I'm finally updating this story. To make it up to all of you, I plan on releasing another chapter in a jiffy. DEAR READERS, AN UPDATE ON MY OTHER STORY! I HAVE A FEW IDEAS ABOUT A PLOT FOR IT, SINCE IT'S BEEN PLOTLESS THIS WHOLE TIME! I'LL START WORKING ON IT THIS WEEK!... I hope...

Please enjoy this chapter of Daddy? Since I, myself is very pleased with the result.

He coughed, he spit out blood, he remorsed. Why was he so weak? Why was he too weak to stop himself in time, to stop himself from hurting those he held dear.

He was laying under a lot of rubble, a few bones broken, some internal bleeding, hearing voices approaching. But none of that mattered to him. He couldn't think straight, didn't even try to call for those strangely familiar voices. He didn't deserve to be helped. He had done something horrible, and now it had come back to bite him in the butt. Those words that he could hear in the back of his head, those stabbing words.

"I-I really liked you, Raven.. I couldn't tell you before.. But if my Dad were.."

Just what was the kid going to say? The kids face when he interrupted, when he stabbed.. He had broken the poor kid. When he had whispered those two words as the group retreated he was sure that Karol heard. But words are meaningless. That would probably just make things worse.

How he hated himself right now.

He really cared for Karol. Seeing him suffering by his sword.. Tears silently rolled down his cheeks. Yes, he wanted to die.

However, some people have something else in mind.

"CAPTAIN SCHWAAAAN!" LeBlanc called out at the top of his lungs.

"I say, we have come to rescue you!" Tweedle A called out, not as loud as his superior though. His throat would surely break.

"Captain Schwann, please, call us if you can hear us!" Tweedle B called.

A sob was what they got in response. They freezed at the spot, looking rather stupid the way they stood, but it was all in order to determine where the muffled sound came from.

Another sob.

They hurried in the direction of the sound, hearing other muffled sounds coming from down below, they started removing the rubble, piece after piece, LeBlanc digging the fastest.

When they finally reached down to their Captain, they quickly pulled him out of Baction, carefull not to hurt him further. It was rather awkward, seeing their captain crying like that.. After a few minutes they decided to try and snap him out of it and treat his wounds.

Tweedle A and B started to peel of his armor while LeBlanc tried to knock some sense into his Captain.

"Captain Schwann, please, snap out of it!" He said while slapping him lightly in the face. When Raven didn't react, but only continued to weep, he took a deep breath and leaned close to his Captains ears.

Then he yelled.

"SNAP OUT OF IT THIS INSTANT, SOLDIER!

Raven immediately snapped out of it, gazed shocked at LeBlanc, then realized the hot fluid running down his cheeks and hurriedly stopped the flow and cleaned his face with his now ungloved hands. LeBlanc and the Tweedles stood up and saluted their Captain while at the same time begging for forgiveness. He sat himself up.

"What the hell happened?" Raven asked, acting like he hadn't just cried in front of his men, paying no attention to their apologies.

They immediately silenced and LeBlanc responded "Sir, the building collapsed!"

"Well, that I already know. What I meant was, why are you guys here? How did ya find me in that big mess?" His slang-ridden speech slowly returning.

"Sir! Yuri and his friends came out of the building and told us everything." Tweedle B answered.

"... How were they all doin'?" Raven asked silently.

"I say, the little guy looked like an emotional mess, the others seemed sad too. But, I say, they should be alright." Tweedle A answered.

Raven felt a new wave of guilt washing over him. He made everyone sad. What should he do now?

"... Sir! Awaiting orders!" LeBlanc stated.

Raven couldn't decide. He would have listened to his heart but... Since he didn't have a heart that was a bit difficult. He thought it over and over again, could he really be so shameless as to show himself in front of them all? Would they be happy or angry? How would Karol react?

'Karol...' The name echoed in his head. He had to make it up to him.

That decides it.

"Where are they headed?" He asked, determined.

"I believe they went in search of Heracles." Tweedle B answered.

"Men, we have our heading. Now let's go." Raven ordered.

'Karol. I'll be there soon.'

*Sigh* I love the Schwann brigade. 3 PLEASE REVIEW! .
