"I love you, Ritsuka." That haunting voice would always repeat to me. Though it wasn't until recently that I actually started to believe those sinful words.

"Soubi," I muttered and gripped the bed sheets tightly and gazed at the brightly lit moon.

Why can't I sleep anymore? These sleepless nights can't be because of him, can they?

It's been 6 years since I first met Soubi. I am now a senior in high school and the only one who still has his ears and tail. Everyone makes fun of me because of it but I really don't care.

I'm glad Yuiko has gotten over me and is together now with Yayoi. That leaves me with one less pest to deal with.

Finally, after a few hours of tossing and turning I fell asleep.

"Ritsuka, its time to wake up." Soubi's monotone voice echoed through my ears.

I grumbled and turned away from him. It was that moment that I realized Soubi was in my room, in my bed, with ME!

"WHAT THE HELL SOUBI!" I shouted falling out of my bed.

Soubi chuckled and looked at my naked form. DAMN IT! I had to be lazy and not get dressed after last night's shower.

I scrambled out of my room and into my bathroom.

"Ritsuka, did I startle you?" the blonde asked in his sinful voice.

"Yes." I stated simply.

"Gomenasai." His short apologies always somewhat annoyed me.

"Right..." I said sarcastically.

I turned the water on and began to shower. The warm water ran over my body, relaxing my tensed muscles. I felt relaxed and just stood there in the water for just a moment.

"Ritsuka, hurry up, you still have school today!" Soubi's voice called.

I grumbled a little, finished my shower and got dressed.

Soubi stood at the edge of my room as I scrambled to get ready for another long, unfulfilling day of school. And to make matters worse: I have Soubi as my art teacher.
The blonde walked over to me after I was ready and pressed his lips to mine. I couldn't help but kiss him back.

"Ritsuka, I love you," he said, tilting my chin up with one finger.

"Soubi..." I breathed and gazed into his grayish-blue eyes. He smiled lovingly at me.

"Do you really love me?" I asked.

He wrapped his arms around me, buried his nose in my hair and breathed in my scent.

"Yes, yes I do." he said, kissing the top of my head

"Soubi, I-I love you too." I said wrapping my arms around him.

He smiled and pressed his lips to mine again.

"Ritsuka, I love you."
