Weiss Kreuz Fan Fiction ❯ Undistinguished UnderScore ❯ Chapter 11

Among the mass amounts of screaming girls and chaos, Zeva managed to find Ken. She gently tapped him on the shoulder; she had never really seen Ken at work before. And strangely enough, she found Ken rather Kawaii in his apron. Ken turned around to be eye to eye with the entire all to for Millar enchantment of Zeva's emerald green eyes.

"Zeva-Chan!" Ken glomped Zeva, and she laughed and hugged him back. Catching more than a few death glares from the fan girls

"Ohyao Ken-Chan!" She broke apart from his embrace and stared at his gentle face

"Ne! Zeva-Chan, would you like to go out?"

"Don't you have to work?" Zeva looked around at the large mass of girls.

"Ne! Ken-Kun! Go ahead, Omi and I can hold down the fort and Aya should be back soon." Yohji winked at Ken and smirked at Zeva, whom he looked over rather impressively.

"Arigato, Yohji-Kun!" Ken stripped off his apron and hung it over a chair. He gently took Zeva by the hand and walked with her past the mob of girls, ignoring the depressed moans of his name as the others girls saw him hand in hand with Zeva, Just missing Aya. They walked together, till they came to there traditional spot where they usually went to enjoy each others company to the fullest. Ken held one of the glass doors open for Zeva and stepped through after her. They took a table together and began there conversation, laughing gently and enjoying each other to the fullest, but Ken suddenly went quiet and lowered his head to study the kamikaze lines of the wooden table.

"Ne..Ken-Chan…what's wrong?" Zeva extend her hand and gently lifted his chin to meet her eyes, but Ken pulled away from her touch and Zeva jerked her hand back and looked down placing her hand in her lap.

"Gomen…Zeva.." his voice was quite and still.

"Daijoubu…Ken-Chan?"

Ken closed his eyes and turned his head to the side. "Gomen…Zeva-Chan…But I…I don't want to see you anymore!" With that Ken quickly stood up and ran out the doors of the Café, leaving a bewildered, hurt and confused Zeva behind.

"N..nani…just happened…" Zeva sighed and leaned back in her chair and thought for a moment "Ken..I know why you said what you did..and I understand.." She smiled to herself "But you can't get rid of me that easily..if things go as planned..I'll be beside you on the same path Ken.."

Ken ran hard and fast down the side walk, back to the Koneko "Zeva..I hope one day you will understand the reasoning behind my madness.." Ken ran all the way back to the Koneko and pushed himself through the door, only to discover that not one of the guys were in the store.

"Ano…Omi-Kun? Aya-Kun? Yohji-Kun?" Yelled Ken "Where are you guys?"

"Upstairs!" Yohji's voice trailed down to steps to the shop. Ken slowly began to walk up the stairs, his depression and quilt slowly setting in. When he reached the top of the stairs, he slowly lifted his head to see Yohji and Omi standing outside the bathroom, the door open.

"Ne…what's going on?"

"Why don't you come over and see for yourself.." proclaimed Yohji. Ken blinked and walked toward the other two guys and peeked in through the door to see a bloody and bruised Kym.

"Holy shit! What happened to her?!" questioned Ken as he eyed Kym who lay in a bloody heap in Aya's lap, who was currently mending her wounds.

"She got into a fight…" Omi's voice was calm, yet shocked as he peered at the small puddles of red fluid that stained the white tile of the bathroom floor.

"With who?" Ken looked down at the young boy, but he did not say a thing.

"Schwartz.." Ken quickly jerked his head to look at Yohji who had answered his question, and had remained totally calm.

"Why would Schwartz want anything to do with her?" Asked Ken, mostly to himself.

"That's what were going to ask her, when she wakes up. Aya didn't see all of the fight, and he won't tell us what he did see." Said Yohji, his voice still rather calm. "Hey! You're back awfully early! Didn't you go out with that one babe?" Yohji nudged Ken playfully, but stopped as he felt Ken's heart sink. "Nani? Daijoubu, Ken-Kun?"

"I told her I never wanted to see her again, Yohji. And I won't.." Ken leaned against a wall and folded his arms, slightly hanging his head. Omi, Yohji and even Aya stopped and slightly turned his head away from the wounded Kym that lay in his lap. They gave him silent sympathy, but they knew it was for the best that he not sees her anymore. Aya turned his attention back toward Kym and picked her up gently. He wrapped her broken ribs and mended her stab wounds. Omi and Yohji parted from the door way to make room for Aya to get by, Aya silently moved to his room and laid Kym on top of the bed. She groaned and squirmed slightly as Aya put her down. Kym slowly opened her eyes to look up at the gentle faces of three men.

"Nani…" She said wearily as she studied the men's faces. Images of the fight slowly swimming through her mind, she opened her eyes a little more and let focus to the light, but she said nothing else.

"Do you think you're able to answer a few questions?" Asked Omi gently. Kym peered at the young boy and smiled weakly.

"Hai..you probably want to know what my connection is with Schwartz."

Yohji gaped "How did she do that?!"

Kym smiled and winked at Yohji "Telepath.."

"Telepath…Moi! I'm screwed…"

Kym laughed lightly, her ribs aching when she did so. She sighed lightly, it ached to breath but it was a necessity for her to do so. "My connection with Schwartz begins a few years back…" She shifted her eyes toward Aya "Remember when I told you…that the longest timed I stayed with a family was five years?"

Aya's eyes widened in mild shock "..Hai.."

"Schwartz was that "Family" I stayed with. They came to the orphanage one day for GOD only knows what reasons..and Nagi saw me and I started to talk to him. He seemed nice, I was only thirteen. That's when Crawford came over..and I don't know what compelled him to do so..but the next day, Crawford came back with Schuldich and the next thing I knew I had been adopted. They started training me right away, and I was ready to be a true assassin in a matter of weeks. I had gotten used to the killing fairly quickly, and over time Nagi taught me Telekinesis, and then I learn Telepathy through Schuldich. When they adopted me, my name was Kym but…for reasons unknown…they wanted to change my name and they decided on Chisa. To make a long story short, Crawford and Schuldich abused me, mentally and physically thus why I ran away. Demo..now they've seen me with all of you, Weiss Kreuz..and are afraid I will make an attempt to become part of the White Cross. I honestly, had no idea you guys were THE Weiss Kreuz, until that night when Aya saved me..I had only heard Schwartz speak of Weiss Kreuz. I think they fear if I join Weiss, that I will leak information about Schwartz." She fell silent, the room was deadly still. She let her eyes drift around to study each of the men's faces whom all stood in utter shock. Until Omi finally broke that uneasy silence.

"Would you ever consider becoming apart of Weiss?" said Omi gently.

"If I did..it would be to move on..and try and forget about Schwartz all together..But there always watching me..one way or another. In any case I'd be putting all of you in danger."

"Schwartz isn't exactly a complete and total problem, the problem with Weiss and Schwartz is just that they fall under different high-ups who order us to kill the other. Granted I see where you're coming from..by you joining Weiss, it would give Schwartz only more of a reason to hunt us down." Yohji spoke diligently, he could have his intelligent moments.

"I have thought about it, but I just don't know. It would be how all of you feel about it, having a girl who's an ex-member of Schwartz on your team."

"After seeing you fight like that with Schuldich..I have no reason not to trust you.." Aya had spoken from the depths of his silence as he peered down at Kym who lay still on his bed. "Ne.." Aya turned to look at the three men "Will talk to Manx about it when she comes to give us our next assignment." The guys smiled and nodded.

"Hai, Aya-Kun!"

Aya looked back down at Kym, who slowly closed her eyes with weariness and slowly feel asleep.

"Ne..we should get back to the Koneko, we can take turns checking on her." Said Omi.

Down in the shop, Ken tried to work diligently to keep his mind off of Zeva.

"Ow! Shitai! Not again.." Ken had pricked another finger on a rose thorn.

"Ne…Ken-Kun..What's the matter with you? You keep hurting yourself on those roses as if you have never worked with them before." Omi peeked at Ken's hand with concerned eyes. Ken only shoved his hand in the pockets of his apron. "I'm fine.. I just need a break I guess.." Ken sighed and made his way for the door that lead him outside, he slowly opened the door and stepped outside for some fresh hair, only to collide with another human body.

"Oh! Gomen I did see-Z..Zeva-Chan! What are you doing here?"

Zeva smiled up at Ken "I wanted to talk to you."

"Zeva, I'm sorry but I-" Zeva leaned into Ken and whispered in his ear.

"I know.. I can't stay long..but all I wanted to say was I love you and I'm..not afraid.."

Ken stood in shock, and he felt his eyes fill with tears. He gripped Zeva by the arms and pushed her back and looked her in the eyes. "Zeva! We can't be together!" He let his hands drop from her arms and looked at his hands, a single tear falling from his eyes. "Don't you understand..I'm a sinner!" Zeva moved closer to him and laced her fingers with his, droplets of his blood staining her flesh. Ken looked down at her, another tear escaping from his rich brown eyes. Zeva reached up and kissed off his more recent tear from his delicate face, never unlacing her fingers from his.

"I know you hear me..I can taste it in your tears.." She unwove her hands from his, and wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her head in his shoulder. He smelt like heaven to her. She felt Ken slowly wrap his arms around her waist, he pulled her closer to her and held her tight, yet gently and laid his head on her shoulder. She shifted her head to face his neck as she laid her head on his shoulder, she gently caressed his neck with her lips with a tender kiss. She then broke apart from his body and trailed the back of her hand against his jaw bone and moved her other hand around to the back of his neck and entwined her fingers in his soft, brown hair. She explored his eyes and smiled gently at him "I believe in you.." She slowly leaned in, until her lips locked with his.

Ken stood there, tensed in shock but began to relax as he began to loose himself in her. He closed his eyes and wrapped his arms around her again, and returned the kiss. He felt her taking him over from the inside out. His body had ached for her like this for so long, but he had been so afraid to let himself get close to anyone after the incident with Yuriko. Though lost in her passion, he slowly felt her break apart from him. He opened his eyes to look deep in the eternal passion of green that she inflicted upon him.

"I didn't want it to end with just the coffee shop.."

"Zeva, I-" she placed her finger over his mouth to quiet him.

"Shhh..all I can say is this Ken..we will see each other again, I swear by it." With that she broke herself from his embrace, and like he had done at the coffee shop she ran and never looked back.
