A/N: Updating again! I can only do it on the weekends now though. By the way, I'm asking people PLEASE visit/comment my deviant art site: emo-ish-ness-nyah. deviantart. com (minus spaces). I promise my drawings don't suck too much! (And soon I'm going to add a really good one from the fanfic. just gotta decide if ti'll be black/white or colored). Anyway, on to the chapter. Drama ensued.


"Oh no, it's raining!" Tohru exclaimed, standing up from their card game. "I have to go bring the laundry in!"

"I'll help you." Kyo said, getting up. "WE'LL CONTINUE THIS LATER." he told Uotani before following Tohru out of the room.

When Kyo caught up with Tohru, she was standing in front of Yuki's room, a worried expression on her face.

"What's wrong?" Kyo asked.

Tohru looked at Yuki's door, confusion in her eyes. "There are strange noises coming from Yuki-kun's room. I wonder if he's okay..." Tohru said quietly.

Kyo stopped to listen. Sure enough, he heard some... noises. He heard a female voice coming from within calling out Yuki's name. His eyes snapped open and his face flushed red when he realized exactly what these "noises" were. "Damn pervert..." he muttered under his breath.

"Should I go inside to see what's up?" Tohru asked, about to open the door.

Kyo grabbed her wrist. "NO!" She looked up, surprised, into the face of a madly blushing Kyo. "I don't think... you should disturb him right now... He's a bit... occupied."

Tohru was more confused than ever. "Are you sure he's okay?"

"Oh I think he's MORE than okay." Kyo told her, now hearing Yuki's voice in the midst of the "noise".

"Huh? What do you mean? What's he doing?"

"Believe me, you DON'T want to know." Kyo cleared his throat. "Anyway, I think the laundry needs you more than he does."

"Oh right!" Tohru scampered off down the hall.

Kyo cast one last disgusted/scared/appalled look at the door before following her.


Shigure was casually walking past Yuki's room when he heard noises coming from inside. He peeked in and saw some (censored, censored) things and his facial expression changed to a conniving one. He slide the door closed and laughed. "Akito-san would like to hear this..."
Yuki awoke to the sound of rain pattering on the windows. What... happened...? He turned around to come face to face with a sleeping naked Machi. His face turned red as a roasted tomato as the events came flooding back to him. We must have fallen asleep after... He smiled as he saw the peaceful expression on her face.

He got up and began gathering his clothes and putting them on.

"I'M HOME YUN-YUN! WHAT'S U-" Manabe stopped in his tracks as he looked into the room, and his smile faded. The sight he saw looked something like this: Machi asleep in Yuki's futon NAKED, and Yuki wearing just his pants (thankfully) and picking up his shirt from the various array of scattered clothing. Manabe's expression suddenly turned the most hostile anyone had ever seen it. "YOU F---ING BASTARD."

Yuki looked up, and his heart almost stopped beating. "K-Kekeru..."

At this point, Machi awoke, sitting up (careful to cover herself with sheets) and rubbing her eyes. Then she saw what was going on before her and looked from Manabe to Yuki nervously.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU!" Manabe's eyes almost turned red with anger as he swung a fist and hit Yuki squarely in the jaw, bringing him to his knees. Yuki could have easily dodged such a punch before, but now his reflexes seemed to have failed him and he just sat there, not doing or saying anything.

"KEKERU!" Machi shrieked, but unable to leave the futon in all her naked glory.

Manabe punched Yuki again. "I TRUSTED YOU!" And again. "YOU WERE MY BEST FRIEND!" And again. "I EVEN APPROVED OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH MY SISTER!" And again. "AND AS SOON AS I GIVE THE OPPURTUINITY YOU TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HER!" He landed one more punch and stepped back, his knuckles dripping with Yuki's blood, which was flowing steadily from Yuki's nose and mouth. But he still couldn't bring himself to move.

"Kekeru, I wanted to too!" Machi was crying now. "Stop it! I love him!"

"You say that, but how can that really be true? YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT HIM!" Manabe yelled, turning on Machi. He looked from Machi to Yuki one more time. "You... both of you... YOU DISGUST ME." With that he turned heel and left the room, leaving a heavy silence plus Yuki's coughing and Machi's sobbing.

"I... I'm sorry..." Yuki said through the blood. "This is all... my fault... You... should go now..."

Machi got up and got dressed before fleeing from the room, crying all the way.


"Got into a fight, did you?" Hatori said as he looked at Yuki's face, which had thankfully stopped bleeding.

Yuki didn't reply.

Ayame walked in and saw Yuki and Hatori before laughing. "Wow! I never thought making love was so dangerous these days!"

"That's not what happened... it was- hey wait a second!" Yuki turned deep red. "You two know about that...?"

Both Ayame and Hatori nodded.

"D-Does Shigure know?" Yuki asked nervously. "I don't want him to tell Akito... He'll... hurt her..."

Ayame kneeled by Yuki's side and put a hand on his shoulder with a chuckle. "Do you distrust your brother that much? I won't tell anyone. And neither will you, right Hatori?" Hatori nodded and Ayame turned back to Yuki. "Don't worry about a thing, Yuki, your secret's safe with us!" He winked. He suddenly looked serious. "Non non, Yuki! We cannot have the beautiful face of the brother that so dearly resembles the handsome Sohma Ayame being marred, can we? What happened?"

Yuki looked into the face of his brother, so full of concern and caring for him. Tohru-kun may be the over-competent replacement for a not-so-competent mother, but in front of him was his brother, his real brother. Suddenly the events of the day caught up with Yuki and he covered his mouth wit his hand and squinted his eyes, tears leaking out of them and down his cheeks. "Nii-san..." Yuki grabbed him and hugged him, and Ayame was taken aback by his sudden emotion. "Nii-san... I... hate you!" Yuki said before he began crying into the comfort he had needed for so many years.

"There, there little brother... everything will be okay. You're amazing, reliable, and not to mention handsome brother will make everything okay..." Ayame er... comforted? Yuki.

Yuki laughed inspite of the tears. "Baka Nii-san."

Hatori watched them, smiling. Well what do you know. Ayame CAN do something right.


"Manabe... I don't know what's bugging you and frankly... I don't really care! So can you please leave?" Kyo grumbled, anger marks twitching all over his head.

"Yuki and I had a fight!" Manabe whimpered.

"BUT WHY DOES THAT MEAN YOU CAN SLEEP IN MY BED?"
Aww, so cute. I just had to add some Ayame/Yuki brotherly love! But Manabe and Yuki aren't having a good time This chapter was rather short because I'm tired and I have school tomorrow, but atleast it came! See you next week (hopefully).
