Aya Fujimiya was in a dark place. Within said dark place, Aya Fujimiya was naked. Stark naked. Watch the fangirls drool! It's a naked bishounen in a dark place! What could make this situation even better? Oh, look at that! A sword, nay, his sword. That kitana he loves more than life itself, there hung in the darkness. Aya reached out and grabbed it, oh, the hentai implications in that very phrase! The fangirls are almost catatonic in their bliss. Aya sliced through the darkness with his sword, and so began the chapter!

Night befell the city of Tokyo. A terrible night of unrest, where all the atmosphere felt tense, silently waiting for the battle that was sure to be that night. It was coming, everyone could feel it. There was no escaping that future.

Duo stood against the building wall with Wufei, Tasuki, and Sanzou and watched the streetlamps come on, filling the enclosing night with sickly orange circles of imitation daylight.

" I feel sick, " he said finally, breaking the taut silence.

" Duped is more like it, " Tasuki corrected, sounding miserable. He tapped his tessen against the palm of his hand lightly. " Who woulda thought, that genki little thing was enlisting us to help end the world... "

" White Hunters... fight the futures of these dark beasts! "

" End the world...? " Subaru trailed off, still unable to believe it. It still played in his mind, the memory of the man giving the order to assasinate... " I can't believe it... "

" Me neither, " Eagle admitted, playing with his shoulder plate, turning it over in his hands, watching the light dance across the metal surface. " I have to wonder... if Rivachan even knows. "

" You think she's being used? "

" It's obvious isn't it? The memory lapse, the shadowy identity of her master. I believe what Ken and the others say... "

" All four of these men have scars on their hearts, and lingering ghosts about them. " Subaru said distantly. He looked up as the four men in question entered in assasin gear. " I wonder if we will be here in the morning. "

" Of course you will, " Manx assured him from the stairs, suddenly intruding on the conversation. She gave a confident smile,
" Weiss never fails a mission. "

" A-ah, so much faith in us, " Youji commented with a wink at the scarlet haired Kritiker agent.

Eagle stood up and quickly threw his cape about his shoulders, setting his armor in place as he spoke. " Subarukun and I are coming along. " He silenced all protests with a steady look that proved him to be the commander he was. " I may not understand everything, but I will not allow you to murder an innocent. "

Subaru stood too and nodded.

" Guess it can't be helped, " Youji shrugged and started up the stairs.

" Just don't get in the way, " Aya warned.

Eagle's composure fell back into the smiling cute one. " You won't even know we're there! "

" What do we do with sleeping beauty over there? " Schuldich asked, nodding his head in the direction of where Muraki was setting Riva down on a couch.

Crawford followed his gaze. " Ehn, let her sleep. We no longer need her. "

" Tossing your miko to the side, are you? " Schuldich grinned widely. " Mind if I take the disturbance off your hands? "

Crawford frowned. " Don't even think of it. "

" You're no fun, " Schuldich mock pouted.

In the corner, Farfarello peered over Ryuuichi's shoulder. " Crayon drawings hurt God. "

Ryuuichi sweatdropped. " That's nice. "

" What are we here for? " Sesshoumaru inquired, now freed from the folding metal chair.

Crawford nodded at Nagi, who explained, " Crawford thought of this as an interesting way to end the world, to have people from other worlds with certain abilities come and create chaos. But we needed someone unassuming to collect these people, someone whom they'd never suspect. People like you and Muraki we didn't have to worry about, but the rest... "

Trunks smirked and looked to the side. Subarukun...

Nagi continued, " Crawford saw fit to use one of his friend Il Purazzo's minions. Who would suspect an overly genki, loudmouthed, short, girl anyway? "

" Who indeed? " inputted Schuldich, looking down at the girl in question.

Trunks looked back, eyes lidded in unimpression, " Why all the 'goshujin-sama' crap then? Why taking away her memory? "

" The memory was my own little game with her, " Schuldich admitted. " As for Crawford, well, she fell in love with his voice, not that I blame her. "

Everyone in the room fell over, except for Schuldich, who loved the reaction he got, and Crawford who sweatdropped and changed the subject. " Weiss is coming. "

We now take a break to show you Aya nude in the darkness again. This time he had his arms strung up above his head and some unknown woman was feeling him up. Some of the weaker willed fangirls faint. Aya looked up in agony, wondering why this pointless scene exists.

Back in the plot, Aya took an angsty moment to remind himself why he was an assasin in the first place, his cute little sister. That done, he and Weiss got ready for battle.

" Wait, " Eagle commanded quietly, stepping forward. He placed a device on the hilt of Aya's kitana. " You might need this later, trust me. "

Aya nodded at him, then ran headlong into battle.

What met them in the street however, was not Schwartz, nor any of Subaru and Eagle's companions. Instead, it was the youma Ryuuichi had stored in hammerspace during the battle when they got Sapphire. Ken slashed and kicked at the expendable youma. Omi threw darts and dodged in his cute little way. Youji tossed wire and strung them up. But it was Aya who ended the first battle, swinging his sword down in what was mean to be a preparatory swing shot an impressive column of blue and white energy at the youma and destroyed them all in one shot. Aya blinked at his sword, and then at Eagle.

Eagle smiled and flashed the peace sign.

In the backlash, flower petals filled the air from out of nowhere, and dawn broke. Aya turned and stared at the sun, knowing that the mission was not over yet.
