A/N: I have a feeling this will only last a couple more chapters, I'm not too sure yet. At this point, Kami-sama and Crawford-san only know how long this'll last.
Pairings: Schuldig/Youji, Schuldig/Aya, Aya/Youji

Chapter ten
Crawling through air ducts wasn't exactly his favourite pastime, but Youji knew it was the best way to get through to their target's file room without attracting unnecessary attention from the security guards.
He had left his coat back with Omi in his Seven, as it wasn't exactly designed for crawling in confined spaces like he was now. Pausing at a grate he tapped his earpiece. "You sure this is the right way?" He voice subvocally, he didn't want the sound sensors picking up his presence either.
"Hai, hai, I'm sure Balinese." Came the slightly exasperated reply. "Keep going to your left, the next grate will come out over the area you need."
"If you say so, Bombay." Youji muttered then turned and continued crawling. Why did I have to get stuck with this part of the mission anyway? Aya would've gotten through here faster than me, but nooo.. he has to be the one to kill the target. Youji shook his head; it was unfair of him to think like that. Aya had been very good to him until the other night; Youji enjoyed those nights they shared tonight with Schuldig.
Coming up to the next grate he peeked down into the room below and grinned. Bingo. Pulling a tiny screwdriver from a slot in his watch, Youji proceeded to carefully unscrew the grate and moved it aside before slipping silently down into the room. Remaining in a crouched position he glanced around slowly, checking for any guards that might have slipped through Ken and Aya's initial count and takedown. Tapping his earpiece to all frequencies as he stood and headed over to the main computer, Youji smirked. "I'm in, proceeding to collect the relevant information." He didn't notice neither the open door nor the jade green eyes that watched him silently from the shadows.

Aya walked silently through the hall towards their target's office. Stopping outside the door as he heard Kudou's comment, he placed his hand to his ear and spoke softly. "Bombay, are you sure he's in there?" He asked. This has been easy so far, almost too easy.
"Hai, Abyssinian." Came the soft reply. "The target should be in their alone." Omi knew where each of the Weiß members where as their tracking devices showed up on the building schematics that were showing on his laptop.
"I'll report when finished. Abyssinian out." Aya gripped his katana tighter and turned the doorhandle.. unlocked.. too easy. Opening the door, violet eyes narrowed coldly at the scene before him. The target wasn't alone in his office, he was dead in his office.. with three others. "Schwarz." He growled, quickly pressing his earpiece so the others heard, before raising his katana and gripping it tightly in both hands.
Nagi looked up silently from where he was leaning back against the dead man's desk, arms folded over his slim chest. Farfarello sat on the floor by Nagi's feet, licking the blood from one of his daggers; obviously he'd been the one to make the kill. Crawford stood behind the desk, facing away from the door, looking out the large window out over Tokyo. "About time you arrived." Crawford said, not bothering to turn around.

Youji tensed as he heard Aya's warning through the link. Schwarz.. Schuldig. Biting his lip he shook his head and continued typing, faster now. I have to get this finished first. He continued searching the files with the hacking programme Omi had designed for this mission, not noticing the silent figure that walked up behind him until strong arms wound tightly around his waist. What the?!
"Miss me, kitten?" A husky voice purred.
"Schuldig.. How long have you been in here?" Youji blinked, glancing back at the mocking green eyes.
The German grinned. "Long before you, Yotan." He licked a trail slowly up the blonde's cheek. "But I'm afraid I cannot let you collect any more information."
Youji closed his eyes and sighed. "Let me go, Master.. I need to finish this before Ay-Abyssinian finishes his part of the mission."
Schuldig chucked softly and let Youji go, turning the blonde around to face him. "Your target has already been taken care of, Balinese." He purred, idly playing with a lock of Youji's hair, his ever-present smirk widening slowly at Youji's confused look.
Schuldig's smirk disappeared as Youji's eyes widened with a gasp and he noticed the presence of another mind too late to attack. Spinning around he caught the sight of the claw just a split second before it hit him in the chest, jade green eyes widening at the smugly grinning Siberian infront of him.
Gripping the brunette's wrist tightly he jerked away from the claws, falling back into Youji's arms, eyes slipping closed with a whimper as he did the last thing he could think of, calling out for help. // Ran..!! Brad..!! //
* * * *
Both the Weiß and Schwarz leaders tensed as they received the mental cry for help and Nagi blinked, glancing over at the dark-haired man questioningly at the drop of their team's telepathic link, while Farfarello remained silently content with cleaning the blood from his dagger, with his tongue.
Crawford scowled lightly, his earlier vision returning to him now, this time with sever clarity.
Schuldig, hand to his chest just over and above his heart, leaning back into the older blonde Weiß member's arms as he looked up at the Balinese kitten, jade green eyes filled with either shock, fear or amusement, possibly all three. The brunette, Siberian, looking down at them, claws dripping with blood, Schuldig's blood, as Balinese lowered himself and the German to the floor, still holding him tightly, jade eyes slipping slowly shut..
