I'm so sorry people! I've been very busy lately and had lack of computer time so I couldn't write anything… but i'm going to try to get back in the habit of doing these stories and hopefully finishing this one up.

I'm also sorry about my other stories.

And I apologize for the last 2 "chapters" for those who aren't concerned. But don't worry, for I made it so no anonymous readers can submit reviews.

Ok, let's begin…

SICK OF SECRETS- ch. 21 (technically 19 but noooo!)

KYO

"Oh my god! Not in my house!" Ritsu screamed.

I actually kissed the stupid rat. I can feel him squirming within my embrace. I don't want to let him go. I don't want him to think of himself as boring. And then I heard him let out a tiny moan.

"Let go!" Yuki pushed me to the floor. Then he ran out of the house. I looked at Ritsu who looked as if he'd seen a ghost. Then at Haru who seemed to be enjoying himself… or my embarrassing rejection.

You say you wander your own land
But when I think about it
I don't see how you can
You're aching, you're breaking
And I can see the pain in your eyes
Says everybody's changing
And I don't know why

I jumped up and ran after Yuki. "Yuki!" I screamed as I saw him running very fastly paced in the direction from which we came from before. I tried to catch up but he was always faster than me. I thought of giving up, letting him get some time to himself, but then he fell to his knees. I ran up to him. "Are you hurt?" I asked.

"Fuck off." He whispered. His face was hidden under his hair.

"…I… um… what happened back there…" I tried to make sense of the situation without scaring him.

"Just shut up. Don't worry, I get it." He said.

"Huh?"

"Its always going to be you and Haru, isn't it?" he said looking up at me with frantic eyes.

"What are you talking about! That's sick! Like anyone'd want to be with Haru…" what I said was mean, but he had to know that me and Haru were nothing you'd call a couple.

"Then why are you two so close! It makes no sense! You two were always fighting before all this…"

I looked down at him for a minute, trying to understand him, his words.

"Yuki… are you… jealous?"

"… What if I was?" he mumbled.

"pfft! Hahaha!" I bellowed, "hahahahahaha!"

"Why are you laughing?" Yuki growled.

"'Cause your so stupid!" I laughed. "Jealous of what? Me and that question mark!" Yuki stepped up on his feet and looked down.

"But… why are you so close?"

"I don't know… I guess we just started hanging out more without realizing it. And don't give me that crap!"

"What crap?"

"A while ago! That night when he slept over! Just what were you two doing in your room!"

"Nothing! That's gross, he's Haru!" Yuki yelled. I smirked, because I believed him. I knew now that there was never anything going on between him and Haru. Back then I was just desperate for an answer.

"Then… I guess you can just say we're even…" I said. Yuki gave me a weird look, blushed, and then walked away.

So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same

I walked back to Ritsu's place. I hope Haru hadn't drank himself drunk. But at least I think everything's gonna be okay between me and Yuki now… no, wait, I forgot for a sec that I kissed him! Shit, now it's gonna be more awkward.

I went inside; door still opened from when I ran out, and found Haru head first in a couch pillow. "Haru! What's wrong?" I went over to him and shook him. He sniffed and looked up. He had been crying.

"Why are you crying?"

"Because… you! You, you… BINGHOLE!"

"'binghole'?" I questioned.

"Yea! What's your problem anyway!" he yelled.

"What problem? You're the one with issues." He sat up straight like he had never been crying and looked at me inquisitively.

"Did you do it? Did you confess your love?"

"To Yuki! Hell no!" I shouted.

"Psh… you should have. So we can finally end this ordeal."

"What does THAT mean?" I asked.

"Please, Kyo… we all know how much you love Yuki."

"No I don't…"

"Shut up already." Haru seemed pissed at something. He got up and left.

"Um… I guess… party's over?" Ritsu said. I growled and slammed the door behind me as I left.

You're gone from here
And soon you will disappear
Fading into beautiful light
Cause everybody's changing
And I don't feel right

After that whole scenario things changed a little. Haru hasn't been bugging me to hang out with him anymore, and Yuki… well… he tried to stay as much away from me as possible. I don't blame him, there's a right for there to be an awkward wall between us right now, after I kissed him.

"Hey Kyo…" Shigure said one night when I was in the kitchen getting a mid-night snack.

"What do you want?"

"Where's Haru? Did you tell him off?" he smirked.

"Shut up. It's not like we were ever friends anyway."

"I suppose not. How is Haru anyway? I haven't really seen him since you-know-what."

"What?" is there something Shigure knows about me and Haru? Did Yuki actually tell him about that time when we were drunk?

"Ya know… the break-up" he said biting into an apple.

"Break-up?" I asked.

So little time

"He didn't tell you? About him and Rin?"

"Rin? You mean… they were dating or something?"

"Uh-huh… a while ago, i'm surprised you just found out, they were secretly dating, but somehow Akito found out. Now they're history." He said in an astute tone.

"How long were they going out?"

"Who knows? A long time by the looks of it."

'Have you ever been in love?'

Come to think of it. Haru's been a bit weird to me when we were hanging out. He'd ask the weirdest questions…

"Well, they're still friends, right?" Like I really cared, but I was just curious.

"I hope so. But Rin's been in the hospital ever since." The hospital? Oh, that's right, Rin does have a habit of falling deathly sick now and then.

"What is it? Another stomach ache?"

"Kyo… Rin was beaten…" I stood there, shocked. Beaten…?

"Akito, I'm guessing." I sighed.

"Actually no… it was Haru."
