Thank you for all the reviews and thanks for still reading even though I've been updating so sporadically.

Note: The website's not picking up on my smaller page breaks so I've used the main ones, sorry if it causes any confusion POV-wise.

Enjoy!

Chapter 16: Unexpected Events

I opened the entrance door of my house and closed it silently. Placing down my bag and removing my shoes, I made my way up to my room.

I faintly heard a greeting from Ayame and Mimi but I walked past them and promptly shut the door to my room. I needed some time to breathe, to process what the fuck had happened between today and yesterday, when we simply felt comfort in the arms of each other. Or was I the only one who felt happy?

I absent-mindedly undressed, leaving my clothes lying on the floor without a care. I grabbed some sweatpants and a shirt and put them on as quickly as I had taken my uniform off. I stood next to my bed, wondering if I should sleep it all away, hoping to any deity out there that this was just a horrible nightmare. I leaned against the wall behind me and slid against it, slowly sitting on the floor. I brought my knees up to my chest and wound my arms around them, the action provided me with little comfort but it was still better than nothing.

I couldn't help but think back to what happened this afternoon. The way Kyo had responded to the kiss as if he missed me as much as I had missed him and then being pushed away by the very arms I had found comfort in. Being rejected seemed to hurt so much more because it was Kyo.

Sou and I had sat on the floor of the classroom for who knows how long. It had taken me a while but I gradually wiped the tears away and then Sou had helped me get my things before he drove me home. We were silent throughout the ride home, although I'm sure I wouldn't have responded had Sou spoken anyway, let alone heard him.

I still remember the look on your face
Lit through the darkness at 1:58
The words that you whispered
For just us to know
Told me you loved me
So why did you go away?
Away

I looked down at my shaking hands only to see that I had dressed in Kyo's t-shirt. I leaned down, grabbing some of the t-shirt in my hands and inhaled deeply. Kyo's smell flooded my senses and I felt fresh tears make their way down my cheeks.

But now I'll go sit on the floor
Wearing your clothes
All that I know is that
I don't know how to be something you miss
I never thought we'd have a last kiss
Never imagined we'd end like this
Your name, forever the name on my lips

I fell onto my side, as the tears just fell down my face without any sound. I didn't remember when I last felt this hopeless, this broken.

So I'll watch your life in pictures like I used to watch you sleep
And I feel you forget me like I used to feel you breathe
And I keep up with our old friends just to ask them how you are
Hope it's nice where you are

I wondered where it all started. When had Kyo changed his mind about liking me... or had he even liked me in the first place? I thought we had something special but maybe I was wrong. I shook my head, denial flooding through me like blood. What we had was real. Nothing could change that... was the last thing I remembered before I drifted off to sleep.

And I hope the sun shines
And it's a beautiful day
And something reminds you
You wish you had stayed
You can plan for a change in weather and town
But I never planned on you changing your mind

Sighing, I placed my magazine back down on my pillow again for the umpteenth time that night before promptly picking it up and placing it back down again, torn about whether or not to approach my older brother.

He's been locked up in his room for so long. He didn't even come down for dinner. Worry flooded through me and I got up swiftly from my bed, placing my thick socks on and treading towards my brother's room.

I knocked softly on the door but got no answer in response. Opening the door softly, I switched on the light and peered in but my brother was nowhere in sight. I walked into the room looking around carefully and promptly sighed, placing my hands on my hips.

"Where the hell have you gone, Yuki-nii?" I whispered, mainly to myself.

I heard a slight noise and jumped away from the source with a shocked squeak, my hands against my mouth in an attempt to soften the sound as I noticed my brother lying in a ball on the floor next to his bed.

My hands fell limply to my sides as I noticed the tear streaks on his face. He must've fallen asleep crying. I sighed, mentally cursing Kyo, the bastard!, for causing my brother such pain.

Rumours had started flying around the school like wild fire about Kyo breaking up with me and I had been told about what had transpired between my brother and Kyon that afternoon by a very distraught Sou who just wanted me to watch out for Yuki in case he needed someone to lean on at home.

"Yuki-nii..." I whispered, almost afraid of waking him lest another round of crying start. I kneeled down next to him and gently shook his shoulder, "Nii-san... you shouldn't sleep on the floor."

Yuki-nii moaned before turning over and swatting at my hand. I smiled fondly at his behaviour. He was never one to get up when woken. It always took ages before he would be fully awake, walking around half-asleep was a common occurrence.

I gripped his shoulder with more insistence and shook slightly firmer. "Yuki-nii, come on. We'll get you into bed." I slung his arm over my shoulders, my right arm tugging at his waist as I pulled at him slightly. After much persistence, Yuki-nii finally got some of his bearings back, well at least enough to somewhat stand , and I practically dragged his body the short distance to his bed.

Allowing Yuki-nii to lean heavily against me, I somewhat clumsily threw his bedding back, enough to plonk him down and then ease his lower half under the blankets. My heart clenched as I saw Yuki-nii wearing Kyon's t-shirt and I frowned deeply.

I carefully pulled the duvet higher and made sure to cover every inch of Yuki-nii's body with the bedding. Sighing again, I wiped lightly at the tear streaks down his cheek and placed a soft kiss at his temple.

No matter how confident and strong my brother liked to seem, be it at school or not, I knew how he could easily get hurt and how easily he was often misunderstood because of his aloofness.

I walked out of his room, switching off the light and closing his door softly. I made my way downstairs and, upon hearing the TV, walked into the lounge to the sight of Aya-nii leaning between Ha'ri-nii's legs, Aya-nii's back to Ha'ri-nii's chest as Ha'ri-nii seemed to be whispering softly into an anxious-looking Aya-nii's ear whilst stroking softly at his long, silver hair, something which was well-known for relaxing him.

I walked in a little further, making my presence known and Aya-nii immediately leaned forward out of Ha'ri-nii's embrace, "Have you checked up on Yuki yet?" came his quick question, the anxiety present in his gold eyes.

I nodded solemnly, making my way over to the couch. I sat down on the opposite end, Ha'ri-nii pulling Aya-nii into the comfort of his embrace once again, one of their hands loosely interlinked.

"How is he?" Aya-nii asked, after a few moments of silence.

"He's... not okay, Aya-nii." I said, looking my oldest brother in the eyes. Shaking my head, I lifted my legs and placed them under me on the couch facing Ha'ri-nii and Aya-nii who immediately stretched his free hand toward me and I grabbed at it with both my hands, squeezing gently.

"He cried himself to sleep... I found him on his floor just a few moments ago."

Aya-nii nodded slowly, "So that's why he wasn't answering me when I knocked on his door earlier."

We sat again in silence for a few moments before Aya-nii shook his head. "I don't understand." He said and there was almost desperation in his tone. "What happened? They were so... so in love. I mean..." Aya-nii's eyes searched mine and I saw those gold-green eyes brim with tears threatening to fall, "What in the world could have happened?"

"I have no idea..." I said in soft reply. "Whatever it was, I have a feeling it's got to do with Nidou-sempai."

"Nidou-sempai?" Aya-nii asked, bemused.

"A senior at our school. She's the one who Kyon's supposedly dumped Yuki-nii for." I noticed Aya-nii wince slightly at my wording and he seemingly clutched tighter onto Ha'ri-nii's hand who didn't seem to make any sort of movement to indicate the pain his hand must've been under especially since he seemed to be clutching back with equal strength, the only indication of his unease and worry. "Everything was fine yesterday when Kyon came over to study and then supposedly he suddenly gets a message from Nidou-sempai and he's all but running out of the house and the next day these ridiculous rumours are spreading arou-"

"Rumours? What rumours?" Ha'ri-nii asked suddenly.

I had forgotten that Aya-nii and Ha'ri-nii didn't know of the entire situation. They only knew that Yuki-nii and Kyon had broken up this afternoon.

"Well, you know how I pretended to go out with Kyon so that no one would find out about his relationship with Yuki-nii?" I started and they both nodded in reply allowing me to continue, "Well... this morning Nao asked me if it were true that Kyon and I had broken up. I thought something was odd about the sudden question so I immediately went to Yuki-nii's classroom and spoke to him about it.

"He assured me that everything was fine and then, this afternoon, he comes home, doesn't speak to anyone, let alone return our greetings and immediately goes to his room." I paused for a breath of air before carrying on, "Then a few minutes later I get a call from Sou telling me to make sure Yuki-nii was okay."

I paused once again, looking at their reactions before continuing in a softer voice knowing how it had hurt when Sou first told me and feeling slightly guilty about sharing Yuki-nii's heartbreak with someone else but knowing that the two people in front of me just had Yuki-nii's best interest at heart.

"When I asked about what happened, he was reluctant to say anything but afterwards I assured him that in order for me to be of help to Yuki-nii, I would need to know the situation... He told me that they planned a sort-of 'ambush' after school so that Yuki-nii could speak to Kyon alone. Sou was out guarding the corridor so he said he didn't hear much of anything but then suddenly he said he heard Yuki shouting at Kyon to get out of the room and just as he's about to get in there to find out what's happening, Kyon's coming out telling Sou to get in the classroom for Yuki-nii.

"He said he found him crying, kneeling on the floor. Sou said that he wanted to run after him and go beat the hell out of him but Yuki-nii stopped him and said that Kyon had made his choice. Thing is... Sou told me something else. Something that possibly Yuki-nii doesn't know himself. He said that he's never seen Kyon look that bad before, as if he had just been broken. As if he were the one who'd been left behind by Yuki-nii instead of the other way around."

By the time I had finished telling them what had happened, Aya-nii was staring at the space of the couch between us, a steady stream of tears flowing down his cheeks. He leaned further into Ha'ri-nii's chest, leaning his head on Ha'ri-nii's shoulder and shutting his eyes tight.

"I'm going to rip that little shit to shreds, I swear."

"You can't, Aya-nii. Yuki-nii doesn't want that or he would have let Sou handle it. Better yet he would've punched Kyon himself."

"What am I supposed to do? What would Mom and Dad have done?" He sobbed quietly and I saw a flicker of sadness make its way onto Ha'ri-nii's face.

I squeezed Aya-nii's hand between my own, "Hey... we're in this together." I looked up at Ha'ri-nii who briefly made eye-contact with me before nuzzling the side of Aya-nii's neck, placing soft kisses there. "All three of us."

Aya-nii opened his eyes and he nodded briefly, squeezing my hand in return. "All three of us." He repeated.

"Yuki-nii may be going through a rough patch right now but we'll get him back on his feet. I'm positive that we will."

"Yes," He said solemnly before a small smile graced his features, "He's got an over-bearing mother-like sister in you, a stoic but strong older brother in Ha'ri and a fabulous, sexy-as-hell brother in me." He said with slight pride and I let out a breath of laughter at his choice of description for all three of us before smiling quietly.

"Damn straight."

I woke up with a groan as the sun suddenly beat down on my face and a chirpy "Rise and shine!" rung throughout my room.

I felt someone pull my covers off and the early morning chill seemingly clung to every warm piece of flesh that was exposed where my t-shirt or pyjama pants had failed to cover. I hugged myself in attempt to saviour my warmth but to no avail.

I pulled one of my pillow towards my body and hugged it, a sort of sign to my room-invader that I wasn't planning on removing myself from the security of my comfortable mattress anytime soon.

I heard the invader sigh before a sweet "honey!" was called and the next thing I knew I was being picked up bridal style. My eyes shot open in shock and I screamed as I realised that I was now being held by a very stoic Hatori.

"Now, my dearest Yuki, let us go down to enjoy a wonderful breakfast prepared by your one and only... Mimi-chan!"

"Hatori! Put me down, you idiot!" Hatori looked away from me seemingly only listening to my annoying older brother during this ungodly hour of the morning. "Aya-nii! Tell him to put me down! Right. This. Minute." I said, almost grinding my teeth at Ayame.

Ayame had this predatory look in his eyes and for a minute my confident façade faltered but it was soon restored as Hatori slowly placed my feet on the ground again. I turned to Hatori, about to thank him for putting me down but suddenly my eyes were covered by one of his big hands followed by the sound of weird noises.

I gasped in horror before pushing his hand away from my eyes and confirming the noises with my eyes, frozen on the spot I watched as Aya-nii was plastered against Hatori by a strong arm around his waist, Ayame's arms moving to wound around Hatori's neck as they kissed passionately, a gasping sound escaping from Ayame, as Hatori's hand slipped up his shirt. He broke away for air for a few seconds before leaning in and biting Hatori's lower lip which earned a very impressive growl from the usually calm Dragon Fist.

"Okay! Okay!" I screeched, covering my own eyes this time and turning in the direction of my door, bumping slightly into the doorframe. "I'm going downstairs! Just let up on the mild porn! Gosh!"

Sensing that I was out in the corridor, I moodily made my way down the stairs before realising that Aya-nii and Hatori's once ploy to get me out of my room could have led to something more as they continued to make-out.

"Don't have sex in my room dammit!" I yelled before stomping into the kitchen and picking up the grape juice from the table before pouring myself a glass.

I practically gulped it down as my stomach growled and I realised that I hadn't really eaten anything since yesterday afternoon. Just as I was about to get up a pile of steaming hot chocolate-chip pancakes were put down in front of me. I looked up, startled, at Mimi who smiled at me.

"Morning, Yuki-nii."

"Morning."

She snorted at my greeting and went back to the stove, humming peacefully as she continued cooking.

I blinked a bit, trying to overcome the shock and then smiled softly before getting up and hugging Mimi. "Thank you." I whispered and I swear I could sense her smiling as she squeezed my forearm briefly with one of her hands before carrying on flipping the pancakes in the pan with the other.

I pulled away from the hug with a small smile on my face and walked over to my pancakes. Sitting down, I meticulously poured the toffee sauce, which Mimi had placed on the table, all over my pancakes and dug in.

A big smile was plastered on my face as I made my way into the school building.

Mimi and I walked side-to-side until we ended up in front of her classroom and had to go our separate ways. I made the rest of the way to my class and hummed a cheerful tune in my head. Not moments later I almost toppled over when a sudden weight was on my back.

"Sou! Get off of me!"

"Aww Yun-chan, don't be like that."

"Get off me or I'll make you do it."

"Fine, fine." Sou huffed as he released me from his glomp.

When I was finally able to stand up straight, we made our way into the classroom and sat down at our seats. The classroom was completely empty and it was only then that I released that I was very early that morning.

"How're you feeling today?" Sou asked, almost hesitantly.

I turned to face him and sighed a bit, "I, er... I cried myself to sleep last night... on my bedroom floor." Sou paled a bit but I continued, "I think Mimi came in during the night to put me in my bed."

"It's that bad?"

"It was... Mimi made me chocolate-chip pancakes this morning." I said, my sentence lowering to a murmur towards the end.

Sou smiled earnestly, "Chocolate chip pancakes? No way."

"Yip," I said, my own smile gracing my features. "They were so good."

"Brag much?" Sou said as he nudged my arm from across my desk. "When last have you had them? Not since your..." Sou looked down suddenly and I knew that he was nervous about bringing it up.

"Not since my parents died." I finished for him, and nodded silently. I felt Sou's hand grab mine and he gave me a gentle smile.

"It tasted just like my mom's used to... it was amazing."

"That's Mimi for you. It's just like her to get it right on the first try. Did it make you feel any better?"

I nodded, "Just like mom's used to as well."

"And how're you feeling about the... situation?"

I thought for a while before nodding my head in self-reassurance, checking around to make sure that no one had entered the classroom while Sou and I were talking before I spoke up again, "I feel a bit torn. On one end I'm completely pissed at him but even though he said that he didn't want me anymore there was just something about the way he kissed me that tells me something isn't adding up. But on the other I'm... calm. I'm not giving up on him just yet but I'm going to try and figure out what the hell happened first."

Sou nodded in agreement, "Although I still want to punch him, something just doesn't feel right. Something's going on. He hurt you though, Yuki. Are you sure you want to fight for this?"

"I can't just give up, Sou. He's my..." I shook my head, "It has to be him."

"Why, Yuki? That's what you say now but... in a few months time you could meet someo-"

"I love him." My eyes widened as I realised what I was saying, "I love him. I love him, Sou. And I don't want anyone else but him."

Sou was silent for a few moments before he spoke up again, "Yuki, are you sure?"

I nodded my head almost immediately, "I'm sure. I've never felt like this before and I know it's not just a stupid crush. I can just feel it. He's my fated, Sou. You'll help me, won't you?"

Sou sighed audibly and then grinned, "Obviously."

I smiled and whispered a 'thank you' to him before laughing as he reached over and ruffled my hair.

"No friend of mine is going to go to war by himself."

"You're such a loser."

"But you love me anyway, right?"

"I love you anyway." I said just as someone opened the door to the classroom.

Sou and I turned our smiling faces to the person at the door, my smile immediately falling off my face. Kyo.

I walked in just in time to watch Yuki profess his love for Sou.

Okay, so maybe I was over-exaggerating since I knew that Yuki just thought of Sou as a friend and that although it was most probably said in a platonic way, I was no longer entitled to say anything about Yuki's love life but my body didn't seem to agree with me as I spat out my next words, "Already found someone else?"

Yuki's blank expression turned hard, "You're one to talk."

I had forgotten how emotionless Yuki could make his face when he disliked what someone said and I felt myself flinching at the expression he had towards me now, so void of any feeling whether it be happiness, love or even anger. I looked to the floor, guilt plain as day on my face, and quietly made my way to my seat. "Sorry. I shouldn't have said that." I muttered, glad we never had an audience.

I felt Yuki give me a weird look but I still avoided eye contact with him.

It seemed like the silence would carry on forever but a few minutes later Yuki's soft voice broke through it, "Apology accepted."

I risked a look in Yuki's direction, immediately noticing the calculating look in his eyes as he gazed at me. Noticing my gaze he let out a short sigh and gave me a slight nod to show he knew I hadn't meant it and turned back to Sou who was all too ready to engage in a conversation about the newest song their band was working on.

Sighing, I folded my arms on my desk and dropped my head onto them. Today was going to be incredibly hard especially when every little thing Yuki did just reminded me of how much I missed him and wanted him back. I groaned inside my head. Fuck my life.

The next morning I was bent over one of the bottom drawers in my room, searching profusely for one of my favourite hoodies. I'm sure I put it in here, it can't be that hard to find, it's red for fuck's sake.

"What are you looking for Kyo-kun?"

My fists tightened in the black hoodie I held in my hands at Kagura's voice and answered shortly, "My hoodie."

How the hell does she keep getting into the fucking room? Kazuki trying to be fucking helpful all the time, I'm gonna kill him one day, I swear.

"Silly, you're holding it in your hands."

I groaned and dragged my right hand over my face in pure exhaustion from being around Kagura for too many days in a row.

"My other hoodie, Kagura."

She huffed in response and put her hands on her hips, "Well how will I know that if you don't tell me?" She lifted one of her hands, twirling a stray hair around her index finger. "Before we go shopping this afternoon, I could help you look for it if you want, I'm super good at finding things," she stated with childish pride, "that way we could also-"

"No thanks, just remembered where I put it, I'll fetch later. We're gonna be late for school, let's leave."

And remember I did. Unfortunately it was probably one of the places that Kagura should never find me in otherwise this would all be for nothing.

Guess I was skipping 3rd period to go to the Old Music room.

I walked casually towards the Old Music room, my hands in my pocket as my legs carried me to the familiar destination.

I rounded the corner into the deserted corridor that lead the way to the empty classroom and weaved through the odd broken things that permanently littered the pathway.

I peeped into the classroom making sure that I was the only one, who knew about the oddly homely place, that decided to escape from the boring clutches of the Japanese history teacher that period.

I immediately noticed my hoodie hanging over the mangled couch and went over to grab it before making my way to the door. I paused as I heard voices and footsteps which seemed to be coming from the beginning of the corridor.

I attempted to back away behind the door so that I wouldn't be noticed if they came further in but accidently knocked my back and the back of my head against the old cabinet that was stored there.

"Fuck." I swore softly, rubbing the back of my head in an attempt to soothe the growing ache there. I turned around to see if anything was wrong and my eyes widened as I noticed the books at the top of the shelf threatening to fall. "Oh shi—GAH!" I screamed as the books fell on me.

I faintly heard a girl shriek and ask the other intruder, "What was that noise?" The guy with her seemed equally spooked, his voice shaking as he answered, "F-fuck, this place must be haunted, run!"

Keeping silent and not making a move, I waited until the two idiots were no longer in ear shot before I stood up and dusted myself off.

"Fucking heavy books." I groaned as I started picking them up and putting them back on the cabinet.

Just as I was putting the last two books back on the shelf, my eyes landed on a blue mini-CD that lay lying on the floor where the books had fallen.

"Must've fallen off the shelf too." I muttered, as I bent to pick up the CD. Just as I was about to put the CD back on the shelf the words 'LISTEN TO ME!' caught my eye. Intrigued, I opened the cover, reading the title that was written on the disc itself: For Neko, Part 1.

My eyebrows furrowed at the words and as a result of mild curiosity I pocketed the small disc reminding myself to play it when I got back to the dorm.

I collapsed on my bed, my muscles immediately attempting to relax after the long day shopping with Kagura. I could feel the tension leave my body and I sighed in relief.

I hummed in appreciation as I snuggled up with my pillow and laughed briefly as it came out as a slight purr. Guess the nickname says it all.

I sat up with a jolt, suddenly remembering the mini-CD I had picked up in the Old Music room. I pulled it out of my pocket and searched under my bed for my laptop. Plugging it in and starting it up I waited to log in before I placed the CD in, plugging my headphones in shortly after.

I opened the disc to find that there was only one file on it. Meine Neko it read and I felt my heart speed up a bit in anticipation before hesitantly clicking on the file and waiting for it to play.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KYON!" was the first thing I heard as Sou and Aki's faces were practically covering the entire video. I could see Seiji in the background nodding in greeting and what seemed like a silent birthday greeting.

"Hey! I was supposed to say it first!" Yuki's cries came and I laughed as Yuki pushed the two away from the camera with obvious effort.

He turned to the guys behind him and I heard him 'shushing' the band down before he spoke up again, "Happy birthday, neko. Sorry about the losers in the background ("Hey!" came Sou's shout) but they're kind of needed for this part of your birthday present. Anyway, I hope you like it as much as I like you." Yuki said, a blush on his cheeks at having said the obviously embarrassing words and immediately Sou was heard commenting in the background again, "How the hell is he supposed to like it that much!" and Aki reprimanding him shortly after as Yuki shouted, "Shut up, Sou!" turning to most probably give Sou a frightful glare, if Sou's recoiling said anything.

Yuki turned back to the camera and I smiled as I saw Yuki with a large grin on his face, "Anyway, I know it's not much but this isn't going to be your only present so hopefully I can make it up to you with the next one if this one sucks! Anyway, here I go."

I watched as Yuki made his way to the stool in front of the piano on the side, everyone quieting down as Yuki started playing the piano, the melody was soft and sweet and it effortlessly seemed to relax me. Well that along with the familiar sight of a non-hostile Yuki, smiling and laughing.

My smile faded a bit and I looked at Yuki with a sad expression on my made this video for me before all the shit with Kagura. My birthday's in a month's time, he must've planned to give it to me then. Who would've thought that so much shit could've happened before then?

I let out a large sigh and watched as Yuki stopped his piano playing and made his way to the chair in the middle of the room with a mic in front of it, the band picking up the tune immediately, Sou and Seiji donning acoustic guitars instead of their electric and bass guitars and Aki, as usual, behind the drums.

Soon enough Yuki's voice filled my ears and I breathed in deeply, savouring it all, from the look on Yuki's face all the way down to his tapping foot.

"Baby come close let me tell you this
In a whisper my heart says you know it too
Baby we both share a secret wish
And you're feeling my love reaching out to you"

Seiji joined Yuki in the chorus, their voices creating the perfect harmony.

"Timeless
Don't let it end (no)
Now that you're right here in my arms where you should stay
Hold tight baby
Timeless
Don't let it fade out of sight
Just let the moments sweep us both away
Lifting us to where
We both agree
This is timeless love"

I heard Yuki breathing in deeply before he sang the next part.

"I see it all baby in your eyes
When you look at me I know I feel it too (yes I do)
So let's sail away and be forever baby
Where the crystal ocean melts into the sky
We shouldn't let the moment pass
Making me shiver let's make it last
Why should we lose it don't ever let me go"

Yuki and Seiji sang the chorus one more time before the song came to an end.

I heard Yuki faintly thanking the band before he seemed to turn his attention back to the video camera, walking up to it, "So, there you have it. I'll probably see you some time soon. I hope you enjoyed it. See you later, neko." He smiled sweetly and waved before he switched the camera off.

I must've been staring at my computer screen for ages after that because the next thing I saw when I was brought out of my haze was Kazuki's hand waving in front of my face.

"Dude, are you okay? You're not feeling sick, are you? It's going to be supper shortly but I could tell Tohru-chan that you're not coming if you don't feel up to it. I could bring your supper up for you."

I shook my head and cleared my throat, "No, no. I'm fine, thanks." I pushed my laptop off my lap and onto the bed and stood up," I'm gonna go wash my face. Meet you in the dining hall?"

Kazuki looked at me worryingly before he nodded and smiled, "Sure thing."

I watched Kyo leave the room with a worried expression.

I sighed, "You would think that a guy would be happy after he gets to go out with such a hot chick."

I pulled off my jersey and school shirt and picked up one of my shirts off the floor, turning around quickly I stubbed my toe against the edge of one of the beds and jumping up and down promptly sat down on Kyo's bed, my hand accidently pressing down on the keyboard of his laptop.

I turned to face Kyo's laptop to see if I had done anything damaging only to see a video starting up, my eyes as wide as saucers. "Oh shit, oh shit, how do I switch it off?" I shouted at myself, before looking at the screen to find the exit button and promptly stilling at the sight of Sano-kun and Kanzaki-kun before the Pres' face popped up.

My eyebrows furrowed, "Why would Kyo have a video of Perdi?" I said out loud and pulled Kyo's headphones out, Sohma-kun's voice quickly filling my ears, "Happy birthday, neko. Sorry about the losers in the background (Hey!) but they're kind of needed for this part of your birthday present."

"Neko?" I said bemusedly, I couldn't tear my eyes away from the screen and I continued watching. "Isn't that Mimi-chan's nickname for Kyo?"

"Anyway, I hope you like it as much as I like you." my mouth fell open as the words left Sohma-kun's mouth and I zoned out for a bit only barely taking notice of the people on the screen.

"Kazuki, what the fuck?"

I turned around and upon seeing Kyo's murderous glare, gulped nervously.

"It's not what it looks like, I can explain."

"Well, start fucking explaining."

Thanks for reading!

Please review to let me know what you think. I cannot begin to tell you how happy reviews make me!

Until next time (which I hope is soon)!
