At least I post this on Monday! Sorry… I actually wanted to post this earlier, but I had no time till now! Anyways, I hope you will like the chapter!

Kaori and Masamune were…k…i…s…s…i…n…g…KISSING! What the hell was going on? Ritsu dropped his papers and stared at the scene. Noticing Ritsu, Kaori's cheeks flushed and Takano's eyes went huge.

…

WHAT JUST HAPPEN? WILL EVERYTHING BE OKAY WITH RITSU AND MASMUNE!

…

Ritsu could not believe what he saw before his eyes. Masamune and Kaori were kissing… Kaori's arms were swung around Masamune's neck, but let go after Ritsu spotted them. Masamune was still in shock. Ritsu was confused and hurt, but one thing he knew from just being with Masamune was that no matter what Masamune will always be there and stay faithful to him.

And with that thought, Ritsu rushed over to Masamune, wrapped his arms around the taller man's neck and started to kiss him passionately. Instinctively, Masamune wrapped his arms around the younger man's waist and kiss back.

While the two men were making out, Kaori was shell shocked. She could not believe what is seeing. Her "fiancée" is making out with another person, A MAN! She couldn't move from her spot, but just to stare at what was happening before her eyes.

After a few minutes, Masamune and Ritsu pulled apart from each other panting harshly from the long kiss. Ritsu buried his face in Masamune's shoulder and Masamune tighten his hold around his lover. Masamune looked up to see Kaori's reaction.

Kaori could not say anything. No matter how much she wanted to utter a single noise, nothing came out. She was confused, hurt, and completely jealous. Someone was able to steal the heart of the man she loves and that person was Onodera Ritsu. She resented him for that fact, he was the person Masamune's world revolved around.

Looking at her, Masamune said, "Kaori…"

Ritsu lifted his face from Masamune's shoulder to glance at Kaori. Making eye contact with her, the young woman's eyes hardened. She stepped closer to Ritsu, raised her hand, and slapped the emerald-eyed brunette leaving a huge red handprint.

Kaori then yelled, "You bastard! How dare you touch him! He is mine!"

Kaori cold eyes pierced Ritsu's heart. He put his hand to his cheek, but kept silent. It was not because he did not know how to respond, but because he knew he should not for if he did, he would spark the anger to become stronger.

As Masamune was watching the interaction between Kaori and Ritsu, he was terribly angry for Kaori hitting Ritsu, but at the same time guilty for hurting the young woman. He turned his eyes to Ritsu spotted the red handprint and moved his hands to caress the injury in hope to soothe it.

Kaori could not stand to see the sight of the two. She exclaimed to Ritsu, "I HATE YOU! You gave me advice, but then steal the man I love! You are such a whore!"

Upon her yelling this, many arrived at the sight of the scene. All the parents came from the garden, the four young men, though Kisa and Yukina had an ominous air around them, the four girls, and lastly Sayuri who came running to the scene. No one said a single world and just watched was happening.

Hearing Kaori call Ritsu such a word, angered Masamune immensely. He let go of his grip around Ritsu and stepped towards Kaori and slapped her hard, even harder than she did to Ritsu. The sound at the contact of the slap resonated through the halls to be heard.

Then Masamune yelled, "SHUT UP! How dare you call Ritsu such a word! I don't care how angry or upset you are, you do not have the right to yell at Ritsu and call him such a word!"

Masamune looked like he was ready to hit Kaori again, but Ritsu stopped him before he could do anything. Ritsu just looked Masamune in the eye to tell him to stop and control his rage.

Kaori was starting to resent Ritsu more and more by the second. She grabbed Masamune's arm and cried in desperation, "Masamune-kun! Masamune-kun! Ritsu-kun just manipulated you! Don't listen to him! He will only ruin you! No one will accept your relationship! Look *pointing towards the audience the three had attracted* they will never approve of your two relationship. Masamune-kun! I love you! Love me back!"

Masamune just pulled himself out of Kaori's grip and turned to Ritsu to once again wrap his arms around his angel. He hated hearing those words. He never wanted people to say that their relationship would not work out. Those were the words he despised.

Ritsu relaxed himself in Masamune's arms. He was also upset to hear Kaori say that. Why couldn't she just keep her mouth shut! She was the one who was making everything complicated!

Finally, everyone stepped forward to the scene. Kaori immediately ran over to Mizuki and Hikaru to ask for help, but the two did not respond. Seeing her son so distressed and upset, Kiyomi said in a strict tone, "Please be quiet!"

Everyone was shocked to hear the woman who is always calm and collected to speak in such a voice. Everyone just stared at her as she continued to speak.

"Everyone please disperse. We will deal with this situation in the following morning as everyone is tired. I expect to be listening and not to be disobeyed. Everyone, get going."

Upon hearing this, all the parents went back to the garden to talk. Kaori ran back to her room. Sayuri was also not in the greatest of moods, so she walked away. Kisa, Yukina, Chiaki, and Hatori went back to their rooms as seeing they should the leave Masamune and Ritsu alone, so the two could talk. The four girls are worried, but also leave, so the two can talk alone.

Masamune keeps on holding to Ritsu, but then let go only to grasp Ritsu's hand, so they may head back to Ritsu's bedroom.

As the two enter to the room and settle on Ritsu's bed, the lovers just stare at each other in silence.

Masamune decided to break the silence by putting hand to touch Ritsu's cheek and asked, "Does it hurt?"

Ritsu shook his head in response. The brunette just snuggled himself against Masamune's warmth.

Masamune asked, "You know I would never cheat on you, right?"

Ritsu looked at Masamune with a gentle expression and said softly, "I know. I trust you. Can you tell me what happened?"

Masamune sighed and replied, "I was walking to your room to find you, hoping you would be done with your duties. As I was walking there, I saw Kaori. As I passed her, I gave her a smile to say hi, but then she stopped me. She wrapped her arms around my neck and then kissed me suddenly; I did not know how to respond. I was in complete shock. When I was about to push her away, you arrived there."

Ritsu smiled at him and whispered, "I love you…"

Masamune brought his face to Ritsu's and also said, "I love you too…" before kissing Ritsu passionately, which led to rounds and rounds of love-making. As the two lovers made love, the words "I love you" and "You're mine" could be heard.

After the two were done, they laid in each other's arms.

Masamune said, "I love you and only you. Remember that… I only want you. You are forever mine and I am forever yours"

Ritsu smiled and said, "I know… I will always be yours and I will always love you, Masamune."

Masamune gave his angel another passionate kiss.

Pulling apart their lips apart, Masamune wrapped his arms tighter around Ritsu. Ritsu cuddled closer to Masamune and the two lovers fell into a deep sleep.

…

Waking up from the peaceful sleep, Ritsu gave a soft yawn and tried to stretch a bit, though it was hard after all he was strapped under Masamune's arm. He looked up at Masamune to see the man he loved in sleeping serenely. He lifted up his hands and stroke Masamune's face and murmured softly, "You are the only one for me." Ritsu then gave a slight peck onto Masamune's lip, but then was pulled into a rougher kiss, which Ritsu immediately responded to. Breaking apart, Ritsu stared into Masamune's eyes, which were also looking back at him with intensity. A few minutes of staring at each other, Masamune broke the trance between each other and said, "Ritsu…"

Ritsu asked, "Yes?"

Masamune responded, "Nothing… I just wanted to hear you say my name. I want to hear it"

Complying with the request, Ritsu said, "Masamune…"

Masamune nuzzled into Ritsu and said, "You smell sweet…"

Ritsu flushed at the comment, but said nothing.

The two said nothing to each, but stayed silent, just feeling each other's presence, until a knock on the door broke the trance and the servant said, "Ritsu-sama, it is time to get up. Breakfast will be in 30 minutes."

"L-let get ready for breakfast," Ritsu stuttered.

Masamune responded, "Okay, but first…" Masamune kissed Ritsu full on the lips and lifted the brunette into his arms to the shower to have some "fun."

Arriving at breakfast, almost everyone was there except for Kaori, for obvious reasons.

Sitting down at the table, everyone was basically silent. Later Kaori walked into the room and sat down onto her seat without saying a single word. Nobody had really anything to say anyways.

After breakfast, before anyone could leave, Atushi said, "Why don't all of us go to a room and talk?" Arising from his chair, everyone followed.

Settling down in the room, nobody wanted to say anything for it could break out into a potential argument.

Finally Mizuki asked, "What happened yesterday before we arrived at the scene?"

Masamune, Ritsu, and Kaori did not want to start.

Hikaru sighed and said, "Masamune…, please tell us."

Masamune sighed and responded, "I was looking for Ritsu, so I thought I would go to his room. On the way, I saw Kaori and I smiled at her, but then she grabbed, wrapped her arms around my neck and then crushed her lips onto me. When I was going to push her away, Ritsu came around the corner and saw us. Then she pulled away because she was embarrassed while I was shock. Ritsu came up to me and kissed me. After that, that is when all the yelling started. Kaori started to say horrendous things to Ritsu and slapped him. I am pretty sure you heard one of the words. Then Kiyomi-san stopped it. That is what happened."

Kaori yelled, "I had every right to say what I said! He *pointing at Ritsu* manipulated the man I love into loving him. Ritsu-kun is just playing him! He seduced the man I love! Please do something, Mizuki-san, Hikaru-san!"

As Kaori was yelling, Masamune wrapped his arms around Ritsu to comfort him. To let the one he loves know all the accusations Kaori was making were false and he should not listen to it.

Mizuki just sighed and said, "Kaori, Ritsu-kun did nothing wrong…"

Kaori exclaimed, "How could he done nothing wrong? Are you not surprised about there relationship?"

Silence threaded the room. Everyone knew about the relationship, except for Kaori and Sayuri.

Kiyomi said, "We are sorry. We have known about Ritsu and Masamune-kun for sometime. We have kept it from you and Sayuri-san for we thought it would be the best."

Kaori was certainly surprised at that, while Sayuri could care any less.

Kaori was clearly upset when she said, "Your majesties how are you alright with your sons in a relationship with each other? What about the future of the two kingdoms?"

Atushi said, "We have already discussed and decided on what to do about that situation."

Kaori said, "Even so I will not give up the fact I love Masamune and will not give him up. Your majesties, will you not support me, after all you ask me to be his fiancée?"

Mizuki and Hikaru had nothing to say to that for they knew she was right, after all they were ones who asked Kaori to be Masamune's fiancée.

An-chan could not stand see what was happening. Kaori was ruining everything and she would not let anything happen. An-chan said in a stern voice, "Kaori-chan, can you just be quiet? If you really loved Takano-san, then you want what will make Takano-san happy. Even if it hurts, you would do it. It hurt to give up Ricchan, but I knew it would be better. Ricchan was meant to be with Takano-san and I am meant to be with somebody else. That is what I learn from this. Love is hard and it hurts. If you really love Takano-san, then let him be with the one he loves, Ricchan."

Everyone was shocked to see An-chan say this speech. She was always calm and was never the type of person who speaks in the voice she just did. She was cheerful and happy. At times she could get sad and cry, but she would never yell or get extremely angry. This was certainly the first.

Kaori did not know how to respond to this. She was confused. She loved Masamune, right? Maybe she didn't… All she could stutter out was, "I-I-I don't know…"

Chinatsu said, "Saito-san… I think maybe you love Takano-san was because you were finally found someone that met your standards and that was it. Not because of who he is, but what you thought if him to be. Or maybe you it is because you are desperate for love and since you were engaged to somebody, you thought Takano-san would instantly love you, just because, just because."

Kaori sat and thought about what everyone said. Her conclusion was…

Cliff Hanger! Kay, let me just say this, this was actually was going to be longer, but then I realized if I did, I would not know what to put in the next chapter. Sorry! Please give me some ideas, to write about! I seriously need some because I think after this incident I might end the story or I might add in Yuu, Yokozawa, and Kirishima into the story, but I don't know, so please give me feedback! I will try my best to update as fast as I can. Please Review! Loves and Kisses!
