Now on with the fic!
Kyo was lying on his side in Shigure's study reading one of Shigure's novels while with Angel while said novelist worked. Kyo didn't want to interrupt him again like yesterday so he had picked up a random book and started reading. He hadn't been able to put it down since and that was two hours ago. He knew it was one of those dime-store smut books if the back cover was again to go by but it was too good to put down. When he first started to read, it began with a sex scene and he'd hoped Shigure was too engrossed in his writings to notice the blush that seemed to be a permanent fixture on his cheeks as he continued to read.
Shigure did in fact notice since it was Kyo who was too engrossed in his reading to notice him staring at him from time to time. He smiled as he noticed what book he was reading, Slave to Your Desire.
It starts off with, what her ex-boyfriend later calls, 'break-up sex'. The story is about a young woman in her earlier twenties, fresh out of college, and a relationship, and almost immediately lands a job working for a big technology company. What she didn't know was that she only got the job because of her looks. After working at the job for four months she begins to develop a crush on the delivery boy who always drops off their lunch everyday at 2 p.m. After talking and getting to know him more, they start a relationship. But her boss doesn't like this and needs to come up with some excuse to fire her. At the end of the day one day, the boss sees her doing very… inappropriate things with her boyfriend in her office and uses this as blackmail. When she comes in the next day, he tells her she's fired. When she asks why he shows her the tape from yesterday and when she pleads for him not to show the tape to anyone he agrees only if she agrees to do whatever he says. She consents to his terms not knowing what she's getting herself into. And so begins her double life as her boss's sex slave, only there to do his every bidding and hiding it from everyone. The only problem is… she's starting to like it (1).
Shigure put down his brush and watched Kyo, noticing his cheeks were getting redder, if that was possible, with every passing moment. Maybe Kyo could take notes from the book. "Enjoying the book, Kyo?"
Kyo's head snapped up and he quickly closed the book, knowing exactly where he stopped so he can pick up where he left off. "What makes you say that?"
"You've been so into that book for over two hours now. I didn't know you would like my writings."
"I don't like it." He replied, turning his head away. "I'm… just bored."
"Really?"
"Yes, really. It was just lying there so I picked it up."
"Why did you continue reading it when you knew what it was from the beginning and choose another book?"
Kyo opened his mouth to say 'Because I found it interesting' then closed his mouth and glared at him instead. Shigure laughed. "If you liked it you could have just said so. There's nothing wrong with reading that type of story. A lot of people read it too."
"Fine… I like the book. Now leave me alone so I can finish reading." With that said, he quickly opened the book back to the page he was on and continued reading.
Shigure sighed. He knew how much Kyo liked to read (2) and had read every book in the house except for the ones in his study. That's probably going to change real soon to satisfy Kyo's love for books. He smiled and started to write again.

Yuki walked besides Tohru with the bag of cat food, listening to her mindless drabble. He just kind of tuned her out as his thoughts were currently on a certain feline member of their little 'family' (and, no, not Angel). He sighed to himself and hung his head down. He felt like an idiot. Why in the world did he care about Kyo all of sudden? He still hated him… just not as much as before. He sighed again. He couldn't bring himself to hate him like he use to and he wasn't sure why. But he was sure it was because of Kyo's weird scent. The change in his scent started after he had gotten sick but he's been sick before and his scent never smelled the way it does now at certain times. He was sure Shigure noticed it as well. The smell made him want to play 'nice' with him… for what purpose he had yet to find out. Maybe he could make Hatori give Kyo another check-up. Yes, that sounded good.
"Yuki?"
Yuki looked up quickly and stared at Tohru. "Yes, Miss Honda?"
"You just looked so caught up in your thoughts and I was wondering what you were thinking so hard about."
He smiled sheepishly, "I'm sorry. I was… wondering about Kyo." He replied with a small blush on his cheeks and looked away.
Tohru smiled, "You're blushing!"
Yuki just blushed harder and cleared his throat. "I was wondering about his scent."
"His scent?"
"Yes. Normal people wouldn't be able to smell it but Kyo's scent is starting to change slowly and I don't know why. Members of the Zodiac are only able to smell it because of our heightened senses from having an animal counterpart. We also take some other distinct characteristics from our animal sides."
"So you all smell something from everyone?"
"Yes, just as animals would. Everyone has their own scent that's unique to them alone."
"And Kyo's is changing?"
"Yes."
She gasped in sudden realization. "He could be getting sicker! We have to hurry home!" She cried out as she sped off towards home.
"I… don't think that's it…" He mumbled to himself and hurried after her.
qpqpqpqp
"KYO!" Shigure looked out his door to see what all the fuss about. Tohru looked at Shigure and ran towards him. "Shigure! Where is…?" She looked into the room. "Oh my God! We're too late!" She cried as she ran inside his study.
Shigure looked confusedly at Yuki for an explanation. "She thinks Kyo's going to die because I said his scent has changed somewhat."
"Ah." He looked back towards Tohru and Kyo as she gently touched Kyo's cheek. "He's not dead, Tohru. He's just taking a nap after he read a book."
"Oh." She gave a sigh of relief. "Well, that's good to hear. I don't know what I would have done if he had died."
"Don't worry. Our kitty isn't going to die on us any time soon."
"Not a kitty…" Kyo mumbled in his sleep and curled up into a tighter ball. They all smiled at that and had to hold back their laughter as Kyo purred softly when Angel rubbed her head against his cheek.
"Oh, that reminds me." Yuki pulled out a can of cat food from the bag. "We weren't sure which one she would like better so we bought different kinds."
"That's fine."
"We also bought her bowls for her food and water." Tohru said, digging into the bag and pulling out two blue bowls with the name 'Angel' engraved into a sliver plate. "I wanted to get her a bed, too, but Yuki said this was enough for one day." Shigure smiled at her and looked at Kyo as he heard a soft whimper. Kyo uncurled slowly and yawned softly. He slowly opened his eyes and stared at Angel through half-lidded eyes.
"I'm up, I'm up. Damn and I was having a nice nap, too, before you woke me up." He grumbled. Angel meowed, quite happy with herself, and walked up to Shigure, crawled onto him and settled herself in his lap and fell asleep, purring contentedly. Kyo rolled his eyes. "Now you're seducing my cat."
"I can't help I'm just so loveable."
Kyo sat up some so that he was supported by his right elbow. "Whatever you want to call it." Kyo yawned and settled back down.
Yuki looked to be struggling with himself about something before he opened his mouth. "Maybe you should go to your room and go to sleep. I'm sure it'll be more comfortable than sleeping on the floor."
Kyo eyed him suspiciously before closing his eyes. "I… can't."
"You can't sleep in your own room?" Yuki asked incredulously.
"Yes, but only when Shigure is with me when I fall asleep. I'll just stay up if he isn't. Besides, I'm fine right where I'm at."
"It's true what they say about cats." Shigure said, staring at Kyo's relaxed form.
"What?" Tohru asked.
"They can go to sleep anywhere." He said, grinning at Kyo as he glared at him.
"I do not go to sleep anywhere."
"That's right. It's only places where you can get comfortable at."
"Right."
"Which is anywhere."
"Is not."
Shigure held up a hand and started to tick off places Kyo would go to sleep. "Let's see. You go to sleep on the floor, in a tree, on the roof, outside, on the porch, on top of me…"
"Alright! I can go to sleep in…"
"And on."
Kyo glared at him, "… a lot of places."
"Has she eaten anything yet?"
"No. We were waiting for you to come back."
"Then we get to see what she likes!" Tohru bent down and scooped up Angel and pulled Yuki along to feed Angel. "We'll be back!"
Shigure shook his head and smiled. He looked up as Kyo stood up, closed the door then walked up to him and plopped himself in his lap, wrapping his arms and legs around his neck and waist. "Is there something that you need kitten?"
Kyo moved one of his hands to run his fingers through Shigure's hair, smirking when Shigure moaned softly and closed his eyes as Kyo massaged his scalp and neck. "Hmm… what do I need?" He seemed to contemplate about the answer before bending his head down and rubbing their noses together. "Nothing… not right now anyway."
Shigure smiled and let Kyo rub their noses together. "Hmm… I have such an affectionate little kitten, don't I?"
Kyo was about to reply but hid his face in the crook of Shigure's shoulder instead, breathing through the pain he felt when that sharp pain from before tore through his lower abdomen. It was lasting a lot longer than last time. His body started to tremble from the exertion from holding back his pained cries and the want to curl up into a ball to try and alleviate the pain.
Shigure was waiting for a retort from Kyo when he suddenly moved his head away and buried it in his shoulder. When he felt his body start to tremble he knew something was seriously wrong. "Kyo?" When all Kyo did was let out a hurt whimper, he pulled his head up so he could look into his face. His poor kitten had such a pained grimace etched on his face that he immediately became alarmed at what could have been causing him such pain so suddenly.
"Kyo? Where does it hurt?"
Kyo blinked through the hazy fog that clouded his brain as the words made their way through his mind. "M… my… st… stomach…" Shigure gently laid Kyo down on the floor and pulled his shirt up so that his stomach was uncovered. Shigure gently prodded his stomach and Kyo whimpered again. "… It… hurts…" A tear scrolled down Kyo's face and Shigure felt his heart clench.
"I know kitten. Just try to bear a little longer for me, ok?"
Kyo nodded his head and closed his eyes. Shigure gently rubbed Kyo's belly to try to see if that helped. When he felt the tightly clenched muscles start to loosen after awhile and heard Kyo give a relieved sigh, he knew it had to be working. After ten more minutes, Kyo's body was completely relaxed and he was purring contently from the rubbing. Shigure smiled and circled the tip of his finger around Kyo's navel and felt him shiver slightly. Something else I could to use to my advantage.
Kyo moaned and Shigure was almost knocked backwards as a smell swamped his senses. He couldn't quite describe the smell in words except that it was… intoxicating. He licked his lips as he took a big whiff of the scent and looked down at Kyo when he said his name.
"Shigure? You're drooling…" He trailed off as his eyes unconsciously traced a path down his body and widened when they landed on a very impressive bulge that was straining against his robe. Fuck! He's huge! His mouth had suddenly gone dry and was staring so intently at his crotch that he didn't even notice when Shigure leaned over him until it was too late.
As Kyo studied his erection, he leaned over, letting his eyes trail over Kyo's body and smirked as he saw a blush bloom over his cheeks, before he bent his head down and sniffed Kyo. Once he confirmed that the smell was indeed coming from Kyo, he shifted so that he was between Kyo's legs and licked his neck. He heard Kyo gasp softly and wrapped his left leg around his waist and let his right leg spread wider outward and wrapped his arms around his neck, letting his fingers run through his hair.
"Kyo…" He groaned out and nibbled on his neck.
"Shigure…" He answered in kind, tipping his head back to give him more access to his neck. He moaned loudly when Shigure's hands, and nails, skimmed up his sides, pushing his shirt up until it was bunched under his arms then circled his nipples until they perked up by themselves. Hmm… he has such large hands…, Kyo thought quite happy with his find. Shigure smiled against his neck as Kyo arched his back and cried out his name when he lightly scratched one of his nipples. "Shi… Shigure!"
Shigure brought his head up and kissed Kyo's heated cheek. "Hmm… not only is my little kitten affectionate but he's also very sensitive." He murmured as he undid Kyo's pants and slid his hand inside. Kyo's eyes snapped open as Shigure gripped his erection and stared into hungry ebony eyes. Kyo licked his lips and gasped as his bottom lip was seized and nibbled on before his lips were ravaged by hungry lips. Kyo's moans were swallowed by Shigure as he stroked his sex. And the only thought that was going through both of their minds was how much they were enjoying this.
qpqpqpqp
Yuki sighed as he was pulled away. Why did he have to help feed the cat? But he didn't complain as he watched Tohru show Angel the different types of cat food and emptied one into her bowl when she clawed at one in Tohru's hand. Tohru stood and filled her water dish before setting it next to her food bowl. When she made to rub Angel's back, Angel stopped eating and stood rigidly and hissed at her (3). Tohru retracted her hand and Angel started back eating.
Yuki smiled to himself, "I guess she doesn't want to be bothered while she eats."
She smiled sheepishly, "I guess not." She stood up, "Well, I guess I should get started on my homework!" She walked off, leaving Yuki alone with Angel. He sighed again and was about to walk off when a strong smell hit his nose. He breathed in the scent and sighed as the smell wrapped itself around his senses, promising sinful pleasure. He followed the smell to its origin and found himself in front of Shigure's study. He snapped out of his daze when he heard a loud moan and soft mummers of affection and yanked open the door. His jaw dropped when he saw Shigure licking up what he knew to be cum, Kyo's cum, and Kyo petting his head appreciatively. Yuki's face burned red with anger and arousal when Shigure started to lick Kyo's cock clean.
"Shigure! What the HELL are you doing to Kyo?"
Shigure yelped and tore himself away from Kyo and stood quickly while both of them stared at Yuki in embarrassment. Kyo put himself back in his pants, stood up and leaned against Shigure's side. "I wasn't doing anything to hurt him, Yuki! Honest!" He snaked an arm around Kyo's waist and kissed his temple. "I was… just helping him with something."
Yuki growled and walked over and pulled Kyo to him, suddenly realizing that Kyo was the one emitting that wonderful smell when he was caught off guard and used Yuki to balance himself. "That was nice of you but I think we should have Hatori look at him again." From the sound of his voice Shigure knew it was a demand, not a suggestion. "I'm calling Hatori now." He glared at both of them when they tried to protest and they wisely chose to keep their mouths closed as Yuki dragged Kyo with him lest they both get their asses kicked.
Shigure sighed, Maybe having Yuki care so much… isn't such a good thing…
qpqpqpqp
Tohru opened the door when she heard a knock and was surprised to see Hatori along with Hatsuharu and Momoji.
"Hello Hatori, Hatsuharu and Momoji. I didn't know you would be coming back so soon, Hatori."
"Yes, well, I'm only here because Yuki said that I was needed. Now where is Kyo?"
"Last I saw him he was with Shigure in his study."
"Hmm…" She let them in and they all stopped suddenly when they entered, noses in the air.
"What is that delicious smell, Tohru? Is it a new air fresher? Or are you cooking already!" Momoji asked excitedly.
She looked confusedly at them and sniffed the air. "No. I didn't even use an air fresher and I haven't started cooking yet. Why? Does something smell nice?"
"More than nice…" Haru murmured as he sniffed around the house.
Shigure peeked around the corner when he heard voices. Hatori spotted him and walked over to him. "Shigure… what is that smell?"
"It's Kyo." He said laughing nervously.
"Where is he?"
"You see… he was with me then Yuki came and took him away from me."
"Now why would he do that?" He asked, raising his one visible eyebrow.
"Ah… I kind of jackedkyooffandyukicaughtusandtookkyoaway. (4)" He answered in a rush. All Hatori heard was 'jacked' 'Kyo' and 'off". A smirk made itself known on his lips and he just shook his head in amusement.
"And now Yuki has him locked away in his room?"
"Right."
Hatori sighed and walked up to Yuki's room first, with Shigure, Hatsuharu and Momoji following close behind. Tohru just watched them go and decided that she would follow too. What if something was wrong with Kyo?
qpqpqpqp
Kyo yawned as he stretched out on Yuki's bed, purring softly. The bed was nice and firm just the way he liked it and the covers were fluffy.
Yuki watched Kyo curl himself under his covers, after spending twenty minutes sitting on the floor, and purr as he got comfortable as he waited for Hatori. "Yes, please cover my bed in your scent and make it your own. I usually sleep on the floor anyway."
Kyo looked at him from under the covers. "Don't mind if I do." He said with a smile as he rubbed his body on the covers and sheets, his shirt riding up from the movement. Yuki moaned softly to himself and shifted his legs to accommodate his growing length when he realized that Kyo's scent would be lingering in his bed. Kyo stopped and stared at Yuki through half-lidded eyes, a seductive smirk on his lips. "Or… do you want me to cover your bed in my scent? Would you rather I be naked?"
Yuki felt the blush rise to his cheeks and spread down his neck. "Um… I… I just want you to… to be comfortable." He stammered as he watched Kyo sit up and start to take off his shirt.
"Well, I'll be more comfortable with my clothes off. You don't mind do you?" He asked in a soft purr.
"N… no. I mean, yes! Keep your clothes on! Hatori could show up any minute!"
Kyo licked his lips and rolled his shirt back down. "Fine." He settled himself back under the covers just as there was a knock on the door. Yuki took a minute to compose himself before he opened his door to let them in. They all walked in and were again greeted by that wonderful smell again. Hatori glanced towards Yuki's bed when he didn't see Kyo on the floor as he scanned the room and was surprised when he saw Kyo snuggling up under Yuki's covers. He looked back at Yuki and saw him looking questioningly at Haru and Momoji who took it upon themselves to poke and prod at the hissing cat boy.
"They were coming home from school and Hatsuhau had to follow Momoji, who I'm watching for today, then you called and since I have to bring Momoji as well, Hatsuharu followed." He explained.
"Ah." The other three occupants said in understanding.
"Stop poking me you damn brats!" They looked back towards the bed when they heard Kyo's yell.
"But Kyoooo! We want to know why you smell so good!" Momoji whined.
"How the hell should I know!"
"Momoji, Hatsuharu, please leave Kyo alone so that I may check on him."
"Ok," They said dejectedly.
"Now what is the problem this time Kyo?" He asked walking up to him and pulling back the covers, trying very hard to ignore the smell coming off of Kyo.
"I don't know…"
Shigure felt that he needed to speak since Kyo wasn't going to say. "Actually Kyo has been feeling some pain recently."
"Is that true, Kyo?"
He was about to deny it until he glanced over at Shigure and saw him pleading with him with his eyes and sighed softly. "Yes…" He sat up. "This morning there was a sharp pain in my stomach but it only lasted like a minute then like an hour or so ago it was worse."
Hatori gave him a sharp look and Kyo flinched a little. "And you weren't going to call me?"
"No." He said timidly.
Hatori sighed and stood up. "Get up. I'm taking you to my clinic."
Kyo looked up, surprised, "What? Why! Is that really that bad!"
"I won't know until I take a good look at you." He said as he walked out, expecting Kyo to follow him. Kyo sighed and followed Hatori with Haru and Momoji flanking him on his sides, trying to inconspicuously smell him. They even made him sit in-between them in the back sit of Hatori's car while Shigure sat in the front.
Shigure looked out the window, "I hope you two will be alright by yourselves for a bit?"
"Yes, we will be fine Shigure." Yuki said with a sigh.
He smiled at time. "Well, you two kids have fun while Kyo and I are gone." He waved as they drove off.
Tohru waved back. "I hope it isn't anything serious."
"I hope so too."
Tbc
(1)- I sort of made this up from a hentai I watched and made up the name. The generally idea is from there but the plot is all mine.
(2)- I could just be me but in the anime Kyo seemed to almost always have a book when he wasn't doing anything else so I said he likes to read a lot.
(3)- I'm sure if cats do this but when I had dogs they did this (only two of them). I thought it was funny 'cause they only did it when the were puppies but I picked them up to see what thy would do and they would just growl until I put them done. It was too funny to me.
(4)- what 'jackedkyooffandyukicaughtusandtookkyoaway' meant: I jacked Kyo off and Yuki caught us and took Kyo away.
Well, there you have it! Chapter 4! I plan to have something more about the curse in the next chapter. And maybe a lemon! But not with Shigure deflowering Kyo just yet. That comes later! I hope I explained why Yuki was acting the way he was somewhat. I know that had to be a bit confusing.
