((A/N: Chapter Seven! Ah, I love writing on school nights! -School is a very inspiring place for me. I mean, it's nice after forcing your mind to work all day to settle down and do something productive like writing, drawing, or playing an instrument.
Okay, enough rambling.
Thank you Hatsuharu-chan for editing this chapter, and sorry for the inconvenience known as 'Chapter Six'!
To Those Who Reviewed:
LacusClyne7373: Thank you so much for offering, but I've already found a wonderful editor! It's flattering, though, that you offered! Thank you, thank you!
Syckitty: ah, you dirty minded person! Other people had the wrong idea too though, so you and myself aren't the only perverts! (haha) Yeah, Kagura and Akito are working together. That's why Akito called Kagura to see her earlier in the story. (It's not much of a spoiler, since I'm gonna mention it in the chapter)
KittyMojo: haha, thank you! I worried that it was a little lame, but I guess lameness is okay every once in a while, right?
animefreaks121: hmm, another dirty minded person! All you perverts making such a big deal out of a little video game session! (haha) Yeah, Akito is pretty creepy, but I think girl Akito is less so than boy Akito. And Yuki is sweet, so he had to be sweet in here!
darkwings15: Thank you, and I'll be sure to!
what the vell: haha, hag? I wonder what Akito would do if anyone ever called her that? I guess everyone's just so eager for something to actually happen between the characters, that they'll fall for little tricks like thst. (I've done it myself, although most stories aren't as slow paced as mine)
Amarilys: (gasp) I've read your story, A Ship In The Fog! It's very good, although I'm too evil to ever review good stories.. But anyway, thank you! (haha, all you old perverts)
flyingdaggers: ahahahahahahaha! (teary eyed) Yep, I would be slower without my hand! If only it would be just a little bit faster.. Ah, you should post that story! 'first kagura wouldnt shut up about haru and kyos hot kinky man sex' At that line, I almost burst out laughing! ..but I didn't because I'm "asleep" right now. (or at least my mom thinks I am) Now I really can't wait until you post a fiction! It will definitely be added to my favorites. There aren't enough really funny people on here, you know? (so I'm glad I have one of the funniest as a reviewer)
Miss Nox: thank you! And it hasn't been too long since you last reviewed! I just uploaded chapter six a day or so ago! Thank you! My weird plot will be the death of me, or somebody else for that matter.. But I'm glad you liked the part about Tohru's friends. (nobody mentioned it) I love it when a fanfiction makes me want to watch the anime, or read the manga! (I'm glad I could give you that feeling!) Like my plot, my updating pattern is bizarre, so I'll either update tomorrow, or in a week! Ah, yet another reader was tricked by the 'video game' scene! I love it everytime that someone reviews and informs me that whatever feeling or thought I intended you give them actually worked! It makes me feel like I've done a good job. Yeah, I'll read anything but KyoxKagura. I'm not sure why, but even in fanfiction, Kyo and Kagura just don't match.
DarkVampireGrl: I've ran out of annoying "haha, you're a pervert' jokes to bug my reviewers with, so I guess I'll be a normal person now, huh? Aw, people are already wishing Kyo was out of the cage, and he's not even in it yet! (gasp) you're my 60th reviewer for this story! (sixty, wow!) I guess I'm not doing too bad with an average of 10 reviews a chapter. (60 is a great ego booster.) But thank you for reviewing! I'm forever in debt to all of the wonderful people who take the time to tell me what they liked/disliked about the story! ..Ky0Kichi's gonna laugh when she finds out that I'm still advertising her stories. (haha) But yeah, it's like every good kyoxharu fanfiction in one, awesome story! (and it has a sequal) 'kyouke. has a lot of good stories too!
nekokazam: wow, two reviews recieved just in time! And I hope this wasn't too long of a wait! (like I said before, my updating pattern is bizarre)
-little oro-: I love welcome distractions. (ha) So, I'm glad to be yours! And thank you! (reviews always leave me flattered!)
..please enjoy!))
Chapter Seven
Kyo gasped quietly, a dark blush spreading across his cheeks. The ox had him pinned against the couch, only inches from the nervous kitten's face. The orange headed boy moved forward, brushing their lips together before...
'Ding, dong!' the doorbell rang. Both teens pulled back.
'Damnit!' the two cursed inwardly, as the younger boy rose to answer the door. He grasped the small handle, turning it slowly. As it opened, he caught the dark eyes of the dragon, instantly recognizing the man. "Hatori?" he asked, too annoyed to address the doctor respectfully. He stepped out of the way, allowing the older man to pass, but the dragon didn't budge. Haru could see the anxiety in his slitted eyes.
"I need you to come with me. Akito's orders." It was no use lying to the ox, since the boy probably wouldn't leave unless the God's name was mentioned. Haru stared for a moment, then glanced behind him at his orange headed lover. Why would their leader want him out of his own home? 'Unless...' he thought to himself, 'unless he was up to something.'
Hatori watched as the boy nodded, then left in search of his jacket. "Come on Kyo-" he began, but the older man cut him off. "Not him," he whispered, only sparing the older boy a glance. Haru frowned, sending his boyfriend an apologetic half-smile.
Yes, the God was definitely up to something.
-
Where was the ox's house again? Yuki sighed dejectedly. It had been so long since he'd visited the younger boy. Worry grasped at his stomach, while muffled coughs escaped his lips. A shiver ran through his body, causing him to pause in his search. Why had he even tried? He knew he couldn't help! Hell, he'd probably make things worse!
He cursed quietly, the words sounding foreign to him. Yuki Sohma never cursed. At least not aloud, or when anyone else was around. He turned slowly, hearing the thump of heavy boots against the wet ground. Three men, about twenty in age, followed a thin figure down the winding sidewalks. Long, dark hair and determined brown eyes gave away the figure's identity.
"Kagura?" He pushed his feelings of deja-vu aside, wondering if he should follow the group. Did she know the men, or were they just perverts?
"It's this way!" he heard the girl call, and let out a sigh of relief. So, if she wasn't being stalked, why was the boar leading these strangers around? Yuki had seen them around the area, so they 'were' Sohmas, but they weren't members of the cursed family, or even closely related to any.
The stinging in his throat brought Yuki back to reality. He coughed for what seemed like the thousandth time, quickened his pace, and headed in whichever direction he guessed Haru would be.
It was times like this that almost made the rat wish he'd spent more time at the main house.
Almost, but not quite.
-
Haru tapped his fingers against the cold glass of Hatori's car window, watching absentmindedly as small raindrops slid across its clear surface. He sighed quietly. He was worried. Worried about Akito's odd request, about the dragon's mournful expression, and even about the blurred figures outside, standing in the rain without an umbrella to shelter them.
But mostly, he was worried about Kyo.
His fingers rapped a little harder, leaving smudges where they had once been. Even if he couldn't see the older man's face, he could still feel those cold eyes staring at him. He shifted uncomfortably. It felt like the dragon was picking him apart, discovering each and every thought that ran through his mind.
He didn't like it when the doctor stared like that. He knew that if he were to turn around, the man's eyes would reveal his deepest, darkest fears.
Something terrible was going to happen.
-
"Kyo!" Kagura sang, prancing toward the orange headed boy. She smiled brightly, hiding the evil glint in her eyes. The cat grimaced, but stayed put. He knew that running from the boar was fatal, especially while trying to sneak out of Sohma property unnoticed.
The girl was too loud, he thought to himself. Half of the family must have heard that exclamation!
"What?" he hissed. The girl smiled, whispered a small greeting, and asked the cat what he was doing in the main estate. As she had expected, he lied, studdering a lame excuse about needing to see Hatori for a checkup. She glanced behind the boy to find three large figures. She smiled innocently, staring into crimson eyes.
"It's probably just the rain," she began. The figures inched closer, lingering behind the boy for only a moment. "You know how you get when it rains."
Kyo yelped, jerking away as large, warm hands wrapped themselves around his neck. He felt two more grab his wrists. He twisted desperately, staring at the boar in horror. She frowned, sparing him one scornful glance, before leaving the scene behind her.
She heard a yell, curses, and death threats toward the three strangers, but didn't turn to face the outcast. Her job was done.
'Just ignore it. The boys will do the rest.'
All noise ceased, and she finally faced the orange headed boy. He was pinned, a chloroform soaked cloth forcefully smashed into his face.
'It will pay for everything it's done to you, to this family.'
She stared at his limp figure, the depth of what she had done finally sinking in. She had just done something terrible. Was the pain in her heart actually lessened by forsaking the love of her life?
No, but it was sure helping.
-
Kyo awoke slowly, his mind soon realizing that he wasn't in wasn't Haru's house, or even Shigure's. It was dark, pitch black, and the ground seemed to be covered with water. It was freezing, the cold stealing what was left of his body heat. He ran his hand through his hair, hoping to ease the headache the pulsed throughout his brain. "Damnit," he muttered. What the Hell was going on?
Kagura's fake smile flashed through his mind, and memories slowly returned to him.
The talk, the large hands, then complete darkness. The bitter taste in his mouth was enough to tell him that he'd been drugged. He remembered hearing about a drug in class that knocked anyone within breathing distance into unconsciousness.
Had the older girl tricked him? Her bitter glare was enough to convince him, but he couldn't imagine why the boar would want to capture him.
'...unless' His heart almost skipped a beat. She couldn't have found out about Haru, could she? They'd been so careful, only telling the family members that would, most likely, find out on their own. It was, afterall, very hard to keep a secret relationship hidden from the keen rat and nosey novelist.
Shigure.
Kyo mentally slapped himself. How could he have been so blind? Telling the dog was like telling the God himself! The bastard probably ran and told the second he found out! The God had to be infuriated. He was surprised that he hadn't been locked up the moment the man found out.
'Locked up'
He froze, frantically searching the darkness for something, anything, to prove himself wrong.
Was this the cage? This small, dark prison? His eyes stung, tears welling up behind them. 'Haru!' his mind screamed. He couldn't just leave the ox! He had to, at least, say goodbye! He choked, mind running through all the things he'd never do with the younger boy.
He was a monster.
He couldn't cry, he wouldn't. It wasn't fair for him to cry when the ox was out somewhere, unaware that he was gone. He fisted his hands, fingernails piercing the calloused skin of his palms. What if Akito was torturing the ox? What if his boyfriend had it worse than himself?
Yes, he was a monster, and he deserved this.
But Haru did not.
To Be Continued
((A/N: Chapter Seven is now.. FINISHED! (right after school too)
It's pretty boring, choppy, and fast paced, but at least Hatsuharu-chan took care of the spelling errors!
Kagura's OOC, I know, but I can't bring myself to write her actually being nice. (I guess I don't like her enough)
Please Review And Tell Me What You Thought!))
