" I don't have time for a hospital ." Aya insisted coldly .

" But Aya-kun ! You need a doctor !"

" Make them come to us . I am not going to rely on them for help , because I don't need it ."

Omi glanced imploringly at Yohji .

" Aya goddamit ! Don't be fucking stubborn . That's a goddamned arm you might be losing there and I don't think that any of us would be able to live with it in case you lost it !"

Aya glared at him on the rearview mirror and said nothing , perhaps it was his

acquiescence , perhaps not .

Yohji nodded and turned on the highway that would lead to hospital . " Just like none of us would be able to live with killing Ken ." Yohji added softly .

Aya turned his head towards the streets they were passing the wing whipping through his blood-colored hair . at that time of night , everything was so quiet . empty ; mirroring exactly what he was feeling .

Ken .

His heart was being wrenched apart because he knew he couldn't live without Ken ; not by a long shot . - - -

Schuldich pressed the cold compress against Ken's temple , he gritted his teeth in annoyance as his other hand turned over and over the small rectangular remote .

His patient yelped in pain . " Schu ! Don't push so hard ! It hurts y'know !" Ken was staring at him , swinging his legs as he sat on the counter .

Schuldich apologized preoccupiedly but gave the brunette a small kiss on the cheek .

Ken slipped off the counter table and looked at Schuldich in concern . " What were you thinking about ?"

" Nothing in particular ."

" That's unfair ! You always know what I'm thinking !" Ken pouted and crossed his arms in disgust .

Schuldich laughed and gave the other affectionate kisses . " That's not true ! I don't always know what you're thinking . You're unpredictable !"

Ken grinned and shoved the other playfully . " That's what makes you love me so much !"

" You're insufferable , mein lieb ." Schuldich fell silent . " I didn't know what you were thinking when you were inside the room with Abyssinian ."

A pained crossed Ken's eyes and the telepath wasn't sure what thought had flashed so briefly across the other's mind .

A knife seemed to wrench his insides , but he knew he couldn't force to tell him what he was feeling . he didn't want to force him either . Giving the brunette time to think , he thought back to what happened earlier that night .

***

The Weiß had already escaped , men were rushing to every direction , their guns drawn .

Castelli was already issuing orders , calm under what some people call a bedlam .

Needless to say , the auction did not at all push through . The endless stream of bullets had almost managed to accomplish what the Weiß were endeavoring to do . bring the house down , that is .

The guests had departed early , and Mr. Castelli , surprisingly , did not at all seem agitated , in fact , he spoke to them in an amicable manner . He had said that he was expecting the attack to happen .

The Schwarz returned to their headquarters immediately .

Crawford went to his room to type up a report , Farfarello was busy with something involving blood and Nagi had taken a nap . leaving the two of them in the kitchen .

***

Schuldich nudged the refrigerator door close and thought about how close he had come to losing Ken, who was silently sipping a hot cup of cocoa , his head bandaged.

In attempt to lighten the mood , he said . " I bet Crawford's in his room yelling at his soundproofed walls ." He grinned mischievously .

" Now that's an idea ."

Nagi sat up slowly on his bed , he blinked his eyes groggily and yawned .

He had been dreaming about Ken , no less .

In his dream , they were younger , like in the old times when they were children , and Ken was sitting beside him in bed telling stories as the rain poured heavily outside and lighting tore the skies apart .

As a child , Nagi hated thunderstorms , he was afraid of the howling wind and the booming thunder and the shadows the lighting cast on the walls , but now , he loved it when the rain would pour and shriek outside because he was reminded of the time when Ken would sit beside him and tell him not to be afraid .

Don't be afraid , Nagi , I'll be here .

A sweet smile lighted the young brunette's features as the young voice whispered in his mind .

I won't leave you to the wind and the lightning .

He missed Ken . he might be with them , but he didn't love Nagi .

I'll protect you , even if it kills me .

Nagi rolled out of bed and threw on a pair of jogging pants and a sweatshirt . it was still dark , perhaps he had been asleep for less than an hour .

He glanced at the glowing numbers of his digital clock and noted the time . 12:30

He padded downstairs , passing Ken's room , he thought The door's closed , maybe he's sleeping already .

Imagining the older brunette asleep made him smile again .

Just as he was about to push open the kitchen door , he heard the quiet laughter . His blood froze in his veins . he recognized the voices .

Schuldich . Ken .

Brown eyes narrowed in suspicion and pain . Cautiously , he peered into the room , careful not to attract Schuldich's or Ken's attention . His heart constricted at the sight of Schuldich nudging Ken against the counter , the room was filled with their hushed laughter .

Nagi resisted the urge to cry out , to hurl objects at Schuldich , to make him go far , far away but he forced himself to watch the scene unfolding before his eyes and break what was left his heart , and his soul .

He fervently hoped to god that Ken would finally see through Schuldich and . see him .

[Redemption_Moon] :

Only two people reviewed my last chapter . . scratch that , three people I mean . T_T . Me sad . Was the last two chapters been that crappy ? I mean , I noticed the decline in the reviews . Y_Y

But anyway , since there were at least two people who cared *huggles them both* [You know who you wonderful people are] :p I posted this chapter .

You might have noticed that Ken is constantly getting injured , that is probably because I am a very demented and deranged person *laughs evilly* It may also the result of getting so few reviews . O_x; *sighs* what is the world coming to . ?

Well . *takes a deep breath* this saga is coming to and end . no need to worry though , for those people who are constantly reading and reviewing ; there is still a sequel to this from which you can expect a huge amount of action , adventure and all the crap that will get the people to review .

There may also be a number of OC's , but none that will probably turn you guys off . *smiles and winks*

Anyway , as I was saying , there will be a couple or so more chapters which , I am currently typing out . *Glances at the papers in her hand . sweatdrops* o_O;;

Uh . as I was saying , there will be five or more *coughs* so chapters coming*mutters* ~I hope they don't remember what I said earlier~ *grins uneasily* ^__^;;

REVIEW , REVIEW , REVIEW !!!!
