Author's Note: I've been feeling creative lately.
Ritsuka
I stayed in bed late the next day. I was happy, but sore. I'd never been able to ask anyone about these sorts of things. Soubi wasn't in the room. It made me a little nervous, but at the same time no one knew where we were. I felt bad. Especially concerning my friends and Soubi's friends. They were all such great people. I knew what we needed to do though and there was no use dragging anyone else into it.
I looked in the mirror. I felt like part of myself was missing. My hair was sticking up at every angle...but there were no ears. I looked closely at myself. I still looked the same just with the one childish part of me gone. My balance was thrown off without my tail. I knew this was going to take some getting used to. Soubi's shirt was on the ground. I crouched down and hugged it close. I never knew he could be so gentle, even though Soubi was never a very harsh person. I could still feel his fingers delicately tracing patterns on my back as I fell asleep.
I opened the curtains and leaned outside the window taking a deep breath. The air was fresh. The sun was shining...and I was nowhere near Seimei.
Seimei
I walked around the park. I'd made a grave mistake. I kicked a rock across the ground cursing my stupidity. I'd gotten to comfortable. Ritsuka would never know that I could get into that apartment whenever I pleased. The time had come for me to take him...but when I entered they were gone. It was because I'd gotten lazy...because I hadn't driven enough fear into him.
