A Little LUCK: Luck's Final Countdown

"Can't you hear them, little brother?" Lucious laughed madly as he danced around the room.

"Hear what?" Cat asked not amused as he stared at him. He hadn't heard anything and from the looks of Kiss, who was holding his daggers, and Uncle, who was holding his whip, neither had they.

"The eight rats scurrying around." Lucious smirked looking to the roof as he clutched his chain closer to him.

"Sure," Cat lied.

"Are you all ready to prove yourselves as my faithful servants?"

"Yes, master Lucious," they all chanted in unison. Cat closed his eyes as he prayed that they would make it out alive. Unlike his companions he carried no weapon. He didn't need one; all he needed was his speed and fighting ability, but still he felt uneasy. Weiss and Schwarz were powerful rivals.

Omi stood quietly in the shadows with his darts laced in sleeping powder. It was he who would make the first move, and the rest would follow. He was ready to throw the first dart when he heard Lucious say something about eight rats. No, he couldn't let Lucious get to him. The man was obviously crazy and he had to act now. Omi winced as he threw the first dart hitting one of the minions in the side. The man staggered back and forth until he eventually hit the floor with a thud. Schuldig and Nagi joined in, hopping down to help him take out the men. Nagi slammed one of the men into the wall; he hit the floor blood pouring from his head, while Schuldig twisted another's neck leaving the man lifeless on the floor.

"Stop! We're not supposed to kill them. They are brainwashed; remember we are just supposed to make sure they stay out of the way. You guys just killed some innocent people," Omi yelled as he pointed his darts at Nagi angrily.

"Oops, guess I forgot, silly me." Schuldig sneered at him as Nagi knocked the darts out of his hands.

"You do it your way, and we'll do it our way," Nagi said as he smashed another man into the wall.

"I told you to stop!"

"Come on, Nagi, lets just give into his demands before he goes crazy. Omi's not like us, he's boring." Schuldig immediately began to manipulate the men as Nagi glared at him and simply held the men back.

It wasn't long before Aya and Crawford jumped down and attacked Lucious who was wielding the chain. But the chain never made contact with either of them as Crawford yelled out each of Lucious's moves.

Kiss was the one who sought out Youji and it was obvious he wasn't really trying to hurt him as he lightlytossedhis daggers around. Each time Youji went to make an attack Kiss would lean in as though he were trying to kiss him. Ken took on Cat, and Omi was relieved to see that Ken wouldn't have to fight his old tormenter. Farfarello squared off against Uncle, and Omi had to wonder which psycho would reign supreme.

"Ow," Aya howled as the chain struck his back.

"Aya, are you ok?" Crawford asked looking at him with guilt in his normally cold eyes.

"Of course he's not; he's wearing down just like you, Crawford. If you guys stop your disobedience I won't punish you too bad." Lucious sneered giving Crawford a wicked grin.

"You must know, Lucious, I wouldn't be here if I didn't think I could win."

"No, you're a liar. You're a liar! I will rule this world because I am the chosen one and the chosen one never dies." Lucious yelled with anger as his chain flew at them. Crawford quickly scooped Aya up in his strong arms as they landed safely away from the chain. Crawford saved me, Aya thought as his face heated. He wasn't a girl and he refused to be treated like one. He pushed Crawford away as he got out of his tight embrace.

"Don't worry, Aya, I won't let him hurt you," Crawford whispered as he pushed him to the side and went back to fighting. NowAya was pissed off, he was just as strong as Crawford but if Crawford wanted to die first he wasn't going to stand in his way. Aya looked over in surprise to see Farfarello was no longer fighting Uncle but Cat instead.

"I'm not your damn doll!" Ken howled as he lunged at Uncle.

"Pretty porcelain," Uncle managed to get out before Ken's claws ripped into his chest spreading blood across his leather outfit.

"Uncle!" Kiss cried as he raced to his side. "They are too strong for us. Sorry, Cat, it looks like it is time we part ways. It's been really fun, and I would have enjoyed having more time with you but I need to keep Uncle alive," Kiss yelled as he grabbed Uncle and leaned up against a wall which swung around hiding the two, as Ken beat on it trying to make it open again.

"No! Traitors, you're all traitors," Lucious growled.

"I'm still here," Cat whimpered weakly as he looked at his brother through teary eyes.

"You're nothing. You can't help me; no one can. You're not the chosen one. You don't even deserve to clean my boots, Cat," Lucious cried as Aya held up his Katana seeing his chance to take Lucious down. He lunged towards Lucious tripping over a small pebble on the way, but it didn't matter his sword still went through the black haired man and his body crumpled to the ground. Youji came up behind Cat as the boy stared off into space and wrapped his wire around his neck until Cat eventually dropped to the ground lifeless. Aya withdrew his Katana and raised it again wanting to make sure he hit the heart.

"That's enough Aya; he's dead. You don't need to do that." Crawford's cold voice rang out from his side. Aya sighed. It was finally over and he put down his Katana. But a part of him felt sad as he looked at Crawford knowing that soon they would be enemies again. It would be hard for him the day he would have to kill the man he had given himself to. Crawford took a few steeps toward where Cat's lifeless body lay, pushing Youji away.

"You and I could have been quite the team but I guess I can't blame you. You stuck by your lover's side until the end." Crawford turned and left the building not glancing back at him.

Aya sighed as he rearranged the flowers for the fourth time. He had been disturbed when Manx had informed them that when they had gone to collect the brainwashed men, Lucious and Cat's bodies were gone. Had Crawford lied to him? Why would Crawford want them alive? It didn't make sense; they had humiliated Crawford when they had kidnapped them. He could only speculate that Kiss and Uncle had come back and collected the bodies. He knew he really shouldn't worry himself since L.U.C.K. was no longer a threat. It had been a month since the big battle, and Aya was feeling sad. He missed Crawford, but he knew they would never meet as friends again.

"Hey, Ken, could you help me with the flower pot," Omi huffed as he tried picking up the large ceramic item.

"Sure." Ken smiled happily as he helped Omi move it. Youji came staggering in late as usual and grabbed the broom. Aya smiled, it looked like everything was back to normal. Ken had healed mentally and Omi and he had reconciled. Youji was back to his old ways, but Aya was not happy to go back to his old routine of ignoring everyone and visiting his comatose sister.

"How many times are you going to arrange those flowers," Crawford's strong voice said from behind him.

"Crawford!" He gasped in surprise as he kissed him not caring if his stunned teammates saw. He heard the flower pot drop.

"Gross," Omi shuddered as Ken just stared at them. Aya broke away from the kiss reluctantly as he gasped for air.

"I hope this doesn't mean the rest of Schwarz will be hanging around here too," Youji sighed as he pushed his sunglasses down.

"Don't worry, Youji, I know you've been missing Schuldig." Crawford glared at him coldly.

"Yeah, right, just remember, Aya, he is the enemy." Youji glared back at Crawford.

"Oh, don't worry I haven't forgotten. I'd still kill him in an instant," Aya purred as he ran his fingers through Crawford's hair and dragged the taller man into another kiss before Crawford could protest.

"Lucious, wake up." Cat said as he pounced on the bed.

"Go away, Cat, it's too early." Lucious mumbled as he buried himself under the covers. Cat smiled at him. It had been a month since he had dragged his brother out of the building and patched him up. Luckily no vital organs had been hit by Aya's sword. They we're also lucky that he was so used to getting strangled by his brother that Youji's wire hadn't been tight enough around his neck.

"I love you, big brother," Cat purred as he nuzzled up against Lucious. Yes, now everything was perfect; he no longer had to worry about taking over the world and being the chosen one. He had no idea what happened to Uncle or Kiss and he didn't care; they were both traitors. All he needed was his brother and for the first time he truly had him all to himself. He would have to one day remember to thank Schwarz and Weiss for saving his brother.

"You seem happy," Crawford said as he drew Aya closer to him in the bed.

"I never thought you would come to see me. I mean we're enemies, right?" Aya sighed as he kissed his way up and down Crawford's chest.

"We don't have to be. I like it better when we're like this than when we're fighting."

"But our teammates will never accept it." Aya stated as he felt slightly guilty being with the man who was once a cruel and uncaring enemy. The same man who had once kidnapped his sister so he could be forever young.

"Who cares about what they think. We're the leaders and don't you forget that, Aya. Now that I've had you, I don't plan to give you up so easily." Crawford grinned wickedly as he pulled him up and kissed him passionately on the lips.

"Wait, one more thing." Aya pulled away from the intimate touch. There was something nagging him and he had to get it out.

"What?" Crawford asked with and edge of irritation.

"Why didn't you let me finish Lucious off?"

"Because I knew he was no longer a threat. Cat deserves some happiness in his life and so do I. Even the evilest people can find happiness, Aya," Crawford explained as he leaned down to kiss him again. Aya closed his eyes. He supposed that even Crawford deserved a little happiness.

Soon.
