Reviewers! Love ya all! *glomps* I'm happy you people like it. But I'm a little sad that the number of visits to the fic at mediaminer.org is being less and less with each chappie, will that happen to "Don't Cry" too? *sighs*, anyway, I'm gonna finish this fic even if nobody reads it. Today I'm giving little SchuSchus to all the reviewers. And the thanks go to Hikari (Arigato gozaimashita! *glomps* You lazy person.. You have me waiting for a new chappie of Haunting now that it was getting all interesting and with KenKen doing those weird things! And the AyaOmi there's so kawaii ^^ [the only Weiss member I tolerate to see Aya with is Omi, and viceversa]. Poor Yotan and Ken!! *hands her chibi Yotans and Kens too*. Yeah, RanRan's gonna have problems... again arigato for reviewing!! *hugs*), Airienn de Puck (Ay ke ve! Mira ke paresia ke eramos pokita gente española por aki y resulta ke estamos por tos laos!! Mushas gracias por dejarme un review hija! *un abrasho* Po me parese ke por ahora el Yotan va a sufri mucho [le van a hace "de sufrí] al pobresito mio... y es ke Aya no es un capullo, es un peaso cabron! Y ya se vera... *añade otra colleja estilo Sole de 7 Vidas* Creo ke en castellano hay muy pocos, no se, nunca me parao a mirar. Pero tia me pasa igual ke a ti, ke ya de tanto leer y escribir en ingles ya no se ni en ke idioma pienso [tardaria mucho rato en contar las cosas ke pueden pasar cuando estas hablando con alguien en español y pensando en ingles al mismo tiempo]. Weno hija muchas gracias por leer el fic y espero ke te siga gustando! [ah! weno, Schu va soltando alguna ke otra cosilla...]), Whisper Reilman (Domo Arigato!! *glomps* I'm sorry I haven't emailed you! I received the first chappie and am all happy with it, you did a great work! *feels asshamed of herself that you had to work so much on the chapter* I can't upload it yet though, cuz I can't enter into my Hotmail account to save it *sighs*. Hehe it seems that I can't stay away from always putting some SchuKen! Again arigato! ^^), Todou Higiri (Arigato!! *glomps* My hotmail account's gone crazy so I couldn't email you again, but if ya still wanna be Don't Cry's beta I'll write to you from another one sometime this week *going crazy cuz she has to write a "Super Pig" article and has to watch that HORRIBLE anime and look for information*), Lucifer morningstar (Mushas gracias a ti por seguir leyendo! *glomps* I'm really sorry it took me this long to do this chappie! *sighs*. About Yotan, he's being pathetic, but since lots of people who have that illness act like that, I finally decided he should do that. Ken gave me some trouble to write, it's being hard to write him. In next chapter there'll be some more Omi and Nagi, and there'll be more misterious things, but some revelations too. There'll be more Ran soon too. He's being all evil, but I agree with you that it's rather understandable, and for his character I think he would act like that. And Schu... this chapter shows something about that. Las gracias te las tengo ke dar yo a ti por leer y komentar mi fic!! *glomps again* Espero ke te guste el kapi!)

And I'll give little Schus and thanks to all the people who reads and doesn't say anything (even if that looks like they're less people each time *goes all teary eyed*)!

Now I have a betareader *glomps Whisper-san*, so when I get everything in order I'll start uploading the revised chapters.

Chapter 4. Ready to go back home.

Ken let himself fall onto the leather couch he had come to hate with all his heart. He was exhausted. He hadn't rested since Youji fell ill, and the few hours he had slept, he had been sedated, and it didn't make any good to his body.

He was also bored, and felt terribly alone.

In those days, they had received the visits of Omi (who gave him clean clothes and a CD player) and Aya, who never stayed there for a long time and couldn't even be considered as company.

Most of the nights he had been there alone, except for two nights Omi had stayed with him.

That night he was alone with Youji in the bedroom since the man of the other bed had died the day before.

His entire body was sore as hell. Ken lifted an arm and sniffed, then turned his face in disgust. I reek! He hadn't taken a shower since they came from that mission.

The brunette reached out with his hand to caress the blonde's face. He traced his nose and his lips gently with a finger. He didn't have to use the tubs to breathe anymore. Ken was really happy that they were going home the next day.

"Really? I thought he was being sent to another place!" a mocking voice said from behind him.

"He's not going anywhere!" Ken turned his head to look at the owner of the too familiar voice. "Y-you, Schuldig!" he closed his hands into fists. "Get out! We can't fight here!"

The German pouted "I'm not here to fight kitty!"

Ken looked up at him, stopping at his head, noticing that he wasn't wearing the glasses over the yellow bandana.

He knew what that meant.

No glasses meant No danger. Glasses meant fight.

"Then WHAT are you doing here?"

The redhead made himself confortable sitting on the couch and grinning at him "Katsu and the others said they hadn't seen you in the longest time, so this sexy self came to investigate what's happening to our friend Hidaka"

"Well, now you know where I am, you can leave me alone already. And I'm not YOUR friend" Ken scowled at him and glared at best as he could (that wasn't much to say the truth). Seeing that the German's smirk only grew wider, he looked away and yawned tiredly.

"So? What do I say to them?"

"Tell them the truth, that my boyfriend is ill. Now get out of here." he murmured still not looking at the older man, paying more atention to Youji's face.

He didn't see it, but he could almost feel Schuldig pout. "Hidoi.." he sang "You're not nice to visits."

"I'm not, so now get out of here."

"Why? You're bored, and I've proved it to you enough times that I'm good company" he said stirring like a cat as best as he could in such little space that was the leather couch, grinning at the sight of the bright blush in Ken's face.

Ken finally turned bloodshot eyes at him. "Please" he said miserably. "Don't -"

"Bah" Schuldig interrupted him "do us a favor and go take a shower, I'll give you a massage and sing a lullably afterwards if you ask nicely"

"You can keep the massage and the lullably for yourself, or do you think I'm stupid enough to do that and leave you alone with my Youji?"

"You wound me" the German rolled his eyes. "You know I don't like blondies, I prefer cute brunettes with a tigh little ass and soccer legs" he whispered, his hand caressing Ken's leg to make what he said more obvious (if that was possible).

Ken jumped out of the sofa the momment Schuldig put a hand on him, sitting quickly in the bed. "Do you want to wake him up or what?!" he murmured, sighing in relief when he noticed that Youji was still sleeping calmly.

"You're no fun. Let's put things this way. You have two options. You go take a shower by yourself while I watch over your boyfriend" /And I'll take a peek (or two) at you while you're there, you can be sure of that/ "or I drag you there and don't care about the consecuences. What do you chose?" he asked with his biggest smirk.

Ken snorted "Okay! I'll go but you DON'T move from here! And don't you fucking dare t-"

Schuldig laughed "I won't do anything to him kitten, now go"

Schuldig's laugh followed him.

It looks like the kitty doesn't know that Abyssinian has everything prepared... This will be fun...

.::.::.::.::.

"I wonder how you got Ken's aproval for this... We talked this morning and he was totally against it." Manx arched an eyebrow suspiciously, there was something Aya wasn't telling her, and she wanted to know. "How did you change his mind?"

"He's against this as much as he was before or even more."

"So?"

Aya glanced at her, stopping the paperwork for a momment and shrugged slightly. Then he came back to what he was doing.

Manx just stared at him for a few seconds and decided that she didn't care for what was going to happen. In fact, she was looking forward to it.

Kritiker didn't want Youji there. He wasn't useful anymore, so the sooner they got rid of him, the sooner Weiss would be working properly, and if Aya was going to help them make things faster, they weren't going to complain.

.::.::.::.::.

A few minutes later Ken got out of the bathroom, his hair still damp but not driping water and some clean clothes on. "Happy now?" he asked the German tiredly.

Schuldig nodded. "Yeah." He said placing a cigarette between his lips.

That made Ken's anger flare up. "DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE TO SHOW THAT SHIT IN MY PRESENCE!!" he yelled taking the cigarette and the box from the redhead's hands and throwing it to the floor.

Then he stomped his feet on them, breaking the cigarettes, took them from the floor, opened the window and threw them outside.

The brunette glared at Schuldig. "You-"

"Look, you woke him up" he said pointing to Youji, who had opened his eyes and was looking around sleepily.

"K'so!" he ran towards the blonde's side and sat there, his hand caressing his face tenderly.

"..'suuka?" Youji murmured sleepily.

"Sorry... it's nothing, go back to sleep Yotan...".

Youji opened his mouth slightly to say something more, but then he yawned and fell asleep again.

When he was sure that Youji wasn't going to wake up again, Ken kissed his forehead and turned to glare at Schuldig again. Are you stupid or what? He yelled into the redhead's head. What could have happened if he saw you? How do I explain that?! And he needs to rest!! And I need that too so-

"Come here." Schuldig ordered ordered pointing to his lap as he twisted his body a little so they would be more confortable.

Ken was too tired to argue so he did as told and let his body drop there. The brunette let his back rest against the redhead's chest and didn't even complain when a pair of strong arms wraped around his body loosely, Schuldig's hands resting on his stomach, holding him close but letting him put away if he wanted to. He stifled a yawn and let the back of his head touch the other man's shoulder and stay there.

Even if the shower made wonders to his tired body, it wasn't enough.

He was tired, and needed the comfort, the warmth of another person. He needed Youji, but he couldn't have him. Not now. He felt so alone, so lost...

"And since you're feeling so alone, I'm gonna give you some company" he said with a grin that Ken didn't see, but didn't need to see it either.

He tilted his head up slightly to look into the German's eyes "Schuldig" he said, his voice barely a whisper.

"Nani?"

"Could you do what you did that time I took drugs and was all nervous? It helped me fall asleep that time." he said with a slight blush coloring his cheeks.

"... 'kay..."

Schuldig's right hand lifted Ken's shirt a little so it could enter in contact with the smooth skin of his stomach and massage it. He started tracing little circles with his fingers gently, and noticed how Ken relaxed almost inmediately when he did that. But he also noticed that there was something odd there. "Ne, kitty" he said breaking the comfortable silence "Are you eating a lot lately or are you having stomach problems?"

"Hn?" Ken blinked up at him sleepily.

"I asked you if you were getting fat or are sick"

"No... it's just that I've been nervous lately with Youji's illness and it affected my stomach."

"And does it hurt?" he asked stopping the massage "Perhaps you should talk to a doctor so they give you something to get better"

"Yeah, a little... but don't stop, it feels better when you do that"

Schuldig laughed at him again and resumed the movement, his touch even gentler than before. Ken tried to stiffle another yawn.

"Are you going to let Abyssinian send Youji to a clinic?" he asked softly, not wanting to break the brunette's relaxation.

Ken looked up at him confused, somehow getting out of his calmed state and pulled out from Schuldig's embrace "No! Wh- what are-? I've already said that Youji will stay with me!"

"Shhh... easy there Ken.." he whispered pulling Ken to him again.

A couple minutes later Ken spoke again, so softly that Schuldig had to make an effort to hear it. "They want to get rid of him. He's totally useless now, they say." Ken allowed Schuldig's free hand to hold his. "Manx came today and said that Kritiker promised to send Youji to a good clinic where he could do rehabilitation and in a few years he would be almost normal. But that's a lie. They would make sure that he doesn't live or get better so he wouldn't talk about Kritiker." His voice trembled a little as he talked. Ken shook his head when he noticed that Schuldig was going to kiss him. "Don't." Schuldig understood and instead gave him a little peck on the cheek. The soccer player sighed heavily and continued talking. "There's also Abyssinian. For some reason he's trying to make Youji dissapear. I don't understand why. I don't know what we've done to Aya for him to act this way. But you know, I don't think HE'll do that. I expect it from Kritiker, but not from my teammate. It looks like Omi's the only one that supports me a little, and I can't ask anything from him since he has his own problems, and it looks like something is happening to him latel-" he yawned loudly again, his eyes trying to close even if he didn't want them to. He wanted to sleep, but he didn't want to be alone.

But Schuldig was warm, the massage felt so nice and he was so fucking tired that he finally fell asleep against his will.

Schuldig kept on caressing the brunette's stomach for a few more minutes until he got up, carefully placing Ken on the couch in the most confortable way he could and covered him with a blanket Omi brought at one of his visits.

He took a last look at the two sleeping figures and left the room, closing the door carefully not to wake anyone.

.::.::.::.::.

The next morning, a more rested Ken prepared everything to go home since the doctors had given their approval. He was happy that they were going to leave the hospital.

"Ne, Yotan!" he said with a grin, catching the blonde's attention.

Youji turned his face, tilting his head slightly to the side as he looked at Ken, who was holding two different pairs of slacks. "...'hn?"

"Which ones do you wanna wear?"

The blonde just blinked at him as a nurse removed the needle from his arm and finished checking on him.

"Well, I guess that the black ones will be better, they're bigger than the grey ones... yeah.. and they'll go with that shirt..."

"Konnichiwa Ken-kun!!" Omi greeted as he entered the room "Konnichiwa Youji-kun!!" he greeted Youji too with a big smile.

Youji reacted as he had been doing every time someone came to see him since he fell ill. He started to cry like a little kid. "Youji-kun! C'mon don't cry!" he put a hand on the older man's face. "I know! I'll brush your hair so Ken-kun can continue doing whatever he has to, 'kay?" He took the lack of a response as a yes and went to the bathroom to take the hairbrush.

With the nurse and Omi's help, Ken finished dressing Youji. So now they just had to wait until there was a free ambulance that would get them home.

His face lit up when another nurse opened the door and announced that everything was ready and they would be leaving in a few minutes.

tsu zu ku...

And another chappie done! Sorry for being so slow though! *hides*

This chapter gave me a headache, but it's finally done! But I'm not happy with it. It just sucks.

I just didn't want Schuldig to appear this soon and treat Ken like this. But when I started writing, it came like this. And deleted nearly the entire chapter and wrote it again three times and i'm still not happy with it. In the first version, Schu was all tender with Ken (a lot more than in what you have read). In the second one, Ken kicked him out of the room.

About their "friendship", it will be told later.

In next chapter, we'll see Youji's home arrival, some more of Omi and Nagi and how life is changing in Weiss' house.

Until then, I think I'm not asking too much, will you leave me a comment? Ideas, opinions, dead threats and all are welcomed. Oh! If anyone is gonna send the review by email, please do it at anna_hibiki@yahoo.es , for some reason I can't get into Hotmail lately.
