I think Ritsuka need some closure with his family, so I write this chapter. It was not planed but I hope you will enjoy it. And thanks for the review.

Chapter 22

This morning Soubi drive Ritsuka to his parent's house. The fighter don't liked the idea of letting his true love alone with the mad woman who was his mother. But deep down he knows that Ritsuka needed it. As much as he had wanted to protect his little lover from everything, Soubi was aware that it was an impossible task. Ritsuka was not an object, and Soubi had learned that Ritsuka can be very stubbborn when the matter of what is important to him come to light.

Ritsuka had ordered Soubi to stay in the car. He don't wanted to risk to anger his mother by showing earless and with an other man. Ritsuka knows that he can take anything from his mother, he had learned how to do it in the past years, but it would saddened him if Soubi was hurt because of him. If he would have an other choice, Ritsuka would have chose to avoid his family at all cost. But there is no other way for Semei to show up. Or more accurately, the only way without the members of the seven moon to know that he still was in Tokyo.

With trembling hand, Ritsuka knocked at the door of his once own house. It was an unknown woman who opened the door. The woman wore a nurse outfit, and Ritsuka understand that his father had paid someone to take care of his ill wife during his work hours. Ritsuka can't help his anger to flare at the thought that his father had waited until he was gone for doing so. When he still lived her, it was up to Ritsuka to take care of his mother. His father don't have cared about the fact that Ritsuka was barely able to take care of himself. More than even he despissed the man.

"Can I help you ?" Asked the nurse in a professional tone.

" Can I see Aoyagi Misaki ?" Asked Ritsuka in a sweet voice. " I was a friend of her son."

" Of course." Smiled the nurse." I'm sure she would be delieghted to see you. She always talk about her sons. Please follow me."

Ritsuka looked around but nothing had changed since the last time he had come to this house. The only thing who had changed was the fact that his mother was seated on a couch with an absent look in her eyes. Ritsuka knows that his mother was druged and he felt ashamed to be relieved by this fact. He take a seat in front of his mother and waited for her to notice him. They stayed like this for almost an hour until Ritsuka's phone began to ring. The sound seems to take the woman to the reality again.

" Hello." She said with a voice devoided of any emotions." Who are you ? Do I know you ? It's strange but I think I must recognize you, but I can't."

"I was Ritsuka's friend. Nice to meet you."

" You lied !" Exclaimed the woman with anger. " My Ritsuka had none adult friends ! I would not permit it ! Who know what they can do to my poor sweet Ritsuka ?"

" I still have my ears the last time I had see him." Lied Ritsuka.

" That's great. My Ritsuka is so pure, I won't let anyone tainted him. He is my most precious being. I love him so much and he love me too."

" Yes he had." Answered truthfuly Ritsuka.

" You can wait with me for his return." Stated calmly Misaki. " He would return from school soon. I'm sure he would be happy to see you. Semei would be too."

"I can't. I'm sorry. Maybe the next time." Said weakly Ritsuka.

But Misaki had stopped to heard him. She, once again, had become lost in her own mind. In a fictive life where she lived happy with her two perfect sons. Ritsuka don't tried to wake her up again from her living dream. He had lost his mother the day he had lost his memories, and nothing can change this fact. He wondered if enough time had passed for Semei to know he was here and come. He looked outside from the window but he can't catch his brother sight. So he resigned himelf to wait more. He take his phone and began to send mail to Soubi. It would be a long morning he thought.

When he returned home for lunch, Ritsuka's father was not ready for who was awaiting him at home. Since Ritsuka's death, Mr Aoyagi had returned at home at noon to eat with his wife before returning home. Misaki was not anymore capable of cooking but the nurse always made lunch for them. Mr Aoyagi don't liked this time of the day, but the nurse would leave the house for one hour during lunch time and he can't let his wife alone for such a long time.

When he entered the house, he was shocked to see his wife lost again in her own mind with a silent Ritsuka in front of her. Mr Aoyagi recognized the eyes and hairs of the man who once was his younger son. Even without his ears, he still was Ritsuka. Fortunately he had changed a lot during the last months and his wife must have not recognized him.

" What are you doing here ?" He hissed. " You don't have your place here. Go away. We don't want to see you again."

" Father." Exclaimed Ritsuka." Are you not even happy to see that I am still alive ? Do you care so little about me ?"

" You are not my son." Sais hatefuly the man.

" How could you say that ?" Said Ritsuka with tears in his eyes.

" Because you are not. You are the son of an unknown man. Semei was mine, not you. I don't want to see you again. Go away and never return. We don't need you."

Ritsuka can't stand anymore. He rushed out of the house, his plan was totaly forget. He wanted to be as far away as he could from this place and these people. His heart hached even if it was no news that his father don't liked him very much. Now he truly feel like an orphan and he wanted, no he needed, the confort of his lover arms. His tears felt freely unto his face but he don't dared to stop them. He needed them now, because it would be the last time he would cry because of his parents. These two people would be dead for him from now.

Semei was happy. Nisei had told him that Ritsuka had come to visite their parents. Finally ! He could see his brother again. He was in the center of the city when he had recevied the call and it had take him some hours to finaly be in front of the house. He wondered for a second if it would be better to be bothered with his parents knowing that he was still alive but seeing his precious Ritsuka sooner, or wait outside for the boy to leave the house. There is no way for Ritsuka to stay here again, he would leave soon, so Semei decided to wait outside. His father and mother don't deserved to know the truth. After all, they were not human, they were beast to him too.

Semei watched the door open. He wanted to rush to his beloved brother when he stopped dead. There, in the head of his little brother his ears were no more ! Someone else had take what was rightfuly his ! It was his right to take his little brother's ears, but the boy had give them to someone else. Ritsuka had lowered himself. He now was a beast like the others. He no longer was worth of Semei's love. He needed to die !

So lost in his anger, Semei had let Ritsuka go. When his anger had calmed enough for him to be able to walk again, Ritsuka was no where in sight. Again, Semei's anger flared. He would take care of Ritsuka the next time they saw each other, but until then he would made paid the seven moon for taintening his precious brother. It was their fault if everyhting had happened. Ritsu-sensei must paid for changing his brother into the beast he was now. Semei would have no pity. They would learn not to mess with Semei.
