Chapter #3
"Good morning Aya-kun!"
"Yohji? What are you doing here?"
"Well, live here too…" the blonde responded.
Aya glanced at this watch, "it's eight thirty. Have you ever even been down here before noon."
Yohji shrugged, "now that you mention it, I think I have once before.."
"Is Minna still asleep?"
"Yes, I checked on her a little while ago, she's doing okay. So what's your opinion of our mysterious guest with your name?"
"Omi checked the hospital records last night. As far as her amnesia goes, her story checks out. According to records, three weeks ago, she simply vanished from the hospital. So either part of her story's genuine, or she's a very talented actress who has put some serious work into this." Aya paused to study the arrangement he was working on.
"I know what you mean, even in this line of work, you don't come across stories like hers very often. But I know the facts of the situation, and that's not what I asked for. I asked for your opinion." Yohji gave Aya a raised eyebrow.
"I'm not sure what to think, I think it would be impossible to fake amnesia well enough to fool the hospital. But then you did point out last night, she got away from the explosion without burning that
pretty long hair."
"I've thought about that, she wasn't that close to the building, just close enough to get thrown back. Like anyone would, she ducked when she realized the place was going to explode. She also was wearing her jacket, that might have helped," Yohji shrugged. "but then again you seem to trust her enough to let her stay here," he waited for Aya's response to the last point.
"Her story checks out. And even if she is plotting our demise, she would find another way, it's obvious she's not stupid. At least this way we can keen an eye on her."
"Is it that, or has Aya fallen for a pretty face?" Yohji teased, with mock jealousy
"hn."
A few minutes later, Ken and Omi entered the shop to find Aya and Yohji sharing an intimate moment. They jumped to opposite ends of the counter as their teammates entered .
"That's not fair! You told us no PDA in the shop!" Omi scolded them.
"Yea ,that's because you two were doing a lot worse than kissing!" Yohji shot back. The two younger florists turned beat red. "You see, I was not behind the counter trying to get Aya's pants…"Yohji was cut off as the door opened and a middle aged customer entered, bringing the argument about PDA to a quick stop.

"Hello, Aya-san." It was midmorning when Minna entered the shop with Ken and Omi. She did indeed seem to be doing better, she didn't look as disoriented, and some of the color had returned to her face.
"Good morning," Aya responded, "are you feeling all right?"
"I am. I really can't thank you enough for letting me stay here. I could help in the shop," she offered, "I don't want to be a burden."
"It's interesting," Ken spoke up, "she knows the names of almost all the flowers here.
"Do you?"
She nodded.
"It's good to have extra help here. But if you're going to stay here, let me give you a bit of advice: you're seventeen."
She raised an eyebrow in question.
"You will be a lot safer around Yohji the skirt chaser if her thinks you're a minor." Aya explained flatly
"Yohji…" Minna's expression took on a far away look as she repeated the name.
'Don't tell me she's already fallen for him…' Aya thought , 'he hasn't even started seriously flirting with her.' But she didn't seem like the love at first sight type. Perhaps she knew someone who looked like him or had the some name?
"Can you de-thorn Roses?" Aya gestured to the roses on the counter.
"I think so, it can't be that hard."
"It's not." He handed her the knife.
"Hi Boys."
A familiar redhead in a very short skirt nonchalantly walked into the shop and to the back room with out a second glance to the florists. The four hurried after her into the mission room.
"The circumstances of this mission are quite similar to the circumstances of your last assignment. Your target is Makoto Kou, the head of a chemical development corporation which has been testing it's toxic chemicals on humans. Until recently, this company has had an excellent reputation. However, in the past several months, since Kou became head of the organization they have been kidnapping and testing poisons on young people, most of them collage students.
"At least fourteen, and possibly as many as twenty-three have been killed.. hunters of the light, hunt the tomorrow's of the dark beasts."
"So can we count on all of you?"
"How dare they! I'm definitely in."
"I'm in."
"Collage women?"
"I'm in."
"Is it just me, of is this one hell of a coincidence, what's up with the sudden outbreak of human testing," Ken wondered aloud as they entered the shop again. " Do you think there could be some kind of conec…"
He was cut off by a death glare form Aya, and an elbow to the ribs from Omi as they found Minna still sitting where she had been when they left her.
"Biological weapons," she said softly.
"What…?!" Aya demanded.
Her dazed look had returned, and she only stared at the flowers on the counter and shook her head.
Later, Yohji was in the shop getting ready of the after school fan- girl rush, and he was about to kill his teammates if they didn't show up soon. He was not in the mood to deal with the flood of underage stalkers on his own.
But it was Minna who arrived in the shop first. "Hi Yohji san."
"Hi Minna, you haven't by any chance seen my so called coworkers, have you?"
"They're in the back."
"Oh, okay. Hey, are you all right?"
"I got another e-mail, from the same person as before."
"Yohji leaned over the counter so he could face Minna, "and…?"
"They wanted to know why they haven't heard from me for almost a month, they also said that some 'outside force' had taken care of my assignment."
"They?" the blonde man questioned.
"Whoever it was always spoke of himself in the plural tense," Minna stopped for a minute and stared out the window, her expression blank. "I'm going to e-mail this person back, I don't care who 'they' might be anymore, at least I could find out something."
Before Yohji could respond the other three Weiss boys entered.
"Nice to see you guys, where have you been?!" Yohji demanded.
"The mission," Aya whispered hissed in a barely audible voice as he passed Yohji. "I'll explain later, we…."
"Oh! Look, all of them are here today! What luck!" School was out. Damn.
"If you're not going to buy anything…" Aya began his famous line only to have his voice drown out by the arrival of the rest of the fan-girl crowd.
Eventually, the girls noticed Minna, who was sitting quietly behind the counter.
"Who is she!"
"Does she work here?"
"If she does she's sure lucky, ?"
" Hey! Who are you?"
"Wait a minute!" one of the crowd suddenly shouted. "I know who you are. You're the girl who was trying to get a job at my dad's store! You're the one who has the some name as Aya!" she looked from the auburn harried girl to the swordsman. "Fujimiya Aya?"
Damn the luck
BTW I wouldn't mind reviews and/or constructive criticism. *hint*
