Now on with the fic!

Shigure sighed to himself as he sat down to work, only he didn't have a need to work right now. He wanted to go mess with Kyo but he needed his sleep. It's only been a day and he was already used to Kyo hanging around him. Now he was bored without the feisty kitty to poke fun at. Shigure glanced at his porch, imaging a naked tanned skinned, red-orange hair beauty… even if Kyo himself didn't think so.

Shigure sighed and got up to go to Kyo's room. I'll just watch him as he sleeps. Does that make me weird? He thought as he walked into Kyo's room and closed the door. He smiled as he looked at Kyo's sleeping face. He looked at Angel as she walked up to him and rubbed up against his leg. Shigure bent down to pick her up and sat by Kyo. He sighed as he watched him sleep. His eyes roved over his body, taking in the pieces of naked flesh his small black tank top didn't cover until his gaze stopped at his waist which was covered by his blanket. Shigure reached out a hand to run his fingers through Kyo's soft hair and trailed his fingers down his sensitive neck. Kyo groaned softly and unconsciously moved his head so Shigure could have better access to his neck. Shigure smiled when he did that. He noticed the quick movement underneath Kyo's eye lids and moved his hand to run his fingers through his hair again as a calming gesture. His frowned in his sleep and squirmed around, his breathing labored. Shigure moved his hand away and brought it to his forehead.

"Damn it. He's running a fever." Shigure set Angel down and quickly left to get a bowl full of ice water, a washcloth, and the thermometer. When he came back, Kyo was panting softly and sweat was marring his brow. He turned Kyo's head to the side so he could place the thermometer in his ear… 104° degrees. Not good. He quickly got to work and placed a cool washcloth on Kyo's forehead… and waited.

Kyo's fever finally broke after two hours and was now sleeping peacefully. There was a moment when Shigure thought that he was going to die because his temperature was steadily getting higher but then went back down an hour into his watch. Shigure sighed and ran his fingers through Kyo's hair. "What would have happened to you had I not come up here?" He'd probably be dead, He thought grimly to himself. He sighed again and brought his hand down towards Kyo's lips to run his thumb across his full bottom lip and closed his eyes. "I could have lost you that quickly kitten." He whispered.

"I'm not gonna leave you, 'Gure…" Shigure's eyes snapped open at that then smiled when he saw Kyo was still asleep.

Shigure stroked his cheek and kissed his forehead. He pulled back and saw a small smile adorning Kyo's face. "I know you won't kitten."

Yuki smiled to himself as he listened in on Shigure and Kyo. They would make a cute couple, He thought as he walked off to his room to finish the rest of his English homework.

pqpqpqp

When Kyo next awoke, it was dark outside. A quick glace at his clock told him it was 11:30. Shit. I must have missed dinner. He sat up slowly and looked around his room. Why didn't Shigure wake me up like he said he would? When he heard the door opening to admit Shigure, Kyo was ready to give him an earful until he saw the tray he carried.

Shigure smiled when he saw that Kyo was up. "I'm glad you're up Kyo. After that fever, I thought you'd sleep longer."

Kyo looked confused and felt his forehead. "I had a fever?"

Shigure sat the tray over Kyo's legs and ran his fingers through Kyo's hair. "Yes. You gave me quite a scare for a minute there." Kyo heard the fear in Shigure's voice and felt bad for making him worry.

Kyo pulled Shigure towards him and hugged him around the neck, burying his face in Shigure's neck. "I'm sorry for making you worry." He said softly.

"Nonsense, Kyo. It wasn't your fault." He replied taking a good long whiff of Kyo and noticing his scent was slightly different again. He mentally shook it off and pulled Kyo back. "Well, enough of that. Take your medicine and eat up."

"But what about getting some cat food for Angel?"

"I already asked. And surprisingly, Yuki was strangely more than happy to help get Angel her cat food." Kyo raised an eyebrow in disbelief. "Really he was. Now eat up. You have to keep up your strength."

Kyo sighed. Shigure was going into mother hen mode again. "Fine." He grumbled as he took his medicine while Shigure smiled in triumph. Shigure quickly kissed Kyo on the cheek and ran off to take his medicine back before the shock wore off.

Kyo shook his head and continued eating. "Humph. Bastard."

Angel meowed and Kyo glanced at her and smiled. "Well, I guess he isn't that much of a bastard but a bastard nonetheless."

Kyo started back eating his fish but was eyeing the piece of cheesecake on his tray and taking furtive glances at the door. He was contemplating whether to eat his dinner last and eat the dessert first or not. So far, the dessert was winning. After waiting another three minutes, Kyo put his chopsticks down and picked up the cheesecake, licking his lips in anticipation. Taking one more glance at the door, Kyo sought to indulge himself and eat his dessert first.

pqpqpqp

Yuki walked up to Kyo's room after he'd finish eating dinner and stood in front of his door. After all, Shigure had informed Tohru and him that Kyo had had a fever, which is why he wasn't joining them for dinner. Tohru had wanted to check on Kyo right then and there but Shigure convinced her that Kyo needed his rest and it'd be best if he was undisturbed although that didn't apply to him, of course.

So Yuki thought it'd be better if he checked on Kyo himself after dinner since Kyo would most likely be up. And all of that led up to why he was standing in front of Kyo's door now instead of taking a shower at the moment.

He knocked on the door and upon hearing no answer, walked inside. Now he wished he'd waited for an answer. His eyes bulged as he watched Kyo eat his cheesecake in total bliss.

Kyo was slowly eating his cheesecake, his generously cherry topped cheesecake, which seemed to be smothered in cherry syrup that was slowly sliding down the cake and on to his fingers. He plucked one of the cherries off the cake and sucked on the cherry and licked off the syrup with that sinful pink tongue before plopping it into his mouth, moaning in pure pleasure all the way. He repeated this process until he'd finished his cake then proceeded to lick his fingers clean of the sticky substance. Yuki was sure, now, that the stuff Kyo did unconsciously had to be categorized as soft-core porn. I have got to stop walking in on these situations. He mentally sighed.

Kyo sighed, wishing he had another piece of cake, and started to eat his dinner again, only noticing Yuki when he heard some movement by the door. Kyo gave Yuki a confused look. Why was Yuki in his room? When did he get into his room? He set his bowl down and waited for Yuki to say something.

Yuki quickly got his brain to function right and was glad his shirt hung over his crotch or Kyo would definitely see the hard-on he was now sporting. He had to make this quick before he came in his pants. "I was just checking to see if you were feeling alright. Shigure told us you had a fever."

"Yeah. I feel better now."

"That's good to hear. Well, good night." Yuki smiled and hurriedly left and got some clothes to change into before practically running for the bathroom and taking a nice long hot shower. He wanted to enjoy this one this time.

pqpqpqp

Kyo sighed to himself and finished eating right before Shigure walked in. He set his empty bowl on the tray and glared at Shigure.

"What did I do now?" He whined as he plopped himself down beside Kyo on the futon.

"Must you tell that damn rat when I'm not feeling well?"

"You don't like that he cares?" Shigure asked with a smirk.

Kyo blushed and looked away. "That's… that's not it. I… He… He just gets all weird around me when he's trying to be nice, like he's forcing himself. If he has to force himself he might as well leave me the hell alone."

Shigure pulled Kyo to him and rested his chin on top of his head. "I don't think that's it. You know, you two have been enemies for as long as I can remember. Him suddenly having feelings for you, even just in the family sense, besides anger and hate must be hard for him to deal with and he has no idea how to act around you or know how to express himself towards you." Shigure smiled and ran his fingers up and down Kyo's arm, sending pleasurable chills down Kyo's arm. "Sort of like a certain angry kitten I know of."

"I'm not angry."

"Oh?"

"I guess I'm more confused about a lot of things. And stop that."

"Why?" He ran the tips of his fingers down Kyo's arm and caressed his wrist before moving down and massaging the palm of his hand. "Does it feel good?" He asked in his ear seductively, giving the rim of his ear a nice slow lick.

Kyo whimpered at that and yanked his hand, and his head, away. "Pervert." He mumbled before turning to look at him and saw a very pleased smile plastered on his face. Kyo scowled, "Now are going to listen to me or try to molest me again?"

"Fine, fine. I'll listen." He said, holding up his hands to show he meant it.

Kyo eyed him a moment before leaning back against him and resting his head on his shoulder. "Good boy." He said with a smirk. Shigure rolled his eyes and sighed before wrapping his arms around Kyo's slim waist.

"Now what were you saying before you rudely interrupted my fun?"

"I was saying that things I hadn't really paid attention to before are starting to confuse me. Like these feelings I'm having. I used to be able to ignore them to the point that I didn't even think I could have them anymore."

"Feelings like what?"

"Feelings like I'm having for you." He said softly, blushing like mad.

This sparked Shigure's interest. "Continue."

"Well, before I got sick, you were the one that made me self-conscious about myself. Before, I never cared if anyone thought I was nice to look at because everyone stayed away from like I had the plague. Then I met you. You were always happy and fun to be around and I found myself admiring how easy it was for you to smile. I always thought that you were at least bi with how the way you mess with Ayame. So… I used to always entertain the thought that maybe you would flirt with me instead of Ayame or, now, Tohru and wondered if you saw me as the ugly monster everyone made me out to be. I didn't know why I felt that way. I mean, I never cared about anyone other than Kazuma but you were just easy for me to like and talk to. You even let me into your home when no one else would because I was a 'monster'. You never said I was a monster and never treated me as such. You just always treated me as your cousin. Nothing more, nothing less. At some time that admiration turned into love without me even knowing the difference between the two but that's the only thing it could be. I don't hate you; I don't envy you… well, maybe a little. But I'm not supposed to love so I hid it behind anger like everything else and that's the way I've slowly become without me even noticing and I buried that feeling of love as deep as I could so it wouldn't come back to cause me any more pain and suffering. I guess it didn't work as well as I had hoped." He said as he looked up and gave Shigure a watery smile.

Shigure was about to say something but Kyo stopped his response by placing a finger on his lips. "Let me finish. I need to get this out before I lose my nerve." Shigure nodded and let Kyo finish. "Then after I got sick, you were the one to take care of me. I was a little embarrassed to have you drying me in such… private areas but glad it was you. Then you stayed by my side all night and even the next day. You never touched me before I got sick and when you touched me so intimately, I didn't know if you were being feely-touchy or what. I didn't know what to make of you then. At first, I thought you were just trying to take advantage of me because no matter how much I like you you're still a pervert. Then when you didn't try to rape me, I figured you were sincere in your concerns for me and maybe you had the same feelings I did. I mean, you didn't treat Yuki this way when he got sick. You fed me, let me sit on your lap, and you even… kissed me. It just made me feel so… loved and wanted. My heart just swelled with so much emotion I thought it would just burst. That's why I don't mind you sniffing me so blatantly instead of just the whiffs anyone of the Zodiac can smell. It lets me know that you find me desirable. Even if it's just until I get better, these have been the best days of my life."

Kyo is in love with me? All this time and I never even knew. I was hiding my feelings for nothing? I could've had him in all kinds of positions by now!

"Shigure?"

Shigure shook his head and had to fight the urge to kiss Kyo silly. "Sorry. I zoned out for a second there. Well, as far as I can tell… you're in love with me. There's nothing to be confused about now on that subject."

"Hmm…" Kyo closed his eyes, happy that he finally got that off his chest, even if Shigure didn't return his feelings. It felt like a huge weight has been lifted off his shoulders.

"God, I want to kiss you like there's no tomorrow."

Kyo's eyes snapped open at that and he stared at Shigure in disbelief. "What?"

"Do you know how happy you've just made me, kitten?"

Apparently the shock still hadn't worn off. "What?"

Shigure smiled and kissed Kyo's cheek. "I want to kiss you so badly but you're sick. I might not catch the flu just from being around you but I'm sure I'll get it if I do the things I want to do to you right now."

Kyo blushed like mad. "Really? You really feel the same way about me? It's not just… sex?"

"No, silly. The main reason I offered to let you stay at my house was so I could be around you all the time. Though I must admit, I'm not at all adverse to the sex."

Kyo smiled widely and hugged Shigure around the neck tightly. "I'm SO happy!"

"As if I couldn't tell."

"Shut up." Kyo pulled away, a sudden thought registering in his mind. "So that's why you were always touching me! You really are a pervert."

Shigure shrugged. "What can I say? It was easier to cop a feel when you were too weak to beat the tar out of me."

Kyo glared at him then smiled seductively and wrapped his arms around Shigure's neck again, running his fingers through his hair. "Well, when I get better you won't have to worry about me beating the tar out of you if you want to cop a feel. My body is all yours to do whatever you want to it… To me." Kyo purred in his ear, giving it a lick, swirling his tongue around the rim.

Shigure shivered at the contact. Who would've known that Kyo could be such a little cock tease? Shigure forced his erection down which wasn't an easy task to do when Kyo continued to do naughty things with his tongue.

Shigure pulled Kyo away who was smirking at the flustered dog. "I can play too."

"I never doubted you couldn't for a second, Kyo. I knew you were an undercover freak. Now you should be getting to sleep. It's 11:30." He said, pushing Kyo back down on the futon before standing to take the tray back downstairs.

"Are you coming back?"

Shigure smiled at him. "Of course I will. I can't have my lover sleeping by himself when he's sick, now can I?"

Kyo smiled too. "No, you can't."

pqpqpqp

Kyo awoke feeling better than he ever felt since forever. He purred softly when he felt fingers massaging his scalp. Then he felt a hand fondle his butt. Kyo whimpered and shifted his ass away from the questing hand only to feel something hard poking him in his stomach.

"Hmm… you pervert. Getting hard off a sick person." He said with a smirk.

"I can't help that my boyfriend is incredibly sexy… and moves around in his sleep."

Kyo sat up and stared at Shigure's crotch. "So that's my fault?" He asked, giving it a poke. He was surprised to feel it move at his touch.

"Yes, kitten. You have this funny way of moving your hips when you sleep so that you grind right onto my cock."

Kyo blushed prettily. "Oh." He laid back down and, feeling evil, rolled his hips into Shigure's and felt his sex harden even more. Shigure moaned and thrust up into Kyo's hips. Kyo gasped at the shock that ran throughout his body at the action. He wanted more of that feeling. He needed more.

He felt hands on his hips and a voice telling him to wait but he just growled and rocked harder against the body below him. He didn't even stop when he heard the sound of the door opening.

Yuki was in shock at what he saw. Kyo was doing something to Shigure that his mind didn't want to believe. That is until Kyo sat up, threw his head back and let out a loud moan. Kyo, the only one who probably would be the last person to do anything closely related to sex, was humping Shigure! Shigure must have done something to him. Yes, it was Shigure's fault. That thought made Yuki feel a little better. It was then that Kyo turned his head and stared at Yuki with the sexist look he's ever seen while he dry humped Shigure like a bitch in heat. Kyo let out another loud moan as a wet spot began to grow on the front of his pants before falling back on top of Shigure who was panting softly.

Shigure sighed and shifted underneath Kyo. He would have to clean them up soon. He looked towards the door, finally noticing Yuki standing there red faced and hard.

Shigure grinned sheepishly. "Kyo was trying to rape me?"

Yuki glared at Shigure and curtly said, "Breakfast will be ready in a couple of minutes," before he left, slamming the door behind him.

Shigure sighed and kissed Kyo's forehead. "Get up kitten."

Kyo moaned and rolled off of Shigure. "What happened?" he asked, noticing the wet spot in his pants.

Shigure gaped at him. "You don't remember?"

"No. I just remember waking up and staring at your crotch. It's a blank after that."

"You just dry humped the hell of me."

"I did what?" He sat up at that. He really didn't remember dry humping Shigure.

"Yep. I told you to wait but you just growled at me and kept going so I figured if you were that horny I wasn't going to stop you."

Kyo flushed in embarrassment. "Oh, God I'm so embarrassed!" He exclaimed, covering his face with his hands.

"And I must say that Angel saw a free show as well."

"That's like… voyeurism." Kyo said, mortified, turning his face away from Angel who just cocked her head in confusion.

"And I think it's best I tell you now before you find out from Yuki but he walked in on us."

He stared at him. "What!"

"I said…"

"I heard what you said. This just gets worse and worse."

"It's not all that bad. I didn't mind you humping me but I wish we could have at least gotten our cocks out first."

"Stop reminding me." He groaned.

Shigure smiled and pulled Kyo to him. "I really don't mind. I'm actually flattered, though we should try this again minus the clothes and with the door locked."

"You don't think I'm a pervert?"

"Of course not. Just because you dry humped your boyfriend doesn't automatically make you a pervert." Shigure grinned, "Just a pervert in training."

Kyo glared at him then stood. "Come on, we have to change."

Shigure stood as well as he picked up Angel. "Where are we going?"

"To your room to freshen up. Robes are easier to handle."

Shigure smirked and walked with Kyo to his room.

pqpqpqp

Shigure and Kyo made their down to the table and sat down; Yuki was glaring at Shigure all the way. Kyo looked confused and gave Shigure a questioning gaze as he set Angel down. "What did you do now?" He whispered.

"I didn't do anything wrong. When he walked in on us he must have thought that I was doing that to you, since I'm the pervert here. It's obvious I forced you to hump me." He said the last part sarcastically.

"Hmm… Yuki thinks I'm innocent…"

"Everyone thinks you don't even know what sex is or entitles. Including Yuki."

"I know what sex is." He defended.

"Really?"

"To make babies, of course."

Shigure gave him a look. You have much to learn my innocent kitten.

Kyo blushed. "… Am I that naïve?"

"Yes."

"You weren't supposed to answer that truthfully."

"But I love my naïve little kitten. It'll be much more fun to teach you the ropes."

"'The ropes?' there's ropes in sex now?" Shigure could hear the confusion in his voice and had to stop himself from laughing.

"There could be." Kyo glared at him and began to eat his food.

"Kyo… you look better today." Tohru said.

"Thanks. I feel a little better today too. I just hope it's not one of those things that get better then comes back ten times worse than before."

"That would be horrible!"

Kyo smiled sheepishly. "Sorry about that. Forget I even said it. I was just thinking out loud."

"Ah, Kyo?"

"Hmm?"

"Are you sure you're feeling better?"

"Yes. Why?"

"You just seem different than before… happier even."

"Yes, I am happier than before." He replied, glancing at Shigure who smiled his way. Kyo blushed and turned his eyes back to his food, staring too intently at his eggs.

"You're blushing!"

"No I'm not."

"That's so cute!" Tohru gushed.

Kyo glared at her and she instantly hushed. "I'm NOT cute! I'm not pretty! I've told you people before: that's that damn rat's department!"

"I'm… I'm sorry! That was rude of me!"

"Kyo!" Shigure scolded, "That was uncalled for. Apologize." Kyo growled then let out a calming breath.

"I'm sorry. I… overreacted a little." Shigure raised an eyebrow at that. "Ok, a lot. I'm sorry. There. You happy?" He asked, aiming the question at Shigure.

Shigure smiled. "Very. PMS is a killer…" He mumbled at the end.

But Kyo heard him. "I'm NOT PMSing damnit!"

"Whatever you say kitten." Kyo glared darkly at him and began to eat.

"I take back what I said last night. Touch me and die."

Shigure gasped. "Aww Kyo! I'm sorry! I didn't mean it! You know I was just kidding with you!" Shigure pleaded.

"Humph."

"I'm sorry!" Shigure then smirked and pulled Kyo to him and taking advantage of his mouth opened in shock, kissed him like there was no tomorrow. Yuki dropped his chopsticks and Tohru watched in stunned silence, both had their mouths wide open. The little short kiss the day before was unexpected, yes, but this passionate lip lock was totally unexpected.

Kyo had tried to fight, at first just to show he wasn't about to let Shigure have his merry way with him, that is until Shigure slid his tongue inside his mouth and gave his mouth a thorough tongue lashing. Kyo moaned softly and numb fingers dropped his chopsticks and bowl, luckily it landed on the table, and wrapped his arms around Shigure's neck, running one of his hands through his hair to pull him more into the kiss.

Yuki and Tohru were sporting twin blushes as they watched the kiss. Is it hot in here or is it just them? Yuki thought. Yuki sniffed as he suddenly smelled a sharp spike in Kyo's scent but it didn't smell quite like the scent of arousal. What the hell? He shook himself mentally as it started to fade and continued to watch the kiss. Both of them were actually disappointed to see them slowly pull apart and stare into each other eyes, clearly forgetting they had an audience.

Shigure stared into Kyo's eyes when they pulled apart and took in his disheveled appearance. Lips kiss swollen, a nice rosy blush tinting his cheeks, and crimson eyes shining so brightly he thought he'd fall in love with him all over again. He leaned over to kiss him again.

Kyo wanted to kiss Shigure again and again after they pulled apart. He also wanted to mad him but he couldn't no matter how hard he tried. So he just settled on staring at him for a moment. The dark eyes seemed to look right into his soul and lay it out for everyone to see. He noticed a light blush over his cheeks and his swollen lips and a sudden thought hit him. I hope he doesn't get sick over this. He almost missed Shigure lean towards him again to take his lips in another kiss. Almost. He leaned up to meet him but a quick 'Ahem' stopped them both and they looked towards the sound.

"I'm sorry to interrupt but maybe you should do that somewhere a little more… private." Yuki emphasized the word 'private' and glanced towards Tohru who still was in shock.

Kyo flushed all over in embarrassment and hid his heated face in Shigure's shoulder. "It's all his fault." He mumbled.

"Uh… sorry about that. I don't know what came over me." He said, removing one of his arms from around Kyo's waist and rubbed the back of his head, grinning sheepishly. But I do know that Kyo's scent is going crazy on me. If Yuki hadn't stopped me from kissing him again I probably would have tried to fuck him into the floor.

"Well, I'm done! When you two are done just leave the dishes in the sink. I'll get them later." Tohru quickly said, getting up.

"Yeah, I'm done too. Well, I guess we'll be on our way."

"Don't forget the cat food!" Shigure yelled before they left.

"God, I hate you sometimes." Kyo said with a small pout.

"I love you too, kitten."

"Hmm…" He was about to stand up until a sharp pain shot through his lower abdomen and he let out an involuntary gasp of pain.

"Kyo? What's wrong?"

The pain didn't last long and was quickly a fading memory. "It's… it's nothing. I'm fine."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Then let's get your medicine."

"Fine." What the hell was that?

Tbc

We're getting closer to finding out the third curse! I had to add a little smut this time just for Tora since she keeps begging me and putting Yuki in all those situations was too much fun for me!
