Hello again readers~! Sorry for the delay! It has been a pretty long time since I have updated, and that is because of the poor amount of reviews.

Even if it is for a small group of people, I really think I should continue this story for those people. I would feel really bad if I didn't at least fufill their wishes. So here comes chapter 6, I hope you enjoy!

Warning!- MATURE content in this chapter!

Chapter 6- Please Ritsu

Ritsu talked with An as they headed to the joint hot spring. They were wearing white robes that were meant to get wet inside the hotspring, it would be reckless for them to bathe naked together, so they both thought that this was best.

"So Rit-chan...why are you so against marrying me?" An asked, causing Ritsu to tense slightly.

"An...I thought we were passed that." he said sighing.

An sighed. "I just need to know Rit-chan...is it because of me? Is it because I am not good enough?" she asked.

Ritsu stopped walking and rubbed the back of his neck. "It isn't you An alright. I just don't like you in that way...to me it's like...you are a little sister. I know that in highschool I was nice to you and all, it's because I liked you as a friend...but I never intended on giving you the impression that I loved you." he said quietly so the passing couple wouldn't hear their conversation.

An sighed and ran a hand through her hair. "Let's go inside." she said and walked into the hot spring.

Ritsu walked in behind her shortly afterwards and looked around. It was completely deserted right now. It was only him and An, which didn't really set well with him. He knew that An wasn't like one of those weird girls that would spike your drink to make you sleep with her, but if his parents had any involvement they would mostly like encourage her to do it.

An was already getting in the water, she had her hair up in a bun as she waded through the waist deep water and over to a bench under the water. She sat down and the water went up to her throat.

"Come in Rit-chan, the water is really warm." she said. She rested her back against the wall of the bath and sighed and smiled.

Ritsu thought for a moment before stepping into the water. "It does feel great." he mumbled as he kept distance between him and An. He didn't want her to get any more weird ideas in her head.

He sighed and felt the tension in his arms and legs just dissolve with the bath salts in the water. He kept his mind off of anything that gave him stress, expecially the reason for this trip, and his boss who is desperatly trying to get him to fall in love with him again.

Ritsu closed his eyes and relaxed even more in the water. He took in the fragrance of the bath oils and the salts in the bath, it smelled of light lavender and a dusky rose. Even if it did smell more feminine, it didn't seem to bother him.

He felt like dozing off in the warm air that was moist and was slipping down to his lungs smoothly. The water felt like a moving warm blanket that you'd wrap up in during the cold season of winter, it felt great...really great.

He had to shake his head some to keep himself awake, he decided to open his eyes to help him stay even more awake, but when he did, he saw An in front of him, closed eyes and lips slightly altered as if she were aiming to kiss him.

He moved, startled and now self concious. His move was useless, because An only moved quickly back into position and placed her lips onto his. She kept them there and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Ritsu couldn't move, he was abosolutly at a loss for words or actions. He didn't think An would ever be so bold, but afterall he had kept her hanging all these years, but he couldn't help who he loved. Confusion ran through his head, he knew he had to pull away from her, but his mind and his body were doing two different things.

An took Ritsu's actionless motions as an 'okay' to keep going, mistaking it for approval instead of confusion. She deepened the kiss and held onto Ritsu tighter and tears ran down her eyes.

"Please Rit-chan...choose me." she whispered and laid her head on his chest and kept her arms around his neck. "I love you so much." she whispered.

Ritsu soon relaxed out of his confusion and calmly sat there. "I'm sorry." he whispered and closed his eyes and rubbed her back. He leaned down to her ear. "I'm so sorry An-chan...I told you...already." he whispered in her ear, so that if anyone came in, they wouldn't have heard it.

An clung to Ritsu and sniffled softly into his chest. She trembled in his arms and held him desperatly.

Ritsu looked down at An and then slowly began to push her away.

An only tightened her grasp. "No! Please...just a little longer...at least...let me do this for a few minutes." she whispered in between her crying.

Ritsu relaxed his arms and let her stay there for a few minutes longer.

An sat there for a few more minutes before looking up into Ritsu's eyes. "Can I ask one last thing? Please...just this once and I will never ask again."she whispered.

Ritsu got worried then. "What is it?" he asked. He hoped it wasn't what he feared.

An blushed and bit her lip. "Please...will you...kiss me willingly...for a minute or two...please I swear I will never ask again!" she said, more tears falling down her ivory cheeks.

Ritsu sighed, at least it wasn't what he thought she'd say. He thought about it for a moment and then looked around, the bath was still only being used by them, so he decided to at least give her these two minutes of happiness.

"Alright, but just for two minutes." he said reluctantly with a slight blush himself. "But don't get the idea that I am doing this because I have feelings for you, I already told you how I felt...so after this please respect my wishes from now on."he whispered.

An nodded and blushed. She closed her eyes and waited for what she had wanted most of her teen years. She even smiled a little.

Ritsu took a deep breath and then slowly leaned down and pressed his lips to hers. Her lips were warm and much like a girls. He didn't feel his heart race at all while kissing her, not like it did with Takano's...wait! Why was he thinking about Takano of all times! That is like the biggest mistake you could do while kissing another person, expecially females, they were really touchy about that stuff.

After a few seconds, Ritsu felt something warm and slick on his lips, he then felt it slide between his lips and into his mouth to meet with his own. He shuddered inwardly as An explored his mouth, it was nothing like he was used to, it ackward and like he was betraying someone. Nevertheless, he went along with it and kissed her back, like he promised.

Ritsu thought he saw something in the corner of his eyes coming towards them, but guessed it was just his imagination, and let An have her way.

Finally after a few more seconds, An pulled back and wiped her lips softly. "Thank you...I will cherish this moment forever." she whispered and hugged him one last time.

It was only then that Ritsu realized that there was an actual person coming towards them, trudging in the water quickly.

He looked up quickly to see Takano charging over to him with an extremely angered face. He felt his insides go cold, never had he seen Takano so angry before. He knew that he was going to hear it now.

But to his surprise when Takano approached and spoke, he sounded calm.

"I'm sorry to interupt, Ms. An...but I have something to discuss to Ritsu, it's urgent, from work." he said.

An stood up and looked at Takano and then to Ritsu. "Um..I will head back to the room then...see you there Rit-chan." she said and left the bath after grabbing her towel.

Ritsu looked down at his hands in the water, he was nervous that he and Takano were now alone.

Takano was silent for a moment, when he finally did speak, it caused Ritsu to jump.

"What in the hell was that?" Takano asked in a low and angered voice.

Ritsu swallowed hard and looked up at Takano. "I don't know what you are talking about." he said and stood up.

"I should go, An is probably worried."he said.

Takano grabbed Ritsu's wrist as he was going by and pulled him roughly to him and grabbed his chin hard and kissed him.

Ritsu winced at the force and the roughness of Takano's touches.

"Ow." he said into Takano's mouth and tried to push him away.

Takano only got rougher as he pushed Ritsu up against the egdge of the bath and slipped in between his legs and kissed him deeper.

Ritsu winced and tried to push him away even further. "Stop." he gasped out as his lips left Takano's, only to return shortly afterwards.

Takano pulled back a few seconds later from the kiss and looked deep into Ritsu's eyes with hurt and lonely eyes. "Onoderu." he whispered.

Ritsu blushed and felt like he was going to cry. "What?" he whispered back.

Takano hugged Ritsu to him. "Don't let her take you from me...don't kiss anyone else...don't hold anyone else...don't let anyone else touch you...please." he whispered, begging in his voice.

Ritsu went soft against Takano's chest and he said nothing as Takano began to touch his outer thigh's. He would often feel Takano cup his bottom and massage his sides with his thumbs while kissing on his neck.

Takano slid his hands inside of the top of Ritsu's robe and tugged it open, revealing the treasure inside. He looked at Ritsu's body for a moment and then into his eyes.

"Love me...love me only." he whispered before leaning down and kissing Ritsu's chest.

Ritsu shivered softly, this time it was a good shiver. When An kissed him, he felt ackward, but when it was Takano, it felt just right. He still wouldn't admit to loving him, he still denied it...but right now he couldn't even speak, he felt happiness and the warmth that he had felt back in highschool.

Takano reached down and slowly ran his hand over Ritsu's lower stomach. He then went lower and ran his hand down Ritsu's length, and even smiled a little when it reacted to his touch. He felt his heart pick up the pace as he knew that he was about to take Ritsu once again.

He lined himself up with Ritsu's entrance and was about to take the important first thrust that would send his body spiraling into a hot volcano of intense pleasure, when they were interupted by his much unwanted friend at the time.

"Masamune, what are you doing? Don't stay in to long or you will faint." Yokozawa said wading over to them, not yet seeing Ritsu tucked under Takano's chest staring wide eyed.

Takano pulled away and stepped aside to expose Ritsu's naked body with the bath robe floating around his shoulders. "Go away." he hissed.

Ritsu gasped and pulled his robe back down over his body and sealed it with the robe string. He began to quickly make his way out of the bath, but Takano stopped him by catching his arm.

"Onoderu, wait." Takano said.

Ritsu stood there for a moment, not sure what to do, but cleared his head and shook it and then pulled away from his grasp and ran off and out of the bath. He quickly got dried off and put on the dry green robe and went back to his room, where An had already ate and went to bed.

He laid down on his futon and squezzed his eyes shut and tried to stop his racing thoughts.

Meanwhile back in the bath, Yokozawa stared hard at Takano. "What were you thinking, Masamune!" he snapped.

Takano crossed his arms and fixed his own robe up and looked at Yokozawa. "You know you really piss me off some times. You runied it, completely ruined it." he said and began walking out of the bath. "It's my damn buisness of what I was doing, and who I was doing it with." he snapped back.

Yokozawa grabbed Takano's shoulder and stopped him. "That bastard is going to mess you up again!" he yelled.

Takano turned around quickly and punched Yokozawa in the face. "Listen, Yokozawa...we've been friends since College, you are a great friend and an amazing colleage...and I wouldn't trade anyone for you...but don't ever let me hear you say one bad thing about Onoderu again. It's my damn buisness who I sleep with and love. We slept together a couple of times back then, but I told you before we started working together that our relationship was strictly professional...unless you want to be hiring another manga editor, then leave Ritsu the fuck alone. This is my last warning. I want us to still be friends, but you need to get over what was in the past!" he yelled and walked out.

Yokozawa stood there, even more angered. Like hell he was going to let that scrawny asshole come back and take away the only love he has ever felt. He wasn't giving up, it was far from over, and that much was for sure.
