Disclaimer: I OWN NOTHING!!! *cries* you want it more detailed? See chapter 1 ^_^

Warnings: Okay!! No rating change here, although this chapter IS shounen-ai *insane giggle* To me it is very mild, but to others it may not be. So I advise anyone not mature enough to handle romantic situations to not read on. Also this fic is kinda angsty, again im not sure how bad it is; so if you dislike angst don't read either. Or do so and have tissues at hand ^_^ Anyway! Onward with the fic!!


Chapter 2

Pushing open the door to the Koneko no sumu ie Aya breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that Kens questioning had stopped. Shaking his head slightly to rid himself of the raindrops laying on his head and pulling off his boots he made his way into the kitchen, the cold air had seeped inside causing him to shiver. Flipping the switch to the kettle on and sitting down in one of the wooden chairs seated around the table Aya listened for the loud footsteps signaling Ken's entrance to the room.
Brushing soaked brown bangs from his eyes Ken offered Aya a small smile as he too sat down across from the redhead, fingers rubbing at the palms of his hands trying to warm them.
"Youji and Omi are late, you don't think anything happened to them…do you?"
At this Aya shook his head, walking the short distance to the counter where the kettle was now screaming he took the object from the stand and poured the steaming water into two cups. Taking his own, he resumed his seat and looked at ken, jerking his head in the direction of the mug.
"Coffee's ready Ken, drink it before it gets cold"
Eyeing the brunette over the rim of his mug Aya sipped at his tea, the sweet heady taste making his body relax.
It was the sound of the telephone that broke the uncomfortable silence now placed upon the room, placing his cup into the table and nodding to Ken, Aya walked into the hallway and picked up the small portable phone from its cradle.
"Aya?"
The muffled voice on he other end of the line seemed frantic, almost drowned out by the sounds of people rushing around in the background.
"Yes? What do you want Youji?"
"I need you and Ken to come to the hospital right away, we've had an accident"
Taking a breath to control his now quickened breathing Aya deathglared into the phone.
"What happened are you two okay?"
"Im fine. But Omi, look just get here as quick as you can ne?"
Hearing the click signaling disconnection Aya stalked back into the kitchen, grabbing at his coat and shrugging it on.
"Aya? Where you going?"
"There's been an accident, we need to get to the hospital"
"Accident?!! Who?!! What?!!"
Not bothering to reply Aya made for the door, cursing and scolding everything and anything, stepping into his boots and almost running to his car.
"Aya wait!!" Growling as he fumbled with the lock against the pouring rain Ken closed his eyes momentarily, willing the tears now forming against his lids to go away.
"We'll take my bike it'll be quicker"
"Fine."
Ken allowed himself the comfort of a quick glance at Aya as they both mounted the bike, kicking the machine into gear he felt his heart skip a beat and soft warm arms were placed about his waist, the familiar sensation of walking back from the park washed over him, Aya surrounding him as his coat did once, but this was much better, Aya's arms clung almost desperately to his form, even though the redheads faced remained impassive the tightened fingers around Ken's jacket gave everything away. He was worried.
Driving off into the streets both Ken and Aya said silent prayers, to perhaps a god neither of them believed in anymore.
The rain continued to beat down as Aya leaned against Kens back, eyes shut tightly against the small mocking drops of water falling from the gray sky. It hadn't stopped, just increased. As Ken slowed his bike for a stoplight Aya at that moment found himself hating the rain more than anything, something so seductively simple a few minutes ago, could have been the downfall of one of the Weiss members.

Pulling up outside the hospital, Ken parked the bike, nodding toward Aya as the older man slipped his hold from the brunette and began walking into the sliding doors of the building.
"Youji? Youji?"
Youji heaved a sigh of relief as he watched the figure enter, stubbing out his cigarette he rushed to him, eyes red-ringed from what seemed like thousands of tears shed within such little time.
"What happened? How is he?"
"It. the weather, we didn't see the other car until it had hit us head on"
Aya frowned and broke his gaze from the blond, choosing to study the cold marble floor beneath him.
"Omi?"
"They don't know. They said we could see him as soon as you guys arrived, where's Ken?"
"Out with his bike"
"Aa."

To Ken, the hospital was cold; he always hated hospital's since the early stages of his childhood. So many people went into places like these and never returned. Perhaps it was strange for an assassin to have such a feel for death as he did, after all people's lives were saved here, medical research almost always won over, but to him the rooms were still cold. The constant antibacterial smell of memories hung to every wall and chair, false hope attaching itself to every happy painting on the white washed walls. So many people giving smiles and shedding tears, and now Omi was lying in one of the beds, unable to do anything but wait.
Shuddering and mentally pushing away his thoughts Ken joined Aya and Youji as the nurse showed them to the ward Omi was in, looking toward Aya he instinctively moved closer, yearning for the warmth that was wrapped around him earlier.

"He's in there" Pointing to the small room at the far end of the ward the nurse bowed politely, dark hair falling into her eyes with the movement. To her it was so easy to tell the boy lying beneath the white sheets was loved, dearly. The blonde nearest the wall was almost bouncing from foot to foot, raw anguish showing in the green depths of his eyes, the boy's lover? Perhaps. It was the brunette and the tall redhead that caught her attention the most though. They both looked like two sides of the same coin, heaven and hell combined, yet the both seemed oblivious to the quick glances and quirking smiles given from the other, breathing in a deep sigh the woman forced another bright smile to her face, silently wishing them all luck and happiness in the future.
"If any of you need anything, please call me, I'll be just in the corridor"
Youji smiled as Aya and Ken both walked into the room that held Omi.
"Thank you, we appreciate it"
"It's the least I can do, I hope your boyfriend gets well"
"So do I…So do I."

Nodding at the retreating figure, Youji closed his eyes for a moment, taking in small labored gasps while trying to grab hold of any composure his body may have left, snapping his eyes open and blinking quickly to focus he gently pushed open the fading white door.

The sight which greet Aya was all to familiar, Omi seemed so small lying there, his hair shining to almost a hallow against the sheets incasing him. Numerous tubes extended from his now pale body joining to strange looking machines. Aya wanted to run hard and fast, but his feet wouldn't allow him, his muscles were caving in as he clamped his knee's together willing them not to collapse. The bright blue eyes that once laughed with his teammates and scolded during missions were now dark circles, scratches running across his skin as if someone had carved at his face like a piece of wood, but surprisingly his breathing was even, causing his chest to rise and fall in small steady motions. Aya was so entranced by the angelic figure lying in his own world he didn't feel the gentle hand placed on his shoulder, nor did he hear the door slowly opening as the doctor walked through.
"You're his family I assume?"
"Im his boyfriend, these are his friends"
Nodding toward the figure in the professional coat Aya leaned back against Ken's touch as Youji quietly spoke to the man.
"Will he…be okay?"
"Mr. Tsukiyono had a nasty fall, but we are pleased to say nothing bad will come of it as such"
Heaving a sigh of relief Aya resisted the urge to cling onto Ken as his knee's jerked and almost gave way again.

"However, we have him sedated for comfort and he may suffer pains for a few weeks, apart from that we believe nothing major will follow, when he wakes up he can go home, but you must make sure he takes his medication and if any sign of discomfort of any extreme sickness should appear you must bring him back straight away"
Youji smiled as he thanked the doctor on his leave, taking his place beside Omi's bedside he chuckled quietly brushing away the golden strands from the boys nose.
"Naa, Omi, what am I going to do with you"
"We'll leave you guys, but bring him home safely ne?"
Backing Aya into the door Ken waved at Youji casting a soft brotherly glance to the sleeping boy.
"Un..Later"

The rain had finally stopped outside, yet still its afterimage hung in the air, the mist casting slight shadows across the streets.
"Im glad he's okay"
"Un."
"Aya.Whats wrong?"
Pushing his wind blown bangs from his face Aya turnt to face the brunette, their proximity sending shivers racing down his back, he wanted to drown in the pools of Ken's eyes.
"My sister, it reminded me of her…such stillness"
"Yes, but she's awake now, times have changed"
"I guess your right."
Gaze softening Ken reached over, grasping at the redheads coat with the tips of his fingers and pulling the taller man into a light hug, free hand leaning against the raindrop ridden bike.
"You need to let go of the past Aya, we all do"
"Ken, I.." Pulling away from him Aya quickly scanned Ken's face, eyes darting to his lips then back again.
"Yes?.."
"I.."
Closing the small amount of space between them Ken brought his arm to wrap around Aya's waist, lifting himself up slightly he gently brushed his lips over the redheads, fingers burying themselves in the scarlet strands at the base of his neck.
"Aya…"
Leaning down to give the brunette more access, Aya ran his tongue across Ken's lips, sucking and nipping slightly at the swollen flesh, craving more of the sweetness flowing from the Youngers mouth.
"Nnn...Aya we should be getting home, people are staring"
"Let them stare" capturing kens lips in another small but demanding kiss Aya moved away and climbed onto the back of the bike, blinking against the small dots swarming around his eyes from the intensity of the moment him and Ken had just shared.
"Home then?" asked Ken as he climbed on and planted Aya's arms firmly around his waist.
"Home sounds good"
Kicking the bike into gear Ken began to drive back through the cold streets. For both of them the storm had seemed to lighten things up, people we're emerging from their homes to go about their evenings, smiling. To Aya and Ken they were seeing the small quirkings for the first time. Perhaps it was because they were holding on to each other. Smiling into Kens back he tightened his grip as the rain began to slowly fall once more.
