Here I Am
Intoxicating eyes fluttered open only half way, the only light flowing into the room from the bright stars of the new moon night. Haru scrapped his nails down Kyou's side with a feather like touch, he wanted to kiss the cat again, drink his essence and take that body that was perfect in more ways than one. But that would mean that he would close his eyes as pleasure would wash over him and at the moment he wanted nothing more than to watch that body breath, those eyes gaze lazily back at him. His hand slipped down Kyou's back when the feline adjusted himself in favor to lick a trail from Haru's bicep up to his shoulder. His leg slipped between his lover's pressing in just the right way to get a gasp before rolling them so that tan thighs startled a pale waist. And if it wasn't for the sadness in those lovely eyes, the ox would have been highly aroused.
"Kyou?" He reached up to caress a cheek.
The redhead leaned into the touch, kissing the palm that made his heart flutter with each tender touch it would give. "Haru," he whispered, leaning down so that his breath ghosted over the cheek he loved to kiss the most.
"What's wrong?"
Kyou knew that this was going to be stupid to ask, but he had to hear the answer, had to reaffirm it deep in his heart. He pulled back as to rest his weight on his hands that he placed on either side of Haru's head. How was he supposed to word this right? No matter how much he could think about it, it would seem that he could not come up with an answer. The only solution was to open his mouth and let the words come out.
"When I leave... You can't be with Rin."
Gray eyes narrowed in confusion, "What?"
"I..." His bottom lip started to quiver, the memory of Haru in the same bed as that bitch of a Horse right behind his eyelids. "I wouldn't be... able to handle it."
"Why would I go to be with Rin?" Haru frowned, he hated it when his kitten was upset. It angered him and stirred Black, each and every time. Time and time again he had seen everyone in his family become upset; cry, throw fits, shriek, and wail. It never bothered him as badly nor as quickly as seeing even the slightest of pained looks on Kyou.
He sat up, their bare chests pressing together as Kyou backed up a little so that he was sitting on his lap. "You're starting to sound like you're expecting something to happen."
"I just need you to know that when I leave if I hear anything about you and Rin being together I'd die."
"Are you threatening me?"
Kyou felt his chest tighten, "I'm saying I'd rather fucking kill myself than let you go!" He then pressed forward catching Haru in a kiss that he dominated. When he broke the kiss a small bit of saliva clung to the corner of his mouth, his eyes were hard as he held his chest while panting. Obviously Haru found it to be quite the turn on because he could feel the harness come to life underneath him. But thankfully before they did anything Haru wanted some answers himself.
"I'm not going anywhere. Why are you talking as if one of us will disappear?" Then his breath caught in his chest. That was right, Kyou was the cat. How could he have forgotten that? Each and every cat had been locked away in the past. The only question now was, "How... How much time is left?"
The redhead gave a small smile, running his hand through Haru's duel colored hair, "And people say you're slow. I didn't even have to tell you..." Kyou traced the ox's face with his eyes, memorizing everything as much as possible before he slowly answered, "Until graduation."
Haru pulled Kyou into a tight embrace. Too soon, it was much too soon.

The next day was hard on everyone. Everyone had gathered around in the living room, Shigure, Hatori and even Ayame were present as different plans were given only to find holes that would lead to the ultimate folly. Kyou wasn't there though. He was currently on the roof, eyes drowsy. The sun gave everything just the right temperature and Hoodoo was currently curled up on his belly purring so hard that it vibrated the redhead's belly. The only person he had not told his fate to was Hoodoo now and with the weather so perfect and the kid in such a lethargic mood, he decided he should go ahead and tell him.
"Hey, Hoodoo," he bounced his hips in order to get the large cat to roll off of his back and onto his black furry belly.
"No this has nothing to do with getting brothers and sisters," He rolled his eyes. God that kid was persistent. Just once they passed by a pet store and ever since then he was bent on having anything that he could even remotely call a sibling.
"Don't give me that look, you know perfectly well I can't give birth, I'm a guy! Don't get smart on me!"
Hoodoo finally decided to shut up and asked what was bothering his mother. Kyou had to take a calming breath. Damn it, Hoodoo really was Haru's kid, he was the most annoying and lovable thing around.
"Look brat, you're in a short while I'm going to be gone. You're gonna have to take care of your dad because he gets lost a lot, and he'll get very lonely so you'll need to try and cheer him up." He paused as Hoodoo spoke back, the kid already knew they weren't going to be together forever. A sense that all animals have when it comes to someone they care about. Kyou stroked lovely fur, closing his eyes when Hoodoo agreed to taking care of Haru. The black feline was strong, he was taking all of this the best out of everyone. Kyou gave a smile pulling Hoodoo up to lay next to his head. He gave the kid a kiss on the top of the head with a whispered, "That's my boy."
Now that everyone knew, it was time to just lay back and let things happen. Which reminded him of something he wanted to do.
There was the sound of the latter slapping against the roof shingles. Haru's white and black mop of hair came into sight before gray eyes peered up. The ox crawled up, careful not to loose his balance as he approached his lover. Kyou continued to lay there as Haru finally got to his side and sat down.
"What have you guys come up with?"
Hatsuharu licked his lips as he ran a hand through his hair. He wasn't feeling to peppy, and there was no wonder why. "Um..." His breathing was shuddering as he tried to think of the words to use."
"Nothing? That wouldn't surprise me."
"Actually, we have two, more like they have one and I have two."
"Oh?"
"They figured that if they get everyone to face Akito all together then he would have little to no choice then to consider our pleas."
"Haru?"
"Yeah?"
Kyou sat up and suddenly gave a smile so beautiful and soft with a grin that made Haru's breath stop. That smile, he'd only seen it once before, it was right after they had finished making love for the first time. It was that look of pure love that wrapped Haru's heart like a blanket of security. Nothing bad could ever happen when that smile came upon the cat's face.
"Would you like to go on a date with me?"
Gray eyes widened as a mouth became slack jawed. Had he heard him right?
