Okay you asked for it. Here's the first chapter. Slightly longer than the prolouge, but not much. I warn you. It's not pretty. No fluff with in 100 miles, folks.


Chapter One -

Yuki's POV

The rat sat in his room the next day.

Many thoughts were coursing thorugh his mind at a rapid pace.

He loved Kyo, that much was true.

At least he thought it was.

But this hiding their relationship, was getting old.

The thrill he once got was no longer there and yet Kyo was fine with everything.

The cat would still shout insults at the rat like he hated him.

Then at night when the house was quiet, Kyo would draw Yuki into his arms and kiss him tenderly.

Somtimes their makeout sessions would become heated.

But before they could do the thing Yuki most wanted, Kyo would push him away and say, 'Tohru is right next door.'

Something wasn't as it should be.

"Yuki-kun. Breakfast is ready."

He stood up and goes downstairs.

Kyo stood at the refridgerator gulping milk from the carton as usual.

Yuki made the noise of disgust that was expected and sits down at the table.

The conversation that ensued, was mostly Tohru talking about an upcoming school project.

When they start out to walk to school, Yuki hold Tohru's hand.

He knew this would make Kyo inwardly cringe.

This made the rat smile.

As soon as they arrive at school, Yuki heads for the bathroom.

He suspected Kyo would follow and the cat does.

How predictable.

"What was that about?"

Kyo demands sticking his face close to Yuki's.

"What was what?"

The rat asks innocently.

The cat looks pained.

"What's up with you latley, Yuki? You've been acting strange." He asks.

"Nothing's wrong kitty." Yuki replies.

He glances around to make sure no one was watching, then gives Kyo a quick peck on the lips.

"I just had a hard night."

The rat smiles and Kyo returns the gesture.

"Okay I'll see you later."

Kyo reaches up and gently strokes the rat's cheek with his hand, then leaves.

"Thank God he's gone."

Yuki mutters under his breath.

Why does he insist upon smothering me.

The rat turns and leaves the bathroom.

During class he begins to think about breaking it off with Kyo.

Then he realizes he'd be alone, and that would suit him.

Perhaps he's just put up with the cat.

For now.


Tis horrible. I know. But I did warn you, did I not? Well review please. Flames welcom just as long as they tell me something to inprove on.
