Unexpected Elements 05

Hehe, I finally updated, and mostly after such a cliffhanger. I'm sure you'll hate to know that I actually wrote this like two months ago, I just never got around to actually typing it up. Well, here it is. finally. I don't like it that much and kinda want to redo it. But it's something. ^^"" You probably want to read the end of the last chapter again before reading this one.

~*~*~

Absolute silence.

Too many eyes to count simply stared forward, shock plasted over their faces. Even Hatori's eyes widened beyond what was humandly possible.

"Uhhh." Momiji finally whimpered, cringing back to hid behind Haru's frozen body.

Akito kept his head to the side for a moment, before a hand moved with agonizing slowly, crept up to press against the wound. It probably wouldn't even bruise, but to Akito, that was worth absolutely. nothing. Not even the fact that Kyou had lost a good dozen years of his life and probably had no clue of the enormity of his actions did.

Very very slowly, as if making an effort to creep everyone out even more, Akito turned his head, slitted eyes fixating on the still frowning chibi.

"He didn't mean to!" Yuki burst out, shocking everyone, mostly himself, in speaking to Akito that way.

Akito's eyes never shifted as an oddly feral smile appeared on his face, causing the tension in the room to double. He took one long step forward, intentions unknown but malice obvious, before, smoothly, Shigure slid inbetween.

"Mou! Look at that bruise." Shigure brushed his chek over what could be a freckly if anything. "We better go look at it." The writers voice unnaturally loud in the silence-filled room.

Akito didn't respond, eyes sliding over Shigure's should to again stare at crimson. But he did slowly reach out and grab Shigure's forearm.

"Trully." He drawly shortly.

They seemed to be mentally debating with each other, and Hatori's keen eye noticed the white marks where Akito's fingers dug into the delicate flesh. Shigure however, never flinched, just looked directly back. Jaw slowly clenching, Akito finally nodded his head in acquisition and sweeping out of the house without another word. There was a silence as everyone watched him go, before Shigure suddenly turned around and made everyone jump.

"Well, I better go with him! Don't ruin my house!" he waved merrily at them as he exited the house, but most everyone could see the shadows in his eyes.

The house and it's occupants would probably have stayed frozed forever is Kyou hadn't suddenly sat up and stuck out his tongue.

"BLEEH!" he sputtered.

All eyes immediately transferred to him.

"Audacious." Haru finally murmured.

Kyou giggled and twisted to face Yuki, patting the fale boy gently on his check.

"Yuki-ni!!" The mouse blinked twice before his purple eyes softened and almost violently hugged the orange haired vixen close.

"Why thanky ou Kyou-chan, you protected me."

Kyou giggled again, completely unfazed by the tense moments that had just filled everyones every fiber just moments before. As unafriad of Akito as everone else was.

"Wow!" Momiji pipped up. "I wanna loose my memories."

Now, the rabbit meant it in a completely harmless way, to just be able to stand up to Akito like that and nothing else, but as soon as it was said, Hatori looked sharply at the small blond boy, who immediately cringed.

"Ah! No! I mean like Kyou. Just for a while, you know, for fun." Quickly realizing he was making it worse and not better, Momiji bound over to Kyou and tugged on the petite hand. The small child looked inquisitively down.

"That was cool Kyou-chan!"

Kyou had no clue what was really being said, but he understood approval and smiled brightly back.

"Hai hai!." He cheered loudly, bouncing in Yuki's arm.

"Kawaii." Risa whispered.

---And all Dispersed. (in other words, I couldn't think of a way to end it)

~*~*~

Yuki plopped Kyou down in from of his, eyebrow raised and paper towel read to go in his right hand.

"How can you make such a mess with rice? If I didn't know better I would think you did it on purpose." He exclaimed, sighing as he began to rub at the messy face. Kyou squirmed a bit, but allowed the wash down for the most part. He did however, stick his tongue out at the soap. (A frequent occurance Yuki soon found out.)

"I wonder if you stuck your tongue out this much when you really were young. If you did, I'm surprised your Shisho didn't cut it off."

Kyou blinked obliviously, before leaning forward and lapping at Yuki's check. (NO! this is not gonna be a Shoto-con) The boy squeaked rather like his counterpart and jerked back, eyes widening.

"Ah.. ah.. what? Why'd you do that!" he yelped.

"Yuki-ni! You funny!" Hysterical giggling commensed from the small chibi, and he rocked back and forth as he laughed. Bright eyes looked up at Yuki, and the breath caught in his throat. He never through he would see those crimson eyes glittering so happily, mostly not in his directing. His chest clenched suddenly as he looked down at the boy. That's how the teenage boy should look, not the sullen mask that he wore instead.

A soft hand touched him on the check, causing Yuki to look up in surprise.

"Yuki-ni. sad?" Concern filled the small face.

Yuki immediately lept to his feet.

"Noo! No!" He swept the child up into his arms, smiling brightly, and surprisingly, feeling ever bit of it. He wished now, that his parents had decided to have another child, so this could be more real and permanent. But he also wondered if it would have been nearly as precious with anyone else as it was watching Kyou squeal in delight as he was spun in circles.

"I'm gonna miss you when you turn back to normal." Yuki whispered, bringing Kyou closer until their noses touched. The chibi smiled in response and peeked him on the nose. Blinking in surprise, Yuki smirked before peeking him back. Soon there was a full on war they wrestled each other (though Yuki mostly allowed himself to be manhandled) to the floor.

They laid panting, Yuki sprawled out on his back with Kyou bouncing on his chest, still jazzed up even though the older boy was exhausted.

"How come you have so much energy?" He asked rhetorically.

Kyou simply leaned forward and tucked his head under Yuki's chin, smiling contently.

"Luv you Yuki-ni." He whispered.

Yuki's eyes shot open, before the slowly slid shut again, a small smile playing on the corner of his mouth.

"Luv you too."

WAH!!! WAY TOO SMARMY. Geh ^^"" and that's why I don't really like this chapter. It kinda sucks ("kinda??" they give Nekozuki a weird look "You're wish")

I actually played a game with my mom, where she would try and kiss me and I would try and get away. I absolutely loved this game, and I was gonna do it with Yuki and Kyou, but I feared that people would become hentai minded. and I'm not in the slightest into little kid sex, so I decided to skip it. Anyways, hope you slightly enjoyed
