Yeah, yeah insert usual disclaimer here. I'm getting tired of trying to think of spiffy ways to write that I don't own Weiß.

Chapter 6

Aya moved down the white painted corridors in the Magic Bus Hospital. His feet fell on the ground causing its loud thumps to echo with an almost thunderous boom throughout the otherwise quiet hallway. After each step he would take, Aya would give a slight wince on how much of a dead give away he was to be following someone. Briefly, he hoped that the person he was following was too far away to hear the noise he was making and he was somewhat ashamed of himself because of that noise he was creating. He was an assassin after all and trained for stealth, besides it wouldn't help the red head at all if the man knew he was being followed.

Aya knew it was a man who had been listening in on the conversation, no... argument the other two members of his team were having. The shape of the person suggested that it could be nothing but a man and Aya wanted to question him on how much he had heard. If he had heard everything, Aya would terminate him without a second thought, that being the rules of Wei

As Aya continued to walk through the corridors of the hospital, he somehow lost track of time. He kept his eyes forward though in hopes of catching the man. He needed to get this over with as quickly as possible so he could find out how his younger teammate was doing. Soon enough, an orangish-red color flash quickly across the floor and moved off to the left side. He followed who ever it was, and hoped it was the man he was looking for.

He turned the corner that lead to the direction the person he was following went in to. As he did this, he felt himself slam into something and he looked up.

Schuldich stood there looking down at Aya. His ever present, malicious smirk was on his face. The look also held a tinge of satisfaction to it, like one, a cat would wear after finally catching the mouse that had been eluding it for several days now. "Well now, look at what came running to my way," he said still smirking. "It's a little lost Abyssinian kitten."

Aya's eyes widened for a second before narrowing to mere slits. "Schwarz..." he growled out. " What are you doing here?" He backed away from the telepath and silently cursed himself for leaving his katana in the car. There was no way he could face the German without some sort of weapon.

Schuldich read the thoughts that were racing through the cold assassin's mind. Theatrically he clutched at his heart as if he had been hurt. "You wound me, oh cruel one with such thoughts of death running through your mind." He kept his gaze on the fiery haired assassin. "What am I doing here, you ask? I'm trying to figure out what HE sees in you."

~~00~~

"He's not in there," Yohji said as he walked out of one of the many hospital room.

He glanced at Omi. Ever since they had realized Aya was missing the boy had quieted down with his accusations against Yohji and what he had done and the concern for their leader shone in his eyes. Yohji could understand what the boy was feeling. He too was worried about Aya. It wasn't ever day that the man would just up and walk away when one of his fellow teammates had been hurt. Sure the man would act cold hearted, but Yohji had a feeling that it was just an act that he performed in front of people. This was one of the many reasons Yohji was attracted to their silent leader.

Omi bit his lip in worry. They had been searching for Aya for hours and still there was no trace of their leader.

"We'll never find him if we keep this up, chibi." Yohji spoke up after there had been a few minutes of silence between the two.

"Hai... I think we'll need to split up. We both have our com units still right?" Omi asked.

Yohji nodded and pulled his out to show the blonde boy that he still had his. "I think Aya left his in the car though..."

Omi shook his head, "I think so too, but that isn't what I was going to say."

"Oh?"

"I was going to say we should split up. If we do that we could find him faster that way and if one of us found him we'd contact one another via the units."

Yohji nodded, "Ok, sounds like a plan to me, chibi. I'll go left. You take the right. Whoever finds him first will just give the other one a shout."

Omi nodded his head in agreement and walked off in the direction Yohji had told him to go.

Yohji watched the young boy walk off in search for the stoic leader. He hoped he would be the one to find Aya, since he had to talk to him. He had decided finally to come clean with the red head and tell him why he was watching him and how he felt about him. He knew that the man might turn away from him but he figured that at least he would get that part over with finally. One never knew what fate had in store for them.

He walked in the direction he had decided on taking.

He moved through the corridor and came to a turn at the end of it. As he was about to turn that way the sound of voices stopped him in his movement.

"I'm trying to figure out what HE sees in you," the voice spoke out.

Yohji stayed where he was. He didn't want to interrupt the two people talking and besides it sounded like one of the people from Schwarz. That sounds like Mastermind... he thought to himself. What's he doing here and whom is he talking with? He listened in on the conversation.

"I don't know what you're talking about Schwarz," Yohji's eyes widened as he recognized the voice to be Aya's own. He peeked around the corner.

Aya stood only a couple feet from Schuldich. A scowl showed on his pale face as he glared up at the annoying member of their enemy's team.

Yohji couldn't see how the telepath was looking, because he was facing Aya. He could guess though what kind of look was across the German's face and he wondered what it was all about. Why would the German be talking to Aya. A sudden insight flashed through his mind and horror filled him as he finally connected on who the he was that Schuldich was talking about. Oh, my god... he's talking to Aya about me. He thought as he continued to watch the scene playing out before him.

~~00~~

Schuldich looked at Aya and raised his eyebrow at the man. "You honestly don't know what I'm talking about do you?" He asked.

Aya shook his head unsure of how to answer the telepath standing in front of him.

"I'm talking about Balinese," he said. "Out of everyone he could pick and choose, what makes you so special. What makes you the one he lusts after and desires so strongly for. I mean there's nothing special about you. You're just a cold-hearted bastard that cares for no one. You only care about your sister and then again even your feelings for her never came close to even helping her out when she needed you the most. So why you?"

Aya stood there shocked. Yeah he knew that Yohji was following him around and watching him, but he didn't know that the brunette playboy harbored those types of feelings for him. He said nothing to Schuldich and just let him continue his talking.

"He could have me after all. I'm better looking than you are and I would be a lot more fun... but he brushed me off. I say this again. What makes YOU different?"

Aya couldn't talk. He didn't have the answers that Schuldich was looking for and he didn't believe he could ever figure out why either. Finally, he found his voice, "I don't know... I didn't know..."

~~00~~

Yohji heard all this and suddenly grew very angry with Schuldich. It was none of his business as to who Yohji was in love with. He had no right to go around telling the one he loved what he felt about him. He would have told Aya how he felt. He just needed a little bit of time before he did it. He didn't want anyone just coming right out of nowhere and saying all this stuff to the man. Of course, then again, if he had told Aya right off to begin with none of this would have happened in the first place. He wouldn't be here standing there right now listening in horror as Schuldich told Aya everything.

Unable to hold back his anger any longer, he moved forward at an almost blinding speed. His fist balled up and swung a punch at Schuldich, hoping to catch him off guard. The punch never connected though, for as soon as he went to connect it to the back of Schuldich, the man turned around and quickly stepped out of the way.

A bark of laughter exploded from the fiery haired telepath as he did so and spoke aloud. "Well this has been semi informative Weiß, but I have to go now. Oh, by the way, I hope you liked my little handy work with Siberian. I believe I did a good job on hurting him." He shot Yohji a quick look before turning away and thought to him. He'll never love you. Not ever, so just give up while you still have a chance. "It's been fun!" He sauntered away from the two assassins.

Yohji grit his teeth on both parting remarks and glared at the receded back of the telepath. As soon as the man was out of his sight, he looked over at Aya. A confused look lingered on the crimson haired man's face along with a look of anger. Whom was his anger directed towards? He didn't know. He hoped it wasn't directed towards him but to the now long gone member of Schwarz.

Aya stood there for a few seconds staring at Yohji, before finally speaking up. "Is Ken awake now?"

Yohji nodded his head and gave his leader the room number that the soccer-loving assassin was staying in currently. Aya just took all the information calmly then walked off, leaving Yohji standing there alone in the corridor.

Yohji stood there a few more seconds and flipped on his communicator. He notified Omi that he had found Aya and that the man was on his way to Ken's room before he slumped down to the floor. Despair filled him as the full impact of what had just happened just hit him. Schuldich had told Aya things he shouldn't have and now Aya probably was going to be even more distant to the brunette than he usually was. Yohji couldn't stand that. He held his head in his hands and sighed. "What am I going to do now..."
