Chapter 6. Catching A Clue Or Two

He had two days before the mission and he was anxious. The only thing that kept him from panicking completely was the fact that he was utterly exhausted from hiding from Aya. As soon as his shift was over in the shop he bolted from the house and didn't return until late when he was sure everybody was asleep. He slept badly and was up at the crack of dawn to continue avoiding the redhead the best he could. So far Aya hadn't had a chance to talk to him and Ken could only hope that that would keep his friend alive during that damn mission. Tired and feeling pretty much like a jerk the brunette took off his jacket and strolled towards the stairs. There was another thing that bothered him. What if his failure to keep Aya alive had something to do with Yoji and Omi? Maybe he needed to accept them as well? Ken frowned and peeked into the living-room. The two blondes were sitting on the couch watching TV. I'll give it a try, the brunette decided and headed towards them. It could at least not make things worse and it would probably lighten the mood around the house.
"Hello Ken-kun," Omi said quietly. His two team-mates where sitting close but not so close that anyone would get the wrong idea.
"Hello Omi, Yoji." The lanky blonde nodded to him and then turned his attention back to the movie. Well here goes nothing. "Could you scoot over a little?" Ken asked and looked at Omi. The little blonde gave him a strange look but moved closer to Yoji. A shudder went through the youngest assassin as his leg pressed against the taller man's. Without a word Ken placed himself directly infront of the two. They were staring at him but he just stood there for a while. "Yoji give me your hand." Confused the lanky blonde did as he was told. Ken took his oldest team-mate by the wrist and placed his arm around Omi's shoulders. "There that's so much better don't you think?" he smiled and ignored the shocked expressions on their faces.
"Um what are you doing Ken?" Yoji asked and glanced at his own arm that was resting around the smaller blonde's shoulders. The brunette sank down on the couch and shrugged.
"You two look good together you shouldn't hide it." Omi's blue eyes widened and he was still looking very confused.
"Ken-kun?"
"Yeah?"
"You… you know?" Ken smiled and nodded. "But how?"
"Oh I have eyes you know. Besides, the doors here aren't as thick as you might think," the brunette answered slowly and leaned back. He might sound calm but the truth was that he had a hard time accepting the situation. Two males together was still wrong in his head but he had to accept it if he wanted to keep his friends and that was more important.
"You okay with this Ken?" Yoji asked and pulled his lover closer. No I'm not okay with this but what am I suppose to do about it? Ken sighed to himself.
"It gonna take some getting used to but who am I to stop you?" Ken rose again and bit his lip. "If you hurt him I'll kill you," he added softly. "That goes for you too Omi." Slowly he left the room and walked up the stairs. Well that hadn't gone too badly or at least Ken hoped it hadn't. When he reached the top of the stairs he carefully looked around to see if Aya was around. No sign of the redhead. With a sigh he went to his room to get some much needed sleep.

Things were diffrent on the mission. Yoji was more relaxed and Aya was joining the conversation. Maybe I got it right this time? Ken couldn't be sure but time would tell. Avoiding the redhead was taking the easy way out but he didn't really care as long as nobody died.
"Earth to Siberian," Yoji said and poked his team-mate in the side.
"Sorry I spaced out there."
"So I noticed," the blonde chuckled. Well at least he's a lot happier, the brunette sighed. "You and Abyssinian are gonna take out the targets on the fifth floor, okay?" Things were moving a long a little faster than the other times which might be a good thing.
"Okay. Let's go then Abyssinian." The redhead nodded and together they climbed the stairs. Ken could probably do that in his sleep or rather in his nightmares. That damn corridore still made him feel like throwing up. Like all the other times they stopped at the same place to wait for their targets, or in Ken's case the guards that were going to kill Aya.
"Why have you been avoiding me for two weeks?" The brunette bit down on his lip hard and swallowed. He hated lying but he had to make it look like that didn't have anything to do with the redhead.
"I've had a lot on my mind lately," Ken sighed and looked at his shoes. "I accidently found out that Yoji and Omi are lovers." Aya raised an eyebrow.
"I thought you knew." So they had told the redhead or maybe he had figured it out on his own?
"I didn't so I needed some time to myself to digest it," Ken mumbled and hoped no one was going to punish him for his lies.
"So you're okay with it?" the redhead asked softly.
"Pretty much. I mean they're Yoji and Omi, my friends, nothing's gonna change that, right?"
"I need to talk to you when we're done here." You can do anything you want to me if you just stay alive, Ken sighed to himself.
"Oh?" The brunette looked up from his shoes and winced slightly when he realized how close Aya was. Their faces almost touched and it was impossible for him to tear his eyes away from the redhead's. It happened in slowmotion but Ken did nothing to get away. Aya softly kissed him and the feeling it brought upon the brunette made him flinch.
"I'm sorry I…" the redhead immediately said and backed away. "I'm sorry." With another look at his team-mate Aya turned around and fled.
"No! Wait!" Ken called out but the other man was already gone. What the hell was that? he asked in his head and touched his lips. He had kissed Aya before but it had never felt like that and he wasn't so sure he liked it at all since it was very confusing.
"Siberain, Abyssinian, watch your backs I just saw several guards heading upstairs." Ken snapped out of his thoughts when he heard Omi's voice.
"Copy that Bombay but we have a problem."
"Problem?"
"Um yes, Abyssinian isn't here."
"What do you mean he's not there?" Omi barked and Ken could hear him say something to the other blonde. He was just about to answer when a very familier clatter reached his ears.
"NOOOO!!" the brunette screamed in panic. "Aya no." His voice turned to a whisper as he started running down the corridore not really caring that he was putting himself in danger. "Please don't let him die again, not now." His movements stopped suddenly and he fell to the floor. Aya was dead again, shot at close range, ripped to shreds by countless bullets. Slowly Ken crawled over to the redhead and placed his friend's head on his lap. "I'm so sorry Aya. It should be me instead of you. I'm so very sorry," the brunette cried as he lovingly stroke away blood soked hair from his team-mate's face. The beautiful pale face was painted in crimson and the amethyst eyes were staring blankly at nothing. "I'm not gonna let this happen again, I'm not." Ken pressed his forehead against Aya's as he cried harder. "This is the fourth time you die because I'm so fucking stupid. Please someone just help me get this right. I don't want him to die, I love him." A sudden sound caused Ken to turn around. He never even had a chance to react before a loud bang shot through the air and everything turned black.

Oh great now they both died? *scratches head* Will Fate step in again or is this it??? And just what did Ken mean when he said that he loves Aya? We'll just have to wait and see ne? Ja/Atsureki
