Oooook, so the wait for this is inexcusable, so I'm not even going to try; just know that my muse died. Also, I figure -if all goes well- I may or may not be able to finish this within bout 4 more chapters. This number is entirely up to how much people want to hear about after...well, you'll see.

Some not so fluffy chapters, cause every story needs a conflict. Please enjoy. ^^

"I can't believe this! Who does he think he is? That stupid, little-"

"Kagura, could you please keep your voice down?" I interrupted her as she walked by, startling her.

"Hatori-san! You won't believe it! Yuki-kun was acting was so strangely yesterday! He wouldn't let me anywhere near Kyo-kun!" I sighed, putting my hands in my pockets as I thought of a way to answer her and make her leave Kyo alone.

"Kyo is sick, stress is very bad for him right now. Yuki was doing as I had asked him to." Her eyes widened and a hand went to her mouth.

"Oh no! And I didn't help at all! How long is he going to be sick? Do you know?" I had to try very hard not to laugh as I answered her.

"A few months at least, sorry. It would be best if you didn't add to an already stressful situation." The look on her face wasn't helping and I bit the inside of mt cheek. Then suddenly Ayame came out and saved me from having to answer any more questions.

"Haa-san, could you help me with- oh hello Kagura! I'm going to have to steal Haa-san back now. Have a good day." He left no room for argument as he grabbed my wrist and pulled me back in to the house, shutting the door behind me.

"What's the problem? Let go." Ayame did as I asked and huffed.

"Nothing, I just looked out of the window and over heard what you two were talking about. Honestly, why must something be wrong every time I look for you?" I snorted and walked further into the living room, surprised when Aya came up behind me to give ma a hug.

"And you felt the need to do this because?" I could tell he was smiling when he answered me, I could hear it in his voice.

"I love you." I rolled my eyes but nevertheless brought a hand up to the arms encircled around me, smiling just a little.

"I love you too Aya."

xXx

I groaned as I slowly woke up, feeling something warm to my right. I cracked one eye open to see Yuki sleeping next to me. I sighed and moved closer, closing my eyes and attempting to go back to sleep. I'd almost accomplished this when-

"Kyo!"

"Ahh!" My eyes flew open to see lavender staring down at me from the weight atop my chest.

"What was that?!" Leo just grinned, Yuki stirring next to me.

"Morning! Come on!"

"Come play!" I looked over to see Suo tugging at my arm.

"Get off brat! I can't get up with you sitting there!" Leo scrambled off and grabbed my other arm on the way down, the two of them dragging me in to a sitting position.

"Come on!" They said in unison while giving one last tug, almost making me fall from the bed.

"Alright, alright! Lemme get dressed would ja?" Leo and Suo grinned and let go, running out of the room. Yuki sat up and glared at the door, his eyes still fogged over from sleep. "Go back to sleep, it's fine." His eyes focused on me for a moment before he rolled over and went back to sleep. I rolled my eyes and slowly got out of bed, getting dressed quietly and making my way out of the room, following the sound of high pitched voices to the kitchen where Hatori was enjoying a cup of coffee, leaning against the counter as Leo and Suo chatted animatedly to Ayame and Shigure. The dragon looked over at me as I entered, his eyes unreadable.

"Sorry for the rude awakening." I snorted, getting a glass of milk.

"Liar."

"Fair enough." He took a few more sips of his coffee before speaking again. "So how are you feeling?" I rolled my eyes as I pulled out some leftovers from the fridge, starting to eat it cold, not quite having the energy just yet to bother heating it up.

"Fine."

"Anything I need to know about?"

"No."

"No sudden mood swings? Odd behavior?" I started glaring at him.

"No." The tone in my voice had Shigure looking over as Hatori went to ask another question. An idea went through my head that was absolutely horrible and I completely blamed the present company for its origin.

"Actually, are you feeling alright Hatori-san? I know you've been curious about the long term side effects, but you aren't worrying over something more serious, are you?" I smirked as Ayame and Shigure both rushed over to Hatori, the dragon's coffee being taken away as he was asked a million returning glare could have killed a lesser being as Hatori attempted to get rid of the ideas that had formed in their heads. I put the now empty Tupperware container and glass on the counter and walked over to Leo and Suo who both looked confused.

"Hey, you guys wanna play something?" They both grinned and took off just as Yuki came into the kitchen. For all events and purposes he looked completely dead to the world as he ignored everyone and went about getting his own breakfast.

"Morning..." I shook my head and went to follow the twins, leaving Hatori to his own devices and Yuki in his own little world.

xXx

As the days got warmer, Hatori couldn't help but become more and more wound up. "Haa-san! Honestly, what's been bothering you?" I sighed and rubbed my head, looking down at the papers scattering my desk, a sad, far cry from the organized form it usually could be found in.

"The graduation." Ayame came over and gave me a hug from behind.

"I know Haa-san, but it's a happy time. Try to enjoy it. Kyo and Yuki are both happy." I almost smiled at the thought of the two teenagers. Kyo's mood swings had gotten worse if one wanted to say it lightly, but Yuki wouldn't hear a bad word about him.

"There you are! I got Kyo and Yuki to watch the twins for the day, so the house should finally be quiet for more than two minutes." Aya started laughing and walked over to the doorway to start talking to Shigure. They both looked happy, just like Aya had said, so I supposed it wouldn't kill me to relax the ever so slightest bit.

I sighed as Aya rubbed my back. "Haa-san, better?" I nodded and took Shigure's hand, accepting the help up. "Are you sure you're alright Haa-san?" I smiled at Ayame as I resisted the urge to strangle him for asking me that so much over the past few weeks.

"Fine. A stubborn stomach bug isn't going to keep me from going to the graduation. It's nothing, really."

"If you say so..."

"Come on! We're gunna miss it!" I smiled and went ahead of Shigure and Ayame, walking down the stairs and picking up Suo who had run over.

"Let's go see Yuki and Kyo."

I decided to keep it nice for this one, and have the next chapter written out. Please tell me what you think, getting a review would totally and completely make my day.
