This is the much awaited sequel to "All I'll Ever Be." Now that I am finally over my illness, it turns out I had a bad case of stomach flu and something else that was aggregating my asthma, I am able to post once again. Well faithful readers, enjoy.

…All I'll ever be…
…Mine…
Those words, those words that had caused Yuki so much pain as a child were now the same words that he yearned to hear. It was his link to Kyo when they were apart. Not that it happened that often. Now a days Yuki and Kyo were practically joined at the hip.
School was going all right for them both, better for the rat, but okay nonetheless. Yuki wanted to teach and Kyo, surprise surprise wanted to get a degree in entrepreneurship. (Owning and managing a business of any type.) He wanted to take over his masters' dojo and maybe open a few of his own.
There they were, lying in bed, it was well past ten a.m. and even the smell of sweets wafting in from their open window was not enough to wake the young lovers. Yuki was still as horrible as ever in the morning, he had however gotten over the shock of waking up in a mass of warm limbs. (Like when Yuki woke up and fell out of bed.)
The rat's head was resting on the cat's chest and it was tucked gently under his lover's tanned chin. The neko's breathing was tousling Yuki's already mussed hair. They had both fallen asleep after a night of "passion." It was slow sweet and it had started because they were remembering.
They thought of all those buried memories and emotions. Every yell, punch, kick, kiss, caress, and breath they'd had together.
"Yuki, it's time to wake up…Yuki…" Kyo let his hand dance gently across his lover's smooth back and kissed him on the forehead. The nezumi sifted enough for the neko to leave the warmth of the bed. It was a Saturday and they were going to go out later, assuming Yuki decides to wake at a decent hour.
By the time Kyo was completely dressed Yuki was just stepping onto the hardwood floors. "Cold…" He tried to lie back down but Kyo wouldn't have it. He pulled his drowsy lover out of bed, admiring his nude form, and then gave him some clothes. Casual but beautiful, a light purple button-up shirt and black pants that were only the slightest bit tight around the rat's thighs.
Kyo had donned his usual tight black tee that showed his stomach but opted the cargo pants for some gray, black, and white camo pants. Yuki hugged his lover and let out a contented breath against his tan neck. "Where are you taking me Koneko?" Said kitten brushed his rat's hair out of his face and gave him a 'like-I'm-gonna-tell' look.

They weren't holding hands, Yuki was still too self-conscious for that, Kyo too but the rat was a little more blunt about his low self-esteem issues. They were walking down a main street near their college. It was a nice day out and it seemed perfect, too perfect for Yuki.
I feel like any minute something is going to steal Kyo away from me. Yuki reached out and squeezed Kyon's hand for a fleeting second, long enough to earn him a worried but happy smile, then let his hand drop to his side.
I feel like today is going way to perfect. Damn it! Why do I always have to be so negative!
"Meow." Kyo snapped out of his ranting when a small kitten ran out in front of him and Yuki. It was a small white one with blue eyes. Probably deaf, poor little guy. Kyo went to pick him up but he ran out into the street after there was a loud screeching noise coming from around the corner.
"Maybe not deaf…" He ran out after the cat.
"Kyo! Kyo wait!" Coming around the corner was a car, a cop car, it was speeding right towards Kyo and the kitten, which was almost on the other side of the street.
In reality it took only a few seconds, but to Yuki it took an eternity. There were cop cars on each side of the street and a man holding a gun was in between them next to Kyo. The cops opened fire and they hit the criminal, but one hit Kyo in the chest.
A man was holding Yuki back. He was screaming, crying and thrashing violently. "Kyo! Kyo! Kyo no! You can't leave, Kyo! Kyo! Kyo!" Yuki's crying continued but eventually Yuki sank to his knees and his lovers name became a chant whispered on his breath. The man holding him slackened his grip but Yuki had no will to move forward.
Kyo, his Kyo who had been so strong, who had loved him, who had taken care of him when he needed it, was lying in the street bleeding to death. Yuki couldn't hear the sounds of cop sirens, screams, or gunshots anymore; all he could hear was his own heartbeat thundering in his ears.
The rat was still chanting Kyo's name when he arrived at the hospital. It was quieter still and it came now in longer intervals. Hatori would arrive shortly but until then Yuki felt just as small and helpless as he had when Akito was still alive. He had been so happy that morning, lying in his lovers' tanned and warm arms; now he was hugging his knees in the corner of a hospital waiting room, crying into his limbs.
I love you. Please don't die.
…All I'll ever be…
He's dead and I still feel him controlling me.
Kyo's body wasn't completely gone, but it was still uncertain at that moment to Hatori, who had entered sometime during Yuki's wallowing, whether or not Yuki's sanity was still salvageable.

Sorry about the long wait on the sequel. For the longest time I was unsure of how I would finish the first chapter. In the end I got inspiration from a friend who asked this one favor of me. She likes the story where the uke has to take control because of a sudden tragedy. This is for you Stephanie Gaulmer.
No I will not kill Kyo, I am not that much of a sadist.
