Chapter 5- A loss for words

Warning!- Yaoi! Shounen-Ai! Boy/Boy love!

Yuki watched the cat tumble down the steep bank; watched him disappear beneath the churning, murky depths of the stream. In a fit of puzzlement the Rat lashed out at Hatsuharu, a snarl crossing his slightly pale facial features. "Haru!" The prince hurried down the side of the bank, eyes desperately searching for the orange-haired teen. "Kyo! Kyo, where are you?" He called frantically, amethyst eyes continuing to search for any signs of the cat. "You bastard!" Yuki spun around instantaneously and allowed regret to set into the Ox.

"Yuki…he was…" Hatsu began, only to be cut off by a blunt outburst.

"Don't give me that, Haru! You know exactly what you did!" The Prince waded into the water to where he knew he could still fight the strong current. The water clashed against his hips and waistline…Damn it was freezing! Although the worst part was the blackness of the liquid…you couldn't see your hand under the water the ebony was so thick! Blindly searching for the cat's body, Yuki was downheartedly struck with the realization that Hatsuharu had let Kyo drown…let him fall into the torrent and be washed away. Pent up sadness quickly turned into rage and anger…which was quickly released on the Ox. Yuki cocked his forearm back and allowed a fluent, effortless punch to bruise Hatsu's jaw in a dark purple.

"Yuki…I…" Hatsuharu began yet again, only to be cut off by a harsh kick to his side. Yelping with pain the Ox curled his legs to his chest and rolled over, back facing Yuki. "I...I just..." The Ox slowly wavered to his feet, grimacing when his side burned with an aching pain; sending shocks of it along his nerves, ending in a groan out his orifice. "I…wanted to be with you."

Yuki gasped when he felt the Ox's arms slip about his waist, pulling the shorter male's body to his own in an embrace that screamed, God. I love you! God, I need you! Yuki closed his eyes…which to his surprise…were watering. Kyo…Kyo…he had to find Kyo! The rat moved a bit back, only to yelp when Hatsu grabbed his wrist. "Haru…let go!" He yelled suddenly.

"No. Not again…I'll never let you go, Yuki…" Hatsu whispered into the rat's ear canal, slyly running his sodden appendage along Yuki's ear shell, tracing it with the very tip of his tongue. A small moan fell from both boys…the sensation was too much. Giving in made Yuki feel terrible and yet wonderful at once.

"Hatsu…stoppit. Please…stoppit!" Yuki wheezed with the quickening pace of his chest...rising and falling at faster speeds now. "Ha-Haru!" He tilted his head back and closed teary eyes when Hatsu reached his hand down Yuki's pants…stroking his crotch tenderly.

"Shh…it will all be over with soon, and you'll be happy." What a way to persuade someone; with happiness. Boy pressed against boy, arms around the Rat's waist…teasing the hunger in Hatsuharu's eyes. Should he give in…give in to Hatsu's demanding ways? Of course he would…pressure was not something the rat dealt with easily. It was much easier to run and hide than to stand against his fears. Amethyst eyes moved gradually to the stream, finding that tears soon invaded the spherical jewels.

"Kyo…" Yuki paused, biting his bottom lip as though making a life or death decision…it almost was! Although the rat knew that Kyo was dead…a part of him screamed that this was wrong and he should continue looking for Kyo…that maybe the cat had survived somehow and was further down the bank that he had thought. Maybe Kyo was still alive…and everything would be alright. Doubtful. The Prince turned his attention back to Hatsuharu…getting up on his toes to push their lips together yet again.

The branch was hard, pointed and rough although the cat was not one to complain! His arm was scraped along the elbow and triceps. Determination was pumping through the beaten down boy, surely enough to get him moving…right? Wrong. The numbness in the orange-haired teen's legs would not allow him to move much... using sheer will-power and arm strength to haul his useless bottom half from the heavy current. Kyo's nails dug into the bank's deep mud, trying desperately to pull himself out of the rampant current. Dirt stained his hands, arms, and chest with a dark blackish brown hue. For a moment the cat laid half in muck, half in the water…putting together what had actually happened. This was insane and he knew even if he was to make it through this…he could never look at either of those boys again. Yuki, his admiration, had just stood there blankly watching…letting Kyo drown, or so they thought. Rage and anger filled the pit of the cat's water-filled stomach, hating the way Yuki had played him. "…You damn rat! I swear to god when I get back your ass is mine! I'll beat you so bad you'll be BEGGING for mercy!" He found tears in his eyes, fisting the mud under his hands. He didn't want to hurt Yuki, more over…he would more than likely be hurting himself.

The numbness in the cat's legs did not go away; it stayed there like the ground beneath him, but it also did not grow worse. It seemed he would have to pull together every strand of hope and determination he had in order to will himself up. Putting most of his weight in his upper body, Kyo was able to lift up and eventually pull his legs from the cold water. Maybe he would just sit here for a moment in time, waiting for the feeling in his legs to come back. Common sense told him to find something to wrap up in and become warm, but internal instinct told him to shed the reason for his cold and he would be warmer. In conclusion, Kyo peeled off his sodden clothes and set them aside, pulling his blue tinted legs to his chest in hopes to warm them up…although sitting the just-as cold mud did not help the situation. Knowing this, Kyo staggered to his feet and leaned against the tree the branch that had saved his life belonged to. Shivering the cat pulled his arms around himself in eager attempts to warm himself back up. Too much stress would have normally put the cat into animal form…but this was different. This was not stress he was under; it was pity, for himself, and confusion. The soft sound of wildlife around him welcomed the cat into the wooden area despite the intrusion. Kyo looked around, goose bumps running along his flesh. It was a miracle that he hadn't caught hypothermia already or something relating to the freezing climate. He paused however when the scent of a particular ritual came into the cat's senses, causing immediate jealousy. Sex! He could smell it, the sweaty, bonding ritual that only took place between two (or more) people! Curious, the cat dashed under a thicket, slowly crawling through the under brush to get a better look at who was mating and why. However, their scents were not of different genders, but the same! The musky scent of males reached his nose…and instantly the worst came into mind…and soon, into view! There he lay, Kyo, under the brush…watching silently while the source of his being gave that damn Ox oral! Kyo was enraged…wishing he could just leap in, knock the shit out of Hatsuharu, and steal Yuki away! That would not work…and he knew it. Hatsu might not be expecting anything, considering they believe him to be dead…but he would surely smell the cat approaching and therefore, ruin the element of surprise. Nails dug into the dirt below him while he watched…furiously growing more and more intolerable toward the damn Ox that ran his hands through Yuki's hair.

Yuki forced out a moan to please the Ox above him, knowing he had nothing to live for anyway…so why not become Hatsuharu's toy and give the damn boy what he wanted! He winced as Hatsu's hands tightened on his hair, pulling Yuki's head roughly forward. Yuki coughed…getting a shaft rammed down his throat was not something he intentionally wanted that badly…especially from the Ox!

The rage, the tension, the pure antagonism for the damn Ox was building up so much that he felt he would give off anger radiation! He leapt to his feet, and to everyone's surprise, Kyo…

Oh my god, I am so sorry I didn't update until now! –Bows- I went to an Anime Club meeting today and I didn't' get home until about 8:00pm, and I haven't been home all day. That is one reason why this chapter is short and kind of choppy, because I haven't had the real time to go through and type things properly. I'm sorry, I'm sorry! –Bows, bows, bows- Don't yell at me in reviews either.. I'm trying my best here. !
