"What are you talking about…" Aya trailed off when he heard Ken and the rest entering the room. Ban cursed and let go of the smaller man and headed up the stairs.

"Ran, you okay?" Ginji and Ken asked at the same time. The redhead stared at the both of them before nodding silently. They could tell something was wrong though, but decided not to persist the matter. "Then… wanna make some supper?"

Ran shook his head and left the rest downstairs. This is bad. If the rest find out, I don't know what I'll do… His attention was caught up with something else. Ban was yelling and banging on the door.

"Open up the door you sickening brat!" Ban yelled, hitting the door and turning the knob. It was only then Aya remembered that Makoto was in the room. He was about to laugh when he saw Ban furiously banging the door.

Ban saw Aya and glared at him. Aya had to look away to prevent Ban from looking at him giggling. He was also covering his mouth. After a while, Aya coughed and went up and knock the door. " Makoto, it's me. You can open now…"

No response.

"Makoto?" Aya knocked the door again. He looked at Ban and the Dakannya gave a signal for him to move aside. In one swift move, he kicked down the door and Aya rushed in.

"This is for making me go through such thing, Midou", a voice said. At the window was the blonde they confronted earlier and he was holding onto Makoto. Aya ran up to him and wanted to deliver a punch when the blonde reversed the action and caught Aya in the stomach even before the assassin could react. The blonde smirked and leapt out of the window and into the darkness of the night.

"Kuso…", Aya cursed. He slammed a fist down against the floor.

"Looks like you have no choice. Either you tell me what's going on, or else Makoto could be in danger."

"I can't…" He mumbled. Ban barely heard that speech and dragged the redhead out of the room. "Let go of me you jerk!" Aya shouted. Ban would not care less about the struggling assassin. All he need to know now is the truth and only the truth.

Downstairs, Omi managed to get Shido to wake up. He felt rather groggy, which was no big of a deal. The rest managed to get Shido fully awake in five minutes. "We have to get Aya to speak. The guy told me he knew something we don't, and that it is an important source of information."

"No need to do so monkey player", Ban said while walking down the stairs. "That jerk took Makoto."

The rest all stare at him in shock as Aya went down the steps. "Look, there's something…" Aya paused and looked at Ban. The other simply nodded and Aya took a deep breath.

"Well, you see, I wouldn't be surprised if they are planning to use me as part of their experiment. There is a particular gene in my body and Aya which runs through the family. It is immune to many sicknesses, but when we get affected, the sickness remains in us for twice the length of time in normal people and weakens us even more. Thus, the fever I got can reach to high degrees for a long time."

"Same with my sister, when she was in a coma, it was only to last about a year or so, but she only awoke two years later. When she did though, the coma caused quite a lot of damage to her brain, that's why…" Aya trailed off. He knew the story is probably unbelievable, but it was the truth. He bit his bottom lip and dashed up the stairs.

The rest were surprised at his sudden retreat when Ban stopped them. "Ask the Weiss to explain the rest." With that, he went up the stairs leaving the rest rather dumbfounded.

"So, what happened to his sister?" Ginji asked with a worried look. All three assassins did not have a happy look. All of them kept silent until Yoji broke it.

"Because of the major mental damage, she injured many people, including her own brother. Unable to tolerate it anymore, Kritiker suggested bringing her to a mentally unstable hospital, but Aya refused. After about three months she awoke, she was found in her room with a knife stabbed into herself. She might've committed suicide, but no one knows for sure. Aya was so depressed losing his last family member he didn't eat for days, probably the reason why he suffered the fever badly."

"So it didn't happen along time ago", Kazuki whispered.

Ah.... sorry for the late update.... Anyway, look out for the next one soon!
