Okay, if you didn't read the announcement on the first part of the fic, I'm
repeating it here:
Kyou's age is going to be like 16 months instead, because I just saw my nephew and he's 14 months and he acts much younger than I want Kyou to act! (He also drools a lot ^^"" I absolutely love him, but he gives me a bath every time I go near him!) So people can stop emailing me and such about it ^^ (I appreciate all the feedback though!~! It's not meant negatively! I love all the advice and feedback! I've just had like 6 people tell me the exact same thing ^^"") I think that age should be about right for the way he acts! If it's not… oh well, imagine! I haven't changed the age within the fic's already written, only from the third part on! Thank you all for reading and I'm sorry for any confusion or inconvenience!~!
All right, finally the story again! Sorry for taking so freakin long to write more!

As well, if Kyou seems smarter than the ordinary young kid, it's because his circumstances are special (since he was transformed) so he's not an ordinary 16-month year old. If it's confusing, don't pay attention to age and just enjoy the fic!
~*~*~
Almost without a thought, Yuki turned his back so that the toddler {that's what Kyou will be referred to as now, whether or not it's politically correct!} was obscured from Akito's immediate view. Haru also stepped a little closer, his instincts to both protect Yuki, and now the small child in his arms.
"What's that?" Akito asked with a sort of slow, lazy curiosity.
Uncertain how to respond, Yuki cast an uncharacteristic look of apprehension at Haru. The dazed boy blinked a few times, also at a bit of a loss.
"Nothing to worry about!" Shigure said suddenly, causing three gazed to lock on him in curiosity. Usually he was the one to try and spice up the situation, not to try and sweep trouble under the covers.
"Really." The head of the household drawled the word slowly, making what was once ordinary sound low and threatening.
Tohru flinched back slightly, moving closer to Yuki and Haru, but Shigure didn't seem in the slightest bit perturbed, instead just smiling serenely at the blankly scathing look he was receiving from Akito.
Akito stared at him for a little while longer before casting another look at the two boys huddled together, obviously hiding something from him. He seemed to be deliberating his next action, caught between curiosity of what was going on, and the feeling he got from Shigure's actions to let it be.
He cast a hard look at Shigure, promising retribution, but finally decided that whatever it was, it would be funnier to torture them by simply making his cousins constantly nervous. With one sickly sinister smile, mostly directed at Yuki, he bowed his head mockingly and turned, sweeping elegantly out of the room.
There was an almost silent sigh on relief in the room as the tension dropped dramatically. Kyou, now awake, stared at them all in extreme curiosity, obviously knowing something was wrong, but very unsure what.
Hatori looked at his friend, unable to quench the slight nagging feeling of concern that had arisen when Akito gave Shigure a dark look. On the writers face was a serious, hard look that looked much out of place as he gazed after the departed man. Shigure looked around slowly, before spotting Hatori's gaze from out of the corner of his eyes. Almost immediately, the dark expression melted into the customary huge smile. Hatori gave him a long hard searching look, knowing that there was much going on under the bright exterior. While Hatori usually knew what Shigure was thinking and planning, but sometimes it was absolutely impossible to figure out what the writer was feeling.
Kyou sneezed violently, breaking up the solemn atmosphere in the room. Yuki jerked and wrinkled up his nose, a disgusted look appearing on his face as he felt the moist spit soak on his face.
"Gross Kyou."
The toddler giggled at Yuki rubbed vigorously at his face, trying to get at least some of the moisture off his face. He reached up one small hand and began to stroke clumsily at one soft cheek, trying to help.
Tohru smiled at the absolutely adorable sight. It was something she never thought she would be privileged to see. While to two of them were normally on the worse terms possible (at least in her rather inexperienced mind) she believed that if they actually tried, they could be really good friends. They were more alike than they liked to think.
After finally getting Kyou to stop brushing at him, Yuki sighed and looked up, startled to find four pairs of eyes trained on the two of them, an absolutely goofy smile on Tohru's face. Flushing slightly, Yuki strode towards the door, desperate to get away from so many gazes.
"Time to go." He stated, flustered.
Haru smiled slightly, waving silently. Hatori merely nodded his head and Shigure hopped of the table that he was sitting on to join Tohru on the way out. Hatori reached out and grabbed Shigure's arm, pulling him to a stop. Shigure cast a curious look at his friends face.
"Ha-san?" he questioned.
The doctor shifted, looking almost… uncomfortable.
"I'm here… if you need anything later." Refusing to look at his friend's eyes, Hatori released Shigure's arm and walked away.
Shigure stared after him for a long time with wide eyes, obviously completely befuddled. Than slowly a soft smile appeared on his face. His friend was rather stern and more often than not treated Shigure like an idiot. But it was obvious that Hatori did care and apparently was more aware of what was going on than Shigure thought.
"Arigato Ha-san!" he called cheerfully as he swung out the door, smiling contently to himself as soon as he was out of view.
Kyou leaned his head back until he was staring straight into Yuki's eyes, his slight features solemn and focused. It didn't take long for the older boy to become a tad uncomfortable with the steady gaze.
"What?" he finally asked irritably.
Kyou reached up and tugged on one long lock of hair.
"Pretty!" He smiled contently.
Yuki blushed against slightly. A compliment wasn't what he expected from the little boy, but at least now the toddler seemed to know that he was a guy, not a girl.
"Thank you." He smiled at the young boy. "So are you."
Kyou's eyes brightened at the words, before he leaned forward and gave Yuki a hard, wet smack on his cheek.
"Sankyu!" he slurred cutely.
Yuki wasn't quite sure how to respond. He always knew little kids were a lot more affectionate than older people. Anyone was more affectionate to him than Kyou (the older version of Kyou), but it was still weird to have someone that willingly and openly close to him.
The little boy began to squirm in hi eyes, obviously wishing to be let down. As soon as Yuki gave in and placed him on the floor, Kyou took off for the house.
"Home!" He hollered at he ran, almost immediately tripping and falling flat on his face. However, the chibi wasn't slowed down in the least, not even worried about the blood dripping down from the cut on his forehead. Instead, he surged forward again, undaunted.
However, Yuki was worried about the blood, and he immediately sprinted after the fleeing chibi, concern written on his face.
"Kyou! Kyou! Wait up!"

~*~*~
I think Akito's a damn scary guy and all, and he doesn't listen to anyone, but at the same time, I think Shigure has some sort of control over him. I didn't quite show it the way I wanted to, but I think its so deep and complicated pathetic old me can't convey it right! ^^
Kyou's age is going to be like 16 months instead, because I just saw my nephew and he's 14 months and he acts much younger than I want Kyou to act!
