Ryuuko sayz: Well, our wayward Ken returns. Uh...I don't think many Ken fanz will like me for the next couple chapters...gomen! Believe it or not, I myself am a Ken fan...though many of you may end up doubting the validity of that...*sweatdrop*

The day crawled by, as if stuck in molasses. It was oppressively hot outside strange for a spring day. Dark thunderclouds loomed on the horizon, threatening of bad weather. Aya saw all this as the growing wind picking and played at his clothing and hair sending it flowing around him before letting it collect itself around his body again. He sighs and slowly descends from the roof of the Koneko, having been cleaning the glass to let more sunlight in so as to keep the plants healthy. He passes through darkness before emerging into the light once again. Ken had missed the afternoon rush as well. What is detaining him so much as to make him miss an entire day of work? Aya frowned slightly as he re-entered the apartment. Omi was making dinner, and it was even stranger that Ken would miss almost an entire day without food. Aya heard the door slam and someone enter. He turned and saw a haggard looking Ken enter, limping slightly. Omi heard the entry too and came running. When he saw Ken he looked both relieved and worried.
"Ken? Where have you been the whole day?" he asked worriedly.
"None of your business," Ken snapped.
"Pleasant, aren't we?" Yoji chimed in slightly.
The snarl unspoken but evident in Ken's eyes was enough to silence the blond. Ken slowly limped towards the bathroom, Aya silently noting that his fellow member of Weiss was trailing a small amount of red at each step.
"He'll be okay." Aya said quietly and walked towards the kitchen. Omi frowned and looked worriedly towards the bathroom as Yoji grumbled and voiced his opinion in very clear terms. All three were not expecting the resounding snap that echoed in the house, which sent Omi jumping slightly and surprised a curse out of Yoji. Aya turned slightly towards the bathroom. Omi and Yoji retreated to the kitchen, Omi looking slightly paler then usual. Aya walked to the bathroom and looked in to see Ken sitting on the floor, the tiles stained a little pink around him. Ken looked up at Aya's approach and whether he grimaced or snarled was left up to interpretation. Aya looked him over, deciding that something was wrong but that Ken was hiding whatever it was quite well.
"Leave. Me. ALONE."
With those words, Ken slammed the door in Aya's face. Other then looking a little startled, Aya was otherwise unruffled. He sighed very slightly before walking away towards the kitchen. Whatever Ken was going through, he obviously wanted to deal with it himself.
