Shigure drove silently, listening to the rain splash on the windshield. This wasn’t going to end well, both Kyo and Yuki were gone and Akito was furious. He had been demanding they be found immediatly and had practically every member of the family out to find them. Even he himself was searching for them, though he wasn't positive he would turn them in when he found them, not that he had any clue as to where they could possibly be.
Kyo growled at the woman over the desk at the hotel counter, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE'LL HAVE TO SHARE A ROOM?!" Yuki rolled his eyes, "just what she said, you stupid cat, we'll have to share a room..." With a gentle smile, he accepted the key and, taking Kyo's hand in his, pulled him away toward the elevator. His voice was soft, "shut up and deal with it, it's not like I want to room with you either", pushing the button sharply he sighed in relief adn let his gaze rest on Kyo's fingers. They were so elegant, alot like his own actually, but a little more masculine, a little stronger than his own fragile apendages. He could almost feel them holding onto his own fingers as he pictured them dancing together, Kyo holding onto him, spinning him and tugging him along with the music like the english.
"Would you go dancing with me?" Yuki asked unconciously, still visioning Kyo's fingers leading him gracefully along the floor. He looked up then, scanning Kyo's face silently, "would you?", he repeated, his lips barely forming the syllables as he spoke. For once, Yuki didn't see a scowl cross his companions features, no, this time it was a gentle smile, "sure", he replied almost inaudibly.
Kyo couldn't help but smile at the pretty face he found looking at him, pathetic eyes with lips slightly parted and puckered. He knew his word was almost deaf to the ear as he replied butit was all he could do not to break the moment. But his efforts were for naught since a second later the doors to the elevator opened adn a rush of people came in, pushing them out onto their floor. The orange-haired boy sighed, "c'mon let's get to our room", but he wasn't happy with what he found.
Yuki covered his ears as Kyo screeched when he saw their room, "ONE BED?!", he sighed, "must you overreact to everything?", he asked once Kyo had reduced to sputtering, "we'll have to sleep together, it's no big deal, we're both boys after all." But it was a big deal, and since they would simply have to cope, the silver-haired boy changed the subject, "there's a band in the lobby down stairs, come dancing with me. I won't ask much, just a reprized turkish waltz..." Offering his hand out to the other boy he gave a pretty smile when Kyo took it and lead him out, tucking their key safely into his pocket as they headed toward the elevator.
Shigure pulled into a local hotel, circling the parking lot for a moment before finding a parking spot near the lobby doors. He gave up for the night, he could continue tomarrow morning it was hopeless looking in the rain anyhow, they'd probably found somewhere dry to stay for the night. Pushing through the doors, a small crowd circled around the skylight caught his attention. The sound ot a chinese reprized turkish waltz began and he stepped over to watch, staring wide-eyed when he saw Kyo and Yuki in the middle, dancing together.They held hands, spinning Yuki shortly before Kyo pulled him in just as the drum beat started. Yuki gave Kyo a suprized look and searched his face before they both smiled and picked up with the strings section. Kyo led expertly, holding onto Yuki's hands as they moved around the circle. They looked, interestingly enough, like much any other couple, though it wasn't possible that they actually were a couple. All music except the beat died and Kyo pulled Yuki close, whispering something softly into his ear. Then they flew apart, Yuki spun, Kyo bowed and then came back together once again, returning to their fast waltz. Kyo spun Yuki out just once more and pulled him in as the crowd began to clap along with the beat. They stepped as the people around them clapped, faster and faster, then Yuki was dipped and all but the clapping stopped. Seconds later, he jerked up, turning his back against Kyo's front and they trip-stepped.
Yuki breathed hard as the song came to a fast paced end, speeding up faster and faster with them still moving along. Suddenly he felt Kyo's hand cup his neck and jaw, forcing him to look back at him as the song ended redundantly. Applauds came then, and coins littering the floor at their feet, but neither boy moved, Yuki stared up at Kyo with livid eye's. Suddenly something hit Kyo in the forehead and he groaned, holding his hand over the small injury. Jumping up sharply he scanned the surroundings for the attacker, his body went rigid and Yuki looked to see Shigure watching them boredly. He froze, clutching Kyo's hand tightly, not letting go for anything in the world.
"Very nice composition", Shigure said blankly, refering to the dance he had witnessed only seconds before. Both boys said nothing, they simply stood there staring at the floor as though waiting to be taken to jail. Shigure sighed, his voice was bored, "I'm not going to take you home...", they looked at him puzzled and he added, "why should I turn you in? What good would come out of it? You both would be locked away forever for your offenses, Kyo, for just existing..." Kyo's expression turned to a prudent glare, "YOU'RE SLEEPING ON THE FLOOR!", Yuki sighed and rolled his eyes before gently tugging on Kyo's arm and asking for the key to their. He didn't get it however, instead Kyo turned and pulled him to the elevator, Shigure fallowing in tow. Something seemed slightly different than normal about the two, they seemed just a little more tollerant of the other, almost like they needed the other's company. That wasn't possible however, the cat and the rat couldn't fall in love; not with eachother atleast. The doors to the elevator opened and yet another rush of people erupted from it's mouth; and again they were pushed out onto their floor, Kyo holding Yuki's elbow so that the silver-haired boy didn't fall. They made their way to the door of their room in silence, Kyo opened it and Yuki smiled to see everything as they had left it. His bag was on the bed, Kyo's was on the floor by the bathroom wall, right where he threw it in his distraction over the fact that there was only one bed. Without hesitation, Yuki walked in and flopped down on that single bed adn groaned, it had been a long day, a hell of a lot longer than almost any other in his life. He felt the mattress dip down and knew that Kyo had just flopped by his head, he looked up and sure enough, there was Kyo's bared stomach as he lay with his feet off the bed and his forearm resting over his eyes. His voice sounded angry, yet somehow, Yuki knew it was feigned, "damn rat, you made me tired", moving so his head rested on his companions belly, Yuki rolled onto his back.
"You didn't have to say yes to going with me, I'm sure someone would've danced with me if you didn't want to." Shigure watched them a bored look on his face, "you two seem unusually friendly...", Yuki stared at the ceiling, "we figure it's better to cooperate on this trip than to fight...fighting would only hinder us." The sohma doctor ran his fingers through his hair, "can I ask where you're headed?" Yuki gave a cloudy smile, "Kyo said we can go to America", Kyo huffed, "only because it's like the only country Akito doesn't have allies in." Yuki giggled slightly, Kyo tried too hard to be mean, though sometimes it was quite clear he was having fun. He wondered why he took such lengths to hide his feelings from the world around him. Rolling slightly, he opened his mouth to ask him but found the handsome cat boy asleep, calm and quiet, his breathing regulated. Shigure's voice was soft, "put him to bed, I'll check into a room them I'll get you boys some food, I'm sure you're starving." Giving a half nod, Yuki sat up and waatched him go, closing the door behind him, he was almost relieved to be alone with Kyo once again, he hated the way Shigure examined everything. Turning back to the bed, he gently nudged Kyo's cheek, when he didn't respond he moved to shaking him, he didn't respond once again. Yuki huffed slightly, "Oh for the love of-", without a hint of remorse he pushed Kyo face first off the bed, ignoring the cat boy's cursing once he'd gotten back up.
"WHAT THE HELL'D YOU DO THAT FOR?!", Kyo demanded as he sat up, giving his cousin a deadly glare, Yuki just brushed it off, "I tried to be nice about it, you just sleep too fucking deeply...", sitting down on the edge of the bed, he placed his head in his hands.
"Hey, Yuki, are you okay?" Kyo asked as a pang of guilt and worry ran through him, crawling over to him, he sat on his knees and tugged the rat's palms down to see him start crying. He got worried, "what...I...Yuki...you better not say this is my fault!", pulling him down Kyo encased the other boy in a gentle hug, slightly suprized that Yuki didn't fight him, "Oh Yuki...", he said softly. Yuki started to shudder, his body convulsing with each of his sobs, "what have we gotten ourselves into, Kyo?", he wailed softly into the orange-haired boy's chest, Kyo smiled gently and kissed Yuki's head so slightly that you might not have known it was a kiss, "one hell of a mess...", he whispered gently in his companions ear, "one hell of a mess..." A knock on the door dragged Yuki away and Kyo burried his nose into the mattress, pretending that the moment between them had never happened. He could hear Shigure at the door, asking what Yuki wanted for dinner and he almost chuckled as the rat boy gave out all of Kyo's faovrites before offering up two of his own. It was really the first time Yuki had actually thought distinctly about him, Kyo smiled, some part of him just wanted to kiss the silver-haired boy's cheek and make him smile for being so sweet. And when he heard the door close and saw Yuki lean against the wall, he forced down the urge to hop up and do so. Yuki's voice was calm, "get up...", Kyo chuckled and slowly crawled up from beside the bed. There he stood, his arms crossed, lips perked in a light smile and his hair flustered over his face, Kyo couldn't help but smirk. Standing up, he reached out and wrapped his fist gently around Yuki's arm, throwing him to the bed, a light smirk on his face. His voice was cool, "dance with me, Yuki", he said softly, clicking on an American CD and pulling his cousin up to him. He sang softly into Yuki's ear, sliding .is tongue over the other boy's jawbone, dragging a gasp into the rapturous music. Yuki latched his hands on Kyo's shoulders, his eye's half closing as he let the cat boy guide him down to the satin covered mattress. His hands left his old rival then as he rested on the bed, Kyo pressed his hands over Yuki's and drew them over his cousins head. He smiled softly, the little rat looked so scared beneath him, so fragile as he stood between his parted legs. Without a word, he kissed him, a deep, loving kiss; he smiled, "lost to me again, rat", he whispered poking Yuki smartly in the stomach. Yuki smiled, "I did it on purpose", he cooed, Kyo smirked and stood up fuly again before crossing the room to the window. Yuki watched him with a light smile, he said nothing, what could he say? That he'd actually wanted Kyo to touch him like that? To kiss him and dominate him and dominate him and abuse him just so he could come crawling back in his own juices to let him do it to him again? No. Kyo's voice was gentle, "you don't have to take it personally, it was just one moment in life...", he turned ack, Yuki was smiling, his eyes gentle, his lips moist, Kyo smiled back, it was a deal, a silent contract sealed within that one kiss.
