A/N: Okay, so it's almost the end of Spring Break for me and I thought I'd force myself to write this because I wanted to give you an author's note so badly to say that I will not be updating after this chapter until sometime in April. Hopefully that'll give me time to recuperate and get myself in the right mindset to continue. Well, please read and review! Thanks!

It was boring.

I flipped through my manga as I lay on my stomach with a pillow under my arms. I let out an exhausted sigh. The shuffling around the house was giving me a headache. I wanted to yell at them for being so noisy, but I couldn't considering it was . . .

"Are you okay, Kyou-kun?"

Tohru.

"Ah . . ." I began to reply but someone even more annoying beated me to the punch.

"He should pull his own weight around the house. Don't you have some spring cleaning to do, stupid cat?"

I snapped my comic book shut and glared up at the smirking rat.

"Shut up and just mind your own business for once! Do you always have to bring in your little two cents into my conversations?"

"Yes."

I grumbled under my breath as I got up from the floor and stomped towards my room. Mumbling obsceneties, I pulled open the door to my room and got the shock of my life.

"Yo." The Ox greeted from my bed. He was laid sprawled on my futon reading one of my many mangas from the shelf.

"Who said you could enter someone's room without their permission?"

The Cow shrugged and turned the page of his book. I walked past him to open the door to my balcony and turned around to face the Ox's back,

"Get up."

"No."

"I need to air out my futon, now get up," I growled with both hands on my hips. The Ox gave a small sigh and got up. I gathered my futon in my hands and walked on over to the balcony. I began shaking off the dead skin cells and dust that had accumulated over the past few months.

"You done?"

The voice was close to my ear and I felt his hot breath tickling my skin. I jumped and nearly fell over the balcony had it not for Haru's quick hands.

"When I get back on my feet, you're dead!" I threatened.

"Is that so?" I heard him mused, "Then . . . I won't pull you back."

"Damn you . . ."I growled, my hands were tired and heavy with trying to maintain my grip on the futon.

"What soft skin you have . . ." I heard the Cow murmur behind me. I let another series of growls to warn the person behind me, but the threatening sound didn't get across.

"Let go of me!"

"Are you sure that's what you want? Even though we're only on the second floor, it is a long drop," Haru drawled from behind me.

"Che!"

"Come on . . ." Light, feathery kisses were planted a straight line down the middle of my back; directly down my spine.

"Give in to me, Kyou."

That afternoon, the spring cleaning was left for another day.
