Kyo locked the door. He would find revenge... REVENGE! No one made Onime no Kyo make I'm Sorry cards that looked like valentines (because, in fact, that was at Yuya's stern command that so much fluff and glitter had been glued onto the card)!

He could not speak to Yuya, but that would be how he acted any other day. He could... Oh. That was perfect. He unearthed a roll of duct tape from the mass of stuff littering his floor, opened his closet door, and got to work.

Early the next morning, seeing as break was over and Yuya needed to go back to school, she woke up as her alarm started going off, snoozed it, and yawned. She stretched and headed off to the shower, seeing as she hadn't had time to take one the night before. She would have to hurry because likely Sasuke would want one too. 15 minutes later, she ran across the hall in her towel into her room and soundlessly shut the door.

Kyo, being what he is, heard her run across the hall and shut her door. He lay awake in his dark room, listening. That rustling sound would be Yuya finishing drying off. That thump would be her tossing the towel on the back of her chair to dry. Normally he would give her his "good morning grope" here, but if he didn't, she wouldn't question it due to last night's events. Now he heard her walking to the closet door. The door knob rattled. And rattled. And rattled some more.

He braced his sensitive ears for what he knew was coming next: something that would wake the entire household. Right on cue, a high-pitched scream shattered the early morning silence like dropping fine china on a concrete floor. "KYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"

He remained silent. He could hear her violently trying again to open her closet door to no avail. She was just no match fore an entire roll of duct tape keeping the door shut. He grinned, the first rays of light of dawn glinting off his teeth in a decidedly evil fashion. That fwoosh sound was Yuya wrapping the towel back around her, and then her door opened, and she stomped the few steps to Kyo's door. He heard Tora's sleepy, "Wash goin' on?" and could almost hear Yukimura and Sasuke give a quizzical "...?" in unison. She pounded on his door furiously.

"KYOO! OPEN THIS DOOR RIGHT NOW!" He ignored her. Served her right. "Kyo, I swear if you don't come out here RIGHT NOW, I will break your door down- do you hear me!?" He sighed and got up. He opened the door wide. "..." Yuya went red as she shrieked, "Kyooo! Put some pants on first!" He looked at her, holding back his characteristic grin when he was teasing her. "You wanted me to open the door right now, didn't you? I didn't have time to get dressed."

Her face was almost purple. "I HATE YOU!" and with that, she stormed back into her room. The door slammed shut behind her. A dish downstairs fell off the counter and shattered. He looked out into the hall at the three faces staring at him. He raised an eyebrow and stared at Tora until he squeaked and hurried back into his room. He glared indifferently at Yukimura and Sasuke before turning around and going back into his room. Revenge was a sweet, sweet thing.

Later that day, after Mahiro had come over to loan her uniform to Yuya (Mahiro graduated with everyone else last year), Yuya motioned to Yukimura to follow her out the door. "Yukimura," she whispered, "you want revenge on Kyo for beating you to a bloody mess?" He nodded. "Well," she continued, "I have a plan that only you and Sasuke can carry out..." His face lit up. "I'm in!" he eagerly whispered. Yuya went on, "I drugged the sake in the kitchen. As long as you stay out of it, Kyo will drink it and go to his room, where he will pass out due to the drugs. He will lock himself in. You remember that briefcase on his floor?" Yukimura nodded. "Good. Now, what I want you to do is..."

--------

It was around noon. Sasuke had stayed home with a mild fever, so Yukimura claimed, and Kyo was in no mood to socialize with them. He pulled a bottle of sake out of the kitchen cupboard, noticing that Yukimura had left the trap door open to the basement. He glared at the door and it shut, quivering. He was in a particularly foul mood, for no particular reason. He was Kyo. He didn't need a reason. He opened the sake bottle and took a long swig of it, not noticing it tasted slightly different. He yawned and decided that more sake would wake him up. He drained the bottle. He felt so sleepy suddenly. A nap couldn't hurt anything, so he dragged himself up the stairs to his room and flopped on his bed, where he immediately lost consciousness.

Yukimura heard Kyo's door shut from his position in a tunnel behind the wall. He looked to Sasuke. "You ready?" Sasuke nodded, eager to get his revenge on Kyo. They followed the tunnel down a bit in a path towards Kyo's room. He pointed to a square on the ceiling on the tunnel. Sasuke nodded again, and climbed the ladder on the wall up to the square. He paused and listened for Kyo, and started fiddling with latches when he heard snoring. The square opened into Kyo's room. He and Yukimura emerged from the briefcase positioned at the foot of Kyo's bed. His room was darkened due to his blinds being closed and a blanket stapled over the window. Their eyes adjusted to the gloom and they took in their surroundings. Beer can tower, computer, Saran wrap boxes, rolls of duct tape, other suspicious boxes marked TROJAN, clothes, and, of course, Kyo, half off his bed, drooling and snoring loudly. Yukimura handed Sasuke one of the rolls of duct tape, and Sasuke nodded a final time. He knew what to do, and he would do his job well.

Meanwhile, Yukimura tiptoed carefully over the cluttered floor to the closet, where he utilized a bottle of Goo-Gone on the mess over Yuya's door.

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

Kyo opened his eyes slowly. He didn't know how long he had been asleep, but his whole body felt heavy and stiff. He tried to move his legs, and realized... He COULDN'T move his legs. Or his arms for that matter. He tried to look around, just barely able to move his head. His eyes adjusted to the darkness of his room and stared down at his floor. Puzzled, he looked at his body. He realized in horror that he had been wrapped in duct tape from neck to toe, and taped to his ceiling.

Kyo's loud and agitated "...!" shook the house. Yukimura and Sasuke reported to Yuya, who nodded approvingly at them. Revenge was a sweet, sweet thing.
