Chapter 07 By Sage (tired... bad mood... grumpy... generally in bad mood as she wrote. Forgive her.

Alrighty than. Sorry it took so long to update. Just didn't feel like it for a while. Sorry if there are any spelling, grammar, Japanese etc mistakes. I know their there, in fact, I more than likely know of the specific mistake, I just don't give a damn right now. If I feel like it I'll fix them later. Deal ^^"" and enjoy, of course.

Kyou sprang up, arms wrapping around Yuki's waist. The chibi let his legs go limp like a noodle and clung like a limpet as Yuki struggled to continue moving. Kyou started giggling hysterically and buried his face in Yuki's belly.
"Yuki-nii..." he said, voice muffled.
"Yes, yes." Yuki laughed, one hand moving along the wall to keep his balance.
"Good morning Yuki-kun, Kyou-chan." Tohru greeted. Shigure looked up to nod at the two, his eyes immediately straying down to the little growth on Yuki's front, who peeked around the body in front of him and grinned shyly.
"Ah, good morning Kyou-chan." He smiled.
Kyou raised a hand and waved back slowly, before nuzzling his face back into Yuki's shirt.
"Geh! That tickles!" Yuki squeaked, squirming.
Looking surprised, Kyou's head snapped up. Now, this was an unexpected perk that he had not thought of before. Grinning quite sadistically, (for a chibi that is) he dived in. Yuki's mouth dropped into a silent scream before the most undignified sound emerged and squirmed desperately to get away. Kyou's eyes lit up, and with surprising strength, he latched on, and soon the two went down in a flurry of limbs.
"Kyou! Bad! Bad! No!" Yuki struggled to pant out.
Breathing hard as well, Kyou allowed Shigure to lift him away and settle him on the older mans lap. He was grinning brightly, but as Tohru placed a plate of food in front of him, he allowed himself to become distracted.
Yuki struggled to get to his seat, scowling at the unrepentant Kyou, who was currently stuffing his face full of rice. Settling himself into his chair, Yuki growled lightly, to Kyou's great delight.
"Now." Shigure turned to the gorging chibi. "Yuki and Tohru have school today and I have a meeting with my editor." The three shivered at his smile. "So you, little one, will be good for Hatori as he watches you today."
Kyou blinked contemplatively. He had no real opinion about the solemn faced man, other than he wanted to see the half of his face always covered up and something about Hatori's smell made him really hungry. There didn't seem to be any particular reason to protest, other than he didn't like Yuki going.
Seeing the object of his thoughts getting up, Kyou sprang to his feet and rushed over. Making his eyes as large as possible, he gazed at Yuki.
"Yo-You'll be home soon?" he lisped out.
Success. Yuki visible melted and gave Kyou a little hug.
"Of course." Than he stood and held the door open for Tohru, who paused to pat the beaming Kyou on the head. (She desperately wanted to hug the cute little chibi, but had quickly decided against it.)
~*~*~
Hatori sat at the table, legs curled Indian style and back straight as he read his book. It was unusually quiet for him today. Kyou was asleep on the couch, one thumb hanging loosely from his mouth, and only his quiet breathing filling the room. Hatori was used to some sort of activity happening around him at the main house, though usually it was more problematic than anything else. Such as Akito having some sort of fit, or some two parts of the family having a fight. Somehow he had become the mediator since, ironically, Shigure left. He still had no clue how either of them had gained the role. Neither seemed fit.
Eyes narrowing at the sudden prickling on the back of his neck, he whipped his head around. And found Kyou staring back, kneeling at his side. Hatori blinked. Kyou could really move quite quietly for someone his age.
Hatori raised his eyebrow, and Kyou copied the movement, but stayed still otherwise. Seeing Kyou didn't want anything in particular, Hatori went back to his book. A minute later, he looked up to find Kyou in the exact same position. Hatori stared back, than sweat dropped when he realized he was in a staring contest with a child. How low have I sunk, he mourned silently.
Feeling a small hand on his arm, he looked up to see Kyou smiling brightly at him, obviously clueless as to what the older man was thinking.
"You smell nice. I'm hungry." Kyou stated.
Hatori sweat dropped, again.
"Alright." He climbed gracefully to his feet and headed to the kitchen, a trailing Kyou at his feet. Searching through the cabinets and refridgerator, he found some pickles, milk, and five pieces of stale bread.
"Hmm." He murmured.
Kyou tugged on Hatori's shirt, and when he was sure he had the older man's attention, he spoke; "Tohru-neechan's going shopping tonight."
Hatori nodded, than moved towards the front door, picking up a small blue coat of the rack. He turned around and kyou peeked around the corner.
'We're going out." He stated
Kyou squealed and sprinted forward. For some reason he wasn't allowed outside into public too often, so he loved any excuse for an excursion.
Making sure Kyou was efficiently bundled up, he grabbed his keys and gently pushed the chattering child out the door.
He felt like Italian.
~*~*~
He definitely didn't feel like Italian anymore. Not as he looked at the sauce covered Kyou. Hatori had luckily gotten off the nice coat and covered most the other clothes with a bib that a kind lady at given him. ("You're not the dad are you? Take it dear, you'll need it, believe me.") However, the red sauce was just about everywhere else.
"You have sauce in your ear." He stated flatly.
Kyou giggled, unrepent. Hatori sighed and dragged the child to the bathroom for a mini bath.
"Ice-cream?" he promply asked.
Hatori gazed at his already bouncy state and cleaned state, than turned away, opting for no response and praying kyou got distracted. And he did.
"Cookie?!" Kyou squealed.
Hatori sweat dropped.
"Why don't we go for a walk instead?" he asked.
Kyou blinked thoughtfully, gazing intently at the tree covered path. A squittel ran across the path and Kou bound off, not bothering to reply. Hatori wondered if it was the cat in him before wearily picking up his pace to keep up with the active child.
Luckily, Kyou seemed content to come back just to check in whenever he strayed far enough to make Hatori's heart skip a beat. Usually he came bearing a gift, either a specially shapped rock, or a pretty leaf. Hatori usually kept it long enough for Kyou to smile in approval and wander off again before dropping it to a safe spot on the ground. He would need muliple paper bags to keep all the trinkets. Though he did keep one rock; only because it had a very unique shape of course. No other reason.
Glancing up, he realized that Kyou hadn't come back for a couple minutes too long, and his head snapped up.
"Kyou!" Hatori climbed to his feet, and began to walk forward, not running, but moving at a hurried pace. "Kyou!" he called again.
"Hai!!" a small voice called back, and Hatori sighed silently in relief, though he made sure none of it showed when he came around the bend and found Kyou in the pond, hair plastered to his head as he splashed happily.
In the pond.
Shit.
~*~*~
It took two hours to get all the dirt and plant life out of Kyou's tangled hair. Than another half an hour to make Hatori presentable again. Mostly.
Hatori was just finishing when he heard the front door close, and Kyou tore out of his grip and around the corner. Faintly Hatori could hear the child call out in a wordless greeting, before there was a loud clatter. Following at a more sedate pace, he walked to the front door, looking serenely down at the wincing Yuki, who had one hand on his head and the other holding Kyou secure on his lap. While he only raised an eyebrow on the ouside, inside he was silently smirking at someone else being the center of Kyou's attention.
Relief.
