My reviewers! Yuki's disappearance does not have anything to do with the teacher's plan. I forgot to put it in chapter 3, so it'll be in here. And those 'thoughts' will be revealed in this chapter! Happy readings!

Chapter 4: … and Found

Yuki stumbled through the streets of the empty looking town. The buildings were tall, and the moon couldn't shine on the ground. The street lights flickered on and of, making creepy shadows on the ground.

Yuki saw a trash can in the distance, and he ran to it, nearly stumbling on his own feet. He rummaged through the trash, and found a half eaten burger, a fresh looking sandwich, and an unopened can of coke. He started ripping at the food, and gulped down the drink.

He patted his stomach after only a few seconds of eating them. "Ah…" he sighed. "That felt good. But I'm still very hungry. Should've brought that money with me." He thought about the money that he won doing to dares. He didn't have time to buy seeds and fertilisers. Everybody was keeping him busy. "And that stupid teacher, too. I think I saw him looking at nothing the last time I saw him. That distance in his eyes. He must've seen his dogs… Hah."

He knew of the next plan that the teacher was going to force on him and Kyo. He saw him talking to his rabbits in the science lab. "If we're going to take care of those rabbits, I do not want to be near them. They might do what the dogs did, too," Yuki thought. "Why am I thinking abut this, anyway? I'm not going back there. I'm better off here, I think…"

"Maybe I do like him."

Kyo sat down on the nearest bench, gasping for breath. The food was slowly disappearing. "I've been walking for nearly a week already," he thought. "Where the hell is that damn rat?"

His stomach grumbled, and he looked at the food. "I wanna eat…" he whined to himself. "But there might not be enough for the runaway rat. Why am I even worrying about him?"

"Or maybe I don't. Maybe…"

Yuki walked again. His whole system was telling him to rest, take a break, sleep for a while, die.

He leaned on a wall, and then slowly slipped to the ground. "I'm so hungry…" he croaked. "Why didn't I think before running away? I should've brought money, food… But, noooo. I just have to run away right after school." He looked at his school uniform. There were mud and sauce stains on it, already dried up. "Why should I care? I won't be going to school anymore. I'm gonna die here."

He slowly lay down on the cold hard ground, and his eyes closed, and he went instantly to sleep.

"I'm dreaming about you…"

Kyo woke up, and blinked, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. He sat up. "Must've fallen asleep during the break last night," he thought. He looked around.

Everyone was wearing casual shirts. No business people were around. "Why should there be? This place's a dump." He saw beggars on the side of every street, begging passers-by for money. Instead of giving them money, the passers-by kicked them. A few were already bruised.

"Better keep an eye open for Yuki. He may be begging too. If he's in this town." Kyo sat up and stretched. He opened the plastic bag and took out some food, and then quickly closed it again, in fear of people stealing from him. He munched on the bread while walking around looking for Yuki. "I just came here, and this town look really big. Damn! He's not on this street."

He finished his 'breakfast', and then went to another street, having no hope at all of ever seeing Yuki there.

"I don't wanna live. I don't wanna die either."

Yuki extended his hands to the people passing by him. "Money… Please, sir, ma'am. I'm begging you. I'm very hungry."

A few people dropped in nickels and dimes. Like that's any use. He put it in his pocket, anyway. "If I keep on begging, these nickels and dimes will grow to dollars." "Sir? Please, spare me some money. Any dimes and nickels will do."

The young men in front of him laughed. "Why would I waste my money on scumbags like you? You're not even worth a quarter of a nickel!" His friends laughed, and then he whispered something to them. "Hey, eat this!" The man kicked at Yuki's stomach, and Yuki fell back, coughing harshly, his hands gripping his stomach. The men laughed and walked away.

Yuki curled up into a ball. "I… I can't do this," he said to himself. "I can't beg from the beggars. Their lives are far more worse than mine. I… want to move to another town."

Yuki slowly stood up, one hand on his stomach, the other gripping his pocket. "I'm not going to loose this money, no matter how little it is." He started limping to a direction, and fainted minutes later, in an alley.

"Help…"

Kyo fell to the ground, and the men in front of him laughed. "I don't like people who look like beggars, and I detest beggars!" They walked away, leaving him to cough out dry blood. Kyo gripped his stomach. "Why'd they kick me all of a sudden? I didn't even look at them. Do I look like a beggar?"

He slowly stood up and walked to the nearest shop, and looked at the window. His shirt was dirty, and his trousers have holes on the knees. "Oh, God. Help me…" He sat down in front of the shop. "I couldn't fight them just now. I'm too hungry. I only ate a slice of bread today. And it's three pm!"

He opened the plastic bag and looked inside. There were only five small kinds of food left, which is only five days worth of food, if he eat only once a day. "And if I can't find Yuki before that, I'll die." He felt the money in his pocket. "For emergencies." He hesitated. "Isn't this an emergency? I'm nearly dead now…"

He thought at first, and then stood up and went inside the shop. He picked out some bread, tuna, a carton of milk, some spread, and then paid for them. He rushed out and found an empty bench. He quickly took out the bread and tuna, made a sandwich with the spread, and then wolfed it down. He opened the carton of milk, and drank it down.

He patted his stomach. "I'm a little full now," he said, and then collected everything and put it in the plastic bag. "Let's buy some more for the next few days, and for Yuki too."

"Please…"

Yuki groaned and opened his eyes. "Where am I?" He sat up and looked around. The place was very quiet, and there were barely anyone around. He saw he was in front of the empty alley, the last place he remembered.

He looked up and realized it was night time already. He looked around and found a clock shop. "11.42? I was out for… hours already? Why is it so late?" He rested his back on a wall, and sighed.

After a few minutes, he stood up and went to search for a trash can. He found it and rummaged through it. He found a sandwich that's been bitten on the side, two sweets, a bottle of water, and whole bread.

"Why do people of this town waste food, anyway?" he said when he found a bench and sat down. "Can't they see most of the people here are beggars begging for anything they can eat?" He wolfed down the sandwich, and eaten most of the bread. "I should keep the rest for next time." He drank down the water, and then sucked on the sweets.

He stood up and continued doing what he was supposed to do before he passed out that day. "Let's get out of this hell hole," he said, and walked, knowing fully well he doesn't know where to go.

He perked his ears up. "Ah! There's someone there! Maybe I can ask him for directions." He ran around the corner, and found a group pf men sitting, laughing on the side of the street.

"Excuse me, sirs?" Yuki said, being polite. The men turned around. "Would you be kind enough to show me how to get out of town?"

The men leaned in and whispered together. Finally, they agreed to something. They stood up and bowed at Yuki. "Of course, ma'am. It'll be our pleasure. Follow us, please."

"Ma'am?" Yuki thought. "Even when I look this bad I still look like a girl? Ah, well. At least they agreed to show me."

Yuki followed them, and the men started small talks with Yuki, and Yuki laughed and chatted with them. "They're very polite, and have a very good sense of humour."

"This way, ma'am," one of the men said, and his friends guided Yuki into an alley.

"Oh? Is this the way to a train station or something?" Yuki asked.

The man looked at her. "Train station? Oh, no," he said.

Yuki raised an eyebrow. "No? Where to?"

The men laughed. "This is just a dark alley. Can't you see that, ma'am?" The man pushed Yuki to the ground and pinned him there. "Come on, boys! Strip her!"

The men lounged at Yuki and started to tear at his clothes. "What? No, no! Get off me!" Yuki kicked and thrashed around, and the man that was sitting on top of him slapped him.

"Stay still, you whore," he hissed. "We'll pay you. Look, we're putting some money into you pocket." He and his friends took out dollar notes and put them into Yuki's pocket. "See?" Yuki thrashed around again, his naked back scratched on the rocky floor. Each of the men held him down, while their 'boss' tear off Yuki's trousers. "Whoa! A shemale!" he shouted, and the other men looked awed. "This'll be fun, won't it, boys? A cock and no boobs."

The men licked their lips, and Yuki thrashed around again, not caring whether his body was bruised because of the small rocks under him. "Help! Somebody!" he screamed, not recognizing his own voice.

"Oh. There won't be anyone helping you," the 'boss' said. "There's always no one in this part of the town. Our lucky day, ain't it?"

The men laughed. "No! Get off me! I'm a guy, too! Just like you!"

They laughed again. "Oh, that's the third time we've been told that today. There're quiet a few shemales here." He saw Yuki's face, not believing what he was saying. "What? You don't believe me? My two sisters and my mother are shemales too, you know. And my father just enjoys raping them over and over. I guess that kind of thing went down to his only son. And I've been raping people since I was eight. Hah. Even these guys here nearly died because of me. And, yes, I've raped a few people today, and you're the seventh. There're no police in this town. They know too well to not meddle on the business of the people here."

Yuki couldn't believe his ears. "I'm another victim! Shit!" he screamed at himself in his head. "Help!" His eyes saw something in the distance, and before he knew it the man on top of him flew across the floor.

-

"This place is so shitty." Kyo kicked an empty bottle of water, and nearly stepped on someone's barf. "If I don't find that rat tonight… Well, I don't know what to do. I don't know the way home."

He passed a dark alley, and heard someone screaming and laughing in there. "Ain't my business," he said to himself, but then stopped when he heard someone said, "Whoa! A shemale!"

Kyo peeked into the alley, and made out about six men in there, one of them sitting on top of someone. He heard that someone screamed out for help, but Kyo didn't move. He didn't want to get involved in this thing. He thought he recognized the voice, but didn't think twice.

He heard that someone say out that he's a guy, and Kyo froze. He heard the man on top of him tell him his life, and without thinking, Kyo ran to him and punched him across the face, making him fly across the alley.

The naked man on the floor gasped. "K-Kyo?"

Kyo flinched. "I knew it! It is Yuki! He's always been mistaken as a woman, and this has gone too far!"

"Why you…!" the man shouted. He got up. "Don't let go of her, boys. Tonight, she's mine, and no one's taking her away from me. Bring it on, bub!"

Kyo ran to him and punched him blindly. "Yuki is not a woman!" he shouted when the man was lying on the floor, his face covered in blood.

Yuki tried to wriggle out of the men's grasp. They made her stand up, and then one of them punched him, and Yuki nearly fainted. "Goodnight, you bitch."

In a split second he was thrown in the air and the other men was beaten up, too. All of the six men were on the floor, either covered in blood or surrounded in blood. Yuki's knees got weak, and he fell to the floor.

"Yuki!" Kyo ran to him, and cradled him in his arms.

Yuki coughed out blood, and then looked up to his hero. "Thanks, Kyo," he said.

"Yuki! Aw, man. Put on some clothes." Kyo rummaged through his backpack and took out a t-shirt and jeans. "Here. Use these."

Yuki slowly stood up and put on the clothes. "Thanks," he said, after finishing putting them on.

"It's a bit big for you, right?" Kyo asked, looking at Yuki in his clothes.

They both blushed and turned away from each other.

"I'm so embarrassed right now."

Kyo turned to Yuki suddenly. "Yuki…" Yuki felt dizzy. He brought his hand to his head, and then everything turned black.

-

Yuki slowly opened his eyes and looked around. He sat up. "Where…?" The room was white, and he was in a bed in… "Why am I using Kyo's clothes?"

"That's because you wore them." Yuki jumped when someone said that, and nearly fell of the bed. "Hey! Be careful or you'll fall," Kyo said, standing next to the bed.

Yuki looked at him, and then looked around the room again. "Where are we?" he asked.

Kyo sat down on the chair next to the bed. "In the hospital."

Yuki turned to him. "Hospital? Why?"

Kyo sighed. "You were out cold since yesterday, and I… I was… really worried. I brought you to the hospital, and the doctor found out you were dehydrating, and he allowed the both of us to stay here until you're well enough to go back home."

Yuki blushed and looked at his hands. He remembered everything now. He cleared his throat. "Thank you… for saving me yesterday," he whispered.

Kyo looked at him, and smiled secretly, not wanting Yuki to see him. "Yeah, well. A damsel in distress," he joked, and Yuki laughed a bit.

A knock came on the door, and a head peeked in. "Ah. The patient is awake already," he said and walked in.

Kyo stood up. "Ah, Yuki? This is the doctor that I was talking about."

Yuki's face lit up. "Are you?" he asked the doctor. "Oh… I want to thank you so much for letting us stay here. And for taking care of me, of course."

The doctor shook his hand and smiled. "Nah. I just like to help, that's all. The taking care of… Well, the tubes there feed you when you were sleeping, and I didn't do more than that. This young lad here bathes you three times a day." He pointed at Kyo.

Kyo blushed and turned away, wishing that he would just disappear. Yuki blushed and put a hand to his mouth. "K-Kyo bathed me? Three times already?"

The doctor smiled. "Three times yesterday and twice today. Morning, afternoon, and night. It's nearly time for him to give you a bath again. It's nearly nine pm."

"What?" Yuki gasped. "Five times…? Oh my…"

The doctor chuckled. "But let me check you first." He walked around him. "Ah. You still need to stay here for about two more days. You still haven't healed yet." He looked from the blushing Kyo to the blushing Yuki. "Yuki? You and Kyo are very great cousins," he said simply, making the both of them confused. The doctor walked to the door. "Well, take care, guys. All you have to do is eat to be better. Goodnight."

The door closed and silence filled the room. For a few minutes, Kyo didn't look at Yuki, and Yuki was looking at his hands.

"Oh my God… I like him… I like him I like him I like him. What if I were to tell him that I'm nearly in love with him now?"

"Yuki…"

"Kyo, thank you," Yuki said, cutting him off. "For taking care of me, for saving me… Everything."

"… No fighting?" Kyo asked.

Yuki smiled, still looking at his hands. "People change…"

Kyo grinned, turning to Yuki. "Yeah… We changed too, haven't we? No fighting…"

Yuki nodded, looking up at him. "Yeah…'

"And I've changed ever since I realized that I like you, that I'm… in love with you."

"Ex-Excuse me?" Kyo croaked, nearly gagging.

Yuki looked at him, raising an eyebrow. "What?"

"What did you say just now?"

"What? I said that, yeah, people change."

"After that."

"After that?" Yuki asked, and then thought. "Well, after that you said that we've changed too."

"No, no. Not that! After you said… Yeah… And then you said that… you've changed… ever since you realized that… you like…"

Yuki gasped, clasping his hands to his mouth. "Oh, shit! I said that out loud?" he screamed at himself in his head.

"And… That too," Kyo pointed out, and turned away from Yuki.

Yuki blushed, mad at himself. "Why'd I think that out loud? I thought that I can hold it in or something. Now Kyo knew that… I love him…" "Kyo?"

Kyo didn't look up. He was too embarrassed to look at Yuki now. "Yuki is in love with me!" he thought. "I never thought that… But"

"Kyo, I'm sorry. I thought that I can keep that feeling in me for the rest of my life, but it just kinda burst out, I guess,' Yuki mumbled, and hugged his feet to his chest, and started talking. "I've felt like this ever since that dare about two months ago. I kept thinking of what it could be, not including any kind of lovey dovey feelings, and kept saying that it's nothing and all."

"And then, one day, it just hit me in the face, and I didn't even realize it. I thought maybe it would be a sin, you know, feeling like that. Days dragged by. Every time you have your eyes and mind somewhere else, I would look at you, and think about you, but that time it was only until thinking about you. I kept everything hidden inside me. Even Honda doesn't know. She didn't even suspected. Every night I cried, and thought that I would go crazy if I go on like this."

"I was really happy when our teacher gave us those dogs for us to take care of so that we can be closer, and I thought that we would be taking care of it together, spending our time together. But I was wrong. And then that time when we saw those dogs… doing it… That night I wished it was me and you doing it, and I had these wet dreams over and over, and my mind wandered off on another direction ever since then. I would wish that I could touch you and all."

"One day, I just exploded. I was so miserable that I didn't think twice about the running away thing, and just went out of town and everything went downhill from there. I thought about killing myself, but knew that I can't do that. I did that because of you. I didn't care if I was worrying Honda. I ran away because I was pressured by everything. Suddenly I thought and thought. Do I really like you? Or do I just want a reason to die?"

"And after you saved me yesterday, I felt really embarrassed, having to use your clothes and… you seeing me naked… And I realized that… I really… really like you…"

Silence hung in the air. No one moved nor made a sound. After a few minutes, Kyo shifted in his seat, but still didn't turn to look at Yuki. "Yeah. We did change. You talk too much now, Yuki," Kyo said, his face still red.

Yuki bit his lower lip, and tears started to form in his eyes. "You know what? Every time I think about you, I want to be with you. And I think about you all the time. Being in the same classes and living under the same roof isn't what I call being with you," he sobbed, the tears now falling hard. He hid his face in his hands. "And… And every time I cry, I… I want to be in your arms."

Kyo stood up and went to him. "Yuki…" Yuki flung himself to Kyo, wrapping his arms around Kyo's neck. Kyo wrapped his arms around Yuki's body, and hugged him closer, and Yuki cried in his arms.

-

Yuki wiped away his tears with tissues, and smiled at Kyo. "I'm so sorry," he said.

Kyo smiled back. "What for?"

They were now on the bed, lying next to each other. "Well, I did cry on you for about… What? Half an hour? And I was pouring my heart out to you."

Kyo leaned in closer, making their noses touch. "We did change, eh?" Yuki blushed and nodded. "You already told me you like me, now it's my turn."

Yuki's eyes were wide, and he gasped. "You… You like me…?"

"I haven't even started yet, though I don't say much." He bends down and kissed Yuki's cheek. "I liked you… Well, I don't remember when. But I guess that dare got me started. I kept thinking of that kiss, and sometimes I wished that it would happen again."

Yuki looked at him. "What if it would?" he whispered.

"Well, if it would start again… I don't know. I've never kissed anyone in my life before." Kyo was biting his lower lip and looking at Yuki, and Yuki blushed. "What say you?"

Yuki looked away. "Me? Um… I… I don't know."

Kyo smiled and leaned down. He kissed Yuki's cheek, and then trailed it to the side of his lips. Yuki turned and pressed his lips to Kyo's. It was a surprise for the both of them.

Kyo leaned in deeper, wanting to taste Yuki, and he licked his lips. Yuki gasped and Kyo's tongue slithered in. Their tongues touched, and the both of them could've died at that time. Kyo explored Yuki's mouth, tasting every drop of him, memorising every inch of his mouth, and Yuki's tongue was wrapped around Kyo's.

They broke apart and breathed heavily in front of each other's faces. After a few minutes, Kyo leaned in again and kissed Yuki lightly. "I think I'm beginning to really, really like you," he said.

Yuki smiled. "What about that bath, Kyo?" he whispered in his ear.

Kyo bit Yuki's earlobe. "I'll bathe you, my Queen."

Kyo and Yuki walked to the bathroom, Kyo's arm around Yuki's waist, and Yuki leaning on Kyo's body, his leg still hurting from God knows what.

Kyo slowly took off Yuki's shirt and looked at him. His body was smooth and soft looking, and oh so very white. "You're so beautiful, Yuki," he whispered, running his hand up and down Yuki's chest.

Yuki moved closer to him. "You're saying that like we're going to have sex or something," he whispered, and it hit him. Both he and Yuki blushed and turned away. "Oh, damn! Why'd I say that? Shoot!"

"But… We aren't, right?" Kyo asked, and looked at Yuki. "I… don't want to do that. Not yet, anyway."

Yuki smiled. "No, we aren't. Sorry I said that." He laughed, embarrassed. He looked at Kyo, and then started to remove his shirt.

"I thought you were the one to get the bath, Your Highness."

"Oh? I'm not allowing you to get your clothes wet."

Kyo moved closer to him. "I'm going to bathe with you, Your Highness?"

"It'll be grand, wouldn't it?" Yuki giggled. Kyo unbuttoned Yuki's jeans, and it slipped easily down his legs.

Kyo blushed. "I forgot you aren't wearing anything underneath!"

Yuki ran his fingers up and down Kyo's chest. "Are you embarrassed that you've seen me today? Haven't you seen me five times already before this?"

Kyo blushed even more. "Well, you were sleeping that time, and you don't get to see me blush every time I clean… this." He brought his hand down and brushed it against Yuki's cock.

Yuki blushed and pushed him away, and turned away from him.

"What? Are you mad or something?" Kyo asked. He didn't want to touch him for fear that he may be mad.

Yuki was bending his head down, looking at his feet. "Well…"

Kyo hugged him from behind. "Then let's have that bath, Your Majesty," he whispered in Yuki's ear, and licked it.

Yuki turned around. "But… I haven't…"

Kyo backed away from him and raised his hands up. "Do anything you want."

Yuki gulped and brought his hands to Kyo's jeans. He unbuttoned it, and undid the zipper. He tried to tug the jeans down, but it fitted Kyo just right. "Kyo, it wouldn't go down," he whined.

Kyo kicked his jeans off. "Ya happy?" Yuki looked at him and pointed at something on him. Kyo looked down and saw that his boxers were still on. "You wanna take it off me?" he grinned. Yuki blushed, and nodded his head.

He put his hands on the sides of the boxer and slowly pushed it down. When it reached Kyo's hips, it easily slipped down, and Yuki saw it. "Ah! I'm sorry!" he nearly screamed, and turned away from Kyo's body.

Kyo laughed. "Why are you fidgety, anyway? Come on."

They walked to the shower and Kyo adjusted the showers, and the water turned out a bit cold, but Yuki didn't mind. "I'm taking a shower with Kyo!" he thought.

"What're you thinking about? Your face is all red," Kyo said, and then grinned. "What? Are you thinking about the ways on how you would satisfy me later? It wouldn't work, I'm telling you."

Yuki blushed. "No, not that! It's just…"

"I know… You're happy because you're taking a shower with me, right?" Kyo kissed him lightly. "If you wanna know, I'm kinda nervous and embarrassed right now, too."

Yuki looked at him and smiled. "Really? I didn't know that."

Kyo smiled and leaned past him to get the shampoo. His body brushed against Yuki's, and Yuki blushed. "Yuki, if you're not moving from that spot you may drown," Kyo said. "Because I would be the one to drown you. You're blushing way too much."

Kyo made Yuki's hair wet, and some of the water went inside Yuki's mouth. "Kyo! Be careful on where you do that," he said.

"Well, Your Majesty, you were still in your own world even after I kissed you. Didn't you notice?"

Yuki touched his lips, and blushed. "I'm so sorry," he said.

Kyo smiled and spread some shampoo on Yuki's hair, and massaged it gently. They laughed and joked, and took turns cleaning each other's body.

"Wow!" Kyo exclaimed. "That's the best shower I've ever had in my life." Yuki laughed, and dried Kyo's body with a towel. "Hey! I can dry that up myself, okay?"

Yuki laughed again, and after his body dried, he put on his clothes. Kyo walked to the door and locked it. "Kyo? Why'd you do that?" Yuki asked, curious.

Kyo went to him and wrapped his arms around Yuki's waist. "So that the doctors and nurses wouldn't disturb us tonight." Yuki blushed, and Kyo frowned. "No, Yuki. We're not going to do it. You know we're not ready for that yet. I just want us to sleep together, naked."

Yuki blushed even more. "But… Wouldn't it be cold?" he asked.

Kyo smiled and started removing his clothes. "I've got you and you've got me." He leaned down and kissed Yuki's neck. "I can feel you blushing, Yuki."

"Well," Yuki said, bringing the both of them to the bed. "We just confessed about… Oh. It's 11.30 already? How long did we take our shower?"

Kyo put the covers on top of his and Yuki's naked bodies. "We confessed just about two hours ago. I don't mind. It felt like such a long time, us liking each other."

Yuki snuggled closer to Kyo. "I don't like you," he said, and Kyo frowned. "I love you."

Kyo made Yuki look up, and he kissed him. They kissed for a few minutes before going to sleep. "Goodnight, Yuki."

"Goodnight, Kyo. I hope you have a wet dream about me and you."

"Oh, I don't need that. I'll rape you when you're sleeping."

They both laughed and fell asleep, not dreaming of wet dreams.

TBC

-

Okay. They got together too fast. It's only the first night!

You guys thought that those thoughts are Kyo's, right? Wrong!

Kehkeh…

And I'm trying to avoid writing about them having sex, although I want so much to do it! Hot yaoi is, like, my life man! And i want to watch/play Sukisho! Anyone knows where to watch/play them for free?
