I do not own the loveless characters. I also seem to forgotten to let you know that Soubi and Ritsuka are Juniors. Ok, enjoy!

Chapter 4: Trouble that starts with a R

Ritsuka woked up in his new room with a start. He had the same dream for the past three days. It always started out with a figure holding him close and whispering sweet endearments. When all of a sudden he was released and forced to chase after the figure, but before he could see his/her face. They vanished while leaving him by himself broken. He glanced at the clock and gave a mental groan. It was currently 7:51 and that meant he only had 14 minutes before he was late. Great. He quicky dressed not realizing that the top two buttons werent done correctly, slipped his tie on loosely, and ruffled his hair at the same time while brushing his teeth. 'It was a good thing I decided to take a shower last night.' He thought as he slipped his shoes on and ran to school.

He arrived just as the bell rang and sat down at his seat even though the teacher wasnt yet there. When he turned his head he noticed Soubi looking directly at him wth a smirk on his face. Flustered, he quickly turned his head the other way as he heard Soubi's chair scrapped back.

Soubi calmly walked up to Ritsuka and stood infront of him. He chuckled at his blush, thinking it made him look more vulnerable. He slowly raised Ritsuka's head and ran his hands on his cheeks. He didn't know how it happened but Ritsuka was accepting him more everyday since he took him to Seime's place three days ago. And he loved it. He unbuttoned the first two buttons and rebuttoned it for him. Ritsuka slapped his hands away as soon as he was finished while exclaming, "Soubi!"

"You're cute when you're blush." He teased lightly which earned him a stubborn glare. Just then the teacher entered telling them to take their seats. Soubi camly walked back not realizing through out the whole thing he was being watched. The hateful glare turned and zeroed in on Ritsuka as he grabbed his pen that fell on the ground.

Ritsuka felt eyes on him and when he turned to look in their direction, he was caught in a menacing gaze of a female. She had shoulder lenght brown hair, green eyes that tilted upwards, and a look on her face that meant trouble. He turned his back on her with a sigh, not caring she heard. Teacher was saying something about civil war when the bell rang. Ritsuka quickly left before Soubi could catch him. He started wandering the halls for about ten minutes, he only had ten minutes until his last period class started. On his way there he bumped into the same female from his class and she wasn't alone. With her she had two strong looking guys that looked like they were seniors.

"I dont like how close you are to Soubi. Stay away from him." She said in a hiss.

"Thats not for you to decide." Ritsuka stated, "Besides, he follows me not the other way around he said with a shrug. He started to walk around them when one of the guys grabbed onto his right arm.

"I don't believe i said you could go." She said with a smirk on her face. She snapped her fingers and the other guy grabbed his left arm. Ritsuka started to struggle when she stepped up to him and grabbed his chin roughly. She took out a knife and held it to his cheek.

"Whoa, Rayne, you said we were going to scare him and that's it." One of the guys said.

"Shut up! Just listened to my directions and everything would be fine." Rayne said as she trailed the knife down, leaving a trail of blood in its wake. "This is your final warning. Stay away from him, and no one gets hurt." She said as she trailed the knife back down leaving another line nest to it. "Lets go." She said as she stepped back. The guys roughly shoved Ritsuka into the locker face first, blooding his lip.

He heard as the sound of footsteps became weaker.

Black spots swam in his vision as he whispered one name, his name, "Soubi.." and then he lost conciousness.
