Disclaimer: I don't own Loveless. Yun Kouga does. Here's the next chapter:

Ritsuka awoke the next morning to find his cell phone beeping. He looked at it. It was a text message, which read:
We had a very pleasurable time last night, don't you agree? –Soubi

'What does he mean by that?' Ritsuka thought, sighing. Then he started to panic. His hands when lightning fast up to his head, and he pulled on his ears a bit. 'My ears are still here though.' Ritsuka's mind raced all the way to school. Contemplating what to do, Ritsuka finally pulled out his phone.

Soubi's phone started beeping. He had been in the middle of an art project, painting what he thought a shinigami looked like. He reached for his phone, which was sitting on the ground next to him:

Pervert! What do you mean by that? –Ritsuka

Soubi smiled, and laughed a little bit, typing a message back. As soon as Ritsuka had gotten done typing the message, he raised his hand.

"Yes, Aoyagi-kun?" Miss Shinonome, Ritsuka's teacher, acknowledged him.

"May I use the restroom?" He asked her.

"Hurry back." She smiled, as Ritsuka got up out of his desk and headed down the hallway. Ritsuka was expecting an immediate answer from Soubi, and he didn't want his phone going off during class. He got to the bathroom, and about five minutes after he got there, his phone started to beep.

You mean you don't remember? That's too bad, it felt really good, you would have liked it. –Soubi

'The idiot.' Ritsuka thought, then said to himself, "Is he really that stupid?"

"Who?" came a voice beside of him. Ritsuka nearly jumped onto the sink. He looked over and saw Yayoi standing beside of him.

"N-no one." Ritsuka answered.

"Well, Miss. Shinonome sent me to get you. You've been in here for nearly ten minutes. He took the phone from Ritsuka. He read it, and his eyes got big, "What is Soubi talking about?"

"N-nothing!" Ritsuka grabbed his phone back, and quickly typed:
Idiot! Do you really think I'll believe that? I still have my ears and tail. Don't text me again, I'm going back to class!

"Come on…"Ritsuka told his friend, heading out of the bathroom door and back to class, putting his phone in his pocket. He and Yayoi sat down at their desks. Ritsuka watched as Miss. Shinonome wrote the homework assignment on the board, then stared out the window. Everyone was fairly quiet. When Ritsuka's phone started to beep again. The whole class looked at him as well as the teacher.

"Who is it?" Yuiko whispered to him. Ritsuka was just about to read the message quickly before having to hand it over to Miss. Shinonome, but she took it before he could.

"I'm sorry, Aoyagi-kun, but I'll have to take this. It's school rules. But you can have it back t the end of the day, which luckily for you, is in an hour." She told him, slight hurt in her voice for having to take it. She glanced at the already flipped open phone.

Just because you still have your ears and tail, doesn't mean we couldn't have had a pleasurable time last night. –Soubi

Miss. Shinonome blushed madly, and looked up at Ritsuka. "Umm… yes. The umm… end of the hour, or umm I m-mean day, yes in an hour you can have it back." She stuttered, still blushing a deep red.

'Great…' Ritsuka thought, his ears bending down against his head, He could only imagine what the message could have said that mad Miss. Shinonome blush so badly. He had told Soubi plainly that he was going back to class, 'And what does the damn idiot do? He send another text message!' Ritsuka laid his head on the desk, as Yukio poked at him trying to get him to tell her who it was. He didn't really notice though, all he could think was, 'At least it's only an hour…' The last hour of school dragged on for what seemed like forever, and as soon as school was out, Ritsuka grabbed his phone off of the teacher's desk, "Miss. Shinonome, you should probably forget whatever nonsense Soubi wrote in that text message. None of it's true." He told her, reading the message for himself, as he sighed a heavy sigh. 'Idiot…' he thought. Yuiko and Yayoi followed him outside talking to him, asking him about the text message. Well, it was more Yuiko questioning him, as Yayoi stood by jealous, trying to explain to her that it was Soubi, but she was too busy asking Ritsuka to notice he was even saying anything. "That idiot…" he muttered under his breath for the third time.
"Who? Soub-" but Yuiko was cut off as soon as the reached the sidewalk, and saw the man. "Oh, hi Soubi!" she looked up at him. He smiled at her.

"I'll see you tomorrow…" Ritsuka told his friends quietly.
"Bye bye!" Yuiko yelled to the boy who was already down the sidewalk. Ritsuka and Soubi were oddly quiet for a minute, then when they were out of earshot of Yayoi and Yuiko, Ritsuka said,

"Ok, Soubi, explain. This is an order."

"What do you mean?" Soubi questioned.

"You know good and well what I mean!" Ritsuka blushed, "About all that text message nonsense!"

"Do you truly not remember last night?" Soubi smiled.

"I told you, I still have my ears and tail!" Ritsuka blushed a deeper read.

"You must have been asleep. I lay down beside of you, and held you for a while, then left before you work up. I thought you might've been awake when I laid down, but I was mistaken. It really felt good to hold you. I thought it was a very pleasurable time." Soubi explained. Ritsuka thought back to last night. The last thing he remembered was Soubi lying down beside of him, before he drifted off to sleep.

"Rnnn…" Ritsuka whined in an annoyed tone.

"Ritsuka…" Soubi began. Ritsuka looked up at him. "How about we go to the pet store?" he smiled.

"Fine…" Ritsuka sighed.
