Ah, finally updating the YaoiFic! I'm a little unsure of what I'm doing at this point in time, but I know it will develop further. So, enjoy :)

Then and Now

Neko

Autumn
Five Months Ago

Heavy breathing, lips touching, bare skin barely scraping the surface between the two of them. They felt alive in each other's arms, almost seething with heat and pleasure. Rin moaned softly, moving his hands down Amaimon's back, teasing is tail, flicking it back and forth. Amaimon groaned softly and copied this motion, playing with Rin's tail and tugging gently. Their arousals heated and Rin took another raspy breath as he lowered his head.

"I… I…"

"Yes?"

Amaimon's voice was soft in his ear. So low and seductive; Rin's heart pounded with excitement. He'd left the dorm quietly that night, unable to contain himself any more. He wanted to feel Amaimon's skin, felt his lips brushing his throat as Rin caressed his skin. Yukio wouldn't suspect a thing; he was fast asleep in his bed, completely unaware that Rin was sneaking out to see the so-called enemy. Amaimon had been waiting for him at the cabin, smiling brightly when Rin had approached.

"So you decided to come here," Amaimon had said. "Did my preview excite you?"

Rin blushed. "Yeah… I wanted to…"

"Come here," Amaimon had said. Rin had moved towards him and Amaimon had shocked Rin with a deep, pleasurable kiss that seemed to sweep him off his feet. Rin had been left gasping. The rest was straight-forward. The two boys tore each other's clothes off and their hands stroked each other's bodies. Rin wasn't sure what he was doing; he was going completely by instinct. Amaimon knew exactly what he was doing though and lowered his hands to the base of Rin's tail, tugging gently.

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Rin asked, his face flushing with excitement. Wow… this feels so good…

"Yes. No one will suspect a thing." Amaimon gestured to the small black markings that had surfaced on Rin's skin. They were hardly noticeable at all, unless he was to take his shirt off in public. "As long as they don't see that, they won't notice your change. You did agree to this after all. You chose on your own."

"I know…"

As Amaimon tugged harder on Rin's tail, he was completely lost in a sea of pleasure and pain.

Summer
The Present

Rin awoke drowsily in the middle of the night. He had been sleeping peacefully in the comforts of the hospital room when shouting could be heard. "Let me off of this thing! When I'm out of this place, you're all going to die in your sleep!"

Curious, Rin opened the door to his hospital room and glanced outside. A boy was screaming at the doctors who tied him down to a gurney and wheeled him into the small area beside Rin's bed. Upon seeing Rin, the boy's eyes widened. "Rin! You're here!"

Rin stared at him with confusion. "Do I… know… you?"

"No… I suppose not," the boy sighed and shrugged. His ears were large and elfish, drooping and lifting with his facial expression. They were extremely pointed like Rin's but actually just like a cat; they stuck out on the side of his head rather than on top of his head. He was cute, at least Rin thought. His eyes were bright and golden, pupils slitted over whenever he became aggravated. His tail was like a cat, too. "My name's Neko."

"Cat?" Rin asked. "Your name… is Cat?"

"Neko," he corrected and smiled. "You look pretty cool. I mean, like, with your markings and all."

The doctors had left them alone when Neko sighed. "Damn… I got sent here at a really bad time. Do you know anything yet?"

Rin shrugged.

"Oh, right. Your memory's gone, right?"

He nodded. "How… did you… know that?"

"Oh, you don't know yet. You did know, but Amaimon hasn't found you yet."

Amaimon… the sound of the name sent shivers up Rin's spine. Neko continued speaking: "Well I guess he would have found you sooner if you hadn't run off all scared and stuff when Yukio attacked you but I guess you were all scared of him because he'd found out that you had broken the Kurikara to be a full-blooded demon for Amaimon because Amaimon had already marked you as his…" Neko trailed off into incoherent blabber which Rin tuned out off.

So I broke this 'Kurikara' to become a demon… and Amaimon 'marked' me as his… Yukio attacked me…

He stood up and opened the door. It was dark in the hallways; the commotion Neko had started had faded away. Neko called out to Rin: "Hey, where're you going?"

Rin closed the door behind him and ignored Neko's cries. It was spooky, wondering the hospital hallways in the middle of the night. Rin almost regretted his decision to go looking for Yukio. It was dead quiet.

His tail twitched at the sound of echoing footsteps. He spun around and turned back. The footsteps were far away… but they sounded close. As the footsteps faded away further down the halls, Rin exhaled a breath and began to turn around the corner when a pair of hands grabbed onto his wrists and brought him to the ground.

"Get off of me!" Rin growled as blue flames exploded around the two. There was a gasp of surprise and Yukio leapt away from Rin. Rin turned to face Yukio and glared at him venomously. "What the hell were you thinking, Yukio?"

"Calm down! I thought you were a criminal…" Yukio scratched his head and sighed. "Well, you didn't burn me too much. That's the most you've said since you've been here, too. I guess I should scare you more often." He chuckled nervously.

Rin sighed and put a hand to his head. Without saying anything, he strode passed Yukio and went back to his room. Looking for that someone would have to wait. He didn't even know who he was looking for. It was just a longing, a sad, lonely longing. Rin opened the door to his room and walked back to his bed. Neko had somehow managed to release himself from his chains. "Cool trick, huh?"

Rin shrugged and settled back into sleep.

Yukio sighed and filed through paperwork. He attacked me… And even burned me…

He sighed and lifted up his shirt. The original burn Yukio had received from Rin before his disappearance scarred his entire left stomach area. "Rin… You burned me again…"

"We brought in the cat demon, Neko. Found him near the old mansion outside of the city, playing with all the cats that live there. Creepy kid when he's with cats, simply annoying when not with them. Are you sure he knows everything about Rin's transformation?"

"He was there. I'm sure of it."

"How long do you want us to just sit here and let them both run free? Neko is as equally dangerous as Rin!"

Yukio chuckled and lowered his shirt. The exorcists standing behind him backed away as he strode out of the door. "I doubt Neko will harm Rin. He's just a kitten compared to him. Can you make plans for another interview with Amaimon?"

"Not tomorrow, I'm sorry. Perhaps instead you could organise a meeting with your class and Rin?"

Yukio pondered this. It sounded like a good idea to have them all see him after such a long time. Maybe it would jog some of the happier memories he'd had with them… and not the worst ones.

I hate you all. You all knew about this and you never told me about anything!

Neko knew all about that, Yukio thought. I wonder if he's said anything.

The two exorcists left Yukio alone once again. At the window, the little demon poked his head through the window's entrance. "So," Neko said, smiling happily. He always looked so cheerful. "Do you think they get the hint?"

"Are you going to keep your word?" Yukio asked. "Keep Rin… Rin, until Amaimon is released?"

"I'll do my best," Neko said. "But a newborn demon is difficult to control. He's only one, two… five months old, after all. Those markings are nothing to bask at, Yukio. They're dedicated to each other. And also–" Neko moved closer to Yukio, fiddling with the ends of Yukio's hair "- you also wanted to have what he has, don't you?"

"Neko, I already told you–"

"What?" the little cat-boy whispered, giggling. Yukio felt himself harden slightly. "One special power I have is the ability to see your innermost desires. I know what you felt when you found out about Rin and Amaimon. You were jealous. As beautiful as Shiemi is, how much she 'likes' you, you could never feel the same way. Because you like guys like me, right?"

Yukio pulled himself from Neko's grasp and the boy whined softly like a cat. "Awh. Rejected again. You were excited though. I could tell." Neko chuckled and walked back to the window, climbing out. "You'll see, soon enough. Trust me. Nothing can hold back a passion like his or yours."

So I'm going to continue planning the events that transpired between Rin and the gang and clear the confusion in later chapter. I hope you're all enjoying reading this as much as I'm enjoying writing it. I hope you're all having a good morning/day/afternoon/night and I'll update soon :)
