Italics- Kyo or Yuki's thoughts

I'm sorry, but there are no disgusting stuff in here. I already did lemons for humans, and then for dogs. I can't think of, I DON'T wanna do, any for animals, and i can't do lemons for plants. I mean... What? Plants? keh

Chapter 3: Lost…

Kyo and Yuki dragged the dogs to school the next day, each of them trying to avoid touching even a strand of hair on them. The dogs didn't want to go back to their lifeless master, Kyo and Yuki's science teacher. They've just found the one, their life partner, Shigure. And they didn't want to leave him. Like I said, they're gay. They howled and yelped all the way to school.

Yuki and Kyo shoved the leashes into their teacher's hands. Their teacher wasn't surprised to see that they haven't gotten along yet. The new plan will be ready in a week's time.

"Hey, teach," Kyo said. "You wanna see a 'trick' your dogs did yesterday?"

Yuki snickered. "Before and during dinner feed them. And then leave them alone. They'll wander around for a 'cigar break'. And then after dinner you'll find them in one of your rooms."

Both Kyo and Yuki laughed. The teacher got confused. "You'll see. Try it tonight," Kyo said, and walked away.

"Oh, how I wish I can just touch him right now, but…"

After school Yuki had a Council meeting. "But he never has meetings on Fridays!" Tohru whined when Kyo told her about Yuki. And then she brought a finger to her lips. "Oh, yeah. I forgot. During lunch break he told me that he may be staying at Kakeru's house to do a project."

Kyo just shrugged and started the walk home. "I don't care whether he's here or not."

"I have to do this. I want to do this. I'm so miserable."

"Kyo!" Tohru choked when she ran into the living room.

"Whoa, whoa! Slow down." Kyo walked to her and sat her on a chair. "Breath in. Breath out." Tohru did as told while Kyo fanned her with a book. "Okay. What's wrong?"

Tohru gulped. "It's Yuki. He's not here yet, and it's already one in the afternoon."

"You mean he's not home yet? From Kakeru's? He only stayed there last night. He may be coming home anytime now."

"But he's never stayed away for this long."

"Mate it's a big project," Kyo said, not caring. He saw that Tohru was still worried, and there were tears in her eyes. He sighed. "What? What is it?"

Tohru brushed away her tears. "It's just that… I'm having this bad feeling. I don't know what it is, but it's about Yuki." She sobbed, and a tear rolled down her cheek.

Kyo brushed the tear away with his thumb, and smiled at her. "Why don't we go to Kakeru's, then? Maybe he's just there having an accident with the super glue or something, and then accidentally glued his eyes, nose, mouth and hands together." Tohru smiled and a giggle escaped her lips. "Atta girl. Okay, come on."

They told Shigure they were going to Kakeru's house for a while. They walked there, and after a few minutes arrived at the house. Kyo knocked on the front door, and then waited for a few seconds, but no one opened it. The house was very quiet. He knocked again, and still no one answered. He knocked again, practically banging on the door.

"I'm coming, I'm coming! Sheesh," came a voice from inside. Kyo and Tohru sighed, relieved. The door opened. "What?"

Kakeru was in red boxers and a white t-shirt. His hair was a real mess, and he was rubbing his eyes. "What're you doing, man? It's one pm, and you've only woken up," Kyo said.

"Kakeru," Tohru voiced out. "Is Yuki with you?"

Kakeru yawned. "Yuki? No, he's not with me. Why?"

Tohru started to worry. "But… He said yesterday that he'll be staying over at your place to do a project."

Kakeru was wide awake now. "Well, we were planning on doing a project, and sleeping at my place, but he didn't show up. I thought he had some family thing happening or something, so I didn't call you guys to find out. He didn't come to yesterday's meeting either." Tears started to form in Tohru's eyes. "Is everything OK?"

"Yes… Everything's fine," Kyo answered quickly, and he rushed Tohru out of the house's gates. "Tohru?"

Tohru was sobbing hard now, and tears were rushing down from her eyes to her cheeks, and falling from her cheeks to the ground. "Kyo… There's that feeling again," she whispered.

"Ah… Tohru, please don't cry. Maybe he's already at home in his garden mourning over a dead plant."

Tohru sobbed. She cleaned her face of her tears, and then smiled sadly at him. "Alright. We'll check there." They walked home and then immediately went to his secret plantation. Tohru gasped and pointed at something. There was a dead rose there, and other plants, but no sign of Yuki. "Kyo! That's his favourite flower! He always takes care of it, and it has never even wilted a leaf before. Oh! There is something bad happening to him right now! Kyo!"

"Tohru, calm down. Please," Kyo begged, not wanting to see her cry again. "Let's go inside. Maybe Shigure's seen him."

They found Shigure sitting in front of the TV looking at the sexy weather girl in the news. "Shi-Shigure?"

"Ah. Yes, my sweet little flower?" He turned around, and gasped. "Tohru? Why are you crying? My girl can't be crying. Did you do something to her, Kyonkichi?" He turned and glared at Kyo.

"I didn't do anything! And don't call me that!" Kyo shouted.

"No, no. Shigure, it's about Yuki. Have you seen him?"

"Yuki? No, not since yesterday when you guys left for school. Why?"

Tohru sobbed and then started crying. "Oh, Kyo! He's not here either! Where could he be?"

"Maybe I can kill myself."

Kyo panicked. "Um… Ah… Why don't we check the school? Maybe he's there."

A few minutes later they arrived at the school, and checked all of the rooms. "Kyo. We can't find him. Where could he be?" Tohru sobbed.

"Why… Why don't we check at the places that he likes to go to?"

They walked all around town, but still couldn't find him. They even asked Haru to check in the main house for Yuki, but came back with no good news.

Tohru cried, and Shigure was worried. "I don't want my love to cry because of another guy," he said.

Kyo hit his head. "Be serious, will ya, you mutt!" And then, Kyo froze. His chest tightened, his heart felt like it was going to burst. He dropped to the floor like a bag of sacks, his hands gripping his chest. "Shit! I can feel it!"

"Kyo?" Shigure said, and tried to make Kyo stand up. "Kyo? Don't tell me you're having a heart attack?"

Kyo pushed past him and ran up the stairs and entered Yuki's room. He didn't have to scan the room; he saw it at first glance. He grabbed the piece of paper under Yuki's pillow, read it, and then ran downstairs. "Here. Read it," he said, and gave the letter to Shigure, who was trying to calm Tohru down. He took the paper and both he and Tohru read it.

-Don't bother finding me. I'm dead.

"No!" Tohru screamed and cried harder than before.

Kyo sat down next to her and shushed her. "Tohru. It's okay. He's not dead. He's… ran away. I can feel it." Tohru looked up at him, and he bends down and kissed her forehead. "I'm going to find him. For you. I'll be okay."

"I'm doing this because of you."

Kyo packed light in a backpack. He opened his closet and peered into a box. The $5000 was still there since more than a month ago. He didn't come around to buy that lifetime supply of milk. He grabbed $300, and put it into his pocket, and went downstairs.

"Ah! Kyo! Here's some food that you can eat while finding for Yuki, and there will be enough for the two of you." Tohru handed him a big plastic bag full of all kinds of food.

"Um… Tohru… This is too much, don't you think?" He looked at Tohru, and saw that she was about to cry. "But! I will bring it. Err… Thanks."

Tohru smiled, and then turned sad again. "He's far, isn't he?"

"He's farther than you can imagine." Tohru started to cry again, but she wiped her tears away. "Don't wait for us anytime soon, okay? I'll try to be back by next week. Tell our teachers that we're going on a trip or sick or something, and Akito… Well, you decide, Shigure."

Shigure bowed at him. "I will take care of your wife, Sire," he said, and Kyo hit his head with a hardback covered book.

"I'll be going now, Tohru," Kyo said, and kissed her forehead. "Don't cry."

Tohru walked him until the gates. "Goodbye, Kyo," she said, waving to him and giving him a flying kiss. "And don't you run away, too."

Kyo laughed. "Of course I won't. See you in a week, I guess." And with that, Kyo went on his 'trip' to find the damn rat that ran away from home. "I wonder why he ran away…"

"Do I really like you? Or do I just want a reason to die?"
