No One To Trust

Once everyone learned the truth about each other a strange understanding filtered through the house. While they were not close like family they definitely had each other’s back. Yazoo had decided to train Tifa on hand to hand combat since she turned out to be a little trigger happy shooting every and any thing before knowing who or what it was. It was a good thing she was a terrible shot or they would be dead by now. He had created a teddy bear that if you pulled the legs off actually concealed two daggers for Marlene. Denzel was given a watch that was really a locator with texting abilities so if they were taken somewhere Tifa or Yazoo would know where to start looking for them.



Tifa had started working at the diner in town to listen for any news of strangers coming while Yazoo was busy hacking into various systems to see what information he could learn about both their enemies. While he had learned nothing new about who was out to get him, Tifa seemed to be on everyone’s radar. Rufus wanted her back rather badly along with his other possessions and was willing to pay top dollar. Yazoo often wondered if he wasn’t on the run from the world would he turn them over. A tiny voice in the back of his mind told him no, but the assassin in him screamed yes.



He was beginning to realize that he was becoming too attached to the children and Tifa. Their trust in him was like nothing he had ever encountered before and wasn’t sure if it was a good thing that they had such faith in him. Denzel had taken to following him wherever he went and Marlene was always checking to make sure that he was close. The strangest thing by far was when Tifa had asked to sleep in his room after work. She had told him that she was too tired to fight and if anyone showed up she would be a sitting duck. That one night turned into a nightly ritual two months ago and he was becoming all too aware of her warm body beside him at night.



The waiting for their enemies to make a move was starting to make him crazy, but he knew the game. Once you get antsy you get stupid and that is all that it takes.



“Maybe they aren’t even looking for us anymore.” Tifa said as she lazed in his bed.



Yazoo looked at her and shook his head with an almost cruel smirk on his face.

“Do you know who many people I have killed that probably thought the same thing?” Yazoo asked taking seat beside her and trying not to notice the way that her dress was riding up on her thighs. His mind thinking back to the last time he got laid. It was the night before the botched assassination when he was out with Loz.



“Loz.” He growled low in his throat.



“Huh, What is a Loz?” Tifa asked.



“It is a who. A fucking dead who when I get my hands on him.” Yazoo said jumping off the bed and snatching his jacket. Tifa quickly grabbed his arm stopping his exit.



“You’re coming back right? I mean I don’t care, but the kids seem to….” There had been something about the way that she kneeling on the bed in front of him with such sad longing eyes. He didn’t even hear her words as he dropped his jacket and took her face into his hands and kissed her softly. Her hands went to his shirt to pull him down on top of her, as the kiss became more intense. She wrapped her legs around his waist pushing up against his hardening shaft. Quickly unbuttoning his shirt till she could feel the warm soft flesh of his body beneath her fingers.



Yazoo was just about to pull her dress over head when a knock at the door made them jump up. Yazoo was the first to break the spell of silence that lingered between them and grabbed her quickly for one last kiss before walking out the door. Marlene was on the other side of the door checking to see they were okay. Yazoo gave her a pat on the head before walking away without an explanation. He had barely got to his bike when Marlene barreled out of the door begging him not to leave.



“Remember what I have taught you.” Yazoo said climbing on his bike and starting it up.



He didn’t look back as he sped off down the road and he didn’t promise that he would return, because he really didn’t know if would be. He knew that Tifa would try and explain it to the children, but he was starting to feel something that he had not before.



Worry



He waited in the back of the same dark musty club that Loz had brought him that night. He knew that he would show up sometime since this was his favorite place. It seemed that he had been correct when he waltzed in like he owned the place. Yazoo raised a brow when he noticed who he was with him, Kadaj. He was limping and looked thinner then the last time that he had seen him. ‘I swear that boy has nine lives.’ Yazoo thought.



Luckily Kadaj had received a call and left the bar, but Loz was to busy trying to pick up a girl. Well, actually Yazoo was not entirely sure if it was a he or a she, but it didn’t seem to matter when Loz when to grab a boob and got a punch in the face. That was when he called it a night and stumbled from the bar toward his home. A few streets and finally they arrived at Loz’s home. Yazoo moved up quickly behind him and effectively knocked him out. He slowly pulled Loz into his place and then dragged him up the stairs to his room. He tied his hands and feet to the posts of the bed so he couldn’t move when he finally did wake up.



When Loz woke in the morning he was rather unhappy about the fact that he was tied to his bed with a massive headache. Yazoo was completely relaxed sitting in the chair near the bed. He almost had to laugh at the threats that were falling so easily from Loz’s mouth, which he clearly could never go through with at any time soon. A sigh escaped Yazoo’s mouth as he pulled a blade from his jacket and placed the tip on Loz’s chest effectively making him shut up.



“Finished?” Yazoo asked getting a frightened nod yes from Loz.



“Good, now before I start carving into your chest how about you just come clean and tell me who set me up and why?” Yazoo smiled at the surprised look on Loz’s face.
