Disclaimer: Back on the first chapter because I'm too lazy and can't be bothered to write it again each chapter.

Ugh… I'd like to excuse this wait for an update, because of schoolwork. Yes, I had truckloads of homework, reports, and essays to finish over break, and then, after getting back, I've had the hellish week full of homework before finals. My school is just positively marvelous, isn't it? Yeah, so anyways, I haven't been able to write much and now that finals have come upon me, I probably will have less time to write. But there are always weekends, so if I can write, the day I post it would most likely be Sunday.

And about that issue of posting regularly each week. Reviews and comments make me feel loved and encouraged. The more encouraged I am, the more I write. Is it all clicking for you now? Send in suggestions, comments, whatever. The more I hear from you guys, the more I'm motivated to write and hence forth, the more regular the updates will be rather than the erratic postings they've been at.

Oh, and please excuse any grammar or spelling mistakes in my writing. I don't have a beta reader, so these updates are being posted without any proper checking.

And now I would like to go on ahead and thank all of you lovely people that have reviewed. You make me feel so loved and encouraged. I love you all!

Emiko-san: Ah, the thought of Kyou and Yuki transforming back to their human forms, naked and sweaty from fighting, right on top of each other is a very delectable little mental image, isn't it? And the two boys will only be getting naughtier by the chapter, or will be trying to at least. But you never know when distractions might hit, ne?

Rinoa: Ah, sorry to bring about your hatred for lunchtime, but hopefully this chapter will make up for it.

Kumagorou: I'm glad you think my writing is hilarious. I've never really tried humor before, so I'm hoping that I'm doing alright. And lunchtime will definitely be most interesting.

Asidian: I'm glad the description is to your standards, and yes, the whole point of the fic is to drive those two boys to the brink of insanity with sexual frustration. Yes I know, I'm evil.

Koneko: More writing? Will do, or try to at least at a regular pace.

GreenLady: If I told you how many times they were going to be interrupted, then where would the suspense be? And the suspense is half the fun. Ah, it's so much fun to torture those boys.

Foxy Vixen Shieko: I'm flattered that you think I write well.

mizuko: Sorry it wasn't soon, but the newest chapter is here.

Fem Scorpio: Me is glad that you like my story!

Autumn: Heh, I'm trying to get them back together as soon as possible, because watching them is always entertaining.

Well anyways, since all that bunch of nonsense has finally been said, onto the newest chapter!

Are We Alone Yet?
Part Three: Interesting Revelations.

            Touru waited at the base of the stairs, soup ladle held loosely in one hand, other hand firmly planted on a protruding hip. Her eyes watched as the beautiful boy slowly descended the stairs, watching as his slender body moved with liquid grace, lanky limbs sliding fluidly down each step at a leisurely pace. Scrutinizing orbs followed the length of his body, unknowingly to their owner, inspecting the lithe form. Blushing slightly at what she had just done, Touru was about to avert her eyes, just when she looked up at the flushed face… Hold on, flushed? Looking back up again, she saw that there was a noticeable blush dusting over the pale complexion, highlighting high cheekbones. He was… blushing? Somewhat perplexed, she lowered her head and avoided the mesmerizing gaze, stepping aside to allow the heavenly being to pass her by. Daringly, she raised her voice, and hoped that it didn't sound too nervous, but she couldn't help it. The boy was just so attractive.

            "Konnichiwa, Yuki-kun."

            A pause. "Konnichiwa, Touru-chan."

            And without delay, he continued forward, never having once looked back at her, a warm smile on those full lips. Somewhat hurt, Touru lowered her gaze again, staring intently at the spot on the floor that seemed incredibly interesting at the moment. He was oddly cold to her today. Earlier, at breakfast, he was his normal self, smiling sweetly and conversing softly with her like always. What had triggered this new change in his personality? And why was he blushing? Questions floated around her mind, all centered around Yuki, the object of her affection, though futile as it was. Eventually, she gave up on trying to figure out the change in persona and the peculiar glow painting his light skin. Shaking her head and turning around, she took a deep breath and belted in a cheery voice, the opposite from what she was feeling at the moment, upstairs to the final member of the household.

            "Kyou, if you don't come down soon, I'll put some leeks in the soup!"

            Satisfied with knowing that that comment would get the temperamental boy down to lunch, she pivoted on her heel and walked down the hallway leading into the dining room. Mentally, she told herself to just forget about what was wrong with Yuki, and just concentrate on being her normal, happy self. If she were acting strangely, she would surely be subject to many questions. So, putting on her innocent smile, she entered the room and beamed jovially to the two people already seated at the table.

*~*~*~*~*

            Pulling a shirt on, Kyou kicked open the door with his foot, struggling with the uncooperative article of clothing still entangled around his head. With a frustrated growl, he finally got the shirt over his head and proceeded to pull it the rest of the way down his torso. Walking along the hall to the stairs, his hands busied themselves with attempting to force his tousled hair down to his head in a somewhat presentable state, but the task seemed to be futile. About as futile as taming his raging hormones… Kuso!

            Literally growling, the boy stalked down the stairs, body stiff and breathing harsh. The straining pressure in his lower body was almost unbearable, but it wasn't exactly like he had the time to run off to the shower and take care of it. Though, more preferable methods could come to mind involving his drop-dead gorgeous cousin… Ack! Mentally berating himself for letting his mind to wander along that train of thoughts again, and inevitably causing the almost painful strain to worsen, he stopped and attempted to take a calming breath. Hands fisting in effort to control his breathing, he willed the heat in his face to diminished, but just as all other things that he had tried that morning, it proved to be unsuccessful. Closing his eyes and attempting to collect himself, he bit his tongue and proceeded towards the dining room in a calmer pace, though his movements were still rigid and betrayed his present condition. Preparing himself for the curious stares he would receive from the other two members of the house, he pushed open the door to the dining room. Never in his life had he hated lunch so much…

*~*~*~*~*

            Shigure watched with unmasked amusement as Kyou stormed into the dining room, his attempt at hiding whatever was bothering him failing spectacularly. Watching as he fell ungracefully into his seat opposite of the silver-haired beauty, Shigure noticed the slight flush on his cheeks also, but much less perceptible than that of Yuki's, his tanned complexion hiding it better than the pale pallor of his cousin's. Hn… they were both looking flushed. It was a common occurrence seeing both of the boys appear after a fight looking hot and bothered. Though Yuki hid it much better than Kyou, they were both in a similar state of irritation. But something looked different today…

            Narrowing his eyes slightly, he allowed them to rove over Kyou's form, taking in his appearance and mentally going through a checklist. Mussed hair due to sleep, normal. Untidy state of dress, common after just waking up. Flushed face and harsh breathing from implied fighting, somewhat ordinary. Suspicious fidgeting--Wait a minute. Focusing his gaze on Kyou, he watched as the boy shifted on his seat peculiarly, biting his lip uncomfortably. Quirking an eyebrow, he looked at the boy oddly before transferring his stare over to his other charge. His eyes widened as he saw Yuki move inconspicuously on his chair also. What was going o-- Then it struck him.

            He had to bite his lips to the point where he was bleeding to keep from grinning, and his sides felt like splitting open from the force he was using to keep his laughter in check. Oh Kami-sama… He couldn't believe the product of things. Kyou and Yuki… So those fights weren't always what they appeared to be. Faintly, he registered the odd stares he was receiving from the three other members sitting at the table, but he would be hard pressed to give a care right now. Oh, Aya-kun would have a crack up at this new development. In a mental note, he reminded himself to go call up his high school lover to inform him that his little brother had followed in his footsteps.

            So, cheerfully disregarding the odd stares he was receiving, he proceeded to start on his food, tactfully ignoring the two boys' nervous glances. Oh the fun he would have teasing them later... And that confused look on Touru's face was priceless. Honto, life was exceedingly grand for him. With that happy note in mind, he sipped the soup carefully, eyes still twinkling with barely contained mirth. What a way to start the day.

~TBC~

Yes, I realize that there was no hot boy action in this chapter, but do not fret! It will make itself known next chapter. And sorry if it was somewhat short, but my muses are going on strike. I noticed that this chapter lacks plot and yaoi goodness, but it's supposed to get the plot (Plot? There's actually a plot to this?) rolling along, so bear with me. I'll try to get the next chapter up by next Monday, so send me ideas and comments on what you would like to see in this fic so I can incorporate them in if they are to my liking. Until next chapter, ja ne.
