I Am Not A Traitor

by KuraiYuki-chan

I'm not good at summaries. This is a romance story between my two favorite Chronos numbers. There will be some yaoi but since a little yaoi shouldn't ruin a good story, I will put a warning before yaoi and a notice after so you don't have to read that if you would rather skip it.

Dark shadows danced around the room, following the fading light from the fireplace and the hunched over figure standing in front of it.

''So tomorrow it finally begins...'' He said softly. ''Soon there will be no more war, no more struggle.'' A silent figure rose from a floral patterned chair, walking slowly to stand beside the older man. ''The plans are all starting to come together at last.'' The younger man nodded, taking in every word as his black hair cascaded down his narrow shoulders.

''So am I to assume that Eden is completed?'' Asked the younger.

''Almost. We have just a few more things to finish, then all we need is that bioweapon, called Eve.'' He answered. ''You will be keeping an eye on her for a while longer, just until Creed has been finished off.''

''How? Tomorrow I will become a Chronos number, it will get hard to watch her continuously. The other numbers would start asking questions.''

''Easily done, during the introduction cerimony you will propose an idea.'' The younger man watched him warily. ''You will propose the idea of forming a group of sweepers to use as a distraction for Creed while the numbers go in when he is focused on them and eliminate him.''

''But what makes you think Creed will be more interested in them than us? We are a bigger threat...''

''That may be, but Creed is blind. He will be interested in the sweepers because Train Hartnet will be there, which I'm sure he will. Not only will Hartnet be there but Eve will be too.''

''Why do you think that Sephiria Arks, or the other numbers for that matter, will have any interest in listening to me?'' He asked curiously.

''Are you questioning my orders?'' The elder countered in a dangerous tone.

''No. Of course not Mason.''

''Good. Then you will do as your told.'' He said, turning away from the dimming fireplace to look at the younger man. ''Tomorrow's ceremony, your official introduction as a Chronos number, marks the begining of the end for Chronos. Soon Chronos will fall...''

''And the zero numbers will rise.'' Finished the younger eagerly.
