Endless Road of Our Path

Chapter 10.// Sweet Mother

"Eh? Who's Soubi? I would like to speak to you about your…mother." The man said. Ritsuka was speechless.

"What happened to her?" Ritsuka stuttered out.

"She has now gotten better. We are going to release her for this weekend. She wants to see you." The doctor said. Ritsuka realized something. Maybe Misaki knows about…Soubi. Who could have told her?

"Your address please?" he asked.

"Uh..okay." Ritsuka mumbled. All of this was flashing in front of him. So fast. Was this a dream? Or reality? He kept asking those questions. After he hung up, he sat in the dark of his kitchen thinking. Thinking if his mother knew. Thinking his mother would snap(again). What is Soubi going to think? Suddenly the light turned on, Ritsuka winced at the sudden brightness.

"Can you get any more depressing?" Soubi chuckled. Ritsuka did not say anything.

"Ritsuka. What's wrong?!" Soubi asked in alarm.

"How can this happen? How? Goddamnit. My mother is going to be released tomorrow, Soubi." Ritsuka yelled practically to himself.

"What!?" Soubi got up and sat next to Ritsuka. An eerie silence overcame them. They jumped as they heard the phone ring. No one went up to get it.

"Ne, Loveless-kun. It's Natsuo and Youji. Answer the phone! Oh well. Oh here comes Kio! Bye Loveless-kun! Sou-chan." The male Zeros laughed as they heard Kio yell that he was the only one who calls Soubi that terrible, but cute, nickname. The fighter and sacrifice cringed at their nicknames. In a sudden swift move, Soubi was pinning Ritsuka to the floor. They kissed. They hugged.

"I love you so much Ritsuka. You have no idea." Soubi mumbled into Ritsuka's hair.

"I love you, too. Nothing can tear us apart. Nothing." Ritsuka replied.

"Ritsuka!" Misaki yelled as she ran to her son. She threw her arms around him, finding no ears.

"Ritsuka. Your ears! They're…" Misaki trailed off.

"Gone. See what you miss when you go crazy?" Ritsuka finished coldy. A flaxen-haired man appeared and took Ritsuka in his arms.

"Ritsuka. You can't speak like that to your mother." Soubi smiled. Misaki gasped at this man's actions toward Ritsuka.
