Furry VI

Slowly but surely Schuldig woke out of his unconsciousness. He was lying in
a
bed; he could feel that. He heaved his hand into the air and let it sink
onto
his forehead. His whole body hurt like hell, but he wasn't sure why. Slowly
he
opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling. The redhead immediately noticed
that
the warm presence of the little kitten was missing from his arms.
Where was Crawford? Normally he waited until Schuldig woke up.

/Scheiße!/ Schuldig cursed as he remembered what happened. Weiß had
Crawford!
He tried to jump up, but was stopped by something or holding him down to the
bed. Looking to the side he saw Nagi. The boy was smiling wryly.

"You shouldn't stand up yet, Schuldig. The poison was very potent, you
should
be glad that you're even alive. As it is, you've been asleep for nearly two
days," Nagi said quietly.

/Let go of me, chibi, I won't stand up,/ Schuldig promised. He hadn't calmed
down yet but he realized that it really wasn't a good idea to stand up.

"But..."

The telepath made puppy eyes.
/Come on Nagi-chan... I'll be good!/

The telekinetic huffed in defeat and let his hold on the German go.

/Danke!/

Omi was in the kitchen, looking at the kitten on the table in front of him.
The
little animal was quivering and staring back at him. The youth extended his
hand
to the kitten, but it just backed away. Omi just smiled.

"I not amazed that you're so shy. After being with those Schwarz
lunatics..."
Omi said knowingly. The American couldn't suppress a hiss. Aya came in at
that
moment.

"Aya-kun!" Omi smiled and stood up.

The redhead's eyes darkened at seeing the kitten and he scowled even more
than he normally did.

"That Schwarz animal... Why didn't you get rid of it yet?" He asked and
leaned on the doorframe. Omi shrunk down in front of the older man.

"Anou... Aya-kun... I... um... we can't just leave the kitten alone can we?
You
wouldn't want to set such a small animal out onto the streets, would you?"

Aya huffed. "No Omi, I wouldn't put it out onto the streets- I'd kill it!"
he told the blond. Crawford suddenly got a sinking feeling in the pit of his
stomache. Omi's eyes widened as they started to wobble.

"Aya-kun, you can't do something that horrible to something so cute,
adorable, and innocent!" the young blond said, picking up the kitten from
the table and pulling him towards his chest. The American hissed and
scratched at the Weiß boy. He didn't want to be held like this by anyone
other than Schuldig.
Omi just patted his head and carried him up to his room.

"We'll keep him, Aya-kun! It's just a kitten." With that the youngest Weiß
closed the door to his room.

Crawford didn't feel good at all with one of his enemies in the room...
and without Schuldig. It was a funny feeling - he terribly missed the
German.
Something like this just had to happen right when he was about to tell the
German what he felt for him.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~


Schuldig was sitting in his bed and was looking out of the window.
/I hope Brad is okay.../ He thought, sighing. It was entirely his fault and
he
knew it. He should have been more careful. He should have saved the American
right away. He should have... He should have...

The redhead buried his face in his hands and started to shake.
/What if they ki- NO! That can't happen!!!/
Schuldig threw the sheet off of himself and stood up. His body was still
weak
from the poison, but his worry for the little kitten pushed him forward.
Slowly
going to the door of his room, he thought what Weiß would do to the pre-cog.
Schuldig opened the door and saw Nagi standing in front of it, his hand just
about to knock at the door.

"Schuldig, you shouldn't stand up jet!" the boy protested as the tall German
pushed past him.

Schuldig pasted a grin onto his face. "I'm alright, don't worry. But I don't
think Crawford is as well off..." he said, patting the chibi bishounen on
the head.

"You're right... We should get started. Who knows what Weiß is going to do
to
him." Nagi's face was concerned. "I'll get Farfarello," the telekinetic said
and went back down the stairs.

Schuldig sighed again.
/Yeah... What could they be doing to my Braddy..?/
Startled, the redhead looked around as if someone could have heard him.
/Did I just think of him as 'my' Braddy?/
Pulling his coat from the coat hanger, he shook his head.
/I don't even know if he... if he feels the same for me as I do for.../

"Schuldig!!! We're finished!" Nagi called. Schuldig pulled his coat over and
slowly closed the door.
/Would he ever understand it..?/

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

It had been two whole days since the incident with Weiß had happened.
Crawford
was still in the youngest Weiß member's room. The boy was worse than Nagi.
He
had been surfing the internet the whole night, and now the kitten realized
he was getting tired.
/I can't just sleep with an enemy in the same room./
Crawford yawned rather loudly. Omi turned around on his chair and looked at
the
black kitty.
"Are you tired Neko-chan?" he asked, standing up and slowly going over to
the kitten.
Crawford twitched. /Ne- Ne- Neko-chan????? I don't believe it!!!/

"Well, it *is* late," the blond said as he looked at the clock. He grinned
and
tried to pat the kitty on the head, but Crawford pulled away, hissing again.

"You'll get used to me, don't worry. You'll have to," Omi grinned.
The American's heart clenched, he had to think of Schuldig again.
That he may never see him again. No. Schuldig would come to rescue him. He
was
sure of that.

The Weiß member put a pillow on a chair and looked at the animal.
"You will have to sleep here Neko-chan. Good night!" With that the youth
turned
around and pulled of his clothes, threw them into a corner and let himself
drop
into his bed.

Crawford sighed, he would have to take this till Schuldig came.
Trotting over to the chair he jumped up and settled down there.
Laying his head on his furry paws he closed his eyes and tried to sleep.
But all his thoughts where focused on the handsome German. He couldn't
sleep.
What if he had understood the situation with the telepath wrong and it
wasn't
love he felt for him? What would the redhead say if he told him that he was
in
love with him..?

What if it was just one of those jokes Schuldig always played?
Crawford turned around and sighed. It couldn't be like that! But would
Schuldig
come to save him? Could he be that sure that the German would risk his live
for
a cat? For his boss who had always been so cold to him? The pre-cog turned
again
and looked out of the window behind him.

The stars where shining bright and the little kitten felt like crying. He
wanted
to be held by those arms again. Even if it was just lying next to the
younger
man, he wanted to be near him. So badly...

He couldn't even remember the last time he had cried, but now he felt like
shedding tears for a love that was most probably unrequited.
After a long time of torturing himself, Crawford finally fell asleep.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The rest of Schwarz was sitting in their car. Schuldig was driving, Nagi was
sitting next to him and Farfarello was on the back seat. The Irishman had
been
frighteningly happy about saving the leader of Schwarz. It made Schuldig
feel a
bit uneasy. But only a bit. He would be happy to see those Weiß bastards as
dead
corpses, but it was more important to get Crawford out of there. Much more
important!

There was only one problem. They only knew where the Weiß had their stupid
flower shop. They didn't know where they lived. Schuldig hoped it was at
least near the shop so he could hear Crawford's thoughts.

The car screeched loudly as he hit the brakes in front of the flower shop.
It was still deep in the night so there wasn't anyone in the shop.
The telepath got out and searched everything in the vicinity for the little
kitten with his powers. It didn't work. A bit panicked he turned around and
looked at Nagi.

"I can't find him Nagi! I can't feel him anywhere!!" he said. Nagi looked at
his clock. It was two in the morning.

"Schu, calm down. He's probably asleep so you'll have to search more
carefully,"
the slight Japanese tried to calm the redhead, who was swaying from one foot
to
the other.

Farfarello got out of the car and took a good look around too.
Schuldig nodded at the telekinetic's comment and concentrated harder on
finding
that well known presence.

He would find the American, he was sure of that, because not finding him
would
mean he was... He didn't want to even think of that!

The German's eyes snapped open as he felt something.
"I... I think I've got him, Nagi!" Schuldig exclaimed. He tried to find out
where the presence he knew so well came from. The mind that he had found was
currently asleep.

Carefully trying not to wake that person, he slid deeper into the mind.
It was Crawford! And he wasn't far away.

He was dreaming. Schuldig didn't know why but he couldn't make out what he
was
dreaming. But the kitten seemed scared of something.
/Funny.../
He thought to himself.

Nagi had been staring at the redhead for a while now. The telepath was
always
spaced out when he really tried hard to focus on something. Schuldig snapped
out
of it and grinned.

"Found him Nagi-chan!"

"Then lets get going!" the Japanese said happily.

The Irishman grinned and licked his knife. "Knew you'd find him,
Mastermind," he
said in a monotone voice, though it was obvious that he was happy.

Schuldig just couldn't tell if it was because he had found Crawford or if it
was
because of being able to fight Weiß. The telepath thought about it and
decided
for the latter. And it wouldn't even bother him if Farfarello carved up
those
assassins. He would welcome it.

Grinning a bit sadistically he lead the rest of Schwarz to the house where
he
had felt the American's presence.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Crawford woke up suddenly. Something had woken him, but he couldn't place
what
it was. Knowing he would probably not be able to sleep again he stretched
his
little body and jumped off of the chair. He heard a noise, a rattling of
some
sort. The kitten wasn't entirely sure what it was. His little ears stood end
as
he heard a loud bang.

/What is that..?/ Crawford thought to himself. Omi turned in is sleep and
groaned.

/Brad!/

The kitten's heart started pounding harder. It was Schuldig's voice in his
mind.

/Brad, can you hear me?/

/S-Schuldig?!? You came!/ The American called back to the telepath.

/Of course Braddy. Do you think we would leave our leader with those Weiß
bastards?/ Schuldig was projecting a warm smile into his thoughts.
/We're coming up now, so don't worry!/

The black kitten ran to the door a scratched at it with his paws meowing
happily. He didn't know why he was doing this, and he didn't care. He was
just
glad that the German had come to save him.

The noise the small animal was making woke Omi up.
"Wha..? Who..?" The blond sat up in his bed and rubbed his eyes. Crawford
looked back at the Weiß member.

/Schuldig! Hurry up!/ He said a bit worried.

"Hey, Neko-chan. What's up?" Omi asked sleepily and swung his legs out of
the
bed.

At that moment the door swung open and Schuldig stood in the frame.

"Huh?" Omi asked, startled. He noticed the flame red hair and recognized the
figure. Crawford ran over to the German and stroked along the leg of the
telepath, purring.

"Schwarz!!!" He yelled loudly and jumped up. Schuldig just grinned and took
a
few steps over to the Weiß member. Nagi and Farfarello appeared behind the
redhead. /Shit! I can't go against all of them!/

"You're right Chibi! You won't be able to fight even one of us!" Schuldig
laughed and pulled out his gun. Omi´s eyes widened.
He looked around and saw that the kitten had run over to Schwarz, and, much
to his surprise, he couldn't see the leader of Schwarz - just like in the
last battle.

"Well, you'll die anyway, so I can tell you where our leader is." Schuldig
bent down to the kitten, which nearly jumped into his hands. Crawford was so
glad to be with the German again that he meowed happily. The telepath
grinned wickedly and pointed the gun at the quivering Weiß.

"You had him in your room for the last three days." The German stroked the
purring kitten, which had climbed up onto his shoulder.

Omi shook his head. "No! That can't be!!!" the young Japanese said.

"Oh, but it is! Believe me!" Schuldig grinned and shot.
