Chapter 11

Perhaps a week had passed before Kyo could walk around without it causing him any pain. "I'm not doing it," he yells standing in front of the mirror with his arms folded across his chest and he eyes the snake through the glass with rage shining in his crimson orbs. "Come on, Kyon Kyon," Shigure says watching as Yuki strides into the room and flashes a glare at the two older men. Ruby eyes stare the boy up then down hungrily. "You look nice," the cat says and Yuki glances at the mirror that reveals his lithe form covered in a silk lilac dress that ends in a tight mini skirt showing off his slender legs. A darker purple, sheer covering begins at the deep neckline and splits at the waist only flaring down the back of the teen's legs. Haru enters the room smirking then wraps his arms around Kyo's waist saying, "You'd look good if you put your dress on."

Pushing Kyo onto the bed, Haru straddles the barley clothed boy and leans forward to press his lips against the teens. He watches Kyo's eyes wander over his body and he grins in satisfaction as lust fills that gaze. Ayame had made him a leather mini dress with a deep V-neck. His lips roam to the teen's neck and casually he removes Kyo's boxers before pulling up the red, lacy thong that no one but those few in the room right no better see. "Come on, kitten. I promise to make this up to you later," he pleads tugging the stubborn orange haired neko to hi feet before helping him to slip into the dress. "You do look amazing, Kyo. I can't wait to show you how much I love you when this is over. Believe me, kitten, I'll make you scream out my name repeatedly," he says causing a rosy glow to stain the boy's cheeks.

The show leaves the crowd cheering and the boys breathless. "Can I leave yet," Kyo asks staring into the crowd and seeing the last person he'd hope to ever see again. "Kyo, My Love," a loud, obnoxious voice boom and quickly he retreats towards the fitting room where Yuki sits still in his dress. "Kagura is here I take it," he says calmly and studies the frantic neko. "Come on, let's get you hidden," he adds before gently kissing the panicking kitten. "I've got to get away from that boar," Kyo mummers shoving his arms through his t-shirt and they pause at the car where Yuki climbs into the backseat to change. "Haru, take him to the school's roof while I make sure my idiot brother and that perverted dog don't give her any ideas," Yuki instructs placing the helmet protectively onto the confused neko's head before kissing him.

The motorcycle rocks beneath their bodies and fearfully, though he'd never admit it, he tightens his hold on Haru. The bike maneuvers through the busy street easily and Haru speeds towards the school while he clings to his back praying for his life. Adrenaline pumps through his veins and with excited eyes he gazes at the surrounding objects. They stop next to the school and he hops off before removing the helmet. "Come on, kitten," Haru says tugging him towards a partially open window that they can climb into and he trustingly follows the lanky teen into an open classroom.

Standing in the middle of the classroom, Kyo nervously looks around remembering the classroom. His mind reels as he recalls that it was here that he realized how dangerous Domenic could be. Here was where Domenic abruptly shot a teacher that had dared to try and sexually harass him. That night he was terrified of the man and tried to avoid him. "I want to leave," he states forcing the trembling to subside. He ignores the confusion representing itself in his companion's eyes as he stumbles out of the suffocating room. His mind taunts him with images of cold, calculating blues, and black eyes that had stared him down when he had been younger. He finds himself lost within his own thoughts as he tries to separate Domenic's cruelty from Akito's rage. Really the only difference was that Akito never apologized afterwards.

Running down the empty corridors, Kyo finally reaches the roof and sits down while he gasps for the air that burns his throat. Cats hat had been drawn to his panicked state snuggle up against his legs trying their best to calm him. He hears approaching footsteps and tenses though he knows that they could only belong to Haru. 'No one could ever want the cat,' Akito had yelled before pushing him onto the forest's floor and straddling him. He cursed himself for taking a walk that afternoon as he felt Akito's nimble fingers dragging his pants off his legs. Somewhere in the back of his mind a voice yelled at him to fight back, but he had been paralyzed. A vague image reminded him that Akito had raped him once before also.

His legs move to the ledge and he stares down at the concrete bellow. The sunlight catches in his eyes and he breaths in deeply. "I'll never be anything more than the baka neko, what's the point in trying to change that. I'll never be accepted, I have nothing to live for. He had stumbled into Shigure's study. He had thanked his lucky stars that Tohru was working and the rat was still at school. The man looked startled, but he stood quickly to wrap his trembling form into his arms. 'What happened, Kyo,' the inu asked softly petting his hair while he sobs into the man's robes and stammers, 'He h-h-hurt me.' Nodding the man tightened his hold then leads him to his bed. 'Just sleep tight. I'll tell the others that you're sick and not to bother you.' He nodded then leaned up to hug the inu before he left. Shigure had always been there for him. "Just take the plunge, Kyo. They'll be happier that way," he tells himself.

You were right about me, Akito. I am worthless, a stupid monster. I don't deserve to live. They all hate me; if they didn't then they wouldn't have hurt me so much. Why do they keep proclaiming their love when they don't mean it. I'm sorry for what ever I've done wrong.

"Kyo, step away from the ledge. Damn it, Kyo, please come here," Haru pleads, but he ignores him and continues to stare out into the sky. "Baka neko, get away from the ledge," he hears Yuki say and he glances at him before laughing hysterically. "Why are you two even pretending to care? Don't you know? I found out the game you're trying to play," he yells and turns his attention back to the ground. "We got Kagura to calm…Kyo, what are you thinking?" Tears sting his eyes as Shigure's voice rings in his ears and he races into the man's welcoming arms.

"I want to die, why can't I die? Please, someone, kill me," he pleads as he rests comfortably in the inu's arms. "Kyo, you know that none of us will ever hurt you even if you want it. What are you thinking about that could possibly ever make you want to die," Shigure asks quietly gently rubbing the teen's back and brokenly he responds, "Akito was right about me. No one loves me they lied to me. Shigure, why do you care about me?" The depression is coming back quickly and his mind tells him that no one can hurt him if he ignores them. "Kyo, you're my cousin and I love you like a son," the dog whispers calming his trembling and blankly he glances at the two teens before scrambling over to Hatori. "Can I stay with you and Shigure," he pleads smiling when the sea horse nods.

"What's going on with you?" Blinking in confusion at the accusing tone that the teen with odd hair used, Kyo ask calmly, "Do I know you? Are we friends or something? Should I know them, Hari?" In the back of his mind he knows who these boys are, but his conscious mind tells him that he doesn't and if he listens to that voice he'll be hurt again. "Kyo, please don't do this to me, or to Yuki," the one with odd hair pleads and a vision of him holding that teen possessively enters his mind. No, don't make me remember, I couldn't stand it if they hurt me. "Kyo," his name is whispered breathlessly before the boy's warm lips crush his own in a passionate kiss. That one heated kiss breaks all his weak barriers and he sinks against Haru's body craving even more heat and love. "Haru," he mummers wrapping his arms around the boys neck.

"Don't you ever do that to me again, I thought that I had lost you again," Haru mutters and lifts the slender neko into his arms before carrying the teen down the stairs. "Um, aren't we forgetting someone," Kyo asks quietly as the teen possessively holds him and a slender shadow falls on them. "At least someone remembers me," Yuki says icily before he gently detangles Kyo from Haru's arms. Kissing the neko's forehead, Yuki flashes Haru a pointed glare and says, "This isn't working. What are we doing wrong?" Coughing and struggling to escape the boy's hold, Kyo yells, "First off, how about you stop choking me? I can't breath if you're suffocating me with your arms. Secondly, try to get along and share like good little boys." Stomping off and leaving the two dumbfounded boys behind, Kyo heads towards the park ignoring the calls he receives from the two teens. It's hard for him to believe that once Yuki had been Haru's world and Yuki had treated the ox like a relative and not a disturbance.

He lounges on the sun warmed grass and listens to the children giggle. Despite what everyone else thought, he really didn't hate kids. Their innocence soothes him; it reminds him that the entire world isn't evil. Closing his eyes he relaxes and listens to the sounds of birds chirping, kids playing, babies cooing, and the grating sound of heavy boots approaching. He only peeks at the two figures and says, "Hey, what are you two doing here?" They sit down next to him, one on each side, and he returns to blindly listening to the sounds of the world. "Sitting with you," Haru's simple answer reaches his ears, his voice alone nearly calming his voice entirely, but before he could relax entirely they hear the most dreaded sound ever.

"It's Prince Yuki," the four girls squeal and his ruby eyes open quickly when Yuki clutches onto his waist for dear life. They've gotten worse since graduation," he hisses and Haru calmly studies the girls before their leader gasps, "Prince Yuki, please tell us that you're not with him." The look of disgust in the girl's eyes causes Kyo's anger to begin to boil and another girl asks shyly, "Are you really gay?" Kyo can feel Haru tensing with anger beside him and the younger boy argues, "So what if he is, what is it to you anyways? It's not like he would ever date any of you." The girls' storm off in disgust and rolling his eyes in annoyance Kyo returns to trying to rest. "It'll be dark soon, "Yuki comments shivering slightly as the air cools with night approaching.

Sighing reluctantly to himself, Kyo stands up and offers his hands to the other boys. "We didn't mean to disturb your nap," Haru says and he shrugs saying, "I wasn't napping, I was listening." They walk back to their home in silence each contemplating how long their fragile peace would last.
