Fruits Basket Fan Fiction ❯ Could you love me? ❯ Speeding Up The Process ( Chapter 4 )

 

~Yeah I think that Rin is just there for monetarial reasons, perhaps I'll give her a higher motive later in the story, but for now, that's about all she's there for. I think that I'll bring Haru into this too...maybe I'll advance the understanding between those two...I don't know...~

Chapter 4. Speeding up the process

 

Kyo walked silently down the sidewalk as people he passed stared, he really had run Yuki to exhaustion and now the pretty rat boy was riding, sound asleep, on his back. It really was suprizing how light he was, he was so skinny though so it was to be expected. Thinking about the day, his mind wandered back to what happened at the bank, he'd really done it, he, the cat, had kissed the rat! Was that even legal? He thought about it for a moment, he really didn't know. Hearing Yuki moan slightly, he picked up the pace, he had to find somewhere for them to sleep, and soon, he couldn't carry Yuki all night, and he doubted that he could bring himself to wake him even if he'd wanted to. Wheeling into the local shrine, Kyo slowed a little, bringing himself to a natural walk before placing his cousin down by the prayer well. Yuki moaned slightly in discomfort, then burried his face into Kyo's thigh as he lay down onto his side. A smile crossed the cat boy's lips, Yuki was so cute when he slept, he moaned alot, curling up into a ball then huddling close to what or who ever he slept with, it was alot like how a little child slept. Maybe that was because Yuki had never had a real childhood...as long as he could remember, Yuki was like he was now, obedient, soft, good natured, there was rarely a time when he got into trouble. Except when it came to him, Yuki was always getting into trouble over him, he was a class 'A' problem for the boy, rude, obnoxious, mean to everyone, it was amazing that Shishou had put up with him for so long. But, then again, Shishou was the one who sudgested he come to live with Shigure and Yuki in the first place, had he known that this was going to happen? Kyo doubted it, Shishou may have good foresight, but there was no way he'd seen this coming, the cat and the rat in love? That was impossible...

After a moment he smirked, 'in love' where'd he gotten that one from? He wasn't in love with Yuki, not yet anyway, true he'd been attracted to the rat boy since they'd met, but as of acting on that attraction, he hadn't.

"Kyo?", Kyo jumped as he heard Yuki's voice and looked down to see two beautful, stormy grey eye's watching him, his voice was soft, "yeah?" Yuki sat up, leaning close to him and giving a sweet smile, "I thought of what you asked me this morning...and I have an answer..." Kyo smiled, rifleing the rat boy's hair gently, "oh yeah? What?", Yuki giggled lightly and removed Kyo's hand, squeezing it tightly in both of his, "my most desperate wish...is for us to make it.", he said softly. Leaning in, he brushed the tip of his nose against Kyo's cheek and added, "that way you'll be free..." His voice was a whisper that made Kyo shiver slightly, opening his mouth to say something, he turned only to find the grey haired boy already asleep on his shoulder, his fine grey hair, splayed out and a peaceful smile on his lips...

 

"He always was adorable when he slept...", Kyo jumped and jerked his head around to see Rin standing in the gates of the shrine a slightly soft look on her face. Her voice was soft, "hey Kyo, long time no see...", Kyo watched her closely an accusing look on his face, "what're you doing here?" Her voice was gentle, but none the less constricting as she replied to his question, "I saw you earlier...outside the bank...?", stepping around him, she looked up at the prayer bell, "I thought that cats and mice didn't mix...but you two..." She giggled to herself, "you two make it look so easy...so pleasurable and sweet, it almost seems like the natural choice..." Kyo pulled Yuki closer as he watched the usually violent young lady that was standing above him, feeling Yuki snuggle deeper into his shoulder and turning to see the rat boy half bite his shirt sleeve. What on earth was he dreaming about? Returning his gaze to Rin he saw her eye's were closed as the starting rain dripped down her chin and neck, her voice was cracked, "I wish I could be like you. Like the two of you, together in the world that hates you, I wish I could do that, could find someone like that..." Kyo hiked Yuki onto his lap, keeping him warm as the puddles grew around them; before he knew it, Rin was also huddled in their group, asleep against Kyo's forearm with her trenchcoat wrapped around them all. Tonight was going to be a long night but he supposed there was no helping it, they'd gotten themselves into it, so he closed his eye's and rested his head on Yuki's, falling asleep to the sound of the falling rain on the wooden over hang above them.

Yuki woke to soft rays peeking at him through the wood of the over hang, he'd moved in with Shigure and it'd been when Kyo had come to live with them that he'd started sleeping again, that he'd started being not the first awake, but the last. Feeling something touch his shoulder, he looked to see, Kyo's hand rubbing it gently, then he heard the cat boy speak, it was a soft and groggy tone of voice, the way it always was when he first woke up, "you stopped talking...", he whispered gently, resting his cheek on the rat boy's head. Yuki smiled and cuddled closer to him, "I'm sorry...I got a little distracted...", he heard Kyo smile before he gently uncurled Yuki's legs and pulled him higher onto his lap. His voice was light, "by what?", Yuki closed his eye's, "it's nothing...but I think our bags are all wet, so we have no clothes to change into..." Kyo's voice was fading as he slowly fell back into unconciousness, "we'll just have to take them to a laundromat...", Yuki watched a raindrop fall from a strand of his silky grey hair, "but we have no money. How're we going to-" It was useless, Kyo was asleep already, he must've been terribly tired, usually, once he was up, he was up, there was no two ways about it, he couldn't go back to sleep even if he tried; yet here he was sound asleep, unaware as rain fell from his beautiful orange strands while Yuki sat silently in his lap.

"You should let him sleep, he carried you most of the night last night...", Yuki jumped sharply, snapping his head around to see Rin there, sitting on the collection trough as she watched some birds that had gathered in the courtyard. His voice was soft, "what're you doing here, Rin...?", she didn't look at him, "you don't think you can just run away from our family and be done with it do you? Akito has complete control over us all...anyway how're you even going to get out of Japan with no money?!" That was a good question, how were he and Kyo going to get to America, on a hope and a prayer? That was ridiculous.

"What do you sudgest then?", he asked sharply, giving her a stormy grey glare, seeing her smirk lightly, "you allow me to come along...Akito won't shut down my account, I'm not as important as the cat or the rat, and besides I always run away, it's expected of me..." Yuki had to agree with her, Akito was expecting her to run, she always did and she never got away, why should this time be different than any other? Looking back up at Kyo he smiled before crawling out of his grip and hiking him onto his back, his voice was soft, "we gotta get moving, if we stay here too long we'll be caught..." Rin nodded, "there's a train station nearby here if you want to take it to the nearest airport... We wont be able to afford tickets straight to America, but we can atleast get out of the country..." Yuki smiled slightly, they were actually going to do it, they were going to leave this prison of a life for good, hiking Kyo higher onto his back he looked at him, 'I'm going to get you there...', he thought.

"Hurry your ass up! It's already 10:00 in the morning!", Rin growled as she grabbed the rat's wrist and dragged him to the steps, Yuki stumled a little, trying to keep up with her and after a moment of her pulling he wrenched his arm free of her grip. She looked back at him and he gently smiled, "you're going to make me drop him...", he said in explaination before decending the steps gracefully, passing she who was in slight shock of his concern before being fallowed by her.

When Kyo woke, he found himself to be in an unfamiliar looking place with Yuki asleep beside him, you sleep too much...", he said softly as his fingers brushed a wisp of the rat's hair away from his mouth.

"I'm not asleep...", came the rat's reply as he turned his head and looked at his cousin, "you know...you're not as heavy as I thought you'd be...", he said gently. Kyo stared at him for a long moment, "um...thanks...?", he wasn't really sure if that was supposed to be a compliment or not but... Yuki giggled and leaned up to kiss the cat's cheek lightly, "you know, you really should thank Rin...she's the one who bought our tickets to America", Kyo opened his mouth to say something, but somehow it got caught between his throat and his mouth. The result was his mouth gaping like a fish before he was stopped by Yuki's fingers catching on his lower jaw, "that doesn't suit you, kitten...", he said softly, "kichken...?" The cat looked bewildered, and very ridiculous with Yuki's index and middle finger holding his mouth open. Yuki smiled and slid just a little closer to his cousin, enough to let their bodies touch, yet not enough for anyone around them to notice what they were doing, "well you are the cat right...why not...?" Kyo immediatly spat out Yuki's fingers and sweatdropleted, "it sounds strange coming from your lips...it's just isn't like you..."

"You have pretty eyes...", Yuki said lightly, changing the subject, Kyo stopped, "what?!", it was so off topic, "what the hell has gotten into you?", he demanded. Yuki smiled, "do you really want to know...?", Kyo almost glared before Yuki stood and led him back to the restroom section of the plane. Kyo was confused, but after Yuki pushed him in and locked the door behind them both, it all became crystal clear. The rat's mouth was on his cousin's instantly, holding onto him and letting his touch wander, "I want you, Kitten...", he whispered, breaking the kiss only for a second before his mouth was back over Kyo's, though it did not linger, but traveled down the cat's throat. Kyo smirked, "to hell if you think that I'm going to be the bitch with this...", he whispered before his hands snapped to the grey haired boy's rear and picked him up, setting him on the small sink only briefly so the orange haired boy could remove his captive's pants and underclothes. Yuki smiled and hopped down once his legs were free, "you're mine now...", he crooned, thrusting the cat boy against the door and grinding heated flesh to the already unbuttoned cloth of Kyo's pants. Sensually slowly, the rat boy pushed his cousin's jeans to the floor and revelling in the feel of their sexes rubbing together the second they hit. This was too much, too much to hold back and almost instantly, the cat turned the rat boy around and thrust into him without reserve, listening to him groan and yelp all at the same time.

Yuki felt it instantly, pressing into the small of his back as he carried Kyo down the street toward the train station, he flushed red, what on earth was his cousin dreaming of? And why the hell did he have to feel the god damn after effects?! He swore to Kami himself right there that if Kyo came while he was on the rat boy's back that there was going to be hell to pay! After he took a bath, ofcourse. A soft groan whispered into his ear as Kyo lolled in his sleep and sure enough only a moment after the silver haired boy swore that to himself, he felt the stickily warm sensation of release against him. It took everything he had in him not to drop the cat right then and there with Rin watching while he blew up at him.

"Rin? We need to find a bathroom...and now...", he said nervously as Kyo woke up, Rin pointed them to a restroom and went to buy train tickets, Kyo was now fully alert to the fact that he was on Yuki's back, "you can put me down now..." Yuki attempted to hide the clear anger and emarassment that he was feeling right now, "oh no I can't! Not if we both value our dignity I can't..." The cat boy looked confused for a moment as Yuki opened the singulatory bathroom door, backed into it, put his cousin down and closed the door. That was about when the orange haired boy fully assessed the situation, either he'd peed on his cousin, or he'd cum on him, he really prayed for the life of him that it was the first one, he didn't want to have to give an explaination about his dream.

"What happened...?", he asked cautiously, Yuki's body went rigid and he turned with a beet red face and a dangerous glare in place, "you basically had a wet dream while you were on my back, you depraved tomcat! What on earth were you dreaming about?! Especially in the situation that we're in!" Yuki watched demandingly as his cousin's face turned red and he stared at the floor like a scolded child, "you don't want to know...", he said almost inaudibly, the rat placed his hands on his hips, "actually yes I do!", he said shortly. Kyo shook his head, "trust me, no you-"

"Tell me God damn it!", the rat screeched, "I have your semen on my back, I think I have the right to your embarassment! SO FUCKING TELL ME!!!", Kyo didn't say anything for a long moment before he looked up, "do you really want to know...?", he asked, using Yuki's words from his dream. The rat's hands left his hips and crossed over his chest, "yes..." Without reserve, Kyo kissed his old rival gently, his lips sealing over the rat's in an unexpected show of affection, "you...", he whispered. Yuki stepped back a half scared look on his face, "wha- Me?! Why?!" Kyo burried his face in his hands, "I don't know!", he moaned, catching the rat boys undivided attention, "it's just, you're always there, you're the only thing-", he stopped for a second before continuing, "that I have to hold onto..." Yuki stared at him for a long moment, "...alright...but- HOW THE HELL DOES THAT TURN INTO YOU DREAMING OF ASS FUCKING ME?! It was ass fuck right? I didn't-", he cast a nervous glance at Kyo's crotch momentarily before looking up at him, "did I...?" Kyo smiled, "no, it was just ass fuck...but personally? I like that side of you better than your normal one..." Yuki's eye twitched at the lecherous smile that infected the cat's lips and before the orange haired boy could block, the rat hit him, watching him fall into the wall and crack the porcelain tile with his skull.

"This is not the time for your confusing shit!", he half screamed before grabbing the hem of the shirt and tugged it off, Kyo went rigid, "wh-what're you doing?!", the rat glared, "changing! Or would you rather wear soiled clothes onto the train...?" Kyo looked surprised, "oh...", he turned pink, and to think that he'd thought- He pushed it out of his mind and began to dig an entire new outfit out of his bag for them both, though really Yuki only needed a new shirt.

"Here you-", he stopped half way through trying to hand Yuki the tight black tubetop with attatched scarf that gave it a tank top look, the rat boy was bending low above him, gently touching his cousin's hair as though it was something that interested him. Kyo's voice was a curious one, "what're you doing...?", Yuki stood back up and smiled, "you're hair...", he crooned, bringing his hand to his mouth, "I've always wanted to touch it...ever since the very first time we met, it facinated me to no end, it's such a beautiful color..." It felt like the earth had actually stopped spinning on it's axis, Yuki, the Yuki, the rat of the zodiac, had actually called Kyo's hair...beautiful...?

Taking the shirt that was offered to him, the rat didn't meet his cousin's eyes as he slipped it over his head and wrapped the scarf around his throat, "we need to get me some clothes...yours are a little too big..." Kyo fought the urge to pout as he dressed, but he liked how the rat looked in his clothes, it gave him an exotic feel, "well that should be perfect because it's a little too small for me..." Yuki looked in the mirror, "why do you wear such strange things anyway?", he asked as he adjusted the scarf but not really getting it quite right. Kyo stood as he finished zipping his pants, "because I like them", he stated lightly before turning the rat, pushing his hands away and placing the scarf in just the right spot. He really hated to admit it, but the damned shirt looked better on the rat boy than it ever had on him, Yuki's voice was both annoyed, and a little nervous, "what are you staring at?" Instantly the cat pulled his gaze away, "nothing...", he said softly, not really knowing what to think, he hadn't known that he'd been staring at all.

"Was there anything else...? That I did...?", Yuki asked with a slight flush on his face as he folded the soiled shirt that he'd just taken off, Kyo almost wanted to smile as he realized that his cousin was curious at how intimately he thought of him.

"Not really...other than you called me Kitten...", Kyo said hesitantly, Yuki stopped instantly and his face paled, "I-I called you that...?", he asked nervously, the cat smiled and stared at the floor distantly, "yeah..." Yuki's breath hitched, "I-I've never...I've never called you that... Have I?", he looked at him seriously, Kyo smiled, "I don't think so...", he said softly, "of course...you've never been this nice to me before..."

"Nice to you?", the rat's voice was sarcastic, "let me tell you one thing...", he crooned, pressing close against the cat boy as his mouth came very close to Kyo's lips,his voice held a seductive tone in it, "it took everything I had not to drop you on the spot when you came all over me..." He almost thought he saw his cousin shiver as he pulled back, perhaps it was his imagination; but then, why was there an odd shiver travleing up his own spine? He could deny it, he could never tell Kyo and pretend like it was a glitch, that it was a factor of the circumstance, hell he could even blame it on the humidity if he wanted to... But even if he did, he still would know it, that this, this danger and sense of immorality, the fact that they shared the same last name and still were feeling this, even if they weren't directly related, it excited him.

Taking a step back again, Yuki looked away and gently placed the shirt he'd taken off in the duffle bag.

"Yuki...?", when the rat boy looked up, Kyo leaned over and pressed his mouth over his old rival's lips. Yuki froze and stared when the cat broke the almost loving kiss, breathing heavilly as he heard his cousin's voice, low and seductive.

"The thought of you bent infront of me, allowing me to do to you what I wish...", he stepped closer to the rat and rested his palms against the wall, smirking gently, "I loved every second of it" The rat couldn't breathe, he remembered when he'd thought of Kyo the very first night. He remembered picturing his cousin, naked and sweaty and panting above him; he'd thought he'd been the only one...obviously not...

"Kyo..I-", the cat smiled gently and meant to pull back, but found Yuki's hands clutched to his shirt. The rat didn't think twice, pulling his cousin down, he kissed him ferociously and wrapped his arms around his neck. It took a moment before the cat sunk into it and pressed Yuki tightly between his own body and the wall. His hands slowly eased up the clean shirt that the rat boy had just put on and he broke the kiss briefly to yank the garment off. Yuki groaned as the cat's hands reconnected, this time with his bare skin, stroking velvetly upwards until he gently tweaked one pink and perked nipple. Suddenly-

BAM BAM BAM

"Aren't you two done yet?! The train leaves in, like, two minutes!", Rin screamed from outside the door. Kyo sighed and dropped his head onto the rat's shoulder for a second before stepping back and picking up the shirt and handing it back to his cousin. Yuki took it, but not before he slid against the cat boy and kissed him just so very gently. Then he turned away, slid the shirt back on and opened the door. Rin was standing there tapping her foot, her voice was short, "what took you two so long? I swear you two take longer in the bathroom than I do!" Yuki smiled and quietly fallowed her as she headed toward the platform, glancing at the cat who walked beside him and licking his lips unconciously when the boy looked back. This trip was becoming interesting, oh so very interesting.

Haru sat silently on the curb in front of the airport, twice already he'd been asked to leave, and twice already he'd had to explain that he wasn't loitering but was, infact, waiting for someone. Damn, Rin should've been there by now, even with Yuki and Kyo with her she shouldn't have been so slow. Sighing lightly, he shoved a cigarette that he'd stolen off of Hatori and lit it, grinding it out on the pavement after he noticed the 'no smoking' sign on the wall to his right. He thought about what she'd asked him on the phone when she'd called him at the train station about the cat and the rat boy. If they really acted like that now that they'd left the family, then just how long had they been fostering those feelings for eachother? Since Tohru-san had moved in? Before that? Since they'd both moved in with Shigure? Since they were kids? In all honesty, he didn't know, he'd never really paid much attention to how they reacted to eachother, to him it had always been the same. Yuki and Kyo had always hated eachother, the cat and the rat would always hate eachother, that much was fact. So how had they done this? How had they managed to foster love through that substantial loathing?

Finally, he saw them, all three of them climbing out of a cab and he stood so they could see him.

Kyo glanced quietly at Yuki as the rat slid out of the car before him, he was acting like the entire instance in the bathroom had never heppened. But it had, he knew it had because he could still taste him on his lips. Quietly getting out of the car, he slipped up behind the rat and whispered into his ear, "I want to talk to you once we are on the plane..." Yuki's ears perked a little to show the cat that he was listening and the cat fell back as not to look suspicious. To any other person on the street the gesture would've gone unnoticed, but to the ox it'd been all too obvious; the cat never would've done such a thing to any member of the family at home, and certainly not to the rat, Yuki never would have allowed it. That one gesture had confirmed it all, every suspicion that he'd had was now proven.

"Did you get the money that I asked you to wire?", Haru smiled as Rin's voice snapped him out of his contemplation, "of course...", he said lightly, handing her a debit card and leading her inside. The woman at the counter had thought they were insane as they ordered four tickets ot China and headed for the gate, you could tell by the look in her eyes.

Kyo ran his fingers over the ticket, they were really going...he and Yuki were really going together...

 

~That chapter was really fun to write but I think that the next one will be even more fun, we may finally actually get somewhere near a lemon... Wish me luck and I will get it to you as soon as I can~
