A.N. -Hey everyone this is my first time positing on ff.net so go easy on
me, I started this fic originally for some content on my web page so sorry
if there are any spelling/grammar errors, my prowess in that subject has
never been that good ^.^.
Disclaimer: Unfortunately I don't own Weiss or Slayers (oh but if I did
*sighs* ehehe), so the only thing I can say even remotely belongs to me is
the twisted and over used plot line that was inspired by a fic I read long
long ago. So of course in that I have to thank Madam Hydra (wherever she
is) for writing and inspiring my own brand of insanity ^.^ Anyways!!
Warnings: Nothing to warn about so far really, other than possible SPOILERS
for both series' and possible shonen ai and possibly yaoi in later chapters
(Yay! *does a little dance*), plus Xellos, being. well Xellos and hitting
on anyone and making innuendoes out of everything XD. Oh yeah and I
appolagize ahead of time for any OOCness that may occur in the fic. ON
WARDS WOMEN!!! And MEN!!! *cackles*
Blood is Thicker: Chapter 1 By Hekikuu
It started like any other briefing would, like any other mission would for that matter. Manx coming in just before closing, letting Yoji's passes roll off her like water off a duck's back. However, they should've clued into the fact that something was up when Manx left for a couple of seconds and came back with a hooded stranger. Or perhaps when the strangely comforting digital Persia termed their enimy a demon rather than the usual dark beast. Or even when, although the mission would take longer than usual (something without a definate timeline that hinted at an undercover mission), the ' the fate of the entire world depends upon the actions of Weiß from this moment on' line was Persia's final words. "Wouldn't they just send someone else in after if the mission failed?" Ken asked as the lights came back on. "If this were a normal mission, yes. However this is not a normal mission, nor is your target a normal target. And there's no backing out." Said Manx crossing her arms and leaning against the wall. "And we don't even get a choice this time either." Yoji smiled and lit up a cigarette. "Man this mission sucks. No chicks, no choice, no backing out, this Yami dude better be some big shot." "Who is he then?" Aya asked, nodding towards the man who stood at the bottom of the stairs, cloack's hood shadowing his face. "I get the feeling he's not an undercover informant." "Aa, he's not. But none the less he's part of your mission." Yoji snorted. "What does Aya have to seduce him??" "Yoji-kun, that's not very...." Omi began, Ken laughing silently behind him. "Yare, yare," the man finally spoke. "But as attractive as Ran-chan is I'm well... can't really say married but... I have a LONG standing commitment. Uhhh..." Anything else the nameless man had been about to say fell, they'd obviously not heard anything after he'd called Aya, 'Ran' and to make matters worse, it seemed, he'd added '-chan' to then end of it. All eyes were on Ran, well Aya as he was called, waiting for him to skewer the unknown man on his katana. "Who are you?!?!" Aya asked leathally, as he pushed the man against the wall by his throat, knocking his hood off in the process. Hood now gone, all could see the mocking smile which was plastered on the man's face. Eyes closed and half concelled by his purple bangs, the man radiated an insincerity they hadn't noticed when he'd had the hood covering his face. "Aya-kun!" Omi cried standing up. The man's eyes opened reveiling slit purple orbs that seemed to make his smile even more mocking, and despite his present situation they shined like he was enjoying himself. "Sore wa..." "Say it, and I'll tell oka-san." Manx spat. "Aww, sis you ruin all my fun." he groaned, smiling at her over Aya's scarlet head. "..." Three mouths dropped open as Ken, Yoji and Omi looked at the two. Aya, on the other hand, stoicly repeated his question. "Who are you?" "Xellos Metallium at your service!" The man's eyes shut again and he held up a finger. "Could you let me go now, I can expalin everything. And I won't run away I promise." Aya gave a questioning glance to Manx, who nodded, and Aya let of his hostage and returned to sitting back on the couch. "Explain.." "Maa maa, one word sentances, you're just as bad as Zelgadis..." He waggled his finger in Aya's general direction, earning a deeper glare. "Zelgadis?" Omi asked, seeming to be the first of the others to regain his voice, gave Manx a questioning look. "Don't ask me he's my older brother, I wasn't born then." She shrugged. "You'll meet him later don't worry." Xellos took a seat on the stairs and lit up a cigarette, looking much like Yoji in his laid back mannerism. "I thought you quit, you know Fillia-san's not going to like that." Manx said quietly, the others joined Omi in the puzzled look department. "You'll meet her later too." "I did, "he said looking about the room. "And then I started again, it's not like it can kill me." Omi and Ken simotaniously groaned and shook their heads. "You sound exactly like Yoji-kun!" Omi exclaimed, giving said offender a look. "What it's not like it can. We're assasins, I'll probably die in a mission before smoking can kill me!" Yoji defended. "Anyway!" Ken began, stopping the potential debate. "What's this mission about, we don't know anything about it other than the target, this Yami person. Usually we get a little more info. than the dude's name." "Heh, okay I'll tell you. But first you have to answer my question. Do you believe in the supernatural?" "Nani?" Yoji sat up. "The supernatural, you know ghosts, monsters, mazoku(demons), ryuzoku(dragons). More importently majick." Xellos gave them a slit eyed glance that radiated seriousness. "Ummm... I dunno, we've seen some really weird shit in our days, people who've had their DNA altered, psycics, precogs... Nothing that you'd really call majick though." Ken said looking to the others for support. "So you don't believe then?" He gave them another cold stare. "No." Aya said finally. Xellos sighed. "Well, that's going to make this mission harder then. Ne Manx-chan?" "Not that much, I told you not to expect them to believe." She replied shaking her head. "Yare yare. But how are they supposed to understand if they don't believe? I suppose I could show them..." "I think that may overwhelm them just a little much, human lives are short, and thus they might not be able to fathom the things you would tell them. They might if you gave them a demonstration though." "What are they talking about. And where does Manx get off talking like that, she's human too." Yoji whispered to the other three and Manx and Xellos continued their discussion. "I have no clue... this all way over my head." Ken commented watching the two. "I guess I could, " Xellos continued. "But that's not really the majick they need to see, I wish we could wake Lina-chan or Amelia-chan up... they'd be able to show them what they need to see." Manx rubbed her chin in thought for a second contemplating their options, finally she said: "Well why don't you just tell them about Yami and give them a day to digest that. Then you can take them there." "Naru hodo..." Xellos smiled. "You know, people don't like us don't like having people talk about them over their heads." Yoji pointed out. "Really?" he directed the grin towards the others. "Well sorry about that, I'll try and remember that for next time. Now sit back down, I'm afraid we're going to be here for a long time." Everyone, except for Aya sat. Manx gave him a look. "You know he wasn't kidding, it's a long story." "I'll stand." For emphasis he leaned against the wall. "Fine suit yourself." Xellos took a deep breath. "Now, where to begin... Yes well the beginning always suffices, so I'll start there..."
