Chapter 20b
Kyo looked up at the ceiling staring at the flecks of white paint, which still had its recent glow as he thought. He could see that a number of things in his life were changing fast and not necessarily how he had planned. Kyo had hoped before that he and Yuki could at least be friends if not lovers but things had seemed to have gotten worse between the two of them. Yuki hardly spoke to Kyo any more they weren't even having there usual fights about trivial things. However Yuki seemed to be around more often even though he never said anything to Kyo he was there and occasionally Kyo had caught a glance directed towards him. On top of that there was Haru.
Kyo reached his hand into the cubical and turned the shower on after undressing he entered the shower cubical and let the warm water glide over his body. Just thinking about a shower and Haru at the same time, brought forth painful memorys of being shoved against the tiled wall, his back aching, hands fiercely roaming his body, being surrounded by a pool of blood and left alone on the cold wet floor. No, he thought Haru's not always like that he can be gentle like he was just now. Like two sides of a coin there are two sides to Haru, and neither can be without the other, but could he cope with Haru's rough, forceful and violent side.
Just like the paint though Kyo decided that new things can be good and with the right choices he could glow.
Kyo left the bathroom fully dressed and made his way down stairs where he found Momiji jumping around
'I don't understand how you can be so annoying this early in the morning.'
'Good morning Kyon-Kyon.' Kyo's arm's instantly held the small boy
'What have I told you about calling me that?' Kyo told him enraged as he
'Waaaaaaahhhh, Kyo's hurting me.' Momiji called out
'Kyo what did I tell you!' an annoyed voice called out. Looking up from a mop of blonde hair Kyo saw Hatori's head poking out of the kitchen calm as ever. Letting go of Momiji, Kyo walked out the door.
Finding a quiet empty space Kyo started to Stretch out his muscles slightly before taking a familiar stance, as he started to run through a basic kata to loosen up, knowing that this would help him think clearly.
Unknown to Kyo though he had chosen a spot which could easily be seen from Yuki's room. As Yuki was sleepily getting dressed through silted eyes he gazed out the window and was gifted with the sight of a graceful figure moving around. The vision forced Yuki to open his eyes properly to see who was out there. His eyes focused on the orange hair as he watched his cousin run through his routine.
Yuki had been watching for about twenty minutes, as Kyo completed different exercises w\hen Kyo's face lit up in a smile. He had never seen such a smile on his cousin's face even when he was with Torhu. Ecstatic smile mesmerised Yuki even as it flittered from Kyo's face.
As Kyo had concentrated he had become more aware of the movements around him he even had felt the presence of someone else watching him but hadn't managed to work out who it was until Yuki and subconsciously walked right up to the window and for some reason it made Kyo happy that Yuki would watch him. But then why would he want to spy on Kyo unless he actually did harbour some kind of feelings.
Yuki gazed at the colour of the sun as it reflected on the muscular and tanned body the cat. His face and eyes absorbed the radiant light. He was still near shock at the sight, when Kyo suddenly fought a yawn and decided to stretch causing Yuki to catch his breath.
Seeing Yuki's reaction Kyo became extremely confused and sat down to think.
After this morning with Haru he really wasn't sure what he wanted any more…it was one thing to accept that he was never going to interested in girls but having feeling for two different guys was going to be something to get used to especially knowing that he had to choose between waiting for Yuki to confront his feeling and the ever passionate Haru.
Yuki couldn't move his eyes away from the sight. He sighed in appreciation. His eyes glazed over in a daze of dreaminess, as he thought it would be kind of nice to feel that body stretch like that against him. He was so lost in thought that he never noticed that Kyo was no longer standing in the yard for a few moments.
Kyo had walked back inside the house fed up of being stared at as if he was a piece of meat. Kyo walked through the living room and into the dining room where he found Hatori, Ayame, Shigure, Momiji and Haru. They were all sat together eating
'Breakfast, Kyo.' Momiji called out as Kyo entered the room; walking straight past Kyo went into the kitchen. Opening the fridge he pulled out cartoon of milk and went to sit down. As he sat down next to Hatori, Yuki made an appearance and sat down opposite Kyo.
When every one had finished eating Hatori asked them all
'So what are we going to do today?'
'Well I for one would enjoy a boat ride, since I haven't really been out since we arrived'
'Ayame we know that it your own fault that you've barely left your room'
'Well you should come visit me more often then Hatori' Ayame told him tears misting over his eyes
'Yey lets go again' Momiji chimed in
'I'm sure it would be fun' Haru told them
'No, I don't want to' Kyo said defiantly
'But why not Kyon-Kyon?' Haru asked him as Kyo glared back
'What did I tell you about calling me that?'
'Is the little kitten afraid of a little water?' Yuki teased Kyo
'I am not!'
'But you are though aren't you it's always been your weakness which is why you don't even want to go in a boat' Yuki came back, knowing full well that Kyo never had a descent comeback for one of there verbal onslaughts.
'Come on lets go now!' Kyo said as Yuki held back a chuckle knowing that Kyo just did what he thought he would. He put the remaining milk back into the fridge before heading off to where he thought the boats were.
'He changed his tune quickly.' Ayame pointed out
'Well he never has been able to turn down the opportunity to prove himself in front of Yuki.'
'well,' Hatori told the remaining family members 'I expect you all to have your things packed and ready for a prompt departure at 4 pm.' Standing up Hatori headed for the door to follow Kyo.
next scene
As Yuki rowed the boat he wondered how this had happened again Kyo and Haru alone together and there was nothing he could do about it. How could this happen he wondered the two of them were continually together no matter how many threats he sent in Haru's way. Leaving no time for him to be with Kyo instead he got stuck with Momiji time after time.
Yuki glanced round trying to keep track of where everyone was. The closest boat to his that he saw contained Ayame lazing about the front of the boat as Hatori and Shigure rowed holding an ore each. The only thing that Yuki felt he could be thankful for was that he wasn't stuck with his brother.
Yuki's gaze flew on and his eyes focused in on a particular boat which was surprisingly far from his own. Yuki attempted to close that gap but with each stroke that vessel seemed to grow further and further away no matter what Yuki did.
'Haru.' Kyo spoke softly
'Yes, Kyon-Kyon.' Haru waited moment expecting the usual objection to this nickname
'I…' Kyo started trying to form the words in his head that would be the best to perform the job he needed. Seeing Kyo's Timidity Haru knew that what Kyo was going to say would be in some way important 'this morning' Kyo started again 'you asked me a question and I just want to know…'
'I want to know why you would want me … the monster of the family,'
If you would like to know I had so much fun at the convention how ever I spent too much money in the dealer's room but then doesn't everyone. And I got to see 'Blood' live and Kaede was wearing the prettiest dress in the world and I wanted to steal it so me and my friend stalked him for a bit but then the bouncers wouldn't let us follow him. my friend did steal his water though. I wanted his pick but someone got to it before me. Anyway after I came back from the con work have overloaded me with shifts and I've not had time to finish writing this chapter till now so I'm sorry about that. But I do hope you have enjoyed it and just to show me that you do I wont post the next chapter till I have 48 reviews! Though I'm starting to think that this might have been a very long chapter if I didn't decide to split it up like this.
Bye for now
