Kai: Wow, I'm on a roll. I finished Chapter 2 on the bus this morning.

Nagi: I don't wanna know.

Kai: (Huggles Nagikins) But Nariel-chan and Avonnalay-Ariemay want to.

Nagi: (glares) Good for them.

Schuldig: (glomps Nariel) Fellow German!

Crawford: Schu, lay down before you hurt yourself and strangle Kai's reviewers.

Kai: (smacks Schu) Behave!

Farfarello: Kai-chan doesn't own Weiβ Kreuz, and if you don't review I'll be forced to make God cry with you.

Satoshi: You're creepy.

Kai: I own Schatten.

The afternoon and evening went on relatively uneventful at the Schwarz household. Nagi was sleeping off the effects of his telekinetic outburst, while Soji was content bugging the hell out of Schuldig because he wouldn't let her pester Nagi. The telepath, on the other hand, was silently wishing that Omi hadn't gone home so he could pass the young telekinetic off onto the kitten of Weiß. Crawford was indulging himself in a book, choosing to ignore the rest of the world and Farfarello was contently cutting himself with one of his knives.

"Schuldig, take that away from him before he gets blood all over the Persian rug," Crawford announced, not taking his eyes off his page in the book.

Schuldig looked up from where he was sitting on the couch, attempting to get Soji to settle down and go to sleep. "Give me a break, Crawfish," he growled while Soji fidgeted in his lap. "I'm already dealing with one munchkin."

"Farfarello, take it in the kitchen," Crawford commanded, giving a loud sigh. The Irishmen surprisingly got up and did as he was told, deciding that the bar was a better place to cut himself up.

"I want to see Nagi-kun," Soji whined, twirling Schuldig's hair

Schuldig sighed, deciding that maybe it would be better to give into the girl's demands. "If I let you go see Nagi, do you promise to go to bed afterwards?" he asked, eyeing Soji. "Your sister will kill me if I let you stay up all night."

Soji gave the telepath a sly grin as she nodded. "I promise!" she exclaimed, taking off down the hallway towards Nagi's room with Schuldig following close behind. The black-haired girl opened the door to find Nagi still sound asleep on his bed with the covers kicked off onto the floor. "You know you're going to get cold without your covers on, Nagi." Soji walked over to the bedside and picked up the covers before placing them back on the sleeping boy.

Schuldig smirked as he watched the scene from the doorway. "What would he do without you to keep him in line, Soji?" he inquired."Now go on, kiss him goodnight and all that fun stuff. I wanna go to bed."

Soji made a face, glancing back at Schuldig. "Eww, that's gross, Schu-kun!" she exclaimed, making sure the telepath wasn't looking. Soji kissed Nagi on his forehead before running out the door.

"I saw that, little katze," Schuldig remarked, tucking Soji into the mess of blankets he'd arranged on the floor of his bedroom.

"No, you didn't!"

Schuldig chuckled. "So I didn't see you do this?" he asked, kissing her on the forehead. "Or this?" He kissed her again on her cheek.

Soji laughed, playfully swatting at the telepath. "Attack of the killer, Schuldig!" she giggled, smiling.

"Go to sleep, Soji," Schuldig said, covering the girl up and moving to leave the room. "Sweet dreams, kiddo."

"Night-night," Soji murmured sleepily.

"You know, Brad, sometimes you'd never know she was 15," Schuldig remarked, plopping down in the chair next to the one the American was currently occupying. "Too bad Nagikins couldn't stay that innocent."

Crawford looked up from his book to stare at the telepath. "So you'd rather Nagi be an annoying little brat?" he inquired.

"On second thought, I like our goth wannabe, anti-social Nagikins."

"I thought so, Schuldig," Crawford replied, setting down his book. "In any case, I'm going to bed. Wake me before morning and I'll shoot you."

Schuldig gave the leader of Schwarz a mock salute as he walked down the hallway. "Whatever you say, Brad, whatever you say," he mocked, earning himself the middle finger from the American.

"Would you two stop making out for two seconds so we can kidnap the kid and get the hell out of here?" Jaz demanded, sitting on the highest branch while cutting up the tree.

"Yeah, you're funny, treekiller," Roz remarked, closing her eyes momentarily to make a mind sweep of the house. "It's time, Schwarz sleeps."

"Finally, about time we had some fun," Jaz grumbled, easily picking the lock on Nagi's window.

"No lighting ANYTHING on fire, Jaz," Edward warned as the three entered the room soundlessly and approached the sleeping assassin's bed.

"You said I could have fun on this mission, Edward," Jaz growled, flicking a small flame toward the said figure.

"Where the hell did he go?" Roz questioned, pulling back the rumpled sheets to find Nagi nowhere in sight.

"Thought you said he was snoozing, Roz?" Jaz mocked. "Or have you lost your touch?"

"I didn't lose my touch, you jackass. I just figured I'd fucked with his head enough to knock him out for the night," Roz growled, before lowering her voice. "Shut up, I think I hear him." The three murderers of Rosenkreuz barely had enough time to find hiding spots before the teen wandered into his room carrying a glass of water. Roz was the first one to pounce on Nagi, making him instinctively drop the glass to defend himself.

"Let go of me!" Nagi yelled, before Roz used her hand to gag the boy.

"Hush now. We wouldn't want to wake the rest of the house, now would we?" Roz cooed, running her free hand through Nagi's hair. "Did you think we had forgotten about you, precious Prodigy?" Nagi glared at the girl, biting down hard enough to draw blood. Roz let out a shriek as she pulled her hand away from the teen's mouth, pushing him away towards the broken glass.

Nagi cringed as he felt one of the bigger shards imbedded in his right foot. "I won't go back!" he shouted, trying to get off the floor, only to have Edward push him back against the wall. "I'll kill myself before I let you take me back to that hellhole!"

Edward gave the boy a sadistic smile, pulling a syringe out of his coat pocket. "Well, I can't have you doing that, Nagi," he replied, jabbing the needle into his neck. "Sweet dreams."

Nagi whimpered, feeling his body go limp. "You bastard!" he growled, making a last ditch effort to use his powers before his mind gave into the darkness and he fell into the abyss of unconsciousness.

"Well, that was easier than I thought it'd be," Jaz remarked, grinning while Edward wrapped the drugged boy with the green blanket off his bed.

"We're not out of the woods yet, pyro-boy, so watch your back," Roz noted, hearing the thoughts of confusion in the awakening minds of the rest of Schwarz. "Brace yourselves, I think we've got company."

"You've got company alright," a nasal voice announced, appearing just behind the girl, placing a gun to her head. "You didn't actually think we'd let you take him, did you?"

Roz smiled, turning around to face the other telepath. "I'd say we're doing quite a good job, don't you think, Schuldig?" she inquired sweetly, moving the gun he had trained on her out of her face. "Little boys shouldn't be playing with weapons like this, someone could get hurt."

Schuldig gave a snort. "Don't try me, bitch," he growled as Farfarello appeared out of the shadows along with Crawford.

"You won't take the Dark Child," Farfarello stated, raising his poniard walking towards the man who held Nagi.

Crawford smirked as the dim light from the hallway caught his glasses, giving him an eerie look. "Put him back on his bed and Farfarello might actually let you leave here with your lives," he mocked, taking aim with his own gun.

"You underestimate us, Crawford," Edward retorted, trailing his finger along Nagi's face. "Prodigy now belongs to us."

"Who do you think you are that you can just go and take what isn't yours?" Schuldig spat, getting into some heated hand-to-hand combat with Roz.

"We're the Lords and Lady of Rosenkreuz, and are to be treated as such," Jaz announced, a fireball growing in his hand.

"Like hell you…" Schuldig snapped, before being interrupted by Soji poking her head into Nagi's room. "Soji, go back to bed!"

Soji shook her head at Schuldig, taking in the sight before her: Farfarello stabbing Jaz to the wall, Crawford and Schuldig with their guns both trained on Roz with Edward holding onto an unconscious Nagi. "You can't take Nagi-kun! He doesn't wanna go with you!" The girl's eyes narrowed as the entire room began to shake; a few of Nagi's things fell off the shelf as Soji sent a telekinetic blast towards Nagi's captors.

/Oh shit, Brad, I can tell this is going to be a problem/ Schuldig shouted through the telepathic link. /They just had to go piss off Soji, didn't they?"

/I'm more worried that she's going to bring the whole place down/ Crawford replied/I leave you to take care of it, Farfarello and I will handle this Rosenkreuz scum./

Schuldig gave the Oracle an inward groan. /I fucking hate you, Bradley. I hope you know that/ he muttered, running over to where Soji was standing in Nagi's doorway.

/I know./

"Come on kiddo, you've gotta stop. It isn't going to help Nagi!" Schuldig screamed, making a grab for the assassin girl only to be blasted away by her power. "Soji!"

Soji's eyes glowed as she allowed the power to completely consume her. "No! Not until they let Nagi go!" she screamed, blasting them again. "He doesn't wanna go to the bad place, so leave him alone!"

Jaz smiled while he knocked Farfarello to the ground. "You're impressive, I'll give you that, but it isn't enough to stop us, kid!" he remarked, gathering up a large fireball and hurling it at the remaining Schwarz members. "Tootles!" And with that the three members of Rosenkreuz were off with Nagi, leaving Schwarz with a flaming apartment.
