"Great! It seems you too will get along just fine."

The sheer odds of it where statically impossible; and the irony of it didn't escape Yohji one bit.

"Well I have to go prepare the nursery." Minako said between smiles. "The bus will be here any minute. You don't have to worry about the infants since they are my responsibility. The room looks nice, good job." She finished cheerfully as she left the room, leaving the two assassins alone.

There where a few seconds of silence; Yohji was the first to speak. "Schwartz" he hissed under his breath.

Schuldig's eyes widen a bit in a mocking manner. "Weiss" he replied with a smirk in

"What are you doing here?" Yohji asked still angry and on the defensive. He had left his weapon at home, just too risky around children. The telepath's smirk widened and Yohji felt a sort of tingling in the back of his head.

Schuldig blinked. "Interesting" he commented.

"What's interesting?" the blond replied, still angry.

"We have the same mission." Schuldig stated plainly.

"Same mission?" Yohji asked in disbelief.

Schuldig sighed, rolling his eyes and giving his back to the blond as he walked to a corner of the room and placed the toys he'd been holding in their respective places. Then he sat on top of one of the small circled tables that where all over the room. "I'm supposed to babysit my bosses kid; just like you have to babysit your bosses kid." The redhead revealed.

Yohji instantly glared. "And I'm supposed to believe that?" he replied. "Do you know the odds of it being the same kid?!"

"Whoever said it was the same kid?" Schuldig asked back.

Yohji actually thought for a bit. "Are you telling me that kids from both Esset and Kritiker go to the same nursery?!" he asked with slight disbelief.

"It certainly seems so." Was the only replied the Weiss assassin got.

Yohji frowned. "That's a load of bullshit." He commented.

Schuldig just shrugged. "Believe what you want; it's still the truth."

Yohji opened his mouth to reply but was quickly interrupted by the German. "Here they come."

Schuldig stood from the table and Yohji slowly turned around as a small mass of kids burst through the door followed by Minako.

They were screaming. All of them.

"I want a cookie!"

"Where's Kaede?"

"I need to go to the bathroom!"

"Who moved my doll?"

Minako hurdled them together with an amazing skill and grouped them all together between Yohji and Schuldig.

"Quiet! Please everyone lower your voices." She ordered calmly and amazingly the kids obeyed. A small head count made Yohji realize that there where a total of eight children in the room. Five girls and three boys. Another quick headcount identified the one he had to protect.

"Where's Kaede?" one of the girls asked again. Minako smiled at all of them. "As you guys remember, yesterday we had a farewell party for Kaede and Tanya since they went to work on their new jobs. That means that today we greet our new friends that will be taking care of you from now on." She informed cheerily. "Now, everybody grab the hand of the person closest to you and stand side by side in a straight line." She ordered; and as the kids followed the instructions she glanced at both Schuldig and Yohji and signaled at them to stand in front of the group. Once there Yohji could feel the gaze of many little eyes directed at him.

"Ok." Minako said, raising her voice slightly. Let's start from the right. She walked the few steps over to the child on the farthest right. The young girl with semi long black hair smiled at her as her glasses emphasized her dark eyes. "This is Andrea" Minako introduced her; then moved one step forward over to the next kid; another girl. "This is Lina." She said as the girl with reddish-blond hair smile back. She repeated the process, introducing them all. A boy with short blond hair. "Yuki." Another girl; this time with short brown hair. "Niki." Another boy with flamed hair very similar to Schuldig's. "Gil." A girl with black hair set in curls. "Melissa." The last boy; one with straight dark hair with hints of what appeared to be blue. "Ryon." And the last girl; one with straight dirty blond hair. "Kyra."

That was her. That was the daughter of one of Kritiker's main chief's.

"Everyone." Minako proclaimed, making sure her voice carried over the small crowd. "This is Yohji and this is Schuldig" she said pointing to each of the boys. "Let's all say hi to them. Hi Yohji! Hi Schuldig!"

"Hi Yohji!" They all chorused at the same time. "Hi Sch…"

Most of the kids didn't even try to finish the German's name. The just stammered around it, falling wrong on the pronunciation. Yohji spared a glance at the telepath to find that the other had a very bored and annoyed look on is face.

"C'mon kids. You can do it. Repeat after me…Schuldig."

They tried again. Mostly just reaching the first syllable…Schu…

One kid repeated it twice, trying to get the name right…SchuSchu

It caught on; spreading over all the children; their small voices started to rise louder and louder. "Just like a train!" one yelled. That's when the chorus started. SchuSchuSchuSchuSchuSchuSchuSchuSchuSchu…

Yohji glance at Schuldig and saw the look of horror on the German's face at the nickname being sung by a bunch of screaming five year olds. Then the German turned angry emerald eyes at the blond. {"If you ever tell anyone about this Kudou, I'll kill you!"}

Yohji swallowed hard, trying to disguise the huge grin on his face, then slowly nodded.

Minako tried desperately to calm the altered crowd down and finally managed it after a minute. "Sorry Schuldig. I'm sure they'll get your name right by the end of the week." The redhead placed his best false smile at her. "Don't worry. It's fine. It really doesn't bother me."

{"Liar"} Yohji couldn't help but think.

{"Zip it Kudou!"}

Yohji grinned.

"But they're guys!" someone suddenly yelled.

"That doesn't matter" Minako replied.

"Are they gay?" another asked. Yohji's eyes widened a bit at the comment and he noticed how the German's left eye was twitching slightly. Please don't snap…please don't snap…mission…this is a mission…

"Niki!" Minako reprimanded the girl. "That's none of your business young lady." Minako's tone was perfect and Niki nodded slowly as she lowered her head a bit.

"Well; I think you guys can take it from here. The infants will be arriving any second now and I have to tend to them. Good luck guys."

Minako starting exiting the room and Yohji looked forward as he faced the firing squad.

Luck…he was sure going to need it.
