WKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKChapter four- injured kitten
Ran's POV
He tossed and turned in his sleep, his body shivered and shook and I eventually found myself holding him. Comforting him whilst he slept because it felt right and because I didn't want to see him hurt again. Luckily Schuldig had kept his distance and stayed well out of my head. It was early in the morning when he woke, about half past six which for Hidaka Ken was extremely early indeed. His body stretched against my own. He stared up at me in shock and confusion for a while; still in a dreamy haze and not quite sure why I was lying beside him.
"Ran?" He questioned quietly and then smiled softly when realisation sunk in his hand moved over to my face and gently knocked away a strand of crimson that had fallen infront of my face. "Sorry, I never intended to be such a burden, I prefer to be independent." He chuckled softly, that intoxicating sound that I heard every day because it seemed he found every day amusing in some way.
"Can I check that?" I asked in a hushed voice and motioned at the bandages that hid his injury. He nodded and shifted on the bed so that I could access the bandages without hurting him in anyway. I carefully undid them and watched as the white material slipped away from the golden skin. My hands moved to his abdomen and slowly pressed down on the sensitive skin surrounding the wound. He flinched when I applied pressure to the skin closest the injury and I immediately apologised.
"It's ok, just don't do it again, I think I'm about ready to train, wanna fight me?" I stared at him and raised an eyebrow in confusion; he chuckled and carelessly ran a hand through his hair.
"That's not such a good idea, you're physically impaired and that would give me an unfair advantage," He chuckled and rolled his eyes at me.
"Don't be so sure, first things first though I've gotta get bandaged up and then grab something to eat." I smirked at him, and he gave me a small shocked expression. I raised an eyebrow begging the question 'what' his smirk grew larger. "It's just a little strange to see you smile that's all," I chuckled and shook my head, finishing off bandaging his wound.
"There, I'll leave you to get ready, Manx and Birman are downstairs have been for a while. I should go talk to them and explain what happened. They'll want to speak to you as well so don't be too long." He nodded and I existed the room, I reached the mission room extraordinarily quickly Manx smiled at me and motioned for me to take a seat. I decided to stand.
"How is Ken?" Birman asked
"He's fine, what is it you want?"
"Please Ran, sit down, we have some more information for you. It's something that you really need to know." I stared at Manx and noted that she was deadly serious, I nodded and sat down on the couch opposite from the two women in my company.
"Go," I growled, something was telling me that they had already relayed the information to Omi and Yohji for they were no where to be seen and were probably making their way to the warehouse to train.
"Katsuya Iwata is not who we originally believed him to be, Kritiker much like you received a letter from Schwartz the other day informing us that they were back. The letter explained about Ken and said that he would be fine, it also said that Katsuya Iwata was not the correct name of the man you have been hunting. His name is infact Takatori Yuuki. One of the last remaining Takatori and he wants revenge on the people that killed his family."
"What do we know about him?" I turned my head to see Ken walking down the stairs his hand was resting lightly over the wound hidden beneath his shirt and the bandages and I could tell from here that it was still slightly painful for him to be moving around.
"Mr Hidaka, please, join us," Birman smiled and motioned at the couch that I was seated on. He nodded and sat down next to me, folding his arms across his chest and waiting for Manx to continue with what she had been saying.
"Ken," the redheaded women greeted with a nod and then went back to the previous conversation. "Our information on him is limited, we know only that he is young, about Omi's age. He was considered by his family as a genius, he was Reiji's favourite child, the only one he kept hidden from the world, his mother was a model in England she was only nineteen when she had the child. A beautiful woman, Reiji was very much in love with her and her him as far as we can tell. She was assassinated two years after the birth of her second child by a group of assassins long since dead."
"Second child?" Ken asked, Manx sighed and nodded,
"Yes, we know nothing of him. He was born in England, almost no one knew of his existence only the midwife and Yuuki not even Reiji knew he had another child. She had left him when she'd first discovered she was pregnant but by leaving him she'd left herself wide open for an attack, she no longer had the protection he had given to her and so she was murdered."
"What does Yuuki look like?" I asked repositioning myself on the couch so that I was more comfortable. Birman took over from there,
"Again we don't know, he and his sibling are a mystery always have been. We tried to track down the midwife that had brought the second child into the world, figured she would have seen Yuuki at some point. By the time we tracked her down she was dead, someone had murdered her, covering the tracks. Schwartz don't want us to know what this boy looks like, they are doing everything within their power to stop us from finding out."
"It's great they're back isn't it?" Ken joked from beside me; I turned to face him and smiled. Manx and Birman chuckled quietly before standing and walking over to the stairs.
"Omi and Yohji have gone to the Kritiker warehouse just outside of town to train. It would be unfair to ask Ken to train with the four of you straight away, that is why we are giving you two the keys to the warehouse on the other side of town. Ran you will go with Ken and train with him. But do not injure him anymore, if a mission comes up we will need the four of you at the best of your abilities. Schwartz are back, things are about to get a hell of a lot more complicated." Birman explained,
"For the moment we're taking things a step at a time, we're not going to go rushing into things. It was dangerous before, with Schwartz around it would be suicidal now." With that said Manx threw me the keys to the warehouse before her and Birman left the room and following that left the shop. Ken turned to me and smiled,
"Lets go," I stared at him for a while, unsure whether it was the best thing to do given the others current condition then again it wasn't like Ken was going to let me get out of it now was it?
"Fine, but we take things easy, no unnecessary strain remember," He nodded and chuckled,
"I know I know, I just want to get out of here and do something more physical and hands on you know what I mean?" I nodded that was so like Ken, always wanting to play soccer even if it was tipping it down with rain or half past one in the morning. He had never been one to sit around and watch TV and being injured was not going to change that.
"Am I going to be able to talk you out of this?"
"Nope and I wanna drive my bike there aswell,"
"You're trying to break all of the rules I set for you last night, aren't you?"
"So what if I am?" He asked with a chuckle,
"Fine, we'll go to the warehouse, but you have to promise me that you will inform me if things get too tough" he nodded in a childlike manner, eager at the thought of going out for even just a few minutes. "And only on one other condition," he stopped smiling and narrowed his eyes on me suspiciously.
"Depends on what it is," The younger explained, his eyes continuing to narrow,
"I drive and we go in my car, I made it perfectly clear to you yesterday that I did not want you riding the Yamaha until you have completely healed. You know better than anyone else that I'm not one to go back on my word."
"Fair enough, we'll go in your car. Still I don't know why you're worrying about me, I'm fine." My eyes locked with his and I took a step closer to him, staring him down with that same stoic look I always seemed to bear.
"Ken, you were just shot and poisoned, you are not fine do you hear me?" He nodded dumbly and there was something about the look on his face that told me I had in some way scared him. I apologised and he accepted and after that we ascended the staircase and walked into the front of the koneko shop. Aya-chan was at Ken's side in a matter of seconds. Her hand grabbed hold of his and she inspected him for any obvious pain or blood. She was acting like I wasn't capable of taking care of him properly. As if she didn't know how protective I was over everything that got close to my heart.
/And we all know how close Kenken's got don't we/ I growled at the German's voice and tried to force him out of my mind. /Oh, why so angry Ran? Did someone find out your dirty little secret/
/Shut up you bastard you don't know shit now get the fuck out of my head/ I screamed out in my mind, the sound of nasal laughter was enough to make me what to shoot myself.
/You got a nasty little tongue there Ran, maybe you should go wash your mouth out with soap like a good little boy./ The snide remark made me growl, I could just picture the others face and wanted to punch it so bad it made a smile play on my lips when the visual image played out in my minds eye. /Hey hey hey, is that necessary? What would Kenken think/
/Stop calling him that you bastard/
/Oh…Ran's getting all protective over the little soccer kitten…/ Another deep chuckle. /Then again I have to say, I can clearly see what you see in him. Well it's been fun but I've gotta go, see ya soon Weiss…/
"Ran? You ok?" I glanced up to stare into those beautiful ocean coloured orbs, I felt like reaching out and knocking back the chocolate strands that had once again fallen into his eyes but I forced back the urge.
"Fine, you wanted to go lets go," I snapped irritably and pushed him aside. There was hurt in those eyes at what I had done but my mind was elsewhere. On something or more specifically someone else, Schuldig wanted something I could see that clear as day. He was scheming something and nothing brought forth by that lunatic could ever be good.
Normal POV"So is everything going to plan?" The man asked, his face was hidden by the darkness in the room. The only light filtering in from the window behind him but instead of showing his identity it glowed around his body giving him an almost angel like appearance. It didn't matter to the others in the room if they couldn't see the face of the man because they already knew what he looked like. He was their new boss, he gave orders and they followed.
"Of course, you asked for the fall of Weiss we will deliver it to you" Crawford's deep voice cut through the darkness. His glasses glinting in that same sinister way they always seemed to when he was planning something or hiding something from someone.
"However this one interests me immensely," he chuckled and passed a photo across the desk to where Crawford lifted it and stared at it. He smiled maliciously and glanced over at the boy sat behind the desk.
"What would you like us to do with him?" The Schwartz leader asked softly setting the photo down on the desk once again. The younger chuckled and leaned back in his chair.
"I want you to tear him apart, destroy his feisty spirit and leave me with the hollow shell for which to entertain myself. I want him to kill those he loves; I want him to watch their blood as it drips from his hands. I want him to loose all of his will and I want him to succumb to the darkness within him before he submits to me."
"Not a lot then?" Schuldig joked and chuckled to himself as he searched the boy's mind for the image of the man he and Brad were talking about. He smirked and winked at the other, "ooh good choice of course getting him to kill his friends and submit would be like trying to get a fish to breath without water." The boy's eyes narrowed on the German and he leaned forward making a bridge with his hands and propping his chin on them.
"Well then what are you going to do?" The boy asked, the orange haired German shrugged and turned to face Farfarello. The golden eye glimmered and a smirk tugging at the left side of his beautifully scared lips. He walked closer to the German circling him in that seductive manner he seemed to do everything in.
"I have an idea," every head snapped in the Irishman's direction except for Schuldig who just draped his arm around the smaller mans shoulders. Knowing full well what the others intentions were. "It won't be long before his world comes crashing down anyway, wait till then, he'll wish for another life and Schwartz will bring it to him. Then we'll kindly give him to you…we will do as you ask. But we must play our cards right. We are artists Takatori-san, and great art always takes time, be patient, do not rush us and everything you want will fall snugly into place."
"Nicely said Farfarello, I agree we can do far more on our own then with you constantly breathing down our necks. I mean no disrespect to you but we need our space, we will destroy Weiss give us time," The young Takatori smiled at Nagi and gave a courteous nod to the youngest member of Schwartz.
"Fine, I'll leave you to your own devices but please, don't screw up." There was a click as the door opened. A small stream of light filtered into the darkness and the small whimpering of a child could be heard. Each member or Schwartz stepped to the side, into the cover of the darkness.
"Onisan, I had a bad dream," the small child explained as he wiped his tears away with the blanket in his hand and then the stuffed blue bunny rabbit in the other.
"Ssh, come here chibi," the boy whispered softly, the younger quickly ran over to the desk and jumped onto his brothers lap hugging him tightly. The elder hugged the child back before lifting his head and looking over to where the four men of Schwartz were stood.
"Thank you for your time gentlemen you may leave now," they nodded simultaneously before leaving the room and closing the door behind them. They walked to the car in silence but the minute they entered the midnight blue vehicle Schuldig had broken it.
"He interests me," He admitted as he leaned back against the leather seat in the back of the sedan.
"Takatori-san?" Nagi asked, Schuldig raised an eyebrow and frowned at the question.
"No Nagi Frankenstein's monster honestly and you're supposed to be the genius of the group." The German laughed but was stopped when a hand slapped him across the face. He growled at Crawford and rubbed where the contact had been made.
"Shut up, things have changed. It's not a simple case of just killing them all now, he wants them to fall at their own hands." Farfarello chuckled and tilted his head so that he eye was staring directly at Brad.
"But isn't that what we've always wanted, think of how perfect that chaos will be. Trust me Crawford it'll be easier than you think."
"And when exactly did you start to see the future?" The pre-cog snapped angrily, Nagi snorted softly and placed a hand on Crawford's shoulder, motioning for him to clam down.
"Enough, I think we should listen to Farfarello, he's not as insane as he makes himself out to be. He knows what he's doing. We'll accomplish what Takatori had asked of us. We are Schwartz and we will succeed."
WKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKOk the plot is kicking in at long last, there is definite Ran Ken action in the next chapter so yay. I'll finally be earning the R rating or M rating as it's now called for this fic and I think you can all guess what I'm talking about there n.n I know it's slow and boring at the moment but everything should be kicking off real soon so just stick with it please and drop me a review because it would make me real happy n.n
Review repliesAA- Thanks, I'm glad that you're enjoying it it's always nice to hear that and I hope that this chapter hasn't let you down in anyway. Yep Ran/Ken is great, it was infact the thing that got me into Weiss Kreuz in the first place so it is very dear to my own heart. Thank you and I hope you enjoy what's left to come n.n
shikigami-kun- Hm 'Schuldig do your worse' you asked for it so don't go cursing me when he does n.n Mwahahaha, thanks for the review, I hope you liked this chapter and that it will get me another review (hint hint) thank you Shiki-kun and I hope I hear from you soon n.n
Kurama's kitsune- Yeah I love Schwartz too they're some of the best bad guys I've ever come across. Hm 'crying for more' that's a mark I'd like to hit but I doubt I will I can only hope that you liked it enough to review again thanks hun.
dark- Yes bad Aya-chan but what can I say? I love the suspense and I know, they were so close and I was soo evil as to stop anything before it could begin. But I promise you I will not do that again, I hope that you enjoy this chapter, with the hugging at the beginning and that I will hear from you again soon thanks again hun.
Gillian Sillis- Ah I know what you mean about the weather, I live in England (ENGLAND, known for it's crappy weather) and it's boiling. Going to school over the past few weeks in this heat has been hell. Ah yes Schwartz I think this chappie cleared that up n.n I'm glad you liked the bit with the lighter I myself actually saw it as one of my best moments (not being full of myself or anything it just amused me n.n.) Farfie's new toy you ask? Well you will have to wait and see I'm not letting anything slip yet or you might stop reading sorry hun n.n. And you make a good point with Omi and Yohji, basically I see it as this, all of that happened around the same time as Kase so what happened would have been magnified and he would have felt like everyone had someone who was more important to them than him. It is a little farstretched and I did expect more people to pick up on it but oh well n.n and I would never kill you for having your own opinion hun so don't worry. And banning you? Never, I need all the reviews I can get n.n I'm a review fiend. Wow one long review reply for one long review (thanks for that by the way ) I admit not a lot of Ran/Ken in this chappie but just you wait till next time (wink wink) kisses and hugges right back at ya hun your reviews always make me feel great n.n
rebellion2fate- I love having my story described as 'awesome' that really lightened my mood when I read it n.n Ran/Ken fluff? I'm not sure how much more of that I can fit in, Ran/Ken action is what's heading your way my dear so don't worry about that because there will be a bit more in time n.n And yeah bad Schuldig and Aya-chan but these things happen nothing can be helped I hope you enjoyed this chappie and that you will enjoy the rest and I will hear from you again soon n.n
Next update Monday 4th of July, Ah two days before my dentist appointment and my first ever filling ;; well that's me signing out now because I've talked for way too long Ja ne my friends and I hope I see ya again soon n.n
