Thank you all so much! If you've never written a story you have no idea how thrilling it is to log on and find great reviews. By demand I'm going to attempt to include Schwartz in this chapter and also I'm going try to improve my grammar. Sorry to those who noticed but I really only write at like 11 pm and I'm kind of tired so I don't catch them all.
Disclaimer: The only character here who belongs to me is Kit! Please don't sue because I'll cry. (
Also if you didn't know this is a spoiler by the way in the first OVA which happens right before my storyline, the guys are given a mission to kill this girl and her brother, Omi and Ken want to protect the brother and sister while Aya and Yoji chose to obey the mission. In the end Kritika gives Aya and Yoji a mission to take out Omi and Ken for disobeying them. And that's where it starts.
To those who got confused about the age thing Kit was supposed to be 4 when Kritiker first started then 12 when she ran away, Sorry if I screwed up somewhere she's actually 18 now
Cross from the Past
: Chapter 4- Scariest Day of All
"You're sure I have to do this?" Kit asked.
"Yeah, quite sure." That was Ken.
"Fine." Kit hung her shoulders in defeat; feeling like the weight of the world had just been transferred to her back. Today she would have to face the one thing she feared most of all, school. She had gone to school in America after leaving Japan 6 years ago, but to her it was still a personal hell, not to mention she wasn't sure how Japanese kids would treat a girl who has just come from America. Slugging her new book bag over her shoulder she cast a cold glare at Ken who was smirking at her from across the kitchen.
"It won't be so bad; you'll be in class with Omi and just think it's less time you have to spend in the flower shop." Kit straightened her shoulders and resumed her air of indifference and with a turn of her head sauntered out of the room to wait for Omi near the front door. Kit growled as she walked through the den, so what if she sucked with flowers and the only thing she was good for was 'advertising'. On that train of thought Kit's mood lightened as she remembered how she had kicked Yoji's ass after finding out most of the boys were there to goggle at her first and then buy flowers second. It was quite embarrassing that the playboy could have deceived her so easily.
"Morning!" Omi came running down the stairs, jumping the last few and ran into the kitchen. Kit could hear him rummaging around for his pre-made lunch then yelling bye to Ken and seconds later he was beside her getting his shoes on.
"You are amazing you know that?" she told him. He just looked up at her in confusion then shrugged it off. "Let's go before we're late."
20 Minutes later they were only a block away from the when Kit stopped. Omi continued on until he noticed she wasn't beside him and he turned in surprise.
"Why'd you stop Catherine?" He inquired, his head tilted to the side in confusion. Kit shook her head, the kid was a computer genius but he had no clue when it came to the ways of the world.
"We can't look like we know each other to well Omi, people well get suspicious, let's just pretend we work together and nothing else." She explained carefully, not looking at his face. There was silence then Omi slowly nodded showing he understood and walked off leaving her behind. Kit let out the breath she had been holding, she almost suspected he would not agree with her decision.
Looking up Kit eyed the schools high tower as teenagers rush by her intent on making it to class on time. With one last look down the street that they had come she made a silent prayer to the gods for luck and finished the walk to the building.
15 minutes later Kit was knocking on the door to classroom B-4. As the door opened she got her first look at her teacher, she was skinny with honey-blonde shoulder length hair and wore glasses over her sea- green eyes. She was smiling but it seemed a little too overplayed to Kit, this teacher couldn't be more than 25, as new and green as grass too. As the teacher ushered her into class Kit heard the difference in sound as it went from normal talking level to so quiet you could here a pin drop.
"Class I would like to introduce our new transfer student who has moved all the way here from America." The lady declared. Kit glanced at the class, most were looking at her curiously, she spotted Omi near the back, and he slightly raised a hand in encouragement. Looking at him Kit grinned slightly, feeling a little less pressured. She bowed to the class.
"You're that girl from the flower shop!" One of the boys had jumped up and was pointing at her. Everyone turned to stare at him and then at her then back again. As if feeling their doubt he turned to Omi. "She works with you right?" Omi nodded and the boy smiled in relief.
Kit on the other hand was feeling something much different. As the fact had been verified all the heads of the girls in the room had turned to her, all held a look of outrage, jealousy and downright unhappiness. Kit groaned at their accusing stares and silently took the seat the teacher was pointing to. She was right in the middle of a group of girls who looked ready to tear her apart. She sat up straight in her chair, acting as if the malicious stares directed at her didn't affect her in the least.
Kit was only so happy when the end of the day had come. She raced out of the building not even waiting for Omi. As she ran she tried to erase the events of the day, after her introduction things only went downhill. All day she could her them whispering about her, "....probably a prostitute.....how could they let her work there....all Americans are weird...............snob.....slut..........tramp........my poor Yoji.........Ken..........Omi.......Aya...Aya...Aya." As if these girls had nothing else to do with there time. Kit ran around a corner and almost crashed into a man with short black hair in a suit and glasses, she yelled a sorry as she ran past, still lost in thought. After being yelled at by the girls none of the boys in class wanted anything to do with her either so she was left all alone through lunch. A couple of time Kit had caught Omi looking at her worried but she just shook her head at him and walked away.
Still remembering her horrible day Kit almost ran right past the Flower shop. She backtracked until she was standing in front of the store panting lightly from her run. The shutter was closed and the placed looked deserted, Kit frowned in confusion. Jogging around the back of the building Kit entered with her key through the back door and stopped. The house was dark even though they were supposed to be open and doing business right now. Kit wanders around in the dark looking for the light switch when she spotted a crack of light coming from the door to the room in the basement. Curiously she opened the door and padded down the steps.
"Hey guys! You're supposed to be working in the store now ya know." She yelled ahead of her as she rounded the last bend in the staircase. She entered the room to see Ken and Yoji lounging on the leather couch while Omi was spinning around on his computer chair. Aya was leaning against the wall with his eyes closed, but she ignored them all, her attention was on the red-haired woman standing in the middle of the room.
"Ma....Manx." Kit was so surprised to see the woman she dropped her book bag on the ground, it landed with a dull thump on the ground. The woman turned and before she knew it Kit was enveloped in a warm embrace, she tensed at the initial contact but soon relaxed into the familiar arms.
"It's been awhile my little kitten." Manx whispered pulling away from the astonished girl. She turned back to the guys staring at the tender scene in front of them, excluding Aya of course; he hadn't even twitched since Kit came in. "Now on to the mission." She hit a button and a face appeared on the wall, a face Kit knew all to well.
"Members of Weiss, your next mission is to kill this man, Shinji Castemate." A picture of a lean man with peppery gray appeared on the screen, then the picture changed to a bunch of dead people lying on the bank of the river, they all seemed to have a weird green rash that spread like moss all over there skin. "He has been experimenting on humans to create a product he believes with keep him from aging. Hunters of the night deny these evil beasts their tomorrows." The picture went blank and Manx turned back to the group. Walking to the steps she handed a vanilla envelope to Kit before leaving.
Yoji got up and stretched. "Usually she says something before leaving, what's in the envelope Cat?" Kit glared at him before breaking the seal on the envelope and pulling out the stack of papers from within. Briefly scanning the top page she stopped.
"Yoji........" she started.
"What? "He said coming closer to her, curious at her reaction.
"This says this mission has to be done tonight, or more exactly in about 3 hours."
"............................"
The hall that Kit crept down was dark, dank and it smelled like the chemistry lab in her old school. She tried covering her nose with her gloved hand, overpowering the chemical smell with the tangy scent of leather. She rounded a corner, her black jean jacket kept out the chill as a gust of wind came through a broken window at the end of the hall. I'll give one thing to him, she thought, he should take better care of his facilities. Kits black hiking boots clicked lightly on the linoleum floor as she crept toward her prey. She glanced at her watch, 8:02. By now Ken and Aya should be taking care of the guards around the building while Omi crashed the computer system.
Kit rounded another corner and came upon the door her victim was supposed to be behind. Praying that Omi had already disarmed the alarm she slowly turned the knob and peeked in. Castemate was hunched over his computer; it looked like he was working. Kit slowly drew her Shrindel (1) and tensed for the one strike that would end the mission. She pushed the door all the way open, letting it bang against the wall. She expected him to turn but he didn't, must be really involved with his work, she thought as she brought the double-sword down and neatly sliced the man down the full length of his back and through the chair. He flopped to the ground motionlessly, something wasn't right; all of Kits senses were screaming something was wrong; it looked like he was already dead.
Loud clapping brought Kit's attention away from the fallen man. She spun to see a man with flaming red hair, a yellow bandana and sunglasses leaning casually against the wall, Kit could smell the nicotine from the cigarette that rested in between his lips. As if just waking up after a nap he stretched and pushed off the wall. Kit tensed and moved into a fighting position as he drew close.
"And you are?" she inquired, trying to size him up before he did something unexpected.
"My name, young kitten in Schuldig.(( Authors note. Brain freeze!!!!! Is this spelled right????)) Let me see what's going on in that mind of yours." He extended a hand toward Kit. In turn she slides backwards until her back hit the wall, she was trapped. Stubbornly she raised Shrindel ready for whatever was about to happen next.
Across the building Ken, Yoji and Aya were fighting with Brad and Farfie while on the roof Omi was battling it out with Nagi. Neither side seemed to be winning.
"Heh,heh. God will be sad if I hurt you." Farferello said as he lunged at Ken, knives seeking out his opponents' blood. Ken cursed as he quickly dodged to the left and tripped. A couple feet away Aya's sword was locked with Brad's, the American was smiling cruelly down at the struggling Japanese man.
"Come on kitten, entertain me just a little longer" he said as he jumped back a few feet, letting Aya readjust himself and prepare for another attack.
"Why are you guys here anyway?" Yoji yelled coming to aid Ken fend off the crazy white haired man. Hearing his question Brad laughed.
"Why, we just wanted to properly introduce ourselves to the cute new kitten." He said while blocking Aya's next attack. Aya stopped dead in his tracks at the Americans words and his eyes widened in understanding. Before he realized his mistake Brad had knocked him on the ground. Aya attempted to get up only to stop and grunt as he felt the pinprick of Brad's sword on his neck. He glanced past Brad toward the building where Kit had gone. "Goodbye." Aya looked up as his teammates yelled and saw the cold unmerciful sword decending towards his head, in a second it would all be over.........
Bwaahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love a cliffhanger! Sorry I really have to cut this one off early, I keep on trying to make the chapters shorter but it just doesn't seem to be working... To many thoughts at once, you get it.
Kit uses a double sword called Shrindel. Imagine Aya's sword, except there's 2 of them and they can be connected at the hilt so it looks like one big sword, sharp on both edges with a hilted area in the middle. It's like Ryo's sword if you've seen Ronin Warriors
OK people it's review time again, I had a lot of trouble with this
chapter because I didn't want to take he whole chapter explaining what
happened when she went to school. More school fun later. Hope you read
again, I'm not sure myself what should happen next. :-p
Thank you all so much! If you've never written a story you have no idea how thrilling it is to log on and find great reviews. By demand I'm going to attempt to include Schwartz in this chapter and also I'm going try to improve my grammar. Sorry to those who noticed but I really only write at like 11 pm and I'm kind of tired so I don't catch them all.
