Sorry everyone that it seriously took me the last three days to upload a chapter nowadays. Writers block has assaulted me hard! But here is this one on time! Whooo! XD
I think next chapter is the last…I hope….maybe….yeah I don't think so. XD
Enjoy! Much love!
Ritsu blinked at himself. He was no longer a child but a grown man. He wore his black cassock uniform and a small black coat to fight against the chilly night air. Ritsu took in his surroundings, night had fallen and the Church was eerily quiet tonight.
Why did I come outside again? Confusion followed, he didn't go outside that day, he went into the kitchen, and was greeted with the priest's wife. After helping her bake some cookies the priest came in to surprised him by telling Ritsu that they had adopted him.
Ritsu smiled at the memory. At first he wasn't completely on board with the idea given the fact that that meant he was replacing his parents but they assured him that they could never do that, they had hoped they could be like family.
Ritsu chuckled, to them it meant putting your arms around each other and being there, laughing and talking together, loving and understanding each other. It was a bond of respect and joy in each other's life. He was forever grateful to them for loving a broken boy like him.
He'd soon forgotten the voice he heard earlier and was about to head back into the Church when Ritsu heard a grunt behind him and turned to see a man sitting next to the Church in the shadows. Concerned, Ritsu went to him.
"Are you alright?" Ritsu asked, he crouched down in front of him. The man was dressed in black, a long coat covering his large frame, and the hoodie covered most of his face. The man's head moved slightly at his voice but not enough to where Ritsu could see the face.
Ritsu leaned closer to the man, his hand reaching for his shoulder.
That's when the guy suddenly jumped toward him.
Ha!?
Ritsu gasped as the man loomed over him, Ritsu could feel the cold hard ground on his back and the startling warmth from him. The man removed his hood and looked down at Ritsu.
Ritsu gaped at him, he was gorgeous, his eyes a startling gold, jet black hair, and strong cheek bones. He had a muscular frame indicating that he worked out, and the grip he had on his arms was crushing. He reminded Ritsu of a movie star or a male model he read so much in those magazines.
Ritsu frowned; the man looked to be in shock. But why?
Ritsu smiled shyly, reassuringly, and slowly got up making the man ease off of him. "Don't worry, I won't hurt you, I'm a priest from this church."
The man turned his head to the church; it seemed he didn't even know he was leaning against the building.
Ritsu's eyesight got better in the dark and he gasped at the blood marrying his face. "My God, are you alright?" Ritsu automatically moved in to cup his cheeks. He was so cold! He had to warm him up. Ritsu took off his coat and wrapped it around him. "Wrap this around yourself for the time being. Stay here ok? I'm going to get help and treat your wounds." Ritsu stood up and made his way over to the Church-
The man grabbed his hand. "Don't leave me, Ritsu."
Ritsu froze at the voice. It was the same…
"Ritsu…" He called again.
Ritsu turned to see Takano standing up, his eyes burning with yearning.
"Masamune?" The name came out without thought, he knew this man, whether by memory, body, or soul, he knew this man.
Takano smiled. "Where do you think you're going?"
"Getting help," Ritsu said slowly. How did he know his name? How did he know who he was?
"Ritsu? Where are you?" Ritsu turned in the direction of the front Church where his foster family was looking for him.
Ritsu looked back at Takano whose hand still held tightly on his. "Would you leave me?" Takano asked.
Ritsu hesitated. Leave him? The idea seemed abhorrent to him.
"Ritsu!?" Ritsu looked back at the priest's voice.
Takano came closer to him, he didn't say anything. He waited for Ritsu to answer.
"Can't I have you both?" Ritsu asked turning back to him.
Takano shook his head sadly. "I'm so sorry Ritsu." Takano brought his hand to his lips. "I was stupid; I took everything away from you. And still I ask more." Takano laughed in self-mockery. "Once you come with me you can't go back."
"Masamune…" Why was this familiar? He said those words before.
"Ritsu!" Ritsu turned to the priest's frightened voice. They watched Takano warily, fear for him evident in their eyes. "Get away from him Ritsu! He's a monster!"
"No he's not!" Ritsu tried to explain but they didn't listen. They only saw a monster beside him instead of the kind man he truly is. Takano didn't say anything about the intrusion; his eyes were still solely on Ritsu.
"Ritsu, quickly, get over here." The priest said.
Ritsu looked at them.
Takano let his hand go taking all the warmth away with him.
Ritsu looked back at Takano. He was gone! "Masamune!?" Where did he go? Why did he leave him? Didn't he say he was never going to leave him!? Desperate, Ritsu looked at the forest ahead of him.
"Ritsu what are you waiting for? Quickly come here before he comes back."
Ritsu looked at his foster parents.
"I'm sorry…" He whispered.
"Ritsu!" Both of them screamed for him.
He forced himself to ignore them, forced his legs to move, he felt a strong scene that Takano was in trouble, he had to be there for him. Ritsu ran into the forest.
He had to find Masamune!
A sharp pain lanced through Ritsu's head, memories started bombarding him like a freight train. He clutched his head hard. His head started to hurt so badly. "Masamune?" Ritsu called out looking deeper into the dark forest. Where did he go?
The pain started to worsen and Ritsu had to stop and hunch over. He couldn't let this stop him. He had to find Masamune. Ritsu leaned against a tree as his legs started to shake.
Ritsu shut his eyes, memories playing behind his lids, and let out his first scream as Vampires attacked him, grabbing him and Misaki to a place unknown.
Ritsu opened his eyes to the forest once again trying to look for any sign of…of…
He shut his eyes again against the pain; he was tied on a chair this time, figures he couldn't see cutting him, putting knifes into his stomach.
He lost control, lost his mind, lost all his memories.
He had to get back to…
"Ritsu…"
Masamune…
-Takano
Takano glared at the two men waiting by the door way where only moments ago the butler went to alert Ryuki and Takeshi that they were here. The two guards stood their ground making sure that he and Chiaki wouldn't follow the butler.
They had arrived in England and immediately went to this grand estate where the butler had guided them to the drawing room. He and Chiaki were waiting for thirty minutes already and still they have not yet returned. The more he waited in this confined room the more terrified he became. What if they already killed Ritsu while he was here waiting for those bastards?
Takano gritted his teeth. He had to wait either way; these guys were not to be messed with. Right now he didn't have the strength to fight them, neither could Chiaki.
Ryuki came in running, his frantic eyes landing on him. "There you are, follow me quickly."
Takano and Chiaki ran with him to a long hallway filled with many expensive paintings until they reached the end of the hall where only one door waited for them.
They entered the room. Takano sighed in relief to see Ritsu calmly sleeping on the bed.
"He suddenly knocked out. I guess he had a panic attack or something."
Takano scowled at them, they must have scared him to death. Takano was really uncomfortable to see Suoh quietly waiting in the corner of the room, his piercing green eyes glaring at them all. What was going on?
"Ritsu?" He went over to him. Ritsu was deadly still, if it wasn't for his moving chest Takano would have thought that Ritsu was dead. "Ritsu?" Takano called again going closer to the bed. Ritsu didn't stir.
"Did he regain his memory?" Chiaki asked them.
"I don't know exactly. He did yell your name, Takano, so maybe."
Takano looked at them surprised. "He did?"
Ryuki nodded "After Suoh came in here he started to freak out, started to remember and then he yelled out in pain, maybe because of his memories, that's when he called for you."
Takeshi frowned at Takano. "What is he to you?"
"He's my lover." Takano boldly announces.
Takeshi and Ryuki froze in shock.
-Hell no!
-There is no way in hell we're letting Ritsu go out with a man like you!
-I'm going to kill this motherfucker!
-Count me in!
Takano rolled his eyes as they started yelling at him in one. "Why the fuck do you two care? You're not his guardians."
Ryuki was about to retort when Suoh came up to them.
"Takeshi, Ryuki, what the fuck is going on? You have yet to answer me!?"
"Suoh, Ritsu is-" Ryuki turned to Suoh.
Takano reached for Ritsu. "Ritsu? Love can you hear me?"
Ritsu twitched.
"He's responding," Takeshi said bringing Ryuki and Suoh out of their conversation.
"Ritsu? It's me,"
Ritsu groaned. "M-ma…sam…une…"
Takano smiled. "I'm here, I'll always be here." Takano leaned down closer to his face, "Open your eyes for me…Let me see those beautiful emerald eyes."
Ritsu didn't respond for a while, making Takano grow alarmed until Ritsu rasped, "Thirsty."
Takano sighed in relief. Using his fang, he pierced his tongue and drew down to Ritsu's lips. "Part your lips." Takano whispered softly.
Ritsu did and Takano swooped down, claiming those soft lips, the merest contact rocked him, making Ritsu moaned. Rich blood streamed between their tongues making both men wishing they were by themselves and Ritsu free of those chains.
Takano didn't let up, he slipped his tongue into his mouth, and Ritsu met it with his own, with slow, wicked laps that made Takano inhale sharply to groan. Takano kissed Ritsu until they were both breathing for each other.
Takano heard a soft 'ahem' behind him signaling that they still had an audience.
Takano tenderly licked Ritsu's fang, giving him one last taste of blood before he drew back.
"Ritsu? Open your eyes now. You're safe…"
-Ritsu
Ritsu blinked his eyes over and over to see shapes and blurriness.
Where was he now? He was no longer in the forest but in a large room.
One man gasped. "My God, his eyes,"
Ritsu frowned at the unknown voice. Who was that?
"Ritsu?"
Ritsu gasped, "Masamune?" He was here? Ritsu felt hands cupping his cheeks softly. Ritsu blinked his eyes again, forcing his eyesight to focus on the man he loved.
"I'm here Ritsu; I'm never leaving you again." Takano smiled down at Ritsu.
Ritsu smiled shakily, "Masamune…"
"Ritsu." Ritsu looked up to see two men standing to the side; their eyes were wide with wonder.
Wonder? Wait, weren't they from Ireland? With all those men in black suits surrounding them?
The man in black hair smiled gently at him and pulled him up for an awkward hug.
Ritsu looked at his wrists. Why was he cuffed?
The man leaned back and noticed his panicked. "Ah, right." He reached for a key that the other man handed him. "Sorry Ritsu." He released Ritsu from the cuffs. Takano leaned closer to Ritsu protectively.
"What the fuck are you doing!?" Suoh asked.
Ritsu looked at the man who yelled.
And froze.
It couldn't be.
"Ritsu this is Suoh, your grandfather." The man in black hair ignored Suoh and smiled gently at Ritsu.
Ritsu blinked at him. Grandfather? He had a grandfather?
"My name is Ryuki, your uncle, this is Takeshi." Both men smiled at him.
Ritsu was strucked speechless. He had family?
Ritsu looked at Suoh who was also struck speechless; he looked at Ritsu with sorrow and disbelief in his eyes. So this was his grandfather? Ritsu could actually believe it with how much he looked like his father.
Suoh shook his head. "It couldn't be…"
"Suoh-" Takeshi tried to speak but Suoh shook his head hard.
"That's not my grandson, I would have known!"
"Suoh-" Ryuki tried.
"I would have known! That is not my grandson! He is no blood of mine!"
Ritsu didn't know what happened next, one moment he was sitting on the bed and the next a bright white light blinded him.
"Ritsu!" Takano screamed.
Ritsu automatically drew his hands up in protection.
Maplett you are a genius! Thank you for the suggestion of the kissing scene, I hoped you liked it, I had to change it a bit though because I didn't know to make Takano do that in the first place but I hoped you enjoyed!
