Suppressed

AN: Hey guys... thanks for your faithful reviews! I
decided to go ahead and cut this chapter a little
shorter than I had planned. This one is kind of choppy
and light on plot, but I\'ll be wrapping up soon, (two
or three more maybe?) I hate giving numbers because
then I\'ll think of something good, or something will take
longer to explain than I thought... you know how it goes.
The last few will be extremely plot heavy. As always,
criticism is welcome.
Speaking of criticism... I had Yuki and Kyo call each
other by pet names in the chapter before this one. (My
partners and I have always had pet names for each
other, and it seems like the Furuba character\'s all do
too) One of my beloved reviewers said they didn\'t
like it. I left them out of this chapter, but what is
the general consensus? Should I cut them for good?


“I want to take you on a date.” Kyo announced one
afternoon as he snuck into Yuki’s bedroom.

The rat turned with a blank look in his eyes. “What?”

“You heard me! Me, you, out somewhere.”

“Stupid cat, have you forgotten that if someone finds
out about us, we’re finished?”

Kyo grimaced, he hated when Yuki spoke so
fatalistically. He swallowed it. “Yeah, yeah, we’ll go
somewhere obscure, out of town even, if that’s what
you want.”

“And how exactly are we going to orchestrate this
without raising suspicion?”

Kyo shrugged. “We’ll figure something out.”

The rat chewed on his lip. “Well, you could be
spending time with Shishou, of course you’d have to
clear it with him first.”

“I could do that. What about you?”

“I’m always out doing things for student counsel. I
could be at meetings and running errands and such.”

Kyo pounced on him. “You’re so smart!” He planted loud
kisses all over Yuki’s face and neck.

Yuki batted him away. “Quiet, someone will hear you!”

“Oh come on you damn rat,” Kyo pouted. “Tohru’s at
work and Shigure’s sleeping. You know he’s never up
during the day.”

Kyo climbed back on top of Yuki, nipping gently at the
flesh around his neck. Yuki groaned as he descended to
his collar and started loosening his tie. After
capturing his lips, the rat toyed with the buttons on
Kyo’s uniform top, sliding his palms across his chest
before stopping at each button. The kitty shivered.
Yuki’s touch was electrifying. He pushed Kyo’s shirt
off of his shoulders, hands roaming down his taught
back before they rested gently at his hips. Kyo’s
hands were shaking. He was having difficulties with
Yuki’s small buttons. Something about the way Yuki’s
hands were sliding effortlessly about his skin. The
mouse chuckled at Kyo’s predicament. He pushed the cat
aside and unfastened his own buttons. Kyo was a little
embarrassed, but this was quickly buried as Yuki
smothered him with a rough kiss. He pulled away. Kyo
was mystified at the dark confident emotions looming
about Yuki’s face. He looked so in control. Calm and
collected, yet devious. He showed his experience, a
thought that Kyo tried to push out of his mind. Kyo
slid Yuki’s top off of his shoulders, trying
desperately not to shudder at the marks that marred
his body. He closed his eyes and buried his face into
the rat’s neck as Yuki began to flex his hips into
Kyo’s.

“Mmm.” Kyo grumbled as the friction worked over his
erection. He reveled in the feel of Yuki’s skin
against his own. Though his hormones longed for more,
he would have been content lying in Yuki’s arms,
experiencing his lover’s skin against his own.

Luckily for his hormones, Kyo felt Yuki’s nimble
fingers unfastening his pants. Kyo’s erection pulsed
in anticipation, straining painfully against the
fabric that sought to contain it. He shifted as the
rat fiddled with his zipper, allowing his penis to
peek though the hole in his boxers. Yuki fell to his
side, running his hands up the clothed legs of the
cat. Kyo grumbled loudly as he felt Yuki’s palm graze
his testicles. The anticipation was driving him
insane.

“Mmm, Yuki.” He mumbled, his own hands seeking to
imitate Yuki’s actions.

Yuki pushed his hand away. “Later.” He whispered
authoritatively, cupping the inside of his thigh.

Kyo complied, groaning as Yuki’s palm worked its way
down the waistband of his boxers. He jerked. His
erection was situated in the soft flesh between the
rat’s thumb and forefinger. He peered over at Yuki who
was propped up on one elbow, eyeing him from beneath
his brow with a half smile that spoke of untapped
lust. Kyo shivered. He didn’t know this Yuki, but he
sure as hell wanted to.

Yuki leaned forward. He pushed Kyo’s chin up with his
nose and captured the skin of his neck between his
teeth. The rat sat up and squatted between Kyo’s legs.
The cat tried to maintain his blurred eye contact with
the Yuki. His eyes faltered, tracing the outline of
his creamy silhouette against the fuzzy atmosphere
that appeared to envelope him. His pants puckered at
his pockets, accentuating his narrow hips. Kyo
imagined latching on to those hips, steadying himself
as they made love. He groaned as his imagination
produced this graphic image. Yuki pulled Kyo’s pants
and boxers past his ankles, discarding them on the
floor.

Kyo gasped. He suddenly felt very vulnerable lying
naked before his love. His eyes flickered up toward
Yuki who in this moment looked very tender, staring in
awe at his exposed body. The rat grabbed Kyo’s ankles,
slowly sliding his hands up the insides of his legs.
Kyo was enjoying every moment of this indulgence, and
he could tell by the placid expression on Yuki’s face
that he felt the same. Yuki leaned forward as he
approached his upper thighs, never breaking eye
contact. Kyo’s hips twitched, beckoning the mouse. He
settled comfortably between the cat’s legs, his lusty
fire vise returning. Kyo couldn’t contain his shudder
of anticipation as Yuki licked his lips only
centimeters from his raging erection. He groaned and
cupped the side of Yuki’s face, gently raking his
nails down his flesh. Yuki swirled his tongue around
Kyo’s head. The cat sucked in his breath, unable to
control the twitches and flicks of his lower body.
Yuki’s eyes remained dark and heated as he refused to
look away from the squirming cat. He rolled his tongue
down his shaft, capturing his testicles in one hand
and stroking his erection in time with his tongue with
the other. Kyo couldn’t handle it anymore. His eyes
rolled back in his head and he pressed his head into
his pillow, moaning breathily. He ran his fingers
through the rat’s hair, latching on to him as if he
were going to leave.

“Gods Yuki,” he whispered as his length disappeared
into his mouth. “I love you.”

A low moan escaped from the mouse’s throat. The
vibrations sent shockwaves pulsing through the cat’s
body. He shuddered again, praying Yuki would settle
into a rhythm soon. The rat must have picked up on
this vibe, because he began bobbing his head in a slow
steady tempo. Yuki seemed to know exactly how to push
Kyo’s buttons, knowing exactly how fast to go, and
when to pull back in order to prolong his pleasure.
Kyo was going nuts. He’d never felt anything so
amazing in his life. Though he longed for this to
continue, he needed his release. His shallow pants
became impatient and pleading. The rat picked up his
pace, bouncing his head faster and faster in time with
Kyo’s breathing.

“Ahh,” Kyo panted as every muscle in his body tensed.
He couldn’t hold on much longer. “Yuki,” he mumbled,
“oh god!” His body began to shake as he exploded into
the mouth of his lover. His vision was fractals of
dazzling nothing. He relaxed at once, body still
trembling as Yuki released his spent manhood.

Kyo watched as Yuki’s gaze softened. He stared
tenderly back into the cat’s eyes, finally crawling up
and settling with his face buried in the hot flesh of
his neck. Kyo closed his eyes. His heart was still
racing, sending pulsing butterflies throughout his
body. Dazed. he rolled to face Yuki, who was gazing at
him intently, yet lovingly. He captured the rat’s lips
and moved to take a dominant position.

“Kyo,” Yuki began, “if I moved too fast… I know we
haven’t… I mean you don’t have to…”

The cat cut him off with a rough kiss. “ Oh shut up,
you damn rat! I want to make you feel as good as you
just made me feel.”

Kyo began fiddling with Yuki’s pants, reveling in the
vulnerable but excited look gracing his lover’s
features. He pulled his pants and underwear off of him
and paused to take full stock of the naked boy before
him. He could see traces of welts marring Yuki’s legs
as well as his back. He sighed, pushing the graphic
images of his dream far from his mind. The gentle ‘V’
of his torso drew Kyo’s eyes and hands to Yuki’s small
hips.

“Mmm…” ‘hips.’ Kyo thought, gently pressing his
thumbs underneath his hipbones.

He leaned forward to kiss him while his hands traveled
down the length of Yuki’s legs. He paused at his
knees, pulled them up and his hands wandered up the
back of his thighs. Yuki’s hands worked their way up
from Kyo’s sides to his hair; he laced his fingers
through the sweaty tendrils. Kyo playfully squeezed
Yuki’s buttocks before his palms again found Yuki’s
hips. He sighed again wondering how and when he became
so obsessed with hips. Kyo could feel Yuki’s erection
pushing against his leg. Without breaking their
passionate kiss, the cat opened his eyes to see Yuki’s
features straining with desire. The rat must have felt
Kyo’s eyelashes brush his cheek, because his eyes
opened. Kyo was exhilarated by the look of want and
need pouring from his celestial violet spheres. Kyo
began to place a trail of kisses down the rat’s neck
and chest. Yuki sat up, briefly resting his back on
the wall. Kyo continued his downward descent. He
suddenly felt afraid as he approached his destination.
Honestly, he had no idea what he was doing. He looked
up at the rat timidly. Yuki’s eyes were clouded with
passion. The cat noticed how shallow his breathing had
grown. The rat moaned softly, gaze filling with
longing. He leaned forward resting his forehead on the
small of Kyo’s back and wrapped his arms around his
back. Completely enclosed in the rat, Kyo felt safe
and self-assured. It seemed as if his instincts would
guide him through. He took the length of Yuki’s penis
into his mouth. He felt Yuki’s body tremble around
him.

“Kyo.” He breathed.

The kitty expected his voice to assume its usual
feminine timber, but it resounded with a masculine
husk that seemed almost familiar. Kyo remembered this
voice from one of his dreams he had a long time ago.
He pushed this recognition from his mind and
concentrated on the task at hand. If he was going to
bestow upon Yuki the kind of pleasure he had brought
him, he was going to have to focus completely. Kyo
massaged the rat’s testicles with his coarse palm. He
felt Yuki shudder around him, again panting his name.
He ran his shaking hands down the cat’s sides, finally
latching onto him, hugging him tightly. The feeling of
intimacy that filled the cat’s consciousness enveloped
him, spurring him on. Kyo squeezed Yuki’s erection and
set a quick tempo. He could feel Yuki’s heart echoing
through his body; it began to race. His hips twitched
in time with Kyo’s undulations. The cat felt him suck
in his breath. He fell back on his elbows, head
bumping gently against the wall. Kyo glanced up at
him. His eyes were pleading, but seemed incognizant of
all other goings on. Kyo sped up.

“Ahh! Kyo!” Yuki panted, raking his head against the
wall.

Kyo could feel the rat tense underneath him. He
prepared for him to cum. He felt Yuki approach his
apogee. His body locked, breathing stopped. He finally
let go, his body shaking. Kyo could feel hot liquid
streaming down his throat. Yuki fell to one side,
tightly grasping the hands of the kitty.

“God.” He panted, pulling Kyo up to him.

Yuki settled on his back. Kyo climbed on top of him,
pushing a single strand of sweaty hair off of the
rat’s forehead before kissing it gently. Their eyes
met. Kyo felt that familiar ripple in his stomach. The
one he felt as the rat was charming him. He drew his
breath in quickly, unable to break the intense eye
contact that froze him in place. He doubted Yuki even
knew what he was doing.

‘It must be nice…’ He thought.

Yuki’s eyes fluttered shut, eyelashes gently kissing
his cheeks. Kyo allowed this love to overcome him as
he drew it in though his nostrils. He relaxed onto
Yuki’s bare chest, exhaling deeply as the rat’s arms
encircled his figure. His fingers trailed gently along
Kyo’s sides. The kitty closed his eyes contently,
enjoying every inch of contact he shared with Yuki’s
naked flesh. He pulled Yuki’s blankets over the two,
smiling softly as his breath slowed.

Kyo felt Yuki stir beneath him. He sat up. “What’s
going on?” He asked sleepily.

“I have to pick Tohru up from work.” Yuki replied,
rubbing his face.

Kyo snapped his head toward the window. “Is it that
late already?” He asked.

Yuki nodded, pulling on his pants.

Kyo stretched. “Can I come with you?” He asked.

Yuki shrugged. “If you want to.”

“Yeah,” he replied. “Besides, you’re so girly someone
might try to kidnap you too.”

Yuki glared at him. “And you can’t even beat me, what
does that say about you?”

Kyo snapped his mouth shut, glaring back at the rat.
He slipped his arms around Yuki’s waist, resting his
head on his shoulder. Yuki kissed him on his forehead.


“If you want to come, you’re going to have to get
dressed.”

Kyo nodded, drew Yuki’s blankets around his waist, and
disappeared out the door.

“I’m going to need those back, stupid cat!” Yuki
called down the hall.

Kyo dressed quickly, meeting Yuki in the hallway as he
headed downstairs.

“Morning, you two!” Shigure called. They ignored him.
“Hey, where are you going?” He asked.

“To get Tohru.” Kyo mumbled, tying his shoes.

“Together?” He asked scratching his head.

Yuki shrugged. “She would enjoy it, don’t you think?”

Shigure nodded, still looking at them sideways.

“Hurry up, stupid cat. We’re going to be late.” Yuki
disappeared out the door.

“Damn rat.” Kyo muttered following him, and slamming
the door loudly behind him. He kissed Yuki on the
cheek, and they started on their path.

The night air was cool on Kyo’s cheeks, a brief
reprise from the muggy days that so often oppressed
him. He thought of the approaching summer. He glanced
at Yuki and smiled. Last summer he harbored so much
hatred for the rat. This time it was going to be
different. He laced his fingers through Yuki’s earning
one of his rare, but genuine smiles. They arrived at
Tohru’s building waiting silently for her to appear.

“So where do you want to go?” Yuki asked suddenly.

Kyo’s ears perked up. “What are you talking about?!?”

Yuki rolled his eyes. “On our um… date.”

“Oh.” Kyo blushed. He shrugged. “Dinner and a movie? I
know it’s cliché… if you have any better ideas…”

Yuki shook his head. Speaking softly he replied. “No,
that sounds wonderful.” He smiled again.

‘Wow.’ Kyo thought, suddenly transfixed within Yuki’s
violet eyes. He’d never get used to that smile, or the
way Yuki’s eyes sparkled when he was caught within his
vise.

The door opened interrupting their soft gaze.

“Hi guys!” Tohru chirped. “I get two escorts today?”

The two smiled warmly at her, each grabbing one of her
hands as they pulled her along home.

“I keep telling you this isn’t necessary.”

“And I keep telling you,” Yuki began, “that it isn’t
safe for a young woman to be roaming about at night.”

Kyo snickered, glancing at Yuki.

The rat glared at him. “See previous comment about
said subject.”

Kyo glared back.

Tohru smiled. “Hey, it’s nice to see you two getting
along again!”

“I DO NOT GET ALONG WITH THAT DAMN RAT!!!” Kyo
snapped. He wondered if he was protecting their
relationship or if his response was a knee-jerk
reaction to that accusation. “Ah… I didn’t mean it
like that.” He added, noting her surprise.

“She isn’t stupid, stupid.” Yuki commented.

“YEAH, WELL AT LEAST I’M NOT…um…” He couldn’t think of
an insult!

“Girly?” Yuki offered, chuckling.

“YEAH, GIRLY!!!” His eyes slid sideways taking in the
sight of Yuki’s feminine form. ‘But that’s not an
insult.’ He thought. He sighed, imagining that he was
cradling that body, flesh against flesh.

Tohru squeezed his hand gently, but he was too
distracted to offer much of a response. He could think
only of Yuki. He loved Tohru, but he wanted to be
holding Yuki’s hand, is that so wrong? What is so
terrible about proclaiming your love to the world. He
wanted to tell Tohru, he wanted to tell Shishou, he
wanted to tell Akito. As they arrived home Kyo went up
to the roof to sulk. As per usual, it wasn’t long
before Tohru crept up the ladder and made her place
beside him.

He jumped. “GAH! Why do you always gotta do that?!?”
He asked trying to smooth down his hair, which was
currently standing on end.

Tohru giggled. “I just wanted to see what was up.”

Kyo shrugged.

“Maybe you’re tired of pretending to hate Yuki?” She
asked.

Kyo’s jaw dropped. ‘I swear, sometimes her insight is
impeccable. Or is it that obvious?’ He was worried.

Tohru smiled. “Don’t worry,” she assured him, “it
isn’t that obvious… it’s just, well… I’ve seen the
process of enemies befriending each other before and…
well you and Yuki’s not ignoring you anymore so I
figured…”

“You don’t have to explain.” Kyo interrupted. “As big
of a dope as you are,” he smacked her on the forehead,
pushing her back gently, “you sure know how to read
people… sometimes.” He laughed. “But a lot of times
you’re just a dope!”

“D-dope?” She stammered.

“Oh you know, thinking everyone hates you all the
time… ah, never mind. That came out wrong.”

She smiled. “My mom always said there’s a thin line
between love and hate.”

Kyo nodded, scratching his head. “I think I’ve heard
that somewhere before… but it’s not about that. I mean
he doesn’t want to tell anyone we’re becoming um…
friends.” Kyo turned to hide his blush. “And I guess
after last time…”

“You know about last time?!?” Tohru asked, wide eyed.

‘I thought she didn’t know about that.’ He thought.
“You mean when he was getting close to Haru?”
Questions filled her eyes. “Yuki told me all about it,
and Akito’s, um… punishment.”

She relaxed. “I see. I just thought you didn’t know.”
She was staring off into the distance. “He will… when
he’s ready. Mom said that it’s difficult to learn to
trust people.”

“He hasn’t got anything to worry about from me!”

“I know that, but he’s been hurt so many times before.
You could hurt him and it wouldn’t even be your fault.
Sometimes things just seem impossible.”

Kyo leaned back on the roof. “I’m trying to be
patient. BUT I’M REALLY BAD AT IT!!! Damn rat.”

“Never give up!!!” Tohru chirped.

“I won’t.” ‘I already promised myself I’d never let
him go.’

Tohru patted him on the back and headed down the
ladder. Kyo followed. He needed to call Shishou to
prepare for his date. His stomach twittered in
anticipation… He just had to figure out what to tell
Shishou he was going to be doing. He picked up the
phone. “Here goes… everything.” He whispered. He
dialed the number.

“Hey Yuki!” Kyo called, chasing him up the stairs.

Yuki turned to face him. He raised his brow
inquisitively.

“I uh… talked to Shishou. He said he’d cover for me,
or well… us.”

Yuki smiled. “That’s good.” He paused. “Did you tell
him?”

Kyo shook his head. “I just told him I wasn’t getting
into any trouble, and that I’d tell him everything
when I’m ready.” The conversation with Shishou echoed
in his mind. ‘We’ll tell you everything when we’re
ready…’ ‘You’re acting very grown up, Kyo. So you’re
going on a date then, might I assume?’ ‘Yes.’ ‘I see.
Can you at least tell me where you’re going? And
please call me when you get home.’ Kyo sighed. He
sounded like any concerned father. He wondered what he
would do if he knew.

“You can… tell him if you want.” Yuki said softly. He
paused at his bedroom door. “I still need my covers
back, stupid cat.”

Kyo gave him a coy smile. “I’m holding them hostage.”
He started to his room. “Are you coming to get them?”
He asked. Yuki glared at him and stalked to his room.
Kyo’s heart was light. ‘Did he really mean it?’ He
wondered. It wasn’t exactly public, but it was a
start.

As Yuki entered Kyo’s room, the kitty closed and
locked the door behind him. Yuki’s jaw dropped.
“Again?” He asked, muttering something about an
insatiable sex drive.

“Ah… come on, Yuki. That was hours ago.” He teased.
“But that’s not why I kidnapped your covers, I want
you to… stay with me.” Kyo blushed and looked at his
feet. He peeked up at Yuki who was biting his lip
nervously. “I always sleep better when I’m with you,
and it’s not like we haven’t done it before.”

Yuki smiled softly, slowly releasing his lip from his
teeth. He looked positively cute standing there so
nervously in his light blue pajamas. Kyo captured his
hands and pulled him down onto his bed. Kyo pulled his
blankets over them peering lovingly into Yuki’s tired
eyes.

“I sleep better when I’m with you, too.” He shrugged.
“The only time I can actually sleep is when I’m with
you.” He added as an after thought.


Kyo sighed. He’d hoped Yuki’s troubles sleeping had
subsided like his. “Why can’t you sleep?” He asked.

Yuki cupped Kyo’s cheek, running his thumb along the
bone structure of his cheek. “I don’t know. It’s
nothing for you to worry about.”

Kyo felt dazed. He was a little dizzy as he stared
into Yuki’s sparkling eyes. He nodded unsure of what
they had been talking about. “Hey, quit charming me,
you damn rat!”

Yuki kissed the kitty lightly on the lips. “So you
admit I’m charming them?” He asked.

“Well, yeah!” Kyo was a little embarrassed of how
quickly he answered that question. “I wish I could
effect you like that.”

Yuki slid his hand up Kyo’s side. “Believe me, you
already do.”

They were lost in each other’s soft kisses. The carnal
desire that pulsed between them earlier that day was
replaced by a gentle longing. The desire to touch and
be touched. They lay naked in the other’s arms, hands
exploring every inch of exposed skin. Kyo’s hand
traveled up Yuki’s forearm, coming to rest in his
palm. He received at gentle squeeze in reply. They
didn’t further their strokes to anything heated. There
was no need to. Eventually, they fell asleep, Kyo’s
face buried in Yuki soft neck and their fingers still
intertwined. The moonlight kissed their soft, sleepy,
skin goodnight.

The persistent beeping of Kyo’s alarm ripped him from
his pleasant dreams. His mind was quieted as he
realized he really was curled up against the soft
naked flesh of his lover. He turned off his alarm
clock and gently kissed Yuki’s lax lips as he remained
in his sleepy stillness. Kyo hurried out to do his
morning training. The morning air was refreshing, but
it was setting up to be a hot day. He finished up and
hurried upstairs to change. Yuki was blindly stumbling
around trying to find his way to the bathroom. Kyo
chuckled, helped him find his way, and began to get
ready for school.

He panicked. Dashing downstairs he called, “Hey Tohru,
did you wash my uniform?”

She looked up from the stove. “Nope, I haven’t done
laundry in a couple of days. Can’t you find it?”

“No, I’ve looked all over my room.”

“Maybe it’s under your bed. I’ll go help you try to
find it.”

The two searched every inch of Kyo’s room. He huffed
and flopped on his futon. “Where the hell could it
have gone?!?” He noticed Yuki standing in his doorway
wearing a coy smile.

“What the hell do you want, rat boy?!?”

Yuki raised his brow and held out some black fabric.

“WHERE’D YOU GET THAT, YOU DAMN RAT?!?”

“Think about it, stupid cat.”

“Oh.” Kyo blushed and grabbed it from the grinning
mouse.

“Where’d you find it, Yuki?” Tohru asked.

“I… left it in the bathroom last night.” Kyo
interjected, praying Tohru didn’t notice his scarlet
face.

“Oh!” She smiled and bounced out the door.

Kyo growled at Yuki, shucking his pants and pulling on
his uniform. “WHY DIDN’T YOU GIVE THAT TO ME
EARLIER?!?”

“Because it was funny.”

He glared at the rat, but his smiling eyes wouldn’t
allow Kyo to really be mad at him. “Are you excited
for our date?” He asked.

Yuki nodded, arms encircling the half naked cat.
“It’ll be nice to get away.” He placed a deep kiss on
Kyo’s lips, turned on his heal, and made a sassy,
dramatic exit.

Kyo shuddered. ‘I’d better not tell him he looked
like Ayame just now…’

***

It was Saturday evening. “Tohru,” Yuki called, peeking
his head into the dining room where she was busy
scuffling around. “I have a bunch of stuff for student
counsel tonight. We’re having some coordination
problems, so it’ll be late. You don’t have to worry
about me for dinner.”

“Oh Yuki, that’s too bad. Do you want me to leave you
some leftovers for you to heat up when you come home?”


Yuki shook his head. “No thanks, we’re ordering
takeout. Besides, I’d probably burn it.”

“You’d definitely burn it!” Shigure sang. “Where did
you say you were going?”

“Student counsel.”

“On a Saturday night?” He asked.

Yuki shrugged. “We’re really far behind.”

“You’re lame.” Kyo commented from the corner.

“It’s better than being stupid, stupid.”

“O.K. girly man! You wanna fight?!?” ‘I hope he says
no.’

“No.”

‘Whew.’ “What? Are you scared?”

“No.”

“Then where are you going?!?” Kyo shouted.

“To the bathroom. Are you following me, pervert?”

Kyo blushed. “NO! GO AWAY!!!”

“I’m trying, you’re following me.” Yuki said curtly
slamming the bathroom door.

“Damn rat!” Kyo muttered, squatting next to his shoes.

“Where are you going?” Shigure asked.

“To see Shishou.”

Shigure’s eyes sparkled. “So I get to be alone with my
precious flower?”

Kyo punched Shigure in the face. “YOU SICK BASTARD!”
He turned to Tohru. “Why don’t you call Hana or Uo
over tonight?”

Her eyes lit up. “GOOD IDEA!” She dashed toward the
phone.

Kyo pulled Shigure up by the collar. “If you do
anything to her, I’ll kill you.”

The dog cried. “What? Don’t you trust me?”

“No.” Kyo released Shigure roughly and headed out the
door toward Shishou’s house.

“BE SAFE!” He heard Tohru call as he disappeared into
the woods.

He flapped his hand in her direction, excited as their
plan was taking shape. He’d go to Shishou’s for a
couple of hours, then meet Yuki at a designated bus
stop. Kyo just knew this was going to be the best
night he had ever experienced. The kitty didn’t know
how right he was.
