Okay! I'm here for this certain short chapter...though, it'll give ya more clues than all the other chapters-so it's not so bad for a short one, eh?

Also, thanks to my fellow reviewers, LegendarySuperNamek, Silverquickstar, Sony Love, Tira-kun, Ordin Frostbane , and axel-you guys ROCK! XD Well, please read and review! (glares) Review, or else I'll demand a certain amount of reviews so you'll have to find people who will review! XP Hehehe. I'm getting evil, ain't I? Well, maybe Ash is rubbing off on me...O.o

Discaimer: I don't own any of the SNK characters...so, um yea...they belong to their prespective owners! XP

Chapter 19: Reconfirmations Pt 1...

"Why did you do that?" K' walked up to him.

"He needed to learn a lesson..." Kyo simply stated.

"You let him get away!" Whip joined K' in the argument.

"He needed to learn a lesson? How? By getting away from a crime he committed?" Ralf crossed his arms across his chest, Clark right beside him.

"Kyo, we know you're always the one to solve problems, but I think you should have re-thought your actions just then. Even if that man was once your friend, I doubt that you're getting him back." Clark stated.

"No, I'm not wrong about this. He'll see...he'll see that what he's doing for Ash is wrong." Kyo was even beginning to try to convince himself.

"Well, I sure hope you're right Kyo Kusanagi...because that was a very powerful object in that suitcase-it wasn't just money." Whip shook her head.

"What?" Kyo looked up in shock.

"Oh, now he knows it..." Whip threw down her Whip in frustration, it made a loud snapping noise.

"That's why people like you shouldn't keep things secret that only people like Ash will know, and try to steal it." K' headed out, along with Maxima and Kula. "And that door..." K' shook his head. "Next time, try to make it more secure." He walked away. The rest listened to their foot steps.

"You know, K's got a point..." Clark mumbled.

"Okay, we got the point. Anyone could have broken it down. But now what are we going to do?" Whip asked, turning to Kyo.

"I don't know..."

"Well, you should know. You let that 'friend' of yours get away with it."

"What exactly is 'it', anyway?" Kyo turned to her.

"To tell you the truth, even I don't know. The commander never told us. We know that it's something from the NESTS. See? Even K' didn't know anything about it. He didn't want us to know the rest of it."

"Great...now we don't even know what that son of a bitch is going to do." Ralf threw his hands up in frustration.

"Excuse me?" Whip turned to Ralf.

"Well, I thought for sure you knew." Ralf responded. Clark nodded. Kyo began to walk away.

"Where are you going?" Whip demanded.

"To go look for him..."

"You can't do that by yourself!" Whip shouted as Kyo walked further away.

"Watch me!" Kyo shouted back without turning to look at them. "Just watch me...I'll kill that bastard..."

XDXDXD

Benimaru's POV

I awake to more darkness...it's still night. My whole body seems to hurt, and what's worse is that my head is the one I can only recognize that hurts me the most.

"...You're awake." A sudden voice murmured. I open my eyes quickly, and look around me.

"Ash!" That bastard...I groan, holding my head with my good arm. The other arm hurts to even move it.

"You did a good job, Benimaru-kun...I got what I wanted...hmph...it seems that the world doesn't know what a 'good' fellow French man can do these days..." He trails off. I can hear a smirk in his voice.

"I killed her...I didn't want to...but somehow, I did..." I remember the blood, the look on the woman's face.

"You killed her because you wanted to. You did your job." Ash smirks.

"No, I didn't." I reply. Did I? Did I really want to do it? Is she dead? She has to be...

"I've got news for you...she's halfway dead. In a coma." Ash grunted slightly, then sighed.

"What's the difference...I shot her." I mumble.

"Well...I better get back to my room...I have important things to plan for later on, Beni-kun." He walks out of the room while I just lay here, alone to my thoughts. Kyo...why did he help me get away? That's what I'm still trying to figure out...after all I did to him...I'll have a long time to plan for this...just while I'm in bed. After I heal, I know I'll have to make the most important decision...of what's to come.

XDXDXD

Ash's POV

Today's the day...I'll finally expose to the world what I can really do. Well, not all of what I am bound to do later on. Benimaru looks about healed, though he did get some nasty scars. I shudder. Kami, I hope I don't get shot...not anytime soon, anyway.

I look at him sitting on the couch, thinking in almost a pensive thought. Of course, he probably still has nothing to think about. I wonder if he'll ever find out...about what I did. I smirk grimly. Ah, yes. I almost forgot about that incident. This was even before he had lost his memories. Though, right now is not the right time to think about it, rather, about what I'm going to do in these last few hours. Succeeding is certainly one of them...mais...I feel something is going to go wrong. I push away those gut-feelings, and set aside a plan.

To be continued...

Translations:

Mais: But

XDXDXD

Hahaha, well now I'll be like those annoying anime shows that leave the 'to be continued' thing at the end.

I know, I know. It's freakin' short. Though, I just HAD to put something. Whatever happened to my weekly update, I dunno, I'm still trying to sort this out. Anyway, I hope you review...even if this IS kinda short...what am I saying...not kinda, but like, really short. Meh, I hope you review, anyway. Later peace! XD
