Omi had managed to incapacitate Nagi when he used one of his new multiple throwing darts. He looked around and wondered where Yohji and Farferello had gone. Shaking his head he went out the window and to the staircase.

"Are you ladies all right?"

Sarah blinked.

Alex looked to him, "you didn't fall in the net."

"No. . .I didn't. . .anyway, we have to get you to safety." He proceeded to lead them down the stairway.

"We have to wait for Kristi," Sarah said.

"She'll be coming," Omi said.

"But we want to wait for her," Alex said.

"Do you think she would want you to get hurt waiting for her?"

Sarah and Alex mumbled, "no," and inwardly wondered why this kid was so damn logical.

Kristi's mind ran rampant as she watched Aya and Crawford sword fight.

"I was alone with her," Crawford said as he fought Aya.

He got no response.

"She was helpless. . ."

Aya faltered slightly and Crawford pushed him against the wall, knocking his sword aside. He had been anticipating Aya's every move throughout the fight and stalked toward him.

Kristi ran over to him and grabbed his arm. "Stop!" Crawford kept walking, even when she tried pulling on his arm. Since her strength didn't work, she tried a different tactic…she stepped in front of him and kissed him.

It turned out that this did distract Crawford, but it backfired. He wrapped an arm around her and tried to deepen the kiss. Kristi let out a muffled yelp, causing Aya to react.

"SHI NE!"

Crawford stepped out of the way with a large grin on his lips and watched Aya grab Kristi and leap out the window with her.

Yohji fought Farferello until he reached the room where Ken was fighting Schuldig.

"Hey Ken."

"Yohji," he acknowledged as he fought.

"Care to take a trip?"

"Sure," he replied.

They both dashed for the window. Schuldig held out an arm to stop Farferello. "Let them go."

"Hurting them hurts God."

"You can hurt God another time," Schuldig said.

"I want to hurt God now," he said.

Schuldig sighed. "Fine, go attack a church or something." He watched Farferello run out the door. He mumbled, "I wasn't serious. . .maybe Nagi will stop him."

Crawford walked in the door.

Schuldig looked to him. "Are you smiling?"

Taking on a serious face, "no."

Schuldig tried to peer into his mind but failed. Crawford's mind barriers were so annoying and the smirk on his face only told Schuldig that Crawford was enjoying not telling him what it was that made him smile. "Then you're pleased the girls escaped?"

"It was a part of the plan," he said. "We demonstrated to the Weiss that we can take something from them whenever we want."

"Sometimes I just don't understand you," Schuldig said walking out the door.

Crawford chuckled, "I don't think you need to understand me as long as you have fun."

"True enough."

Alex and Sarah looked up to see Ken, Yohji, Aya, and Kristi flying. . .all right, so they jumped down toward them. Alex went over to Ken and glomped onto him. He kissed her tenderly and gave her a hug, blushing at Yohji's wink.

Yohji made his way over to Sarah with a grin. "Hey beautiful, what can I say? We've fallen for each other."

Sarah couldn't help but laugh. "That's such a bad pun."

Aya held onto Kristi protectively and watched in amusement as she tested the solidity of the ground.

"Thank you," she said.

"You're welcome," Aya said resting his head on hers.

A chorus of 'awwwws' came from the others.

"That was so cute Aya-kun," Omi said with a sparkle in his eye.

Kristi and Aya immediately separated as if nothing had happened. Kristi blushed and Aya folded his arms.

"I don't do cute," Aya said in denial.

"But you do it so well," Yohji said with a grin.

Alex and Sarah gave Kristi a look and she shrugged. They spent the next couple of days spending time with the members of Weiss. They even went to the flower convention and neither of them mentioned the fact that they were assassins. The members of Schwarz stayed quiet. The girls went with the guys to the airport and wished them a goodbye as their plane took off back to Japan.

Sarah sighed. "Damnit."

Alex looked to her. "There there, you'll see him again." She stared forlornly at the plane.

Kristi also watched the plane, but her mind lingered on a dream she had the night before. All she remembered was a glint of glass and the words, we shall meet again.

Sarah looked to her. "Kristi, are you daydreaming about Aya again?"

"No," she said with an innocent smile.

"That means yes," Alex said.

"Well, now that we've met anime characters let's head home," Sarah said.

"No one is going to believe us," Alex said with a sigh. "I find it hard to believe myself."

"The interesting situations we get ourselves into," Kristi said shaking her head. With a grin, "but, I'm always up for another adventure with you guys."

:Epilogue:

The girls drove home from their hotel after a needed night of sleep. In the car they each told about what happened between them and the members of Schwarz.

Sarah went on about Nagi and Alex chimed in with her theory that he doesn't necessarily want to be bad. "He seems like a sweet kid…well, one of those insanely intelligent sweet kids. He reminded me of one of my brothers."

Kristi looked to her. "What about Farfie?"

Sarah shuddered. "Don't even remind me, all he wanted to do was hurt God." She regarded Kristi. "Did you really throw a pillow at him?"

Kristi shifted. "Yes."

Alex rolled her eyes. "That was the only thing near you that you could throw? Of all the things…"

"It was the only thing handy at the time!" Kristi shook her head. "What about you Alex?"

Alex took a breath. "Time with Schuldig, granted he wasn't bad looking, was well…interesting if not disturbing. He kept peering into my mind and I swear he was somehow getting your brain waves Kristi because he kept flinching."

Sarah looked to Kristi who smirked. "I suppose he's better than Farferello," Sarah said.

"Yeah," Alex said, "though I nearly hurled as he carried me away. I'm surprised you didn't get sick when Nagi floated you over the city."

"That actually wasn't too bad," Sarah said. "I was just worried about falling…but of course, that came later. Why do I always get thrown from high places!"

Kristi shrugged. "A lot of people must fall for you."

Sarah gave her a look from the back seat. "Kristi if you weren't driving I'd hit you upside the back of your head. You sounded like Yohji for a second there."

Alex whapped Kristi on the head for Sarah.

"Hey!"

"What about you Kristi?" Sarah asked, "What happened with you?"

"You've been unusually quiet about your time with Crawford," Alex said slyly.

"Oh please," Kristi said, "I was unconscious most of the time. He gave me something for my headache though."

Sarah blinked. "You took pills from a bad guy that kidnapped you?"

"I didn't want to get a migraine and I was somewhat delusional," Kristi protested.

Alex smacked her upside the head. "Bad Kristi! You don't accept pills from strangers. What else happened?"

"Well, Aya came to the rescue but Bra-…I mean Crawford got the upper hand," Kristi shifted, "so I had to stop him."

Sarah's glasses almost seemed to flash as she asked, "How did you manage that?"

"I kissed him."

Alex and Sarah exclaimed simultaneously. "You what!"

"It was the only thing I could think of! I tried pulling on him to stop but it wasn't working! He was going to hurt Aya and I couldn't stand by and watch," Kristi sighed. "I didn't intend on it backfiring and Crawford trying to make a move. But then again…he is an Oracle of sorts…I think he foresaw that…"

Alex went to whap her upside the head. "Da!"

Kristi ducked. "Hah!"

A smack from Sarah landed on her head and Sarah sat back triumphantly, calmly rebuckling her seatbelt.

Kristi chuckled. "Well, least we know the trip home will be an interesting adventure indeed."

Author's Note: Yay the story is finally complete! I had such fun writing this for my friends (sometimes I dare say these types of stories write themselves).

There's a little sequel of sorts to this story, which I shall post eventually. Let me know if ya'll are interested in reading it. It involves a cruise ship. . .
