Chapter 2

Charismatic – Omi

He's part of Schwarz, so he's our...enemy. They have hurt all of us countless times; Schwarz is the source of all our losses. They took Aya's sister, Yohji's partner both ways, Ken's best friend, and my whole past it seems.

He is part of Schwarz, and they're our enemy.

But now, since things are...as far back to normal as I think we'll ever feel comfortable with, I'm not so sure.

They still keep their name- Schwarz. We still keep ours- Weiss. But now, there's no reason to be opposites anymore. Or rather, there's no foundation that we ARE opposites anymore. They had been serving the ones that were creating bad things in this world; we were the "heroes" sent out to stop them. But now, they're just assassins by the name of Black. We are just assassins by the name of White.

We can call each other whatever we want, but there's no proof that we're different from each other anymore.

We can still be enemies though; you can be an enemy with yourself. A body is a temple: you can choose to tear it down if you want.

And we are enemies.

Schuldich is part of Schwarz- our foes.

But Schuldich...by himself...is not Schwarz. He is just Schuldich. A guilty man who has never told a lie- or so he said, according to Sakura.

And when Schuldich is not Schwarz, but just Schuldich, he is...interesting, to say the least. He reminds me a lot of Yohji. He's bursting with moods and crudeness in general – when he is not the beast of the so-called "night," he is the hunter, and hunting creatures to have "fun with." He is Yohji's counterpart it seems.

His character itself...holds some sort of air around it.

He hides many secrets; not all of them are his own, he said.

He knew our faces, he had our lives.

But when I met him outside of work, and he merely smirked and started a conversation about the weather – imagine that, the WEATHER, – it was... easy to forget that he could kill me.

He doesn't want to kill us. Because he kept reminding me in my mind when we talked:

'I can kill you so easily, Kitten...'

He piqued my curiosity.

Curiosity killed the cat.

And maybe, eventually, it will kill this Bombay cat.

Because he's my enemy.

Schuldich.

Next chapter is #3: Heinous. In Aya's Point of View.

Also, there's this big motif I have already planned out for this story (it's going to be 9 chapters, in case you're wondering). I'm not telling you what it is, but it will (and probably is by now, unless you think it's coincidence) be very obvious by the 4th chapter. :D See if you can guess. The first person to get it gets a fanfic dedicated to them!

And... if anyone's interested in Weiss Kreuz role-play, read below:

My friend Yamani Amarhu and I have started a Weiss Kreuz role-playing (both yaoi and straight) message board, on EZBoards. If anyone's interested, email me at Shiyamainu@yahoo.com, and/or go to the message board: http: // pub99. ezboard. com/ bdeadringer (Erase the spaces!). ^_^
