Okay, it was brought to my attention that this chapter had a few errors. After reading it myself, I realized that yes, this is so! So I revised it and voila! The new and improved chapter two, for those who were annoyed before. I hope this clears up some things.

Warning: Nothing really. Hints of Omi and Ken hooking up with different people but nothing bad, I don't think.

Disclaimer: I don't own anyone!

Realizations & Truth

The next day, Yohji had morning shift with Aya. He caused quite a number of raised eyebrows as he sauntered down the stairs earlier than his shift.

As he reached the door of their little kitchenette, he almost ran into Aya as he exited. "Hn," was all Aya said in the way of greeting.

Yohji stood at the entrance of the kitchenette and stared at Aya's retreating back.

"YOHJI-KUN!"

Yohji started. He swung around and came face-to-face with one pissed off looking Omi.

"Yes Omittichi?" he asked in a scared voice.

"Either come in or get out! You're taking up the whole doorway and I gotta get to school!" Omi whined.

"Oh I'm sorry Chibi, didn't realize I was doing that." Yohji moved into the kitchenette.

"And don't call me chibi!" Omi said scowling. He turned toward the shop door and hid a sucker behind his hand.

The morning that passed was decidedly the worst in Yohji's history of bad mornings, way surpassing the time Yohji woke up to find the father of the girl he'd been sleeping with glaring at him.

First off, he couldn't stop staring at Aya. He was so intent on Aya-watching; he didn't even flirt with the fan-girls. Also, he was so intent on Aya-watching; he didn't even watch where he was going, knocking things over, rivaling Ken on the clumsy scale.

Aya sent his death glare every time there was a crash, making Yohji more and more nervous.

Finally, it was lunch time. Yohji put up the "out for lunch" sign with a sigh of relief. He turned and started toward the door.

"I'm going out for lunch, Aya," he called as he walked out.

"Hn," was his only reply.

Yohji didn't make it for more than a block before two pairs of hands grabbed him and pulled him into a parking lot.

When the two pairs of hands turned him around and slammed him against the wall, he came face-to-face with Ken and Omi.

'Oh shit', he thought, 'there's no way I'd get away from both of them.'

"Hi, guys," he tried. "What's up?"

'Okay think what have you done this time? Last time you totally trashed the flower shop while you were drunk and left the mess for them to pick up. You couldn't possibly have done anything that bad, could you?'

"Hi, Yohji-kun," Omi said in his usual genki tone. "We wanted to talk to you with no interruptions."

"So spill it," Ken cut in. Omi glared at him but kept silent.

"Spill what?" Yohji asked, trying to sound innocent.

"Why you're acting so strangely," Ken replied.

"I don't know what you mean?" Yohji said uncertainly.

"Now, Yohji-kun," Omi said. "You know that whatever's bothering you, you can tell us right?

After a moment of petrifies silence, in which Yohji simply stared at his fellow teammates,

Omi finally gave in and gave his hypothesis.

"Are you in love with Aya-kun?" he asked sympathetically. Ken snickered in the background

"What? But...How...," Yohji sputtered.

"I knew it!" Omi cried triumphantly. "You've been acting all weird around him this morning. I just knew it!"

"Uh, Omi," Yohji said, a huge sweat drop forming. "Let's not jump to conclusions."

"Oh, it's not a really bad thing." Ken said, taking pity on his teammate. "We all went through the 'Aya' phase."

"Awww," Omi said, sickeningly sweet. "You two would make such a cute couple."

"Why you..." Yohji charged, his hands clawing at Omi's neck. Ken kept a firm hold on

Yohji as Omi ran around them, making annoying faces.

"That's enough you two!" Ken yelled, in his most authoritative voice. Both assassins stopped what they were doing and looked abashed.

"Now," Ken said. "Omi, I think you should apologize to Yohji for taunting him."

"Do I have to?" Omi asked.

"Yes," Ken replied firmly.

"I'm sorry. Yohji-kun," Omi said, his head hanging down.

"I think you should apologize to Omi for chasing him around and trying to kill him," Ken continued.

"But..." Yohji protested.

"Now, Yohji," Ken said firmly.

"Sorry, Omittchi." Yohji said, looking like a three year old.

"Now shake hands and be friends," Ken finished, a smile on his face.

"Now you're pushing it," Yohji said and Omi nodded empathetically.

"Fine," Ken said sullenly.

"I can't believe it took you sooo long to figure it out, Yohji-kun. I'm kinda disappointed in you."

"Well, I never went for the "ice princess" type before, Omi. The personality is more important to me than anything else."

"Still...he's so Hot!" Omi said with special emphasis on the last word. Both Yohji and Ken looked slightly perturbed at this.

"Er Omittchi," Yohji said. "Don't ever say the word "hot" around us ever again please."

"Why?" Omi asked innocently.

"Well, whenever you do, you make us feel pedophilic." Ken replied.

"Oh," Omi replied, looking thoughtful. Then a evil grin spread across his face." More blackmail material," he muttered.

"What was that Omittchi?"

"N...Nothing." Omi replied, trying to sound innocent.

Both Yohji and Ken look at Omi suspiciously but decides to drop it.

"Anyway." Omi said his usual genki smile back into place. "We just want you to know we are rooting for you!"

"Wait," Yohji said, taken off-guard. "I thought you would be jealous."

"No," Ken replied. "We both got over that." It's hard to love an ice cube."

"Besides, we both have someone else now," Omi added.

"Oh?" Yohji asked suddenly interested. "Who?"

"We can't tell you," Ken said evasively.

Yohji glares at them for a moment.

"There's something funny going on and I'm going to find out what it is."

"Worry about your own sex life, Yohji," Omi said glaring right.

"Beside, isn't it a good thing we're not after Aya anymore?" Ken asked.

"Well, I suppose so."

"Then stop asking questions!"

"Anyway, I'll trade you for afternoon shift today so you can go talk to Aya and tell him how you feel about him," Omi said.

"I... But," Yohji stuttered.

"Is the great kudoh Yohji cowed by Aya?" Ken asked with a evil grin. He knew Yohji would not back down now. His ego's just too big. Sure enough...

"I cowed by anyone?" Yohji asked, taking the bait. "I'll have you know I am not cowed by anyone or anything!

"Fine!" Omi cut in. "Then it's settled."

Yohji mentally cursed himself for being so gullible.

"See ya this afternoon," Omi said as they walked away.

"Oh, what have I gotten myself into?" Yohji muttered.

Well, this is the newly revised version of chapter 2. Sorry for the mistakes and all. Please review or you can read the third chapter and review then. Anyway, make sure you leave a review or I'll be terribly disappointed! Thanks
