Wow, I actually had part of this typed up already...yay for less work! Er... anyway, enjoy!
Anime-Lover-95: Well, of course I'm evil! Ha! Finally got around to updating, though, so I'm not that evil...right? Ah well, thanks for reviewing!
Solo Maxwell-Yamato: Mwhahaha (surrounds her with KiyoAyu) You sooooo care, you love Kanone, and you know it! Admit it now, denial won't save you! Thanks for reviewing!
Polaris18: No clue, maybe you don't have it on alert? Oh well, at least you still got to it! I did no such thing, I never steal! Well... plots, characters, etc, anyway... Besides, I had the chappy up before I even read your fic. Thanks for reviewing!
ShadedRouge: Yup, technically, all the Blade Children are half brothers and half sisters. Since they all have the same father (kind of.. father, creator, whatever), Yaiba, but they have different mothers. Thanks for reviewing!
Red Kitsune Flames: Well, Eriol does have those stalker tendencies... Thanks for reviewing!
The next morning, Eyes walked out from his bedroom after finally getting some rest. He'd been up most of the night, thinking about what Kiyotaka's reappearance could mean and why the older man had shown back up so suddenly. He looked around the main room of his penthouse to see that Ayumu was asleep on the couch and the older Narumi was nowhere to be seen. He made his way over to the sleeping boy and sat next to him, running a few pale fingers through the messy hair. His mind began to wonder again, "Eriol, Kiyotaka... why have you two shown up after so long?" Eyes hadn't seen his twin in years, so it was more than suspicious that he'd show up again like this. A simple sigh was enough to stir Ayumu, who yawned and stretched before blinking and looking up to the silver-haired boy.
"Mm...morning." he mumbled, yawning again and curling up to the other body.
An amused smile played across Eyes' face as he kissed the mop of brown hair, "Good morning, where's your brother?" he wondered.
A brown eye opened to scan the living room, "I don't know, he was here last night." Ayumu commented, sitting up and leaning into the older one, "Maybe he had to take care of some things, or go see Madoka or something." he suggested, not at all believing that Kiyotaka would be out plotting against him or his lover. After all, he'd been so kind the night before. Though, this was ignoring that fact that Kiyotaka wasn't a very kind person to begin with. Of course, Ayumu would ignore that if it meant having his brother back. It wasn't a smart move, but when matters of the heart were concerned, logic seemed to be forgotten.
"I'm sure." Rutherford replied, a bit sarcastically. He mentally shook his head at the boy's naive assumptions; as if he really could believe that Kiyotaka was going to be a decent brother when he never had been before.
Ayumu just shrugged it off and wrapped his arms around the Brit's neck, "Sorry, I fell asleep out here last night." he murmured.
"I noticed." the Blade Child replied, a little coldly. Kiyotaka had been back less than a day, and yet he was already taking up more of Ayumu's time then his own boyfriend. The brunette shrunk back a little at the tone, making the older one immediately regret being so harsh. If he were in Ayumu's position, he'd probably be just as willing to believe his brother. Besides, Ayumu had tried so hard to find the elder one, it was expected that he'd act in such a manner when the object of his search finally returned. Shaking his head, Eyes wrapped the smaller boy in his arms, saying nothing more. Ayumu understood, though, as he usually did, and smiled slightly. Leaning into the embrace, he closed his eyes again and sighed contently. A minute later, the silver-haired boy glanced down to ask his lover a question, only to find the boy asleep again. Chuckling lightly, he laid the brunette down and covered him up before walking out of the suite and into the city streets
Golden eyes glanced to the boy next to him, "So, tell me, dear," the southern accent broke the silence, "why are you approaching me at such a time?"
The younger one shrugged, "I just got some time to myself and decided what better way to spend it then messing with my dear brother."
Kanone chuckled and shook his head. He'd never understand how siblings could rival one another in such a manner. True, he and his own brother weren't on the friendliest of terms, but they'd never go behind each other's backs like Eriol was doing. Pulling up outside his apartment, Kanone looked to the lighter-haired boy, "So, where are you staying?" he wondered.
The shorter boy just shrugged, "Nowhere as of yet." he informed him, "Is that an offer?"
An eyebrow shot up at the forward question, "I suppose it could be." He baited, smirking slightly.
"Well..." Eriol leaned over to Kanone's side of the car, placing a hand on his thigh, "I'd simply love to."
Deciding a small game wouldn't hurt, the brunette returned the affection by running his fingers lightly over the back of the pale hand, "Oh?" he murmured, "And why is that?"
A light chuckle of minty-fresh breath blew past Kanone's ears as the younger one leaned in a bit more, "Why wouldn't I want to spend more time with you, dear Kanone?" he asked, hypothetically.
"I can't imagine." Their eyes locked and their faces drew even closer, lips almost brushing against each other, "After all..." he trailed off, closing his eyes and raising his hand to lightly trail through silvery locks.
"Hm?" Eriol muttered, softly kissing his bottom lip.
Another smirk played across Kanone's lips, "Doesn't every little brother want what their older one already had?" Eriol's startled expression only widened the smirk as Kanone opened his door and stepped out of the car. Blue eyes narrowed in slight annoyance as the younger one mimicked the actions and followed Kanone inside the apartment.
"Jerk." Was heard muttered as the door clicked shut, followed by a brief laugh with a southern twinge.
Kind of short, but the next chappy will (hopefully) tell where Kiyotaka has gone and who is supposedly on whose side. We know it's Kanone vs. Ayumu and Eyes right now... but who will Eriol and Kiyotaka side with? I'm going to shut up now and say review!
