The next day Kyo walked to Shigure's house to wait for Haru. He felt guilty that he hadn't waited at school, knowing Haru's poor sense of direction, but brushed it off. After his homework was done he went out and sat on the roof. Instead of the sun, however, thick, black clouds greeted him, and almost immediately it began to rain. Kyo felt weary instantly, and he knew he had to find Haru before dark, so he set out to find him.

After a few moments, however, thunder cracked through the air, and lighting lit the sky. Kyo grew worried; where was Haru? Suddenly there was a loud crack of thunder, and it was but a few feet away from him. A yelp was heard, and he headed towards the noise.

"Haru!" he screamed. As if on cue, Haru, who was extremely frazzled (and soaking wet...hot!), jumped through the trees.

"Kyo!" he cried.

"What the fuck happened!"

"I got lost." Haru sighed. "I'm sorry, Kyo -,"

POOF!

Kyo had transformed into the cat, and after a moment his bright orange fur was sopping wet. Haru picked up the dripping cat and sighed.

"Where's Shigure's house?" he asked.

"Straight ahead," Kyo mumbled. After a while, they were back at Shigure's house, and Haru ran inside quickly. Nobody was home, but there was a note:

Kyo,

If you're back before us, we went to the market. See you in a while!

-Tohru

Haru smiled. Tohru was such a sweetheart; he hoped she and the others were okay. Then he turned to Kyo.

"Come on, baby kitty," he said sweetly. Kyo growled at him.

"What the hell did you just call me, cowboy?" he asked as Haru pulled him into the bathroom. He grabbed a towel and dried off the cat quickly before returning to the main room and sitting down with Kyo in his lap.
"Haru, what -," Kyo started to talk, but Haru reached up and stroked his fur gently, and as much as he didn't want to admit it...the cat had to admit it felt pretty nice.

Suddenly a low sound emerged from the cat's mouth, and Haru grinned. "I didn't know you could purr, baby kitty."

"Oh, will you just be quiet!" Kyo snapped, embarrassed. He didn't know for sure, but if he was human he knew his face was probably the color of his hair right about now. Haru lifted the cat's chin and looked into his deep crimson eyes.

"But I think it's cute," he whispered sincerely. "I think everything about you is cute." He smiled and scratched the cat's ears dotingly; Kyo leaned forward and nudged his cold, wet nose against Haru's cheek, purring quietly. Haru smiled warmly at him.

"Baby kitty," he said sweetly, lying on his side. Kyo curled up beside him and nestled into his chest when suddenly -

POOF!

He turned back into a human, and with a yelp he fell off the couch. "Dammit, where are my clothes?"

"Uh-oh," Haru said. He'd forgotten them! Kyo figured this out by the look on his face and sighed.

"It's okay, Haru," he whispered gently. Then he sneezed.

"You getting sick on me, baby kitty?" Haru asked.

"No, it's just chilly today." He sighed. "I'm so fucking cold..."

"Take a shower." Haru smiled as Kyo nodded and walked into the bathroom, slamming the door behind him. After a few minutes Haru decided to sneak in on his little kitty. Silently he walked in and stared at Kyo, who didn't seem to notice him.

He was wrong. "Do you honestly think, Haru, that I'm that oblivious?" Kyo asked, turning to grin at him. Haru shrugged.

"Meh," he said indifferently, sitting on the counter. "I was just checking on you."

"More like checking me out," Kyo smirked, licking his lips slowly.

"Oh shut up," Haru said, blushing. Kyo turned the water off and shook his head like a cat would after falling in a lake; only now his hair was slightly messy, hanging in his eyes like he was a goth with orange hair.

"That's a sorry excuse for a hairstyle, you know that?" Haru said playfully. Kyo's crimson eyes glittered as he wrapped a towel around his waist, and he gave Haru a warm smile. It was the first time Haru had ever seen Kyo smile genuinely, and it gave him chills.

"Like your hair is any better," Kyo laughed, walking over to him. Haru ran his fingers through his soaking fiery hair, almost flirtatiously, and stepped closer to Kyo.

"Cowboy," Kyo said, wrapping his arms around Haru's hips, "what are you up to now?"

"What makes my baby kitty so suspicious?" Haru said sweetly. Kyo blushed.

"...your baby kitty?"

Haru turned red also. "Oh, I - um, that is -,"

"If you say so." Kyo cut him off with a quick kiss on the lips and remained near Haru's face, their breath mingling together in the thick, steamy air. Kyo looked up at him, fear of rejection in his eyes.

"Did you just...?" Haru started to say, touching his mouth. It tingled from Kyo's warm kiss, and he found himself wanting more; he leaned closer and cupped Kyo's chin in his palms before letting his tongue dart out to lick his lips. Kyo let out a soft moan and wrapped his arms around Haru's waist, pushing up against his body. Then he parted his lips and caught Haru's tongue, sucking it gently and giving it a few soft, tiny lovenips.

"Mnh, Kyo, that feels nice..." Haru smiled and returned the favor, kissing Kyo tenderly while running his fingers through his hair. Soon they pulled away, gasping for breath. Haru licked his lips seductively, staring at Kyo with an intense, smoldering gaze; he slid around behind him and linked his arms around his waist.

"Kyo," he whispered, "do you like it when I do this?" He leaned forward slightly and began to nibble on his ear, kissing and sucking the tender skin. Kyo let out a soft gasp of surprise and almost fell over as his legs began to feel wobbly.

"No...don't stop," he moaned as Haru's lips pulled away. Haru chuckled quietly, and Kyo growled in frustration. "Dammit, Haru, you're such a tease!"

"Yep." Haru reached up and traced Kyo's lips with his fingertips, becoming almost completely oblivious to the world around him.

"Hey cowboy," Kyo said quietly. "You know how I said I liked someone else?"

"Mm-hmm."

"I was talking about you." Kyo closed his eyes and placed a tiny kiss on Haru's cheek. Haru smiled and wrapped his arms around his waist again.

"I'm glad to hear that, baby kitty."

Ooh, Kyon-Kyon loves cowboy! I must say, this is one of my favorite yaoi pairings. It's so damn hot. I'm sorry, but it is!

Hope you likey so far; gomen nasai, but the actual sex isn't coming until much later. This is one of my longer fics.

Tell me what you think so far!
