He is my Knight, and I am his Prince
.:Chapter Three:.
The appearance of Soubi the next day wasn't a surprise to Ritsuka. The day started out as usual: A yell from his mother for him to go downstairs to meet 'the guest', him running down, and his eyes meeting Soubi's but this time they didn't stare at each other very long because Soubi averted his gaze this time. He probably did it because of the constant stare of his mother. It seemed the day was planned for the two boys probably by Ritsuka's mother.
"Ritsuka, since your sister isn't here, you are the one to show Soubi around the island of Honshu," Ritsuka's mom said.
Ritsuka didn't like the way the day was going so far. Hopefully his servants will be around…I don't wanna be by my self with him…
"What's the transportation?" Ritsuka asked cautiously.
"You guys are walking around the island. Everything, after all, is close by," Ritsuka's mother stated. That's when the world around Ritsuka closed down on him and his breathing stopped. By our selves?
"We don't need any servants with us so we will be going by our selves, Ritsuka-kun," Soubi said while smiling at Ritsuka. Soubi had to admit that he knew that Ritsuka wouldn't want this, but he wanted to be closer to Ritsuka mentally and physically. He watched the half afraid and half frantic expression setting in on Ritsuka's face.
"Are you okay Ritsuka-kun?" Soubi asked quietly.
"I'm fine," Ritsuka lied. "When are we going?"
"Now," Ritsuka's mother said. She pat Ritsuka on the back. "Have a good day, son."
She opened the door while Soubi stepped outside. Ritsuka stared at the open door for a moment thinking through what he would do if things were drastic between the two of them. Then he stepped out of the house. There was the THUD! of the door behind them.
There was an unusual silence that crept between them.
"So where to first?" Soubi asked, breaking the silence.
Ritsuka noticed he wasn't breathing and took a deep breath.
"Well a good place to start is in the grocery center," Ritsuka stated.
"Ok then, let's start there," Soubi said.
Ritsuka nodded and they stepped out of the gate, making sure to close it when they were out.
Ritsuka's heart thudded in his ears. He wasn't faring well at all being with Soubi like this. It looked like the presence of Ritsuka didn't even affect Soubi so Ritsuka tried to act normal like he was. He was sure Soubi heard his heart thudding like that, but he didn't say anything. The walk to the grocery center seemed to take forever, especially with Soubi around. He took a deep breath and looked up at Soubi. Soubi was looking down at him. It took awhile for Ritsuka do lower his gaze. His eyes are beautiful…a wonderful shade of blue…
"So, what does my fiancée look like?" Soubi asked quietly.
Ritsuka couldn't help but frown. If Soubi was trying to make conversation, this wasn't a good topic to start with.
"It doesn't really matter," Ritsuka muttered.
"Why doesn't it matter?" Soubi asked, now curious of Ritsuka's sudden behavior.
"I promise I'll tell you later," Ritsuka murmured under his breath.
There was no more conversation on that topic because they finally made it to their destination. There were food stores, and restaurants cramped everywhere in every available spot.
"This is the grocery center," Ritsuka said monotonously pointing at the area. Soubi pretended to be thrilled.
"Wow," He said, then smiling.
"What else do you want to see?" Ritsuka asked.
"Nothing else really. Want some ice cream?" Soubi asked.
Ritsuka shook his head.
"Aw, come on. My treat," Soubi said while smiling.
Ritsuka sighed.
"Fine then, lets get ice cream," Ritsuka muttered.
"Let's go to that one," Soubi said while pointing to it.
Ritsuka nodded enthusiastically and they made their way to the shop.
"Carmen's Shoppe of Ice Cream"
ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
"Chibi-Ritsuka!"
Ukita yelled happily. Ritsuka and Ukita finally got their bakery goodies and got out of the shop. Ukita kept saying that she would get some treat for Ritsuka if he behaved. He behaved better than Ukita thought, staying quiet when needed, and saying something when needed.
"Let's go get some Ice Cream! It is really hot outside," Ukita said while they walked toward the grocery center. The grocery center had every shop imaginable, so it was the perfect spot to go get some treat. They even had a nice bench park if anyone wanted to stay there and eat their treat.
"I want Chocolate!" Ritsuka said, while raising his hands in the air. "I want it this big!"
The space between his hands got wider and wider.
"No! Not that big! Don't be a pig," Ukita giggled. Ritsuka always did that when Ukita treated him. If it was candy Ritsuka would show how big he wanted it and Ukita would say her rhyming phrase: "No! Not that big! Don't be a pig!" It was their joke, and their joke alone.
When they finally make it to the grocery center, there were many ice cream shops. But there was only one that they both liked a lot. They entered the shop and ordered their ice cream. Ukita ate hers sloppily on purpose, rewarded by a giggle from Ritsuka until he did the same thing. When they were done they would throw the garbage away and run the rest of the way back home.
"You guys are messy!" Their mother said when they got home. "What is this stuff on your mouth?"
"It's ice cream," Ukita replied with a giggle, while Ritsuka giggled along with her.
"Which Ice cream store did you guys go to?" Their mother asked, already knowing the answer.
"Carmen's Shoppe of Ice Cream, mama!"
sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Eating the icecream brought back many memories that it hurt Ritsuka deeply.
"So about my Fiancée.." Soubi said.
Oh yea…I promised him that I would tell him…Ritsuka looked down at his ice cream.
"…You said that it didn't matter. Tell me why you said that," Soubi said, smiling at Ritsuka. Ritsuka took a deep breath and looked up into Soubi's eyes.
"Promise you won't tell ANYONE," Ritsuka said ferociously. Soubi nodded, not showing any fear from Ritsuka's tone.
"Fine…" Ritsuka breathed. "I…"
"You?" Soubi asked patiently.
"I killed her."
