Shigure's eyes widened but slowly obeyed Kazuma's request. Akito shoved Shigure away and glared at Kazuma and then at Kyo.
"You! You wretched cat, you destroyed this family!" snarled Akito.
Kyo growled, taking a step forward. He flinched when Kazuma's hand gripped his shoulder gently, pushing him back to where he was once standing. Kyo looked up at his Shishou with bewildered eyes but Kazuma only smiled down at him and leaned down, kissing him gently on the forehead.
"Stop! I will not tolerate such!" growled Akito, dashing toward Kyo and Kazuma. Yuki let out a whimper and Hatsuharu held him close. Tohru let out a scream before Shigure put his arms around her securely. Kyo took a step back, his fists clenched. Akito let out a angry growl, fist raised and aimed at Kazuma's face. Kazuma dodged it easily, grabbing the fist and pulling Akito close to him, their eyes glaring at one another. Akito squirmed under Kazuma's grip only to have Kazuma break the captured fist, a scream coming from Akito. He then let go, allowing Akito to nurse his now broken hand.
Akito's eyes glared at Kazuma. "How dare you do this to me." Kazuma, in reply, simply looked at him. The others were open-mouthed, eyes widened at what Kazuma had done to Akito. Kyo took a step towards his Shishou.
Akito took his attention to Kyo who had walked towards Kazuma. Kazuma turned to look down at his neko, putting an arm around his waist and pulling him close. He leaned down to kiss Kyo gently which resulted in a blush forming on Kyo's face. Kyo leaned on Kazuma, returning the kiss.
Kazuma broke the kiss, taking his attention to Akito. "As you can see, Akito-sama, neither me nor Kyo are afraid to show our love to you or anyone." Kyo looked up at Kazuma, a smile forming on his face. Akito simply growled, standing straight and walking towards the two. Kazuma simply moved out of the way, his arm pulling Kyo with him as Akito walked out of the house silently.

That afternoon, Shigure, Tohru, Kazuma, Kyo, Haru, and Yuki sat around the table in the living room simply enjoying each other's company. It seemed none of them wanted to talk, all shocked from the event with Akito. Shigure looked at Kazuma and Kazuma looked back at him, sensing question in the other's eyes.
"Is something the matter, Shigure-san?" asked Kazuma.
"Iie, I just wonder what Akito-sama will do. I believe you are the first person to ever really do that to him," answered Shigure.
"Akito-sama will think about it for a long while. Demo...I do know now that he won't mess with Kyo or me after the stunt I pulled," exclaimed Kazuma before taking a sip of his tea. His attention went to Tohru. "Gomen na sai, Honda-san, I did not mean for such actions to be done infront of you. I sure hope I didn't frighten you."
"Eh? Iie, I wasn't bothered at all. And you didn't frighten me," replied Tohru with a smile. Kazuma smiled at her before taking his attention to Haru and Yuki who were sitting across the table from him.
"Sou desu it seems Kyo and I aren't the only couple under this roof," he said in a playful tone which made both Haru and Yuki jump and blushes appear on their faces. Shigure's attention quickly turned the two teens, Kyo almost chocking on his tea after what his Shishou had said.
"You know?" asked Yuki in a silent voice. Kazuma nodded. Yuki blinked, "How?"
"You two were my students and like children to me. Plus never in my life have I seen Haru so calm and you two so close," answered Kazuma.
"So if they are like your children doesn't that make Kyo-kun your son too?" asked Shigure. "Oh what lovely romance."
"It is good to see your sense of humor is back," growled Yuki as Shigure was whacked in the head by Kyo. Tohru giggled at the action as she poured more tea for Kyo.
Kazuma stood, "Kyo, do you want to go on a walk with me?" Kyo looked up at his Shishou and nodded. Kazuma thanked Tohru for the tea before stepping out of the room. Kyo blinked before getting up and following him.
When Kyo caught up with Kazuma he looked up at his Shishou. "Kazuma?" Kazuma didn't answer, instead he simply kept walking. He stopped when they were in the woods behind Shigure's house. Kyo blinked, bewildered by his Shishou's reason for coming out here.
Kazuma looked down at him, a gentle look in his eyes. "Kyo, I love you."
"Eh? I know you do and I love you too," replied Kazuma his hands shaking a little.
"Gomen na sai, for doing that to Akito infront of you."
"Nani? I didn't mind, I was actually glad you did that."
"I am going to let you stay here with Shigure-san like you always have. And as always you can come and see me and we can spend as much time as you please," exclaimed Kazuma.
"Demo...I wanted to live with you!" replied Kyo in a sad tone.
"I know but you still have to go to school and it is easier for you to get there if you stay with Shigure-san. I promise you though that after school you can live with me in the summer," said Kazuma bringing his hand to ruffle Kyo's hair. Kyo smiled up at him before hugging his Shishou. Kazuma returned the embrace, snuggling his head into Kyo's hair. They stayed that way for a while before Kazuma broke the embrace. "It is best if I get going now."
Kyo nodded, his head down. He felt like crying, his heart wanted to be with his Shishou forever and never leave him. It hurt, to be parting from him even it was for a short period of time. He felt selfish but how could it be if he loved him so.
Kazuma put his hand under Kyo's chin so he could lift his head to where he was looking at Kyo's eyes. He bent down ant kissed the Kyo gently. Kyo returned it passionately, his hands clinging to his Shishou's yuukata. (A/N: I act the way Kyo is acting now when my lover has to go.)
They broke the kiss and looked at other for a few seconds. "I need to go, my Kyo. I love you," said Kazuma in a soft voice.
Kyo nodded,"I love you too." Kazuma smiled at him before turning and walking in the direction of his house. Kyo watched him for a long time, wanting to rush after him and join him.

After Kazuma and Kyo had left for their walk, Haru and Yuki decided to sit outside, enjoying the gentle breeze of the afternoon.
"I wonder where they went," asked Haru as he watched a butterfly flutter pass them.
"Don't know, they are taking a while. I was glad Shishou did what he did to Akito. I don't feel so scared anymore about us," exclaimed Yuki who was looking up at the azure sky above them.
Haru looked at his lover, noticing how beautiful the other looked with the sun shining off his hair and the wind playing with it. Those kind eyes and beautiful body, as well as the gentle heart that could only belong to him; he was so glad he feel in love with Yuki. He put an arm around his Yuki, "My love, you had nothing to worry about in the first place. I would have and will always protect you from anyone who wants to seperate us." Yuki smiled, leaning against Haru. He snuggled against Haru, taking in the other's scent, glad that he had such happiness.
