Chapter Two

All was silent in the home of Shigure Sohma. No interruptions, no fights, no anything. The silence was almost eerie, seeming louder than anything Shigure had ever heard. He sighed dramatically, causing the room's inhabitants to jump. Four pairs of eyes glared at him. Tohru, Yuki, and Tohru's two friends. What were their names? Yankie and Wave Girl? He neither knew nor cared. But why in the world were they so quiet?

He couldn't easily procrastinate in such silence! He would now stand for this-

"What, is the whole Goddamned world staying at our house tonight?" Kyo's angry voice called from the doorway. 'thank the heavens' Shigure thought with a grin. 'noise!'

"And so what if it was!" Uo challenged, glaring defiantly at the angry feline. "What could you do about it?"

Shigure's grin only grew. Their fighting was like music to his ears. He glanced around the room, from a paniced Tohru, to a seemingly annoyed Yuki, to a mellow Hana. Nothing seemed out of place, until he layed eyes of Kyo. Noting the swollen lips, the light blush that tinted his cheeks, and the ruffled texture of his clothes, Shigure wasn't sure what to think. Of course, his perverted mind found it's conclusion, and his mouth was quick to reveal his thoughts.

Meaning, as most would put it, that he said the first thing that popped into his seemingly empty head.

"Do my eyes decieve me, or does Kyo look like he just had sex?"

The room fell silent, all eyes shifting toward Shigure, then to Kyo. Shigure grinned. He knew that his sudden bluntness had caught everyone off guard, just as it was supposed to. He glanced around the room once more. Uo's mouth hung wide open, her eyes opened wide, Tohru wore a bright pink blush, while Yuki looked.. accomplished? That was odd. The dog snickered. Even Hana looked a little shocked.

"What? No!" Kyo snapped, turning quickly to leave the room. "You pervert!" was the last thing they heard before the back door slammed.

And once again, there was silence.

Shigure sighed, cursing his luck.

-------------

"Bastard." Kyo mumbled, along with a string of curses directed toward a certain canine. He wasn't quite sure where he was, but all he knew was that he needed to fine Haru, and now. This whole mess was the ox's fault afterall.

If he hadn't been such a coward, Kyo could have told him how he felt, and the cat wouldn't have to be searching through the woods for the idiot. He growled angrily, pushing through the sharp branches. Haru had better be happy. If not, he'd soon be hamburger meat. 'Damn him..' Thought the cat. 'Where is he?'

Just then, he tripped, his foot caught under something heavy. "Dammit all to hell!" He yelled, picking up the object of his current annoyance. 'Chains?' He thought to himself. 'No, chained clothes.' He sighed, standing slowly. 'Haru's clothes..' He began walking. Happy that he'd found some sign of the younger teen. "Wait!" He exclaimed, stopping abruptly.

"He's naked!"

-------------

A distance away, Shigure turned his head up, eyebrows raised. "Did you guys just hear that?" He asked. Everyone stared, caught between ignoring him or listening to whatever nonsense was about to leave his mouth. "What was it, Shigure-san?" Tohru asked politely.

"I thought I just heard someone yell the word naked." He stated, causing everyone to sigh in annoyance.

"Pervert." Was all they had to offer, before continuing whatever they were doing.

-------------

Picking up his pace, Kyo ran through a path of broken branches, determined to find Haru before he went any further. This was insain! He knew the ox must be upset, thinking that he would be rejected and all, but why in the world did he have to strip! He shook his head, closing his eyes for only a moment.

And he tripped again. Only this time over a large, heaving figure. "What the Hell?" He yelped before falling flat on his face. The figure shifted, thin fur rubbing against Kyo's skin. He glaned back, right into the large black eyes of..

A cow.

"Haru?" He choked. It all made sense now! How did he overlook the curse! -The ox wasn't naked, he just transformed! Kyo wasn't sure whether he should feel relieved or worried. While he was happy that Haru wasn't running around naked, it wasn't often that the ox transformed. He usually just went black. He also wondered why the younger boy was laying down. Was he injured, or just tired? And why wasn't he saying anything!

"Haru-" Kyo began again, before being cut off by an angry Haru. "I get it!" He exclaimed. "You don't love me! You didn't have to follow me!" He paused, glaring hatefully at the cat. "Did you just come to rub it in, to laugh at me? -Are you that much of a monster?" He smirked, though his joy was short lived. The pain in Kyo's eyes instantly told him that he'd went too far. He opened his mouth about to apologise, when a fist connected with the side of his head.

"You asshole!" Kyo screamed, actually screamed.

"I came all this way to tell you that I love you too and you automatically think that I'm mad at you or something!" Tears pricked the cat's eyes, but he continued. "You're as bad as everyone else! You think that I can't love or something, don't you?" He stopped, only to rise to his feet. "Well, I've get news for you, asshole!" He turned, attempting to hide any stray tears that may fall. "I. Fucking. Love. You!"

The cat really had a way with words.

As if on cue, there was a pop, and smoke formed around the ox's body. It slowly cleared, revealing a very shocked and very naked Haru. 'He loves me!..' His mind screamed. He stood, slowly making his way toward the angry feline. He wrapped his bare arms around the older boy, laughing inwardly when he jerked in surprise.

"Y-you're naked." Kyo stated dumbly. Haru smirked, tightening his grip on the cat and pushing their bodies closer together.

"I know." He stated huskily. "You don't mind, do you?" He asked, causing the other to blush. He layed his head on the cat's shoulder, smiling in contentment. He'd have to thank Yuki when they got home. Although he knew that the rat would never go through with his threat, he'd encouraged the ox to confess his feelings to the fiery headed boy. If it weren't for his own stupidity, however, he wouldn't be holding Kyo like this.

For once, being an idiot wasn't so bad.

((A/N: Phew, I did it! -See, I updated!

Sorry if that sounded to.. Graphic and/or corny! This is the first time I've ever used the 'f word' in a story.. ((nervous laugh))

so anyway, I was thinking about getting an editor for this.. Would anyone like to take the job? (I would be forever grateful!)

Um, that's all (for now)!
