Chapter 10

Kyo turned and stared at the boy from the picture. After glancing at the horrified Yuki, he grinned.

"Name's Kyo," he said, "And judging by your hair I'm guessing you're Hatsuharu."

Haru looked at Kyo, well, more of glared at him.

"Yes. I am. What are you doing with Yuki?"

Yuki finally came to his sense.

"What are you doing here?! Akito sent you away!"

Haru smirked.

"Oh? Has my little mouse finally grown a backbone? You never talk to me like that. I'm going to have to put you in you place."

Hatrsuharu removed his coat and prepared to jump in. Kyo turned his eyes from Yuki to Haru and back to Yuki.

"Wait," Kyo said, "What the hell do you think you're doing? If anyone's going to hurt Yuki, it's gonna be me. We still have a score to settle so don't bother."

Haru gave Kyo a blank stare before laughing out loud.

"A score to settle? How childish."

Haru swam over to Yuki ripping him away from Kyo. Yuki merely whimpered trying to cover his head with his arms.

"H-help me Kyo!"

Hatsuharu raised a fist at Yuki and hit him. Suddenly filled with rage, Kyo grabbed Yuki with his left hand and pushed Haru away with his right. He then got in between the tow and punched the white haired boy. Yuki scrambled back to land as Haru and Kyo fought. Meanwhile in the water, Haru was getting pissed.

"You little-!" Haru launched himself at Kyo trying to punch him in the face. Kyo blocked the punch and sent his own. Following that, he curled his fingers around Haru's neck.

"What the hell is your problem?" Kyo demanded.

Haru grabbed Kyo's wrists trying to pull him off.

"You'd better stay away from Yuki! He's mine!"

Kyo gripped tighter refusing to let go.

"No!" He yelled, "He's mine!"

Surprised by the words that cam out of his mouth, Kyo paused.

'Did I just say that?!' He wondered.

Yuki stared at Kyo in disbelief.

"You mea that?"

Kyo looked at Yuki remembering he was still there.

'Damn it.' He thought. 'I did just say that...'

However, before anyone had the chance to react, Hatori and Shigure burst through the brush on horseback. Hatsuharu swore and kicked Kyo who released him. Hatori met him and he scrambled out of the water.

"Kyo! What have I told you about fighting," Shigure said.

"Aw can it," Kyo mumbled.

"Kyo, are you okay?" Yuki asked.

Kyo gave him a nod before climbing out of the lake.

"I'm fine," Kyo said in a harsh tone, "I've been in worse fights before. One guy even cut me once. And of course when I fought you...if you can fight then why the hell are you afraid of that guy?"

Yuki shook his head.

"You wouldn't understand."

"Whatever," Kyo said, "We should head back."

Kyo wanted to change the subject form Haru as quickly as he could, though Yuki was not so eager.

"So...did you mean what you said in the water?" He asked.

Kyo gave him an embarrassed glare and didn't answer. Yuki walked in front of Kyo bringing him to a halt.

"Please tell me."

"Fine. What do you think?"

Yuki stared at him.

"I really can't say."

"Why not?" Kyo asked, "Are you embarrassed?"

"Huh? No. But I can find out my own way if you want me to."

Kyo paused.

"...how?"

Yuki's smirk got bigger.

"Like this."

Yuki reached up, grabbed Kyo around the neck and kissed him. Kyo hesitated before pulling back.

"That's one way of doing things I guess. Fine. So what if I did?"

Yuki laughed.

"Nothing. I'm just glad you did. Let's just go."

"Oh don't worry about us!" Shigure smiled behind his hand, "We'll meet you two at home."

"Fine," Kyo said, "But Yuki?"

"Yeah."

"You're steering."
