To Destroy the One You Love

Chapter 17: Lost and Found

Pairing: Yohji/Aya/Yohji; Schuldig/Yohji (one sided)

Rated: Pg13-ish (For swearing mostly)

Warnings: Strongly implied yaoi, non-con, and a swearing >_>;

Legal stuff: Well... I think it's obvious but I'll state it anyway. I don’t own them! Please don't sue me? I'm poor... seriously...>_>;;

Author notes: I don’t think I like the way this chapter came out. At all. It just doesn’t seem to fit with the others or mesh well with my usual writing style. My deepest apologies if it’s total crap.

You see, this chapter was particularly painful to write and maybe it’s just because it’s so Ken-centric and I’m not used to writing Ken but... who knows? Oh! (More bellow…)

Thanks to: (see below) -----

Ken blinked. "Eh?"

"We think Schwartz kidnapped Yohji and faked his death." The soccer player blinked once more and Omi could just SEE the information slowly processing through the older man's internal hard drive.

"Why would-"

"-I don't know. Aya -I mean Ran... bumped into Mastermind while he was out the other day and that fucking German gave him reason enough to believe that Yohji was still alive and in his possession."

Ken arched an eyebrow at little Omi’s swearing. It’d actually be kind of cute if it wasn’t so disturbing --like Hello Kitty® with a nine-inch blade…

"So why keep all this from Kritker?" Ah, Siberian found the flaw in Bombay’s flow of logic.

"Kritiker would no doubt think we were suffering from delusions of grief and would probably quarantine us for our "own safety". We don't have TIME to be quarantined. If Schwartz really does have Yohji then we have to act fast before they do any real damage to him."

Ken nodded, "So what do you want me to do?"

"Start making some coffee."

And once more, the brunette stared blankly. How was coffee gonna-

"The coffee is for ME, Ken-kun."

"Oh." The jock glanced towards the door, "With or without cream?"

"Without."

There was something morbidly interesting about watching fellow assassins pace a room with the thickest intent of homicide on their minds -and not just homicide directed at the enemy either. Between Omi and Ran existed a nearly tangible thread of unease, aggravation and distrust.

To anyone with working senses it became fairly obvious that they were hiding something of great proportions -even Ken had noticed, though he did not question it. Not from a lack of wanting to know, mind you, but more from a lack of an opportune moment. Or rather, the fact that Aya-chan was sitting right next to him wondering the same thing he was. What the hell was going on?

"Ken-kun." Aya-chan whispered, prodding the brunette in his ribs with a single finger.

"What?"

"Why are they... doing that?"

"Doing what?" Ken attempted to give the best innocent façade he knew how to -which wouldn't have fooled a three-year-old. The man just wasn't good at feigning ignorance... or anything for that matter. If he knew something, it showed. If he didn't... well, it showed and in that aspect, Ken was a simple man. To no one’s surprise, Aya-chan just happened to find that a very respectable trait... if not an exceedingly handy one in this particular situation.

"Don't play dumb, why are they pacing like that?" Her whisper had grown impatient as she showed signs of losing her cool already. Since Yohji's alleged death Aya-chan had become a little snappier with them all -Ken figured that maybe "anger" was just the way a Fujimiya dealt with death. Lord knows Ran had enough anger for them all...

"Something came up and they're trying to fix it." The assassin offered, only to have his offer met with a look that did not bode well for his existence.

"Aya-chan."

"Hai?" The girl's dark blue eyes drifted Ken to Ran, sparkling with small traces of her own aggravation. To her, it seemed as if life had gone on a completely nonsensical route in the matter of a week, and it was all thanks to the worker bees of the Koneko. The boys had (for some reason) decided to close the shop and spend all their time down in the basement working on some classified project that she didn't get to be apart of. It was like grade school all over again - complete with dumb boys and their secret clubs that clearly stated: No girls allowed.

"Don't you have study group to be at?" Evidently Ran had been elected vice president of the "boys only" clique.

"You’re such a jerk, Ni-san!" Aya-chan hissed, rising to her feet in order to march herself away from the card-holding blockheads of the stinky boy's club.

A small pause and a collective blink later, the apparent offenders watched their female companion storm up the stairs and out of the room with no base for her words or anger. What the...?

"Did she really just-"

"-Not now Ken-kun."

"Well……fine then."

And as if nothing had just interrupted them, Omi and Ran continued their pacing (or rather, their circling of each other like a pair of canines trapped in an illegal dogfight) while Ken resumed his watching of them –taking bets against himself to see who would drop first. They were all restless, running on only caffeine and sheer will to help them through the days - it was a miracle they hadn’t already killed each other. What with Yohji becoming harder and harder to locate.

Ken slumped further into his seat and sighed once more -hating the grim outlook on their predicament. Why did it seem like each try they gave, a bigger let down would follow? Shifting in his place, the brunette started to wonder if Schuldig hadn’t just lied to Ran about holding Yohji hostage. If maybe he was, in fact, simply toying with them to get them worked up over nothing.

If maybe…Yohji really was-

"--KEN!" the assassin snapped out of his musings with a start.

"What?"

"Can you get the phone?"

On cue, said phone reported itself again -causing Ken jump to his feet, run up the stairs and into the shop before picking up the receiver without even the slightest indication of forced effort. Normal people may have been out of breath by the time they finished what Ken had just done but Hidaka was a fantastically exquisite and marvelously well-trained professional. Not so easily winded by the normal --

"Hello! Thank you for calling Koneko sume ie -this is Hidika Ken speaking, how may I help you?" A long pause on the other end answered the greeting and for a fraction of a second Ken wasn't sure if it was a prank call or not. The caller’s breathing was heavily steady and it almost seemed as if they hadn’t heard him or… maybe they were just waiting for the right moment to--

"Hello?" Ken prompted again, half hoping it was some punk kid he could swear at for a few minutes as a form of stress relief. God knows how he’d love to just chew an unsuspecting kid a new--

"Central Metropolitan Tower. Apartment 1010 D." And then the line was dead.

"Hello?" Ken drew his eyebrows together in frustration. What the hell was -wait. That voice! He KNEW that voice from... somewhere.

Searching his mind for a brief second, Siberian wrote down the address only stare at the paper and the writing scrawled across it. That particular building wasn't terribly far from the Koneko but... why would someone just call and give him the address to--

"OMI!" Ken burst into motion -dashing back down the metal stairs at an alarming rate while making his way towards the location that the youngest and second oldest members of Weiss were brooding in last. "OMI! OMI! RAN!" Both heads snapped to attention at the shouting, tensed by the noise and apprehension in Ken's voice.

"What?" Bombay chided, having no time for interruption games.

"I found Yohji!"

Silence.

"Excuse me?"

"I. Found. Yohji."

AN (continued): I know that not a whole lot happened in this chapter and I’m sorry that I made you wait for so long just to come to this chapter and have to wait again. But don’t fear, the next chapter will be a little more productive than this and since it’s mostly done… it shouldn’t take me THAT long to bloody look it over, finish it and send it to my beta reader. Thanks again to all of those who have stuck with me this far, you guys are awesome! And now that the general apology and thank you are over… on to the personal thank yous… and apologies. Lol

ShinigamiSeiji - Oh you know, I'm trying to work on producing these chapters faster but life constantly gets in the way >.<! I barely see my computer and when I do... I'm so tired that I can only manage to check my mail before passing out. Pretty lame huh? lol

AolaniDathomir - Oh, I DID fall off the map but I somehow found my way back in time to post lol. I'm glad to hear you like my style and I'm sorry if this latest chapter discredits me any >.>;;; it's not my best work. At all, in fact. ^^;;; ah well, I'll still keep writing as much as I can until I feel the story is finished.

Sky Rat - Lol Farf was actually a mesh of ideas between Nix ( PinkWhirlWind ) and myself over dinner. She should get more credit than me for the way he's written ^^;;; but thanks all the same.

Sira - Oh dear, i'm sorry I'm not very speedy with updates. I try to be but I have a lot on my plate right now, thanks for being patient and continuing to read off and on anyway. I really appreciate it.

moimoi-chan - No worries! Next chapter he will be rescued... sorta lol XD

Skippys Cat - Oh you know you love teasers XD! Ummm as I told everyone else, I'll pump these out as best I can but between sitting through ten hour photo shoots, working on my online comic and everything else... it gets harder and harder to be speedy. @_@ No worries though, if nothing else I have every intent on finishing it so you can rest easy knowing that much, ne? lol

Rosemarykiss - If you think he's a mess now, wait until later >.>;

Uke_Eiri - Much luv for you ^__^ yay for Weiss Cosplay!

Moon without a Sun - Wooot! Update XD! I = heart you too :D!!! I'm so happy to hear this is your favorite story so far, it really encourages me to continue this as much as I can.

RosaleenDhu - You know, it's truly an honor to know that you find this an addicting story. I'm a rather big fan of your work so I feel extremely complimented to know that you like TDTOYL, so… thank you. As for the errors... I should probably go back and fix them at some point but I have the hardest time finding them. I have a beta reader but apparently she doesn't catch the mistakes either, which leaves me at somewhat of a disadvantage. I'll try to keep a closer eye the chapters as they come and thank you again for reading and enjoying.
