Chapter 3:

"Yuki? Yuki, please wake up," Tohru called to his upstairs bedroom. Worry creased her brow. Yuki had been sick with a fever for two days--she didn't know what to do. A young man with white and black hair stood next to her. He looked thoroughly annoyed.

"I'll go wake him up." A smirk crossed his face as Torhu nodded. I know what will wake you up, Rat. The boy crept up the stairs, hands enclosed tightly in the sleeves of his grey and black haori. He paused to knock the door, but then lowered his hand. Slowly, he slid open the door to find Yuki lying on a futon, surrounded by charms and a water basin. Yuki tossed restlessly from side to side. The young man blushed as he watched. I'm here, my sweet, he thought. He pushed down the covers and found Yuki to be covered in sweat. He loosened the sweat soaked haori and exposed Yuki's milky smooth chest.

The temptation is killing me... The black and white haired boy succumbed to his desires and began softly kissing the salty, creamy skin. A moan escaped his lips as he felt fingers going through his hair. Oh Yuki, I've missed your body. Those same fingers tightened and pulled the boy's head back. "Hatsuharu...I told you that I can no longer return your affections," Yuki stated, solemnly. "Not after what Akito did to me." Yuki pushed himself up and covered his chest with his haori. He turned his head to hide his fear from Haru's view.

"I...I'm sorry Yuki. I just heard that you were sick and I came to visit. I just..." Haru trailed off. Anger started to boil within his body. Why does Akito have to be so demanding? He really pisses me off! Haru couldn't contain himself...he was going to explode. "I hate that damn Akito! What the fuck is his problem? Damn bastard!"

Yuki placed a hand on Haru's chest. "Please," he panted, "don't turn black." He coughed hard. Yuki fell backwards onto the futon in a fit of wheezing. Alert, Haru stood and turned to exit. I'll get someone here to help you, my Yuki.

"Is Yuki alright?" Torhu asked. Concern crossed her face as she held a clean haori and towel. Haru looked down at her: She really is a caring girl...is Akito sure that she's the One?

"Look you--take care of Yuki. I'm going to get Hatori here so he can check up on him. He'll be here by nightfall." Haru disappeared out of sight.

Poof. What was that? wondered Tohru. She looked down onto the futon and became bewildered. "Yu..Yuki? Uh...are you a rat?" The small figure surrounded by mountainous sheets nodded. He continued to wheeze and Tohru quickly settled him onto her lap. She dipped the towel in cool water and pressed it on his forehead; his wheezing subsided.

"Thank you. I...I'm sorry you have to see me like this, in my animal form." The small Rat blushed. Why isn't she disgusted by me?

"Yuki, you're so cute! Did you transform because you're sick?" He nodded. Poof. Yuki straddled her, completely naked and in full glory. "Oh!" Torhu whipped her hands over her eyes, trying also to conceal her fiery cheeks. "I...I didn't see anything!" She could feel him shift his weight as he got up. Meekly, Torhu opened her eyes and gazed into Yuki's eyes. He's so handsome, just standing there smiling at me.

"I apologize. When we turn back into human form, we're completely naked. But, I think I feel a bit better now," Yuki confessed. He tightened his haori and began patting his brow with a towel. "Did Haru go to get Hatori?" She nodded. "Good, then we have some time until he gets here..." He turned to face her, a smile on his lips.

What? "We have some time?" Yuki stalked over to where Torhu was kneeling. Oh, he's looking at me! His hair fluttered in the breeze and his soft skin was slightly glistening.

"Yu...Yuki..." Torhu began, but was cut off by Yuki's soft lips pressing up against hers. His fingers tightened in her hair as he pulled her face closer to his. Yes--she's exactly what I've been waiting for. He deepened the kiss and added a flick of his tongue on her lips. Tohru moaned and allowed him entrance to her mouth. Softly, Yuki rolled around her tongue with his, dancing around the cavern and taking in her sweet smell.

Tohru responded by caressing Yuki's milky smooth cheeks. Her fingers slid around his neck and up his hair line, soliciting a moan from Yuki's throat. I...I think we should stop. This could lead to... Her thoughts trailed off as Yuki released her lips and persuaded her to lie down on his futon. Torhu could smell all of Yuki, completely engulfing her.

He proceeded down her neck, nipping and sucking gently as he descended. Torhu cried out in innocent anguish as he pleasured her sensitive neck. He continued his teasing over to her ears and nibbled some more, Torhu squirming under his body.

Yuki looked up from his work and gazed into her eyes. Lust and innocence looked back at him. She really isn't disgusted by me...she's letting me touch her and kiss her. Yuki could hardly contain himself; her radiance beckoned for him to do more. He began working her kimono open with nimble fingers. Tohru gasped as her breasts were presented to Yuki. He traced a slender finger down her midline and watched as her pink nipples hardened into little buds. Her entire body blushed as he reached down to devour the soft skin of her breast. Yuki could feel the heat rising in him, tempting him to take even more of her body. He could feel his body ache to be with someone, especially her.

He bit down on her nipple and Tohru's body convulsed, her back arching in pleasure. His body was steaming; his organ was on fire. The temperature in his body soared as his own body began trembling. Oh no! he thought. I can't pass...out... Yuki collapsed once again on Tohru, his head cradled between her supple breasts. Tohru rolled him over and could hear him wheezing again.

"Yuki! Are you alright? Yuki..." Tohru blushed at her nakedness as she settled Yuki under the covers. She pushed his hair off his sweaty brow and began dabbing it with a damp towel. Knock knock. Tohru panicked and quickly tied her kimono and fixed her disheveled hair. "Come in," her voice slightly wavering.

Hatori bowed and stepped over the threshold and took in the sight before him. "I guess Yuki is sick. I shall be alone with him now," he said coldly. Torhu sidled out of the room and breathed a sigh of relief. That was a close call. She descended the staircase and walked past the open shoji doors.

"You know, you really ought to be more discreet with your affair with Yuki," Haru stated flatly. "You could get him into some serious trouble with Akito."

"Wh...what kind of trouble?"

Haru leaned against the porch post; night was approaching. "Akito may just lock up our little Rat, and no one will hear from him again..." Lock him up? But, why?

A/N: okay, so I'm getting better at the teasing part. I just don't know what to do about Torhu. I mean, she's so innocent and so flaky, that it makes it difficult writing her into smut. Yes, she's a writer's challenge. Okay...so far: Yuki x Tohru...but there might be a love triangle or two :P

Yuki seems a bit more bold here than in the manga, but it's just to get to the action.

Next chapter: I'm thinking of some yaoi, but who and who? I'll let you pick! Plus, will Tohru ever go to visit Akito? Please review if you want ch 4 posted!

Also, what do you guys really think of my writing? Too bland? Too many teasers? Too much flowery shit and not enough hard core? PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

Thank you to the 5 reviews I've gotten so far. A writer likes to have her work appreciated by others.
