Zero allowed a faint smile to spread across his face, "Of course I would, if it's for your own good."
Then a small face peered through the doorway, "Fuku-Taichou..." The young man said in a quiet, shaking voice. He stepped into the room, "You see..."
Zero smiled cheerfully and remained still for a moment, then his arm shout out and he flung a knife just past the boy. The knife looped around him, ensnaring him in his thread, and then he pulled, sending the boy flying toward him. He raised his left arm to catch the boy by the collar, and held him in the air, only a breaths distance from his face. He smiled while growling, "Didn't I order this room to be cleared?"
The young man began to shake uncontrollably, "W-well, about that, um, you see..."
"Well?"
"I'm... I'm very sorry, Fuku-Taichou!" He squeezed his eyes shut, "but about the prisoner the assassins captured..."
The smile finally dropped off of Zero's face, "Does it look like I care about that? Taichou is trying to sleep! Now get the hell out of here, you maggot!" He flung the boy out the doorway and into the wall. When he could finally stand again, he scrambled down the hall as fast as he could, eager to get away from Zero.
"Sheesh, they're all useless... They have no courtesy whatsoever..."

Ember sighed softly as she heard what was going on in the room. A random vine had come from between a crack in the floor to begin wrapping around Zero's right leg and then his stomach, stopping at his chest.
"Behave please... besides we shou--"
Just before she could finish her sentence, the enemy from earlier burst into the room, a knife thrown swiftly and fatally towards Ember. A few seconds later, one of the Assassins had blocked the knife with himself, while the other got the enemy with a pressure point to his neck. Neither had shown any emotion as they had carried out their actions.
Miheal said nothing as he noticed that James was barely moving after blocking the knife from hitting Ember while she was still injured.
"I apologize for the interruption... but it seems as if the bars of the cell have withered...."
The assassin simply picked up his partner to take to the sanctuary as he was now alone in the job he did... however anyone of the people here would give their lives to protect both leaders...

Zero watched the scene before him with unfazed eyes, "Well, at least he was good for something..."
He turned back to Ember, his smile back in place, "Sleep. I'm going to make something for us to eat. I've laced the room with threads, so if anyone comes near here, I'll know. Alright?"
(Three guesses as to what he wants to make to eat... =P)

Ember barely nodded.
"Just go make what you wish... you are in charge for now while i heal... Just behave.."

"And when do I ever not behave?" Zero asked with a playful smile. Without waiting for her to answer, he slipped out of the room. Then he walked down the hall, singing, "Dango, dango, dango, dango, da~n~go~ daikazoku~"
He entered the kitchen and rummaged through the cupboards for a moment, before taking out all the ingredients he needed. "I wonder if Taichou even likes dango?" He thought out loud as he filled a pot with water and put it on the stove to boil.

Ember sighed as she continued to lay there on the bed for awhile once Zero left. The boy could definitely be a handful at times when it came to his true personality and not the fake one he often showed around the base. But no matter what she never truly minded it much at all... he was and probably would be the only person she would trust as the co-leader of this place..
With a slight grunt and a small gasp of pain, Ember sat up. Her breathing instantly quickening as she had the feeling that a bit of the wound had torn open.
"Shit.."
Gritting her teeth she stood up, slowly making her way to the door, having to lean on a few things as she finally opened up the door, a bit shocked at what greeted her.

Zero had just finished rolling the dough into balls and dropping them into the boiling water when he raised his head. His threads were picking up something. He scowled, "I just threw that idiot out, what is he doing back at taichou's room?" But then, a sickening feeling swept over him. There was something wrong with that boy's energy. It was... off. He flicked the stove off and started in the direction of her room quickly, his mouth set in a grim line.
The boy stood in front of Ember's room, breathing heavily. He took in the scent of blood, and slowly, his eyes began to narrow and darken. Then he looked up at her, a wild grin on his face, and lunged.

Ember glanced up just barely in time to partially block him; however, the male was still able to tackle her to the ground. All of her stitches ripped open, blood beginning to spill out again as Ember narrowed her eyes and did what she could to get the male off of her.... even doing the highly dangerous stunt of throwing electricity through her body, shocking the male, where ever he touched her...
"What.....the....hell..."

The boy fell back as electricity ran though him, but he stood up, unfazed. Pain no longer registered in his brain, and his eyes no longer held any hint of intelligence. He only knew one thing... Death. He pulled out a long dirk and stabbed downward at Ember's heart.
Countless threads wrapped around him and pulled him back. Zero grabbed the back of his head and smashed his face into the wall in the hallway, "You idiot! You'd actually pick a fight here... where I'm at my strongest?" He continued in a much quieter voice, "And you'd attack taichou of all people..."

Ember started to get up painfully, using things around her to lean on and help her stand. "Zero, take him out of this house and do what you will with him. We don't need anymore blood getting inside of here." Her voice wasn't as loud as it used to be and she seemed at her weakest. However she still forced herself up and to seem strong. Weakness was something she refused to let anyone see.... however, it seemed that Zero was always freaking around when she was about to get hurt or such...

Zero glanced at her quickly, "Fine..." Then he took the boy by the hair and dragged him out the door, tossing him onto the ground. He slid a knife out of his sleeve and caught it deftly in his hand, then looked at the boy with gleaming eyes. "For your betrayal... You die."
But before he could strike the finishing blow, another man appeared in front of the boy. Zero looked at him incredulously, "What? Where did you come from?"
The man made no sound in reply; instead he drew his blade and sliced it down next to the boy. Zero watched in awe as the threads entangling him vanished. Then the man grabbed the boy's collar, and they both disappeared instantly.
Zero stood watching the spot where they had just been. "He... He cut my threads..." But only someone who can sharpen their blades with their own energy can do that...

Ember sighed as she leaned against the wall near the doorway, one of their medics rushing in before helping her sit down. Soon they had stitched and bandaged her back up before leaving two assassins to guard her room until Zero returned, which by then she would probably be asleep...

An irritated frown crossed Zero's face as he knelt down on the spot where the two had just been. He touched his palm to the ground, his brows furrowing. His threads were still intact. Nothing had been damaged inside his network. So how had that man managed to sneak in undetected?
He glanced around him restlessly. There was something missing here, something was not right. If he could just figure it out... But he lacked information. He finally stood up and shook his head in defeat; he had more important things to do. On that note, he turned abruptly and started back toward Ember's room at an urgent walk.

Ember sighed as she laid back down on the bed, a slightly annoyed look on her face. If there was something she hated the most... it was being injured and unable to do much..

A sharp knock sounded on the door to Ember's room, and without waiting for a reply from within, it swung open. In three long strides Zero was across the room, standing at the side of Ember's bed with a quiet intensity. In a rasp whisper he began, "Taichou, Kinou and Emile are dead." His eyes, devoid of emotion, searched her face, waiting for some form of recognition or confidence to show across her features. He would've been reassured had she still shown no emotion, as long as she did not appear to be as confused or surprised as he felt. He had never been this unsure of himself; his abilities should have prevented this from happening. They had never failed him before. What had gone wrong?
