Author's Note: Hey everyone! I am so sorry! Updating will now take a longer time because high school has come upon me, so I have to work extra hard in my studies! Other than that, the story must go on! Oh yea! I can't forget about the reviewers.

sakura13chii: Hey! Now you'll find out more about Ukita and Soubi! Here goes a chappie!

NaRuKo77: Now you can see if Ukita died for no reason! Here's another chappie for ya!

Kamiko-Miha Yay! Time for more Ritsuka-ness! Here's another chappie for ya!

.BTW I DO NOT own Loveless. If I did, Ritsuka would have lost his ears a long time ago, trust me! XD


He is my Knight, and I am his Prince

.:Chapter Five:.

The next day, it began to rain steadily outside. Ritsuka woke up, got dressed and made his way downstairs. He still couldn't keep his previous dream away from his mind. No..not a dream…it was a memory. But is it the same way I imagined it? Ritsuka's spirits quickly dropped when he remember the way they parted. They way Soubi and Ukita kissed passionately before he left her. His heart beat so roughly that it hurt. The hurt of it all stayed there for a long time; it was there since last night.

The servants prepared breakfast as usual and got everyone to the table. Ritsuka overheard some of them talking about how they wanted Soubi to come back to the household and how cute he was. He disregarded the jealousy rising in his stomach. Their just servants! It's not like they even have a chance with him… The hurt rose up again. He just played with the food on his plate. …or that I even have a chance with him. He sighed and pushed his plate away.

"I'm not hungry. May I be excused?" Ritsuka mumbled. He put his fork down and looked at his mother. She looked at him accusingly for a few moments and then nodded. He quickly got up and went to his room. He laid on his bed again and replaying the whole thing in his mind; the beginning of the rendezvous and the end of it, and then rewinding it only to play it again. He grabbed the blanket surrounding him and buried his face in it. He could feel himself cry. And he hated that. It's just a weakness…just a weakness…

He held them back the best he could and sat up on his pillow. He stared out of the window for a long time and then got up. If Soubi was coming today, then Soubi would have the proof he needed to find out if Ukita and him were actually lovers.


It felt like forver until Ritsuka felt like going downstairs. He heard the door bell ring, and he heard the servant call him to come downstairs. But when he heard the deep, seductive voice of Soubi he just couldn't move. He siked himself up that he was strong and that he could deal with an ugly outcome but the truth was he couldn't. If Soubi said that he, in fact, had been with Ukita, Ritsuka couldn't take it. So there he was- lying in the same spot he did when he stared siking himself up. I have to do something! I have to ask him or the thought of them together will just kill me! He took a deep breath and finally decided to get up.

He headed downstairs towards the throne room where Soubi was most likely located. When he got to the doors of the throne room, he stopped and took deep breaths. I can do this! I…I…He finally pushed the doors open and there he was-and looking straight at him.

"Oh, there is Ritsuka-sama!" one of the servants exclaimed.

"What is Soubi doing here?" Ritsuka asked. I just can't do it….

Soubi just smiled at him. Some servants that caught the smile started to whisper to their servant buddies and blush madly. Ritsuka just looked at Soubi like he could just tear him down whenever he felt like.

"I want to talk to you, Ritsuka-kun," Soubi finally answered.

"Fine, do what ever you please. Just get me outta here," Ritsuka whispered and Soubi quickly obliged, grabbing Ritsuka by the wrist and taking him out of the throne room. Ritsuka hated when the servants got like that. In some way, it got him really upset but he didn't understand the feeling himself.

When they entered the living room, they were offered much more privacy. Soubi let go of Ritsuka's hand and turned around to face him.

"I've been thinking a lot of you lately," Soubi said quietly.

Ritsuka quickly blushed and said, "Yea…same here."

They stayed quiet after that; Soubi just looking at Ritsuka while Ritsuka looked bashful at the floor. Soubi finally broke the silence.

"I actually came here just because I wanted to see you," Soubi said. "Is that alright?"

"Yea, it is…" Rituka answered quietly. "I actually wanted to ask you something…"

"And what is that?" Soubi looked at Ritsuka curiously.

"Well…I was wondering…did you ever like a princess when you were younger?" Ritsuka asked, now looking at the wall next to Soubi.

"Hm..well, now that you mention it, I did," Soubi answered while smiling. "Why?"

"Well…did she have black hair?" Ritsuka asked disregarding Soubi's question.

"Yes, long back hair," Soubi said, staring out into space like he was thinking hard about something.

"And…did you…leave her..with a kiss..?" Ritsuka asked. His voice was shaking from the tears he was holding back and it was audible to even Soubi. He really didn't want that.

Soubi looked at him for a long time. Ritsuka cheeks were slightly flushed and his expression looked like he was ready to cry. Then Soubi finally thought of an answer.

"Why are you asking me these questions?" Soubi asked.

"Please…just answer my question…" Ritsuka said. Said. Not ask. It was like a command. At first Soubi was fumbling with what to say to reverse everything he just said to Ritsuka. He didn't know the link to his answers, but it was causing Ritsuka pain.

"Yes…I left her with a kiss," Soubi finally answered. He couldn't think of anything else to say but to answer Ritsuka's question.

Ritsuka hung his head and he started to sob. The tears were to strong to hold back. They kept spilling from his eyes and he couldn't stop them. Soubi was shocked with the noises he was hearing now. He quickly, but gently, put his arms around him. And the Ritsuka's sobbing stopped.

"Ritsuka…why are you crying?" Soubi asked, his voice gentle.

Ritsuka slowly shook his head slightly, but kept his head buried into Soubi's chest.

"Please tell me Ritsuka. I never meant for you to cry…" Soubi said.

Ritsuka made an audible sniff and looked up.

"My sister…" He murmured.

"Your sister?" Soubi asked.

"She…she loved…" Ritsuka started.

"Hm?" Soubi asked. He really wanted to know what was making Ritsuka sad.

Ritsuka looked down. He felt the pain rising again, and it burned this time. It hurt really badly. He grabbed his stomach and got up. He threw up and the whole contents of his breakfast and crippled to the floor.

Soubi immediately got up and grabbed Ritsuka.

"Ritsuka!" Soubi yelled.

The pain was still there and it built up. He started coughing and wheezing. The burn grew and grew until it was unbearable.

"Soubi…" Ritsuka murmured. He grabbed his stomach and continued coughing. …I love you…And I'm sorry…He fell on Soubi and didn't make an attempt on getting up. The pain grew and grew until Ritsuka lost consciousness.

"Ritsuka! Hang in there!" was all Ritsuka heard until the world blacked out in front of him.

Maybe I can finally die with Ukita…
