Chapter 1:
Akina rolled over, carefully. She glanced at her lover's face and sighed. They lived in the same house, they shared the same bed, but they could never touch. Sharing the same bed was difficult, half the time Akina would awake to not a man in her bed, but a cat. Or a naked man. She was lucky today.
Akina quietly made her way out of bed, and to the window. She knew Kyou would wake up better to a cool autumn breeze than to her shaking him.
She pulled the blinders up to reveal a cloudless blue sky. The sunshine spilled into the room, lighting it up. Kyou shifted under the blankets. Akina grinned at him, with a devilish gleam in her eye, as she unlocked the window, and flung it open.
The cool morning air wafted into the room and set the temperature down quite a few degrees.
The moment the newly cooled air hit Kyou's face he was up. The comforters fell to the floor, and he flicked his head around to see the open window and Akina standing next to it.
"Why did you do that! I was sleeping!" Kyou cried.
"I had to wake you, I heard others awake, and you know I must be hidden Kyou. Our love must be kept a secret, or. Well, you know what happened to Hatori." Akina lowered her head.
"If he touches you, you know I'll murder him."
"What's this I hear, Kyou? Talking to inanimate objects again? You'd better not be planning to kill Akito. You know what happens when he dies." Shigure's voice drifted into the room.
Kyou looked around and shoved Akina into a closet, "Shigure, I think I'd be going crazy if I planned to kill Akito. Unless I figured out a way to survive, I wouldn't mind getting that damn rat off the plate."
"Excuse me Kyou, but is this girl in your closet of any interest to you?" Yuki teased.
"Shuddup rat boy! Don't let Shigure know, he'll tell Akito." Kyou snapped
"Ah, I see I've hit a sensitive spot. Can you say blackmail?" Yuki strolled out of the room.
"You tell anyone, you're dead! Ya hear! Dead!"
Akina stepped out of the closet, and glanced at Kyou. "I'm sorry, if I'm going to get you in trouble, I'll leave."
"Don't bother, it'd be you that would be getting in trouble, and I won't let that happen."
Akina smiled and slipped her hand into his, wishing that she could hold him close to her, just once.
