Weiss Kreuz Fan Fiction ❯ Undistinguished UnderScore ❯ Shadows Watch ( Chapter 8 )

The sun was already setting and the evening stars beginning to expose there light in the darker growing sky by the time Ken got back to the shop and even then, Zeva still accompanied him. They laughed joyfully as they walked down the side walk together, everything around them distant. Even the mentally scaring images of Zeva's family's death had pushed themselves back to where she was fully able to enjoy herself with Ken. They finally came to a stop in front of the flower shop, Ken looked around and smiled.

"Well..this is my stop. Are you sure you don't want me to walk you home?"

"Hai Ken-Chan, I'll be fine. I only a few blocks away." She smiled gently as she peered into Ken's soft eyes.

"Alright.." There was a slight awkwardness among them and Ken slowly turned to go inside.

"Ano..Ken-Chan..?"

Ken quickly spun back around "Hai?"

"Would you like to do something later on this week?"

Ken's face lit up and he walked back to stand in front of Zeva, he gently took her slender hands in his firm, masculine yet soft hands and stared into her deep emerald eyes that seemed to have no end to there emotion.

"Hai Zeva-Chan, I'd like that a lot."

Zeva laced her fingers with Ken's and peered into his dark eyes. She could feel he was hiding something from her, but she didn't know what nor was she going to pry at him to tell her. She closed her eyes and began to lean in, Ken saw what she expected and slowly began to lean in with her.

"Ken.."

Ken's eye's shot open, and he back away from Zeva and turned to look at the firm face of Aya who stood in the door-way.

"We've been waiting on you..come inside.." Aya's eyes were strict and demanding. Ken turned to Zeva, who didn't bother asking. She only nodded and smiled lightly.

"I'll see you sometime soon, Ken-Chan."

Ken smiled slightly back at her "..Hai." With there awkward goodbye Ken ran inside the flower shop to embrace the stern look of Aya, who need say nothing for his eyes spoke everything.

"Ken..you know it's dangerous to get involved with anyone with this kind of business.." Stated Yohji.

"Let him do what he wants.." Stated Aya behind a death glare. "Manx should be coming shortly."

Zeva treaded up the stairs to her apartment and jiggled the door handle to find it unlocked.

"Neese must be here.." Zeva stepped through the door to find Neese sitting on her couch looking at old family albums.

"Have a nice time?" Said Neese without looking up for the pictures. Zeva walked over and set her keys on the table.

"Hai..what are you looking at these for though?"

Neese leaned back against the soft cushions of the couch "I dun know, Zeva..the FBI hasn't found even the slightest clue..While you were gone I did some research, there thinking about dismissing the case if nothing is found."

Zeva, who had just sat down quickly stood up "WHAT DO YOU MEAN DISMISS THE CASE?!"

Neese sighed "These things happen…you know that as well as I do going to a law school with the same standards as Harvard..I know it's upsetting but until something is found they will dismiss the case, and I'll probably have to go back to America."

Zeva reached down and yanked Neese up by the collar of the shirt "YOU'RE not going anywhere Neese Adrian Andonius!" Zeva's eyes flashed Amber and she tossed Neese back onto the couch and snatched her keys off the table, in the process her eyes landing on a picture of her younger sister, Nilian. She grabbed her black leather trench-coat off the coat hanger and pulled out her black, knuckle gloves that matched her black shirt and black pants, a silver cross dangling from her neck hung right in-between her breasts.

"Where the hell do you think your going?!" Shouted Neese, aggravated at her sisters sudden out-burst. Zeva jerked her head to look her sister firmly in the eye.

"..Out.." was all she said, followed by a slam of the front door.

"Gawd…and she says I'M impossible!!" Neese sighed and leaned back against the couch, Zeva's Calico kitten jumping in her lap begging for more attention.

Outside Zeva stormed down the stairs and went to where her motorcycle was parked. It was a racing motorcycle, but completely street-legal. She threw on leg over and positioned herself on the bike before starting it. She sat on her trench-coat as to not have wind resistance when she sped down the streets. She grinded the engine before speeding off.

"Dismiss the case?!" Thought Zeva as she drove down the street in speeding frenzy "How can they dismiss the murder of an international ambassador and his family?!! There's got to be a way to find out who is behind this.." She pushed the accelerator harder, her grip on the handles of her bike deadly. She didn't even know where she was going, but she didn't care.
