A/N: Hey! Sorry it's been so long since I've posted anything, but I was in a car wreck and my writing hand is still in a cast. Sheeesh! You wouldn't believe how annoying it is! Anyway, here's the next chapter. I hope you enjoy it.

Chapter 10: Complications of the Dangerous Kind

Aya Yoji and Manx stood at the bottom of the basement stairs, arguing over Raenef's immediate future. "Manx, I want him gone! If he's not gone by the end of the week I'm going to kill him!" The redhead hissed.
"What did he do?" she asked stunned. She'd only ever seen Aya this mad when the name Takatori was involved.
Before the enraged assassin could reply the basement door opened. Silence reigned until it clicked closed again. Then they heard a key turn in the latch. "How much did Raenef tell you about this morning?" Ken's voice came down from the top of the stairs.
"Just that he thought he might have done something wrong and that Aya was mad." Omi's light tenor answered him. "Why? What happened?"
"Omi, I think Raenef's like you."
"What do you mean?"
"This morning Raenef killed the manager of Goth Galore. The way he did it there's no way they can prove it, but it's awfully suspicious. And that's not all. I talked to him a little while ago. From the way he acted I think someone's been training him like you were trained. He's being raised to be an assassin."
"What do you mean he killed someone?" Omi squeaked.
"I mean that he murdered a man in cold blood and expected praise for it. When we got him home Aya confronted him. The two got in a fight and the next thing I know Aya's pissed as hell and the kid is threatening him."
"He threatened you?" Manx asked the fiery assassin, startling Ken and Omi.
"Manx! I-I didn't see you there." The soccer player stammered.
"Never mind that." She said frowning angrily. "What happened next?"
"Well, the priest from St. Peter's came by. Raenef got even madder, yelled something at the priest and stormed off to Omi's room. He's been there ever since."
"What did he yell at the priest?"
Yoji looked at her and began to snicker, knowing she would take it personally. "Damn you and the creature you serve!"
"Excuse me." Manx said, her eyes flashing in anger. "Would you care to repeat that?"
"Sure. The kid said 'Damn you and the creature you serve!'"
Manx glared at the cocky blonde before turning to look at the other three. "Have any of you spoken to him since?"
"Yes." Ken and Omi answered together.
"You first Omi. How'd he act?"
"Well, he seemed confused. And he did say he did something bad that he didn't know was bad."
"I see. Ken what did you two talk about?"
"You won't believe me."
"Try me."
"Alright. He told me that ever since 'Eclipse' found him they've been telling him it's good to kill and that it's his job to make people hurt. He also told me point blank that he has three personalities. There's his visual one, the sweet innocent one you see first. Then there's his mean one, T think that's the 'other me.' That's the one that threatened Aya and killed the manager. Then there's the third one. I've only 'seen' him twice." Ken paused as though lost in thought. It was several minutes before he went on, though this time talking to himself. "The former me. Yeah, that would make sense, because it's a controlling and calming person." Suddenly he looked up at the other four people occupying the room. "We've known about this from the beginning."
"We have?" Yoji asked stupefied.
"Yeah. He told us that night in the park. With the riddle."
Manx frowned. "If you're right about he being trained as an assassin then I'd believe it. It's one of the things we had to be careful to guard against with you Omi. If you aren't protected from the crimes you commit, most times a person will create alternate personalities to cope with it. It's one of the reasons Kritiker uses groups rather than single assassins. Can you prove any of your theories about the kid?" She asked.
"I don't know. Maybe."
"How?"
"Ask him?" Ken answered shrugging.
"Alright, here's what you'll do. Omi, you're going to go, and ask him about all of this. You'll be wired so we'll hear everything you hear. We'll use the surveillance camera in that room too, so we'll be able to see every thing that happens."
"Are you sure you want to do that?" Yoji said, thinking back to the night before. "I mean if Ken is really right about this, then maybe me or Aya should go?"
"No." Manx said, dismissing his idea. "He doesn't trust you, and he's already threatened Aya. I refuse to give him a chance to take pot shots at one of Kritiker's best operatives. Omi is going in."

Several minutes later, Omi stood at the door of his room listening to the Veggie Tales theme song blasting from his laptop's speakers. "And Ken's convinced he's a threat to us." Omi sighed softly, rolling his eyes.
Raenef looked over his shoulder. "Omi!" he squeaked. "A-Are you mad at me for what happened?"
Omi looked at the smaller blonde. "Is it true?"
"Is what true?"
"Do you have split personalities?"
Raenef blinked. For a moment he looked like he was about to reply. Then a look of confusion covered his face. "I can't hear anything."
"What are you talking about?"
"Y-You…you killed them?" Raenef whimpered with tear-filled eyes.
"What are you talking about?"
"The others! I can't hear them! You killed them!" he wailed.
"Do you want some tomatoes?" Omi asked quickly, remembering their calming effect from the night before. "I'll go get you some." Then he ran from the room.
Raenef stared at the door that had slammed behind Omi. "Well, that was easy." Then he turned and looked at the room's hidden surveillance camera. "You fools have no idea what you're dealing with." He sneered, glaring evilly at the camera. "But keep and eye out." He continued smirking. "I hear the disappearing act is becoming quiet popular."

"What the hell was that?" Omi demanded when he got back to the basement.
"That's what we all want to know." Ken answered him.
Omi looked at the others. "What happened?" He asked the others carefully.
"You don't want to know." Yoji told him.
"Tell me anyway." Manx looked at him, and then rolled the surveillance tape.
/Raenef turned from the door to look directly at the camera. "You fools have no idea what you're dealing with." As he spoke, a tall, darker figure began to shimmer beside him. It wore a long cloak, and it's large hat hid most of it's face, but long dark hair flowed elegantly to it's shoulder blades. "But keep an eye out." A second figure appeared on his other side. The one was identical to the boy glaring at the camera, but it wore completely different clothing. He wore elegant white robes that looked like they belonged on a fairy tale prince, and an easy smile graced his open and friendly face. "I hear the disappearing act is becoming popular." The two specters disappeared. Then the picture was consumed with static.\\
"We haven't been able to get anything from that camera." Yoji informed him. "It's completely dead."
Omi's face was pale. "You right. I didn't want to know."

Takatori sat at his desk watching a tape of a news report. Behind him, Crawford stood. When the report was over, the politician rewound it and watched it again. After the fifth time, the screen flicked off. "Crawford." He said, turning his chair to face the tall American.
"I know sir. We'll take care of it."
"Thank you."

Crawford walked into the safe house he had created for Schwartz. Sighing aggrivatedly he made his way to Prodigy's chamber. Opening the door he glared at the emotionless teen. "Did you do as I asked?" He growled.
"Yes Oracle. The information about the incident in Otagawa is here." Nagi said softly, handing the older man several documents. "I also thought that you might find it interesting that Wiess was there just hours before with a strange boy I've never seen before. The parks security cameras were quite informative."
"What were they doing there?"
"It looked like they were debugging him, but I couldn't be sure. The cameras didn't provide sound."
"Interesting. And the gemstones found in the park?"
Prodigy looked away from the computer screen. "They weren't there when Weiss arrived."
"Did the assassins leave them?"
"I'm not sure. They showed up on the camera exactly ten minutes after Wiess leaves. No one brings them, they just appear."
"Interesting." Crawford said again. The man began to leaf though the papers the ten had given him.
"Oracle."
"Yes." He said not looking up.
"There's something else."
"What?"
"The kid Wiess 'adopted', I think he might be a psychic."
Crawford looked up from the report. "What?"
"On the cameras, if you pay attention you can see him teleporting in the background."
"So Wiess has a new pet psychic? That may make future… entanglements, problematic."
"Also, you'll see in the report that the Koneko has an unlimited supply of baubles that look like those they found in the park."
Crawford's eyes narrowed. "When did they start selling them?"
"The afternoon of the day the first ones were found."
"I think we need to pay Wiess a visit."
"Sir, shall I call the other two?"
"Yes, We'll need them for this."
Nagi got up from his chair and moved to his door." Shall we wait for you before getting Beserker?"
"Yes, He's having one of his bad days."
"Sir." Nagi said, then he left, closing the door behind him with his telekinesis.
Crawford watched the door close. Then he closed his eyes. Opening them he sat in the chair in front of the computer desk. Placing is elbows on the armrests, he leaned forward and steepled his fingers. Slowly he cleared his mind and focused on what Nagi had told him about Wiess' new pet stray. Son he was wrapped up in his vision.
/A young blonde teen was in the back of the Koneko, bouncing on a trampoline. He was singing the theme song to a children's show. Then, Siberian came out and looked at the youth. "Raenef, you need to come in for lunch."
"Don't want to."
Siberian sighed, "If I give you some bubbles will you go inside?"
"Bubbles?" Raenef asked. He stopped bouncing and walked toward the brunette. "Anything for more bubbles!" The soccer player handed him a small bottle of bubbles. Unscrewing the cap, he pulled out the small wand and blew. Bubbles filled the air around the boy. He watched as the colored spheres floated to the ground.
"CRYSTALIZE!" the teen shouted. The bubbles began to glow faintly. When they landed, they had changed into the gemstones that had littered Otagawa Park.\\\
/A tall man stood before a young blonde woman in her late twenties or early thirties. "Lady Leeche," the man said. "Your husband has killed someone."
"I know." She cried.
"You need to get Raenef VI to the Eastern Temple. The child will be safe there, and the High Priest owes us a favor of some magnitude. Then you need to come with me. If we don't find him soon… thew others could gain control of him."
"But what can I do?"
"Raenef the V loves you more than anything else in this world, or any other. If anyone will be able to stop him from destroying himself and everyone else with him, it's you my lady." \\\
/The blonde child stood in front of the men of Wiess. In front of him, the tall man from the second vision held his hand out. With burning red eyes, the man glared at a stranger who held a gun to the head of the blonde woman. "You have dared to threaten my masters favored concubine." The dark man hissed. "Now you will die."
"Stand down Eclipse!" The blonde behind him declared authoritivly, his face as cold as stone, his eyes burning with rage. "Father entrusted Lady Leeche to my care! This creature is all mine!" The boy's face became a mask of rage as he looked at the man threatening the woman. A smile slid across his lips and his eyes danced with evil as he locked eyes with the man. "Now, you die."
The child sent the man a glare so filled with hate and malice it made Aya's 'Shi-ne' glare look like a smile. The man with the gun screamed once. Then he exploded into a bloody mess.\\\
Crawford slumped back into Nagi's chair. "So, that child is a psychic as Prodigy suspected." He said to himself. "I'm afraid, my dear Takatori, that this has just gone beyond you."
Just then the door opened and the Japanese teen entered followed closely by the German. "Well, what going on?" the redheaded telepath asked rudely. "You look like you've just had a vision."
"I have. Mastermind, I need you to contact Esset. A new psychic is in town and he has some very powerful connections."
"What?"
"You heard me."
"So what does this have to do with Schwartz?"
"We've just been ordered to kidnap the child for Mr. Takatori."

A/N: Well, there it is. It's taken forever for me to type this up. You have no idea how hard it is to type with your bad hand. Ugh! Anyway, I know Rae said something different to change the bubbles, but that was on purpose, and yes I know that none of them have red eyes. I just thought it would be cool if their eyes turned red when they got mad. Other than that I think everything was good. Please review and be kind. I'm sure there are spelling mistakes, because I'm tiered and can't use my right arm, so please bare with me and be forgiving! Till next time!
