This is a Fanfic so obviously these Characters do not belong to me. They belong to whoever owns the rights to the anime Weiss Kreuz. All yaoi implications towards the characters are works of my own and have little to no relation with the actual characters in

the anime. There is a implied slight homo erotic scene be warned.

Tribulation: 6

The sun shone bright, breaking through the few clouds in the sky, as Youji speed down the highway. Aya sitting in the passenger seat closed his eye's, feeling the wind through his hair, as he calmed himself preparing for what was to come. Omi, stretched out in the back seat lay sleeping quietly.

It had stopped snowing when they left several hours ago; the road covered in a thin sheet of white. They had awoken before the sun had. Aya quietly let go of Omi as he slipped out of the room to see Youji drinking coffee and smoking. Neither one spoke to the other, but it was a silence both men understood. Today may be the last day either two would see each other on this earth again. Aya calmly watered the plants, while Youji prepared breakfast. Aya smiled as Omi appeared wearing one of Aya's shirts, far too big for his size, as the boy rubbed his eyes drowsily. The stammer of his cute bare feet rushing into Aya's arms ounce seeing the man smiling at him, water can in one hand and a delicate rose in the other. Youji had come up with several jokes in his mind to say to the couple, but today he would keep them to himself. He lay breakfast out as all three sat down together to eat. It was to be their last supper of eggs, coffee, milk for Omi, and toast. Youji left the table first as he disappeared into his room to prepare. Aya sipped his coffee as he watched Omi finish his food. Aya put both their plates into the sink, and followed Omi back upstairs to change. As Aya took of his shirt Omi sat on the bed and did the same. Aya proceeded to unbuckle his belt and slipped his pants off, and in turn Omi also. Both now stood staring at each other. Aya was taken back at how beautiful Omi was. He stepped towards the boy and took Omi into his arms. As they embraced each other their lips touched and turned into a deep passionate kiss; their tongues tasting each other as they collapsed onto the bed.

Youji, changed and ready, came into the main floor to find it empty. He was about to go upstairs to see if they were ready when he noticed a thumping sound coming from the floorboards above. It had not hit him yet, as he was starting to go upstairs he heard a slight moan and scream from Omi. A grim look came upon Youji's face as he quickly rushed down the stairs and back into his room. He reached under his bed and pulled out a playboy. He kept repeating to himself "Pussy Pussy Pussy" as he stared continuously at the pictures and chugged a near by beer on his dressing table.

"Aya, when we get back we need to sound proof your room".

Youji continued speeding down the highway as Aya looked at him and a slight smile crossed his face. They were near now; one two hours away. Youji finding the exit; turned and now could see in the distance snow covered trees. Aya turned around in his seat and slightly and lovingly shook Omi awake. The universal and intensely more adorable question came from the boy's lips. "Are we there yet"? Aya shook his head as he turned back around. As they neared closer by the minute the atmosphere had turned grim as each now mentally prepared. This time was different and each knew. This was no mere battle as any other mission was. This time it was War.

Crawford stood by a large window looking out into the woods. He took of his glasses to clean them, as Nagi walked up behind him. Crawford placed his glasses back on his face and continued staring at the winter scene. Crawford felt a cold hand clasped his as Nagi brought his face into the man's arm.

"They're like us aren't they?"

Crawford looked into Nagi's eyes and brought his free hands to stroke Nagi's hair.

"Yes, they are. But it still doesn't change anything"

"Why? If they're like us they'll understand. Maybe we could become friends and I don't know, maybe one day we could all..."

"What? Go out together?"

Crawford laughed loudly as he now hugged his love gently.

"You and your strange dreams"

"They're not that strange"

Nagi muttered those words as he hung his head down slightly embarrassed. Crawford brought his hand to lift his chin up and to look him in the eyes.

"No matter what happens today, know that I love you. If anything happens don't come back for me"

"Nothing is going to happen. Will be fine, we'll be together..."

Crawford placed a finger on his lips to hush him.

"Whatever happens, don't come back, understand?"

Crawford moved his finger up and down and in turn Nagi's head moved. Farfarello appeared as Crawford let go of Nagi. Sighing, Crawford looked back out the window.

"They're here".

Aya retrieved his katana from the trunk of the car as Omi prepared his cross bow and Youji checked his wire. It had started to snow again. As the flakes slowly fell the three members of Weiss made their way up the dirt path that lay before them to the observation building at the top. With Aya leading the way and Omi and Youji on either side they threaded carefully incase Schwarz had any hidden surprises waiting for them. Nearing the top, Aya stopped as he noticed on the roof of the building a man wearing glasses standing; looking down on them. Beside the man on the floor, tied by his hands and feet was a bloodied Ken.

"Youji..."

"I know, I know. Ken and I have to finish a conversation anyway"

Aya sped of up the path to confront Crawford as Youji went to save Ken. Omi went on straight ahead to check inside the building. As the three separated for a moment Aya hesitated. It didn't feel right to leave Omi, but as they have done on countless missions each member knew their part. But this time, it felt different. Aya was about to turn back when instinct told him to crouch and roll. Just as he rolled away a gunshot had sounded. The bullet hitting the spot he was just standing.

"I hope you enjoyed your last night"

Aya, not listening to what Crawford was saying drew his katana and headed for cover within the trees as bullet after bullet was fired at him. Aya began circling Crawford, narrowly missing bullets as they embedded themselves into the trees. Finally the moment Aya had been waiting for came as Crawford released the clip to reload. At the sound of the clip falling to the snow covered floor Aya stopped his circling pattern and charged straight at Crawford, katana pointed towards the man's heart. With each swing of his blade, Crawford masterfully side stepped and followed with his own offence of punches and kicks. Each punch that connected, Aya felt as though he was back at that bar being beaten by several men. Crawford had amazing strength and speed and Aya was losing. The two men danced back and forth, both forgetting about missions, love life, and the burdens that each carried. All that was left for them at this moment was to find out which among the two was the better.

Youji finding no way straight through to the roof met with Omi as the two scouted the observatory. The layout seemed to be that of any holiday type cabin. It was quite luxurious for an abandoned observation site, but that was probably due to Schwarz inhabitants and refurnishing. Omi spotted Nagi first as the two boys stared at each other from across the room.

"Go Youji I got him"

Youji did not argue and raced to meet Ken on the roof leaving the two, to face each other.

"We're the same you know".

"What?"

"Me and you. We're the same".

Omi pointed his crossbow at Nagi, but the other boy did not seem scared or phased by the arrow pointing at his head.

"In the end were both just trying to protect the ones we love"

Ounce saying this Nagi raised both his arms in front of him as a bright light emerged from within his hands, eyes and body. Omi fired the arrow, but it was blown away as the psychic energy blasted forward knocking Omi down. Omi, bounced back up and drew three darts from within his jacket and flung them towards the other boy. Just as Nagi had deflected the arrow, he had done the same with the darts. Omi assessing the situation knew he could not win against Nagi in his current situation. Running from the room, Omi would have to find a way of putting the fight in his favor.

Youji found his way to the roof as the cold wind and snow hit his face. He could see Ken's body slightly covered in snow. He began to race towards Ken when Farfarello appeared from nowhere, swinging what seem to be Ken's bear claws. Youji dogged the best he could, but was still victim to the sharpness of the claws to his right arm. Bleeding, Youji desperately made a dive, just barley avoiding having his head sliced open and unleashed his wire, wrapping the thin steel across Farfarello's neck. Not taking any chances Youji tightened the wire as tight as it could go and began the onslaught of punches and kicks towards the suffocating man. Farfarello, like the inhuman man he was, smiled at the pain he was receiving and seemed to be happy at the concept of death being so near. Just as Youji was to deliver the final blows he was sent kidding across the snowy roof as Schuldich finally appeared. The red headed man laughed at his comrade who was breathing in air as the wire was released from his throat. Youji unable to move, his left leg seem to be broken, and with Omi and Aya not there, he would have to face two members of Schwarz by himself. All hope left him as he considered giving up the fight, but at the site of Ken's body, he knew that was not an option. With the sounds of metal hitting rock and air as Aya fought Crawford, and the slight trembles of the building as Omi fought Nagi, Youji prepared to defend himself with whatever life was left within his body.
