Chapter 7: Betrayal

Soubi stood in front of a mirror to make sure everything was perfect. He chose a black/blue tux with a white rose in his breast pocket, his hair was pulled back in a low ponytail, and his black dance shoes was polished. On his way out he grabbed a matching white rose for Ritsuka before leaving.

He was excited, not that he'll admit it, but he was looking forward to the dance. Before Ritsuka he took girls who would only look at him and sigh, or plan their wedding. Their wedding for crying out loud.

Soubi pulled up the driveway and knocked on the door. It opened to reveal a sour Seime.

"I don't have to explain to you the rules, do I?" he asked with a sudden fierceness.

Soubi said with a smile, "Seime, it's nice to see you to."

"You didn't answer my question. Do you need me to explain the rules?" he threatened while not moving an inch from the door.

"Of course not. Is Ritsuka ready?" Soubi asked as he stepped in. All of a sudden they heard noise coming from down the stairs. They both turned in that direction as Ritsuka descended with a hand in his pocket.

He wore a black tux that made him appear slim, slender, and while at the same time made his shoulder appear broader. His tail was resting on his right shoulder and his ears twitched with curiosity.

"What's going on?" he asked calmly trying to figure out the atmosphere.

Soubi continued his opened gaze as it roamed over Ritsuka's figure causing the boy to blush very lightly. He stepped around Seime took out the rose. He walked gracefully towards Ritsuka and attached the rose for him.

Ritsuka cocked his head to the side and began to sway his tail left and right with curiosity.

"You didn't have to do that."

"But I wanted to." Soubi said as he lifted his head upwards to meet his eyes. Seime cleared his throat loudly catching their attention.

"I want him home by 11:30 and he better not smell like alcohol." He said as he glared at Soubi. Soubi smiled and grabbed Ritsuka's hand while leading him out.

Ritsuka sat in the car silently since he was excited to go to the dance. He got ready three hours ahead of time since it was his first time attending a dance. He thought about how close Soubi would be with him while dancing and how he proclaimed his love. Ritsuka tail began to move while he purred softly.

Soubi looked over at him and chuckled when he heard the purr. He was glad that Ritsuka was excited and he was pleased that it was with him. They pulled up in front of the school.

"Go ahead, I will meet you inside." Soubi said as he pecked Ritsuka's cheek. Ritsuka hopped out of the car and headed in. While Soubi made his way to the parking lot. It took ten minutes to find a spot, and it took another ten minutes to make it past the parking lot. He was a few feet away from the entrance when he was stopped by a girl. She was decked out in white and her hair was piled high above her head.

"Soubi, there you are! Dance with me." She purred out as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

"I'm sorry, but someone's waiting for me." Soubi said as he placed his hands on her hips in an attempt to push her back.

"Don't you recognize me? It's me, Rayne. You love me." She said as she tightened her grip.

"No, I don't." he answered coldly. Her expression changed from love and devotion to hate and anger. She tipped on her toes and grounded her lips to his in a sad attempt to make him love her. He pulled away just as he spotted Ritsuka and watched as Ritsuka left with a tear sliding down his face.

"Ritsuka…"

--

Ritsuka ripped the flower off his tux and threw it in a direction. His first dance and he caught his date making out with the girl that hated him. How stupid was he for ever believing that guy. He could never be loved.

Loveless.

That suited him now more than anything. 'Love…there is no such thing.' he thought bitterly as he walked down the streets.
