continuation from Chapter 3: Too Late

==========================================================================

* Flowershop *

	Why?  How could you?  The look made her heart beat heavily, as if she
was about to lose her life.  He was everything for her, and she knew inside
her she still had *this* feeling for Ran...but what made her do that?  Sakura
was thinking while looking into his eyes.  They were now gloomy.  She thought
and thought while staring at him.  Yes.  He had rejected her when she told
him that she love him.

	Sakura looked away from Ran.  He looked at Yohji.  Yohji shrugged his
shoulders and sighed.  He still couldn't believe what had happened in the 
park.  The way he held her hands and the way he kissed her.  It was just
splendid and amazing.  No one would ever believe his story.

"Whew!  Perhaps you should stay here awhile." Yohji implied.

"I should probably get home now." Sakura sadly said, her emotion still on 
Ran's looks.

"You look gloomy."

"Huhh?" 

	Sakura suddenly raised her face towards Yohji that they were only 
centimeters away from each other.  Yohji blushed.  Sakura stepped back as if
to reject Yohji.  Yohji was puzzled.

"Something wrong?" Yohji asked, concerned.

	Sakura shooked her head.  She didn't have any reason to be ashamed of
what she did in the park, even thought Ran gave him that look.  She was free,
can date any guys for the leader rejected her.  Inside her was burning an
intense pain, causing her to stop to a level of subconsciousness.

"Sakura?"

"Mmm.  I'm fine gotta go now." Sakura said as she headed for the door.

She was just about to open the door when Yohji put his arms around her waist.

And now, Ran was dumbstruck, but couldn't make a move.

Sakura was astonished.

"Perhaps I should come with you."

"But..."

Yohji smiled cheerfully.

"Okay." whispered Sakura.

"Guys, I don't think I would be returning here in the flowershop anymore.  I
guess I would be spending the night in Sakura's place.....so don't wait for
me.

"Yohji!" Sakura stammered.

	Yohji smiled again.  This isn't a game.  Sakura thought as she warned
herself.  At anytime she could do things that she shouldn't, and what if 
Yohji's mind turn upside-down?  He would be tempted to do *these* things. 
Sakura's heart pounded so hard Yohji heard them.

"Nervous for tonight?  Don't worry, I'll stop if there's anything you don't
like..." Yohji whispered behind Sakura's ear.

	But Ran's ears were too good at that.  He heard Yohji's words and it
made him more angrier than before.  But fighting this man would do no good,
perhaps it would give a lot more harmful results.  He better keep his mouth
shut.

Sakura felt herself blushing.  She bent her head down.

Omi and Ken kept staring at them.

"Oh well, we really got to go now.  Bye guys!" Yohji said as he waved his
hand and they both went out the door.

===========================================================================

*Schwarz Headquarters *

	Farfarello was licking his knife while sitting on the floor. Crawford
was again damn angry with Schuldig and that he was wiping his eyeglasses with
a piece of cloth.  Schuldig was walking towards Nagi, his hands rubbing 
against each other, digging into the Japanese's mind.  Brad Crawford stood up
and walked towards Nagi then looked at the computer.  Nagi was assigned to do
to get some informations about the Weiss members.

"How are you doing?" Crawford asked slyly.

"There are informations that I got from all of them...which one would you 
like to read?" asked Nagi as he turned his head to look at Brad.

"Go to the leader's infos." Brad said, his eyebrows twitching.

"You mean the red-headed?"

"Yes." Crawford said as his tone raised to an eager emotion of voice.

	Nagi clicked on Ran's informations but the Schwarz already knew what
was written in it.  The codename, blood type and anything about the past.
Crawford often came to match the cold red-headed when they were in their 
mission, and he was not the man to lose himself to a much more younger guy.

"This isn't it." Crawford sighed as he lowered his shoulders.

"Well what da ya want?  We already know what this inane assassin is already."
Schuldich snarled as he talked, his arms crossed on his shoulder.

"I'm thinking of something..." Crawford said, raising his hand and putting it
on his forehead.

	Just after Crawford said he was thinking something, Schulderich 
quickly put all his concentration to read the American's mind and he succeded
this time.  He put on an evil grin on his face and looked wickedly at 
Crawford.

"So you're thinkin' of kidnappin' someone who is very dear to him aren't ya?"
Schulderich smirked.

Brad Crawford didn't say a word.

"So I was right then!"

	Nagi turned his head back to look at the computer.  So I haven't 
helped at all.  How am I going to prove I'm a worthy member of this fucking
assassins?  Uggh... Nagi thought as he stood up and started walking towards
his room when Schuldich shot up at him.

"Hey asshole!  What do you think you're doing leaving us here?" 

"I need rest."

"Want me to nuzzle you a little?" the German said, grinning.

	Nagi's heart paced.  What does he mean by nuzzling me a little?  What
if....you fucking moran. Nagi said to himself as he turned his back away from
Schuldich and headed towards his room.  He was thinking of Schuldich not 
going to let him go and he was right.  Schuldich started sauntering towards
him but Crawford put his hands on the German's shoulder and said, "Let him
go."  At instant, Schuldich obeyed the American and stopped chasing him.

"I'm going to make you suffer you bastard!"

	Nagi heard him.  Schuldich can make him suffer and feel so much pain
whenever he would do *that* to him.  He was helpless and he was so sick and
tired of his groupmates.  He wished someone would be there to comfort him and
love him but it would only be in his dreams, and it would never come true.  
He was wondering on how life was going on with their enemies, the Weiss.  He
reached for the door knob and went inside.  After stepping in, he locked the
door.  "But why am I doing this?  There's no reason for me to lock the 
door, but perhaps...I need...privacy."

	Nagi sat on his bed, both his hands now on his forehead.  He was 
thinking of losing control, and that he might go insane these days.  He heard
his stomach growled and suddenly felt that he was already hungry.  But he was
not in the right mood to eat.  It was just minutes ago when he had this 
stupid little argument with Schuldich, and he thought that he was not ready
to face him yet.  He was sure that the German would mock him again.

"Who is it?" the red-head said with so much eagerness.

"If you'd keep on talking stupid hippie, I wouldn't be able to think clearly
so shut your shitty stupid mouth for a minute.  Got it?" Crawford said slowly
and sternly.

Schuldich shot a glare at Crawford but said nothing.

	Nagi stood up and decided to have something to eat outside the 
headquarters.  He was tired of all the fucking and the bastardy and the 
shouting of the three Schwarz.  He started walking downstairs and met 
Schuldich waiting at the foot of the stairs.

"Now what?" Nagi snapped.

"Remember what I told ya a while ago?" Schuldich said, holding his knife, its
end pointing to Nagi's neck.

"And so?" Nagi answered rudely.

"Stop being so khaki you asshole," the German snarled as he held Nagi by his
shirt and pushed him against the wall, "Don't you recklessly act like that in
front of me or else you'll be damned you worthless hooligan."

Crawford quickly heard the noise and started going to the twos direction.

"Let go of the boy!" Crawford shouted.

"Stop calling me a boy would you?!" Nagi growled.

"See?  This punk is growing to be a much more better bastard!  He even 
shouted back at you."

"Stay out of this Schuldich and let go of him."

Schuldich loosened him.

"Now where are you going?" Crawford asked him in his manly tone.

"He would probably go to some bars and pick some girls to satisfy his desire.
Well, we all know the boy's growing up and he kinda like porn." Schuldich
said, looking at the ceiling.

Crawford glared at him whilst Nagi bent his head down.

"Is it true Nagi?" Crawford asked him sincerely.

Nagi shooked his head.  "I'm going to eat outside."

"Ohh....What time are you planning to go home?"

"Perhaps 9:00."

"How about your homeworks?"

"I'm already finished with them." Nagi lied.

	Crawford stared at Nagi for a moment, but made way for him. Nagi 
hurriedly walked towards the door.  He was tired of the horrible place.  He
saw a fastfood and went inside to eat.  He can't take his loneliness out of
his mind.  Still eating, he can still feel the pain that he had felt long
ago.  He decided to went to some place that would make him forget his 
loneliness.  A sudden struck came to his mind.  He remembered Schuldich's 
words about going to a bar.  But perhaps it would only be the place to go.

===========================================================================

" Yohji's car *

	Sakura glanced at her watch.  It's 6:10.  She sighed and felt tired
when Yohji put his hand over hers.

"You seem lonely.  Where do you want me to take you?"

"Home."

"Are you sure?"

"......." Sakura said nothing as she felt the urge of still going out.

"Want to eat in some restaurant?"

"Huh?"

Yohji smiled.

Sakura nodded.  

"So it's settled then."

	The car paced on a nice speed, Sakura felt herself slowly enchanted
by Yohji's smile.  The smile she had never seen from Ran.  She sighed and 
looked at Yohji while he was driving.  She had never been this happy before,
or perhaps she already fell for him.

	Not long after, Yohji and Sakura came to a restaurant.  Yohji was
looking at Sakura's single move.  The way she eat, the way she wiped her 
mouth, the way she smiled at him.  She was different for Yohji.  How could I
be so silly to have dated a lot of girls when I could have someone like her,
sweet and innocent? Yohji thought while eating.
	
* Two hours later/inside the car *

	The night seemed peculiar for Sakura.  Here she was dating a guy 
who didn't even suits her taste.  She put her hand on her forehead and closed
her eyes.  She saw Ran in her mind, envisioning him talking to her.  She 
hold herself tight, feeling the sweetness of her fantasy.  She slowly let
herself loosed, placing her hands on her lap.  A slight smile was forming
in her face.

	Yohji, seeing Sakura smile put his right hand over her hand.  Sakura
was shocked, her mind focused on the red-haired guy.  She let out a slight
but sharp outburst as she suddenly felt her hands being touched.  Yohji
was rather surprised too and asked her what the matter was.  Sakura put a
forced smile on her face to tell Yohji that everything was alright.  Yohji 
frowned.  He knew that she forced a smile on him.  

"Yohji.."

"Mm huh?"

"I...well, is it..."

"What is it?" Yohji asked, putting the car on brakes.  

Slowly, the car came to its stop.

"Is it right?"

"Sakura?  I don't understand..."

Sakura bent her head low... "I really have...to...tell..you..."

===========================================================================

* At the street *

	Nagi put his hands in his pant's pockets and felt the wind of the
cold night blowing all over his body.  He had this feeling...a feeling of 
disappointment to himself.  He was mad at himself, terribly frustrated with
his whole being.  Who am I?  Why is it that I'm not accepted by the world?  
He sighed as he asked himself the same question.  Am I maltreated because
I am weak?  

	He had walked far already and he just kept walking, not knowing where
he was going.  All he had in mind was to prove to his groupmates that he was
not a nobody, and that he can do anything.  

	The wind became a lot more stronger and Nagi felt his whole body went
numb with such coldness.  But he didn't mind the strong wind.  He pulled his
hands out of his pocket and felt the wind pass him.  He felt so happy, 
knowing inside him that he was free for that night.  Free from worries, free
from scoldings, from pain and distress, and probably free from s--?  Whenever
the German got the chance of having him did something wrong, he would be
punished by having s-- with Schuldich.  Or perhaps it should not be called
s--, but rather r--e...?

	Nagi tried to distort himself from the thoughts about Schwarz.  He 
went walking on further and saw a car.  He thought of getting closer to the
car and found out one of the Weiss with a girl.  A sudden feeling struck his
heart.  He remembered Schuldich words...and then.....

"I could be of great help if I learned about this girl..." Nagi whispered to
himself, an evil grin forming on the ends of his mouth.

============================================================================

* Inside the car *

Yohji looked at Sakura, his heart beating very fast.

"I don't know about this....but..."

"But what?"

Sakura couldn't hold her tears any longer.  She let out a soft cry and tears
began trickling down her face.

"Gomen-nasai." Sakura murmured.

	Yohji put his hand under Sakura's chin and lifted her face up.  He 
wept away her tears and smiled at her saying "Everthing's alright."  Sakura
pulled Yohji's hand away from her face and looked at him, her eyes glowing
with worry.

"I think I still love...Ran." Sakura said, her voice now hoarse.

Yohji was shocked by Sakura's words, but didn't say anything.

"I'm really sorry."

"Do you love me?"

Silence.

"I love you both..." Sakura finally said.

"He doesn't deserve your love for him."

"Demo..."

"Just love me."

"Yohji..?"

	Yohji grabbed Sakura by her waist and kissed her.  It was no longer
gentle.  It was harsh, his mouth grinding hers.  Sakura tried to pull away 
from him, but Yohji wouldn't let go.  He held her tight, his other hand now
on the back of her neck.  Sakura was running out of breath then she felt 
herself letting out a moan.  Slowly, Yohji pulled away, catching his breath
and perspiring all over.  Sakura put her hand over her mouth, her eyes 
widening with such perplexity.

"Yohji...Yohji..."

"I...please....gomen..."

Sakura bit her lips, unable to speak.

"I'm sorry for what I did."

"No...not at all."

"What do you mean?"

Sakura just smiled.

	Nagi smiled at what he saw.  He was now very eager to go back to his
headquarters when he suddenly have a different feeling.  He was struck by a 
feeling of sadness as well as pitiness for the two.  He was always punished
for being a burden, and now that he had know the solution, something inside
him kept telling him not to think of that way.  He would be destroying 
someone else's happiness.  

"Nagi Naoe, make a decision.  Hurry!"

	Nagi walked back and ran away from the place.  He was running and 
running, having no clue to where he was going...then he came to a sudden 
stop.  "The bar!" he exclaimed.
