Alrighty…I wanted to make a continuous fic…and so, it shall be! Here we go. One of the only fics I think I'll ever see that goes BEYOND Soubi and Ritsuka's first time. . Enjoy, loves!

The first thing the young neko was quite aware of was the sun, brightly glaring into his eyes. As he shifted to avoid it, he was then aware of the arm, draped upon his waist. It was when he turned and gave a startled squeak that he realized what had occurred on that bed only the night before.

His Sentouki was breathing restfully before him, blonde hair splayed about the sheets and his bandage unwrapping at the neck. Ritsuka tentatively tucked in the end, praying he would not wake the blonde next to him. A blush had overtaken the pale boy's face. He'd done it. With Soubi. The night before. Not that he regretted it, it wasn't that at all, but… what would everyone say to the fact that his ears and tail…… His eyes widened at yet another realization. Frightened, almost reluctant, Ritsuka slid a hand across the top of his head. It was smooth. No bumps. No tangles.

No ears.

He sild a hand around to where the base of his tail typically was. To no avail, though, for there was no twitching cat tail behind him.

They were simply…gone. He was going to be the talk of the school, the talk of the teachers…and God, his mother, what would she think? No…he mustn't let her get him down. He'd be fine…hopefully.

A rustling behind him broke him out of his thoughts. "It takes a little bit to get used to the thought, doesn't it?" he heard Soubi asking from behind. He didn't answer, though he didn't emotionally act out, either. The raven-haired boy simply sat, running different situations through his head of what his classmates, teachers, and mother would think. Soubi's arms were around his waist again. "You have a day, Ritsuka-kun. It's only Sunday, you have until tomorrow. Don't let it bother you." The blonde gently kissed the boy on the top of the head. "I won't let her hurt you."

"I know." Ritsuka whispered in reply, leaning into Soubi's embrace. "I'd rather be here."

Ritsuka's response startled Soubi for a moment. The young, reluctant sacrifice he'd remembered only days before had been reversed…and now he wanted to move in with him? Soubi could have taken him again right then and there. Using the most restraint he could muster, he tightened his grip around Ritsuka's waist. "I-I don't think…that would work." Soubi said simply. Ritsuka had no reply.

The Raven-haired boy's thoughts still ran through his friends. Yuiko would ask who, and when told, would be pleased with herself for some blonde reason, and ultimately happy for Ritsuka. Yayoi would probably be startled at first, though he would grow used to it after a while. He had Yuiko to himself, anyways, and that would keep him happy enough. As for the rest….they would just have to deal with it. Since they'd moved on to grade 8, ears and tails were disappearing like crazy. It wasn't all that hard to tell who'd lost them to who, though no one would be able to tell with Ritsuka.

"Do you want to go see someone? Yuiko? Yayoi? Perhaps even Natsuo and Youji?" Ritsuka nodded slowly…better to get it off his chest than to wait for however long it may be. "Yuiko." He decided…that was the easiest, and least violent path to take.


Yuiko nearly dropped the bowl of ramen in her hands when she opened the door. "You---yo-your e-e-ears….?" She managed to stammer, moving aside to let the two inside. She stared at the space where Ritsuka's ears had been only the day before. "R-ritsuka…who…?" she knew the question was stupid…it was quite obvious who. And she looked to Soubi next.

Alrighty then!

She ran foreward and hugged the two, having set her bowl on the table. "Congratulationsss!" she yelled happily, as she hugged Ritsuka tightly to her over-large chest. Soubi leaned against the wall, suppressing a laugh for his better judgement. Ritsuka, on the other hand, was finding it quite hard to breath. "Why, it took you soooo long! I just don't understand!" the perky blonde girl finally released him, holding him at arm's length away. "I knew you and Soubi were together, but Yuiko NEVER knew that you two would end up having---"

"Well, we did, Yuiko-chan." Soubi cut her off before she could say anything that would bring any…trouble upon the situation. "I truly appreciate it. But, you see…" he gave a glance to Ritsuka, then continued. "His mother won't exactly feel the same as you."

"Got it! Tsuka-chan will stay here with Yuiko!" Yuiko said, solving the problem herself. Ritsuka wasn't allowed to get a word in edgewise with her sitting there, so happy with herself and babbling on about what all she needed to do to prepare. "Go tell Yayoi. And if he gives you any trouble…" she grinned. "Just leave it to me."


Now completely stuck in his situation, Ritsuka now stood in Yayoi's doorway, the short boy before him unable to speak. "You…you…you……..whaaaat?!" his face was completely red. "You…and Soubi…you…?"

"Yes, Yayoi. Yes." Ritsuka groaned, leaning against the door with his head in his hands. "Is it THAT hard to comprehend?" Yayoi turned abruptly and sat on a chair just inside the next room. "I can't believe…Ritsuka, I thought---"

"I was after Yuiko, I know, I know." Ritsuka replied harshly. "I never was!"

Yayoi gave an apprehensive glance before he smirked and looked away once more. "I see. Then…" he was quiet for a moment more before he spoke again. "I want you to he---" The brown haired boy made a small choking noise before falling to the ground, unconcious.

"Ritsuka's ears, hm, Soubi-kun?" a deep, throaty laugh turned the two around. "I suppose I don't get the privelege of congratulating a lovely lady rather than a lovely man."

Ritsuka backed away from his brother slowly. He didn't like the sound in Seimei's voice as he stepped closer and closer. He didn't like it at all.
