Ken and Aya waited outside the office, waiting for the report from the doctor. As Aya had said, he had taken Youji to the hospital for an examination to isolate the problem and hopefully find a cure for the blond. Ken had tagged along just cause he was really worried for his friend; he figured Omi could handle the shop along with Momoe while they were gone.

After a half hour had passed, the doctor finally stepped out of the office, clipboard in hand. Ken stood straight up to his feet, while Aya turned his attention to the man. The doctor cleared his throat before talking.

"As far as from what I can tell - there's really nothing wrong with him, but I can't be certain. He may have to stay here for a while till we can find out more."

"So, there's nothing at all?" Ken asked; the man just shook his head, placing the clipboard under his arm.

"As I said, I can't be sure. We may need to do further testing. I'll have him placed in one of the wards - with your permission, of course." Ken stared at the doctor, before adverting his gaze to the redhead standing next to him. Aya nodded his head, giving the permission the doctor needed for further testing. The doctor nodded, writing a note on the side of the paper clipped to his board, explaining the process of the tests and how they worked.

"We will let know what we find. Have a nice day." The doctor heading back into the office; Ken moved to follow to say goodbye to Youji, but Aya stopped him, placing a hand on the brunet's shoulder. Ken looked at the redhead confusingly, but didn't say anything; Aya started walking towards the exit, Ken stood a moment longer before sighing and followed after the silent swordsman out of the hospital.

~~~~*~~~~

Ken and Omi sat down on the chairs outside, while Aya stood leaning against the wall, waiting for the report. They had been lucky that the appointment fell on a holiday, allowing them to close the shop and see Youji. After some time, the main doctor came out, addressing them; Ken and Omi stood to their feet, as the doctor spoke.

"We've done scans and all, but there's really nothing wrong with him - your friend is fine!"

"Then why is he still like this, if there's nothing wrong?!" Ken burst out; his concern over riding his manners. The doctor only sighed, signaling down the hall towards his office.

"I know this is a worry, but he's fine - what he has is a case of pavor nocturnus."

"Night terrors?" Omi looked at the doctor with a questioning look. The man nodded his head, continuing on about the procedure of the tests and how the results all pointed to the same thing - night terrors.

"Yes, I know that!!! I know he's here!! Look, I'm not a foreigner - I was born here!!!" Shouts from down the hall distracted them all, looking ahead they saw a dark-blond woman, dressed in a business skirt and jacket walking down the hall. She stopped in front of the doctor, a menacing glare on her face.

"Are you Doctor Mareo?" Mareo gulped, nodding his head slowly.

"Which room is Kudou, Youji in?" The poor man pointed shakily down the hall, saying it was the forth to last door on the left side of the wing. She thanked him and marched off, passing by Ken, Omi and Aya down the hall with a determined look. Ken and Omi stared after her in shock, looking at each other with confused looks.

"What do think she wants with Youji-kun?"

"More of, how does she know him?" The two stood there and thought, before speed walking down the hall to catch up with the woman. Aya let out a sigh, following after his teammates at a slower pace. Ken caught up with the woman first, cutting her off before she could place her hand on the handle of the door. Dark green eyes glared at him, trying to scare him away, but Ken was too used to glares like that.

"Who are you?" The brunet asked, a hint of anger in his voice; the dark-blond narrowed her eyes more at him. Omi had caught up to the two, but stayed back seeing the obvious dislike floating between the two. Ken waited for her answer, she never opened her mouth; frustrated, Ken held tighter on the door.

"I asked, who..."

"Reina! I'm here to see Youji, now... MOVE!!" She gritted the last word through her teeth, raising her voice to emphasize her impatience. Ken frowned, narrowing his eyes slightly at her; she looked foreign to him, but her name wasn't foreign - at least it didn't sound foreign. He felt a gentle hand on his arm, tugging at it slightly; the brunet looked down to see it was the youngest member holding on to his arm.

"Please Ken-kun... Don't cause a fight, especially here!! Onegai?" The boy looked at him with wide, semi-desperate eyes, worry masking his face. Ken sighed, knowing he couldn't ignore that look, no matter what the circumstances were. Sighing in defeat, he released the door handle, moving aside for Reina to enter; she mumbled thanks and went in.

Ken followed in after her, still inwardly angered by her actions earlier; she didn't seem to care. She stepped in the room, searching with her eyes till she found who she was looking, sitting upright on the bed at the very end of the room.

"Youji!" She called out, her voice and face changing expression; Youji looked from the window to the voice, seeing the woman standing there with a worried look. He felt tears form in his eyes, trying to reach out for her, but careful not to fall out of the bed.

"O-nee-chan!!" Ken's eyes widen in surprise at how the older man addressed the woman.

// O-nee-chan?! //

Reina practically ran to the end of the room, cradling her brother in her arms. Youji wrapped his arms around her waist, and began crying, speaking in between sobs. Reina gently rested her chin on top of his head, slowly rocking him back and forth, letting him cry in her chest.

"Shh - it's okay. O-nee-chan's here! I won't let her get you, shh. It's okay, it's alright. I'm here now..." The others just watched, simply dumbfounded at the scene in front of them.

~~~~*~~~~

"You're... Youji-kun's sister??" The dark-hair blond nodded, a less angered look on her face. They had moved outside the room where Youji was kept, standing right in front of the door.

"My name is Reina, Kudou... Sorry for my behavior, it's just that... I've been stressed lately and forgotten my manners." She sighed running a hand through her hair in a similar fashion Youji does when he felt frustrated. She explained to them about how Youji had called her a few nights back and how she was able to excuse herself from to see him here in Japan.

"Reina-san, where did you come from?" Omi asked, trying hard not to stare with a slight amazement on how close the two looked alike.

"I came from the States; I'd moved there to look for business a while back." The three men could only nod. Reina sighed again, leaning her forearm against the wall gazing down at the floor. A long silence passed between them; no one dare speak to break it.

"Reina-san... what happened to Youji before?" Aya asked, breaking the heavy silence that lingered between the four of them. Reina didn't answer; the redhead noticed her clutch her hand into a fist.

"Youji - never was a heavy sleeper. That's why it happens..." The three blinked at her, unable to understand how the eldest member's sleeping habit tied into the so called `night terrors' he was experiencing. The dark-blond turned around to face them.

"You see, I..." She paused, staring passed her brother's co-workers, eyeing someone just standing behind them. Her eyes narrowed, anger forming quickly on her face; she marched towards Ken and Aya. Ken panicked, wondering what he had done now, but she passed by him and Aya, stopping in front of someone very familiar. Ken's eyes widened as the recognition hit him.

"You!!" Reina growled out, a most deadly and menacing glare on her face; the man she was standing in front of stared at her with a slightly nervous look.

"Ms. Reina..."

"Surprised to see me, Mr. Crawford!! And that Ms. Kudou to you!!" Crawford swallowed, not daring to speak to her.

"Ano, Reina-san? You know him?" Omi came up to her side, a worried look on his face. It shouldn't be a surprise that one of their enemies should be popping up once in a while, but to have a person who knew nothing about them know an enemy - was a different story. Reina nodded her head, still keeping a deathly glare directed at the Schwarz's leader.

"Crawford is an overseas business partner - soon to be ex-partner if doesn't start getting things to me on time!!"

"I've been busy! I haven't had time to write up the report!!" Crawford tried to use his height to his advantage, towering over the slightly shorter woman; but Reina merely stared at him, arms across her chest.

"What the hell is taking up your time?!"

"I'm afraid that's something I can't quite tell you that, Ms. Kudou!!" He added a hint of sarcasm on her name. Reina's temper flared; uncrossing her arms she raised a hand up about to bring it down when a scream down the hall distracted them. Reina spun around on her heels, seeing that she had moved fairly faraway from the room where her brother was.

"Otooto!!" Reina ran down the hall, following after Ken, Omi and Aya who all had already gotten a head start. Crawford blinked as he watched Reina race down the hall; the curiosity getting the better of him, he followed after them, carefully peering into the room seeing Reina holding who looked to be Balinese from Weiss in her arms.

"What happened?!" Ken yelled at the nurse unintentionally, frightening the woman only a little bit.

"I don't know! I noticed he fell asleep so I closed the curtains to darken the room! I didn't think it would bother him, I didn't... gomen nasai!" Ken looked at the nurse, then to Omi, who looked over to Reina. The older woman looked between the two, holding her sobbing brother in her arms, one hand gently running through his hair. Reina looked down at Youji's arm, eyeing semi-deep scratches; the blond spoke in between sobs.

"Please, don't let them put out the lights!! The lights should never be off... never!!"

"Shh, it's okay. I promise they won't turn the lights off, I promise. Shh, it's okay - she gone now. Shh..." Youji continued on crying, while Reina gently rocked him, hand running through his hair; the other assassins watched unsure of what to do and feeling - a little helpless.

Crawford stood at the door, taking in the whole scene and tried to make sense of it. All four Weiss members in a hospital, one apparently disoriented, being cradled by an overseas partner who had called the ill member brother. Crawford only stood there, waiting for the trauma to pass.

~~~~*~~~~
