Wow, this is my first time working on fan fiction, I really hope it turns out as good as I hoped it would. I have a really good story in mind but I'm completely sure of how I want to put it out. Ahh well, hopefully it turns out fine.

It's not exactly rated M just yet.. give me some time xD. It's hard for a thirteen year old to think of things

Disclaimer: No one owns Ritsuka, but I do own miss Urima Katsuka and Sayuki Chioshi ;P –pwnage- and whatever other characters I create xD.

1. The new beginning

"Ja!" The petite boys hand lifted lightly, waving in the direction of his house as he trotted away from it, signaling to his mother Aoyagi Mitsuki he was on his way.

Sunlight shot directly over the raven-haired cat boy, allowing a wonderfully colored aura of light to envelope him in it. Today, of all days was young Ritsuka's first day of high school, longing, and waiting for this magnificent day. It was even more imaginable since he'd been accepted at one of the highest talented schools. Hiragana High. It was one of the most expensive, although honorable schools around.

Unfortunately for the young boys sake, his best of friends young Yuiko and Yayoi weren't going to be attending this highly important school. Although, great fully they were not about a mile walk away, so nor did it bother him the slightest bit.

Happily, he walked friskily, longing to see one persons face in particular. Agatsuma Soubi. Just recently, the young child had finally realized that the older man was probably the most important thing to him, and he longed to his see the man's famine face as much as possible. Ritsuka longed for him, wanting to be near him, but the fact that his high school would always get in the way crushed him deeply.

Curiously, the boys orchid hues glanced towards his cellular phone he now had held infront of him, waiting for the familiar ring tone that was customized to be Soubi's, so all the time it could easily be identified. Ritsuka sighed warily; flipping it closed and tucked it into his pant pocket, walking lazily up to the front of the school building, swallowing nervously as he stepped onto campus.

Many people swarmed the area; even some of them were earless. Weird. Carefully he went further unnoticed. He was seemingly blending in perfectly until a shot of crimson locks fluttered infront of his eyes, fallowed by continuous giggling.

"Oi, Aoyagi-san, I love your hair color! Is it natural?" The female giggled, a group of females scattered behind her join in with laughter.

'Another Yuiko-chan? Great.' He grumbled lowly to himself walking away from the girl whose face was rather bright with curiosity.

"Eh!? Ritsuka-kun, come back please!" She squeaked, extending a curious hand as she looked to her friends for some backup, getting only a shake of the head and they took off In the opposite direction, making her pout sadly.

He shook his head annoyingly, ignoring the girls aggravating voice as he continued to where he wouldn't be noticed, pulling his cell phone out one last time to gaze at it. His eyes narrowed frustratingly, he wanted to say something to Soubi, just hear his voice before he heard the toll of the school bell, but it was useless.

'Maybe… I should just let him know what time school ends..?' He asked himself softly, flipping the cell open and went to his email box, and clicked on compose, already beginning a really short email to his sentouki.

Soubi, my school ends at 3:00 sharp, please be here.

Ri-chan

Ritsuka sighed softly, waiting for the message to send directly to Soubi's phone, waited until it was completely sent, and flipped it close. Looking up to see the crimson haired female standing directly infront of him again. Giving up, he put the light blue cell phone away, fixing his attention on the female.

"Now what?"

"Ritsuka-kun.. I'm sorry; I just wanted to get to know you.. Everyone knows you.." She bounced slightly, although he tone was low and shy, her raspberry hues stayed fixated on the concreted stairwell in which Ritsuka himself was perched on.

"Did you really want to get to know me? Or was it your friends there who asked you to talk to me?" He scowled lowly, keeping his gaze low and looked towards her group of friends who were chattering amongst themselves far off in the distance, looking at the two of them.

The girl nervously began to fidget with the hem of her light blue sweater, looking towards her friends and back towards the raven-haired male. She looked like she was about to cry but then she gave him a bright smile, shaking her head.

"Not at all Ritsuka-kun, I myself wanted to get to know you. All of us just know you from the headmaster, he says you'll probably be one of the best students here." She explained, nodding at the same time as her beautifully colored locks fell over her shoulders. "I'm Katsuka Urima by the way and I'm in 12th grade. I really think you'll like it here Aoyagi-kun." The girl greeted, turning around and waved slightly, running back to her group of friends.

"So she's older then me?" He questioned, grinding his feet into the cement and sighed slightly. She was quite pretty for a sophomore; her beautifully colored raspberry eyes and the lovely oriented color of her crimson hair. It blended amazingly with her cutely fuzzy ears and tail she still had planted on her head and tailbone.

The boy mumbled something under his breath, something along the lines of. 'Thank goodness I haven't given into Soubi yet.. I love my ears..' and tugged on them at the same time mumble it. Ritsuka's eyes levitated from the ground, looking around at all the eared people, jumping slightly as his pocket began to vibrate.

'He responded!' He chimed to himself, taking out the cell and flipped it open, sighing slightly when he noticed it wasn't who he hoped it was. Disappointedly, his ears flattened themselves against his head when he noticed that it was only Yuiko wishing him a wonderful day and she'd see him after school if he wanted.

Hey Yu-chan, I won't be able to walk home with you.. I'm expecting to have Soubi come after school. I'll let you know if there's a change of plans, all right?

Ri-kun

Ritsuka immediately flipped his cell closed, turning it off and, tucking it into his pocket and got up from the wall, looking back to where the girl named Katsuka had run off. It disappointed him that Soubi was busy enough to not respond to his email, neither the less he didn't email Ritsuka to begin with.

Then the bell annoyingly rang, as students spilled threw the front doors and into the hallways. Ritsuka wasn't sure if he'd like this school without people he liked, or knew. It took him a while to adapt to his other school, and would he survive at this one? It didn't matter all too much, he just wanted to graduate for his mother and father and get a good job so he could support a family of his own. At least, that's what the young boy hoped for.

People around walked through the hallways quickly, meeting their lockers, putting things inside and also keeping things in their arms. This locker thing was all new to him and he was confused on what subjects he needed. Then to his safety a young girl walked up to him, holding out a small piece of paper that looked like a roomnumber. Giving him a weak, although friendly smile.

"You must be Aoyagi Ritsuka. I'm Sayuki Chioshi, I'm also in your homeroom." She greeted him, a small shy frail smile creasing through her lips.

Chioshi had light blue hair that ended just underneath her human ears and bright green eyes. She was quite cute for someone his age, she even over-powered Yuiko's appearance.

"Arigato.." He responded, taking the small piece of paper from her and followed her into a room, sitting down in a random seat and she too sat in one not too far off from him. He couldn't help but smile at her; she was too cute for words. Ritsuka sighed softly, lowering his head as beautiful raven-haired locks fell over his eyes, blocking the orchid hues to allow a small hint of purple to shine through.

Everyone in his class seemed to be normal. Shades of different colored ears and hair spewed across the small classroom, tall and short figures of females and males. Some of them were very handsome or pretty where some of them were of average appearance. Like him, some of them had the appearance where they wanted to be left alone, and would immediately fit into the 'cool' category.

A lot of the students were examining the timetables they had received a couple days ago, but he had an important encounter with an annoying spell battle occurrence that made him miss getting it. Shyly, his hand rose, all eyes on him.

"Sensei.. I still need a timetable.." He mumbled deeply, lowering his hand as his teacher caught it walking over to him as she fished through some papers and pulled out a sheet of paper that read 'Aoyagi Ritsuka' In neat well printed Romanji lettering.

"There you are Aoyagi-kun.." She chimed, walking away as she stood infront of the blackboard, scratching her name onto it and turned around pointing to it with her index finger. "Watashi no namae wa sen Kaname Sensei desu" She spoke in her clearest Japanese wording, giving the class a bright smile.

Obviously her cheerfulness didn't catch the class's attention where some of them played no attention as well, doodling in notepads or chatting with people that sat around them. It seemed everyone knew each other for the unfortunate young Aoyagi Ritsuka and the young Sayuki Chioshi.

'She seems a lot like Miss Shinonome… wonderful..' He groaned miserably, putting her face into his arms, which were momentarily crossed across his desk, fiddling with the corner of it with his fingers.

"Class, pay attention!" her voice was risen and all were silent. This woman sure had a loud voice for how small she was, and she seemed to deal with kids a lot. All was assumed she had children since her ears had gone, leaving her with an earless head.

Ritsuka's head lifted immediately, sitting up straight and kept his shoulders high. He wasn't purposely trying to make a good impression; besides, half of the school knew his name, right? So what did it matter? They all knew his reputation and what he's capable of. Slowly, very slowly, he was changing into the real 'Ritsuka' the one his mother longed for.

Even so, the boy paid no attention to what was happening around him, gazing off into his own little world as the teacher rambled on how about how much fun the school year was going to be. He didn't think it was going to be wonderful, right now; he was more worried about his entire future, everything that would happen during his companionship with his Sentouki and when would everything be completely and utterly under control?


"Aren't you going to reply to that email Sou-chan?" The blonde haired male squealed delightfully, adding some finishing touches to his still life of the creamy longhaired male that sat directly infront of him.

"Sometime later.. I want Ritsuka to go along with his day first.." He responded warily, arching his back slightly as Kio ordered him. The pose he was sitting in was very seductive, although it was for an art assignment so he wasn't going to pass it up.

Soubi himself, already had finished his, it was a picture of Ritsuka he painted by memory and my god was it really lovely. It was a complete mural of the cat-eared boy, just a magnificent piece of work. He sighed softly, his light blue eyes shifting in the direction of the silver cell phone that sat beside him. He wasn't going to respond to the email, but he was going to show up at the proper time Ritsuka wanted him there.

"You're so naïve, making a young boy wait for such a time. If you did that to me my foot would be up you're a-"

"Now now Kio, don't be rash…" He smirked, butting into the males sentence as Kio motioned for Soubi to do whatever he wanted, since he was finished.

"You really are competitive, what are you trying to do to the poor kid before he breaks down?" Kio asked him mischievously, turning the painting around to show Soubi his work of art, grinning cutely.

"I'm trying to make him realize how much he wants me there with him Kio, besides, he's not a kid anymore. He's turning fifteen…" Soubi grinned; buttoning up his long sleeved shirt he was wearing to add some sort of affect to the painting. "Nice work.." He complimented Kio, taking the elastic from around his wrist and tied it around his lemony locks.

"Fifteen? Has it really been that long?" Kio asked him curiously, standing up from his chair and walked over to a window, laying the painting against it so the breeze and the sunlight could dry it quicker.

Soubi nodded, walking over to another window that was inside the dorm room, letting out a soft sigh as his face become sodden. He was dying to see his beloved, but he had to wait, just until four o'clock at the least. The breeze that came through the open window he himself was standing at carried his hand under a drift, allowing it to meet his

Cheekbones and graze along the butterfly earrings in his ear on either side.

"Yes, It really has been that long… it's amazing how much time can fly when you're having the time of your life.." He responded quietly, looking over to Kio with a light soft smile. "Hey, do you want to go for a walk? Get some fresh air?"

"Oh, do I." Kio chimed, standing back up from the chair he was sitting on and linked arms with his 'wife' as he puts it, walking out of the dorm room pushing the door open and disappeared through it. Immediately, a small blue lolli-pop was put into his mouth, sucking adoringly on it. Kindly, her offered Soubi one, as he resonantly took it from Kio.

"Arigato." He grinned, unraveling the plastic from the sucker and popped it into his mouth, the white stick poking from in-between his lips.

The two of them walked out of the large building, entering the streets of the extremely bright day. Sunlight cascaded over the two men as they paced the sidewalks, looking around at everyone that passed them. To some people, they would seem like a gay couple, having their arms linked like that, but in other words it was Kio's fault for doing so, he was the one who grabbed Soubi's arm.

"What exactly did you need a walk for anyway Sou-chan?" Kio asked him curiously, giving him a cute adoring look.

"I wanted to go for a walk. Besides, I'm picking Ritsuka up after school. I thought you might want to meet him in person." Soubi grinned, glancing down to the blonde male that walked beside him, into his dark charcoal eyes.

Kio pouted softly. He assumed Soubi did this because he wanted some time alone with him. Surely he shouldn't have thought of the such. Instead he nodded warily, tightening his grip on Soubi's arm.

"Is that so? Well, I wouldn't mind meeting the little trouble maker anyways." He grinned, almost done the lolli-pop that was in his mouth.

Soubi snarled, getting Kio off of him. Obviously what he'd called Ritsuka annoyed him greatly. His bright blue eyes were flaring with aggravation, crunching down on the lolli-pop he spat it out, walking off leaving the male standing there, bewildered.

"Hey, hey, heyy!!!" Kio shouted, running after Soubi as the light blonde hair male took off down the street, disappearing down some random alleyway. "Aww, Damnit, I did it again.." He moaned, burying his face into his hand and sighed, turning back around and headed towards the collage he was at, planting his hands into his pockets.

Soubi grinded his teeth annoyingly as he clenched his eyes closed. It burned him inside seeing someone call his sacrifice such a horrible name, wanting to go into a rage of anger. It took him some time to calm down, placing a cool hand on his forehead, wiping some sweat away from it and stepped out of the alley, onto the sidewalk and deciding to head in the direction of Ritsuka's school. It'd take some time to walk there, but it was definitely worth it.


Ritsuka sighed warily, pulling out his cell phone as he walked to the cafeteria where students spilled non-stop into it. He felt uncomfortable, not knowing anyone there so he randomly sat down at a table, staring emotionlessly at his light blue cell.

"Need someone to sit with?" A familiar voice rang behind his back, moving to the other side of the table and sat down. It was Chioshi, the girl that was in his class.

He nodded towards the girl, removing his eyes from the phone and placed it down, giving her a light smile in response. Ritsuka sat up properly, he didn't want to eat anything today, everything was running through his mind and he couldn't think completely straight at the moment.

"You really do… seem popular Aoyagi-kun.." Chioshi whispered, she too didn't have any food with her, she was just completely empty handed except for a notepad she had in her hands.

Ritsuka rolled his eyes, although looked around. People were obviously staring at him. Was it because he was sitting with Chioshi? Or was it just because of him? Not the point, he just didn't like a lot of attention and it was all starting to annoy him greatly.

"It's something I should be grateful for, is it?" Ritsuka retorted, getting fidgety by her company, not really giving her any eye contact. Even so, it was quite hard for him not to. Her appearance was splendid. Her hair color was lovely, along with the amazing color of her bright emerald eyes. "Not if you don't want to take it as a good thing." She giggled softly, resting her chin onto her hands, which made a bridge with her fingers. Her eyes gazed adoringly into Ritsuka's beginning to make him feel rather uncomfortable. "Everyone knows who you are, especially about what happen seven years ago… about your older brother… and the fire.." Chioshi was beginning to whisper, looking away from the male.

"It's not exactly a secret anymore, is It.." He responded back frailly, keeping his eyes locked on the girl, trying to take in every detail about her. Ritsuka was beginning to become hungry, although he wouldn't bother eating; the things on his mind were bothering him greatly.

The female shook her head, taking it off her hands and sat back into her chair, tall and shoulders forward. She looked really professional to be in a school like this, her grades must've been really high like his. Chioshi blinked a few times before she began to spoke, a queer smile across her face.

"Aoyagi-kun, where do you live?" The girl asked him quietly, her face turning a tinge of red as well as her ears lowering themselves completely, flattening and blending themselves within her sapphire locks.

He looked at her curiously, raising a suspicious eyebrow towards her and then sighed softly. Ritsuka was hesitant on telling her where he lived. Why did she want to know? And what did she care?

"Just down the street from here, only a few blocks away… unit number 136.." He told her softly, running his fingers through his raven locks, keeping his orchid hues fixed onto the table.

"Are you serious!?" She said cheerfully, standing up and leaning across the table. "I live in unit number 137! I just moved there a few weeks ago!" Chioshi chimed, her tail wagging with complete happiness as her ears perked up. "Do you mind if I walk home with you Aoyagi-kun?" She asked hopefully, putting her hands together.

'I'm hoping to walk home with Soubi… but I guess it's alright to meet up with her… but I was going to see Yuiko-chan as well.. I don't know what to do…'

"So?" Chioshi pried, her hands still clenched together but her hope had died down slightly.

"Alright, but I'm also going to be meeting a friend as well, is that alright?" He asked her with a light smile, nodding in agreement to walking home with the beautiful girl.

"That's completely fine Aoyagi-kun! Oh, I'm so happy. I thought because you've come to a new school you wouldn't adapt to someone so quickly.." She blushed slightly. Thinking of the fact that it was she out of anyone he adapted quickly to. Then the bell abruptly rang.

"I'll meet you at your locker." He told her softly, rising from his seat at the table and began walking off, his ears low and his tail twitching curiously behind him. Ritsuka sighed softly, walking out of the cafeteria and headed towards his classroom.


"And, as you can see class…" The teacher rambled on with the lesson. It was nothing new to young Ritsuka, just teaching the same things over and over again over the years. "Aoyagi-kun, are you listening to me?" Kaname Sensei snapped, pointing her piece of chalk at the boy that clearly wasn't paying attention, repeatedly clicking on his mechanical pencil.

"Hai.. gomen.." Ritsuka responded, his orchid hues looking towards the earless teacher and sighed deeply, keeping his gaze on the chalkboard instead, still not even paying attention. His mind was scattered with different things. Remembering this morning Katsuka. She had weird waves coming from her, as if, she had something to do with all of these spell battles. And then Chioshi, my is she different.

Everyone in the classroom was all chattering not really allowing the teacher to speak at all. Some of them were rude enough to even tell her to shut up. Ritsuka's head re-positioned itself to gaze out of the classroom window. Algebra wasn't exactly his favorite subject, but he easily passed the subject without ease.

Not too soon was his attention moved towards a slender girl that stood infront of him, a bright original smile spread across her adorable face. It was nether the less then Sayuki-san. Her friendly bright green eyes gazed down at him, as she took a seat beside him.

"I don't know if you were paying attention, but Kaname-sensei just told us to find partners for English. Do you mind?" She asked him hopefully, biting down lightly on her lower lip hoping his answer was an immediate yes.

"Alright." Ritsuka smiled back resonantly, pulling out his language binder and opened it up infront of him. There were a bunch of unorganized pieces of papers scatter through his dividers. It was amazing that he could find everything so easily. "Do you know exactly what we're doing?"

Chioshi giggled slightly as her ears rose slightly with fascination. He definitely wasn't paying any attention to the teacher, but she couldn't blame him. Their teacher wasn't exactly the most entertaining person alive.

She shook her head. "Not really, Kaname-sensei just told us to find a partner and I went straight to you." Chioshi told him in a soft whisper now, since the classes chatter seem to have died down.

The orchid-haired boy's face reddened slightly when she told him that. Was he really going to make another 'girlfriend'? It made him queasy at the thought, especially since he realized girls didn't attract him in a girlfriend kind of way. Then again, Soubi wasn't very manly to start off with.

Everyone in the classroom began to shuffle once again as the teacher began to speak, trying to drown her voice down with shuffling and chatter. Her eyes rolled as she took something heavy and slammed it against the ground. A little bit temperamental are we?

"Thank you…" She huffed annoyingly, picking up the book she had used to make the rather loud noise. Everyone was completely quiet when she did that, giving her some access to speak even for a slight moment of time. "Now, since today is the first day of school. I want you to find things about your partner. It's something similar to an essay or an interview. I want you to write at least one page about them and hand it in tomorrow during English class." Kaname-sensei ordered and placed the book onto her desk as she took her seat.

'Least I don't have to draw anyone..' Ritsuka was relieved on that fact. He remembered in sixth grade when he had to draw Yuiko and she turned out to look like a deformed blob with eyes and a mouth.

Chioshi's gaze returned to Ritsuka, pulling out a notepad and put it onto her lap, a small smile creasing through her lips as she pulled out a pen. She was going to write everything in English since it was easier and she wasn't exactly pure Japanese. Chioshi didn't speak it fluently, so this was one reason why she went to this school.

It was a good thing that Ritsuka was bi-lingual or he would need an interpreter to read her writing. When she asked him, he began answering. Telling her that he's been through most of his school years with amazing grades, although he informed her about subjects he really didn't enjoy. Ritsuka also told her about different things he enjoys to do; like reading, playing video games, sometimes researching.

All of this seemed to amaze her because every time she received an answer her eyes lit up with fascination as she began to reluctantly write it down. Chioshi was pretty cute for a ninth grader; at least she wasn't annoying and redundant like Yuiko.

When it came his turn to write down about Chioshi, he never figured a girl like her existed. She enjoyed singing, because she always thought it could entirely express her feelings. The female also loved to write poems and stories, also another way to express her longing expressions, as well as drawing and painting.

The male's eyes lit up with the class finished and it was practically the end of the day. His bright purple hues were filled with adoring fascination towards this girl, finding out something so interesting. Just by what he learned now he figured he knew everything about her life. It was entirely amazing.

Then the bell rang, as everyone ascended from their seats and walked out of the classroom with their books in arms, spilling out of the doorway. Ritsuka and Chioshi were the last out of the classroom, walking side by side as they moved their bodies towards their lockers. It seemed the hallways emptied rather quickly.

"People here must hate school." He mumbled, turning the dial on his locks and opened it, swinging his locker door open and placed his books inside with an agitated sigh.

"I don't think that's the reason Aoyagi-kun. I just think they're excited to get home." She replied softly, closing her door after she finished placing her books inside and slung her book bag over her small shoulder.

"Hey.. Chioshi.."

"Hai, Aoyagi-kun?"

"If you want you can just call me Ritsuka. Being formal annoys me." He told her bluntly, closing his locker door as well and slung his pack over his shoulder, giving her a frail look.

"If you'd rather that, then it'll be my pleasure Ritsuka." Chioshi responded softly, already beginning to make her way down the hallway of the school, and towards the door. Her eyes were now focused on the ground as she studied it quizzically.

Curiously Ritsuka followed her down the empty hall, catching up to her immediately as her gave her one of those 'what's wrong?' kind of looks. The boy sighed slightly as he turned his head away from her, although his eyes stayed still, eying her down.

Immediately her gaze caught his, a small smile creasing through her lips. "What is it Ritsuka..?" She asked him softly, pushing the front door open as she walked down the steps, the blinding sun enlightening her bright blue hair, a goddess in the sunlight.

"It's nothing." Ritsuka said weakly, stepping down the stairs as slow as he could before he reached flat ground, and walked through the gates of the school. His eyes moved away from her when he looked around the school. Where was Soubi? He figured his school was further then it used to be, but if that was the case shouldn't he have left earlier.

"Waiting for your friend?" Chioshi said finally, breaking the dead silence. A small gust of wind came along, taking every piece of fur and hair their bodies for a small whirlwind ride. The girl chucked softly when the gust finally died down, patting down her sapphire locks, and tucked them behind her human ears.

"Yeah.. I don't know where he is though…" He said abruptly but then let out a small gasp of air when his airway was suddenly blocked. His stomach muscles retracted but then gave when he felt a warm breathe cross his neck.

"Is that he?" Chioshi asked with a bright curious smile as she watched the young boy being embraced from behind by an older, much taller male.

Ritsuka nodded as blush began to arise on his youthful face, trying to squirm out of the older males grasp and stand beside Chioshi, although nothing was working when he tried. Soubi's grip was much stronger then he ever thought. The boy sighed slightly as he gave up, closing his eyes as he waited.

"I missed you, Ritsuka.." Soubi breathed into his ear, letting go of him and let him stand beside the girl. A sad look was filling his eyes, like Ritsuka had moved on or something. "Whose this..?"

"Sayuki Chioshi." The girl said reluctantly, holding out a slender hand as the other one held loosely onto her shoulder bag, a bright toothy smile forming across her beautiful face.

"Pleasure to Soubi… meet you Sayuki-san… I'm Agatsuma Ritsuka's slave." He grinned, eying down the fourteen year old as Ritsuka's face turned immediately bright red, raising his hand as if he was about to swat him.

'I am so going to get you for this later…' Ritsuka growled to himself, keeping his head low so no one could read the expression on his face. His ears flattened slightly, finally deciding to raise his head. Chioshi and Soubi seemed to be carrying on a conversation.

"So your Ritsuka's classmate Chioshi?" He asked her questionably, a bright grin across his face. As if he was toying with this girl to see exactly what Ritsuka was going through.

She nodded reluctantly, a brighter smile grew on her face as her beautiful locks brushed across her cheekbones and fell infront of her eyes, giving her a very seductive look. "You've got that right." And she turned to Ritsuka. "Oh, Ritsuka, you have such a nice friend. Does he live near us?" She asked him, hoping the answer was yes but then frowned when Ritsuka's head shook slowly.

"No, he doesn't." He told her bluntly. 'And thank goodness he doesn't.' Thanked Ritsuka, giving a grim smile as he looked towards the blue-hued male, nodding of somewhat of approval. For once he actually was glad Soubi approved of one of his friends.

Soubi's sapphire hues relocated themselves to the raven-haired boy, a mischievous smile creeping through his lips as he walked towards him, slinging his arms around Ritsuka's small shoulders. "Shall we go now?" He insisted, already starting to push Ritsuka along, Chioshi on the other side.

Ritsuka sighed heavily, ignoring Soubi's contact. Normally he'd pull away, but he wasn't going to act stupid infront of Chioshi. Especially when he finally met someone he felt he could trust more then Soubi, or even Seimei. The males eyes advanced towards Chioshi whom was on the other side of the blonde male, pursing his lips slightly as he lowered his head as he lovely raven locks fell over his orchid hues.

"Something the matter Ritsuka?" Soubi asked him, a slight hint of concern overwhelming his voice, beginning to smoothly caress the boys shoulder, making Ritsuka shudder slightly with comfort.

Ritsuka rolled his eyes irritably, shaking his head. "It's nothing." He responded warily, keeping himself under complete control when they reached his house. Chioshi walked over to the gate that was actually right beside his. He gave a slight nod before she disappeared through the iron bars and through her front door.

He waited for a moment until he knew she wasn't going to come back out, his eyes looking back towards Soubi, a hint of irritation in them. Soubi couldn't help but smile at Ritsuka's coyness, moving towards him and pecked him lightly on the forehead, being immediately brushed off when Ritsuka placed an annoyed hand on Soubi's chest, pushing him away.

"You know you can tell me anything." The milky blonde haired male reminded him, slinging his arms loosely on Ritsuka's shoulders, placing his cool hands on the boy's neck, making the child shudder slightly.

"I finally met someone and you ruined everything." He said softly, ashamed that he'd admit to something so stupid. Ritsuka cared for Soubi dearly, and then sometimes he acted like a complete and utter imbecile. The boys eyes looked back towards Soubi, a small smile creasing through his lips before he whispered. "I missed you."

"I missed you too Ritsuka." Soubi whispered without hesitation, cupping the boy's chin as he descended his icy cool lips onto Ritsuka's hugging the ninth graders lips for a moment of time before he pulled away. He smirked slightly seeing the raven-haired boys facial expression. His sacrifices eyes were melted closed, his head still tilted back.

It seemed Ritsuka didn't exactly want it to stop; then again he also wasn't giving Soubi any signs that he didn't want it anymore. At the right time Soubi once again met the juniors lips, grabbing them much more deeply then the last time. Of course, it really got Ritsuka nervous this time, pulling away as his face turned an extreme shade of scarlet.

"You never said to stop." Soubi stated, pulling Ritsuka into a hug as he cradled his head on top of Ritsuka's, patting the spot of his head in between his two blackish ears, stroking the soft silky hair without ease.

"Baka.." Ritsuka muttered, closing his eyes as he stood there lifelessly for a moment. Then he pulled away once Soubi let go, watching him take off to his front door.

"Ai shiteru, Ritsuka." Soubi said seductively, watching him as he turned the doorknob, about to step into the house.

"See you tomorrow, Soubi." He responded with a light smile, disappearing through his door as he closed it behind him, being suddenly embraced by a worried mother.

"Sweetheart, where have you been..?" Masaki said a little worried, cradling her son's head between her frail, weak slender arms.

"I walked home with a new friend mom. Our neighbor. She's really nice." He responded, finally deciding to hug his mother back. It felt awkward to him to do this, ever since his mother finally accepted him, he felt so weird when she talked to him so nicely.

"Oh, that's great hun. I'm glad you've made a new friend. What would you like for dinner?" She asked him calmly, releasing him from her arms and grabbed him softly on his wrist, pulling him towards the kitchen and allowed him to sit down, giving him suggestions.

He thought for a moment, watching his mother's hopeful face for a moment as he returned a weak forced smile. Ritsuka took her options into thought; thinking of exactly he was into. Finally he came up with something, simple, but something he knew he'd enjoy it.


Clicking tapped from the keyboard as the male began to type away for his essay he had to write, which was due tomorrow. Before he did anything he informed his mother he'd be in his room for the rest of the night. Ritsuka was relieved that his mother took everything much easier then she used to, it get him a whole lot of slack.

His fingers quickly typed away, writing in explicit detail about Sayuki Chioshi. She was purely an amazing girl. One of a kind, then his eyes lit up weirdly when a flashing tab caught his attention at the bottom of his screen. 'Yuiko?' He thought curiously, clicking on it, and squinted his eyes to read it normally.

Sou-chan says:

Homework, huh?

"Soubi.." Ritsuka grumbled, but he didn't remember ever giving him his email. Instead of ignoring it, he responded, typing slowly to think of something exactly to say.

Loveless-kun says:

Yes, that's right. What does it matter to you?

He leaned back in his chair, it seemed Soubi was typing something long. Then again he always had something to say to him, important or not. Ritsuka sighed slightly, closing his eyes but his ears twitched when he heard the 'bleep' from the messenger.

Sou-chan says:

Ritsuka, I could sense something query about your school. I could sense battle partners around campus. I don't know if I'm correct, but I feel that the school isn't safe for you. Maybe you should look into it yourself. I found out that there was a new battle system unit that had aroused. I never found out the name, but I know their pair name. They go by 'Weightless' and I know they go to your school.

Ritsuka's eyes lit up curiously. He too had sensed something ominous around the school, and it came from that female he had met in the morning. 'Maybe she's one of them..?' He asked himself although he was unsure if he was right, he'd find out sooner or later.

Loveless-kun says:

If you want I can look into this for you. But do you think you could meet me outside my house in the morning? I want you to meet something. Her name is Urima Katsuka. I want you to check her out for me. She seemed to know me very well this morning and it seemed she had something to do with the battle systems. I don't know if I'm correct though, all I know is when she was around I had this weird tingling running through my skin.

The boy waited patiently for his answer. He couldn't help but feel curious; was he actually getting a hang of this Sacrifice and Fighter thing. It surprised him horribly that he actually could sense things himself. Maybe one day he'd actually manage to think of something. Ritsuka was the brains of the two of them, it was sure that he'd think of solutions.

Sou-chan says:

What about your new girlfriend? P.

Loveless-kun says:

She is not my girlfriend! She is someone I met in school. Besides, I like you more..

When Ritsuka had his enter, he wished he hadn't done that. A hint of blush ran through his cheeks as her turned away from the monitor, beginning to breath heavily. He was horrified of what Soubi would say next, but it'd be rude if he didn't respond.

Sou-chan says:

Arigato, Ritsuka. I think I am going to go now. I'll see you in the morning. Sleep well. I love you.

Chu

He sighed softly when he saw him sign offline, glad he had finished his essay he turned him computer off. Crawling over to his bed weakly and undressed himself. Ritsuka wore a pair of stripy flannel two-pieced pajamas; something you'd normally see a female in. But Ritsuka wasn't fooling anyone. The boy knew what he was, so it didn't bother him at all.

Slowly he crawled under the polar fleece sheets, pulling them up to his small chin and melted his eyes entirely shut. The coolness of Soubi's lips lingered forever, making him toss and turn with uncontrollable annoyingness. One last rolls succeeded until he was in dead silence, still and motionless.

Then within the silence, unconscious as he was, a small whisper proceeded through his tender famine lips. "I love you too…" Ritsuka whispered, breaking the silence until the only thing that could be heard was the whistling of the wind outside his window, brushing through the cracks of the sealed glass frame.


Spleee! Well, there was chapter one for you. I don't think I honestly did that well but I really think some reviews would help. Tell me where I could do a little better. And yes, they may be a little out of character but this does happen to be four years from then, people DO change. Well, I really do hope you enjoyed reading this. And sometime soon I will have chapter two prepared for you. I am also aware of grammar mistakes.. although I have a tendancy to do that.. and I'm also too lazy to fix it at the moment xD but hopefully my second chapter won't be as messy.
