Nekkyo

Anon: Here\'s chapter 2. Sorry it took so long, I kept having to tweak things here and there and don\'t get me started on how hard the ending was! It\'s way way way way longer than I originally intended to make it if that\'s any consolation!^^\'

Chapter Rating: PG13 Don\'t yell at me, the smut is coming eventually!
Much love and much much thanks to yukiislikesnow, Jenny, C4PyroGirl, Shini, person, kyoslover, Devilsheart and Brooke for reviewing!
Before we start, here\'s the whole phone conversation from last chapter because I know everyone\'s just dieing to know what Hatori was saying.
-
\"Ha-san, it\'s Gure-san. I wish I could say this is a social call, but alas I fear it is not. I need you to come take a look at Kyou-kun.\"

\"What\'s wrong?\"

\"Well he\'s acting like he\'s going into heat, but even as the cat he shouldn\'t be experiencing this until he\'s eighteen, am I not correct?\"

\"Yes, in fact that\'s the main reason the cat is locked up.\"

\"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN I\'M ACTING LIKE I\'M GOING INTO HEAT?!\"

\"Dare I ask what the problem is now?\"

\"Hmm? Oh nothing, Kyou-kun\'s just throwing a tantrum, raging hormones and all.\"

\"I see.\"

\"I AM NOT THROWING A TANTRUM! AND LET GO OF MY DAMN HAND!\"

\"Ha-san, was I anything like this when I went into heat for the first time?\"

\"Well you did, and still do, get a little emotional, but Kyou\'s always had a short temper. And let\'s not forget that you were eighteen at the time, and therefore had been given fair warning about it.\"

\"Well that\'s true, I suppose.\"

\"And then there\'s the fact that you weren\'t a virgin when it happened.\"

\"Oh does that really affect it?\"

\"I SAID LET GO! AND QUIT IGNORING ME!\"

\"Virgins are generally more sensitive to the whole thing, espeacially if they\'re not told what to expect ahead of time like Kyou. Speaking of which, you should try to calm him down.\"

\"Well I agree, at least for the sake of my poor eardrums, but do you have any suggestions?\"

\"We give you tummy rubs when you\'re in a bad mood during the beginning process.\"

\"Uh, I don\'t think koneko-chan would appreciate such treatment so early on-\"

\"DON\'T CALL ME THAT!\"

\"It has to do with how our animals are soothed! The heat strengthens the link between the person affected and their animal, not only encouraging the primal urges of sex but also causes actions found INNOCENTLY pleasuarable by the animal to have the same affect on the person in question. Just try gently petting his hair and neck.\"

\"Ah, I see. I guess it\'s worth a try then.\"

And there\'s no more real conversation after that so let\'s move on then, shall we?
-
Kyou glared down at his hand which was once again in the warm, tight grip of Shigure\'s hand. The two were sitting across from each other, awaiting the Sohma clan doctor.

\"So then, I guess I\'ll start by explaining the heat cycle and you can ask any questions you like afterwards.\" the dog said cheerfully, causing the cat to roll his eyes.

\"Well, usually, after turning eighteen the mammals of the zodiac, male and female, go into heat. It can last anywhere from five to ten days, depending on if they have a partner or not. Or partners, as the case sometimes goes.\"

Kyou growled at this, telling himself he simply didn\'t want to hear anything concerning the dogs perverted lifestyle, but a small voice in the back of his head mocked him, reminding him that no one wanted anything to do with the cat, that he was doomed to spend this \'heat\' alone. The thought, however, didn\'t last long before his hand was gently squeezed, and he brought his eyes up to see Shigure smiling softly at him. Kyou blushed and averted his gaze again.

\"The day before the actual proccess starts is the body\'s way of attracting a mate. You urinate more frequently to spread your scent, which admittedly is rather useless in this day and age. Your body feels hot and uncomfortable unless touched to encourage skin to skin contact, and then there\'s the beginnings of the heat scent itself, which affects all of the zodiac animals if they\'ve already matured. After the first heat, which is usually in early winter, each develops their own personal cycle. Most have theirs in mid to late winter, but some have it in early spring, or late fall like me.\"

\"Then why am I supposedly going into heat now? I\'m seventeen(1).\"

\"That, I don\'t know. But Kyou,\" Shigure leaned over and cupped Kyou\'s chin in his free hand. \"I want you to know that you don\'t have to feel like you have to go through this alone just because you\'re the cat.\" He stood slightly and brought his face down close to Kyou\'s, causing the tanned cheeks to flush bright red.

\'What the hell is the matter with you? MOVE!\' Kyou mentally yelled at his body, which sat completly still as the inu advanced.

Shigure was less than an inch away when suddenly the teen felt a cold hand touch the back of his neck, causing him to gasp while at the same time Shigure yelped in pain as he was pulled away by the ear. The cat looked to his right to see Hatori standing there glaring sternly down at the dog.

\"Ow, Ha-san!\" the inu whined.

\"Out.\" Hatori demanded simply.

\"Aw, but this is my study.\" Shigure pleaded, giving the dragon his best puppy eyes.

\"Clearly you can\'t control yourself and I have a patient to examine, so out.\"

Shigure whimpered a bit, but at a rather painful twist to his ear he consented and released Kyou\'s hand as he got back up.

\"Ouch! Alright, alright, I\'m going! I\'ll be right outside if you need me. Be a good boy for the doctor, koneko-chan! And Ha-san, do try to take your own advice.\" Shigure winked at them as he closed the door behind him.

Hatori resisted the urge to roll his eyes at his friend/occasional lovers antics, then turned his full attention to the blushing teen.
...
Shigure sighed and slumped is shoulders in a dejected matter.

\"Darn, I wanted to help play doctor with Kyou-chan.\" he pouted. He perked up a bit though when his sensitive ears heard the sound of the sound of the door being opened and when the person opening the door called out he happily ran to greet him.

\"Gure-san! Your precious Aya is here!\"

\"Aya, my love! I\'m so happy that you\'ve come to see me!\" Shigure crooned as the two lovingly clasped hands in front of a floral background.(AN: I almost got a nosebleed the first time I saw these two doing that)

\"You haven\'t cheated on me while I was away, have you?\" Ayame asked.

\"Alas, I was nearly tempted but fear not! Once you hear the circumstances I\'m certain that not only will you forgive me but you will also agree with me!\"

\"Really? Do tell!\"

\"Our dear sweet little Kyou-chan is going into his first heat.\"

\"No! Kyoukichi-kun?! But he\'s so young!\"

\"I know, that\'s why Ha-san is checking on him just to make sure. I just hope he doesn\'t decide to be TOO thorough though. At least,\" Shigure paused and grinned, \"Not without our supervision.\"

\"Oh yes, absolutley!\" Ayame nodded his agreement.
...
\"Well,\" Hatori began as he put away his stethoscope without removing his fingertips from just beneath Kyou\'s chin. \"I don\'t understand why but you\'re definetley going into heat, there\'s no mistake.\"

\"Kuso.\" Kyou swore softly and averted his gaze. \"What now?\"

\"That\'s up to you.\" The dragon told him. \"If you decide you don\'t want to mate I can keep you sedated and under supervision at the lake house for the duration of it, which would be about ten days.\"

\"Decide? Yeah right.\" Kyou scoffed. \"I\'m the cat, remember? The monster? No one wants anything to do with me at any other time, that\'s not going to all of a sudden change just because I\'m going into heat and if it does then I\'d rather just be out cold instead of used like-\" Hatori quickly forced the teen to look up at him with a quick jerk, startling him from his monologue.

\"That\'s not going to happen.\" the dragon said firmly. \"You underestimate yourself to the extremes. You may be the cat, but first and foremost you\'re Kyou. And I can tell you right now that I know three people who would love to not only help you through your heat but go beyond that and have a true, meaningful relationship with you, if you\'re willing that is.\"

Kyou gulped and felt another blush rising to his cheeks as Hatori leaned down just a little closer. Not nearly as close as Shigure had been, but certainly well out of the doctor-patient boundaries.

\"W-who-\" he began to choke out but stopped completly at the gentle, teasing smirk that played on the doctors soft looking lips.

\"I think you already know the answer to that question.\" the older man said smoothly, carefully leaning down even closer...

\"Ha-san! Guess who\'s come to visit!\" Shigure suddenly called out, rapping at the door and causing Hatori and Kyou to jump. \"Is everything alright in there? I\'m starting to get worried because the two of you have been in there so long.\"

\"Everything\'s fine, Shigure.\" Hatori replied, backing away slightly from Kyou. \"You can have your study back now.\"

Immeadiatly after the door slid open a streak of silver and red flashed through it and before Kyou could react he was tackled to the floor.

\"Kyoukichi-kun! Gure-san told me everything!\" Ayame said as he rubbed his cheek affectionatly against Kyous.

\'Damn it, that heat scent thing must be affecting them already. Shit!\' Kyou weakly struggled beneath the snake.

\"Aya! That wasn\'t very nice!\" Shigure playfully reprimended as he came in. He came in and carefully helped both of them up but instead of letting go right away he sat down and pulled the red head into his lap, Ayame kneeling beside him with his arms wrapped around the teens waist.

\'Baka! What\'s with all the blushing?!\' Kyou mentally screamed at himself as once again he felt his cheeks burn as the two began to nuzzle both crooks of his neck.

\"Kyou-chan, you naughty little kitty,\" Shigure murmured as he gently tightened his grip around Kyous torso. \"You completley ruined our plans, going into heat so early.\"

\"H-huh?\" Was all Kyou could manage to say.

\"Do you have any idea how utterly and totally drop dead gorgeous and sexy you became after hitting puberty?\" Ayame asked, allowing his lips to brush against the shell of Kyou\'s ear. \"But we could hardly approach you since you\'re a minor so we had to wait until your first season, which was supposed to be after you turned eighteen, matenai koneko.\"

\"Not that we\'re complaining, mind you.\" Shigure added. \"In fact this way\'s much easier and considerably less messy.\"

\"Shigure, Ayame, slow down. If Kyou blushes so hard that an artery ruptures I\'ll hold you two responsible.\" Hatori chided as he walked back over to them, after having placed his bag beneath the desk.

\"Aw, Tori-san\'s feeling left out.\" Ayame giggled as he moved behind Kyou and rested his chin on the muscular shoulder.

\"No, I just think that the two of you seem to be forgetting that Kyou isn\'t used to this kind of attention and that your advances may be scaring him.\"

\"I AM NOT SCARED!\" Kyou hissed loudly, cat ears layed back in anger.

\"My mistake.\" Hatori replied apologetically before kneeling in front of him.(AN: In case anyone\'s confused concerning how these four are positioned; Shigure\'s sitting Indian-style, Kyou\'s sitting sideways on his lap, Ayame\'s behind him, and now Hatori\'s in front of him a little off to the side. Skin contact is being maintained because Shigure and Ayame are touching his neck and ear)

\"So, Kyou-kun, have you decided yet what you want to do?\" he asked, close enough to Kyou\'s face that he could almost feel the heat radiating from his reddening face.

Kyou was at a loss. He wanted to blame what he currently felt on something, anything. The heat, teenage hormones, a childhood filled with abandonment and neglect, anything that could excuse him for enjoying being surrounded by his three very good looking male cousins who had just admitted to lusting after him. Wait, what was the question? He tried to answer but no words came out so he just nodded his head.

\'Crap! Why the hell did I nod?! Now what do I do?!\' Kyou shrieked mentally.

\"Good, now would you mind telling us what that choice is?\" Shigure asked, and Ayame chuckled quietly when Kyou could only manage to shake his head.

\"I, I d-,\" the teen stuttered.

\"Take your time, we don\'t want you to feel rushed into something you don\'t want.\" Hatori soothed, placing his hand on the cats neck.

Kyou closed his eyes with a quiet sigh, trying to think. He hated to admit it, he really and truly did, but all of this attention was kind of nice.

\'I\'ve really done it this time! What am I supposed to say? I can\'t think of anything that wouldn\'t make me sound desperate or pathetic. Heat or no heat, I\'ve still got my pride. And how the fuck would it even work? I mean sure I\'ve got some ideas, you can\'t live with a pervert like Shigure for any amount of time without getting an imagination about that kind of stuff, whether you want to or not.\' Kyou\'s train of thought was suddenly interrupted by someone poking his cheek.

\"Are you alright, Kyou-chan? You spaced out on us.\" Shigure commented, giving him another poke. Kyou shook his head furiously, both to clear it and to drive away the irratating digit.

\"I\'m fine.\" Kyou muttered, then after a breif minute to gather up both pride and courage, \"If, if we did, you know, that, it...\" Kyou cut himself off mid sentence; the question was embarrasing enough as it was, but when he realised that he was stuttering he just couldn\'t say it. Then Shigure poked him again, and the teen growled and snapped at him. \"Cut it out!\"

\"You should finish your sentences.\" the dog informed him cheerfully. Kyou growled again, softer this time, and looked down at the ground. \"If we did that, it wouldn\'t be a one night stand? Or five night stand, or whatever.\" he muttered the last bit but it was heard clearly enough.

\"Only if that\'s what you want. But if you want it to be more than that,\" Ayame began, and placed a kiss on Kyous earlobe.

\"Then it can be more.\" Shigure finished, kissing his neck.

\"Much more.\" Hatori added, closing the distance and gently claimed the boys mouth.

Upon feeling three pairs of lips descend upon his skin he tensed, unused to the sensations, but slowly he relaxed and even tried to return the kiss shyly. He must have done something right because Hatori continued the kiss for a few extra seconds after Ayame and Shigure parted before he too broke away.

\"You have to say it, you know.\" Shigure whispered.

\"Huh?\" Kyou blinked a few times.

\"We can\'t do anything without your permission, Kyoukichi-kun.\" Ayame explained. \"You have to say \'Aya, Gure, Hari, I want you all to ravish my adorable sexy virgin body until we all collapse from sweet exhaustion!\"

\"I wouldn\'t suggest being that specific.\" Hatori said, glaring at the snake. \"But you do need to give us verbal permission, that way there aren\'t any mixed signals.\"

Kyou frowned slightly and looked down at the ground. There was no way to avoid it now; regardless of how stupid it sounded it was obvious that the three men currently cuddled up to him weren\'t going to allow this to advance any further until he said it.

\"I want you three to help me through my heat.\" Kyou finally said, his words smooth and clear. The very second he finished saying this his eyes instantly slid shut and he slumped into the three waiting pairs of arms, fast asleep.

\"There, now was that so hard?\" Shigure whispered, knowing from experiance that the teen couldn\'t hear him. As soon as it was verbally confirmed that there would be a mate or mates, the body slipped into a deep sleep to prepare for the upcoming exertions it was to face. Ayame and Hatori stood up and carefully helped their friend up as well as soon as he had the red head secured in his arms.

\"I\'ll go get the car, and don\'t even think about asking to drive, either of you.\" Hatori said as he left, causing the snake and dog cursed to pout and whine loudly before relenting and turning their attention to the unconcious teen.

\"Well this should certainly prove to be an interesting experiance.\" Ayame remarked as he gently ran his fingers through the soft hair.

(1): Please don\'t make me pay strict attention to any time line that I may or may not have missed, I don\'t wanna!

I apologise profusely if Kyou seems OOC in any way, shape or form. Let\'s just take a page from Shigure\'s book last chapter and blame it on raging hormones, alright? I\'m sure any girls reading this can sympathise with that. If the others are OOC, then I\'m sorry because I have no excuse for that. I really appreciated all the reviews telling me that the heat thing never gets old and that the idea of these four all together was a hit!

I actually tried to look up information about a cat\'s heat cycle so I could add to the \'traditional\' male human heat cycle symptoms created by past fans. Only found one thing that would work, but it\'s something! Next chapter should finally be either R or NC17, depending on just how long I decide to make it. Feedback is always welcome. And now I have to go do some more research concerning sexual positions, see if I can find something new. ;)
