[Chapter Two]

‘What does he mean by that?’ Ritsuka thought, sighing. Then he started to panic. His hands when lightening fast up to his head, and he pulled on his ears a bit. ‘My ears are still here though.’ Ritsuka’s mind raced all the way to school. Contemplating what to do, Ritsuka finally pulled out his phone.
Soubi’s phone started beeping. He had been in the middle of an art project, painting what he thought a shinigami looked like. He reached for his phone, which was sitting on the ground next to him:
Pervert! What do you mean by that? –Ritsuka
Soubi smiled, and laughed a little bit, typing a message back. As soon as Ritsuka had gotten done typing the message, he raised his hand.
“Yes, Aoyagi-kun?” Miss Shinonome, Ritsuka’s teacher, acknowledged him.
“May I use the restroom?” He asked her.
“Hurry back.” She smiled, as Ritsuka got up out of his desk and headed down the hallway. Ritsuka was expecting an immediate answer from Soubi, and he didn’t want his phone going off during class. He got to the bathroom, and about five minutes after he got there, his phone started to beep.
You mean you don’t remember? That’s too bad, it felt really good, you would have liked it. –Soubi
‘The idiot.’ Ritsuka thought, then said to himself, “Is he really that stupid?”
“Who?” came a voice beside of him. Ritsuka nearly jumped onto the sink. He looked over and saw Yayoi standing beside of him.
“N-no one.” Ritsuka answered.
“Well, Miss. Shinonome sent me to get you. You’ve been in here for nearly ten minutes. He took the phone from Ritsuka. He read it, and his eyes got big, “What is Soubi talking about?”
“N-nothing!” Ritsuka grabbed his phone back, and quickly typed:
Idiot! Do you really think I’ll believe that? I still have my ears and tail. Don’t text me again, I’m going back to class!
“Come on…”Ritsuka told his friend, heading out of the bathroom door and back to class, putting his phone in his pocket. He and Yayoi sat down at their desks. Ritsuka watched as Miss. Shinonome wrote the homework assignment on the board, then stared out the window. Everyone was fairly quiet. When Ritsuka’s phone started to beep again. The whole class looked at him as well as the teacher.
“Who is it?” Yuiko whispered to him. Ritsuka was just about to read the message quickly before having to hand it over to Miss. Shinonome, but she took it before he could.
“I’m sorry, Aoyagi-kun, but I’ll have to take this. It’s school rules. But you can have it back t the end of the day, which luckily for you, is in an hour.” She told him, slight hurt in her voice for having to take it. She glanced at the already flipped open phone.
Just because you still have your ears and tail, doesn’t mean we couldn’t have had a pleasurable time last night. –Soubi
Miss. Shinonome blushed madly, and looked up at Ritsuka. “Umm… yes. The umm… end of the hour, or umm I m-mean day, yes in an hour you can have it back.” She stuttered, still blushing a deep red.
‘Great…’ Ritsuka thought, his ears bending down against his head, He could only imagine what the message could have said that mad Miss. Shinonome blush so badly. He had told Soubi plainly that he was going back to class, ‘And what does the damn idiot do? He send another text message!’ Ritsuka laid his head on the desk, as Yukio poked at him trying to get him to tell her who it was. He didn’t really notice though, all he could think was, ‘At least it’s only an hour…’ The last hour of school dragged on for what seemed like forever, and as soon as school was out, Ritsuka grabbed his phone off of the teacher’s desk, “Miss. Shinonome, you should probably forget whatever nonsense Soubi wrote in that text message. None of it’s true.” He told her, reading the message for himself, as he sighed a heavy sigh. ‘Idiot…’ he thought. Yuiko and Yayoi followed him outside talking to him, asking him about the text message. Well, it was more Yuiko questioning him, as Yayoi stood by jealous, trying to explain to her that it was Soubi, but she was too busy asking Ritsuka to notice he was even saying anything. “That idiot…” he muttered under his breath for the third time.
“Who? Soub-“ but Yuiko was cut off as soon as the reached the sidewalk, and saw the man. “Oh, hi Soubi!” she looked up at him. He smiled at her.
“I’ll see you tomorrow…” Ritsuka told his friends quietly.
“Bye bye!” Yuiko yelled to the boy who was already down the sidewalk. Ritsuka and Soubi were oddly quiet for a minute, then when they were out of earshot of Yayoi and Yuiko, Ritsuka said,
“Ok, Soubi, explain. This is an order.”
“What do you mean?” Soubi questioned.
“You know good and well what I mean!” Ritsuka blushed, “About all that text message nonsense!”
“Do you truly not remember last night?” Soubi smiled.
“I told you, I still have my ears and tail!” Ritsuka blushed a deeper read.
“You must have been asleep. I lay down beside of you, and held you for a while, then left before you work up. I thought you might’ve been awake when I laid down, but I was mistaken. It really felt good to hold you. I thought it was a very pleasurable time.” Soubi explained. Ritsuka thought back to last night. The last thing he remembered was Soubi lying down beside of him, before he drifted off to sleep.
“Rnnn…” Ritsuka whined in an annoyed tone.
“Ritsuka…” Soubi began. Ritsuka looked up at him. “How about we go to the pet store?” he smiled.
“Fine…” Ritsuka sighed.
‘He’s getting more tolerant of me these days.’ Soubi thought to himself. He took Ritsuka’s hand, but Ritsuka only pulled it away.
“And why did you text me after I told you I was going back to class?” Ritsuka asked a bit irritated.
“Sorry…” Soubi apologized.
“It’s fine.” Ritsuka told him as they walked on silently. After several minutes of the silence, Ritsuka said, “Miss. Shinonome read it.”
“Read what?” Soubi questioned, looking down at Ritsuka.
“That last text message…” Ritsuka reminded him.
“Oh…” Soubi laughed. He could just imagine what Ritsuka’s teacher had been thinking. Just as he did, they arrived at the pet store. They walked in, and the first cage they saw, had small black kittens in it. “Ritsuka…” Soubi said looking at the kittens.
“Hmm?” Ritsuka looked up from the cage at Soubi.
“This kitten reminds me of you…” he finished, pointing at the smallest kitten in the cage. It was in a corner by itself, resting peacefully. Ritsuka took his camera out of his bag, and snapped a picture of the kitten.
“There, now you can have a picture of it.” Ritsuka told him, but Soubi had a better idea. Before Ritsuka even knew what was going on, Soubi was talking to the store manager, requesting the kitten. Ritsuka sighed.
“You’re getting the kitten?” Ritsuka asked him.
“Yes. Why, are you allergic?” Soubi asked, pausing.
“No… but aren’t you going to get tired of cleaning up after it all the time?” Ritsuka wandered.
“No, because I love this kitten.” Soubi had a serious look on his face.
‘He apparently ‘loves’ everything with black ears…’ Ritsuka thought frowning.
“Its name is Ritsuka…” Soubi told him, getting the kitten out of the cage. This seemed sort of planned to Ritsuka. The kitten looked up at Soubi with big black eyes. He paid for it, and they left.
“You’re not going to be able to take it on the bus…” Ritsuka warned him. “And won’t Kio be angry if you just bring a kitten home?”
“No…” Soubi answered plainly. “And it’s okay if I walk. Are you coming too?”
“Yes…” Ritsuka said without thinking, he merely followed Soubi silently. A few minutes later while they were still walking, Ritsuka realized what Soubi had asked him. “No!” he said. Soubi looked at him questionably.
“No, what?” Soubi asked him.
“I’m not going to your apartment with you.” Ritsuka stated firmly.
“You won’t have to worry. Kio, Youji, and Natsuo are going to be there.” Soubi assured him.
“And that makes it any better?” Ritsuka raised an eyebrow.
“It’s supposed to…” Soubi smiled. Then the conversation was no more, and Ritsuka still followed him, with no more complaints, except a simple reminder of his curfew at 6:00. Ritsuka had been to Soubi’s apartment many times before. With just Soubi and Kio. And other times with Soubi, Kio, Youji, and Natsuo. So why did it feel so awkward now? Was it because of last night? Or all of those sleepless nights before that one? Ritsuka didn’t know for sure. But even with that in mind, he followed Soubi through the door.
“You’re home!” Kio jumped off of the couch, and lunged towards Soubi. He stopped in what seemed like mid-air when he saw Ritsuka. “What’s he doing here, Sou-chan?” Kio complained to his friend
“I invited him.” Soubi stated.
“Pervert…” Kio muttered before sitting back down on the couch.
“I’m not a pervert, Kio…” Soubi told him for what seemed like the thousandth time, sitting down beside of him. Soubi noticed Ritsuka still standing, and motioned for him to sit beside of them. He did as told. There was no television, so they just sat there silently for a minute.
“I have an idea!” Soubi half-yelled, raising up, putting his hand dangerously close to Ritsuka’s well… umm…
“What the Hell, Soubi!” Ritsuka stood up as well.
“I told you, he’s a pervert…” Kio told Ritsuka as if he had warned him, then he stood up as well.
“Let’s give Ritsuka a bath!” Soubi told them.
“Excused me?” Ritsuka looked dumbfounded. He had completely forgotten about the kitten until now, but Soubi picked the ball of fur up off of the floor and walked towards the bathroom.
“What’s he talking about? It sounds fun.” Kio stated.
“And who’s the pervert here?” Ritsuka asked angrily, but then got excited as he headed towards the bathroom as well. Soubi was already running the water.
“But won’t he scratch us?” Ritsuka asked. Soubi smiled at his enthusiasm to wash the kitten. He could tell that Ritsuka wasn’t around animals very often, but he knew enough to know that if you try to bathe a cat, it will scratch.
“If it trusts us it won’t.” Soubi replied. He carefully placed the kitten in the water, and it swam around very joyously. “We’ll need kitten shampoo.” He said, looking at Kio.
“And why are you looking at me?” Kio asked.
“The place is called Pat’s Pet Shop. It has a sign outside the store that says ‘buying a new pet can be fun. You must speak softly, move slowly, and touch gently.” Soubi stated to his friend, laughing a bit as he recalled the sign.
“So, you’re expecting me to get it?” he asked.
“Unless Youji or Natsuo can do it, yes. But we all know how that goes. They’ll never be able to make it within 500 feet of the pet store.” Soubi told him.
“They’re gone anyway. Why don’t you make Ritsuka go get it?” Kio questioned.
“Because he can’t make it back in time. He’s slower than you, and has a curfew at six. It’s five right now, and he’ll have to leave in about thirty minutes.” Soubi explained. Kio sighed, but did as Soubi had said.
“Soubi, it should be ok to use regular shampoo.” Ritsuka commented as soon as Kio left the bathroom, “He didn’t have to go all the way there.” The kitten was still swimming around merrily, and Soubi was silent. “Soubi?” Ritsuka said again, making sure he had heard him. Soubi’s head was down, and his hair was covering his eyes. “Soubi?” Ritsuka moved towards him, wandering why he wasn’t saying anything.
“Ritsuka…” Soubi whispered. Soubi looked up at him, and there were tears in his eyes. “You’re going to die. So please wake up.” Soubi warned him.
“Die? What are you talking about?” Was the last thing Ritsuka said before waking up. He was on Soubi’s couch, covered up with a blanket, and it was dark out.
