Chapter One: One Blanket (Kyo's P.O.V)
Yume chewed on her pink lower lip furiously. Her arms were wrapped tightly around her legs to keep warm as I rummaged through the house looking for some sort of heat insulation. Her raven hair was piled upon the oak floor and I felt my eyes rest on her. Pulling away my gaze was impossible so I snapped,
"You-…lazy ass, are you going to help me?"
Her eyes narrowed dangerously at me and my heart pounded in my ears. The green flecks danced within the ice blue depths as her eyes glowed with fire.
"I am not lazy! I'm just like you-a cat who hates cold and wetness."
"At least I'm a cat who is hunting!"
"I'm cold! You…"
Yume's lower lip trembled as tears dribbled down her cheeks. I blinked at her sudden mood change then lowered my eyes. I felt bad for reminding her…about our curse.
She was the Bearer of the Mark of Yang…the most cursed out of every single Sohma, including myself. Her animal was the Black Leopard- a leopard pitch black with barely visible blue spots. Akito detested her with a passion and the thin scars trailing down her shoulder to her collar bone was the indicator of his displeasure.
I noticed Yume cradling a gigantic square of thick cotton fabric. It was black and fuzzy with a deep blood-colored rose. A blanket!
My mouth dropped open at Yume who sniffled dramatically. I tried not to smirk at her smart-aleckyness and instead forced a scowl on my features.
"You little-"
"This is the only blanket."
Did I hear her correctly?
I stared at the Yume with all her dark beauty and sputtered,
"One…blanket?"
She beamed her pearly white fangs and jiggled her head up and down enthusiastically.
Oh G-O-D. Oh my fucking G-O-D.
Just the thought of her being so close…
The shivers radiated down my spine as I pictured her supple lips pressing against my own, her hands tangling in my hair as I…
No. I refused to have myself enticed by her. I felt myself stand straight as I resolved:
Nothing could make me crumble to the heat in the pit of my stomach. Nothing!
I hope…
Shadow: Did Kyo seem OOC? I thought he did… If he is I'm sorry! I wrote this at like…3 o'clock in the morn! Yes. Kyo wants to…
Kitsuna: Do they really need to hear that?
Shadow: Oops. (Blushes) Ahem. The P.O.Vs will be as follows: Third Person, Kyo, Yume and repeat. Thankies skankies.
Kitsuna: Read and review!
Shadow: Whose story is this?!
Kitsuna: Oops. (Cheesy Grin)
Shadow: Bye!
