A/N: Ok, ok I'm really, really sorry for the long wait! XX –bows- I'm really sorry, but I've been just so busy with HTML and everything, message boards and such that I had to completely put the Fan fiction aside until I had everything under control. So, sorry, I'll try to update more and more! Plus… School started so I've been wrapped in the year book committee and everything. Much, much love. –Bows-

Chapter 4- Anticipated Events

Kyo had just finished breakfast, standing from the table to move down the hall. Scarlet eyes averted to the window long enough to see Yuki walking down toward his garden. Kyo found himself smiling, shaking it off with an irritated grunt. "Who needs the bastard…?" You do…go to him. For once the orange haired teen followed his instincts…and leaped out the window. Bare feet followed in the rat's foot prints, closing in. "Hey!" He called out, waiting for the rat to do something. It seemed Yuki completely ignored him, continuing to walk on past the garden. Kyo tilted his head to the side, watching curiously as the Prince walked on. Kyou followed, feet picking up their pace as he closed the gap of about twenty feet between them. "Dammit listen to me!" Kyo's arm was roughly grabbed and all the cat remembered was a blur of grey and mauve, along with the thud of his back against a nearby tree.

"Shut up." The Prince growled lowly, hands on Kyo's shoulders, holding him against the tree with a tight grip. "I've seen the way you look at me…why do you look at me like that? It's very uncomfortable and makes me nervous. You look at me the same way Hatsuharu does." The rat narrowed his eyes, pushing his body forward. "What are you trying to say…?"

Kyo, at a loss for words, broke free of the rat's hold and placed his hands on the sides of Yuki's head, holding the Prince's head in place as he slammed their lips together. Vigorously the cat kissed, desperate and deprived of his want and need. Succulent petals nibbled on the rat's bottom lip, pulling softly as to insure his need. Breathy moans spilled from the cat's throat, still holding onto the rat's head. He was afraid Yuki would pull away, hit him and tell him how he hated him so. It hurt, to know that you were born to hate someone…that it would always be like that no matter what. Rejection. It was the word that was truly painful to the cat-cursed teen, the one that really mattered and was basically his life story. Yuki did not reject him, did not pull away from him, and did not show any signs of disapproval or dislike. When the Prince leaned against Kyou…the cat gasped softly, pulling his head from Yuki's own. "Wh-what the fuck are you doing?"

The Prince lessened amethyst jewels, a smirk starting on those lithe, luscious lips of his. "I could ask you the same..." He smiled, sliding his wet appendage along Kyo's upper lip. A sudden ignite of passion was passed between them while Yuki slid his hand against the length of Kyo's stomach, surely causing a certain cat's pelvis to convulse with need. It seemed the rat knew these sensations well, for a sinister smile grew on those lips when a huff fell from Kyo's parted orifice. The cause of this gasp was the Prince's hand, ghosting over his crotch oh so mischievously. The sound of rapid moans and pants filled the cooling atmosphere while the two males shared a closeness only few experienced. Especially of the Sohma family. This was forbidden…surely if Akito wasn't the one to murder Kyo for this…then Hatsuharu would! This was unfair! Yuki was going to be the death of him, surely. Maybe that was the rat's angle…to get Kyou in so much trouble for touching him that he'd surely have his memories erased by Hatori, or worse! That was the logical thinking produced by years of rejection.

"Kyo….Mn…Kyo." Yuki's exacerbated moans fell on Kyo's sensitive ears, making a shudder run through his veins. Damn...Yuki was good! The cat couldn't help but bring their lips together yet again; loving the taste the other male had to offer. Vigorously they sucked on each other's tongues in a fight for dominance…Kyo soon winning. The battle between mind and body was easily won by the body, which at the moment was heating up while Yuki's hands began to run along the cat's thighs. Contact was met again when Yuki's hand once more brushed against Kyo's groin…squeezing and fondling the cat with a bit of force that just screamed, Take me! Take me now you stupid cat! Kyo softly hissed at the thought…not really caring for being called stupid. The thought of taking Yuki however brought his blood rushing down south…causing a slight pigment of pink to dance on Kyo's cheekbones. Kyo slid his needy appendage into the rat's mouth again…sharing heated saliva while exchanging moans. A sudden hand on his arm pulled the teen from Yuki, causing immediate reaction. Kyou lashed behind him roughly, jerking from the source of this interruption.

"Haru?" Kyou yelped in surprise. The sting of cold air rushed into his throat just seconds before the ox's knuckles rushed to meet his nose. Contact caused the cat great discomfort as he lie there, bleeding in defeat. Wavering to his feet Kyo held up his fists, his pride beaten more than his physical appearance. How Haru could hit him with such force? How could he interfere with his perfect moment with the Prince? Was it envy? Yes, envy…and jealousy, that had to be it.

"…I told you to stay away from MY Yuki!" The ox growled in frustration, his anger rising one hundred fold! Kyo stared in awe…his Yuki? His? Kyo snarled deeply… the cavern of his chest rumbling deeply.

"What do you mean, yours?" The orange-haired boy rushed forward with the help of built up momentum, transferring said momentum into his forearm. In a single movement the cat was throwing a white knuckle punch at Hatsuharu's nose…hoping to god that if he connected, he would break the fucker's nose. How dare he claim Yuki so easily? Yuki seemed to back off, watching from the sidelines as these two boys fought over him.

"Yuki is mine…don't you forget it!" The ox rushed forward with matching speed; however, the attack was too rushed and Haru's target moved a bit to the left to avoid total contact. Haru twisted his arm around and brought another attack to Kyo's jaw...upper cutting him. Gasping for lost air when the Ox put his knee into the cat's stomach, Haru took advantage of this situation and shoved the cat down a small inclined bank. When the tumbling began, Kyo raised his arms over his head and curled up to avoid any major injuries to his body. Gaining a few scratches, bruises and cuts along the way down the bank would only prove his fight with Haru was nearly lost. Although when the Ox ran down the bank at imaginable speed…Kyo thought likewise. He had this fight completely lost…Haru had caught him off guard and left his mark to prove it. Kyo's eyes widened when his body collided with a sharp object…probably a pointed log or branch, and grew even wider when water suddenly rushed into his mouth and lungs. Water! Haru had pushed him down a bank…only to collide with water? It wasn't deep Kyo knew that much. It was probably three feet at best. Kyo became greedy for sweetly needed air when his head burst through the surface of the water, gasping much needed breath. Water rushed into his nose, stinging his senses and throat like most water did. Instinct told him to cough when choking, and so, he opened his mouth…only to take in more clashing water. Desperate to make this liquid hell come to an end, Kyo reached out blindly for the edge of the bank. He could barely make out a figure while a strong hand grabbed his straining wrist, pulling him up above water but not enough to keep him from the stream's churning waters.

"H-Haru!" Kyo choked, sputtering water from slightly blue lips. With wide, surprised eyes, the orange-haired teen gazed up at his attacker…the cause of this nightmare. Hatsuharu held onto Kyo's wrist…glaring down at him with a deep, deep hatred that Kyo knew would never be healed. "H-Haru! D-d-don't let go! God, please... please don't let go Haru!" It seemed Kyo's pleas were ignored…for moments after he begged for assistance.. Haru spoke in a hateful voice.

"You…have put me through enough, Kyo. You have put both me and Yuki through hell…and god Dammit when I say to stay away from him…I mean it. You wanted Yuki, MY, Yuki…well I swore if you went near him…there'd be problems... and yet you still neglected my warnings and went ahead and messed with him. What the fuck were you thinking? Yuki is mine and Dammit even if I have to kill you Kyo…even if I have to drown you.. NOTHING will get in the way of me and Yuki!" Haru suddenly let go while Kyo's hand began slipping in attempts to reach for warm flesh again. Kyo gasped for air as he was taken down by the churning, dark waters of the deepening stream. Water twisting and turning around him…was pulling his body down into its murky depths. The stream grew wider here, deeper no doubt. Surely within moments the cat would drown! If only, there was some way to get to the surface. It seemed impossible, but to survive, meant to be strong. And to Kyo...being strong was all he really wanted. With the rushing water invading his nose and mouth, his throat and lungs, it was nearly impossible to hear anyone or anything above the surface or even below it. All hope was lost for the cat, it seemed. All hope was lost…until a branch struck the cat's left arm.
