Disclaimer: If I owned it, I'd... oooooo! Anime trailers! -Is completely distracted-

Greetings, my reading-friends! I'm back with Chapter Thirteen - horrah! I got time to write in school today, so, I ultimately praise my Religion teacher for giving me the oppertunity! That, and I didn't have people reading over my shoulder. Which is annoying. Yes, yes it is.

Anywho, I'm not sure I put this, but A Cat's Death Wish is only going to be a 15 part series, so... two chapters to go after this! Whooooot!

Not much else, so I'll sign off now n.n!

Enjoy! (And please review.)


Chapter Thirteen; What have I done?

Haru wanted to run. He didn't know where he was, where he would go, but he wanted to run. His head was swimming with emotions, confusion and all around... something that he couldn't place. He knew he'd been doing something intimate with Kyo – how could he not? It was freaking obvious! Couldn't Black Haru have waited until they had gotten home to ravish Kyo! Wait... that wasn't right!

Haru's hands caught the sides of his face.

Why? WHY? Haru didn't understand. He didn't! Why did he feel so... so... so... like doing everything he was sure he'd done when he was Black again? It wasn't right! Haru liked Yuki! Or... he did up until a little while ago. But he didn't feel that way about Kyo!

... right?

"Haru... I..." Kyo started, noticing Haru's obvious distress. Haru turned to look at him, before completely freaking out again, his hands gripping his hair in confusion.

It was then that Haru decided to run – and he would have done so, if there hadn't been a door in his way, which he happened to walk straight into. Cursing to himself, the cow yanked the door open, and slammed it behind him. He paused momentarily, before running down the hall – hardly looking at where he was going.

He just wanted to get away.


The looks that Kyo got after he emerged the cupboard were odd – but at least he was exiting alone. Various different comments were made about the cat's sullen appearance, but Kyo ignored them. He didn't want to listen to anybody.

Why was Haru so stubborn? Did he really not want to like Kyo the same way? Was it because he was the cat? No... that was stupid. Haru wouldn't patronise him like that. Or... was it because he was a cat? Kyo's face scrunched up in the thought of all the horrible things that Black Haru had done to him. So... why was it... that... Haru had suddenly stopped, and decided to try and make out with him instead?

But... to be honest... what Kyo wanted wasn't just Black Haru, he wanted all of Haru. Even the spaced out White Haru made his hair stand on end along with butterflies in his stomach. It was ridiculous really, because, by the looks of things, he was never going to get Haru.


Haru stormed directly past an equally – still – sulking Yuki, who had a packed lunch. Yuki picked up his chopsticks and paused, listening to Haru's angry mumbles; "o. Damn Kyo. Damn Kyo. Damn Kyo. Da..."

A grin slowly spread across his face. Was his plan working after all?


Why Haru had ended up at Shigure's, the cow had no idea. He wasn't black, but he was annoyed – severely annoyed. It was almost like Black was laughing at him from the depths of his mind!

And, why he ended up sitting in Shigure's study with the working dog was completely beyond him.

"Haru, what a pleasant surprise!" Shigure said happily, pouring over his manuscript as per-usual. "But, tell me, shouldn't you be at school? Unless you're Black. Are you Black, Haru?"

"No."

"Very good then. So, tell me, what do I owe this little visit?"

Haru didn't know why he was there. Had he gone to Shigure for advice? Or... had he just wanted to smother himself in Yuki's stuff to make him like the rat again? Or... had he... had he... alright. So there were only two options. And, because of what he had over heard, the second didn't seem possible.

When Haru didn't reply, Shigure sighed, propping his chin on his hand, turning to look at the confused cow. He read the expression on the cows face, and grinned. "You like Kyo-kun!"

Haru went brick red. "I DO NOT!"

Well, Shigure's comment had been completely out of the blue, but the red rushing to his cheeks... the heat in his face... did that mean that he did like Kyo? Did it? Was he just denying it? Or was he... was he...

"Yes you do." Shigure said, as if it were obvious, breaking Haru out of his thoughts of excuses. "It's pretty obvious."

"But I don't." Haru shot back, looking at the surprisingly polished floor; "Black Haru does."

"Uh-huh." Shigure said, scratching the back of his head, "and this Black Haru a completely different person? Black Haru is a part of you, Haru. The only person you're fooling is yourself."

At that comment, Haru was completely speechless, but far more confused than he had been.


In the end, Haru had smothered his face in familiar scent. He'd grabbed what he thought was Yuki's pillow, and had stuck his entire face in it and breathed in the scent until he almost passed out. Yuki smelt so... calming! There was something about the smell in the room that made Haru not want to leave. In fact, he hadn't planned on falling asleep in the bed, but those kinds of things happen. He only awoke when the door opened.

Haru blinked sleepily, propping his head on his hands, looking at the silhouette in the doorway. Did Yuki cut his hair? Was Yuki slightly taller than usual? Haru's head tilted.

The figure blinked from the doorway; "Haru, what are you doing in my room?"

Okay. Now that was the strangest thing. Why did Yuki sound like Kyo? And, Yuki looked like Kyo too, Haru thought, as the cat walked forward into the room, while Haru was still trying to make his brain work out why Yuki looked like Kyo. Unless... Yuki was Kyo?

"But this is Yu-"

"Yuki's room is the next door down." Kyo snapped, stopping his careful walk towards the cow, he turned around and stormed out of the room. Leaving Haru feeling rather bewildered. He was so sure that this was Yuki's room! After all, the smell was so comforting...

But it had ended up being Kyo's smell.


Kyo was furious. He stormed down the stairs, past Tohru, out the door, up his ladder and onto the roof – on which he made sure to stamp just as hard so that everybody knew just how pissed off he really was!

The reason he was so angry was pretty much self explanatory. Haru was still trying to cling onto that damn rat! It made him so angry! What was wrong with him that made him so repulsive to Haru? Was it his smell? Did he smell?

Kyo sniffed his armpits.

He didn't smell any worse than usual. Was it his intellect? Well, he was fairly sure that he was three times more intelligent than White Haru, Black Haru was probably just more cunning than intelligent – however that worked. Okay. So maybe Kyo wasn't the smartest cookie in the batch. Maybe it was his personality? But, what was so wrong with it? Kyo didn't find anything remotely wrong with his personality – other than the fact he was brash, loud and rude. But, ultimately, more than anything, Kyo boiled it down to one fact. Haru was to damn stubborn.

"Stupid cow." Kyo muttered, lying on his back and staring up at the sky – not directly into the sun, which would have been a stupid thing to do – and pondered. He would... wait. He decided. Wait until Haru had sorted out his feelings. And, if in the end, Haru did feel the same way – then great! If he didn't... Kyo rolled over to his side, ignoring what his possible reaction might be.
