Hey everyone!

Part 2 of the 3rd chapter is now up and I'm working on part 3. May take a while since the assassin creed games have now come out so I will be mostly focused on them.

Thank you for your review I love reading every single one. You have no idea how happy they make me when I read them.

Well on with the story :)

Chapter 3 Part 2

Ryoma took one last bite of his meal as he leaned forward groaning in annoyance when he noticed Sei still giving him glances, but not only that Sumire had decided to drag Sakuno over to the table with her where the six of them were eating. From what the five lovers could guess the older woman wanted to try to sort things out between Ryoma and Sakuno, much to their dismay.

"Hi Ryoma." She whispered as she quickly peaked up from looking at her lap to look at the other 13-year-old at the table. "Um... I was wondering if I could talk to you for a second?"

"Yeah, sure. We can talk in my dorm." As Ryoma got up, the five lovers were about to follow, but all of them froze when they noticed Sumire giving them a look telling them not to even think of following. All of them quietly settled back down watching as Ryoma left the cafeteria.

"What do you thinks going to happen?" Sei asked as he looked to Syu.

"I hate to say it, but if they get back together, I might just have to kill someone." Mitsu, Gen and Kei all shook their heads and rolled their eyes in disbelief knowing the tensai was perfectly serious, while Sei was silently agreeing.

It had been about 10 minutes before Sumire finally permitted them to leave and head back to their dorm. All five stood and tried to walk out calmly, but from those watching it was more of them rushing at a very fast pace towards the door. Sumire laughed as she grabbed the plates the boy's had left in their hurry.

They all stayed in silence as the lift dinged indicating they were at the top floor. As the door slid open they all held their tongues as they slowly got out letting an angry Sakuno pass them as she didn't even acknowledge their existence as she pressed the button to go back to the bottom floor.

"I wonder what happened?" Kei said to none of his lovers in particular after a second of pausing they all ran to their dorm room. As they were about to argue who would open the door they noticed it was already left ajar as a slight groaning was heard. Syu pushed the door open more as his eyes opened in worry. Rushing in he went next to the 13-year-old who was on the floor in a ball holding his stomach.

"Ryo speak to me. What did she do to you?" Syu gently pulled the boy up. Holding Ryoma's face in his hands. Syu swallowed as he tried to hold back in kissing the younger one as he noticed the slight tears in the others eyes.

"My stomach really hurts." Kei crouched down next to Syu and pried Ryoma's hands away from his stomach as he lifted the others shirt up trying not to wince at the red mark.

"That's going to bruise." Kei murmured as the others joined them on the floor. "Did she punch you?" The 13-year-old nodded as he sniffled. "So what did you do? My mother told me a while ago that hell hath no wrath like a woman's scorn. I remember when I sold all my mothers cars on eBay for $200 each. She was working abroad back then. You should have seen her face when she came back at the end of the week to an empty garage. She locked me in my room with no dinner for the whole night before getting my father to buy her a new garage full along with some really expensive classic cars. It then took 2 more weeks after that for her to truly forgive me and speak to me using proper sentences and not just the occasional yes and no."

Sei smiled at Kei as he started rambling on about the different cars before he quitened him down by giving his a small kiss on the lips.

"Come on Ryo. Let's go to bed." Syu ran his hand through Ryoma's hair, before tugging off the younger's shirt. Just as he was about to pick him up, Gen quickly went over pulling the boy into his arms and picking him up off the floor.

"I don't want to be carried." Ryoma said weakly as he pushed against the other chest. "I don't want to go to bed. My tummy hurts too much and don't treat me like a child. I'm not even dressed for bed. It's all Sei's fault Sakuno got mad and I'm not going to tell you the details." Gen smirked as he placed Ryoma down in his bed.

"Well, you don't need to tell us if you don't want to. Get some sleep and tomorrow is a new day. If it annoys you wearing trouser, kick them off and sleep in your underwear." But instead of hearing a reply, Ryoma rolled over and lightly snored.

"Not tired my ass." Kei muttered as he pulled off his own shirt and trousers before climbing into Gen's bed. "Get over here, I'm cold... And get undress while you're at it." Throwing his clothes on the floor not caring where they went, Gen lifted up the covers. Getting in, he pulled Kei towards him feeling every dip and bump on the others body, enjoying the warmth that came with it.

Sei sighed as he looked at the two beds which were now occupied. It was then he noticed Syu coming out from the closet in shorts and a t-shirt. "I'm going to sleep with Ryo and kiss his stomach better." With that he joined the 13-year-old cuddling down with his arms over Ryoma's waist as his lips were placed on the bruise that was now making its appearance on the smooth skin.

"It's like we're the parents." Sei grinned to the stoic person standing next to him. "So what do you say honey, the kids are in bed and we have the bathroom all to ourselves. We should finish what we started at the shop." Sei's hand went to Mitsu's face as the others eyes had drooped in lust.

"Mmm." Mitsu stole Sei's lips for a second. "Bath or shower?" Sei went on the tips of his feet as he leaned in tugging at the others hair in a loving manner.

"Shower. I like being held against the wall." Swallowing at the invitation for some sexual activity, Mitsu pushed Sei into the other room making sure it was locked and the shower was turned on drowning out any sound that they were sure to make during their nightly fun.

Wednesday 5/4/06

I woke up feeling something on my stomach which made me want to laugh. Instead I snorted as my hands went down feeling what it was. It felt like hair... Opening my eyes I looked to see a mop of light brown hair. 'Syu...' I recognized. I froze for a second, I finally noticing my stomach was slightly wet. It was a tongue dragging slowly across my skin just above my belly button. Biting my bottom lip, I moved one of my hands so it gripping Syu's hair.

He groaned. My whole body stiffened at the sound. In a panic I scanned the room noticing that the others were still asleep. Kei and Gen in one bed and Mitsu and Sei in another. Taking in a deep breath, I let my gaze wander back to the one currently kissing my stomach.

"Syu?" I whispered in a question tone wondering if the other was awake or having some sort of weird dream. The head under my hand moved as I saw two bright blue eyes staring at me clearly enjoying the situation. "Will you please get off me." I said sternly as I tried my best to be polite hoping the tensai would let me go. Instead his arms tightened around my waist as he grinned up at me.

In the next few seconds I tried to hold my laughter as Gen had appeared like magic next to the bed. Grabbing both of the tensai's arms and pulling him out from under the covers. The blue eyes were wide in shock much to my amusement. Ignoring how little clothing my saviour had on, I thanked him before running into the bathroom to get out of the awkward situation.

Fuji growled as he glared up at his lover.

"Patience Syu, he hasn't had the time to get to know us as we have each other. Forcing him will only push him away. Remember, Sei managed to at least get a date with him for all of us. When that's over and if it goes well then you can start the more intimate moves, but please keep in mind he's only 13." Gen smirked at the one he was restraining when he heard the slight huff passing the other's lips before they formed into the pout. Sanada's mouth went from smirking to a small smile as he buried his face into the honey-brown hair breathing in the natural scent of the other.

"Hey, did you notice the dog-tags around Ryo's neck?" Hearing a slight hum from his lover behind him, Syu carried on speaking. "Mitsu's even fallen head-over-heels for him." The two stood in silence for a couple of minutes before Syu spoke up again. "Ryo acts older than he should. Sei noticed yesterday when they went and done a favour for Aya. He said the way he talks and acts around certain people. I have to admit if I only heard his voice before seeing what he looks like I would've guessed he was in his early twenties."

Just as Gen was about to reply both looked over to a bed as a groan was heard. Sei rolled out of bed falling to the floor in a heap. Both smirked when they noticed the blunette was naked, but also as he stood they saw the bit marks littering his skin from his neck down to his thighs.

"It seems like you enjoyed yourself last night." Gen stated as his eyes once again took in the others appearance. Sei looked down at himself lifting one of his legs to try to get a better view of some of the marks. Smiling happily when he realized exactly how many were covering him in certain area's, Sei went over to them joining in with the embrace.

"So where is our little one?" At that they all turned to the bathroom door when they heard an 'epp'. "Ahh, speak of the devil and he shall appear. Good morning Ryoma." The blunettes face lit up even more when he saw the dark shade of red slowly climbing up the boy's neck covering his face and ears.

"Please put some clothes on. Why is it always you I find naked?" The 13-year-old stated as he turned back around, going back into the bathroom hoping to quell to feelings in his chest. 'At least I didn't faint.' Was his last thought as he closed the door with a soft click behind him.

Grinning Syu looked at Gen. "Does that mean he wants to see us naked too?"

II

It was the last lesson of the day and I find myself annoyed. Reason... Simple. I'm trying to concentrate on my lesson (in other words trying to catch up on my sleep) when who appears in front of my desk, Zoe.

"Yo." The ghost shouted as she tried to catch my attention, knowing I was trying my best to ignore her. "Hello, answer me." She perched herself on the edge of my desk as she leaned in closer. "So, are you still helping my sister or are you going to sit here doing bugger all." Trying to be discreet in my answer I covers my mouth coughing for her to shut up. It got me a few stares from those around me just they thankfully just shrugged it off and carried on with listening to the teacher.

"Ryoma... Something wrong?" Looking to Gen I just shrugged my shoulders. I shivered slightly as he leaned over, his breath tickling my ear and he spoke his next words. "If you need to talk, I'm always happy to listen." Just as I was about to thank him for offering, Zoe decided she had been ignored by me long enough.

"Aww, how sweet." She said sarcastically. "God, it's just make me want to throw up." The ghost rolled her eyes as she smirked at me knowing she had just pushed me over the edge. I suddenly stood causing the whole class to stare at me as I shouted at the top of my lungs.

"Will you just shut up. I don't care if you're dead, it doesn't give you the right to talk to me and expect an answer any time of the day. I have a life for god sake and it doesn't revolve around you!" I realised all eyes on me and all carrying stunned expressions, even the teacher in the room seemed lost for words. Flushing in embarrassment, I quickly ran to the front of the class and out the door.

In my haste, I went into the library. Finding a quiet corner on the floor, hoping everyone (living and dead) would just leave me along and let me calm down from the scene I caused in my lesson. Bring my legs up to my chest to hug, I buried my face in my knees as I replayed the incident in my head over and over again.

I don't remember falling asleep. Hell, I'm just barely recognizing that I'm waking up. Scanning the area, I felt my breath catch when I saw five figures sitting round a table not far from me. All currently staring at me as I lot out a groan.

"Oi, brat. Don't fall back to sleep." I heard Kei, as I buried my face back into my knees begging in my head for them to just get up and leave. It was than I could hear a chair scrapping across the floor before feeling something poke my sides. In seconds I found myself laying on the floor in fits of giggles as Syu towered over me with a sadistic smile on his face.

"Cheer up Ryo. You're so beautiful when you're laughing." I stopped, as I noticed his eyes staring down at me. They had a softness to them which I tend to notice more and more the longer I spend time with him. His hands now splayed either side of my head to hold himself up. I swallowed as I tried to hide how nervous this position made me. Looking from the corner of my eyes I saw the other four all watching... expecting something. "Ryo..." I glanced back to the blue-eyes when I realized I had been distracted. "What happened in class?" My face twisted in to one of distaste. I really didn't want to talk about this. Reaching up I pushed as Syu's chest hoping he would understand and get off me, so I could get up.

"So what's the time? I'm hungry." Sighing in defeat, Syu helped me off the floor as the others started getting up from around the table they were occupying.

"It's lunch. We have about twenty minutes before the start of afternoon lessons." Realising they must have been looking for me for the first half of the break, I followed silently to the cafeteria.

Saturday 8/4/06

I hadn't seen Zoe for the rest of the week. I think she finally got the message of 'leave me alone'. I spent the morning in lessons since I already missed a school day. At least I wasn't on my own. Mitsu and Kei were there sitting on either side of me as the teacher went through something which I should have been paying attention to. Instead I had my phone under my desk as I searched for the college that Natalie's boyfriend 'Tom' attended. I knew the name just didn't know where it was located.

After lessons, Kei had managed to convince me, to let him go instead. Saying that I should have a day of 'R and R' as he so put it. So I told him who it was he had to meet and the message.

'Monday at 5pm he had an appointment to see Natalie.' That was it. I just need to hope Kei keeps his personality in check and doesn't end up offending the other guy. I really regret sending him now. The more I think about it now, he's probably the worst out of the five to send.

So here I am sitting on the floor in my dorm with Syu, Sei and Gen playing monopoly. I don't think Gen's really paying attention to the game. The TV is playing in the background and his eyes keep drifting to the screen which had a mafia movie of some sort showing. Sei on the other hand is kind of scaring me. I feel his eyes once in a while looking over my body. I really hope it's just me being paranoid. Syu... I given up with. I mean whose great idea was it for him to be the banker. One, he seems to own the most expensive properties with houses and not only that he still has money to spare. On a better note, I'm no longer taking part in this hell... em, I mean game. I silently cheered when I went bankrupt. Now I was keeping a close eye on Syu to see if he is really stealing money out of the bank.

Just as Gen's turn came around the door to the room slammed open and Kei stormed in, steaming coming out of his ears as he paced the room, probably expecting one of us to ask what was wrong. Syu was the one to ask the question.

"What wrong?" Kei huffed as he repeated the question. "I'll tell you, that ego maniac of a college..." He started ranting much to our amusement. His arms waving dramatically in the air as his pacing sped up. "And all because he think his has giant..." All our eyebrows raised in question as Keigo carried on explaining his opinion. Finally the rant slowed down. "Honestly, his parents probably spoilt him so much he has no care in the world of anything, getting whatever he want when he asks." My lips pressed into a thin lip as I tried to hold down my smirk. 'Hello pot meet kettle.' I though to myself as I noticed both Syu and Sei had the same thought going through their heads as they both to held back their laughs.

"So Kei what did he say about meeting Natalie?" Stopping in the center of the room he glance to me and scowled.

"He said if he really has to go he will, as long as it doesn't interrupted too much of his free time. Now for my reward of going I want a kiss right here." He point to his cheek as his mouth twisted into a smirk when he saw the horror clearly written on my face.

"But... You forced my to stay." I shouted as I swallowed the lump that had appeared in my throat. "And you never said that I had to give you anything. I thank you for going, but I'm not ki-kissing you. Even if it is only on the cheek."

"I wouldn't have asked for a reward if the task in question wasn't as difficult as it turned out to be." Feeling a poke on my cheek, I turned and scowled at a grinned blunette.

"Come on Ryo. It doesn't even have to be a long one." I startled grumbling about peer pressure when Syu join in with Sei, but sadly eventually I caved in.

Standing in front of Kei, I held my breath as he bent forward with his face leaning at an angle. Steeling my resolve I quickly placed a peck on his cheek before backing away and wiping my mouth. Keigo just stood back up straight as he folded his arms and look down at me.

"Quit rubbing you mouth brat. You won't catch anything. I have more chance of getting a disease from you not the other way around." Biting my lip to stop myself from snapping back at him, I was suddenly turned round and came face to face with a certain brunette who had his lips puckered together.

"Come on Ryo. My kiss next." My hand came up and pressed against the others face forcibly pushing it away. "Aww, you're no fun." Looking past Syu I noticed Gen was back to watching TV not even giving a second thought of what his lovers were doing. 'They must act like this a lot.' I thought as I made my way over to the game and put it away knowing that it was not longer keeping Sei's and Syu's attention.

Monday 10/4/06

It seemed that time flies when you're having to hang round with two weirdo's for the weekend. Mitsu had managed to get away with the excuse of helping his mother in the shop. I was going to say that I was also going to help, but I found out Mitsu likes the idea of me suffering and told both Syu and Sei that Ayana had told me to have the weekend to myself. Gen and Kei had gone to Atobe manner to visit Kei's parents since they were back for a couple of day from a business trip.

"For the last time, I told all of you I can do this on my own." I stated, arms folded and right eyebrow twitching in annoyance. It's 4.45 in the afternoon. I find myself in a limo with five very nosey 15-year-olds. "I never said any of you could come."

"You do want a lift back though, don't you?" Kei gave me his infamous smirk that his gives every one when he knows he's right. I really do want a lift back. I forgot my wallet and have no money on me so a bus is out of the question.

"Yeah, I want a lift, but you five have to stay here. You do not follow me from this point onwards." With that I climbed and making sure I slammed the door to the limo knowing it would piss off his royal highness.

Walking into the room where Natalie was waiting, I smiled when she noticed me and stood, coming towards my direction she greeted me with a hello.

As I settled down in the chair next to her, we talked a bit about her past with Zoe and now and then the mention of Tom. It had been about 20 minutes and still no sign of him.

II

"God, the brat better hurry up!" Keigo moaned as he laid across the seats of the limo with his head on Genichiro's lap and his feet up Sei's legs. "How long does it take to talk to two people and then sod off." Mitsu was sitting on the floor with Syu in his lap ignoring the rest of them as he ran his hands up and down the tensai's back enjoying the small moans he was getting in return.

Suddenly, Kei went quiet as the all turned their attention to the window, seeing a car pull up in the space besides them and seeing a person in their late teens early twenties get out.

"No wonder the brat isn't out yet. That prat hadn't even turned up until now." Keigo stated thought gritted teeth as Gen was now holding him back, so he wouldn't get out of the limo and cause a scene.

"Kei, look on the bright side. When Ryo comes back out he'll probably be annoyed." Four of the lovers looked to Syu in confusion.

"Oh, and how is that a good thing?" Mitsu sounded slightly interested as he asked the tensai in his lap the question.

"Saa... you much of noticed how cute he looks. When he's annoyed the tips of his ears go red and his face get all scrunched up in the adorable way like every thing repulses him." Not understanding what the blue-eyed lover was on about, Kei rolled his eyes.

"Who the fuck has been letting Syu sniff glue?" All of them laughed as they forgot about the late arrival of Tom as they continued to list off all the things that then tensai could possibly be on.

II

I could feel one of my eyes twitching as me and Natalie sat opposite from Tom. He didn't even apologize for being late. As they said the normal greetings, Natalie asked what Tom had been up to since his last visit.

"Well I've gotten in to college. I've got a pretty heavy course load, and I'm doing the tennis thing." He smiled slightly. "What about you? What have you been doing since... you know." Zoe decided it was her time to appear.

"So I'm dead, Natalie's stuck in a nut house, and he's going to keggers, trying to score with sorority chicks."

"I've been reading." Her hands claps in front of her as she laughed awkwardly. Zoe stood behind Natalie's chair she leaned in close and whispered in her sister's ear.

"Sandwiched between about a billion hours of staring at the wall, broken up by the occasional therapy session. Blah, blah, blah." I tried not to react to the ghost.

"I'm always thinking about you, though." Tom spoke up after a few seconds of silence.

"Are you? Really? Why don't you just break up with her? You know you're scoring with your tennis groupies. Face it, you're just dying to cut this nut job loose." I could hear the spite in Zoe's voice.

I noticed Natalie react to her sisters emotions. She her self was suddenly angry. Standing up, Natalie looked down at Tom with a sneer on her face.

"Are you sleeping with other girls?" Surprise clearly written on his face at the subject.

"What?" This is what I was dreading. Zoe has managed to influence Natalie.

"You know," I quickly tried to calm the situation. "I think visiting hours are almost over." Looking over to the window I hoped the doctor was paying attention sadly her back was turned talking to another co-worker.

"Are you?" She ignored me. Tom still looking startled answered her back.

"Where did that come from?"

"I don't hear a denial?" I stood next to Natalie as I noticed her sister looking very proud of herself.

"You know, she's tired. You can come back tomorrow." My hand rested on Nat's shoulder. Why is it me that has to act like the adult. I'm younger than both of them.

"Didn't you say that we'd be together forever, Tom? Didn't you tell me that college wouldn't change that?" I was now holding her wrist as I felt her move forward slightly. The doctor finally took notice and came through to the room.

"Nat, come on. I mean, a lot has happened since I said that." Oh my god! Tom is not helping. Can't he just shut up and leave.
"So why did you even come here?" Zoe looked smug. She leaned against her sister.

"Yeah, tommy boy?" Her eye-brow lifted in question. The smile still on her face.

"Why? I just wanted to see how you were doing." He was backing up slightly. I think... Or I hope that he has finally realized that he is sounding like an ass.

"Here's how I'm doing. Stay away from me! Stay away from me! You don't care about me! You don't care about me! You don't care about anybody!" Natalie lunged forward wanting to hit her... Well, ex-boyfriend I'm guessing now. I'm not strong. I won't pretend that I am. So I feel pretty relived that the doctor decided to intervene and drag Natalie away. Letting out a sigh, I gave Tom a glare before following the doc back, making sure Nat was alright before taking my leave.

II

It was about 9 o'clock at night. I was sitting at a desk with Gen working on a project. Syu and Mitsu were also working on their own. Kei was laying on his bed reading and Sei seemed to be waiting for a call. He was just laying in the middle of the room on the floor staring at his phone.

"What are you..." I was in the middle of my question, when I jumped slightly in surprise when the mobile started ringing. Sei was on his feet as he answered, pacing the room as he did so.

"Hello." He sound impatient and excited. "Yes that is me... Really?" I think I've never seen Sei this happy before. His whole face is glowing. "Yes, of course. I'll phone back tomorrow with my guardians and head teachers consent. Yes, I'll get letters for both of them and bring them to Mercy Hospital on Friday. Thank you... Goodbye." As he hung up, he threw his phone onto his bed, before pouncing on top of Kei, squealing like a child in excitement. "I passed! I passed! I passed!" Syu soon join the two on the floor rolling congratulation Sei.

"Whats going on?" I asked as I went on to the closest bed and sat on the edge with my legs crossed. Mitsu ignoring the three on the floor he sat next to me and watch them with a hint of amusment.

"2 years ago Sei signed up for a medical course. Once in a while he'll go out for training. Mostly during the weekend, but the phone call he was waiting for was to conferm that he had passed the first part of his training. He'll now get to do on field training going out with two paramedics. Doing some of the minor calls they get in and so on. His goal is to become a doctor.

As he gains more experiences, he'll get to move further on in his training. A doctor at the Mercy Hospital has agreed to take Sei on as an apprentice, but he'll have to get A's in Chemistry, Biology, Physics, P.E, English and Math. Then A's-C's in four other subjects. In college he'll have to take the advance courses and also excel in them. If he does all that he's pretty much already got a job. The hospital will be paying for the training, when he finishes his schooling. He also needs to get his driver's licence." I looked to Mitsu wide-eyes. I'm truly impressed. Sei has everything sorted out. I frowned as a thought crossed my mind.

"So he's paying for training now?" I watched as Gen joined the two of us deciding to join the conversation.

"Yeah, he pays $35,800 a year." I could feel my mouth drop open. "His parents said that if this is what he wanted he would have to pay for everything. He had managed to convice the bank to give him a loan, but last year when we all started dating, Kei paid it all off secretly. You should have seen how mad Sei was when he found out telling Kei that he needed no help. After calming down, Sei kept telling him that he was going to pay him back every penny, but Kei wouldn't take it." I glanced over the floor, noticing that the three who were rolling around were now sitting up listening. Sei decided he would finish explaining.

"In the end Kei convinced me not to pay him back with the best advice he's ever given anyone. He said 'I'll pay for everything, just become a doctor, save lives and don't fuck up.' After that he won me over." I smiled. I didn't know what to expect. Hearing at how rich the Atobes were, I thought the five would just all live off that, but it never once occured to me that they probably all wanted jobs and to earn their own money. God, I'll never tell Sei this, but I really do respect him.

"Hey, why don't we go out and celebrate on Friday. It can also be counted as our first date with Ryo." Syu grinned as I reluctantly agree.

Tuesday 11/4/06

How do I get myself in these complicated situations. I felt like I was in the principles office with my parents. Anyway take away principal and add a doctor and then exchange my parents for Natalie's. It seems that Mr and Ms Harper were called about Nat's little outburst, by that asshole Tom. So I got dragged out of lesson and had to pay money to get a bus and meet them.

From what I heard they were divorced. It seemed they had a disagreement about Natalie and sending her here.

The mother, Barbara doesn't seem to understand Natalie. It seemed Zoe was right. She thinks the sun rises and set's on Tom. Doesn't even ask what her daughter wants. Her father, Steve on the other hand is just sitting there. As the meeting drew to a close, I was no longer allowed to meet up with Natalie. It seems that Barbara didn't see the point in me visiting. I don't see what the problem is. Is it wrong to go and see her as a friend?

II

Steve Harper sighed as he unlocked his car and sat in the driver's seat. He didn't want Natalie in this place. What made it worse was that Barbara was going to move his daughter up state to an even stricter institute. Meaning he would get to see her less than he already does.

Placing the Key into the ignition he was just about to pull out when his car slowly started to fog up making it near impossible to see where he was going. Looking around seeing if it was the heater. He finally looked up when he could hear the sound of a finger moving on glass. 'I AM HERE' the messaged read.

"Zoe?" Steve whispered to himself as if knowing it was his dead daughter. Just as quickly as the fog appeared it left leaving a very confused man in its wake.
