Chapter Twenty-Two -
Kyo was holding both of Yuki's hands in his own, and gazing into his eyes. The rat found the cat's beautiful red eyes slightly distracting.
"Well?" He asks impatiently.
The cat clears his throat, before speaking. "Okay, you know how the cat isn't a member of the zodiac right?" Yuki nods. He knew this, and had always felt a twinge of guilt about it. "Well Akito and I made a bet a little while back. If I could be you, then I could officially be a member of the zodiac. If I couldn't, I would be locked up in the cage, after graduation."
Yuki didn't understand. So was that why Kyo used to fight him so often?
"Wait, so did you tell me you loved me in an attempt to defeat me?" The rat suddenly asks. The moment the words leave his mouth, he knew he had made a huge mistake. That was supposed to only be a thought.
Kyo looked like Yuki had just slapped him,hard.
"Y-yuki? How can you ask me that? Of course I didn't just tell you my feelings in an attempt to defeat you. I really do love you. It's true, not something fabricated.
Yuki gazes into his lovers eyes. The swirling emotion clouded the beautiful red. The rat decided Kyo was, in fact, telling the truth. Whatever had made him have such doubt, was unknown.
"Okay I believe you. I'm sorry I said that. But why haven't you told me this before? I would have let you win or something." Kyo sighs and shakes his head. "No. See, I have to win honestly. You can't let me win. That would defeat the purpose."
Yuki still didn't quite understand. But he trusted Kyo enough to nod in agreement. "Okay. I don't really get all this, but I trust and love you Kyo." They share a quick passionate kissing, keeping in mind Tohru and Shigure were watching. When they pull back, Yuki whispers, "I don't want you to be locked up."
Kyo chokes back a sob and looks at Shigure. The dog shrugs.
It was obvious that all didn't know what to do.
