Chapter 8 Like a Star in My Night

Disclaimer: the one and only, CLAMP.

a/n : Thank you for those who reviewing and reading this fic, even adding this to your fave story list. I'm still surprised when people add my story to their list cuz this fic's quality was low. Or maybe not that low? I don't know but I enjoy writing this story since Yukito went back to work in palace. Writing depressing things made me feel depressed to, that's probably why the story came in nail pace in earlier chapter, not to mention that none gave review that I ALMOST deleted this story. Oh, I'm glad that I keep going, since things getting interesting now ^,^

Warning: I'm not native, errors are expected. Well, the others was…Just read to find it yourself. If you still dissatisfied, leave review so I know.

-_-

Touya moved ever so slightly in his deep slumber, adjusting his position.

Yukito was held tight on his arm, already wake up, simply enjoying the other's companion. It felt wrong and right at the same time which is unusual. Yukito afraid that one day he thought everything is all right, while not so long ago he had thought was all wrong.

But really, he liked Touya's scent. There are so many things he liked from Touya. His To-ya.

…

Since when did Touya turn into my To-ya?!! Yukito's face suddenly became red from embarrassment.

Yukito thought that he must be crazy for having such possessiveness toward the sleeping figure beside him. Then blame the said sleeping figure for sexually harassed him these past days. He was so disgusted, angry that his friend raped him, hurt him that day.

Did he?

Yukito sighed again about how wrong it was to feel right when he did something wrong. Because nestling in Touya's arm and chest always felt right. He felt protected, loved, and… loved. Because…it is just.

He remember some turn of event last night when they were at library, it was one of hottest night.

Ever.

His face blushing as remember the turn of event last night. Touya was so desperate loving him and not bothered to move from their spot even after their body cooling down. Were Yukito had not so persistent to return to Touya's chamber last night, Yukito sure that the news about them already spreading in whole country.

But, here they were, at Touya's inner chamber.

Yukito knew that he should -must- move out from the bed, tidy up himself and ready to attend his duty as high priest. The fair young man was about to move when he recognize something that hold him back, on his waist.

"Don't go," a soft whisper blown onto the back of Yukito's neck. The action sent a shiver run along his spine.

"But, Touya, I… we need to be ready soon. I don't want hearing people complain about you or me," Yukito tried to be the reasonable one.

"'S okay…" Yukito could feel the grip tighten around him, and the fact that the king's hand wander around him didn't help at all.

"I won't let them. Besides, your body doesn't seem to let go," Touya smirked as his hand found a hardening part that causing Yukito moans.

The raven haired king caught his lips and once again, they lost in their games.

-_-

Few days later…

"…The patrol guard found something amiss recently. As if someone's trying to invading the palace, Your Grace," said the chief of palace guard. This report caught attention of other ministers.

"Go on," hushed one of the old man with ridiculous hat upon what seemed like a bald head.

The said chief cleared his throat as he added more detail, "Everything probably started since incident in the prior meeting room where the table found broken. From further investigation, some maids also reported that they found more than one bedroom was a complete mess even though none occupied the said room.

Chief also complained about someone intruding royal kitchen last night and took large amount of some ingredients and used it in a very messed way," the muscular man with mustache's report was cut as someone adding into the story.

"I heard that not so long ago the librarian found a trail of fresh blood in their collection along with white solution. They had a big fight with people from alchemy division because it seemed that alchemy division researching similar solution. It made a huge crash between librarian and people from alchemy division because each insisted that they innocent," said the minister from science department.

Yukito's face now a deep crimson, he remember each activity that had been held in reported cases. But so as he didn't sound suspicious, he added a trembling "I hope whoever made a mess will caught up soon."

Touya nodded at them all, as if he took the matter seriously, "I know you're angry, Tsukishiro'sama," Touya never forget to address the high priest properly, wishing that others will do the same, "Who will not if someone intruding somebody else's territory." He leered knowingly that the red blush on Yukito face was from totally different subject.

"How much the damage has been discovered this far?" Touya asked sternly at the guard.

"It was all minor damage if the ruined books, mess in kitchen and some broken furniture were sum up," the guard said as his mind recalled all the damage reported.

"Are you sure that nothing precious was taken in?"

"No, Your Majesty. All of the heirloom were well kept and leave untouched."

"Hm, this is strange," some minister muttered.

"We can't do much other than increasing security alert, keep investigating about what these intruder's intention. I demand your report immediately and privately. I don't think that the palace safety was something worth to discuss compared to our beloved country's affair," Touya again added with his royal mighty, impressing the guards as well as the ministers.

Yukito tried hard not to roll his eyes instead he just bow slightly and closed his eyes politely as his King has put an order.

This is ridiculous. Of course the guard will report to him privately that nothing happens once the chief guard find it was the king and the high priest that made the commotion, Yukito thought bitterly, and it just a matter of time before all of the staff find out and for the news to spread wide and thoroughly like the wind.

At the end of his order, Yukito didn't miss a satisfied smile that graced the King's handsome face before the same man smiled at him with his innocence.

"Is there something, Tsukishiro'sama?"

"Nothing, Your Grace," Yukito said as if he mocking his title which causing the raven haired man to laugh silently.

-_-

It was another night when Touya pushed his body against something solid and trapped with his own flushed body. The room was dark but Yukito still found it embarrassing that his body pressed to the glass that parted the room from the outside world. Not to mention that the said glass was chill against his feverish body.

Yukito muttered a soft and gasping 'don't' as the King turned him so that he faced the darkness outside. In front of them was blur vision of the ancient ruin that blanketed by sand storm.

But it seemed that Touya was lost in his task, savoring the scent of yet not his lover. He bite Yukito's ear lovingly causing another moan escape the bruised lips.

"Touya, they'll find out…" Yukito whispers before gasping again when he felt familiar finger playing with his hardened nipple.

"Let them be…So we don't need to explain anything," Touya said before he claimed the fair man once again.

Yukito was under Touya's mercy that night. There wasn't much he could do at that point, not that he could before. The last thing before Touya bring him high to their heaven was the sight of the ruin that stood solely in the darkness.

=_=

Touya : "Watch out, Yuki!!" stab one of their attacker.

Yukito : "To-ya!!"

Then they were surrounded by man with black outfit.

Next time on "The Thorn Never Hurt Me": You'll always be a part of me.

That's it for chapter8, not too much lemon but I wonder if the patrol guard actually find out what they did at night. It would be an awkward scene, lol. For now, Reviewwww pleaseeeee……
