What's Up?
By An Emotionless Bishounen
Part I. The Mission
The Flower Shop was closed early for the boys had a mission to undergo. "You're looking better each day, Manx. What's your secret?" Youji asked as the older woman came down the spiral stairs. "Put a sock in it, Youji," Manx retorted to the blonde pervert. "Oooh…"
"So what's up, Manx?" Omi asked sitting on the couch across from the TV. "A major case. A clan going by the name of Ravenna is smuggling drugs. The chimera virus is being held in the Science Institute for further research. If the Ravenna clan gets their filthy hands on this virus, it will be the end of mankind," Manx ended, popping a videotape into the VHS player and pushing play. It showed what the chimera virus could do in a matter of hours.
"That is disgusting, Manx!" Ken said holding his mouth and running towards the bathroom. "I know. Only one person knows the cure," the older woman said, turning the VHS off and facing her crew. Ken came back from the bathroom and sat back down where he was before.
She handed each one a folder that contained the information on who the person was. "Nicola Thomson. She is the one who founded chimera. Accidentally doing this as an investigatory experiment for chemistry. After testing it on animals, she found that it was also deadly for men," Manx said as the boys checked her data.
"So our job is…?" Youji left the sentence hanging, looking up at the older woman. "Your job is to protect her and the virus from being taken into the hands of the wrong people," she answered. "So our mission is to become baby sitters?!" Aya asked, a hint of annoyance in his voice.
"It's not like that. You just have to watch over her. There will be a convention for Ms. Thomson to introduce the virus and it's cure. It will be held tonight at the Tokyo Tower," Manx said laying the newspaper on the coffee table. The headline was just what Manx had said. "Most probably the Ravenna have found this out and plan to take her and the virus with them out of here."
Aya closed the folder and laid it on the coffee table. He stood and walked into his room. "I'm not yet finished," Manx said staring at Aya. He stopped in his tracks. "What else do you want to say?" Aya asked, the annoyance in his voice not changing. "This is no ordinary mission," Manx said not looking away from Aya. Manx popped another tape into the VHS player and pushed play.
Persia's silhouette came into the screen. "Boys, this is a very risky situation so I suggest that you go undercover as scientists, waiter, and a couple," he said.
"A couple?! Who that hell would think that two of us can become a couple?!" Youji complained.
Manx turned the tape off and hit Youji on the head. "Of course we thought of that! So we got another assassin to play the part," Manx said.
Suddenly, the people in the room heard a pair of heels clicking coming down the metal spiral stairs. "Boys, meet Tiarra," Manx introduced as the boys turned to see a brunette coming down the stairs. Her hair was long and straight; it actually came down until the bottom of her butt. She wore a navy blue leather spaghetti strap dress that came up to mid-thigh. Her skin was of a fair complexion. But what caught each boy's eyes were her piercing blue eyes. She was like a younger version of Manx but more beautiful. (No offence to those who like Manx)
"Hello," her smooth voice rang in the guys' ears.
"You're an assassin?" Youji asked not believing what he was hearing.
She just nodded.
"But you look like you're just 16 or 17," Ken said walking around her as if he was a vulture in his past life.
She glared at him. "If you think I'm young, then why don't you kick that kid out of here?"
Everybody looked at Omi. "Come to think of it…" Ken said, considering the fact.
"And besides, I'm just as old as you are Mr. Hidaka," she said walking up to him and running her index finger down his chest in a seductive kind of way. She grinned seeing what Ken's reaction was.
"She can be a real killer Ken. Watch out for her," Manx advised.
"I can see that," he said moving away from Tiarra. Tiarra just laughed.
"You didn't tell me they were so kawaii!" she said facing Manx.
"Well, I kinda got used to it," Manx said walking towards the stairs and turning back to face the group. "This will be the plan. Since Tiarra has found a liking to Ken, you two will play as the couple. Aya and Youji will play as the scientists and Omi…" she saw the pout in Omi's face. She chuckled.
"Good luck on the mission guys," Manx said walking up the stairs.
"Thanks Manx!" Only Tiarra was the one who called out.
"So who's up for pizza?" Tiarra asked looking at the four boys just staring at her.
Ken: This is going to be a long mission… He walks into his room.
Omi: Waiter again? He walks into the computer room.
Aya: … He sweat drops
Youji: Why can't I be this girl's couple? He sits on the couch in front of the TV.
Tiarra: What flavor of pizza would these guys like? She walks towards the phone.

A/N: Tiarra is my personal character. No one will take her from me! Actually, this character is actually me in my friend's story… just liked the name. She's not a dumb blonde, OK? 'Coz she's not a blonde… Well, you know what I mean. She's just like that because… read the next parts. Don't own Weiss Kreuz.
