Forbidden Lovers

Tight Lipped

All of the zodiac kneeled in two awkwardly straight lines facing the thin wall. There was an eerie air in the room as there always was. It felt cold as well and it caused a few of them to shiver at the feeling. Their God rested up against her paper sliding door gazing at the outdoors. Her eyes scanned over the area; a dripping cloudy sky, luscious kelly green grass being doused by the rain, wild life hidden in their homes. Akito blinked a few times before releasing a long drawn-out sigh from her thin pale lips. Reluctantly, she parted her lips, allowing her ghostly voice to flow out.

"No one speaks to the Rat. No one speaks to him in the next five years." Multiple gasps could be heard coming from the zodiac. Shigure especially, for he had to live with Yuki and not speaking to him would be almost impossible. Before anyone could try to ask why, Akito spoke again. "No type of interaction with him at all. Anyone who speaks or does anything with Yuki will be damned and face consequences. Shigure... you are no exception to this rule. The Rat must be as though he never existed in your minds."

Ayame gasped at the order. He couldn't imagine not being able to talk to his younger brother after all his hard work on trying to fix their tattered relationship. He wanted to speak up badly on behalf of his younger kin, but he didn't believe it would be for the best.

Haru gripped his pants leg tightly, trying not to explode in rage. He knew Yuki was going to get worse emotionally due to this new rule. He already lost Kyo and now basically losing the entire family wasn't going to be any better. A low growl reverberated from his throat and it was quite audible in the silent room. Akito's head swiftly turned to the noise, eyes venomous.

"Does someone not like my punishment? If so, I'd appreciate it if you spoke up." No one said anything. A few of them bowed their heads, including Ayame, and they kept them very low. Akito turned her head around and locked eyes with the Ox. "Isn't there something you want to say Hatsuharu? Ayame?" Ayame didn't say anything, but Haru grumbled deeply and decided to stand up for Yuki. He stood up, suddenly filled with intense rage, and soon transformed into his black self.

"You sick dirty bastard, what makes you think that basically isolating him will do any good? He's already lost his love and now you want to snatch his family from him?" Haru started to walk closer to his God, dangerously close. Haru cracked his knuckles as he glared sadistically. "What kind of fucker are you huh?" Hatori and Shigure began to stand for they knew Haru in this irrational state wasn't going to end well.

"Haru don't do anything stupid," Shigure said cautiously. But before the words could reach Haru's dark mind, he rushed over to Akito and gripped her loose kimono, forcing the sickly being into the air, her feet dangling above the cold wooden floor.

Akito's usual grin was now on her face as she began to speak, "What are you going to do Ox? What can you possibly do?"

Haru returned a grin to Akito, now they had matching smirks. "Don't test me."

"Let go off him Haru," Hatori said as well. "Think about what you're doing."

"There's no time for thinking when he's in that state," Rin chirped from her kneeling position on the floor. "He seems to not understand the difference between what's right and wrong when he's black."

After listening to Rin, Shigure charged after Haru and shook him. "Let him go Haru. It's not worth it." Haru gripped tighter on the frail female he held in his grasp and was becoming even more obstinate his zodiac sign foretold.

"I want to break his little neck. I want to hear the bones shatter," he said, his words smothered in brutality. "I want to watch it distort in every which way possible."

Rin stood up slowly, her jet black hair sliding over her body like dark streams. She walked over to Haru, standing at his left side calmly. She stared into his raging eyes. "Stop."

"No..." he whispered almost silently, "no....."

Yuki sat down at the table across from Tohru. She had just placed the lunch before them, consisting of white rice, fish, and green tea for them to drink. Tohru also made extra fish for Kyon Kyon, who was eating quite audibly in the kitchen. Yuki grabbed his chopsticks and started eating the rice silently, his purple eyes concentrating on the pale food before him. Tohru looked up from her own food and realized that he wasn't speaking much and that he picked up very little food. She smiled softly and reached across the table to barely cover his hand. Yuki quickly looked up at the pretty girl before him.

"Yuki, don't feel so down. Everything is going to be fine."

"Oh, I'm sorry Ms. Honda. I don't want you to worry about me."

"But if I don't worry, who will? Everyone always needs someone to worry about. Worrying means that you care."

Yuki smiled back at Tohru and clasped her hand. He brought the hand up to his lips and lightly pecked the soft skin. Tohru couldn't help but blush due to the action. "Thank you for caring for me. I deeply appreciate it."

"Uh no problem Yuki," she said with a shaky voice. She gulped, her face still red, and decided to ask a question. "What do you think they're talking about at the main house?"

Yuki gently placed Tohru's hand back on the table and decided to grab his chopsticks again and commenced to eating once more. "Probably about the situation between me and Kyo, even though it's a bit too late to talk about anything when the damage has been done."

"You know what Yuki?"

Yuki lifted his head. "What is it?"

"I think that maybe your life won't be so bad after this. I mean, you will still feel some type of lost connection with Kyo, but you will be able to enjoy life rather than dwelling on your past. I really do think that Kyo wants you to be very happy even without him and maybe find another person to be with. I don't think Kyo would want you to be unhappy because you can no longer be with him. He's not that selfish."

They both chuckled a bit and Yuki sighed. "You are a wise girl Ms. Honda." Tohru blushed again. "And I really do thank you for your kindness. I'm lucky to have you during this time. I'm lucky to have the family here with me as well. I know my brother will be here to help me out."

"I'm glad to know that you actually want Ayame to be there for you."

Yuki smiled softly. "Well did begin to grow on me. Just like Kyo. I hated him so much in the past, but it all went away."

"Oh, I've been meaning to ask you, what started you guys relationship together in the first place?"

"Well I expressed my feelings to him when we first went to the garden that day. But I had been having this odd feeling near him a few days before then. It seemed to really come out of nowhere. I can't really pinpoint a specific date or time."

Tohru smiled as she inserted a piece of fish into her mouth. "Love is like that."

"Indeed."

They continued to eat their lunch now in a companionable silence instead of the awkward silence previously.

Haru still had his sickly god in his grasp. Akito stared back him, daring him to do anything further that he would regret even more. Haru's grip tightened a little and now he pinched the skin of her collar bone. Haru eyes glinted in a flash and he lost interest with torturing Akito. He suddenly dropped her and she landed on the floor with a loud thud. Ritsu, Ayame, Shigure, and Hatori went to her side, but she swatted them away fiercely. Ritsu went into a frenzy, saying that everything was his fault and that he was sorry. Shigure slowly calmed the frantic Monkey down after a few minutes. The still black Ox, tilted his neck to the left then the right swiftly, cracking it as he did so. Without a word, he began to walk away. As he did so, Akito got up and spoke.

"Where do you think you're going?!" she screamed in confusion. "Get back here."

Haru simply ignored her as he appeared to walk calmly out of the sliding door, even though inside he was raging. He made his way outside of the main house and walks over to his bike which is near the entrance. He hopped onto his bike and sped off towards Shigure's house.

The Ox gritted his teeth. He was enraged with his God. He simply couldn't believe that she would even think of something so cruel. He knew that she harbored a sick mind, but exiling a person and not even letting that person know was just wicked. He gloved hands began to grip his handlebars roughly as he whipped around a corner in a black and white blur. His two-toned hair swept around in fury as he sped up. He peddled faster, trying to reach the Rat as soon as possible. He wanted to talk to him, see him, interact with him, and ultimately break Akito's new rule.

He soon made it to the secluded house and his bike screeched to a halt. He stumbled off his of bike due to his haste and ran to the front door, pounding it urgently. Again, Tohru greeted him at the door with her usual smile.

"Hello again Haru," she said with a slight chuckle. "Where's Shigure?"

"Don't worry about it. Where's Yuki?"

"Oh, well he's upstairs-"

Before Tohru could finish her sentence, she was pushed aside by the Ox as he ran up the stairs. "Yuki," he called as he slowly walked past a few rooms. His eyes drifted to Yuki's room where he seen the Rat standing by the window. Haru immediately ran into the room and turned the Rat around so he was now facing him.

"What are you doing?"

An evil smirk painted itself on Haru's face and in a flash, he gripped Yuki's gray strands and forced his lips onto his own. Yuki's eyes grew wide at the unexpected action and his body stiffened. Haru ignored all of these side-effects. His left hand went to his waist and began to glide his fingers onto the soft skin underneath Yuki's shirt. Yuki couldn't contain the moan that rose from his throat. His eyes closed and he slowly began to kiss his cousin back. But before he could really begin to enjoy the Ox, Haru stopped and placed his hands back into Yuki's hair. With a stern gaze, he said, "Don't let them hurt you."

"Who," Yuki asked with little breathe.

"Them!" Haru didn't really want to tell Yuki of Akito's orders to exile him. He'd rather not be the bearer of bad news. Instead, he lowered his lips back onto Yuki's, but Yuki pushed away.

"Wait, you just changed back."

"So I did."

"What made you go black in the first place?"

"Them."

Yuki sighed, knowing that he wasn't going to get an answer from the stubborn Ox. "Then what was the kiss for?"

Haru pouted playfully as he puckered his lips. "It's because I love you so much." Yuki smiled softly at his cousin. He commenced to walk over to his bed when Haru gripped his arms tightly and forced him back to the window. "I'm not done with you yet."

Haru kissed him again and this time, Yuki kissed back. His gentle hands met Haru's contrasting hair and held it loosely. Haru held Yuki's waist and pulled him close, their pelvises now meeting through the layers of fabric. Yuki instinctively rocked his pelvis forward and suddenly began to imagine his size, just as he had done with Kyo. He moaned into Haru's mouth and Haru happily allowed it to enter. Haru reached up and under Yuki's shirt, relishing in the pale skin of the Rat. His thumbs flicked at the others nipples, allowing another moan to pass through. He pinched slightly and watched as Yuki's breathe hitched. Haru pushed Yuki's shirt over his head and dropped it on the bed, revealing his bare chest. Yuki suddenly became curious, maybe curious to see how Haru's body compared to Kyo's, and frantically pulled Haru's shirt off. He observed the skin before him and quickly licked up from Haru's collar bone to his right earlobe. Haru groaned in pure bliss and pulled Yuki's head up into another kiss. Their tongues delved into each others mouth, beginning to memorize and explore every inch they could reach.

Haru held Yuki tightly as he laid him down on the floor. His lips went to his neck and tweaked his nipple simultaneously. The two doses of pleasure sent Yuki thrusting his hips into the younger boy.

In his blissful daze, he couldn't help imaging the time where Kyo discovered his hot spot. It was instant electric. The way Kyo gently lapped at his neck like the cat he was and bit on it roughly at times. Everything about his technique could easily send Yuki over the edge. How he missed it so. He missed all the things Kyo was able to do to his body. But now, he kind of had a replacement. It wasn't entirely equivalent, but it was close enough. So he channeled all of his harboring feelings for Kyo and replaced them with Haru for the moment.

Haru had long left Yuki's neck and was concentrating on unbuttoning Yuki's pants. Yuki quickly had a flashback and remembered how Kyo had to wait to be inside him. He used all of his will to just push the memory into the farthest part of his brain. Yuki was now completely naked, every inch of his subtle skin revealed, and was watching as Haru began to unbutton his own pants. The black leather was tossed to the side along with a pair of oddly adorable cow print boxers. Yuki couldn't help, but laugh. "Where did you find those things?"

"At a little unknown shop." Yuki giggled lightly and Haru smiled. "Stop laughing at my boxers," he said as he lowered his head down closer to Yuki's. "They're my favorite."

And at that last comment, they were kissing again, and were now able to truly feel each others manhood. Yuki's member twitched at the sensation of the hard bare length of Haru and sucked through clenched teeth. Haru trailed kisses from Yuki's lips to his ear.

"Do you want it," he whispered in Yuki's ear as he held his length in his hand, ready to penetrate the Rat.

"Yes," Yuki moaned out and the reply was just too much for Haru for he rammed into Yuki with all he had. The Rat screeched due to the sheer force of the thrust and the slight pain of dryness and being stretched again. He quickly clasped Haru's left hand as he went to the left of Yuki's neck and began to suck on it gently to soothe him of the pain. The pain subsided after a while and after reading the change of expression on Yuki's face, he slowly began to rock in and out of the older boy beneath him.

The rough friction between them lessened due to Haru's precum and so the experience became more enjoyable. Yuki wrapped his lithe legs around Haru's waist and coaxed him to come in deeper than he already was. Haru released Yuki's hand and propped himself up, knowing that the extreme pleasure would surely make him collapse. He never experienced anything like this ever before and would never have thought that sex with his cousin would feel so good. He bit his bottom lip as he thrusted forward and made Yuki's body bounce slightly. Yuki instinctively clutched Haru's length and made Haru gasp.

"Damn Yuki...." He bowed his head and began to suck on Yuki's neck, thus initiating Yuki to grasp his soft black and white hair tightly and moan audibly. He left his neck littered with light bruises as he looked down at the Rat's twisted face. He panted and smiled weakly before their lips met in another embrace. They kissed for what seemed like forever, but suddenly Yuki's breathe hitched again at the sudden force on his prostate. He tossed his head back into the floor and exhaled heavily.

"Please do that again."

"Do... what?"

"Just go deep."

Haru tried to do as he was told, but he failed several times. He really didn't know where to exactly thrust, so he only succeeded in accidental hits at Yuki's hot spot. But due to the untimeliness of his actions, it gave Yuki a surprise surge of ecstasy that couldn't be avoided.

Yuki wrapped his arms around Haru's neck and pulled his body closer to him. Their sweaty skin met and the heat between their bodies increased. Both of them began to pant, the two of their climaxes rising rapidly. Haru kissed Yuki's ear twice before he panted in his ear heavily and oddly, it gave Yuki intense pleasure. Yuki turned his head to the left and abruptly his eyes caught sight of the black cat. He gulped hard as the cat seemed to grow angrier. But instead of attacking the two, he scurried away back downstairs with Tohru.

Purple eyes met the ceiling as he soon felt like he was betraying Kyo, like it was just too soon to be doing things like this. A pang of guilt attacked him and he wanted to leave Haru's embrace, but he just couldn't break away. The long lost feeling of being this intimate without any looming threats above their heads felt good and he missed those days when he and Kyo were oblivious to being the Forbidden. He needed this sort of. He needed to feel this intimacy, to feel anything. And so he raked his fingernails into Haru's back as climaxed, a scream reverberating throughout the room as he came onto his chest. Yuki spasmed underneath the Ox and he too followed suit by coming inside of the Rat with a low grumble of his name.

He could no longer hold his weight and collasped onto Yuki. They both began to breath irratically and they soon tried to regulate their breathing. Haru eyes fluttered open and he turned his gray eyes to look at the violet eyes that were glazed over with the aftermath of their actions. Haru got a good look at the boy, before he quickly got off of him and escaping Yuki's tight entrance.

"I'm sorry."

Yuki propped himself up on his forearms and looked at the Ox in confusion. "Sorry about what?"

"For using you. I shouldn't have taken advantage of you like that."

"You didn't use me or take advantage of me. What are you talking about?"

"I did take advantage of you!! I know you're not over Kyo and used those feelings to manipulate you and I'm sorry." Haru stood up and went to put underwear and pants back on. Yuki could only think of how in fact he used Haru instead of the other way around. "I have to go."

"Go where?"

"Away from you." He tossed Yuki's clothes onto his dirty chest. "Get dressed." Haru left the Yuki's room half-clothed to go to the bathroom and clean up. Yuki sat up and slumped over slightly. He felt hollow for some reason. He didn't feel as though his attempt to feel any type of deep connection worked at all. He lacked the feeling of fulfillment that he used to feel when he and Kyo came together.

He sighed heavily as he ran his fingers through his hair. His eyes caught sight of Haru walking back into the room and he turned his head away, feeling ashamed. Haru squatted down beside the naked youth and glided his fingers through his hair. "Was it that bad?"

"Huh?"

"Was it bad?"

Yuki blushed slightly at the random question as his eyebrow quirked. "Why do you ask?"

"My first time."

"With a guy?"

"No. Just my first time."

"I thought you and Rin had-"

"Nope. It got close to that point, but it never happened."

"Oh..."

Haru rose onto his feet, picked up his shirt, and tossed it on. Without another word to Yuki, he walked out of the room silently. Yuki sighed again before crawling over to his small heap of clothes and reclothing himself. He trudged his way out of his room and walked downstairs to see Shigure silently sitting at his chair and Tohru just walking in. "Where did you go Ms. Honda?"

"Oh, well..." she sighed, "I know it's a bit much, but I paid for Kyo's funeral."

Both of the males gasped, but only one spoke up. "You didn't have to do that Ms. Honda."

"I did have to Yuki. I felt that I needed to. And I didn't want him to lie in his room forever, so I had to."

Yuki smiled softly before placing an innocent kiss on Tohru's head. "Thank you," he said as a lone tear dripped from his eye. "This means a lot to me."
