Yuki: you stupid cat! Kyo: You damn rat!
Tohru: what are the arguing about this time you ask? Milk. Kyo drank the last of the milk.
Both: He did it!
Chapter 5
Falling apart
Yuki's breath was labored and strained. Kyo still had him pinned to the wall, his shirt open and those red eyes brimming with anger. "How long...has this been going on"
"Since the night you transformed..." Yuki didn't need to finish, Kyo knew what the rat meant and was even angrier about it now. "That bastard"
"Stop it...can you please let me go?" Yuki's voice wavered with the threat of tears, but he'd never cry. Kyo's hands slowly released Yuki's arms and both were startled by a gasp. They turned to see Tohru, Shigure, Ayame, and Hatori standing in the kitchen doorway.
"What's going on?" Hatori demanded. "That's what I'd like to know...Yuki! You're black and blue!" Tohru's eyes flooded with tears" Kyo"
"W-wait! We didn't fight!" Kyo defended. "Then what the hell happened?" hatori snarled, Ayame pushing Kyo to the floor. "What happened Yuki? Are you alright? Did Kyo do this"
"No!" Kyo snarled, glaring at the snake.
Yuki looked down at the angry cat. " No...Kyo didn't do this." It came out in a horse whisper. Everyone, but Tohru, glared at Kyo. "We never knew you'd stoop this low." Ayame growled, lunging for the cat-cursed. On impulse Yuki slid in front of Kyo and glared at his brother. "The cat didn't do it"
"How not! He had you pinned to the wall!" Shigure snapped.
"He...was worried about me...I got home unexpected. And he saw the injury on my arm. He was just mad..." Yuki explained trying to make it make sense. But was failing horribly.
Tohru helped Kyo off the floor and grabbed Yuki roughly by the arm, and pulled him behind Kyo.
No one had seen akito enter the room, but Kyo had felt that nasty presence.
"What on earth are you trying to hide Kyo?" That cold, heartless voice washed over Kyo in anger.
"You can't have him"
"Oh…but I beg to differ...He does not belong to you."
Kyo growled, Akito was right like always, but he wasn't getting away with it. "Let it go Kyo...I'll be fine." Yuki whispered, laying a hand on the cats shoulder.
Kyo glared back at the rat. "Over my dead body"
"That can be arranged." Akito smirked, this was surprising everyone. Tohru was in a state of shock and the trio was stunned speechless.
Yuki stepped towards Akito and Kyo let out a strange whimper. Akito pulled Yuki out of the house and they didn't look back.
Shigure watched Kyo throw punches in the air. Three days and he hadn't even tried to go get Yuki. Tohru had even insisted that she go, but Kyo had snapped at her. He was in another foul mood today and they made sure to steer clear.
Kyo stepped out of the shower and walked down the stairs. It was almost time to get to bed, but he was hungry. As he walked around the Kitchen a carton of milk in his hand, was when he heard a sigh from shigure's office. Kyo slid the door open and a tired Shigure looked up. " oh.Kyo. Still up are you"
"Yeah? So"
The dog sighed and shuffled his papers. "It hurts doesn't it"
Kyo snorted. "What are you talking about"
Shigure's dark eyes stared down at the papers in his hands. "You fell again Kyo"
Kyo stumbled back. "No I didn't!"
"Don't lie"
He wanted to leave, throw the milk at the dog and run, but his feet wouldn't carry him. "I didn't"
"Then why try to protect him"
"I'm not protecting him. He lets Akito do"
"No. Akito makes him. And do you want to know how he does it.
No. no I don't.kyo thought angrily, but he nodded his head.
"Akito threatened him. He told me this the other day, it was about time, but Yuki said it wasn't that important. I thought it was." Shigure brought in a deep breath. "Anyways, Akito watched both Yuki and Tohru follow you into the forest. He saw the whole thing. Akito threatened to kill you if Yuki didn't cooperate. So you see...Kyo..." The sad-eyed writer looked up. " Yuki had fallen before you"
Kyo did what he'd wanted to do the moment Shigure talked to him. He threw the milk at him and ran out. Not to his room. Not to the roof. Not to Tohru.
To the main house.
