Disclaimers: Weiß Kreuz belongs to Koyasu Takehito and Project Weiß. I just borrowed them to make this little ficcie. So don't sue me, or else Miss Vampire will haunt you in the middle of the night and suck all of your blood!..... anyways. Have a nice day ^_^!


Just one more thing, this has SHOUNEN AI, in other words male/male love involved. If you don't like that stuff, don't read it!. Now that you have been warned.... onto the fic!


A/N: Haa!! Finally, the second chapter of Memories! I'm warning you, this chapter is mostly full of angst. I know that the first chapter has nothing to do with the other chapters and the plot in general, but it will all make sense... in the end that's it. Many many glomps to Makoto-dono Who beta-ing this chapter ^_^!!


Rated: PG-13 for lime (maybe a lemon later? who knows?!)

Chapter two: "Cruel Separation"
(Ran's POV)


"Bombay where are you?" I hiss into the headset, while running through the corridor of the fourth floor. I glance to my left, to see Siberian a few steps behind me, cleaning blood off his cheek with his gloved hand. We all had split up for the mission. Siberian and I are chasing the target. We're also cleaning the way of guards, as Balinese and Bombay set the bombs and search through the information from the target's database.


"I'm in the computer room, Abyssinian. Balinese got rid of the guards, and the information we need is almost done"


"Where's the target?" A little pause, I picture Bombay spotting our current position .


"Turn to the right and at the end of the corridor, it's the first door on the left, past the corner."


That's all I need to know.


We turn right and stop at the corner. I cast a quick glance around to see the mentioned door. The three bodyguards in front assure me of the target's position. I turn to my partner, gesturing at the three guards with my hand. He understands and nods, freeing his claws without a sound. A second later, he rounds the corner, with fast movements, and throws himself at the three men. I am already behind him, searching for a way through the door in order to kill the target. I enter the large room ready to strike one man, but find two other men inside. Without further thought, I aim at the nearest one. My katana slices his belly without any effort and quickly I turn around to face the other man. A diagonal cut ends the life of my prey.


I turn my head to see the original target backed in the corner, face contorted in endless panic.


"Who are you?! What do you want?!" he screams.


"A dead man doesn't deserve to know my name!" I hiss, stopping in front of him and raising my katana, ready to strike. The sudden noise of a gun being shot and a faint curse make my head spin in its direction for a second. I see Siberian crouched and holding his left arm slightly. He quickly raises himself from the floor and lifts his claws, ready to slash a victim I couldn't see through the door.


The faint sound of another gun warns me, and I turn my head just in time to see said weapon aimed at me, held in a shaky hand.


I dodge it easily. And, trying not waste any more time, I slice my blade through the man's middle. The blood stains the walls in wild stripes. I stare at the three growing pools of blood on the floor, before turning around and leaving the room, ignoring the still present smell of blood


Where's Ken?


"Bombay, your status." I call, looking around for the clawed assassin, but there's no sign of him. I round the corner and head to the end of the hallway, leaving behind just bloody corpses, still searching for Siberian.


"I have all the information, and Balinese put all the bombs in place. We're going to our meeting place."


Where's Siberian?


"Where's Siberian?"


A little pause.. "Wasn't he with you?"


"Not anymore. Where is he?" I say more forcefully this time.


"Wait a minute..." I hear Bombay typing on his laptop a few seconds before he answers.


"Second floor, left corridor. He's moving to the first floor now..."


"Connect me to him." I hear more typing... the crackling sound of static and finally slightly ragged breathing.


"Ken?"


********
(Ken's POV)


I left the room and head for the stairs, trying to figure out where the hell I am.


That stupid guard, he shot me and then just ran away! And pretty damn fast, I dare say. Of course, I pursued him. There's no need for possible witnesses, no matter how idiotic they might be.


Strange thing though, that he ran to this room, instead of the nearest way outside. I had been too focused on the chase to notice where we were going at the time, that is until he reached the room and bolted inside. All this searching for someone, I don't fucking care for at the moment. I just want to finish the job. Kill this idiotic guard and go home, where I can get comfortable in my lover's arms for the rest of the night, thank you very much.


Now, if I could find the way to get out....


"Ken?"


Ran?


"Ran?"


"What are you doing on the second floor?" Sooo... I'm on the second floor!. Thank Kami I have my koi to solve my problems.


"Lets just say I had to take care of a speedy problem." I say, walking back to the stairs. There's no need to hurry, since they're all dead, you know.


"Are you okay? Were you shot?" Aw.. always so protective....


"Just a scratch, nothing to worry about." I put my hand over the spot that's bleeding. It wasn't that bad, really. The bullet didn't hit me, but simply graze the skin.


"Are you sure?"


"Yeah, pretty sure." There's a pause. I wonder why he's hesitating so much...


"...I'll see you at the meeting place then"


"Ah, wait... Aya..."


"Hai?"


"I love you..." I say. There's just silence for a few moments and then...


"I love you, too..."


"Ja. Take care." I say and we fall silent again. I feel a light trace of a blush start to rise across my cheeks. I shake my head, trying to erase it. Brush it off, Hidaka, you're on a mission!!!


The sudden sound of static that broke the pleasant silence leaves me slightly deaf. I take off the device and curse lightly.


"You're such a fool..." taunts a mocking voice behind me, I turn my head around just before...


BANG!


********
(Ran's POV)


By the time I end my little chat with Ken, I'm reaching our meeting place before the others. I lean against the wall and let my body relax for a while. I close my eyes, thinking about this mission.


Can't be this easy...


Maybe it's just me, but I have the feeling that this mission is not all that it seems to be. My assassin instincts keep screaming that something's wrong. But, what can I do now?


Ken...


I look to my left, just in time to see Bombay and Balinese approach me.


"Everything's in place, Abyssinian." He tells me.


Yohji looks past me a few times, before he asks " Where's K--"


BANG!


Ken!


I can't think. I just run inside the building. My heart keeps beating so hard. I think it might burst out of my chest at any moment. But I don't care. All I can think of at this moment is Ken . Ken!


Where are you?!!


Everything happens at once. I barely hear Omi and Yohji scream behind me. I rather feel than heard the explosion below my feet. I try to keep on running, but a pile of debris falls on me. I try to get it off, but I feel so weak... All I can think about at the moment is Ken.


But then everything goes black...


********

Everything hurts...


I know I'm waking up. The sensation of sunbeams reaching my face and the sound of rustling far in the distance make me aware of my surroundings. But I don't want to wake up yet.


I keep my eyes closed, hoping to fall unconscious again.


But the pain's too much .


Resigned to face cold reality instead of quiet oblivion, I open my eyes. The light from the window hits me square in the eyes, so I turn to the other side. Ignoring the blinding pain, I try to find out my current location.


Where am I?


The antiseptic smell that I know so well hit me right then. I look around me, only to find several machines connected to me, blipping and beating in their own rhythm.


Why am I in a hospital?


All the memories of last night come back then. The mission, the target, the explosion.....


Ken!


"Aya-kun!" I turn, already knowing the owner of the voice, but still hoping it was Ken's.


"I'm so glad you're awake!" Omi tells me. I try to see more clearly this time. It seems like he has been crying....


"Where--" I try to speak, but my voice just leaves me.


"Don't try to talk, Aya-kun. You have been sleeping for three days." He informs me, avoiding my eyes.


"I'll go get Yohji-kun." But where's Ken?


My heart starts to beat fast again. This can't be happening...


"Glad to see you, fearless leader" says Yohji, trying to sound happy. But even through the haze of pain, I can see that he has been crying too.


"Where's Ken?" I ask, ignoring the burning pain in my throat.


"Aya-kun, you need more rest..."


"Where's Ken?!?" I almost scream it, throwing away the oxygen mask from my face.


"Aya-kun!" Omi reaches for me, but Yohji stops the teen.


"Listen to me, Aya..." He says and I see Omi hide his face in the blonde's shirt.


"When we heard the gunshot, you went running off, into the building. The bombs that Omi put up detonated right then. We tried to warn you, but the upper floor crashed down on you. We managed to save you, but..."


This can't be happening....


"Ken was still in the building..."


Don't tell me that..


"Aya, he's gone.."


No!


"Ran-kun.... Ken-kun is dead... " Omi says, through the tears.


NO!!


I try to scream, try to tell them it was a lie.


But I am too numb.


Images of the previous morning come flashing to my mind.....


Ken's sweet laughter….


The teasing grin…


The look of love in those deep, chocolate pools of Ken's eyes…


But everything is gone... forever.


Everything turns black again, as a final image of Ken's loving smile passes before my tearful eyes.


At the same time, I feel my heart stop ...


"Biiiiippp"


"Aya?..... AYA?!? ..... SHIT, OMI CALL THE DOCTORS NOW!!!!"
