Make-outs, Lies and Video Tapes

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~

 

Recap:

“Hatori, I left the tape there! What if some one finds it? They'll think of me as a whore! Yes they will! You did? Thank you! I love you so much! No, keep it till tomorrow I want to destroy it. Thank you, I will never grumble at you again! Bye!” She hung up the phone and climbed back into the bed.

“You are not a whore. I don't care what other people think.”

“Thank you, but I think we should lay off with the touching…for a long time.”

“Why?”

“I feel ashamed for letting it happen.”

“No! It was not your fault!”

“I know, but I still feel ashamed. I'm tired,” she said before yawning and closing her eyes.

“Then sleep,” he said clapping off the lights and snuggled down with her. He kissed the top of her head. “I love you.”

She smiled into his shoulder. “Me too.”

 

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~

 

It had been four days since their visit to the lake house. Kyo was still angry at his cousins, because Alix stayed away from him. She wouldn't come up and kiss him randomly, nor would she hug him any more. At night, she would stay on one side of the bed, and ignore him. He was pissed off to say the least. He missed touching her, and he missed holding her at night when they slept. The worse part of it was that she wouldn't stay in the same room as Shigure or Ayame. If Ayame came over, she went out until he left. If Shigure was lurking around, she stayed as far away from him as possible.

He had asked Tohru to take Alix out of the house for the day while he yelled at his cousin. Tohru had agreed and organized a girl's day out with her, Kagura, Suki and Kisa. Tohru and Suki were waiting downstairs for the other two to arrive. Alix was upstairs and had locked her self in his bed room until Kagura arrived. Kyo couldn't wait for her to leave. He was going to kill his cousin. Not touching her, not smelling her hair, not being able to talk to her was driving him insane. He was talking to Yuki. That was one thing that came out of this whole mess. He was talking civilly to his cousin. They both knew that Alix was ashamed with herself, and both agreed that their cousins needed to apologize. The door bell rang and Kagura and Kisa entered the house. Tohru glanced at Kyo before going upstairs to get Alix. Kyo stood and waited for them to come down stairs. He stood in front of Alix and pulled her into a hug. She stood limply in his arms, and made no move to hug him back. Kisa's eyes widened slightly at the lack of transformation.

“Have fun today, okay?” He whispered in her ear. “I love you.”

Alix pulled away and looked up at him. “Please don't hug me. But I will try to have fun. I love you too.” She said as he kissed her cheek and let her follow the other girls out of the house. As soon as he heard the car drive off, he let his anger loose.

“Get your mother fucking ass out here now, you fucking dog!” he yelled through the house. Shigure came into the living room.

“Must you yell at me like that?” he asked softly.

“Yes. Because of your perverted actions, Alix won't come near me!”

Shigure frowned and sat down at the table. “I know that what Aya and I did was stupid. The cam-corder wasn't on. It wasn't supposed to turn out this way. We were going to tease her a bit, make her squirm, but we didn't tape anything. We could never do that to her.”

“Then you better fucking apologize to her, or I will kick our fucking ass.”

“We've been trying to. But she won't stay in the same room as us. Aya is coming over today with a present for her. Alix is a lovely young girl. We never meant to hurt her. We love her like a little sister. We would never intentionally upset her like we did.”

“Then what was on the tape?” Yuki asked him, clearly angry with him as well.

“Okay, I lied a little. We had taped you, but not in the bedroom. The first morning when you two were on the verandah together, we taped you then, from the bedroom window. Then when you went to walk along the lake, we taped you again. And when Momiji had jumped on Alix when you got back, but that was it. We had only just opened the door with the recorder up, when Hatori alerted you to what we were doing.” He frowned deeper. “We feel very stupid, for what we did. We shouldn't have joked around like that.”

“Nah Shit! Never do it again, because if you do something, and she starts avoiding me like she is now, Hatori won't stop me from killing you. Neither will Akito. None of you will ever fuck around with her like that again.”

“You do love her. You try to hide it from the rest of us, but we already know. You hurt her as well Kyo. By hiding, showing your affections to her away from the rest of us. If you showed her attention around the rest of us, I can promise you she will be more trusting of you. None of us will make comments-okay maybe I will, but only because she looks cute when she blushes. We all like it that you two are together. None of us would try to destroy the relationship that you have with her. Say it out loud. Say that you love her. I can guarantee that you will feel better about your self.”

“Not near you, not near any of you. I am so close to telling her to move back to her house, if it means she is away from your perverted comments. And Ayame's stares.”

Shigure smiled. “The stares I can explain. Aya was making a dress for her. He was trying to determine what would suit her with out have being obvious and asking her. And Aya is gay, you should remember that. You can ask Tohru. She helped us out.”

Kyo glared at him. He could tell that Shigure meant every word, but he wasn't about to admit it. “Humph. Fine.”

“We want to apologize. We don't like seeing any of you sad, especially you, Kyo, when Alix ignores you. It makes us feel like shit. I know that when she comes home, she will go up to your room. Will you keep her there until we come up and apologize?”

“Fine. But if it doesn't work, you are going to pay.”

 

 

“Nee-san, why didn't Kyo transform?” asked Kisa, standing beside Tohru as Suki and Kagura made Alix try on some dresses.

“I guess that's how the curse works. Kyo can hug Alix with out transforming, but as soon as she hugs him, then it's different.”

“Why does she look like Kira?”

“She just does. Don't say that to her though. She doesn't seem to like Kira.”

“Does Kyo love her?” she asked as Alix protested to a dress.

“Yes, he does. He just won't admit it. Don't bring it up at the moment. Alix is upset about something.”

“About what Grandpa Ayame and Grandpa Shigure did to her?”

“Yes. Come on, let's help her.”

Alix was flat out refusing to try on an outfit that Suki had picked out. Kagura was trying to convince her to put it on for them to see.

“No! I am fine wearing what I am. I don't need any new clothes. Please do not make me do this.”

“Alix come on. Just this one, then we can go looking for handbags and shoes. Maybe ice creams too, ooh, maybe a burger as well. Please, last one, promise.” Suki pleaded, holding the outfit in front of her for Alix to take.

Alix glared at her older friend and snatched the outfit, storming into the changing room as Suki beamed happily. She changed into the out fit, and frowned down at it. She didn't like this one. Normally she would have, but not this time. She walked back out to the girl and Suki whistled.

“Kyo is going to die from nose bleed,” Kagura said happily.

“No, he won't, because I'm not buying it. I don't want any new clothes. I don't feel like shopping. Please stop pretending. I know why you are doing this.”

“Because we want to spend time with you, silly.” Kagura answered. “Tohru suggested it.”

Tohru blushed at being caught out.

“I know that Kyo wants to yell at them. He could have done it while I was there, I wouldn't have cared.”

“Kyo also wanted you to have some fun. He wants to see you smile. Don't yell at the others. I'm the only one who knew why.”

“I'm not angry. I just don't feel like having fun, and this outfit makes me look like a whore,” she replied indicating the outfit she was wearing. It was a black mini skirt with a tight black tank covered in silver butterflies. Tohru failed to see why she thought that.

“It looks nice. If you don't like it we'll put it back and get some lunch.”

“Thank god.” Alix said disappearing back into the small cubical.

 

 

Lunch was quiet, well Alix was quiet. Suki and Kagura were having a blast. They were busy perving on any guys that walked past. Alix poked at her food and spoke to Tohru and little Kisa. They told each other some stuff about themselves, and that was it, Alix stopped talking as much. They ate lunch quickly, well as slow as Alix did. Then they went window shopping, looking at different shoes and stuff. After two hours, Alix finally got bored, and felt like going home. She told Suki that she had enough, and wanted to leave. The older girl frowned but gave in.

When they got home they walked inside to find Yuki and Kyo playing cards quietly.

“Did we walk into the wrong house?” Suki asked, while Kagura laughed. Alix frowned and headed for the stairs.

“Alix,” said Kyo. “Come here for a sec.”

She sighed mentally but did as he asked. He stood up to face her, and kissed her. Yep, he kissed her in front of others. Alix pulled away from him, confused.

“I think we did enter the wrong house. Are you feeling okay?” she asked him.

“No. I'm miserable.”

“Why?”

“Because you are ignoring me. I don't like it when I can't touch you.”

“I'm not ignoring you.”

“When was the last time you hugged me?”

She frowned. “Two weeks ago, but I'm not ignoring you. I think we just need to slow down. We were going to fast.”

“No, we weren't. My cousins were being stupid. I love you, okay. I don't want to be ignored. I like hugging you, and kissing you. If doing it in front of every one means that I don't miss out then so be it.”

“Shigure and Ayame weren't the cause. We were going too fast.” She said before turning and leaving the room. Kyo swore loudly and glared at his two cousins, who had been hiding in the hall way.

“I'm going to kill you, if she doesn't forgive you.”

“Then we'll go and apologize. Hari, can we have the tape please?” Shigure asked as Hatori exited the kitchen with a cup of tea. He sighed and pulled the tape out of his pocket and handed it to them. Kyo watched his two cousins go upstairs, waiting for one of them to chicken out so he could punch the fuck out of them.

 

Alix sat on Kyo's window sill when she got upstairs. She was upset that she was hurting him, but they had been going too fast. Well, that was the excuse she kept telling herself. She knew it was because she was ashamed at what Shigure ad Ayame had done. She had allowed herself to get into that position, if only she had controlled herself, it wouldn't have happened.

There was a knock on the door but she ignored them, hoping they would leave her alone. They didn't have the same idea. Instead they opened the door to reveal themselves. Shigure and Ayame stood in the door way, looking mightily ashamed of themselves.

“Alix, before you say anything. We came to apologize.” Shigure said stepping into the room. Ayame came in after him, with a large dress-box in his hands.

“No. I don't want to talk to anyone.”

“Well, we feel like shit for doing it to you. We don't like seeing you upset.” Ayame said handing the tape over to her.

“We didn't tape you in the bed room. We could never do that to you.”

“Sure you couldn't.”

“No. We only recorded you the day before. We were only planning to make you squirm for a while, not to embarrass you or upset you. Aya made a dress for you, to say sorry. Will you try it on for us?”

“Kyo put you up to this, didn't he?”

“No. We had been trying to apologize for days now, but you would always leave the room as soon as we entered. Kyo finally snapped at not being able hug you. He is an affectionate person, he needs interaction, or he goes nuts. That's why he is always shit-stirring Yuki.”

“Fine. I forgive you, only because I'm hurting Kyo.”

“That's good enough for us. Will you try the dress on any way?”

“Yes. I will, go away while I change.” She shooed them out the door and locked it while she changed into the dress. She loved it. She allowed Aya to come back in and help zip it up. He put a ribbon in her hair and smiled.

“You look lovely. Shigure and I love you as a little sister, and we hate to see you upset. Go downstairs and make Kyo die of a nose bleed.”

“This dress ain't sexy. It's cute.”

“Just like the girl wearing it. Come on.” He led her downstairs into the living room. She didn't smile. She just stood there.

Hatori smiled at her. So did all the others. Except Kyo who was glaring at Shigure and Ayame.

“Twirl for us,” said Suki loudly. Alix did as she was asked, the long skirt brushing against her legs. The dress was made up of a floor length skirt attached to a corset like halter top, with off the shoulder sleeves. It was a mixture of dark purple and dark blue, swirling together beautifully. Once she completed a full turn she noticed that Kyo was still glaring at his cousins and hadn't bothered to look at her. She knew that she had been ignoring him, but this hurt. She forced a smile for everyone paying attention before going upstairs to change out of it. She didn't even bother to change out of it. She just sat on the windowsill looking out at the forest surrounding the house. Now she knew how Kyo felt with her ignoring his touches. The dress was nice though, and she had forgiven Shigure and Ayame as soon as they apologized. Obviously Kyo was really upset with being ignored and stopped trying. She didn't blame him though.

The forest looked really nice this time of day. The sun filtered through the tree tops on to the forest floor that was barely visible any way. She didn't notice Shigure and Aya enter the room, with Kyo, until he was pushed into her back. He grabbed her waist to stop her from falling and she turned around to face the culprits. They grinned at her and left the room really fast. Kyo released her quickly and stepped back from her.

“Did that stupid mutt apologize to you?”

“Yes. They did. This is the dress they bought me.”

“I know. I saw it when they brought it over. It looks nice on you.”

“You wouldn't know. You weren't looking when I was down there.”

“Yeah. I know. I was making sure those two fuck heads apologized to you.”

“Well they did. I'm sorry, for not…for ignoring you. I know how you feel.”

“You do?”

“Yeah. Just now, when every one else was looking at the dress and you weren't. It hurt, to know that your attention wasn't on me like it usually is. I'm sorry.”

“No. You were upset. I don't blame you for being like that. Although I would have preferred it if you hadn't. I don't think we were going too fast.”

“I do. I think we were going way too fast. We need to cool off for a while.”

“No. Don't say that. Cool off means break up. I don't want to break up with you.”

Alix blinked in confusion. Cool off meant break up? Hell she didn't want to break up with him. “I don't mean it like that. I just mean hold off on the touching and making out for a week or five.”

“Five weeks? What are you on? I clearly can't last four days with out touching you. I'll kill my self if I can't touch you any more.”

Alix frowned, hearing him say that. She didn't want him to kill him self if he couldn't touch her. She didn't see it as such a big deal, but obviously he did. If allowing him to touch her meant that he was happy, then she would allow it.

“Kyo. Please don't say that. You can touch me and kiss me. I just don't want to take it too far. Promise me that we won't get carried away.”

“I promise. Now show me the dress.”

Alix slid off the window sill and stood facing him. She turned for him slowly before topping and just standing there. He was standing there, watching her carefully, his hands clenched by his sides. It was clear to her that he wanted to run his hands over her, but he was stopping himself. She smiled and reached for his hands. She smiled at him, before kissing him gently. He pressed his lips closer, impatiently running his tongue along her lips wanting entry. She opened her mouth to his tongue and placed his hands on her waist. His hands clenched his fingers into the material of the dress as he ravished her mouth. Sighing into his mouth, Alix moved his hands up and down her sides. He clenched them back into her dress to stop her. She frowned mentally, but let him go. He pulled away to breath and allowed her to as well before crashing his lips back down to hers. He kissed her over and over, refraining from moving his hands. Finally he pulled way and rested his head against hers.

“Please, don't ever give me the cold shoulder. Don't ever keep our body away from me.”

“Okay. I'm hungry. I didn't eat much lunch. Can we go back downstairs?”

He smiled at her, but took her hand in his and led her back downstairs to the living room. Alix walked in first.

“What is this bitch doing back?”

Alix froze, making Kyo bump into her back. “Excuse me?”

“You heard me, what are you doing back here?”

Alix frowned. The person being rude to her was a boy no older than Kisa. His blonde hair was neatly messy. And his brown eyes seemed bored. He was sitting next to Kisa, who had her hand around his waist.

“I'm sorry. Is this little fucker talking to me?” she asked, glaring at the younger boy.

“Yes. I am. What are you doing back? I though you left us for good.”

“Ah. You mean Kira. No, she's gone, and I hope she never comes back. I'm Alix, and you are? Master Annoying?” She asked snidely as Kyo wrapped his arms around her waist and rested his chin on her shoulder.

“Alix. Calm down. He doesn't know that you aren't Kira,” Hatori said calmly.

“I still think that I don't look anything like her. I think I need to go blonde again.” She winced as Kyo tightened his grip on her suddenly after she said it. “Ow, Kyo I was joking.”

“Sorry,” he mumbled loosing his hold on her. He kissed her neck softly and glared at Hiro. “I suggest you shut it you little shit, or you'll answer to me.”

“As if Kyo. You're too busy moaning over Kira still.”

“If you want to stay welcome in this house I suggest you stop talking about Kira.” Alix said hotly, pulling herself from Kyo's embrace and walking into the kitchen. Kyo glared daggers at his youngest male cousin.

“Idiot,” he muttered before sitting beside Yuki at the table. Yuki sighed.

“Hiro the girl you just saw is not Kira. Her name is Alix. She is rather touchy about the topic, so could you please not bring it up.”

“Fine. Another stranger knows about the curse. Does Akito know?”

“Yes, he does. And he knows my reasons for not erasing her memory. Please drop the topic.” Hatori said nodding to Tohru who asked if he wanted more tea. Tohru disappeared through the kitchen door. They heard her gasp and Kyo stood up to check on her. Upon entering the kitchen he found Tohru preparing some more tea and Alix lying on the floor with a box of Pocky in front of her, nibbling slowly on the piece she had in her hand. She was upset; she was eating pocky. He sat down in front of her.

“You are not Kira. You know that.”

“I know. But it still gets to me. I don't like her. I haven't even met her for fucks sake.”

“Now you're swearing. I've told you that I am over her. She has obviously moved on, and so have I. Come on, come back out, Kagura wants to spend more time with you. So would I but I can wait.”

“How come, in the bed room you just held my dress?”

“Want me to lie?”

“No. The truth would be good.”

“I wouldn't stop. Come on, back out.”

 

Back out in the living room, Kyo pulled Alix down into his lap. She snuggled her head under his chin and thanked Tohru for her peppermint tea. Kyo was content to fiddle with the ribbons on her dress as conversation started among the table. Kira was not brought up again, much to Alix and Kyo's pleasure. Instead the topic was about some zodiac thing. Alix could care less and it was obvious that Kyo couldn't give a shit about it either. The day dragged on. Alix almost fell asleep, but Kyo kept poking her gently when she did. She grumbled quietly at him, and she could feel him smirk. Finally Hatori suggested that guests leave and allow the residents of the house have their dinner. Alix saw Suki and Kagura to the car as Ayame, Hiro and Kisa climbed into Hatori's car as he spoke with Suki.

“You might want to look at that tape later, Alix. It might surprise you.” Hatori said before getting into his car and driving off. Alix gave Suki and Kagura a hug and waved them off as they drove down the long driveway.

 

Back inside they ate dinner quietly. Alix ate all of her food, except for the leeks that she put on Kyo's plate. Kyo grumbled at her and put them back on hers.

“I don't like leeks,” he mumbled.

“I don't like `em either.”

“Then don't eat them, just leave them on your plate.” Yuki said sighing. Alix stuck her tongue out at him. He shook his head at her softly smiling.

 

After dinner Alix showered and changed into her pyjamas and snuggled deep under the covers. Kyo followed her and pulled her back against his chest, his hands sliding over her hips slowly. She put her hand on his and snuggled against him.

“I'm tired.”

“Then sleep, stupid.”

She yawned softly. “But I don't want to.”

“Sleep. You need your energy for tomorrow.”

She yawned again. “Why? It's only school.”

“Exactly, we have an exam.”

“Oh shit! I forgot. I'm gonna fail. I just know it.”

“You will not. Just sleep.”

“Alright then.” She closed her eyes and twined her fingers with his. She allowed sleep to over take her as Kyo yawned as well.

 

The dark haired teen looked around for her orange haired friend. She couldn't see him any where. She sighed in defeat but walked into the building in front of her. She opened the door and walked in. A tall young man stood in the room, dressed in a long white coat.

“Hey , have you seen ---?”

“No, I haven't. Maybe he went with one of the others. Why don't you go and find him?” The man replied as he turned around to face her.

“Okay!” she said and turned to leave the buiding. She walked along the paths watching the birds in the trees as she did. She bumped into someone.

“Oh, crap. I'm sorry I didn't mean to crash into you.” She muttered politely.

“Hello. Why are you outside?”

“Oh, it's you. I'm looking for… How come you are outside? You're sick. You need to rest.”

“I will be fine. Are you looking for the stupid cat?”

“Yeah. I drew him a picture and I wanted him to see it. But I can't find him any where. Do you know where he would be?”

“I do not bother my self with knowing where any of those stupid animals are. I do not care what they do. Come inside with me instead.”

“But I really wanted him to see it.”

“Let me see it.”

She pulled the drawing out of her kimono and unfolded it. She handed it to him. He snatched it from her.

“This is pathetic. You can't draw. This is the ugliest picture I have ever seen.”

“Is it really? I didn't know they were crap. Every one else said they were good.”

“They were lying. All of them were lying this picture is ugly.” He tore it up in front of her and dropped it at her feet. He turned and left.

She frowned. Had they all lied to her? Were her drawings really that crap?

“Hey!” yelled her orange haired friend as he and another boy came over to her, as she was picking up the pieces of paper on the ground.

“Hey guys. I'm really busy at the moment.”

“Why were you talking with him?”

“I was looking for you, but he was telling me something. I have to go. Okaa-san is looking for me.”

“But we were told that you really wanted to see me,” the orange haired boy said sadly.

”It's okay. I can talk another time. I have to go bye.” She said quickly, scrunching the pieces of paper up into a ball and turning away and leaving, throwing the ball in the bin on her way.

 

Alix woke up crying. The boy had been so mean. Why had he acted that way to the little girl? Kyo stirred from behind her.

“Hey what's wrong?” he asked softly.

She sniffed the tears back. “Nothing, just a sad dream. I'm okay. Sorry to wake you.”

“Do you…want to talk about it?”

She felt him stretch out and cuddle her gently. “No. It was just a stupid dream, don't worry.”

“Alright. It's almost time to get up anyway.”

“Really? Alright then. I might as well shower now then.” She wiped away her tears and slid out of bed to go to the bathroom.

 

After everyone had showered and eaten they headed off to school. She was curious as to who the little girl and her friends were. She shook her head to clear her thoughts and focused on the exams she had ahead of her.
