~Chapter 8~
Ken watched Kyou and Yahiko 'battle it out.' When Yahiko tripped Kyou, Ken stifled his laughter and looked away when Kyou gave him a glare.
"Is this the Kamiya Dojo?"
Ken froze. Schuldich?! He turned around and Schuldich grinned at him. "Looks like I found the right place."
"Eh? Who're you?!"
Schuldich gave Yahiko a 'LOOK' and turned to Ken. "Ken, come back home. Brad won't say it, of course, but he needs you there... And besides, who knows when you'll... change next..."
Ken shook his head. "NO. He told me to leave, so I left."
Schuldich grinned at him and laughingly said, "Ken, come on. I'll buy you lotsa Pocky."
Ken seemed to waver but he shook his head furiously. "YADA! I don't want to go back to Brad! He's MEAN!"
Schuldich sighed. "What do you expect, Ken? You worried him... He's worried about you whenever you're not with him."
A look of pain and sorrow and happiness and regret flashed across Ken's face before he gave Schuldich another glare. "Iie! Uso da!"
"Uso ja nai! Don't you know that he loves you?! Ken, you HAVE to come back home!"
Ken shook his head. "Iie! He's - ack!"
Ken stared at Schuldich, who glared at him. "I'm sorry I slapped you, Ken... but stop being such a child! He's worried sick, Ken... why won't you understand that he loves you? He only acts the way he does because you worried him..."
Suddenly, Ken's look of shock turned into a look of pure hatred. He shouted, "SCHWARZ!" and threw himself at Schuldich. Schuldich dodged him and stared at Ken. Ken gave him a venomous look and threw a punch at him. Schuldich blocked and gave Ken a quick kick, knocking him away.
Ken stood, groaning softly. "Ite... Nani...? Did... I just... try to hit you, Schu...?"
Schuldich stared at Ken. "Ken, come here."
Ken stepped forward, trembling.
"Get away from him!" Kyou was about to pull Ken away when Ken shook his head. "Iie... he won't hurt me... Daijoubu..."
Schuldich hugged Ken gently, saying, "What just happened?"
Ken trembled harder now, and he stammered, "I-I d-don't know, Sh-schu..."
"Come on, let's go home..."
"Is something wrong de gozaru?" Kenshin peered into the dojo with a worried look. Ken gave him a smile.
"Iie... I think I'll go home now, Kenshin-san..."
Kenshin smiled. "You're welcome here any time, Ken-san."
"Hai, arigatou... Ja, Yahiko-kun, Kyou-kun."
Kyou and Yahiko nodded, looking worried. Ken gave them a smile. "Don't worry... I'll come see you guys real soon, ok?"
They nodded and Ken left with Schuldich.

Ken sat on the sofa, trembling still. Crawford was on the floor, kneeling before Ken. He looked up into Ken's face and he gently stroked his hair.
"Ken... calm down. I won't yell at you. I was too harsh before... I was wrong, I'm sorry."
Ken gave him a tentative smile but his shaking continued. "Are you cold Ken? Do you want me to get you a blanket?"
Ken nodded and Nagi went to go get a blanket. Crawford hugged Ken, sighing. "I missed you..."
Ken nodded and he gasped suddenly. "I-ite!"
He grabbed onto Crawford tightly as he started to glow. Crawford winced at the pain brought on by Ken's grip but didn't try to move away. A couple minutes later, the glow faded and Ken sighed. He pulled away from Crawford and accepted the blanket that Nagi brought him.
"I... I'm still a brat, aren't I?" Schuldich laughed and said, "Yea, being nineteen doesn't seem to make you much more mature than seventeen, Ken."
Ken stuck his tongue out at Schuldich. "Ne, can I have some chocolate?"
Schuldich nodded and went to go find some. When he returned, he was shocked to find Ken attacking Crawford. Nagi was on the floor, knocked out.
"Hit him, Brad! That's how he snapped out of it last time!"
Crawford gave him a look and Schuldich sighed. *What, can't hurt your beloved little KenKen?*
*Would you be able to hurt Yohji?*
*Got a point there. Here, let me.*
*NO! You're not -*
Before Crawford could finish his thought, Schuldich punched Ken across the face. Ken fell to the ground and he groaned. "Ite... why'd you hit so hard, Schu?"
Schuldich sighed and pulled him up by an arm. "We have to figure out what the hell's going on with you. What happened while I was getting the chocolate?"
Schuldich attempted to revive Nagi as Crawford spoke. "You left and a couple seconds later, Ken got a pissed off look on his face. He just jumped at Nagi and when Nagi blacked out - he hit his head on the wall - he came after me."
Ken was trembling again. "Sumimasen! I don't... I don't why I did that!"
Crawford hugged him and he said, "Sh... It's probably a side-affect of that weird chemical... why don't we call your teammates over and we'll work on it. For now, just go to sleep."
Ken nodded and went to the room that he shared with Crawford.
[Moshi moshi?]
"It's me."
[What do you want, Oracle.]
"All of you need to come over now. Especially Bombay. Ken's acting a little strangely."
[Strange how.]
"Abyssinian, just get over here with your other teammates."
[Fine. We'll be there within an hour.]
At the Koneko, Ran glared at the receiver as he slammed it down. "Looks like we need to go over. Something's wrong with Ken."
TBC.......
-.- review, onegai! i kno, i kno, this is a weird, OOC chapter... but then, i didn't want to end it and for some odd reason, the thought of Ken having violent tendencies intrigued me... -.-" DON'T ask me why, I'll just confuse you AND myself even more... anyways, review, onegai-shimasu!
