To Belong - Ch 6
During the following week, Yuki's physical condition improved a great deal. Hatori came each day to check on him and finally announced him fit to move around.
"Akito talked to me about wanting you to move to the main house," Hatori said as he re-arranged his bag. He could feel Yuki's drilling gaze burning against his back.
"I told him your injury won't allow you to move for a while. But he's only willing to wait for another week."
Yuki went pale.
"I know it sounds bad but I really think it best for the time being," The Sohma's doctor lighting a cigarette said evenly.
"How could it be?" Yuki demanded bitterly.
Hatori eyed him with a steady gaze. "You'd be with all of us and that would be safer for you."
Yuki said nothing not because he agreed with what the older Sohma'd said but only because he believed there was nothing he could do or say to alter the plan Akito had drawn for him.
The following week marked the beginning of school and the end of a short lived holiday. Both Yuki and Kyo attended school but each one of them was avoiding the other at all times.
Kyo learned about Yuki's moving to the main house next week but hardly cared. Now that he'd been seeing less and almost none of that damn rat, his life, Kyo decided, became much better.
On the third day of school classes ended early. Kyo grabbed his bag and headed to Hatori's clinic, his new home. Head down, he walked rather slowly deliberately choosing the long way to the clinic.
"Hi Kyo."
Kyo snapped his head up. Yuki was leaning against a tree regarding him with a cold stare.
"You don't look bad."
Kyo swallowed his surprise fast. "Well you don't look bad either."
Yuki smiled slightly.
"Well, what did you want?"
"To talk," Yuki confessed, straightening up.
"I'm listening," Kyo said impatiently.
"Not here. Let's go somewhere where no one could bother us." And without waiting for Kyo's answer he turned and lead the way.
Kyo was about to protest but sighed and followed him instead.
After awhile Yuki stopped. "I think this place is right."
"Well?" Kyo demanded.
"I guess you know everything now," Yuki spoke with his back to his cousin.
"Yeah. Hatori told me."
"You must hate me more than ever now."
Kyo was confused. "I don't think so."
Yuki turned to eye him with surprise.
"I mean I already hated you so much and no matter what, that's not going to change."
Yuki shook his head. "You've been right all along."
"What do you mean," Kyo said carefully.
"You were right about me."
For one short moment Kyo felt a desire to comfort the other boy and sooth him but he quickly put that feeling aside surprised with himself for even having thought about such a thing..
"Well I guess we should finish this quickly," With that Yuki produced something wrapped with a cloth from his bag and handed it to Kyo.
Kyo took it after a slight hesitation. He didn't have to unwrap it to know what it was. From the feeling of it, it was definitely a knife.
"Well go ahead," Yuki invited.
"I don't understand."
"Don't be stupid, stupid cat. You know exactly what that is and you know exactly what I'm asking you to do."
"NO I don't know what you're asking me to do!!" Kyo snapped.
Yuki looked irritated. "I'm asking you to kill me. I thought that was obvious!"
Kyo was stunned.
"Don't get me wrong. I'm not doing this for you. It's for me. You see if you kill me we'll both win. You get your freedom and I get mine too."
Kyo shook his head with denial. "You're crazy. You're all crazy!:
"Go ahead, I'm ready. Oh and don't worry, I left a note to let everyone know it was my idea not yours so no one will blame you."
Kyo threw the wrapped knife near Yuki's feet. "I will not do it. Never! I'm not a killer. If you want to die go kill yourself see if I care."
"That's your final answer?"
"OF course it is you stupid rat!!!"
Yuki smiled. "If you're that sure, how come you're still staying with Hatori?"
"Because."
"Because?"
"Well because I'm not sure I'll be feeling that way in the future."
"I'm not worried about it," Yuki told him.
"Yeah, well I am."
"I give you the right to kill me anytime you want."
"STOP saying that!!!!" Kyo snapped.
"I want to see you try," Yuki said with a challenging smile.
Kyo froze as he stared at Yuki. He knew what his cousin was doing.
"In the mean time, I don't see a reason for you to give poor Hatori a heart attack," With that, Yuki grabbed Kyo's hand and took of running pulling the stumbling boy with him.
"You damn RAT!!! STOP IT!! You Stupid..."
Outside Shigure's house, Hatori and Shigure sat talking about nothing in particular. Suddenly they were faced with a running Yuki pulling Kyo behind him. The two younger boys made a hault in front of the house and Yuki, still grabbing Kyo's hand, approached them. "Kyo's moving back." Yuki eyed his two older cousins defiantly daring them to appose.
Hatori and Shigure stared at the two boys blankly then Shigure smiled. "Kyo's welcome here anytime."
"Where's my physics notes?"
"HOW THE HELL SHOULD I KNOW!!!"
"Well they were here before I left."
"WELL IT'S YOUR PROBLEM YOU LOUSY RAT!"
Shigure shook his head with a wise man's smile. "You boys never change."
Quiet knocks on the door were hardly heard by Shigure. "Quiet boys we have a visitor," he chided.
Yuki and Kyo continued fighting.
Shigure opened the door and was instantly greeted with the beautiful sight of a smiling Tohru.
"Tohru!! What a delightful surprise!!" Shigure smiled as he shook Tohru's hands with both of his.
"Um Uh. Hi Shigure. And thank you."
The sound of fighting suddenly stopped. In a flash Yuki and Kyo were there in front of Tohru. "Miss Honda You're back!!" "You're finally back!!" Their hearts beating wildly, the two boys realized suddenly how much they had missed her and how much she meant for them. And when she smiled at them, her smile melted all the troubles that they had faced.
Without thinking twice about the consequences, both boys threw themselves at her, hugging her close.
Ratana waited for him all day. She worried sick about him. Quietly he entered the castle and without even regarding her with a single word he headed for the stairs.
She stood up angry at his ignorance for her. "Where were you Andan?"
He turned and eyed her coolly. "It's Tasuki Ratana."
"Fine, Tasuki. Where were you?"
"Not you business."
"You'll be my husband soon, how could it be not my business?"
"I'm tired." With that Tasuki climbed the stairs and left her all alone.

1)Will there be pairings? -Of course there will I just don't want to ruin the fun by telling you now who they are but Yuki Kyo Tohru and my Tasuki all will be paired but who with who I'll just leave that to the future.
2)What happened with the rest of the family members? -Well they'll all make an appearance sometime in the story and some like Haru will have a big role.
3)Will there be a Yuki/Kyo,Yuki/Akito or other yaoi or boy/boy relationship? -NO. I don't write that stuff! But there will be deep focus on Yuki and Kyo relationship and some others. Sometimes it'll get emotional but nothing dirty.
4)Did I watch Fushigi Yuugi? -Of course I did. I just adore Tasuki, Chichiri and Tama.
