Subaru blanched as he stared at the cloth in his hands. There was a very high chance he shouldn't put it on, but then, he really had to get Seishirou the gift. As he wound his way through the crowd, he went into the dressing room and changed. Shucking off his jeans and such, putting on the skirt and shirt, he started to cringe, he felt gross dressing as a girl. Yet as he looked in the mirror, he sucked in air as he looked at his reflection and saw his sister, Hokuto-chan. "Hokuto…" he said softly, deftly moving his fingers over the glass. "Hey!" a tall beautiful blonde woman called out. "It's time for your coming out party girl!" Subaru's eyes widened at Karen. This…was…insane. "Let's go! Don't just stand there!" Pulling him by the arm, Karen weaved her and Subaru through the throng, exiting through a secret door.

Suddenly, Subaru found himself in a snazzy, high-class club; with women sitting on guys' laps and drinks all around. The room was dimly lit and smoky, all the more to get the
'nightlife' atmosphere. "Oh hell no!" Subaru growled, turning around to stomp away. "Where are you going?" Karen chided; then she looked at his feet. "What! Where are your shoes?" She said, glaring a hole through his combat boots. Unfortunately, they had no time left, so she had to deal with it. "Alright, go out there. Daisuke said you should know what you're doing…? Karen said hesitantly. She was going to push him along when she smiled weakly. "Here…put this on." She said lightly. It was a big, obnoxious yellow bow, something Hokuto would have worn with pride. As soon as Karen placed it on his head, he felt a tumble of emotions as he thought about his sister and childhood. "Alright now, let's go" Karen stated, knocking him out of his revelry.

The moment Subaru stepped into the club, eyes started darting towards him. Subaru scowled as he noticed several of the men leer at him. 'Old bastards…' he thought. Suddenly, he found the perfect spot, a little secluded area near the back. 'It's open!' Subaru thought with glee. Sitting down, all he could think of was the beautiful tree, and how it would be Seishirou's. No matter if this new Seishirou had no powers; it was only fitting for him to have one. Subaru's eyes watered as he thought of his receiving of Seishirou's eye…how he had been under his family's cherry blossom tree. Though he had never met his mother, and though he had only known him for a short while, he still got overwhelmed standing at the place where it all began for him.

"Hey you…you got a name?" Some guy said, calling him out of his revelry. "Not for sale." Subaru said, eyes narrowing. The man grinned through his black glasses. "Ohh…feisty, are we?" Subaru merely stared blankly at the wall. The man walked closer and sat; pushing his face into the other man's. "C'mon. How much do you want beautiful? I can give you anything you want." He whispered, trying to put his hand up Subaru's shirt. "I'm a man!" Subaru finally yelled, grabbing the attention of everyone in their area. Blushing deeply, he turned to the wall. The man grinned. "Baby, you can be an it for all I care." Subaru guffawed; the man laughed deeply. "What, did you think the fact that you're a man would steer me away?" Subaru was still speechless. "It's alright baby… just close your eyes…" the man whispered, going in for the kill…uh; kiss. Subaru was prepared for gagging hen a deep voice reached him.

"Keep your hands off. He's mine" a deep, male voice called. Subaru narrowed his eyes in the direction of the voice, and his pulse quickened as he saw the shadowed figure. The man wore a suit and was leaning with his back against the wall, bangs in his face, cigarette in his mouth. An 

instant case of dry mouth came over Subaru, and he had to lick his lips repeatedly. "What do you want…?" the man on Subaru growled. The man against the wall grinned. "I want what belongs to me…hand him over" The man against the wall stated again quietly. Subaru's eyes widened as a wave of lust overtook him. Ever since he had met teen Seishirou he had been highly susceptible to such emotions. The man looked at Subaru, then back at the man; finally he got up and walked over to the man on the wall. "What are you going to do if I don't?" he sneered. The man gave another beautiful grin, and then suddenly like a hawk he reached out and slammed the other guy into a table near them. The club grew in a ruckus as they heard the crash, and Subaru was caught by surprise as the man grabbed him and dragged him to the back. "What are you…?" Subaru asked hesitantly, though his arm grew warm where they made contact. The man said nothing, only led him to a room where Subaru saw the biggest bed he had ever seen! It was at least a king sized, with a bunch of petals over the silk sheets and pillows. There were chocolates and other aphrodisiacs scattered around, and it was a very romantic setting. Obviously, one of the customers was planning on getting very physical that day. Glancing around, Subaru saw the man walk to the bed and begin to remove clothing. "Seishirou…" he said, a light blush permeating throughout his features. "What are you doing here? I thought you would be at school?" The other man said nothing, merely looked up. Subaru felt his knees buckle as he stared at him. This was not the teen Seishirou; this was definitely the older one. "Come here Subaru…" the man whispered, reaching out his hand in Subaru's direction. Subaru went willingly.


Taking a break, Seishirou ditched the rest of his class to go up on the roof and smoke a cig. "Is everything all right?" Kanoe asked. She liked him, but was also a really good friend. "Yes, I'm fine" he stated with a grin. Kanoe shook her head, and stole Seishirou's cigarette, taking a drag. "You're thinking about Mira, aren't you?" Seishirou looked at her questioningly, amused. "What!?" Kanoe said with a smile. "You didn't think I could tell the attraction between you two. I could practically see as you mindfucked him." Seishirou smiled. "Of course…you are too good Kanoe." She shook her head. "I just…I just don't want you to get too attached. We're not certain he's going to stay here permanently; though he obviously has some history with you." Seishirou looked down from the roof. "Why would he leave, he has his Seishirou again, right?" Kanoe smirked. "Right"

TBC. Laustic, you're amazing. E-marry me.
