“Shit, why the hell do I always have to mess everything up? I shouldn’t have touched him. Damnit!” Kyou yelled as he entered the house, calling out to Yuki as he took his coat off. “Yuki, are you here?!” No answer. Certainty Yuki couldn’t be sleeping now right? No, of course not. Kyou sighed and walked up to Yuki’s room, knocking on his door lightly, standing, and anxiously awaiting for a response from the rat.

Yuki looked up at the door. No, he couldn’t open it. He wouldn’t. Whenever they were together, something always interrupted them. Maybe it was wrong, maybe they really weren’t meant to be. Maybe Akito /was/ right. Maybe the rat and cat should just stay enemies. Maybe they should just hate eachother.

“Yuki. Please open the door.” Kyou’s voice echoed throughout the empty house. Yuki turned away, and brought his knees up to his chest, hugging them.

He didn’t want to hate Kyou anymore, he didn’t want to fight him. But, it was always like that. In every story, and in the zodiac. The rat tricked the cat, and they became enemies. But he never asked to be cursed, he never asked to be the rat! He hated it, he hated the curse more then anything! What he wanted more then anything at all was to be normal.

He certainty didn’t want to be the rat. The rat was supposed to be the ‘special one’ the one who greeted God first. But he sure as hell wasn’t treated ‘special’. Being tortured by Akito his entire life was hell. Yuki reached out to his nightstand and grabbed the Christmas gift that Kyou gave him. “Why can’t things just be as easy as it used to be?” Yuki hugged the picture to his chest.

Kyou knocked again. “Yuki, I’m sorry. I honestly am. I’m not Akito, and I would never hurt you like he did. That’s why I stopped myself right away.” Kyou sighed sadly. ‘Please answer Yuki, I want to be with you.’ Kyou thought to himself, and gasped. Realization hitting him.

Did he really just think that? Did he truly want to be with Yuki? The rat? His most hated enemy? The boy, that, he thought ruined his life? Yeah, he did. He really did.

“Yuki, please! Don’t make me break this door down!” Kyou yelled. He had to see Yuki, to make sure he was ok. Yuki looked at the door. Should he really let Kyou in? He sighed and stood up, unlocking the door before heading back to his bed.
Kyou opened the door right away, practically jumping on Yuki. “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry Yuki.” Kyou said as he pulled the boy into his arms. Yuki rested his face on Kyou’s chest, trying his best not to cry.
He was confused, so confused. These new feelings, they were harsh.

Once upon a time, he loved Kyou more then anything, they were so close, but they were torn apart by their so called ‘family’.

And now, after hating him for so long, this love for him was returning.

“Kyou, maybe, maybe we should go on hating eachother. It’s just so wrong, the rat and cat have hated eachother in the past. It’s been like that since the Sohma family got this curse. So maybe, it is wrong. Maybe we are meant to hate eachother.” Yuki said, pulling himself away from Kyou. He didn’t want this, he wanted to be with Kyou. But he knew it was wrong, and there would be no support from anyone. He already knew Akito wouldn’t allow it. Kagura would probably kill them, and who knows what everyone else would think.
“Yuki, I don’t want to go back to hating you, because the truth is, I don’t hate you.” Kyou said, running his hand through Yuki’s hair, it was so soft.

“No.” Yuki whispered, pulling away.

“No!” Yuki repeated again, this time much louder. Kyou looked at him. Why was he acting this way? “Go away! Leave me alone you stupid cat! I hate you! Leave me alone!” Yuki yelled, starring at Kyou. He wouldn’t cry, he had to give Kyou the impression that he did in fact, hate him.
“Yuki-” Kyou tried to talk, but Yuki kept yelling. “I hate you! Get out of my room!” Yuki yelled again. “Fine you damn rat! And just for the record, I hate you too!” Kyou yelled, slamming the door behind him. Yes, maybe this was wrong. It just wasn’t meant to be. It wasn’t meant to be.. Not meant to be...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“It seems as though the disgusting cat and my precious rat are getting close. Well, I can’t allow that now can I? Prepare yourself for the worst Yuki....”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Shit. Maybe this is wrong. All the cats and rats in the past hated eachother. It’s been like that, because we’ve been told stories. But, then again, I never knew anything about the previous rat and cat...I wonder why? Not like it matters. Nothing matters to me anymore. And to think, in exactly 5 months and 12 days, I’ll be locked up for the rest of my life. And Yuki won’t have to worry about how ‘Wrong’ this is.
