Ok, this is beyond late and I apologize greatly! Between getting sick and school and writer's block I didn't have much time for it :( Please enjoy the new chapter and thank you to all those who reviewed, they helped greatly in pushing me to get this out! ^^


I walked downstairs a while later, Yuki still upstairs getting ready.

"Ohayo Kyo-kun! Are you feeling better?"

"Ahh!" Tohru's eyes were wide as I spun around to face her.

"Ah, gomen. I didn't mean to startle you." Yuki walked down as she finished saying this and looked over, concerned.

"Are you alright?" I scowled at him.

"Fine." I tried to stomp off but Yuki wrapped his arms around me from behind, trapping my own arms.

"Get off me ya damn-"

"We're just worried about you Kyo. Don't get mad about that." I kept stiff for a few moments, turning my head away from them. I couldn't explain the overwhelming guilt in my chest but it was tearing at me harshly.

"Kyo?" I broke free of Yuki's grasp and ran upstairs just as Hatori was coming out of the dinning room.

I looked back and forth between the stairs and Hatori, wondering just what to do. Hatori sighed and put his hand in his pocket.

"Here, these should help with that. It won't go away completely though." I nodded and took the bottle, slipping it in my own pocket.

"How often should he take them?" Hatori moved out of Shigure's way as the dog came out to listen to what they were talking about.

"Four times a day." Yuki nodded and started walking up the stairs.

"I'll get Kyo."

I stood over the bathroom sink splashing cold water on my face. I paused and stiffened though when I heard the bathroom door open, not daring to turn and face it.

"Kyo." I continued to splash my face with the cold water before turning the tap off and drying myself.

"Here, Hatori gave me these. They should help." I looked down at the pill bottle on the counter, still not looking at Yuki.

"No." I went to walk out of the room when Yuki slammed the door before I could get to it.

"What the hell's the big deal? I'm not taking those damn things!" Yuki looked at me, more than slightly confused.

"Then just tell me why." I glowered at the rat.

"I'm not taking those damn things just because you don't feel like putting up with me!" My voice had gotten louder by the end as I continued to glare at Yuki, looking away after a moment, not wanting to meet his gaze. Because of this I was surprised when Yuki came forward and hugged me, trapping my arms like he had downstairs.

"What-"

"Baka neko, what could make you think something so stupid? I just want you safe. What would happen if you got in a fight at school?" I sighed and relaxed slightly, grumbling a bit.

"I'm still not taking the damn things…" I mumbled, still looking away as I felt a faint coloring come to my face. He pulled back and kissed my forehead, making the blush deepen. You'd think I'd get used to this by now.

"Come on, we're going to be late." Yuki grabbed my wrist and led me out of the bathroom, his hand sliding down to mine once we left the house and never letting go the entire way to school.

I watched with concern around third period when I saw Kyo having trouble keeping his eyes open. I glanced at the clock and mentally cursed when I saw that we still had twenty minutes left. Five minutes later I was about to ask if I could take Kyo to the nurse when the teacher called for open discussion while he answered an unexpected call. I immediately went over to Kyo and had to wave my hand in front of his face to get his attention.

"Huh?"

"Are you alright Kyo?" He nodded slowly, yawning.

"Fine, just really tired." I sat down next to him when I noticed that the person had moved as I did.

"Sleep for a bit then, I'll get the notes." He nodded, yawning again.

"Thanks." Kyo put his head down and I put my hand on his head, slowly running it through his hair until the teacher came back in, apparently not noticing or caring about the musical chairs everyone had done. When the bell finally rang Kyo slowly picked his head up, rubbing at his eyes.

"Help any?" Kyo nodded though he still looked sleepy.

"A bit." I looked up at the clock for a second.

"Try and stay awake next period. You can sleep through lunch after that, alright?" Kyo stretched his arms out in front of him, still trying to wake up.

"I'll try."

x

I did manage to stay awake and by the end of class I wasn't really tired anymore. Weird. Yuki looked over as the bell rang.

"Still tired?" I shook my head, standing up.

"I'll be right back. Bathroom."

.-.-.

On my way back I was confronted by Yuki's little fan group, the three girls standing there glaring at me with their hands on their hips. I glared right back, not afraid of three girls.

"Get outta my way."

"Why? So you can go back to our precious Yuki-kun? I don't think so." I scowled at them, starting to get pissed.

"Move it already." The girl in front scowled while the other two just mentally threw daggers at me.

"Yuki-kun is ours. Stop pretending and leave him alone already." I opened my mouth to respond when we all heard a voice coming from behind the group of girls.

"You are all becoming very annoying. You will stop harassing Kyo." The girls' faces paled and my eyes widened as Yuki walked over.

"You were taking too long. I got worried." Yuki answered my unasked question and I blushed a bit, both frustrated and happy that Yuki had gotten worried about me.

"I was just going to the damn bathroom! What could've possibly happened?" I watched as one of Yuki's eyebrows rose and he looked between me and the girls. I crossed my arms grumbling.

"Whatever."

x

I glared at the girls in front of me and watched as they all started to look wary.

"I'm tired of listening to you." they all paled even further and one of the girls in the back even looked like she was going to cry.

"Yuki-kun! How could you say such-"

"Be quiet. How many times have I told you? I'm in love with Kyo." The girl in the back looked away while the other just looked stunned. The leader of the group tried to put on a brave face but she looked shaken.

"I-I don't-" I rolled my eyes and grabbed Kyo whose went wide as soon as I'd spun him around to face me.

"Wha-" I leaned forward and kissed him, easily slipping my tongue inside his mouth. I slipped my arms around him and would've smirked if I could when I heard them run off. I continued to kiss Kyo even after they'd gone, bringing Kyo against me.

x

I pulled back when I needed air and opened my eyes, not even sure when I closed them.

"What'd ya do that for?" It was getting more and more difficult to stay mad at him when he was biting at my neck but I was trying my best not to get distracted.

"Because you're mine." He put one of his hands against my stomach as he said this, otherwise continuing with what he was doing.

"Y-Yuki…" My eyes were starting to cross from how hard I was trying to concentrate.

"What?" he moved to the spot under my ear and I had to bite my lip to stop any noises from coming out.

"We'll get caught…"

x

I sighed, knowing Kyo was right. A student was one thing, but if a teacher happened to come down the hall… I gave one more bite to the spot under his ear before pulling back and enjoying the sight I'd made before me. Kyo's eyes were dilated and unfocused, his lips parted slightly as he panted. I kissed him on the forehead, stepping back but not relinquishing my hold on him.

"You're right." It took him a moment to focus, pulling back and blushing furiously.

"Kyo." He looked over at me in surprise.

"Yeah?" I momentary looked away to where the girls had run off before meeting his gaze again.

"I want you to tell me if they harass you again." Kyo rolled his eyes and crossed his arms.

"What're they gunna do? Talk me to death? They're just a couple 'a girls." It was my turn to roll my eyes.

"Just humor me." Kyo looked away and shrugged one of his shoulders before continuing back into the classroom.

"Whatever." I shook my head and followed him in, hoping the rest of today would end better than it had started.
