((A/N: Chapter Five! Somehow, I always seem to write corny angst oneshots before deciding to continue 'To Kiss A Kitten'

Anyway, Thanks again to Hatsuharu-chan for editing this chapter!

hmm.. I believe I've just recieved my first flame.

I guess I deserved it though, since 'You Could Call It Love, But You'd Be Lying' really was a waste of space.

The sender was actually pretty kind, sending a short message and only flaming my choice of couples, but still mentioning that the story was good.

To Those Who Reviewed:

al-behd-rikku: (ah, it's okay. my slow updates show how lazy i am) But thanks! They really are cute together, since Kyo's always so angry while Haru's so mellow.

KittyMojo: Thanks!

what the vell: haha, that's pretty creative. All I could come up with was 'kc creation', since my first name's Kelsey and my last name begins with a 'C'. I origionally used it as the signiture for my drawings, but I think it suites my fanfictions better. And thank you! Although I'm still not sure this story deserves a 9/10(i don't write that well!) it's still very kind of you!

xXInu-SamaXx: I actually blushed when I wrote that.(or at least, I could feel my face heat up) I'm still warming up to writing yaoi, and this story seems to be my most sexual as of yet. Not to mention, I'm still at the age where I giggle everytime someone says 'crotch' or 'damn'. (ha) Thanks for almost offering! It flatters me that anyone would wish to beta my story!

DarkVampireGrl: I know, and I hate it! (both the manga and rin thing) I'm still a bit angry that Vol.13 was so boring, although Vol.14 made up for it.. And it also angers me that I could actually support HaruxRin. I guess everyone secretly supports the canon pairings though, right? At least I know that kyoxharu will always be my favorite bizarre, madeup couple!

KooriKitsune: Thank you!

Miss Nox: ahaha! Yes, if it weren't for that darn door! (that part was so random, I almost forgot that I left it in) But anyway, thanks for the compliments! (ah, how you reviewers flatter me!) I actually found myself wishing that the series would hold some yaoi, no matter how insignificant. I guess Haru's little statement about Yuki being his 'first love' is as good as it's gonna get.

flyingdaggers: The.. best?... Ah, it couldn't possibly even be considered that! I had a lot of trouble with that line though, and like many others, it was almost deleted. (laugh) But really, thank you for that. It makes me speechless when reviewers say such nice things! And I know how you feel with your cat. (i have three, and a dog) My little black cat(who my older sis named 'Sirius Back') always likes to paw at me while I write. I remember once, while I was watching TV with my little sis, he started pawing at my shirt and my sis goes,"It looks like he's trying to molest you!" But I guess he needs some joy in his life, since, as my parents say,"The vet had to cut off his balls." Ahahahah, I can just imagine the 'wtf' look he gave you! When I do something stupid, my black and white cat looks like he's laughing at me.

hyper-writer14: I would've slapped him too! (although, it's a good thing kyo didn't slap haru) And yeah, Haru likes seeing his his kitten blush. (just like everyone else) So, he tries to embarrass him as much as possible.

animefreaks121: You liked that? I'm glad! I felt bad for always hatin' on Yuki, since he is one of my favorite characters(after kyo and haru, of course). And Yuki seems like he'd be happy to help Haru out, since the ox did so much for him when he was younger. Aw, don't be too mad at Shigure! Someone had to tell Akito, so it might as well have been him! And thank you! I'll be sure to message you whenever I need help with this! But about Hana, I'm not too good at writing her, since she's so quiet, so I decided to keep her silent for awhile. In the origional fourth chapter, she talked, but I deleted it because it sounded too ooc. She might talk in the next chapter though, since this chapter's mainly about Akito's plan and such.

Syckitty: wow, I just got this message before uploading chapter five! (Hatsuharu-chan's a very fast editor) But thank you! Ah, you've flattered me once again!

- lidOol.fantaSee.gurl -: yeah, things are getting pretty awkward between the two. (haha) thanks.

well, please enjoy!))

Chapter Five

"Aren't you so very angry?" a sly, feminine voice whispered. Kagura sat quietly, too scared to say or do anything. The voice's owner continued, coating each word with false concern. "I mean, you've given your whole life to that bastard. Loving him, standing by him no matter what," she trailed off, running her hands through the the boar's dark hair. "And, of course, accepting his true form." She smirked when the younger girl winced under her hands, tightening her grip and yanking a few strands from the girl's head.

"Aren't you furious?"

The youth shook slightly, tears threatening to fall from her large eyes.

"Don't you wish he was dead?"

The boar nodded slightly, wimpering from the pain caused by the other's hand. She couldn't lie. Kyo meant the world to her, and if she couldn't have him, why would she let someone else? Especially that dimwitted Hatsuharu? She had been so worried upon hearing Akito's request for her presence. She had prayed for the best when she heard Kyo's name slip past the God's lips. She wondered vaguely what she had been expecting. Did she really expect any good to come from this visit? At least her dear Kyo wasn't hurt.

...Because she wanted to hurt him first.

No one broke Kagura Sohma's heart.

No one.

-

Kyo's stomach growled for the second time that morning, causing his boyfriend to laugh at him a second time, too. Was it his fault that Shigure's home was filled with too many weirdos for his liking? He almost regretted skipping breakfast as he remembered Tohru's sad expression, but pushed the thought to the back of his mind. Today, he and Haru were visiting the ox's house, and although Kyo would rather not sneak into Sohma property on an empty stomach, he couldn't have possibly eaten with the looks Shigure and the yankee were sending him across the table.

Haru was busy pulling him along the streets, speaking of the many video games they could play. Kyo frowned, wondering if he was dating a ten year old, with Haru's unhealthy obsession with violent video games, but again, pushed the thought to the back of his mind. If it made Haru happy, he'd try it, even if he would complain along the way.

"Kyo, are you listening?"

The cat's eyes snapped toward his boyfriend, a blush spreading across his features. "I, uh, yeah!" he stuttered. Haru sighed, turning back to he street. "What was the last thing I said?" he asked, smirking slightly. Kyo froze. "Something about violence?"he answered quietly, gaining an odd look from the ox. "No," the younger boy began.

"I was saying that we could get breakfast at my place, if you don't mind the mess,"he repeated. How in the world had the cat gotten violence out of that?

The rest of the walk was silent. It wasn't at all awkward, but Kyo still couldn't shake his feeling of discomfort. How long had it been since he'd entered the Sohma estate? He shuddered at the thought.

"I won't allow it."

He fell behind, hoping the younger boy didn't notice his odd behavior. Could he really force his feelings on the ox when his confinement was so close? He knew it wasn't right. It was selfish of him to love without thinking of the other's feelings, he knew, but since when did the cat make anyone happy?

"Kyo?" Haru called, and the cat sped up. Nothing was wrong with him. He just had to keep telling himself so. If he could fool himself, he could fool everyone else.

Yes, nothing was wrong.

He wasn't worried about his eighteenth birthday, or the Hell that would come after it.

-

The garden was growning well, he noted, pulling his rough gloves over smooth, pale fingers. The leeks were growning well, as well as the catnip that he'd been asked to grow. He laughed quietly. Would the plant really work on his short tempered cousin, or would Haru just earn himself a bump on the head?

He wondered vaguely if pushing the two together was really a good idea. They weren't the brightest family members, and telling Shigure of thier relationship was far from intelligent. He knew the dog too well to believe that he'd keep their secret. Akito was probably informed only hours after the dog found out himself.

His eyes narrowed. No, the dog couldn't be trusted.

He stood slowly, wiping himself off. A cough escapd his lips as he breathed in the dust. Would he really be that much help if the God got out of control? He shook his head, silver strands of hair falling into his vision.

He was useless.

-

"Home sweet home," Haru muttered. Kyo scowled. This house was filthy! How could the ox survive around here? Kyo turned to the younger boy, watching as he walked through the piles of abandoned garbage. "It's a little messy," he spoke, causing the older boy to scowl once more. "You think?" he spat, inching away from a pile that he could have sworn winked at him.

"What do want?" the white haired boy asked, digging through the refrigerator. Kyo wondered if he should even eat any of the ox's food, since he had no idea if he even threw out expired food. "I dunno,"he answered. Why didn't his mother clean? The cat thought back to all the days his mother cleaned the house. Every day he woke to the smell of her cleaning supplies and ever night he fell asleep with it hanging over his head.

The clinking of glass woke him from his thoughts. He turned to find that a bowl full of cerial had been placed before him. "It won't bite," Haru stated, clearing a spot for himself. In his hand he held a large, red apple. It figured that the ox wouldn't drink milk, since it came from cows.

Kyo ate slowly, soon realizing that there was nothing wrong with the food.

-

"Are you sure it was him?" she asked, trying to keep her rage in check. How dare the cat trespass onto her land! Who did the monster think he was? Did he think he was God? Did he think he was Tohru Honda?

"Yes, the orange hair was very hard to miss." She didn't know who this man was, but he had requested to see her, only to inform her of the cat's presence in her estate. She wouldn't stand for this!

The monster had stolen her ox, wasn't that enough? It must not have
been for him.

"You are excused," she spoke, and the man left. She walked toward the garden. How could she punish the outcast? Hurting Tohru Honda didn't seem appropriate, and punishing the ox would be a challenge.

She smirked, dark eyes glowing evilly.

The cat would have to be locked up a little earlier than expected.

((A/N: It took awhile, but it's finished!

Poor Yuki, thinking he's useless.

I feel bad for not writing him in more, since he's gonna be a big part of the end,

but I guess this is KyoxHaru afterall. I'm not sure if Tohru will be in this much,

since it's hard for me to get her personality right.

Well, Please Review And Tell Me What You Thought!))
