A/N: Well, it's kind of the same day…I mean it's still today for and hour and a half! Anyway, I forgot to tell you, but try and guess what movie Omi gave Raenef. I haven't decided what I'm going to do for the first one to guess right, but I'll start giving serious hints around chapter 11. And don't just give me the name of the series. Try and guess the name of the exact movie. I promise it won't be too hard. Other than that, I'm glad you like chapter 8. And in case any of you have forgotten I don't own demon diary of weiss, though it hurts to admit it. By the way. I'm calling the store that Rae stole from 'Goth Galore'. I don't know if there is such a store, but I couldn't think of anything else to call it, so if there is a store I'm only borrowing the name so please don't sue for my ignorance about such store. sniff On with the story!

Chapter 9: Complications of the Argumentative Kind

"As in I want answers before yesterday."
Raenef looked sheepishly at the taller man. "What if I said I didn't do it?"
"Bullshit!" Aya snarled.
"Do what?" Yoji asked confused. "What exactly is going on?"
Ken looked nervously between the other two assassins. For a moment he was quiet, but then he answered the question. "He killed the manager of a 'Goth Galore' because the man tried to stop him from stealing some stuff."
He was interrupted by a loud gasp from the guilty party. "You mean that stuff was stolen?" Raenef cried. "I knew that someone was killed, but I didn't know that stuff was stolen." Then he started sobbing.
The three assassins stared in disbelief at the distraught teen. "Did he just say what I think he just said?" Yoji asked rhetorically.
"Raenef!" Aya demanded sharply. "How can you not know when your stealing something?"
"But I wasn't in control of the body at the time." He replied in a pitiful attempt to defend himself, still crying loudly.
"The-devil-made-me-do-it doesn't get you off the hook for murder."
"But it's t-true!"
"There is no such thing as demons, monsters, the devil, or anything else like that!" Aya yelled frustrated. For a moment every one was quiet. It was unusual for the redhead to raise his voice, let alone yell at someone. In fact, this was only the second time they had ever heard him do so. Yoji and Ken quickly looked over at Raenef to see how he would react.
At first it looked like the teen had stopped crying. Then the small blonde's azure eyes grew large, and slightly more teary. He sniffled, once. Then twice. "I DON'T EXIST!" He wailed in obvious despair.
"Good going." Ken muttered. "Now how're we going to get any answers out of him?"
Yoji and Aya just stared. Raenef continued to bawl uncontrollably for several minutes. Finally Yoji grabbed Raenef by the shoulders and shook him. "Snap out of it kid! No one said anything like that. All he said was the-devil-made-me-do-it isn't a valid excuse. We need to know the truth. Can you please tell us what happened in the store?"
Raenef sniffled a few more times. Finally he took a deep breath and looked Yoji in the eye. Slowly his demeanor changed. "That's strike one. You made Rae cry." He sneered at the tall redhead who had upset him, then sighed as though annoyed. "If we tell you what happened will you stop pestering us?" He looked at Aya with what could almost be called a glare. Aya glared right back. "Fine then. We saw what we wanted in the shop. Since we all wanted it, and Tomato Boy had been out all day, Father said it was my turn to acquire that which we desired. That fool got in our way, so he was dealt with accordingly. Besides, it's been a long time since we killed someone. That is what we were created for."
"Created to kill?" Ken asked stunned.
"Yes. I became aware the day Eclipse met Raenef, though they didn't know about me until Gavanis set me free. I was the one who killed the guards for hurting us."
Suddenly something dawned on the soccer player. "We…" he muttered. Then he looked up sharply at Raenef. "How many people in existence are named Raenef?"
"How's he supposed to know something like that?" Yoji rolled his eyes. "There could be a mill-"
"Three." Raenef said, stunning the other blonde into silence.
"Where are they and where do they come from?" Ken asked intently.
Raenef glared at him. "I'm not at liberty to discuss that information."
"Then tell us what you can." Yoji all but yelled in exasperation.
"Fine. The. Devil. Made. Me. Do. It." Raenef said condescendingly.
"Upstairs. Now." Aya growled at the rebellious teen. "I don't want to see your face until dinner."
"You think you can tell me what to do? How dare you, you lowly cretin!" Raenef snarled angrily. "Not even the great ones dare to do that."
Suddenly the crack of Aya's palm hitting Raenef's cheek resounded throughout the flower shop. Momoe glanced up from her chair and clucked disapprovingly. "Get out of my sight. Now!"
Raenef's eyes flashed angrily. "You will pay for striking me!"
"Call someone who cares!"
Cha-ching! Cha-ching! The two adversaries looked up to see a Catholic priest walk in. Raenef hissed as his gaze fell on the crucifix around the priest's neck. "Damn you and the creature you serve!" He yelled, shaking a fist at the shocked man. Then the angry blonde stormed upstairs. Moments later they heard the door to Omi's room slam.
"I'm someone that cares…" a sweet voice echoed down.
"Shut-up you twit!" The angry voice yelled. "He had the gall to hit us!"
"Quiet." Said a third voice with that commanded obedience. "Remember child, revenge is a dish best served cold, and a masterpiece takes time."
The three assassins stood, staring up at the ceiling, until the priest cleared his throat nervously. "I think I may be in the wrong shop."
"You're from St. Peter's?" Ken asked him.
"Yes. I-Is this the Koneko?" He asked, looking for all the world like he hoped they would say 'no.'
"Yeah." Answered the soccer player. The priest's face dropped. "We've got your Easter arrangements all ready. Did you want one of us to go with you to help decorate?" He smiled.
"T-That won't be necessary." The cleric replied with a shaky smile.
"Alright. I'll go get the flowers."
"I'm downstairs." Aya growled, shooting a glare at he stairs leading to the second floor.
"Whatever." Yoji said, going towards the back of the shop.
The priest watched them disappear, but quickly Ken returned with a cart full of flowers. "Here they are."
"I know it's none of my business, but what was all that about?" Asked the priest cautiously.
"Oh, that was Raenef. He's Yoji's brother, but he has amnesia from a car accident."
"I'm sorry."
"Don't be. Usually he's a lot of fun. It's just every now and then that he gets like that. Personally I think he's possessed or something."
"Oh."
The two watched as Yoji came back to the front with a hose and started watering the plants. "You know," the priest said as Ken started to cash him out, "I know someone who's great with exorcisms."

Later that afternoon, Raenef slowly stuck his head out the door. "Is it dinner yet?" He asked the empty hallway hopefully.
"Not yet." Ken said, coming up the stairs. Then he looked at Raenef as if about to ask a question.
"Yes?"
"How many people are wandering around inside that head of yours?"
Raenef blinked, startled by the question. "Three. I'm the first, then the mean one came to help when I was upset. Then Father came when the mean one took control and wouldn't let me out."
"So you do have multiple personalities."
"What's that?"
"Nevermind."
"When can I come out?"
Ken looked at the big blue puppy eyes. "Look, if you promise not to go evil until we find that Eclipse guy you're always talking about, I'll talk to Aya for you."
"But he was doing what they told us we're supposed to do." Raenef said confused.
"What who tells you."
"Eclipse and the other. They say it's my job to kill and hurt others. Eclipse doesn't say it as much as the great ones do, but he is proud when I do something to make others cry. Come to think of it he doesn't like the mean one that much either."
Ken narrowed his eyes, frowning slightly. "How long have they been doing this?"
"Since Eclipse found me."
"Tell you what. If you promise not to keep stuff like that a secret, and to tell us before you hurt anyone, I'll tell Omi you're up here so he can give you the movie he promised you last night. Deal?"
Rae smiled brightly. "Deal. But what if the mean one does something without telling me?"
"Well, make sure he doesn't."
"But he's stronger than me. And he's only happy when he gets to hurt things. "
"So what? Your alter ego is the devil incarnate?"
Raenef smiled. "Yup! Both of them!"
Ken blinked, then sighed. "Maybe I should tell Yoji to get in touch with that priest." He mumbled.
"Why?"
"Forget it."
"Will you still tell Omi where I am?"
"Yeah, but you have to do me a favor."
"Anything!" Raenef beamed.
"Try not to piss Aya off to often. He's impossible to deal with when he's mad."
"'Kay!"

Omi sighed as he walked up to the Koneko. He hadn't expected to pay so little for Raenef's movie. So he had bought him a second one and something else called 'King of Dreams.' He had never seen it himself, but it was by a similar producer, so he figured the younger teen would like it. Smiling to himself he entered the flower shop.
"Is Raenef in the back again?" he asked the first person he saw.
"No." Ken answered him. "Aya was in a bad mood, so he's in your room watching your Fruits Basket anime on your laptop. Don't worry. I told him not to touch any buttons and I check on him every hour to see where he's at in the movie."
"Oh." Omi frowned. He didn't like the idea of Ken messing with his computer, but figured the jock was probably more computer literate than Rae. So, shrugging, he went to go give the bubbly blonde his new movies.
"Omi," Ken called as he started to move away.
"Yeah?"
"I need to talk to you as soon as you're done with that."
"Alright."
Omi easily heard the noise from the anime when he reached the top of the stairs. Stopping just outside his door, he paused to find out which episode Raenef was watching.

"You may have won this time Sohma but I will be back!"
"So who were those people anyway?"

Omi smiled shaking his head as he entered the room. "Is it dinner yet?" The teen asked without looking away from the screen.
"Not yet."
"Omi!" he yelled, getting up and pouncing on the other teen. "Yay! You're home! Did you get it?"
"Yes." Omi said, taking the movies out of their bag. "Do you want me to put them on or do you want to finish this?"
"I want to see Mr. Tomato!"
"Alright." The computer wiz walked over to his laptop and pushed the eject button on the DVD-ROM drive. "So, what did you do today?" he asked as he switched out the movies.
"Have you talked to Ken yet?" Raenef asked nervously.
"No."
"Maybe you should talk to him first. I think I did something bad. But I didn't know it was bad, and now Aya's hates me because he was mean."
Omi glanced at Raenef before clicking play. "Don't worry. Aya gets angry easily. It doesn't mean he hates you. And Ken always yells at Aya. I'm sure Aya doesn't blame you for it. But I'll talk to them. So you can forget it ever happened."
"Thank you." The smaller blonde was quiet for a minute. Then he looked over at his friend with a puzzled look on his face. "Omi?"
"Yes?"
"How did Hatsuharu prove it was his natural hair?"
Shaking his head, Omi returned downstairs to where Ken was working in the shop. Grabbing his apron he moved to the register to clock in.
"Don't clock in yet." Ken said, stopping him.
"Alright. What was it you needed to talk to me about?"
Ken sighed. "Not out here." Then he grabbed Omi's hand and dragged him into the basement.

A/N: Well, I'm only 44 minutes behind my 'deadline.' Sorry, but I tried to do two in one day. Oh well. Maybe next time. I hope you enjoyed it. Please review, and try to guess what movie Omi gave Raenef. I need the exact title, not just the series. ;P
