All Ikki-kun wanted to do was get home, to his dorm, and pray that Tokiya hasn't done anything to Otoya.

As soon as they arrived at the academy, and gotten out the vehicles, he made a mad dash towards the dorms. He heard some of the STARISH members yell after him, to be careful in case he tripped. Some yelled to ask where he was going. He didn't reply to any of them, and kept running. He didn't even know why he was so worried, was he afraid that Otoya was finally taken, and by his moral enemy? As much as he wanted to believe it, he knew that wasn't the reason. He glanced up at the sky, it was extremely dark already, probably around 10pm.

He dashed into the indoor halls. All feelings for Otoya pushed aside, he still hoped Tokiya didn't do anything with his original. He wouldn't be able to look at both of them the same anymore. Besides, he doesn't like the idea of Tokiya taking advantage of his innocent and naïve Oto-kun. No one was in the halls, as expected since it's pretty late. He almost went past the door, in his rush. After taking a deep breath, and sighing afterwards, he slowly and quietly opened the door.

Ikki sighed in slight relief, seeing his two room mates were asleep in different beds. But that doesn't prove anything. Keeping the lights off, he approached his and Otoya's bed, where the owner was sleeping peacefully. He watched the other sleep for a moment, hoping he wouldn't wake the other. He moved the blanket down slowly, to reveal the red heads' upper half. He had a shirt on. Good. But... Ikki-kun looked at the others' face, before moving tthe collar of the shirt down slightly. He stared in shock, as he saw bite marks everywhere. The neck, collar bone, shoulders.

Ikki let the shirt go, and moved the blanket down further. He was beginning to be inpatient, but in a cautious way. He had really hoped Otoya wasn't taken advantage of.

He noticed the other was wearing shorts, ones he wasn't wearing earlier today. He didn't even need to move the shorts at all, as he saw the edge of a few bruises on his originals' hips. He knew not to jump to conclusions, but it was completely obvious! Tokiya had taken Otoyas innocents!

Ikki gently moved the blanket back up to cover Otoya, and surprisingly, he didn't feel any emotion. He should feel upset, or angry. But he couldn't

He guessed he was in those moments where you're so shaken up, you can't feel anything. Though he thought that mostly happened with fear. Turning around, he glared at Tokiya, who was fast asleep on his bed. He did this. He took his poor Otoya's innocents. Not only that, he lost to a liar like Tokiya. He didn't know what had gotten into him when he stalked off into the kitchen. He looked for something. The knife that he had when he first met Tokiya. He should of gotten rid of him earlier, even if back then he thought he was a thief or unknown man.

While through his rummaging, he didn't hear the door open quietly. Someone stepped inside, with silent footsteps. The figure moved across the room, as if he knew it well, of all the junk that would litter the floor. The intruder stood at the edge of Tokiya's bed, of the long side, but was hidden in complete darkness. It waited... Silently...

Ikki-kun didn't know what he was thinking- no, he wasn't even thinking at all. With the knife, in a tight grip in his hand, he walked out the kitchen. He didn't even notice the intruder by the bed, since it was completely hidden. Ikki stood by the bed, staring down at Tokiya. He held the same emotionless face as Tokiya always wore. Something he always hated about the navy haired male. He always kept all his thoughts and feelings hidden, and try to act cool off of it.

But as the weapon was raised... He couldn't do it. How would Otoya think of him? He would become a murderer, and prove to be the bad guy that everyone thought he was in the beginning. Of all things, even more the to be with Otoya, was that he wanted to be accepted. As who he is. Just as he was about to bring down the knife, not to bring the finishing blow to Tokiya, but to refrain from doing so, a hand gripped his wrist. In shock, Ikki looked over. Even in the intense dark, he could see the perfectly clear, and beautiful blue eyes. Or maybe it was teal? Or turquoise?

He didn't give it much thought, as the stranger spoke with a calm voice, but with a hint of a threat "You might want to think twice about what you're wanting to do" The other whispered lightly, not to awake the room mates. Ikki just tried jerking his hand away, and succeed, but the stranger had taken the knife out of his before he did so. Ikki-kun's eyes widen, as the knife was pointed his way, but it gave no threat. Still, he couldn't help but give a growl.

"Please, don't make this hard on me, I don't wish to hurt you. I'm just taking you back to Father" The figure said, his mysterious blue eyes watching Ikki's movements.

"Like hell I'm going with you" Ikki barked quietly, glaring at the other. Though he was confused of what the other was saying. Taking him back? Back to where? For the days he has been alive, all he knows is that he had awoken in some place, and that some place was Otoya's dorm. He didn't remember of any other place. The figure held back a sigh, putting the knife down on Tokiya's desk. "If they already named you, can you tell me your name?" He had aasked, politely.

Ikki's growl had ceased lightly, when the weapon was put down, but he kept his glare. "Why should I tell you?"

"You can trust me, besides I don't even think I can hurt you"

"Is that so?"

"Yes, now, name?"

"..." He didn't want to reply, but he didn't see any reason not to "...Ikki-kun, they named me Ikki-kun"

Ikki heard a light 'hmm' from the stranger. It was silent for a minute or so, neither knowing what to say or do. Actually, something's' been bothering him ever since this figure spoke. "Say, I gave you my name, what,s yours? And come out of the shadows, I want to see your face"

"I'm surprised you don't remember me, Ikki, despite of your fantastic memory" The figure spoke, still not moving or giving Ikki an answer.

"How do you know that?"

"You would know, if you remembered me"

"I'm sorry, but I don't know you, I don't think I ever met you. Besides if you keep hiding I'll never know"

"..." Silence on the other end. He heard a little sound of rummaging clothes, like someone was searching their pocket for something. "...Well, I'm sorry Ikki, but I must take you back anyway. Maybe you'll remember me if you came home"

"Huh?...!" Ikki jumped in surprise, and held back a yelp of pain when something punctured his side. It wasn't the knife, less painful but thinner. He looked down and saw a pale hand clasping onto a needle, that stuck into his side. He tried snarling, but he lost his energy suddenly. He tried to look up at the intruder, only to see blurrs of white and blue. He despretely tried clinging to the person, onto his consiousness. But it slipped between his fingers, and he fell to the floor, completely out. But the small arms of the stranger caught the boy, and held him up. He only had enough strength to maybe carry the teen to the door.

Deciding to do just that, he picked up Ikki-kun, onto his back to hopefully save energy and time. He made it out the door, and already saw the lights were out, signalling sleeping time. It didn't matter, as his piercing blue eyes caught a man standing at the end of the hall. He quickly made his way over, not sure how long his small body can carry the red head. The man waiting seemed to notice the struggling boy, and went over quickly to help. The man was pretty tall, had simple brown hair, and glasses. He looked somewhat old to, but only to some.

He lifted the replica off the blue-eyed strangers back, and held him bridal style. The man could see the features on Ikki's face, exactly like Otoya's.

"Sorry I couldn't carry him, Father" A voice interuptted the man's thoughts, as he looked towards the owner of the light voice,

"It's alright, I'm glad you could get him, but I'm shamed he had to take the shot. He still hasn't gotten over his stubbornness, has he?" The man asked, chuckling lightly.

"He wasn't as rude as before, but still stubborn" The other agreed, before looking back at the sleeping Ikki-kun. It kind of hurt him that the red head didn't remember him, but he didn't show it.

"Father, how come Ikki didn't recognize me?" He continued, looking up at his father. The strangers' father had begun walking with Ikki, but hadn't ignored his son. "Ikki is what they named him? Huh. Well, he probably didn't remember because I stored his memory away, of the times we all had, so he wouldn't remember us, and try to live normally"

"Like a memory chip?" The blue eyed son asked, as he walked outside with his father.

"Exactly, but now we gave him a month to live normally. It only took so long for him to be broken, huh?" The father asked, looking back at his son.

He nodded his head in return, looking at the red head again. They had gotten information from Shining, since after all, the man's son was apart of a group that is partnered with Shining. Plus, the man was the father of not only the idol, but also Ikki.

Well, creator, but he perfered father.

If someone was to ask how Ikki-kun could still have feelings, bleed, and cry like a normal human, yet be 'created' the man would always answer it this way.

At the beginning of the year, when a certain red head joined Shining' academy, somehow he was chosen to be the lucky and/or unlucky subject for this mans' project. Some adressed him as Professer, while only one can call him father. He owned a lab, where he would conduct experiments. Good experiments, he wasn't one of those evil scientists. He was studying on how to help living things heal faster, or how to get them to lose weight, how to grow hair, everything that comes to mind. Even random things.

But that day, he had asked Shining to get any kind of DNA from any student he received. The head master had of course granted him permission, after about a few days of convincing. Somehow, the red head known as Otoya was chosen. Shining had gotten only some of the DNA, through blood. Probably through a fake blood test in the school. After that, the Professer had wanted to become the first one to make a clone of an upcoming idol. He had heard from Shining that the boys' singing was beautiful, and he wanted to see if he could make a copy.

But for good purposes.

He had used the blood, but it turned out not to be enough. He knew it would happen though, and he was prepared. He already had animals in his lab, so he'd use the blood he already collected from those. He used feline and canine blood, from several animals. Of course, he had taken out some of the sediments, so his replica shouldn't end up growing animal ears and a tail. He wanted him to be normal as possible, a clone of Otoya.

It took around 8 months for the whole body to form, and there was Ikki-kun. He was an exact copy of Otoya, but the Professer wasn't finished yet. He needed to add all the knowledge he should have for his age, but of course he couldn't get memories. The boy would have to make ones of his own.

All through the months of the forming and installing knowledge, a certain son helped him the whole time.

His son, named Mikaze Ai.

He always helped with his father, with in the lab. He wasn't against any of it, since he knew it was for humanity, but he always felt sorry for the locked up creatures. Ai doesn't look anything like his father, but he did take after his mother after all. Who had died at child birth. He never even had a chance to see her, besides the pictures his father had.

So when he heard that his father was making a real life clone of an idol, he couldn't help but to be excited, but he his it. This clone wouldn't be a robot, but instead live flesh. So that's why it took almost a year to form. He was lucky it didn't take several,. When the copy was finished, after it took 9 months, he taught it as if it was his child. Of course he had the knowledge and looks of a teenager, but when he first stood... He still needed help.

For two months, the Professer and Ai had taught the boy the basics. Since he already knew knowledge, they taught him how to walk first. He got that fast, since somehow he became a fast learner. They taught him to write, even though he knew words, their definitions, and how to spell them. They couldn't teach him feelings though, but they knew he already picked them up on the way.

All through out the two months, when Ai helped, he couldn't shake off this feeling he had for the red head. Every time the red head got excited over something new, every time he became stubborn to certain foods or Activities, how he would always give perfect barks or meows to the animals in the lab. As much as he tried denying it, that it was just family love, he had fallen in love with this replica.

He never thought it was weird that the red head would sometimes copy the animals whines, mewls, whimpers, hisses, growls, snarls, meows, or barks. How the other would forget how to walk for a few minutes, and then remember how. Soon he got used to it though. He fell in love with all of it. Every detail about him. Even his stubbornness.

He had heard that his father was going to let his creation go, to live a month out in the real world, with Otoya. If the red head accepted him. If it was successful, he would stay with Otoya. If he got hurt, or anything over that month, he'd come back to Ai and the Professer.

So when the month finished, and Shinning gave the news, he knew he had to keep his promise, and take his creation back. Of course he wanted him to live in the real world, and if he still wanted to, he still can. With Ai.

Ai had to snap his father out of his thoughts, when the two were facing the head master. The Professer shook his head lightly, before smiling at Shining. "Before you say anything, I am not keeping him locked away in my lab. I will let him come back, with Ai... But in a few months, when Otoya and STARISH move on to the master course"

Ai stayed silent beside his father, but he wondered how he knew they'd make it to the masters' course. He had confidence in them too, but he wasn't so certain. Shining shown no emotion, on his face or in his voice "Of course, you're keeping your promise. I expect him to come back with Ai when STARISH goes to the master course." Just when the Father and Son were about to turn to leave, the head master stopped them by continuing

"But listen to me when I say this, I think you should let Ikki-kun keep his memories of STARISH, and his time here" The Professer nodded, looking at Ai. "Do you have any questions, Ai?"

"...how did you get information on Ikki-kun, anyway?"

"I can see what everyones' doing all the time. The reason I never stopped anything when something happened between the three room mates, was because, if it was sexual, it didn't harm my No Love Rule, since it involves two males and not a normal relationship, of a female and male.

And if a fight happened, which was only once, I didn't stop that either, so I apologize, buti'm sure Ikki-kun didn't really get hurt"

Both males winced lightly when they heard that sexual and physical things happened to their poor creation. The Professer would check it out when they got home. He'd also unlock Ikki's memories of them, too. "Is that all, sir?" The Professer asked, looking down at the red head still asleep in his arms. Shining nodded, gave a 'farewell' and left. The professer looked at Ai, smiling lightly "Let's go home, and see if Ikki here is alright"

With a nod from the tealette, they made their way home.

Otoya woke up, from a feeling of something pressing against his lips. When he opened his eyes, he saw blue ones staring right back at him. His cheeks became red in realization, as he gently pushed Tokiya away "n-not SL early in the morning, Tokiya" The navy blue male just gave him a rare, small smile. "Sorry, you just look cute when you sleep" Otoya became a darker shade of red, as he pushed the taller male off his bed "Quiet you!" He yelled, in an embarrassed voice.

Tokiya's face became serious all of a sudden, as he looked at Otoya. The red head noticed, and kept quiet. Was Tokiya mad he yelled at him? "Otoya, do you know why I found a knife one my desk this morning?" He also noticed that Ikki-kun was gone, but he didn't care, really. He hoped Otoya wouldn't notice, and would just forget the boy. Otoya blinked, hearing the word knife, then shook his head. "I was asleep all night, and I never woke up to anything either"

Tokiya closed his eyes, thinking. Was Ikki-kun related to it? Well, when he first met him, he seemed accustomed to knives...

Suddenly Otoya looked around, before at Tokiya "Where's Ikki-kun?" Damn. He remembered that weak brat. The one that dared share the same face as his love.

"I don't know, perhaps with one of the other members of STARISH?" He suggested, honestly. He didn't think Ikki-kun would be the type to run away, or disappear without a purpose. Maybe he was outside already? He wasn't in the dorm, since Tokiya didn't see him anywhere inside when he woke up. Otoya looked down sadly, before moving to the edge of the bed. When he tried to stand, he wobbled, and fell, but Tokiya caught him.

"Sorry, I must've been rough on you. Sorry" Tokiya apologized, but inwardly he was smirking. He was truly sorry, but this proved that he had really made Otoya his last night. Otoya shook his head "It's okay, Tokiya. I'm fine anyway" He claimed, before standing on his own. He had a slight limp and still wobbled a little, but he could walk.

After Tokiya's help with getting dressed, with the right attire to cover up the bites and bruises from their 'fun' last night, Otoya forced Tokiya to go to the dorms of the other STARISH members, to find Ikki. Tokiya sighed, but came along anyway.

After searching everyone's' dorms, hearing that Ikki was missing, they all split up to find him. Syo and Natsuki looked outside, and near the lake for him. Ren and Masato looked in the halls, indoor and outdoor, east side and west side. Tokiya and Otoya searched from their dorm again, to the recording room, and to their meeting room. They all made an agreement that they'd meet up at the meeting room when they were done looking.

They waited for about 10 minutes, before everyone had returned. Syo and Natsuki returned with Nanami, but not Ikki-kun. They felt she should know too. Otoya had high hopes, that someone would find him, but they were crushed when no one came with his clone. Everyone stated they haven't found him anywhere, and started suggesting his reasons of leaving.

"Maybe he hated being the shadow of STARISH?"

"He probably.y didn't like never getting attention"

"As stubborn as he is, he isn't the attention type person"

"Perhaps something happened with him and Otoya?"

Everyone stopped, then looked at the original. He just shook his head, and looked on the verge of tears. "I didn't do anything! I'm sure I didn't at least..." As much as Tokiya hated Ikki, he hated seeing Otoya upset. He sighed lightly, turning Otoya's head to look at him. "Look, he probably went out somewhere, and will come back later. We could be worrying for nothing. He might be doing errands or something" Tokiya suggested, as he looked at Otoya, and then his group members.

They all nodded, agreeing. They'd wait for Ikki-kun, and hoped the boy would return soon.

Tadaaaaaa, We learned Ikki's past! Finally! But in a tragety like way D:

I don't,t own Uta No Prince Sama

And let's see what STARISH, the Professer, Ai, andIkki-kun with do :3
