A/N: Anime characters here might be somewhat/a lot different from the actual, personalities. Oh yeah, you know the undercover names for Kuina and Kana? They're being thrown away by the assassins because they hate the names. Dunno why and I suggest you do not ask them or they will murder you. And sorry I talk so much. I just have a lot to say. Anyways, tell me in your reviews anything ok? Flames are welcome. Kana and Kuina are real live people just to tell you guys. Beware because they might end up killing you… just joking. But they are real live people.

Chapter 15 A Stranger

"Aya…"

"Stay away!"

"Hold on Aya, we're not going to hurt you…"

"I said back off!"

Aya stood protectively over Daisuke's body. She was prepared to defend herself and do some karate moves on them. She knew a couple of defense moves and one attack so she could take Daisuke's body and take it to safety. She didn't trust them one bit.

Kana and Kuina looked at each other anxiously. They looked as if they didn't know what to do. Aya picked Daisuke onto her back, backed away and ran out the dining room. She ran out into the hallway, not caring where she was going. She thought she saw a shadow but she ignored it. Her first top priority was finding an exit. She tried a door, was it the way out? She was prepared to walk through it when a pair of hands grabbed her by the shoulders. She was surprised for a moment, then rebellious. She wrestled ferociously, trying to break the person's hold. The person's iron grip did not release her.

"Stop moving dammit," a voice growled in her ear. Aya stiffened.

"Oh it's you, how did you find me?" Aya said, shifting Daisuke's limp frame on her back.

Krad stepped into the light. The light reflected of his pale skin, casting an eerie glow. Aya had an urge to run but she suppressed it. Why does he always make me feel so scared?

"What do you want Krad?"

"I don't want anything, I'm just wondering why you look so scared," he said coolly.

"Wow Krad, I never knew you cared."

"I don't care. I'm just wondering what is going on with you."

"Beware of the two girls that live here."

"Who?"

"Kana and Kuina."

"And who are they supposed to be?"

"Ayumi and Tsuki."

"I'll keep that in mind but tell me first, why are you running from them?"

"Find that out yourself," Aya said, "I have to get out of here first."

Aya opened a few more doors and walked through one, assuming that it was the exit.

Krad had no way of knowing who Ayumi and Tsuki were. He had been…err…he was in "deep thought" (Ahem, asleep). Satoshi was currently asleep, which was no help and this was the biggest house he had ever seen. He also had no clue where to go. He was frequently turning a corner and ending up at dead ends. (Let's face it people's, Krad can also have trouble walking in big houses right?) He finally ended up in a room where it was all trashed. It looked like a typhoon came through here. He stepped over the rubble, inspecting the damage. No, more like an earthquake and a typhoon. His gaze fell on two girls in the center of the room, sitting on the table, or what was left of the table.

"Kana, what are we going to do? If Aya tells everyone about us…," the girl's voice trailed off.

"She's not going to," the other girl said.

"How do you know?"

"I just know."

"You're right I guess. Besides, at the rate we're going, people were bound to find out anyways."

"Kuina, there's somebody here," the girl named Kana said. Her eyes narrowed dangerously at Krad. It was the first time anyone had taken her off guard.

"Who are you?" Kana demanded angrily, her hand reaching for something inside her cloak.

"Calm down Kana, no more rashness. We should start talking first," Kuina sighed. She smiled wearily at Krad and said, "Hello, what is your name and what business do you have here? This is not a very good time as you can see. We…have a little problem with the house sometimes." She laughed nervously. Kana tapped Kuina's shoulder and whispered in her ear about something. Kuina nodded and said something else.

Kana tapped Kuina's shoulder urgently, feeling a sense of danger. This new stranger emitted a strange aura. He also looked strange too. He also had a strange ki. It puzzled her.

"Kuina, don't trust him yet. Can't you feel his ki? It feels…a bit strange," she whispered.

"I know," Kuina whispered back.

"Then why are you so nice to him?"

"He might have a different reason for coming here."

"His ki, there's nothing but…I can't place it but it just feels…cold and…I don't know. It just doesn't seem right."

"He looks kinda cute though isn't he?"

"Kuina! How can you think that in a time like this!" Kana yelled, earning a raised eyebrow from the blonde stranger.

"I was joking. And you don't need to yell, girl," Kuina giggled.

Ashamed, Kana mumbled something under her breath which sounded like, Kuina's one hell of a crazy girl. Kuina smacked her head smartly.

"I heard that!"

"Ow! What did I do!"

"You know what I am talking about Shikaku Kana," Kuina said, crossing her arms.

"No seriously, his ki doesn't feel right," Kana said, dropping her voice.

Kuina nodded in agreement. This new stranger looked…well…strange (for the upteenth time) He had the longest hair she had ever seen on a man. Sure a woman but a man…? He also had a strangely feminine appearance and he had extremely pale skin. It could almost be paler than Satoshi's and Satoshi's skin color looked like the color of paper. A ghost.

Kuina ignored the danger signs in her head and held her hand out to the blonde. The blonde looked at her hand and took it firmly in his hand. He had a strong grip. Kuina forced herself to smile.

"Hi my name's…"

"Kuina, yes I know," the stranger said.

In one fluid motion, the stranger pulled Kuina's arm, dragging her closer to him. Her body melded into his making her blush furiously. She was unprepared for this sudden contact. He leaned down and whispered in her ear, sending shivers down her spine. Kana was astounded at this stranger's quickness. This stranger was dangerous all right. She thumbed the hilt of her sword. Luckily, she had brought her sword with her. Right now, she would wait for the right moment…

"And my name is Krad," the stranger whispered in Kuina's ear. His warm breath in her ear made her hair stand on end.

"I have a question to ask. Is it all right if I ask something?" Krad said, purring in her ear.

Kuina tensed and said in a small voice, "What is it?"

"Why was Aya so intent on leaving this building? Why would she be afraid?" Krad slowly began to massage her shoulders so Kuina felt herself relaxing even though she didn't want to.

"I didn't mean to scare her. I mean…," Kuina's mind was slowly blanking out.

"Oh, and how did you scare her?" Krad said, eyeing her neck. He could feel her heart thumping madly against his chest through the shirt he was wearing.

"I…,"

Krad cried out sharply as he felt a searing pain on his back. He lost his hold on Kuina and tripped backwards. He shook his hair out of his face and turned to the person who had attacked him. It was Kana and she looked really pissed about something.

"Get away from her you bastard," she said through clenched teeth, holding her sword, preparing to strike again.

Krad hissed in pain. He eyed Kana warily, keeping his eye on her and at the same time, looking at the trail of blood on his arm.

The spell was broken. Kuina blinked confusedly for a moment, and then realization hit her. She ran and hid behind Kana. She was scared. For the first time, she was really scared of a person.

Kana crouched, preparing to strike, when all of a sudden, Krad was gone from her field of vision. Kana could detect his presence but she could not see him. She looked around and noticed that Kuina was gone. Her eyes widened. She kept her guard up, looking around for Kuina. She was angry and humiliated that she couldn't protect Kuina. For the first time, she had failed to protect the one that was the closest to her. Her friend.

WhiteWolf92: Is this considered a cliffy?

Kana: (shrug) I don't know. Maybe. I guess.

Kuina: I am not participating in this story any longer. Kana let's go.

WhiteWolf92: Hey! Come back! Go back to where you belong! I own you!

Kana: She's right you know.

Kuina: Aww,..gee. You're right. How come some of the characters are not there?

WhiteWolf92: I purposely did that ((cough) has no idea whatsoever.)
