Chapter 1: Petsmart

Hatsuharu felt his lips twitching slightly, in a smile, and he squeezed Kyo's hand, as he lay back onto the grassy lawn of the park, not too far from the Sohma estate. This seemed to be the perfect place to meet, really. They couldn't actually do it INSIDE the compound, due to Akito and his egotistical declaration that Kyo couldn't enter, and Shigure's house really was too crowded. The risk of being walked in on was annoyingly high. So, they'd picked a neutral ground, and that's where we join them now. It was Saturday, and school was already over. They didn't have much homework, so there they were. The park was small, and not too crowded; so they'd figured it might be a rare opportunity of privacy. The irony only occurred to Haru for a moment about going into public to be in a more private setting.

The cat looked back at him with forced cool from where he was still sitting up. (Even though the feline in him really wanted to lie down next to the ox.) Kyo was determined not to look too mushy in public like this. Even though it was the perfect opportunity to.

No Shigure, No Yuki, No Tohru, nobody they actually knew to make fun of him. But it really just wasn't in his character to smile and gush like some silly teenager girl. Which you'll note, he's not. He's a teenage boy. He just happens to have a boyfriend, is all.

"Oh, don't give me that." Haru snorted slightly, in response to the cool look. "You know you love all the attention you get from me."

His companion's eyes narrowed a little and he returned his attention to in front of him. Though he didn't extract his hand from the other's grip. He was happy with it right there, actually.

"Shut up, Haru." He murmured and sounded more annoyed than he was. But if the ox pushed it, he would get up and leave.

"You love it." Haru smirked with satisfaction, squeezing his hand a little tighter, just to ensure that he DIDN'T leave.

Well, Kyo was the cat. Of course he loved the attention. Could one really expect otherwise? The red head still rolled his eyes though. Never ever would he admit to that. It had been hard enough getting into this little relationship thing to begin with. Haru was lucky Kyo'd finally decided he wanted to be with the ox! And that had taken even more doing than just getting it through to Kyo that he was gay. Since obviously, the cat was oblivious to his own orientation, while everyone, Tohru and Kagura included, saw it clear as day

Haru matched his eye roll, though the ox's own was filled with amusement, rather than sarcasm. Still, he knew Kyo's limits, and how far he could stretch them. He also knew not to pass that point, or he'd risk loosing said cat. So, he fell silent, at this point, deciding not to push his luck, and Kyo's patients, that day.

This decision received a reward. Of sorts. After several minutes of sitting up, in that rather uncomfortable position, Kyo flopped backwards onto the grass beside his boyfriend. He was very careful to keep his eyes upwards on the sky though. No, he wasn't going to notice how couple-like this seemed. Nope, cause he is just that stubborn.

That would have worked all fine and dandy, too. But, Haru blew any illusion that might have been there, completely away, by rolling over slightly, and placing a small, chaste kiss to the side of Kyo's neck. Well, maybe not so chaste, actually. It was quite obvious that he was trying to get Kyo to relax, somewhat, to anyone who happened to be looking their way.

Did that count as innocent, or perverted?

Kyo would go with perverted. He jerked slightly and cast another icy look upon the younger boy.

"Haru! We're in public!" He protested, though he did manage not to yell. He just hissed a little. And really, Haru didn't need to be reminded they were in public. The children and people out for walks reminded him well enough.

"So?" The ox countered with, offering him a rather lazy look. "We're less likely to be noticed here, than we are at home."

The kitty glared, he was momentarily caught for an answer. "That's completely beside the point." He finally muttered.

"Not really." Haru snorted with dry humor, kissing him again. "I think that actually WAS the point, or you're not being clear enough."

Kyo looked up at the sky. "Stop that," he tried halfheartedly. "Jackass..."

"I'll tell you what," Haru conditioned slyly. "I will, but only if you really, HONESTLY want me to."

The feline frowned at him irritably. He wasn't sure he appreciated this game, but he was determined to beat Haru at it. "Of course I do." Which wasn't a total lie. He wanted to kiss the ox, sure. He just wanted it behind a door where they could REALLY kiss.

"Alright." Haru agreed, with an only slightly dramatized sigh. He'd get Kyo alone later; he knew his cousin wouldn't argue then.

"Good," Kyo snorted. He'd known he would win.

"Can I hug you?" He half teased, though, he was mostly serious.

The cat rolled his eyes stubbornly. "Fine,"

"Good, kitty." He smirked, wrapping his arms around Kyo's neck at an unhurried pace. Few of the Sohmas went there, he was sure they wouldn't be interrupted. A small blush spread on the kitty's face. But he didn't jerk away from the ox. He really did like it. He was just too much of an ass to admit it. Haru just snickered smugly, and nuzzled into Kyo's neck, whispering something akin to a promise, involving getting some `real' alone time, once they got back to Shigure's. This furthered Kyo's blush along quite nicely. In his mind he was raging against how damn perverted Haru was too. But he liked the outside time with his boyfriend, so he relaxed a little after that. "Besides," Haru noted idly. "At least we won't have to worry about Honda-san walking in on us here."

The poor cat was going to be as red as his hair in a moment. "Haru, shut up while you're still ahead."

"Yes, sir." Haru snickered, helplessly. He wished he could take Kyo back to his room so that he could actually DO something with Kyo. Though, he was pretty damn sure the answer would be 'no', even if he tried. Kyo rested his head against the ox's shoulder warily once his snickering was done. He really needed to loosen up or Haru was going to leave him.

Well, that was a little less likely than Kyo might think. Haru was pretty content, in his most recent relationship. He honestly didn't think Kyo would leave him. It was all good. Plus, he could be patient while Kyo got used to it. He wasn't in any hurry. Besides, there was something that was bothering the ox. Something that didn't feel quite right, but that he couldn't place. It didn't FEEL like Black Haru, so he was sure that wasn't it. It just felt weird. But, he'd yet to see it as a big enough problem to actually bring up with anyone. It was probably just him being paranoid. Or, at least, saying 'I'm getting an ominous feeling in the back of my head', or something to that effect, certainly SOUNDED paranoid.

Both seem to be invalid worries at the moment. But both children still found themselves thinking about them on occasion. After a few moments though it go shoved to the back of Kyo's mind, at least, and he closed his eyes contently. Intent on enjoying himself for a minute.

For the moment being the key term, though. Or, at least that applied to Haru's concerns. The longer that went by, the more prominent that feeling got, until he really thought he SHOULD bring it up. And, who better with, than Kyo himself?

The cat blinked at his boyfriend oddly. It'd been a few weeks since their outing at the park. He hadn't noticed anything off with the ox. He felt a little bit of worry, if it was bothering the other. So, he pushed for a bit more elaboration.

"I don't know." Haru frowned, as he struggled to explain himself. "I mean, it sounds over reactive, and lame, but it just feels...wrong. Out of place, I guess."

"Over reactive sounds like an understatement, Haru." The red head attempted, in his own way, to wave it off and soothe the other's concerns.

"Maybe I'm paranoid." The ox muttered, a bit irritably. He didn't like thinking that he was so over reactive, but after Black Haru had been explained to him, maybe he really had just gotten overly aware of the changes within his mind?

Kyo whacked his head almost playfully. "You seem okay to me?" He offered.

Haru grinned weakly at him, and rubbed his struck head. "I'm not sure if it would be physically detectable, anyway." He mumbled, a bit self-consciously. "He didn't make one."

"If that's the case it's kind of retarded to worry about it." His boyfriend told him flatly.

"How do you figure that?" Haru wondered, raising an eyebrow curiously.

The red head mirrored the eyebrow. "If it has to do with your messed up brain, there's nothing you can do about it."

"I guess." He agreed with a small frown. It still bothered him, but he let it drop. Maybe it wouldn't manifest itself quite as violently, as Black Haru had, if at all. It really MIGHT just be him being paranoid, and nothing else.

Who knows? Like Kyo had said, no one was really noticing anything different in the kid. The same absent minded, calm, easily lost, idiot ox.

That would change, though. And, it did, about a week later. The change came quite suddenly, late in the afternoon. When school had let out, Haru had caught up with Kyo, and grabbed Kyo's hand in both of his own, tugging him gently, in the direction that you had to go in, to get to the main estate.

"Come home with me, today?" He requested, almost pitifully. "Please?"

"Huh?" The cat wondered unintelligently as he allowed himself to be led opposite the direction he needed to be going to get home. "What, why?"

"Just... because." Haru shrugged, when questioned. "Because I'm asking you, to."

"Uh--okay, I should tell Tohru I won't be going home, so she doesn't worry." He turned with the intent of doing just that.

Haru was more than reluctant to give up his, frankly, possessive, grip on his cousin's hand. But, he did, eventually, though; he kept a sharp eye on him, from the gate, and he watched the red head tell Tohru where he was going.

The cat just failed to tell Tohru he was going with Haru. That wouldn't be prudent. No one was supposed to know about the whole dating thing. So, he just said he was going to Kazuma's and then hustled back over to the ox.

"Thank you." Haru murmured, contented again, once Kyo was back in his grasp, pulling his older cousin off for the main house, and then into his own room. He wasn't sure, actually, if Kyo had ever been in his room, or not. The feline looked around nervously as he was pulled through the inner parts of the estate. He'd only been to that part a handful of times. And this was his premiere of his boyfriend's room.

"Haru--I don't think this is a good idea." Kyo protested a little once they were actually in the room. It was a little better now that there was a door to shut behind them. But Akito was still only a few houses away!

"Akito's usually asleep around now, anyway." Haru shrugged, flipping the lock into place, once they were inside, and going over, to half crawl onto Kyo, pinning him to the futon, placing a long, languid kiss on his lips.

Kyo let out a soft gasp and tentatively returned the offered affection to his boyfriend. Well, the door was locked... he supposed he could relax a little. But that relaxation would soon fail, when Haru refused to let him leave.

The cat gave the younger boy a slightly annoyed look. "Haru--I really shouldn't stick around here."

"He won't come in here," Haru shrugged, still pinning Kyo to his bed. "And, I'm not letting you go."

"Not letting me go?" Kyo repeated flatly.

"Right." Haru confirmed. "As in, you're not allowed to."

"I'm not your housecat, Haru." The red head bit out irritably.

"So?" Haru blinked idly at him, sitting on his stomach, straddling it. "You're still mine, and you still can't leave."

Some people might be flattered by such a possessive attitude. Kyo is not one of those people. His eyes narrowed at his boyfriend and he squirmed experimentally, judging just how much force it would take to throw the ox off him. "That would be where you're wrong,” he warned.

"Eeeh, no." Haru declined that assumption. "I would love for you to stay quietly, but I'd be happy to leash you down, like any other misbehaving animal."

Kyo bristled at that comment and clenched his jaw before deciding Haru deserved to be thrown. "Fuck you." He growled as he did that. "Jack ass..." he grumbled.

"No!" Haru protested, scrambling back over to Kyo, and straddling him again, before he could stand up. "You can't leave! Aren't you listening?"

The crimson eyes widened at him. "I fucking heard you!" He cursed angrily. "But it's not your damn call."

"Yes," The ox insisted, his eyes glimmering dangerously. "It is."

Kyo sneered at him. "Really---just what is it that's made you decide that?" He'd already heard the bull about how he was 'his'.

"You're MINE." Haru repeated stubbornly. "It wasn't a decision, just a fact."

The cat's final option was to continue rolling this time, and take his turn at pinning the ox down. "Bull shit." He stated very plainly from his place above his oddly behaving boyfriend. "You are going to stay right here, and I'm going to leave. And I'm sure as hell not talking to you again until you quite spewing this shit."

"No, you're not!" Haru protested, all but spitting the words. "You can't leave, until I tell you that you can!"

Kyo snorted at him. "We'll see about that, cow boy." He gave the ox a warning look before carefully crawling off him. He kept an eye on him; too, since he intended to leave and he was pretty sure Haru intended to stop him.

Indeed, he did. Haru's hand shot out, and caught his wrist, before he could get too far away. "No, you can't go." He repeated, frowning deeply at him. "I won't let you, you can't!"

"Just try and fucking stop me." Kyo spit, pulling on his arm and continuing on his path for the door.

"You can't go!" He stated again, moving his grip from Kyo's wrist, to his knee, wrapping both arms determinedly around it. "You're mine, and I fucking intend to keep you that way!"

The cat stared at him. "What are you two years old?" He wriggled his leg in the hopes of freeing it without harming his boyfriend.

"I refuse to loose anyone else." Haru told him matter-of-factly, tightening his arms, rather than loosening them. "So, you have a choice. You can stay of your own free will, or I'll tie you down, until you change your mind."

The feline bopped him on the head, not too hard, but he wasn't kidding either. "Haru. This is irritating. I'm kicking your ass if you don't let go."

"NO!" Haru told him adamantly, once more. Actually, had he been thinking clearly about it, he did sound an awful lot like a two year old, but he didn't really care. He just was going to make sure his kitten didn't leave before he was goddamned ready for him to.

"Then you better get out the damn rope cause I'm not staying quietly." The cat hissed and kicked his leg in order to begin working away from the ox again.

"I told you, no!" Haru insisted, wrapping his legs around Kyo's ankles, as he started to reach under his bed, to get the rope. However, that really wasn't as effective as he'd hoped it would be. Because Kyo was able to just step out of his hold, and mosey on along, before he could get his arms back in place. Well, just went to show him what he got for hiding the rope.

Despite Kyo getting out of his hold the cat still had to get out of the room then the house. When he was unlocking the door was when he felt the first of the rope actually on him.

"Holy shit! Haru, don't you dare!" He warned, getting a little into the panicky state. Who wouldn't be? His boyfriend was going psycho and about to tie him up!

"I TOLD you that I'd tie you down," Haru reminded him, wrapping the rope around Kyo's ankles, almost gently. He had more for his wrists, but this would start. "You really should learn to listen, when someone gives you a warning."

Kyo stared at him. He couldn't exactly move without falling over now that his ankles were tied together. Unless he wanted to hop. But that really wouldn't make for good escaping.

"Haru--" he protested. "Just let me leave, god damn!" He thought vaguely about yelling. But one: they were at Haru's house, no one would hear, and two: he didn't want to be seen like this!

"Nope." Haru shook his head, sounding much calmer, now that Kyo was in his control again.

Is there a direct correlation between Haru's calm and Kyo's upset? Yes. The more under Haru's control Kyo was, the less happy Kyo was.

"Get that shit away from me." He growled and batted helplessly at the rope when the ox came to tie it around his wrists.

"Nope." He repeated, carefully helping Kyo sit down, so that he wouldn't run the risk of tripping and dying, before continuing with his cousin's wrists. The cat frowned once his wrists were bound, and his very first action was to raise it up to his teeth and see about biting it loose. If he had his hands, now that he was on the ground, he might be able to grapple Haru down then untie his ankles. Obviously, Haru didn't like that and simply got another piece of rope and tied Kyo's already bound wrists to his drawn up knees.

"You asshole!"

"I TOLD you that you could stay quietly." Haru pointed out, with a small, pleased smile. "You chose not to, knowing the consequences."

"I didn't think you would actually tie me up!" The older boy spluttered. "What the hell is wrong with you!"

"There's nothing wrong with me." Haru smiled slightly at him, helping his boyfriend move to a move comfortable place in the room, in his balled up state. "I just found something I want, claimed it, and am now keeping it safe."

Kyo stared at him in disgust. "Something?! Haru I'm not a fucking thing!"

"Something, someone," Haru shrugged a bit. "It's all the same thing. A toy, a pet, they're both just things to play with."

"You..." The cat seethed, looking mildly hurt by that. "God... asshole..."

"Don't worry," The ox smiled a bit more. "You'll get more comfortable, I'll find a better way to keep you still, that's not tying you up with ropes."

"NO!" The red head stared at him, appalled. "Let me go!"

"I can't do that." Haru shook his head. "If I let you leave, you won't come back. And, if you don't come back, how am I supposed to know if you're being good, and if you're safe?"

"I would have come back if you hadn't tied me up! You psycho!" Kyo reasoned out.

"But, you've yet to give me a reason to believe that." Haru reminded him. "Besides, it's not nice to call people who care so much about you psychos."

"YOU TIED ME UP WITH ROPE!" The cat shouted. "What else am I supposed to call you, exactly?!" He'd already used jackass, and asshole. Neither of those really described the ox like psycho did though.

"Loving?" He offered, placing one finger over Kyo's lips, to silence him. "Caring? Protective?"

The feline snarled and snapped at that finger. "Overly protective, obsessive, psycho, bastard is more like it!"

"Oh, come on." Haru tossed him an injured look, pulling his finger away again. "I really don't want to have to gag you, too, to keep you from biting me."

"Keep the hell away from me and I won't have a chance to bite you." Kyo warned.

"But, Kyo, if I'd wanted to stay away from you, I wouldn't have brought you here to begin with."

The irritated boy snarled again. "Fuck you. Get near me, I bite you and that's that."

Haru watched him, with almost detached interest, for a few minutes, crouching a safe few feet away from him. "Would you bite him?" He wondered curiously, when he did at last speak again.

"What?" Kyo hissed, angrily.

Haru just blinked lazily, and repeated his question. Really, considering the situation from his point of view, it was a perfectly reasonable inquiry.

Which forced the red head to growl. "Yes."

"For tying you up, or wanting to actually touch you?" He smirked slightly, his amusement evident.

His older cousin glared at him. "Both." He spit, quite literally. He was pissed off beyond reason right now.

Haru raised an eyebrow at him, wiping off the fleck of saliva from his cheek.

"I can get you a gag, if you REALLY want." He offered dryly. "Or, maybe a muzzle would be more effective."

"NO!" Kyo repeated darkly. "I want you to fucking untie me and let me go."

"We just went over this." Haru sighed, rubbing his temples slightly. "I can't let you go, because I can't trust you to come back."

"Well then, just stay the hell away."

"It's my bedroom." That infuriatingly amused smirk returned, and with a vengeance. "I don't feel the need to leave." The red head frowned at him and pursed his lips. He didn't need to leave. Just stay over there, not near him. At least two arms lengths away would be best. "And," Haru continued, moving closer, rather than farther away. "Unlike you, I don't bite." Kyo's lip curled at him though, and once given the chance he was going to be quite ready to bite. That was his only weapon left right now. (He really did feel like an animal right now too.) Haru had set Kyo down on the foot of his futon, and had sat down next to him, but, he just flopping onto his back, shaking his head with that same amassment. "Don't worry, Kyo. I'll bring you a present, on my way home from school, tomorrow."

The older Sohma frowned. "Haru if you don't let me go someone is going to notice I'm gone. Even if it's only the teachers when I don't show up for school."

"I don't plan on keeping you here THAT long." He shrugged. "Just long enough."

Kyo growled again. "And how long is 'long enough'?" He demanded in frustration.

"Don't know, yet." Haru admitted, thoughtfully. "However long I need." The cat cursed under his breath before just looking away from the ox moodily. "I think you'll enjoy yourself, though." Said ox commented idly, a moment later. "Once you relax, and let yourself."

"Forget it." Kyo muttered. Haru's amused smirk sort of melted into a pleased smile, and, upon looking at the clock, simply informed him,

"You can lay down, if you want. It'd probably be more comfortable than sitting there, all night." It was getting pretty late, after all.

"No." The feline replied determinedly. "Drop dead." He wasn't going to lie down and risk falling asleep in this asshole's presence.

"If you're nice, I might bring home a present you'll actually LIKE." Haru told him, with a shrug, before sitting up again, to go change for bed. He was tired, whether Kyo was going to sleep or not. The red head frowned after him. He didn't like this new Haru. At all. But after that he just sunk down a little lower, resting his chin on the top of his knees and staring despondently at the wall.

Well, the problem was a bit weirder than he was giving it credit for. It wasn't that his personality had morphed, in someway. It had grown a completely different branch of itself. It was similar to Black Haru, except less violent, and more, well, psycho. White Haru was still in there, so was Black. The only reason neither of them was doing anything, was because White couldn't, and Black really thought it was all incredibly amusing, and didn't really want to.

Yeah, Kyo didn't think it was funny. Besides that, the people Kyo lived with were wondering where he was. Tohru was practically pulling her hair out.

"Honda-san, calm down?" Yuki pleaded, while she had her little breakdown. "I'm sure he's fine. Did he say where he was going?" Yuki didn't really give a damn where Kyo was, but he was perfectly willing to go look for him, if it would make Tohru feel better.

"He said Kazuma-san's. But it's so late! Kazuma-san wouldn't keep him this long!" No, the Shishou usually tried to act his fatherly part and would have sent Kyo home, since it was a school night, long ago.

"If he's with Shihan, I'm sure he just stayed late to visit." Yuki tried to assure her, despite the fact that he'd never known Kazuma to do such a thing. But, Kyo was different to their teacher, it was perfectly possible, he supposed.

“Tohru-kun, if it will make you feel better, I will call Kazuma-dono?" The dog cut in with his offer. The onigiri shook her head quickly, and Shigure got up languidly to do that.

However, Kazuma didn't have the faintest idea where Kyo was, and promptly told Shigure that he hadn't seen him, since their last lesson, several days before. Shigure sweat dropped. He really didn't want to tell Tohru that. Oh well! Honesty is the best policy.

"He hasn't been to the dojo."

Which only cause Tohru to panic more.

"We'll find him, Honda-san." Yuki promised, with a sigh, shooting a sharp look at Shigure. "Won't we?" He added pointedly.

"Yes, yes. But Kagura might have just kidnapped the silly kitty. I'm fairly certain he'll be at school tomorrow." The dog nodded.

"You-you think so?" The onigiri looked at him hopefully.

"Yes, so don't worry." Yet.

"I promise, Honda-san," Yuki spoke to her comfortingly. "If he's not in school tomorrow, we'll start to look."

She nodded absently. "All right." She was still worried but Yuki and Shigure know best?

Sure enough, the next day, Haru left Kyo tied up in his room, though, he did move him into his closet, and gag him with something, just in case someone decided to go into his house, while he was off at school. He didn't want anyone to find Kyo. So, it was rather needless to say that the cat didn't show up in school, the following morning. The ox did a rather good job of playing dumb, when Yuki finally bothered to ask him if he'd seen Kyo, too. He wasn't going to say anything. He would just let Kyo go, once he was satisfied with him.

Tohru was worried and she worried all through school. And was just in general planning a large-scale search. She figured she'd get someone to go inside and ask around and she'd get Uo and Hana to help her ask around the city. Yeah! That was the plan!

Of course, the minute Haru got wind of this search, he put Operation Make Kyo His House Pet into action. This included making a stop in a pet shop, and a hardware store, to get some various items, before going home. This would be MUCH more comfortable for Kyo than ropes, not to mention more of a permanent solution.

When the ox did get home though, and headed up the stairs to his room he found the red head asleep on the floor of the closet. Really, he'd had nothing better to do! After hours of trying to get out of those binds he'd flopped over in frustration and fallen asleep. (He had the red marks on his ankles and wrists to prove this.) He really hadn't slept the night before so he'd figured, since Haru wasn't due back for a while; he'd make that up while he could. He'd just been out longer than he meant to be, and now his captor was home.

And, he moved the cat out of his closet without a word, and settled him down on his (still out) futon, as he set about setting up his purchases. He got the anchor into the wall, the attached the chain to it, the collar to the chain, and then wait for Kyo to wake up, so he could attach the collar to Kyo. That wasn't too long a wait. Kyo'd been out for a while before the younger got home, and eventually he blinked open his eyes and jumped when he noticed where he was and who was there. He was no longer in the temporary sanctuary of the closet, and Haru was right next to him. He growled darkly once he'd registered the ox's presence. However, Haru picked him up again, still wordlessly, moved him BACK into the closet, and placed the collar he'd bought around his cousin's neck, locking it with the key it had come with (though, it wasn't too tight), before working on untying his ankles and wrists.

"There," he spoke up finally. "I told you that I'd find a way to keep you still, without using rope."

"I fucking hate you!" Kyo tugged experimentally on his newest restraint, testing just how far it would go. Which, wasn't very far at all. He couldn't quite reach with hands or teeth, so he kicked out irritably.

Haru hopped back the few inches to avoid being kicked, and just shrugged. "Do you hate him?" He wanted to know, propping his chin on his knees.

"Him?" There were several `hims' that this guy could be referring to.

"Him." Haru confirmed, with a small nod. "I think you call him White Haru." He added thoughtfully, pondering and trying to remember properly.

"No," Kyo frowned. It wasn't White he hated. It was whoever this guy was. This was the personality that had tied him up! Sure, he was a little less inclined to date Haru now that one of his alter egos had decided to obsess over him like this. But he didn't hate him. White was fairly pleasant.

"Good," He nodded, dawning that small, pleased smile again. "He really likes you."

"Oh, that's just great." The cat sneered. Fat load of good that knowledge did him!

"Mmhmm." He nodded. "I'll bet he'll be really happy, when I let him back out, and he sees what I've caught for him."

"You are so fucked up!" The red head declared again after hearing that.

"Hmm?" He blinked up absently at him, tone curious. "How so?"

Kyo sputtered for a moment. "YOU'VE GOT ME LEASHED INSIDE YOUR CLOSET!"

"Stop yelling." Haru shrugged calmly. "Or, I'll have to gag you again." If he wasn't careful, someone would hear Kyo, and they'd both be in a world of trouble.

"GODS! NO!" The cat glared a very painful death at the ox, and, if he could have reached, would have killed him by now. "I have a perfectly good reason to be pissed off! So untie me, THEN I'll stop yelling!"

"Do you WANT to be caught by Akito?" The ox wondered, not making any move to travel to or from his cousin. "He's the closest person, around here. He'll be the first one to hear you, and I don't think he'll be happy you're here." Kyo grimaced, and then hung his head a little. Looking down at the marks on his wrist rather than his infuriating cousin. "I'll go ask Tori-nii for something for those, if you want." Haru offered, cocking his head a little, examining the rope burns, rather detachedly.

"No." the feline muttered immediately. "Fuck off."

"Whatever." He shrugged, leaning forward and pulling the closet door shut, to muffle the noise Kyo was making. "I have homework to do."

"You bastard!" The red head raged, even though he wasn't yelling anymore. Once that was out of the way he cursed angrily under his breath. But that was about all. He was still chained to the wall and he knew it. So he thought about investigating this thing on his neck. Haru had bought him a nice collar, actually. He'd gotten him one big enough, to make sure it wouldn't choke him, and had even fastened it loosely. The only reason Kyo couldn't take him off, on his own, was because the ox had locked it, and, they key was currently sitting on his desk. That really all there was to it. He moved the key to a drawer, so he wouldn't loose it, before setting about that homework. Kyo eventually cursed once more and leaned his head tiredly against the wall. This was all very infuriating and really, there was nothing in this closet, it was boring!

After a few hours had passed, the sound of Haru's chair screeching out from his desk rang through the room, and the ox announced to Kyo that he was going to get him food, before leaving the room, and returning several minutes later, opening the door, to hand him the plate. The cat scowled. But, for once, he kept his mouth shut and just took the food. He hadn't eaten in almost an entire day. He wasn't so stupid as to try and go without the food. But there would not be so much as one word of thanks to the damn ox! NOT-A-ONE! Haru didn't really care about that, though. He had a plan. He was going to keep Kyo in that closet, until he finally broke, and agreed to stay on his own.

Which would take some doing. But in the mean time, Tohru was in the throws of an anxiety attack. Kyo-kun didn't seem to be anywhere! Inside OR out. He hadn't called nor had he come home! No one had seen him!

Yes, according to anyone who didn't know any better, Kyo had just mysteriously disappeared. Yuki almost went so far as to offer a house-by-house search of the compound, but he decided to hold off on that for a few more days. Knowing Kyo, he'd show up later, grumbling something about having been training, or some such nonsense. That explanation eased Tohru a little bit. But she still wanted to stay home and wait for him to come back or call, or something. It took a LOT of prodding from Shigure to convince her she really needed to go to school. The dog also promised that if Kyo didn't show up soon he'd call Haa-san. They only wanted to go to Akito as a very last resort.

When Shigure DID call Hatori, the dragon just sighed, and questioned dryly, "Just what do you want ME to do about it?"

"Well, have YOU seen him?" The dog wondered idly.

"No." Hatori replied calmly. "Which probably means he's not with Kagura, or he would have already been here."

"Any idea where he pittered off to? Because all the places I thought of, he's not at."

"No." Hatori repeated, leaning against his desk slightly. "Unless, he's been abducted to begin a torrid romantic affair with one of his other cousins." And, the ironic part was that Hatori had meant that purely sarcastically. Or, at least, he had at the time.

"That's a good idea for a book, thank you, Haa-san," Shigure murmured thoughtfully. "But that helps all the none and Tohru-kun is about to start hyperventilating."

"Tell her to calm down, and give her a glass of cool water?" Hatori offered; it really was all he could do.

"Right," The dog hummed. "If you see Kyo-kun, tell that idiot to come home and stop worrying Tohru-kun already?" He requested. He hadn't really thought Hatori would be helpful, but he had told Tohru he would call. So, he had.

"Right. I will." He agreed, before setting his receiver back down onto the cradle.

Haru, meanwhile, was currently untying Kyo's chain from the wall, in order to lead him over to his futon. If he had his way, Kyo and White would be doing this a lot anyway, might as well get him used to it, right?

"Haru---" The cat growled out a wary warning as he was FINALLY let out of the closet. He'd discovered from Haru, just a moment ago, that the door was locked again, and Kyo was going to have a hell of a time finding the key to get out. So, he should just behave. He was pretty sure he was going to have to now too..

"Come on, relax." Haru prompted, urging him down onto the futon, still gently. "I'll be gentle. Wouldn't want to hurt my kitty cat."

The red head glared at him as he was laid out onto the futon. "You're an asshole." He mumbled irritably. Haru ignored him and began gently kissing his neck. The older Sohma squirmed uncomfortably under his tender touch. Then let out a strangled hissing moan, as the ox's hand snaked down to cup is currently slack penis. With this kind of attention it wouldn't be long before he was hard, whether he wanted it or not. “Haru—“ He gasped and grabbed his hand quickly, moving it away from him.

“Shhh,” The younger commanded, extracting his own hand, then using the other one to hold both of Kyo's above his head and out of the way. “Please don't make me tie you up again.” The cat narrowed his eyes, but the ox didn't notice as he went back to his ministrations. His free hand carefully pushed up Kyo's shirt until it was bunched under his arms, then he kissed his way all over the tan quivering skin that was presented. He halted at each softly hued nipple and ran his tongue over it, then pulling back to let the cool air have at it.

“Nnn,” Kyo protested, squirming, wringing his wrists in Haru's grasp. “Let me go. Put me back in the fucking closet for all I---I---ah….ah….” He began panting as Haru ground their hips together.

“Don't give me that, pet. You know you love all the attention you get from me.” The schizophrenic boy grunted as he let go of Kyo's wrists in favor of running his hands up and down the well-defined line of Kyo's sides. The red head flexed his hips and whimpered softly as Haru continued to rock against him. He was fully hard now, it felt good, but he didn't like this crazy side of Haru touching him. Kyo really didn't have much else in the way of options though. The feline groaned when the ox suddenly pulled away from him. Haru smirked happily. “I knew you loved it.” He sneered as he let a teasing finger run along the very edge of Kyo's pants. The cat raised his hips reflexively into the touch, seeking out more. Haru took this as his opportunity to get into those very bothersome pants.

“Nngh, no…” The kitten moaned halfheartedly trying to drop his hips quickly and keep his pants on.

“I'm master here, Kyo.” Haru reminded, catching his hip in mid-fall and finishing with his older cousin's clothes. He admired the orange boxers for a mere moment before deciding he didn't want those on his pet either. And they weren't for much longer. “There, see. That isn't so bad, now is it?” The ox wondered as he tugged lightly at the other's hard-on. His efforts were met with a breathy whine and a small shudder. Haru couldn't help but smirk and he bent to place a teasing kiss at the head of the other's erection.

“Stop… Stop!” Kyo croaked out as forcefully as he could. But that wasn't very intimidating to the ox who heard the cat's deep moan as he enticingly wrapped his lips around the warm flesh. He sucked softly on the tepid pink head before descending quickly with a mischievous grin. The feline sucked in air as large amounts of pleasure very suddenly surged all through him. He writhed and gasped as the younger rose up a ways and went back to licking along the ridge of his head and his salted slit. The quiet suckling sounds that came from his mouth reached Kyo's ears and he shivered in unwelcome delight. Another gasp forced it's way from him when the ox left him entirely. Letting the frigid air of the room cool his overheating groin. It wasn't left abandoned for long though, and soon Haru had returned, licking up and down the side of his cock, following the trail of his vein. Head to base, then going to Kyo's inner thigh, placing short whispery kisses on the soft flesh until he made his way down to the elder's tightening balls. He paused here to lick and suckle, and pass attention onto the so far neglected flesh. The red head's hips jerked and he pressed in the direction of the ox's loving mouth. Haru was still smirking, Kyo saw it when he came back up to finish the blowjob he'd started. And finish it he did… Both his hands wrapped around the base of Kyo's erection, he wasn't afraid of Kyo trying to escape right now, so, he could spare both of them, and he lowered his mouth back down. He laved affection all onto the cat's stiff erection until the red head arched his back with pleasure and slowly began to spill his built up seed onto Haru's soft tongue. The ox milked the remaining cum from the deflating member, and then released it with a chuckle.

“You love it.” He restated plainly, as he slid back up to Kyo's body to give him a kiss. A pair of red eyes looked at him nervously and Kyo drew away, but Haru caught him up by the shoulders and pressed their lips together, teeth clacking momentarily.

“Mmph!” Kyo protested the taste of his tang on the other's lips, but the ox held him still and bit carefully on his lower lip until he was granted entry to the other's mouth.

“You taste very sweet.” Haru whispered as he licked from the corner of Kyo's mouth back to the thin, sensitive flesh behind his ears, then down his neck to the dip of his shoulder, where he sucked eagerly at the responsive area around the pulse. The red head squirmed and moaned as this went on and the younger Sohma ran his hands all over his exposed skin. He couldn't think to protest now and he let out a puff of surprised breath when he felt Haru's pale fingers begin spreading his legs and ass in order to have access to his hole.

“No… no… no…” He shook his head and struggled.

Haru looked at him coolly. “I just sucked you off, kitten, the least you can do is return the favor.”

“Nnn…” Kyo whined low in his throat, since Haru hadn't stopped searching with his finger. “Shouldn't---shouldn't I go down on you then…” He really didn't want this to happen with his boyfriend's obsessive, crazy, alter ego.

“Would you?” Aforementioned psycho wondered, rubbing his own erection against Kyo's thigh, a reminder that it was there. In all honesty, Kyo wouldn't. So, he looked tiredly at the ox and didn't answer. “That's what I thought.” He laughed before suddenly pressing a dry finger into Kyo's tight ring. The cat mewled and his hips tried to inch way, but the ox caught him and held him to the floor. He fingered the cat tenderly for a moment before drawing away and examining the feline. “How's that feel, pet?” He wondered with a definite leer.

“H-hurts…”

“Tell me where your sweet little White Haru keeps the lube and I'll make it better for you.” Haru purred, stroking the insides of Kyo's brown thighs.

“I—I don't know…” The red head mumbled; he really had no idea.

“Mmm, then what are we going to do…” Haru mused before his smirk reappeared and he ran his index finger along Kyo's bottom lip. “Suck on that, kitty.” He commanded softly. The cat gave him a disgusted look, which Haru met with a smile. But then he pressed his hand a little closer and the feline felt he had no choice. He licked his dry lips in anxiety before drawing the digits into his mouth and laving each finger until it was quite slick. The ox pulled them away with a pleased grin, and then quickly pressed three in.

“Ahhhn--” Kyo complained at the sudden increase from one to nothing to three. But then Haru went slower, carefully spreading and stretching the muscles of Kyo's ass until Kyo's complaints turned into soft breathy mewls. Haru leaned over to his ear with a grin as he continued to finger the cat.

“I'm going to need you to go down on my after all.” He nibbled on the red head's earlobe tenderly once he'd finished speaking.

“Nnn—no.” The feline shook his head, pulling his ear away from the ox's teeth.

“Not your choice.” The psycho corrected, still pumping his fingers in and out of the other. “Unless you WANT me to push in dry?”

“You… you could just not.”

“Oh, but I'm going to. We've gotten this far already, might as well.” Haru pulled away all together and sat Kyo up. The cat's shirt fell back down from where it was bunched under his arms and he looked over at the younger nervously. “Hop to it, kitten.” The ox sneered. Kyo made an annoyed face, but a cool look from Haru reminded him that he was the captive here. He scooted over and tentatively began unbuttoning the other's pants. A warm rosy erection was revealed after the two layers of clothing came off. Kyo's hard-on had returned by the time he started on Haru's. This wouldn't exactly be the first time he'd sucked Haru off… But… He hesitantly wrapped his lips around the other's penis and began running his tongue all along it. He didn't have to make the ox orgasm. Just suck on him a bit. And that's all he did, he laved his saliva onto every place his could reach until Haru pushed him back, a small slurp sounding in response. “Come on now, kitty-cat. On all fours like a good pet.” The ox grinned, running his fingers through Kyo's orange hair. The feline looked at him irritably, but some not so gentle urging from the younger got him to lean down onto his hands and knees and turn around, his ass facing Haru. The ox's pale hands immediately began kneading the offered flesh greedily. Kyo squeaked slightly when he felt Haru's head, slick with saliva and pre-cum, rubbing against his crack. “I promise to be gentle.” The taller boy reminded, halting his groping to spread Kyo open to him and position his hard-on. “Relax,” he warned before beginning to slide in. The red head cried out and tensed for a moment, then Haru went back to kneading his backside and he slowly went lax as the ox continued to press in. “That's it, kitty.” He commended as he finished sheathing himself inside the other's tight passage. He began pulling out a little, but Kyo groaned in pain.
“Wh-wait!” He begged. It was too late to say stop right now, but he needed to adjust. Haru leaned over his back, pressing his weight on the elder. He kissed the place between Kyo's shoulders as he waited.

“Purr when you're ready, kitten.” He teased as he circled his hips just a little bit. Kyo took some slow breaths and waited for a moment as his muscles continued to protest the psycho's presences. But, after a moment or so, they lost the battle, Kyo grunted huskily and pushed back against his captor. Haru was smirking again as he took that as his most obvious sign and pumped in and out shallowly. He'd promised not to hurt his pet, so he was going to start out slow. The cat whimpered softly and his breath was still coming in pants as Haru's pace, slowly but surely, sped up. It just felt so good… His arms stopped supporting him, and he fell down to his elbows, when the ox found his prostate. He'd hit it once, so Haru paid attention for a moment until he found it again and began beating at it mercilessly. Kyo's back curved down as he was fucked into the futon and he cried out with the obligatory pains and pleasures. Saliva dripped from the corner of his mouth as his moans became more continuous. Haru's hands continued to roam his body even as he started to really pound the feline's tight hole. Pinching nipples, petting overheating flesh, and fisting the elder's returned erection constantly until Kyo let out a little sob, his back arching up, instead of down towards the floor, as his second orgasm stomped through him. When it was over he collapsed back to the ground and whimpered helplessly as Haru fucked him harder in pursuit of his own nearing peak. He found it and grunted as he continued to move in and out of his pet in time with the pulses of semen.

“God… Haru… I hate you…” Kyo sighed despondently into the futon.

“Hush, let's get cleaned up and dressed.” Haru grinned. He got a towel and did just that for the both of them, then tossed Kyo his clothes as he got into his own. When they were both fairly presentable again, the ox drew the cat close to his chest, hugging him around the waist. Then he settled them both up against the wall, his back to it and Kyo situated in his lap. The red head squirmed and scowled at him, but the ox held tight.

"If you promise to be good, I'll let you stay out here for the rest of the afternoon." Haru bargained, smiling slightly, as he whispered into his kitten's ear. That sounded good. God DAMN was that closet boring. Kyo rolled it over in his mind before nuzzling against the ox, then hissing back his reply.

"I'm going to bite you, if you don't get off me." But he'd rather go back in the closet than do ANYTHING this psycho suggested.

"Your choice," Haru shrugged, urging him back to his feet, and back over toward and into the closet, locking the chain back into place at the same time. "Have fun." He added, before shutting and locking the closet door, itself. The older Sohma groaned irritably and leaned uncomfortably against the wall again. Looked like another fun afternoon to sleep away.

Well, it was about a week later that it happened. Haru was, per usual, opening that closet door to give him food, when he found himself with a fist making contact with his nose. And, damn if it didn't hurt! So, that was how Black showed up to visit Kyo. Muttering something along the lines of, `what the hell is wrong with you?'

"You fucking deserve it!" The cat hissed, not noticing the change from psycho Haru to Black. He'd been waiting to get that hit in for days!

"I should hit you back, stupid cat." Black informed him, glancing up, but still rubbing his sore nose.

Kyo growled and kicked out with his feet, now that Haru was out of arms reach. "Don't call me that! I AM NOT YOUR FUCKING PET!"

"I never said you were!" Black was actually looking at him like he'd suddenly turned into the Easter Bunny, at the moment. That halted the feline in his struggles. That other psycho called him his pet all the time, and his cat... kitty... kitty-cat… pet… kitten... Kyo looked up and eyed the ox carefully. Then he gasped.

"BLACK! Shit!" He spluttered helplessly.

"Quite the observant one, aren't we?" Black Haru drawled sarcastically, standing up, and backing a safe distance away from his cousin.

The cat struggled up, pulling vainly at his collar. "Wait--shit--stay over here!" He all but begged.

"Why...?" The ox wanted to know, his tone rightfully suspicious.

"Get this thing off me!" Kyo stared at him like that was the most obvious thing ever.

"Why should I help you?" Black wondered. "What's in it for me?"

The red head clenched his jaw and was cursing angrily under his breath before calming down. "What do you want?" He spit out bitterly. He should have known better with Black. There would always have to be something in it for Black.

Black considered it carefully, for a few minutes. "I want you to take that goddamned moron off my hands." He decided finally. "He's starting to annoy me. He'll know where the key to that thing is, too. I sure as hell don't."

"Fuck!" Kyo cursed. "He won't unlock me! Idiot, he put me in the thing!"

"Not HIM." Haru shook his head impatiently. "The OTHER idiot."

"Why the hell would he know?" The red head stared up at him, equally impatient.

"Eeeh, state-dependant memory's a complicated thing?" The ox offered after a moment of pondering.

The cat frowned. "Sure, fine. I'll do what I can for you." He agreed quickly. He wanted OUT. NOW. "Can you do anything about the other jackass?" That psycho bugged him and he was just wondering.

"I can hold him down long enough for your White to get back out here." He shrugged. "Not much more, though. It's not like I can just ask him to go away, and he will."

Kyo grumbled, but he figured once he was let loose it wouldn't be a problem. He could hurry the hell home and get away from the psycho.

"Whatever then." he sighed.

"Right." He nodded with a sigh, and then there was White. One could tell, because as soon as he laid eyes on Kyo, they widened in a rather mortified fashion.

"Oh—God--" He mumbled, moving to dig through that damn drawer he knew the collar's key would be in, before going back, to actually unlock it. "Sorry." He murmured, as he fiddled clumsily with it, in his haste. "I--I'm sorry." The cat watched him in frustration. He needed less apologizing and more unlocking! Once the collar came loose Kyo rubbed his neck in agitation and eyed the ox warily. Could he get up and leave now? Or was he going to be stopped again? "I'm so sorry." Haru repeated, once the collar was off. "You--should probably go now--Right now. I don't want--to do anything else to you."

The feline had no problems with that and edged away from his cousin quickly. He'd spent more time than he would have liked holed up in that closet.

Whether it was fortunate, or unfortunate, it's never been decided. But, by leaving right then, Kyo missed Haru's little nervous breakdown by about five minutes. The details don't really need to be gone in to, all that really matters is that he didn't go to school the next morning, and with good reason. He was currently sitting in his bathroom floor, amongst quite a few bits of broken glass. (He hadn't been able to find a real knife or razor, so he'd just broken the mirror in lieu of that.) He had come to the conclusion, at some point during the night that the best thing (the safest thing) for everyone was for him to just die. And, frankly, he planned to do exactly that very, very soon.
