Broken Hearted

I Can

Last Time: The butler just stared at them in contempt, "You've hurt Master Ryoma enough. I will not allow that any longer. You are going to learn to live without him as you have been. Good day." Then the butler left them, once again, in shock. "We lived…." "Without him?" They all asked, looking at each other.

Ryoma stared up at the ceiling, 'I've left them…now, can I be happy?" Was the last thought that ran through Ryoma's head as he fell asleep, almost peacefully.

The next couple of weeks were hard for Ryoma. He was having a hard time getting over his lovers. But with Master Lei's help along with his staff it was possible. He had become friends with all of them, and even though he hadn't spoken yet, it was going well.

Master Lei had called Ryoma to his study, something about Atobe's butler coming. Ryoma walked into the study and looked at Master Lei expectantly. Master Lei smiled, "Well, I got a call from Sige, (that would be my name for Atobe's butler); he said he would be coming by to see how you were doing. I told him you were fine, but he insisted on coming to see himself." The corner of Ryoma's mouth lifted and he gave a small nod. Master Lei smiled, "Good, I'm glad you approve."

The few days later Sige pulled up in front of the mansion. Master Lei stepped out to greet him, "Ahh, Sige. So nice of you to visit. Even if it's to check on someone else." He joked. Sige grinned, "Well, I can't help that you're not that likeable. So how's he doing?" Going from joking to serious. Lei gave a soft smile, "Better. Come and see." Lei led Sige into the back to the gardens where Ryoma was helping an older gardener. Sige smiled, "Ryoma-sama…" Ryoma looked up, and the corner of his lip lifted. He walked over to Lei and Sige and gave a soft bow. "Now, now Ryoma-sama. So I hear you're doing better?" Ryoma nodded. Sige smiled softly, "The others miss you terribly. I brought these gifts from them. They told me to make sure you got them. And Ryoma-sama….I'm glad you're better." Ryoma took the gifts and gave a small nod, his eyes showing a little emotion. Ryoma hugged Sige tightly. Sige smiled sadly and hugged back, "Your welcome." Lei watched the exchange with a smile, he was glad Sige came, Ryoma needed it. "Well I should go. I don't want Atobe-sama to get suspicious of me. Take care Ryoma-sama." With that Sige left.

Atobe and the others sat around the living room trying to figure out where Ryoma had gone and if he was okay. "Where could Ryoma have gone? Why won't Sige just tell us?" Fuji asked worriedly. The others looked thoughtful. "Sige did say we caused him pain. Maybe that has something to do with him not telling us." S (?) remarked. Tezuka nodded in agreement, "I believe that has something to do with it. I mean he did refuse to tell us because of that, and he probably even knows where he's at." Atobe was annoyed; his butler might know where Ryoma was and didn't say anything. It pissed him off. First because Ryoma left, second because he knew they were the reason why, and third that they wouldn't be able to apologize. Was Ryoma well? Was he living without them like they did with him?

Ryoma lay awake in bed thinking about his old and new life and figured he preferred his new life more. Even though he was about the same as before, he was improving and it was all because of the change. He could do this; he could live with out them.
