Chapter 3. Goodmorning Beautiful

 

Shigure opened the door silently, half juggling about four boxes of food and kicking the door shut once he was inside, it was silent in the room, neither of the boys was in sight. Placing the boxes on the table, he peeked into the bedroom and found them both curled up on the bed, Kyo actually had his head on the pillow, while Yuki was curled up about a foot lower, his fingers clutching Kyo's shirt tails. Shigure smiled gently, now he was positive something was different as he watched Yuki unconciously cuddle closer to his cousin, pushing his nose against Kyo's wrist then becoming calm once again. Shigure suddenly wished he had a camera on him, this was certainly a Kodak moment! But sadly he didn't, so he left the boys alone, exiting their room and locking the door behind him, leaving the boxes of food there for them to find in the morning.

 

~The Next Morning~

Kyo moved to roll over slightly but couldn't since something rather heavy was laying on his chest, he sighed, he and Yuki had probably fallen asleep while waiting for Shigure to come back with food since he didn't remember Shigure ever coming in. Giving a sigh he opened his eyes to see what was on his stomach, what he saw made him smile. Yuki lay there his head on Kyo's ribs, his hair was astray over his face and Kyo's shirt, his face was turned down slightly, a good angle for him. His lips were puckered and pink and his eyes were closed, Kyo wondered slightly if this was actually some angel and not really his silver-haired cousin after all, but he dismissed that quickly enough. Yuki moaned lightly and lolled a bit before opening his eyes just a little and smiled, Kyo smirked lightly, "goodmorning...", he said it so softly that even a pin dropping would've drowned it out. Yuki giggled, "morning...", he whispered before pulling himself up and crawling off of the cat boy beneath him. There was boxes of food on the table, perhaps Shigure had stopped by last night, they had just been asleep at the time...

Feeling the bed rise up suddenly, Kyo knew that Yuki had gotten off of it, he pouted slightly but stopped when Yuki told him to 'get up and eat some food, they were all his favorites after all...' Kyo returned to pouting, geez Yuki was no fun in the morning, he was all so serious and grumpy, ofcourse Kyo himself was grumpy most of the time, but it just didn't seem right coming from Yuki. Crawling out from under the sheets, he stood up, grabbing his bag and snaking into the bathroom unnoticed to get dressed. He sighed, tugging off his pants and underpants and kneeling down to dig in his bag for clean ones, this was a little strange, running away with his cousin who he'd hated since he was born, but if it saved him, he would do it. Pulling out what he sought, the cat boy stood and stretched, his shirt coming up to bare both his privates and his midrift, yawning widely and reaching toward the ceiling, hearing his back pop as he did. Then he heard it, the 'clack' of the door opening, and turned sharply to see Yuki there, flushed pink and staring at him, or rather at the area between Kyo's legs, backing out of the room, his voice was halting, "I-I'm...Sorry!", he slammed the door shut sharply. Dragging on a pair of jeans Kyo pushed out of the bathroom to find Yuki sitting on the bed, his eye's fixated on the floor and refusing to look up at all. His voice was quiet, "I- I didn't mean- I-", Kyo smiled, "don't worry about it, we're both boys after all...", Yuki nodded, yeah, they were both boys...but that didn't stop the deep blush that overtook Yuki's cheeks as he thought about it, about what he'd just seen. He covered his mouth with his hand, "y-yes...", a laugh from Kyo, drew his gaze up and he saw the cat boy staring at the ceiling, without a word, he turned away and went into the kitchen section of the hotel room. Yuki half turned and shoved his face into the mattress, this felt so strange, everything Kyo did envoked this strangely warm feeling inside of him. It was nothing like what he felt for Honda-san, no, it was completely different, it wasn't comfortable, it was desperate, hungry and longing. Rubbing his nose into the semi-firm surface, he could still smell Kyo's scent in the bedcoverings, the warm feeling in his stomach increased sharply and somehow he couldn't stop his tongue from darting out in an attempt to taste the cat boy. Sadly, he met only the fabric of the sheets that covered the bed.

"Are you going to lay there all day? We do have to get going soon or we'll get caught...", Yuki jumped at the sound of Kyo's voice and turned to see the cat boy standing against the doorframe, munching out of a carry-out box with chopsticks. He almost laughed out loud, there was a dribble of shrimp and soumen leading down from Kyo's lips, down his chin. He was swallowing the urge to stand up and remove it with his tongue when Kyo gave him a bewildered look that sent the poor rat into a desperatly avoided giggle fit and he pushed his nose down into the feathery comforetor, trying to stifle it.

"What's so funny?!", Kyo demanded through another mouthful of soumen, Yuki sat up, half swallowing another round of giggles, "n-nothing...", he replied, choking on a laugh. Kyo glared, "what is it?!", he demanded loudly. Yuki giggled rapturously, "you're-you're just so cute!", a second after the words left his mouth, his hands flew up and covered his lips. He had NOT just said that! Kyo gave him a strange look, "'cute' eh? I'll have to fix that, won't I?", again Yuki began to laugh, knowing he probably looked insane from Kyo's point of view.

'No, don't fix it, I like you this way...', he thought with a smile, glad that his cousin couldn't read minds, because a slew of uninvited pictures were filtering in. He pushed them away and got up to go into the kitchen, grabbing a take out carrier of food and a pair of chopsticks and setting to work eating before they had to go. Kyo was right, if they stayed here much longer they were going to get caught, and he knew the concequences wouldn't be pretty, but for him they'd be mild compared to what Kyo would get.

About a half hour later they were up and almost ready to leave, Kyo was standing outside the bathroom door as Yuki changed his clothes, he'd forgotten to pack his so he'd been forced to wear one of Kyo's outfits. God, he was taking forever! He'd been in there about 20 minutes already and Kyo wasn't exactly patient, he was just aout to kick the door open when a soft knock came from inside it. Then the knob turned and it left it's frame for the first time in 20 long minutes.

"I feel stupid...", Yuki whined softly as he stepped out from behind the door in a black skin tight top and black jeans with studded belts, Kyo hadn't even thought about it when he'd grabbed the combination from his bag, but it was clear that he'd made a perfect choice. Kyo sighed, "you don't look stupid...", he consoled, lord the rat boy sounded like a girl, whineing like that about how he looked, didn't he know he looked perfect nearly all of the time?!

"What're you staring at?", Yuki asked cautiously, snapping Kyo out of the thoughts that had started to engulf him, arousing him to no end. His voice was soft, "nothing...", turning away he began to walk out then stopped after only 3 or 4 steps, "hey Yuki? What is your most desperate wish?" Yuki watched him for a moment, his eye's carressing over Kyo's elegant features, "I don't know...I've never really thought about it before...why?" A soft smile infected Kyo's thin lips, "nevermind...just forget I asked, it was stupid anyway...", collecting his bag on his shoulder, he walked out, Yuki fallowing close behind him. Kyo's voice caught him off guard when he stepped through the doorway and into the almost empty hall, it was a soft voice, almost pitiful coming from the boy, "I have a wish, one that I want so desperatly that every day that goes by with it unfulfilled a little piece of me dies..." Yuki watched the cat boy for a long moment, "what could you wish for that badly?", Kyo's voice cracked as he answered, "I want love. Someone to care about, to give me reason for being here, Tohru told me once that there was a reason that everyone was born...I want to find the person that will become my reason for living..." A small tear dripped down the orange haired boy's cheek and before he knew what was happening Yuki had dropped his bag and was holding onto his ribs tightly. Soft tears were falling down the rat's sallow cheeks when he looked down at him, Yuki hiccupped slightly, "I'm going to get you there Kyo... I'll die before I let them have you again. Even the cat is human, even the cat has dreams that could be realized...I'll get you to America, I'll protect you...I told you that before, didn't I?" Kyo smiled and hugged Yuki close to him, kissing the very top of his grey head as he felt unbidden tears start down his own cheeks, "yeah...yeah, you did... C'mon, let's go..." Picking the rat boy up with him as he stood, he smiled and grabbed both of their bags, handing one to Yuki and setting off toward the stairs, they were off...though they didn't know it yet, they wouldn't get very far before the world caught up with them...

 

Akito sat by the window of his room silently, it was silent, 2 days had passed and still Yuki and Kyo had yet to be found, this was getting rediculous, why would the rat help the cat in the first place? He was deeply entertaining this thought when the phone rang and he picked it up, pressing it to his ear, "hello?"

"Good morning Akito-sama...", Akito smiled, "Ah, Shigure...you have news for me I assume?" Shigure chuckled, "well, you're a mind reader Akito-sama... I attained their destination...would you to hear it?" Akito smirked, "yes..."

Hatori walked quietly down the halls of the Sohma family main house, opening the doors to Akito's room, he saw him hang up the phone, a soft smile resting on the head of the family's lips. Akito's voice was soft, "they're going to America...", a laugh broke into Akito's form, "something's different with them, the rat and the cat shouldn't get along, they shouldn't be able to run away with one another... I'm going to find out just what is going on and then they are going to pay for all the trouble they are causing me... Shut them down!"

 

Kyo sat quietly on the curb outside the bank, this wasn't good, it had been nearly an hour since Yuki had gone in to withdraw the money in their accounts and he still wasn't back yet. Could Akito have collapsed the accounts already? Knowing the head of the family, it was definatly possile, he had so many people working for him, he'd probably known they were gone the minute they'd left. He sighed, was this trip going to be for nothing? He was probably getting Yuki into a ton of trouble for helping him escape, but Yuki had done it without his incentive, hadn't he? Hearing the door open behind him, he turned, still arguing with himself, to see Yuki come out looking like Akito had been the teller in the bank, his voice was soft, almost inaudible, "we- we're never going to make it..." Falling to his knees, he dropped himself against Kyo's chest, burrying his nose deep into the cat boy's ribs, Kyo jumped, "what?! What do you mean we're never going to make it? Yuki? Yuki can you hear me? Yuki, are you listening?!" Kyo was about to push the silver haired boy off of him when he felt him shudder and a soft choking noise escaped through his mouth, he peered down at his cousin cautiously, "Yuki...?" Yuki shook again, he was sobbing, "h-he shut them down! Aki-Akito collapsed our accounts and returned all of the money to the family's account" Pulling back he felt his tears chill in the cool air, Kyo's face was soft, however, his voice was softer, "it's okay, Yuki, we'll figure something out...don't cry okay?..." Kyo was suprized at the words that came out of his mouth; that face had been so pitiful, so charmingly sad and adorable, he'd had to console him. Yuki's eye's were swollen from crying, his nose and cheeks were pink and his mouth hung open, without really thinking about it, Kyo leaned down and barely touched his lips to his cousin's. It wasn't a kiss, it wasn't not a kiss, it was a touch, a pillowy soft brush of lips to lips, Yuki clutched to Kyo tightly, holding the cloth of his shirt desperatly as he leaned up slowly in attempt to give his cousin a real kiss. Kyo lifted away just as slowly, not discouraging the rat boy, but not doing what he wanted either... Then Yuki stopped, realizing what he was asking for and replacing himself flat on his feet rather than on his tip toes as he had been, that had not just happened, god everything was going wrong with him today, first what he said this morning and now this. Turning away, he sat down on the curb, "god, there's something wrong with me!", he moaned softly, pushing his face into his hands and listening as Kyo sat down beside him. He was laughing, that bastard was laughing as Yuki fough with himself, he was enjoying his pain, his confusion. Pulling his head up he glared sharply at the orange haired boy who was chuckling lightly, "what is so funny?!", he demanded, watching his cousin closely as he continued to giggle for a second then smile widely once he'd finished. His voice was light as his forehead pressed to Yuki's, "you worry too much, rat. If you're going to kiss me, then just do it, I'm not going to stop you..." Yuki swallowed hard, reaching up and running his fingers through Kyo's soft orange hair, his voice was soft, "I just- What's wrong with me? It's as though all I think about anymore..." Fading slighlty, he pillowed his lips gently against Kyo's mouth and gave a sigh as all of the pieces of himself fell back to where they were supposed to be.

Kyo smirked, he'd thought so, Yuki was so easy to read, the rat wore almost everything on his sleeves, though that was one of the things that attracted him so much. He'd always wondered what it would feel like if he were ever able to kiss him, just once, just enough to taste it before he was locked away from the world. Wraping his arms tightly around the rat boy's waist, Kyo lifted Yuki up ever so slightly before snaking his tongue out shyly and touching his cousin's closed lips. Suddenly, Yuki tore back, panting as his cloudy grey eye's watched Kyo bearingly and his cheeks flushed a powdery pinkish color. Kyo began to laugh, chuckling harder and harder, unable to stop himself as he felt a light blush over take him. He giggled harder as an embarassed glare crossed Yuki's features and the rat boy yelped slightly, "what're you laughing at?!", he demanded dragging Kyo into a semi composed state. A light smile painted the cat's lips as he replied, "only at how long I've wanted to do that to you...", he began laughing again when Yuki's face seeped into total redness. Leaning over, Kyo rested his weight on his hand and pushed his mouth over Yuki's again, this time gently, slowly drawing out the sweet romance of the kiss before pulling back. Yuki growled, "stop doing that!", he demanded promptly, "we're on the street, it wasn't right to do it the first time!", Kyo laughed out loud, collapsing half way so that his head fell and his arms rested on his knees. Yuki growled, rising onto his knees and raising his fist in threat, "And stop laughing at me!"

"Yuki, we need a little fun in our lives, you just said we're flat broke, do you want to get depressed?", Kyo asked lightly, watching as the rat boy sat back down on the pavement slowly, the anger fading slowly from his face.

"We're not going to get anywhere being depressed! It's like fighting, it'll only hinder us...", Kyo noted softly, smiling gently at Yuki as he spoke, "now, what are we going to do about money?" Yuki thought about this for a moment, tapping his chin in thought like he usually did, "well...we could dance for money...", Kyo froze as an image of him dressed as a monkey and dancing some cheesy hopped up dance while people threw coins at him, "are you sure we want to degrade ourselves like that?" Yuki giggled, "dancing like we did yesterday is not degrading! And Shigure said we did good...", Kyo rolled his eye's, "that doesn't matter, Shigure is an air head...", Yuki began to laugh, "yeah I suppose he is..." Kyo smiled, "I suppose it wouldn't be all that bad...you're a terrific partner..." Good, it was settled, standing up, Yuki began to stretch, yawning widely before he turned and took a step forward, "oh, by the way...?" Kyo looked up expectantly as Yuki gave a cute smile, "you're terrably handsome...when you're naked...", Kyo's jaw dropped and in an instant he was up and chasing the pretty little rat boy down the street, yelling playful threats as he raced at his cousin's heels. Swearing to Kami himself that if he caught the him he would kill him, whether or not he could bring himself to really kill him was beside the point, right now, he was going to be lucky if Kyo didn't ravish him when he got ahold of his cousin. Yuki laughed playfully as he looked back every now and again to see Kyo there, right behind him, it was nice just to be able to play with someone for once. He'd never had anyone to play with, even when he was little, he remembered when he'd first met Kyo 'you two will forever hate eachother', that's what Akito had told them. Was it simply ironicy that had pulled them so very close? In just the last two days things had happened that Yuki wouldn't have thought possible, things that he'd never imagined the orange haired boy would do had been done, and he'd found himself in the very middle of it all.

 

Rin was silent as she watched Kyo chase Yuki out of sight, had that really happened? Had Yuki just kissed Kyo then Kyo kissed him back? No, no, Yuki and Kyo were the cat and the rat, they hated eachother, they didn't kiss eachother! But...Rin turned toward the direction in which they'd run, but they just had, they'd just willingly given themselves to eachother. It wasn't like they'd had sex, they were too smart for that, just this kiss was going to upset Akito, sex would've gotten them both in so deep that neither of them would ever get out. Yet, Yuki had said something funny that had prevoked Kyo to chase him, he'd said 'you're terrably handsome...when you're naked...', did that mean that they'd already committed? No, if they'd already done it then Kyo wouldn't have reacted as he had, he wouldn't have gotten embarassed about the thought of Yuki seeing him naked and calling him handsome about it. But perhaps they were considering it...no...Yuki didn't work that way, he was slow when it came to love, she was suprized that he'd let Kyo kiss him after only 2 days... Opening her phone she called Gure-nii's house smiling only a little when Haru picked up, she hadn't thought he'd be there. Her voice was soft, "Haru? I want to ask you something about Kyo and Yuki...", she asked and waited for him to answer, after all he knew the most about love and human emotions, he'd be able to tell you simply on a person's reaction...

"If that really just happened then this has been going on for more than 2 days...", Rin nodded though she knew that Hatsuharu couldn't see it, her voice was soft, "do you think that this could be only the tip of the ice burge?" She heard him smile then said softly, "if this is Yuki and Kyo we're talking about then this has been going on since they both came to live with Sensei, 8 years ago...Neither of them are very good with emotions, the only thing that they can really hold onto is one another since everyone else in the world lets them down repeatedly, but Yuki has never let Kyo drop, he's never challenged him then stepped out of it giving a false sence of pride. Kyo too, he's always paid attention to Yuki, Yuki know's that he's always at the forefront of Kyo's mind, true it wasn't nessecarily romantic intentions but it was attention none the less..." Rin smiled, so it had only been a matter of time before this happened...hanging up the phone, she turned and raced down the street, chasing after the boys she'd seen only moments before, she had to get to them, she had to help them. But what could she do? Smiling she gave a laugh, of course, the only thing she had that they needed...money! Now all she had to do was find them...

 

 

~Yes! Chapter 3 is finished, and what a chapter it is!

The apocolipse is coming! Sakatsuki didn't have sex in her story!!!' they said the same thing about Valentine's day secret too *sweatdroplet* maybe I'm getting better after all...I can build a story on more than sex...ofcourse there are some of my stories that are spoilers for all of you out there whom read my work faithfully (I get e-mail and presents from you, thankyou ^.^;;) that are nothing BUT sex...I have fun writing... Ah well, that is all the time I have for today, see you soon! um yeah My signature is in Terminal font on the actual document...it looks better...if you don't have Terminal font onyour computer just type the word Terminal where the names of the font you're using apear on the screen of your typing program (WordPad, Microsoft Word, etc.)~
