Chapter 4

For some reason my body has gone into shock. Due to what yuiko-chan has told me. How can someone not like love? Why is this happening to him?

"Ah…soubi-san are you ok?" Yuiko asked with concern. "Did I say something wrong?" She added to her question.

Soubi kept silent as he suddenly became cold. His body felt like ice all over. Yuiko suddenly leaned forward to him and placed her warm hand on his forehead. Soubi looked up in surprise as he felt her warmth.

"Yuiko…chan?"

"Soubi do you have a fever?" she asked removing her hand.

"No, I'm fine. I just need some time to relax. What you said must've really caught me off guard." He explained.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that to you. You are a friend of ritsuka-kun and I hurt you. I said things that ritsuka-kun probably didn't want you to know about." Soubi could hear the nervousness in her voice. "I…yuiko did something terrible to one of ritsuka-kun's close friends!" She added.

This girl is a good friend of ritsuka and she's telling me things that ritsuka wouldn't tell anyone. Ritsuka is indeed a good person. Yuiko is very sweet too.

Soubi touched her hand gently and smiled kindly.

"Yuiko-chan...Thank you so much." Soubi said with a smile.

"You're welcome…soubi-san."

Meanwhile ritsuka sat in his room and stared at his computer. Looking at the pictures that he and seimei had taken when ritsuka was young. Many things passed through his mind while he looked at these photos.

"Seimei…what happened to you?" ritsuka asked himself.

Suddenly his cell phone began to ring.

"Hello?" Ritsuka asked as he picked it up. "You again? What do you want?" Ritsuka's tone became cold and mean.

"What else would I want ritsuka-kun? I want you to come back." The voice replied smoothly. "It's been a long time since we last saw each other. You left so suddenly." He added.

"I have nothing more to say to you. You used me to get at my brother." Ritsuka argued back.

It became silent for a moment. All ritsuka could hear was him blowing out smoke from his cigarette.

"Well…why don't you tell me how your fight with breathless went?" The man asked softly.

"The fight was over within seconds. Soubi lent me his strength and I defeated them easily." Ritsuka responded.

"Hmm…Soubi?" The man sounded confused. "Who's soubi?"

"I've had enough of this Retsu-sensei. It's late and I have school tomorrow. Don't call me again." With that said Ritsuka hung up the phone.

"So you think that I will allow you to have another sacrifice other than me? You are sadly mistaken ritsuka-kun." Retsu said while blowing out smoke.

That guy…thinks that he owns me. Hmm…soubi…I didn't go to school today because of what happened. I have to talk to him…for some reason…I feel like I have to.

The next day ritsuka sat in his class staring out the window at the gates. He saw that soubi wasn't there waiting.

"Man." Ritsuka let out a sigh and put his head down.

"Ritsuka!" Yuiko yelled while running up to him.

"Good morning yuiko. Sorry I didn't come yesterday…I was sick. Were you lonely? Did anyone pick on you while I was gone?" Ritsuka asked with concern in his voice.

"No. I wasn't picked on." She said happily.

"That's good." Ritsuka said with relief.

Ritsuka looked out the window again with loneliness clouding his eyes. He was searching for soubi…hoping that he would show.

"Ritsuka-kun… umm if you're looking for soubi I could give you his cell phone number." She stated.

"What?" Ritsuka said confused. "How do you know soubi?" He asked her.

"Umm well yesterday soubi came looking for you. He looked upset when he didn't see you so I took him with me to get ice cream." She began to explain her day with soubi. "Anyway I told him how I was your friend and that you are a really nice person. After that he seemed kind of shocked by some of the other things that I told him. Like how your personal life is and stuff." She added into it.

"I see." Ritsuka responded.

"That's when he gave me his cell phone number. He said that I was a good friend to have for ritsuka-kun." She added.

Ritsuka tilted his head with a gentle smile at her.

"Yes you are yuiko. You are a good friend." He said while standing up and patting her head.

"Ritsuka-kun where are you going? We're still in school." She asked.

"To find soubi." He responded while putting on his coat.

"But won't you need his number to contact him?" She asked confused.

"No…I'll find him. If we are really meant to be then he should be easy to find. Later yuiko." He said while walking out.

"Bye! Good luck!" Yuiko yelled.

"Yuiko-chan where is Aoyagi-kun going?" Asked a female teacher who still had her ears.

Yuiko turned to see her homeroom teacher standing behind her with a worried expression.

"Don't worry shinonome-sensei ritsuka-kun had to go apologize to someone." Yuiko answered.

Damn it soubi! Why are you so difficult to track?! You're not like the other useless sacrifices. You're different from them. Something about you makes you unique to me, but what? What is so different about you? The one called beloved just like seimei.

When ritsuka turned the corner he came upon a college.

"Found you." Ritsuka said with a grin.

Ritsuka walked towards the school and through the doors. Meanwhile soubi was in class painting with kio.

"Hey sou-chan are you ok? You seem out of it today." Kio asked worried.

"It's none of your concern." Soubi said coldly.

I can't tell him what happened yesterday. If I tell him he'll blow it out of proportion. I just have to wait till I'm done class and then go get ritsuka and talk to him. Oh man wait a minute what if yuiko talked to him after she talked to me? Then he knows what I'm going to ask him and he'll get upset. Just great!

"Ne, ne, can you see him?" a girl squealed.

"He's the little one standing right there. He's so cute. Isn't he a high school student?" They all began to ask.

"I wander what they're so happy about?" Kio asked curious.

Soubi and kio walked over to where they were and saw ritsuka surrounded by girls.

Ritsuka?!

Ritsuka looked over to see soubi beat red and smiled at him.

What's he doing here? Is this pay back for coming to his school unannounced? Oh no!

"Sou-chan are you ok? You look a little red in the face." Kio asked.

"Uhh…mmm…" Soubi muttered.

Ritsuka laughed a little and then walked over to soubi.

Oh no here he comes! What do I do? How should I respond?

"Come with me." Ritsuka said while grabbing soubi's hand and pulling him to him.

"Ah wait ritsuka! I'm still in class!" Soubi shouted.

"Sou…chan?" Kio asked confused.

Ritsuka led soubi to an empty room where there was little light and released his hand. Soubi looked at ritsuka and saw his hand was shaking.

"Ritsuka…what's wrong?" Soubi asked. "Why…."

"Does this mean you are my sacrifice soubi?" Ritsuka asked loudly.

What? He asked me this already.

"Of course. Even though I don't understand the situation I will be your sacrifice." Soubi responded in a low voice. "What's wrong ritsuka? Your hand is shaking." He added.

Ritsuka looked away.

I could tell something was wrong with him. This wasn't the usual cool and arrogant ritsuka. This ritsuka was nervous and scared. His pale skinned hand shaking at his side.

Soubi walked towards ritsuka slowly and pulled him to him. Ritsuka looked up in surprise while soubi held him tightly.

"You're still warm even though it's so cold out…why?" Soubi asked while smiling.

"Soubi…I'm sorry I got mad at you the other day. What you said caught me off guard and well I guess you heard from yuiko about me and my past? I really don't mean to be that way, but I can't help it." Ritsuka explained with his face in soubi's chest. "I'm sorry."

Soubi smiled gently at ritsuka and held him tighter.

"It's alright. I understand." Soubi said.

"Thank you." Ritsuka responded.

"Of course…I love you ritsuka." Soubi said hesitantly.

Ritsuka pulled himself away and they stared into each other's eyes. Soubi took the lead and grabbed ritsuka's face and kissed his warm lips. Soubi backed away and smiled at the blushing ritsuka.

"What is it that you wish of me master?"

"Hmm…to love me one day and to never leave me alone." Soubi answered with a giggle in his voice.

"Understood." Ritsuka answered.
