Author's Note: So as I type now, I'm also trying to learn the Hail Mary in Spanish. I've got so far, "Dios te Salve maria...es contigo...de gracia? Hey, by the way,thank you for all your reviews! I'm not even kidding, I'm so glad people like my story and as the plot unfolds, I hope you like it even more!
And if you all are confused, Eiyo is five. I made him five for a reason, one being five year olds talk a lot and they're honest. Have you ever tried holding a conversation with one and then you try to drift away from them and then they follow you? They're sweet and trust worthy.
Okay so my good friend Samerys707 kindly informed me of a problem that is going to affect all of us on here. Our corrupt government wants to block all websites having to do with fanfiction or fan art because of the online piracy act. Honestly, the government has too much to deal with. Are they really going to deal with what the common people do when they have shit to deal with in office, like real shit such as war, foreign affairs, etc. Honestly, it's so repulsing that they think they can do this, it just pisses me off. So in short, I don't want this site to be banned and neither do you guys, so there is a petition to sign, but I don't have the link. WHEN I GET IT, I will post it on my page and we will all sign it so we can keep sites like fanfiction with all its amazing authors and Deviantart and others!

"Who...who was that man?" Eiyo asked as flipped through the channels of the television. Takaba sat next to him on the bed, checking the amount of money the two had left, on a borrowed hotel computer and searching for jobs. Eiyo's question caught him off guard, as he placed the computer aside and looked at the young boy.

"He's no one_"

"Takaba," Eiyo's tone had changed drastically as he turned to face Takaba, wearing the most serious expression a five year old could muster. "I don't like liars. You're lying to me!"

Takaba sighed and turned to face him, staring at him...not at all sure what to say. "It's nothing Eiyo! I promise."

"Then why did he come after us? Why did he grab you the way he did_"

Eiyo's voice was escalating and there was obvious worry in it. This pained Takaba as he carefully put a hand over Eiyo's mouth and pulled him into a hug. Not much to his surprise, Eiyo began to cry, which was reasonable. Eiyo had kept quiet during the whole train ride, only playing with his glasses, but now was the time for him to let his emotions out, like a five year old should. This whole ordeal had been stressful, for both of them. It seemed that Eiyo knew how to keep everything in, but after a certain point he just crashed.

"I'm a little scared." Eiyo whispered into Takaba's chest. "That something will happen_"

"I'll keep you safe, Eiyo." Takaba rubbed Eiyo's hair.

"But what about you?"

Takaba didn't say anything after that.

He just held Eiyo in a tight embrace and looked at the large TV hanging on the wall. He couldn't help but ponder on what Eiyo had said and for once, he had actually heard Eiyo use his real name.

OoOoOoOo

"He really is trying to evade me." Asami's voice rang through his office as once again Kirishima stood there, listening diligently. Keiko sat quietly, not daring to say a word. "He isn't going to get that far. Nagasaki, he said?"

Kirishima nodded. "They are in Kyoto now, but Nagasaki will be their next and final stop, before now. After that, I don't have any valuable information to give you."

Asami half glared at Kirishima as he tapped his fingers on the desk. "And why did you fail to retrieve them? A malnourished man and a five year old were too much of a challenge for you?"Kirishima didn't say anything, he only stared ahead, past Asami, almost as if he was reminiscing on something. Asami took note of this, and unsurprisingly, looked disappointed. Kirishima chuckled a bit and turned to face Asami.

"I'm sorry Asami." Kirishima's voice was mellow. "But I don't believe you deserve Takaba," He took a deep breath. "Or Eiyo." He actually smiled as he looked at his boss. "I had Takaba within my grasp, he escaped and I chose to let him go, I chose to let him be free. I can't stand the fact that you want nothing to do but cage him, cage both of them." He shrugged, as if he knew that he had just easily spoken away his life. But for someone like Takaba, for someone who was only meant to be free, it was more than worth it. "I'm sorry Asami, but after today, I will not be working for you any longer."

Asami stood as Kirishima turned away.

The secretary never saw his boss withdraw a gun from his suit jacket. The last thing he heard was a shrilling scream from Keiko and after that, a painful pressure ripped through his head. Seconds later, everything went dark.

OoOoOoO

Two months had passed, to stressful months, but at the same time, two promising months.

Both Takaba and Eiyo had reached Nagasaki like they planned, however, Takaba had less money than he thought, not even enough to pay a month's rent.

Takaba went straight to searching for a job and luckily, he landed one at a small editorial department in the local area. He used a borrowed camera at first from his job, and snapped a few pictures of the local town like he was used to, and much to his surprise, the editor, his new boss, liked them.

His portfolio began to grow, and undeniably, his paycheck as well, not to mention he received promotion after promotion for the pictures he took. Different companies saw his photos in the local paper, they contacted him for small offers that turned out to be linked to different things, bigger things.

He accepted offers he felt more comfortable with and in time, not only did he bring in more money for both he and Eiyo, but the two were able to move out of their apartment complex and into a nice small house, Takaba also bought his own camera. The house wasn't huge, but it was perfect for both he and Eiyo. It resided on the countryside, not to far from civilization, just a bus ride away.

Now that Takaba had a stable life (somewhat) his primary goals focused not just on his life from there on out, but Eiyo's as well. One weekend, when he was off, he decided to take Eiyo to a local public school in Nagasaki so he could apply for the following semester. Upon meeting the principal and letting her know he wanted to enrol Eiyo, she immediately prepared a placement test for him.

Eiyo claimed it was difficult for him, but Takaba didn't worry that much.

However, when an urgent note from the principal called for a meeting regarding Eiyo's scores, Takaba began to worry.

OoOoOoO

Mrs. Himeko was a kind person, Takaba had heard, but he was still nervous as both he and Eiyo entered her office, shutting the door behind them. She had the test booklet laying on her desk, as she looked over it with confusion in her eyes and some disbelief.

Takaba studied her before she noticed they were in her office. She had long straight black hair, a pale but youthful complexion, bright blue eyes a calm air. She wore a pink ladies blouse and black slacks that day. She seemed rather shocked when she saw that the two had entered her room without her knowing.

"Oh...I'm sorry!" She closed the book and smiled. "Mr. Takaba, I'm glad you made it...and you as well Eiyo."

"Yeah." Takaba said less than pleased. "I was kind of nervous..."

"Oh, about the test?" She sounded somewhat somber when she spoke, even causing Eiyo to grow concerned.

"Did...I do bad?" His voice was soft as he spoke, fiddling with his fingers.

"Well, that depends." She handed Takaba the book. "Of what you think 'bad' is. In my personal opinion, it would have been bad. But not for the reason you think..."

Takaba opened it, expecting to see red marks and horrid results, but instead, he saw the opposite. "He scored perfectly?"

She shook her head. "Not perfectly. That would imply he was eligible for kindergarten. He just turned a few months ago, right?"

Takaba nodded.

"Well he isn't eligible for kindergarten because..." She sighed. "He tested out of kindergarten, and first grade. His performance makes it eligible for him to be in second grade."

Both Eiyo and Takaba stared at each other. "What does that mean?" Eiyo asked.

"It's great, but..." She itched her head. "But I think it would benefiet you Eiyo, to start school with children your age. But ultimately, it's Mr. Takaba's decision, whether you skip or not"

Takaba frowned and glanced at Eiyo. "We have until August to decide?"

"Yes, but I think we should start a plan now. If you don't mind, I'm going to contact my supervisor about Eiyo. Then the three of us can figure out something for him, I'm pretty sure he'll know what to do and where to place him. In addition, the program doesn't get a child like Eiyo every day."

She smiled, stood and extended her hand. Takaba took hold of it and shook it, looking into her eyes, judging whether or not he could trust her. Her eyes were bright, but held an inevitable amount of power and authority. The air about her was peaceful, but it seemed like something was off about her.

She smiled when she moved from her desk and walked over to Eiyo, gently placing a hand on his brown hair. "Eiyo..." She said quietly. "Sounds like it should be Meiyo. Either way, I think the same meaning applies..."

Takaba watched as she just stared at Eiyo.

She took a step back and there was something different in her eyes, almost like realization. But quickly, she turned away and faced Takaba.

"It was nice meeting you, I look forward to seeing you again, with my supervisor!"

OoOoOoO

"I know you won't betray me," Asami spoke in a monotonous voice. "Because you have nothing to live for." Yoh didn't protest, as he listened to Asami who sat across the restaurant table. "Kirishima's demise wasn't of any importance. I hold little value for a pawn who believes he has the right to speak out against me."

Yoh stared stone face, but spoke silently. "I'd never betray you." He breathed. "I've worked for you for years and see no reason to go against you."

Asami smiled. "And you haven't turned against me, you've remained faithful, even cutting off all ties with your beloved Fei Long." Asami's smile grew wider as he saw a small amount of emotion of Yoh's face. It appeared the Chinese Mafia boss still had a place in Yoh's heart and because of Asami, Yoh had let him slip away. It pleased him, to see that Yoh was so easily patronized. "I hear he may be married, to a normal man, a doctor. No one involved in the mafia business."

Yoh nodded. "Fei Long was in the past and while I loved him, it was nearly impossible to get him to return the feelings, however, I protected him and that's all that matters. Whether he loved me, or not." He paused. " But that is in the past...and now is the present. It would benefit both of us, if we dwelled in the present rather than falling back in the past."

Asami was somewhat taken back by Yoh's statement, but nevertheless, brushed it off and continued. "I have a simple assignment for you, regarding Takaba Akihito."

Yoh rose an eyebrow. "You killed_"

"No, he's still alive." Asami spoke. At that moment, a waitress came by with her tray, placing drinks on their table. She looked at them in curiosity and proceeded to ask for their order, Asami only fanned her away.

Yoh drank some of his wine and stared at Asami. "He's alive?"

"Very much actually...in fact, he's managed to get himself in some trouble again."

Yoh rose an eyebrow. "Meaning?"

"He ran away."

There was silence that went through, as Yoh made way to exhale a heavy breath that he had not realized he was holding. "Do you want me to retrieve him?"

"No, at least not yet. For now, I want you to keep tabs on him for a few months. Give me detailed reports on him. As of now, he should be in Nagasaki, it's your job to find out where, however. Report to me the very moment you find out his location, but do not attempt to capture him. Leave that part to me."

Yoh nodded. "Is there anything else I need to know?"

"He has a boy with him." Asami sighed. "He's a distraction and is perhaps the main reason why Takaba has escaped. When I give you the order, I want you to kill him. His name is Eiyo, and he is a pest."

Yoh could've protested, but he didn't. He knew of Asami's wrath, and sadly, not even children were excused from it.

Like the emotionless man Yoh was taught to be, he just accepted his assignment with an empty heart. Day after day, night after night, he lived walking in the shadows of others. He had let his life slip between his fingers, and he'd even let the man he loved marry another.

Yoh's heart had been beaten, destroyed, put back together and sewn back into his chest. That is why he held so little regard for Eiyo, a child. He was just another pest to exterminate, another object in Asami's way.

It seems like people hate me all over! There is this website called "Mangago" and it just seems like...folks are trying to start something, saying I'm using multiple names to ask for fanfictions or crap...anyway, that's not true! I use one name and one name ony, that is Yamiga!
My sister Lidsworth and I went to our school's talent show and both of our crushes particpated. My sister's did a magic act, while mine sang a love song...for another girl. Moving right along. So, some people...I mean, if you know you can't sing, then why would you...I mean, I'm not a professional singer I'm not the best singer, and I know I'd never sing on a stage because I can't. I'd play guitar or piano, but not sing and some poeple well...just don't know that. I don't wanna sound mean, but I felt so bad for folks when they were geting laughed at. Like two of my friends couldn't stop laughing. Anyway, who am I to judge.

Worldy issues...

Come on, Obama...what are you doing? We're screwed up here as much as it is...we can't afford to give any money to anyone.

So, let's pray for Obama, let's pray for the Malayasian airline, Russia, Ukraine and lastly Venezuela, there is a revolution going on there if you didn't know. And Ryuakilover whose family was killed in an accident.

Review, tell me what you think. I don't own the Finder Series.
