Chapter seven- Strange,

Ran's POV

I stared at my ceiling in confusion, everything had been fine when we were in the car driving back from that warehouse and then it had all just gone horribly wrong. For once I'd had the thing that I'd craved for what seemed like eternity and it had been cruelly snatched away from me. His behaviour had been so strange and out of it, it had been like watching a volcano erupt. Did he think I didn't love him? Did he think I was in love with Sakura?

I heard the noise of a motorcycle pull up outside and leapt to my feet, I ran to the window and stared down at the street below but it wasn't him. Just some random person waiting for a truck to pass before they continued on their way. I snarled and threw my fist into the nearby wall, had I done this? Had I made him so confused? Had I done the thing I had promised I wouldn't do to him? Had I hurt him? Had I betrayed him?

Shit, I just wanted to talk to him, to hold him, to hear his voice. I wanted to explain everything, tell him how much I loved him, and how much I needed him. I'm not sure how long I leant against that window, just waiting for him to return. At some point, Sakura had come in asking if I was ok, I just shook my head and told her to leave. I was blaming her because it was too hard for me to blame myself. Aya-chan had walked past the door several times, telling me that she had made food and it was downstairs. I told her that I wasn't hungry and she pushed the matter no longer.

I watched as Omi and Yohji went out to try and find the brunette, no matter how many times they tried, they came back empty handed and with a look or dread on their faces. And when night rolled in and they walked into my room and sat on my bed, watching me watch the road beneath. We shared the same belief that the longer he was gone for the less chance their was of him coming back…to us…to me… tears stung the back of my eyes as I thought of that night we had spent together. The overwhelming pleasure of my lips on his, sweat covered body against sweat covered body.

Everything had just been too rushed, if only I had taken it slow then maybe he would have seen that I truly did love him and didn't only want him for a quick screw. I think the reason for him flipping out had been because I had gone about showing him my affections in a bizarre way and thus he had reacted bizarrely. Still there was something more to it, I knew that, Schwartz had something to do with it I could tell by how quiet Schuldig had become all of a sudden. No longer in my mind…

Had he been in Ken's?

"He'll be ok, he'll storm in tomorrow morning and apologise for the way he acted. That's Ken, he's a hothead, he acts on instinct and in the heat of the moment. He leaps before he looks then deals with the consequences afterwards. But, he knows what he's doing and he knows how to protect himself, there's no sense in us worrying so much, there's nothing we can do till he returns. I know my best friend, he'll be in a hotel or a bar somewhere unwinding." Yohji explained lighting up a cigarette.

"I'm not so sure," I muttered, "Ken has never acted like this before, sure he can be irrational sometimes but never like this. Something else was affecting his judgement, that present from Schwartz was something used to lure him away from us."

"Don't jump to conclusions Ran! Schwartz may have nothing to do with this, I agree with Yohji I say we wait. Give him a day, two tops, he'll come back, he's Weiss he needs the rest of us because we're so much like him. We're his family, he needs us as much as we need him." I couldn't argue with that logic, Omi had spoken perfect truth. So why was it that I didn't believe it? Why couldn't I imagine Ken walking through the door tomorrow morning apologising?

Why did I still think this somehow linked in with Schwartz?

"Get some sleep Ran, what if something did happen and he needed our help? You being dead on your feet wouldn't help in the slightest." Omi pleaded, his eyes shimmering in the dim light. The chibi was right, I needed to sleep, though I knew that when I closed my eyes I would see him. I'd see his body underneath mine, feel my lips on his, taste him. I would be able to sense the sweat and I would recall the bliss we had shared together only to wake up the next morning and see that he wasn't there.

"Omi's right, Ken'll come back, just don't think about it anymore, switch off and go to sleep and in the morning…well…we'll see," and with that said the two of them left my room. Closing the door behind them, I growled and threw myself down onto the bed, squeezing my eyes shut and forcing myself to sleep because it was too hard to stay awake without him being there. Too painful to be without him…why was it that you only ever miss something when it was gone?

But Ken wasn't gone…he'd be right back…he'd walk in tomorrow smiling and laughing and I'd hold him in my arms once again. Then I'd make love to him and show him how much he truly meant to me…and it was with those thoughts…those little lies that everyone tells themselves before they go to bed at night that I slept. Although the sleep was uneasy and uncomfortable and as light as could be incase something happened, it brought with it images of him and thus I was happy.

Ken's POV

I awoke to darkness, my whole body hurt like hell, I went to stand but couldn't. I was dizzy and my vision was blurred not that having perfect vision would have helped in the perpetual darkness. I screamed out, asking for help but receiving none from the four walls enclosing me. I screamed again before backing into one of the corners and trying to think back to the last thing I remembered.

I had been riding a motorcycle after storming out of koneko, Yohji's motorcycle to be exact, then some guy appeared out of nowhere riding my Yamaha and knocked me off the road. After that there was nothing, I had blacked out and somehow ended up here, wherever here was. My body went numb, then pain overwhelmed it again, I missed the numbness almost instantaneously. I groaned in agony, my entire being burned, I tried to push myself up from the floor but the aching of my limbs was too great and so I merely managed to collapse once again.

"Hm, hm, hm, poor little kitty, strayed from the group and got lost… now he's all alone and injured to boot." The voice was so familiar to me, yet the only thing that registered in my mind was that I was to fear it. I went to move, to try and run but all I did was flinch and scream as I knocked one of my sides against the wall. "I wouldn't move if I were you, broken ribs, sprained left wrist and right ankle. Plus the standard bumps and bruises one is likely to accumulate if one should happen to be knocked off of a motorcycle."

"Who the fuck are you? Where am I?"

"Ssh, all will be revealed in time, first let us help you with your wounds." Another voice, from right beside the other.

"Why should I trust you?"

"Because we are offering our help, you must understand it's not something we do on a regular basis, now please, what fun can we have with you when you are so badly injured." The voice…it was…it couldn't be…I hadn't been…no…

"Hm, hm, hm, yes I apologise, for I was the cause of those injuries but you must understand it was in your best interest that I did. Think about it, how much longer would Weiss have kept you around anyway? You're becoming unstable Ken, unreliable, untrustworthy, you're showing mercy to your enemies and doubting your own abilities, we can help you with that."

"Schwartz!" I snarled as the lights came on and illuminated the two men before me, Schuldig was stood on the far side by the door and Farfarello was crouched right infront of me. His head tilted slightly in confusion as he glanced me over, noting my wounds and their causes. "Fuck off!" I screamed at him, he just chuckled and licked his lips before seizing hold of my arm and snapping the bone back into place. I held in the scream of pain as the bone was forced back into the socket.

"Oh, I retract my earlier statement, that wrist was broken not sprained," the left side of his lips pulled upwards in a smile and Schuldig chuckled from where he was stood. I stared at that one golden eye before my attention returned to my wrist, the pain was gone.

"Amazing isn't he? He can fix everything with a crack of a bone and a few bandages and can make your emotional pain just fade away with a slice of a knife. No Kenken, I'm not talking about murder so don't worry about that. Farfie's an artist, he likes to draw and skin is the canvas of his choice." My eyes focused on the white haired man before me as he went about how to fix my other injuries. It seemed strange but I felt as though I should trust them. "Go with that thought, we don't wish to harm you,"

"I'll bandage your ribs for you, but firstly, are you bleeding anywhere?" Farfarello asked, his voice soft, calm, and completely sane. I stared at him and shook my head.

"No, I don't think so," He moved his gaze from my face to my shirt and pointed at a crimson spot opposite where my bullet wound was.

"Really? So what's that?" I didn't know whether to say sorry or push him away from me and try to break free from wherever I was being held. Still, it was probably in my best interest to stay put considering either one of them could overpower me without even having to try. Before I could think about anything else the Irishman before me had my shirt off and the bandages removed. He chuckled and leaned closer to the gash across my lower abdomen licking the blood from the wound. I gasped and immediately pushed him away from me.

"What the fuck do you think you're doing?" I yelped and placed my hand over the cut, both of the other men chuckled as Farfarello stood and walked back over to me. Sitting right back down where he had previously been and grabbing hold of my face in a vice like grip.

"I'm clotting the wound in order to stop the blood flow, why? Is there something uncomfortable about having my tongue on your flesh?"

"I don't think so, I rather enjoy it, infact you could say that I'm getting a little jealous stood all the way over here watching my koi lick another man." Schuldig joked and chuckled as he grabbed a cigarette and placed it in his mouth before lighting it and taking a deep drag from the small white stick resting in his mouth. Farfarello's lips came dangerously close to those of my own before he moved and whispered softly into my ear.

"What's wrong kitten? Do you fear me? Do you fear what I could do to you?" I shivered as the warm breath floated across my face. His hands moved to my sides and gently danced their way across my skin. "Do you fear your helplessness?" I shook my head and took a deep breath before responding to the question.

"No!" he chuckled and lightly scratched at my skin with his nails.

"Do you fear what you are slowly becoming? A murderer like us?"

"Yes" I wasn't sure why I had just admitted that to them, wouldn't they use that against me in the future? After all they were my enemies surely they'd do anything to destroy me. Then again if that was the case why hadn't they killed me when they'd had the chance, when I couldn't defend myself? Why were they helping me now when they could just kill me?

"Because we see in you one of our own, Schwartz would never kill another Schwartz. There's darkness burning within your soul my little kitty-cat, let it out or it'll tear you apart." Farfarello chuckled and slipped a small knife out of his mouth, I sighed and took a deep breath. Was it true that I was one of them? Had I got it wrong by joining Weiss? Did I belong here, with them? Farfarello smirked at me and lifted the cross pendent from where it hung round my neck, tracing the symbol of his faith before dropping it back against my chest. "Do you like it kitten?" I stared into his lone golden eye and nodded slowly.

"Yes, I think I do…" He smiled and ran the tip of the knife across my cheek drawing blood before licking it away with his tongue…

"Good, I killed the man who made it for you, it was his heart in that box, I did it so that this…" He took hold of the necklace with the knife scratching my throat slightly but not deep enough for blood. "Would be yours and only yours, no one else will ever wear a necklace such as this. It is unique to you just as you are unique to all the world…" those words twisted and twirled in my mind…what were they planning to do with me?

Normal POV

"What are they doing in there?"

"Exactly what you asked Takatori-san," was the curt answer Crawford gave as he walked away from the door and sat beside Nagi on the couch. "But I wish to inquire, why him?" Yuuki chuckled and turned to face the two members of Schwartz that were at present his companions.

"Simple, there is not a member of Weiss that does not trust him completely, not one among them that would be willing to attack him and strike him down. Fujimiya Ran would do it to any of the other two if he had to but he loves this one far too much to hurt him. Infact quite the opposite he would go to extraordinary lengths to protect him and how much would it hurt him to see the one he loves with the men he despises the most?" The young boy asked as he leant against the nearby wall a flicker of glee shining in the dark chocolate eyes.

"Are you truly doing this for revenge on your family or is there something else to it?" Nagi asked softly, his midnight blue orbs shining with curiosity.

"Well of course I wish for revenge for the members of my family that were killed by them however…there is a curse upon the Takatori name, one that states you will eventually be assassinated by the best of the best. I do not so much care about myself more my younger brother, he knows nothing of this, nothing of the Takatori's, he is not a Takatori and he never will be. I want him to escape this curse even if I do not." The other two men were slightly shocked at this, a Takatori that did not care centrally for himself it was like a blue moon, very rarely happened.

"How admirable," Nagi muttered and folded his arms across his chest, Yuuki smirked and nodded.

"Yes I suppose it is, how long will this take exactly?" Crawford shrugged and glanced over at the door and then back to Yuuki.

"I wouldn't hang around for them, Schuldig and Farfarello aren't ones to rush something. This will undoubtedly take time; we will contact you when they're done. Go home, spend time with you brother, Nagi and I must go and find out what Kritiker have planned. They are being oddly silent all of a sudden."

"I agree, they're probably planning something it would be in your best interest to let us find out what." Yuuki smiled at the other boy and nodded softly before taking one last glance at the cell door that contained the two other members of Schwartz and the one who belonged to them now. He chuckled sadistically before saying goodbye and leaving the apartment. Nagi sighed when he was gone and rubbed his temples gently. "What are you planning Crawford?"

"After all of this there will only be one remaining group in this 'alliance' either the Takatori's or Schwartz. I tire of the Takatori's refusal to die, these two will be the last we protect and they will be the last we betray."

"Then why do we keep stopping Weiss from doing this for us?" The young Japanese boy asked, searching for the answer on his leaders face. Crawford smirked and leant closer to the teen.

"Where would be the fun in that Nagi? Every pest, every annoyance to Schwartz must fall by our hands and it's ten times sweeter when they fall by their own. Now come on we must find out what Kritiker have planned."

"Is this the future for Schwartz? Is this all our destinies hold? Will we forever remain assassins destroying whatever comes close to us? What are we trying to accomplish with all of this death and disaster? How will it end Brad? Will we walk off in to the sunset as victors, free to do as we please and kill when we want? Or will we be delivered the same murderous fate that we have sentenced so many others to over the years? Hm, hm, hm or maybe not even you can foresee that, perhaps Schwartz is a mystery even to itself,"

"Maybe, but no mystery remains a mystery forever, we must all understand that there will be an end to Schwarz whatever that ending may be. It wouldn't seem fitting for us to find freedom after all of this. After everything we've done, what we are, we would never be able to become 'normal' and just blend in with the rest of society and I for one wouldn't want to."

"I feel the same, do Schuldig and Farfarello really believe that they can turn Hidaka Ken against those he loves the most? He's a stubborn one; they may be able to confuse him but getting him to kill the rest of Weiss. Are they strong enough to manipulate him so very much?"

"Of course not, but we knew this was coming and made preparations Hidaka will do as he is told. I have foreseen the downfall of Weiss and it is at his hands not ours. Until Weiss are out of the way we do as Takatori Yuuki instructs understood?"

"Understood, I'll hack into the Kritiker information sites that they set up for their agents, any new missions will be posted there. If I can't find any there I'll hack into Weiss' computer system and see if Omi has written anything up about a new mission or received an E-mail with anything resembling mission info. If all else fails we can ask Schuldig to dive into one of Weiss' heads and see what he can find. They'll be too absorbed with Ken to notice him invading their minds anyway."

"Agreed, contact me the minute you find anything, I'll be in the study until then. And Nagi, no more questions on where Schwartz are heading we will deal with those kinds of situations if and when they arise."

"Yes, of course." And with that the two members turned and went separate ways. By the end of this day the future of Schwartz, Weiss and the Takatori's would have changed drastically. Questions would have been asked only to be left hanging unanswered in the air and heartache over all else would reign supreme…

It's getting strange now I'll admit that. Ok well things are about to explode big time, what do Schwartz have planned for Kenken and what is Yuuki planning? He he, I know. I'm well aware this chapter is completely and utterly strange hence the title but it's just a bridge to go from one thing to the other. Next chapter things that desperately need to be explained will be and Ken's in for a world of pain (my poor baby I'm soo cruel) Please leave a review it would mean a lot to me n.n

Silverwingedangle- (blink, blink) uh…I don't understand, all I can say is thanks for the review and I know the thing with Omi was a bit of a screw up so I'm sorry and I hope you can see through it, thanks for the review and I hope I get more amusing reviews from ya because they give me a good laugh…thanks hun n.n

bffimagine- Yep, confusing it is, that wasn't what I was originally planning on but it just ended up as something really baffling and it's going to get a hell of a lot worse before it gets better…thanks for the review and I hope this chappie prompts another one from ya (hint, hint)

Lk- Yep RanxKen is great but I do have to say I am partial to FarfarelloxKen there's just something so sinister about it so don't be shocked if that pops up a bit…there won't be much but I just love Schwartz and their evilness so it had to go in n.n I'm glad you like the characterisation and I hope to hear from ya again soon n.n

RosefaerietaleRed- Thanks for the review and the driver was Farfie but I'm guessing you know that now n.n thanks for the review and I hope I hear from ya soon n.n

JadedSoul- Yay a new reviewer, I liked that line too I was very proud of it and thought that it was a very Ken thing to say, anyhoo I'm glad that you like and I hope that you stick with it and that I'll be hearing a lot more from you real soon…thanks hun n.n

Dark- Ha, I like being compared to Schuldig, he's soo cool, I'm really glad to hear that you are still enjoying it, I'm surprised at how many reviews I've gotten so far but really pleased at them as well. Thank you for contributing to my happiness, hm you want the pendent hey? Tough it's Kenken's and as far as I can tell…non existent I just made it up (laughs manically) well hope to hear from ya again real soon hun n.n till then thanks for all the reviews.

Bweiss- Hm, Sakura being abandoned in the woods and then hunted by rabid wolves, (thinks on it then goes all teary eyes) you're a girl after my own heart I do agree with that. I'll have to think of how I can fit it in to the fanfic because that just sounds like fun. Anyhoo I'm glad that you're enjoying the fic and I hope that you stick with it and that I hear from ya real soon thanks a million hun n.n

Gillian Sillis- Hey it's cool, I love long reviews and yours really lift my spirits when I've been having a bad ass day so please…DON'T shorten them I like that you ask questions and offer constructive criticism it proves that you're reading thoroughly. n.nI love to cuddle too, usually my pillow because all the people I know aren't touchy feely --U however I just ordered a Kumagoro plushie which I intend to hug the stuffing out of but I'm straying off topic I'm just soo happy about it n.n back to the review reply.

The whole thing with Ran brushing strands of hair from Ken's eyes was put in for exactly that reason but Ken being unsure of himself and the people around him is unable to view that moment for what it was. Other things also contribute to this fact but they are crucial to the plot and have yet to be mentioned n.n they're a surprise so you'll just have to wait for all to be written and therefore revealed soz hun. Your question on why Omi and Yohji didn't know where Ran and Ken were is easy to answer, Manx and Birman didn't tell them because there really wasn't any need to they wanted Ken to train with Ran so that he could help him get over his injury. To do this they figured he'd need a little one on one time with Abyssinian and Omi and Yohji being themselves had they have known of the existence of this warehouse would have no doubt gone to join in, or watch, or disturb them in general so they kept it a secret. Ran and Ken probably would have told them about the new warehouse but Omi and Yohji had already left by the time they left the meeting with Manx and Birman. I hope that explains it n.n and although it would have been hilarious for Bombay and Balinese to have walked in on the two when they were (cough) at it (cough, cough) I think it would have ruined the moment and the atmosphere I was trying to create. Maybe next time…if there is one (looks around slyly)

As for Ran knowing Sakura was at Koneko, I meant to explain this in the fic but it must have slipped my mind, she's now working there with Aya-chan as the two have become something that resembles 'friends.' Ok the way Ran reacted to Sakura I know totally OOC but there is a reason for it that will be mentioned in a later chapter. It's basically linked to how she looks like Aya-chan and how much he loves his sister I put it in to give Ken something to flip about --U and don't worry about not liking Sakura I personally despise the girl. You're right things like that are bound to happen if you hang around Weiss and they're just going to keep happening so either grow a spine or leave that my theory n.n

What's with the presents you ask? I can't tell…not just yet all will be revealed in time, all I can say is maybe they want Weiss dead or maybe they truly love Kenken and want to give him a better life, who knows in this fucked up excuse for a fanfiction? (I swear it's getting more and more insane and complex by the second.) The questions you're asking me now are exactly the questions I wanted people to start asking around the next few chapters I want to invite the readers into Ken's world and show them his confusion. As for the questions involving the end of the fanfiction, how am I supposed to know? I'm just going where the muses take me n.n I'll tell you one thing though you are a VERY perceptive reader and I've noticed several times now that you're hitting the nail on the head with your questions so just keep that in mind. I can't give it all away you must understand but I'll give ya that much n.n

Ok the necklace's role has yet to be explained so be patient, I know Ken's comment on Sakura was really cruel but he was desperate to find out what Ran's reaction would be so he had to take it to such extremes, forgive him and me? And don't say 'Were a couple' you'll give mean little me bad ideas, just keep in mind that they never actually called things off…just had a little 'tiff' as it were.

Are you psychic or am I that obvious? You were spot on with your guess on who was on the motorcycle n.n Farfie all the way because I love him soo much n.n and Schuldig did offer a little telepathic help to him as well so it was kinda both of them, good guess. Don't apologise for asking for a sooner update, I understand and don't mind, it shows me that you really like my story and that's always a nice thing to see, the martial arts it a key reason I can't update faster my sensei is incredibly strict so I don't like to piss him off with skipping classes or being late so I have to slow my writing down instead, sorry.

Thanks for the comment on my friends or ex friends or whatever you call them I have to admit I would like to make up with them but I'm too stubborn and they're being too bitchy to me so I don't see it happening at least not until after the summer holidays. I break up in two days now so I may be able to get these chapters up sooner… MAY be able to I'm not promising anything though hun even though for being so sweet you do deserve it n.n

'One drop of water already raises the ocean, so let us just start with ourselves.' That's so philosophical and so true no one ever gains anything from terrorism all it ever promotes is pain and loss why people can't see this I don't know. I'm not after global pacifism or complete peace just an end to mindless destruction and pain…maybe that is the key to having global pacifism I don't know I just want everyone I know and care for to live in a safe world…

To end on a happier note thank you for you're wonderful reviews and please leave them as long as they are because I always have fun reading them n.n hope to hear from you again soon hun; (glomp tackles you for the lovely review)

Rebellion2fate- Yay you're still here, oh hunny if you're confused this early in the game then be prepared for some major headaches later…seriously how I'm going to make sense of what my muses have planned I'll never know…ah well…I hope that you enjoyed this chappie and that you will enjoy the many more to come thanks for the review hun n.n

shikigami-kun- Oh you don't have to worry about Schuldig all he will be doing in this fic is confusing people and screwing with Weiss' minds because we all know that's what he does best n.n glad to hear you have your harness on, hope you checked it first, wouldn't want you falling off mid ride n.n thanks for the review hun and I hope I hear from you again real soon n.n
