Disclaimer:

All characters belong to their individual creators. Nobuhiro Watsuki created Rurouni Kenshin™ and Takehito Koyasu and Project WeiB created WeiB Kreuz™. I don't own them and I don't profit from using these characters.

Warning: This is a yaoi story, meaning it had homosexual themes in it. Whether or not there are lemon scenes, I don't know yet. But when that happens, I'll warn ya. So if you're uncomfortable with yaoi story, don't read it. It's as simple as that.

Author's comments:

I can't help it. The idea of a SaitoxRan pairing just popped in my head while I was writing my other fanfic and it won't leave! It's one of those ideas that hit you over the head and screamed to be written. Don't need a muse for that kind of brick.

Author's notes:

For the sake of this story, let's just say that the Rurouni Kenshin's characters are living in the present days, and they are all mixed up in the worlds of Kritiker - meaning Kritiker itself, Crashers and WeiB.

In this AU, there is one additional order: the Mibu's Wolves of Justice (extracted from the Rurouni Kenshin universe). In here, the Mibu's Wolves act as the watchdog of the organization. If they find the organization is being corrupted from within, it is their task to eliminate the problem and set the organization back on track. This would of course call for very disciplined people who are willing to embrace the principles of their joyless burden with every bit of their being.

So enters Saito Hajime, who once worked for Kritiker as one of the Mibu's Wolves of Justice. He also never got married in this fic (I honestly have no idea how any women could live with someone like that).

Himura Kenshin aka the Hitokiri Battousai was once part of WeiB I, for obvious reasons, but he later became a backpack wanderer before returning to Japan.

The Oniwa Banshuu works for the government and has never gone private, so to speak. Shinomori Aoshi is still the prodigious leader of this organization, while raising his adopted protégé Misao.

All these RK characters would be involved in Kritiker longer than Aya and his friends were.

Cho the Sword Hunter became a gunrunner in this fic. His role is minimal.

Takeda Kanryou remains the rotten-to-the-core villain that he is. In this fic, he deals in drugs, weapons, any vice that would gain him more power.

Chronically speaking, this fic takes place after the 'Revenge' arc of the Rurouni Kenshin manga (not the anime). And for WeiB, it would take place after the events in the Dramatic Precious Stages drama CDs.

For the sake of not confusing anyone, I'll refer to the worlds of Kritiker, Crashers and WeiB as just Kritiker whenever it's needed.

The word 'hitokiri' means 'assassin' in Japanese, which is exactly what WeiB is about. So when I say Hitokiri Battousai, it also refers to Himura's link to being a WeiB.

In this fic, Ran still continues using 'Aya' as his identity. His codename is Abyssinian, name of a feline pedigree. Yohji is Balinese; Ken is Siberian. Omi, having dropped out of the assassin game, drops the codename Bombay and assumes his uncle's mantle of Persia *enough said*.

Saito Hajime is the lone vigilante crime-fighter who goes by the name Fujito Goro. 'Aku Soku Zan' still remains as his coda and it means 'Kill Evil Instantly'.

In keeping with what I feel to be the accurate way, the family name will be placed before the personal name.

The name of WeiB's second flower shop is KaY - short for Ken, Aya and Yohji. I put a small 'a' because Aya isn't his true name at all, and because forming a name with K, R, Y is impossible.

I have just finished watching the OVA and I realized something. Aya is not wearing his sister's earring anymore! It makes sense in a way because his sister is awake and well. But did he return it or keep the jewelry, well, that's anybody's guess.
