Hey guys! New chapters done, finally… I know! I know! It took me forever. Sorry! Really really really sorry! I am! But I have a good reason. First I got writer's block and then my parents had a big fight so I wasn't really in the mood to write anything and then I got sick and then I recovered and wrote a bit and then I got sick again. I currently have tonsillitis and feel really, really bad but I finished the chapter 'cos I'm so nice. So if anything is a bit sucky, I'm sorry, but you're lucky I'm out of bed right now. --' Anyway, last chapter! Yay! Thank you to my reviewers, my strawberry pocky, my brother (for not kicking me off the pc when I was halfway through typing this up), and Riku-chan-sensei for bugging me to start this chapter in the first place. Chapter 7
"So, let me get this straight. You and Kyo are…?"
"Yes!" Yuki interrupted, this conversation with Haru was dragging on way too long.
"Yuki, that's great!" yelled Haru, and hugged him.
"Haru… get off!" whined Yuki, Haru was choking him and they were needed to leave for school. Yuki had snuck into the main house to tell Haru about him and Kyo, and now they really needed to leave.
"Oh! But I'm so happy!" squealed Haru. He earnestly was; Yuki and Kyo had gotten together… sort of… and Haru was getting a chance to hug Yuki. Now if only Kyo would agree to a threesome…
"Do you want me to be late?" asked Yuki.
"No!"
"Then get off!" yelled Yuki, trying hard not to laugh.
Haru whinged about it, but finally let go and they left for school.
------
"So… you and Yuki-kun are…?" Tohru began, sounding really confused.
"Yes!" interrupted Kyo, "I said it like 5 times already! Now come on or we're gunna be late!"
Tohru blushed and let Kyo drag her away. Her inner Chibi was talking about things poor, innocent Tohru didn't want to hear. Well, that was a lie. She wanted to hear it but not when Kyo was around 'cos then he'd see her blushing. That wasn't good. Luckily for her, Kyo was too busy thinking about how cute Yuki had looked this morning.
------
"So… Yuki and Kyonkichi are…?"
"Yes, Aaya!"
"Oh 'Gure, that's fabulous news! My little brother liking men!"
"Isn't this a bit Déjà vu?" asked Shigure.
"Umm, what do you mean?"
"Wasn't our last conversation the same as this?"
"Yes!" replied Ayame cheerfully, "But with one large difference, we won't end this one with a conversation about whether 'Tori-San would better suit a yellow or pink parasol. This is a purely Yuki/Kyo conversation!"
"With a little Ha-kun added in too," sung Shigure.
"Why, of course! We couldn't forget poor, heartbroken Hatsuharu could we? Maybe they could have a threesome…"
"I'm pretty sure Ha-kun would've already thought of that," replied Shigure.
"Probably." Chorused Ayame, "Maybe we should invite all three of them to a-"

It was lunchtime, and Yuki, Kyo, Haru, Momiji, Tohru, Arisa Uotani and Saki Hanajima were eating on the roof. Yuki was sat in between Haru and Kyo and, much to Kyo's dismay, he was holding hands with Haru. He wasn't sure why, but it had something to do with inner Chibis, ice cream and a teddy called Fowaffle.
"So you and orange-top have made friends then?" Arisa asked Yuki.
"You could say that," replied Yuki.
"No, Arisa, I believe their feelings are much deeper," said Hanajima in her usual creepy tone.
"That's true, Hana-chan!" Said Tohru happily, "Yuki-kun and Kyo-kun are in love!"
Arisa spit out what she was eating due to shock. One look at the boy's simultaneous blush told her Tohru was correct; Yuki and Kyo, rivals since… forever… were in love!
Momiji smiled and began to bug Kyo about being a softy really. He only stopped when he received a fist in the back of his head. Poor Momiji.
"Kyo-Chan, be nice to Momiji!" scolded Haru.
"Will you quit calling me that?" Yelled Kyo.
"Yuki does,"
"So?"
Arisa frowned and interrupted suddenly, "Hey, if they're going out, how come he's holding hands with two-tone?"
"You could use our names, Uotani-san," muttered Yuki, "Haru and I are holding hands because-"
"Haru's heartbroken!" Interrupted Momiji cheerfully, he then crawled next to Haru and patted him on the head, "Haru's first love doesn't love him! Poor Haru!"
"Momiji! You're making me feel bad!" whined Yuki, he was whining a lot today.
"Aw, don't feel bad…" said Haru, going all mushy-eyed.
"Yeah, don't feel bad 'cos Haru's stupid!" said Kyo.
"Don't be so insensitive," reprimanded Momiji, wagging a finger at Kyo like he was some naughty 5-year-old.
"This is me being sensitive," replied Kyo sulkily. He pulled childishly on Yuki's arm until the boy turned to face him. Kyo then hugged him and poked his tongue out at Haru.
In answer to Arisa's quizzical look Haru muttered, "Don't worry, the Sohma family seem to have problems with inner Chibis… No big deal,"
"Oh, you have them too!" squealed Tohru happily.
"Mmm-hmm," replied Haru calmly, "Mine's split, Black's a perv and White's a Ukulele-playing freak. Momiji's is called Derrick and has a potato-men obsession. Yuki's is a pillow-loving 5-year-old and Kyo's is a possessive little kitten,"
"Hey! I don't love all pillows, just Pillow-Chan!"
Everyone turned to stare at Yuki, who blushed and turned to face Kyo's shoulder instead.
"So, you still have that old thing, huh Yuki?" asked Momiji.
"Yes," replied Yuki.
"A pillow?" asked Tohru, looking slightly freaked-out.
"Not just a pillow, it's special!" replied Yuki. The others started to ask him why, and after 10 minutes of constant nagging he gave in.
"Well, Pillow-Chan's not special because of where I got her, seeing as Akito gave her to me. No, it's more… Because of what she meant to me, if I saw Pillow-Chan it meant I was in my bed," Yuki missed out "instead of my dark room" but the other Sohmas knew it anyway, Yuki added in "I was away from my house a lot," for Arisa and Saki's benefit before continuing, "And… I guess she began to become special. I began to drag Pillow-Chan with me wherever I could so I felt safer. And the time when she became really special is when I ran away to Haru's house..."
"Which is oh-so-far…!" interrupted Kyo sarcastically.
"…And the only I brought Pillow-Chan and a spare pair of socks," continued Yuki, choosing to completely ignore Kyo's interruption, "Nobody was home so I let myself in, found Haru's room and tried to wait for him to come back. But… I fell asleep… and when I woke up I was back at the main house with Pillow-Chan under my arm. I was amazed because Akito hadn't noticed an I wasn't in trouble and for some reason came to believe Pillow-Chan cast a magic spell I later found out it was just Haru making sure I wouldn't get into trouble, but still… Pillow-Chan's been there for me ever since,"
Haru smiled, he remembered that incident too. He'd been glad that Akito hadn't noticed Yuki's absence. That had been Haru's biggest worry that night, though all normal people would probably be more worried about something normal like "how did Yuki get in?" or "why is he in my room?"
Tohru smiled, "Yuki-kun, that's so sweet!"
"Hardly," muttered Kyo angrily, and he pawed at Yuki's hair.
Arisa and Saki chose not to say anything, Momiji couldn't say anything; he was crying too much.
"Momiji it's nothing to cry over," said Haru in his blank voice.
Momiji didn't reply, he was now sobbing uncontrollably into Tohru's shoulder. Tohru awkwardly patted his back, careful to avoid actually hugging him.
Now for a Chibi update: Momiji's inner Chibi was now talking to Tohru's. It was an odd conversation, consisting mainly of gay potato-men. The other inner Chibis all muttered "Weird" and wondered off to a Chibi-bedroom, seems Black and White had managed to persuade Chibi Kyo and Yuki to let them have a foursome. How did the Chibi's escape? Who knows. Maybe Rin killed Akito, maybe Shigure wrote something non-smutty or maybe Ayame got his hair cut. And that is the end of the Chibi story, so no more Chibis.
And now back to sanity: it's the end of school and Momiji's dragging everyone to an ice-cream parlour, everyone being Haru, Yuki, Kyo, Tohru, Saki and Arisa.
"I think my Chibi's gone, finally!" yelled Tohru triumphantly; she's just witnessed Kyo, Yuki and Haru all holding hands in a line and not heard dodgy whispers.
"Derrick's gone too," moaned Momiji sadly.
"Black and White have ran off with Chibyu and Chibkyo…"
"Don't call them that!"
"…But I won't say where they've gone…"
Yuki raised an eyebrow, "How do you know what your Chibis are doing when no-one else does?"
"Well, because White was all excited about his first-"
"Ok, I don't want to know!" interrupted Yuki quickly.
Kyo and Haru both looked at Yuki oddly for no real reason. Yuki ignored them.
Half and hour later everyone had just finished their ice creams.
"Well, seeya!" said Arisa.
"Goodbye," muttered Hanajima in her creepy monotone.
Tohru waved them off cheerfully.
"We'll be off too," Haru told Yuki and Kyo, "Before Tori-nee has a fit. You'd better take care of Yuki, Kyo,"
"Don't boss me around, damn cow!"
Haru smiled and began to drag a sugar-high Momiji home.
"Bye-bye-bye-bye-buh-bye!" yelled Momiji, waving manically.
"That's the last time we let him have 5 different flavour syrups on his ice cream," said Yuki boredly.
Kyo sighed and took both Yuki's and Tohru's hands and began to drag them home.
------
That night the atmosphere in Shigure's home was awkward to say the least; Ayame had arrived half-way through dinner and declared that he and Shigure were having a sleepover and had since been asking Yuki and Kyo various embarrassing questions to do with their sleeping arrangements and err… not-so-sleeping arrangements. Tohru was upstairs doing homework, she'd ran off to her room as soon as Ayame asked whether Yuki and Kyo slept together yet and was too scared to come down again; now that her Chibi was gone Tohru had returned to the childish innocence you'd expect.
Eventually she heard Yuki and Kyo making their way upstairs. With a blush she realised they'd both gone into Yuki's room.
"Ah, finally!" sighed Yuki, flopping onto the bed, "I thought we'd never escape!"
Kyo sat on the edge of the bed, "Yeah, I thought I could endure maybe a bit longer, but when he started on positions…"
Both boys laughed awkwardly.
Yuki yawned. "I'm tired…" he muttered, rubbing his eye with the back of his hand.
"You look like a kitten when you do that," teased Kyo, "But I'm tired too,"
"Do you want to…" began Yuki awkwardly.
"Sleep in your room?" Yuki nodded. "Yes!" said Kyo delightedly, and he collapsed on the bed without a further word on the matter. Yuki rolled his eyes and lay down next to Kyo. They were both asleep within a minute.
Yuki woke up in the early hours of the morning, or at least what he presumed was the early hours of the morning. He really didn't want to wake up yet; Kyo was too comfy. He yawned again, and put his head on Kyo's chest. To Yuki's surprise, Kyo's chest made a better pillow then Pillow-Chan. Yuki raised his head tiredly and glanced at his neglected pillow friend. Pillow-Chan needed a new home, that was for sure, Yuki didn't want his best non-human friend getting lonely just 'cos Yuki was in love with a boy with a comfy chest. Yuki yawned again and resolved to solve the problem in the morning.
-------
That morning, at school, Yuki and Kyo were the centre of attention. Some Yuki Fanclub girl had seen them holding hands on the way to school, so everybody knew they were going out. Kyo had been slapped about a dozen times already; a lot of girls thought it was Kyo's fault Yuki wasn't in love with them, Kyo had also been hugged about a dozen times by boys who proclaimed Kyo had "given them a chance with Prince Yuki".
Apart from that, the day passed without anything interesting going on. On the way home Yuki went ahead because he "had to get something."
When Kyo and Tohru got home Yuki wasn't there. According to Shigure he'd come in and then left a couple of minutes later with his darling Pillow-Chan. Kyo snorted at the title "his darling Pillow-Chan" and skulked of to the roof to sulk.
-------
At the main house Haru stared blankly at his maths paper. He counted to 60 and then turned on the TV.
"Haru, what are you doing?" asked a voice from the doorway.
Haru looked up to see Yuki staring at him as though he were mad, which, come to think of it, he probably was.
"Homework," Haru replied blankly, glancing at an item Yuki was trying to hide behind his back.
"Homework…?" repeated Yuki.
"Yes, I'm rewarding 60 seconds of maths with 5 minutes of TV,"
Yuki laughed and sat down next to Haru on the sofa. He was still hiding something.
"So, you snuck in again? Twice in one week, Yuki, you sure know how to make a guy feel special,"
"Mm-hmm, I came to give you this," replied Yuki. He pulled Pillow-Chan out from behind his back and passed her carefully to Haru.
"Pillow-Chan? Err, why?"
"Because…" answered Yuki awkwardly, "I've found my replacement…"
Haru blushed. He stared at the pillow in his arm then hugged it hard. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" he said happily.
Yuki laughed shyly. "I've got to go, Kyo'll be worried about me otherwise,"
"Yeah… Yuki, it's nice you've found someone, I'm glad…"
"I know. Maybe it'll work out with Rin," replied Yuki from the doorway.
"Mmm, maybe," said Haru, "Bye Yuki, I love you!"
"I know," muttered Yuki sadly, and with that, he left.
Haru stared glumly at the door, then bounced on sofa gleefully and yelled, "I got Pillow-Chan!"
The End.
Oh dear, I finished badly. I suck at endings. ;;
Ah well. I'm expecting at least two reviews for this (I set my sights low so I don't get too upset if nobody loves me after I took so long to type this damn thing) so review please!
And now, I'm going back to bed so I can sleep! I really feel ill. Feel sorry for me. I want pity, dammit! --'
