I'm glad you like my story. Thanks for the review.

Chapter 10

As soon as Ritsuka was released from the hospital, he was send to his foster family. Ritsuka had wished that it don't have happened so soon, because he don't have even time to say goodbye to his friends. But what was worst for hims was the fact that he could not have seen Soubi too. His foster family living in an other part of the city, he had to change of school too, which means that now he was alone. He missed very much Yukio and Yayoi. It was a little like when he was twelve and he had to change school because of what had happen to Semei. But now he was glad for it, because he had met at this school two of his best friends and Soubi. For him his four years at this school were the most happy years he could remember.

Ritsuka had been angered when he had found out that his foster parents have forbid to Soubi to come to visite him. He could understand their thinking, but they were wrong. Nothing bad would ever happen when the two of them were together. Soubi had always protected him, and it was only Ritsuka's stubborness at not seeing the truth in front of him who had prevent Soubi to be the protector he wanted to be. But things have changed since when he was twelve. He no longer idolize his older brother, and he can see him for what he really is, a sadic. But his adoration, almost reluctant at first, of Soubi had grown into something much more important. Ritsuka was not ashamed of his feelings. He just wished the others can see Soubi for what he really was : the love of his life.

Ritsuka's foster family was nice, but the neko teen felt often lonely. He had seen Yukio and Yayoi once, and after this visite his loneliness had grown. He felt like if something was missing, something so important that he can't keep to live without having him by his side. But he can't. He was aware that his foster father would not hesitate to accuse Soubi of being a pedophile if he see them together. And Ritsuka would do everything to prevent Soubi to have problems with the police. So, when he was too lonely, he lost himself into his mind where a bright light rested, and sometime he can heard Soubi's thought. It was not nearly enough, but for now it will be all he could have.

Soubi missed Ritsuka. He can understand why Ritsuka's foster family don't wanted him around. Sure, he loved the teen with all his soul, and few people can understand the depth of such a love. Ritsuka was like his other half, and without him he was lost. That's why he worked harder than before. He was glad when he had found out that even if he don't remember his past, he was still capable to paint. What had shocked the most about his painting was the number of butterfly he had painted. Sure, the butterfly were nice to see, but it looked like if he was obsessed with them. Which was not good for an independant artist. So, when he take his brush again he avoided to paint a butterfly, and he was happy with the result.

It was a few weeks after Ritsuka was send to his foster family that a client called him to paint a portrait of his wife. The only problem was that Soubi had to leave the country for a few months, but in his state of mind, Soubi was ready to accept anything. Day by day it was harder for him to not go to Ritsuka's new school and wait for the teen to leave the school and return home with him. He wished nothing more than being able to kiss the teen again like they have done once or twice during Ritsuka's stay at the hospital, but he couldn't. So, the best would be for him to go too far away from his little lover to be able to give in into his desire. He wrote to the client that he accepted the job and began to pack his bag.

Soubi had also began to make some search about his own past during these weeks. He had found out that his family had once leaved near by Izumo. He had planed to go there and search if he could find information about his own past, but the call of the client had changed his mind. When he would return to his place, he could make every research he wanted. But for now, he had to let his past rest. After all he had lived almost twenty years without knowing anything about his family, or he though so judging by the fact that he had no photo nor any reminder of his parents, so he can wait a little longer.

Soubi was waiting in the airport for his flight to be called, when he spoted Youji runing to him. He was glad that the boy had come for he was not able to say goodbye to them. Kio had burst into tears when Soubi had told him his decision, but he had understand at the end. He had wished good luck to him and he had told him that he will be there whenever Soubi would need him.

" Soubi !" Yelled Youji. " You can't go !"

" What ?" Asked a puzzled Soubi. " Why not ?"

" Because Ritsuka need you. We have found out that Ritsuka foster family worked for the seven moon. They have planed to fake an accident and send Ritsuka to the accademie !"

" What ! They can't do that ! Ritsuka had told me that he don't wanted to go there. They can't act against his wish."

" Like if they cared. The plan is made and your departure was part of it."

" What can I do ? How could I help Ritsuka ?"

" Don't worry, we will help you ! We have a plan too. Nagisa-sensei would help you too. Much more to angered Ritsu-sensei I think, but at last as long as it will work, we can't complain."

" What are you plan ?" Asked an eager Soubi.

" Natsuo would take your place on the flight. Don't worry, we have used a spell for him to look exactly like you. It will last only a couple of hours but it will be enough for the spy of the seven moon to think that you have gone away."

Youji was proud of their plan and it showed to his face. Soubi was nice with them when they have nowhere to go, and the time to pay their debt had come.

" Now, you have to wear this hat and leave the airport with the other passengers who had just arrived. Don't worry for your bags, we will take care of them. After that run to Ritsuka's new school. They have planed a car accident right in front this school and Ritsuka would be the one who would be hit and die. Of course, he would not really die, but everyone would thought that he had. This way he could be send to the accademie without arrousing any suspicion. You have to take Ritsuka with you before the ambulance arrived. I will play Ritsuka's role for a couple of hours too so you have to find him before his school day's end. Now, run. We don't have much time."

Soubi don't waste any time to thanks the zero. Something told him that they already knows what he wanted to say, and like Youji had said they don't have much time left. It would take him almost one hour to be in front Ritsuka's school. And after that he would have only less than an hour to find a way to take the teen with him and ran out without being noticed. It was almost an impossible mission, but there is no way for Soubi to left his little love to fall on the hand of the seven moon.

To be continued.

A cliffanger ! I hate them but I need to work a little more the next part. I try to post it tomorrow if I resolve my problem. Don't forget to give me a review.
