Sup people. Thanks for reviewing, and enjoy this next chapter. Chapter four. I GOT OVER THE THREE CHAPTER HUMP! I think whoever made that up lied though. I think it's like up to the third chapter is easier, and the ones AFTER that get harder to do. I will get by this though! I just need a little break. If I end up taking too long of a break (like three or two days) yell at me okay? I'll start daydreaming about this story again and get back into it. Not that I'll get out of it. Cause I won't. Oh, and I'm definitely going have to raise the amount of reviews I need to get before I can update. Maybe like 10? Something like that. I'm falling a bit behind. . . Oh! And I'm changing my name! From Single Black Rose to Midnight Castle, except it's gonna be in japanese! Yoruyonaka Kyassuru. I think it sounds nice! Oh, one more thing. There is a story that's YukiKyo that i really like! You guys should look at it too! It's called Mouse Trap by CaoCao Me (or something like that). It's really cool. I don't know if the person is still writing it though. It's been on Chapter three for a long time. It's still one of my favorites though (yes, it's in my favorites catagory if you just wanna get it there) and the milk thing was brilliant. Read it too! Maybe if people submit enough reviews the person will continue it?

And yes, I've looked for a story that has this type of Yuki in it, but i could never find it. I'm glad you like it!
Disclaimer: If I drew Kyo, that would mean I was his creator, or his mother. I LOVE KYO! And that would be VERY VERY wrong, so, yeah. . . I DON"T OWN IT OKAY?
Scratch that, Yuki thought immediately. Kyo was the grand prize, getting away from Ayame being an added bonus. The Cat had taken the ladder up though, so Yuki was gonna have to swing himself up. He quickly ran up to the rail that guarded people from falling from the balcony, stepped up on top of it, then, turning and using the rail as leverage to jump up to reach the edge of the roof with his hands. He held on tightly, adjusting his grip momentarily before swinging his body up (Like what Ritchan-San (or is it Ritsu?) did when he kinda almost fell off. You'll know what I'm talking about if you've read the books) and onto the roof. He almost fell back again when a loud, angry shout filled his ears. Kyo was standing up on the other end of the roof, apparently very angry.
"GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME!" he yelled at the top of his lungs.
He seemed to have been doing something to his hand before Yuki got there, there was an ace bandage wrapped part way around his hands, a little bit of blood seeping through. Kyo didn't seem to mind this much, and was more preoccupied with the fact that Yuki was up on the roof. Yuki didn't pay any mind to Kyo's shouts though, and stood up carefully, brushing off his pants smoothly. He finally looked up at the steaming cat, annoyance just barely visible.
"Ayame is here Kyo. Do you really expect me to stay anywhere where he can find me?" Yuki asked
Kyo stared at him for a moment. "He's here?" He questioned finally.
Yuki simply nodded.
Normally, Kyo wouldn't have cared who the hell was at the house, and would have found a way to get Yuki off the roof, but Ayame. He was an exception.
"Go lock yourself in your room!" He yelled, though it was clear he was losing the battle.
"You should know from the last time he came here that he found out how to pick my lock." Yuki told him.
Kyo hesitated for a moment more, glare still on Yuki, remembering quite clearly how Ayame had gotten into his room last time to sleep in his bed (as he had done to Kyo) during the night. The next morning Yuki had yelled so loud that Aya shot out of the bed and knocked down Yuki's shelf of books he had in his room. Kyo muttered a curse under his breath before sighing.
"Whatever." He breathed, dropping down to sit at the farthest place away from Yuki, at the edge of the roof. Yuki seemed to have different ideas on how close they would be though, and took a step towards Kyo, a small, almost seductive smile set on his face. Kyo's ears immediately picked up the noise though, and his head snapped up from it's lowered position to yell at Yuki once more.
"DON'T COME NEAR ME! STAY OVER THERE!" He pushed himself up on his hands, back straitening to look at Yuki clear in the eyes. He meant business too. If Yuki tried anything at all either himself or Yuki would be off of the roof in a split second. Thankfully, Yuki stopped after one more step. Surprisingly he settled himself down right there, and though he was still staring at Kyo, he was silent. Kyo blinked a few times, wondering why Yuki listened to him. He turned his head away quickly to look at the surrounding woods. NOT THAT HE WANTED HIM NOT TO! It was just that, well, he never did. Oh, wait-
"I don't know what you're so worried about Kyo," Yuki said gently. "We did make a deal last night. Or have you forgotten?"
Kyo felt himself blush again, and refused to look at Yuki. "SHUT UP!" he yelled, not being able to find anything else to say. He glared at a single tree out in the distance, trying desperately to tune out Yuki's very existence. If he could focus hard enough on something, maybe he would forget about Yuki. Lately, it had seemed that Yuki wanted to haunt his thoughts as well as every fricken place he went. He couldn't well forget last night. How his body reacted. AH! Look at this! He was even thinking about it again! He hated Yuki! Every fiber of his being hated every single thing about the God Damned Rat. Why couldn't he like someone else? He had plenty of fangirls! He even had a few fanguys! He could probably pick any one of them to toy with! But NO! He had to have Kyo.
There was noone he could even go to for help! He couldn't tell anyone! It would be too humiliating, not to mention embarrassing, mortifying, and every other word with that type of meaning! Well, he might be able to go to Shishou, but not directly! He couldn't let his Master know that it was Yuki of all people! Then again, if he even tried to tell him without mentioning Yuki, he'd most likely figure it out. What about Tohru? Wouldn't she just find that disgusting? Or would she not really get it? She wasn't exactly experienced in that category, but she might actually be able to help him! But her just knowing would be no good at all. There's was no way in hell he could tell Shigure, or even let him know! He would report it to Akito in a split second! The stupid Dog had already been suspicious at the beginning, but still, and hopefully, hadn't found anything out. If Akito ever found out about any of this he might do something to Yuki. Like before- AHH!
Kyo jumped up about a foot in the air at the light touch at his arm. He looked over surprised at Yuki, who was now sitting on his knees facing him and directly next to him, his hand extended and was touching his shoulder lightly. His face was partly concerned looking and partly annoyed.
Kyo jerked his arm away quickly, backing up from Yuki, which he was about to do more of when he remembered he was on the edge of the roof.
"WHAT?"
"Kyo." Yuki said sternly. God, what had he been thinking about? Something big apparently, as Yuki had said his name about ten times and Kyo still hadn't responded. In fact, his hardened glare had even softened a little into a thoughtful one. On top of not realizing that Yuki was talking to him, and getting closer, he hadn't realized that his hand was bleeding a little too heavily to ignore. "Your hand."
Kyo stared at Yuki, not exactly registering what he was saying. What was he talking about? His hand? His hand was fine. . .oops. Not fine. He looked down quickly to realize that his bleeding hand had soaked the part around his knuckles with blood. Thankfully he hadn't wrapped too much of it before Yuki had come up, so he would only have to rip off a small part. How could he have forgotten? That was why he had been extremely pissed off even before Yuki had come up. Apparently there had been a piece of wood stuck a bit deeply into Kyo's left hand, and when he had finally picked it out after he brought the ladder up, it had let loose a flow of blood. Blood had never been his favorite thing, and always made his stomach the slightest bit queasy.
He gave Yuki a quick glare, who backed away slightly, and moved so he was no longer balancing on the edge of the roof. He lifted up his hand and unwrapped the ruined part, tearing it off with his teeth before re-wrapping it. Or at least trying to. Another reason why Kyo had been pissed off before Yuki had come up because wrapping on hand using one hand was not exactly the easiest task in the world. The fact that Yuki was now sitting closer to him now was making him a bit jittery too. He fumbled a bit with the ace bandage for a minute, not being able to get it tight or straight or in the right place before two hands stopped him.
Yuki's hands.
Kyo's first reaction was to jerk away, but Yuki grabbed hold of his wrist. "You need some help." It wasn't a question, it was a statement.
"NO. I don't. I can do it myself!" Kyo argued, pulling away again only to have the grip on his wrist tighten.
"No, you can't do it by yourself. I'm helping you so shut up."
Kyo and Yuki glared at each other for a moment, neither quite ready to give in. Why did Kyo have to be so stubborn? He really did want to help. He also wanted to just be able to touch Kyo but hey, noone needed to know that right? Then Yuki felt Kyo's arm relax slightly, moving in the direction Yuki was pulling it until it was extended towards him enough to do something. Kyo's body also had to turn towards him slightly (A/N: His right hand is nearest Yuki, his left farthest.) which didn't help Kyo feel any less comfortable with Yuki. When Yuki let go of his wrist to grab the ace bandage, which had almost completely fallen from its odd position, he thought he felt it tingle slightly at the lost warmth. Kyo mentally slapped himself. What was he thinking? Yuki had probably just cut off the circulation grabbing him like that, Damn Rat. So damn stubborn.
Yuki carefully wrapped the bandage over the small wound, making sure to keep it lightly tightened. He could feel Kyo watching his every move warily. He was so distrusting. Kyo hadn't forgotten the deal of course. What did Yuki do to deserve it? Yuki tucked the end of the bandage into one of the other folds, lightly running his hand across his handiwork and smiling at Kyo gently. Or was it a smirk?
Kyo pulled his hand back, a small blush on his face and turned his body so it was back to facing out instead of towards Yuki.
"Thanks. . ." He mumbled, glaring again. What was wrong with him? Wasn't he pissed with him a second ago? He had let Yuki help him! Something was apparently wrong with him. Maybe he was getting sick?
"I was glad to help." Yuki stated, his voice flowing gently.
Kyo huffed out a sigh, glancing back over at Yuki, who was still looking at him a if he wanted to- NO. Kyo would not think about that. No. "Yeah, well get back on the other side of the roof, Damn Rat." He growled, looking in the opposite direction. Yuki just looked at the back of his head, and was about to reach out and ruffle his hair when that voice he had come to know and be annoyed by rang out.
"Oh YUUUUKI!" Ayame's voice called, causing both Kyo and Yuki to freeze.
Ayame walked through the second floor hall and to Yuki's door. Where was his little brother? They desperately needed to bond! Aya turned the door knob and it opened! Had he left his door unlocked just for him? Well how thoughtful! Aya opened the door, fully prepared to extend his love for Yuki's sake but found that Yuki was not in his room at all! He was sure that Yuki had come up the stairs though!
"Oh Shigure!" He called out. "Shigure! Come quick!" Busying himself with checking the bathroom for his dearest and only brother until Shigure appeared at the top of the stairs.
"What is it?" He asked, knowing already the cause, and knowing that today was going to be rather fun if Aya stayed around.
"I can't find Yuki! His precious being is nowhere to be found! YuuuuuKiiiii!"
Shigure smiled lightly. "Why don't we check Kyo's room?" Shigure asked, voice a bit lower than usual.
"Kyonkichi's room?" Aya asked, perplexed. "Why would Yuki be in there?" Aya began to walk to the door nonetheless.
"Well, I think something's going on between those two." Shigure explained. "They've been acting rather strange. Or Kyo has but he's always that way!"
Ayame opened Kyo's door, but noone was in there either. He gasped anyway though. "You mean Yuki and Kyo are having a romantic fantasy? Oh MY!" Aya's mind raced. He worked with these types of costumers all the time at his shop! Oh! Would they need some special outfits? Yuki would look rather catching in a dress! And Kyo! My he use to hate Yuki! Wonderful wonderful! Oooh, he would have to report this to Hatori! Not right then though, Shigure was saying something.
"I'm not quite sure what exactly is going on Aya, so don't start thinking about getting them those kinds of costumes. They're too young for that anyhow."
"Oh but Shigure! We liked those things at a younger age than them!"
"Yes yes, but Yuki-kun and Kyo-Kun are both very fragile, wouldn't want them to get ahead of themselves." Shigure's eyes sparkled with laughter as he said this.
"Ah! You are right! Yuki is very fragile! I hope Kyonkichi isn't being to rough with him!" Aya fluttered down the hall checking in Tohru's room.
"I don't think they'd be in there Aya. . ."
"Different locations make for pleasure! Where else would they be?" Aya and Shigure exchanged looks.
"Location. . ." Shigure said, looking up at the ceiling.
"OH YUKI! KYONKICHIIIIII!" Aya called sweetly, walking to the balcony. He discovered, however, that the ladder had been drawn up. Shigure joined him, looking up at the edge of the roof.
"Kyo Yuki! What could you be doing up there?" He cried.
"Now now Shigure. We must give the young ones their privacy!"
"Oh of course Aya! Wouldn't want to spoil the mood!"
A loud thump was heard up on the roof, where Kyo had finally managed to throw Yuki off of him and free his mouth.
"YOU FUCKIN SNAKE!" He yelled.
He was severely pissed off now, more than he had ever remembered being in his entire life. At the first comment that came from Aya's mouth about some romantic fantasy Kyo had sprung up, completely ready to tell both the rat and the dog exactly what was up using. . . body language,but Yuki had grabbed him and covered his mouth with his hand. Yuki hadn't wanted them to find out that they were on the roof, but with every little thing those two downstairs had said Kyo had thrashed under him more and more until that last bit.
"Oh Kyonkichi! What was that sound? You are being to rough with him aren't you?" Aya cried, causing Kyo's face to grow red with rage.
"I'm gonna KILL YOU!" Kyo shouted furiously, going up to the edge of the roof, ready to jump down on the two of them, but they had already taken off, running through the house. Kyo jumped down onto the balcony, not quite planning on taking his anger out on them, but more on the house. He kicked down all the doors and broke most of the sliding doors on his way out into the woods, where he was once again going to tear up everything he could touch.
Yuki sighed. He had tried to keep Kyo under control but when he got mad, well, it could get worse than dealing with black Haru. Yuki rolled his shoulders a bit, trying to unhitch the small knot in his back from Kyo very effectively pushing him off. Well, at least Kyo had chased away Ayame, for the moment at least. Now Kyo was rampaging through forest somewhere though, and it was very unlikely he would be back soon. So what now? To start, Yuki grabbed the ladder that rested on the other fold of the roof and lowered it back into it's place and climbed back down.
Yuki walked downstairs and into the kitchen, staring at the stove and considering trying to make something for himself, since the onigiri was gone, but remembered Uotani-San's advice. ". . .try not to cook and burn the house down." Very good advice too, seeing as how Yuki could not cook to save his own life. So he went to the phone and decided to order some take-out. The guy who delivered still knew them well. . .
Was that too short of a chapter? Do you guys think this is moving too slow? I can make it go faster if you guys want, but I'm just trying to get in enough details. Oh, and I have decided that there is going to be a Sequel! Not quite sure what it'll be called yet, but I'm pretty sure there will be one. Just so you all know you are all very lucky! I have never written a story this long! Thank you all so much! You keep me motivated! Never mind what I said before about reviews. For now I'm gonna try to update every day. It might need to turn to every other day or something though. Hey, can anyone explain to me clearly what a C2 community is? How bout a Forum? The things don't explain it clearly enough and I don't get it. Oh, and I have found a good website to translate English to Japanese.I found it on Pretty useful. It's how I came up with the name Yoruyonaka Kyassuru (Midnight Castle). I'm gonna try to put more characters into the story in the next chapter and I think I'll bring Tohru home. Okay, Read and Review!
