Kuu: Meeep I know that in the manga it turns out that akito is really a chick or something. but with an exception of the reference to Haru all the details concerning the anime is from the actual cartoon series not the manga manga. Just so you all know.. I got a few statements asking if I was aware of a few things in the manga, and I am. But this is a fanfic, so it doesn't really matter because i'de do what I want anyway..Ehehe I also noticed that my chapters are really short..So I'm trying my best to make them a little longer..ehehe
Anywho.......I couldn't decide what I wanted to do with this chapter, It took me forever to just THINK of what to do..Then to write it. THEN to type it..There's a little conflict, nothin big, I'll try to get some fluff in there if I get to it which means there will be a little bit of OOCness, but not much more then I've used.. Of course you guys don't mind, ne? n.n Don't worry, I'll do my best to make sure it's not so bad it's sickening. Sometimes I dont like when fics are overly fluffy.. Like when they make Haru and Kyo seem like Ayame and Shigure?
Kyo: Haru..I..I love you so much I just can't bare it any longer I just feel the need to announce it to the world!!
Haru: Oh Kyo! I couldn't possibly agree more! I wouldnt be able to live with myself if I couldn't hold you in my arms!
Kyo: Eheh..Lets hold hands and utterly enjoy eachothers company for eternity!
Haru: Oh oh! And then we can go and cuddle while acting competely out of character!
Kyo: Yay!
KUU: Oh god..The horror of overly OOC FLUFFINESS!! [Commits suicide]
Kyo stirred restlessly in his sleep, groggily returning to the land of the waking much to his disappointment. He just wanted to sleep, so he didn't have to deal with all the emotions that were constantly bombarding his train of thought.
He shifted again, enjoying the warmness of the blanket wrapped around him. He could feel the warm light from the un shining over his body through the window nearby, his eyes slowly adjusting to the brightness as it penetrated his eyelids.
Wait....Warmth? Sunlight? He was comfortable..?
Something wasn't right here. He vaguely remembered being in complete darkness before he lost conciousness. And the cold, it was so cold, and that was also during daylight hours. Was that a dream..?
No. A dream couldn't have had that much of an affect on him..A dream couldn't be so frightening. The pain he'd felt was definately real. It was unbearable. Unlike physical pain, which he could endure..That was completely different. He could still feel the terror gripping his heart, although he couldn't remember it exactly.
'What happened..?' He asked himself in utter confusion, still giving off the image of sleep, although he inside he was wide awake. He absently furrowed his brows as he tried to think back to the events. He remembered three men..They were family members for sure, not important enough to ever have remembered their names..He remembered being in the darkness..Alone. He was sure there was something else..Something big he was leaving out..
'It's a pity, I almost hate to scar such a beautiful face..' Kyo tensed at the thought.That's what it was..Akito had taken him..
'lock him up.' The sadistic sound of the heads cold voice had spoken in pure enjoyment.
Gasping, Kyo jerked into a sitting position. Pain shot immediately from his head and down through his shoulders. A dull pain, almost a burning sensation; spread throughout his chest, causing his breath to catch in his throat.
In a panic, the bewildered neko tried to take in his surroundings, but his vision was so blurred he couldn't make anything out, which of course made him want to panic even more. He blinked a few times and attempted to calm his erratic breathing, trying to convince himself there was nothing to be panicking about.
The sound of a door clicking shut drew him from his thoughts. His heart rate grew faster and faster as the anonymous blurred figure approached him slowly.
"You're awake" Came the quiet voice.
Kyo tried to focus on the figure but his vision just wouldn't clear. The tears of panic and frustration building in his eyes didn't prove to help much either.. He looked at the figure again..He could see he had somewhat shaggy, dark hair..And he could clearly see pale skin as a hand reached out to him. Kyo's eye widened as the figure drew closer.There was only one person in his mind that matched that discription
'Akito..?' He wondered to himself, trying to keep his hands from shaking. But why would Akito be back..Unless he wasn't done..
"Kyo?" It was the voice again, this time with a hint of concern.
Kyo violently jerked away from the hand when it came in contact with shoulder. He backed as far awat as he could..But He just came closer and grabbed him again. Kyo could heard a mumbled voice talking, not yelling or screaming at him..It was calm. But he couldn't tell what he was saying or who was saying it. He was to busy screaming himself and trying to get out of the others grasp.
----------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------
Yuki attempted to hold the panic-stricken redhead down as he waited for him to calm down.
Like he'd promised Haru, he stayed by Kyo's side. But he'd gone to get something to eat, and when he returned the cat was sitting up and lookinh as confused as ever. But what surprised him even more was the look of pure terror Kyo had given him when he entered the room.
Naturally, Yuki approached him, and saw how he was shaking. So in order to give him some kind of comfort he reached out to lay his hand reassuringly on the nekos shoulder. Which led to his current situation as he was practically sitting on kyo, holding his shoulders down to keep him from thrashing.
"Kyo..Calm down!" He all but yelled. But the the cat was beyond comprehension. 'Does he even realize he's in his own bed..?'
"Let me go!! Haven't you hurt me enough already?" Kyo wailed, attempting to push the boy off of him. "What more do you want!" Yuki gaped at the redhead for a moment, then realization hit him. Kyo obviously thought he was Akito..
Kyo flinched when he felt himself get pulled into a tight embrace. He struggled for a moment before relaxing into the perosn holding him, all feelings of fear and panic suddenly fleeing from his body. He hesitantly opened an eye to inspect the person in front of him..The scent was familiar..But it wasn't one that he was particularly fond of being around..Was it really..
"...Yuki..?" Kyo asked incredulously. Yuki released the fiery teen just as quickly as he'd hugged him, flushed. He gave him a harmless glare.
"Baka. Look what you did. Your wound has reopened." He admonished, pointing at the new bloodstain on his white shirt, as if trying to imply that he was more upset about the shirt then him.
Kyo brought a hand up to touch the temporary wrapping on his chest, ignoring the blood now seeping through it. He looked up at the rat, who was still sitting on his legs questioningly. But the door opened before he could get an actual question in.
Hatori arched a brow at his younger cousins postions as he took a step into the room. "What happened?" As asked. Yuki got up and stepped aside, shrugging nonchalantly.
"He just woke up and freaked out, but he's fine. But, you should probably check the gash in his chest first though..It's gushing again." He pointed out.
Kyo stayed as still and quiet as possible while the doctor checked him out. He cleaned up his chest first, stating he'd need six or seven stitches since it was 'too deep to heal on it's own'. Then he cleaned the small cut on his left cheek and covered it. Kyo quickly took it off though. He couldn't stand being able to see the whiteness sticking out in the corner of his vision.
Hatori was currently inspecting the large bruise long the cats ribcage. "Tell me if his hurts." He ordered as he applied pressure to the area around the bruise causing the cat to gasp.
Kyo winced and glared at the dragon. "Of course it HURTS! Otherwise there wouldn't be a bruise there..What the hell kind of doctor are you anyway?"
Ignoring the whining teen, Hatori finished up by wrapping a bandage tightly around the boys midsection, feeling quite uncomfortable under the teens inquiring stare. Kyo attempted to refrain himself from asking..But you know as the saying goes..'Curiosity killed the cat.'
"Hatori..What the hell happened to your face?" He questioned, only to recieve a glare. The dragon quickly stood and began putting his supplies back into his bag.
"Just rest. I believe you've got a couple of broken ribs, so you'll be sore. And try not to move around to much, you may risk re-opening the stitches. I'll remove them on my next visit if your wounds have healed enough by then. If the pain gets to be to much, take the medicine that I've given to Shigure." He stated flatly and opened the door to leave.
"Are you saying I can't walk around??" The neko asked angrily. The dragon game him a detached look.
"No, I'm saying no sex." He drawled. Kyo flushed at the statement. 'Did he really just say that..outloud..?'
"Oii! I knew you were some kind of a perv!" He accused loudly, but the man had already closed the door.
------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------
Shigure perked up when the dragon entered the room.
"So, how's the damage?" He asked. Hatori sighed, lighting a cigarette.
"Kyo's got a few broken ribs and some cuts and bruises, nothing too serious..I was actually fearing much worse, knowing Akito. He seems okay though." He explained, taking a drag.
"And Haru?" Hatori remained silent for a moment.
"He has lacerations on his wrists and forearms. All of the cuts that were previously healed on his hand were also opened again. He's also got a severly sprained ankle, not to mention a high fever from running around in the rain and staying in his wet clothes for so long.." He sighed. "But what I'm really concerned about is his mental state after all that's happened."
"I wouldn't worry about that, Haa-kun just felt threatened and he didn't know how to handle all of his anger, that's all. Besides, it's not like he's stuck that way, he reverted back to White once we got here."
"Oh. That's good.." Hatori sighed in relief. Being the family doctor sucked in situations like this.
------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----
Kyo and Yuki sat in silence for a good 15 minutes. The redhead was idly wondering why Yuki was still just sitting there...
The neko shifted uncomfortably as he glanced at the rat who was sitting, cross-armed, in the chair beside his bed. Yuki was the first to speak.
"You're lucky." He stated, looking at his feet. Kyo didn't say anything, since he was confused and had know clue at what the rat was getting at.
"He really loves you." He added, looking up. Amethyst met Ruby. "It's painfully obvious..I mean..After all he went though just to get you back..Not giving up when everyone was trying to stop him."
Kyo reeled. What was this..? Yuki's eyes were full of some wierd emotion he'd never seen!
"Maybe I really was stupid to push him away like I did. I wonder if he would have done that for me if things were different.." He wondered aloud.
Kyo was speechless. Was Yuki..Jealous? Did Yuki actually feel something towards Haru? Fancy that! ..But speaking of Haru..He still had no idea what was going on. So..Ignoring the fact that Yuki was daydreaming about his boyfriend..
"Yuki, what happened anyway?" Kyo asked as nicely as he could. Yuki thought for a moment before answering. (A/N: Reflecting time!)
"Well. Haru showed up here really early in the morning, I don't know how he knew but you were gone." He sighed running a hand through his hair. "But..From what I heard, Kagura is the one that told Akito in the first place." He paused when he saw the pained look on the redheads face. Kyo took a deep breath.
"..And?"
"Well..To make a long story short, Haru snapped. He went Black and pummeled anyone who got in his way.."
'Well..That would explain Hatori..' Kyo mused.
"From how I see it..I think he'd originally planned to just seek out Akito..Which he did in the end and..Uh, let's say 'convinced' him to tell him where he was keeping you.." Yuki continued. "But I don't think he'd planned on actually running into Kagura while he was there. I mean, he was being controlled by his anger..And since she caused this, he had more hatred for her then he even had for Akito himself. I'm pretty sure that if I hadn't shown up when I did, he probably would have killed her too."
Kyo was in awe..Well yeah he was shocked to all hell too..And he felt a pain tugging at him as the thought of Kagura betraying him like, but he could understand. He was born and raised ready to endure it. Kagura didn't really care for him anyway, and he knew that. He felt a small smile grace his features.
But Haru cared so much that he'd actually risked everything to save him from the hell he'd been forced into..There was no way he could possibly compensate for that kind of sacrifice..Yuki was right, he was damn lucky.
"Uh...Are you okay?" Yuki asked akwardly, waving a hand in front of the boys face. Kyo blinked and looked at the rat.
"Huh..?"
"Uh. You're crying." He deadpanned. Flustered, Kyo quickly brought a hand up to wipe away the stray tears. He'd forgotten Yuki was there.........
'Ugh. What am I? Some kinda girl..?'
"Hey Ratboy, where's Haru now?" He questioned.
"He's in my room. He passed out a little while after we got here..That was the day before yesterday. He still hasn't woken up, you were out for a whole day too." He drawled."But anyway, he's going to be staying here since he got kicked out of the main house." Yuki informed him, pointing to the bads Hatori had dropped off on his way out. "We assumed you wouldn't mind."
'Well..You know what Assuming does..' Kyo thought bitterly. But..They were right, he definately didn't mind.
Giving Yuki a curt nodd, Kyo began to pull himself from his bed, wincing slightly as he felt his muscles tug at his stitches.
"H-hey, what are you doing??" Yuki asked, jumping up from his seat.
"I'm goin' downstairs, what's it look like? I can't just sit here all day like a lazy ass and I'm hungry." Kyo stated as he limped past the rat. "And wipe that concerned look off your face, you're acting like a grandma." He cackled, walking out of his room and into the hallway.
--------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yuki walked into the kitchen mumbling something about 'stupid arrogant cats' and 'always being a smartass.'
"Hey Yuki, how's Kyo? He's awake, right?" Tohru asked worriedly. She'd decided she would avoid Haru and Kyo since she was really clumsy and didn't want to accidently make them transform while they were injured.
"Eh? Didn't Kyo come in here..?" Yuki asked in confusion.
"No? He hasn't been downstairs yet." She told him, shrugging.
Kyo placed a new, cool rag on the sleeping boys forehead while complaining to no one in particular.
"And who goes off and gets themself sick anyway? Only complete idiots do that" He scolded, but as hard as he tried, he couldn't bring himself to sound angry. Sighing in defeat, he took his seat next to the bed and opted for sitting quietly to watch the rhythmic rise and fall of the sleeping boys chest as he slumbered.
"Who woulda thought you actually looked so innocent while you're passed out." He snorted, brushing a stubborn strand of hair out of his face. He let his gaze drop down to the boys arm, as it lay limp at his side. His forearm was completely covered in white wrapping. Kyos mind wandered back to what Yuki was telling him before.
He absently ran his fingers over the bandages, and turned to look at the boys sleeping face again..
"Oh Kyo! Are you crying????" A loud voice practically boomed in his ear.
"UAGHH!" Kyo screeched and jumped up, pointing an accusing finger at the smirking dog.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING SNEAKING UP ON ME LIKE THAT!?" He screamed. "ARE YOU TRYING TO GIVE ME A HEART ATTACK!?"
"Aw! You were! Your eyes are all red." Shigure teased.
"No I'm not! My eyes are watery from lack of blinking!" He retorted. "Now answer my question!"
Shigure blinked innocently. "Well..I didn't sneak......I even knocked. You were just to busy starting at Haa-kun like a stalker to notice my presance." He grinned.
"I'm not some perverted stalker like you! You..You- GET OUT!" he snapped back.
"okay okay, jeez." Shigure pouted and closed the door behind him. Kyo sighed and sat back down. He folded his arms on the bed and rested his head on them. Knowing that Haru was there with him, he drifted to sleep.
=========================================================== ======================
Okay guys. I know it wasn't a great chapter..But oh well. It's almost over anyway, there's gonna be a couple more..2 or 3 i'm not sure? Cuz I still gotta add Kagura in here one more time so I can use the other part in the sequel. Plus this one thing Me and Morbid flower were talking about..Which reminds me..What was that name we chose again?? >.< I'm to lazy to dig through my email...
And by the way, I know and I'm sorry that my story is so cliche. you people will just have to forgive me and my lack of creativity okay? You don't need to tell me in reviews how many times you've seen the same thing happen..Because frankly..I tried to make this fic as appealing as I could. And I tried.
Anywho.......I couldn't decide what I wanted to do with this chapter, It took me forever to just THINK of what to do..Then to write it. THEN to type it..There's a little conflict, nothin big, I'll try to get some fluff in there if I get to it which means there will be a little bit of OOCness, but not much more then I've used.. Of course you guys don't mind, ne? n.n Don't worry, I'll do my best to make sure it's not so bad it's sickening. Sometimes I dont like when fics are overly fluffy.. Like when they make Haru and Kyo seem like Ayame and Shigure?
Kyo: Haru..I..I love you so much I just can't bare it any longer I just feel the need to announce it to the world!!
Haru: Oh Kyo! I couldn't possibly agree more! I wouldnt be able to live with myself if I couldn't hold you in my arms!
Kyo: Eheh..Lets hold hands and utterly enjoy eachothers company for eternity!
Haru: Oh oh! And then we can go and cuddle while acting competely out of character!
Kyo: Yay!
KUU: Oh god..The horror of overly OOC FLUFFINESS!! [Commits suicide]
¿Chapter 22?
(This is for all you Yuki lovers who flamed me for being mean to him..Well okay..It's really not i just have to start building this up so it will go right in the sequel.)Kyo stirred restlessly in his sleep, groggily returning to the land of the waking much to his disappointment. He just wanted to sleep, so he didn't have to deal with all the emotions that were constantly bombarding his train of thought.

"Hey Yuki, how's Kyo? He's awake, right?" Tohru asked worriedly. She'd decided she would avoid Haru and Kyo since she was really clumsy and didn't want to accidently make them transform while they were injured.
"Eh? Didn't Kyo come in here..?" Yuki asked in confusion.
"No? He hasn't been downstairs yet." She told him, shrugging.
Kyo placed a new, cool rag on the sleeping boys forehead while complaining to no one in particular.
"And who goes off and gets themself sick anyway? Only complete idiots do that" He scolded, but as hard as he tried, he couldn't bring himself to sound angry. Sighing in defeat, he took his seat next to the bed and opted for sitting quietly to watch the rhythmic rise and fall of the sleeping boys chest as he slumbered.
"Who woulda thought you actually looked so innocent while you're passed out." He snorted, brushing a stubborn strand of hair out of his face. He let his gaze drop down to the boys arm, as it lay limp at his side. His forearm was completely covered in white wrapping. Kyos mind wandered back to what Yuki was telling him before.
He absently ran his fingers over the bandages, and turned to look at the boys sleeping face again..
"Oh Kyo! Are you crying????" A loud voice practically boomed in his ear.
"UAGHH!" Kyo screeched and jumped up, pointing an accusing finger at the smirking dog.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING SNEAKING UP ON ME LIKE THAT!?" He screamed. "ARE YOU TRYING TO GIVE ME A HEART ATTACK!?"
"Aw! You were! Your eyes are all red." Shigure teased.
"No I'm not! My eyes are watery from lack of blinking!" He retorted. "Now answer my question!"
Shigure blinked innocently. "Well..I didn't sneak......I even knocked. You were just to busy starting at Haa-kun like a stalker to notice my presance." He grinned.
"I'm not some perverted stalker like you! You..You- GET OUT!" he snapped back.
"okay okay, jeez." Shigure pouted and closed the door behind him. Kyo sighed and sat back down. He folded his arms on the bed and rested his head on them. Knowing that Haru was there with him, he drifted to sleep.

Okay guys. I know it wasn't a great chapter..But oh well. It's almost over anyway, there's gonna be a couple more..2 or 3 i'm not sure? Cuz I still gotta add Kagura in here one more time so I can use the other part in the sequel. Plus this one thing Me and Morbid flower were talking about..Which reminds me..What was that name we chose again?? >.< I'm to lazy to dig through my email...
And by the way, I know and I'm sorry that my story is so cliche. you people will just have to forgive me and my lack of creativity okay? You don't need to tell me in reviews how many times you've seen the same thing happen..Because frankly..I tried to make this fic as appealing as I could. And I tried.
Anyway, PLEASE REVIEW.
