Oh and about the second Chapter of True Love in the Dark... I won't update so soon too... cause well I just started writing it today... so please be patient...

Dark: Heh, it's seem that you are really busy... just poping by to say Hi!

Ryoga: Yea... she really busy... and I think both of us better keep our eyes on Fuji... I heard that in the True Love in the Dark, Fuji is your rival too...

Dark: What the...! Who are you and who's Fuji anyway... no one can steal what's belongs to the phantom thief Dark...

Ryoma: Ignore those two insane one... the author does not own Tenipuri and Dark from DN Angel...

"What do you think you are doing? Let go of him now!" All of them stopped what they were doing including Ken who was still ravishing Ryoma.

Just before Ryoma passed out he said, "Ryo…ga……?"

Chapter 02 Negotiation

"What are you doing? Let go of him now!" shouted the young man, glaring furiously at the gang.

"Heh… trying to be a hero? Guys, get him!" Ken commanded.

The rest of the gang dashed in the direction of the young man, ready to show him what the consequences was to go against their boss. However, before they could even touch him, they were being sent off with some flying kicks and punches. Upon seeing the situation, Ken took out a knife and dashed towards the young man's direction. The young man tried to dodge the attack but was not quick enough. Hence, the knife penetrated through his left arm.

Though the young man had being stabbed, there were no signs of pain. Before taking out the knife from his left hand, he gave Ken one last punch. Then he walked towards Ken.

"Who ordered you to hurt him?" demanded the young man, in a voice so cold that it could freeze the surroundings.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Ken shivered with fear.

"If you want to walk out here alive, you better tell me the truth."

"It's Suzuki Akiko."

"What's the reason?"

"E-echizen Ryoma is too close to Fuji Syusuke."

"If I ever see you around here again, I'll make sure none of you will live a peaceful life ever again. Now leave!"

The young man walked towards Ryoma and checked whether he was injured. He carried Ryoma and walked towards the direction to Ryoma's house.

--------------------

Nanako was shocked for life when she saw what'd happen.

"What happen to Ryoma-san?"

"Get him to the bathroom and fetch him some new clothes."

"H-hai, what has happened?"

"He nearly got rape; luckily I was passing by… I should leave now…"

"Matte, Ryoga-san… you're Ryoga-san right? You're hurt too, why don't you stay for the night? I'm sure Obaa-sama and Oji-sama are glad to see that you're back."

"My belongings are still at the hotel. Don't worry I'll move back tomorrow. Keep an eye on him and I think you should throw away all the clothes he's currently wearing. Ja." So the man who is known as Ryoga disappeared down the dark street.

"W-wait, Ryoga-san…" Nanako sighed. Suddenly, she jerked her head, remembering that Ryoma still needs her help.

--------------------

As midnight was nearing, Ryoma woke up finding himself in his bedroom, just then the door opened, revealing Nanako.

"Ara? Ryoma-san, you're awake. Do you feel any better? Want to eat something?"

"Iie. Nanako-san, do you know how did I get home?"

"Eh? It's Ryoga-san."

"So, it really Ryoga…" whispered Ryoma, "so where is he now?"

"He went back already, I'm a bit worry though, and his left arm is injured. Just hope that he will really move in tomorrow."

"He's injured and moving in tomorrow……HE'S MOVING IN TOMORROW!" Ryoma shouted out the last sentence, when his mind registered what Nanako was telling him about.

"Shhh… He says so himself. Well, you should get some rest. If you are hungry, I've made some onigiri. I'll put it on the table. Don't think too much."

Soon after Nanako had left the room, Ryoma began to recall what had happened. He shivered at the thought of what would have happen to him if Ryoga wasn't there in time to help him. Without realizing, tears were welling up in his golden orbs and flowing down his cheeks. He was scared. Now, he really needs someone to stay by his side.

--------------------

Next day, early in the morning at seven, Ryoga was already waiting outside the gate. Nanako was a bit surprised when she opened the gate to see Ryoga standing there.

"Yo!" Ryoga greeted cheerfully.

"Ryoga-san? You are early, I'm thinking of getting ready the room for you before you arrived."

"Haha… it's okay. I'm going out later. So where are the others? How's Ryoma?"

"Oba-sama went out to buy some food ingredients; Oji-sama is at the temple behind the house. Ryoma-san is still asleep. It's been really hard on him."

"Yea…" Ryoga replied, anyone who was near him could clearly see his sad look.

"Ah! Ryoga-san you should take a seat first, I'll make some breakfast now."

"Need my help? I'm really good at cooking, you know."

"Iie, it's alright. You just need to have a seat in the living room and wait for breakfast to be served."

"Hai."

--------------------

Two hours had past since Ryoga had taken his breakfast, and was now taking a nap in his room.

Somewhere down the street in a café, Fuji received a mysterious text message.

Meet me at 10 o'clock in 'Prince Café' the newest café in town. This is important. Bring along your friend if you want to.

Atobe and Saeki who were beside Fuji saw the message as well.

"So Fuji is you going to meet this person?" Saeki asked.

"Maa… it looks interesting, you guys want to come along?"

"Of course." Atobe and Saeki said in unison.

Thus, the three of them headed off towards the direction of 'Prince Café'. They waited patiently for the mysterious person to turn up while taking a guess on the mysterious person's appearance.

"So what do you think? Is it a guy or a girl?" Atobe asked.

"Judging from the message, it doesn't look like it's from a girl."

"Saa… we'll just have to wait and see."

As they were discussing whether it's a guy or a girl, a guy around their age walked into the café and headed towards where Fuji and company were sitting. He pulled a chair opposite of Fuji and sat down, taking off the sunglasses he was wearing earlier on.

"Echizen!" Fuji was a bit shocked. Just like Fuji, Atobe and Saeki were shocked too.

"So you remember me, I'm so touch." Ryoga said, pretending to be touched.

"Ore-sama thought, who would sent such a message. I didn't know that you are the type that play prank, Echizen."

"Sorry, but I don't think that I know either of you except for Fuji over here."

"Why you…"

"Wait, Atobe he's not Echizen Ryoma, he's Echizen Ryoga."

"Echizen Ryoga?" Saeki asked.

"Ryoma's brother. Well, cut the introduction, I'm here to tell you something important."

"Saa…… may I know what is it?"

"Don't stay too close to Ryoma, if you do not like him the way he wanted. You're only hurting him."

"I don't understand what you're talking about." Fuji said, his eyes slightly open showing his blue orbs.

"Don't play dumb with me. You do know that Ryoma likes you, don't you? Not only Ryoma, your two friends over here too and even Tezuka. There are probably many others too."

"What are you hinting at?"

"I'm just trying to warn you not to mess with Ryoma when you already have Tezuka and so many others suitors. Ryoma is not one that you can afford to mess with." Ryoga said in rage. Just then someone in black walked into the café and towards Ryoga.

"Ryoga-sama, Ryoma-sama is being sent to the hospital." The man talked in a small volume. However, Fuji and the others heard it too.

"What! Quick, get the card ready." Ryoga commanded.

"Wait! What happen?" Fuji asked.

"If you want to know what happen, just follow along."

--------------------

Within a few minutes, all of them arrived at the hospital and ran straight to the operation room. Outside the operation room Rinko and Nanako were crying in sorrow and Nanjiroh's face twist into a look of anxiety, pacing along the corridor of the operation room.

"What happen? Didn't I tell you to look after him before I went out?"

"G-gomen, I-I was busy doing the house chores, w-when I went t-to c-check on R-ryoma-san, he was a-a-already sleeping in a p-pool of b-blood…" Nanako sniffed.

"Forget it, let's just wait and see what happen."

"Wait, could someone tell me what's going on? How come Echizen is being send to the hospital?" Fuji asked.

"You ask yourself. If it isn't for you, he will not be nearly raped by someone yesterday and he will never have committed suicide." Ryoga growled in frustration.

"He nearly got raped... b-because of m-me?" Just as Fuji was taking in the words Ryoga had just said, the doctor walked out of the operation room.

"How is my brother (son)?"

"He's out of danger for the time being, but he's very weak right now due to the amount of blood he had lost. Hence, it is better for him to stay in the hospital for a few days for further observation."

"Can we go and see him?"

"Sure, but try to keep the volume down. He really needs to have enough rest right now." All of them heave a sigh of relief when they heard what the doctor say.

--------------------

Ryoga, Fuji, Atobe and Saeki were the last to go in to see Ryoma after they saw Rinko running out of the room crying, followed by Nanjiroh and Nanako. The next thing they saw answered their question to Rinko's reaction. Ryoma's face was as pale as a piece of white paper; he looked thinner than he already was. All four of them could feel their heart ached. Each of them had different thought in their mind.

'Chibisuke no baka, can't you wait for me to come home and tell me what happen. Why do you have to use such a stupid way to solve the problem?' was what Ryoga had thought.

'Why does anyone like Ryoma need to get hurt because of me? I'm going to make that person pay.' Fuji opened his eyes and looked at the small figure in front of him.

'Ore-sama is going to track down the person and torture him. How dare anyone let such a fragile and small person suffer?'

'How could someone like Echizen become so in need of protection? I had never felt this pain in my heart before. It really hurt seeing him in this state. Do I love Fuji or do I actually love Echizen in the first place?'

All four of them kept looking at Ryoma, keeping him company; none of them went home even after the visiting time. Soon, night times befall; all of them were so tired that they fell asleep till the next morning……
