Sorry these updates took so long but I kept debating over how I wanted the story to go and I finally decided that the way I had it orginally was best.

A HUGE thank you to all my reviewers by the way. I can't believe that this story is well liked!


After that night Kyo officially entered into a secret relationship with Yuki. Every weekend Yuki would sneak over to Ayame's to take Kyo out for the night.

Ayame and Mine were thrilled that things were finally working out for their two favorite lovebirds and insisted on dressing Kyo up before every date and demanding all the juicy details afterwards.

Of course Yuki still had no idea that he was actually dating a boy but Kyo tried not to think about that. He just wanted the dream he was in to last for as long as possible.


Akito's room was full of darkness when Kureno stepped inside of it. He could just make out Akito lying curled up under a heap of blankets on his futon.

He had been like this ever since Kureno had accused him of loving Kyo. It seemed that like usual his emotions had made him sick.

Kureno sat down by the futon and laid his hand gently on Akito's shoulder. "How are you feeling?" He asked softly.

The answer surprised him.

"I want Kyo."

"Kyo?" Kureno echoed.

Akito nodded and rolled over, grabbing hold of Kureno's shirt. "Bring him to me, Kureno," He said. "He's the only one that can make me feel better."

Kureno placed his hands over Akito's and slowly loosened them from his shirt. "I'll get him for you then," He said.


"Can I open my eyes yet?" Kyo asked.

He had come to Shigure's house today because Yuki had said he had a surprise for him. So now he was being lead through the woods, promising not to open his eyes till he was told.

"You can in a second or two," Yuki said. "We're nearly there."

"If you say so," Kyo said. "You better not lead me into a tree or anything."

Yuki laughed and squeezed the hand he was holding. "Of course not," He said.

He lead Kyo a few more paces and then stopped. "Okay," He said, "you can look now."

Kyo opened his eyes and was astonished to find a huge bush of red roses infront of him.

"I know that roses are pretty cliché," Yuki said nervously, "but it's the only thing I could think to plant that would express my feelings correctly."

Kyo tore his eyes from the roses and looked over at Yuki. "Their not cliché at all," He said. "These are my favorite flowers."

Yuki brightened instantly. "Really?" He beamed. "Then its perfect!"

Kyo opened his mouth to answer him but suddenly the over part of Yuki's words came back to him.

The only thing I could think to plant that would express my feelings correctly…

"Yuki, do you love me?" He whispered.

"So you caught on to why I planted it," Yuki said with a small smile. He pressed his lips softly against Kyo's cheek. "Yes," He said. "I love you."

Kyo felt his heart raced happily at these words but then stopped when he realized something. Yuki still thought that he was a girl. He was in love with Hinata not Kyo. And no matter how much he loved Yuki he wanted him to reallylove him not someone he was pretending to be.

"Yuki," He said softly, "there's something you should know. I'm not really…"

He trailed off when he felt Yuki stiffen against him. He looked up and found Yuki staring at something over his shoulder with his wide eyes full of surprise. "Yuki?" He frowned.

He jumped as a hand came down on his shoulder and he whipped around to find himself face to face with Kureno Sohma.

Yuki's eyes narrowed and he pulled Kyo to him protectively. "What are you doing here?" He demanded.

"I'm here for Hinata-san," Kureno said.

Yuki's hand tightened around Kyo's and Kyo gave it a comforting squeeze. "What do you want me for?" He asked.

"Akito wants you," Kureno said.

Kyo could feel his heart stop. He could already guess why Akito wanted to see him and he didn't want to have to do go through it again. Not when the last incident had only been a few weeks ago…

"What does Akito want with Hinata?" Yuki asked. His eyes widened. "He didn't—"

Kureno held up a hand to stop him from continuing. "Don't worry," He said. "He doesn't know that you're together."

"You won't tell him will you?" Kyo asked.

Kureno gave him a small smile. "I'm not that cruel," He said.

"Good," Yuki said. "But why does Akito want to see Hinata?"

"That's a private matter," Kureno said.

Yuki frowned and opened his mouth to demand that Kureno tell him what was going on but Kyo placed his hand on his cheek stopping him.

"Don't worry Yuki-kun," He said. "I'll be fine."

"I should go with you," Yuki said. "You don't know Akito like I do."

"I know him better then you think," Kyo said. Yuki gave him a confused look but he shook his head. "I'll explain everything when I get back," He said. He brushed his lips against Yuki's before taking the hand Kureno offered him and let himself be lead away from Yuki and his garden.

The whole time he could feel Yuki's eyes burning holes in his back.


Akito didn't stir when the door opened. He heard the dull pad of footsteps on the floor and then a soft thud as someone snuck to their knees beside the futon. He clutched the quilt that the maids had wrapped around him as tightly as possible. Please let it be him, He thought. Please let him have come to me.

His prayers were answered when the person leaned over him and a shower of orange tresses fell infront of his face. He rolled over and looked up into the face of the person he had been longing to see for weeks now.

"Kyo…"
