After Quatra says goodbye to Tushika he immediately starts walking back to his house with the sleeping Leiko. As he continues to walk back Quatra thinks to himself about tomorrow and things that might happen. Quatra, always one for caution, is also thinking of plans to counteract anything that might happen. His thoughts eventually get him to his home.

As he walks through the door he notices a large zanbato shaped like a giant rectangle with both sides sharpened leaning on the counter in his kitchen.

"Brother decided to pay me a visit huh?" Quatra say to himself as he walks right past the blade and into the hallway which led to his room. As he turns to walk down the hallway he notices his older brother leaning against the door to the guest room with his arms crossed and his eyes closed.

"Kyoya" Quatra says as he nods acknowledging his brothers presence. Kyoya Mikazuchi is the same height as Quatra but is 20 years old with a more muscular build. He has long brown hair that hangs halfway down his back and is braided. Blue eyes that are normally covered with sunglasses. His usual attire is a red and black button up that is left open revealing a long scar across his chest, blue jeans, black boots with ankle weights attached, and hand wraps covering more weights.

"Quatra, How's it goin little brother?" Kyoya says while standing up to give his brother a hug but notices the girl on his back. A devilish grin appears on Kyoya's face.

"I did not know you were the type to drug the women you bring home, Quatra" Kyoya says while playfully shaking his head. "What would mother say."

"Everyone's a damn comedian tonight" Quatra says while walking past Kyoya "I'm tired I'm gonna put her down in my room, the guest room is yours as usual."

"Quatra" Kyoya says with a serious look. Quatra realizing that Kyoya's tone changed turned around to look at him.

"What's wrong Kyoya?" Quatra says while looking at his normally gleeful brother.

"We need to talk"

"About?"

"That girl on your back" Kyoya says while pointing at the sleeping Leiko. Quatra realizing that since Kyoya is serious that this probably can't wait until the morning.

"Alright let me tuck her in and we can talk in the living room" Quatra tells Kyoya as he turns back around and goes into his room.

As Quatra enters his room he immediately puts Leiko on his bed, removes her jacket, bracelet, socks and shoes, and tucks her in. As he does this Quatra can't help but think of how amazing she looks asleep and awake. This thought causes him to smile.

"I really got lucky with you, didn't I?" Quatra asks himself with a smile as he gets up and goes to walk to the door only to find Kyoya leaning on the doorway.

"Let's talk in here" Kyoya says with the same serious look he had in the hallway.

"Okay" Quatra says sitting down on the floor next to the bed with his legs crossed, laying his katana on the ground next to him. "Why do you need to talk to me about Leiko?" he asked wondering how he even knew who Leiko was.

"I'm just gonna get straight to the point." Kyoya says while staring at his younger brother. "She has a hit out on her and someone is willing to pay 2,000,000 jewel to have someone end her life."

"How did you find this out?" Quatra asked with an eyebrow raised.

"I'm a mercenary, remember? Someone contacted me and asked if I was willing to do it and I asked how much. When they said 2,000,000 I automatically said yes and was given the address to meet these people. When I met with the representative I was in a room with about 20 other trained mercs and assassins while they gave us a briefing on Leiko Archon."

"How did they know so much about her?" Quatra says while staring down his brother anger starting to show on his face.

"Apparently someone found out that she survived the fire that killed her parents and is after her, which leads us to the problem." Kyoya says still leaning on the now closed door.

"Which would be?" Quatra asked while running his hands through his hair and exhaling showing signs of frustration already sure he knew the answer.

"In order to explain it in full I have to brief you like they did me." Kyoya explained while standing on his own power and looking at his little brother losing his composure. "Quatra what are your feelings for Leiko?" he asked "You are getting ready to go to war against Mastodon, If this is just some fling then focus all of your energy on Mastodon but if you really love Leiko I'll tell you everything."

Quatra regaining his composure looked right at his brother. "Brief me on the situation. I need to know everything."

"Alright then" Kyoya says with a smile seeing the change in his brother. "Leiko's magic is not normal as I'm sure that you have figured out." he says earning a nod from Quatra. " Do you remember when we had to assassinate the leader of the ministry of madness?"

"Yeah, he lead the cult by force and kidnapped young children and turned them into mages with strange powers that had never been seen before." Quatra says coolly.

"Well Leiko's dad was second in command before he was killed 10 years ago. He actively participated in the experimentation and when the time came to prove his loyalty he offered his second born to the ministry for experimentation when she was three. Which means..."

"Leiko is one of the children that the ministry experimented on." Quatra says finishing Kyoya statement with a look of shock on his face.

"That's right" Ryoga says while looking at the sleeping women on the bed then back to his brother. "The people that are hiring assassins are the same guys that hired us to take out the leader. He wants to completely destroy any trace of the ministry of madness and will stop at nothing to do it. That being said he won't stop until all of the mages that were created by the ministry are killed which is why Leiko has been targeted. I believe the reason that she is still alive is because she was considered a failed experiment because her magic didn't activate and after her parents were killed, since she was a failed experiment, she cast away like trash and given to her grandmother when the police found her abandoned."

"how do you know so much about my life?" Leiko asked with a dangerous glare as she sat up and scooted to the side of the bed so her legs were next to Quatra who continued to look at Kyoya.

"Guess she's awake now" Kyoya says while looking at his little brother then turns to look at Leiko. "Apparently someone got a hold of the ministry's files on experiments, failed or not this man hired 20 assassins to kill you. I learned all this during the briefing that was given."

"Are you one of them?" Quatra asked narrowing his eyes at his brother with his hand on his blade.

"I would've been if I hadn't watched the briefing completely." Kyoya says trying to disarm Quatra. "they also told us about Leiko's life after she left her grandmother's house. To put it simply someone has been following her for six years that works for the same guy giving him information on her and the only reason she is not dead is Lions Mane. This guy has all sorts of information on Lions Mane and the mages it possesses."

"During the briefing two more names came up that might interest you" Kyoya says with a smirk. "Our names were in the briefing as well. The Mikazuchi brothers, Kyoya the assassin of the wind and Quatra the shadow assassin. Well, less my name and more yours. Since they were watching Leiko they realized that there was always someone there to bail her out, a protector of sorts that would always show up just in the nick of time."

Leiko decided to slide off the bed and wrap her arms around her boyfriends arm to comfort herself more than him. Leiko was angry, angry that this man knew her entire life, angry that for six years she didn't realize she was being watched, and angry because she got Quatra involved in a problem that is solely hers. Quatra sensing her troubles wraps his arms around Leiko which causes her to look at him anger evident in her eyes but trying to mask how furious she was. Quatra looks at her with a comforting smile and moves her onto his lap, wrapping his arms around hers and resting his chin on the back of her shoulder.

"This isn't your fault." Quatra whispers in her ear from behind reassuring her. "Right now you are just a victim of circumstance but I'll protect you with my life" Saying this last part while kissing up and down the side of her neck causing Leiko to moan slightly while biting her bottom lip. Quatra continues to kiss the side of her neck until Leiko turns around, wraps her legs around her boyfriends torso, and kisses him on his lips. The kiss is returned 3 fold causing the couple to fall forward with Quatra on top positioned in between Leiko's legs as they continue. Leiko then starts to remove Quatra's black button up while Quatra's hand slides under her shirt as he starts massaging her...

"Ahem" Kyoya says with his left hand covering his eyes. He did not want to watch his little brother have sex. "Brother control yourself!" he says as he removed his hand from his eyes to see Quatra's hand deep inside Leiko's shirt. "Honestly what would our parents say if they saw you like this."

Quatra looks up to see his older brother in obvious discomfort and decides that he can control the urge to ravage his girlfriend so Kyoya could finish the briefing. Leiko was slightly angrier at Kyoya for ruining the moment but decided to sit back up next to Quatra. As she sat up she realized that her bra was completely undone.

"How the hell did he do that?" Leiko thought to herself while looking at her boyfriend who had an evil grin on his face. She refastened her bra while Kyoya began to speak again.

"anyway to make a long story short, 20 assassin are going to come for Leiko's life starting tomorrow. They have also decided that if either one of us gets in the way they will add 5,000,000 for each head to add on the 2,000,000 on hers." Kyoya says with a serious face as he looks at Quatra who unlike normal is sitting regularly on the floor with his right arm resting on his knee.

Leiko watches as Quatra who is thinking to himself and is shocked when Quatra turns to look at her with a serious look on his face.

"Leiko, we're gonna get rid of this problem but in order to do that I will probably have to kill the people who are after you. Are you okay with that?" Quatra asks knowing how Leiko feels about Quatra becoming a killer again.

"Quatra you can kill if necessary but I don't want you becoming what you used to be." Leiko answer with an equally serious tone.

"Then it's settled" Kyoya says with a clap of his hands and a smile. "What's the plan?"

"What else?" Quatra says " We go in and kill the man with the money."

"When do we do this?" Kyoya asked arms crossed an eyebrow raised.

"No time like the present." Quatra says with a smirk.

"Who are we killing?" Leiko asked Kyoya with curiosity.

"Archbishop Finnegan." Kyoya says coolly.

"His mansion will be swarming with guards, how would we get in?" Leiko asks seriously causing both brothers to laugh. Quatra then puts his hand on her head and gives her an evil looking grin.

"We'll let Kyoya take care of that." Quatra says while shooting a smirk at his brother who returned the smirk. "But you need to take off the wristband."

"Why?"

"When it glows it might give away our position." Quatra says while taking off her wristband. "and you need to get changed, leave your jacket at home and tie your hair back. I'll walk you back to your house."

"Okay lets go." Leiko says as she gets up to follow Quatra who is already walking towards his bedroom door.

"Kyoya, we will meet you at the train station in an hour. That train should have us in Magnolia at 0600 hours. We'll talk more on the train." Quatra says while standing in front of Kyoya at the doorway.

"Why Magnolia?" Kyoya says to Quatra as he walks away.

"I need to talk to Fairy Tail's Guild master about something." Quatra says plainly as he walks away. " And if we are going to go to the Pergrande kingdom we need to catch that train in Magnolia."

"Always thinkin ahead aye Quatra?" Kyoya says to himself while Quatra and Leiko walk out the door. "That mind along with your natural ability is the reason that you'll live longer than me."

Quatra and Leiko walk at a hurried pace back to her house not saying a word to each other on the way. When they finally make it to her house, she opens the door and walks inside . Quatra immediately walks in front of her to make sure the rooms are all clear.

"Alright Leiko, change into something easy to move in, preferably black, tie your hair back and cover the guild mark on your forearm." Quatra says to Leiko while signaling to her that it's all clear. "You have 20 minutes"

Leiko immediately goes and starts doing what he says. Quatra sensing another presence goes to take care of it. He finds the spy in a tree in the forest behind her apartment with a clear view into her window.

"They're going to the Pergrande kingdom?" the spy asks himself curious on why they would take the target into the lions den. "I have to tell the Archbishop."

"And what makes you think that I will let you?" Quatra asks while leaning on the tree trunk of the tree that he is perched in, arms crossed. "You know entirely too much for me to just let you go."

"But...how?" the spy asked afraid of what happens next. "You were just in the room with the girl."

"I don't answer the questions of a rat of the archbishop." Quatra says jumping up and landing on the same limb as him, looking down on him with gold eyes and murderous intent.

"Are you gonna kill me?" the spy looks at him wide eyed, his body shaking with fear as he takes steps back until he runs into the tree trunk.

"I assume you have done some research on me." Quatra says while slowly walking the tree limb until he stops a swords length away from the spy and grabs the handle of his blade. "What do you think?"

Quatra then draws his blade and quickly beheads the spy. The only thing that was heard was the spy's scream that seemed to pierce the night sky. To make sure the job was done he stabbed the head. After he was sure the job was done he walks back into Leiko's apartment like nothing happened.

And there is chapter 6 just read and review.
