A/N: Howdees people...okay, I got 5 reviews...that makes me depressed. I
have over 400 for my other one...in the first week, I have about 50! This
one's been up for almost three months...oh, well. At least I have 3.
Well, anyway, I don't think that I will be writing anymore Weiß fanfics.
It just seems that no one reads them. Or at least no one reads the ones
that aren't yaoi.
Nightmare Assignment
Chapter 2: The Mission
After suiting up, the Weiß boys left their apartment building and headed for Takatori headquarters. By then, Ken fully believed that what he saw on the television screen was only his heart franticly searching for anything to tell him that the video was wrong.
They made their way into the building without being detected. When inside, they decided to split up, hoping to have a quick and easy kill.
Ken raced down the corridor, they had been very lucky. This was the most dangerous place for a member of Weiß...but right now, he didn't care.
He kept as calm as he could, the rage he felt still burned, but he kept it as smoldering embers. He could not afford to be careless, not in his line of work, especially not here. He prayed he got to Aurora before the others, he wanted to hear her beg for mercy and forgiveness and hear her scream as he tore through her flesh.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Brad, baby, calm down," Aurora said as calmly as she could to the enraged Schwarz leader. She was nearly paralyzed with fear.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Brad, baby, calm down," Ken cringed as the familiar voice, just three hours ago he thought was the most beautiful on the planet, said the name Brad in the same seductive tone he remembered her saying his own name. He carefully crept up to the door of the room Aurora's voice escaped from and listened intently.
"'Baby'?!" Brad Crawford screamed, he followed it up with a sharp, strong slap to Aurora's face. "Who gave you the privilege to call me 'baby'?!"
"Brad, please!" Aurora's said, her voice sounding as terrified as she felt. "Brad! What did I-"
Aurora was cut off by the sound of bone colliding with bone. Ken had to sneak a peak; he looked around the corridor to see if it was safe, and then stuck his head through the door. Crawford was holding Aurora's upper arms so tightly, Ken could already see the bruises forming under his fingers. Aurora was staring up at him in shock, trying to wrench herself free while blood dripped from her nose and the side of her mouth.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The only thought screaming through Aurora's mind was 'GET AWAY FROM HIM, HE'S GOING TO KILL YOU!' She tried her hardest, but he was far too strong.
"You conniving little bitch!" Brad hit her again, this time with the back of his hand.
She knew she would have to keep up the charade; she couldn't let it end like this. She had to play innocent and oblivious. She filled her eyes with tears as she looked up at him, "What's wrong? What did I do?"
"What did you-" He was furious now. Aurora braced herself for another hit, but instead, Crawford threw her onto the floor. "You work for Weiß, don't you? Don't deny it, we found out you were an assassin. I have all the time in the world to stay here and wait 'till you tell me everything. So, whenever you feel like saying anything, just say it, I'll be right here." He knelt down and stroked her cheek. "I bet Allison isn't even your real name, is it?"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
If Ken's heart could have fallen any farther, it would have. He couldn't believe it, she had lied to him? She had said she was on vacation; she couldn't be an assassin, could she?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Aurora tried to scramble to her feet, but failed miserably as Crawford grabbed her and slammed his fist into her stomach. She doubled over, both from the force and pain, and coughed uncontrollably. Droplets of blood-her blood-rained onto the concrete floor. Crawford grabbed a fistful of her think, brown, curled hair. "this will be much less painful.for you.if you would just answer my questions!" He pulled her head so that she was looking him square in the eyes. She drew her breath in gasps and tears poured from her eyes. "Answer me!"
"Go...to...hell!" Aurora hissed at him through her gasps for breath.
Crawford threw her face to the floor and kicked her in the ribs, making her scream in pain.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Ken fought the urge to stop the beating. He was so confused now. But he trusted Persia, and Persia said she was evil. Why should he bloody his claws when Crawford was doing the job for him?
"What about your boyfriend, hmmm?" Crawford asked maliciously. Ken watched Aurora freeze. "What? You think that we wouldn't find out?"
"Please! Leave him alone! Beat me, torture me...kill me...just leave him alone!"
"Hmmm...what was his name again...?" Crawford put his hand to his head, pretending to think, "Oh! I remember! Ken Hidaka."
Ken perked up at the sound of his own name.
"No!" Aurora begged, "He hasn't done anything! He doesn't even know that I'm an assassin! Please!" She paused for a second, "I love him."
Ken was shocked, his mind was short-circuiting. Did she really...love him? Or was it just another trick?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Those words seemed to enrage Crawford even more. "You do, do you?" He threw her to the floor again, and this time pined her there. "Well, I'm sorry I'm the one who has to tell you this," he swung his left leg over her and straddled her hips, "but he's dead." He smoothed his hands over her stomach and chest.
Aurora thrashed in a futile attempt to get him off as she screamed, "Bastard! You fucking evil bastards! How could you?! He didn't do anything." She was so overcome with emotion that she couldn't shake him off. "Now you have nothing to barging for information with." She stared into Crawford's eyes intimidating, "Kill me, torture me, threaten me. I don't care, I've been an assassin for too long. You think this is the first time I've gotten myself into a jam? Think again! I always find a way out!"
Ken's mind was torn. Who should he believe? Before he reacted, he had to be positive that it wasn't just another act-which was something she seemed very good at.
"Really?" Crawford asked as he unbuttoned her shirt. Aurora struggled to stop him, but failed. "What about Loretta? You care about her, don't you?" He finished the last button and threw the shirt open, exposing her bruised stomach and black laced bra. "Beautiful!" Then his hands hovered over the button and zipper of her jean skirt. "If you tell me everything now, I'll wait until you're ready...if not..."
She whimpered slightly as Crawford's quickly undid and pulled her skirt off of her. Why couldn't she fight back? She had had years of training, she could usually take down someone twice Crawford's size. "Of course I care about Lori! She's my friend! But we both knew what could happen when we took this job! And no matter what happens, I'll never tell!" She knew exactly why she couldn't fight back, those drugs were already starting to cloud her mind. What the hell had they given her?!
"What about Loretta? Will she?"
Aurora laughed, or at least that was what she had tried to do, "Kill me and find out! Loretta is the brawn of this duo! I get all the info, make all the plans, she gets things done! She follows my orders! Everything is on a needs to no bases!" She looked into his eyes, daring him to make a move; she finished in a low, raw, intimidating voice you wouldn't have ever expected to come from such a nice seeming young woman, "And she has never needed to know." Maybe the stupid drugs would knock her out so she wouldn't be awake and feel her slow, torturous death.
"Fine then," he put both his hands on her inner thighs and spread them apart. "We'll see how reluctant you are after I finish." Aurora screamed the most high-pitched, blood-curtailing scream as Crawford's wet, slimy tongue touched her skin, just above her belly button.
No such luck; she'd have to feel every excruciating second.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Ken's blood ran cold as he heard her scream. His couldn't control himself as he crashed through the door and knocked Crawford unconscious. Crawford's limp body fell onto Aurora who yelped because of Ken's sudden, unexpected attack.
Ken threw off his claws, pushed Crawford as hard and as far away from his love as he could. He gently wrapped his arms around her near naked body, being careful not to touch any of the bruises Crawford had put in her perfect skin. She was shaking with fear.
"Aurora, calm down, it me, it's Ken. Please, talk to me. They didn't hurt me! God! Why did I even let him lay a finger on you?!"
Aurora's answer rushed out so fast it sounded like the words were overlapping each other. "Ken?! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to lie to you, but I couldn't let you get hurt. I didn't know how or when to tell you. I was afraid you would be angry and afraid. But everything went wrong with Crawford and, and..." Hot tears fell from her eyes, "I love you Ken." She whispered.
Then, to Ken's horror, Aurora's eyes fluttered closed and her tense body loosened.
"No," Ken was barely able to whisper; but his mind brain was screaming: NO! You can't die like this! Wake up damn it! Wake up!
As if responding to his thoughts, Aurora's body tensed again and her eyes fluttered back open. "The-they put something i-in me," she was barely able to choke out. She started to lift her arm for Ken to see the cluster of needle pricks on the inside of her elbow.
Ken noticed how much it seemed to hurt her to move, "Shh, don't move, I'll get you out of here."
She curled up against him tried to thank him, but fainted again.
Ken removed his jacked and draped it around her; then scooped her up and escaped the room; leaving Crawford sprawled unconscious on the floor. They were barley twenty meters from the room when Ken heard loud footsteps clanking down the corridor.
He dashed around a corner and pressed himself, as flat as he could manage while carrying Aurora, against the wall. He looked out to try to see who was coming; he prayed that it wasn't a Schwarz member or someone of the Takatori family. He didn't have the time to fight one of them, and he especially didn't want to leave Aurora alone.
A fraction of a second later, a tall man with fiery red hair and violet eyes carrying a young woman wrapped in his coat trudged into view. "Abyssinian!" Ken called, "Over here!"
Aya looked fearfully in Ken's direction and rushed over to him. Loretta lay unconscious in his arms; blood had started to seep through Aya's coat. Aya caught Ken's stare and answered the question forming in his mind. "They let Farfarello have her." He kissed her forehead. "They were American spies sent to figure out something. That's all they got out of her." He choked back the tears that were trying to form in his eyes. "They hated these bastards...and loved us." His eyes caught the young woman in Ken's arms, "What did they do to her?"
"Tried to get information our of her by using drugs, and...Crawford thought he could have a little...fun, before he tortured her to death." He gazed at her, he needed to get her to a hospital, fast; who knew if she had internal injuries or not? It looked as if Loretta needed a doctor too; she was losing a lot of blood.
"Let's get out of here," Ken said, he turned on his communicator, "Bombay? Balinese? Mission..." he paused, "completed."
Omi answered, "Right, Siberian. Is Abyssinian with you?"
"Yes. Meet us at the check point."
"Roger."
"I think we might have some explaining to do," Ken said softly, and switched off his communicator.
He turned to Aya, "Come on, they'll be waiting for us outside."
The two were barely able to escape without anyone noticing or tripping any alarms. Yohji and Omi were hiding in the shadows just outside the gates. They were shocked to see Aurora and Loretta still very much alive, but Aya and Ken promised to explain everything once the two were safely checked into a hospital.
A/N: So...all of the peeps reading my Inu-Yasha fic had better be reading this! But I know they aren't...sucks to be me. Oh well, review please! The more I get the sooner I update!
