Chapter Five: Home Again

His vision blurred. A sharp pain hit him in the head soon followed by his knees cracking as they hit the ground. The world around him just didn't seem to want to hold still. He looked up at the man who had hit him, trying to figure out what was going on. 'I had been hit, now I can't see straight...' He could only make out what was in plain sight, not why or how he had gotten him self into this mess, Kyo.....That name, it was the name of the boy he loved, and hated. He was so far from himself surrounded by a chilling darkness (an evil dark, 'cuz not all dark is bad!!) Then, something rough and wet hit his lips, he could barley see, all he could do was sit there. WAM!! And just like that it was gone, the wet on his lips, the painful embrace the throbbing on his knees. Gone, all gone. But, now instead warm loving arms came around him holding him tightly, he was so tired, all he wanted to do was sleep, to rest.

"Yuki, come on, wake up." A kind voice came to him, not a new voice, but a new tone, a loving concerned tone. One that Yuki had never heard Kyo use before. He opened his eyes slowly letting in what little bit of light there was come in and soon, he found him self laying with his back to Kyo, head resting on his chest. Kyo was on his knees holding him up, running his fingers through his hair, it was a gentle, nice touch.

"Kyo..."

"Are you alright?" Kyo was still speaking in that same abnormal kind voice.

"Yeah, I'm fine--" Yuki's words were cute off as a gentle, warm, touch came to his lips Kyo had leaned down, and started to kiss him, Yuki was slightly shocked at the sudden move, but, he closed his eyes, enjoying the moment, for he knew it would not last long.

Kyo pulled back moments later breaking the kiss, as he did, Yuki looked up at him, his eyes shimmering in the light.

"W-what happened?"

"This guy was kissing you, and you looked kind of out of it."

"Oh."

"And, it looked like he beat you up."

"I didn't get beat up."

"Yeah, well, he caused some minor damage."

"So, how did you beat him if I couldn't?"

"I don't know.. My vision went red, and I lost control." Kyo's words sounded kind as they had not lost there softness yet, and the thought alone, of Kyo getting that strong from anger, just to protect him was, well nice, not that he needed protection.

"Well we better get going, I'm fine now," Yuki got to his feet and looked at Kyo, he was okay. The man hadn't raped him, he was just stalking him, which meant, he could never be alone again, or next time, he might. But, of course he couldn't tell Kyo this, the last thing he needed was him worrying about him.

"You sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure."

Kyo didn't really believe him. But Yuki was so stubborn and persistent; it was a waste of time and energy trying to convince him otherwise. Besides, Yuki would tell him when he was ready. By this time, Yuki had gotten a cart and was throwing cans in it, and Kyo soon joined him, "JACKPOT!!" Yuki ran over to see what Kyo had found, it was a four 80 pound bags of rice, that were in storage, "This will go great with some soup and salmon!"

"No way in hell you'll find salmon at this time if year."

"Yeah, I know. Too bad. But, I better get this to the wagons." And he was off with one bag of rice over each shoulder. He always tried to act so macho but, after all, they were heavy bags...

After around 15 minutes of getting some food, he walked down the last row, which, was the pet row. He looked around, just for the hell of it, and spotted a lot of catnip. He smirked and wondered how Kyo would react. So, he grabbed the lot of it and went off to the now, totally full wagons, only to find Kyo waiting for him.

"Are you, er, ready to go now?"

"Yeah, I guess so, we have more then enough food," Yuki said smiling as he put the paper bag that was filled with catnip in the wagon. Kyo's nose twitched and he looked at the bag.

"What's that?"

"Oh nothing, and don't argue with me, I have a headache." He said truthfully, the light hurt his eyes, but he didn't dare telling Kyo how sensitive he was now. He would just have to wait until it went away on its own. He glanced at Kyo who was staring at a wide path in the snow that looked to be a trail back to the house.

"The rats?"

"Yep." And with that they set off to the house. But, unlike the one they had coming, the walks was certainly not a quite one, Kyo kept asking Yuki who 'that man' was and what he wanted. Yuki kept telling him he didn't want to talk about it. Kyo kept saying he didn't care, he needed to know. This went on for about 20 minutes, and by this time, Yuki had tears streaming down his cheeks, for all he knew, Eacto was following him right now waiting for him to be alone. The fact that he had a stalker... scared him, it scared him a lot.

"Yuki,"

"Shut-up!"

"I'm sorry, I'm- I'm just worried about you!!" Yuki froze and looked at Kyo, it was a cold day in hell when he ever admitted that he was worried, or scared about anything,

"Listen, Kyo, I'm fine. Don't worry about me, I promise, it'll be okay, I'll be okay, and so will you, and-"he had to stop talking, he was still crying, and he just couldn't hold back any longer. Yuki let go, he let him self break in to a full-out sob. He stood there, his teardrops making small dots in the snow beneath him. It wasn't long before Kyo had grabbed Yuki's arm and pulled him in to a warm, loving embrace. Yuki put his arms around Kyo's waste, and hid his face in his shoulder and cried.

"Ssssshhhhhh, Yuki, it'll be okay."

"N-no it won't, y-you have no idea what h-he said to me."

"No, but, I will when you tell me."

"No, I-I can't."

"Yes you can."

"Okay, b-but," Yuki shifted his head so his mouth was right by Kyo's ear, "he said, he had been following me around, since he was 15."

"What? So you've had a stalker foe about 1 year?"

"No, when he was 15, I was 5."

"Eeewwww! A pedophile!"

"Yeah, I know, and he's probably still following me," At this, Kyo tightened his embrace on Yuki. He looked around, and there, he saw it, something move in the bushes, but, that could be anything.

"Well after I showed up, he ran away. After we fought, that is." Yuki smiled, he had stopped crying by now, and was ready to start walking, and so they did.

After about 10 minutes of walking and silence, they were home. And just as it was starting to snow again, Yuki and Kyo made a run for the door, and went inside quickly. After garbing a bundle of fire wood, that is.

He was home, the perfect place to get him off guard. Eacto smiled to himself as he stood outside the Shoma house. He had been scared away so easily by the red-head, but, it made things more... interesting. He would have Yuki, even if it was the last thing he did.

A.N: Well there you go. Even more plot! And don't forget a lemon chapter is coming!!
