I'm extremely sorry I haven't updated in awhile. I've just been so busy and I had gotten writer's block. But some new ideas have just popped into my head and they inspired me to write this next chapter. Sorry if the characters are OOC, like I said before, I haven't seen all of Weiss Kreuz but hopefully you will all still enjoy this chapter.
Disclaimer: I do not own Sailormoon and/or Weiss Kreuz
: ChapterTen :
Usagi groaned as she woke up. Her vision blurred as she opened her eyes. Usagi could hear voices faintly between the ringing in her ears.
"Where is...? Find… later".
Squinting Usagi looked around the room trying to decipher what she was seeing.
"I'm glad you decided to join us liebchen" a figure said, bending down and looking into her face. It was Schuldich. He smirked before getting back up.
"Good job Farfarello, now lets get down to business", a another man said from across the room.
Once Usagi vision started to clear she looked up at the men who kidnapped her. Other than Schuldich, she spotted the man that captured her. He was tall, with silverish hair, a patch covering one eye. All in all in, Usagi's opinion, creepy. Usagi looked over and decided to herself that he was the leader. He also was tall, dressed in a business suit, glasses adorning his face, covered by the dark bangs of his hair.
"You are probably wondering why we kidnapped you", the 'leader' stated. Usagi nodded numbly, pushing herself up from her laying position.
"We are the assassin group, Schwarz; my name is Crawford, Schuldich who I'm sure you already know, and Farfarello, the one that kidnapped you. I'd advise you to stay as far away from him as you can", Crawford warned.
"Don't worry liebchen I won't let him hurt you", Schuldich smirked.
"We work for Takatori, Reiji. The popular politician running for election right now", Crawford informed her.
'Where have I heard that name before?' Usagi thought as she absorbed all the information Crawford was telling her.
"What do you want with me?" Usagi asked hesitantly, eyeing her captors.
Crawford ignored her, "We are not any ordinary assassin group, for we all have special powers hence why Schuldich was able to read your mind and even your past memories. This leads to why you are here. Schuldich here gave me some important information from your past... Sailormoon", Crawford smirked slightly.
Usagi gasped.
"We have proposition for you. Join us and help us defeat Weiss and we'll let you live. Don't and we kill you immediately", Crawford stated.
"Who's Weiss?" Usagi asked.
'I have to keep them talking if I'm ever going to get out of here', Usagi thought.
"Another group of assassins and believe me when I tell you we are not your enemy. If you ever want to meet a more evil group of assassins it's Weiss. They have killed many for no reason; they are ruthless killers that need to be annihilated. I know you can help us Usagi, it's for the good of everybody", Crawford told her.
'Should I believe them? They could be lying', Usagi contemplated.
Usagi looked up and straight into his eyes, trying to tell if he was truthful. But his eyes were empty depths of nothingness, no hint of deception was shown in them.
'Well, I'm pretty good at telling if someone isn't truthful. Maybe he isn't all that bad' Usagi told herself.
'Who are you kidding? Not all that bad? They kidnapped you for heaven's sake, don't trust them!' her conscience berated her. 'Stay out of this', Usagi thought, pushing her conscience to the farthest corners of her mind.
"I don't know", Usagi stated.
"What happened to the Sailormoon that we all knew and loved? You would be willing to let these killers run free, killing innocent lives?"
"Of course not!" Usagi cried,
"But there's a difference, when I was Sailormoon I was destroying monsters not humans beings".
"There is no difference, humans beings that kill others ruthlessly are just like the monsters you so heroically destroyed in the past"
"It's just been so long since... since… I just don't know if I could do such a thing", Usagi sighed.
"That's why we're here. You're not going to kill them alone; we'll be with you along the way".
Could she really do it, could she really kill people like herself? Something felt wrong. Maybe...
"I want proof, give me proof that Weiss are ruthless killers." Usagi demanded.
"I was wondering when you were going to ask that", Crawford stated.
"If you don't mind, follow me". Usagi stumbled into a standing position.
Her legs felt like jelly as she began to follow.
'Need me to carry you?' Schuldich whispered into her mind.
"Shut up", Usagi murmured ignoring his presence.
Crawford took them into a room. Usagi squinted to see in its dark crevices. Suddenly a bright flash of light shined on the wall. It was a projector.
"Here are only some of the outcomes of Weiss's doings".
Usagi gasped as he slipped the picture in.
The image showed a middle age woman or at least she looked like she was but there was so much blood covering her surrounded by police tape. One wouldn't have even been able to tell the color of her hair. Her stomach was ripped open, or more liked sliced open, her entrails yanked out, the killer had wrapped an intestine around her neck in an obvious strangle.
Usagi covered her mouth to keep from gagging.
Schuldich smirked at her reaction.
"According to the police and the friends of the victim, she was just out on a leisurely stroll through the park at around 10:15 p.m. when she was killed".
"Why would they do such a thing?" Usagi murmured.
"This woman was a high ranking business woman; they were most likely assigned to kill her. This is not a rare occurrence. Assassins will do anything for money".
"Next one" Crawford announced.
"No! I don't want to see anymore" Usagi said turning her back to the projection. "I… I'll help you".
"I knew you would see our way soon enough." Crawford stated.
The lights came on and the projection was turned off.
Usagi turned back around, "But I just want to know one thing, why did you kidnap me, and aren't you assassins too; you kill as well" Usagi demanded.
"First of all the reason we kidnapped you is because we didn't know if you would come willingly, seeing how you obviously don't trust anything that comes out of my mouth…" Schuldich remarked.
Crawford interrupted, "We are different kind of assassin, and we are more body guards than anything. We protect Takatori Reiji. I'm not going to lie to you; we have killed before on rare occurrences. But only when someone tried to kill Takatori, we think of it as a sort of self defense."
"But you still kill people who have lives. They could have had families, children, friends…"
"Sometimes, in order to do what's right you have to kill what's wrong. If we hadn't killed them then either us or some other defenseless person would be dead", Schuldich explained.
"Weiss kill just for money. We kill for what we think is right".
Usagi stood silently contemplating.
"Ok, I'll do it". Usagi decided.
'Good choice' Schuldich voiced.
"Glad to be doing business with you Sailormoon." Crawford smiled.
Usagi smiled hesitantly. Something about the way he smiled made her uneasy. Maybe she shouldn't have decided to help them.
But it was too late now.
