***********

Noraneko stared out the window of his bedroom in shock. There standing outside of his window was Yuki. He got off his comfy bed and walked towards the window.

"Yuki…? What are you doing here?" He asked opening up his window, letting Yuki crawl inside the room.

"Sumimasen (1). Am I disturbing you."

"No! Not at all! I was just thinking." Noraneko answered shaking his head.

"I came over here to tell you something important." Yuki spoke seriously. Noraneko frowned. It was unusual to see Yuki acting like this. Something was definitely wrong.

"What is it?"

"I can no longer see you anymore." Yuki said coldly meeting Noraneko's startled eyes. "I can no longer be in this relationship with you."

"What do you mean? Why?" Noraneko took a step back almost tripping over his own feet.

"I lied to you when I said I loved you." The red-haired boy voice was so icy that it sent a chill down Noraneko's spine.

"Why are you saying this?" Noraneko demanded clenching his fist and glared at Yuki. "Doushite ore ni? (2). After all we been through?! You said you loved me!"

"Because I can't be in a relationship where I have to lie to myself everyday. I'm sick of it. I don't love you! I never loved you. I lied to you so you wouldn't be hurt!" Yuki shouted glaring down at the ground.

"Well you're doing a good job in doing that right now." Noraneko snapped sarcastically and turned away from the other boy, hiding the tears that were forming in his eyes.

"I'm only doing this for you, Noraneko. You know things would never work out between us. You're human while I'm a youkai." The red-haired boy said placing a hand on the other boy's shoulder.

Noraneko's eyes instantly narrowed at the gesture and coldly shrugged off the hand on his shoulder and turned around to glare at Yuki. "How do you know what's good for me? How in the hell can you tell me what's good for me! You're definitely not my father or my mother!"

"I just know."

"Well then know this, too. GET OUT!" Noraneko yelled the last part, pointing to the window. His face was flushed with anger and his whole body trembled.

"I-"

"I SAID GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY ROOM!!"

Yuki stared at Noraneko for a moment before turning around and climbing out the window with a wave. "Ja ne, Noraneko."

"It's over…." Noraneko thought before dropping down to his kneel and stared at the spot Yuki once stood with disbelief.

***********

Yuki stood on top of a roof looking down into Noraneko's room with an emotionless expression on his face. For a moment it looked like he was about to break down, but shook his head and jumped from roof to roof on the houses until he got to the forest.

What he had done was best for Noraneko. Noraneko would forget all about him and move on like Yuki was never there. It was the right thing to do and Yuki was trying to convince himself that it, but was failing miserably.

He and his family were going back to their dimension and Yuki couldn't bring Noraneko with him to Makai, especially with his parent's enemy running around the place. Yuki would never forgive himself if anything had ever happened to Noraneko. He had almost wanted to kill himself after he found out what he did to the other boy while he was under Karasu's control.

Yuki landed ungracefully onto the ground and glanced around to come face to face with a capsule home. Without hesitation, he knocked on the door impatiently and shouted. "Sensei! Are you home, Sensei?"

Yuki was about to walk away from the door when he heard a familiar yell. "Hold your horses, Bishounen. I'll be there in a second!" Footsteps were heard through the house before the door swung open. Houshi stood in purple robe and stared up at the redhead. "Bishounen, what are you doing here so late?"

It was so dark outside that she couldn't see Yuki's face until he stepped inside her house. His face flushed and his eyes were puffy. Houshi gasped. "What has happened to you, Yuki-kun?"

******

Furious amber eyes glared into Yuki's making the boy flinch slightly at the women's anger. He had no warning before he was hit in the head with a wooden spoon.

"Itte! (3) " Yuki yelped rubbing the side of his head and avoided eye contact with Houshi, who looked like she was going to kill him at any moment.

"What the hell were you thinking?!" Houshi screeched loudly into the boy's sensitive ear. "Not only have you broken Yagai's heart but made a fool of yourself!"

"I know that!" Yuki snapped rudely at the old women. He glared daggers into the floor. "I knew I made a fool of myself, but this is the best for Noraneko-kun."

"How do you know what's best for Yagai when you don't even know what's best for yourself!" Houshi said glaring down at the boy.

Yuki winced at the tone of his sensei's voice and looked down with sorrow. Houshi was disappointed with him again. It was almost like the time he failed trying to control plants and Kurama was very disappointed in him. Although Kurama didn't say it out loud, Yuki already knew his father was disappointed in him. He could tell by looking into his father's eyes.

Why was he never good enough? Why couldn't he be as graceful as his father? His father was always smart and would never got into a stupid situation like this. Damn it, why did he have to be so useless? Tears of frustration spilled from Yuki's eyes and wetted his cheeks. He was surprised when small arms wrapped around his waist and all the emotions he held bottled up inside himself exploded.

"I hate to hear a child crying." Houshi whispered softly rubbing his back trying to comfort the boy and for the first time since Yuki known the old woman. Houshi wasn't trying to touch him in a sexual way.

"I'm sorry."

"No apology necessary. Everyone's allowed at least one mistake. You've used up yours. Let's not dwell on it."

*********** Sumimasen: I'm sorry (2) doushite ore ni?: Why (are you doing this) to me? (3) Itte!: ow!
