Chapter 13

Soubi and Ritsuka entred the house without letting go of the hand of the other. None of them knows what was happening, and they were both unsure. They followed the old woman and her grand-daughter to a beautiful restroom. There, they all sat onto the sofa and they waited for the old woman to talk again.

" Please, forgive the rudeness of my grand-daughter." Began the old woman." She was not aware of who you are, master."

" No need to make any excuse." Said Soubi. " It was me who must excuse myself for coming like this to your house."

The old woman began to laugh at this.

" This house is not ours, it is yours. Like it have belonged to the Agatsuma since four generation. But, I'm rude too. Please let me introduce myself. I am Hana, the governess of this house, and this is my grand-daughter Miaka. Our family work for the Agatsuma since my great-grand-father had become maitre d'hotel here. "

" So." Exclaimed an hopeful Soubi. " You have known my parents ? Please tell me more about them."

" I will, but not tonight." Answered Hana. " It's late and we all need our rest. I will answer all of your question tomorrow."

After that the old woman send Miaka to bed and she guided Ritsuka and Soubi to the master bedroom. She opened the door and entered the room with the fighter and his sacrifice. Then she closed the door, much to the surprise of Ritsuka and Soubi. She gone to the closet and searched for some time into it. Finally she found what she was searching and give an old looking letter to Soubi.

" Master." She said."Please read this letter. Your father had ordered me to give it to you when you will return home. I think you would find some answers. Goodnight master. Goodnight young man."

The old woman exited the room after that, leaving Ritsuka and Soubi alone. Soubi looked at the letter with hope and fear, not knowing what he would find inside.

" Do you want me to let you alone to read your letter Soubi ?" Asked Ritsuka. " There will be no bother."

" No, please read it with me. I don't want to have any secret between us." Said truthfuly Soubi.

" Are you sure ?" Asked again Ritsuka.

" Yes, I am. Now, please come to sit on my lap, and let's go to read this letter."

Soubi opened the letter and began to read it with his lover.

" My beloved son,

If you read this letter it means that we have failed to protect you, and for this I can't excuse mysefl enough. But keep in mind that me and your mother have only wanted for you to grown as a normal child. Everything we have done it was for you.

You must don't know a lot about us, I'm sadely sure of it. So, let me introduce me to you. I'm sure you don't have expected to found out that you have servant working for you, but the truth is that our family was, and I hope still is, wealthy. As the only child I have inerit of a fortune when my parents have passed. At this time I was a spoiled child and I have begin to use my money without thinking of the future. I could have continued like this and lost everything if I don't have meet your mother.

I remember exactly the first day my eyes have fall upon her. I was returning to my city loft after a night spend at playing card and drink a lot, when I have see an injuried man with an unconscious woman in his arm. My parents have tought me well and I don't have hesitate to go to them and see if they needed help. The man, who's name was Minami Ritsu, refused to go to the hospital and I have no other choice than let them go with me to my loft. There the man have treated the woman's injuries and had fall into a very deep sleep after I have treated his. Having my sofa and my bed occupied, I have nothing to do but look at my guest. And I must to say that I have spend the next hours at looking at your mother. Never before I have seen such a beautiful woman. She had take my heart without trying.

After a few days, Ritsu and my Mirei have left my house, but not before I made Mirei promise me that we will see each other again. And she had keep her promise. During the next two years we have seen each other as often as we can. And my love for her had grown. And, if at first your mother had just liked me, with time she had begin to love me. I was never happy at hidding my feelings, so since our first meeting I have never stopped to tell her how much I loved her. And it had paied in the end."

Ritsuka let a little laugh escape him after reading this. Like father, like son, he though.

" When Mirei had agree to marry me, I was the happiest man alive. At this time, I had just take Ritsu's treat as jealousy and I don't have paid much attention to it. Our wedding was marvelous, but Mirei was sad that Ritsu don't have showed up. After that I have take my new wife on our honeymoon, and when we have returned she was expecting you. I have never cried so much than the day when you were born. As the CO of the Sakura tree companie, I have a lot of money and time to see you grown. Our four first years together were the most happiest for the three of us. Unfortunately it don't have continued.

When you turned five, Ritsu come again into our life. He wanted Mirei back and he wanted you too. Of course I refused. But soon after, attempt against my life have begun, so your mother had decided to return to the place where this Ritsu lived and try to make him change his mind. Your mother had never told me what they have said to each other, but she had become very afraid after that. So, six months later we have decided to ran away with you. With my fortune we can have lived everywhere. Tomorrow we will take our car and drive to the closest port. We will leave this country and I hope we will succeed.

If we don't make it, knows, my son, that you can trust Hana. Most of my fortune was hided and only Hana can give you the key for it. I have give her order to give you this letter if we died. I hope it would not been necessary, but something told me that we battled against a force far more powerful than I can see.

Don't ever forget that me and your mother have loved you more than anything. Please, live your life the fullest and don't fell ashamed to use your money. Where ever we are, we would be proud of you.

your father,

Agatsuma Ryoichi."

Soubi had tears in his eyes after reading this letter, and Ritsuka understand the feeling. He turned around and hugged his lover. Soubi returned the hug and the two of them go to bed. Tonight, Soubi would need Ritsuka more than ever and the youngest one was ready to give everyting Soubi wanted. Tomorrow they would found answers, but tonight they just need each other.

To be continued.

I hope you have liked. The answers would have to wait a little longer but don't worry everything would be explained. Don't forget to give me a review.
