CHAPTER 91

Ryoma felt all muscles in his body stiffen. He could only stay still as Sei's tongue explored his mouth. He had no idea how the tongue had even got there. Ryoma's eyes went to look at Sei's wondering what was happening only to see the blunette looking at something behind him. The cat getting more anxious at what Sei seemed to be so concerned about tried to pull away only to feel his head being held in the others hands.

When Sei finally stopped and pulled away he mouthed the word 'leave' to Horio. Ryoma tried to turn his head again to look at the unibrow only to still have the Rikkaidai captain holding his head in place. "I love you." He whispered to the boy as he looked him dead in the eye. "I love you." Ryoma felt him self shaking. In his mind this wasn't meant to happen. As Sei let the grip on the boy's head loosen he pulled the cat into an embrace. Eyes clenched shut as he spoke those three words into the boy's ear again.

'No...' The cat thought. He pushed Sei with force making him fall over onto his ass. Shock... That was all the cat could feel. That and betrayal. Sei was over run by emotions. He had no idea he had said that to Ryoma until it was too late. What made it worse in his case he didn't say it just once, he said it three times. He watched as Ryoma's eyes started to tear up. "Ryo-Ch..."

"No, don't. Just don't." With that he turned and pushed pass Inui, going into the principles office and slamming the leaned against the door and slowly slid down, bring his knees up and he cried. Feeling completely broken. The illusion of a family he had created was slowly crumbling and he couldn't stop it. He could feel his broken and scared self coming to the surface. He did the only thing that would register at the moment. He sob. It was a heart wrenching sob, one filled with all the pain that he had been bottling up inside him and it had finally burst, but he couldn't care, because once again he found himself alone.

Sei froze when he heard the crying coming from the other side of the door. In haste he went over turning the knob and trying to push it open only to find something blocking his entrance. He tried pushing harder and not having any results. He couldn't speak. He couldn't think clearly. He only came back to everything when he felt arms wrap around him and pulling him to the ground so he was sitting in between the persons legs. "Sei breath." He heard the words whispered into his ear. Slowly realizing he wasn't even taking in air, he let a shaky breath out.

He finally took note of Syu being the one he was sitting with along with Mitsu in the far corner on the phone, he could only guess it was Tomo. Then there was the Seigaku headmaster standing by the door to his office. "What's going on? How did you get here so fast?" He asked still slightly light headed from the lack of oxygen.

"Sei, you blacked out for at least 10 minutes. You know how hard it was to try pry your hands away from the door." Sei looked back at Mitsu to see him hanging up and going over to the two of them on the floor. He crouched down and brought his hand to Sei's cheek. Using the back of his hand to gentle caressed the other. "Mitsu, what did Tomo say?"

"He'll be here as soon as possible and he's going to phone Doctor Oishi." Both tensai and blunette nodded. Sei leaned back into Syu's embrace. "You alright?"

"Yeah, just tried now." Sei rubbed his eyes with the palm of his hand. "If it makes you feel any better Ryo-Chan will now most likely want to avoid me the most."

"How is that meant to make me feel better?" The blunette shrugged.

"Well, you didn't grab Ryo forcefully, kiss him and then declare your undying love for him only to be rejected and make him cry." Mitsu sighed and shook his head not believing that Sei did that. "Anyway, I don't think that it was completely my fault. Horio did most of it."

"What do you mean?" Sei shivered even if he couldn't see Syu's face he knew that just by the voice alone that seemed all to happy that he was really angry. "I hope your not suggesting that Horio is in love with him."

"I think he does have a thing for our Ryo-Chan. It was in his eyes. I sort of wanted him to back off so I kind of did the first thing that popped into my head. Oh and Inui got this." Sei got out a camera from his trouser pocket and gave it to Mitsu. The Seigaku captain turned the device on and stopped all movement when he saw the image that came on the screen straight away.

"What is it? Can I see?" Syu felt even more alert seeing Mitsu reaction. As he was about to grab it Tezuka moved so the tensai could get it without leaving the position he was in. Syu glared. "Mitsu give." The captain just stared going over his options.

"Don't do anything to the person in this photo." Syu's eyes opened and narrowed so you could only slightly see some blue showing. The tensai nodded and grabbed the camera as soon as it was in reach. Sparing no time he looked at the picture.

"Neh, Sei. Do we have any shovels?" Sei frowned. Not getting why he would need them.

"Yeah we do. Why?" Syu didn't take his eyes off the camera in his hands as Sei turned to look at him properly.

"I need to hide the evidence once I'm done. Want to help me bury a body?" Sei's only reply was a roll of his eyes.

"Syu that joke's not funny?" Syu finally taking his eyes off the picture looked to the blunette in confusion.

"What joke?" Sei could feel his inside going weird. The brunette was serious.

"Please tell me-" Sei was cut off when he felt himself being lifted from the ground. Letting off a squeak, he blushed hard at the unmanly sound he had just done and looked to see Mitsu above him. He was in his arms in a princess hold much to his embarrassment. "Mitsu, put me down."

Kunimitsu's lip twitched slightly at the flustered 18 year old in his arms. Leaning his forehead against the others he whispered in a deep husky voice. "Or what?" Sei felt excitement bubble up as many perverted ideas popped into his head. Just as he was about to say, they turned when they heard coughing.

"Alright children." They looked to Tanaka the principle. "God, when Tomo said that he was looking after 5 hormone raging teens and Ryoma. I didn't think he meant it literally." Tezuka held in his annoyance as he told them that he was going to take Sei to the infirmary and wait for Doctor Oishi there. While he had told Syu to try help Ryoma seeing as he was the only one there out of them three that the boy would probably listen to. With that he left with the blunette still in his arms.

Inui had been standing quietly in the corridor leaning against the wall taking notes about all that he saw. He had come to the conclusion that there was some strange relationship going on. He didn't know whether it was just those three or if Sanada and Atobe were involved as well. Then he put a question mark at the end of Ryoma's name wondering if they were trying to make him part of it also.

Sei had fallen asleep in Mitsu's arms not long after since he was no longer stressing over Ryoma. Instead he had just exhorted himself. Mitsu trying to reposition him in his arms as he rather awkwardly knocked on the door. The nurse opened the door and just looked at the two boy. Telling Mitsu to go lay Sei one of the bed and then get back to class.

The Seigaku student gently laid the other down and pulled the white blanket over him. Mitsu sighed for the hundredth time that day. He kept forgetting that Sei was ill. Normally the blunette could go days without anything bad happening, but it was times like this when he saw how fragile Sei was did he truly wonder how bad his condition really was. Mitsu drew the curtains round the bed. He looked to the nurse only to see her on a computer and muttering something about winning a grand. Knowing she was distracted and wouldn't bother checking on Sei he sat up right on the bed as close to the other as he could. He closed his eyes and leaned back running his fingers though blue hair as he thought how much homework he was going to be given for missing so much in lesson.
