Chapter 4"S-Souchan!"
Soubi lifted Kio up by his collar and slammed him against the wall with a feral growl.
"You dare! You touched my, MY Ritsuka, now suffer the consequences!" Soubi took out a feather and started tickling Kio. Kio was very ticklish and soon he was gasping hard, having difficulty breathing since he was laughing so hard. He couldn't even speak. All he could do was jerk around and try to stop Soubi while off a wall by the collar of his shirt. It was futile.
Ritsuka had recovered by now from the double shock of the unexpected kiss and Soubi's out of character revenge and tried to pull the man off of the smaller blond. "Oi! Stop that! You'll suffocate him with laughter! That's an order!"
Soubi smiled at Ritsuka and he let go of Kio, who slid down a couple of feet into a nasty pile of trash. Kio spluttered and coughed, trying to catch his breath in a daze. Soubi walked over to Ritsuka and picked him up, bride style. He gave the boy a long, loving kiss and asked him, "Are you okay?"
Ritsuka blushed adorably and nodded into Soubi's collarbone. The movement caused his ears to become slightly crooked.
"Good. I love you Ritsuka."
"You always say that," Ritsuka replied with a face. He didn't mind those three words as he had in the beginning. Now, he knew the feelings were true, and not something his brother Seimei had forced Soubi to say. And so he buried his head further and murmured, "I love you too."
Soubi felt a warmth spread through his chest and smiled happily. He combed his fingers through Ritsuka's hair, dislodging the ears even more. Now only one hung on crookedly, while the other fell to the floor. He lifted the child's innocent face to his and kissed him. The kiss was chaste, and sweet, but full of enough love for the passionate emotion to radiate around the happy couple.
While this fluffy loving took place, Kio got up on unsteady feet and was wobbling around like a drunken duck. He saw the couple behind the twittering birds flying around his head and teetered towards them. That brat had taken his, let me emphasize that, HIS, Souchan again! Kio reached out to grab Soubi, but Soubi punched him right on the nose. It happened so fast that Ritsuka, who had closed his eyes and was lost in the kiss, didn't notice. Kio, his hand still outstretched, fell onto his back and twitched. He had a big fist shaped bruise on his face.
Soubi broke the kiss and chuckled when Ritsuka moaned in protest. He turned around and walked out of the alley with Ritsuka still in his arms. As the light from the street reached them, the fighter looked his Sacrifice over. Ritsuka had wrapped his arms around Soubi's neck and had laid his head on his shoulder. There was no sign of any injury, except for a few bruises from the fall. Then he noticed Ritsuka's ears, or lack thereof. They must have fallen off in the alley. Oh well, Soubi thought. It's about time he stopped trying to hide the truth. I wonder how his friends will react?
With that thought, Soubi stepped out of the dark alley and into the city sunset.
"Ritsuka-kun!"
Ah, there were those friends of his, running toward them. Soubi still had trouble believing that the girl was the same age as Ritsuka. Why, she had bigger tits than a lot of the girls at Soubi's college. And that's saying something.
Ritsuka sat up in Soubi's arms when he heard his name and smiled one of his adorable little smiles. The one that would cause every person seeing it's heart to skip a beat and their brain's deal with the temptation of squealing and hugging the little boy until he suffocated. You know the one? Well yeah…on with the story. "Hi, Yuiko, Yayoi."
Yuiko and Yayoi ran up to them and were about to glomp Ritsuka, regardless of the fact that Soubi was still carrying him, when they noticed the difference. Large, shocked eyes and mouths hanging so open that the chins dragged on the floor is one way to describe their reaction.
"EEEEEK!!!!!!!!!!!" That would be Yuiko, pointing at Ritsuka and clutching Yayoi's arm.
"Wh-whe-where a-a-a-are y-you're e-ears?!" Yayoi.
A/N: MWUAHAHAHAHA! Our little neko boy has "lost" his ears! Wait…if he doesn't have ears, then he's not really a neko boy anymore…is he? Hmmm…. Oh wells. Hope you liked! And you can't kill me because I have TWO defenses. ONE: I never ever promised I'd update soon so you can't put me on trial for being late and TWO: If you kill me, you won't ever know what happens next. You want to hear Ritchan try to explain his way out of this one don't you? Heeheehee… I bet you're all wondering HOW he lost those ears…Tell ya'll what, since I'm an ebil conniving likkle bishie who likes to see you squirm (Why do I remind myself of Itachi?) I'll post a flashback chapter to that incident if, AND ONLY IF, I get lots an lots of R&R's!!!!
