ALL HAIL THE PARENTAL CONTROLS BEING TEMPORARILY DOWN. All right, it's time for some good news/bad news- the good news being that the chapter is finally up, but the bad news being that my parental controls are back up so I probably won't be able to post another chapter for quite some time. I am re-posting this chapter because I saw some flaws (like the fact that the first words to the sentences were being cut out and it was all jammed together so I'm sorry for any confusion. IF YOU WISH FOR THE FULL CHAPTER, BECAUSE MY COMP IS A LOAD OF CRAP AND WON'T LET ME MAKE MUCH NEEDED ALTERATIONS, JUST E-MAIL ME AND I WILL SEND IT TO YOU AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.) So don't be like "You didn't put up any more?! I hate you for making me think you did!!!" And then you may try to come murder me which would just cut into my sleeping time.


And Then They... Episode: III: Trial and Error


A sliver-haired male lounged in front of the television sighing as he flipped through the endless amount of nothing that was on. It was a long and extremely boring Monday afternoon; Shigure was at the publicist's, no doubt trying to find an escape route as Mii ranted about the deadlines which were near. Hatori was dozing on the couch, still exhausted after his and Kyou's little tumble; Ayame couldn't blame him, Hatsuharu had said before that the cat was energy-draining and apparently he was right.


Sighing again, he ran a hand through his long tresses. "And with Yuki gone, that just leaves me and the others." He glanced out the open door, seeing the cow and cat happily splashing each other in the lake. [1] It was a relatively hot day for nearly the beginning of October and Ayame was very pleased; the cold tended to make him transform. It was a very splendid thing that his vacation was during such nice weather, however fluctuating it might have been. How he ever managed to get a week off, he'll never know. "...They look like they're having fun."


Another sigh fluttered from his lips as he recalled the night before.


~ The snake was just about to settle down for the evening when a sulking Zodiac member came clamoring down the stairs and into the kitchen. Heading straight for the refrigerator, the cat grabbed the nearest milk carton and quickly down the entire contents. The white drink above his upper lip was very apparent against his dark skin and quite cute, Ayame decided- especially since Kyou did not seem to notice it and went about scratching his head with the top of his wrist- much like a cat.


Ayame couldn't very well likely just sit back and giggle at him, for the cat would only get angry. So, being the kind soul he was, he walked straight up to Kyou and promptly licked the sweet drink off. Kyou doubled over, eyes wide with horror, and scampered back up the stairs. Ayame merely smiled and sat back down.


"I'll have you by tomorrow, I promise.... Just like Hatori."~


~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*


A pale body was dunked, limbs flailing madly before he finally emerged, white and black hair soaked, skin dripping and glistening in the sunlight. (With and image like that you could die pretty happy. ^ ~) Another wet male laughed loudly, holding his stomach- only to be dunked as well. Orange hair clung to his face as he stood and wiped his eyes. As he blinked his crimson orbs open, he was tackled by the younger teen, falling back with an 'Omph!' and submerged to his collarbone. He glared daggers at the cow but then having all thoughts shot to death (Kind of violent, huh?) As a pair of pale, pastel pink lips pressed against his. Sitting up, he got into better position, wrapping his toned arms around a pale back as more arms came to wrap around his neck and pull him closer.


He moaned into the kiss, Hatsuharu's tongue drawing up to tease his lips. Deciding he would be the dominant kisser, he clamped shut his teeth, fangs barring entrance to his candy-tasting mouth. He had to laugh to himself when he heard a loud whine and after a few moments he finally parted his teeth to allow entrance.


Hatsuharu gave a very audible sigh of relief and felt the grip on his waist tighten; he was beginning to think about giving up. His tongue pressed in and was immediately greeted by a very excited appendage. Titling his head right, they fought fiercely- both beginning to pant as hands wandered over wet, muscular bodies.


The bulges in both pairs of swim trunks were quite noticeable and the cat quickly pulled away.


Gray eyes opened carefully and stared into the crimsons of his lover. Managing to catch his breath, he asked, "What's wrong?"


The cat look away as if he didn't want to be seen. "I..."


"Can't?" suggested the cow.


Shaking his head, he responded, "No, it's just that I..."


"Slept with Hatori?"


The older Sohma's eyes widened and were instantly locked on his. "...How did you...?"


Shrugging, it was Hatsuharu's turn to look away, gazing at the house. "I saw Hatori sleeping on the couch; he reeked of sex, and of you." His view returned to the male who was looking away again.


"Are you...mad?"


The younger male smiled warmly as he saw a tear brimming the orange-haired teen's eye- Kyou was truly worried the he might break up with him. "..Well, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't at first; I had even walked around town for three hours, Black no less."


"That's why you came back late."


"Yeah, but I'm not anymore. I can't always be here to fulfill certain 'needs' and it's better if you want it too because...bad things can happen if you don't."


Kyou noticed the glazed look in his normally swarthy eyes. "What kind of things?"


The younger male looked away. "...The kind of things happened between me and Shigure." [2]


Bronze hands cupped his face and forced him to look into concerned orbs. "That's not going to happen to you again."


The white and black haired fourteen-year-old cupped his face as well and smiled softly. "It's not going to happen to you ever, I promise."


Bringing his hands down, Kyou softly kissed his boyfriend on the cheek and made a move to swim across the lake.


"Where are you going?"


"I'm tired, plus I think I need a shower- a cold one."


"Whatever, I'll probably be gone by the time you're out. I have to go with Momiji back to Rin's; she stole my watch."


"All right, I'll see you later then..... Love you." He mumbled that last part.


Hatsuharu smiled again and called out. "LOVE YOU TOO, KYOU KYOU-CHAN!!"


"Damn cow."


~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*


Ayame was still continuing his sighing from his perch on the table, as the very wet, very tan, very delicious looking Kyou walked through the room. With those trunks soak, Ayame could very clearly see the firm curve of his buttocks- that alone almost making him drool.


'Get a hold of yourself, Ayame Sohma! You're lusting after your cousin for goodness' sake! Althooooough, it's not as if you haven't been lusting after Hatori and Shigure for years, and those shorts just make him look so sexy! All right, calm down; you're beginning to breath heavy.'


"What the hell you pantin' about?" That got the snake's attention and he instantaneously stopped breathing all together. Kyou watched as the snake flopped back, gasping loudly and fanning his face. Kyou walked over and plucked him from the ground, patting his back while the snake regained air. Ayame managed to stop gasping like a fish out of water, but when he noticed the close proximity, he started back up. "Damn it! Calm down! What's got you so worked up?" Finally deciding that he was a lost cause, he let go and went to the door. "I'm gonna go take a shower; I'll leave you to your hyperventilating."


The moment he left, Ayame's condition died and he sat straight, dusting himself off.


"Shigure really does need to learn to clean for himself; if Tohru's going to be gone all week then SOMEONE needs to clean and it certainly won't be me."


The sound of water running upstairs called his attention and he dared a glance the near comatose doctor on the couch. "Well then, if he was THAT much fun- maybe I should take a ride myself..." And so, he proceeded up the stairs.


Stalking down the hall, he came upon the unlocked bathroom door. (The only reason it being unlocked because Shigure had disabled it ever since Yuki and Kyou began living there.) The air was humid, indicating the temperature of the water was quite hot. He quietly crept over to the shower curtain and drew it back slightly, yet far enough to get a good look. His left hand fumbled with the small container in his pocket, trying to open it without making a sound. It seemed he was successful and one blue pill was currently in his hand.


The cat's profile shown brilliantly, hands running through silken wet locks as the water cascaded down his godlike muscles, the light from the open window making them glisten. His eyes were closed as he felt the hot flood pour on his slender frame- Kyou had always been one to take long showers. It was a wonder Ayame hadn't transformed right then- nude, sexy males tended to make him transform as well.


Ayame soon rid himself of his clothes and ever so silently slipped into the shower. He could smell the cat, and it was intoxicating. He slipped one arm around his waist and covered his mouth with the others. Kyou's body went steel tight and he gasped behind the hand. Ayame used that moment to press the pill into his mouth; Kyou swallowed by instinct. (Poor poor Kyou.)


"Shhhh, don't scream- you'll wake Ha'ri." His free hand went to brush against the sensitive nipples, feeling them harden under sensation. "You're very responsive, you know that?" He felt a tongue run over his palm and his initial thought was to rub it over Kyou's face- a trick he learned from Shigure back when they were children- but he decided to forgo that when he realized that behind that smooth tongue were deep moans, his fingers never once leaving Kyou's chest.


'Seems as though the pill is working. Let's give a hand to Shigure'

Ayame pressed his pale, naked form to the orange-haired teen's backside. "Kyou-kun, Haru and Ha'ri need to learn to share." His teeth grazingly (<not a real word) nibbled on Kyou's right ear and his hands moved to nether regions. "Let me show you why the snake slithers..."


[A/N More cliffhangers, if you can really call them that.
(1) I don't actually think there is a lake there, but just go with me on this.
(2) Here's the gist of it: (And these is purely my thoughts to help keep the story together.) Zodiac members go into an annual heat; Shigure's, Yuki's, Hatori's, Hatsuharu's, Ayame's, and someone else I'm not going to mention right now, theirs is in September while Kyou's is in October. Although, it seems as though I'm making it to where Kyou is in heat as well. Oh well! Back to what I was talking about.... Urges can become so strong that one is willing to take any measurements to ensure their needs be fulfilled. Hatusharu was referring to a time when he was about eleven- he had the unfortunate luck to be Shigure while he was in heat. Hatsuharu was only starting to develop a crush for Kyou and was getting over liking Yuki. Shigure's urges became too strong and with no one else around, he had to settle for the young cow. Hatsuharu was raped by a not-aware Shigure. (Once again, this is just for story detail!)

What's going to happen to our sexy feline? Read to find out. Next episode: Tic Tac Toe, Three In a Row, Ayame's Hot and Heavy With a Wet Kyou.... See ya soon.]
