I Like Hating Him:
Love for All
The week before graduation Kyo was filled with an overwhelming sense of dread. He only had one week left of freedom. Of course he took this out on everyone else and had become especially hard to get along with. Even Tohru avoided him. He still maintained a safe distance from Yuki and only spoke to him occasionally. Yuki stared at him shamelessly and shot him knowing smiles although he never approached him sexually. Kyo had gotten used to nightly release and hadn't dealt well with the changes.
He was seated at lunch with Tohru, Yuki, Haru, and Momiji feeling especially foul.
"Do you want my grilled cheese?" Haru asked Yuki sweetly. "It's not as burnt as yours."
Yuki blushed slightly. "That's okay, but if you want you can have one of my cookies. They gave me an extra one on accident."
"Will you two just get a room?" Kyo snapped, as he stabbed at his mystery meat. "Some of us are trying to eat."
Yuki merely rolled his eyes a slight smile on his lips. Haru glanced at Kyo guiltily.
"I can't wait for next week!" Tohru smiled happily.
"I'm sure you can't," Momiji replied. "You're so lucky. I bet they won't get me anything that cool for my graduation present next year. Waaa."
"You can have mine if you want. I mean I don't have to go."
"What the hell is this graduation present anyway?" Kyo asked flinching as Yuki brushed an eyelash off Haru's cheek."
"Oh, Ayame, Shigure, and Hatori are taking me on a special trip to a resort. Shigure says it's to celebrate my graduation to womanhood."
"No!" Yuki and Kyo shouted.
"I will not let you be alone with that perverted dog," Kyo announced.
"And there is no way you're spending time with my brother," Yuki fumed.
"I'm sure the three of them together could be quite…persuasive," Haru added thoughtfully.
"Shigure said he won't take no for an answer." Tohru gave them an apologetic smile. "And I would just feel so guilty making him unhappy after all that he's done for me. I'd just be asking for it."
"Oh, I'm sure she'll be asking for it," Haru murmured causing Kyo and Yuki to steam with anger.
"You're not going, Miss Honda." Yuki stated with finality.
Kyo didn't add anything because he had just realized that it didn't really matter what he thought about the issue because there was nothing he could do. While Tohru was on her trip undoubtedly being molested, he'd be getting acquainted with his new cage and Akito's whip.
"Um… I already promised. I'm sorry." Tohru was close to tears. "I guess I didn't realize I'd upset you so much, Sohma-san."
"Leave her alone." Momiji said smiling at Tohru encouragingly. "I'm sure Tohru will have a blast, and there's no reason she should feel guilty for it."
"I still can't believe the three of you are graduating." Haru looked at Kyo with concern as Yuki smoothed his black and white hair.
"Well, believe it. We are," Kyo said quietly. He got up and left the table abruptly.

That night, Kyo sat on the roof and looked up at the sky. He knew his days at Shigure's house were drawing to an end. It was possible that he'd never see the stars again.
"Kyo-kun?" Shigure surprised him. The dog never visited him on the roof.
"What do you want, asshole?"
"Now there's no reason to be nasty." Shigure chuckled nervously.
"Isn't there?"
Shigure took a seat next to him. "Why are you still here? I was sure you'd be long gone by now."
Kyo shrugged. "Don't worry. I'm not going anywhere."
"That's what worries me."
Kyo didn't respond. He just pulled his knees to his chest.
Shigure leaned back on his hands. "Listen, Kyo, I need you to do me a favor."
"I won't do a damn thing for you."
"It will keep you out of the cage a little longer."
Kyo was now interested.
Shigure continued. "We've been planning Tohru's graduation present for almost a year now…"
"I bet you have."
"Unfortunately a convention has suddenly popped up so now the three of us have to go to that."
"Of course all three of you have to go." Kyo rolled his eyes.
"But we already paid for the room and all the activities. So I guess what I'm saying is that I want you to take Tohru to the resort for us. I already spoke with Akito and he agreed, but on the condition that you go directly to your cage upon returning."
Kyo felt a sense of relief wash over him. He had more time, and best of all, he'd be spending that time with one of the people he loved the most. "Whatever. I guess I'll do it, but it's not for you."
Shigure smiled. "Splendid."

"I should have known that dog was hiding something." Kyo scowled across at Haru and Yuki. Tohru sat next to him and stared out the window of the train. Graduation had come and gone without much incident and now the four of them were off to enjoy Tohru's graduation present much to Kyo's dismay.
"This is going to be so much fun!" Tohru gushed. "A whole vacation with three of the people I love the very most." She turned her head and kissed Kyo on the cheek causing him to turn a deep shade of red.
Yuki shook his head before putting his arm around Haru and nuzzling his hair. Haru smiled in ecstasy.
So that's how this trip is going to be Kyo thought to himself.

"Damn perverts," Kyo said when he saw their room.
"Bakas," Yuki snarled.
"Oh, my!" Tohru giggled nervously.
Before them stood a king sized canopy bed. The only other bed in the room was a twin bed which was protected by a sliding curtain. The shower was in the corner of the room and had a clear glass door. Kyo noted that it was big enough for about four people.
"Planning this for a year." Kyo's tone was murderous.
The most interesting part of the room was the tacky heart shaped hot tub next to the shower. The only real door in the room offering any true privacy was the door to a bathroom containing only a toilet and a sink.
"What a beautiful room." Tohru eyed the open shower and blushed. Kyo wondered if he had figured out what had been planned for her. She took her stuff over to the twin bed. "I'll sleep here, if that's okay with you."
"Fine with me." Haru answered for them. "I'm sure that's the bed you were intended to start out in."
Tohru blushed and closed the curtain.
"This is so much worse than I ever imagined." Yuki's eyes were wide.
"I get the middle!" Haru announced, jumping on the bed happily. Kyo and Yuki looked at him with disgust.

"Could you move over just a little Haru?" Kyo said the next morning as the three of them sat on Tohru's twin bed with the curtain closed while she took a shower. "I mean, it's bad enough you were all over me last night."
"I was asleep," Haru told him. "Believe me, I would have rather snuggled with Yuki."
"Well, thanks to you I didn't get any sleep. I guess I got used to having a bed all to myself again."
Yuki shot Kyo a nasty look causing Haru to look between the two of them lecherously.
Kyo flushed. "So what's on the agenda for today?"
Haru shrugged. "Reservations to some expensive restaurant and tickets to some play called Love For All."
"Sounds like something Miss Honda might like." Yuki said with a shrug.
"Maybe, but I'm leery of anything that damn dog picked out." Kyo sighed.
Haru put an arm around both of them and pulled them to him. "You two are so cute, the way you get so protective of her."
"Obviously we need to be." Kyo said pulling himself out of Haru's grasp. Knowing how he felt about him and Yuki together made him extremely uncomfortable."
Yuki kissed Haru softly on the lips.
"Mmmn," Haru moaned.
"I hope you know he's just using you," Kyo said with disgust. He could feel the jealously rising in his stomach.
"Shows what you know, you stupid cat." Yuki pulled away from Haru indignantly.
Haru shrugged. "He can use me anytime." He then leaned over and whispered to Kyo, "If you ever want to try to make him jealous, you can use me too."
Kyo scooted away.
"What did he say?" Yuki asked.
"I'm dressed now!" Tohru called.
000
"This place is so romantic." Tohru looked around the dimly lit restaurant. She was wearing an adorable blue dress and looked absolutely breathtaking. All the men in the room had turned their heads when she had entered.
Haru took her hand and kissed it. Kyo was jealous of the cow's ability to flirt with women. "I can see why the three of them wanted you all to themselves. When did you get so beautiful?"
As he looked at the woman before him, Kyo found himself asking the same question. Tohru had always had something special about her, but in the last year she had really filled out and she now possessed a certain maturity that made it impossible to take her for granted.
She blushed at Haru's comment. "I'm so glad to be here with the three of you, although it's too bad Shigure, Ayame, and Hatori weren't able to be here."
"Yep, too bad." Yuki said with a smile.
"I can't wait to see the play," Tohru continued happily. I'm sure it will be absolutely wonderful."
"I hope so princess," Haru said with a smile.
000
Kyo found the play to be fairly boring. It was all about this girl being torn between three best friends. It was full of angst, sap, and romance: three things which excited Kyo very little.
He was seated next to Tohru, who was seated next to Yuki, who was seated next to Haru. Kyo was relieved with the curtain parted for the final act. The main character was now going to be forced to decide between her three love interests.
Tohru was watching the stage intensely. "Oh, my," she whispered, "I wonder who she'll choose."
"Have you made your choice, Taki?" The stern friend asked the actress on stage.
"I just can't decide. I love you all so much." The actress turned to the first man. "Hiro, I love your maturity. You have studied medicine for years and I love that you always do your best to save and help other people." She turned to the second man. "Aki, I love your sensitivity and the fact that you're in touch with your feminine side. I love you because you completely understand me and have a killer fashion sense. She turned to the last man. "Shinobu, I love you because you took me into your home with I was all alone in the world, and besides, your sex appeal is undeniable. I'm afraid I can't make a choice."
"Then don't," said one of the men.
"Choose to have us all," said another.
Soon the three men led her to a bed and what followed caused Yuki and Kyo's hands to fly in front of Tohru's eyes. Kyo had no idea that a play could be so pornographic.
"Those perverts." Yuki was livid.
The play received a standing ovation. At the end the director came out on stage. "Thank you all for attending this cutting edge drama. Tonight I'm pleased to announce a special guest in the audience, the playwright, Sohma Shigure."
A huge spotlight illuminated the four of them and after a few moments of stunned silence, Haru stood and bowed before blowing kisses to the audience. "Sohma-sama dedicates this play to his flower, Tohru, and looks forward to the rest of their vacation together." The director announced.
"How sweet." Tohru muttered through a forced smile. "Shigure-san much have worked so hard on this script."
"I'm going to kill him," Kyo growled.
"Not if I get there first," Yuki countered.
