Fruits Basket Fan Fiction ❯ All Good Things Must Come to an End ❯ chapter 2 ( Chapter 2 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

Evilchild here! I'm glad you all liked my first attempt at a FB fic! I'm really excited about this one! It's already one of my faves, along with `Is this real?' And `Love you always'. Thanks for any and all support you gave! My mouth has finally healed all the way. I can finally function like a normal person again!

A/N: Yuki is going to be a little OOC so I thought I'd warn you beforehand. I forgot to say that this fic takes place near the end of their second year and Kyo is seventeen. This is a very important aspect of the story.

Disclaimer: I don't own FB

Now on with the fic!

Hatori showed up around 12:30 pm with Kyo's medicine and knocked on the door. Shigure answered and quickly led Hatori to Kyo's room.

“My, my. If I didn't know any better I would say that you're quite anxious to get Kyo better. Tired of taking care of him already?”

Shigure laughed and opened Kyo's door. “That's not it at all. I actually like having him sick.” He said as he sat by Kyo and stroked his hair, earning him a soft purr for his actions. “He's much easier to handle now that he can't do anything about anything.”

“Really?”

“Really.” Angel meowed and rubbed up against Hatori's leg then licked Shigure's hand and curled up against Kyo's stomach. “I think she was thanking us for taking care of her master.”

“How kind of her. Has he gotten any better?”

“Somewhat. He's not as hoarse as before but the flu has started to kick in. I had to walk him down the stairs and feed him because he was too weak to do it alone. Walking down the stairs tired him out so much that he was shaking. So being the kind person that I am, I carried him back to his room.”

One eyebrow rose at that and Hatori just shook his head. “Well, this is nothing new and I expected it to happen.” Hatori set his bag down on Kyo's desk and he took out all of Kyo's medicine. After explaining what they were for and when Kyo should take them, he got ready to leave.

“He should be well within a week or so. Make sure he has plenty of rest and that he eats and takes his medicine. If anything else happens just call me.”

“Thanks Ha'ri!” Hatori gave a nod and left. Shigure sighed and went to put Kyo's medicine away. When he came back, Kyo was sitting up and rubbing Angel's ear. “Kyo, you really shouldn't be up. You need your rest.”

Kyo looked at him and blushed. “I… have to go to the bathroom but I need some help getting up. My legs feel like jelly.”

Shigure smiled. “No problem Kyo-kun.”

“And don't try to pull any funny stuff.”

“I would never try anything funny on you.”

“Sure.” Kyo let Shigure help him up and walk him to the bathroom then walked him back when he was done.

“Oh, right. Ha'ri came by while you were asleep and brought your medicine.”

“Good. This really sucks.”

“It's not all bad.”

Kyo glared at him. “You're having fun messing with me because I can't do anything to you.”

“Yes.”

“Then it still sucks.” He said with a pout. Shigure chuckled and petted his head.

“Well, I really should go and finish my next novel.” Shigure started to get up but stopped when he felt a pull on his robe. He smiled to himself. “Yes?”

“Can… I come with you? I won't get in the way and I really don't want to stay up here all day.”

“You really should be getting your rest.”

“Please?”

Shigure sighed and helped Kyo up. “I just can't say `No' to a pretty face.” Kyo smiled then frowned.

“I do not have a `pretty' face. That's that damn rat's department.” He said with a huff.

“Whatever you say.”

They walked to Shigure's study and Kyo lay out on the porch with Angel lounging next to him on her side. Shigure sighed and got to work. Kyo watched Shigure for awhile then sat up. “Shigure?”

“Hmm?”

“Can I ask you something?”

“Ask away.”

“Well, I think something's wrong with me and I wanted to know what you thought.”

“I'm surprised you value my opinion Kyo.”

Kyo blushed. “Yeah, well, you being a writer…”

“Novelist.”

“Whatever, I thought that you might know what's wrong with me since you're smart. I would have talked to Hatori but I don't feel comfortable talking with him about these things.” Kyo took a deep breath. “Ok, I think it started about a week ago, at least that's when I started to notice some things. I've been kind of jumpy, more so than usual, and I've been moody and tired like it was raining all the time. I also have started to have a craving for… sweets.”

“Nothing really seems out of the ordinary besides the wanting sweets thing.”

“Yes but these things feel… I don't know… amplified. More and more things are getting on my nerves and I don't know why. Hell, I even yelled at a pen when it ran out of ink.”

“So that's what you were yelling about.” Shigure mused. “I admit you have been moodier than usual. You even yelled at Yuki for looking at you.”

Kyo frowned at that. “He probably deserved it somewhere down the line.”

Shigure smirked, “Maybe you're PMSing.”

“I'm being serious here!” He sounded hurt.

Shigure sighed and walked over to Kyo and sat him in his lap. “So am I. Believe it or not, men can some times go through a PMS stage just like women though not as often.”

“I'm not going to have a period… am I?” he asked fearfully. With his weird ass family you never know what's going to happen so he just wanted to make sure.

“Of course not.”

“Good.” He gave a relieved sigh and nuzzled Shigure's neck. “Thanks for listening.” He said softly.

“Any time. Now I really have to get back to work.” Kyo made an annoyed sound but moved out of his lap. Shigure chuckled at this. “I promise you can have my lap back when I'm done, ok?”

“Sure.” He said nonchalantly but inside he was smiling happily.

~*~*~*~

Yuki came home around 5 o'clock and saw Shigure walking back to his study with a plate in one hand, a cup in the other, and a medicine bottle balanced precariously on the plate.

“Ah, Yuki you're back. Tohru is at work then?”

“Yes. What are you doing?”

“I'm taking Kyo something to eat so he can take his medicine.”

Yuki scowled at that. “And he can't get it himself?”

“He's too sick right now so I'm just making it easier on him. You know how it is right?”

Yuki sighed and walked off. Shigure smiled and walked back to his study.

“I'm back Kyo-kun!”

“I hope it's edible. Since you wouldn't let me make it myself, I tried to give you very easy directions to make a sandwich.”

“When I made one for myself, to see if it was Ok, it didn't taste bad. Besides you're sick. We do not need anymore sick people.”

Kyo gave him a look and took the plate after taking his medicine. Kyo saw the two slices of meat on the plate and gave them to Angel to eat. “We really need to get you some real cat food.” He picked her up when they both were done and stroked her soft fur. “Maybe we can go to the pet shop and get you some things after I'm better. What do you say?”

She meowed happily at that and purred softly.

“That's a great idea. But you should get some regular cat food before then though.” Shigure thought for a minute. “Yuki and Tohru can stop by the store tomorrow and get some when they get out of school since Tohru doesn't have work tomorrow.”

“Yuki won't want to but will do it because Tohru will. So I'll ask her later.” Kyo smiled. “You hear that Angel? You'll have some real cat food tomorrow.” She meowed again. Kyo smiled wider and lightly rubbed her belly. `I wonder what her kittens will look like.' He thought idly.

“Kyo? Do you want to take a bath? It could help you relax.”

“How relaxed should I get before I drown in the tub?” He put Angel down and turned towards Shigure. “But… a bath sounds good. I never had one during the day.”

“Good then.” Shigure got up to run his bath water.

As he was making his way towards the bathroom he saw Yuki walking towards him. “Ah, Yuki. Have you come to see me?”

Yuki looked trapped for a minute then said, “No,” and walked towards Shigure's study. Shigure laughed to himself and continued on his way.

Yuki took a deep breath and walked into Shigure's study and saw Kyo lying on the porch, looking peaceful. To Yuki, Kyo looked more peaceful than he ever did before as he trailed his finger up and down Angel's stomach, creating a scene of tranquility, before it was shattered when Kyo looked up and saw him, a frown quickly replacing the small smile that was on his face just a second before.

“What do you want? I'm in no mood to try to fight with you.” Displeasure clearly lacing his, otherwise, flat voice.

Yuki sighed and sat near Kyo, whose body visibly tensed, “I'm not going to do anything to you so you can calm down.” Kyo relaxed a bit but he still kept a suspicious eye on Yuki.

“What do you want?” he asked again.

“I… just wanted to see how you were doing.” He said softly.

Kyo gaped at Yuki. `He wanted to see how I was doing?!'

“I know Shigure said you got caught in the rain yesterday and earlier you couldn't even feed yourself so I figured that you really weren't feeling all that good.” Yuki looked away from Kyo's face as he said this but Kyo could of swore he saw a soft pink tint on his cheeks. “I just wanted to know if you were feeling any better.” Kyo was shocked and just stared at Yuki. Yuki looked up and saw Kyo staring and felt anger rising up inside of him. “Look. I was just trying to be nice to you for a change. The least you could do is answer me but if you won't, then I'll leave.” Yuki got up but Kyo quickly snapped out of his stupor and grabbed Yuki's wrist before he could he leave.

“Wait.” Yuki stopped but didn't turn around to face him. “I'm… sorry. It was just so sudden. It was shocking to say the least.” Kyo let go of his wrist as Yuki sat back down. “I'm doing a little better. Thanks for asking.” It was getting easier to thank someone after saying it to Shigure so many times.

Yuki smiled, actually smiled, and did something so unexpected that it blew the fact that he smiled at Kyo right out the window. He hugged him. “That's good to hear.” He murmured as he rubbed his back. This made Kyo very uncomfortable.

“Um, Yuki? Not that I don't mind you being nice to me once in a while but are you…?” He heard a soft sniffing sound, “Are you sniffing me?!” He asked incredulously.

Yuki seemed to snap out of whatever daze he was in and let go of Kyo and hurried to the door so fast you'd think Kyo had some horrible contagious disease. “… Yuki?” To avoid uncomfortable questions, Yuki quickly turned tail and, to save face, walked quickly out of the room then ran to his room after he was out of Kyo's sight and slammed his door close, just barely missing running into Shigure. Shigure raised an eyebrow but just shook his head and walked back to his study. When he entered, he noticed that Kyo looked very upset.

“Kyo-kun? What happened?”

“Yuki… He… I'm not too sure what happened.” He was quite flustered. When he noticed Yuki sniffing his neck, it gave him a warm funny feeling in the pit of his stomach but it also made him uncomfortable.

“Well, tell me what was going on.” He said as he made himself comfortable.

“Alright. Yuki came in here and asked if I was feeling better. I was shocked and I guess he took it the wrong way and tried to leave but I stopped him and told him I was feeling a little better and he smiled and hugged me and rubbed my back. Then… he started to sniff me.”

“I sniff you and you say nothing about it.” He said with a smirk.

“Yeah but it's different with you. Yuki doing it is weird and I have a feeling he didn't even realize what he was doing because when I asked him, he stopped and shot out of here like a bat out of hell.” Kyo blushed and looked down. “And when he sniffed me… it… sort of… felt good.”

“Good how?”

“Like `I wish he would do more' good.” He said softly.

“Ah, so you do have hormones.”

“That's not funny.”

Shigure shrugged and picked Kyo up. “Time for your bath!”

“Put me down!”

Shigure kissed his temple and Kyo instantly quieted. “Now be a good boy and let me take care of you, Kyo-kun.”

“Whatever.”

When they got to the bathroom, Shigure set Kyo down and smiled when he wobbled a little and held onto him for support. “Do you need some help taking a bath?”

Kyo blushed a bright red and yelled, “NO!”

Shigure pouted, “But what if you need some help?”

“I think I can manage on my own.”

“If you're sure?”
Kyo sighed and hugged Shigure, but really, he was getting tired of standing on his feet and needed the extra support. “I'm very sure. Now please leave.”

“Alright. But you'll need something to wear. Do you want another one of my robes or some of your own clothes?”

“I think I'll wear some of my clothes.”

“Alright then. You're sure you're…”

“Yes.” He let him go and pushed him out. “I'm fine.”

Shigure smiled. “Ok, I'll just bring some of your clothes then.”

“You do that.” He sighed as he closed the door and leaned against it. `Who would've thought that Shigure could be a mother hen?' He shook his head and quickly took off the robe and sunk into the bath. `Maybe I should have said I wanted another one of his robes. They're a lot easier to put on than jeans and a t-shirt.'

The bath really was helping to relax him. He wasn't sure what made Shigure put bath bubbles and what seemed like baby oil in the bath but he was thankful all the same. There was even a pillow suction-cupped to the bath. He lazily glanced over towards the door as it opened and Shigure popped in.

“I see you're enjoying your bath.”

Kyo, who was far too gone to even care what he was saying, just moaned out an answer and closed his eyes. Shigure chuckled and set his clothes down on the sink.

“Don't stay in too long. I don't want to have to come back in here to find out you've drowned.”

“M'kay.” He mumbled softly. Shigure left and Kyo began to run his fingers up and down his body slowly, not as a way to please himself but more as a way to massage his achy body parts.

`All this bath needs to be even more wonderful are jet pumps.' Kyo moaned at the thought. Now that would be a really relaxing bath, a bath he would mostly likely drown in because he'd fall asleep. `I'll soak for a little longer then wash up.' He thought as he continued to massage himself.

~*~*~*~

Yuki sighed as sat on his bed. Why in the world was he feeling this way towards that stupid cat? He sniffed him for crying out loud!

“I need to get out.” He said to himself as he shook his head. He had really wanted to know if Kyo was feeling better. After that, he remembered smelling the sweet scent that usually surrounded Kyo but it seemed off. Before he knew it, he was sniffing Kyo and was actually getting hard from the scent. That was what freaked him out so much. He ran to his room in hopes that his erection would go away. No such luck. He tried to clear his thoughts but the incessant throbbing between his legs quickly drew his attention.

Sighing resignedly, Yuki got ready to just quickly get rid of his erection then thought it better if he just did it in the bathroom. There was less of a chance of someone, namely Shigure, walking in on him and asking embarrassing questions. With his mind made up, he walked to the bathroom that Kyo was currently occupying. Had he known that Kyo was taking a bath, he would have gone to the downstairs restroom. So when he walked in on Kyo washing his hair and looking decidedly fuckable with the soap suds slowly making their way down his tanned chest and nipples, which were hard little pebbles against his chest, eyes closed slightly so that you could only see a hint of ruby red, and lips parted as he made soft breathy sighs and moaning sounds, he almost came in his pants. He stood there in shock for a minute just staring at the incredibly sexy creature in front of him until Kyo turned his half-lidded gaze on him.

“What are you doing in here?” His voice husky.

Yuki gulped, “I… was… just leaving.” He was quite sure that there was a blush on his cheeks. He had to get out before Kyo saw how hard he was.

Kyo eyed Yuki for a minute before he continued with his bath. At least, he would have continued if his eyes hadn't landed on Yuki's crotch and noticed the large bulge in his loose pants. Kyo's eyes widened considerably when his brain put two and two together as Yuki quickly left. `He was hard.' Kyo shook his head and finished up his bath, shrugging it off that Yuki must have been thinking about Tohru and came to relieve himself. He quickly rinsed off and dried before putting on his clothes, noticing a lack of underwear, and walked out of the bathroom. He saw Shigure walking up the stairs with Angel in his arms.

“Good. You're out. I was just about to come and get you.”

“Yeah, well, I need to get something out of my room that you conveniently `forgot' to get.”

“Whatever would that be?” Shigure asked, trying to play ignorant.

“You know what, pervert.” He said as walked into his room.

Shigure followed and closed the door. He sat Angel down and walked up behind Kyo. “Do you mean these?” He asked as he flashed a pair of Kyo's underwear in his face. “I didn't know you wore briefs as well as boxers. There's something decidedly… sinful about you wearing them.” Kyo growled at him. “I also found out that you like thongs. Very interesting undergarments you have. What's even worse is poor Tohru knows as well. Naughty, naughty kitten.” Kyo blushed horribly and snatched his underwear from Shigure and turned to face him. Shigure just smiled and made Kyo sit down.

Kyo sighed and laid out on his futon. `Damn. Now I don't even have enough energy to put on my underwear. Damn Shigure and his scheming ways.' He lightly scratched his stomach as he yawned, his eyes drooping close. He felt something in his hair and his eyes snapped open to see Shigure smiling at him.

“Go to sleep, Kyo. I'll come back to wake you for dinner if you're not up by then.” He said as he combed his fingers through his freshly washed hair.

Kyo closed his eyes again as Shigure continued to run his fingers through his hair, making him even more tired. “Ok.” He mumbled as he finally succumbed to blissful unconsciousness. Shigure left quietly and went to work on finishing his novel.
