Authors note: I said I would update, didn't I? I made a final decition on a Yuki 3... I'll make one in the future, but not currently. I don't feel like making promises I can't seem to keep. :(

I have been so grateful for every thing everyone has done for this story. I can't believe we got this far! Thank you to every one who helped, suggested and reviewed for Yuki 2.


Chapter 7: THE VERY LAST CHAPTER! (can you believe it?)

xxxxxxx

Yuki smiled and Kyou stared. They didn't break the happy gaze until the lights flicked on and a panting Hatori stood in the door way. Kyou let go of Yuki, and the rat frowned.

"What?" Kyou growled. Hatoris eyes flashed to the ground where Ayame layed collapsed. He looked back up to Kyou then he noticed Yuki.

"Y-you're awake!"

Yuki smiled and pulled Kyou closer again. The cat turned to face him and the stood nose to nose. For the first time ever, Yuki trusted someone. And of all the people it could be, it was Kyou.

Kyou leaned down, keeping a single inch between their lips. Yuki quickly closed the space and they kissed softly.

Hatori sighed and sat on the floor, frowning at Ayame. He mind was too fuzzy to think straight. Cat and Rat kissing. A protective brother, AYAME of all people, bearing a gun, aiming to kill.

He knew it would never be the same in the Sohma house. And so did the boys as they pulled apart. Yuki looked down at the floor, and Kyou looked at Yuki's face.

Something was changing, right then. Some thing was... what was it? Kyou averted his eyes from Yuki to look at his wrists. It wasn't on his left wrist. And it wasn't on his right. It wasn't there.

Yuki held it to his lips, smiling.

THE BEADS!

He did the first thing he thought of, he slapped them out of Yuki's hands.

But he didn't transform.

He didn't... transform.

He...

Yuki grabbed Kyou in another embrace, and assured him that every thing would be okay. Every thing was going to be alright.

THE END

I love you all. Goodbye.
