Chapter 4: Blown Up

"Oh you're back, it's about time. I'm starving." said Shigure from his spot at the table as they stepped in, half wet to the bone. Kyo gritted his teeth. What kind of a welcome was that? And what was that woman doing in their living room again?... The said woman was rolling at the moment on the floor, trying to pull her hair out to no avail.

"Please, please, Sohma-sensei, please write SOMETHING, ANYTHING! JUST DO IT, PLEASE, I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!" she cried. Shigure sweat-dropped slightly, smiling nonchalantly as he continued to sip on his tea. It seemed to tear the woman's heart apart as she cried out: "NOOOO!"

Tohru, wrapped in Kyo's uniform jacket, put her umbrella away and took off her shoes before rushing to the woman's side "Mitsuru-san, please...!" she began. But before she could utter another word, she could feel herself being turned around and before she knew it, Kyo was clapping his palms at her cheeks.

"What are you doing? Your clothes are all wet. Never mind that woman and go take a bath." he said seriously, to which Shigure nodded.

"Kyo is right this time, I'm afraid. You should hurry up and take a warm bath." he sipped on his tea.

Kyo's left eyebrow twitched, as he let go of Tohru, and now held her shoulders tightly from anger "What do you mean by 'this time'? What do you take me for, you damn dog?-!"

The older male only gulped the rest of his tea, and put the empty cup on the table, smiling now "I'm relieved, though. You're back to yourself. You've been acting strange this past week, I was wondering if I should start to get worry, and contact Kazuma." Kyo's eyes widened. He had never thought he had acted that strange that Shishou should be involved.

"K-Kyo-kun...?" he blinked, looking down at Tohru, whose shoulders he still held. Her face looked very red. Oh no, she had a small fever already, this was bad!

"I don't have time for this!" he grabbed Tohru by the hand and started to drag her toward the nearest bathroom "Don't you dare call Shishou, or I'll really kill you!" he called behind him. By the time they had reached the bathroom, Tohru's face looked even redder. Kyo started to panic "You're already this hot, it's no good!" he slammed the bathroom's door open, and placed the startled girl on the stool there before turning to the bath tub "I'll fill the tub for you, and you'll get better..." he mumbled to himself "Is this salt good?... What with this one...?" he turned on the water, going through various kinds of bath salts, while Tohru just sat there on the stool and stared at his back. She felt bad to tell him that her face looked hot because she was blushing and not because she was developing a minor fever.

In the meantime, Shigure got himself another cup of Oolong tea, as his editor tried to convince him to start working on his novel again after a too-long-break "Young love." he remarked after having her fuzz around him for long minutes.

"THIS IS A MAGNIFICENT TOPIC FOR YOUR NEW NOVEL, NOW PLEASE WRITE IT DOWN SOHMA-SENSEI!"

Shutting the bathroom's door behind him, Kyo felt a little relieved. If anything, he didn't want Tohru to catch a cold because of him. But... He found himself smiling a little, showing off a pointy tooth. She didn't hate him after all. He almost grinned.

"S-Sohma-sensei, please, consider the consequences of your actions!"

"Iya, iya, Mit-chan, be merciful to sensei's weary head."

Yes, Kyo almost did grin. But on a different note, he really felt like being alone at the moment. After all that had been going on at school that day, he really needed some time to relax and maybe charge back his alone time. He really didn't like to think about himself as social. He climbed upstairs and reached his bedroom's door. Today he really had a good material to... ahem in the bathroom. This actually turned to be a pretty good day considering it was still raining outside. Kyo yawned as his hand met the doorknob. He really started to feel sleepy again, he hoped that he would make it to dinner time. He twisted the knob, finding himself glancing with the corner of his eye at the twin door next to his. It was Yuki's.

The mouse was pretty much stuck at school, eh? The orange haired teen shrugged. Not that it was his business or anything. He made a step backward and closed the door. Looking around the hallway, he quickly moved to stand in front of Yuki's bedroom's door. Sulking a little, then giving a skeptic look to the knob. He stood there for a long minute. Well, it wouldn't hurt anyone if he just took a little peek inside, right? He just wanted to make sure he hadn't been imagining things the other night, not that his mind could come up with such a dirty scene.

The door was opened and closed quickly.

He would just make sure that whatever he had witnessed the night before was real. He gulped, scanning his rival's room. It had Yuki's scent linger in the air. Blech. His nose twitched uncomfortably. He wondered if Tohru's room had a special scent, too... He paused for a few minutes and just stared at the air, his mind running impossible scenarios of what could have happened if he walked into Tohru's room one day. Jeez, but the matter at hand was almost forgotten, until he started to get angry at himself that he was getting aroused so suddenly. Only then did he happen to recall that he was actually in Yuki's room.

R-Right. Better get this thing going. He went straight to the bed. It looked pretty neat. Now I'll see what that hentai rat is hiding. He smirked and knelt down. He found the box of carton from yesterday under the bed, and what he saw there made his eyes almost pop out of their sockets.

It smelt like strawberry, a very strong smell of generated strawberry and blueberry. It came out of an opened bottle on top of a pile of magazines and 'toys'. A shaky finger came to poke it. The colorful bottle did not move. Kyo sweat-dropped. Of course. He snatched it. What was this bottle exactly? What was its purpose? He observed it with narrow eyes. It looked like it had some transparent gel inside. The teen sniffed its opening. Then flipped it, watching as the liquid inside poured into his hand slowly. The stuff was a bit sticky. The label didn't say much. It was only when Kyo looked on the other side of the bottle, did he realize what exactly he was playing with. He instantly closed it and threw it back to the box, glaring at it intensely, as though it had tricked him on purpose to do something he didn't want to do.

Right, so these stuff were real. He poked the dildo that Yuki had used yesterday with the tip of his finger. This thing... He felt his face become warm. This thing was inside Yuki... It was cold now. And there... And there... his eyes widened "He has those!" he hissed at a box of condoms "He's... H-He's done it for sure!" Was it with a man? A woman? Kyo opened the box and observed its contents. He had never touched anything like this before... He gulped. M-Maybe he should try and put it on?...

He could suddenly hear steps outside the room and froze. W-What should he do? What should he do? He panicked, stuffing the condoms back to the box. He threw everything back in the carton box and pushed it under the bed. By the time he had finished to do all this, the sound of steps disappeared. He scowled. Jeez. Of course. Yuki shouldn't be there so early. Kyo looked around the room again and then pulled the box from under the bed again. He'll just take one of those condoms so that he would be able to investigate it comfortably in his room. Maybe two or three... Yes, that would be nice. He opened the box of condoms and took out four, before closing it. He then pushed the box back under the bed, and when he was sure everything looked like it had been before he entered the room, he stood up and stuffed the condoms in his school uniform pants' pocket and turned to leave.

"Looks like I've been found out." Yuki narrowed his eyes, leaning against the closed door.

Kyo paused. His eyebrows were knitted as he just stood there and stared at the grey haired boy "Looks like it." he finally let a smirk grace his face. Yuki's expression did not change. His arms were crossed as his back was leaning against the door.

"Since when?"

Kyo's smile was replaced by a scowl and he lowered his gaze. What kind of a question was that?... His mouth twitched reluctantly as he thought if he should tell the truth "sinceyesterday..." he mumbled. Yuki quirked an eyebrow. Kyo gritted his teeth "S-Since yesterday...!"

The rat blinked, his mouth starting to twitch before he suddenly burst into laughter. Kyo could feel his cheeks flush as he watched the mouse laugh at him. This was stupid. He couldn't even keep it a secret for a single day. But Yuki's laughter sounded a bit melancholic to him than mocking for some reason, so he just looked away, waiting for it to cease.

It did cease. Fast. Soon Yuki was standing in front of him, his face paler than ever "How?" he tilted his head to the right, studying Kyo's face. But Kyo couldn't look him in the eye. He could feel the heat creeping to his cheeks. His face was probably very red now.

"The window."

"I see..." Yuki seemed to take a step backward, recalculating the situation "Were you turned on?"

The question made Kyo's head fly back up, and he instantly clenched his teeth "Are you stupid or what, I'm not a faggot like you!" he aimed a punch straight to Yuki's face. He just wanted to wipe that stingy confident gaze.

But he couldn't. He never could. With one graceful movement, the rat dodged to stand behind him, sliding one pale hand into Kyo's pants' pocket.

Kyo froze, finding himself unable to say or do anything. Somehow, knowing that Yuki liked guys made his touch feel different. Kyo did not like Yuki's touch. "W-WHAT'RE YOU DOIN'? WHERE'RE YA TOUCHIN'?" his heart thumped like crazy, as he felt those fingers go deeper into his pocket and against his thigh.

Yuki sighed. He fished the stolen condoms with his fingers. Kyo shivered. W-What was going on? He could feel Yuki's other hand slide up his abdomen "DON'T!" he suddenly torn away from Yuki's grasp "Don't touch me!" his eyes lit in alarm, but when he turned around, the look on Yuki's face made him to pause. The mouse was laughing again. "Why... are you laughing?" Kyo's eyebrow twitched. He was pissed to say the least, mostly because of his own body reaction than anything, but it didn't change the fact that he hated Yuki even more now for messing around with him like that.

Yuki shook his head, calming down a little "You got me. You really got me. I'm yours, Kyo. I'm all yours."

"...What."
