(looks back over last chappy) Aww, poor Travis...bad Kousuke! Bad Rio! Bad...someone else! Poor kid...(sigh). Oh well, enjoy!

Mimi-chan: Of course you can guess, the game's open to everyone! Eh...not C...heh...glad to know you like the story, though. Thanks for reviewing! Oh...sorry I didn't respond to your review for Trapped...thanks for reviewing that, too, though!

Polaris18: Most likely. I just can't see him going after Rio. I don't know, though, like Kanone said, he is a real tight-ass with Travis around...Oh...summer break will be hell for you...how the hell are you going to keep up? I'm fairly certain at least this fic and Surrender To Me will be done by then, though, so that's two less that you'll have to worry about. Though, who knows what other ones I'll come up with...hmm...well, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Thanks for reviewing!

Answer:The quote was from Kanone to Ayumu. The episode was The Lamenting Angel.

Points: Polaris18:oh...shit, you won! That last quote put you up to 9 points with 5 bonus points...so, congrats! Umm, I don't really have a set prize, so just whatever you want, I guess. Let me know, though.

CeTe:6

A/N: Hey, if you all haven't read psychotikitten's fics, Lake of Hope and his new one 100 Ways to say I Love You, go now! He's an amazing author, but no one's reviewed his fics (don't know why...). Anyway, go check them out, you won't regret it! And check out Ri kun a.k.a E.H.P.oP.'s fics, too (Deadly Cupid and Named Eyes, for a Reason and other oneshots). Anything else... oh, Polaris18's fics, Memories, Preferences, and Search for happiness...CeTe's fic, Dysfunctional...alright, I think that's it, lol. If you haven't read any or all of those fics, go do it! Oh, and in case you're sticking around for this fic, maybe I should get to it!

Kalelle had given up on doing anything else and collapsed on the couch to await Kanone's return. He knew what his brother was risky, but he also knew it was necessary, "For Travis." he thought, looking around wondering where the boy had run off to. He was about to check his and Ayumu's bedroom since that was where he had seen him and Rio last, but paused as the door swung open. A smile graced his lips as he saw his brother walking towards him, "That was quick." he noted.

"That was a waste of time." Kanone corrected him, looking around.

"Where's Travis?" Eyes asked, alarmed when he saw neither his brother nor Rio where he had left them.

"He's not in there?" Kalelle asked, slightly confused.

Eyes shook his head, "Where's Rio?"

"Went out." Kousuke informed them, walking into the kitchen.

"Out?" Kanone repeated, "That was a bit irresponsible of her."

"Have you seen Travis?" Eyes asked, getting more worried by the second.

Kousuke looked from the three boys to Ayumu and Kalelle's room, "He's not in their room?"

"No, he's not." Eyes replied, annoyed.

"Don't tell me Rio left you in charge." Kanone said, fearing the worst if such had happened.

"Yeah, but I thought he was in Ayumu and Kalelle's room." Kousuke said, frowning.

Eyes swallowed hard, realizing the reality of what had happened. Travis was missing, and the Hunters were no where to be found. He very easily put two and two together and glared at Kousuke, "You should have known better than to leave him on his own." he said, accusingly.

"Eyes." Kanone whispered, turning his boyfriend's face towards him, "Don't get all worked up over blaming people..."

"Shut up." Eyes snapped, yanking his face from Kanone's hands, "Don't you dare tell me not to overreact."

Kanone traded glances with his brother and Kousuke, "You're right, you have every right to be upset, but blaming people isn't going to help." he reasoned. Eyes glared at all of them, and without another word, turned and walked out the door he had entered not five minutes ago. He couldn't spend time being reasonable right now, he needed to find Travis. Though, where he would start, he had no idea.

Back inside, Kalelle bit his bottom lip, "Did something happen at the hotel?"

Kanone shook his head, "Nothing happened, that's the problem."

"What do you mean nothing?" Ayumu asked, joining the group in the living room.

"I mean no one was there. We ran into some girl that worked there, annoying wench, and she said that everyone one had left with no message of where they were or when they were returning."

Ayumu and Kalelle understood immediately, but Kousuke (as usual) was lost, "So what?" he asked.

Kanone refrained from hitting Kousuke upside the head, and Kalelle answered the question, "So, that means that the Hunters are m.i.a., as is Travis."

That time, Kousuke got it, "Oh." he said, "Oh." he repeated, now understanding why Eyes was so pissed.

"Oh." Kanone echoed, sarcastically, "Now Eyes is who knows where..." he sighed, "I know he's worried, but did he have to..." he trailed off.

Kalelle smiled softly and pulled Kanone into a hug, "He's just worried, that's all. I know I would have done a lot more than just storm off if I couldn't find you."

Kanone smiled at Kalelle, "I know." he agreed, knowing he would freak if Kalelle went missing. He rested his head on the older one's shoulder, "Thanks."

Kousuke smirked and joined Ayumu, "I think he's stealing your boyfriend." he informed the brunette.

The latter just raised an eyebrow at him, "You do know they're brothers, right?"

Kousuke shrugged before heading off towards his and Ryoko's room, "And technically Ryoko and I are brother and sister, that doesn't stop us."

Ayumu glanced to the brothers, "What's he talking about?"

The two just traded glances and shrugged, "You could call him." Kalelle suggested. Kanone nodded and pulled out his phone to do just that.

Eyes glared at his phone as it began ringing. He flipped it open, "What?" he demanded, figuring it was Kanone; someone he really didn't want to talk to right not.

"Well, that's not a very nice way to greet your baby brother's captives, now is it?" Turner asked, chuckling.

"Where is he?" Eyes demanded for the third time that night.

"Where is who?" Turner asked, innocently, "I simply recieved a message that Eyes Rutherford was here looking for me, and decided to return the call."

Eyes glared and snapped his phone shut, "If he lays a hand on him..." He shook his head, not wanting to even consider that possibility. He promised Travis he would be safe, and he would be damned if he would break that promise.

"Rio!" Nik called waving a hand.

"Hi!" Rio greeted him, making her way over to the table he was sitting at, the same one they had the last time they were at this restraunt.

"Hey." Nik said, grinning, "So, you planning on staying the entire time this time?"

Rio pouted slightly, "It's not my fault..." she began, but Nik cut her off with a chuckle.

"I know it's not, relax." He placed their orders and then glanced at Rio, "So, how are things?"

Rio suspected he was talking about Ryoko, "Fine." she said, looking down at her hands, "Ryoko's doing a lot better and everything's back to normal. At least...at least for now."

Nik frowned slightly at the slightly fearful tone in her voice, "What do you mean by that?"

Rio looked up at him, "You know exactly what I mean." she told him, "We're Blade Children...our lives will never be normal, not completely."

Nik frowned, "I guess you're right about that." he agreed, feeling slightly bad because he was part of that reason. Thier food finally arrived and he smiled at Rio, "Blade Child or not, you've still got to eat!" Rio nodded and dug into her pasta as Nik followed suit, wondering how much longer he'd have to stall her.

"Did you call him?" Wallace asked, entering the lobby from the elevator.

Turner nodded, "He should be here any moment now." he glanced to the younger Hunter, "You're sure you can handle him?"

Wallace grinned, "I'll be fine, what are you going to do about the rest?"

The older one smirked, "If Eyes thinks his brother will be in danger if anyone else attempts to help him, he won't risk it."

"So you're using the kid to threaten him?"

Turner thought about it for a second then shrugged, "It won't matter either way. They'll all be dead in a few hours."

"You're sure about this? What if something goes wrong?"

"Like what?" Turner demanded, "It's a simple enough plan. We get them all deep enough into the hotel, we leave, we detonate the bombs, and boom."

Wallace chuckled a little, "Boom?"

"Well, that is the general sound bombs make when they explode."

The younger one nodded in agreement, "Boom it is."

Hmm, what now? They think everyone's coming...but only Eyes is. Poor Travis, he's so little and young and innocent, he's not even five yet! (screams) Leave the kid alone! Heh...I'm calm. Oh well, I guess that's what he gets for being one of the Blade Children. Poor kid...review!

"Which one of us will death drag away? Can you guess?"

a)The Choice of the Nonbeliever

b)The Lamenting Angel

c)Like A Swan

d)Cursed Children

Good luck!
