Chapter 6
Pairings: Yuki Kyo
This chapter starts with Kyo! Joy to the cat lovers. It's been hard to start with him because I felt as if mental disorders/problems deserved immediate attention. Now don't worry, the story is far from over but I thought I should get this out of the way. The story on the whole is dedicated to Ororon but this particular chapter is dedicated to adi88.

About damn time I get out of here. Kyo had finally proven that he could go home, his old flare had returned. Hatori would take him home around noon and the neko couldn't wait. "As soon as I get home! I can't have sex, that's a downer, but he's all mine!"
"Talking to yourself Kyonkichi? And about sleeping with my dear younger brother." Kyo dropped the glass he had been holding, spilling water and blushing profusely in the process.
"Yeah, what about it! You talk to hear yourself speak all the time!" Ayame smiled grimly and sat next to his younger cousin, handing him a towel as well. "…Thanks…" The hebi nodded and played with the sleeve of his kimono. The neko knew in his heart that something was seriously wrong. He allowed the silence to go on for a bit longer before snapping. "What the hell is your problem!"
"Oh…I…nothing is wrong with me especially."
"I asked if anything was wrong…its Yuki isn't it?" Ayame sighed and bowed his head, his platinum tresses falling over his face.
"He's been distant. Gure-san says its just like when he was younger. When he was at home with 'Kassan…alone really." (see details in Volume 12) Kyo twisted the towel in his grasp.
Yuki never told me…I don't know what his parents are like…I never even asked. I guess I wanted him to just tell me. Damn! I should've asked him on my own!
"By the look on your face Kyonkichi I assume you don't know what his 'home' life was like? He was confined to his room, no one was allowed to visit. Haru snuck in at times…sometimes even bringing Rin with him. But mostly he was alone, alone with a brother who didn't know he existed, or rather I paid him no mind, a mother that looked down upon him as if he were a pathetic…rodent…and a father who was only around long enough to hurt him. (I'm not sure what his dad was like so I made his personality up) Even away from the man who was once our God he was reminded of the 'lessons' Akito was so fond of teaching him."
Kyo began to mull over his own life in comparison with his lovers. Aya left him in silence as long as he needed it. Only a few times in his life was the hebi determined to remain silent and calm, one such time was when Ha'ri's eye had been injured.
"Ayame…"
"Yes Kyonkichi?"
"When is Hatori coming for me?" Aya's smile returned quickly as he pulled a set of keys from his pocket. "No…no you can't…I won't." Ayame's grin widened.
"Ah but I can and you will young Kyonkichi. Don't worry, Ha'ri taught me to drive. You do want to see your Prince, or should I say Princess, again don't you?" All Kyo could do was hope for the best.

A white kitten was curled up quite comfortably on Kyo's pillow. It was the same kitten that Kyo had chased after. I should name him…Momen. "I'll call you Momen." (Momen means cotton ball, that's for you adi88) The kitten made no reply, he was fast asleep. I haven't had a pet in a long time. Not since Tsubuki. (Tsubuki means snowstorm)
(Flashback)
Yuki stepped outside carrying a glass cage, inside was a single white mouse with dark gray eyes. Rin and Haru spotted him easily, it wasn't often the small boy was outside unattended. "Haru-chan you don't like him do you?"
"No! It's all his fault!" She giggled and picked up a pale. It was full of ice cold soapy dirty water, her parents had told her to dump it out. With the quickest of movements Rin dumped the grimy water onto her cousin. (is Yuki older or younger than her?)
"Ah!" Yuki screamed in shock as the water splashed over his body. Because the cage was glass his wet fingers couldn't hold onto it, it smashed to the ground, shattering the glass. Tsubuki was frightened and shot out of her now wrecked cage to her master, who was now shivering.
A still giggling Rin came outside with Haru in tow carrying a small Tabby cat. She nudged it in Yuki and Tsubuki's direction. The frightened white mouse ran from her master and the approaching cat. "No! Don't run away, please." The rat stepped forward and tripped, cutting himself on the shattered glass. He stood on shaky, bleeding legs and tried to shake the glass from the wounds on his palms.
By now Yuki was crying and trying to find him mouse. He had no such luck. He had run past Shigure who promptly picked him up and carried him, bridal style, to the Sohma clinic. The whole way Yuki squirmed in the inu's arms crying about Tsubuki.
After that Yuki didn't want another pet, not that his mother would've gotten him one even if he asked; she was reluctant to let him have Tsubuki to begin with.
(End Flashback)
Yuki sat watching his new kitten until his brothers voice roused him from his daze. "Oh little brother of mine! My darling Yuki I have brought the ever fistey Kyonkichi with me!"
"Damn it! Don't call me Kyonkichi," Aya opened his mouth once more, "or Kyo-Kyo!"
Yuki's gaze had shifted from the now awake and startled kitten to the window. He felt his mattress sink and hoped to high Heaven that it wasn't his Nii-san coming closer. Warm tan arms encircling him demolished that thought. "Miss me?"
There was no answer, not with words. In that instant when Kyo held him again Yuki's tears began to fall once more. He couldn't get enough of this heat and light that seemed to emit from his lover. First warm tears slid down glassy cheeks then warm lips clashed with chapped ones.
Kyo held his lover tighter after he had turned and began the kiss. To Kyo it tasted salty, and like battery acid (the albuterol remember), but more importantly it tasted like Yuki. The cat was far too afraid of what Yuki would think if he let go to question why there was a cat in the room, or if doing this near Ayame was okay.
The kiss broke when Yuki desperately needed air, he was dizzy from lack of it. "I missed you so much! I…I don't ever want you to leave me, I need you so much." He was crying even harder now into Kyo's chest, clutching his shirt. Kyo stroked his head and hair making soothing noises.
Yuki's ear was pressed firmly to his lovers' chest so he could hear his steady heartbeat. "I'll take care of you Kyo I promise." The cat held the nezumi tighter and Ayame excused himself from the dorm and headed back to Shigure's house.

TBCSorry for the long wait you guys. I really didn't mean to make you wait this long. I've been beaten down by aggressive allergies and killer headaches, which are totally unrelated.
Spring Break is finally over and it is kind of a nice thing to see my friends at school but I did like the solitude.
One more time this is to Alice or adi88.
