Full Moon Curse:
Poor Haru
Shigure gazed down at the top of Kyou's head affectionately. He was so cute when he slept. Shigure ran his fingers carefully through Kyou's hair before kissing his forehead. The past few weeks had been so much fun. Shigure pushed away a hint of guilt. It wasn't his fault Kyou was cursed to love him forever. He might as well make the best of it. Kyou stirred and turned to face him; his lids were half open. He smiled slightly causing Shigure to kiss him tenderly on the lips. Kyou closed his eyes in ecstasy and Shigure watched him as they kissed. It was strange to see someone express so much passion for him. Shigure finally broke the kiss.
"I love you," Kyou stated wrapping his arms around Shigure's neck.
Shigure no longer winced at this admission. He instead smiled. "I bet you can't guess what I have planned for us today."
Kyou's eyes narrowed slightly. "I bet I can." He pulled himself away from Shigure and turned to face the wall.
Shigure was puzzled. Cursed to love him or not, Kyou was still moody and unpredictable. The older man sighed and asked, "Is something wrong?"
Kyou shook his head before pulling the covers up to his forehead.
"Kyou-kun, what's wrong?" Shigure pulled away the covers.
"Never mind. You wouldn't care anyway," Kyou snapped.
"How can I know if I'd care or not unless you tell me what's bothering you?"
"All you ever want from me is sex. You don't even like me. You just like getting laid."
"That's not completely true," Shigure said carefully. "I do like getting laid, but I also like you." Shigure was worried. He did not want to deal with an angry Kyou because he had a feeling the cat might withhold sex. He knew he had to make him happy and fast. "Kyou-kun."
"What?"
"Why don't we go out today?"
Kyou peeked out at him from under the covers. "Really?"
"Yeah, we'll…we'll…go out to eat and catch a show.
"I don't want you to take me just because you feel guilty," Kyou said skeptically although his eyes had brightened considerably.
"No, no, that's not it. I want to go out. It will be fun." Shigure gave him as sincere a smile as he could muster.
Kyou suddenly kissed him.
Shigure hoped that he wouldn't be so openly affectionate on their date.
Shigure pulled his younger cousin deeper into the kiss and pulled him close. Kyou responded by breaking contact with Shigure's lips and trailing kisses down his chest and into his lap.
Shigure sighed in ecstasy as Kyou's mouth went to work. The dog decided that this was definitely worth a date or two.
"Hatori?" a sweet female voice asked from the doorway. "Hatori, is it true?" Hatori looked up to see Kagura peeking around the corner at him forlornly. "Is it true what I heard about my Kyou?"
Hatori knew he had to tread carefully. Kagura's mental state was every bit as fragile as Haru's. "What did you hear?"
"I heard that there's a curse of the cat that made Kyou fall in love with Shigure."
Hatori silently cursed Haru for his big mouth. "Ummm…" Hatori answered.
"I want to see him. Will you take me?"
Hatori contemplated saying no, but the mental image of his meticulous office suddenly in shambles stopped him. "Sure, I'll take you a little later."
Yuki went into his room later that day only to hear a rustling sound in his closet. He looked in and found a shirtless Kyou rummaging through his collection of clothes. He turned to face Yuki. He was wearing low riding leather pants and it was obvious there was nothing underneath them.
"What are you doing?" Yuki asked.
"None of your business," Kyou responded still rummaging through the clothes.
"Well, since you're in my room, going through my things, I think it is my business."
"Don't you have anything decent in here? Something that would go with these pants?"
Yuki just stared at him. Since when was Kyou concerned about fashion? "I…I don't think so."
"Wait here a minute." Kyou left the room and Yuki sat down on the bed. This new Kyou kept getting weirder and weirder. Kyou soon came back wearing a tight black wife beater. "See, this is just too plain."
"Too plain for what?" Yuki asked.
"My date with Shigure."
"Oh," Yuki replied, sorry he'd asked.
"I mean, would you do me in this outfit?"
"No," Yuki answered honestly.
"See, it's missing something."
"I wouldn't do you in any outfit."
"Who asked you, you damn rat?"
Yuki shrugged. "I don't see what you're so worried about. If the last few weeks are any indication, Shigure will do you no matter what you're wearing."
Kyou frowned. "Ain't that the truth. I just wish I could somehow get his attention." The cat sighed pensively and sat next to Yuki on the bed.
Yuki almost felt sympathy for Kyou. He stood from the bed and went to his dresser and took out a box. "Here, maybe this will help." He opened the box to reveal all the jewelry Haru had given him over the years. He pulled out a black choker embroidered with silver and a few silver chains. Kyou put on the choker and looked in the mirror appreciatively.
"Much better." Kyou beamed at his reflection before picking up one of the silver chains and attempting to clasp it around his neck.
Yuki stifled a laugh. "You got it stuck in your hair. You're such an idiot. Here." He reached his arms around Kyou's neck and attempted to untangle the necklace from his orange hair.
"What are you doing to my darling Kyou?"
"Yuki, how could you? I bought those special for you!" Haru's eyes were flashing.
"Yuki and Kyou sitting in a tree!" Momiji squealed delightedly.
Yuki knew they were in for it.
"So what made you bring over the brat pack?" Shigure asked not attempting to hide his irritation. He and Kyou were leaving for their date in about an hour and the uninvited guests would do nothing but complicate things. "Where did they go anyway?"
Hatori shrugged before picking up a magazine and flipping through the pages.
Loud banging noises came from Yuki's room.
"Kyou, you are such a slut! I thought you were madly in love with Shigure!" They heard black Haru rage.
"Yuki, how could you, you sick bastard. You know how I feel about him!" Kagura screamed.
"Me? You really should go beat up Shigure. He's the one who's taking advantage of him!" Yuki called back.
"He's not taking advantage of me. I love him," Kyou yelled. "And I'll kill you all if you ruin my first date!"
"What!" Kagura's voice boomed through the entire house. "He slept with you!"
"Shigure and Kyou sitting in a tree!" Momiji sang out.
Shigure knew it would be in his best interest to leave and leave fast.
"I can't believe that asshole stood me up," Kyou muttered rubbing a piece of ice over his bruised cheek.
"Oh, I can…" Yuki looked at his eye in the mirror. It was definitely going to be black. "Shigure's never really been the courageous type."
Kyou sighed. "That's what I love about him."
Yuki rolled his eyes doubting there was anything the cursed Kyou didn't love about Shigure. He couldn't wait to break the curse and bring the cat back to his senses. If he could only figure out which zodiac member would be the best.
Kyou smiled slightly. His face had a softness to it which was almost angelic. "But he was planning to take me out. That's means something, doesn't it?"
"Yeah, I would think so." Yuki answered, not wanting the smile to go away.
Without warning Kyou took the ice from his cheek and put it to Yuki's eye. "That looks nasty. I'm sorry Kagura did that."
Yuki shrugged. "It's not a big deal. "I'm sorry about Haru." He touched Kyou's bruised cheek with the tips of his fingers.
"Yeah, and if Haru were here to see us now, I'm sure the other side would match."
Yuki flushed and pulled his hand away. Kyou kept the ice on his eye.
"I didn't mean there was anything weird about it, asshole, I just mean that Haru's a pervert and seems to have this delusion that we want each other." Kyou paused. "You know, it could have been you," Kyou said shyly. "You know, this curse."
"I know," Yuki stated simply.
"I'm glad it wasn't."
"That makes two of us."
"I wish he, just once, would act like he cared about me. If I have to be in love with him, the least he could do is treat me with some semblance of respect. I mean I love fucking him, but I just wish, sometimes, it could be more than that." Kyou's eyes were sad.
"Kyou, it's all going to get better I promise."
"How?" Kyou's eyes were misty.
Yuki shrugged, knowing that he shouldn't tell Kyou everything about the curse. In his current state he'd probably chain himself to Shigure. The two of them sat in silence for a while.
Kyou leaned back returning the icepack to his cheek. "I guess it's just us tonight. I guess we could play a game."
Yuki's eyes brightened. "Have you ever played who would you do?"
Kyou nodded. "I'd do Shigure."
"But what if your choices were Haru and Kagura?"
Kyou just stared at him.
