" The didn't have a prayer , Schwarz was powerful enough before but now that Siberian is on their side , they're outnumbered and overpowered ." Manx stood in front of Persia's desk , her hands stiffly at her sides . " We have to do something about it ."

Persia peered at her from behind wire-rimmed glasses thoughtfully , and it was several moments before he replied . " I've called for two operatives from the Blau Stern division of Kritiker , they're currently wrapping up a two-month old mission and should be here in two weeks ."

Persia stood up and fixed the redhead with an impersonal look as he stood up and walked to his office window . " Their profiles are with Birman , she's waiting

outside ."

He glanced at her briefly . " Break the news ."

Somewhere in the distance , a church bell tolled .

" Report ." " They've just reassigned two operatives from Germany . They will be here in Japan

in two weeks , one of them is an explosives op ." A laugh . " Perhaps it is because of that failed attempt on Castelli's life ." " Perhaps ." " And the boy ?" " He's still asleep , but the child I believe , is making some preparations to

enter his room ." " Interesting . I wonder what his intentions are ." " I'm willing to bet that he's going to tell our boy something about the past ." " Good job ." " We've been waiting for a decade . Are you sure he's the one ?" " Quite . trust in me , I will never let you down . Besides , it has not yet been a

decade ; nine years , two months and eight days if I remember correctly ." " You're infallible !" " I know , that's why you love me ."

Nagi took a deep breath as he peered through the slightly ajar door . As usual , Ken had forgotten to lock the door , hell , he often forgot to close it completely , and his sleeping habits are quite known to everyone in the house .

Farfarello often would sit hours at the door observing the brunette as he slept in fascination saying that : " Watching Ken sleep hurts God ." and snicker in the psychotic way he did . Nagi had no idea what the Irishman meant but he sure felt uncomfortable when the older Schwarz talked about Ken like that .

Just as Nagi expected , Ken was still asleep under a mountain of thick beddings and pillows , one would not expect to see a living thing under the pile of cloth and covered feathers to be still breathing but Nagi knew that this was just the way the former soccer player slept , [Redemption: Like a bear hibernating in his den *sweatdrops as Redemption imagines what Ken looks like as a bear* Kawwaaaiii !!!! ^^;]

Schuldich was still asleep , "In his own bed" he muttered to himself . He knew this because he waited for the two of them to part the night before . It was just a stroke of luck for him because the only reason why the redheaded psychopath

[Redemption :*Coughs* . Uh. telepath .] did not invade Ken's room was because they had a little squabble the night before , something along the lines of Schuldich eating all of Ken's energy bars or something .

All in all , Nagi did not give a damn why they were temporarily apart , just as long as they were , Nagi now had the chance to get Ken back , and wasn't about to let it pass him even if he had to fight Schuldich to the death .

He sighed and closed his eyes wearily , he hoped that Ken would remember , and as far as he knew , Ken was always ready to make sacrifices for the people who meant a lot to him . Nagi knew it was selfish of him , but he didn't care , he had waited long enough , he had suffered the torture of seeing Ken with Abyssinian , and with Schuldich , and he wasn't just about to give up his future and his happiness for Schuldich or anyone else to plunder . He knew how he felt about Ken , what he had always felt about Ken , and it was about time the other assassin knew about it .

He nudged the door open and closed it behind him . Schuldich could wait but Ken was going to know the truth whether he likes it or not .
