AN: It's been awhile I know, but I've been very busy with school. Now that I'm on vacation I should be able to update a little more often even though I'm working everyday. Another reason for the lack of update was the lack of reviews. T_T This is the first time that I get less than 10 reviews for a chapter . So please review if you want to see more of this story.

Thanks to: Blue Moon (long time no chat! We never see each other anymore. Hehe it's going to be a square ^_^), Bluejello, Hikari-chan (I'm not going to tell you ^_^ That'll ruin the whole fic don't you think? ^_~), baby bunnygurl, Dreama Tsuki (It's freaky isn't it, but at least the plot is better than the last season and also the animation ^_^), little ace, and u go.

Chapter 2

"I've never been in this kind of situation before, and I just want you to know that," the speaker paused and took a deep breath. "I've been in love with you for the past two years."

Silence fell over the empty classroom as the two occupants stared at each other.

"I don't know what to say…" the second person replied. "I am very flattered, but I thought that we were just friends."

"I see…" quick footsteps were heard as the heart broken teenager escaped the room, face staring at the floor.

Usagi sighed as she walked out of the classroom. "I know you're there Schuldig. Just make things easier for the both of us and come out."

A surprised but none the less smug German appeared from god knows where. "Didn't expect you to be so popular Usagi-chan. But did you have to be so cruel? The poor idiot is going to be scarred for life now."

"Cut the crap Schuldig. I'm not in the mood to play around with you today." The words were barely out of her mouth before the blonde found herself slammed against the wall painfully.

"Excuse me Your Royal Highness. As I recall, you had a grand time playing around with me last week. Let me assure you that I have every right and intention to be as much of a pain in the ass as you were," Dangerous jaded eyes glared down at the girl who stared back in defiance.

"You forget yourself bastard. I'm the one who's…"

"Begging me for help?" the assassin cut in before Usagi could finish. "If you don't want the whole media to know what an innocent little school girl is planning for her fiancé, then I advice you to sweeten up your attitude a little."

"It's useless to threaten me Schuldig. Who do you think will believe an foreign assassin?"

"Trust me, with a little persuasion on my part I can make the Emperor of Japan strip tease on national television."

"That is if you are still alive to use your powers." Hard blue eyes challenged the telepath, the look as cutting as shreds of broken glass.

"Usagi-chan? Are you still here?"

The two jumped away from each other as a redhead turned around the corner of the school.

"Naru-chan, I thought you left already."

The newcomer looked between her best friend and the handsome stranger before a knowing smirk appeared on her face. "Oh sorry to interrupt, I wanted to see if you have time to go guy watching but I guess you don't need to anymore."

A horrified look on her face, Usagi stared at Naru blushing. "You gotta be kidding me! Why would I …" her words were cut short when her head was tilted back by a forceful yet gentle hand and a pair of lips brushed against her own in a sweet light kiss.

"Nice to meet you Naru. I'm Schu, Usagi's new boyfriend." The German shook Naru's hand warmly while the blonde seethed quietly.

"Nice to meet you too," the redhead looked at the telepath appraisingly before giving her best friend a inconspicuous wink. "I'm sorry to interrupt, I'll leave you two alone now."

"Naru-chan wait!" the blonde cried out and caught up with the other girl. "Are you going home? I'll go with you."

"But."

"Schuldig can leave by himself. He has legs and a brain I think." The bunny cut in and dragged her best friend away all the while trying to ignore the triumphant laughter in her head.

~*~*~*~

"Usagi?"

"Hun?" the bunny stopped walking as her name was called.

"You're going to walk into a pole," Naru murmured as her best friend realized and quickly jumped out of the way in embarrassment.

"Are you okay?" the redhead asked in concern. "You're not acting like yourself today."

"I'm just a little distracted that's all."

"Des it has anything to do with Takuya-kun's confession?"

"How did you know about that?" Usagi turned towards her friend in surprise.

"Usagi, if you paid a little more attention at school, then maybe you would've noticed how being rejected by you has become some sort of rites of passage between all the guys. All of them are competing with each other to ask you out."

"No wonder. So that's why my shoe box is always full every morning with love letters."

Naru sighed. If only the clueless blonde knew how she was the envy of all the female population at school. But she couldn't blame her best friend after all the bunny had to go through the past year.

"Naru-chan?"

"Yes?"

"Do you think that I'm heartless?"

The redhead stopped in mid-stride and stared at the blonde in surprise. "Pardon me?!"

"I have been rejecting so many people now. I know I should feel bad about it that I'm breaking their hearts. But no matter how much I think about it, I just don't feel anything, I should feel guilty, but I feel nothing. It's so easy for me to break them now."

"Usagi, you're not heartless. Anyone who went through what you did won't even be here by now. Don't you dare doubting yourself in front of me because you are the kindest and most giving person I know." Naru hugged the blonde closely. "They wouldn't have sacrificed their lives if they thought you're heartless. Believe in the people who knows you the best Usagi-chan."

The blonde smiled bitterly against the other girl's shoulder. She was alone. No one could understand. Even Naru didn't know her half as much.

"Stop being so depressed. I want to show you a place." Naru said winking, causing Usagi to groan. She knew that look all too well. "Who is it this time Naru?"

"You won't regret it I swear Usagi-chan. Just wait till you see them. Even you won't be able to stop drooling."

The blonde rolled her eyes. Sometimes she had the distinct feeling that her friend was trying her best to feed her to the other sex.

"Oh, but then again, you already found yourself a hot, sizzling, delicious, gorgeous, sexy…"

Usagi thanked all the gods that her cell phone rang when it did. She thought that she would puke if Naru went on to describe Schuldig like that.

"Who is it?" the redhead stopped her unending praise of the German when she saw the blonde frown. "Aren't you going to answer it Usagi-chan?"

"No."

~*~*~*~

"This… is where you want to bring me to?" Usagi asked in a dull tone starring at the flower shop with the overflowing high school girls. "I have better things to do than this Naru-chan. I'll see you tomorrow." She almost made a clean get away before the redhead hauled her back.

"Don't even try Usagi. I know all your tricks by now. You need to get out and relax once in a while and it'll be worth it TRUST ME!" Naru grabbed the blonde's hand in a firm grip before diving into the sea of giggling girls at the entrance of Koneko no Sumei Ile.

At times she wondered why she let Naru get her into these kinds of situations. Barely five seconds after they fought their way into the little flower shop, Usagi had an overwhelming urge to throw up. The air smelled more of a thick melange of perfumes than fresh flowers. Added to the fact that with so many bodies cramped into a little space, resulted in recycled air. It made her think of going to the zoo to see some exotic animal.

"Ken-kun!"

Seeing her chance, the bunny let go of Naru as the other girl squealed causing a cute brunet to drop the pot he was holding.

Usagi watched in mild surprise as the flowerpot was safely snatched up right before it hit the floor. A delicate blonde eyebrow rose as sapphire eyes met amethyst. Interesting.

"Watch it Ken-Ken. If you break something everyday, we're going to go into debt within a week." A dashingly charming blond said across the room.

"Maybe if you start to work we would actually be making some money by now Yohji." The brunet shot back as he snatched back his flower pot from a red head, making everyone laugh. Apparently the blond man's working habits were rather infamous among the coworkers and customers alike.

"Don't be so quick to judge Ken. It takes more than you have to please our lovely customers." The playboy replied and quickly stepped away when Ken accidentally dropped the pot he was holding over Yohji's foot.

Usagi watched in fascination the exchange between the four florists. Their every move intrigued her even more. She was so busy that she didn't even notice as a particularly pushy girl came up from behind and shoved her against a door.

A flick of gold caught Aya's eye. The redhead turned just in time to see Ouka unwittingly knocked a blonde high school girl into the shop's cold room. Frowning, he made his way across Yohji's so called customers. How much did he hate playing the prince to the rescue? Almost as much as he hated window shoppers.

~*~*~*~

Usagi took a deep breath of the fresh cold air. Despite the fact that she was rudely shoved into a cold dark place, she was actually a little grateful for a breath of the clean air compared to the polluted fumes outside.

What was the s place anyways?

Stretching her hand in front of her in the darkness, the bunny carefully moved forwards until something soft touched her fingers.

"What are you doing here?"

Usagi jerked back her hand when an annoyed voice snapped at her and the little dark room was suddenly flooded with overhead lights. She jumped back as if caught in the middle of a despicable act and consequently lost her balance, tripping on a pipe. Trying to regain her balance, a hand reached out to grab the nearest object before her startled shriek of pain filled the Koneko.

Aya scowled as he witnessed the blonde's fall from grace. The girl had obviously stumbled and stupidly reached out to grab a handful of uncut roses before screaming in pain when the thorns bit into her palm. Seriously did all girls scream that loud?

"Aya! " Soon enough his coworkers were brought to the site too. "What happened?"

The redhead glared at the blonde girl whose blue eyes were quickly starting to tear up, no doubt from the bloody hand.

"Oh, poor darling what did big bad Aya do to our lovely customer this time?"

Usagi watched with wide eyes as the blond man called Yohji approach her. This couldn't be a better opportunity. Giving a whimper of pain, the blue eyes fluttered once before she relaxed her whole body, letting gravity pull her down.

"Oh shit," the playboy swore as he caught the young girl before she could hit the floor. "What did you do to her Aya?"

"Nothing."

"Girls don' faint just by being looked at… but then again being given the Fujimiya glare of death it's hard to say."

"She grabbed a handful of roses." The swordsman spoke at last directing his famous glare at his teammate, pointing to the blood that was already dripping from the girl's hand.

"And you just stood there and watched her fall without helping her?" Yohji stared at the other young man incredulously. "How like you Aya. Ken go and close the store, Omi help me get some bandages."

"Why are we closing the store? It's only three o'clock."

"Because we were the cause of this, the least we can do is to give her a place to rest before she wakes up right Yohji-kun?" The ever so gentle Omi spoke up, completely missing he real reason behind Yohji's act.

"Why doesn't Yohji close up then? Why do I always get the hardest job?" the soccer player grumbled not at all thrilled at the prospect of going out to face the female mob by himself. God knows what they would do to him when he tells them that Koneko would be closing early today. Hopefully they would leave his cloths in tact this time…

"Because Ken-ken," the playboy sighed and picked up the fainted girl carefully. God he loved being Yohji Kudou. "I don't trust someone who can't even carry a pot of flowers without dropping it. Plus I don't entrust someone as delicate as this princess to a brute like you Ken-ken. I have a feeling that you won't be able to hold her five seconds before you pass out yourself from a nosebleed."

Aya listened to his team-mates bickering as he kept a close watch on the girl Yohji was holding. The swordsman frowned as the corner of the girl's lips quirked up in an unmistakable smile.

"Aya! I know it's your hobby to imitate statues, but be useful for once and open the door for me."

The redhead glared at the comment but did what he was asked all the same, his mind occupied by the strange girl.

~*~*~*~

"Back so soon Schuldig?"

The telepath flopped down onto the sofa a grin still glued to his face from his earlier encounter with his 'other' patron. "What do you want Bradley?" he lit a cigarette, blowing the smoke towards the American, knowing all too well how much Oracle hated smoke in his pristine office. But frankly, he didn't give a damn.

"Just a little worried that's all. You were never so eager to work that's all."

"Well some things change Crawford. And who said I was out working?"

"I need you to check up on Weiß again tonight. Nagi can't do it, he has to finish up a school project."

"Don't see why he even bother to go to that place, waste of time if you ask me. If you're so anxious about the kittens why don't you go play with them yourself sometime instead of us slaving away for you."

"Don't question my motives Schuldig. Just do what I tell you to do. I promise that you'll have fun today."

Maybe he was seeing things… but did Crawford's eyes just twinkle? "Do you know something you're not telling me about?"

"What makes you say that?"

Yeap, he definitely knew something. An uneasy feeling settled in the German's stomach. When Crawford knew something and didn't want to share… Without a word Schuldig got up again and left, leaving the American to chuckle quietly to himself.

~*~*~*~

Aya glared at the figure. The unwelcome figure of a girl who was currently occupying HIS bed. Why in the Hell did Yohji bring the damn girl to HIS room? Oh yeah because Omi judged that all that 'exotic' material in the playboy's room was too inappropriate for a young innocent high school girl.

That brought him back to the matter that was troubling him. The blonde girl might be young but she was definitely not innocent. No ordinary high school girl could faint just from a pricked finger, unless she was Sleeping Beauty as Yohji so romantically put it. But he highly doubted. No sleeping beauty could be clever and sneaky enough to act out everything so perfectly making his other three idiots of teammates all fall under her spell.

"Aya-kun? Manx is here." The swordsman jerked back his hand before he could touch the sleeping girl. Another mission? Scowling, the redhead didn't have a choice except to obey.

Delicate eyelids fluttered as the door closed behind Aya with a click. Usagi sighed in relief as she sat up on the rock hard bed. Man the redhead must have a slab of iron for a back. The bunny grimaced to herself as she quietly edged off the bed. The room she was in was decorated in minimal yet elegant taste the girl noted as she made her way to the door, opening it discreetly until a slim strip of light fell through the space. She could see the four florists still on the sofa with their back towards her. A woman with curly red hair in a red suite faced the four men.

Playing peeping tom darling?"

The obnoxious voice in her head was so sudden that Usagi almost cried out in surprise.

What in the Hell are you doing here? I never told you to come. the blonde snarled back.

Tsk tsk. Such bad manners from a young girl. What would your parents say? Oh my bad, they're dead.

What are you doing here Schuldig? Nails bite into soft flesh as fury erupted at the mention of her dead parents. Apparently she underestimated the German, the death of her parents was never publicly announced and only two other people beside her knew about it.

You might be my source of pocket money but I still have a day job you know.

And you're sent to watch me?

Sorry to break it to you sweet, but you're not special enough for Crawford to be worried about.

So you're here because… Usagi trailed off but her eyes automatically returned to the four florists. You mean… that made sense, no wonder. She was surprised at their display of reflex and speed, no ordinary florists could have such fast reaction time.

You better get back to bed. If you don't want to be caught peeping.

The blonde girl shook her head to clear her thoughts at Schuldig warning her in a sing along voice. The woman was looking at the direction of the bedroom and Usagi had a feeling that they were talking about her.

And just her luck, at that exact second when she felt the telepath leave her mind her damn cell phone started to ring again. The noise obviously attracted the attention of the four men and woman outside the bedroom door as they walked towards the source of the sound.

~*~*~*~

"How is she feeling?" Manx looked at Omi as the youngest assassin told her the story.

"I don't know, she's still asleep but it shouldn't be that serious, she lost a little blood that's all."

The agent nodded before turning to the VCR and took out the latest tape from Persia.

"There's something wrong with her."

Everyone looked towards the tall swordsman, staring at him weirdly. "She never fainted."

Manx frowned at that bite of news. "Have you seen her before?"

All the guys shook their head. Even though they were flooded with girls, it wasn't that difficult to remember all their regular customers with their training.

Immediately Manx walked towards Aya's bedroom ignoring Yohji's protests that it could just have been a prink to be alone with them. "It might not be serious, but it's better to be careful just in case. If she's sent by an organization to investigate us than we'll have a little trouble to clear up." She glanced meaningfully at the four, especially at Yohji who pouted at the thought.

"Can't we just keep her here with us if she turns to be something like that? She's too cute to be killed." The playboy put in.

"Yeah like your own personal love slave Yohji? You would like that wouldn't you?" Ken sneered at his older teammate.

"Now we all know what you think about all day Ken-ken." Yohji shot back smirking at the red-faced soccer player who looked ready to knock the playboy into the next life, but too bad fate denied him that pleasure when the phone suddenly started to ring inside Aya's bedroom startling everyone. With the swordsman in the lead the five walked in to see the blonde girl in the exact position she was in when they left her.

Without hesitation Aya reached in to the pocket of the uniform skirt and pulled out a small cell phone that was still ringing. An unreadable look appeared on his face as the redhead held the cell phone up so everyone could see the name of the caller: Mamoru Chiba, their next target.

AN: the mood is more lighter than the two previous chapters it'll stay like this for awhile I think…
