Chapter 15

Jerking awake, his eyes focus then glare icily at the teen, and he instinctively curls closer to Shigure. "Kyo, I will beat you myself if you do not follow him," Akito warns sending chills throughout his veins and reluctantly he tries to stand only to crash back to the floor. The inu rubs his eyes then looks at them with confusion and distress. Lovingly he's lifted into Yuki's arms and carried away from the only man he can trust in this odd home. "Lay him out on the bed, I want to watch you," Akito says sternly and he doesn't object as he's stripped bare then laid out like a sacrificial offering to some vengeful god. He cringes as the teen's hands caress his chest, tracing the wounds, and he whimpers when the teen roughly grabs a hold of his wrists. "Sorry," Yuki states looking at him sadly and he tries to smile knowing that he'll be hurt severely if he doesn't try to comfort the teen. "Why can't you love me," Yuki demands gazing into his eyes and the fury in the teen's eyes that mingles with grief frightens him.

Sitting back with a grim smile, he watches the neko's chest rise and fall with each breath. He clenches his fist then glances at Akito and kisses the tanned cheeks of his frightened kitten. His eyes wander over the teen's body. Sorrow clouds his mind letting tears escape and he shivers when Kyo's eyes meet his. "I love you so much, yet you can't love me in return," he comments almost afraid to touch the teen and he gasps in surprise when Kyo pulls him down. "Do what you want and get it done with," the neko growls and smiling he lets their lips mingle together until Kyo weakly pushes against his chest. "You haven't answered his question," Akito states alerting them to his presence and he gazes into twin pools of fire. "I can't love you, I don't know why I love Haru and not you so stop demanding to know," Kyo states looking away as if trying to analyze his emotions and he smiles asking, "Could you learn to love me?" The teen looks at him skeptically then demands, "Did you learn to love him?" He shakes his head then nips the teen's collarbone before whispering, "I can't."

Anger consumes him as Yuki plants kisses upon his body trying to ease his pain and he feels even more intensity in his hatred of Akito. "I may not be able to love you, but I don't hate you," he says earning him a half hearted laugh from the rat and he feels his body transform into jelly as Yuki continues his feather like touches and desperate, adoring kisses. "Why do you want me so badly," he demands softly as to not alert Akito and the rat smirks letting his hands wander into his hair. He almost purrs as those talented hands tug on his hair playfully and he glares as the teen giggles. "You're absolutely beautiful, you know? Like an untamable, raging fire that I just have to claim," he hears the teen comment as he lays down beside him then the boy adds, "I want you so badly, but I can wait. We'll be together like this again and once you're fully healed then you'll be mine." His gut clenches with fear at the possibility of a next time. He winces when Yuki's eyes look at him possessively and he trembles as the boy bites his neck hard enough to nearly draw blood.

He's so cute with his eyes glazed over with that lost, fearful look and his lips quiver. "Relax, I won't hurt you. I admit that I went too far earlier, but I never meant to destroy your body like that," he says then watches Kyo's eyes flash with doubt and he cradles the kitty kat in his arms kissing the sun kissed face. "Really, I love you and that's why I'm going to save you," he states and draws in a sharp breath when the cat digs his claws into his arms. "Shut up, Yuki. I don't need to be saved, especially by you. Just shut up so that I can pretend I'm somewhere else with Haru," Kyo hisses and he shakes his head with a silly smile saying, "Haru doesn't love you, why would he want to be with you? I'm just saying, it's rather odd that he went from loving me to the point of obsession to fawning over you."

Irritably he slams the door shuts and tightens his coat around himself. "How much longer are they going to be stuck there," he asks, his tone calm and face unreadable, and the doctor looks up at him from the porch with a cigarette dangling from his lips. "It's up to Akito," the seahorse says with cold, emotionless eye and he rolls his good eye in annoyance when Ayame drapes himself across the man's lap. Walking away he hears the snake comments, "Hari, do you think they'll actually live through this. Shigure's never had to deal with Akito like this before and Kyo's wounds were rather vicious." He doesn't stick around to hear Hatori's answer, but sneaks into the gardens that lead to Akito's rooms. Betrayal crosses his features when he spies Yuki on top of his kitten. Clenching his fist, he stares in horror as Kyo just lies there letting the rat do as he pleases. "Haru can't love you like I can. He's a shallow, little boy," Yuki states and shaking his head he can't believe he loved that ice prince once then Kyo's voice murmurs, "No, he does love me. You'll never be as good as him." Triumphantly he grins knowing that the neko wouldn't abandon him.

Hesitantly he opens his eyes at the sound of footsteps and he waits for the door to open. "Gure, I don't have the key so I can't come in, but I'm going to write a letter for you to give to Kyo. I'll slip it beneath the door when I'm finished. I'll be right back then we can talk as I write," Haru says and he smiles at the sound of another's voice. He can't tell how long he's been alone or if it's day or night since they boarded the window up. The only light comes from the two lamps placed at opposite sides of the room. "Haru, see if you can get Hari to bring me some writing supplies for me and something to occupy Kyo the next time he comes," he asks unwilling to admit that his tone borders on pleading.

Sitting down outside the door, he briefly wonders if the room was made for the exact purpose of holding prisoners. The door, which he'd never paid attention to before, was hard metal that couldn't be broken down and the room is placed in an unused corridor. Quietly he begins to write then finally asks, "Shigure, how are you holding up? You've always been on Akito's good side and Ayame doubts that you or Kyo will make it." He smiles faintly at Shigure's chuckle then the man responds, "Aya doesn't know what he's talking about. Kyo and I are stronger than that. I've been fine, though I do miss those sweet, high school girls and I'm rather bored." He grins at the dog's humor and continues his letter only saying, "Talk to Kyo and let him know we all love him. Never let him forget that." He slips the note beneath the door and grins happily when Shigure calls out, "Ooh, a love letter! I can't wait to see Kyo's expression."
Weakly he stumbles into the room with his entire body feeling like jelly and he falls gratefully onto the floor beside Shigure. "I was supposed to tell you that Hari feels the same. Remind me to thank him for these pills when I stop feeling like I'm in another universe," he says then stares in surprise when the dog drops a note into his lap. "What are you talking about? What feelings exactly?" He glances tiredly at Shigure then begins laughing hysterically. I'm not sure, but this feeling is so awesome. I can feel my veins pumping blood and my skin tingles," he explains while unfolding the piece of paper and he smiles openly at Haru's somewhat familiar writing. "Did I admit my feelings aloud," Shigure asks in a hushed tone and he giggles before uncharacteristically singing, "Gure loves Hari!"

A smile forms on his face as he reads over Kyo's shoulder. His mind reels with the possibility that he let his feelings slip. But Kyo said he felt the same that means he could love me, too. The blush that stains Kyo's cheeks only makes his smile widen and he can't help himself when he asks the boy, "So, Haru stole your virginity?" Rolling his eyes, the neko shifts into a slightly more comfortable position as he slings his arm over his slender shoulders, "Yeah, now shut up. If you tell anyone else I'll make sure to hurt you so bad this seems like heaven." He continues to read the letter over the boy's shoulder, but keeps his comments to himself.

Kyo,

I know it's only been a couple days, but I hate not being able to have you in my arms anytime I want. Don't listen to Yuki, and please believe me when I say I love you. I know neither of us is sappy so I'll skip all the romantic declarations of how much I love you. I can only hope you know that what I feel is real. When you get out, I promise to send you into a blissful, sensual oblivion. Apparently Black sends his love, too. Funny thing is I thought he might hate you, but he doesn't. That's good to know. According to Kisa and Momiji I lost it not that long ago and Black destroyed a room in Hatori's house declaring his lust in vulgar terms and displaying that he loves you by nearly beating Ayame. God, that snake's a fruit loop. (I'll explain later). Well, I wont bore you anymore. So, see you soon and be prepared for both Black and myself when you're released. I'll try to find some things to ease your boredom.

Love You, B&W Haru.

Chuckling he brushes the rat's hair back and gently kisses his cheek. "Now, my pet, you must obey my every command," he hisses in the teen's ear and he tosses the boy onto the floor smirking. "What's with all you idiots? He's the cat, he doesn't deserve to be treated gently. All of you have this stupid idea that he is a person and that he has to be respected," he growls forcing himself into the tainted boy reclaiming him as Yuki releases pained whimpers. He smiles enjoying the control he has over the boy.
