Umm... Sorry for not updating, it was my birthday last weekend so I forgot to do it. Sorry ^_^ It is a little shorter than I intended it to be. I hope that it is still good though. ^_^

The Norm: I do not own Loveless and Kyou Kara Maou. But they plague me daily.

Unknown Savior and Fleeing Secrets

"And what is going on here?" came the low voice, causing Ritsuka to look up at the scene that was unfolding. There was a new man, shrouded in a cloak who seemed to stand taller than the others and his green clad arm was out stretched and clamped around the blonde teen's wrist. Ritsuka watched as the teen seemed to deflate before this man his green eyes going from anger to worry as he stared up into the hidden face.

"A-Aniue…" The blonde's voice trembled slightly, but was soon interrupted by a loud shriek.

Ritsuka's eyes flashed around at the gathering crowd that surrounded their group, noticing how most eyes were fixated on him. That is when he noticed his hood had fallen off his head and quickly reached up to cover his face and especially his ears once more, but the damage had already been done.

"It's the DEMON!" one woman screamed out as she covered her mouth and began to step back allowing other, more intimidating men to step forward, their eyes glinting with an unknown intensity.

But before Ritsuka could even stand he found himself being swept up into strong arms. He didn't even question it as he burrowed his head into this man's shoulder and clenched his hands into the shirt that cover the chest. He could feel the wind hit him as his carrier began to run, hearing the forming mob yell their protests and the sound of more feet following them.

"Conrad." came the low voice once more, causing Ritsuka to pull his head away ever so slightly in order to peer up at the one carrying him.

The face that greeted him was nothing he had anticipated. The man was older, maybe even older than Soubi, with deep blue eyes and a small frown marring at his face causing wrinkles to form on his brow. Ritsuka could just make out long hair of a dark hue but was uncertain as to what color it truly was.

"Go get Geika." The man spoke once more startling Ritsuka out of his inspection of the intriguing face to peek over the cloaked shoulder and look behind them. He saw the burnette of their group, which followed close behind them, suddenly break off and dart down a different ally way and into darkness. Ritsuka scanned his eyes back and saw that Yuuri was also being carried and it was by the man with the orange colored hair.

But as Ritsuka kept looking over the man's shoulder, he could spot a few blocks away the slowly forming group that was chasing them down, all with looks of anger or disgust clouding their distant faces. Ritsuka couldn't look any more and decided to burrow his face back into the warm chest of the man that was carrying him.

After about ten minutes more running, Ritsuka heard boots connecting with wood and felt the sudden swaying as if they were on a ship. But before he could look up, he heard a door opening and found himself being set onto his feet. Ritsuka looked up into the face of the man that had run so far carrying him and noticed that his face was being inspected by the man just like what he had been doing only a short while ago. He saw a faint smile cross the man's lips as he stood straight and turn away to stride out the door before closing it.

Ritsuka stayed where he was, still staring at the door before he heard a small groan come from behind him causing him to jump slightly. He looked around the room quickly and felt relieved that the groan he heard had come from Yuuri, but then he noticed the teen cringe slightly as he lowered himself onto a chair. Ritsuka instantly moved to help the young King stopping only a moment to drag what looked like an expensive chair over to the injured teen and position the chair so that the injured leg could be propped up.

"Thanks Ritsuka." Yuuri murmured out quietly, his voice tainted slightly with pain, but when Ritsuka looked into Yuuri's eyes he only saw happiness and gratitude reflected in his black there.

Ritsuka could only nod awkwardly before turning his attention back to the injured leg to be inspected for any new injury, which Ritsuka was relieved to discover that no such thing had occurred.

Just as Ritsuka was satisfied that Yuuri's leg was relatively okay, the door swung open and an unknown cloaked figure walked in quietly, apparently taking in the two occupants with his hidden eyes.

"Seems you caused some problems again, Shibuya." came a friendly voice from underneath the hood, hinting at humor within his voice.

Ritsuka turned enough to have his eyes on the newcomer but to maintain a small amount of a view onto the young King. But Yuuri seemed unthreatened by this new individual which made Ritsuka relax just a touch.

"You know how it is, Murata." Yuuri said a little dejectedly, shrugging his shoulders slightly. "I never mean to cause problems, it just somehow always seem to occur. And this time, it wasn't even my fault!"

The newcomer chuckled slightly as he removed his cloak and draped it onto a very pricy looking desk, allowing Ritsuka to take in the messy black hair and the dark eyes that hid behind rounded glasses that looked like they belonged on an older face than the one that was currently being shown.

"Hmm, and yet here we are. Fleeing another country for our safety." teased the glasses wearing teen, smiling at the other teen's pout.

Suddenly the teen turned around and stuck out his hand to Ritsuka, his smile bright.

"I almost forgot, I am Murata Ken. It is nice to meet you." Murata said cheerfully smiling wider when Ritsuka took his hand and shook it softly.

"Aoyagi Ritsuka." Ritsuka murmured releasing the teen's hand when he saw the surprise reflected in his eyes.

"That name…" Murata began, his sharp mind already beginning to make the connections. "You are the one we were looking for aren't you."

Ritsuka flinched away from the comment, uncertainty clouding his mind. His eyes darted over to Yuuri who noticed the sudden change in him and gave him an encouraging smile.

"It is okay Ritsuka. Murata is a good friend of mine and he would never hurt you." Yuuri spoke in a comforting voice, his words calming Ritsuka slowly.

Ritsuka turned back to the slightly confused glasses wearing teen and made his choice. Ritsuka reached up and began to unzip his jacket, removing his coat and laying it on another chair. He reached for the tie that confined his tail and undid it letting his cramped tail stretch out and twitch in anticipation. Ritsuka turned his eyes back to the teen and saw the surprise clouding Murata's eyes.

But before anything could be said, the door to the cabin opened and in step the man that had carried Ritsuka all the way to the ship. His cloak had been discarded and he was dressed in a long green coat that looked militaristic. Ritsuka felt a small bubble of excitement at being able to see the man again, and see that the hair that had been under the hood had been a dark gray.

The man paused in the doorway for a moment, his eyes settling onto Yuuri before he quickly strolled over to the young King.

"We are on our way back, Heika. We should be arriving within three days." The same low voice escaped from the tall man.

"Thank you Gwendal." Yuuri answered happily, smiling at the man.

As Gwendal turned to leave, his eyes fell onto Ritsuka and he froze in place. Ritsuka shifted from foot to foot, his ears laying flat and tail wrapping around his legs as he felt the older man scrutinize him. As they all stood in silence for another few moments, before Murata couldn't stop himself.

"You better watch out Ritsuka! Gwendal has the habit of stealing cute things for himself! You just might find yourself jumped one day." Murata teased as he draped an arm around Ritsuka's shoulders, causing a bright red blush to come across his cheeks.

Gwendal instantly spun around and began to walk to the door, preventing the rest of the occupants in the room from seeing a similar blush spread across his face.

Well that is it for today. Sorry that it is short, but I hope it was a little interesting. ^_^ As usual, please review and tell me if there is anything unclear or messed up. I just couldn't help putting in that little cuteness of Gwendal at the end. It just makes me smile every time I picture it. ^_^
