Disclaimer: I own nothing… except this story

 

Now on with the fic!

 

Kyo walked down the street back to Shigure’s house after coming back from a nice long walk to get away from Yuki. He wished he would have stayed on the roof this time though as the rain poured down relentlessly on his person. Kyo shivered and wrapped his arms around himself to try to stay warm all though he knew it was a wasted effort.

“Stupid rain… stupid Yuki... thinks he’s so much better than me.” he said as he trudged back home. He felt very tired and just wanted to go to sleep. He wasn’t even sure what set him off this time. All Yuki did was look at him and he just blew up.

 

He’d been feeling on edge for more than week now and it wasn’t because of the rain either. He sighed and hugged himself tighter. ‘ Maybe I should break down and ask Shigure what he thinks.’

 

He sighed again and was about to turn on the dirt path to Shigure’s house when a soft meow caught his attention. He stopped and looked around for the source of the sound and saw a fat, gray cat with stripes of white everywhere. The poor thing looked as waterlogged as he probably looked. He sighed and went over to it. He couldn’t just leave it there. That would be cruel and inhumane and besides… he would be condemning his own people… so to speak.

 

“Hey, there,” he said softly as he stroked the cat’s head, “Seems I’m not the only one who got caught in this rain, huh?” The cat meowed in response and Kyo picked her up (he realized there was no penis) and wrapped her in his soaked jacket. “Sorry it’s not dry but it should keep you from getting anymore soaked then you already are.” She meowed and snuggled up against Kyo’s chest as he walked on.

 

Finally Kyo made it back, right when the rain decided to end. Kyo sighed in exhaustion as he opened the door to see a very worried Tohru.

“Kyo! Are you all right?!”

“… no…” Shigure came just in time to catch Kyo as he tripped over his feet as he tried to walk and fell. Shigure righted him and Kyo looked at him dazedly then moved so that he could rest his head on Shigure’s chest. “I’m… so… tired…” he said softly.

“And soaked to the bone.” Shigure sighed and picked Kyo up bridal style. Kyo shivered and snuggled closer to Shigure to get warmer. “Tohru, could you be a dear and make Kyo something hot to eat and some green tea?”

“Of course!” And she ran off to do just that.

Yuki was coming down the stairs and was surprised to see Shigure carrying Kyo up the stairs. “What’s wrong with him?”

“Looks like he got caught in the rain.”

Yuki shrugged, “It’s his own fault.” he said as he continued down the stairs. Shigure sighed and walked into Kyo’s room.

 

After getting some dry towels then closing the door, he set about the task of getting Kyo out of his wet clothes. It was then he noticed that there was a large lump in his jacket. How he missed it before, he’ll never know. He unzipped it to see a gray cat. She looked at Shigure and meowed pitifully.

“I guess I should dry you as well.” She put up no fight as Shigure dried her. Once she was dry, she sat by Kyo’s head and meowed happily as Shigure took off the rest of Kyo’s clothes and put him on his futon then proceeded to dry him off. As Shigure was drying Kyo's legs, he looked up to notice a soft blush over the bridge of his nose and staining his cheeks and that his breathing was slightly labored. ‘ Ha’ri isn’t going to like this.’ Shigure shook his head and, satisfied that Kyo was dry everywhere, looked in Kyo’s closet for some warm clothing then not finding any, covered Kyo with his blanket then left to get something from his room and to get some medicine for his fever.

 

Kyo opened his eyes when Shigure left and rolled over on his side. The blush wasn’t just from his fever. When Shigure started to dry his lower body, he seriously thought he was going to get an erection but it seemed as if his body was way too tried to react to any stimulation and for that he was grateful. He felt something nuzzling his head and looked up to see the gray cat he saved. He reached up and petted her on the head. She purred and nuzzled his hand instead.

 

He wasn’t sure what compelled him to help her. Not many people helped him. In fact he could count all of them on one hand and maybe Hatori but just because he was a doctor. But he couldn’t… just leave her there to die. She didn’t look sickly but her stomach was fat and she didn’t have a collar on so he concluded that she was heavy with kittens. Kyo smiled as he ran his finger lightly over her belly. ‘ Will I ever have some kittens of my own?’ he sighed, ‘ Probably not.’ Kyo looked towards his door as Shigure walked back in.

“So I see you are awake.”

“Yeah.” he said softly. ‘ Damn, my throat hurts.’

“How do you feel?” he asked as he sat down next to Kyo on the futon and felt his forehead.

“Like crap.”

“You sound a bit hoarse.” Shigure opened a bottle and poured some of its contents into a spoon. “Here. Take this. It’ll help with your fever.” Shigure held the spoon in his face and Kyo took it with no arguments; too tired to put up a fight anyway. “I’ll have to call Ha’ri and see when can he come and see you.”

“Hmm…” He sighed softly as Shigure stroked his hair and almost fell asleep. ‘ That feels sooo good…’ He started to purr softly and moved his head as Shigure started to stroke his neck.

“Kyo?”

“Hmm… what?”

“Are you going to sleep naked or are you going to put something on?” he asked with a smile.

“Uh…” Kyo felt his face grow hotter. He had forgotten that he was naked and that Shigure had been the one to take care of him.

“Although… you might want to put this on as Tohru is coming up here with something for you to eat.”

Kyo’s eyes widen and he almost threw the covers off to put on the clothes but Shigure stopped him. “You can just put this on in bed.”

“Thank you.” he said softly.

“You’re quite welcome Kyo.” Kyo put the oversized robe on and frowned. “You look so cute with that on Kyo.” He looked swamped in his robe. The sleeves hung over his hands and Shigure laughed as the poor kitten tried to desperately stop the sleeves from covering up his hands.

“Whatever.” Once Kyo had his clothes situated, the gray cat climbed onto his lap, curled up then went to sleep. Kyo smiled and stroked her soft fur.

There was a knock on the door and Shigure opened the door. “Ah, Tohru! You have arrived!”

“Uh, yes! I hope Kyo is up?!”

“Why, yes! Here, let me take this off your hands.” Shigure took the tray from Tohru and set it over Kyo’s legs after moving the cat from his lap who just hissed at him in annoyance from being removed from her resting place. There was leek soup, rice, a piece of cake, and some green tea.

Kyo felt sicker when he saw and smelt the leek soup but sucked it up and smiled at Tohru. “Thank you.”

“Well, I guess we should be leaving. Are you going to be alright by yourself, Kyo?” Kyo nodded and started eating.

When Shigure and Tohru left, Kyo picked up the cat again. She looked at him and meowed. He smiled again and stroked her fur. “Are you going to stay with me?”

She meowed happily and purred as Kyo rubbed behind her ear. “I’m glad.” Kyo finished eating and moved the tray off to the side. He yawned and laid down on his futon, nuzzling his face into his pillow and fell straight to sleep. The cat curled up next to Kyo and fell asleep also.

 

Shigure sighed as he dialed Hatori’s number. The phone rung four times before Hatori picked up.

“Hello.”

“Ha’ri! So glad to hear your lovely voice!”

“What do you want Shigure?”

“Oh, yes. I was wondering if you could come over?”

“Why?”

“Well, Kyo’s gotten himself sick and I was wondering if you could come over tonight to check up on him.”

There was a heavy sigh then, “I’ll be over soon.”

“I’ll see you then!” Shigure hung up and waited for Hatori to show up.

~*~*~*~

Hatori showed up twenty minutes later and he and Shigure walked to Kyo’s room. The gray cat looked up as the door opened again and the man who dried her and a stranger walked in. She meowed in annoyance and licked Kyo’s face to wake him up. He let out a soft whine and slowly opened his eyes to see Hatori looking down at him.

“Yes?” He was tired and just wanted to sleep.

“I know you’re tired Kyo but I need to check you so I can make you better.”

‘ Why in the hell is he talking to me like I’m some two year old?! I know why he’s here dammit!’ Kyo just sighed and sat up. ‘ Damn! I feel so weak… I just want to lie back down.’ Kyo’s eyes drooped and he started to lie back down but was stopped when he felt something blocking his descent. He turned his head to see Shigure smiling at him. ‘ Bastard.’

“We don’t need you falling asleep on us, Kyo-kun! You need to tell Ha’ri what’s wrong so he can make you feel better.” Shigure cooed softly in his ear as he rubbed Kyo's sides soothingly.

Kyo sighed and leaned heavily against Shigure. “Fine. I’m weak, my throat hurts so it’s hard to talk, and I’m tired as hell so let me sleep.” He grumbled softly and moved so that he could rest against Shigure’s chest since he wasn’t letting him lie down just yet.

Hatori sighed and checked Kyo to see what exactly was wrong and concluded that he had come down with the flu from being inheritably weak against rainy weather and from being stuck out in the rain for so long. Hatori told them what he needed to get Kyo and told Kyo that he should just rest awhile and that he should be fine in about a week.

“I’ll be back later tomorrow with your medicine.” Kyo just nodded and closed his eyes as he snuggled closer to Shigure who had tried to move him off but was unsuccessful.

Hatori smirked and told them he would see himself out as he closed the door behind him.

“Umm… Kyo-kun… I would like to go to my own room now.” All that met his request was a soft snore and a meow. Shigure shrugged and got them both situated on the futon. Shigure wrapped his arm around Kyo's thin waist, his hand moving by itself and resting on Kyo's round ass, and rested his chin atop his head. Kyo moaned softly at the action but stayed asleep.

Shigure looked down and smiled to himself, thinking, ‘ I hope Kyo doesn’t kill me for this in the morning,’ before falling asleep.

~*~*~*~

Kyo moaned softly in slight displeasure as his internal alarm clock told him to get up and do his morning routine so he tried to get up, unsuccessfully. His foggy mind was trying to process what was wrong before he felt something touching his ass. ‘ What the hell!?’ He sat up and saw Shigure sleeping happily away. ‘W hat the hell is Shigure doing in my room or, better yet, my bed?’ Now the poor kitty was confused. He saw Shigure's eyes flutter and open.

“Good morning Kyo-kun. Did you sleep well?”

Kyo was about to answer until he felt what he assumed was a hand caress his bottom. Red hot anger boiled up inside of him at the action and was about to yell at Shigure and beat the tar out of him until Shigure's other hand came up and stroked his neck.

“Oh…” He sighed softly in pleasure and silently cursed Shigure as all his anger just disappeared. Shigure pulled Kyo back down to rest against his chest and continued to caress the sensitive neck. “Stop… you pervert…” he mumbled softly, only half meaning it.

“Hmm… seems your neck is very sensitive, so sensitive that it calms you immediately. I could use that vital piece of information.” he contemplated.

The gray cat hissed at Shigure and he stopped momentarily, forgetting that she was there. “I’m sorry. I’m sure you want some of Kyo- kun’s attention as well.” She walked over to Kyo and rubbed up against his belly.

“Sorry for ignoring you there. Thank this perverted dog for that.” He sat up and picked her up. “If you’re going to stay, you need a name. I can’t keep calling you girl or ‘hey cat’, now can I?” He went over some possible names in his head and settled on one. “How about… Angel?” She meowed happily and Kyo smiled. “Angel it is then.” He looked at Shigure, who had also sat up, and saw him staring. “What?”

“You look… really beautiful when you smile.”

Kyo blushed and looked away. “Whatever.” He said softly.

“No, I mean it,” Shigure gripped Kyo's chin and made him turn to face him. “You really are beautiful.” Kyo blushed a deeper red and felt another smile tugging at his lips. Shigure smiled a disarming smile and Kyo smiled back. “You should smile more often.” He said softly as he ran his thumb across his full bottom lip. Kyo felt his heart flutter at the comment and shyly looked away and just rested back against Shigure's chest.

“Lie back down.” Kyo commanded softly. Shigure did as told and Kyo got comfortable. “I never thanked you.”

“Hmm…?”

“For… you know… taking care of me. You didn’t have to… but thanks.”

“I wanted to. I couldn’t just leave my poor kitty to get sick and die.” Kyo sighed softly and almost fell back asleep. Kyo petted Angel’s head as he thought about what he was now going through. Shigure was either being his old perverted self or… he was actually showing him affection in his own way. He has always liked Shigure but it wasn’t his way to show that he liked someone around others. Shigure was someone he could talk to, much like his Sensei. Shigure would never really do anything that would harm him even if he teased and laughed at him. It really was nice to have Shigure all to himself sometimes. He smiled again and nuzzled Shigure's neck, breathing in his scent.

 

Shigure was a bit surprised to feel Kyo nuzzling his neck but he didn’t mind. In fact, he buried his nose in Kyo's sweet smelling hair and sighed. Kyo always had a sweet scent around him that wouldn’t go away even if he did use a different soap. He could just eat him up. He heard two soft purrs and smiled. Kyo purring was just too adorable to him. He idly wondered what other cat qualities Kyo had.

 

A knock on the door disrupted the peaceful moment. Shigure looked up to see Tohru peeking inside. “Um… I just came to tell you that breakfast is ready.” Tohru chewed on her bottom lip before asking, “Is Kyo feeling any better?”

Shigure sat up with some difficulty since Kyo did fall back to sleep. “He’s feeling better today. He’s not as hoarse as yesterday.”

“That’s good to hear.”

“We’ll be down in a minute. I just have to wake Kyo up again.”

“Ok.” She left, making sure to close the door again, and Shigure went about the task of waking Kyo. He didn’t want to wake him but he needed to eat.

“Kyo… kitten wake up.” He said gently as he shook him.

There was a soft whimper and Kyo frowned in his sleep. Shigure smirked and kissed his temple and Kyo was instantly awake.

“You pervert!” Shigure only smiled as his words didn’t carry their usual ferocity since Kyo was still a bit hoarse, so it sounded more like an indignant yelp.

“Breakfast is ready.”

Kyo sighed and closed his eyes again. “I’m not hungry dammit.”

“But you have to eat Kyo-kun!”

“No, I don’t.”

“Please? What about your kitty? She has to eat.”

Kyo looked at Angel and sighed. “Fine.” Kyo tried to stand on unstable legs but found he was still too weak to do anything. Shigure stood and helped him along with Angel right by his feet. Kyo didn’t protest the help and just let Shigure walk him down the stairs.

 

Kyo sat down and sighed in pure exhaustion. ‘ Damn. I’m weaker than I thought I was if walking down the stairs tired me out this much.’ Angel sat by his side and meowed softly. Kyo started to eat and found his hands shaking slightly as the food slipped from his chopsticks and fell back onto his plate. He growled in frustration. ‘ Stupid flu!’

“Can’t the stupid cat even feed himself now?” Kyo just growled at him and continued to try and eat. After trying five times, he just quit and got a small saucer and put some meat on it and sat it down in front of Angel.

“Sorry. I don’t have any cat food so this will have to do until I get some, Ok?” She meowed in agreement and started eating.

“Since when do we have another stupid cat to take care of?” Yuki asked quite angrily.

Kyo just glared at him and tried to eat again. He looked up when some food was placed in his face to see Shigure smiling at him. “I wouldn’t mind helping you, Kyo.”

Kyo smiled brightly at him and before he knew what he was doing, he was opening his mouth so Shigure could feed him. Shigure happily fed him his food if only to get more of Kyo's gorgeous smiles out of him.

 

Kyo happily ate away, completely ignoring Yuki and Tohru. Kyo felt giddy with excitement as Shigure continued to feed him. No one had ever offered to do something for him because they wanted to (besides Kazuma of course). Maybe he should get sick more often if it got this type of attention. When Kyo opened his mouth to receive another piece of food he felt a pair of soft lips against his and his eyes snapped opened, which he didn’t even remember closing in the first place, and stared into Shigure's smiling eyes before he pulled away.

Kyo heard a soft gasp and an ‘Oh, My!’ as he stared at Shigure. Shigure held his plate up as explanation. “You had no more food so I gave you something else.”

Kyo’s face turned a blood red before he yelled, “Pervert!!!”

“Aww, Kyo-kun! Don’t say things you don’t mean!” Kyo just growled at him and turned his back to him.

‘ Leave it to him to ruin my good mood. I hope he catches the flu!’

Kyo glanced over at Yuki as he heard him scold Shigure. “Shigure you know that was uncalled for. That stupid cat is not only sick but probably defenseless to your advances. You shouldn’t try to take advantage of him. You better hope you don’t catch his illness.” Kyo was shocked at this. Was Yuki… defending him? From Shigure?

“Oh, Yuki! You do care about our kitty! And I’m not taking advantage of him nor will I catch his illness. I’ve already taken measures to ensure my good health.”

Kyo turned his head towards him and blinked. Was that a blush? “I do not care about him. I just don’t like how you’re so friendly with him all of a sudden. It will take some getting use to.”

“Right.” Shigure pulled Kyo to him. “Well, kitten, let’s get you back to bed. It seems like you won’t be going to school today.”

“ Wha… Hey!” he yelled indignantly as Shigure easily picked him up and walked back to Kyo’s room with Angel following close behind. “Shigure! Put me down now!!!”

“But you’ll get tired from such a long walk.”

Kyo blushed and looked away. “Whatever.” he mumbled. Shigure smiled in triumph and walked into Kyo’s room. When Shigure removed an arm from around Kyo to close his door, Kyo gasped and wrapped his arms around Shigure's neck tightly so he wouldn’t fall. “You better not drop me!”

“Don’t worry. I won’t drop you. You’re light enough to carry with one arm. But if you don’t want to fall… you can wrap your legs around me.” Shigure hoped Kyo would be naïve enough to fall for it. And he was. Shigure smiled to himself as he felt Kyo shift and wrap his legs around his waist and Shigure moved his hand under his butt to hold him up better, cupping one firm cheek.

“Hey, was this just one of your schemes so you could touch my ass?! You pervert!!!”

“I can hold you better this way.” he reasoned.

“I bet you can.” Kyo grumbled as Shigure closed his door and walked over to the futon and sat down with Kyo in his lap. Kyo glared at him and tried to get up but moaned softly in pain as he got up too fast and got caught in a dizzy spell. He lost his balance and would have fallen if Shigure had not rescued him again from his fall.

“Next time you shouldn’t get up so fast. You are sick you know.”

“Hmm…” Kyo laid his head on Shigure's chest and waited for the spell to past, closing his eyes. “Be quiet.” he murmured. Shigure smiled and kissed the top of Kyo’s head, getting a good whiff of his sweet scent.

Shigure sat them back down to lay down so that Kyo was on top of him. When Kyo didn’t complain, Shigure wrapped his arms around his waist. Kyo just nuzzled Shigure's neck and sighed. “I do not like being sick.”

“No one in their right mind does.” Shigure replied.

There was silence for a moment then, “Why are you still touching my ass?” Kyo asked tiredly.

“Because it’s a nice ass?” he said as he fondled his butt to prove his point.

“You pervert,” he said with a yawn.

“Maybe you should go back to sleep, Kyo-kun. You sound a bit tired,” he said soothingly as his hand moved up to rub his back.

“Sleep sounds good.” Shigure pulled the covers over them and Kyo promptly fell asleep. Shigure smiled and continued to rub Kyo’s back as he slept and waited for Hatori to bring Kyo his medicine.

 

Tbc ?

 

So what did you guys think? This is like the first time I’ve written a fic and the lemon is not in it. I don’t plan to write a lemon until probably the 4 th or 5 th chapter maybe because of how the story is going to play out. It’s going to mild in the start then gets gruesome the rest of the way and will probably be the longest story I’ve ever written. But I do hope you guys like my start. I promise it’ll be a great fic!

 

Please R&R!!!
