Chapter 4: Schwarz Strikes!

*Last time*

"Well, well, well. If it isn't the Weiss kittens," Schuldig smirked as he and Nagi walked up to them.

*This time*

"What do you want, Schwarz?" Aya growled. He tensed prepared for battle and saw his team mates doing the same. He shifted a bit to cover Ranko from any harm. She didn't seem to notice being too busy with her food.

"Nothing in particular. Care to introduce the beautiful tenshi?"

Ranko finally looked up and saw an orange haired man and a young boy with brown hair. She couldn't understand anything but she didn't like the way they were looking at her. "Yes? Can I help you?" she asked arching an eyebrow.

"Yes, you can. What's your name, beautiful?" Schuldig flirted.

"Don't answer him," Aya said sternly.

"Oh, I'm hurt. All I wanted was the young lady's name."

"Go away, Schuldig. We have no business with you," Yohji said darkly.

But Schuldig just ignored Yohji and said to Ranko. "May I have your name?"

Ranko glared at him. "No, you may not."

Schuldig smirked at her attitude and searched her mind....only to find a very strong mental shield which he couldn't break. He was shocked that this girl could protect her mind so well. He focused back to the girl and saw her grinning.

Ranko felt the mental probe and strengthened her mental shield. She had great control of her mind through meditation and she had learnt to develop it throughout her...torture. She's also able to use telepathy but couldn't use it before because she was too weak from the blood loss and exhaustion but now her strength was coming back. She grinned at Schuldig shocked expression. "What's the matter? Can't find your way in?" she taunted.

"I'm surprised you have a very strong mental shield. Not even Crawford's is that good."

The members of Weiss and Nagi looked at him in shocked. /Schuldig, the Mastermind, couldn't probe her mind?/ was the general thought in their mind.

Schuldig, of course, heard this and wasn't very pleased. He redoubled his efforts to break the girl's shield but he failed. He was furious although he kept the same smirk on his face.

Nagi, after living with him for many years, recognised it when Schuldig is angry. A pissed German telepath is a very bad thing. He started backing away slowly. The members of Weiss noticed this and tensed up preparing for battle.

"What's the matter, Schuldig? Too hard for you to handle?" Ranko teased some more. She was enjoying this immensely.

The others looked at her horrified. Does she want to die?

"Ko-chan, be quiet!" Aya hissed.

Ranko flashed him the Don't-worry-I-can-handle-this look. Of course, this did not reassure Aya and he took a step towards her when he heard in his mind. ~Ran-niichan, don't worry. I'm more than a match for that German playboy.~

Aya looked at his sister stunned.

Ranko saw his expression and smiled. She turned back to the fuming German telepath. "Come on, a weak little girl like me shouldn't be a match for you, Mr. Mastermind."

Schuldig stared at her. /How did she know my codename?/

~Simple, I probed your mind. I'm very disappointed. A great telepath like you should have a stronger mental shield.~

Schuldig jumped at the telephatic communication sent to him by Ranko. He glared at her. "Who are you?"

"Me? I'm just a weak little girl," she smirked.

Schuldig rushed at her and grabbed her collar, lifting her up a foot above the floor. Aya moved in to intercept, growling at the German's treatment of his sister but an invisible shield stopped him. He glared at Nagi who created the shield. Nagi looked at him calmly and said, "Don't interfere or you'll regret it. Anyway it looks like she could handle it."

Aya growled again but didn't do anything. He turned back to look at the scene unfolding. /Schuldig, if you harm her in anyway, I will kill you./ he thought, knowing that the German telepath will be able to hear him.

But if Schuldig heard him, he gave no indication of it. He was busy glaring at the red headed girl who had no expression of fear on her face. "Answer me!"

"Now that is for me to know and for you to find out," Ranko grinned. She was thoroughly enjoying this.

Schuldig snarled in frustration and moved his free hand to slap the annoying redhead but it was intercepted by another hand belonging to the girl. He tried again but she gripped his hand tight and wouldn't let go. /Damn, she has a strong grip./

The girl smirked and said, "Why thank you. Would you mind letting me go or should I hurt you first?"

Schuldig snorted. There was no way a girl could beat him.

Ranko saw his expression and knew he what he was thinking without even using telepathy. ~Wanna bet?~ she sent the thought to him.

Schuldig heard the telephatic message and before he could react, he was suddenly lying on the floor with Ranko on top him smiling. It wasn't a nice smile. He struggled but Ranko wasn't a pushover. "Gotcha!" she said.

Nagi and Weiss watched in shock at the girl who defeated Schuldig easily. Then the shock turned into amusement when they heard the German cursing in many different languanges while the girl continued bouncing in her position on his chest. Soon they couldn't hold it it anymore and burst out laughing. Well, Yohji and Ken were laughing hysterically. Aya smirked, while Omi and Nagi tried to maintain a straight face but failing miserably.

"Oh my God, Schuldig got beaten by Aya's little sister. This is too much," Yohji gasped out before joining Ken on the floor laughing again.

Schuldig flushed in anger and growled at the bouncing girl. But he stopped at the sight of her chest bouncing up and down. He kept staring at them drooling.

Ranko bounced happily on top of her victim. She stopped when she saw where he was staring. "Hentai!" she screamed before she slapped him and got off.

Schuldig was shaken out of his reverie by her slap. He nursed his bruised cheek and pouted, "What was that for?"

"That was for staring at my breasts, you pervert!"

Aya heard this and snarled, "How dare you defile my sister! SHI-NE!" with that he lunged at the German telepath intent on killing or at least maiming him. His eyes burning brightly with fury.

Schuldig opted to run this time. He had never seen Abyssinian that mad before. "Well, as much as I wanted to stay and chat we have to go now. Ja." However before he left, he stole a quick kiss from a surprised Ranko. He then hightailed (AN: LOL! Can you imagine Schuldig hightailing? Bwahahaha ^O^) out of there with Nagi following. He didn't notice the furious expression on Ranko's face. Her aura was burning brightly around her and the chairs were melting from the heat. Aya stopped in his tracks when he saw his sister. "Ko-chan! Calm down before you destroy everything!" he shouted.

Ranko didn't react at first then slowly her aura started to dissipate and her expression turned calm again. She looked at the mass destruction of the place and sweatdropped. "Heh, heh, heh. Oops?"

Massive group facefault even Aya was not immune. They heard police sirens in the distance. Apparently, one of the employers called the police when a fight broke out between Ranko and Schuldig. They quickly got out of the place.

After fifteen minutes of running, they arrived at 'Kitty in the Bag' (AN: Could somebody please tell me the Japanese name?). They went upstairs and sat in the living room. All of them except Ranko were exhausted from the day's events. Suddenly, they heard growling. They turned to look at the blushing Ranko.

"Umm, do you have anything to eat?" she asked.

Aya chuckled, remembering how much she usually eats. The others looked at her with their mouths hanging open.

"You're still hungry?" Yohji asked incredulously.

She nodded.

Omi was the first to recover. "I'll take you to the kitchen," he offered.

"Thank you. I don't believe we have been properly introduced. I'm Ranko Fujimiya."

"I'm Omi Tsukiyono. The blond one is Yohji Kudou and the brown haired one is Ken Hidaka."

"Nice to meet you all. Come on, Omi-kun, I'm hungry." She dragged Omi from the living room in search of the kitchen.

Omi blushed at the contact and the nickname.

Yohji stared at their disappearing forms. "Man, she's hot."

He realised a bit too late that it was the wrong thing to say when he found the pointed end of Aya's sharp katana directed at him.

"Now, now, Aya, I'm sure we could talk about it calmly." That said he ran from the room like a bat out of hell with Aya following close behind shouting, "SHI-NE!"

Ken stared dumbly at the retreating pair. "Huh?"

Replies to reviews

'Stardog' - I'm glad you enjoyed it. I want the curse to be a surprise so hope you can handle the waiting.

'Bright Shadow' - I'm back! Yes! I hope you like this chapter. It has a lot of Schu in it.

'Nightwings' - Yes, life do suck. Last week I found out I failed my maths analysis task. My parents won't be happy *cringe*. Enjoy this chapter!

'Romilly McAran' - You should be happy now. Schu won! And don't worry, there will be more from the Schwarz boys.

'Lady Adako and LadyWatery' - Thank you! Glad you liked it. Ranko could eat an elephant when she's hungry. She is a growing girl you know ^-^. Thanks a lot for the info. I really appreciate it. As for why Schu and Nagi were staring at Ranko.......it's in the next chapter.

'SheFury, Ranaya, Firaga, FireGoddess and Friends' - As I said before, she could eat an elephant when she's hungry. The theory is that all the food she eats turned into the energy she uses to generate a battle aura and do all those fancy trick. She also won't ever get fat because she move around a lot. Not fair!
