Love And War

Chapter 1

----

Kyou was sitting on the roof again. It was obvious, to everyone who knew Kyou that it was from another fight with Yuki. It was also very obvious that he had lost by the way he was cursing and yelling. Yuki is Kyou's cousin and number one enemy, besides Haru ^_^

----

[Kyou's POV]

//That damn rat makes me so mad. Always acting so calm and superior.//

He stomped around the roof making a lot of noise. Locating a stray piece of wood beside his foot he kicked it as hard as he could off of the roof. Unfortunately Shigure was right in the path of fire and got hit squarely in the face. Kyou paused as he heard Shigure's shout of pain. He growled cringing slightly at his stupidity.

//That could have been Tohru. It's getting to the point where I don't know if I can even stand it anymore. I know Tohru cares about me but we can't even hug.//

As this thought crossed Kyou's mind he sighed heavily. He slowly sunk down to lay on the hot roof. Kyou shivered slightly from the contrast of heat on the roof and the coolness of the breeze on his skin.

//Why was I born the cat in the zodiac? I am shunned wherever I go. I know Yuki hates me, and I hate him, but maybe not so much as I did before. I love battling with Yuki but…. I'm also very tired. I thought maybe it would go away eventually but it hasn't. It's this… deep strain in my soul. I can't take being here anymore. Not when I know I can't beat Yuki, the damn rat, not when I can't…. HELL why am I thinking these depressing thoughts??//

He slammed his fist down on the roof in frustration and sighed again. Why couldn't things be easy for him just once?

----

[Yuki's POV]

Yuki heard everything that had gone on after his fight with Kyou. He even heard Shigure's cries of pain. But he was really too sad to acknowledge anything or even care in the least bit. His heart ached from his verbal and physical battle with Kyou. He never wanted things to get this bad between them. In fact he hadn't wanted them to get bad at all. Yuki was in love with Kyou but couldn't reveal his feelings, after all the baka neko hated his guts; Kyou hated everything about Yuki. Every time they fought Yuki could feel each piece of his heart shatter. But he kept his stonewalls up blocking all the pain from sight; he couldn't show how much it hurt him.

//I always end up winning but my heart's never into it. I wish he felt the same. Maybe then we could be together….//

This thought made Yuki give a deep sigh.

//Maybe I'll just go take a nap…//

Yuki gave an angry toss of his head trying to clear the image away of all the dreams he'd been having of Kyou.

//I can't think of him like that anymore. He just hates me and I have to accept it. I feel like if we have just one more fight I'll break in two. Maybe I should leave here.. I'm not doing anyone any good.//

Another sigh escaped Yuki's lips.

//How lonely sleeping by yourself can be//

He thought as he curled around his pillow fighting to swallow the pain the vibrated deep within his soul.

[Brief Intermission]

Let's take a look at how Shigure's doing since no one seems to really care about the wounded man. ^_^

[Shigure's POV]

* Groan * //Why am I lying on the ground?? Why does my head hurt so badly?//

"AHHHH! HOW'D I GET DRUNK? WHO SPIKED THE SAKE HUH? WHO DID IT???"

//Oh wait... I got hit with a flying piece of wood. Maybe it was from heaven. Did the angels want to get me drunk?//

"THEY MUST HAVE SEDUCED ME!!!! >_< I WANT SOME ANGEL BOOTAY!!!!"

//Ohh my head really hurts. o0o Hello little birdies! Where'd you come from??//

* Fall * * groan * //my head...//

And that is enough of Shigure, he's so perverted ^_^

----

[Kyou's POV]

Kyou shuddered uncontrollably as another gust of wind hit his bare arms.

//Why I am still out here?//

He groaned realizing how cold it was. Kyou was still half asleep as he climbed down from the roof. He was grateful, for once, that he had his cat senses or else he would have broken something. Still guided by sleep Kyou entered Yuki's room by the window. Not really taking notice about the placement of the bed Kyou stumbled slightly but eventually came upon it. He welcomed the warmth of Yuki's body not even wondering about it. Kyou fell asleep once more, this time with his arms wrapped around Yuki.

----

[Yuki's POV]

Yuki heard Kyou come through his window and awoke immediately thinking that the neko was thinking to attack him. As Kyou stumbled through his room Yuki thought he was an idiot not to notice the bed with his cat eyes. Nothing had prepared Yuki for the situation at hand though. Kyou's cold body had sent a shock through Yuki when it first touched him. His arm burned where Kyou's freezing arm had grazed it. Kyou had wrapped himself around Yuki and as soon as he was settled he sighed completely content and fell asleep. Looking at Kyou's serene features Yuki wondered what it would be like to kiss him to be held like this every night. His heart ached as he realized Kyou would never feel the same. To distract his mind he tried to contemplate how to get out of this situation by morning. He thought it would be wise he if moved out of Kyou's sleepy embrace, as much as he was enjoying it he didn't want to get into a fight with Kyou; but whenever he tried to move Kyou's grip just got tighter. Yuki thought he heard him mumble "stupid pillow" but he wasn't sure. After 30 minutes of struggling Yuki decided to just relax and enjoy the feel of Kyou holding him.

//This time it isn't a dream// he thought happily snuggling closer to the one he loved.

//I hope he doesn't overreact when he wakes up....//

The thought faded from his mind as he yawned, his amethyst eyes slowly drifting shut to the peaceful abyss of sleep.

----

[Kyou's POV]

Kyou slowly opened his eyes becoming aware of his surroundings. This definitely didn't look, or smell, like his room. Kyou rubbed his nose against his pillow.

//This isn't my pillow//.

He slowly looked down at what he was sleeping with and saw it was Yuki.

"AHHHHHH!" He yelled as he jumped out of the bed. "What the hell?!?!? How? Damn it!" Kyou stomped out of the room and slammed Yuki's bedroom door shut in agitation.

----

[Yuki's POV]

Yuki was awake before Kyou and smiling contently until Kyou had to go and shout in his ear. He felt Kyou jump out of bed and stomp out of his room. He cringed as the door slammed and he heard more obscenities coming from Kyou's room.

//Well that went better than I thought it would. * sigh * Why can't life ever be easy?//

YaY! That's the end of Chapter 1! I think O.o yes I worked my butt off! Well sort of. Hmm… Tell me if you like it enough to go onto Chapter 2, otherwise I will write it off as a failure.
