[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

Kuu: Hey guys. So, I see you all liked the awful cliffy I left you with yesterday..n.n'

I was going to wait about a week or so before I updated again, just to make you all twitch..But.. I got so many nice reviews from you all I've decided I'll do a quick update! Think of it as a gift for all of your generosity!! Hehe

Shakaku Gekkani: You're probably the only one who's claimed to know exactly what's gonna happen in this story. But I think I told you didn't I..? If not, then you're really good at predicting things! And yes I am updating soon. Teehee

Sam I Am: You will find out what Akito has in mind for everyone in this chapter. Also..Yes, I thought it would be funny to make Haru black, then have him turn white in the middle of it and have no idea what he was doing. Don't worry. Yuki will regret what he does!!!

MorbidFlower: Yes yes. Poor Tori-nii. The usual cold and impassive dragon is actually dreading something for once. The poor guy, I feel sorry for him. Not as sorry as I feel or Haru and Kyo though, but it's pretty damn close!! I love Hatori ;[

Syitz: Please don't cry, I'm updating again! And it's only been like....15 hours since chapter 4 was posted!

KurimusonShinigami ((Nikkler?)) : Of course he deserved it, and if it wasn't funny I probably wouldn't have put it there. I mean, I dont want to post something I think is funny then have all my reviewers saying "Wow, she's got a terrible sense of humor." lol. And I am updating, so don't kill me.

oruchuban Ebichu: ((Eyes dart around nervously)) Ehehe. I don't like that evil look in your eyes.. I'm sorry for being the evil spawn of satan I am..But..Please forgive me? And of course the scene I have set up won't be nearly as good if Kyo isn't at least a little irritated before-hand..And I'm not gonna keep Yuki away from Haru..Kyo is. Eehehe. And I'm glad you liked the little scene with Shigure.

BakaDen: I'm not sure how much practice I need with writing, but im lazy and if people dont like how i write then they can just stop looking, ya know? lol. And for some reason, I love it when there's a struggle, not like rape, but bondage is hella awesome depending on the pairing. lol. and when Im looking for pictures I have a thing for anything bondage, especially blindfolds. Don't ask, I dunno. Ehehehe. Anywho!! Ill shutup now. Teehee

"Yuki?" Haru asked.
The rat just stood there watching him as if in a daze. And for some reason, Haru felt very uncomfortable being the subject of that gaze. It wasn't that impassive 'I don't give a shit about you' gaze. It was as if his eyes were devouring him alive, and it was very unnerving.
"Uhm..Yuki, are you okay?" He asked nervously, eyeing the rat.
Yuki began advancing on the cow, looking up and down his body with hungry eyes. "I'm okay..Now" He muttered quietly. Haru realized the rat wasn't walking past him, but to him rather..He nervously began backing away from the oncoming teen.
It's not every day you see Haru in a retreating position. The poor guy.
Yuki gave him an annoyed look when he realized the taller boy away doing his best to keep as much distance between them as possible. Once he was close enough he reached out and grabbed two hand fulls of the cows shirt and pushed him into the wall.
Haru winced at the impact and gave the rat a bewildered look. "Yuki???" He asked as Yuki leaned in a bit, taking in the cows scent. Haru pushed him away and attempted to leave again but he was literally slammed back into the wall, resulting in the breath getting knocked out of him.
"Y-Yuki what are you doing?" He asked after he fully recovered from the blow.
"Something I should have done a long time ago." He explained and pressed his lips against the cows. Haru reeled and tried to step away, completely forgetting that there was a wall directly behind him.
What the hell was Yuki thinking??
Having no space to move, Haru opted for pushing the pale boy away from him. But gravity seemed to hate him and Yuki wasn't exactly as light as a feather..He began to panic. What was he going to do? He couldn't have Yuki continue this and think he can molest him whenever he feels like it!! But how is he supposed to stop when he can't even move?
But what he was really dreading was...

"Haru how long does it take you to get a dri-" Kyo asked as he turned the corner, but the words stopped in his throat when the kitchen came into view. Haru looked at him in pure horror.
Kyo gaped at the two for a moment, wanting to say something. Anything. But nothing would come out. He wanted to scream at rat for jumping on Haru and he wanted to scream and Haru for letting it happen..But his voice wouldn't work. He didn't even know for sure if Haru was innocent. Of course he trusted the cow, but he'd had a crush on the nezumi for a long time so maybe if Yuki changed his mind....
Nonetheless, he couldn't just stand here and look at them though. It hurt to much and he needed to think. So, wordlessly, the redhead turned around and walked back upstairs, ignoring the person calling his name from the other room.

"Kyo.." Haru whispered to himself as the cat disappeared. Yuki, who seemed oblivious to what happened, was still in his personal space. Haru felt anger swell in him and shoved the rat away roughly, glaring at him venomously.
"What the fuck, Yuki? What were you thinking?" Haru glowered at him."You just..I..GOD DAMNIT!" He growled, not knowing what to say. He sent another glare at the rat, but he looked more hurt then mad. He shook his head and tried to will his anger away. He didn't want to go Black here and now, it was to troublesome..Ignoring the boy in front of him he stalked out of the house, slamming the door shut behind him.
Yuki on the other hand looked shocked. He couldn't believe he'd actually done that. It was like he couldn't control himself, and now he'd successfully majorly pissed off and/or hurt two of his somewhat 'friends.' Haru was right..What WAS he thinking..? Letting his body control him like that..

Kyo looked up at the sky from his spot on the roof, his eyebrows furrowed.
The image of Yuki with Haru kept replaying itself through his head. Of all the times he could have walked in, he had to walk in on that. It was just his luck. He wasn't sure who he was mad at. Yuki or Haru.
Or both..?
But the look on Haru's face when he saw Kyo in the doorway wasn't one of guilt at being caught. He looked worried and even scared. Perhaps Yuki just surprised Haru when he wasn't paying attention? It was very possible, with the way the rat had been looking at him lately..
He snapped out of his thoughts when he heard the door slam just below. He peeked over the edge of the roof to see Haru walking away from the house, with his hands shoved in his pockets. He stopped and looked up at the house, involuntarily catching the nekos gaze. His eyes widened in surprise for a moment before looking away in shame and resuming his trek away from the house.
Kyo felt his heart flutter as he watched the white haired teen disappear into the distance. He couldn't bring himself to be mad at the ox. He'd never seen the younger boy look so troubled before. Haru didn't deserve to feel unhappy about anything. At least not if Kyo had anything to do with it!
It was because of that kuso nezumi that this happened. Kyo grumbled to himself as he jumped down from the roof, accidently startling Tohru, who was hanging up laundry.
"Oh! Kyo.. You startled me.. Ehehe!" Her smile faded a bit when she saw the look on the cats face. "Are you okay? Did something happen between you and Hatsuharu? I saw him leave a little while ago, he looked sad.." She explained. Kyo shook his head at her and walked into the house.
Yuki was caught off guard as he was shoved roughly in the back, causing him to pitch forward. He turned around and was met with hatred filled red eyes. He sighed. He figured this would happen sooner or later.
"Kyo." He stated. "About earlier.."
He was cut off as the cats fist collided with his face, hard. He stumbled back a few steps, cradling his cheek in his hand. That hurt. He sent the neko a withering glare, but as he suspected the redhead was unaffected by it.
"Kyo, I'm not gonna fight you." He stated coldly, straightening his shirt. Kyo's glare hardened and he balled his fists at his sides, his fingernails digging into his skin.
"Of course not, right? Why would the rat want to waste his time on the fithy cat?" He exclaimed, letting his head drop. "You were born to take everything away from me weren't you..?" He asked in a softer voice. "A place in the family, having everyones attention and now even the one thing that makes me happy.." His voice cracked slightly. He refused to meet the rats gaze as he tried to keep tears from falling from his eyes.
Yuki felt guilt shoot through his heart. Is that really what Kyo thought..?
'Well of course that's what he thinks, baka.' He told himeslf.
"Kyo, I'm sorry..I was being selfish." Yuki reluctantly admitted. "I..I guess I was jealous." He added quietly, not knowing if the cat heard it or not.
"Prince Yuki. Jealous. Haha." Kyo laughed sadly. "How can you be jealous when you can get anything you want by just asking for it?"
Kyo broke down then, the thought that Haru would probably leave him if Yuki wished it was enough to crush his entire resolve. Yuki just gaped at the sobbing teen in front of him. He'd never seen Kyo show any emotion other then anger, but now he was crying? And what made him feel even worse was that it was he who had caused the cat so much pain. More pain to add to the pain he'd been through his whole life..Haru had been right with what he'd said a long time ago..Maybe Yuki wasn't human after all..Just an emotionless shell that didn't have any reguard to other people.
He didn't know if he should just let the boy cry and get it out of his system, or attempt to comfort him somehow. Knowing Kyo though, he'd probably get pissed and tell him to 'fuck off and leave him alone'. But the boy in front of him didn't look like the Kyo he was used to...
"Kyo..I.." Yuki tried, taking a step forward. Kyo quickly turned away from him. It was bad enough that he'd let the rat see his own insecurities. He didn't need to see him cry like a little girl too.
"Don't look at me! Just go away!" He yelled, his voice shaky and started walking away.
Without thinking, Yuki grabbed the boy by his arm to keep him from leaving. "Kyo, listen to me." He stated.
Kyo whirled around and shoved the rat away from him.
"What's your deal! I said go away!" He cried. "You don't get it, do you? What being the cat is all about? It's about being rejected and alone your whole life! Not that you know anything about it you damn rat!"
Yuki looked at the redhead with wide eyes. Kyo was looking at him with, not rage, but betrayal and hurt..He looked up at saw Tohru staring at Kyo with sad eyes. He shook his head at her, silently telling her to leave him alone as she took a step into the room. She gave him a curious look but nodded in understanding.

Kyo hiccuped and tried to swallow his sobs, which sounded really loud in the heavy silence that had enveloped the room. He didn't even want to know what Yuki thought about what he'd said. He didn't plan on actually say everything that was on his mind..But it kind of slipped out. Yuki was probably laughing at him and congratulating himself on a job well done..He was so deep in his own thoughts he almost didn't feel the strong arms wrap around his shoulders.

"You really are a stupid cat." Haru mumbled into his neck lovingly as he held the trembling boy against him. "You're not alone as long as I'm here." He explained. He'd heard pretty much everything said between the two when he walked in the front door. Of course the other two were to busy in their little..Whatever it was to notice his presence.

His heart nearly broke at the words Kyo yelled. He obviously still had alot of insecurities, but when Kyo actually began to cry..He felt his heart rip in two. He couldn't let his kitten sit there and hurt because of him..

Kyo had turned around in his arms and was now sobbing into his shirt, which was clasped in his hands in a death grip. Haru rubbed the boys back for comfort, resting his chin on the older teens head.

After a little while the redheads ragid breathing calmed and he relaxed in the ox's arms. Haru looked down at the redhead. He was asleep.

Haru and Yuki sweatdropped. (Yeh Yuki's still there. Tohru had decided that everything was okay when Haru showed up and continued her housework)

How someone could fall asleep standing up was a mystery to them. Well Yuki at least, Haru knew that he was the one holding Kyo up. He was positive that if he let go right now, the redhead would fall face first into the floor.

Haru let a small smile form on his face as hoisted the boy into his arms. He looked over at Yuki and gave him a small nod, which Yuki returned with an apologetic grin. He turned to leave the room.

"Haru?" Yuki asked. Haru paused in the doorway and looked at the rat questioningly.

"Is..That really how it's always been? For Kyo I mean." He asked softly, no signs of anger or disgust could be seen. Haru observed the rat for a moment before answering.

"For most of his life." He answered quietly before turning and leaving the room.

Yuki watched as the two teens left and smirked a bit. Maybe now he understood Kyo a little more..


Haru layed Kyo in their bed and laid next to him, wrapping his arms around the redheads waste and burying his face in his fiery hair.

"I'll always love you." He whispered happily and drifted to sleep with the neko in his arms.

Kyo smiled sleepily and cuddled against the warm body next to him. 'I love you too..'




Okay people. I was going to start the plot in this chapter..But Syitz was saying she wouldn't be able to take it if I left another cliffy. So I figured what the hell, so Ill start the main stuff tomorrow okay? Well maybe not tomorrow but in the next chapter.

This was angsty. But the main crap will probably be more angsty......Or at least angsty for a little longer then this....If that makes any sense at all? lol
