? P.O.V.

My name is Loveless.

I have a mission.

My mission is to find my other half.

Loveless.

My Sacrifice.

For I am a Fighter, and Fighters should never be without their Sacrifices.

A Fighter has gone rogue, taking my Sacrifice.

Beloved.

Return to me what is mine.

Ritsuka's P.O.V.

Soubi has been distant and anxious lately. I mean, he has been there to see me after school, but he just seems... not there. I have asked him about this, but he doesn't exactly respond. It is either "It's nothing of importance" or "It's nothing of concern." I want to know. I want to know what has been keeping him distant from me. Luckily, we haven't encountered Fighters and their Sacrifices in a while. I'm not sure what would happen if we were to encounter some while Soubi is distant.

"Ritsuka!"

I turn around at my name and see my pink haired friend. Yuiko Hawatari. Behind her, I see a glum boy behind her. Yayoi Shioiri. He loves Yuiko, but she rejected him. Kind of cruel, but I don't understand love.

Yuiko runs up to my side eagerly.

"Hey Ritsuka! Do you want to come to my house after school?"

"No," I said, rejecting her offer.

Yayoi shows up on my other side.

"Hey Yuiko! Can I go to your house after school," Yayoi asked, hoping for acceptance.

"No. I forgot that I had to do something with my family."

Again, Yayoi is heartbroken. I don't understand why she doesn't like him in return, and I just don't see why she attempts to pursue after me.

In a couple of minutes, we reach the school. Hopefully, Yuiko won't cause another scene in class about how I don't want to go do things after school with her. I also don't need to see Yayoi glaring at me for the millionth time.

I still can't get my mind off of Soubi's weird attitude lately.

Something is up...

And I am going to find out.
