CHAPTER 3: DREAMS

I hope I'm updating fast enough! Thank you so much for reviewing! Thank you!

Hmm….I love Kyo too…I would never make him suffer in vain…in the end I hope he'll have a happy ending…in fanfics, anime and manga…but it's always good to see him in the spotlight a little :P

Warnings: Yaoi, weird sadistic Akito, cute Kyo! and a tiny bit of cursing.

Disclaimer: I wish I owned Kyo! But I don't…or any of the fruits character for a fact.

O.o

"Akito-san. The cat is here as you requested"

"Good…bring the thing in here and leave"

"yes sir"

Hatori entered the dark room two minutes later, leading a small child. He placed the small child in the middle of the room and turned to leave. Only to stop when he realized Kyo's small hand hadn't detached from his.

"Kyo let go of my hand please" Hatori tugged his hand a little but the child didn't let go. He looked down and met a pair of fearful crimson eyes.

"Hatori-san…don't leave me here…please" the small child half whimpered and whispered. His big pretty eyes pleading.

"you'll be ok Kyo, Akito-san just wants to speak to you" Hatori said softly, his face barely tugging a rare tiny warm smile for Kyo. He then tugged his hand a little harder, realising it from the small grasp. He turned and walked out the door.

The boy watched sadly as Hatori left and turned to look at the silhouette by the window. It was small and frail, but it was also dark. Even darker than the night that was being slightly illuminated by the full moon. No, Kyo could tell the difference between both. He loved the clean dark that came with the night. It was light and soft. Always playing this beautiful melody only he and the rest of his feline friends could hear.

This dark was heavy on the little boy's heart.

"Kyo….Why are you afraid?" a soft voice asked the boy.

"I…I'm not afraid" the boy mumbled.

"You're not?...Why?"

"Shishou says I must always be brave. No matter what"


"Really…Well, you should know everyone is afraid of me. Hatori, Kazuma, Shigure and even your worse enemy…the rat."

The little boy looked up at Akito. The older boy had crawled out of his shadows and now stood in front of the window. His pale face illuminated by the moon. His dark eyes clear and cold. Kyo frowned and looked at the other boy for a second before calmly answering.

"But I'm not…Cause I'm not like the stup…like the rat."

Akito eyes slanted coldly at this statement. He hated the stupid cat and his guts. Everyone feared him! Everyone! What did he think he was superior to the rest! He should fear him just like everyone else! He should look at him like if he were some sort of nightmare!


"And why don't you fear me" He spat.

"Because...You're just a human being. Just like the rest of us…unlucky, yes...cursed like us…maybe even worse. But a person like me and Shishou and the rest. Someone who deserves to have a home, and be loved. Not just cared for…but also loved. Someone who doesn't deserve to suffer" The little boy stooped and looked at Akito. A soft smile and caring smile on his lips…his eyes big and tender…caring.

Akito looked at the boy open mouthed. The words replaying furiously in his mind. No one had ever said that to him. No one had ever said those words and really mean them! He didn't know what to say, for some reason he wanted to believe what the smaller boy had said. But could he believe it? After all, it was something the disgusting cat had said…but… the cat was just like him…wasn't it?

It was shunned and feared like him. Akito had never really been loved…why…because he was the head of the family?...It had always made his heart sour to know nobody really loved him. He had often cried…he had often raged…he had done so much…he was trying to force Yuki to love him! He had tried to force Hatori! But they didn't! and now here was the cat…understanding him! Telling him that he needs to be loved!

Kyo looked at Akito as the boy seemed to battle with himself. The small boy was very tired…it was way past his bedtime and he had gotten up early to train. He was trying to stifle a yawn when he gasped surprised when he felt himself embraced by thin long arms.

"Do you really think I deserved that?...to be loved?" Akito asked really softly...hugging the boy gently. Kyo smiled and softly returned the hug...Shishou liked it when he was hugged and he was pretty sure Akito would like it too.

"Yes...everyone does…otherwise it would feel bad…doesn't it…I felt bad when mommy left me…and now I'm much better with shishou…I don't think you should feel bad too…nobody should"

"Then will you…will you love me?" Akito asked…feeling for the first time in his life ashamed yet wishing for the answer.

"I will" Kyo said softly, he looked up at the older boy "that's a strange thing to ask...if you want to be loved why don't you just be nice?"

"I can't...I'm not allowed to…I'm the head of the family…I'm supposed to be feared…to have control."


"but then how will you be loved?" the young boy asked innocently.

Akito smiled and looked down at Kyo. He had never noticed how beautiful the boy really was. As beautiful as Yuki, yet in a very different way. Yuki was china doll beautiful. But it was a cold beauty. Perhaps it was Akito's fault it was getting that way. Yet Kyo…He was cute...warm…his red eyes blazing…his tanned faced dazzling…his orange hair shining and giving off light. He was gorgeous. It was like Kyo's beauty was alive.

"Do you love me?...If you love me that will be enough for me…just to know someone really does care for me...will you love me?"

Kyo smiled at Akito. His innocent heart taking the request easily and giving simple nod he promised Akito he will love him as much as Shishou.


"Well then this will be our secret…ok Kyo?...you must promise to never tell anyone how much you will love me…and how much I will…love...how much I will love you"

"I promise Akito-san" Kyo said enthusiastically. The boy was speaking from the heart…he had promised to love Akito and he will try to. But it was also exiting to have a secret with someone…like a club or something. He smiled and hugged the older boy as Akito for the first time in his life gave a real smile and hugged him back.

They stayed like that for a while…and Akito gently rocked Kyo. Feeling extremely strange. He had planned to make this a horrid night for the boy and here he was hugging him and for some reason caring for him.

Finally he shock Kyo softly and the boy woke from his slight doze.

"I think it's time for you to leave…but I will call you back. Promise never to speak anything of what we said here to anyone. This will be our secret kyo…just me and you. Ok?"

"ok Akito-san"

"Good" Akito said pleased and he gently kissed the boys cheek before calling Hatori. Who came in quickly.

"Take him away" Akito snapped quickly returning to his old self "and don't bother me for the rest of the night"

"yes Akito-san".

Akito laid on his bed soon after Hatori and Kyo were gone. This hadn't gone the way he planned it at all. Yet he wasn't upset. For the first time in years…he felt contented.

O.o

Now Akito laid in his bed. Cold and angry. Remembering that night. He often remembered that night. He hid his anguish from everyone else…but he couldn't hold it at night. 'Kyo…'

"You forgot our promise Kyo…You forgot our night…You forgot me…"

O.o

Wow! So out of character! Jajajajajaja. Well I updated as fast as I could! In the middle of a storm too! I hope this chapter isn't too stupid. I kind of did it fast and I like to plan my stories (which I didn't do here).

Ok…so I do think when Kyo was small he was innocent but also smart. Thus the way I made him speak here was a little mature...but I believe all Sohmas were a little mature when they were young…since they went through so many things! Plus I think Kyo has always been a brave little guy!

And I don't think Akito is a sick bastard just because he was born that way. Deep inside I think he's just angry and is really a nice guy…really deep inside…really really deep…inside. :P

Thanks again for reviewing! Love you guys!
