I'm baaaaack!!! First of all I'd have to state that Weiß Kreuz belongs to me..... NOT! I'm only having fun with them when I need to break away from my daily life.

I'd also like to explain that this fic will contain several pieces. Each piece deals with some certain characters from the story. Up until now, I haven't had the thought of writing about Schwarz member. I use 3rd POV, but it doesn't mean that it can go freely about.... Each story will put the focus on one person, though it might be other people who got more space.

Now on to the fic......!!

Oh, by the way, the 1st Piece : [Aya] I Will Go With You All will be continued right after this chapter, because it still needs some adjustment.

Now on to the fic.... for real!!!!

2nd Piece : [Youji] Cat in the Cradle (Part 1?)

"Aya-kun, Youji-kun will make it, won't he?" an ash blond haired man stood with trembling hands. They were in some hospital room. The room was bright white and smelled like germicide. Sterile white, spotless.

Ken was lying in bed. The cut he received from Aya's katana didn't hurt as before. He leaned forward a bit and winced, "Don't worry, he will be OK." He rolled his eyes towards Aya. The man was sitting silently at the corner. "You're the only one who had seen him. How is he?"

Seeing that the red haired man didn't give any answer, Omi dashed forward to the man. "Aya-kun, he is going to be alright, isn't he?" His voice trembled. His round eyes were glazed and soon the pearly drops started to flow down his cheek.

"Hoy, I thought you said you wanted to kill the Omi Tsukiyono inside you," Ken grinned towards him.

"Aa… I'm sorry," he wiped his eyes and tried to lessen his sobs and make his breath more even. "But Youji-kun is…."

A knock on the door snapped the three of them. Omi hurried wiping his tears. His face was finally dried when the door opened, but there were still traces of sobs on his now stern face. "Excuse me, Mamoru-sama," Rex entered, "The doctor wishes to talk to you about Kudou."

Mamoru nodded. He turned and walked out the room.

"Wait!" Aya stood, stopping Mamoru and Rex to walk any further. "I also want to know about him. I believe Ken too." He rolled his eyes towards the ex-goal keeper and the brown haired man nodded in agreement.

The ash-blond considered it for a couple of moments before he nodded and ordered to Rex, "Tell the doctor to come to the room. After all Weiß deserves to know more about Youji rather than Takatori Mamoru."

"Understood." Rex walked out the door alone. The new Persia walked towards the window and leaned to it. With the light turned off, Ken was only able to see the silhouette of the youngest ex-Weiß member.

It didn't take long until a doctor came into the room. The old man explained about the severe injuries Youji had got from the school blast, and how there was something wrong with his brain that he might never wake up. Or even if he regained his consciousness, he might be having impairment.

"Is that all you would like to report?" Mamoru asked from the window.

"Yes, Sir."

"Omi…."

"Very well, then," He turned around to look outside, "Give him the best facilities in this hospital. Any other order will be given if needed." He drew out a sigh, "You are dismissed, Dr. Sakano."

The doctor bowed a little before he went out.


He moaned as he came into consciousness. The faint pain he felt at first became worsened as he stirred. He tried to get up and felt his head hurt more. "Where is this?" he asked, more to himself rather than to the nurse who was signaling the doctor to come.

"You are at the hospital. You were sent here a month ago," a woman voice heard from his side. "Um, do you remember your name?"

"My name…?" Youji tried to remember but he failed to recall any name, in fact he remembered nothing about him, as if his life was painted over with blankness. It was all white in his head. No name. No background. No memories. Nothing. "I… can't remember."

The nurse held out his hand and touched his arm. "Don't try too hard. Give it some time; you will regain your memory back."

Youji held up his head and looked into the nurse's face. Her smile somehow gave him a bit of peacefulness. He traced down her look and noticed a name, Itou Asuka. The name… it made him feel something leapt inside. The name… Asuka… he felt like he missed the name.



"Takatori-sama, the patient has regained his consciousness."

"Is that so? Is there any impairment or anything wrong with him?" For a couple of seconds there were worries in his voice.

"He is physically alright. But…."

"But?"

"He remembers nothing. Apparently his head injury gave him amnesia."

"I understand."

"Is there anything else we must do?"

"Just take care of him."

"What if he asked about the payment?"

"Tell him that it's a doctor's job to take care of the sick."

"Understood, Takatori-sama."

"Ah, wait!"

"Yes, Takatori-sama?"

"Let me know if there's any news."

"Yes, Sir."



It didn't take too long until Youji could stroll around the hospital. The building was placed in the suburban area. It was surrounded by houses and he could watch children going to school and mothers going to the market nearby. He found them amusing, like something he just discovered, that life was so simple.

But when he was alone, he tried to remember anything, but there was no use. He only got headache. All he knew was that he had been taken to the hospital by an unknown man and he was badly injured. The man remained a mystery. Nobody seemed to know who he was. And each time he asked about his description, they always gave different details. One nurse said that the man was tall and lean; others said he was fat and big. One doctor recalled the man to be nice and well-behaved; others said he was rude but kind. But it had been a month already; it was no surprise that nobody remembered. A hospital is more or less a public place; people always come and go.

"So you're here," said a gentle voice.

Youji looked up and saw the nurse that had taken care of him when he first woke up. She sat beside him and gave him a smile. "You would feel more confused if you try to remember," She turned his face from Youji and looked forward, "Now all you need is to look forward. Little by little, you will have to build your life. Isn't that more realistic rather than sitting here and only trying to remember your past. You are not living in the past, your life is in the future."

Youji looked at the woman in awe. She looked beautiful when she was speaking with her head held up high and certainty in her voice.

"Ah," the woman stopped suddenly, she turned back to Youji, "I'm sorry, I keep on talking without considering how you feel."

"No, it's okay."

The woman smiled to hear the answer, "My name is Itou Asuka. Nice to meet you."

"Asuka? It's a beautiful name."

"Thank you…."



"Takatori-sama."

"Yes?"

"About the patient…."

"Is there any trouble?"

"No, Takatori-sama."

"……"

"He is already making up his mind to start a new life."

"Good to hear about it."

"Anou…."

"Is there anything you'd want to ask?"

"Would you like me to set up a job for him?"

"As you please."

"……"

"Is there anything else?"

"……"

"If you have nothing more to say, please hang up the phone."

"Takatori-sama, he asked me to marry him."

"..!!!.."

"Takatori-sama?"

"Do you want to marry him?"

"Yes. If it pleases you…."

"……. Put me aside, Itou-san. Do you wish to marry him?"

"Yes."

"I understand. From now on he is no longer my concern. You don't have to call me anymore about him. Consider it as your private job."

"Understood, Takatori-sama."

"…… Anou, Itou-san," the voice softened.

"Yes?"

"Please, take care of Youji-kun."

"Understood."
