Disclaimer: I so want to own Soubi and Ritsuka, yet I can't. Too bad for me since they belong to Yun Kouga except Reiko and Keiko of course ;)

The Seven Moons
Ritsuka awoke with a start. Something didn't feel right. He turned over. Soubi was gone. He went to the other bedroom. Boundless were gone too. He started to panic.
'Seimei' he whispered accusingly.
He stormed downstairs. He checked the living room, nothing. He checked the kitchen, nothing. The garden, the bathrooms, the dining rooms but still he found noone. This is when he started to panic. Everyone was gone. Why was he the only one left behind? He pulled out his mobile. He dialled Soubi's number and waited. The tone sounded over and over but there was no answer. He tried again, with the same result. Ritsuka was pacing the room. Now he was desperate.
Soubi where are you?
He called. He paced up and down the room. He began to cry and fell to his knees, burrowing his head in his hands.
'SOUBI NO! WHERE ARE YOU? SOOUUBBII'
Ritsuka opened his eyes. Still screaming.
'Ritsuka please calm down.' Soubi reassured him.
'Where am I? What happened?' he asked.
'I think you were having a nightmare.' Soubi assumed, pausing from getting dressed to hug him.
Ritsuka returned the hug. He allowed a few more tears to fall.
'I was afraid I had lost you' He spluttered.
'Oh Ritsuka...' Soubi sighed kissing him. 'That will never happen'
Ritsuka smiled at Soubi. He felt better now.
'Isn't it today we are going to battle against the Seven Moons?' Ritsuka asked.
Soubi was silent.
The Seven Moons...They have caused so much trouble for everyone here
'Yes' he muttered.
He finished getting dressed and left the room. His hair flowing blissfully behind him. Ritsuka's heart skipped a beat. He thought Soubi looked so beautiful. Ritsuka got up and dressed as well. Soubi was dishing up breakfast and drinking a coffee. Everyone else was eating as well.
'Morning Ritsuka-kun' greeted Nisei with a smile.
'Morning brother' Seimei said turning around. He hugged Ritsuka. 'I hope you slept well.'
'Yes I did. But Seimei where are your ears?'
Nisei blushed. Ritsuka saw this reaction and started to giggle.
'I think I know where they have gotten to' he giggled with a wink.
Nisei sighed in relief, he wasn't going to freak out after all. Seimei giggled and smiled back to Ritsuka.
'Sometimes for someone to believe what your saying is true..you have to prove it to them' Seimei whispered in Ritsuka's ears before turning to Nisei and kissing him.
Nisei was shocked but still returned the kiss. Nisei always felt guilty attacking Ritsuka and Soubi, he thought it was wrong to attack a young kid like him. What noone else knew was that Soubi had saved Nisei's life long ago. Nisei kept it secret. Soubi didn't realise this connection.
Its nice not to attack a cute child like Ritsuka and a hero like Soubi. I felt so guilty before and now...we can finally be friends
Nisei smiled widely at his thought. He wonderred if Soubi remembered about rescuing him. He would ask later.
'Getting into the seven moons today won't be easy' Seimei said. 'But I've done it before so I know we can do it.'
A few hours later after the plan was explained, everyone prepared to leave. Soubi was taking Ritsuka and Boundless. Beloved were going to leave first. Seimei would then arrive at the academy first and would begin trying to make entry possible. Hacking into the accounts was easy-he still knew the password. Its after the first two defence systems that it would get difficult. Soubi was still worried it may be dangerous. He drove very slowly. At this rate the journey itself will take all day.
'Driving slower and making the journey longer won't change my mind.' Ritsuka said.
Soubi winced slightly. He had been caught out. He thought that if he drove slower then Ritsuka may realize what he has got himself into and change his mind. It obviously didn't work.
It was almost seven in the evening when they finally arrived. They cautiously approached the academy. Soubi insisted he was first, just in case. Seimei and Nisei had already been at the main entrance. The guards were out cold. Soubi's mobile began to ring. He answered it quickly to stop the ringing.
'Hello?'
'Yes okay we are on our way.'
He put his phone away and turned to the others. They are in the library, Seimei has already disabled all the defence systems and Nisei has knocked out all the guards. It should be safe.' Soubi explained.
They enterred. Ritsuka had never been to the academy before. It looked like a maze of corridors.
How do people find their way around in here?'
'Quickly follow me!'
They began to sprint through endless hallways and turns of every direction. It was almost impossible to keep track where they were. They continued winding through the corridors, coming across many guards that Nisei took care of beforehand.
'Will those guards be ok?'
Ritsuka was always concerned for others.
'Yes they are just knocked out' Soubi replied between breathes.
Soon they reached a large room with double doors. Soubi opened them wide and stepped in. He looked around before walking off to the right. The others followed him. Seimei and Nisei were waiting for them behind a bookshelf.
'Nice to see you finally made it' Nisei said.
Ritsuka looked at Seimei then toward the floor beneath his feet.
'Seimei your hurt' he gasped.
Seimei revealed his hand that was now coverred in a crimson red bandage.
'Some of the electrical systems were a lot more tricky then I expected.'
Ritsuka looked at his brother. His eyes filled with sympathy. He opened his mouth to speak but before he could Seimei screamed out in pain.
'Seimei!' they all called.
Seimei clutched his arms across his chest. He collapsed to his knees in pure agony. Almost moments after whatever was harming Seimei began...it was gone. Seimei stood up again. His arms flopped by his sides. He looked dead ahead, ignoring everyone. His eyes looked almost vacant.
'Seimei, Seimei whats wrong?' Nisei whispered in his ear as he hugged him for comfort.
Seimei immediatly pushed him away.
'Don't touch me!' he ordered. Nisei obeyed.
Last time Seimei shouted at me like that was when...'
Nisei gasped.
'No' he whispered to himself shaking his head in disbelief. You could see tears forming in his eyes.
'Nisei?' Seimei asked.
'Yes Seimei?' he answered.
'It's master to you' He scowled at him.
Nisei bowed his head. What he thought had been confirmed. Seimei raised a finger to point at the others.
'Kill them so I may have my Ritsuka' he ordered.
Everyone gasped.
