Yay! I'm to the fifth chapter. I never actually expected to do much work on
this. Oh, and I apologize about the extremely short chapters, so to make up
I will try to make this one at least a 1000 words. And I apologize for what
your about to read. If I did it right, some of you will be thoroughly
frustrated. But PLEASE hang in there, it'll get better. Ok, enough talking,
on with the fic!
Chapter 5
Kyou stood at the doors of the Sohma estate with Yuki in his arms. Even thought he knew that Yuki needed immediate attention, he couldn't help but hesitate before opening the door. Kyou DID NOT like it here. Because his animal wasn't included in the Chinese Zodiac, the other non-zodiac members of the family treated him differently. It was almost like he had to walk on eggshells around them, for screwing up here meant months of rumors and suspicions. Then Kyou heard a sound and looked down.
There lay Yuki, in his arms, the way he had always wanted.
"No," He thought "Not the way I wanted. I was hoping Yuki would be awake and that we'd be somewhere, anywhere but here. Please hold on Yuki!"
On the way to the estate, Yuki had started wheezing, and his breath was coming out in short puffs. "No more hesitating Kyou" He thought out loud. "Yuki needs your help." Kyou kicked the enormous brown doors open and ran into the courtyard.
"Hatori-san!" Kyou could be heard throughout the Sohma estate. Akito poked his head out of the window and watched silently.
"HATORI-SAN! Come quick, please come quick, Yuki's sick, there's something wrong with him!"
"What is it Kyou-kun?" Kyou turned and saw Hatori walking up to them quickly, worry etched in his face.
"I don't know Hatori-san. We where walking home from town and Yuki just suddenly collapsed. So I brought him here."
Hatori eyed him for a moment, then said "Come with me" And began walking to his house.
Kyou picked up the unconscious Yuki and followed Hatori. Truthfully, Kyou had never been too fond of Hatori, for the man never seemed to like him either.
"Oh man," He moaned inwardly, "He probably thinks I did something to Yuki, and when it got bad I just brought him over."
"Hatori-san, I-"
"Put him here on the bed." Hatori instructed.
"Ok fine." Kyou gently laid Yuki on the bed. Looking at Yuki, Kyou felt awful. Yuki looked so sick. "Please Hatori-san, please take care of him."
Hatori looked up for a moment. Why all of a sudden, was Kyou so concerned about his rival? But the gentleness in his words touched a part of Hatori that he hadn't felt since he's been with Sana.
Hatori smiled. "Ill take care of him Kyou-kun, and I'll call you when I'm done"
Kyou nodded silently and left the room.
Down the hallway to the left Kyou found a small waiting room. Inside was a phone, a couple of magazines, some cookies, and a small lumpy couch. Kyou sat down on the couch. Then he thought for a second and walked over to the cookies. He grabbed one and sat back down.
"Ok, now what?" he murmured aloud "I guess I should call Shigure, and probably Tohru. She'll want to know what's going on."
First he dialed Shigure
"Hello, Sohma residence, this is Shigure speaking."
"Shigure-san, its Kyou."
"Kyou-kun darling! Where are you, and where are my packages?"
'The clothes!' Kyou thought 'Shit!'
"Kyou-kun, why aren't you answering me?"
"Shigure-san, I dropped your packages on the street. But that's not important, because-"
"(Gasp) Oh no! Why'd you leave them! My poor Kimonos! If it's because of that story, then you should know that Chicky waa waa-
"Shut up old man! This isn't about the doll! On the way home from the store, Yuki suddenly got really sick and collapsed. So I had to drop the clothes and carry him to the Sohma estate, which is where I am now."
"(Long pause.) Is he alright? What's wrong with him?"
"I- I don't know. Hatori's with him now." Kyou gulped as a lump formed in his throat.
"Oh Kyou-kun, I'm so sorry. Please stay with Yuki-kun, he needs you now more than ever."
"Shigure-san, what the hell-"
Click.
Kyou slid the phone back into its cradle and looked at it thoughtfully. "What was he talking about?" Kyou wondered. "Does he know?"
He sat there for a second, knowing who he should call now but hesitating all the same. What if she got so worried that she decided to come home?
He almost didn't call, but in the end guilt for Tohru won so with a sigh he picked up the phone and dialed Tohru's aunt's house.
Ring Ring Ring.
Ring Ring Ring.
"Hello, Usami residence."
"H-hello. Is T-Tohru there?"
"Yes, please hold."
Kyou stood with his back against the wall and waited nervously, wondering how Tohru would react. After a moment Tohru picked up the phone "Hello, Tohru speaking."
A long silence filled the phone. "Hello? Hello?
"Tohru, its Kyou."
"Kyou-kun!" She sounded so happy that he almost felt guilty for his thought about Yuki. Oh my goodness, how are you? It's been a month since we've spoken! How's everyone doing? And how's Yuki-chan?"
"I'm fine, and so is Shigure-san, b-but Yuki-kun-"
"Yuki-chan?" Her voice became panicky. "What's wrong with him? Is he hurt?"
"Tohru, Yuki-kun and I where walking home from the store, and he suddenly collapsed. I had to bring him to Sohma estate to be checked out. He's with Hatori now."
Silence.
"Tohru-kun?"
"Oh Kyou-kun!" Tohru sobbed. "Yuki-chan! My poor Yuki-chan! He's sick! Should I come out there?"
"No!" Kyou said quickly. "No. When he feels better, you can talk to him, but seeing him now would do no good. I'll call you later when you can speak to him. Ok, gotta go, bye Tohru-kun!" He hung up quickly before she could say anything else. His heart was pounding at the idea of Tohru coming back, because he knew that if she returned now, then there would be no hope for Yuki and him to ever get together.
"Please" he begged silently. "Let her stay away." He slid down the wall, put his head between his legs, and sobbed quietly.
..........................................................
"To put it simply, Yuki-kun has suffered from a severe heart attack. Its obvious from this sudden flare-up up that Yuki-kun has been feeling ill for quite some time now. If he had arrived earlier, then none of this would have happened." Hatori cleared his throat and stared at Kyou, eyes showing nothing.
"A- a heart attack?" Kyou said uneasily. "When will he be better? When can he leave?"
"Well, he's breathing better now, and we are able to take him off the ventilator. But just to be safe, he'll have to stay here for at least a week. I hope you realize that this attack was very serious and if you had not gotten him here so efficiently, then I'm not sure he'd be alive now."
Kyou stood up and looked Hatori in the eye. "Then I'm staying as long as he is. I won't be any trouble; I can sleep in this room if you want me to." He looked at Hatori defiantly, as if daring him to object.
But surprisingly, all Hatori said was, "That will be fine."
Kyou nodded mutely, and then asked "Can I see him now?"
Hatori nodded. "Sure."
Kyou screwed up his courage and walked toward the room. He could feel himself shaking, but he knew he had to be strong for Yuki. As he came to the doorway, he saw Yuki sitting up in his bed, staring out the window at the beautiful lake that lay before him. As Yuki looked up, his tortured expression softened.
Shaking with emotion, Kyou walked toward him and stopped before his bed. He dropped to his knees, grabbed Yuki's hands and kissed them. Wordlessly Yuki reached out to cradle Kyou's cheek in his palm. Softly, gently, Kyou laid his head in Yuki's lap and wept.
Yuki smiled and let the boy cry. Then he took finger and lifted Kyou's face. "Come now, those tears aren't for me, are they?"
Kyou gulped and wiped away the tears. Then he stood up. "Don't ever do that again, you stupid Nezumi! You don't know how worried I was about you!"
Yuki quickly stopped smiling, feeling guilty. "I am very sorry Kyou-kun. I should have told all of you that I wasn't feeling well. But you know how much I hate this place."
Kyou looked at the Yuki, and felt his anticipation now, more than ever. Suddenly, he couldn't fight it anymore, didn't want to. He lunged at Yuki and stopped an inch away. Even if he wanted this so bad, he needed to know what the Nezumi was feeling.
Yuki looked up in shock, then felt urges within him, urges that wouldn't allow Kyou to stop. His breathing quickened and he leaned forward and kissed Kyou on the lips. He could see from Kyou's expression that this was what he was looking for. Kyou lowered his lips to Yuki's face and brushed them lightly. He felt the boy beneath him get hard with anticipation. Kyou began to unbutton Yuki's shirt while sucking on the boys' neck. Yuki moaned appreciatively, and Kyou finished unbuttoning his shirt and tantalizingly licked the boys' nipples. And then-
"So, Kyou-kun, Yuki-kun, having fun, aren't we?"
Both boys stopped moving and looked up at the doorway. Someone was standing in the doorway, a slight smirk on their face.
Both boys said one word together.
"Akito-san!"
"Yes." Akito said slowly. "And I'm sorry to ruin the fun, but I need to see Kyou-kun in my room, NOW. That is all." He turned and quietly left the room.
Alone, the boys looked at each other, wondering what Akito would have to say about this.
Tbc.
HA ha ha! That's evil gravigurl! Sorry I stopped it there, don't hate me now, I'll post next chapter soon. U_U. (Feels hated). Oh well.
P.S. For those of you who didn't know, this is definite AU. And the san, Chan, and Kun at the end of the names are name suffixes. San, like Shigure- san is like the same as 'sir' or 'ma'am', Kun, like Tohru-kun, means a peer or lower in status. And Chan, like Yuki-Chan, means something affectionate. The way people use them are very important.
