Thank you to all those that reviewed! I loved reading all of them ^^
I woke up groggily the next day, blinking my eyes slowly in an attempt to wake up. I looked over to see Yuki still asleep. I glanced over at the window, surprised at how it was. I slowly sat up and winced at the stinging in my lower back. Damn, why did he have to- I cut off my own train of thought as I shot of bed, falling on the floor because of the blankets caught around my legs. I quickly shoved it off as I dashed off to the bathroom. I just barely made it in time before I was on my knees in front of the toilet.
"Kyo?" I could hear Yuki come in and felt him run a hand over my forehead, pushing my bangs back. My stomach felt even worse than usual and I was starting to feel light-headed.
"Y-Yuki…" I tried to tell him but another puking fit cut me off. I was dry heaving at this point, almost nothing coming up.
"Kyo, what's wrong?" My back was tensing up by the time I finally stopped throwing up.
"Get…Hatori…" I panted, completely exhausted.
I leaned Kyo against the wall next to the toilet and shot out of the room, catching Shigure on his way up the stairs. "Call Hatori. Something's wrong."
I paced back and forth in the hall, unwilling to move downstairs with everyone else. What happened? I stopped pacing and leaned against the wall and pressed a hand to my forehead. I looked up rapidly when I heard footsteps coming up the stairs, surprised when I saw Leo and Suo.
"Leo, Suo, what-"
"Kyo is really sick,-"
"-isn't he?" I gave them a weak smile at how they finished each other's sentences. I knelt down and hugged the both of them. "He's going to be fine, alright?" Just then the door behind us opened and Hatori stepped out.
"Yuki, can you come in here?" I immediately stood up and turned around to face him.
"Haa-san!" He gave them both a small smile and crouched down, giving each a hug before pulling back.
"I need to talk to Yuki now. Can you keep Aya and Gure company for me?" They both nodded enthusiastically and ran back downstairs, the both of us staying exactly where we were until we were sure they were gone. Once this was done Hatori turned wordlessly back into the room, leaving me there to hesitate for a moment before following.
I looked up when I heard the door open again. Yuki walked over to me as soon as he came in the room, sitting on the bed next to me to pull me close.
"Baka neko. Stop scaring people." Yuki pulled back when he heard Hatori clear his throat. We both looked over to see Hatori run a hand through his hair.
"I suppose I can't blame either of you for this. I was going to tell you later today but…"
"Tell us what damn it? Why the hell didn't you tell us in the first place?" Hatori sent me a cold look while Yuki put his hand over mine.
"I was getting to that. Now I need you two to answer a few questions before I can be entirely sure-" Hatori held up a hand when I opened my mouth to interrupt again.
"- of what I am about to say." Yuki and I stayed silent at that and I contented myself with just glaring at him as he pulled a folder out of his bag.
"Now Kyo, has your morning sickness ever been this bad? Did you notice anything different?" I shook my head."
"No and yeah. It was longer and worse this time, almost like my stomach was being turned inside out." Hatori frowned and wrote something down while I turned to Yuki, confused. The rat simply shrugged his shoulders, equally in the dark on the matter. Hatori continue to frown as he put that folder down on the desk and pulled another out from his bag, setting them side-by-side to compare notes.
This does not look good. I looked back and forth between my notes, but no matter how hard I looked, I always came to the same conclusion. I sighed, standing and pinching the bridge of my nose. Wonderful. I have to ask Shigure to check on things in the main house. I looked back at the teenagers sitting on the bed, weighing whether or not I should tell them the whole thing.
"This was no normal morning sickness or stomach bug. It's nothing fatal," I quickly added when I saw both of them go rigid. "but I sincerely regret not telling you this sooner. The two of you shouldn't have done anything last night because Kyo's body is still unstable. Sadly enough, you only had another week and a half or so until it would have done so.
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"Hatori, what do you mean by 'stable'?" I sighed as I sat down in the desk chair. I could practically see Yuki connecting the dots in his head. Kyo looked between the two of us and scowled.
"What's going on damn it?" I sighed again.
"It's not what you thinking, so you can relax." I watched as Yuki's shoulders slumped in relief. He turned to Kyo before he could start yelling again.
"I'll tell you later, I promise." Kyo frowned but stayed silent.
"Because of last night, I don't think your body will stabilize for quite some time. N-"
"What the hell is 'stable' anyway? Damn it Hatori, just tell me already!"

I was getting pissed at how Hatori kept sighing at whatever I said. I was about to snap at him again when he finally answered me.
"You have to have realized by now that there are major differences between guys and girls. That being said, the serum was something new introduced to your body. Because, however, you r body is not female, it rejected it. Like anything else, it would have taken some time for the drug to be completely clear of your system and for your body to return to normal, or 'stabilize'. Do you follow?" I nodded, trying to connect the following dots.
"So when…" I felt like an idiot as I sat there trying to think everything out but Yuki didn't say a thing, just squeezed my hand.
"You said it would stabilize again, but then you said it was almost done. What stopped…" My eyes widened and I could feel the bottom of my stomach drop out.
"Please don't-"
"Kyo, he said it wasn't what you think. You can relax." I was worried when Kyo just kept staring out into space. I looked over to Hatori who looked about as worried as I was.
"I'll let you talk to him. Just remember to be extra careful from now on." I nodded and got off the bed to kneel in front of Kyo as Hatori gathered his things and left quietly.
"Kyo, please look at me." His gaze slowly focused on me and I breathed a small sigh of relief.
"Kyo, everything is fine. Everything's going to be ok, I promise." I watched as my words finally sunk in, saw the relief flood his system. I caught him as he feel forward and wrapped his arms around my neck. I brought my own arms around him and mirrored his actions, putting my face against his neck. Everything is going to be fine.

I walked downstairs to see Leo and Suo asleep on the couch. Aya and Shigure stood up as soon as I walked in, making me raise an eyebrow.
"Are they ok?"
"How is our precious Kyonkinchi?" Hatori held up a hand and rubbed his forehead.
"He's fine and nothing's wrong, nothing happened this time." They both relaxed after I said this. I hated to ruin the moment but I needed Shigure to do something.
"Gure." He looked up, surprised to hear me use his nickname.
"Yes?" I hesitated for a moment before deciding to just ask him.
"I need you to check on things in the main house." Shigure frowned.
"Akito shouldn't-"
"One: It's Akito. Two: With Kyo pregnant we would want to try again; especially now that the end of his fourth year is coming up." I watched his eyes widen as he recalled the deal he had made with Akito four years ago. There was no was he was going to forget about that and not use it to his advantage.
"Should we warn them?" I thought about it for a few moments, staring blankly at the two boys on the sofa before answering him.
"Not yet, he's still got some time. Let them enjoy it."

I woke up for the second time that day much more slowly than I had earlier. I smiled at the boy still sleeping peacefully against my chest. I pulled him closer and buried my nose in his hair, relieved beyond belief that nothing was wrong with my precious little neko. Mine. I felt him stir in my arms and looked down to see him yawning and slowly blinking his eyes. I leaned down to give him a small kiss on the forehead, returning the small smile he gave me.
"Feeling better?" I watched him stretch before settling back in my arms.
"Do we have to get up?" I chuckled and kissed his forehead again.
"Yes neko, you need something to eat." He made a face and I laughed softly, sitting up.
"Come on, you need to get up." Kyo sighed and sat up and stretched again.
"Fine." I shook my head and watched him get up and move around. He paused as he pulled clean clothes from the dresser, blushing when he saw me staring at him.
"What?" I shook my head and stood up, giving him a quick kiss as I passes by him to get my own clothes.
"Watashi wa anata watashi no chīsana neko ga daisuki.*" I smirked when I turned around to see him blushing furiously. he looked up at me and walked forward to wrap his arms around my neck and I knew he was smiling.
"I love you too."
