Notes: This chapter is for character and plot development, so this is kinda of filler, but it's needed one. This chapter is also focusing more on Ken then Aya and Omi (I think that the fic moved from the two of them as the focus to the main cast plus my OC, but hey whatever the story feels like doing.) Oh, warning: my Hentai muse (Yami) got a little hyper so the first part is kinda dirty.
************
Ken swiped the floor of the Koneko as he sung softly to himself, causing the girls outside to swoon madly.
"Ken-san, has a great voice!" squealed a pink haired girl.
"Not only that, he has a great body from teaching the neighborhood kids soccer."
"Good looking, talented, and great with kids, what more can a girl want?"
"A big-" said a redhead but she couldn't continue because all of them started giggling madly.
"I bet he has one too." Said the pink haired girl with a dreamy look on her face.
"I bet Yoji's bigger."
"Hey!" came the shout of an angry blue haired female florist. "This is not the place to talking about that sort of thing! If you're not going to buy anything leave!" and she gave them her best version of Aya's glare o' death, pointing a pair of pruning sheers at the girls threateningly. Causing the girls to run into the shop and start buying stuff.
"Nice Aya impression," came Yoji's amused voice from behind her.
"Well Aya's not here so someone's gotta keep 'em in line" said the twenty year old, "Besides they went in to buy things, so we're getting business."
"That's true," Yoji said as he carried in the groceries. "Once I got these put away I start my shift."
"OK," Juri called as she turned back to pruning the bush.
"Where's Aya-san?" a girl asked Yoji as he came back out.
"He's spending time with his nephew from out town." Yoji said, giving the girl the cover for what Aya was really doing.
"He was doing that last week," another one pointed out.
"Different nephew, the dude has too many to count." Yoji said as Juri handed him the sheers.
"Oh, I understand how that is, my older sister had triplets, and two sets of twins."
Yoji whistled. "That's too many for me."
"I'm sorry to hear that Yoji, I love kids" came a voice from behind, Yoji turned around to see Manx standing there, holding some folders.
"I take vacation's out the question." Yoji stated.
"Vacation's over actually."
Excusing himself and grabbing Ken they followed Manx down the stairs.
"Where's Aya?" Manx asked once Juri had joined them.
"On a date," said Ken, " Does it matter, he'll probably still take the mission anyways, we'll fill him in."
Manx thought for a moment then put the tape in the VCR, and Persia's face appeared on the large screen TV.
"Hello Weiß, There's been some extremely violent activity in the gangs lately." The screen changed to show a massacre, people dressed up in some of their best clothing, "The Creeper gang is responsible for this carnage, a new leader has wormed his way threw the ranks by orchestrating such massacres." The screen changed again to two men, "These are your targets, Koga Kenji and his right hand man Kouichirou Kase."
Ken's eyes snapped forward to the screen, focusing on the man identified as Kase.
"Hunters of the Night, hunt the tomorrow's of these dark beasts!" was Persia's final statement before the screen went blank.
"Kase," Ken said softly, Juri looked up at him.
"So who's in?" asked Manx, but before any one could say anything before Ken jumped up.
"Manx, there has to be a mistake, Kase couldn't do these things!" he shouted.
"Ken," Manx said softly, "We have agents working twenty-four seven on cases like this, we are a hundred percent sure that this two are to answer for the crimes. We have recordings to prove it." Ken glared at her refusing point blank to believe a word that she was saying. "Maybe it's better if you sit this one out Siberian," she turned to the other two, "Are you in?"
Yoji nodded, Juri looked at Ken, who looked back at her with pleading eyes. "I'm in," she said. With that Ken raced up the stairs.
Raising an eyebrow, Yoji looked to Juri, "What's his problem?"
"I think one of the targets is his friend Kase," she said, "He told me about him awhile ago, Ken was really attached to Kase and trusted him with his life."
Yoji sighed, "That's just great," placing a hand on his forehead and turning to Manx, "So how's the treatment for Schreient going?"
"Good," she answered, "All four of them are doing well, Asuka's recovered all her memories, and the rest are adjusting well to working in Kritiker."
" That's good to hear," said Juri as she made her way upstairs, "I'm going to try to calm Ken down before he does anything drastic,"
"Like go hunt down his friend and tell him he's on hit-list?" Yoji joked and was met with a book in the face, "Ow, damn it, you don't have to throw things at me!"
"Then don't joke about something that serious!" Juri scolded from the kitchen as both he and Manx made their way up stairs.
"She's right you know," Manx said as they entered the kitchen. "I see you later, make sure Siberian doesn't do anything foolish."
"Don't worry, Ken may be a hot head, but it doesn't affect his work, at least it hasn't yet."
"Then let's hope it doesn't start now." And with that Manx left.
Yoji pulled out a cigarette and lit it, "Yeah," he said letting out a stream of smoke, "Let's hope."
************
Aya pulled up in front of Mamoru's apartment building, parking in front of it. "Here you go."
"Thanks for driving me home," Mamoru smiled warmly at him.
"It wasn't a problem," said Aya.
"Do you want to come in for something to drink? Otousan's at the office, Okasan's at work, and Ouka-chan's hanging out with some friends." He opened the door of Aya's Porsche, stepping out into the crisp winter air, "besides it's really cold out, some hot chocolate would do you good."
"No, I really got to get back to the shop," said Aya.
"Oh, OK," Mamoru pouted a little, "I guess I'll see you later then."
Aya sighed slightly and got out of the car, "All right, I'll have something to drink,"
"OK!" Mamoru's face changed from a pout to a smile faster then you could blink, "What do you want?"
"Coffee, black."
Mamoru made a face, "How can you stand that stuff?"
Aya shrugged nonchalantly and followed Mamoru up the stairs.
"Here we are," the blonde said happily as they entered the apartment and headed of towards the kitchen, " Make yourself at home,"
Aya sat down on the couch looking around the room; it had a large TV, a coffee table and some other things that living rooms usually have. There weren't any pictures hanging on the walls, which Aya found interesting, but he guessed that not all families were big on pictures.
Mamoru came back in carrying to mugs, " I still don't get how you stand this stuff," he said, handing the mug to Aya. Sitting down next to him and took a sip of his hot chocolate.
They sat like this for awhile, just enjoying each other's company. Mamoru leaned on Aya's side and place his mug down, watching the steam rise into the air as he placed his head on Aya's shoulder. "I wish we could do this more often," Mamoru said in a near whisper.
Aya didn't say anything; he placed his mug next to Mamoru's and warped an arm around his waist, drawling him a little closer. Mamoru closed his eyes and listened to Aya's breathing. He felt Aya put a kiss in his hair he snuggled closer, smiling as Aya brought him into a full embrace. It wasn't often when they did stuff like this. Aya just wasn't a hugging type of person, so the most they usually did was hold hands. Opening his eyes Mamoru smiled up at Aya, who leaned forward and put a gentle kiss upon his lips. The kiss lasted for awhile and they both broke apart, gazing dreamily into each other's eyes.
"Do you want to see my room?" Mamoru asked shyly, "We can't do this here, Okasan might come back to get some ingredients if they run out."
Aya didn't say anything, he didn't need to. Mamoru shyly took his hand and led him to his room.
(Yami: "What happened?" Shido: "What do think happened? You're my muse of Hentainess." Yami: "Oh yeah." *smirk*)
*************
Ken sat on his bike waiting for Kase to come out of the building he was standing in front of. Come on Kase, he thought, come on.
Another thirty minuets passed and Ken was rewarded for his waiting. Kase walked out wearing a suit and carrying a briefcase, talking to some important looking people.
Ken felt a happiness that he hadn't felt for a long, long time. "Kase!" he called up to the man. "Kase, it's me Ken! Hidaka Ken!"
Kase stared at him for a moment in disbelief and shock, then his face spilt into a smile. "Ken!" he called, racing down the steps and embraced Ken in a hug. "I thought you were dead!"
" I am," Ken said jokingly as Kase pulled away slightly, " I took over a random medium's body to talk to you." He smiled at his childhood friend, " It's good to see you Kase, I can't believe that the Yakuza let you live."
"I'm not sure myself, but hey here I am." Kase shrugged " Yuriko will be so happy to see that you're alive."
" How she doing? Still into biking?" Ken asked.
"You know her, motorcycles are her life."
"Let's get together, the three of us. It'll be just like old times."
"Sounds great."
************ Mamoru smiled to himself as he gently stroked Aya's hair. Both of them were underneath the covers on his bed. He couldn't believe it. It happened. He and Aya had made love for the first time, and he was no longer a virgin. He blushed realizing what that meant. Wow, he thought, just wow.
Aya stirred in his sleep and opened his violet eyes, gazing gently at his lover. " You OK?"
Mamoru nodded, " Yeah, I'm just grasping the fact that it happened. I mean we did it. My first time," he blushed, " It's just . . .Wow . . . I'm not a virgin anymore." He snuggled into Aya's chest.
Aya smiled slightly and started to stroke Mamoru's back. " I didn't hurt you did I."
Mamoru hesitated. " At first it hurt a little, but once I got used to it, it was great." He smiled " I was told that the first time's the worst, but if that the worst my sex life's going to be a blast." Then he hid into Aya's chest, not really believing he just said that.
" Hey Aniki," came Ouka's voice as she entered the room, " I'm going with Sakura and Hikaru to that-" she paused as she saw her brother in bed, naked. " Mamoru, what the, Aya-san." Her face turned a bright shade of red as she stared.
Mamoru stared wide-eyed at his sister. " Ouka-chan,"
Ouka seemed to get over her shock a little and said; " Uh, I'm going to the mall, uh, try not to...Uh, I'm just going to go. Bye." Still in shock she closed the door.
" ...That was...odd," Mamoru commented, his eyes still wide from shock
Aya shrugged before getting up and rummaging around for his clothes, " I gotta get back to the shop."
" OK," Mamoru yawned, and snuggled into his pillow, " I'll see you later then." He yawned again.
Aya smiled and lightly touched his lover's face as he fell asleep. After making sure the room looked like nothing happened, then left.
**************
" Ken it's great to see you again," Yuriko beamed at her childhood friend.
" It's great to see you again too Yuriko," Ken smiled at her, " So what have you been up to for the last three years?"
" I've started my own bike shop after I got fired from the traveling company," she answered after she took a bite of sushi.
" What did you do to get fired?"
Yuriko shrugged, " My boss and I didn't get along, and we got into a fight, so she fired me."
Ken raised his eyebrow, " I see,"
Kase took a sip of sake and turned to Ken, " So what have you been doing after the...incident."
" Well," Ken paused before going into the official story of what happened, " I woke up in the hospital, after that I went to find work and I found work at The Kitty in the House Flower shop."
" A flower shop?" Yuriko asked stifling a giggle, " I didn't think you liked flowers, much less know how to take care of them."
" It was the only thing I could find." Ken said taking a bite of squid. " And it's not so bad."
" I bet you get a lot of fangirls," Yuriko giggled.
" We do, the four of us do."
"So you have four hot guys working in a flower shop."
" Three guys, one girl, and an old woman who doesn't do much other than make sure we're doing our jobs."
" Sounds tough." Yuriko commented.
" The girls are the worst, no I take that back, Yoji, one of my coworkers, flirting with the girls and not doing anything is the worst."
Yuriko giggled, " He sounds like a player."
Ken crossed his arms and made a face, " He is, and he's as lazy as they come."
" What about your other coworkers? What are they like?"
Ken thought for a moment, " Juri's cool, she knows how to talk to people and she's good a plumbing, and she the has the dirtiest mind and is the biggest yaoi fan that I know. Then there's Aya, he's can be cold-hearted sometimes, most of the time. But he's a lot better since he started dating Mamoru."
Yuriko smiled, " That's good. Love makes people change."
Ken nodded before downing some sake. " Yes that's true."
Kase's cell rung, he took it out from his pocket and answered it, " Hello, Kouichirou here...uh hah, OK....I'll be there in a little bit." He hung up. " Gotta go I'll see you later." He turned to Ken, " Ken, now that I know you're a live again I'll find out who framed you."
Yuriko's face became serious, " I'll help you too. Who ever did that to you deserves to rot in jail."
" Thanks. You have no idea how much that means to me."
***************
" Hey Aya!" Yoji said as his partner walked in the door, " You're late, did you and Mamo-chan get down and dirty with it?"
Aya grunted and continued to walk.
" Hi Aya," Juri beamed at him, " How'd your date go?"
" Aya got laid." Yoji called out.
" Did you?" Juri asked excitedly, " That's cool!"
Aya glared at the two of them. " Why aren't you in the shop?"
" Yoji decided to close up early," Juri chirped, " Did you and Mamoru really do it?"
Yoji chose that moment to walk behind Aya and sniffed, " You smell different."
" What's that have to do with anything?" Juri asked curiously.
" Don't you know, after someone gets laid they smell like sex, Aya smells like sex." Yoji said with the air of a schoolteacher telling a school child that one plus one equals two.
" Really? I never knew."
Aya chose to ignore them and sat down on the couch. " Oh, Aya." He looked at Juri, " Mission came up. Koga Kenji and Kouichirou Kase, they're the leaders of the creeper gang," she passed him a folder. " To the public they're the owner and personal assistant to the owner of Asia Construction."
Aya opened the folder and started to read it.
Yoji whispered to Juri, " Do we tell him that Ken has a connection to one of the targets?"
" No," Juri whispered back, " It's not that important, Kase is a dead man either way."
"That won't make Ken happy."
" I know, but we just have to deal with it." Juri said frowning, " But it's a fact that Kase is a killer, Ken just has accept that."
****************
Ken yawned as he drove Yuriko home.
"You want to crash on my couch tonight?" she asked, " It'll be just like old times."
" Why not?" Ken said with a lop sided smile.
They walked into the apartment and Ken flopped down on the couch.
" So now that you have found Kase again will you hook up with him again?" Yuriko asked as she got out two glasses.
Ken, startled by the question, sat up, and looked at Yuriko, " How did you know?"
" When we thought you were dead I went rummaging around in your apartment. Looking for you, hoping that you had made it out and you went back home." She paused, " I was so shocked that I looked under the bed, in the closet, the fridge, even in the shoe box that you kept your journal in." She poured some water from the tap into the glasses. " I was curious so I read it and found out about you and Kase. Needless to say I was shocked. I would have never had guessed but then again....things aren't always how they seem."
She handed him a glass, " Here."
" I'm sorry Yuriko."
" What for?"
" For not seeking you out, I knew you were alive, even though I thought Kase was dead, I still should have gone to find you."
Yuriko smiled softly, " It's OK." She yawned, " I'm going to bed, see you in the mourning."
" Night"
The mourning sun shone through the window when Ken awoke. He saw a note from Yuriko.
'Ken, Gone to work. Didn't want to wake you. Let's get together and hang out again some time.'
Ken stretched and wrote a note back, saying that he would contact her soon and she should visit him in the flower shop some time. He smiled to him self as he left.
" Hey Ken!"
" Kase!" Ken hollered down at the man on the streets, " Shouldn't you be at work?" he playfully scolded.
" Today's my day off, how 'bout just the two of us going out some where, like old times?"
" Sure. Just as soon as I get down."
Kase drove them in his car to the park for some ice cream and then they went to the arcade, where they challenged each other in who could live the longest. It was the most fun Ken had since he joined up with Weiß.
" This is great," Ken sighed as he sat down on a bench in the park, " I feel alive again."
" I bet."
" Hey Kase?" Ken asked remembering that he was a part of Weiß.
" What is it Ken?"
"Do you know anything about the Creeper Gang?"
Kase seemed a bit thrown off, " As much as the next person, why?"
Ken paused. What should I tell him, he thought. "This is going to sound strange but I'm an undercover police agent." Well that's close enough to the truth. " I'm on a case dealing with them and it's suspected that Koga is the leader of it."
" You...you can't be serious, is that the only reason you came back? So you could get the dirt on Koga?"
" No, I didn't know you were alive until I got the case, that's how I found out that you were alive."
" Even so, Koga-san has been good to me. He rescued me from the Yakuza, gave me a job. He's like a father to me."
" We have all the evidence needed to convict him Kase," Ken said looking at his former lover, " I'm sorry, but there's no doubt about it. Koga is..."
Kase cut him off. " I see, things that I didn't understand before are making since now, like how he knew that I was at the warehouse." He paused " Ken, I think he's the one who set you up, drugged your water and accused you of betting on the game and throwing it on purpose." He rummaged around in his pocket, took out a piece of paper and wrote something on it. " This is where Koga lives." He looked at his watch. " I gotta go."
" I thought today was your day off."
"It is, but I forgot to do something."
" Wait," Ken grabbed him and drew him in for a kiss. " I missed you so much you know that?"
" I missed you too Ken." Kase said before their lips met.
Behind a tree Juri stood, listening to everything being said. Ken no baka! She thought. You're not supposed to tell him anything, even though he's trying to help. She turned her head so she was watching the two kiss. Oh well, it's not every day you see two guys kissing, even though Kase is defiantly not in the same league as Ken.
She watched as the two broke apart and Ken left with a smile plastered on his face.
" What an idiot," Juri heard Kase say, " He thinks I don't know about him being in Weiß. Oh well, one less Kritiker assassin is a good thing."
" That jerk," Juri seethed quietly, " I have half a mind to start chucking eggs at you. You should feel lucky to know that I rather not have Aya kill me." She took out one egg, " Well one egg couldn't hurt." She ducked out from behind the tree and threw it at Kase's retreating back where it met his head with a satisfying yell and crunch.
***************** Later that night Ken stood infront of Koga's mansion. Nodding to himself he walked in the door, and walked up towards Koga's office. Once he found it he place one hand on the handle while he pulled the trigger on his bugnuks. Opening the door he made a sprint towards Koga then stopped. Koga was already dead. " What the....?"
" You never learned Ken."
Ken spun around to see Kase there, behind a window, sitting at a table drinking some wine.
" Kase!"
" Very good Ken, very good," he said as he got up. " You have no idea how much help you've been to me. First the two of us became pros in the J- league, but while you were top goalie, top player even, I warmed the bench. At first I was jealous, but then I realized that soccer wasn't for me. So I hooked up with Koga and we came up with a plan to make a lot of money. Unfortunately, you needed to removed from the picture for three reasons, one; you wouldn't let me quit in a million years. Two; you were easy to use. And three; well, I did say I was jealous, I wanted to see you brought down a notch."
Tears were streaming down Ken's face at this point. " Are you saying that....that everything you said you did for me, all of it was a lie?"
" Including me saying I loved you?" Ken nodded, " Yes, but hey you were good sex, I didn't want to lose that before I had to."
" You bastard!" Ken shouted at him and raced for the window. A gunshot was heard and Ken fell to the floor.
" Poor Ken. You should have realized that I had gun. Oh well. Oh I didn't tell you how helpful you were this time, yet a again you prove to be a scapegoat." He pocketed the gun. " I never really liked you, but this is good bye."
*******************
Half an hour Kase stepped out of his car, followed by some goons. " What's the first thing we should do with our company and gang?" he asked.
" You should go to hell."
" What the hell?" Kase looked up the stairs to see Ken standing there. " How the hell did you survive?"
" Hell wouldn't take me unless I had you." Ken said, his face emotionless but his brown eyes were blazing.
Kase did a hand motion to his cronies and the scattered into the trees. " Are you going to kill me?"
" Yes."
"Aren't the rest of Weiß here?" he asked, " You're wondering how I know aren't you."
" Not really. Since you're going to die"
Kase smiled at him. " Actually I think it's you who's going to die." He made another hand motion; one that meant his men would start firing any second. But nothing happened.
" We already took care of your goons Kase." Ken said as he took a step forward.
Kase lost his cool and collapsed onto the ground "Stay away!" he screamed pathetically, " Stay the hell away from me!" He fumbled for his gun.
Ken sprinted forward, his bugnuks drawn and ready for blood. Kase looked up at him, fear in his eyes, and also the look of someone who knew that they were going to die, and knew they were going to hell. Ken closed his eyes and struck.
It was over in a second. Kase laid dead on the ground, his entire front slashed.
Juri walked over to Ken and embraced him in a hug as he broke down and cried.
**************
A couple days later Ken was sweeping the floor of the shop, keeping his eyes down so he couldn't make eye contact.
" Ken," came a soft voice, it was Yuriko.
" Yuriko."
" Ken, did you here about what happened to Kase?"
"Yes, I did."
" Are you OK?"
" No, but I....," he choked back a sob, " I can only move forward from here. How are you?"
" I'm not so good myself. So I'm going to Australia."
" What? Yuriko you can't do that we just found each other again."
" I know, and I know I'm being a little selfish, but I need to get away for awhile. I'll be back. When I'm back I'll be sure to check up on you," she smiled at him, " Don't worry I'll be back." She gave him a hug and a quick kiss on the cheek. " I'll see you."
" Bye, have a safe trip." Ken smiled at her.
" I will."
*********************
And that was chapter seven. As you could probably tell I don't like Kase. It was more of Ken chapter then I was hoping, but hey whatever works. Next chapter will focus on Mamoru and Aya.
Preview:
Ken: Our Missions are now focusing more on Takatori now. Will our final mission be soon?
Yoji: Hey, why is Mamoru hanging out with those Schwarz guys?
Aya: No that's impossible. That's a lie!
Manx: The truth will hurt when it comes out.
Ken: Secrets are reviled next time, Please look forward to it!
Notes: This chapter is for character and plot development, so this is kinda of filler, but it's needed one. This chapter is also focusing more on Ken then Aya and Omi (I think that the fic moved from the two of them as the focus to the main cast plus my OC, but hey whatever the story feels like doing.) Oh, warning: my Hentai muse (Yami) got a little hyper so the first part is kinda dirty.
************
Ken swiped the floor of the Koneko as he sung softly to himself, causing the girls outside to swoon madly.
"Ken-san, has a great voice!" squealed a pink haired girl.
"Not only that, he has a great body from teaching the neighborhood kids soccer."
"Good looking, talented, and great with kids, what more can a girl want?"
"A big-" said a redhead but she couldn't continue because all of them started giggling madly.
"I bet he has one too." Said the pink haired girl with a dreamy look on her face.
"I bet Yoji's bigger."
"Hey!" came the shout of an angry blue haired female florist. "This is not the place to talking about that sort of thing! If you're not going to buy anything leave!" and she gave them her best version of Aya's glare o' death, pointing a pair of pruning sheers at the girls threateningly. Causing the girls to run into the shop and start buying stuff.
"Nice Aya impression," came Yoji's amused voice from behind her.
"Well Aya's not here so someone's gotta keep 'em in line" said the twenty year old, "Besides they went in to buy things, so we're getting business."
"That's true," Yoji said as he carried in the groceries. "Once I got these put away I start my shift."
"OK," Juri called as she turned back to pruning the bush.
"Where's Aya-san?" a girl asked Yoji as he came back out.
"He's spending time with his nephew from out town." Yoji said, giving the girl the cover for what Aya was really doing.
"He was doing that last week," another one pointed out.
"Different nephew, the dude has too many to count." Yoji said as Juri handed him the sheers.
"Oh, I understand how that is, my older sister had triplets, and two sets of twins."
Yoji whistled. "That's too many for me."
"I'm sorry to hear that Yoji, I love kids" came a voice from behind, Yoji turned around to see Manx standing there, holding some folders.
"I take vacation's out the question." Yoji stated.
"Vacation's over actually."
Excusing himself and grabbing Ken they followed Manx down the stairs.
"Where's Aya?" Manx asked once Juri had joined them.
"On a date," said Ken, " Does it matter, he'll probably still take the mission anyways, we'll fill him in."
Manx thought for a moment then put the tape in the VCR, and Persia's face appeared on the large screen TV.
"Hello Weiß, There's been some extremely violent activity in the gangs lately." The screen changed to show a massacre, people dressed up in some of their best clothing, "The Creeper gang is responsible for this carnage, a new leader has wormed his way threw the ranks by orchestrating such massacres." The screen changed again to two men, "These are your targets, Koga Kenji and his right hand man Kouichirou Kase."
Ken's eyes snapped forward to the screen, focusing on the man identified as Kase.
"Hunters of the Night, hunt the tomorrow's of these dark beasts!" was Persia's final statement before the screen went blank.
"Kase," Ken said softly, Juri looked up at him.
"So who's in?" asked Manx, but before any one could say anything before Ken jumped up.
"Manx, there has to be a mistake, Kase couldn't do these things!" he shouted.
"Ken," Manx said softly, "We have agents working twenty-four seven on cases like this, we are a hundred percent sure that this two are to answer for the crimes. We have recordings to prove it." Ken glared at her refusing point blank to believe a word that she was saying. "Maybe it's better if you sit this one out Siberian," she turned to the other two, "Are you in?"
Yoji nodded, Juri looked at Ken, who looked back at her with pleading eyes. "I'm in," she said. With that Ken raced up the stairs.
Raising an eyebrow, Yoji looked to Juri, "What's his problem?"
"I think one of the targets is his friend Kase," she said, "He told me about him awhile ago, Ken was really attached to Kase and trusted him with his life."
Yoji sighed, "That's just great," placing a hand on his forehead and turning to Manx, "So how's the treatment for Schreient going?"
"Good," she answered, "All four of them are doing well, Asuka's recovered all her memories, and the rest are adjusting well to working in Kritiker."
" That's good to hear," said Juri as she made her way upstairs, "I'm going to try to calm Ken down before he does anything drastic,"
"Like go hunt down his friend and tell him he's on hit-list?" Yoji joked and was met with a book in the face, "Ow, damn it, you don't have to throw things at me!"
"Then don't joke about something that serious!" Juri scolded from the kitchen as both he and Manx made their way up stairs.
"She's right you know," Manx said as they entered the kitchen. "I see you later, make sure Siberian doesn't do anything foolish."
"Don't worry, Ken may be a hot head, but it doesn't affect his work, at least it hasn't yet."
"Then let's hope it doesn't start now." And with that Manx left.
Yoji pulled out a cigarette and lit it, "Yeah," he said letting out a stream of smoke, "Let's hope."
************
Aya pulled up in front of Mamoru's apartment building, parking in front of it. "Here you go."
"Thanks for driving me home," Mamoru smiled warmly at him.
"It wasn't a problem," said Aya.
"Do you want to come in for something to drink? Otousan's at the office, Okasan's at work, and Ouka-chan's hanging out with some friends." He opened the door of Aya's Porsche, stepping out into the crisp winter air, "besides it's really cold out, some hot chocolate would do you good."
"No, I really got to get back to the shop," said Aya.
"Oh, OK," Mamoru pouted a little, "I guess I'll see you later then."
Aya sighed slightly and got out of the car, "All right, I'll have something to drink,"
"OK!" Mamoru's face changed from a pout to a smile faster then you could blink, "What do you want?"
"Coffee, black."
Mamoru made a face, "How can you stand that stuff?"
Aya shrugged nonchalantly and followed Mamoru up the stairs.
"Here we are," the blonde said happily as they entered the apartment and headed of towards the kitchen, " Make yourself at home,"
Aya sat down on the couch looking around the room; it had a large TV, a coffee table and some other things that living rooms usually have. There weren't any pictures hanging on the walls, which Aya found interesting, but he guessed that not all families were big on pictures.
Mamoru came back in carrying to mugs, " I still don't get how you stand this stuff," he said, handing the mug to Aya. Sitting down next to him and took a sip of his hot chocolate.
They sat like this for awhile, just enjoying each other's company. Mamoru leaned on Aya's side and place his mug down, watching the steam rise into the air as he placed his head on Aya's shoulder. "I wish we could do this more often," Mamoru said in a near whisper.
Aya didn't say anything; he placed his mug next to Mamoru's and warped an arm around his waist, drawling him a little closer. Mamoru closed his eyes and listened to Aya's breathing. He felt Aya put a kiss in his hair he snuggled closer, smiling as Aya brought him into a full embrace. It wasn't often when they did stuff like this. Aya just wasn't a hugging type of person, so the most they usually did was hold hands. Opening his eyes Mamoru smiled up at Aya, who leaned forward and put a gentle kiss upon his lips. The kiss lasted for awhile and they both broke apart, gazing dreamily into each other's eyes.
"Do you want to see my room?" Mamoru asked shyly, "We can't do this here, Okasan might come back to get some ingredients if they run out."
Aya didn't say anything, he didn't need to. Mamoru shyly took his hand and led him to his room.
(Yami: "What happened?" Shido: "What do think happened? You're my muse of Hentainess." Yami: "Oh yeah." *smirk*)
*************
Ken sat on his bike waiting for Kase to come out of the building he was standing in front of. Come on Kase, he thought, come on.
Another thirty minuets passed and Ken was rewarded for his waiting. Kase walked out wearing a suit and carrying a briefcase, talking to some important looking people.
Ken felt a happiness that he hadn't felt for a long, long time. "Kase!" he called up to the man. "Kase, it's me Ken! Hidaka Ken!"
Kase stared at him for a moment in disbelief and shock, then his face spilt into a smile. "Ken!" he called, racing down the steps and embraced Ken in a hug. "I thought you were dead!"
" I am," Ken said jokingly as Kase pulled away slightly, " I took over a random medium's body to talk to you." He smiled at his childhood friend, " It's good to see you Kase, I can't believe that the Yakuza let you live."
"I'm not sure myself, but hey here I am." Kase shrugged " Yuriko will be so happy to see that you're alive."
" How she doing? Still into biking?" Ken asked.
"You know her, motorcycles are her life."
"Let's get together, the three of us. It'll be just like old times."
"Sounds great."
************ Mamoru smiled to himself as he gently stroked Aya's hair. Both of them were underneath the covers on his bed. He couldn't believe it. It happened. He and Aya had made love for the first time, and he was no longer a virgin. He blushed realizing what that meant. Wow, he thought, just wow.
Aya stirred in his sleep and opened his violet eyes, gazing gently at his lover. " You OK?"
Mamoru nodded, " Yeah, I'm just grasping the fact that it happened. I mean we did it. My first time," he blushed, " It's just . . .Wow . . . I'm not a virgin anymore." He snuggled into Aya's chest.
Aya smiled slightly and started to stroke Mamoru's back. " I didn't hurt you did I."
Mamoru hesitated. " At first it hurt a little, but once I got used to it, it was great." He smiled " I was told that the first time's the worst, but if that the worst my sex life's going to be a blast." Then he hid into Aya's chest, not really believing he just said that.
" Hey Aniki," came Ouka's voice as she entered the room, " I'm going with Sakura and Hikaru to that-" she paused as she saw her brother in bed, naked. " Mamoru, what the, Aya-san." Her face turned a bright shade of red as she stared.
Mamoru stared wide-eyed at his sister. " Ouka-chan,"
Ouka seemed to get over her shock a little and said; " Uh, I'm going to the mall, uh, try not to...Uh, I'm just going to go. Bye." Still in shock she closed the door.
" ...That was...odd," Mamoru commented, his eyes still wide from shock
Aya shrugged before getting up and rummaging around for his clothes, " I gotta get back to the shop."
" OK," Mamoru yawned, and snuggled into his pillow, " I'll see you later then." He yawned again.
Aya smiled and lightly touched his lover's face as he fell asleep. After making sure the room looked like nothing happened, then left.
**************
" Ken it's great to see you again," Yuriko beamed at her childhood friend.
" It's great to see you again too Yuriko," Ken smiled at her, " So what have you been up to for the last three years?"
" I've started my own bike shop after I got fired from the traveling company," she answered after she took a bite of sushi.
" What did you do to get fired?"
Yuriko shrugged, " My boss and I didn't get along, and we got into a fight, so she fired me."
Ken raised his eyebrow, " I see,"
Kase took a sip of sake and turned to Ken, " So what have you been doing after the...incident."
" Well," Ken paused before going into the official story of what happened, " I woke up in the hospital, after that I went to find work and I found work at The Kitty in the House Flower shop."
" A flower shop?" Yuriko asked stifling a giggle, " I didn't think you liked flowers, much less know how to take care of them."
" It was the only thing I could find." Ken said taking a bite of squid. " And it's not so bad."
" I bet you get a lot of fangirls," Yuriko giggled.
" We do, the four of us do."
"So you have four hot guys working in a flower shop."
" Three guys, one girl, and an old woman who doesn't do much other than make sure we're doing our jobs."
" Sounds tough." Yuriko commented.
" The girls are the worst, no I take that back, Yoji, one of my coworkers, flirting with the girls and not doing anything is the worst."
Yuriko giggled, " He sounds like a player."
Ken crossed his arms and made a face, " He is, and he's as lazy as they come."
" What about your other coworkers? What are they like?"
Ken thought for a moment, " Juri's cool, she knows how to talk to people and she's good a plumbing, and she the has the dirtiest mind and is the biggest yaoi fan that I know. Then there's Aya, he's can be cold-hearted sometimes, most of the time. But he's a lot better since he started dating Mamoru."
Yuriko smiled, " That's good. Love makes people change."
Ken nodded before downing some sake. " Yes that's true."
Kase's cell rung, he took it out from his pocket and answered it, " Hello, Kouichirou here...uh hah, OK....I'll be there in a little bit." He hung up. " Gotta go I'll see you later." He turned to Ken, " Ken, now that I know you're a live again I'll find out who framed you."
Yuriko's face became serious, " I'll help you too. Who ever did that to you deserves to rot in jail."
" Thanks. You have no idea how much that means to me."
***************
" Hey Aya!" Yoji said as his partner walked in the door, " You're late, did you and Mamo-chan get down and dirty with it?"
Aya grunted and continued to walk.
" Hi Aya," Juri beamed at him, " How'd your date go?"
" Aya got laid." Yoji called out.
" Did you?" Juri asked excitedly, " That's cool!"
Aya glared at the two of them. " Why aren't you in the shop?"
" Yoji decided to close up early," Juri chirped, " Did you and Mamoru really do it?"
Yoji chose that moment to walk behind Aya and sniffed, " You smell different."
" What's that have to do with anything?" Juri asked curiously.
" Don't you know, after someone gets laid they smell like sex, Aya smells like sex." Yoji said with the air of a schoolteacher telling a school child that one plus one equals two.
" Really? I never knew."
Aya chose to ignore them and sat down on the couch. " Oh, Aya." He looked at Juri, " Mission came up. Koga Kenji and Kouichirou Kase, they're the leaders of the creeper gang," she passed him a folder. " To the public they're the owner and personal assistant to the owner of Asia Construction."
Aya opened the folder and started to read it.
Yoji whispered to Juri, " Do we tell him that Ken has a connection to one of the targets?"
" No," Juri whispered back, " It's not that important, Kase is a dead man either way."
"That won't make Ken happy."
" I know, but we just have to deal with it." Juri said frowning, " But it's a fact that Kase is a killer, Ken just has accept that."
****************
Ken yawned as he drove Yuriko home.
"You want to crash on my couch tonight?" she asked, " It'll be just like old times."
" Why not?" Ken said with a lop sided smile.
They walked into the apartment and Ken flopped down on the couch.
" So now that you have found Kase again will you hook up with him again?" Yuriko asked as she got out two glasses.
Ken, startled by the question, sat up, and looked at Yuriko, " How did you know?"
" When we thought you were dead I went rummaging around in your apartment. Looking for you, hoping that you had made it out and you went back home." She paused, " I was so shocked that I looked under the bed, in the closet, the fridge, even in the shoe box that you kept your journal in." She poured some water from the tap into the glasses. " I was curious so I read it and found out about you and Kase. Needless to say I was shocked. I would have never had guessed but then again....things aren't always how they seem."
She handed him a glass, " Here."
" I'm sorry Yuriko."
" What for?"
" For not seeking you out, I knew you were alive, even though I thought Kase was dead, I still should have gone to find you."
Yuriko smiled softly, " It's OK." She yawned, " I'm going to bed, see you in the mourning."
" Night"
The mourning sun shone through the window when Ken awoke. He saw a note from Yuriko.
'Ken, Gone to work. Didn't want to wake you. Let's get together and hang out again some time.'
Ken stretched and wrote a note back, saying that he would contact her soon and she should visit him in the flower shop some time. He smiled to him self as he left.
" Hey Ken!"
" Kase!" Ken hollered down at the man on the streets, " Shouldn't you be at work?" he playfully scolded.
" Today's my day off, how 'bout just the two of us going out some where, like old times?"
" Sure. Just as soon as I get down."
Kase drove them in his car to the park for some ice cream and then they went to the arcade, where they challenged each other in who could live the longest. It was the most fun Ken had since he joined up with Weiß.
" This is great," Ken sighed as he sat down on a bench in the park, " I feel alive again."
" I bet."
" Hey Kase?" Ken asked remembering that he was a part of Weiß.
" What is it Ken?"
"Do you know anything about the Creeper Gang?"
Kase seemed a bit thrown off, " As much as the next person, why?"
Ken paused. What should I tell him, he thought. "This is going to sound strange but I'm an undercover police agent." Well that's close enough to the truth. " I'm on a case dealing with them and it's suspected that Koga is the leader of it."
" You...you can't be serious, is that the only reason you came back? So you could get the dirt on Koga?"
" No, I didn't know you were alive until I got the case, that's how I found out that you were alive."
" Even so, Koga-san has been good to me. He rescued me from the Yakuza, gave me a job. He's like a father to me."
" We have all the evidence needed to convict him Kase," Ken said looking at his former lover, " I'm sorry, but there's no doubt about it. Koga is..."
Kase cut him off. " I see, things that I didn't understand before are making since now, like how he knew that I was at the warehouse." He paused " Ken, I think he's the one who set you up, drugged your water and accused you of betting on the game and throwing it on purpose." He rummaged around in his pocket, took out a piece of paper and wrote something on it. " This is where Koga lives." He looked at his watch. " I gotta go."
" I thought today was your day off."
"It is, but I forgot to do something."
" Wait," Ken grabbed him and drew him in for a kiss. " I missed you so much you know that?"
" I missed you too Ken." Kase said before their lips met.
Behind a tree Juri stood, listening to everything being said. Ken no baka! She thought. You're not supposed to tell him anything, even though he's trying to help. She turned her head so she was watching the two kiss. Oh well, it's not every day you see two guys kissing, even though Kase is defiantly not in the same league as Ken.
She watched as the two broke apart and Ken left with a smile plastered on his face.
" What an idiot," Juri heard Kase say, " He thinks I don't know about him being in Weiß. Oh well, one less Kritiker assassin is a good thing."
" That jerk," Juri seethed quietly, " I have half a mind to start chucking eggs at you. You should feel lucky to know that I rather not have Aya kill me." She took out one egg, " Well one egg couldn't hurt." She ducked out from behind the tree and threw it at Kase's retreating back where it met his head with a satisfying yell and crunch.
***************** Later that night Ken stood infront of Koga's mansion. Nodding to himself he walked in the door, and walked up towards Koga's office. Once he found it he place one hand on the handle while he pulled the trigger on his bugnuks. Opening the door he made a sprint towards Koga then stopped. Koga was already dead. " What the....?"
" You never learned Ken."
Ken spun around to see Kase there, behind a window, sitting at a table drinking some wine.
" Kase!"
" Very good Ken, very good," he said as he got up. " You have no idea how much help you've been to me. First the two of us became pros in the J- league, but while you were top goalie, top player even, I warmed the bench. At first I was jealous, but then I realized that soccer wasn't for me. So I hooked up with Koga and we came up with a plan to make a lot of money. Unfortunately, you needed to removed from the picture for three reasons, one; you wouldn't let me quit in a million years. Two; you were easy to use. And three; well, I did say I was jealous, I wanted to see you brought down a notch."
Tears were streaming down Ken's face at this point. " Are you saying that....that everything you said you did for me, all of it was a lie?"
" Including me saying I loved you?" Ken nodded, " Yes, but hey you were good sex, I didn't want to lose that before I had to."
" You bastard!" Ken shouted at him and raced for the window. A gunshot was heard and Ken fell to the floor.
" Poor Ken. You should have realized that I had gun. Oh well. Oh I didn't tell you how helpful you were this time, yet a again you prove to be a scapegoat." He pocketed the gun. " I never really liked you, but this is good bye."
*******************
Half an hour Kase stepped out of his car, followed by some goons. " What's the first thing we should do with our company and gang?" he asked.
" You should go to hell."
" What the hell?" Kase looked up the stairs to see Ken standing there. " How the hell did you survive?"
" Hell wouldn't take me unless I had you." Ken said, his face emotionless but his brown eyes were blazing.
Kase did a hand motion to his cronies and the scattered into the trees. " Are you going to kill me?"
" Yes."
"Aren't the rest of Weiß here?" he asked, " You're wondering how I know aren't you."
" Not really. Since you're going to die"
Kase smiled at him. " Actually I think it's you who's going to die." He made another hand motion; one that meant his men would start firing any second. But nothing happened.
" We already took care of your goons Kase." Ken said as he took a step forward.
Kase lost his cool and collapsed onto the ground "Stay away!" he screamed pathetically, " Stay the hell away from me!" He fumbled for his gun.
Ken sprinted forward, his bugnuks drawn and ready for blood. Kase looked up at him, fear in his eyes, and also the look of someone who knew that they were going to die, and knew they were going to hell. Ken closed his eyes and struck.
It was over in a second. Kase laid dead on the ground, his entire front slashed.
Juri walked over to Ken and embraced him in a hug as he broke down and cried.
**************
A couple days later Ken was sweeping the floor of the shop, keeping his eyes down so he couldn't make eye contact.
" Ken," came a soft voice, it was Yuriko.
" Yuriko."
" Ken, did you here about what happened to Kase?"
"Yes, I did."
" Are you OK?"
" No, but I....," he choked back a sob, " I can only move forward from here. How are you?"
" I'm not so good myself. So I'm going to Australia."
" What? Yuriko you can't do that we just found each other again."
" I know, and I know I'm being a little selfish, but I need to get away for awhile. I'll be back. When I'm back I'll be sure to check up on you," she smiled at him, " Don't worry I'll be back." She gave him a hug and a quick kiss on the cheek. " I'll see you."
" Bye, have a safe trip." Ken smiled at her.
" I will."
