Disclaimer: I don't own it.

I wrote this short series as a "random pairings" thing for a friend of mine... and she chose this pairing. ShigurexKyo. Another friend of mine read it, and she liked it too, so I decided to post it. There aren't too many ShigurexKyo stories out there... so its unique in... a way.

You all probably recognise me from my humourous one shots... but this one isn't a funny story. Sorry. I wanted to try something different, something based around conflicting emotions, so this is my attempt. Also, all the chapters are short, probably not even 1,000 words long, so bare with me on this.

Cats and Dogs don't mix.

Part One: Run

"Oh, Kyo!" Shigure sang, extending the end of his name until he was out of breath. Grinning, Shigure swung around his study door, only to see the orange haired cat disappear into the shrubbery that surrounded their secluded house. Shigure sighed. This time, it seemed, his cat had escaped his grasp, and he had been so sure that he'd be able to catch him.

Shigure had been chasing Kyo around for almost three weeks now. His obsession with the teen had started rather randomly, after Kyo forgot to lock the door to the bathroom, and Shigure (thinking nobody was in there) had walked in on Kyo in the shower. Since then, Shigure had made it his "mission" to make sure that nobody but him got his hands on Kyo.

It had all started on one Wednesday Morning…

-FLASHBACK-

Shigure had just woken up. It was the Wednesday he was supposed to go and sign some autographs for his newest literature success, and Mi-chan was expecting him in just under an hour. Trust him to sleep in.

Sighing, Shigure had wondered half asleep to the downstairs bathroom, scratching the back of his head in a dazed motion. Finding the normally open door to the bathroom he shared with the male teens shut, he had knocked twice. When he'd heard no reply, he figured that it was shut for no reason. However, when he'd slid open the sliding door and poked his head around the corner, he'd come face to face with Kyo. Not normal Kyo, but a naked, wet Kyo. Kyo, however, turned straight around, but it didn't matter. Shigure had already decided that he was going to get the hunk of meat – no matter what.

-END FLASHBACK-

Shigure was in no way straight. Sure, he liked girls, but having grown up living with only being able to hug boys, his sexuality had paid the price for it. Perhaps… if he, Hatori and Ayame were born ten years later things might be different. It had always made him wonder who Hatori managed to keep on being straight. Not only that, Shigure and Ayame had "explored" the world of being gay together in their late teens, and Shigure had discovered that he rather liked it. Hatori hadn't spoken to him for weeks afterwards.

Still, only Hatori and Ayame really knew his sexual preferences, and soon, Kyo would too.

Shigure didn't actually love Kyo. Heck, it was far from it. He was just a damn good bit of meat, and now that he was eighteen, he was legal to be with any person of any age. That thought had just made Shigure want Kyo more.

Sighing, Shigure slid the door open to his study, closing it behind him, a small smirk written on his face. He would get Kyo. No doubt about it. The only thing he had to do was wait.

Kyo, however, had been reluctant to submit to Shigure. Heck, he vacated the house except for meal times, where he knew that Shigure couldn't try anything because Tohru and Yuki were there as well, and when he first discovered that Shigure had been after him, he'd brought five locks and attached them to his bedroom door.

Thinking about that now, Kyo was glad he did.

He was currently storming down the path that he'd made himself. It wasn't a very visible path, but it was long enough to actually quell his anger again. That damn dog! He'd been trying to molest him for three weeks. Technically it wasn't molesting anymore, considering he'd hit eighteen a few months before, but it was still close enough. Shigure was ten years older than him, for god sakes!

Still steaming, Kyo rounded the last corner of the trail, jumped over a small ditch, and ducked under a low branch, and then he saw it. It was by far the largest tree in the forest that surrounded Shigure's house, and it was also Kyo's small hideout. He'd been making it for the years he'd been living at Shigure's, and as far as he knew, nobody else knew about it.

He'd even fastened a door into the largest hole in the old oak tree. Heck, inside there was even a table and chairs that he'd roughly made, along with an old futon he had rolled up in the corner just in case he needed to get away for a few days. This was one of those times.

Kyo wrenched the door open, slamming it behind him, and leaning behind it. His small hideout was his only sanctuary from the outside world, and inside he felt safe. If Shigure ever found it… Kyo shuddered when he thought about it. Shigure would probably attempt to coax Kyo into it, and then do who knows what with him.

Kyo shook the thoughts free from his head. Now was not the time to be thinking of that stupid dog. However, no matter how much he tried to cast his mind away from it, it always turned back to the time it had all begun.

-FLASHBACK-

Kyo had been getting ready for Wednesday, one of the worst days of high school, and he was completely out of it. In only a matter of time before Akito locked him up in the cage, so Kyo was trying to enjoy the time he had left. However, when he found himself in an enclosed space, such as the shower cubical where he was now, his thoughts couldn't help but shift there.

He'd been so out of it; he hadn't noticed or heard Shigure knock twice on the door. He only noticed the dog's existence when he'd opened the door, and poked his head inside the bathroom to check. Kyo instinctively turned around, so he didn't notice the amused smirk that came to Shigure's face. Only when Kyo heard the door shut behind him did he turn around.

-END FLASHBACK-

Kyo shook his head vigorously. The thought always made him feel weird and embarrassed. But, he wasn't going to go back to Shigure's. Not until the stupid dog learnt how to be… less… perverted and gay.

The end of part one! Aren't we all so excited to read part two?
