White Reflection

Dragonblade: Chapter Two, rewriting it. I hate the way it was written before, so I am fixing it up. Sorry if I spelt any names wrong, I\'m just going with the most common spellings in the 26 episodes I have. Ja! (I now have the first four Manga, so that will be influencing it a bit.)

NOTE: Squeals madly I have a great idea!! You are all going to kill me!!

Chapter 2

Three silhouettes were backed against the metal linked fence, two, which were shoulder to shoulder, and the other was a little further away. The wind had picked up, throwing about the smaller branches of the trees in the schoolyard. Clouds were also moved about by the wind, occasionally blocking the sun, which seemed to glow lightly behind the haze. A strange mosaic was cast upon the cement roof of the school by the clouds - great lumbering mountains of frozen moisture that tumbled upon one another.

Light brown hair was tossed about, sticking to deep pink lips and clinging to long black eyelashes. The young female laughed as even her male companions found it difficult trying to eat around their hair. The bento’s prepared by the young female were balanced on crossed legs and blocked from the wind by black-clad uniformed limbs.

The brunette, Tohru, tucked her legs beneath herself to keep her undergarments from being flashed as the wind continuously flipped up her short blue skirt.

“Oi!” Uotani stepped onto the school roof, Hanajima in tow. The small raven-haired female let out a startled gasp as the wind lifted her skirt. Uo chuckled, her ankle-length skirt barely rising above mid-calf.

Tohru greeted them as she would anyone else; with a warm smile and the wave of a delicate hand. Hana folded her legs beneath herself as she sat before Tohru, looking carefully over the contents of the bento the onigiri held in her lap. The taller blonde sat next to her, in turn placing herself in front of Kyo. The irritated neko growled, his eyes locking with the female as he continued to eat his lunch. Uotani grinned at the familiar suspicious look she was receiving, she went to reach for something in the bento he was guarding, only to have the chopsticks snapped at her fingers.

\"My food, Yankee!\"

She snorted and rested back on her elbows, her long skirt tucked around her crossed legs.

When Kyo sat aside his empty bento, Uo straightened back up and pulled out a deck of cards, “prepared to get your ass kicked?” She asked.

“Bring it on Yankee!” He yelled, rubbing his hands together.

Yuki brought his novel back out, chuckling to himself at the conversation between Uotani and Kyo. A game of Dai-Hin-Min was spread out between the four. The neko would occasionally stretch out one of his long legs to shove the blonde with his foot, who in turn shoved him back with one of her own feet.

Shortly after the game started Momiji and Haru joined them, the small blond skipped out in his altered females uniform. The dual-haired teen followed slowly behind, he sat down quietly next to Yuki.
The red sucker in Momiji\'s hand swung around as he twirled once, skipping over to Hana.

“Ne, ne!” He chirped, wiggling in between the two females. Neither minded, used to the hyper usagi\'s over-affectionate gestures.

Haru\'s hand instantly sought out the hem of the nezumi’s blazer. The gesture was almost unconscious, the cow[1] having become so used to reaching out to his older cousin whenever the two were close[2]. Yuki felt the light tug and cast his large violet eyes downward, his long eyelashes fluttering momentarily. He too had become used to the way Haru stuck to him, from the moment he first met his younger cousin, who had approached him in a fury, the younger male had stuck to him.

Some time in their short lives, the cousinly affection had turned in to love. Yuki believed it was only a phase that the Juunichi went through – drawing close to someone who suffered similarly. As his cousin grew older, Yuki figured Hatsuharu would grow out of his small infatuation, finding a girl (or boy) that he would truly fall in love with.

Although his hand was on Yuki, the ox’s attention was elsewhere. His gray eyes lingered lazily on the card game next to him and the different emotion crossing over his friends faces. His free hand twirled the hoops in his ears; having changed the studs to hoops that morning. [3]

“Sensei [4] wants me to come over tonight …I think he just needs a reason to get Hatori at the house,” He said suddenly, startling everyone.

Tohru blinked momentarily before the words sunk in, “Oh …OH! Hai! It would be nice for Haru-kun to join us for dinner tonight!”

Uo threw one of her cards at Kyo’s head when he started to argue, “Enough Kyon-Kyon!”

“SHUT UP you stupid Yankee!”

“I enjoy Tohru’s cooking, it will be nice to eat with her again,” Haru said softly.

She started waving her hands around frantically, “Uh …um …my cooking isn’t really that special! Umm …” Kyo reached over and tapped the back of Tohru’s head lightly, making her blush and stop ranting.

Haru smiled, enjoying the change in Kyo Tohru had brought about. He had become much more gentle and a lot less prone to violence and tempers (temper tantrums according to Shigure) He smiled in a way that brightened his eyes and made him seem to glow. That gesture was only ever witnessed on the rare occasions he was with, or was talking about his old Master, never on a regular basis.


Dinner went along without any interruptions, meaning; try as he might, Kyo could not bring out Black Haru. Tohru and Yuki had continuously drawn the two apart, and by the time dinner was done, Kyo was stuck to Tohru’s side and Haru to Yuki’s. Neither of the gentler teens minded, enjoying the fact the fighting has ceased and they didn’t have to be alone (or repair the house for that matter).

Yuki stepped out of the small bathroom, only to find Haru waiting for him. The taller teen [5] was leaning casually against the wall next to the door.

“You don’t have to wait for me Haru, I can go to the bathroom by myself you know,” Yuki passed by the other teen, blushing lightly. (It wasn’t everyday someone stood outside the bathroom while you were using it.)

Haru gently grabbed Yuki’s arm as he meant to pass. Yuki turned a sharp eye to the other teen.

Haru released his arm and quietly said, “I know you’re upset, I’m here if you need me.”

Yuki froze, that was the last thing he had expected to come from his cousins mouth. His large purple eyes shivered with unshed tears for a moment before he cast them down, “thank you Haru, but this is something I must deal with on my own.”

Strong, yet gentle fingers tilted Yuki’s narrow chin upwards, violet met gray and a simple question was asked, “why?”

Although his head was tilted upwards, Yuki kept his eyes down, “you wouldn’t understand.”

Haru cocked his head in challenge; his fingers releasing Yuki’s chin to feather along his jaw up to where he fondly cupped his cheek, “try me.”

Unconsciously Yuki pressed into Haru’s hand, his eyes fluttering closed, “I have to deal with this on my own because I don’t know how to otherwise.” He felt Haru’s thumb ghost over his bottom lip and realized he was nuzzling his younger cousins palm. With a jerk he turned his face from Haru, intending to end the painful conversation by leaving.

Haru caught his chin once again, and with a bit of force, turned Yuki back towards him. With swiftness uncommon to him, Haru leant down and pressed their lips together. Yuki’s eyes snapped open in shock when he felt warm, soft lips cover his own.

Haru pulled back enough to remove the pressure to Yuki’s lips, “I do understand, and I want you to know that I will never abandon you, I love you …even though you don’t believe me.” His warm breath moved over Yuki’s lips as he spoke.

Yuki, still frozen in shock, watched as Haru’s gray eyes locked onto his lips, considering whether he should kiss him again or not. Deciding for him, Yuki tilted his head up and closed the distance between the two. Letting his hormones and his pain lead him, Yuki pressed his mouth firmer to Haru’s, working his lips against his cousins. The ox responded immediately, pressing his tongue past Yuki’s unyielding lips. Once the nezumi felt Haru’s tongue brush his own, the situation hit him like a slap in the face and he shoved Haru back.

“Yuki? Wha?” Haru stumbled back, dazed.

Yuki wiped the back of his hand over his mouth, glaring heatedly at his younger cousin. With a shuddered exhale he brushed past Haru and stormed down the stairs.

The gray-eyed male only stared after his cousin, “Yuki …” his voice a mere tremble.


Yuki had gone to bed early that night, ignoring Haru completely for that entire evening. No one knew about what had happened in the upstairs hallway, Yuki himself was barely able to comprehend the situation. All he knew was that he had kissed Haru, and had enjoyed it.

He lay on his bed, listening to the sound of a car engine being cut off and the sounds of Haru leaving.

“Haa-san’s so mean!” Shigure wailed.

Yuki flat out didn’t want to know; when it came to Shigure, the less you knew – the safer you were!

The car engine started again with a choked roar (it sounded like it needed to be sent to the mechanics again, Aaya must have got his hands on the car keys …again [6].) Gravel crunched as the car drove out of the yard, the growl becoming quieter and quieter the further away it became. Muffled voices rose up to the dark room, followed by feet on the stairs. Light leaked in from the side of the door, Yuki cursed himself for not making sure it was closed all the way. He rolled onto his side quickly, his back to the door.

“Yuki-kun?” Tohru slid the door open slightly, peeking into the dark room.

Said male didn’t respond, pretending to be asleep; he couldn’t handle Tohru’s worried eyes and her nervous questions. Not tonight.

“Good night,” she whispered before sliding the door closed. The door clicked when it was closed completely.

Yuki rolled onto his back, staring up at the ceiling. He listened to the others getting ready for bed, from his window he could see the light in Shigure’s study flick on; he must be working on another novel.

Yuki sighed, his mind tumbling over itself as it ran though memories upon memories. Haru’s eyes, his gentle fingers, his lips, his tongue … He sighed again, it was going to be a long night.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You wanna know what’s a bad idea? Looking at Hatori with his shirt unbuttoned pretty much to his navel while listening to Oshitari Yuushi (don’t remember his Seiyuu’s name) talk (or moan, same thing). (Yuushi is from Prince of Tennis by the way) And when he sings, he opens and closes with a moan, and he has this really deep rumbly sexy voice that is like, a liquid orgasm …I shit you not, at one point he opens a conversation (between him, Tezuka, and Inui …who both have really deep sexy voices, but can’t hold a candle to Yuushi) with a really long drawn out moan, it sounds like he’s having an orgasm, and THAT’S what I heard while drooling over Hatori …wow, talk about getting side-tracked! But I had to close the manga before …umm …yeah …too much information yet?

[1] Allow me to quote Shigure: He’s a cow … A COW! That’s funny! Hee hee!

[2] I haven’t made this up, even though he only grabs Yuki in the anime once, in the manga every time the two are close Haru grabs his shirt, tugging on it most of the time.

[3] In the manga, when Shigure goes to the main house for New Years, he meets up with Haru who is wearing all hoops (he has 3 in each ear) but when he meets Tohru on the Endurance Run Day (when he trips Kyo with the rope across the sidewalk XD) he only has a hoop in the first hole and studs in the last two, and when he starts school he is wearing all studs. And since I prefer all hoops, he is wearing all hoops (cause it looks hotter XD).

[4] Incase it’s not in the anime, (I haven’t watched it in so long I don’t remember u.u) Haru calls Shigure Sensei, but I don’t remember what he calls Hatori, I think he just calls him Hatori. *Gets distracted looking at a half-naked Haru (damn you smoke!)* What was I doing? Oh yeah …*Giggles at Haru wearing Kyo’s clothes* …oh …I can’t find what Haru refers to Hatori as …meh.

[5] Going by the anime for this one. In the manga, Haru is like, a centimeter shorter than Yuki, whereas in the anime Haru is taller.

[6] Allow me to quote the manga before I explain why I numbered/wrote that: Aaya: “Tori-san, did you walk here?” Hatori: “No, I’m parked out front.” Aaya: “I’ll drive as an apology!” Hatori: “No.” …so, imagine what would happen if Aaya got Hatori’s car keys …
