Quick Notes: I don't own Fruits Basket! Does anyone still read this anymore xD I haven't updated in so long ;w; I'm so so so sorry! The main reason was because work has kept me from doing pretty much anything -w- The other was because I lost my password to this place -w-; I know, it was pretty embarrassing -w-; But I'm back now :D With Act X of Bittersweet!! Enjoy! Forgive typo's and errors and all that mess -w- Also there's a new (well sorta new) character in this one! Mind-Kyo xD! A character stemming from Yuki's sick imagination :3

-love-

Yuki hurried out the door, determined to catch Kyo and try to have a word with him alone. Now that Haru was white again, maybe he'd get lucky and they could have some privacy.

"Hey! K-Kyo!" Yuki called, doing his best to keep his voice calm. Kyo spun around, fixing Yuki with his usual glare.

"What do you want, Rat?" Kyo murmured. The nickname that had once urked Yuki to no end, now sent shivers up his spine. Especially when Kyo said it that way; so full of distaste.

"There's something I…Well, I…I need to talk to you.." Yuki finished lamely, running a hand through his lavender hair. Kyo glared back at him and turned to Haru, giving him a "What do you think?" look. Haru merely smiled back at him and nodded.

"I'll just…go on ahead and keep Tohru company…"He said softly. He assumed the talk was about Yuki's disproval of his and Kyo's relationship, and didn't want to go black from hearing what Yuki had to say on the subject. Haru sped up a little, meeting up with Tohru, and the two walked off toward the school.

Yuki, meanwhile, grabbed Kyo roughly by the hand and drug him off in the opposite direction.

"HEY!" Kyo blurted out. "Where the hell are you taking me!?" He did his best to try and tug his hand out of Yuki's grasp, but the rat had an iron-clad grip on it. Kyo eventually stopped struggling and let himself be led to a clearing where a little garden was sitting.

"This must be that secret fort or whatever, he and Tohru go on about." Kyo thought. He glanced over at the small garden and gave an unimpressed smirk. "Dunno what's so great here…" He thought.

Yuki turned to face Kyo and quickly dropped his hand. Kyo turned his head toward Yuki and fixed his blood red eyes on him. Yuki shivered slightly under Kyo's gaze. He wasn't glaring at him or yelling, he was just standing there, smirking in his cocky way.

"Alright rat, what's this big secret you had to drag me all the way out here for? Hurry it up, I'd like to catch up to Haru and Tohru before they make it to school." Kyo said, placing his hand on his hip. Yuki gulped nervously, here came the hard part.

"I suppose…the first thing I should do…is be completely honest…" Yuki started. He looked down to avoid Kyo's gaze and began lacing and unlacing his fingers together, nervously.

"Yesterday…Tohru and I were coming home from buying groceries, when we noticed that our strawberries had become ripe." Yuki motioned to the garden patch and Kyo turned to see small, plump flashes of red dotted in it. Yuki continued.

"So, I took the grocery bags from her and asked her to wait here while I put up the groceries and retrieved the tools and we would harvest them…I made my way back to the house…groceries in hand…and when I walked in I saw-well-heard, rather, you and…Haru…doing…" Yuki couldn't finish his sentence. His face turned a deep scarlet and he became very interested in a certain spot on the ground. Kyo, on the other hand, looked directly at Yuki, his eyes bugged and his mouth slightly dry.

"I tried to turn and leave...but my legs...sort of...froze..." Yuki continued. His face was becoming more scarlet with every word he spoke and he didn't dare look at Kyo's face.

"I tried not to look...but then Haru looked up and saw me standing there and...he stared. He just stared at me!" Yuki's voice rose and he felt his chest tighten. His breathing sped up and he shut his eyes tight.

"He invited me to come and...watch you that night...the two of you..." Yuki muttered.

"You didn't-" Kyo began and for the first time Yuki shot his head up glaring at Kyo's face.

"Of course not! Thats disgusting!" He spat. Kyo took a step back, surprised by Yuki's angry tone.

Yuki bit his bottom lip, he was lying of course. But there was no sense telling Kyo more then he needed to know. Yuki continued.

"I just wanted to tell you...to watch out for Black Haru...he's...not like the real Haru. He's dangerous." Yuki muttered. He thought back to the way Black Haru had stared at him, and a shiver ran through his body. Kyo was merely looking down at the ground, unable to say anything.

"K-Kyo..." Yuki began. He held out his hand and tried to tap Kyo on the shoulder, to wake him out of his trance. Kyo grabbed his hand and threw him into a nearby bush, much to Yuki's surprise.

"Just...Just stay outta my business ok!?" Kyo yelled. He turned and ran off toward the school, leaving a bewildered, and somewhat sore, Yuki behind.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yuki had made it to school with just seconds to spare. He hurried to his class, but couldn't concentrate on the school work placed in front of him.

"That's the first time he's ever thrown me to the ground..." Yuki thought. His mind kept going back to the shocked, and almost...hurt, look in Kyo's eyes.

"Did I do the right thing..? Maybe I should have just minded my own business..." Yuki thought quietly to himself. He ran a hand lazily through his lavender hair, trying to clear his head. Today was going to be the longest day ever.

The dismissal bell rang and Yuki jumped up, grabbing his books and heading through the door. He had already told all the members of the student council that the meeting that afternoon had to be canceled, due to 'personal issues'. He walked toward the student council building, hoping for some time to himself and some piece and quiet. Tohru jumped in front of him on the way, a worried look on her face.

"Yuki! Kyo wasn't in school today...No one has seen him at all! Was he sick this morning when you left him?" Tohru asked. Yuki felt a guilty pang in his chest. He had noticed Kyo wasn't in any of the classes he usually had with him, but he assumed he was avoiding him, for obvious reasons.

"He was...feeling a little ill this morning, yes." Yuki replied, giving Tohru a soft smile. Yuki felt a hand come up and pull on his hair.

"Aah-OW!" Yuki exclaimed, turning around and almost bumping into Hatsuharu.

"A-Ah, oh...Haru.." Yuki muttered. Haru fixed him with a lazy stare, his eyes light gray and worried.

"Kyo's sick you said? What was wrong with him? He seemed fine this morning." He replied. Yuki blushed. He didn't quite know how to answer that...

"I guess he just...caught a sudden virus or something. Yuki replied. Tohru seemed satisfied with that, and told the two of them she would go home and make him some soup. Haru, on the other hand, glared slightly at Yuki.

After Tohru bounced away, Haru grabbed Yuki slightly by the shirt and tugged him into the empty student council building.

"You took Kyo aside this morning for something, and now he's suddenly 'sick'. What kind of idiot do you take me for Yuki? What really happened? I want the truth this time." Haru said, making an effort to keep his voice calm. Yuki could see he was teetering on light and dark and couldn't think of what to say. He sighed and leaned back on one of the desks.

"Look...Haru...I know that you-well, white you, would never hurt Kyo..." Yuki began. "But...black you is...well...not so loving..." Yuki finished, giving Haru a frightened stare from under his lashes. Haru gazed at him, puzzled, and Yuki sighed.

"Ok...try to keep calm alright?" Yuki said. He explained to Haru everything that had happened, right up till this morning, when he and Kyo had their talk. Haru merely stared at him, his face blank.

"H-Haru..?" Yuki replied. Haru closed his eyes and lowered his head into his palms, breathing slow and deep. Yuki began to worry, thinking he had caused some sort of panic attack in his younger cousin.

"Haru...look I'm-" Yuki began, reaching forward to comfort Haru. He was cut off by a ring-clad hand gripped tightly around his outstretched wrist.

"You...told Kyo all of that?" Haru said, his voice was low and Yuki began to get nervous.

"I bet you didn't tell him how you stayed and watched...or how you touched yourself that night, moaning his name." Haru looked up at Yuki, his eyes a deep black.

"I bet you didn't tell him how much you wanted to come watch...To see his face when I took him...when I used him." Haru continued, walking closer to Yuki and pushing him backwards onto the desk. Yuki whimpered, his body shivering from fear. There was no telling what Black Haru was capable of.

"You didn't tell him you were just as sick as me. Wanting to use him for your own sick fantasies. We're exactly the same...Kyo's nothing but a toy..." Haru continued. Yuki shook his head, clamping his eyes closed tightly.

"N-No! He's not...and I'm not like you! I don't do the things to him that you do!" Yuki spat, raising his head up to yell into Haru's face.

"Oooh...but you want to Yuki...I know how badly you want to.." Haru cooed, lowering his face to Yuki's neck. Yuki grit his teeth and wriggled, trying to push the taller boy off him. He couldn't budge Haru's frame, no matter how much he struggled. Yuki sighed, he felt drained, like all his strength had left him. Haru began slowly nibbling and licking Yuki's neck, laughing slightly when he heard Yuki whimper.

"I know you want him Yuki...Ever since you saw him...heard him...I know your mind's been rotting inside out with thoughts of him in every possible way you could imagine him. There's nothing wrong with that...Kyo's very attractive...and a very good lover." Haru replied, continuing to lick slowly up and down Yuki's neck. Yuki sighed, trying to keep his mind from wondering back to thoughts of Kyo smirking down at him.

"If you want...you could pretend...I wouldn't mind..." Haru said, bringing the hand, still holding Yuki's wrist, up above his head. His other hand moved down to pull the lavender-headed boys shirt from his pants and slowly began pulling apart the buttons.

"N-No..!" Yuki cried, biting his bottom lip as his shirt was thrown open and Haru's hand grazed lightly over a hardened nipple.

"You could pretend I'm Kyo..." Haru continued, ignoring Yuki's protests as his hand ground into his chest. Yuki moaned, feeling Haru's crotch rub hard against the bulge in his pants. His face became crimson with shame as he heard Haru chuckle.

"You're already half-way there Yuki...All you have to do is take these pants off...Keep your eyes closed...I'll keep quiet, and you can imagine it's Kyo touching you like this..." Haru said, his hand leaving Yuki's chest and slowly working down to caress the bulge in his pants. Yuki moaned, tears springing into the corner of his eyes.

"N-No...Please..." He started. Haru laughed more, his rubbing becoming rougher.

"Is this how Kyo would rub you, Yuki?" Haru asked, mock confusion in his voice. "Or would he be more...gentle?" Haru cooed out, rubbing Yuki's growing erection slower and softer. Yuki whimpered, a tear rolling from his eye.

Yuki brought his free hand down on Haru's head, running his long fingers through the boys multi-coloured hair.

"M-More...gentle..." Yuki replied, more tears falling from his eyes. Haru raised his head up, gently licking away a few of them.

"Ah...Like this?" Haru replied, gently rubbing Yuki's erection, letting his fingers dance across it slowly.

"A-Ahn...y-yes..." Yuki sighed. He kept his eyes closed tightly, imagining Kyo touching him like this, smirking down at him with an almost sweet look in his eyes.

"More rat? Or should I stop?" Yuki's mind-Kyo asked.

"Nuh-No...Don't stop..." Yuki breathed. He saw his mind-Kyo smile slyly and reach higher, undoing his pants button and slowly, painfully slowly, pull down the zipper. Mind-Kyo's hands flew through the boxers fabric and pulled Yuki's aching erection free.

"Mmm...You're bigger than I thought..." Mind-Kyo replied, gently lowering his head to kiss Yuki's soft chest.

"K-Kyoooohh..."Yuki moaned out as he felt a sharp pain float up from his chest. Mind-Kyo began to suck and bite at that one spot, until Yuki could feel his lips release, and the bruised flesh swell. Mind-Kyo's mouth worked it's way up, lightly kissing Yuki's chin before capturing his lips. His hand sped up, slowly pumping Yuki's member, causing him to moan into the kiss.

Yuki's hand left the bright orange hair and worked its way down to the back of his neck, pulling him roughly into the kiss. Mind-Kyo complied and released Yuki's cock to bring his hands up around Yuki's waist, pulling him up off the desk and deepening their kiss. Mind-Kyo's tongue dove into Yuki's mouth as his crotch rubbed past Yuki's aching erection.

"Y-Your pants..." Yuki breathed into the kiss. "T-Take them off..."

He heard mind-Kyo chuckle before releasing him and standing up. Yuki heard the jingle of a belt and the sound of clothes falling to the floor, before a completely naked body climbed back on top of him.

"Mmmm...Yuuuuki..." Mind-Kyo breathed, rubbing his full erection against Yuki's. Yuki breathed out a moan as he felt mind-Kyo's hand wonder down and begin pumping both organs.

"F-Faster...Ahhhnnn....Pl-Please...Kyo..." Yuki moaned, throwing his arm up over his face and arching his back up off the desk. Mind-Kyo complied, grabbing Yuki's erect nipples with his other hand and pinching them. Yuki cried out, mind-Kyo grabbing his open mouth with his and pulling him into a passionate kiss.

"Ohhhnnn...R-Right there...Ah, ah, ah...K-Kyo...I'm going toooohhnn!" Yuki moaned as he orgasmed, shooting all over mind-Kyo's hand. He heard him laugh.

"You were really pent up, weren't you rat? I bet it feels good to release..." He felt mind-Kyo's weight lift off of him and heard him grunt as he continued to tug at his own cock.

"Sit still rat...I'm going to cover you..." He heard mind-Kyo say, his voice deep and gruff.

Yuki shivered at how dirty and wonderful he felt and moaned aloud when mind-Kyo growled as he released, covering his cool body with hot spurts of his seed. Yuki opened his mouth wide as it landed on his face, catching some and licking his lips.

He heard mind-Kyo panting and opened one eye slowly.

Haru gazed down at him, his face sweaty and tired, but his smirk still showing.

"Ohh Yuki...you look so good like that..." He said. His hand, still covered in Yuki's release, was wrapped firmly around his cock, his deep black eyes still fixed on Yuki's face.

Yuki felt his stomach boil in hot embarrassment. He felt Haru's seed slide down his cheek and land in his hair, while more dripped off his chin and down his neck. Yuki didn't even want to look at how much had covered his pale body. Tears formed in his eyes, and he didn't try to hold them back. He shivered, as they fell, mixing with Haru's seed all over his face.

Haru waltzed over to a nearby sink and pulled several paper towels out of the dispenser. He set them gently beside Yuki and pulled his clothes back on.

"Clean yourself up...and hurry home. Everyones going to start wondering where you are." Haru commented, coldly. He turned and swung the door open, walking out and leaving a sobbing Yuki behind.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kyo picked up a nearby towel and wiped the sweat from his head. He continued to punch the air, kicking at an imaginary opponent and pretending to dodge oncoming attacks. His cell phone nearby buzzed and he picked it up to see a message from Haru on the screen.

"Hey babe I decided to go back to the main house to get some rest since you keep me up all night ;) I'll txt you later. Love you!"

Kyo smiled to himself and set the phone down, turning his attention back towards his training. He heard footsteps behind him and assumed it was Tohru coming to tell him dinner was ready. Kyo turned, and to his surprise was met with purple eyes instead of Tohru's big brown ones.

"Yuki.." Kyo breathed. Yuki's face looked tired and his eyes were bloodshot and wet around them. He had been crying a lot over something. Kyo just stood there, staring at Yuki's sad expression. What was he supposed to say? Maybe Yuki felt bad for what he had said this morning, and was coming to apologize.

"K-Kyo..." Yuki murmured. The name stung his lips, and all he could think about was how he had foolishly moaned it earlier that day. His mind cut back to him wiggling and writhing under Haru's hands, imagining Kyo touching and tasting him. He was no different from Haru...hadn't he just proven that. Yuki felt more tears sliding from his eyes and sighed as he leaned forward, exhausted. Kyo caught him, and Yuki clung to him, his arms wrapped tightly around Kyo's shoulders, trying to support himself.

"Yuki!? What's wrong you stupid rat!? What're you doing!?" Kyo blurted out, obvious fear in his voice. Yuki merely hung there, sobbing and shaking, his cries wracking his whole body.

"-rry!" Yuki sobbed out, his throat cracking and distorting the word.

"W-What?" Kyo replied, watching Yuki shake with every sob. Yuki brought his eyes up to meet Kyo's and Kyo felt a pang of sympathy hit his stomach as he watched more fat tears roll out of those deep purple orbs.

"I'm...so...sorry..." Yuki breathed, lowering his head and doing his best to stop his sobbing.

Kyo just stood there, bewildered. He could feel Yuki slipping away, down onto the floor and he quickly scooped him up, as best he could, to keep the frail boy from falling right onto the ground.

"Yuki, what're you talking about!?" Kyo asked, his voice frantic. The wiry frame in Kyo's arms said nothing and Kyo shook him slightly.

"Yuki? Yuki?!" Kyo yelled. After getting no response, Kyo quickly glanced left and right before scooping Yuki up into his arms.

"Stupid rat...you faint like a woman." Kyo said, carrying the boy downstairs towards his room.

End Notes: There! Act X is up :D Aren't you guys happy!? I know this one seems a bit OOC, but I've gotta admit I really enjoyed writing it. Sorry for the long delay, hopefully Act XI won't be so long away -w-
