-- The usual 'bells' of the flower shop door were heard --

"I'm sorry, but we're closed for..." Omi's voice faded off when Sakura walked into the flower shop. He stared at the clock. 11 p.m.?

"I'm terribly sorry. Would like to speak to Aya for a second."

The other three members of Weiß raised their heads. "Oh..Aya. Good taste," Yohji said, taking out a pair of blue shades from his pocket and putting them on for no apparent reason. Ken slammed his right palm onto Yohji's mouth. However, they were of no interest to Sakura. She turned her head to Aya with her ever-innocent eyes staring straight into Aya's, only to receive his usual cold stare.

Everyone seemed to have frozen. All was silent except for the water coming out of Aya's watering can. He didn't seem to care about the roses drowning in the water though. "I suppose we have to get some sleep eh Ken?" "But..." Yohji uttered under his breath. Ken immediately stuffed his fist into Yohji's mouth. "Um," Ken replied, trying to sound as 'natural as possible. Dragging Yohji with them, Ken and Omi walked away, leaving Aya and Sakura alone. Aya continued with the watering, deliberately trying to avoid the stare of Sakura.

Sakura had found out Aya's real identity the night before. She discovered that standing beside a professional killer was rather creepy, but she didn't care much. An awkard feeling overcame her. Dashing all the way here just to tell him her innermost feelings was silly. Standing beside her crush, tongue-tied, just because they were alone was even sillier. Was she to leave or just tell him everything? Her mind was in a whirl. Although her heart was thudding madly in her tight chest, it was silent to her...far too silent.

Thoughts raced through Sakura's mind, She closed her eyes and clenched her fists, trying to gain enough courage. She had to tell him this. She just had to. Aya wasn't the one she had once known. She now knew Aya - as a Weiß member. His precious life was at stake every single time he went on a mission. She had seen him killing. His hands were stained with blood of countless lives. She tried to shake off the thought. The risk of HIM getting killed was too huge. She decided to say it, whilst Aya was still alive, whether she liked it or not. "Aya," Sakura said suddenly but gently, after several minutes of silence. Aya put down his watering can and for the second time that night, he faced her. Now starring at the person of her dreams, Sakura yearned to run her fingers through his red hair and for him to hold her in his arms forever, eternally. Although she knew it was IMPOSSIBLE. Taking a deep breath in, the words," Aishiteru!" ejected from her lips.

Everything seemed to been spinning [anime style of course] Sakura hugged him. Never in her life did she have this feeling - the feeling of needing to be loved and cared for. The urge was just too strong. Aya shrugged. Sakura's eyes widened. He was pushing her away from him. She couldn't believe it. How could this possibly be? She squeezed him tightly as though it was the end of the world. "Sakura, get a hold of yourself!" Aya's voice suddenly pierced the surroundings. He pushed Sakura onto the ground and looked around to make sure the nosey Yohji was not around. He knew it would be disastrous if he was. Aya cupped his face into his hands, feeling depressed. Sakura's eyes shone and glittered with tears.

"A cold-blooded creature like me neither deserves to love or be loved. I'm a professional killer, and you DO know that. I kill mercilessly, unperturbed about the blood of countless lives that has stained my hands. I'm not fit for you, go find someone else," Aya exploded.

The tears that had welled up in Sakura's eyes were now flowing down her face freely but uncontrollably. Words that came from Aya's mouth "I'm a professional killer, and you DO know that!" echoed distinctly in her mind over and over again. They had hurt her deep within. She wondered if she had done the right thing by telling him the truth.

Aya stood still. He could feel the presence of him, [that damned guy from Schwarz] . "Cool Aya, never expected a girl to cry for you," a voice uttered softly into his right ear. Aya regained his composure and looked around. Was he just imagining? "Yohji, Ken, Omi!" he shouted. The three guys came dashing. Ordering Omi to ensure the safety of Sakura, Aya took a deep breath. "Aya, no! Don't leave me!" Sakura screamed as Omi pulled her up. Aya tried to keep his mind clear and as soon as Omi had disappeared from the flower shop with Sakura, it meant business. The lights went out.

While the Weiß members stood back to back, examining every corner of the shop, a plea for help rang high into the night outside. "Sakura~~!" Aya thought as he lifted up his head. He suddenly realized how important Sakura was to him, he couldn't let anything happen to her...
