"Why do you like him?"

Yohji blinked and looked up from the book he had been courteously given to read during the times that no one was around to humor him with company. Not that he minded a book to the company of Schwartz members, it was just sometimes human contact felt necessary... even if it WAS with the people you feared and distrusted the most.

"Who?"

"You know who, don't play games." Schuldig bit out the words, frowning at the lighter assassin sitting so calmly on the bed with that feigned look of ignorance.

The German was not in a good mood today. He hadn't been in a good mood since he came back yesterday with a bruise developing on his jawbone. Someone had hit him while he was out doing whatever it was that Schwartz did on their off season, not that Yohji was surprised mind you. Someone was long since past due to hit the cocky sonofabitch, the blond was just a little sour that it wasn't HIM who had been given the opportunity.

"Why do you want to know?" The book was set aside on the (still) bland comforter, forgotten like the pair of shoes he had shoved under the bed in frustration a couple of days ago. Shoes were meant to be used outside of a living establishment, as far as Yohji could tell he wasn't leaving his current living establishment any time soon. Which left the shoes as something of an irritating mockery and so, needless to say, after a few days of staring at them, they were unceremoniously shoved under the bed and forgotten.

"Mein Gott, just fucking tell me already." Yeah, Schu was in a really bad mood.

The white kitten mimicked his captor's frown and shifted, looking down at the pair of blue jeans he had been lent during his stay there. They were comfortable and slightly worn like the grey button up shirt he was wearing. Something suspiciously told him these were Schuldig's clothes, though he never bothered to question it.

"I don't-"

"Yes you do so don't start with that "I don't know" crap."

One fine eyebrow arched itself as paler green eyes raised to meet with the darker set. Pissy much? A sigh escaped his lips and he hardened his expression. Despite how nice Schuldig had been up until this point, the man was STILL his enemy and he needed to keep a fine distance between them.

"It's none of your business."

And with that the redhead was on his feet, across the room and threatening Yohji's personal space before the lanky assassin even had a chance to exhale. He had all but forgotten about that unnaturally fast speed Schuldig possessed until the German was in his face, holding a glare that promised certain death. This attitude was exactly the opposite of what the telepath had been displaying during his whole stay there, and it was scary.

"I'm this close," Schuldig held up two fingers only centimeters apart to emphasize his point, "to losing my temper. So now would not be the best time to start pulling your shitty attitude with me, Kodou, unless you want to wake up three days from now with the worst fucking migraine you've ever experienced."

Yohji's eyes grew slightly wider than normal, "Who pissed in YOUR cheerios?"

The German's right eye twitched and he slammed his hands violently against the wall on either side of Yohji’s head, closing the other in with his body. The blond really DID have a death wish and it was, unfortunately for him, shinning through brilliantly just then.

"I said don't push me." The words were dark and laced with the promise of violence, the very violence which was visibly bubbling just bellow the surface of Schuldig. Yohji decided to cut the crap in favor of his life.

"Because he's just like me."

The darker of the two stared at the speaker blankly and the ex-P.I. took that as a good sign that maybe elaboration was called for at this point.

"We, he and I... we're the same. We both have lost people very close to us and we both would do anything it takes to protect the ones we love. We..." Yohji swallowed hard, pressing himself against the wall to put space between himself and his enemy, "We're both tainted killers who wear masks which were set up to keep people at a distance so we won’t hurt them and so they... so they can't hurt us. Illusions built because we understand it's necessary to go on living. I -I guess I love him because-"

"Enough." Schuldig said, eyes narrowed. "You're romanticized bullshit is making me sick."

If there was one thing Yohji could have wished for in that moment, it would have been for his watch. Schuldig was going to kill him and he wanted at least a chance at defending himself.

"He doesn't love you -he fucking hates your guts, Yohji, and what's worse is you KNOW it. Why do you bother?" Well, at least the German was talking instead of ripping him apart right away. "Do you want to know how I really got you here?" Then again, maybe the talking wasn’t such a hot idea either.

"I took Aya-chan away for a few days then told Ran if he didn't hand you over, I was going to kill her. You should have seen the laughter in his eyes when I told him I wanted to trade her for you. He was MORE than happy to hand your stupid ass over because you're worthless to him. In his eyes, you're less than the ground he walks on so WHY do you insist on caring about him even now?"

The words were a little too much for Yohji to digest in one sitting. Aya was the one who...?

"Yes. He was the one who wrecked your car, pulled you from the accident then handed you over all tied up on a silver platter. The only thing he cares about in this whole fucked up world is his precious little sister."

It hurt. It really really hurt to hear someone finally tell the truth. The pain seeped out from the depths of Balinese’s mind and the despair he had been fighting was finally beginning to blacken any hope he had for survival. Schuldig loved it. Yohji's sorrow was so much sweeter than any sugar created by man or nature. He was addicted and he needed more.

"I guess..." The smile on the blond's face disrupted the flow of pain, breaking it with forced optimism. It was a dying man's last reach for a life preserver, "I guess I can't really blame him; Aya-chan is a great girl. If I were him... I would have probably done the same." Aya-chan was like Yohji's little sister and he loved her as such. So many good memories were tied to her, so many bright and happy thoughts came from the memories of the time he spent in her company. Yes, he would have sacrificed everything for her too... she was worth it.

Schuldig's glare grew four times more lethal. Apparently that was not the response he was looking for.

"You fucking idiot." Teeth were bared and a growl was forced out through a clenched jaw in a hiss. It became quickly obvious that Schuldig was barely containing himself. Yeah, Yohji was a dead man. "He betrayed you and you're just going to sit here and tell me you forgive him?"

Yohji sighed once more. He really wished he could have at least seen Ran and Aya-chan one last time, "I guess so."

"Wrong answer."

And then, his vision gave out.
