"You've been up there all day, Kyou. Why don't you come join us inside? We were thinking of playing Rich Man, Poor Man."
Shigure spoke up to Kyou, standing on the grass outside in his sandals.
Kyou was lying down on the roof with his arms folded behind his head, using his hands as a pillow. At the sound of Shigure's voice, Kyou sat himself up. The pair of crimson red eyes now starred down on the man.
"I don't feel like it."
He spoke bluntly and almost annoyed.
"When do you feel like it?"
The soft voice spoke. Yuki was standing in the doorway, looking up at Kyou.
Kyou's eyes quickly shot over to Yuki. The sun seemed to illuminate Yuki's creamy white skin. He looked so…
"Well? Are you going to join us or not?"
Yuki's violet eyes gazed up at the boy, images of their kiss still traveled through his mind.
Kyou's thoughts were interrupted by Yuki's gentle voice.
"Yeah yeah. I'll be there in a sec."
He jumped down from the roof, landing on both his feet. He was in a crouched position with one hand on the ground. He stood himself up while his fingers sifted through his bright orange hair. He had walked right past Yuki, giving him a smirk as he walked on by.
Yuki caught this smirk of Kyou's and it caused his cheeks to turn a salmon color.
After playing a few rounds of Rich Man, Poor Man, Shigure stood up and stretched his arms out to the sides.
"Looks like I'm the winner yet again!"
He gave the two boys a playful grin.
"It's nearly noon and I'm supposed to go to the Sohma Estate for dinner. Might as well stay for the night and get myself a free breakfast too."
"You're such a freeloader."
Yuki spoke with a sigh, his vision shifting to Kyou.
"I believe it's your turn to cook."
"Screw that. Let's just go get some of those TV Dinners from the store."
Kyou shouted. There was no way that he was going to whip something up on his own.
Yuki nodded, quickly putting on his shoes and opening the door. He did this all rather quickly, leaving the other two boys to wonder why he was rushing.
"Alright… Well I'm off! Don't miss me too much."
Shigure spoke with a smile upon his lips and left his house.
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
Kyou asked with a confused tone. He sat himself down to place his shoes on his feet, standing when ready.
"No reason."
Yuki answered, his lips forming into a soft smile. His mind was filled with thoughts of Tohru. She always made the meals so they didn't have to worry about things like this. It made him upset to even think about it. He wanted to get out into the fresh air.
"Let's go."
The two boys were wandering up and down the isles of the market. Kyou seemed to be getting agitated.
"Where are the damned TV Dinners!"
He shouted out loud, his eyes shooting from shelf to shelf.
"They're right in front of you.. Stupid cat. And you're drawing too much attention to yourself. People are starting to stare."
Yuki grabbed a few of the dinners, placing them in the basket that was hanging from his arm.
"Then lettem' stare!"
He snarled. He was trying his best to wait patiently in line but it was taking to long.
"This is boring, I'll waiting for you outside."
"Fine."
Yuki spoke in a sigh, watching Kyou walk over to the exit. He waited for his turn to pay for the items he wanted to purchase.
Kyou was walking out the door, his eyes wandering back to look at Yuki. He was no longer paying attention to what was in front of him. This had caused him to bump into a young girl. With a puff of orange smoke, Kyou had transformed into the orange cat. This is just great. What do I do now?
"Sorry, Mister."
The young girl had quickly apologized but she didn't see the tall boy anywhere. She was confused but the confusion soon turned into happiness when she found the cat in front of her. She gazed down on the cat with starry eyes, quickly picking him up with a giggle.
"Kitty! You're so cute. Yes you are! You're coming home with me."
The girl, who looked to be a young teenager, began to walk off.
Yuki was holding the grocery bag in his hand. His eyes looked around but he didn't see Kyou. He soon found his clothes lying on the ground, picking them up quite quickly.
"Kyou? Kyou!"
His eyes quickly darted about. He had spotted something orange. A cat. It was him!
"W-Wait!"
Kyou struggled within the girl's arms. Let me go damnit! His ears twitched, hearing Yuki's voice. He was glad.
Yuki was trying his best to push through the crowd of people that were in his way. No luck. He could see Kyou, but he couldn't get to him!
The girl brought Kyou to her house, placing him in their backyard with a cheerful smile.
"Here you go pretty kitty."
She smiled cheerfully and placed a collar around the cat's orange furry neck. The collar was attached to a leash and that leash was attached to a pole that dug deep into the ground.
W-What the hell is this! Kyou's ears perked up. His orange fur stood on end and a loud hiss escaped his sharp teeth. He wanted to get out of there!
"Bad kitty!"
The girl pouted gently batting at the cat's snout, but soon allowing her fingers run over the cat's ears. She rubbed her fingers over them countless times.
Kyou surprised himself when he let out a few gentle purrs. He quickly stopped himself from making such cute noises. He tried to take that collar off. What would happen when he turned back into a human? Damnit!
"Stay there!"
The girl quickly ran inside, grabbing a saucer of milk and placing it down in front of Kyou. With one last giggle she spoke,
"There you go pretty kitty. Drink up!"
And with that she ran back inside, smiling cheerfully.
"Such a pretty kitty."
Yuki emerged from behind once of the trees. He was smiling, holding back a giggle. Yuki dropped Kyou's clothes down in front of him.
Kyou's cat like eyes quickly darted over to Yuki. How embarrassing. And to make matters worse, Kyou's body was surrounded in that same orange smoke, changing him back. The collar expanded to the circumference of his neck. His hand quickly reached over to grab his boxers. After he put them on, his eyes wandered over towards Yuki who was untying the leash from the pole.
"Untie this collar, not the leash!"
Yuki laughed softly, catching a quick glance at Kyou's body. He blushed faintly when thinking about it. His fingers were now working on the knot that was around the pole. When he finished he simply smiled down on Kyou who was sitting on the ground.
"But I like it better this way."
Yuki spoke in an almost seductive way. He gripped onto the leash, pulling Kyou closer with a harsh tug. He locked his lips with Kyou's. His soft pink lips gently massaged against the boy's, his tongue soon rolling over his lower lip to tease. He was dominating Kyou, but this wasn't too surprising. Maybe it was just the raging hormones within Yuki's body. If this were any other day he probably would have just let Kyou go. Yuki finally pulled away oh so slowly, not wanting the girl to exit and find two boys in her backyard 'playing'.
For that one moment, Kyou fell into Yuki's kiss. He felt something that was like nothing he had ever felt before. He wanted Yuki. He wanted to take him right then and there. He wanted him so bad that it felt like he'd obsess over that rat. He didn't want Yuki to pull away, but he knew it had to be done. He grabbed the rest of his clothing and quickly put it on, taking off the leash and collar. The girl would return soon after the two boys left and would find nothing.
After a quiet walk home with no words being exchanged, the two boys took off their shoes after they entered the home. Yuki had finally spoken up,
"I should probably get started on these."
He was referring to the dinners he picked up from the store before this whole situation had started.
"I'm not hungry. I had a big lunch."
His eyes looked over to Yuki. He didn't' want to sound rude, but it was a truth. He couldn't help but stare down on Yuki's body. But why? Why did he look so tempting? Why did Kyou feel like this when he looked at Yuki? Why?
"So did I."
Yuki spoke with a smile, entering the household. His eyes soon opened wide due to surprise. Kyou had gripped onto his arm and pulled Yuki into his chest, causing the groceries to fall onto the floor.
Kyou wrapped his arms around Yuki's body. He wanted to take control of him. Have his way with him. He felt odd to have those thoughts in his mind. His lips gently kissed against his ears, whispering softly and slowly,
"Yuki.. Can we.. Have some fun?"
Kyou gently took Yuki's hand, giving it a soft tug and leading him up the stairs.
"Fun?"
Yuki's cheeks blushed while he thought about it. He continued to follow behind Kyou and had ended up in the boy's room. All he could smell was the scent of Kyou. He loved it. He adored that certain smell.
Kyou shut his door behind him. He would have locked it, but Shigure was gone till tomorrow afternoon. His fingers quickly reached for the buttons on Yuki's shirt, unbuttoning each one at a quick pace. His lips quickly began to press against Yuki's creamy colored skin. The kisses started at the top of his neck, moving down to his collarbone where he began to gently suck at the flesh. He broke away to whisper several words on his pale skin.
"Thank you for coming to my rescue… Prince Yuki."
Yuki's cheeks turned bright red. He felt so nervous. He didn't want to turn into his zodiac animal due to embarrassment. He didn't want Kyou's kisses to stop. They felt so lovely. Yuki wanted to act upon each of Kyou's actions, but he simply couldn't. He just stood there and let Kyou do as he wished. He was like a doll.
Kyou could only grin while his eyes looked over Yuki's motionless body. Kyou crossed his arms, gripping onto the bottom of his own shirt. He pulled it up and over his head, tossing it over to the side. Once that was finished, he put his arm around Yuki's waist from behind, his hand drifting downward ever so slowly. He had never touched someone in such a way. Girls could never embrace him and Kyou hadn't been attracted to boys until a couple days ago. His hand now stroked over Yuki's crotch, his fingers firmly running over the fabric of his jeans. His free hand moved up to press itself against Yuki's warm chest, kissing the back of his neck quite slowly. His finger worked on the button to Yuki's jeans, pulling the zipper downwards. Kyou slowly pushed the boy's pants down, exposing his boxers and the small bulge that Kyou continued to run his fingers across.
Yuki was so quite and still. He loved Kyou's touch, it gave him great pleasure, but…
"K-Kyou... Stop. Please."
Yuki squirmed within Kyou's grip.
But he didn't stop; he continued to stroke the boy's erection with his fingers.
"Why? I thought you liked this, Prince Yuki. I know I do…"
"It's not right!"
His violet eyes watched Kyou's hand. They were cousins. They were both boys. He was never really attracted to boys. He had had sexual encounters with Akito. But that was rape. That was not true pleasure. Maybe the only reason Yuki didn't want Kyou to touch him was because it reminded Yuki of Akito. That bastard.
"But it feels right."
Kyou spoke, reaching his hand into Yuki's boxers. After his fingers brushed against his pulsing manhood, he used both his hands to push down his boxers, letting them fall to the boy's ankles.
"Come on, Yuki… It's just a little fun. No harm in that, is there?"
His lips grinned, showing off his cat like fangs. His lips gently kissed against Yuki's pale neck and shoulder, brushing his sharpened fangs against his flesh.
"You're safe with me, Yuki."
He whispered softly, letting those fangs sink into the skin between Yuki's neck and shoulder. He was even surprising himself by doing this act, but he was loving it. He loved the taste of Yuki's sweet blood.
A groan escaped from Yuki's lips. It hurt yet it felt so good to him. He leaned his back into Kyou's warm chest, breathing slowly.
"K-Kyou.. Just.. Keep going. Please."
He begged the cat, his eyes now closed.
Kyou's tongue ran over the wound, licking over the blood, letting it spill down his throat. His lips grinned, painted in blood until he licked that off with his tongue.
"If that's what my Prince Yuki wants.."
His hand slid Yuki's length in and out from his hand.
"Then that's what my Prince Yuki gets…"
"As you know, Kyou and Yuki have been going through some rough times. After Tohru's death they've become lost and confused. They needed comfort and support from someone who knew exactly how the other felt."
Shigure was sitting across from Akito who was sipping at his tea, using both hands.
"They've found each other."
Akito's fingers pressed harshly against the teacup, keeping silent for what seemed to be the longest time. It soon shattered from the force of his hands and whatever was left in the glass had fallen down on the table as well.
"What?"
He was obviously trying to stay calm, but his acting just wasn't good enough. His hands lowered down to the table, his fingers coated in the tea he was drinking just moments ago.
"The rat and the cat are not to get along. It's how it was meant to be."
Akito said this in a snarl, his eyes shooting up to Shigure.
"Oh? And who made it that way?.."
Shigure was still remaining calm. He got those words from Tohru. Who decided that the rat and the cat weren't to get along?
"That's just how it is!"
His teeth clenched together, his hands making fists, gripping into some of the glass that had broken. Some blood was seeping from his hands, but Akito hadn't noticed it.
Shigure stood and headed for the door. But before he had left, he turned to speak in a soft voice,
"I'll get Hitori to dress your wounds."
And with that, Shigure had left, finding Momiji standing outside the door.
"Is it true?"
Momiji spoke softly, looking up to Shigure. His voice held a tone of shock, yet happiness as well.
"Yes."
Shigure responded rather quickly, smiling softly,
"But try not to bring it up. All right? Especially to Haru. You know his feelings for Yuki. Same goes for Kagura. She'll be worse to handle with. After all, we all know what Kagura had her heart set on."
He almost frowned when he thought about it. Kagura adored Kyou and even wanted to marry him one day. Such a violent girl. He laughed softly to himself.
Momiji nodded slowly, smiling suddenly once more,
"Uh-huh! Aright!"
He let out a soft and childish giggle, heading for the outside with Shigure walking beside him,
"It's amazing, isn't it? You would think that without Tohru… Those two would still be hating each other."
"Indeed. But now, we have Akito to deal with… And that won't be so easy. Especially for Yuki."
"Shigure!"
Yelled a loud voice,
"What is this I hear about my younger brother? He's not becoming a problem for you now is he?"
Ayame spoke from behind the two boys, his voice just as flamboyant as ever.
Both Momiji and Shigure were sitting on the deck, their feet hanging from the edge. Shigure blinked, looking over to see Ayame, and he smiled.
"Oh no no, that's not the case."
"Yeah! Yuki and Kyou are---"
Momiji was cut off by Shigure's hand which covered over his lips just to stop him from speaking,
"They're at home!"
Shigure spoke with a nervous laugh.
"Well then, why don't we go and visit? It's rather dull here."
Ayame spoke with his fingers tossing back his silver hair.
Momiji simple laughed and stood up,
"I'm going to go play with Hitori!"
He said in a cheerful tone, rushing off.
Shigure nodded to the boy, looking back up Ayame,
"Well I'm not so sure that's a good idea.."
"Nonsense!"
Spoke Ayame, grabbing onto Shigure's hand and dragging him along,
"Let's go, let's go!"
"B-But!"
Shigure tried thinking of many excuses along the way but none of them made Ayame stop and turn around.
Both Yuki and Kyou's were lying on Kyou's bed. Their cheeks were flushed with color, laying on their sides and holding one another while gasping for air. It was a shock for both of them to feel such great pleasure. It was almost like a dream. After having a few moments to themselves in order to catch their breath, they both sat up, grabbing for their clothes so they would no longer be naked. They sat in their clothes in silence and Kyou had finally opened his lips to speak,
"Yuki, I…"
Yuki had suddenly moved forward to press his lips lightly against Kyou's. The kiss was soft and swift, Yuki smiling as he begun to pull away,
"Now I'm hungry.."
They both laughed softly, heading out of the room and wandering downstairs, hand in hand. Yuki's fingers unlaced from Kyou's suddenly, but only so he could fix themselves supper. It didn't take too long since all they had to do was heat the food. Yuki came back out, placing the food down in front of Kyou who was sitting at the table.
Yuki had finished half of his meal before deciding to make himself more comfortable. It took him a lot of courage to do, but when he thought about it, it really wasn't a big deal since they just had sex not too long ago. He moved himself and was now sitting within Kyou's lap.
Kyou's tanned cheeks blushed softly, and as nervous as he was at that moment, he smiled. He continued to eat his meal, hooking his free arm around Yuki's waist. He had never felt happier. The rat had finally let the cat become an equal. But only to the rat, the rest of the family was a harder task all because of Akito.
Both of the boy's eyes shot over toward the entrance. They heard a familiar voice and they both suddenly froze.
"Oh come now, Shigure! You're acting as if I'm not allowed to visit my little brother!"
Ayame spoke in a laugh.
Shigure let out a nervous laugh, watching Ayame quickly slide open the door. Both of the men's eyes seemed to widen, finding Yuki sitting within Kyou's lap.
Both Yuki and Kyou were blushing rather heavily now and jumped when they heard the door open. They could only imagine what they would have thought if they came in earlier. Yuki was focused on his brother, feeling his blush get darker and darker until he transformed into his Zodiac form, now hidden within Kyou's lap.
Ayame wasn't sure of what to make of it, but it wasn't long until he burst into some sort of laughter,
"Oh my my! I didn't interrupt anything now did I?"
"N-No!"
Kyou spoke quickly, blushing still but he wasn't under as much stress as Yuki was.
Shigure walked past them with a soft smile, speaking to Ayame,
"I'll get a room ready for you."
"Well you boy's are teenagers! It shouldn't come as a surprise to me since you do have hormones and what naught."
Ayame spoke rather loudly, like he usually did.
"Brother, stop it!"
Spoke Yuki who was crawling out from Kyou's lap, not wanting to transform back into a human, naked within Kyou's lap. And even though he was a rat he still continued to blush rather heavily.
"Nothing happened, okay? Just forget about it."
Yuki quickly scampered off in the direction of his room, leaving Ayame and Kyou to watch him exit.
"Well I hope I didn't embarrass him too much."
He laughed.
"What about me!"
Yelled Kyou.
"Well now we're just getting off topic, aren't we?"
Kyou blinked, gently scratching his head and questioning in a confused tone,
"Off topic?"
"Yes! My shop is closed for a couple days and I thought it would be just lovely for you three to come visit me while I work on a few projects. I need some models that are about your's and Yuki's size. And I won't take no for an answer!"
He laughed once more before heading up toward the room Shigure was preparing for him.
