I had met some one new, it all started with a kiss on a hand. Further more it lead to something different.  Her looks were just like Ritsuka. Almost a copy. What I should have done was tell her the truth. But I kept it in side. "Here, take this" I gave her a phone. "And just to let you know I will always answer when you call" The same thing I said to Ritsuka.

I layed back in bed and checked my address book. Ritsuka, Kio, and her. I closed it  And a shine of a tear hit my eye. I gazed at the ceilling. Until it hit me. "Am I cheating on Ritsuka? The Loveless I know?"

I was in deep pain, after that...

"Beloved?" Natsuo, came and saw me cry. "Something the matter?" I ignored Zero and turned around clenching the mark that was on my neck. Real pain...

The chess board was clean. All but me, Zero, and my Loveless. The man was gone. "So wanted to stick a nail in him. So bad" Zero; Youji whined. He did take a lot of hits for me."I say Zero; you took most of my hits." I complimented him. He smiled, "Thats what we Zero are."

"Soubi" Ritsuka cried for me, running to me. My Ritsuka, crying. Wanting to puts all his troubles away. I kneeled down and he tackled me, with a big hug. "Soubi...I was scared..."

"Shh...I offically declare. This spell battle over." The enviroment around us, changed back to normal. I picked up Ritsuka and gave him a kiss on the cheek. And I walked him with Zero to my house. And rested.

"Do you accept this spell battle?" The man asked. The wind blew hard, and it gave a cold sting in my back. "Fine" I accepted.  I was ready for came to me. All I wanted was my beautiful boy Ritsuka.

"Then let us begin!" The area around us became a dark and polar like. And ice objects were all around us. More like chess peices. I was the king, and Zero next to my was queen. Fighter and Sacrifice. Zero was freezing to death. I could tell because his skin was turning white.

I took my scarf off and wrapped it around him. I took off my glasses too becuase they were fogging up. It must have been 30 degrees be low.

I took the first move and moved my pawn. "Your move," I said. This was a game of...

Death...And we were in it too...

"Beloved?" Zero, or Youji called for me from behind. He wasn't with his other piece of him.  "What are you doing? Why is not Loveless with you?" He questioned me, holding a ragg doll with him. "Wheres the other Zero?" I asked back, "...kids like you, shouldnt be wandering."

"One, I'm bored. Two, He's home." Zero snapped back at me like a little girl. I pointed to the Manic man with my Love. "Thats the the problem," and he's begging for "fun" I looked back at Zero and he gave a evil smirk, "Then let 'us' give him what he wants." Zero said, "I wanna stick a nail into his hand."

"You....and me....Zero? Fight? Them? I cant fight my Love." I was confused for the first time. Fight who I love and protect? 

"You want your Loveless? You fight for him, like I fight my Natsuo," Youji said, taking out his nail and hammer. "You ready because who ever that person is, looks like he is."

Am I ready? What am I ready for? Do I really wanna do this?  

"Love!" I called out Ritsuka's name. I havent seen  him in days. I wonder where he is. "My love where are thou?!" I yelled out again. But no answer came back to know where he was. Now, this is unusal. He's always here at the school. Maybe he's late or something. I looked at my watch, "4:30.." I said to myself, "He's an hour and thirty minutes late?" I was worried, something could have happend to him. Nothing could have, he never leave without me. The next thing you know my phone was ringing.

"Hello?" I answerd, it didnt have Ritkuka's number so it must have been a stranger. "Down the ally, 6:00. Late, he dies..." The man hung up. Some one kidnapped my Ritsuka, No one messes with my Ritsuka. I hung up the phone and walked to where the location was told to be.

I walked to where this ally was, it was getting cold so I pulled up more on my scarf. Every step I took it was getting colder. Colder, and colder until I cold see my breath. I reached my mark a little early, "5:59........6:00....now where are they?" A light breeze hit behind my neck, then to my ear. I kept hearing a somesor t of whislte or something. I didint know what it was, but it was a voice.

"Earlier than I suspected Soubi," A man with a little boy, I didnt focus on the man too much, but on the little boy. I eyed him or it. It kept looking down. Wagging it tail. Who was he? I took a beter look with my glasses. And I couldnt belive it. My "Loveless Ritsuka."

"What the hell is going on?" I was totally confused, the man laughed and said, "Just a little fun were about to have." He looked up at me with crazed eyes, laughing hestericly.
