Ryushi leaned against the window one last time letting the cool breeze blow his hair out of his face. For the first time in six years his hair was completely black, and he didn't have a single piercing in. His black button up shirt was completely buttoned and tucked in. He was finnaly leaving. He refused to do that womans dirty work. He refused to hurt Keito anymore. With a sigh he stepped back from the window and with one last look at the courtyard below he turned and left the room, putting on his sunglasses as he went.

Keito sat up, his book falling to the ground. He looked around and realized that he had fallen asleep in the court yard. He scratched the back of his head and looked up in time to see Ryushi closing the window. Keito sighed and wondered why there was no colorful streak in Ryushi's hair. Why his shirt had been fully buttoned... and why he had seemed so sad.

"it hurts" Keito muttered to himself as he bent to pick up the book he had dropped. Chibi looked up at his owner sadly, wishing he had heard more of Ryushi's phone conversation. It had been almost a month since then and Keito hadn't spoken to Ryushi once. The distance between them hurt Keito no matter how much he pretended it didn't. Even though Ryushi had done nothing but hurt him, Keito couldn't help but love him. He was always a jerk and always hurting Keito but he had been kind to Keito when it had really mattered. Keito knew that Ryushi felt something for him no matter how small.

"Keito, don't look so sad. You know that its probably better this way" Chibi said, hoping that some how he could get his old Keito back. Keito just shrugged and got to his feet. streatching he started to walk away from the bench. Suddenly the phone in his pocket started to vibrate and Keito sighed, figuring it was Zane he took it out without checking the caller I.D.

"hey whats up?" he asked heading back towards his dorm.

"Hiya Keito hows the whole find your childhood friend thing going?" Rima's voice came over the phone. Keito smiled a bit and then responded.

"not so good, how are things going with you?" He asked stopping so Chibi could tie his shoe.

"okay i guess... so you still haven't found Ryu-niisan yet?" she asked. Keito froze and stared ahead his eyes wide.

"wait what did you just call him?"

"Ryu-niisan... what did you forget i used to play with you guys too... but now that i think about it you used to call him shi-chan... i would have called him that but you where the only one allowed to. Huh well hey maybe he didn't get in he was never that interested in school when i think about it"

"Rima you remember him... what was his Last name was it Michaels? Was his name Ryushi Michaels?" keito asked quickly, rima thought for a moment before answering.

"yeah i think so... why do you know where to find him... Keito why don't you remember this stuff you where always alot closer to him?"

"I'll explain later Rima i have to go" Keito said before hanging up on her and running towards Ryushi's dorm. He yanked the door open and stepped into to room excitedly. Then he froze. The room was completely empty with out a single thing indicating that Ryushi had once been there. The beds had even been put back in their proper places. He looked around the room confused.

"huh Mashiro what are you doing? If your looking for Michaels he just left. you might still be able to catch him. God knows why you would want to though that guy gives me the creeps." With out even listening to what the guy was saying Keito ran out of the room. He ran down the stairs nearly nocking Zane over.

"woah slow down Keito whats the rush" Zane asked putting his hand on Keito's shoulder. Keito gave him an apologetic smile.

"i'm sorry Zane i have to go after Ryushi!" Keito said out of breath. Zane sighed and ran his hand through his hair.

"yeah i figured i saw him heading towards the east entrance, my bike is out side you can use it" Zane said pushing keito towards the door. Keito smiled at zane then ran out grabbing Zanes bike and jumping on it. He rode as fast as he could towards the east entrance nearly hitting plenty of people. When he got there he jumped off the bike and ran towards Ryushi.

Ryushi was putting his bags into the trunk of a car, slowly. wishing that he wasn't leaving with out saying goodbye to anyone. Suddenly there was a crash and he looked up in time to see Keito running towards him. Ryushi stepped away from the car and smiled. Keito tackled him to the ground.

"what the heck" Ryushi said looking up at the out of breath Keito. Keito took a deep breath before speaking.

"Don't leave Shi-chan" He said grabbing Ryushi's shirt. Ryushi's eyes widened and he sat up staring at Keito. Keito wiped his eyes.

"So you remembered huh" he said in his usual uncaring voice. keito looked at him just now noticing the similarities. Suddenly he could remember everything about his childhood. Keito wrapped his arms around Ryushi tightly not planning on letting go. Ryushi looked away, a small smile on his face.

"so why exactly shouldn't i leave Keito. You haven't fallen in love with me have you. I'm pretty sure i told you not to." Ryushi said with a smirk. Keito smiled and bit his lip to keep from laughing.

"No you just said you don't care if i'm hopelessly in love with you. you never told me not to" Keito said relief washing over him.

"jeez you forget to say one thing and you get an overly sensitive gay kid tackling you out of the blue" Ryushi said ruffling Keito's hair.

"hey whats that supposed to mean!" keito said defensivly. Ryushi chuckled, causing Keito to blush.

"It means you should get up and get the dirt off my favorite shirt" He said prying the other boys arms from around his neck. keito sighed and got up holding out his hand to Ryushi. Ryushi hesitated then took Keito's hand.

"Keito why did you come here? did you really think you could get me to stay?" Ryushi asked leaning against his car. Keito looked down trying to think of his response. after thinking for a moment he looked back up at Ryushi, a determined look on his face.

"no. i came here because you tried to leave with out saying goodbye. Or telling me the truth" he said crossing his arms. Ryushi's lips twitched and he stared at Keito. Keito stepped forward leaving only a small space between him and Ryushi. He placed his hand on Ryushi's chest and waited for him to respond. Ryushi smirked and closed the small distance. He kissed Keito, not holding back. He wrapped his arms around Keito not even giving him a chance to pull away. Not that he wanted to.

"thats my answer" Ryushi said pushing Keito back a bit. Keito stared up at him his eyes wide, and his face red. Ryushi smirked and kissed Keito's cheek then turned and opened the car door. He hesitated then looked back at Keito.

"so your still leaving" Keito said the dissapointment clear on his face. Ryushi sighed and pulled Keito against his chest, hugging him.

"sorry Keito but... i have to go. its either that or do something that i really don't want to do. I wont be able to contact you for a while but i'll call you as soon as i can ok. Wait a while for me ok." Ryushi whispered. Keito nodded then smiled sadly up at Ryushi.

"i knew you weren't a jerk" Keito said smiling. Even as he smiled tears ran down his face. Ryushi gently wiped them away.

"your such a girl, drama boy" Ryushi said with a chuckle.

"well call me when you can... break is coming up so maybe we can get together or something okay" Keito said looking up at Ryushi hopefully. Ryushi thought for a moment before answering.

"i'll try. i'm not sure i'll be able to but i'll try. I'll send you an email so that you have mine ok" Ryushi said as he got into his car. Keito nodded and stepped back, closing the door. Ryushi glanced at Keito once more before driving off to deal with his inner demons

oooooooo dramatic. i could pretty much see the whole thing happening in my head like one of those cheesy romance movies. =P well anyway i got other stories to work on so this is the end of this chapter. don't worry this story isn't done yet. Keito still needs his happy ending =D hope you loved it.
