"Ri-chan~!"

Riku and Len looked up from the Algebra book they were looking at when they heard Rin call, or more like squeal, her name. She turned around to be smothered by a pair of very big boobs. These weren't Meiko's, though. They were Luka's.

Luka was older and a Red Twilight member from another town, but she was very smart and Raiden trusted her to come to the heart of the Organization. Luka was very pretty and smart, she had really long pink hair and green eyes. She liked to eat seafood and she was 'bi-lingual', Len explained later in that first day that meant she could speak two languages. She was sometimes very nice, but sometimes she's very defensive about certian stuff.

And, sometimes the perverts in Mamoru and Kaito would show and they would verbally compete to see who's boobs were bigger, Meiko's or Luka's. Sometimes they would talk about it like the people would in talkshows on the t.v, sometimes they would try to convince them to let either one of them measure their boobs, which ended up in either a yellign by Raiden or a beating by the two equally scary girls.

It was their favorite pastime, and every time they fought over it Len or Rin covered Riku's ears.

Len watched as Riku dropped her book and flailed her arms, trying to get some air. But Rin joined in with the hug and thus trapping her. Luka looked down at her and laughed, letting go.

Riku flopped back onto her chair, clutching onto the front of her shirt and gasping for breath as Rin startedd to laugh her little butt off. Gakupo and Kaito walked in with plates of mid-afternoon snacks, making Miku squeal and almost tackle the blue-haired ice cream lover.

Gakupo came along with Luka, and was about the same age as her, too. He had really long but strange purple hair and eyes, and he talked very formally sometimes. He reminded Riku of a Edo period Samurai, not only because his long hair was up like them, but because he always carried a wooden sword and it was his weapon of choice. He was weird in some way or another, too.

"Leader-sama said I was in charge of you while he goes out tonight!" Rin squealed happily, making Len sigh and Riku laugh.

Riku was now on the floor next to Len's feet, clutching to his black dress pants. They've been inseparable ever since the tearful reunion between the two. Len went to less missions alone, and he soon recovered from his depression. Sure, the two got into a little trouble because Len disobeyed Raiden, but Riku was as bright as the early morning when they were together.

Zumi told Gakupo and Luka, the two started to get all gushy-gushy and lovey-dovey about it. They said it was like they were just like a younger Romeo and Juliet. When Riku and Len heard this little suggestion, it was the funniest sight ever. They both blushed and Len protested with Riku nodded with agreement with him. It was the most embarassing thing Riku had ever experienced in her intire life.

"Where's Onii-sama going, anyway?" Riku asked, confused. She hadn't seen Raiden since two days ago, when she was picking roses outside and happened to catch a glimps of him closing his curtains.

"It's the day of the Velvet Moon." Zumi said, looking at Meiko and Luka. They looked worried about something, but still tried to hide it even though it was clearly visible. "He's packing up for the night trip."

"Oh, yeah!" Riku said, looking at Rin as she sat next to her and then back up at the older girls. "Onii-sama always goes away on the night of the Velvet Moon. Why does he go out on that moon, anyway? I know it's special and all, but where does he go? No one's ever told me."

Now Len and even slouching and non-caring Mamoru looked worried, and that shocked and worried the young girl. They weren't telling her something very important, maybe it was because it had nothing to do with or is of a concern to her…?

"Anyway, I need to tell you something, Ri-chan!" Rin said, smiling and trying to lighten up the mood. She clutched onto Riku's hands and pulled her up to her feet. "I'm soooo happy! I gotta boyfriend! Can you believe it!?"

"A BOYFRIEND?!" The girls and Len yelled in unison.

Riku was the only one who wasn't shocked, but instead she smiled and joined Rin with the hopping and giggling hysterically. Riku hugged Rin and smiled happily. "I'm so glad for you!"

"Who the hell is it?!" Len asked, so shocked he almost fell back into the chair when he tried to get up. "How come you didn't tell me!?"

"Because I knew you would act like this. And I was just kidding!" Rin said, hugging Riku's head and sticking her tongue out at Len. Riku got squished into Rin's chest and could barely hear her as she said, "Calm down, sheeeesh! You guys are acting like I said I was engaged to the Alien prince or somthing! And Len-chan, your acting like I revealed a fact, like Ri-chan might be sneaking out of the house and had gotten her first kiss stolen by Hisoka-chan from school!"

"Who's Hisoka?" Riku asked as she looked over the corner of her eye to see Len blushing and ready to cuss Rin out.

Kaito put him in a arm-lock as Gakupo covered his mouth. Riku leaned out of Rin's grip and saw that Miku and Zumi were laughing so hard they clutched onto each other and fell to the floor and Meiko and Luka were smiling to themselves.

Riku giggled to herself and then stopped when she saw her brother come in and flop onto his untouched red grandfather chair. He looked worried, just like the kind of worry Luka had on her face the time before. Everyone calmed down and looked at Raiden as he raised a hand and beckoned Riku over with his finger.

The blonde-haired girl slipped out of Rin's grip and trotted over to her brothers' side, sitting on her knees. Raiden sighed to himself and ran his hands through Riku's long hair, closing his eyes. He was so stressed out now.

"Riku," He said, making her open her eyes again and avert her yellow eyes up to him. He still had his eyes closed and just came out with it. "Your coming with me tonight."

"What?!" Len asked, going to his feet. Riku looked away from her brother and to her friends/family. Miku and Zumi still were clutched onto each other, Zumi had a look shock exactly like Len's and Miku was clueless along with Rin. Luka dropped the cookie she was nibbling and Gakupo, being the little neat-freak he was, caught it before it hit the floor. Meiko had her hands covering her mouth.

"Leader-sama, you can't do that!" Luka said, her voice raising with every word she spoke. "She's too young to-"

"She was born to be one, so she shall be one." Raiden growled his eyes shut tightly.

"But-"

"My word is final." Raiden said, opening his eyes. They were glowing red now, and it looked very scary. Luka took a step back in surprise and then sighed, nodding in agreeement. Raiden closed his eyes again. "Unless one of you want to take her place, she will do it."

Just seeing them all depressed made Riku want to fear for her life. What was her brother going to do to her?

-:-

Len hadn't let go of Riku's hand since they got ready to go that night and didn't say anything to her. They were in the back of the car that Luka was driving, Gakupo in the passenger seat. Kaito, Raiden, Lim, and Mamoru were in the car in front of them. Everyone in the car was very quiet, which made Riku scared again.

They were in the forest area again, not in the town they were driving through a second ago. It was dark, and the moon was still a glowing blue. It would be a matter of time before it turned red.

The car stopped in front of a worn-down mansion, it was bigger than the one they all lived in. Some of the walls were crumbling and the walls that were still standing were covered in moss and vines, and flowers surrounded the ground and roof. It would've been pretty if the moon didn't make it look creepy.

Kaito opened Riku's door and grabbed her free hand, pulling her out of Len's grip and towards the house. She looked over her shoulder to see Luka waving her finger at Len and telling his something that made him scowl and look to the ground.

Mamoru grabbed Riku's other arm and lead her to the beat-down place, where her brother was waiting on the front porch. She wanted to go back home, she didn't' want to go into the house at all. But when Raiden took her hand she knew she couldn't go back to the car with Len and rant on how scared she was.

Raiden held her hand as they walked under the roof of the decaying house; patches of the roof weren't even there! She looked up to Raiden to see him with a composed face.

Soon they walked through a door and came into what looked like was the remains of a study. Books were scattered all across the floor, most of the roof was gone and one wall was partly crumbled, and so was half of the fireplace. Above the mantle was a portrait, or what was left of it. There were holes all over it, corners apparently shot off from some kind of gunfire.

"Stay here."

Riku looked back up to Raiden as he let go of her hand, and pushed her away. She squeaked as she tripped and winced as she fell on her butt, watching with wide eyes. Raiden turned away and walked back out the door, closing it behind him.

"O-Onii-sama!" Riku called, but she knew Raiden wasn't going to open the door.

She leaned and got up on her feet, dusting off her butt and looking around the room, trying to find a safe way out. She might as well obey her brother and stay here. She picked up the book she fell on and sat on the floor again, the book between her legs. It looked interesting, but weird. The pages didn't make any sense because she couldn't read the language. But she could read that one page.

There was once a time where certain children were blessed with different kind of powers.

Most who were born with this power was girls, and most were born into this one unlucky clan. So they would be used for killings. They gain their fullest power from the rare Velvet Moon, and they under go little changes to show what they were. They were called Fire Flowers…

"Fire Flower…Why does that sound so familiar?" Riku pondered before looking back down at the note.

Many said that becoming a Fire Flower was with the genes passed down. Some said that it was the sharing of blood. No one has ever found out……

The Fire Flowers hated their abnormal power from the Velvet Moon, which comes once every two to three years. They would hide themselves in a confined place and hide from the moons gaze until the sun came up again.

Dangerous people soon found out about these special children. So, a rival group came and killed off the Fire Flowers, one after another in one secret massacre. They even murdered the last known Fire Flower, a Mother of two. The two children were total opposites, the youngest the most abnormal. They to be found and killed together, but one, the oldest, was gone. So, the rival clan head took the youngest, a young girl, and no one had found her since.

They still say that her brother is looking for her. He wants to know who's the Fire Flower, him or her.

So, whoever is the next in line to be a Fire Flower, heed this little warning. Don't look at the-

And the rest was ripped off.

"Oh my!" Riku said, looking over the note again. She pushed herself off the wall and walked towards the door, her head still down so she could read over the letter again. "Who would do such a th- Whoa! Oww!!!"

She tripped over a stack of books and fell flat on her face, the letter floating in the air and softly landing on the back of her head. Her little moan of pain echoed throughout the room, out the open roof and to the forest, and she knew her assassin family could hear her. She blushed at her own clumsiness and sat up, rubbing her forehead tenderly. She looked down at her fingers and saw red.

"I'm-"

"Ri-chan!" Riku looked up to see Len jump over the high wall and run to her, easily ignoring the books scattered across the floor. She huffed, why couldn't be as balanced and stable as Len!? He knelt down beside her and looked her over. "I heard you, you sounded surprised! Are you alright- Your bleeding!"

"Yeah, I know! Calm down." Riku said, seeing that Len was frantically looking around to stop it. "It's just a scratch! Kiss it and make it better, Len!"

Len looked down at her and smiled and her childish innocence. She actually still believed that kissing a wound would heal anything? He leaned down and kissed the slightly bleeding cut, and Riku just waited until he pulled away.

"There, all better." Len said, with a laugh.

"What are you laughing at?!" Riku asked, blushing and ready to hit Len. But something stopped her hand in mid air.

Everything around them turned blood red, and they both looked up at the sky above. The Moon had finally turned red, and this was the first time Riku had seen it. They both stared at it, both of their arms going limp beside them and their heads looking down, making a shadow cover their eyes.

After a second they slowly looked at each other, smirking at the person they've known and stayed with almost all their life, smirking back at them…

And lunged to their best friend.

-:-

"Leader-sama! Leader-sama! Len's gone!" Luka said, panic filling her throat to the brim. She was shaking, she didn't want the two to get hurt. "He went to be with her! And it's the Velvet moon! You need to get him out of there!"

"Shit!" Raiden growled under his breath, Kaito and Mamoru running up to the house as Lim got out of the car in a hurry.

Raiden kicked open the door and they all walked into the decaying mansion. The two could be anywhere by now, destroying the place even farther. But Raiden had a hunch they were still in the room he left his little sister. Mamoru and Kaito double kicked the door and their mouths dropped open to a scene they thought would never happen.

Riku had Len on his back, her knees on either side of his hips. But they weren't doing anything perverted, like the two thought and hoped.

Their hands were circled around each other necks, squeezing with all their will and might. Their smiles were scary, like the wide, thin ones you see the shadow man in the pictures smile. Smiles the group never thought the two could ever manage to make. Len seemed to have more control then the younger girl, because his was just peeling her neck while her nails dug into his throat, making it bleed.

Kaito and Mamoru ran to the two and peeled Riku off of Len, and he just got to his knees and lunged to the three again, but the doctor and the Samurai stopped him just in time. Lim and Gakupo dragged Len away from the three struggling teens, his arms putting Len in a arm lock behind his back.

Kaito and Mamoru where having a bad time trying to contain the girl who tried to attack her best friend. She tried to pull her wrists away and pull free, but the two did their best.

"What has gotten into them?!" Luka asked as she watched with her hand over her mouth. She has never seen the two so hostile towards each other, let alone wanting to kill one another.

"Fire Flower." He said, the sadness reflecting in his voice. "Ones who kill numerous on the Velvet Moon. As beautiful as the most beautiful rose, but as dangerous as fire……"

Luka gasped and looked at the two. "No way…. Len's become a…."

And it was true.

Len had calmed down only slightly now, but he still wanted to hurt the girl in front of him. Riku was still struggling, and draining all the strength out of Kaito and Mamoru. Luka saw what she didn't want to see.

Both looked at each other with glowing red eyes, more frightening than Raidens'. The trade mark of the Fire Flower. She also saw, when she was looking in their eyes, that they looked sad now, and tears were even threatening to fall out of the eyes of the frantic girl.

"Oh no…" Luka said. She felt so bad.

She looked up at the sky to see that the Red Moon was now going away, half way revealing the blue moon once more. The fire in Riku was finally dieing down as well, and her struggling faded away along with the red that covered everything.

Len was freed from Lim and Gakupo's grip as he watched his Hime still try to kill him in the gaze of the moon with tears falling down her face and a wicked smile. She soon stopped, and Kaito and Mamoru waited until they heard sobs before they let her go.

She curled up with her knees to her chest, the balls of her palms to her eyes as she cried. She heard her brother, and she didn't want to be a Fire Flower. She didn't want to have that feeling of wanting to kill Len like she did when the moon was red. She didn't like it one bit.

Everyone watched her cry as Len fought the urge to go to her. Luka and Lim had come over to him and looked at his still bleeding neck while he looked up at the sky with boredom. He just wanted to go sit next to Riku, that's all he wanted to do right then. But he had to keep still as Lim cleaned up his neck and bandaged it.

Luka then got up to go comfort Riku, but that earned a secret death glare from Len.

Raiden saw this glare with a smirk and frowned slightly. He grabbed Luka's arm as she took a step closer to Riku. "We better leave these two alone to make amends." Raiden said, and Luka nodded.

All six of the older people files out of the torn up study, Luka looking over her shoulder before Raiden closed the door behind him. Len sat in his spot for awhile, watching the girl as her sobs echoed through the air. Soon he couldn't take it anymore and crawled over to her, sitting in front of her crosslegged just in case she didn't want to be neaar him. She looked up at him, her cheeks flushed and tears still flowing non-stop. She leaned to him, wanting him to hug her. So he did, pulling her between his legs and putting her forehead to his chest, resting his chin on her head.

"Shush, it's aright." He said, petting her head as she continued to cry.

"I'm sooooooo sorry, Len!" She apologized. "I promise I won't do it again. Please don't hate me-"

"It's alright, I'm not hurt. It's just scratches, it'll go away soon enough. Please stop crying."

"But it was so scary." She murmured, now clutching onto his shirt. Len nodded and closed his eyes. "I don't want to feel like that ever again. Please don't be mad, please don't leave me……"

"Alright."

-:-

"You have a ten?"

"Gold Fish...."

"This is sooooo boring!" Rin said the next morning. She heard a couple of engines stop outside and smiled happily. "They're back! They're back!"

Meiko looked up from her morning glass of white wine as Miku and Zumi stopped playing a very boring game of Gold Fish. Everybody slumped in, Rin and Miku asking up a storm.

They took their time getting back home after that scary Midnight. Mamoru was munching on a morning cheeseburger, Kaito fell on the floor with exhaustion, and Gakupo had sat on a chair and nearly fell asleep. Lim and Raiden walked into the front door and were talking to no one but each other as they walked up the stairs. Luka lead Len in the door and closed it behind him, Riku still clutching onto his shirt and sleeping in his arms.

"Hey!" Rin trotted to them, Luka shushing her for being too loud. Rin winced and whispered. "Where did you guys go last night? And why is your neck al bandaged up? What happened?!"

"Nothing." Len said, walking over to the staircase that lead to Riku's room. Rin followed her little twin brother up the stairs, and so did Luka.

Luka opened the door and Rin ran in before her brother, flopping onto Riku's bed and sighing, "I wish my bed was this sooooooft~!"

Luka smiled and joined with Rin, and soon Miku adn Zumi came in and the four started to chat quietly. Len headed to the couch next to the large window and sat, putting the still sleeping Riku curled up in his lap.

She was still cluthed onto his shirt with both hands, and he put his hand on hers just to calm her down. He knew she wouldn't let go of him anytime soon, and now just by moving his hand away from her's made her face looked troubled. Maybe it was some inner fear he might still leave her……

Like that would ever happen!

-:-

"Len!"

The blonde 15 year old turned around to be hugged around the waist by a grinning girl. He blushed a light pink as Riku looked up at him with the most childish smile on her face.

"Len! Len! Len~Len!" She repeated over and over again, her voice echoing throughout the garden.

"What? What?" He asked, chuckling and rustling her hair. "Why are you so happy?"

"Luka Onee-chan said I passed all of the analyzing tests!" Riku said, pressing her cheek to his chest and smilng happily. "Isn't that great?! And she said I most likely won't go all wacko anymore!"

Len smiled and ran his hand through her hair repeatedly as she continued to rant and smile. It's been a couple of months after the Velvet moon, and soon it will be Miku's birthday. She's been taking the fact she's a born to be a Perfect Killer very well, and the fact that she made Len one as well. He knew that she was still beating herself up inside about changing him into something without his content first.

The two hadn't seen each other for awhile, because of the monthly health check-ups. It was a order by Lim to Luka, who made sure Riku wasn't anymore frail than she already was. And apparently, she passed and could stay with them.

Len smiled and threw his arms around her head, returning the hug. He pressed his cheek agaisnt the top of her blonde head, smilng as childishly as she was just a second ago. Now thzt smile on her face melted into a confused look.

"Len?" She asked, blinking.

Len just continued to smile and hug her. Nothing could ruin this unknown feeling deep inside him, not even the perverted minds of Kaito and Mamoru!!!!!

Or, so he thought!!!!
