Sometimes It Be That Way

Redemption and Revelations

Hatori had been called as soon as they had got back to Shigure's. The ryuu
had rushed over after Shigure had explained to him what they had found. Hatori
didn't have the proper means to fix the neko's achilles tendons so he had
driven himself, Haru and an unconscious Kyou to the hospital. He had injected
Kyou with some morphine which had immediately relaxed the neko's pained face.

After the surgery which Hatori had overseen, and making sure the neko was
comfortable in the post-op outpatient ward, the ryuu had gone to the waiting
room where Haru was sitting. Haru had fixed his eyes immediately on Hatori,
expecting conformation that the surgery went fine.

A rare smile was given to the black and white haired boy, "He's fine,
it will take a while for him to get back on his feet, but he'll be fine."
Hatori assured Haru who had sighed gratefully.

"Can I see him?" Haru asked with a hopeful expression.

Hatori ruffled the boy's hair affectionately, "You can do one better
and bring him home, ready to go?"

A huge smile broke out on Haru's face at that and he nodded, getting up and
following Hatori to retrieve his kitten.

On the return drive to Shigure's, Hatori had gone over the proper doses of
Percocet to administer. Hatori had prescribed two weeks worth and said he
would see how Kyou was doing by then and if he would need anymore depending
on how fast he healed. He had also supplied Haru with plenty of antibiotic
cream and gauze for changing the bandages that wrapped around Kyou's ankles.
Explaining that he had to keep the freshly stitched areas clean to avoid infection.

He had also cautioned the ushi against having sex with Kyou until at the
very least the stitches were removed. Haru had blushed faintly at this, scanning
his eyes out the car window, but he did agree to it after a few seconds of
silence.

Hatori looked into the rearview mirror at the ushi who had the neko in his
lap, stroking Kyou's hair affectionately. The ryuu reflected that the two
were perfect for each other, the ushi had done what they all thought impossible,
and the neko would not have to fear being locked away ever again. He decided
things had worked out for the best in the end.

***

When they had returned to Shigure's, Haru had immediately taken his slumbering
kitten to his room that had been already prepped by Tohru. She had also made
him dinner, which she delivered almost instantaneously after he had settled
in at the side of Kyou's futon. He had thanked her and ate while watching
his kitten's face, relaxed in drugged sleep with the covers pulled up under
his chin.

Shigure had joined him by Kyou's bedside a while after Haru had finished
eating, quietly telling Haru that he would be living there from now on, and
that he wasn't allowed to return to the main estate. Momiji and Kisa would
be over later with Haru's things he said, and Haru had asked him to have someone
pick up his Playstation 2 from his parents house. Shigure said that wouldn't
be a problem and taken the dishes back down to the kitchen when he left.

Haru couldn't help but smile since the new arrangement was better than he
could have imagined. He took one of Kyou's curled hands in his own, and pressed
a kiss to the back of the neko's hand.

Later as promised, Momiji, Kisa and Hiro had arrived with his things. They
had unloaded them in Kyou's room and Kisa had sat with Haru for a while just
watching Kyou sleep. When Hiro had come to tell her it was time to go back,
the hitsuji had told Haru that the ps2 was all set up downstairs. When Haru
thanked him, Hiro had just stuck up his nose with a faint blush and said,
"Whatever."

It was much later in the night, when Haru was slouched over, running his
fingertips over Kyou's faintly pink tinged cheeks that Yuki had let himself
in and sat down beside him. Haru noted that the nezumi appeared to be mulling
something over, so he waited for Yuki to say something.

Yuki put his hand on Haru's hunched over shoulder. "I love Kyou."
He admitted, looking Haru directly in the eyes.

"Well shit," Haru got it now, Yuki's actions finally made sense.
"can't say I'm sorry." He gave Yuki a weak smile. Even if the nezumi
did love the neko, Haru wasn't about to let anything or anyone come between
him and his kitten. Especially not now. The notion also flashed through his
mind that if the nezumi tried anything, no matter how much respect he had
for Yuki, he would kick his ass too. Or at least give it his damned best shot.

Yuki smiled at him, "Don't be. I could never have done that. You brought
him back to us." Haru realized Yuki had his own demons he needed to wrestle
with, and it appeared as if the nezumi was coming to terms with quite a few
of them only now. "And Haru, thank you."

He gave Yuki a slight nod and with that the nezumi left Haru alone with his
kitten, closing the door quietly behind him.

Haru wondered with slight amusement at what Kyou would say when he found
out. Laughing softly to himself, he decided that his kitten would never believe
him.

***

Kyou's thoughts were fuzzy and his eyes didn't want to open. He was also
very warm, and much too comfortable. Last thing he had known, he had been
dumped on the floor of the house meant to be his prison. There had been no
bed in the small structure apart from a rolled up and worn looking rug he
had remembered seeing in one of his more lucent moments. So why did he feel
so good now, and why wasn't his legs in pain? He momentarily wondered if he
had died until he felt the slight tug of stitches in his ankles.

Groggily, ruby eyes opened slowly to see the familiar surroundings of his
room. When
had he gotten back? More importantly, how had he gotten back? He sat
up letting the
covers fall around his waist as he gazed around, still
slightly dazed from sleeping and the drugs in his system. He winced as the
movement served to pull a bit at the stitches in his ankles, the drugs were
wearing off.

Reaching down, he drew back the blanket covering his legs and saw the gauze
circling his wounded ankles. One tanned hand strayed to the bandages as a
million questions entered his mind.

The door to his room opened and his eyes fixated on Haru who had stopped
in shock, teacup in one hand. Haru steadied the top of the cup with his other
hand when it started shaking as he gazed into Kyou's awe struck eyes. When
tears started cascading down the neko's cheeks and one hand reached out for
him, Haru hastily put the teacup down on the dresser and closed the distance
between him and his kitten. Haru pulled Kyou tightly into his arms, running
one hand up and down Kyou's back and the other cradling his orange topped
head against Haru's shoulder as he wept.

Haru rained kisses over Kyou's face as the neko cried. Kyou clasped his arms
around the ushi, mouthing 'I love you' repeatedly against Haru's neck like
a mantra.

When his own tears of elation finally started to fall, Haru knew that everything
would be alright.

***

After being cooped up in his room for a few days of recuperation, and even
though Haru doted on him bending to his every whim, Kyou had enough and demanded
the ushi at least bring him downstairs. Haru had done so, making him comfortable
on the couch. Kyou had then seen Haru's ps2 above the television set and was
given the controller without a word being said on his part.

The ps2 was thrilled to finally have its boyfriend back.

Kyou was happily leveling his favorite character with Haru sitting on the
floor in front of him, one arm thrown over the neko's legs when Ayame came
bursting through the door.

"Kyoukichi-chaaan~!!" He boomed, startling Kyou so much he dropped
the controller. "How are you feeling?? I brought you a present!!"
Ayame declared proudly thrusting a video game under Kyou's nose; his golden
eyes beaming in pleasure.

Kyou, still being under the influence of Percocet was in no frame of mind
to yell at Aya, or anyone else for the matter. He had been very reserved and
so unlike himself that the residents and random guests who kept dropping by
to see him during his recovery had treated him delicately. All of them except
for Hatori were awestruck at the change in his personality, much like Aya
was now.

Kyou blinked gazing at the cover of the game and slightly cocking his head
to one side. His favorite character from Disgaea was the main character of
this game! He felt strangely touched by Aya's gesture. "Thank you."
He smiled, not looking at Ayame but at the game, already itching to play it.

Ayame had stars in his eyes upon seeing Kyou's reaction, immediately attempting
to
cuddle the neko. A hand on his chest effectively held him back, but Haru's
narrowed
eyes had no effect on him, so the ushi gave a shove and sent the hebi toppling
backward.

Slithering back, Ayame had tried again resulting in being dragged into the
kitchen with tears streaming down his smiling face by Haru who tossed him
at Shigure. "Gureee~!!!" The hebi wailed clinging to the inu's midriff.

Shigure watched as Haru shook his head in annoyance and went back to the
living room. "Ah my sweet Aya!! Ha-kun's just a bit overprotective of
Kyou-kun now~ don't take it the wrong way!! I'll always love you!!" Shigure
said nuzzling Ayame.

Yuki gave the two a cross glare for their antics. "I'm surrounded by
idiots."

Tohru was just about to ask if he also was referring to her when the door
smashed open. Kagura's seething visage was viewed by the four people in the
kitchen who immediately began sweating. This couldn't be good.

Kagura removed her hand from the door that had crumpled like an accordion.
Her mouth
opened and, "Where is he?!? I'll kill the ::censored censored:: for stealing
my fiancé!!!"
She screamed.

Four pairs of eyes blinked then warily looked at the door to the living room
where the ::censored censored:: was. Kagura's furious eyes turned to where
they were looking, an evil smile stretched out her face.

She stomped over to the door and flung it open, said ::censored censored::
was waiting
for her on the other side, rope in hand. "What was that buta?!
What fiancé would that
be?!?!" Black Haru sneered at her, taking
a step through the door and letting it close behind him as he advanced on
her.

As soon as she realized that he had called her a pig, she shrieked and flying
kicked the ushi in the stomach, he crashed against the door and quickly recovered.
Stretching the length of rope taunt with a huge grin he snidely told her,
"Let's dance~"

Five minutes later, Kagura was howling in anger and embarrassment from where
she was left hog-tied in the middle of the kitchen, screaming obscenities
at the ushi who had simply ambled from the kitchen, gloved hands in his pockets
whistling to himself.

The kitchens other four occupants who had been witness to the boar-wrangling
were stunned, frozen in place from what they had been doing. Shigure was the
first to snap out of it, "Well, that was…different." He said
with a small chuckle.

"Does this mean…" Ayame's face broke out into a stupid grin,
"that Ha-kun really is a
cowboy?"

Yuki simply got up, walked over to his brother and smacked him across the
face, then went back to his seat at the table and resumed eating.

Kagura was escorted home a while later by Ayame after receiving a long talk
from Shigure. The tears in her eyes when he had quietly spoke to her let the
inu know that she
had finally resigned herself to moving on. He did feel sorry for her, but
she had provided
some rather amusing entertainment.

In the living room, Kyou was blithely playing his new game, completely unaware
of what had transpired as hopped up on painkillers as he was. Haru had taken
his seat again in front of Kyou, a slight smirk on his face.

It had been a good day.
