I hope you will like this chapter. It's a sad chapter again.

Chapter 14

Today was the day of Ritsuka's funeral. All of his friends of his former schools have come but no one from his new school have come, not even the teachers. It was a sad thing that Ritsuka had become even less loved after his mother was send away than before. But now the place was silent. Everyone was lost in their thought.

Aoyagi Misaki was happy. Finally, the one who had taken her Ritsuka's place have died. And it was a good thing, because now the real Ritsuka can come back. Her so beloved son can return to his mother. It was not right for this impostor to have take his place, but she was never fooled. Her Ritsuka would never have fear in his eyes when he looked at his mother. The impostor had always known that what he had done was wrong, and his guilt had shown to his face. But now, he was not here. Now she had just to wait for her two sons to come back to her.

Yukio fought her tears. She don't have stopped to cry since she had found out that Ritsuka was killed by a car. The day she had read it on the newspaper she had wanted to die herself. Ritsuka was her first love, and even if she had know that she wouldn't stand any chance against Soubi, she still had hoped that someday Ritsuka would open his eyes and see that she was here. She thought it was so unfair for him to die so young. He had his all life full of promises, and more of it he had Soubi. It was no wonder for Yukio that Soubi was not here. She had almost wished that she could escape from coming today too. It was so hard. She don't wanted to say goodbye. Life is so unfair.

Ritsuka's father was looking around, but seeing nothing. Now he had lost his second son, and he felt nothing. Misaki and Semei were the center of his world, and when Semei was killed he had lost the will to fight. He had let Misaki done what she wanted with Ritsuka. After all, he was her son, not his. He had found out after Ritsuka had lost his memories that Ritsuka was not his. His work had alway take a lot of his time and now he regretted to have left his wife so lonely. He had no idea of whom can be the boy's father, but he just know that it was not him. That's why he don't have wanted to take the boy with him when Misaki was taken away. He had always found it strange that Ritsuka and Semei looked so alike when they don't have the same father. The two have take after Misaki's side. But now, it doesn't matters anymore. The boy is dead and it was better for everyone.

Yayoi was very sad. And not only because Yukio was sad too. If, at first, he was Ritsuka's rival for Yukio's affection, the things have changed a year ago. This day, Ritsuka had told the truth to Yayoi. He had told him that he liked Yukio a lot, but only like a friend, and he was interested by someone else. At first Yayoi had not wanted to believe him, but after some time of looking at Ritsuka he had found who this someone else was. It had come as a surprise to him to find out that Ritsuka was interested in his older friend. Yayoi had alway found strange the relationship between Ritsuka and the earless student turned artist, but he had keep it quiet. It was not his problem, and if Ritsuka wanted so much to be with this Agatsuma, then Yayoi had nothing against it. So, after that they have become very good friends. It was a shame that such a beautiful friendship ended like this. Poor Ritsuka ! And poor Yukio !

Hitomi was more than sad. She thought that she had failed her former student. She don't know what she could have done, but the guilt eat her. She once was Ritsuka's teacher and she had liked the boy a great deal. It's a shame to die so young. Poor Ritsuka !

Hitomi can't help herself and began to sob. Soon after Yukio and Ritsuka's friend began to cry too. It was really a very sad day.

Outside, Ritsu was waiting for Semei to come. He had no doubt that the older Aoyagi would come to his beloved little brother's funeral. The way Semei loved his brother was sickening, but it show that Semei was not totaly cold. Ritsu wanted nothing more than to have Semei killed, but he needed the man for finding the answers he seeked. The sound of footstep told him that Semei had arrived.

" I will kill you." Stated coldly Semei. " You deserve to die for killing my baby brother."

" Ritsuka is not dead." Said Ritsu. " He had ran away before we can capture him. The plan was to fake his death and take him to the academy. But everything had gone wrong, and Ritsuka had disappeared before we can take him."

" Why do you say such thing to me ?" Asked Semei. " What are you waiting from me ?"

" I thought Soubi was the one who had helped Ritsuka's escape. I want you to call him and order him to give Ritsuka back."

Semei stayed silent after this. For once he was lost. He had already tried to call Soubi back when he had learned about Ritsuka's death, but it was like if his link with his fighter had been destroyed, which means that Soubi must be dead. But he don't wanted for Ritsu to know that, not yet.

" I don't see why I would do that. Why should I let you have Ritsuka ? You were the one responsible for his memories lost. You and your damned spell !" Sais Semei with anger.

" How do you know about that spell ?" Asked a worried Ritsu. " Please, tell me you was not fool enought to use it !"

" And, what if I had. What would you do about it ?" Laughed Semei.

" Fool !" Exclaimed Ritsu. " We don't exactly know what effect this spell had in the long time. I believe it will cut every connexion between a fighter and his sacrifice, and that's why your brother had still not his true name appeared upon his body. I think Ritsuka had become something more than a blank sacrifice, something unknown. And you have tried to creat an other one like him ? Have you lost totaly your mind ? Do you know what will happen if the two of them meet ? Who could stopped them in the other one was a fighter ?"

" Everything was your fault to begin with. If you have not cast this spell upon my Ritsuka, nothing would have happen. I would have stayed the good sacrifice I once was and keep my seat at the seven moon. But no ! You have to play with what was my to begin with. Because of you, I have to let my beloved brother in the care of this animal. My pure and precious Ritsuka tainted by the filthy Soubi. I hate you Ritsu and I will never help you ! But thanks for the news. I will find my Ritsuka and this time he would stay by my side."

Semei turned back without glancing at Ritsu. So, he missed the smile. Ritsu had found his answers, and even if he was not happy with them, he now know where to begin. Semei was mentaly ill, but he was no fool. Ritsu was sure that Soubi was not his intended target. Which use would he have of a memoryless fighter ? No. As much as he was angry with Ritsu for using this spell in the first place, Semei must had tried to make his brother forget Soubi. It was a very well known fact that the loveless pair had become closer. They were more powerful than most of the other team without sharing tha same name. But if Ritsu was right, now they would share something more than one name. Ritsu had wanted Ritsuka in the academy to study him. And now he was very afraid that the team formed by Soubi and Ritsuka would become the more powerful of all, even Semei's. He needed to find the teen soon, because the more they waited, the more the two of them would become powerful.

To be continued.

I hope I don't have made Semei too OOC, but I have only read Loveless until vol. 5. Please leave me a review.

Next chapet : some answers and a decision.
