Chapter 5 (Technically 6 & 7)
A Gravitation/Weiss Kruez Crossover

Aya, Youji, and Omi burst onto the scene to find Bradley Crawford using Ken's shirt sleve as a leash while Ken himself growled loudly at Nagi. Then, as they watched, Ken turned, forcing his way under Brad's arm to stand with his head resting on the American's shoulder while he observed his three friends. Seconds later Crawford has tracked the line of Ken's steady gaze to the rest of Weiss.

"What did you do to Ken?" Aya demanded, drawing his Katana as he spoke.

"Chased a vampire away from him." Crawford shrugged with the shoulder Ken's head wasn't on. "Then I fed him. Which basically makes me his sire."

"Let Ken go." Aya stalked forward, not even noticing the from that crossed Ken's face as Bras was threatened.

"I don't think Ken wants to be." Crawford smirked broadly, not looking the least bit bothered as Aya raised the blade for a killing strike, Only to have Ken dart around Brad faster than the Eye could follow and grad his sword arm with a feral growl.

"Ken?" Aya stared at the boy in confusion.

"Leave." Then Ken set him free, heading over to Brad again and returning his head to the shoulder that belonged to the American.

"What did you do to him?" Omi watched the man he thought he knew purr and rub cheeks with Crawford happily. "He's trying to crawl into your skin or something."

"I've explained this one already." Brad pushed Ken towards Schuldig, whom he pounced on just as happily, ignoring the telepath's protests when he tried to nip at his neck. "He was drained by a vampire, then given some of it's blood. That made him into one. I chased the vampire off and fed Ken when he woke up. He thinks I'm his sire because of that."

"It still doesn't explain why he likes you so much." Omi glared as much as one so innocent could pull off. "Or why he's chasing Schuldig around."

"Ken!" Brad turned and snapped at the new vampire. "No biting Schuldig."

"Why could he want to bite Schuldig?" Omi repeated his demand for information.

"Schuldig was the first person he fed from. Since I didn't let Ken kill him He formed a sort of bond with him."

"Why did you save him?" Youji stared at Crawford. "Don't we all hate each other?"

"I saved Ken from the vampire because he's needed to work the staff." Brad looked at Weiss, carefully deciding what he wanted to tell them. "The magic of the staff will work differently under Ken's power.

"How so?" Aya demanded, mentally going over options that weren't going to pan out as he ignored Ken's carefully examination of a bite mark on Schuldig's wrist.

"I"ll explain later."

Yuki stood outlined in moonlight that streamed through the window. His golden eyes dragged over the cityscape below him, tracking as if he were searching for something specific.

"What are you doing, Yuuukiii!" Schuichi bounced across the room and glomped his much taller lover from behind. "What do you see?"

"I don't see anything." Yuki dragged his eyes over the buildings one more time. "But something feels off tonight.......

......Eiri watched his small, pink-haired lover sleep for a few moments. After he was sure that Schuichi was actually asleep he rose from the bed. The blond took care not to wake Schuichi as he crept out of the room carrying his clothes.

It didn't take long at all for him to be on his way to the park near the apartment.

~~~~~~~~~~

Brad led Ken out of the hotel lobby, smirking to himself when Ken made no sound, just as he'd instructed. The receptionist didn't even look at them, though it was just a side effect of Schuldig's having 'convinced' her that they were staying in this upper class hotel. Ken continued to make no sound as Brad led him towards the park. Once they reached it, Brad took stock of the people present, hoping for someone appropriate to feed to Ken.

Until Yuki Eiri made himself known, not even Ken had noticed him. Then the blond stepped from the shadows, he ordered the Bum Brad had pointed out to Ken to run.

"Vampire." Yuki hissed at the vampire in front of him, then turned to Brad for a moment. "You had better run. You don't understand what's happened to him."

Then Yuki dove at Ken with a dangerous sounding snarl. Ken dodged that attack and the next three without any trouble. "We know you." Ken tilted his head to one side. "You threw us out."

"Yes I did." Eiri glared at the vampire, who stared back coolly. Then the Gold eyes narrowed, and the man's body because to alter, stretching into longer, leaner lines and growing a full coat of tawny fur with a gold mane draped over his neck. The massive lion that had been Yuki roared and snarled at them.

It also advanced on them until a quiet click sounded behind them. the Lion's dangerously fanged face turned towards the sound. A German man with long red hair and dangerous green eyes stepped from the shadows with a gun trained on the Lion. "Go human or kiss your heartbeat goodbye. I can still hear you think in that body. I know a normal bullet will be the end of you, Blondie."

The Lion made an annoyed noise, but slowly returned to his human form. Yuki Eiri glared at Schuldig and Brad. "What the hell are you people?"
