Chapter Three: Making It Worse

Kyo woke the next morning alone. Sitting bolt-upright, he snapped his head back and forth scanning the room for Kagura. Panick-stricken, he dove off the bed for his discarded jeans from the day before and didn't bother putting on a shirt as he tore out of his room and down the stairs. He checked the kitchen, the dining room, and even the backyard in his search for her. Cursing loud enough to wake the remaining sleeping residents, he tore back inside and burst into Shigure's room. "Oi! Kagura's missing, get up we have to fi......" Kyo stood frozen in place, his skin turning a pale white. There, lying in Shigure's bed was Shigure himself. But he wasn't alone. Cradled in his arms was Ayame, Yuki's older brother. Ayame's long white hair flowed across the bed like a waterfall, dangling off the side and daring to touch the floor. Shigure, who had woken up at Kyo's outburst, raised a finger to his lips indicating Kyo should stay silent. Ayame whimpered lightly in his sleep as Shigure began untangling himself from the Hebi. Once free, Shigure grabbed a clean robe from his closet and wrapped it around himself, biting his lip to keep from laughing at the look of horror still frozen on Kyo's face. Leading the poor Neko out of his room, Shigure began to whisper. "You know, Kyo-kun...you should really learn to think before you act. Honestly, do you think that you kids are the only Jyuunishi that go into heat this time of year? You were practically asking to walk in on that." Kyo, who was still twitching, tried to gather his thoughts.

"Kagura's missing. I woke up and she was gone." Kyo clenched his fists, a low growl rising in the back of his throat. ~She's with Akito, I know it. She went back to him last night. She could be dead this time...~

Shigure nodded and sat down at the table, smirking. "She left this morning to go for a walk. She said she needed to gather her thoughts, and she'd be back by lunchtime. I suggest you leave her be." Kyo snapped into a fighting stance, "I don't need you telling me to stay away from that girl, like I'd want to be near her anyway......" Kyo paused, blinking, and Shigure began to laugh. "Hai, Kyo-kun. It's difficult getting out of the habit of pretending you dislike her, isn't it?" Kyo straightened up and stormed off to the kitchen, set on drinking an entire carton of milk and retreating to the roof. Shigure's face became serious as Kyo walked away, hoping to himself that Kagura had indeed just gone for a walk and she wasn't back at the main house.

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

Kagura walked slowly along the path, her mind drifting from thought to thought. What would happen now? She'd gotten herself into quite a situation. As it stood, she belonged to Akito. But she had gotten his permission to be with Kyo. Now Kyo wanted her as well, but she doubted Kyo would let her be with Akito and him at the same time. To add to the problem, she wasn't sure how she felt about Akito. Did she care about him? Or was it simply fear manifesting itself as dedication? Did Akito expect her to be his alone, now? And how would he take to Kyo finally loving her? The questions were enough to drive a person crazy, and Kagura was close to that point. She began pulling her hair and taking deep breaths, trying to take one question at a time. She'd lost track of her surroundings and almost screamed when she heard someone yell.

"Kagura! Watch out!" Stumbling at the sudden noise, she fell backwards and landed on the ground with a thud. Groaning, she held her head and looked up to see who had scared her that bad, mentally noting to rip them a new one when her ass stopped stinging. Yuki stood over her, his eyes wide with concern. "Kagura, diajobu desu ka?" She sat up and nodded, whining when she saw the state of her outfit. She'd stolen a pair of Kyo's pants and one of his hooded jackets. The pants were going to take a miracle on Tohru's part to remove the grass stains. ~At least Kyo-kun's favorite jacket isn't ruined...~ Kagura looked up at Yuki, frowning. "Why'd you yell?" Yuki knelt beside Kagura, nodding to the side where Kagura had been about to walk. The small garden looked well kept and tidy, Yuki had just finished weeding and watering the vegetables when Kagura almost trampled them. Appologizing, Kagura bit her lip as her eyes began to water. Looking startled, Yuki held out his hands, offering to help her stand up. "There's no harm done, there's no need to cry, Kagura..." Taking a few shakey breaths, Kagura lowered her head and wiped her eyes. "It's not that. I just have a lot on my mind right now."

Yuki reached out and lifted Kagura's chin gently, smiling softly at her. "Anything you want to talk about? Honda-san once told me that talking about things makes you feel better." Smiling in return, Kagura began explaining her situation to Yuki, pausing every once in a while to sniffle and rub her eyes. Yuki listened sadly, ~No wonder she hadn't seen the garden, she has more on her mind than she can handle.~ As Kagura continued to explain, Yuki felt his stomach build up a strange feeling. Shocked at himself, he wondered what it was he was feeling that could be causing his stomach to clench the way it did. After a few more moments of listening, he realized he was feeling sorry for Kagura. He wanted to hug her, to help her feel better. Noting that Kagura had stopped talking and was sobbing into her hands, Yuki stepped forward and wrapped his arms around her gently. Nuzzling his head against hers, he whispered, "It'll be allright, Kagura." He breathed deeply, holding her against him and noting how good she smelled. His stomach gave another lurch, but this time it wasn't pity he was feeling for his cousin. He cursed mentally, damning the Spring for the effect it had on the Jyuunishi. Feeling Kagura stir in his arms, he wondered if she was being effected as well. She seemed to be pressing closer to him, her head buried in his neck. Maybe it was just his imagination, but he thought she was breathing funny.

Pulling back slightly, Yuki looked into Kagura's eyes. She had stopped crying, and she was indeed breathing heavily. She shivered in his arms, her lips parted slightly to hide her breathing. Yuki felt himself growing hard as his eyes trailed from hers, down to her soft lips, down her neck and to the zipper on Kyo's hooded jacket. He licked his lips, wanting so badly to pull that zipper, slide it down all the way so he could see more of her.

Kagura watched his eyes trail over her body. Her brain was screaming at her to walk away. Some part of her was yelling that she had enough problems to be dealing with than to be disobeying Akito yet AGAIN, let alone having it be with Akito's number-one obsession. Something inside her was pushing away common sense, positive that the feelings welling up inside her were plenty reason to go for it. She could see Yuki was struggling to keep his composure, he was always such a gentleman when it came to girls. Knowing she'd have to make the first move if anything was going to happen, Kagura pressed herself flush against Yuki, looking up into his eyes and sliding her arms up his chest, gripping his shirt. Shaking slightly, Yuki snaked his arms around Kagura's waist and leaned down, kissing her deeply. His tongue pushed forward eagerly, exploring her mouth and massaging her tongue. True, this wasn't the first time he and Kagura had kissed like this. Two years before, during the spring of course, he'd lost control and made out with her after a wrestling match gone too far. It was Kyo's intrusion that had stopped it from going farther last time. This time was different, they both were frantic to satiate their building tension. Kagura needed this, she needed to get her mind off of all the problems she was facing. She needed to feel absorbed in a single task, to have her mind blank and her body seeking nothing more than it's own release. Yuki needed this too, he needed to feel someone in his arms. Having Haru and Kyo take him was fine, he cared for them deeply. But somehow the closeness of a single person in his arms, wanting HIM to be the dominant one, needing to be held and loved was more satisfying than a million threesomes combined.

Yuki's hands pressed Kagura's body tighter against his, pressing her hips against his and moaning lightly at the friction it created. He slid his hands up her sides and underneath the hooded jacket, running them along her spine until he reached the clasp of her bra. Unhooking it with great effort, he massaged her back gently and shivered as he earned a moan from the girl in his arms. Kagura ground her hips against his, making Yuki's knees buckle and almost give way beneath him. Eager to prevent this from happening, he pulled Kagura to the ground and lay on top of her, his tongue now assaulting hers in an effort to express his growing need.

Kagura was overwhelmed. She'd never seen Yuki this desperate for affection. Following his lead, she writhed beneath him, rubbing against his trapped erection and lightly scratching her nails down his back. When it seemed like Yuki was breathing hard enough for his asthma to strike him, Kagura broke the kiss and lifted her head, biting Yuki's neck gently. Yuki's voice trembled, moaning softly and clenching Kagura's hair gently, his fingers entwined in the silky strands. He needed more, he wanted more, he leaned up and pulled the zipper of the hooded sweatshirt down all the way, throwing it open to reveal Kagura's bare chest. Her bra had slid down her shoulders and was caught between her elbows and the sleeves of the jacket. After a few moments of fumbling, she rid herself of both jacket and bra and lay before Yuki, her cheeks flushing with slight embarrassment. Yuki stared down in amazement at her, he really couldn't see why Kyo hadn't been attracted to her all along. She was beautiful, her skin was soft and smooth, a fact that Yuki couldn't help noticing as he slid his hands slowly over her stomach and up to her chest, cupping her breasts and rubbing his thumbs across her now hard nipples. Her back arched, his touch sent jolts through her entire body. Needing more than just the feel of his hands on her, she swung her leg around him and pulled him close, locking her legs together behind the small of his back and forcing him to fall forward into her. His hard length pressed roughly against her, eliciting a moan from both of them.

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

He'd heard sounds coming from the woods close to the trail to Shigure house. Wondering what was going on and who could be in the woods, he walked cautiously through the trees in search of the noise. He'd found from brother Hatori that most of his cousins had gone to Shigure's for the next two weeks. Feeling lonesome and hoping it was okay for him to join them, he'd set out in hopes that he could spend a day in their company without shaming himself.

Reaching a clearing with a small garden, he paused and gaped, his jaw dropping. There was Yuki, laying on top of a barely-dressed Kagura. He was grinding into her, moaning into her ear and holding her hands above her head. Thanking the gods that he hadn't been seen or heard, he turned to leave quickly when something stopped him. Rather than leave, he climbed the nearest sturdy tree and perched himself on one of the branches, giving himself a rather good view of the two on the ground.

Kagura's assault on Yuki's neck was neverending, her tonge bathed an area then she would nip the area lightly, followed by a gentle bite as she threw her hips up into his. Yuki was panting, begging her for more. When she'd had her fill of listening to his erotic moans and gasps, she released his hips from her leglock and stopped biting his neck. He pulled back, letting go of her arms and wondering what was wrong. Kagura licked her lips hungrily and began pulling Yuki's shirt up over his head. Realizing what he and Kagura were about to do, Yuki practically tore the pants from Kagura's hips, sliding both them and her underwear down her legs and off completely, tossing them aside. Kagura was making quick work of Yuki's pants as well, already having undone the belt, button, and zipper. Wanting them off faster, Yuki stood and dropped the pants, as well as his boxers, down around his feet and kicked them aside next to Kagura's. Dropping once again to his knees, he looked Kagura over as she lay naked on the grass in front of him.

She was trembling, whether from nervousness or eagerness Yuki couldn't tell. He leaned forward, crawling up overtop of her and gently spreading her legs apart, kneeling between them. Sliding a hand down her smooth stomach and over her thigh, he worked his way back up to her heated core and gently parted the folds. He slowly slid one finger into her, flexing and curling the finger inside her, his eyes burning with want as he watched her writhe against his hand. Adding a second finger, he began flexing his fingers faster, her hips bucking in rhythm with the stroking of his fingers inside her. Her muscles tightened and he knew she was close already. He kissed a trail down her stomach and gently dragged his tongue across her clit, moaning as he listened to her gasp and whimper his name. Her whole body seized, shaking and tensing all at once, then slowly releasing as her climax winded down. Yuki slid his fingers out of her, slowly licking them clean as Kagura recovered.

Giving her time to catch her breath, Yuki bided his time by looking over her body. It was glistening with sweat in the sunlight, making her body look like it was covered with tiny jewels. Finally, not being able to hold out any longer, Yuki crawled over her once again, looking deeply into her eyes. "Kagura......onegai...." He pressed his throbbing member against her inner thigh. Her body flaring at the sight of Yuki pleading with those gorgeous violet eyes, Kagura wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him down and thrusting her tongue into his mouth, her legs falling apart, accepting his plea. Supporting himself with one elbow, he used the other hand to guide himself into Kagura. When his tip reached her moist entrance, he removed his hand and placed it on her other side, winding his fingers once again in her hair. He slid forward slowly, pushing his length into her and burying it to the hilt. Kagura moaned eagerly into Yuki's mouth, her hips rocking up to meet him. She was sore from the day before, still bruised from Akito's punishment. But Yuki felt so good, he had a gentleness she'd never felt before. He pulled back and slid into her again, this time Yuki was the one to moan, his voice reaching a dangerous pitch. Breaking the kiss, Yuki gripped Kagura's hair tighter, his head nuzzling against hers.

Slowly, his pace increased. He pushed into her again and again, his breath ragged and labored. Kagura was writhing in his arms, begging him for more. Needing to be deeper, wanting to be in her more than anything in the world, Yuki lifted her legs up onto his shoulders, sliding into her and almost screaming. It felt so good, she was so tight he couldn't stand it. He bucked into her, sliding in and out at a pace to rival Momiji's. Kagura's muscles were spasming around his length, she'd had a second orgasm that seemed to last forever. Losing control, Yuki tossed his head back and cried out Kagura's name, slamming into her one last time and cumming deep inside her, white stars exploding on the insides of his eyelids. They stayed frozen in that position for an eternity in itself, too shaken to move. Slowly, Yuki regained his sight and let Kagura's legs slide off his shoulders and back down on either side of his waist. She was shaking harder than ever, tremors from the aftershock. He layed down against her gently, still inside her. Holding her close, he nuzzled into her neck, whispering softly in her ear. "I hope it's allright, Kagura....if I love you." Tears stung Kagura's eyes, the weight of everything sinking back onto her shoulders, almost crushing her. If Akito'd been furious with her for sleeping with Momiji without his permission, he'd surely kill her for being with Yuki. Not to mention Kyo, he'd finally fallen for her and what does she do? Goes out and screws Yuki in the woods. ~Way to go, Kagura. Great way to ruin everything.~

Noticing her trembling, Yuki held her closer. "Kagura....we won't tell Akito. Promise me you won't, not unless he asks you. I don't want you to lie, but I don't want you to go running to him and getting hurt again." Kagura nodded silently. Not telling Akito meant her punishment would be worse if he found out from a third party, but she couldn't handle another night of punishment. A sudden crash brought Yuki to his feet, his head whipping around in search of the noise as Kagura scrambled to get her clothes back on. One fully clothed, Kagura reached out a hand to stop Yuki from storming into the woods. She nodded down to his own clothes, "You dress, I'll go look." Walking slowly across the clearing and into the trees, Kagura's sense of smell was going into overdrive. Turning back to Yuki, her hand covered her mouth as she began to giggle. Yuki, buttoning the last button of his shirt and tilting his head at her, asked what was so funny. "It's Ritsu......he's here. I can smell the bath salts from the Onsen." Like an exploding volcano, Ritsu burst forth from behind a nearby clump of bushes and began wailing his appologies, his arms flailing as he ran in circles.

Tohru hummed to herself as she began to make breakfast. She had a considerable amount of guests to cook for, so she busied herself making extra portions of everything. Her mind kept slipping back to the day before. ~Permission....they need permission to be able to be with each other. And they're punished just for asking if Akito is displeased. How horrible it must be to live with that kind of fear. Ayame-san and Shigure-san don't seem to be afraid to share their love, maybe they have permission. Still, Akito must have a reason for why he makes those kinds of rules.~ She finished cooking the food and set to the task of setting up everyone's places. ~Perhaps he's jealous that the Jyuunishi will live while he must die, and he wants them to be as sad and lonely as he is! Hai, that must be the reason! How terrible.....to be so lonely, to want company so bad that you feel you have to make others as sad as yourself with rules and punishments.~ Tohru wiped her eyes on her apron, hurrying to set out the food and calling to everyone, letting them know breakfast was ready.

Haru's eyes opened slowly, adjusting to the light. He focused on the room he was in, he recognized it as Yuki's. But it wasn't Yuki lying in bed with him. The body nuzzled up against his own was much too small to be Yuki. Haru looked down and smiled at the blonde in his arms, dropping a kiss on top of his head. Momiji stirred and yawned, looking up sleepily into Haru's eyes. "Tohru got up early to make breakfast, and I didn't want to be alone...and I missed you." Haru held Momiji tight, "I missed you too. Was Yuki in here when you came in?" Momiji shook his head, "No, he'd already gone." A grin spread over Momiji's innocent face as he giggled, "But you look like you had fun before he left," nodding down towards the bedsheets which were twisted into knots and obviously sticky from last night's endeavors. Haru's eyes rose to meet Momiji's playful ones again, grinning. "Would you like to know exactly what went on last night?" Momiji squealed as Haru rolled over and pinned him to the bed, tickling him with his free hand and biting his neck gently.

Downstairs, Tohru smiled as she heard Momiji squealing. Hearing the shower start, she knew Kyo was up as well. He was always the first one in the shower, and because of that he was always the last one to breakfast as well. She smiled to herself as she sat waiting for the others to join her. Ayame and Shigure entered the dining room first, smiling brightly. "Ahhhh Tohru-kun, how wonderful that you have so dutifully prepared a delicious breakfast to satiate the hunger of those living in this household! My compliments on your efficiency!!!" Tohru blushed and thanked him, wondering to herself if the others would even make it down to breakfast knowing Ayame-san was there already. Shigure's ears perked up, being able to hear the muffled commotion upstairs. "Ne, Tohru-kun. We should start breakfast without the others. Yuki and Kagura aren't back from their walks yet, Kyo's showering and Haru has Momiji a bit busy right now." Tohru turned beet red and stammered, "H-hai! I'll just go get the tea!" As she bustled out of the room, Ayame laughed lightly, turning his head to look at Shigure. "You're so mean to her, you know how innocent her mind works. Seeing the boys and Kagura at it yesterday must have been quite a shock and you seem to be reminding her every chance you get." Shigure nodded wisely, "Hai, hai, but if I remind her often enough of our nature, not only will she understand the inside jokes we make at the table at mealtimes, but she'll also pick up on cues that prevent her from walking in on such a scene again. I'm teaching her defense!" Ayame leaned forward and kissed Shigure gently, brushing his lips against the Inu's, "You just love making her blush and think dirty things, you pervert." Shigure smiled and winked at Ayame, changing the subject as Tohru re-entered the room with a fresh pot of tea.

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

The walk back to Shigure's was quiet and awkward. Yuki had taken Kagura's hand and laced his fingers with hers, swinging their arms slightly as they walked together. Ritsu was lagging behind, still ashamed with himself. He hadn't even made it to Shigure's before making an idiot of himself. He was mentally beating himself when he walked straight into Kagura. Staggering backwards and wailing appologies once again, Ritsu fell to his knees and began sobbing. He felt someone kneel beside him. Looking up, he sat there face to face with Kagura. She smiled at him and took his hand in hers. "Ritsu, you need to calm down. No one's angry with you. Stop appologizing all the time, ne?" Ritsu sniffled and nodded, clinging to Kagura's hand and standing up with her. They walked a little further, Kagura holding both boys' hands, until Ritsu suddenly piped up, "What's it like?" Kagura turned her head to Ritsu, stopping in the middle of the path, "What's what like?" Ritsu's cheeks reddened as he answered her, "Sex. What's it like?" Kagura giggled and Yuki shook his head at her. Ritsu began biting his lip, feeling the shame welling up inside him again.

"Kagura, why don't you walk ahead and tell everyone Ritsu's coming for breakfast. I'll talk with Ritsu." Kagura nodded and leaned up, gently kissing Yuki before spinning around and jogging back down the path towards the house. Ritsu felt the tears welling up inside him. He knew that everyone must think he's too young to be thinking about sex, but this spring had been particularly hard for him. This spring was his first year going into heat, and no one had warned him what was coming. Walking down the path slowly, Yuki explained first the mechanics of sex, then the feeling it gave, and by the time they had reached the house Yuki was warning Ritsu of the signs he'd notice in the days before he would go into heat. Ritsu's face was flushed and his heart was racing. They were met at the door by Tohru, but the look on her face meant something was wrong. Yuki rushed forward, "Honda-san! Diajobu desu ka?" Tohru was shaking, pointing into the house as dishes shattered and yelling could be heard. Yuki bolted into the house, rushing into the kitchen and stopping dead in his tracks. There were Kagura and Kyo, they stood in fighting stances ready to attack, and from the looks of it they'd already taken a couple of shots at each other. Broken dishes and Tohru's delicious breakfast were scattered across the floor. A rage built up in Yuki, horrified that anyone would dishonor Tohru in such a way. Kagura made the first move, she darted forward and swung her leg up high, spinning and landing a well placed kick to the side of Kyo's head. Kyo shook it off and countered with a sweep kick, knocking Kagura onto her back.

"YOU SCREWED YUKI AND YOU EXPECT ME TO JUST LET IT GO?!?!" Kyo dropped his stance and stepped back a few feet. Kagura stood slowly, rubbing her head where she'd smacked it into the hardwood floor. Yuki practically screamed at Kyo as he walked into the room, "DON'T YOU DARE BE SUCH A HIPPOCRITE!! You've slept with EVERYONE in this house except Tohru, and you're going to beat Kagura for being with me?" His arms were up, he was ready to give Kyo the beating of his life. Kyo turned to Yuki, and Yuki's mouth dropped. Kyo's eyes were red and wet, he was trying not to cry. "That's got nothin' to do with it.....what's gonna happen when Akito finds out? He's gonna kill her, that's what. I DON'T WANNA LOSE HER AGAIN." Kyo stormed out of the kitchen, not even glancing at Ritsu as he stormed upstairs and onto his refuge on the roof. Kagura wiped the food off of the outfit she was wearing, cursing that now there was no way even Tohru could get the stains out. Noticing that Kagura was trying a little too hard to get herself cleaned off, Yuki stepped forward and took her hands, holding them close to his chest. "Gomene.....Kagura." She didn't answer, she just fell forward into his arms and shook as she tried to gather her thoughts once again. Shigure sighed as he viewed the spectacle from his seat in the dining room. "It looks like we'll be ordering out for today, what with the mess those two just made of my house." He sniffled and wiped away fake tears from his eyes.
