Yay a review!!!! ^_^ I am such an easy person to please. Anyway thanks is due to Kasra for the review, it was wonderful. To answer your question about why Omi's mom didn't go to Suichii for help, it is because I figured that she would know how influential Reiji is, and of course she wouldn't know how powerful Suichii actually is. So I would guess she would fear for his life as well. I mean if a guy like Reiji would kill his wife and son why not his brother too. And we both know from the anime that this is true.
(NOTES): For this chapter I want to visit with Kikuno and what she thinks about her and Mameru's situation.
Disclaimer: Again, I do not own Weiss Kreuz, but one can always dream, right?!?!?!? Well anyway I just borrowed the characters for a time so on with the fun, ENJOY. ^_^

Chapter 2:
Kikuno's Fears
The clinking of plates and the chatter of the kitchen help accompanied Kikuno as she packed up her waitress uniform and readied herself for her walk to the subway, and her long ride home. She waved good-bye to her co-workers and absentmindedly ran a list of groceries she would need to pick up her herself and Mamoru in the morning, before her next scheduled shift at the restaurant.
As she settled herself into a seat on the subway Kikuno thought back to what had brought her to this point in her life.
(Flashback)
In the dead of night she crept into her baby's bedroom and quickly bundled little Mamoru up in warm clothes, even though it was spring time, there was still a chill in the air. Somewhere in the back of her mind it amazed Kikuno that she could think of such things while planning to run away from her own husband with her tiny 3 year old son. All she knew is that she had to go. To stay might mean her own demise and that of her son as well. She had never wanted to marry Reiji to begin with, her heart had always been with his brother Suichii, but her own desires came second to Reiji's influence and power. Even as his wife her love for Suichii could not be snuffed out and she had secretly continued to meet with him and their relationship continued to blossom, despite the small technicality of her being married to her lover's brother. Unfortunately their secret love affair came to an end the day she realized that she was pregnant, and her husband had been out of the country on business for the past month.
Kikuno had done her best to keep the pregnancy a secret from everyone especially Suichii and her husband's other sons. Once Reiji was home and they had spent a night together she had decided it was safe enough to advertise her pregnancy.
(End of Flashback)
Thinking back Kikuno couldn't believe how nieve she had been to think that Reiji would believe Mamoru was his own son, even when he was born a month earlier than he should have been. He looked nothing like his supposed father, and unlike his father's other sons who were cruel and disturbing even at a young age, Mamoru had been a sweet and wonderful baby.
Kikuno wiped tears from her eyes as one particular memory assaulted her mind, it had been shortly after Mamoru had been born.
(Flashback)
It had been the look on Suichii's face when he had seen Mamoru for the first time, and while Reiji was being congratulated for his accomplishment in a beautiful son; Kikuno could see the hurt in her lovers eyes doubled by her own pain at not being able to tell him that this little baby was his.
The first three years of Mamoru's young life had been passed in relative safety for him and his mother. Kikuno had convinced herself that her husband Reiji believed Mamoru to be his own son, and the acceptance of Mamoru by his older brothers seemed to strengthen this idea in her mind.
All of this security and blissful ignorance came to an end for Kikuno the day she quite by accident stumbled upon a voice mail message for her husband, on his answering machine while she had been straightening up his office. It had been from her son's doctor and had claimed that the blood test result's that Reiji had asked for were available for his perusal at his earliest convenience. Immediately a dreadful fear wound its way into Kikuno's heart. A blood test meant that Reiji might find out that Mamoru was not his son. Then again Kikuno wondered why her husband had requested the test in the first place, unless he already suspected as much, and wanted to confirm his suspicions.
Kikuno knew that she had to find out once and for all what her husband knew about Mamoru and then she would need to decide what to do about it. She had never really feared that Reiji would hurt her or Mamoru but she was no fool. Kikuno had seen her husband's temper before, and she knew he would not take the news of her infidelity lightly or calmly. She also feared for her lover and her baby's true father, Suichii. Kikuno knew of the strained relationship between the brothers, and how it became even more unstable when she married Reiji. Something like this could easily be a ticking time bomb that would lead to a real confrontation between the brothers.
Her mind set, Kikuno had erased the message on the recorder hoping to buy herself some extra time and left the office before her husband found her there. She knew he was leaving on business that night. His two creepy body guards had been seen at the estate earlier that day, and the German red head and the tall and ominous American only accompanied her husband home before he left town on extended business. They were what her husband called, special body guards. The only thing that Kikuno knew was that every time that German man looked at her, a chill would crawl down her spine and she felt as if her deepest secrets were at risk. Basically she was unconvertible in their presence and usually kept her distance unless it was required that she be by Reiji's side.
(End of Flashback)
As the subway train screeched to a halt Kikuno was taken from her thoughts and into the present by the jerking of the subway car she was in. Exhaustedly getting to her feet Kikuno exited the train and began her short walk to the apartment where she hoped her son was waiting. Sometimes she would come home and he would still be out with this friend June, but usually she would find him either madly clicking away at his computer or asleep at the keyboard. She still didn't know where Mamoru's affinity for electronics and computers came from, it was certainly not from her. This thought brought a soft smile to her tired face. Her Mamoru was a good boy, and she only wanted what was best for him. However she was on her own,and as much as she wanted to spend every waking hour with him, she needed to work so that they could eat and have a place to live.
For his part, her son never complained and never seemed to blame her for her decision to alienate him from his father and brothers. Kikuno had always been truthful with her son and knew that with the constant fear of being discovered by Reiji or one of his goons, that Mamoru needed to be well informed and educated about his father. Mamoru even knew of how his mother had during his father's absence, taken it upon herself to find out all of Reiji's dark secrets.
(Flashback)
After rummaging through Reiji's computer and desk as well as reading a journal her husband kept hidden in a bookshelf, Kikuno couldn't believe what a monster she had married. But all his illegal and horrible ambitions aside, what truly terrified her the most was the knowledge that Reiji did indeed know that Mamoru was not his son. What was worse was that Reiji knew even without the blood test that his brother was Mamoru's father and that his wife had been unfaithful. Terror had gripped Kikuno as she had read the horribly evil words that her husband wrote about her son and his desire to rid himself of the proof of his wife's betrayal, and to possibly rid himself or her as well.
It took no less then a second for Kikuno to dash from the disheveled office to her room to pack what she could carry and then proceed Mamoru's room, with one thought screaming in her mind all the way, she had to get out of there before that monster returned.
(End of Flashback)
Mamoru knew of her flight from his father, and this knowledge was important since Kikuno herself could not always be by her son's side, so she kept nothing from Mamoru, except one minor detail.
Mamoru had no idea that Reiji was not really is father.
She had always meant to tell him, but she knew if she did he would try to seek Suichii out, and that could be dangerous for them both. Plus her beloved did not know that Mamoru was his.
Shaking her head at her own insecurities and secretiveness Kikuno turned the key in the door of her apartment and walked in to her home of the past 2 years.
As she walked into the kitchen to drop off her bag and followed the faint glow of her son's faithful computer to his rooml, she smiled at the familiar site of her joy and her one reason for all the hardship she had to endure. Her son was in a familiar position drooling into the keyboard that cradled his head. Mamoru's soft and regular breathing filled the room as his mother lightly shook him and guided his half asleep form to his bed and tucked him in; he might be 15 but she still enjoyed tucking in her baby.
As Kikuno turned to shut off her son's computer and consequently drown the room in darkness her eyes fell on the monitor and she noticed that some kind of file was open and a disk was in the drive. Curious at what Mamoru had been up to, even in her tired state Kikuno scrolled down the extensive script not really reading what was there until she saw a name and her heart froze. There in bold letters under a list of names of colleagues of what looked like some kind of big business Kikuno saw the name that fueled her fears, Taketori Reiji, her husband.
