A/N: Jesus you ask 'Kiss or no Kiss' and you're bombarded with reviews. Not that I don't appreciate it but it gets me thinking just WHO is reading my story… @.@ Anywayz thx for reading and on we go to the VIP section of this fic. THX to Showndra Ridge (Four times kiss in one review! I think I got across your point…), Mercy6 (Also four times kiss, not bad.), TheSilentSenshi (Wow, creative review. Yeah poor Yuki and we've got almost x-mas.), Kaorou (Na, you liked that again? Good to hear. But Yuki a real Prince Charming? Well, I think he comes with one hell of an ego.), Miss Kitty3 (Wahahaha, yeah you're right. I think depriving Yuki of his regular sport won't do him any good.), AsnGothic (Kagaimaro? What does that mean? @.@ Sounds like fish to me.), Nyoko (Okay Miss Romantic, you got your kiss though I think Yuki'll see the kiss a bit different…), t.A.M.a-Aki-KaeRi (Christ, what a killer name, if you ever gonna review again you'll find my babbling for directed at Tama-chan, kay?! Of course Yuki understood the French meaning. At least as much as I do. ^_^), JadesRose (My chapters are supposed to be in this style: short & light, easy to read since I gotta write them asap while my kids nap.

Bitte bitte, nichts zu danken!), God Ryuichi (Waaaahhhh, I'm being invaded by godly craziness. Runs off into next week. Gotta bring back Santa for reinforcement… Muahahahaha), panatlantic (KISS?

I'm gonna send him to you if he did so.), AISH (Girl, you're the only one who's thinking straight I think. I mean plotwise. And I took your advise! Thank you! Though you were overruled by the romantics so I let them kiss but go see if you think it'll work anyway.), inari K (Yeah, I'm the writer here you said it. Though I didn't feel any force. Gotta consult Yoda about it. Anyways, I'm more the Dramatic but the Romantics won so let's see how we can fix the story line…Don't worry there's still the third scene missing of the picnic.), Anarchy Chaos (Wow, I think you've won. Five times kiss in one review. Awesome. Waha. Btw, your pen name sounds like something my lil' bro would choose. Who's hiding there???!!!!), kurai (Wow, a royal visitor from Gehenna. * bows deeply * Welcome princess! Hope you'll enjoy the upcoming chapters as well!)

Chapter 12: Have you ever been kissed … by a man????!!!

'What the fuck is he doing ? He's not gonna… ? He isn't or is he ?'

Yuki's thoughts were racing a mile an hour. Gaze fixed on the dreamy eyed look on his lovers face he almost dared not to breathe.

'Does he remember ? OMG. Shu, you idiot. This is torture. Do something already or I'll…'

Yuki fumed silently and somehow had sneaked his hand into Shu's pink fluffy hair. The young man didn't move.

'Geez, he's totally zoned out on me. That's no fun and here I thought he's making a move on me … oh well, see how you deal with this baka.'

Yuki thought furiously and promptly pulled Shuichi down to him pressing their lips together. Now THAT definitely has to get Shuichi's attention. For a moment nothing happened though – both frozen in time. But then as if they were out of that time hole things happened so fast Yuki almost fell backwards as Bad Luck's front man blinked, his eyes widened and with a shriek pushed himself away from the blonde scrambling backwards on all fourths.

« You you …" Shuichi sputtered. "You didn't do that just now, did you ?! »

Shuichi stared at Yuki willing him to say the right thing whatever it was supposed to be . But the blonde just propped himself up on his elbows regarding him with a thoughtful look and said nothing.

'Now.' Yuki thought to himself. 'He doesn't have to act like I have the plague. Well then Shu thinks he's hetero. Probably going to have a nervous breakdown now. It's always like that.'

Yuki calculated Shuichi with a careful look like one would regard a scared wild animal. Shuichi definitely looked wild with his pink hair which litterally stood on end right now.

'Hm, maybe that move was too risky – not that it was planned. Hope he's not going bonkers on me now. But hell it's his own fault looking at me like that and hell he's better not going to give me that stupid explanation 'I only wanted to wipe something of your cheek.' Gah! 'Or your eyes were such an interesting shade of gold I needed to see if it's real.'

Yuki rolled innerly his eyes having heard all of this too often already.

'Well let's see. Looks like his mouth is gonna working not anytime soon so at least I can push his thoughts in the right direction.'

Yuki got up from the blanket and wanted to walk over where Shuichi was leaning openmouthed -'So adorable when he's speechless. I knew I'm a good kisser.'- against a tree when his cell phone rang.

'What the heck?' Yuki glanced at the display and groaned inwardly. 'That woman has one hell of timing. Okay, gotta make it short and painless. Shu kinda looks ready to bolt. Maybe I really overdid it.' Yuki admitted the call and shot asap. "No time. Emergency. Gotta go. Bye."

He let the phone fall back into his pocket and flashed the suspicious looking Shuichi a smile.

"You stop there right now." Shuichi grounded out.

"Ah, mouth working again. That's good." Yuki grinned at him. 'Gotta make him relaxed.'

Shuichi blushed a furious shade of red. "I don't know what you were thinking back there. I wasn't doing anything - 'exactly the problem' Yuki interrupted in his mind – and you kiss me out of the blue." Shuichi exclaimed angrily looking anywhere but in those damn amber colored eyes of his. They were the cause of his embarressment in the first way.

So Yuki got into a crouch in front of him trying to think of something senseful to say without making Shu anymore angry. 'Maybe the kissing thing was a much bigger mistake than I thought before. It'd be horrible to think Shu wouldn't want to see him anymore.'

Yuki stamped onto the thought as soon as it crossed his mind. 'Nah. Think possitiv, Eiri. You get your ass out of everything.' But before he could launch into his speech of defense a shadow fell over him. Warning bells rang in his head as he slowly turned.

'Oh shit.'

His own sister – there's got to be proof somewhere that she was adopted – stood looming over him with an expression on her face which left him with a sinking feeling in his stomach.

She smiled – KINDLY – at him.

Not reproving, mocking, sarcastic or whatever else she had in store but kindly. Now that was freaky. Usually he was not a person it was directed at. Nope usually she spared that kind of smile for her darling husband who probably had a field day at home having now the second catastrophe out of his house.

Yuki swallowed. He hated dealing with woman who had a "claim" on him. Those ones you couldn't just toss to the side when their 'best before date' expired.

He gave her one of his superior smiles and promptly stood up. No good in having someone looming over you if you could intimidate them just as well with looming over THEM – not that that has ever worked with Mika before.

"Hello Mika." The blonde nodded at her.

"Hello you two. Having a nice afternoon? I just thought I might check up on my little brother and his … friend" – she gave Yuki a knowing (?) look - "and bring you this little surprise."

Mika dropped a small container of ice cream in Shuichi's lap. "Just so you can enjoy something sweet together." She winked at Shuichi who stared confused at her but gave a small uncertain smile.

"Okay you two. I have still loads of things to do. I will go and leave you two (she lowered her voice) alone now." Yuki's sister gave them a last smile and stalked with her high heels carefully over the grass. Both Yuki and Shuichi stared after her like they've just seen an alien.

'Well it couldn't have been any more shocking.' Yuki noted mentally.

Shuichi who totally had forgotten of Yuki's act of offense asked. "Do you think she's okay? I mean she was eh how to say…?"

"Weird, scary, high?" Yuki promptly offered.

Shuichi looked at his profil garding his eyes against the sun. "Well, something like that."

"Well, I do think that woman had an ultimate motive. There's gotta be something about that act."

"Well at least she brought us some ice cream. But if you think you're out of the dilemma you're wrong. You better give me a good excuse or I'm not going to share the ice cream with you."

Yuki raised an eybrow eying the one gallon container. "You know you're going to be sick if you eat that up all alone." 'Then again it's Shuichi we're talking about here.'

But Shuichi only shrugged and started to eat. Yuki rolled his eyes.

"Okay okay."

Shuichi looked up curiously.

'Now that got your attention what? One word of reconcilation and you're on attention. Not that relaxed like you want me believe me to be.'

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that but you see leaning over me like that just gave the impression you wanted…"

Shuichi bored his eyes into his. 'Gah, no fair. It's all your fault.' Yuki's love starved mind complained frustrated.

"You just simply gave me the wrong impression. It's just a kiss anyway. No big deal. I mean we are just …-"

*ringring*

'What the hell is it now?'

"Sorry." Yuki shrugged helplessly. "Business."

Shuichi frowned at him nonetheless. That sentence had been just too interesting to hear.

'Shit, not her again.' Yuki connected the call. "I said I have no time right now." He bellowed into the phone.

His partner though seemed to be unfazed or rather used to such verbal abuse and screamed right back so that even Shuichi could hear it.

"WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE MEETING? YOU DIDN'T FORGET ABOUT IT,OR?"

'Meeting? What meeting?' - "Of course not. But…-"

"WELL, YOU'LL BETTER BE HERE ASAP OR YOU CAN FORGET ABOUT THE DEAL."

'What the heck is she talking about?' - "Listen, I really can't speak now. Damn, what is that? I think there's a problem with the line. Hello? Can't hear you…"

Yuki disconnected with a sigh. 'Now that should shut her up for awhile. Why couldn't she be less persistent? Probably this was one of the top qualities of being an agent.'

"You know if you've got somewhere else to be, I'll understand." Shuichi's voice drang into his ear indicating quite clearly that he wouldn't understand at all.

"What?" Yuki looked over to him. "No no. It's not important. I have no idea what she wants anyway. She'll manage just fine without me. Wouldn't be the first time." He assured Shuichi quickly who was halfway through the carton of ice cream.

Shuichi looked doubtfully at him and asked. "So what were you saying before we got interrupted ONCE AGAIN?"

'Do I hear there annoyance?' Yuki pondered. 'And what is HE talking about?'

"You know it's not funny for me. I don't remember anything about you and I have the feeling you're not telling me the whole thing."

'No shit. If I'd do that I could go looking for a new lover.' - "It's not that easy. The doctor said you're supposed to take this easy."

"So what? I thought we're at least friends. Do friends kiss each other? Were we at least friends?"

'Way beyond that.' - "You could say so. At least I hope so. And why shouldn't friends kiss each other? Look at the French and the Russians they do that all the time."

Shuichi wrinkled his brow. He had heard stories about that but he wasn't so sure if those kisses included the mouth and a certain tingly feeling in his stomach…

"So we are friends then?" Shuichi needed to be sure.

Yuki looked at him. "Yes."

Shuichi smiled. "Good. But I'm still not going to share my icecream with you."

Yuki rolled his eyes. "Whatever, baka."

Hi guys. I actually liked this chappie. I made a compromise about the kiss thing. Though most of you all are mushy romantics. Feh! No sense for drama. x.x I let them kiss but as you all read it wasn't THAT kind of a kiss. And looks like Shu wasn't so happy about it either. Unfortunately the scene is not completely done yet and I can't say for sure I can update next week since I'll fly back to Germany for x-mas for one week. So let's say it'll depend on your reviews. ^_^ Btw, did I mention Yuki's agents name already in one of the prior chapters? I totally forgot. And I still want to write my Gravi x-mas story.
