Wahl Elf

Notes: I changed Michiru and Sakura's age. So they're both eighteen in this fic. Also here are Schreient's names for those who don't know them.

Hell-Aoi Chizaru

Neu-Asuka (I don't know her surname)

Schön-Karen (Same as above)

Tot-Hibina Nanami

"Wake me up inside Wake me up inside Call my name and save me from the dark Bid my blood to run, before I come undone Save me from the nothing I've become," Omi sang softly as he got ready for school.

"Nice," Schuldig said from the doorway.

Omi turned to face his lover, "What, my singing or the fact that I'm half dressed?"

"Both," Schuldig licked his lips and walked over to the boy and aggressively crushed his lips upon his lover's, who met back with equal force. Schuldig's arms began to snake their away Omi's waist and drew him closer-

"Schu, Omi needs to go to school you know."

The two assassins turned to face the owner of the voice, "Nagi, you brat."

Omi sweat dropped as Schuldig started to yell at the other teen. "He's right you know, it makes a bad impression if you're late on your first day.

Schuldig crossed his arms and pouted, "Ok, but I get to ravish you after school."

Nagi gagged, "I don't need to hear this. Omi, hurry up."

"Ok, be right there."

***************

Takatori Ouka sat on the bench in the school's courtyard. It was lunchtime and students were wandering about, talking to their friends, and minding their own business.

" Hey, Ouka!" Tomoe Sakura said jogging up to her, "What's up."

"Ouka smiled at her friend, "Not much, just thinking."

Sakura sat down next to her, "Did you hear? The school got three transfer- students today. Two freshmen, from what I hear they're really cute boys. And just a few minutes ago a girl just transferred into our grade I don't know what class she's in yet. Oh look here's the new boys now. I only see one, he's really cute. We'll get a good look at the other one when they turn . . . "

Both girls went silent as they saw the other boy. Ouka lifted a hand to her mouth and whispered, "Mamoru?"

Omi and Nagi were now walking pass them. Omi gave them a smile while Nagi said nothing.

"Mamoru . . ." Ouka whispered again so softly she didn't think anyone would here her. Omi froze for a spilt second, and then kept on going.

**********

"I don't want to go to school," Shun said stubbornly.

Ken sighed, "This is the tenth time we've gone over this. You have to."

"Why?"

"'Cause otherwise it would look suspicious. Do you remember your cover story?"

"Yup, if anyone asks why I live here is because Aya-niichan's my cousin and my only living relative." The auburn haired boy tugged at his Jr. high school uniform, "Do I look ok? Hey stop that!" Shun smacked Ken's hands away from ruffling his hair.

"You look fine," Ken said with a chuckle, "Now let's get going. He handed Shun a helmet and swung his leg over his motorcycle. Making sure Shun had a good grip around his waist Ken revved up his bike and set off for Shun's school.

On the way he reflected on how Shun had entered their lives. It had only been a few weeks since Birman allowed the boy to stay with Weiß as an assassin in-training. This was brought about by a lot of begging on Ken and Shun's part. He didn't know how but somehow during the last mission Shun had grown on Ken, and over the past weeks they had formed a bond of some sort. Making Ken think of Shun as a younger brother. Well Ken had always wanted a younger brother, and Shun was an orphan, so every one was happy.

Ken gave another chuckle as he remembered the fight Shun and Yoji had gotten into the other day, something involving cheese.

"What's so funny?"

"Oh, nothing."

When they got to the Jr. high building Ken gave Shun a hug. "Behave yourself."

"I will."

******************

Juri and Yoji stared at the empty store.

"I'm bored." Juri said

"Me too."

The door opened and four women walked in. "Manx," Yoji said looking up.

"New mission, you'll be working with Schreient on this." Juri looked over Manx's shoulder to see Hell, Schön, and Neu standing behind her. "Where are Aya and Ken?"

"Ken took Shun to school, Aya's out making deliveries," Juri answered.

"Right, close down the shop for today, once Nanami and Shun get back we'll talk about the mission."

Yoji nodded and moved over to the front of the shop to close the steel curtain.

*************************

Ouka sat in the back of her English class deep in thought. That wasn't Aniki, she thought. There's no way. He's a freshman; Aniki would be a senior like me. Granted he looked a lot younger . . . No I'm sure-

"Hey Ouka,"

Ouka looked over at the girl sitting next to her, "Michiru?"

"Sakura told me about what happened at lunch. That is really freaky."

Ouka nodded. "And the boy he was with looked familiar too."

Michiru smiled, "If you want I can look up some info on them."

Ouka narrowed her eyes, "Can you?"

"Yup, meet me after school and we'll head to my apartment."

"Sounds good, mind if Sakura comes along?"

Michiru smiled. "Nope."

****************

After school Ouka, Michiru, Sakura made their way to Michiru's apartment. As Michiru typed away at her computer Ouka looked out the window, "What's with that empty lot?"

Michiru didn't look up. "Some construction company bought it and hasn't done a thing with it." She typed a few more commands into the computer, "There." On the screen Omi and Nagi's flies popped up. "It says the live together, their guardian is Bradley Crawford and they live . . . That's odd."

Sakura looked over and asked, "What?"

"It says they live in that lot right outside my window." She typed some more. "This is really weird." She leaned back in her chair. "Someone doesn't want people to know where these two live."

"Why?" Ouka walked over and stood next to Sakura.

Shrugging, Michiru exited the program and turned to face the other two. "Whatever the reason is it has to be big, I mean we live in Japan, not much happens here, well compared to the US anyway." She looked at Ouka, "What do you want to do?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, he might be your brother," Michiru began, "Don't you want to find whether he is or not?"

"Of course I do."

"Then we have to follow them tomorrow, see where the go."

"All right."

********************

Shun was waiting outside the school building with some other boys, talking animatedly about whatever, when Ken got there. "Shun! We got to go!"

"Ok!" he said. He turned to the other boys; "I gotta go."

"You get to ride on a motorcycle, that's cool."

Shun smiled and ran towards Ken. "Make any new friends today?" Ken asked as he hopped on the bike.

"Yup."

Ken kicked the engine on and they headed back to the Koneko. " I hope you don't have much homework. We have mission coming up and your training."

Shun nodded, "All I got is math. . ."

"That's not too bad."

". . . Three pages of it."

"Never mind."

*******************

The meeting room was quiet when Ken and Shun got there. The four women of Schreient were on one side of the room while Weiß was on the other. Manx stood in front of the large television, her hands behind her back, watching both teams with a thoughtful expression. "There are a couple reasons why both teams are meeting. One is I want Aoi," she indicated Hell, "to help Hidaka train Shun." She paused and looked at Schreient before going on. "Second; Takatori Masafumi is back, and we want both teams to take care of him."

Schreient remained still. Anger, hurt, and feelings of betrayal seemed to pour out their eyes. Masafumi was a touchy subject for them, who could blame them for being angry? After all he was the man who had taken them in, made them trust him, love him, NEED him, then he betrayed them for a monster that would obey his every command to the letter.

"What do want us to do?" Aya asked breaking the silence.

Manx pulled folders out her bag and handed one to each assassin, "Find him, get rid of his experiments, and kill him. Easier said then done, yes, but we trust the nine of you can take care of it."

"Is this all the info we got?" Chizaru asked.

"Unfortunately yes," Manx sighed, "It seems Masafumi wised up and started covering his tracks more carefully."

She walked to the spiral staircase, "Make sure you get him this time. We can't afford to let him continue making those genetic monsters." And she was gone.

Chizaru nodded and turned to Aya. "We need to find more out. Do you mind if I use your computer?"

Aya shook his head. "By all means."

"Arigato," She moved to the computer and started to work on it. Slowly the room began to empty first Ken ushering Shun to get his homework done. Nanami following after saying she did too. Aya left after that. Karen decided to go clubbing. Yoji and Asuka went to go get reacquainted. Leaving Juri and Chizaru alone.

"If you need any help," Juri said looking over Chizaru's shoulder, "Aya and I will be upstairs." And then she too left.

******************

"Math needs to die."

"Come on it's not that bad."

Shun pointed to the multiplication problem, "I only now how to add and subtract, I was never taught to do this." Then to a division problem, "Or this," next was an algebra problem, "Or this, what's up with the letters? And what the hell is an integer?"

Ken sighed; this was being be harder than he thought. "Alright, let's think through this." He grabbed a piece of paper and started to draw, "Let's go over the basics first." Going over the basics took an hour to go through. Then the started to tackle the homework. They got down at midnight, pretty sure that at least half the problems were right.

Ken then sent Shun of to get a shower and to go to bed. "Maybe," he thought out loud, "We could get a tutor for him, I think we forgot the fact that he spent most of his life without an education. Birman or Boutan might be able to do something about that."

Chizaru walked up from the mission room about that time. She walked over to the fridge and pulled out a beer.

Ken watched her for a moment then smirked. "Yoji's going to be after your blood for taking some of his stash."

Chizaru shrugged, "Tell him to bill me."

Ken broadened his smile, "I will."

The female assassin pulled out a chair from the table and sat across from Ken. "So," she began.

"So what?"

"Tell me about our pupil, I need to know something about him if I'm going to teach him how to . . . use a weapon." She almost said how to kill, but had thought better about, seeing the protective look in Ken's eyes.

"Well, you know he's a kid, wants to have fun, hang out with friends. He's kinda out there, you know?"

Chizaru studied him for a moment then got up, "I've got to be going. It's late and I have work to do."

"For your cover? What is your guys cover anyways?"

Chizaru made a face, "Models."

Ken smiled at her, and waved her off.

*******************

Sakura, Michiru, and Ouka, stood behind a large bush watching Omi and Nagi.

"Are we ready?" Michiru asked.

The other two nodded.

They followed the two boys through downtown Tokyo. However they weren't unnoticed.

"Are they still following us?" Nagi asked in a board manner.

Omi gave a half glace at the girls. "Yes." He turned his attention back forward, "Why do you think they're . . ."

'They're nosy teenagers, that's why.'

'Hi Schuldig,'

'Guten Tag Schmetterling, Nagi.'

'What should we . . .' Omi began but was cut of by Schuldig.

'Let them follow you. Bradley had a vision about them and if they didn't meet us things . . . wouldn't be pleasant.'

Fifteen minuets later the girls found themselves in front of a large office building.

"I wonder what they're doing here," Sakura whispered.

"I donno," Ouka said, "This used to be one of the offices daddy had associates with . . . "

Michiru looked over at the sign in front of the building. "This is an office for Eszet, a trading company that's big in Europe, Africa, and the Americas. Rumor has it they're starting to be really big in Asia now."

"What would two high school boys have to do with an ubber rich company?" Ouka asked.

A shadow passed over them, causing the three of them to freeze. Slowly they turned around to see a tall man with flaming red hair and a smirk playing on his face.

"Why don't you come in and find out?"

*****************

Chizaru blocked Shun's kick and kneed him in the stomach, not hard enough to knock him out but just enough to get the wind knocked out of him.

"You need to watch your enemies more closely. And try some different combos, you're getting predictable," she said helping him up.

"Hai," he said.

"Now," Chizaru said getting into a ready stance, "Come at me again."

Shun nodded and leapt at her with a round kick, which was blocked, then spun around for a hook kick, also blocked.

Ken watched from the side as they trained. Shun wasn't doing all that well. Ken smiled as Chizaru did a leg sweep and knocked the boy to the gym floor.

"Itai!" Shun said rubbing his backside, "I think I have a bruise on my butt now."

"It could be worse," Ken said, "Chizaru is taking it easy on you."

Shun muttered something along the lines of "Yeah right," and got up.

"That's enough training today," Chizaru said collecting her things.

"Ok, Chi-neechan," Shun smiled at her.

"We'll be doing this tomorrow, so practice doing some of the blocks on your own."

"Hai, hai."

Ken and Shun said good bye to Chizaru as they left to hit the showers the fitness center provided.

Outside of the gym none of them noticed a slender, shadowy figure watching them then leave.

**********************

Deep in the woods around Mt. Fuji, in a cave that led to a secret laboratory the shadowy figure made itself visible. "Masafumi-sama," he said.

"Welcome back Geist, what did you find out?"

**************************

Author notes: Well it's done now. I hope you enjoyed it and I'm sorry for the delay. I know this chapter wasn't all that action packed but it will get things going for a four part mini-arc that I'm planning. Now that school's started I will probably have more time to get to the computer and sit down and type. (Yeah I know it's usually the opposite, but I'm everywhere in the summer.) The only things that might hold me back are a Saiyuki fic I'm working on and an original story that my friends and I are co-writing and will post on a website sometime in the future. Oh yeah, the song Omi was singing was from "Bring me to Life" by Evanescence.
