CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX

Omi looked worridly at the large door infront of him. He really wanted to see Nagi, but was worried who Nagi was staying with. He had said that it was Akira's brother. But, how would he know that Nagi was Akira?

The sandy blonde hesitantly brought his hand up to the old door-knocker.

"Are we planning to go in, or what?" a taunting voice from behind him asked.

Omi turned around, startled at the appearance of someone new.

"You're Omi, right?" the person asked. He had silver hair that tied behind his back and ended above his butt. He was wearing a crimson shirt and black skirt that accented his pale skin, he was also carrying a couple bags full of groceries. "Mitsuo and Nagi have told me a LOT about you. You're cuter in person."

Omi blushed and asked if the man needed any help.

"Nah, sweetie. I'm sure you're just dying to Naggles." the silver haired man said with a smile. "Oh, how rude of me! I know your name and haven't introduced myself yet!" the man set the stuff down on the counter and grabbed Omi's hand and placed a light kiss on his palm and purred, "I am Elijah Crow. But, call me Eli."

Omi smiled slightly, "Where's Nagi, Elijah-kun?" the boy asked taking his hand and taking a step back from the older man.

"Oh, up the stairs, and the last door on the right. Hurry up, he's been wanting to see you." Elijah said calling after the quickly disappearing boy. "Kids these days, in my day. Kids respected their elders, never running away until givin permission to leave their superiors' presence!"

The front door opened and a taller figure emerged from the shadows. "In your day, Eli, women only wore dresses, and it was improper for a man to wear a skirt!"

"Oh, fiddle-faddle, Mittie." Elijah said, turning around and twirling his skirt. "Just because I wear skirts and dresses more than pants doesn't mean I'm improper!"

"No." Mitsuo said placing a kiss on top of the silver man's head. "It just makes you cuter than you already are."

Elijah blushed and giggled. "Still, you are looking mighty scrupcious!"

Omi opened the door to 'Nagi's room' and saw that the chocolate haired boy had his back to him, and was typing on the computer rapidly.

"Where are you Omi?" the boy asked to no one. "Your mission was over hours ago."

"It took me a little while in getting here, but I made it.. Nevertheless." Omi said sneaking up behind Nagi and hugging him around his shoulders.

"Omi!"

"That's my name." Omi said smiling.

Nagi hugged Omi around the waist when he stood up, "I've missed you so much, koi!" he kissed Omi's face. "Have you met Mitsuo yet?"

"No, but I met Elijah-kun. He was nice." Omi said with a chuckle. "And he looks good in skirts. Better than me, anyways."

"Oh? I thought you looked really good in a skirt, Omittichi." Nagi said with a deep laugh.

"Ah! I do not, Nagi-koi! My hips are way to big to be a girls!" Omi said turning red and motioning with his hands at how big a woman's hips are compared to his. "Mine are huge!"

"No, they aren't." Nagi paused to kiss Omi on the lips. "They're perfect...." he paused again, as if in thought, "Though, I do want to see you in one of Eli's dresses..."

Omi blushed at walked out of the room. "I'm going to help Eli unpack the groceries..."

After a short while Nagi heard a scream and rushed to it's source. He looked around the room, Eli and Mit were fucking like rabbits in the kitchen and Omi was horrified in the corner.

"BAD ELI! BAD MIT! NOT IN THE KITCHEN! ROOM, NOW!!!" he growled, scolding them like dogs. "Look, you've gone and horrified my boyfriend!"

Yohji pondered on something when they had gotten home. "Y'know what?"

"What?" Aya growled, "Does your PITIFUL brain hurt?" Aya was holding an ice- pack to his head, as were Schuldig and Crawford.

"No. We forgot something...." Yohji said sadly.

"What?" the red-head fumed agrilly.

"I forgot my NEW DESIGNER sunglasses on the table in that STUPID house!" the blonde yelled, adding pain to the three's headaches.

"nnnn... So what? Buy new ones."

Crawford shot up from where he was lying, knocking Schuldig onto the ground. "That's not all we forgot....."

"What's that, Craw-daddy?" Schuldig said a little annoyed that his pillow had moved.

"Bombay."

"What about Omi." Aya asked impatiently.

"We FORGOT him. We forgot Bombay!" Crawford yelled. "Are you Weiß members THAT slow?!"

Aya looked around the room before yelling. (and worsening everyone's headaches) "OOOOMIIIIII!!!!!!!!!"

Crawford groaned, and Schuldig laid back on top of him, burrying his head in Crawford's chest. "Make it stooooop!"

Yohji raised an eyebrow at the trio and shook his head. "I'll never understand you three..." he sighed an walked out of the room. "I'll go tell everyone else, that we lost Omittichi....Poor kid."

Silence filled the large room after Yohji left, then breaking said siilence came Schu's nasal voice:

"Danken Sie Gott![1]" Schuldig said aloud, "Meine Kopfschmerzen erhielten schlechter.....[2]" he paused, "I said that in German, didn't I?'

Aya arched one of his eyebrows at the foreign language. "Say what?'

"Nevermind." Schuldig growled. "It doesn't matter anyway, the problem's gone now." the German said the last sentance with a smirk and cuddled up to Crawford.

The crimson haired assassin stood up, stretched, then walked outside the Koneko to go to the park. "I haven't been to the park in a few days..." the mumbled to himself, "Might as well go now...."

As Aya walked, he began to think on his past with the others. Yohji was resting his head on the counter in the Koneko. His eyes were open, but Aya could tell he was asleep. So, he walked over to the blonde and glared at him.

Yohji didn't even blink.

The red-head leaned down so he was eye level with the blonde. "Yo-tan." he called softly. "Wake up."

Yohji did nothing.

Aya grinned evilly. He waltzed around the corner and slammed his hands on Yohji's shoulders, causing the blonde to jolt awake and spring backwards. Aya had moved out of the way in time.

"Yaaah!!" Yohji yelped. clinging to the stool he was stitting on. He looked around, and saw Aya with a grin in place. "Why'd ya do that, Ayan?"

"Because you were sleeping on the job." the red head said happily.

"Oh... You're pure evil." the playboy said, releasing a long string of curses after Aya had returned to his station.

"I know, Yo-tan. Now, get back to work." the red-head said turning around to care for his roses.

Aya continued to walk and think.

"You are the same as me, Abbysian! Why would you want to kill me?" Crawford yelled over the rain, he had kicked Aya off of him.

"I won't hurt you if I don't have too." Aya yelled back. "Stay out of our way!"

"Why?! When we are after the same goal?" Crawford said to the angry red- head. "Whys houldn't you be the ones to stay away?!"

"Because we were here first, Oracle!" hissed Aya.

Yohji came out of the building, with Omi on his back. Ken came shortly after. Off of the building lept Farfello, gracefully landing on the ground, he held out his arms and gestured to Schuldig who was on the roof with Nagi.

Schuldig jumped after Nagi was on the ground. But, he didn't do it very quietly. In fact, he had screamed the whole way down.

"Until we meet again, Schwartz." Aya called out, running in the direction of Yohji's seven.

Aya finally stopped day dreaming when he managed to find the park he was going to; there was a graveyard in it. But, he hadn't shown that to Omi or Nagi when they came, so he broke into a jog towards it. It was called 'Mourning Star', it was hidden behind some trees that blocked it from view.

Not many knew of it. It was a private cemetary for the Fujimiya family. Aya looked around, in search of the two giant angels that were his parents' graves.

Of course, their bodies were never found but, inside the coffins were everything that had been special to his parents.

The angels were made of marble. His father's was a male angel, it had long hair that tied into the back, his robes were long, and his wings were chained shut. They went behind the small collum he was standing on. It was slightly cracked and barely worn with age.

His mother's was obviously female. She had a smile that resembled his mother's. She was wearing an off-the-shoulder kimono. Her hair was long, it wasn't tied back like the other's, the same as the male's, her wings were chained shut too. She, in the same way, was slightly cracked.

The two statues had one arm reached out to the other's. They were holding hands.

"Momma... Papa... I'm so sorry that I haven't visited you.... in years..." Aya called out, running to the statues. He didn't get very far, he tripped in the mud. His arms were covered with it, as were his legs. "Mud?"

Sometime during his walk, it had begun to rain again, as if sensing his sadness. Aya crawled the rest of the way to the two statues. "I miss you so much.... why did you have to leave me like this?! I didn't want immoratlity!" he began to sob.

He raised his arms to the two. "Why? Why?! You left me here! All alone, you promised me that you'd stay with me forever!! FOREVER!!"

He ran his had along their stone feet. "I wish that you could hear me..... You'd be dissapointed in me... I'm a murderer..." he paused, looking back up at their faces. "I'm sorry I don't have any incense...."

Aya smiled sadly, "If I had become the muscian like I had planned, I bet you two would've been happier in heaven..."

"Or if I had stayed a dancer, maybe..." his tears began to over flow his pale face, as water dripped down the angels'.

The red-head had started to tell what had happened to him in the past years. The joining up with Weiß, the missions, Omi falling in love with Nagi, everything.

After a few hours of Aya telling them about his life, he looked down at this watch. "I'm sorry, Momma, Papa. I have to go now, my friends might be worried about me. It's been a while since I left the Koneko."

He walked closer to the two, and kissed their hands. "I'll bring insence the next time I visit. I promise...."

On his way out of the cemetary, he closed the gates and the lock on it. "B- bye, Mother and Father. See you s-soon."

Aya walked slowly back to the Koneko, the rain had only gotten worse in the time he had been out. He was soaked to the bone, his teeth were chattering, and his whole body was shaking. "I can't get s-sick, not n-now..." he mumbled with a few curses.

When he made it back, the other house guests had become aware of his disappearance. "What's w-wrong?" he asked when he came through the door.

"Aya!" Gabriel shouted, latching onto the red-head's arm. "My god! You're as wet as a dog!"

"I'll g-go change, then..." Aya mumbled to everyone who heard. "Be down l- later..."

Abriel looked at the man stumbling up the stairs, "Rhelex, Hacker..." he called to his younger twin cousins. "I want you to go with him. Don't let him leave his room, unless it's for a bath, if he wants food, one of you go get it."

Hacker nodded as Rhelex said, "Hai[3], we will, don't worry!" The two boys ran to catch up with the older one, they wrapped their arms around Aya's waist and hoisted him up the stairs faster than he himself was going. "Let's go, Aya-kun. I want you in bed. Your cold'll get worse!"

"I visited them, Rhelex. They were frowning at me. They are mad at me..." Aya said sadly, looking at Hacker. Tears were pouring down his face again. "They haunt me... Hacker, make them go away.... They hurt so much.."

"Who hurts you, Aya-kun?" Hacker asked the younger red-head. "Who haunts you?"

"Momma and Papa... they're mad at me... I let Aya-chan get stolen! They.... they......." he slowly drifted off into a deep slumber.

The twins stayed by his side, as their cousin had asked. In the few hours they were watching him, he began to cry even harder, his face was sweating badly. "I think he may have a fever, Lex..." Hacker said, looking at the moaning red-head in the bed.

"I can't stand to see him like this Hacker, I can't. It's awful." Rhelex said looking at the door, hoping that someone else would come in.

"Go... go get Ab and Gab... They'll know what to do... " he said looking at Rhelex sadly, "This is out of our hands for the moment...."
