YAY it's the third chapter! Woot. (finally) Sorry it took so long, but school has been keeping me really busy. But the quarter ended (and you should all be proud to know I got a 4.0! XP) so I can relax.

Okay, my computer decided to be mean to me and not let links show up accurately… so some of you, I got your e-mails from your profile, but I couldn't get an e-mail for yukizgurl666. If that is you, or you want the lemon for THIS chapter, please put your e-mail in the following form: blahblahblah at whatever dot com. Okay? Thanks…

Chapter Three

After Haru and Kyo's minor public display of affection, Akito had warned the young couple not to show their blossoming love around anyone else, ever again. The traumatized Tohru had been sent off to Hatori to have the incident erased from her memory, and Kyo went back to Shigure's for dinner.

"What's for dinner?" Kyo asked the second he stepped in the door.

"I think that's up to you," Shigure responded without bothering to look up from his newspaper.

"Why do I get to decide?" strangely upset over something positive happening. Then again, Kyo enjoyed picking fights.

"Because Tohru's not home so you're cooking," Shigure explained, turning the page.

"What?" Kyo exclaimed, jumping onto the table dramatically. "Why doesn't Mr. Perfect Yuki cook, huh?"

"Do you really trust Yuki with your food?" Shigure asked, setting down the newspaper and looking up at the enraged cat. Kyo's thoughts immediately turned to images of burnt rice and unidentifiable meat. Sighing, he gave up and walked into the kitchen. It was times like these when Kyo really began to appreciate Tohru.

Just as Kyo was putting the rice in the rice cooker, there was a knock on the door into the kitchen. Wondering why someone would come to the kitchen door and not the main door, Kyo went to open it to find Haru staring back at him, blankly.

"Har? What are you doing here?" Kyo asked, letting his cousin inside.

"I didn't really feel like going back to the main house," Haru sighed. "So I decided to come here. And then I decided to take the road less traveled and after I realized I had already passed by the house five times, I finally made my way here."

Kyo blinked at Haru. 'How does he always get lost so easily?' he wondered, turning back to dinner.

"Do you need help with dinner?" Haru asked, gesturing towards the boiling pot.

"You can cook?" Kyo asked, skeptical.

"Well… no," Haru sighed, peering at a few vegetables on the counter. "But it's always nice to offer."

'How come no one knows how to cook?' Kyo wondered. Then, to Haru, he said, "Do you want me to teach you?"

"You could do that?" Haru said, looking at Kyo. Kyo swore a small smiled graced Haru's face momentarily before it returned to its normally placid gaze.

"Yeah, sure, come here," Kyo said, moving over to show Haru what he was doing. "Now, you just have to cut up the carrots, like this, and I'll make the fish. Got it?"

"Sure," Haru said, grabbing the knife from Kyo. Kyo turned around to continue cooking, when he realized there were no chopping sounds. Kyo turned his head to see Haru, gazing blankly at the carrots.

"Don't tell me you don't know how to cut carrots?" Kyo sighed, exasperated.

"Huh? Oh… I just…," Haru said, trailing off. It was obvious to Kyo that his lover's mind was in a separate place (though, how does one really tell when Haru isn't all there?).

'Poor Haru, he's probably really upset about today,' Kyo contemplated. 'Oh well, I know how to cheer him up. AHAHAHA!'

"Let me show you, it's really easy," Kyo said. He stood behind Haru and put his hands on Haru's forearms, then began to manipulate Haru's hands so that he was easily cutting the carrots. Tilting his head, he whispered, "See? Easy." His breath tickled Haru's neck, and Haru shuddered under the touch.

"K-Kyo, we aren't… we aren't supposed to…" Haru protested, moaning, as Kyo took a step into Haru, letting the younger boy feel his erection.

"They don't have to know," Kyo whispered. "We're all alone." Haru didn't want to get in any more trouble, but Kyo's touch felt so… good.

"Ah, Kyo," Haru moaned as Kyo lips gently brushed down Haru's neck. Kyo was so close, his touch, it was right there… all Haru had to do was reach out and…

"Get it," Haru smiled. Kyo looked up at Haru, a puzzled look in his eyes, but before he could say anything, Haru captured his lips with his own, crushing them with so much force, possession. He wanted Kyo, and only Kyo.

Kyo willingly opened up for Haru, but didn't submit to him, battling for dominance with his tongue. Kyo ran two finger tips down Haru's spine, stopping at the tailbone and made small, gentle eights on Haru's back.

"Ungh, Kyo…" Haru muttered, removing his mouth from Kyo's and bringing his lips down to Kyo's neck. He started off gently rubbing circles on the pale skin with his tongue, but quickly got rough, biting and marking Kyo as his own.

"Mm, Haru…" Kyo moaned. He brought his hands up Haru's shirt and to the front, where he began playfully teasing Haru's nipples. Haru brought his lips back up to Kyo's and Kyo began unbuttoning Haru's shirt, letting it fall casually to the floor. He placed one leg in between Haru's, rubbing against Haru's erection with his thigh.

"Oh, mm, Kyo," Haru gasped, grabbing onto Kyo's back and digging it with his nails. He had only managed to unbutton Kyo's shirt halfway, but Kyo quickly tore it off, tossing it onto the growing heap of clothes. He nudged Haru with his thigh and gently pushed him to the ground, admiring the younger teen beneath him, his hands possessively on Haru's chest and his eyes full of desire.

"God, Kyo," Haru gasped as Kyo gently brushed Haru's painfully throbbing erection. He quickly silenced Haru's moans with a kiss as he took off Haru's pants and then kicked off his own. Kyo grabbed Haru's erection through his boxers, making Haru cry out Kyo's name in desire.

Smiling, he bent down and began tracing Haru's swollen lips with his tongue. Haru brought his hands up and gently pushed Kyo's chest, forcing his lover to sit back up. He then began licking the crevice between Kyo's collar bones, working his way down the line that divided Kyo's chest in half. Then, he began sucking on Kyo's stiff nipples, circling them with his tongue and playfully sucking up the saliva he left behind.

"Ah, Haru!" Kyo moaned, falling backwards. Haru followed him, never breaking contact between his mouth and Kyo's chest. "Be my… Valentine, Haru," Kyo finally gasped out, panting beneath Haru and leaning up to lick his earlobe.

"Oh!" Haru gasped, arching into the teen beneath him. He collapsed onto Kyo, panting and moaning. Kyo reached up and wrapped his arms around Haru's waist, bringing the ox's head into his chest.

When Haru finally managed to regain his breath, he pushed himself up so he could look down at Kyo.

"Of course I'll be your Valentine, kitten," Haru smirked, kissing Kyo's forehead.

Just then, the fire alarm went off.

"Holy shit!" Kyo screamed, pulling himself out from under Haru and standing up, eyes wide in horror when he saw the water had boiled over and the stove was smoking.

"Fuck!" Haru cried out, frantically looking around for a fire distinguisher. Kyo madly tried to bat the fire out with his shirt.

And that was the scene that Yuki and Shigure entered the kitchen to see. Two teenagers in boxer shorts, attempting to put out a fire, their lips swollen and necks and chests covered in love bites.

Haru and Kyo froze when Yuki and Shigure had entered. Shigure also froze and if it weren't for Yuki, who calmly grabbed the fire extinguisher and put out the fire as if this was a normal occurrence, the fire would have been forgotten until it had consumed the entire house.

"Kyo and… Haru? Haru… and Kyo?" Shigure finally whispered. Haru and Kyo exchanged glances. The silence was deafening, until Shigure burst out laughing. "Hahahaha, Kyo and Haru sitting in a tree, s-e-x-y seeeexy!" Shigure sang obnoxiously. Yuki walked up behind Shigure and hit him over the head with the fire extinguisher.

Shigure and Haru sat in awkward silence in the dining room. After the little "incident" with Haru and Kyo, Haru had been banned from entering Shigure's kitchen ever again. Shigure then sent Yuki to help Kyo finish cooking dinner. After all, he wanted to make sure Kyo didn't start masturbating into his miso.

"So…" Shigure said, his elbows on the table and his fingers tapping together.

"Yes?" Haru asked, breaking out of his glazed over stare.

"So… how long have you and… you and…?" Shigure asked, tapping his fingers so hard that the table was starting to shake.

Haru blinked at Shigure, wondering how to begin answering the question. Shigure blinked back, urging Haru to go on. Haru rolled his eyes and sighed, standing up and walking out of the room.

"W-wait! Haru, where are you going!" Shigure asked.

"Kyo and Yuki are taking a longer time than expected, so I'm going to see what's up," Haru explained.

"Well, I'm coming with you!" Shigure demanded quickly. He did NOT want Haru and Kyo rolling around on his kitchen floor, stark naked, again.

"Fine," Haru sighed, continuing to walk towards the kitchen.

The pair stopped, however, when they heard strange noises coming from inside…

"Ungh, Kyo!" a breathless Yuki exclaimed.

"Harder!" Kyo called back.

"I'm… I'm trying!" Yuki whined.

"God, Yuki!" Kyo panted.

Shigure and Haru exchanged confused glances, but said nothing. A crash was heard, and the conversation went on.

"Oh, oh, Kyo," Yuki moaned.

"Ah! Yuki, Yuki!" Kyo wailed.

"Ah, oh, K-k…" Yuki cried.

A banging was heard, followed by a loud thump.

"Yuki, my head!" Kyo cried.

"I'm… I… OH!" Yuki screamed.

Haru's eyes widened in horror and Shigure had to bite his hand to keep from cackling in hysteria.

"Yuki!" Kyo screamed.

"I'm… I'm coming!" Yuki panted.

"Neh, Yu…yuki! Yuki!" Kyo wailed.

"KYO!" Yuki cried, and another loud bang was heard.

"Ah… ah…," Kyo whimpered, sounding content.

Shigure couldn't take it anymore. He let out a soft snicker, but quickly stopped laughing when he noticed the anger flash in Haru's eyes.

"Um… Haru, you might want to… to calm down a little… before," Shigure suggested.

"Before what?" Black Haru snapped. "Before I turn black? Well, too late, buddy boy! That Yuki's gone too far this time! Not with MY VALENTINE!"

"Um… Haru?" Shigure meekly choked out, but Haru had already stormed into the kitchen.

"Get off my Valentine, you rat!" Haru screamed, pointing an accusing finger at a sweaty Yuki who was lying on the floor on top of Kyo.

"Your… your WHAT?" Yuki asked, confused, until he realized he was lying on top of an orange haired cat. "Oh, oh shit, Har… this isn't, this isn't…"

"Don't try to say this isn't what this looks like!" Haru yelled. "I know what this looks like, and I heard it, too!"

"You… you heard it… you heard what?" Kyo asked, even more confused than Yuki. 'What's going on?' Kyo wondered.

"Oh, Kyo," Haru moaned, imitating Yuki. "I'm coming! KYO!"

The color in Kyo and Yuki's faces immediately drained, and they seemed completely paralyzed.

Finally, Kyo managed to speak. "Well, you see, what happened was… Yuki and I were trying to move this table here," Kyo explained, gesturing towards the kitchen table that was lying lopsided on the floor.

"And, well, the little pansy Yuki was too weak to move it right, and so he dropped it, and then I backed up from the table, and Yuki tried to warn me, but it was too late, and I ran into the cabinet and the dishes fell and broke," Kyo continued, pointing to the shattered dishes on the floor.

"And so the cabinet fell on my head," Kyo said. "And I couldn't get the cabinet off of me, so the loaf of a girl that's known as Yuki came over and finally managed to get the cabinet off… and you see, that's when you came in…"

"Listen, Har, I know it sounds bad, but…" Yuki tried to explain, hoping to sooth Kyo.

"But you've gotta' believe me when I say I would never lay a hand on that filthy rat unless it was to beat the crap out of him!" Kyo interrupted.

"Never lay a hand on ME? Beat the crap out of ME?" Yuki exclaimed, shocked. "I don't want to burst your bubble, but I think it's the other way around…"

"What? Don't make fun of MY kitten, Yuki!" Haru cried, swinging to punch Yuki. Yuki, however, easily dodged the futile attempt, and yawned mockingly.

"As usual, I think that this household is far too immature and inept for my presence," Yuki declared. "I'll be in my room."

Yuki left, leaving Haru, Yuki, and Shigure to all stare at each other, wondering what had just happened.

"Well, maybe you too should get started on cleaning this kitchen, and I'll call for takeout, neh?" Shigure suggested, bolting from the disaster scene.

Haru sighed, obviously back to his usual self, and began searching for a broom to clean up the broken dishes. When he noticed Kyo wasn't helping him, he quickly turned back to him and blatantly stated, "Help."

"I dunno…" Kyo sighed, hands in his pockets as he slowly moved towards Haru. "I think I had OTHER things in mind. You know, now that we're all… alone…" Haru's eyes widened in realization as Kyo gently pressed his lips against the younger teen's. Down the hall, the crash from yet another shattering dish could be heard.
