Fruits Basket Fan Fiction ❯ No longer alone ❯ Chapter 24 ( Chapter 24 )

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

Kuu: Yo! How's everyone been? Okay, I hope! I'm bored so I figured I may as well write chapter 24. This chapter doesn't really contain anything important so you can skip it if you want, I just gotta put a happy ending ya know? I can't end a story angsty..But I can end it happy..And start the sequel happy..then..KILL EVERYONE! HAHAHAHAHA

Okay.. So I'm not killing anyone but there will be angst!! Fear not! The Angst Shall Live On! ((Waves fist in the air triumphantly)) Lol. Anywho, enjoy?

"I've been thinking." Ayame stated seriously, setting his tea quietly down on the table so his full attention would be on the dog in front of him. Shigure, who'de been just been carelessly sitting there (Like he usually does) gave the hebi a questioning look.

"And what have you been thinking?" He asked, truly curious. He loved Ayame, he really did. But it wasn't everyday that the long-haired man acted serious, or even admitted that he used his brain. This could be really important!

Ayame was quiet for a moment, seeming as though his thoughts were truly troubling him.

"Well. I can't really find the answer in my mind. I mean..They both fit..Kind of." He muttered more to himself then to Shigure.

"What? What can't you find the answer to?" Shigure urged, trying to extract an answer from the man. Ayame looked up.

"Who do you think the uke in Haru and Kyo's relationship is?" He wondered outloud.

Time seemed to stop as the loudmouthed snake blurted the question out rather carelessly, it seemed to echo through the house. Everything was quiet. Even the birds outside had ceased chirping amongst themselves as the tension of the question set in. They all waited impatiently for an answer.

Shigure quirked a brow at the snake. 'Well..That was odd.' He thought to himself. But, he could understand where Aya was coming from, he'd caught himself thinking about that particular question earlier. Why? He didn't know. Pervs just think about stuff like that.

"I honestly don't know, what do you think?" He asked.

Ayame fidgeted for a moment. "I'm not really sure. I mean...Haru seems to be the more possessive and dominant one, but, on the other hand..Kyo is also the one that always kicks Haru's ass..." He trailed off prudently. Shigure nodded at the observation.

"Yeah you have a point there..Or we could just assume by their zodiac forms...Kyo's the cat and Haru's the cow. Hmmm..So that would make Kyo the pussy and Haru would have the beef.......Sound about right??" He asked with an amused grin.

Ayame brightened. "Oh Gure, you do have a point! What would I do without your incredible iquiries?" He beamed. "Although..I still want to know for sure." He stated.

"Well here's your chance." Shigure stated, looking ahead. There was a sound of someone descending down the stairs, and since Yuki and Tohru were gone, and they were pretty sure they saw Haru leave earlier..Then it had to be Kyo. And as they though, after a few moments of waiting, they saw a patch of orange walk straight past the room they were in.

"Kyooo! Come here for a sec!" Shigure called.

A moment later, Kyo's head poked around the corner, giving them a curious look.

"Come in here we're not gonna molest you or anything." Ayame stated certainly, giving him a serious look.

Kyo arched a brow and reluctantly stepped into the room and stood in front of the table akwardly. Frankly, he was a little cautious now that he was in there. He probably wouldn't have been if Ayame hadn't mentioned something like that..It just made him feel suspicious. So, he just stood there quietly, with his arms crossed over his chest, waiting for them to continue.

5 minutes went by in utter silence as Shigure and Ayame stared blankly at the cat. Which was beginning to get a little unnerving, the silence alone was bad enough. It seemed as if Shigure was waiting for Ayame to speak, since he shot the snake a glance about every 13 seconds. (Not that he was counting.) And Ayame seemed to be deep in thought as to what he would say.

Finally Ayame sighed and figured there wasn't really any other way to ask so..

"Kyo, between you and Haru, who's the uke?" He asked, as if there was nothing unoridinary about the question.

"WHAT????" Kyo screamed at the top of his lungs, a blush making its way to his face.

Ayame arched a brow curiously. Maybe Kyo didn't know what he was talking about?

"Hmm..Let me rephrase." He said, and went about thinking of another approach. Kyo glared at the dog like it was his fault, then looked at Aya like he was a big pink poodle. He felt as if his eyes were about to pop out of his head. Did they really just asked him that..? He was still to shocked at their noseyness to get mad..

"Kyo." Shigure cut it, finally deciding to talk. "What he means is, who plays catcher?" He asked.

"I KNOW WHAT HE MEANT YOU STUPID DOG, SHUTUP!" He screamed, obviously not willing to answer. Both of the older men flinched at the cats yelling.

"Maaa, Kyo. It's nothing to be shy about, it was a simple question.." Shigure pouted. Ayame nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, we were just curious."

Kyo now took the time to get irritated with them since the initial shock of the question was fading. "I'm not shy, it's just none of your business!" He scolded before sitting down at the table with his two perverted cousins. Maybe some tea would calm him down?

They sat in a complete, yet comfortable silence for about 10 minutes, much to Kyo's appreciation. Maybe he'd actually gotten through to them? 'Psh, yeah right..And pigs can fly.' He snorted to himself.

Yet, he still turned to look out the window.

Nope.

No pigs..

And the world didn't seem like it was ending either!

'Wow....' He thought, but as soon as the thought came it went, because Ayame decided to ruin it and speak.

"Ohh I know!" He stated suddenly, looking over to the inu. "Maybe they take turns!"

Shigure looked at him, bringing his hand to rest on his chin thoughtfully. He was quiet for a moment, as if silently processing the idea.

"You may be right." He retorted, seemingly immune to the dark glare being pointed in his direction by the fuming cat.

"DAMNIT I SAID SHUTUP! STOP THAT!" He demanded. Ayame and Shigure didn't even look at him as they continued their conversation, it was almost as it they didn't hear him screaming at the at the top of his lungs.

"Yeah but no matter what answer we come up with..I just can't imagine a hot, naked and sweaty Kyo beneath an equally hot, naked and sweaty Haru, panting and begging for release...." Shigure stated thoughtfully, handing Ayame a tissue to wipe the small stream of blood now dripping from his nose, thanks to the mental image. Throughout their little conversation neither seemed to notice the looming shadow that was standing behind them..

"I sure hope you're not thinking about the same hot, naked Kyo I am."

Ayame and Shigure froze, looking at each other with horrified expressions. They slowly turned around to look behind them.

"Ohh..Eheheh.. Haa-kun welcome back.." Shigure chuckled innocently. "We were just having some tea.." Ayame nodded, and quickly picked up his glass to drink the now cold liquid. Haru arched a brow at his cousins rigid appearance. Was he really that scary when it came to Kyo..?

'Well, I take that back.' He thought to himself for a moment. I didnt remember everything that had happened when he went Black that time, but he did remember a few things. And one of those things were the looks of horror he'd gotten from family members after he'd gotten done with Akito. And he hadn't even done that much..Only broken a few bones, that wasn't so bad was it..?

"-ne, Haru?" Ayame finished, grinning. Haru looked at the snake for a moment. "Yeah..I wasn't even listening to a word you just said.." He drawled boredly, then looked over to the redhead, who was silently fuming at the table still.

"Kyo, come with me." He told the cat, gesturing him to take his hand. Kyo eyed the cow suspiciously for a moment. Realizing there was no hint of Black Haru, and no signs of hidden mischief he took the cows hand and allowed himself to be pulled out of his seat and out the backdoor.

Shigure and Ayame watched as Haru pulled Kyo out of the dining room. Of course not before looking over his shoulder and giving his two older cousins an evil smirk that said: 'We'll talk about this later.' which of course, in Black Haru terms meant: 'You better hide.'

Shigure and Ayame sweatdropped.

"Haru's definatley the seme.." They stated simultaneously.

Once they were on the porch, Kyo looked at Haru, wondering why he had been brought outside. Haru however, had zoned out and was now staring blankly at the trees in the backyard.

'Big surprise there.' he thought to himself. How could Haru be so laid back all the time? He acted like nothing in the world mattered to him at all, it was kind of admirable in a way..Unless you're sitting there waiting for him to tell you why he drug you outside and instead he zones out completely............

Kyo twitched at the thought.

He was drawn out of his thoughts by a hand waving in front of his face. He blinked and looked at the ox, who was looking at him in amusement.

"You shouldn't zone out like that kitten, I brought you here for a reason.." He told him with a little smile. Kyo huffed and crossed his arms over his chest.

"You're one to talk." He mumbled under his breath. Haru tilted his head to the side in question, but when he didn't recieve an answer he shrugged it off.

"I got you something." He told him. "I just hope you'll like it."

Kyo looked at him in confusion for a moment. Haru 'got him something'? Why did he have a really bad feeling about this..? Knowing Haru..He probably went off and bought him a collar to force him to wear or something.. 'Or even worse! He could have gotten-'

His thoughts were abruptly cut off as something fuzzy was practically shoved in his face. Kyo took a moment to focus on what the ox was holding in front of him. It was..A kitten? Kyo blinked a few times as it playfully batted at his face. Wait, what?

"I figured since we can't have kids, I'de go for the next best thing." Haru replied, letting Kyo take the feline out of his hands. Kyo just stared at the kitten with an unreadable expression. It was black, with white blotches on it's face, chest and feet, which made it's orange eyes even more appealing.

"See? He's even got your eyes." Haru pointed out, tapping the kitten on its nose. Kyo continued to look at the kitten in his arms. It was so.....Cute.. He'd never gotten a real gift before. Yeah, he got crap from people he didn't know at school occasionally, but he usually just threw it away. This was by far the best thing he'd ever recieved before. Kyo looked at the ox and gave him an amused grin.

"Yeah, but he's got your hair." He stated, trying to keep a straight face. Haru looked at the cat for a moment. He obviously hadn't realized that.

"Whoa. You're right." He deadpanned. "Aww. He's so snuggly!" He said running and hand through the kittens dark fur. Kyo nodded in agreement.

"Thank you." He said softy, placing a light kiss on the white haired teens lips.

"I'de do anything just to see that little smile of yours." He admitted, flushing slightly at his statement. He wasn't really the mushy type. Usually.....He cleared his throat.

"So. What are you gonna call em?" He asked. Kyo thought for a moment, studying the cat. He recalled Haru's statement about him being snuggly.

"I'll call him Nuku." He stated scratching him behind the ears gently, earning him a cute little purr. Haru nodded and smiled.

After eating lunch..Or trying to eat lunch. They informed Shigure that they were going to be keeping the cat, of course he wasn't very happy about it..But Haru had very powerful ways of persuasion, to which, of course the dog succumbed. Then they spent about an hour, waiting for Tohru to stop hugging and squeaking about how cute the little cat was.

"Tohru, I dont think he can breath" Haru had told her. She looked at the cat in horror for a moment, making sure it was, in fact, still alive. She reluctantly handed Nuku over to Kyo, who gladly accepted it. He was already attached to the little cat. He really did love cats, he just didn't like it when they showed up in the middle of a bad situation......

So now they were laying on the roof, looking at the sky. Kyo had reluctantly left his new friend in his room out of fear he'd fall off the roof.

"Jeez. I wouldn't have gotten you that cat if I knew it would steal you away from me." Haru sulked, laying down next to the redhead. Kyo gave him an exasperated look.

"I dunno, I guess I just like how it feels to be given something so nice." He sighed, scooting closer to the ox. "Don't be jealous." He demanded. Haru chuckled and relaxed.

"Well I'm glad, but a word of advice. Do your best to keep Tohru from getting him in another one of those death grips." He said bitterly. "Better yet, you should just keep him in our room..Since there's a chance he might kill one of Yuki's rats..Or get pummeled by one of Shigures dogs. Either way it would be a mess." Kyo just nodded and snuggled against the tallers boy body.

"You're snuggly" He mumbled, relaxing. They lay like that for a while, watching the sun set behind the horizon. Kyo dozing off as Haru absently twirled a piece of red hair around his fingers. It was truly peaceful.

"Haru?" Kyo suddenly asked, sitting up.

"Hm?" Came the ox's reply.

"Do you think Akito is gonna do anything else?" He wondered. Haru was quiet for a moment before answering.

"I dont know." He replied, unsurely. "There's no doubt that he'll try something else. We'll just have to be expecting it. I won't let him hurt you again, I promise." He reassured him, wrapping his arms around the older boy.

"Well..I'm beat. I'm goin' to bed." Haru stated, standing up. "You comin'?" He grinned innocently at the neko. Kyo nodded and layed back down.

"I'll be there in a few." He told him. Haru gave him a grunt in acknowledgment and turned toward the ladder. Kyo watched as the white haired boy disappeared over the edge of the roof and smiled.

Is this what if felt like to have a happy ending..?


The End.
..for now..

Well. For those of you who wanted a happy ending, is this good enough for you? I hope so..Because..Uh I couldnt' think of anything else, so it's humorous and happy! Tehee.
