Part Two: Confusion

Kyo returned after three weeks of living in the forest. He didn't want too, but his shirt was sticking to his skin, almost embedding itself in there, not only that, he stank like nothing Tohru was to ever smell. His once red shirt was now brown, and his army green shirts were covered with stale mud. Shoving one of his mud staled hands in his pocket, Kyo used his other to wrench over the door and make his presence known. Surprisingly, Tohru and Yuki didn't come to the door, but rather an amused looking Shigure. Kyo inwardly flinched.

The entire time Kyo had been at his tree, his thoughts kept on turning back to that stupid mutt, and he'd begun to feel… different, in the sense that he felt well, eager to get back – not that he'd admit it to himself that it was only to see the stupid dog. To him, he was going to go and face the stupid perverted dog and set him straight.

Now, however, that seemed like the stupidest thing to do, looking at the taller man now, it made Kyo feel extremely small. Just the sight of Kyo sinking back into oblivion made Shigure smirk.

"Ah, Kyo-chan, you're home I see."

"Don't put chan on the end of my name, you stupid mutt!" Kyo snapped, pushing past the dog, unfortunately, Kyo didn't get off scott-free.

"Ah, Kyo-chan, your shirts all stuck to your back."

"Yeah, so?" Kyo snapped, flinching as Shigure attempted to tug the glued shirt from his back.

"Wah, it won't come off, Kyo-chan!"

Kyo twitched, turned around, and backhanded the dog, unfortunately, he paused just long enough at the dogs smirking face to allow his hand to be knocked down.

"Now then, Kyo-chan, lets see if we can't get that shirt off."

Kyo twitched. He knew what Shigure meant; Kyo had to get the shirt off before it became permanently stuck, but the way that Shigure said it, it sounded really… wrong. There was even a hint in the dog's eye that meant that he was suggesting it. This time, Kyo really did backhand him.

"Ow! Ow! Ow! Stop it, Shigure!"

Shigure blinked. They'd been sitting in Shigure's study for just under half an hour, and Kyo's shirt wasn't even half way off yet. It was pretty well stuck on there, and Shigure had been wondering what the heck he'd been doing in the forest in the first place.

"It's your own fault, Kyo-chan." Shigure said, a small melody in his voice as he counted to three, and ripped the shirt – and a layer of skin – off of Kyo's back, causing a sudden screech of pain from the teen.

Watching Kyo twitch, now with small droplets of blood trickling down his back, Shigure pondered. In Kyo's absence, Shigure had found that he had been pining for Kyo, rather just being bored by his absence. He'd also found that he'd been having dreams about Kyo, mostly about how it had all started, but with bizarre erotic twists. Shigure was beginning to wish that he hadn't walked in on Kyo at all. The feelings he was having for Kyo were just… wrong. Seriously, wrong, and Shigure knew that. He'd known that what he'd been doing had been wrong from the beginning, but actually developing feelings for the cat wasn't his choice of things to do. He'd constantly told himself that "Cats and Dogs don't mix", but his brain had told him otherwise. He was stuck.

Before he could do anything stupid with Kyo, he got up and left for bandages.

Kyo groaned, flinching as Shigure added the Detol to cease the infection. But, more than that, it was the fact that Shigure was behind him. Right behind him. Almost touching him. Kyo shuddered, the shrug of his shoulder causing Shigure's hand to slip and spill the Detol.

"Aw, Kyo-chan! Did you have to do that?" Shigure whined, grabbing some of the disused cotton balls from the first aid kit and applying them to the floor. Kyo simply glared.

"Shut up, you stupid mutt!" Kyo snapped, swinging himself around to face Shigure. Kyo had forgotten how close the mutt was, and staring into his face – or rather eyes – of the dog at such close range, Kyo felt his face grow hot.

Neither moved for a few seconds. Being at such close range with Kyo just made Shigure's heart pound harder and faster, realising his feelings. Unfortunately, before he could move in on the younger male, Kyo turned briskly away and stormed out of the room, leaving Shigure feeling more than a bit down.
