Chapter 5

Omi poked at his breakfast, trying to concentrate on eating. Yoji raised an eyebrow at him.

"I don't think it's going to eat you."

Omi looked up, "Huh?"

Yoji nodded at his plate, "What's up? Aren't you hungry?"

Omi jabbed at his food once more and sighed, "I'm worried about Ken."

"Why?"

"I heard a ruckus last night in his room and this morning I went to wake him and his door was locked! I knocked and I heard Ken's voice saying he's sleeping in today," Omi cast a worried glance at Yoji, "That's not like him!"

"A ruckus?"

"Yeah, there was a lot of commotion. I think he and Ran were fighting again. Maybe their conversation didn't go well!"

Yoji suppressed a smile. He had a feeling he knew what the "commotion" was about. He ruffled Omi's hair, "I don't think you need to worry about Ken."

"How do you know?"

"Believe me, kid, I have superior knowledge when it comes to the pleasures of the flesh."

Omi looked at him in disgust, "Eww."

Ken had been staring at Ran's back for the past fifteen minutes, waiting for him to wake up. Ever since he woke up, questions have been brewing in his mind, like, why wasn't Ran even rankled when Ken confessed to being an assasin, Reiji Taketori's assasin, for that matter? He had been overjoyed at his and Ran's reunion and the fact that now there's no secrets between them. While he's still happy to be with Ran, he wants an answer. Ken poked Ran's back, but he only shifted and mumbled something unintelligible.

Ken sighed and shook Ran gently, "Hey Ran, wake up."

Ran growled and opened his eyes, "I'm up, I'm up!" He sat up and stared, "What's wrong?"

Ken paused, how should he asked? Ran looked at him impatiently, "Well? What did you want to talk about? Unless, there was something else you wanted to do instead of talking." His eyes roved over Ken's body suggestively.

"Um, I just wanted to know, why aren't you angry?"

Ran blinked in surprised, "Angry? About what?"

Ken shifted a little, "About...about what I used to do." Despite his confession, Ken still found that he hated to bring up his past as an assasin.

Ran sighed, "Ken, I suppose it's a good time to come clean, as well."

Ken stared, "You lied about something to me?"

"No, I didn't lie, but I did leave things out. I used to be an assassin as well. For Shuichi Taketori."

"Reiji's brother?"

"Yes. He..after Aya was hurt, I wanted revenge and Shuichi, or as we called him, Persia, offered me a way to do it."

Ken was confused, "But, why would he want his brother dead? I mean, they're family!"

Ran shook his head, "Unfortunately, Ken, not all families are devoted to each other. You must have realized this when Reiji tried to have his own son killed."

Ken nodded, "I know, but it still surprises me," he paused for a moment, then asked, "So, do you still do that...work?"

Ran shook his head, "No, after I killed Reiji, I didn't need to do that anymore. But I still need to support Aya and myself, so Persia offered me another position as an investigator and so I've been partnered up with Yoji, as unfortunate as that may be. But, the job's decent and Aya's protected and cared for."

"I have a hard time believing that you don't mind working for a Takatori."

Ran gave a bitter smile, "I'm still not fond of the concept myself, but Persia has proven himself to be trustworthy, so far."

Ken rested his head on Ran's shoulder, "So, you're not angry with me?"

"For what? You had no choice in doing what you did. You certainly had no choice in working for the bastard. I only wish he's still alive, just so I can kill him again for putting you through that."

Ken smiled, "Thanks, Ran." He nuzzled Ran's shoulder for a moment, "Hey, I'm hungry, want some breakfast?"

Ran kissed the top of Ken's head, "Sure. Might as well rescue Omi. God only knows what Yoji's been filling his head with."

Omi still looked miserable from worry. Yoji had done nothing to ease his worries and only teased him all the more. He perked up when he heard Ken's greeting and saw him and Ran strolling towards them.

"Ken!" Omi hurled himself at the other man, "I was so worried that you may be hurt!"

Ken looked confused, "Hurt?"

Yoji spoke up, "He heard noises in your room last night and thought you and good ole' Ran here, were fighting." He gave the two of them a suggestive wink.

Ken turned red and Ran stated, "We're weren't fighting Omi."

"Oh yeah? Than why do you have a bruise?"

Ran frowned, "A bruise?"

"On your neck!"

Yoji went over to the other man and tilted his head, "Oh. My. God! Ran, that's a love bite!"

Omi stared, "A love bite?" He looked dazed for a moment, than blushed, "Oh! You two weren't fighting! You were having...Mnff!" Omi was cut off when Ken covered his mouth.

"I think that's enough of this discussion," Ken said, blushing as Yoji laughed his merry ass off.

To Be Continued.
