" This isn't Reality, this is Fantasy." ~ Uhura, Star Track III: The search for Spock
Schuldig smiled as Farfarello got his wounds cleaned by the newest member of Schwarz. He turned his head so he could see Crawford watching the boy as Farf was healed by the boy's psychic powers.
The boy joined their team only six months ago, but already he had made his way into the hearts of the other four members of the team. His healing powers were a nice bonus, it allowed the other members of Schwarz to heal faster and go back into action sooner.
" There you go," the boy told the albino man, " Next time you go up against Weiß try not be as reckless. Balinese got you good."
Schuldig smirked and walked over to the pair as Farfarello examined his arm. " Why should we do that Schmeterling, you're here to take care of us."
The blonde gave a cute glare at the German, " I don't last. Healing takes a lot out of me."
Schuldig took the small blonde into his arms and kissed the silky locks of his lover. " Don't worry I'll take care of you."
The boy smiled, " I know."
" Must you get all mushy?" Nagi asked.
" Shut up you," Schuldig said and stuck out his tongue.
" Doesn't it embarrass you that I'm sixteen and you twenty-three, yet I'm more mature?" The boy looked up at the German with his large blue eyes.
" Of course not Schmeterling." Schuldig said happily.
" Don't call me that."
" But it suits you."
Farfarello raised an eyebrow, " What does Schmeterling mean?"
Schuldig cast a sidelong smile at the blonde as he let go of his lover and turned to Farfarello, " It means 'Butterfly'. Don't you think it fits?"
Farf gave an amused smile, " Yes it does."
" See there Omi, even Farfie agrees."
Omi crossed his arms and pouted, " Whatever."
Manx looked around the room. Taking in each of Weißs' faces. Each had a look of determination. Aya looked the saddest out of the bunch.
It's been a year, Manx thought, a year since any of them had kill. Since they started to live real lives again.
" I'm sorry..." Manx began but was cut off by Yoji.
" Don't worry about it. We got ourselves into it. Schwarz must like us." He said with a lop-sided smile.
Juri looked up at Manx, " So what's the mission?"
" Your mission is find out who's the leader of a new child prostitution ring called " Steps to Heaven,"" she grimaced to show how much the entire thing disgusted her.
" Do we get a video?" Ken asked, but Manx shook her head.
" We're still having trouble getting a new Persia. No one's willing to take the job."
" Why?"
Manx looked around the room then let out a sigh, " Takatori Shuuichi has been Persia for the last thirty years, since he was eighteen. He founded the whole organization; using the funds his father and members of the Diet who wanted to see reform in Japan gave him. No one feels that they can fill his shoes."
" So who's running Kritiker?" Juri asked.
" It's being run by Persia's most trusted associates, which includes me, Birman and Boutan until a new Persia can be found." She handed each member a folder, " Hunters of the night, hunt the tomorrows of these dark beasts." She turned, walked up the spiral staircase, and disappeared.
" Well, let's get started then," Juri said. The other three nodded.
Nagi sighed as Schuldig and Omi argued. Or rather while Omi yelled at Schuldig and the German just smiled at him.
" You need to take this seriously Schuldig."
" I am. You just need to calm down," was the amused reply.
" I am calm!"
Nagi sighed and called over his shoulder, " Would the two of you just shut up? I'm trying to work here."
" Opps, sorry Nagi."
" Yeah, sorry Nagi."
Yeah right, the telekinetic thought as he went back to typing.
" Find anything interesting Nagi?" Crawford's voice came from the doorway.
" Not yet, Kritiker had some really good hackers to keep me out so far . . . Here we go."
Nagi took his hands off the keyboard and used his powers to the rest.
" Whoa, that's really nifty," an impressed Omi said.
" Nah, it may look cool, but we don't use it a lot. Nagi's just a waste of space if you ask me."
" Well if I'm a waste of space then you definitely are. I don't see you using your powers," Nagi shot back.
" Schuldig, stop harassing Nagi, Nagi focus." Crawford ordered before Schuldig could retort.
" Yes sir."
" Whatever."
A few minutes later found the file he was looking for. He brought it up on screen, " Found it Crawford,"
The rest of Schwarz crowded around Nagi. On the screen were the pictures of three young men, and a young woman. Crawford told Nagi to download it their hard drive.
" Hey, Schmeterling, what's wrong?" Schuldig gently prodded Omi in the side.
" Hm, what?" Omi blinked at the screen and faced Schuldig, " Sorry, I just spaced out a bit." He gave his lover a smile.
Farfarello turned away from the computer and left the room to do what ever he does.
" Good work Nagi," Crawford patted Nagi on the back and went to his room. Schuldig whispered something into Omi's ear, causing the teen to blush, and they walked out of the room together.
Nagi sighed and started to hack deeper into Kritiker's files.
Schuldig watched with a grin as Omi sipped his milkshake. " What," Omi asked noticing Schuldig was looking at him, " Do I have something on my face?"
" Nein, I just like looking at you," Schuldig smiled at him.
Omi blushed and went back to eating his meal.
"So what's it like coming back to your hometown after so long?"
Omi shrugged, " I really don't remember, after all I spent most of my life in London training." He took a bite from his cheeseburger, " But it is kinda cool, I guess. Maybe I could some family or something."
" That would be nice."
Schuldig smiled, " Let's hurry up, or mission's at 10:00."
" But it's only four," Omi protested
" You and I are going to be busy," he said with a wink.
" Oh."
Juri stopped at the entrance of the child prostitution ring. It was located in a very dirty alley. Supposedly the ring worked in an underground building or something like that. Clicking her radio Juri whispered, " Found it, be ready to move in ninety seconds," she placed a small explosive on the door, set it, and ran to join up with the others.
" All set?" Yoji asked her when she reached them.
" Fifteen seconds," she said, " Find the air duct that leads to the ringleader's office?"
" You're standing right on it."
Juri looked down; indeed she was standing on it. " Why's it so obvious?"
Yoji shrugged, " Who knows?"
The explosive went off and Weiß made their way through the labyrinth that made up the air duct. Once above the above the ringleader's office Aya kicked the screen that showed the office out and it landed with a crash, all four jumped out to find the office empty.
" Shit," Aya swore softly just as the office door busted open to a dozen or so guards, all pointing guns at them.
" Someone must have tipped them off," Juri whispered,
" Now who would do a thing like that?" a nasal voice came from behind the gunmen, who parted to let the speaker through.
" Mastermind," Aya growled.
Schuldig looked at the four with amusement. " You four are really rusty. I guess a year off would do that to you," he said and turned to walk out of the room.
Seeing that Schuldig's guard was down Aya ran foreword, unsheathing his sword and ready to slice Schuldig in two.
A throwing knife came out of nowhere brazed his shoulder. Aya stopped his pursuit of Schuldig in order to dodge the next three kunai.
" You didn't think it would be that easy did you?" Schuldig asked looking over his shoulder and smiling. Aya glared at him and lunged foreword. Schuldig turned and kicked him in the shoulder the Kunai got him in sending him flying into the wall. While he was busy with Aya, Ken and the others made back up the airshaft.
Once in the three members of Weiß spilt up, still searching for the target.
" Opps, I let them get away. Oh well, I still got you to play with," Schuldig smirked at Aya, who had just gotten back to his feet, a little bruised, and a scrap or two, but still able and willing to fight. Aya leaped foreword again, his sword aimed to spilt the German's head. Schuldig's smirk broadened and he moved behind Aya, who spun around read with a horizontal swipe, then rushed foreword with a jab, both of which Schuldig evaded.
Ken dropped from the air duct with a thud. He looked around the room he was in and he felt his blood go cold. About a twenty fearful pairs of eyes looked at him. There were twenty kids between the ages of eight and thirteen, eight boys and twelve girls. The room the occupied was cold, damp, and windowless, there were no beds, just six broken cots. He kneeled down so he could come into I contact with the nearest kid, a boy of about thirteen with auburn hair, and large green eyes. " What's your name?"
" Sh. . . Shun," he said fearfully.
Ken smiled at him, " Well Shun, we're going to get you all out of here."
Shun's eyes widened, " Really?" The other children began to crowd around, there eyes full of hope now.
Ken nodded, " Yes, all of you, right now." He put a finger to his lips as some of them started to cheer, " But we have to be quiet ok?"
The all nodded.
Yoji and Juri had met up along the way and were now dodging guards.
"What should we do now?" Juri asked as the ducked into closet, " We don't know where we are, or where the ring leader is."
" We just keep lookin'. I'm sure we'll find something."
After waiting a few minutes they got out of the closet and rushed down the hallway, which was thankfully free of guards.
" Damn it," Yoji muttered as the came to a dead end, " We'll have to double back."
" No, wait."
" What?"
" What if he's in there?"
Yoji blinked at her, then shrugged, " Might as well check it out."
He grabbed the handle and opened the door to reveal a man typing away at a computer. " That him?" he asked in a whisper.
" That's him," Juri said pulling out a ten-inch knife. Quietly she tiptoed up to him then stabbed him, knife slicing through flesh, lung, and heart. His eyes went wide then he fell foreword. " Mission accomplished."
Aya was on his hands and knees, coughing up blood when Crawford walked into the room. ' Mastermind,' he said, " Weiß got their target and Siberian called in Kritiker forces to get the kids, are purpose here is done.'
Schuldig pouted, ' Aw, but Bradley, Omi and I are having fun. Aren't we Omi?'
' No.'
Crawford smirked.
' You suck Schmeterling.'
Omi replied sticking his tongue out.
' Weren't you just lecturing me about my maturity?'
' Maybe . . .'
" That's enough, Mastermind, Healer," Crawford said audibility, " Our presence here is no longer necessary, let's go."
"Wait Schwarz," Aya said getting to his feet, " We're not finished-" he was cut of by a sharp strike to the neck, then a push against his chest so he fell backwards. Just before the darkness swallowed him he saw a blonde, blue-eyed boy looking down on him with a satisfied look on his face. The last clear thought that went through his head was: Mamoru.
Omi smiled up at Schuldig, " Ready?"
Schuldig smiled back, " Of course."
Ken and the kids were outside waiting for the rest of Weiß to come out, " Balinese, Tabby, Abyssinian? Come in."
Yoji's voice crackled over the speaker " We here you," he said, " Mastermind got Abyssinian pretty good, but he'll live. We're coming out now."
" All right, I got the kids and we're waiting outside, Siberian out." And as soon as he ended the transmission he was tackled to the ground by a streak of purple and white.
" Weiß!" his attacker yelled happily, and bounced off of him.
" Nice to see you too Berserker," Ken mumbled and got to his feet to face the albino man.
" Are you ready to die Weiß? To die like a martyr for these lost lambs?" Farfarello asked in a haunting, chilled voice, indicating the children who had clumped together.
Ken clinched his fists, unsheathing his bugnuks, glad that he wore both of them today. " I'm willing fight for the kids, but I'm not ready to die."
Farfarello smiled then lunged at Ken, knife ready. One of the kids, Shun he thought, yelled out for him. But Ken was ready, he parried with his right bugnuk and was going to strike with the left when Farfarello produced another knife and stabbed him the shoulder with such force it went through. Ken let out a battle cry and slashed downward, but only casing shallow gashes in Farfarello's flesh. Farfarello didn't seem to have noticed this and forced to the ground, starting to carve into Ken's arms.
Kritiker agents began to swarm around the area of the two combatants. Farf looked at them with little interest or worry. " Another time then," he said after swiping some more at him, and disappeared into the night.
"Ken!" Shun called out and raced to the assassin, " Are you alright?"
Ken was on his back, a hand over his bleeding shoulder, eyes closed in pain. " I had worst," he said through clenched teeth. " Damn it, I liked this jacket and now it's ruined
Kneeling down next to him Shun pulled his head into his lap, " Arigato Nasai," he whispered.
" No problem," Ken tried to smile.
Yoji and Juri both appeared carrying the unconscious Aya. " Hey there Ken," Yoji said as he laid Aya next to Ken. "You didn't get into a fight did you?"
Juri giggled, " You know him, he can't keep himself out of trouble."
" Guess I can't."
" Hey who's the kid?"
Ken opened his eyes to look at Shun. "This is Shun, Shun this id the other people who helped save you."
" Arigato," he said in a quiet voice.
" Not a problem, just doing are job," Yoji said.
Kritiker agents swarmed over them, taking Aya and Ken out on stretchers, a process made difficult on the account Shun refused to be removed from Ken's side until they Ken was ushered into the operating room.
"Don't worry Shun-chan," Juri said to him as they waited outside, " Ken's made of strong stuff. He'll be better before you know it."
Shun nodded and thought, One day Ken-san, I'm going to find a way to repay your kindness.
Finally! It took the better part of three months to write it but it's done. I would like to thank everyone who's reviewed thus far. I apologize for any confusion, hopefully somethings make sense now.
