Part nineteen.

**********

The doors open with their customary whoosh. . . revealing the carnage within the room. Mastermind takes a small step backwards. "What the fuck. . . " From further in the room, he can hear a low growl as it echoes through the previously sterile area.

The smaller telekinetic peeked around him, eyes huge. "What's going on?"

"I don't know. . . One of those things cells is busted, and I can't sense anything in there. . . other than the blue haired thing that is still locked up."

"That doesn't sound good... where are the techs?"

"Best I can tell. . . in pieces." A small motion from within the unshattered cell attracts the telepath's attention. Nanjiro crawls out from beneath the cot... looking slightly disheveled.

The blue-haired boy looked around at the carnage. "Tatsumi is going to be pissed..."

Mastermind looks over at the boy. "What the fuck happened in here?"

"What does it look like? Your staff tried to fuck with something they shouldn't have..."

"Looks like they lost a few rounds with a food processor. . . " the redhead comments stepping over an unidentifiable mass that he would guess used to be part of one of the techs.

"Well... that's what happens when you start messing with demons and other powerful beings." Nan's eyes were flashing dangerously. "I tried to warn them... but do you think they listened?"

"So why did the big bad powerful demon eat blondie and not you?" Mastermind asks, looking into the shattered cell. "Better question, where the fuck is the demon so we can kick its ass back to wherever the fuck it came from... "

"He didn't eat 'blondie'..." Nan paused for effect, a wry smile on his face... "He IS blondie."

**********

Something is wrong. . . really wrong. . . that is the thought that runs through Schuldig's mind as he sits up. There is something horribly wrong with Watari. He caught it only as a flash, but what ever it was, it had unnerved the shinigami enough for him to broadcast his distress so far...

Nagi happened to be in the room with him and noticed the expression on his face. "Schu... what's wrong?"

"Fuck, I just got a flash from Watari... "

"Really? Any idea where he is? I haven't heard anything out of Nanjiro."

"Not a clue," Schu says as he looks over at the small telekinetic. "Just that he was scared of losing control of something... what it was, I don't know."

"I think I'm going to go see if anyone is on owlchat..." The young telekinetic rushed from the room.

**********

They wanted to hurt Watari, the creature thinks as it looks out into the hallway from its hiding place. The shinigami hadn't done a thing to them, but they wanted to destroy him for no reason. Not one in that room had been innocent. Not a single one. Light plays across dark eyes as the creature with the long blond hair accommodates itself.

Through the vents a sweet scent reaches it... it's mate is here.

A redhead was talking... arguing with the other shinigami. Another one with dark hair stood by them. The scent was coming from the group.

Ebon eyes watch as the two continue arguing... not that the words are important, since he doesn't understand the strange language that is spoken in this era, just Watari's soothing thoughts.

"I don't know where he went... I was under the bed... you think I was going to look out while so much glass was flying around?" Nan was not in a good mood.

Black wings rustle slightly, a feather flutters to the ground. The others he knows... slightly. The red head, though, he's seen through Watari's own eyes... and knows that his host finds solace in the creature's presence. Sniffing again, he makes certain that is the host's mate. A smile spreads as he is positive that is indeed the mate.

"Well, I can't find this freak..." Mastermind says as he takes his gun out, "all I can locate is just about every single asshole in this building, as well as the fucking migraine for my trouble. . . Prodigy, since blondie seems immune to my powers, he might not take to yours either. Go back to our quarters and get the weapon of your choice to help take this thing out."

The telekinetic nodded. "I'll get my gun..." He turned and headed for the door.

Mastermind nods in agreement, "I'll start looking for it... if Oracle gives you any hassles, just tell him to shove it where I've been trying to go since the first day of our creation."

"Hai..." The brunette disappeared down the hallway.

The blonde watches as the mate leaves the room as well, and follows him through the ventilation ducts. Watching and waiting for a proper time, certain that this is the correct action for him to take. Is he looking for me, it wonders... a little amused at the game of hide and seek.

With his gun drawn, Mastermind enters one of the offices, only to find it completely and utterly empty. Stepping behind the desk momentarily to check if whatever that thing is, isn't hiding back there. Behind him, he can hear the sound of metal tearing against metal from above.

The redhead whirled, gun up and ready... Only to find himself completely knocked to the ground, pinned in place by what used to be Watari. Large black wings, unfurl to reveal an impressive wingspan. Talons find their way to his hands, holding them down... thankfully not trying to cause any damage, merely keeping him neatly held against the floor and unable to fight back.

"What the FUCK?! What the hell do you want..." The redhead tried to thrash... "Let me go you freak!"

A sound, something like a mix between a kitten's purr and a lion's growl can be heard from the back of the creature's throat as it looks down at the captive red head.

Green eyes widened. "What... shit... are you going to eat me?!"

Sniffing at Mastermind's hair, it nips his ear before passing a pink tongue over the recently tenderized flesh.

Eyes like dishplates, the telepath could only lay there and hope the thing wasn't hungry. /Prodigy... get your skinny ass in here!!!!!!/

**********

Eventually the glass breaks. Panting, Nanjiro drops what is left of the cot and climbs out of the cell. A quick search around the room leads to no help in locating a key for this damn collar. Whatever it was that Kira sealed into Watari wasn't supposed to be that dangerous...

**********

Ebon eyes gaze curiously into green... mates normally do not react like this. Pressing its cheek against Mastermind's, a smile spreads across its lips. Perhaps things have changed? From deep in its throat, the blonde makes, in its opinion, a low purring sound.

"What the fuck do you want... I'm not my template... I don't do this!" His voice was starting to sound a little panicky.

The blonde reacts as though he were just ignoring his captive's pleas. Leaning down, he suckles on Mastermind's lower lip. A prelude to a kiss. Beneath those lips, the red head can feel the sharp fangs that are momentarily hidden from view.

Deciding that it was smarter to play along rather than fight something with fangs and claws... Mastermind just gave in, kissing the creature in response.

Slipping his tongue into that lovely mouth, the winged creature deepens the kiss. Pulling back to breathe, it nuzzles the telepath's neck. . . softly speaking in an alien tongue as it does so. One of the talons is brought up, and begins to lightly caress the side of the red head's face... tangling its claws in the long red locks playfully before it seeks to recapture his lips.

/Prodigy... where the FUCK are you!!!! This thing's got me dammit!!!/

The door is thrown open and the telekinetic finds his path blocked by the section of the ventilation shaft brought down by the shinigami. Black feathers rustle as Prodigy tries to throw the creature off of Mastermind...

As the blonde sits up straight it looks back at Prodigy, and blinks... slightly confused.

"Let him go!" Prodigy aimed his gun at the creature.

Cocking its head to the side, the shinigami blinks again and ruffles the feathers in its wings to resettle them. Sniffing the air, it tries to catch Prodigy's scent... failing, it turns its head slightly before trying again. A small growl is offered as a dismissal to the telekinetic before it speaks again in that alien language.

The telekinetic frowned. "Nagi... I'm not Nagi... that's my template..."

With one talon resting lightly on top of Mastermind's chest, the blonde lifts his other and motions towards the door. . . which in response slams shut.

Prodigy slowly picked himself up off the floor. That thing... was powerful... this was very bad.

**********

miko-chan: midnight... sorry. can't talk long. critter that was summoned 20yr ago is unsealed.
keeper_of_keys: midnight <-- 'famous' esset?
miko-chan: shutup keeper... >_>

miko-chan: good luck.... least you don't have to deal with critter. -_-;;;
Midnight: good luck...

**Midnight logged off**

**********

Trying to force the door open, only results in it being flattened further, much to Prodigy's annoyance.

"Hey... is it in there?" Nan shouted down the hallway.

"Crap... it must be thinking he's Schuldig..."

"Mastermind doesn't look like his template."

"It may not rely on the same senses we do... if they are genetic copies..."

Prodigy looks back at the flattened door. "It can't tell that is not Mastermind's template... It does not understand our language either."

Nanjiro pointed to the collar around his neck... if you can get this off me... I might be able to do something... like call in the cavalry!"

*********

The blonde looks down at Mastermind... wondering why the red head is reacting the way he has been. The telepath reached up and grabbed the creature's neck, trying to throw it off him.

Caught off guard, the blonde is knocked to the ground... Mastermind's hands still locked around his neck, taloned hands trying to pull them off. Deciding to get while the getting was good... the redhead darted for the door...

Infuriated by the harsh treatment, the shinigami tackles Mastermind from behind... growling dangerously.

**********

Schuldig can't help but offer a few well placed complaints about having to dash out and help Esset with their little clean up because one of their experiments got slightly out of hand. . . Never mind the fact that what ever it was, killed a room full of scientists, reportedly some of the organizations more elite. If they were so smart, how could they have let something like that loose he wonders with a smirk.

Nagi just rolled his eyes. "What ever it is... the project was top secret... I couldn't get anything on it."

Pulling his automatic, Brad warns them to be careful. . . since his powers are hitting a black spot around what ever Esset was working on. As they enter the building, a steady stream of Esset non-combat personnel comes pouring slowly out of the area. "We have to split up," the American says dryly. "Schuldig, I want you to keep us all in contact... "

/Already linked... do you want pairs or individually?/

/Individual...there is a lot of area to cover.../

/Ja.../ He headed down one corridor, Nagi headed up a flight of stairs. Brad waived Farfarello toward the basement, while he went another way.

**********

"Are you sure this is where they are?" Wakaba asks the shinigami next to her... Elongated eyes latch onto the young girl as though she were mentally deficient for inquiring.

"This is where the energy patterns were coming from." Kira informs the gate keeper. "Only a hybrid of this sort corresponds to those patterns."

With a snort, Terezuma drops his cigarette and snubs it out on the ground. "Then what are we waiting for. . . lets get them out of there and seal that thing back up."

**********

Schuldig had his shields up pretty strong, except for the links between Schwarz. /Brad... should I try getting a 'feel' for the situation. We're walking in blind here./

/Do it... let me know if you find anything unusual./

/Will do, boss man./

/Be careful, Schu./

/I will, Nags./ He found a good place to sit, and carefully lowered his shields...

**********

More annoyed than upset, the shinigami sends a taloned claw breaking the tile floor inches away from the telepath's head. Leaning in close to the red head's ear, he lets loose an open mouth growl...

**********

/Fuck!/

/Schu?!/ Nagi nearly jumped from the German's sudden and unexpected exclamation.

/Sorry brat. . . Hey, Brad... I might have found what we are looking for. About two floors down from you. Nags, three corridors to the right from you. Farf, get back in the building and stop tormenting that nun./

There was a rumbling of discontent from Farfarello, but he turned back toward the building. Nagi headed for the cross corridor. /Schu... should I go in or wait?/

**********

Avoiding as many people as possible, the three shinigami make their way into the building, while remaining in spirit form. Terezuma complaining about not being able to smoke while they search for the hybrid. A light touch passes Wakaba's mind... /Schuldig, is that you?/ she asks tentatively.

/GET IT OFF OF MEEEEE!!!!!!!/

/What is it... and where are you?/ "Kira... I might have him... " the blonde says out loud to the demon expert.

/It's a THING... it's came out of the blondie! It's got wings and claws and fangs and it's got me!!!/

/Where are you?!/

/Is this a private call or can anyone but in?/ The new voice had Schu's distinctive sarcasm.

/Schuschu?! Then who is... the other?/ she asks, indicating Mastermind.

/that's a very good question... my guess is the now deceased doctors here are playing God.../

Not really wanting to understand what Schuldig is talking about, Wakaba concentrates again on the first telepath that contacted her that night. /Kid... where are you? We've brought someone that can seal the hybrid... /

The telepaths thoughts are scattered... except for something about the telekinetic out in the corridor...

/Schuschu. . . where is that kid?/ Somewhere in the back of the tiny shinigami's mind, the German picks up a thought of how the hybrid shouldn't have been that violent... at least not unless something or one provoked it.

/On the second level toward the east end of the building... Nagi's heading that way already... I think Prodigy is outside the room... I'm about 200 yards away and moving in.../

Wakaba quickly gives the instructions to Kira and Terezuma. /If this is the hybrid, then it should try to go to you automatically because of your relationship with Watari./

/That's probably why it's after the clone... I'm heading in... anything else I should know?/

**********

Schuldig is just arriving at the door when Wakaba, Kira and Terezuma materialize n ext to Prodigy, making the telekinetic jump a foot at the very least away from them. An enthusiastic greeting is shared by the gate keepers, with Nanjiro's request to have the collar removed, made once more.

Nagi also made his appearance eyeing his copy very nervously before ducking behind Schu. "so... in there?"

"The hybrid has your clone in there?" Kira asks Schuldig. Her voice flat as she pulls out an intricate looking fuda.

"ducky... so what's the plan?"

"Simple, you get to calm the hybrid down. Assuming that he doesn't attack you out of confusion." She comments while attaching the paper to the somewhat odd looking doorway... wondering whether it would just be simpler to smash through the wall.

Nagi frowned. "wonderful plan." he mumbled.

An annoyed look passes her features, "explain why the hybrid felt it necessary to seal this door?" Sharp eyes pass over Schuldig, Prodigy and Nanjiro. "He sealed it using several layers of power... creating a synergy that nulls my fuda."

They looked at each other... then at Prodigy and Nanjiro. The telekinetic copy frowned. "It shut the door when it threw me out."

"Marvelous. Looks like we get to cause more structural damage... and go through the wall." Over her shoulder, she looks at Terezuma who looks like he would prefer to be anywhere but there.

Nagi sighed. "Let me..." An otherworldly wind starts to whip around him before he flings it all in one burst at the wall.

As the wall begins to crack, Nagi concentrates on those areas... debilitating the surface... attacking its weakest points. When it falls, Prodigy is left somewhat bewildered... since a task of that level should have been above his weakling template.

Panting slightly and rubbing his head... Nagi gestured to the hole in the wall. "There you go... one entrance..."

**********

The cloned telepath is somewhat shocked when the wall comes down... shielded as he is, by the large ebon wings. Shaking some of the dust off, the hybrid looks up when the debris have finished falling. Transferring his hand from where it had been nearly embedded in the floor, he places it in the small of Mastermind's back as he moves slightly to get a better view of those entering the room.

First through the hole is Schuldig. "Watari?"

Black wings flutter slightly as the blonde moves ever so subtly. Trying to pick up on the scent, it blinks... still holding Mastermind in place. Though intrigued by the tone of voice and the scent coming from Schuldig.

/Watari... can you hear me this way?/

Confusion rolls across a foreign consciousness. Growling, it finally catches Schuldig's scent. The talons dig in slightly to the clone's back. . . deep enough to just draw blood.

Schu held out his arms to the thing. "Watari... come here..."

Slowly it lowers its gaze to Mastermind, leaning down the hybrid inhales the scent of the clone deeply before looking back up at Schuldig. Leaving the captive telepath's mental workings in pure chaos.

"Yeah... I know.. he smells like me... but I bet I smell better than him right now... he's got to be ready to wet his pants." Schu took a couple cautious and slow steps forward. In the back of his mind, Schuldig can feel the encouragement of the shinigami... all of whom are now spread across the room in spirit form.

Tentatively the blonde stands. . . bringing Mastermind to his feet as well.

"He's just a cheap imitations... I'm the one Watari likes... so why don't you let him go and we'll go somewhere and see if we can get Watari back..." A voice pops up in Schu's mind that he recognizes as Nanjiro, informing that the hybrid doesn't understand any modern language. . it's the tone of voice that's he's listening to.

Still not dropping the clone, he drags him a few paces as though he were nothing more than a rag doll. . . drawn forward towards Schuldig.

"Ahhh... so you don't get anything I say... okay... I can babble on forever... Is Watari in there? I hope so... it would really suck if he's gone... I'm kind of attached to him by now..."

Getting closer, the hybrid finally arrives at Schuldig... slightly taller than what Watari originally was. Tilting his head to the side, black eyes study the second red head. Leaning in, he inhales the scent and finally drops Mastermind in a quivering heap... discarded as his attention is now completely on Schuldig, with that growling purr coming from the back of his throat.

"That's right... drop the cheap imitation... hey... you're actually pretty sexy like this... let's move away from the quivering heap of telepath..." He smiled and held a hand out to the creature.

A curious look passes those dark eyes... aware that it was just complimented from the tone used. A small smile finds its way to those lips revealing the sharp fangs beneath. Glancing at the outstretched hand, it takes a moment, but eventually he gently rests a talon there and lets Schuldig lead him.

As the redhead steers him to the side... Prodigy starts to float Mastermind out of the room.

Following Schuldig, the blonde almost immediately pokes his nose into the German's neck... nuzzling. The German tried not to laugh... it tickled a bit. He nuzzled back and did a little light petting...

Wakaba goes over to check on Mastermind, startling the telepath when he notices her mismatched eyes. Pushing red hair back, she turns his cheek to take a better look at the friendly nip he received on the tip of the ear. "Easy... I'm not going to harm you... "

"yeah sure... after what they did to the other two..."

"I'm not here to blame anyone... just get my friends back and make sure that no more people than necessary die in the process."

He snorted. "Don't feel bad about the ones he shredded downstairs... they deserved it."

**********

/Schuschu, are you done playing with him?/ Nanjiro asks, somewhat amused at how sweetly the two interact with each other.

/You tell me... what else do I have to do?/

/Just hold on to him... when Kira hits him with the seals, he's gonna jerk and then collapse./

/Will do.../ "Well... tall, dark and handsome... it's been wonderful, but I kind of want my sweet and naive scientist back... so if you will kindly go back to sleep..." Next thing Schuldig is aware of, is the creature weakly trying to pull from his grasp... and then stumbling towards him, falling into his embrace... with Kira standing directly behind the blonde.

He sank to the floor, cradling the form in his arms. "Will he be okay?"

Kneeling down, Kira watches the interaction. "Watari will be fine. I wouldn't have sealed that into him if I wasn't sure that he could handle it."

He sat there with the blond in his lap, stroking the golden hair. "Good..." Nagi, curious, crept in. He spied Nanjiro and smiled.

"You're okay?"

Nanjiro can't help but smile back at Nagi, "I need about a week's worth of rest, but will be lucky if I get even a day. Other than that, just peachy."

Prodigy and Mastermind were standing together just inside the ruined wall. It was the redhead who finally spoke. "I don't suppose we can just leave?"

Not a word is spoken, though several exchange telepathically between the conscious shinigami present. Terezuma places a hand on either shoulder of the clones as Wakaba and Kira deal with Schuldig, Watari, Nagi and Nanjiro. . . all of them materializing in the medical center in Meifu.

Nagi blinked. "Why are we here?"

Schu smirked. "Besides the fact that this is the only way to get you a vacation?"

Going into 'nurse-mode' Wakaba start directing people to where they are supposed to go... Nagi is shown to a bed, and told to rest... a glare is directed at him when he tries to argue. Kira leaves, stating that she has more important business to tend to than watch over that bastard, indicating the still unconscious Watari. Some medical gauze is taken out, and Mastermind's wounds are looked after... then he is instructed to lay down. To get her point across she even steers him towards the bed herself, not accepting 'no' for an answer. Prodigy is given a quick look over... and told to rest after she fusses over some nastier looking bruises and using an ointment on them. Nanjiro goes to the bed next to Nagi and practically collapses there...

Schuldig doesn't even have to wait for Wakaba to tell him anything, automatically laying Watari down on one of the beds and pulling up one of the comfier chairs in the room to sit in as he watches over his blonde.

Somewhat annoyed, Wakaba chases Tere out of the medi center when he tries to light a cigarette. Dragging the larger shinigami out by an elongated ear, she informs the 'guests' that she'll be back later to check on them.

Nagi lay there, watching Prodigy and Mastermind with a little trepidation. He remembered all too vividly how they overpowered him. Prodigy in turn was eyeing his template. The air was tense.

That evening, Watari finally starts to wake... much to Schuldig's delight. After a small yawn, hazel eyes start to appear from beneath those long lashes, and a sleepy 'hello' is murmured to the German.

"Hi there, beautiful... nice to see you waking up... and back to yourself."

Blushing a bit, Watari looks up at Schuldig from his position on the bed. "It's nice to be back..."

"You look ravishing in black... but I'm much happier to have you this way... as I'm sure my cheap imitation is as well..." He glanced over to where Mastermind was sleeping... or pretending to.

"Is there something that happened that I should know about?" Watari asks, not entirely sure that he really wants to know.

The redhead shrugged. "Not really... It's a boring story. I'm just glad to have you back. I know Nagi is too... so he should stop stressing, he's napping now. HIS imitation is here too, apparently Wakaba didn't like something about how he looked... Nan is pretending to be sleeping beauty so I think that catches you up to speed."

Responses to Reviews(fanfiction/net):

Kara Angitia: LMAO!!! Yannie and I couldn't stop giggling over that review... jejeje. And as for Watari... well, it seems that things are starting to look up for him now. ^.~

kitsuneblood: thanks for the continuing support in this fiction... it really does mean a lot to both me and Yannie...

Responses to Reviews (mediaminer.org):

Yue TKS: Thank you! Yannie and I just thought that the two series just went together quite naturally... so the next thing for us to do was actually put together a fanfiction for it. It's always a great thing to know that the story is being enjoyed.

The Chaotic Ones: About Nanjiro and Nagi having a relationship... Uhm... I'll just stay quiet on that topic for a little longer. About Muraki and Tsuzuki. That can be blamed on the fact that Muraki is treating Aya-chan and Tsu doesn't want anything bad to happen to her.
