Kyoya's Secret Kitten

Chapter 15

I quickly made my way to our spacious home theater to see Yuki talking to Honey-Senpai and Mori-Senpai. As I approached, Yuki nooticed and smiled.

"What on earth could you be discussing?" I asked half jokingly, wrapping my arm around Yuki's shoulders. Her skin felt cool to the touch, so I quickly snatched a blanket from one of the nearby chairs and draped it across her shoulders.

"I was asking Honey-Senpai and Mori-Senpai if they would be willing to teach me martial arts and help me improve my self-defence skills." Yuki informed me, a wide smile spread across her face. I gave her a sideways look and raised an eyebrow.

"Oh? And why would a fine lady such as yourself need such brutish abilities?" I teased.

"You act as if I've never been in a fight before." She countered devilishly. "I can be a real handful if I need to." I chuckled and kissed the top of her head.

"When was the last time you practiced?" Honey-Senpai questioned. Yuki thought for a moment.

"I've been practicing my self-defence ever since I learned when I was 8." She answered. "I practiced three days a week for two hours a day up until about a month ago, when I left." I could see that Honey-Senpai and Mori-Senpai were somewhat impressed.

"Good job." Mori-Senpai complimented. Honey-Senpai nodded furiously in agreement.

"Yeah, most people don't keep practicing their self defence after they learn. Good job Yu-chan." Honey-Senpai praised earnestly. Yuki's cheeks blushed slightly in response. "Have you learned any martial arts before?" Yuki quickly shook her head.

"Not martial arts, but I did learn a bit of boxing from one of the men back at the syndacate. It was just some basic stuff like stance and technique." I had been impressed before but now even Honey-Senpai and Mori-Senpai were visibly impressed.

"That's an odd thing for you to learn," I wondered aloud. Boxing wasn't as common or popular in Japan as it was in the States. It didn't make sense for her to learn that instead of martial arts. "Any perticular reason behind it?" As the question was asked, Yuki's smile faded and she turned away.

"Nothing I would like to discuss." She stated absolutely. I was surprised and quickly dropped the subject while Honey-Senpai and Mori-Senpai exchanged looks.

"Well, we could start tomorrow," Honey-Senpai offered. "The dojo at my house will be empty, and if we do it after the club then Kyo-chan can come watch." Yuki gave a weak smile and nodded.

"That would be perfect. I'm looking forward to it." Her voice had become much quieter and I could tell something was wrong. I pulled her away from the others. She seemed so sad, and yet there was something else in her eyes.

"What's wrong?" I asked worriedly. "You don't seem like yourself." She looked away from my gaze and I could see that she was contemplating something. After a few moments of silence I spoke again. "Is this a private conversation or an 'I'm not ready to talk yet' conversation?" Yuki let out a deep sigh.

"I don't know yet Kyoya." She admitted, sounding a little defeated. "It's something we need to talk about but I don't know if I'm ready to yet." I nodded and wrapped her in a hug.

"Whenever you want to talk Kitten, I'm listening." I whispered gently. She gave me a squeeze before letting go and looking up.

"I know Kyoya. I promise, you'll be the first one I tell." She tried to go back to the others, but I stopped her. I could see the confusion in her eyes.

"We need to talk, later, after everyone has gone." I quickly whispered. She quickly nodded, and gave me a peck on the cheek before returning to where the others had gathered to discuss the movie. I watched them all for a moment before joining the conversation. Before long we had decided on the movie  and everyone settled in. After what seemed like both an eternity and an instant, the movie was over and it was time for the others to head home. Yuki, Fuyumi, and I escorted our guests to the door and said farewell. After the door closed Fuyumi let out a long sigh.

"Well, that was an eventful evening." She stated rather obviously. "They sure know how to wear you out." I nodded in total agreement and Yuki looked at us both as if we were old.

"Well I thought it was fun having everone together." She countered with a smile. "Even though Kyoya here almost punched poor Tamaki." She gave me a wink and giggled. All I could do was roll my eyes.

"If I had done so he would have deserved it. Tamaki can be a real pain." I retorted. At that, Fuyumi laughed. "What's so funny?" I asked.

"You've been saying that ever since you met him." Fuyumi explained. "He can't be that big of a pain or else you wouldn't still be friends with him." I contemplated her point for a moment, and nodded before I turned to Yuki.

"Your room or mine?" I stated bluntly. Yuki thought for a moment before she answered.

"I think mine would work better." I nodded and we began to climb the stairs when Fuyumi stopped us.

"Just what do you think you're doing!?" She screached from across the foyer. We both gave her a puzzled look.

"What on earth is the matter?" I asked, mildly offended at the tone she was taking.

"You know exactly what is the matter." Fuyumi replied, hastily running to us and snatching Yuki to her side. "You can't just decide it like that. Besides, I'm still staying here. Please wait until I leave, I don't want to even have the possibility of hearing it." We all stood silently for a while before I burst out laughing. Both Yuki and Fuyumi looked puzzled.

"Fuyumi," I gasped betweed fits of laughter. "Yuki and I need to have a conversation. Not... That." Yuki thought for a minute before her face went red all the way to the tips of her ears.

"Oh no!" She shouted, pulling away from Fuyumi. "We just have some things to discuss! I swear, that wasn't even a thought! Honest!" Fuyumi looked at us suspiciously.

"No funny business? Do you promise?" We both nodded and that seemed to persuade Fuyumi. "Well, just in case, I'm going to sleep as far away from your rooms as possible. Goodnight" With that she turned and dissappeard toward the other end of the house, leaving us alone. I chuckled as Yuki turned to face me.

"Why doesn't she believe us?" Yuki asked almost dejectedly.

"Maybe it's because she knows me." I retorted teasingly, giving her a sly wink. Yuki's blush, which had begun to fade, instantly returned in full force at my comment. "Come on," I prodded, grabbing her hand and leading her up the stairs. "We have things to discuss." As we ascended the stairs I could only think of what a difficult conversation this would be.
