XO'MagickMoon'OX

Shiro Ryuu: One of Kyo and Yuki hugging like in the last scene in chapter 22. Again, adorable:D

And as for a plushie, I shall have to make one up, since you didn't suggest one. Um, how about kitty-Kyo curled in boy-Yuki's lap, with Yuki petting his head? If'fn ya want a different one, just tell me:D
BulmaWannabe: One of Kyo-kitten on his back playing with a piece of yarn that boy-Yuki is holding over him. Awww! I love the imagery. :D
Truthahn: Thanks for the review! Yes, ya just gotta love yaoicest. XD Anyway, here's your plushie of chibi-Haru! -hands plushie-
Queen Blood-Ruby: A plushie of Kyo in a kendo outfit, with a katana, a sharp one that you can poke your brother with. And maybe lend to me so that I can poke my brother. XD
Rikka Sohma: A plushie of...me:D -hands plushie-

For Jesse, my other anonymous reviewer (who won't be anonymous for very long, I suspect, since you said you got an account), yes, sadly there aren't many Ayame-romance stories. T.T YukixKyo is undoubtedly the most popular. Ayame is most definitely a PERFECTLY attractive guy! -nods resolutely- Hehehe, well, anyway, once you tell me your penname, I'll be on the look-out for your work! And if you need help uploading, I can tell you how to do it. :) Thanks for the review!
Anyway, sorry it's taken me so long to update! But here's the next chapter! Another sort of filler-ish thing, but hopefully you'll enjoy!

Friday came and we were both on our utmost best behavior. We did all but completely avoid each other in school, and it was eating me up inside. Because of that stupid fight, we'd gone an entire twenty-four-plus hours in cold isolation of each other. And now, another half a day was spent in that same isolation. Well, it was almost the same. Now that the waters between us were calm again, the separation was just that much more bearable. And the promise of the weekend quelled our desire. Or rather, fed it, but forced it to lay dormant for a few hours or so.
But after dinner that night, all hell more or less broke loose.
I remember him closing my door behind us and then practically pushing me to the bed. Both Shigure and Honda-san were in bed, and had been for nearly an hour. Hopefully they were asleep by now, and if not…well, we'd worry about that later.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Isn't that the saying? Well, two days deprived of Kyo have made me grow very fond of him. Read: I was horny as hell and wanted no one but him. Him, him, him. I would never want anyone but him. He was my addiction, my love, my desire, my everything. And having to go even just forty-eight hours without so much as a single kiss had made for some very compromising frustration, mainly sexual frustration.
I don't know when my shirt came off, but it did, and soon Kyo's was gone, too. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see them on the floor, but my focus was quickly averted back to my lover as he captured my mouth in a searing kiss that set my blood on fire. I returned the kiss, sliding my tongue against his and nipping at his petal-soft lips. Pulling back, his hot breath ghosted over my cheek as he whispered, "I want you."
"The feeling's mutual," I replied, smirking at him.
He smiled, dragging his fingers through my hair as he planted open-mouthed kisses down my neck lovingly, his hands falling down the sides of my face to my shoulders and down my arms until they reached the hem of my pants. I groaned, my head rolling back as he continued his path to my chest. And soon my pants had gone the way of my shirt, along with the rest of my clothing, until I was bared before my lover's eyes. Not long after he found himself in the same state.
And under the light of the crescent moon that flitted playfully through the window, we made love for the second time. It was just as magical as the first time, and I had the idea that it would always be so, because it would always be with Kyo.

The morning dawned bright and gray, and I had the opportunity to admire the cloud-blanketed sky out my window as I awoke…surprisingly, before Kyo. There was just something about these mornings when I woke up smelling of sweat and sex that I felt so well-rested. I was able to wake early without the essence of sleep clinging to my eyes or dulling my mind. And I was able to appreciate the morning. It really was a beautiful time of day, so calm and peaceful. It was easy to understand how Kyo could like it so much.
"'r you awake?" came a sudden mumble.
I smiled, turning my head to meet those familiar scarlet eyes. He was smiling, too, albeit drowsily, and he looked so adorable with his orange bangs skewed across his forehead, the entirety of his hair disheveled and mussed. I nodded, leaning in to give him a brief kiss. He tightened his grip around my waist, pulling me closer to him and nuzzling the crook of my neck. We lay like that for a while longer, and out the window I could hear…silence. A surefire sign that it was still winter. The lack of birds, that is. Come spring, there would be a robin tweeting every morning, I knew. But now, the sky hinted at a storm, and the birds were nestled in their nests. I think. Actually, I didn't really know where the birds were. But they weren't singing.
"So what're we doing today?" Kyo asked, interrupting my thoughts.
"Um…I don't know. Homework, for one—"
Kyo groaned.
"Just to get it out of the way," I said, chuckling.
"Nn…whatever."
"Then…I guess we have the day to do as we please."
"Hm, good."
"But first, I think we should…clean up."
I swear, his eyes lit up at that. He grinned, saying, "I agree."
I rolled my eyes, but laughed nonetheless. As I sat up, I pulled the covers with me, resisting the urge to cringe at the pain that seared through my lower back. I guess I cringed anyway, despite my efforts to hide it, because Kyo put his hand on my arm and regarded me with a guilty expression. "Don't worry about it," I said.
"But… I feel bad about hurting you…"
"It's worth the pain," I tried to assure him.
He pouted, unsatisfied. "But still…" He smiled then, as if he'd just come up with a brilliant idea. "I know! I'll bottom next time."
I laughed. "Whatever you say, Kyo-koi. Come on, let's go shower."

We sat down at the table after our shower. Breakfast was already laid out, and it was then that I realized how hungry I was. It was only natural, of course; one was wont to acquire quite an appetite after doing…certain things.
Kyo sank down beside me and laced his fingers in mine, and I smiled blithely.
We started to eat, exchanging only light chatter. It was nice…
"So, boys…"
Too nice to last.
I watched Shigure guardedly. "Yes?"
"It sounded like you two were enjoying yourselves last night."
"…"
What. The. Hell. Before I could even gather my senses enough to retaliate, Kyo was on his feet. "YOU SICK BASTARD! What the hell is wrong with you!"
Shigure waved his fan in front of his face, looking ostensibly serious. "What?" he asked innocently. "It's true, right Tohru-kun?"
My face was burning, and I imagined I was as red as a traffic light. "Shut up!" I hissed.
Honda-san was looking just as flustered. "W-Well… I-I wouldn't r-really know…that is…you see…I w-was asleep…and—"
"Look here!" Shigure pointed his fan at us, regarding us accusingly, as if chiding us for some crime. "You've got Tohru-kun all worked up. Stop corrupting her delicate innocence!"
"What are you talking about?" Kyo seethed. "You're the one who brought it up!"
"I have only Tohru-kun's best interests in mind." Shigure gave off the self-satisfied air of having gotten a rise out of Kyo. I didn't see what he was so proud of; it wasn't any difficult feat to get the Cat all fired up.
And the whole ordeal was giving me a headache.
"Really boys," Shigure said, "next time, try to keep it down, hm?"
I sighed and quickly finished my breakfast, taking my dishes to the kitchen. Then I left without another word and fetched my backpack, going out onto the back porch to do my homework.
As I closed the door, I heard Kyo snap angrily at Shigure, "Now look what you've done!"
Moments later, he had joined me on the porch, still fuming. "God, I can't stand him!" He slid the back door closed and sank down beside me, folding his arms in a sulking manner. He shrugged his bag off his shoulder and it landed on the wooden floor with a fwump. "It makes me almost ashamed of last night."
I looked up at this, frowning slightly. "What do you mean?"
He shook his head, looking a bit panicked, before he hurriedly said, "I don't mean like that! I mean because of the fact that Tohru might've heard us."
I laughed. "Oh, okay. She said she was asleep, though."
Kyo averted his eyes, grumbling, "Yeah, well…" He took his bag and opened it, pulling out his books. "Hey, how do you do this?"
I looked over at the work he was doing. "Number five?" He nodded. "Well, if you're solving for x and y, you'll use the ratio: y over six equals two over y, then cross-multiply." By his perplexed expression, I could tell he didn't understand. Sighing, I explained, "Because y is the length of the short leg of the triangle, and six is the length of the long leg. Then, with the triangle similar to that one, two is the length of the short leg, and y is the length of the long leg. Therefore, y equals two, and six equals y, hence the ratio, y over six equals two over y."
He chewed on his lower lip before nodding and jotting down his work. "I get it. So then, you get y squared equals twenty, then find the square root of both sides to get what y equals, which is…" he scribbled down the equation on the side of his paper, "…two, square root of five."
I beamed. "Exactly."
He gave me a lopsided grin, and before I could stop myself, I leaned over and awarded him with a soft kiss. He mewled happily, then returned to his work as I pulled back to finish mine.
The morning wore on slowly. By the time we were studying for World History, he was leaning against a wooden column beside the steps, and I was in his lap. Straddling it, to be more precise, but that was only so that he couldn't see the answers on the paper I was quizzing him with. It also made rewarding him easier.
"Okay," I said, "how was the German front going after the Battle of Stalingrad?"
"Um…they were thrown on the defensive."
I quirked an eyebrow. "And…?"
"And…the Nazi empire started collapsing."
"Very good." I smiled like a proud teacher and leaned in, giving him a soft kiss. He whined as I pulled away and tried to initiate a longer kiss, but I denied him. "Tsk, tsk." I waved my finger at him. "These are just the appetizers. Answer all of the questions right," I smirked, "and you'll get the main course."
His eyes widened just a bit, clouding from scarlet to a dull garnet. He growled deep in his throat, leaning forward and burying his face in my shoulder, eliciting a yelp from me.
"Don't cheat!" I said, making sure the paper was out of his line of vision.
"How can I cheat when my face's against your neck?" he mumbled.
I blinked. Good point. "All right. What fighting style did Germany use?"
"Blitzkrieg." His breath now tickled my ear, making it a bit more difficult to concentrate.
I glanced at the paper. "Um…when and where was the first atom bomb dropped?"
"Er…August sixth, 1945…on Hiroshima."
"Who was the emperor that finally decided to surrender?"
"Uh…Hirohito."
I skimmed down the paper over his shoulder. "Okay, last question. What was the Maginot Line?"
I felt him bristle, his breath just barely audibly hitching. I could practically hear the cogs whirring frantically in his head, scrambling for the answer.
I smirked. "You don't know." It wasn't a question.
He sat back, halfheartedly glaring at me. "Shut up. I-I know the answer… The Maginot Line…was…"
I sighed dramatically. "Up until now you've gotten every question right. You're only one answer away from your reward."
He scowled. Seconds ticked by as he sat, thinking fruitlessly. Then, he growled, "Ah, fuck it," and pushed me back. I gasped as the study sheet fluttered haphazardly from my hand to the wooden planks of the porch. He straddled me and leaned down so that our lips were nearly touching.
Glancing to the side, he snatched the paper and skimmed down it. "The Maginot Line," he said, "was the fortification that France built along their border with Germany." And with that, he dropped the study sheet and instead took my face in his hands, meeting my lips with his.
And I didn't protest.
Despite the fact that he'd cheated.
I wrapped my arms tightly around his neck, slanting my head to deepen the kiss. He obliged, sweeping his tongue inside my mouth and sending shivers down my spine. I mentally smirked as a familiar rumble started up in his chest, vibrating through my mouth and bringing a soft moan forth from my lips to his. I dug my fingers in his hair, pulling him closer—if it were even possible—as if trying to devour him, and—
"KYO-KUN!"

Mwahahahaha... guess who!
All of the homework that Kyo and Yuki were working on is actually my homework. I just took that test on WWII in the beginning of the week. It was fairly easy. 8D
And, sorry for the shortness, but the next chapter should be coming soon, granted my Muse doesn't decide to take another vacation. -.-;;
Review, please!
