A/N Hey, this is my first story on this site! (so please be nice. XD) anywho, the pairings are Kyo/Yuki(eventually), aaaand... actually... that's it. XP ...probably.
Kyo, Yuki, and Tohru sat around the table eating dinner, just as they normally would, any other day.
"Hey, where is that damn dog anyways?" Kyo asked, breaking the mostly comfortable silence.
"Oh, he said he had an important meeting, and to not wait up for him." Tohru replied honestly.
As if on cue, Shigure slid the front door open slowly.
"Where were you? Your dinner was getting cold." Yuki gave an almost condescending glare at Shigure.
"I was just at a meeting with Akito." Shigure said grimly. The room turned silent. It seemed as though even the birds had fled at the sound of the god's name.
"…what did he want?" Yuki asked, just above a whisper.
"He wants to see Kyo. Now. Hatori's parked outside."
"n…now?" Kyo looked up at Shigure almost pleadingly.
"I'm afraid so. He asked for you to come alone. I can't go back to the main house with you." Shigure replied.
The ride to the main house was long, and silent.
When they finally got there, Hatori led Kyo in though the front gates.
"Wait. I'm not aloud in the main house." Kyo grabbed Hatori's sleeve.
"Akito's making an exception this one night. Now come on." Hatori replied, not looking down at Kyo.
They passed several hallways, and Kyo kept as close to Hatori as he could. He had never been in the main house, after all.
Eventually they reached a room, that was almost completely dark. Akito lay leaning against the window.
"Kyo… sit." Kureno came seemingly out of nowhere, and shoved Kyo by the shoulder into a kneeling position.
Kyo hissed.
"Kyo… am I correct in saying that you have not beaten Yuki once?" Akito asked, slowly standing up, while still leaning on the wall.
"I haven't beat him. Yet." Kyo spat, not looking up from the ground.
"yet? Well, I think it's been all to obvious that you could never beat him. And that you never will. The bet's off." Akito smiled a vicious smile at Kyo's shock.
"You… you can't do that!!" Kyo nearly yelled, finally meeting Akito's glare.
Akito's eyes became darker, as he became more furious.
"I can do what I please! I am the head of this house hold!" Akito shouted, knocking a vase off of it's pedestal by the door, and at Kyo.
The vase shattered on impact, and Kyo screamed in pain, bringing his hand over his bleeding face.
"Ha, well isn't this interesting. You defy me and you get the same physical pain that Hatori got when he defied me. Hm. But you're not worthy to be compared to him. You, the foul monster cat." Akito spat, and worked his way over to the wall, which held a whip on a hook, as though it were a scarf.
A half an hour later, Hatori could hear from his office out side Akito's room
"Now. Leave. And never come back to the main house again!"
Kyo dashed out the door, and into the woods. While it had gotten a lot darker during his visit to Akito, it had also started pouring rain. stumbling every step of the way.
He tripped into the woods, and kept on his path to the house.
Kyo forced the door open, and stumbled up the stairs, making his way into his room.
He took the opportunity to look at his hands. They were dripping with a muddy mix of rain and blood.
He stumbled over into the bathroom to clean out what cuts he could find; namely the deep one on his right cheek from the vase.
Cleaning them out best he could, he bandaged them, and slowly stalked into his bedroom and flopped ungracefully onto his bed.
The bet was over. No matter what he did, he would be confined next year.
Akito had won.
