The Past Encounters Continue
Disclaimer: I do not own Weiss.
Note: This is the second arc to the story Past Encounters. If you haven't read the first arc, you may have difficulty understanding what's going on.
Chapter 1-Assassins again:
The morning birds sang as the sun rose for another day to continue for the members of Weiss. Ken was busying dusting of old selves, Yohji was cleaning the windows, Omi was fiddling with the cash register, and Ran was opening the gates which haven't been opened in five years. The Kitten House was once again open for business.
"I can't believe we're doing this again," stated the worried Omi. Now that he was older and taller, he easily towered over every one else, including Yohji.
"Neither can I," Yohji sighed as he rubbed his burn across his face. "You know I could have had plastic surgery and still had a beautiful face, so why did I decide to come back here?" Yohji looked very sullen and had the expression that you would usually expect from Ran.
Ran came back in when he heard Yohji speak. Acting as if he felt the same he spoke, "It's eating you up inside isn't it?"
"What are you talking about, Aya-kun?"
"Coming back here. Living the life you tried to ignore. You did well for awhile, we all did. We pretended like nothing happened. We gave ourselves a false identity. That still doesn't deny us of who we really are."
Every other member looked like they were listening to the worst lecture in years. Yet they all knew what Ran said was true. After Ran's speech, no one dared to speak leaving a huge moment of silence before a few girls arrived.
The bell chimed as the girls walked in gazing as if they were looking at a bunch of ghosts.
"I can't believe it!" One of the girls exclaimed, "I thought this place went out of business years ago!"
"And look! It's the same guys who worked here before!" Squealed another girl.
"Are you going to buy something?" Ran asked in his usual tone of voice.
"No, I was just looking to see-"
"THEN GET OUT!" The girls then ran out screaming and crying their little hearts out. Omi, Yohji, and Ken all exchanged looks of panic. "Aya-kun," Omi began but stopped. He was to busy listening to a distinct noise come out of Ran. They all could. This wasn't a normal sound you would expect from Ran. Ran was crying. Softly, but still crying. The other members of Weiss have never seen Ran cry before. The image Ran gave them was a tough one, always keeping his emotions bottled up inside himself. Not this time.
"Dammit! Why does this have to happen again? I haven't done anything to harm anyone. Why? Why? Why?!"
"Aya-kun, do you need someone to talk to? We're all here for you. Do you want me to call Sakura-sun for you?" suggested Omi.
"NO! Leave Sakura alone! She has enough problems." With that, Ran left the shop slamming the door and knocking a few pots over in the process.
The other members of Weiss continued to work in silence for the rest of the day. Night finally came and The Kitten House was soon closed.
"Do you think Aya-kun will come back?" asked Omi later that night.
"I just don't know anymore. I just don't know," Ken answered.
"I don't know about you guys, but I'm heading off to go see how Manx is doing. Seven months pregnant you know," Yohji told the others. With a wave good-bye, Yohji was gone too leaving Ken and Omi alone to talk.
"Did you have anywhere you were supposed to go to tonight, Ken-kun?"
"No, I was supposed to catch up with someone tonight, but after what I saw happen today I don't think I can."
"What do you mean?"
"Omi, you still may be too young to understand this, but do you feel like you have the right to love someone even for who you were? Or for whom you are?"
"Oh," Omi was taken back by this remark. He has been dating Aya-chan for a while now and right under Ran's nose. But when Ran first saw Aya and him together, he punched him. Could this be the reason why? "I'm still a little confused."
"Hm?"
"Do Yohji-kun and Aya-kun feel the same way?"
"Yes. We all do." "Then why is it Manx and Yohji are together? Why are Aya and Sakura together?"
"Well Manx has worked with us for ages and knows who we really are. The same idea with Sakura. But you're right. That still doesn't change what we have done. Perhaps that's why Aya-kun broke down today. He may have felt guilty."
"Is that why you came back then?"
"Pretty much. I hate to think about it, but it's the bitter truth. I am once again an assassin."
This information sank on Omi's heart. He never had thought of it that way before. Ran had told him this many times before, but Omi could never comprehend what he was trying to say.
Ken was about to leave grabbing all his stuff heading out the door. Before he could make his way out, Omi stopped him. "What if.What if.What if something bad happened again? What if we were once again the cause of many innocent deaths? What if that night came alive again?!" This time it was Omi's turn to cry, of course nothing out of the ordinary.
Ken sighed and looked into Omi's big blue eyes. "We'll be more careful this time. I promise." Ken then left the flower shop, leaving Omi alone. Ken couldn't help but think about what Omi said. Something bad already happened to him recently. Somebody had attacked him at his home and killed his children. But then again he couldn't help but think about what happened on that horrible night-
