Disclaimer: I don't own it. Whoot!... wait... that's not a good thing o.o

Yay! Australia Day Holiday! I luff it because it gets me a day off school - whoot! But, anywho, Japanesenut asked what Australia Day is, so I thought I'd explain it to everybody who doesn't have a clue what the heck I'm so happy about. (Really, what I'm happy about has nothing to do with the History, I'm just glad I get a day off school xDD)

Okie, well basically, Australia Day is a day that Australian's celebrate being Australian... as dumb as it was. I thought it was the day of the Federation or something, but I can't remember, so I really have no idea oO; Basically, it gets me a day off school, and any day that does that has to be good. I'll keep looking into it, if I can find any thing in my Year 11 text book... Oh! I know! I'll ask my old History teacher. She's sure to get me a very, very indepth explaination... Yay! (Thanks to her, I now know that grass breathes, and I also know how to make concrete stairs!)

But, now, onto the chapter, Kazuma is completely OOC, but hey... you can live with that, right? A depressed Kyo is OOC, and Shigure's just confused so he's not being perverted. (... Oh god, just wait until he starts on Tohru again o.o). There's some flashbacks in this one too, just to make sure that you don't miss your daily dose of Shigure x Kyo-ness... which I haven't been delivering lately. So, read, enjoy and review n.n!

Part Twenty One: Oblivious

Kyo sighed, his hand stopping on the door knob of the house. It had been three days since that horrible night that Shigure had chosen to forget him, and it had taken a great deal of persuasion to get Kyo to go back. Of course, Kazuma had told him that his door was always open if things got bad.

For Kyo's 'Father', Kazuma had taken the news about Shigure and Kyo being a couple – even if at that point that was over – surprisingly well. In fact, if Kyo hadn't been so miserable, he probably would have squealed about his only son falling in love – but, he'd just sat and listened to the whole story, and, in a fatherly manner, sat beside Kyo's bed until he fell asleep to show that he wasn't alone.

Afterwards, Kyo had just sulked around the house until Kazuma had suggested going back to Shigure's. So, Kyo had gone – he wasn't happy to go, but Kazuma reminded him that if he stayed here, Akito had him within an arms reach.

So, sliding the door open, Kyo stepped into the house again, and began removing his shoes, taking as much time as humanly possible.

"Kyo-kun!" Tohru squealed, bouncing out from the kitchen to see the cat. He looked up at her, fake smiled, and focused back on the task of removing his shoes. "Are you okay, Kyo-kun? Do you want something to make you better? Uh... let's see... Leeks? Waah! Wait! I'm sorry! I wasn't thinking! Cod? You like cod!"

"Thanks but no thanks." Kyo said, "I'm going to go and watch TV."

"Ah! No! Kyo-kun, don't go that way, Shigure's in... there."

Too late. Kyo had already opened the door to the room, facing Shigure, who looked up from his paper, and smiled at the teen.

The hair on the back of Kyo's neck bristled. To Shigure, it was like nothing happened. There was nothing between them anymore – nothing! That was what hurt Kyo most of all. The fact that from now on, he would only be able to look at Shigure from afar, as much as he wanted to be closer to him it wouldn't happen. As much as Kyo loved him, that didn't matter anymore.

"Kyo-kun! Welcome home!" Shigure said cheerfully, "Where were you?"

"At Shishou's." Kyo replied, sitting with his back against the wall, and staring into space – completely forgetting about turning the TV back on. Shigure shrugged, and went back to reading.

Kyo didn't think it would be this hard to face Shigure. He already felt completely drained, and he had only said two words to him! How was he supposed to live with Shigure if he felt this tired all the time?

"GAH! SHIGURE! GET AWAY FROM ME!" Kyo screamed, trying to get away from Shigure. What kind of idiot was he to come into Shigure's office while they'd be alone? Not only that, Shigure had been working on his Romance Novel, therefore, his mind was in that region.

"You know you like it, Kyo-chan." Shigure cooed, grinning as Kyo bumped into the table lost his footing and fell crash bang onto it, narrowly missing the computer.

"Ow..."

Shigure wasted no time in positioning himself over Kyo making sure he couldn't escape. "Want me to kiss it better?"

"No I bloody well don't!" Kyo glared, shoving his hand up at Shigure to attempt to push him off, but the dog wouldn't budge. He simply grabbed the hand, entangling his fingers in Kyo's.

"Well, I know you want me to kiss something." Shigure grinned. "There's no sense in fighting it."

"I'm not fighting anything!" Kyo glared, "Get off m-"

Before Kyo could conclude his sentence, Shigure had captured his open mouth with his own, thoroughly exploring Kyo's mouth and at the same time positioning himself so that half of him draped over Kyo, making sure to make no escape route available for Kyo.

Kyo didn't know what to do or what to think for that matter. It felt... good... but... wait... what in the hell was he saying? He grabbed Shigure's signature yukata, pushing Shigure up away from him.

Shigure grinned down at Kyo. "Now, Kyo-chan, you don't have to be so embarrassed about it."

"WHO SAID ANYTHING ABOUT EMBARRESSED? YOU JUST VIOLATED ME!"

"No I didn't."

"YES YOU DID!"

"Kyo-chan, I haven't violated anybody since the third day of second term of my second year of High school. Besides, you liked it. Don't lie."

Kyo glared, but looked away, a small blush rising to his cheeks.

"There. Now, we can all be happy together. I want cake... you want some too?"

Kyo sighed, opening his eyes to see the pitched black room. He'd escaped here after feeling way to uncomfortable back downstairs with Shigure, although he hadn't expected to doze off and to actually dream a memory. Everything had happened in that order, other than getting the cake, in that bit Shigure had decided to take things... further.

Sighing, Kyo flicked on his lamp and looked at his bed-side clock. 7:36pm – still early. He doubted that dinner had even been served, deciding that he was kind of hungry, and that he could always bring his food back upstairs to eat it. So, getting off of his bed, Kyo sauntered over to his door, opening it slowly. Yawning, he turned to head downstairs.

"Kyo-kun."

Kyo blinked, turning around to see Shigure looking quite blankly inside his bedroom door. "Did I... by chance... change rooms or something?" He blinked, indicating for Kyo to come and look at what he was looking at. Kyo, not wanting to arise suspicion, and feeling slightly sorry for Shigure – although he was dreading explaining the room far more.

He blinked, realising that Shigure was staring at the double bed. "When did I get a double bed...?"

"You decided you wanted a bigger bed, that's all." Kyo said, scratching the back of his head, his eyes also falling on the bed.

"That's all good and all, but it looks like two people have been sleeping in it. And isn't that your pillow?"

-FLASHBACK-

"THIS is my side." Kyo said, pointing to the pillow that he'd dragged from his own room into Shigure's. "THAT is your side." Of course, he was pointing at Shigure's pillow.

"Aw... Kyo-kun... let's christen the bed with something fun!"

Kyo glared digging some pyjamas out of the bag that he'd taken all his clothes in after Koda had pinched his room. Finding some, Kyo took the button up short sleeved shirt and the long pants and headed for the bathroom, leaving Shigure to get changed himself – only... this time... he had a plan.

"Okay. Those are the rules, got it?" Kyo glared, "and... why don't you have a shirt on?"

"Couldn't find any, and all my yukata's are in the wash." Shigure lied. "And yeah, yeah, you set the rules."

Kyo blinked, flipping off the light and edging his way to the bed, he slipped in under the single sheet, on his side, and was... hugged by Shigure's arm.

I should have built a barrier or something! Kyo thought savagely, realising that he had no where to wriggle free to other than the floor, which wasn't a very inviting choice. "Shigure, didn't I just say something to you about sides?"

"You set the rules." Shigure mumbled into the back of Kyo's neck, one handedly undoing Kyo's shirt. "But I break them."

"WHAT ARE YOU DO-"

"That's better." Shigure said, forcing Kyo's shirt off, and hugging him tighter. "The Material was going to make me sneeze. I'm allergic to cat hair."

"But we don't own a cat!" Kyo snapped.

"Shut up and go to sleep, Kyo-chan."

"Well, move over a bit then, damn it! I'm going to fall off!"

-END FLASHBACK-

"Kyo-kun?" Shigure blinked.

"Huh?" Kyo shook his head, coming out of his own small little world.

"You kind of spaced out for a minute. I was asking you why I found your Japanese History Assignment in my room."

"You were helping me with it." Kyo replied.

"Eh?"

"That's right you damn mutt! Now leave me alone! I'm hungry!"

Kyo stormed off in the other direction, leaving Shigure to scratch the side of his head, rather confused. What had he done to make Kyo so angry? Not that he wasn't angry all the time, but it seemed to be deeper than the usual snap.

Kyo didn't feel hungry anymore, no; he'd completely lost his appetite. Living under the same with Shigure and not in the same bed was going to be a challenge.

"Hatori." Kazuma said, sliding open the door to Hatori's doctor office. He wasn't happy at all, of course, the thing that had happened to Kyo had upset him, but he was more upset that Kyo hadn't told him about the relationship before, and therefore he couldn't do much at all for Kyo. He'd ground him later.

Hatori swung his computer chair around to face the Dojo instructor. "Yes?"

"Why did you erase Shigure's memory?"
