Hmm, so, what do you think? Will they all go boom? Lol, that would be a way to end the fic, and none of you are expecting me to actually do it...because I'd never hurt poor little Travis! Bastards, sons of bitches...(cough). Anyway...enjoy!
CeTe: You know what? This isn't the first time you've threatened to take a virtual frying pan to my head...Heh, Kousuke made a point...that should be what scares you. Hmm, bladecest, I think I saw it called once. They get their own level of pervertedness, as is fitting with...them (and by them I mean Kanone). Thanks for reviewing!
Polaris18: Yeah, that's why I made Travis almost 5 but not quite yet. He's not being hunted, per say, though (that's their loophole). He's bait, and if something happens to him...well, they'll just overlook that, I suppose...Evil, I know. Thanks for reviewing!
Answer: The quote is from Rio to Ayumu. The episode is The Choice of the Nonbeliever.

Eyes was making his way to the hotel when his phone rang yet again. Annoyed, he held it up to his ear, not bothering to waste his breath on whomever it might be. After a second, that southern accent found its way to his ear, "Eyes?" it asked, wavering slightly, though Eyes didn't know why. He said nothing, still being slightly upset with Kanone, though by now he wasn't sure it was just his concern for Travis that sparked his anger. When he didn't respond, the boy on the other end continued, "Eyes, I know you're upset with me, but..." he trailed off, and Eyes heard a soft sigh on the other end, "I want to help you."
"Help me?" the Blade Child thought, "How can you possibly help me, Kanone?" It was only then that the silver-haired teen realized exactly how much he was overreacting. Kanone hadn't done a thing to deserve this cold treatment, "Meet me at the hotel." Was his only reply before snapping his phone shut and heading to the said place himself.
Kanone shut his phone, sighing, and looked to his brother and Ayumu, "Well?" the older twin asked.
"He said to meet him at the hotel." Kanone informed the two.
"Weren't you just at the hotel, though?" Ayumu asked, confused.
Kanone nodded his confirmation, and Kalelle spoke up, "Let's get going, then."
The youngest one glanced to his boyfriend, "Shouldn't someone stay here?" he suggested.
"Kousuke and Ryoko are here." Ayumu reminded him, "While Kousuke may be an incompetent fool, Ryoko can handle things."
"Unless they realize they have the entire place to themselves and screw like bunnies." Kanone pointed out, smirking at the glare his brother gave him.
"The only two here that sleep together that much are you and Eyes."
Kanone raised an eyebrow at this, "Oh, and what of Ayumu and you?"
Kalelle smirked, pulling Ayumu close, "We put bunnies to shame." he stated, a little too proudly.
The chocolate-haired boy next to him just shook his head, "That's not something to be proud of." he informed Kalelle, "It's not like you're ever going to get anything besides a disease from having so much sex."
Kanone held back a laugh at the priceless look on his brother's face, "I don't sleep with anyone except you." he told Ayumu, "Unless you have some disease you're not telling me about."
Ayumu just shook his head, "Not unless Kanone does."
Said boy's brother turned to him, eyeing him up and down, "Shit." Kalelle commented under his breath.
"I heard that." the younger brother said, and Ayumu grabbed his boyfriend's hand, heading towards the door.
"We should get going, don't want to keep Eyes waiting." he suggested, then leaned in towards Kalelle, "You really shouldn't joke around with him about that kind of stuff." he whispered.
The older one glanced behind him before turning back to Ayumu, "Why not? Does he really have something?"
Ayumu shrugged, "I really don't know, but he could!"
This last comment was said a little too loud, and Kanone stalked towards the two, "If the Hunters don't kill you two, I will." he informed them.
Kalelle grinned and pulled Ayumu along with him and out the door, "It seems you may have already given us aids, what more can you do?" he called, laughing at the look Ayumu shot him. The two hurried ahead of a glaring Kanone, who was plotting revenge on the two as they so innocently made fun of him.
Eyes once again entered the hotel, the Hunters' grounds. He looked around cautiously, knowing they'd have some sort of trap set up. He knew he should have waited for Kanone and whoever he brought with him, but he didn't want to waste any time getting to Travis. So, against his better judgement, he proceeded deeper into the lobby, coming to a stop when he was in the middle. He was leaving himself pretty vulnerable, but he knew it would draw the Hunters out.
Sure enough, a few moments later, blue eyes darted to the side where he heard approaching footsteps. There, he glared at who he saw; he had never liked the man, and this situation wasn't helping any. In fact, not liking him was being incredibly generous-something that Eyes wasn't feeling like being at the moment. He hated this man, pure and simple, and despised the chuckled that arose from his throat, "Well, Eyes, it's been a while. How's dear Kanone?" he asked, grinning at the glare.
"That's none of your business." Eyes snapped, "Tell me where my brother is."
"Ah, yes, young Travis. He's quite the cute one, isn't he? I'd absolutely love to see what makes him cry."
It didn't take much for Eyes to snap, and he was on Connor in a second, pinning him to the floor and growling, "If you laid a single finger on him..." he threatened.
A spark of fear flashed in the older man's eyes, but it soon cleared, "Kill me now, and you'll never find him."
Eyes' glare deepened, "I have my ways." he growled.
Connor studied the azure eyes, and realized he might not be joking. The reality that he no longer had any tricks up his sleeves dawned on him, so he was thankful for the distraction of the main doors opening. The silver-haired boy couldn't help but glance out of the corner of his eye at the newcomers, and Connor took that opportunity to push him off and jump up. He grinned at the three approaching boys as Eyes took his place next to his boyfriend, "Hey there, Kanone." he greeted, smirking, "How have you been?"
Kanone glared at the man, grabbing Eyes' hand as a reassurance that he was no longer upset with him. When Eyes didn't pull away, Kanone turned his attention back to Connor, "What are you doing here?" he demanded.
"Well, I'm in charge of the hostages." he informed the four boys.
"Hostages." Kalelle repeated, "More than one?"
Connor glanced to the other twin, "Well, there's that cute little kid we took earlier, and then you three. So, yeah, hostages."
Eyes heard a small growl emit from Kanone's throat, "What did you do with Travis?" Eyes squeezed his hand sightly, touched at how protective he was of the youngest member of their group.
"Don't worry, you'll be seeing him shortly." Connor assured him, turning to hide his grin, "In fact, I'll take you to him right now." The four didn't waste a bit of time trailing after him. They knew it was a trap, but the three ex-Hunters also knew that the Blade Child among them couldn't care less. Connor paused, glancing over his shoulder, "I'm sorry, no Blade Children allowed beyond this point." he said, smirking at the glare he recieved from all four boys, "Company policy."
"Like hell." Eyes growled, in no mood to be told he couldn't see Travis.
Kanone quickly calmed him down with a kiss, "It's alright. The three of us will be down there with him." he whispered in an attempt to comfort Eyes, "You can trust him with us."
Seeing he had no choice in the matter, Eyes nodded and let Kanone's hand go, without another word. The latter followed after Connor with his brother and Ayumu, "If you try anything, we'll kill you." he promised.
"If you kill me, everyone else will go after your precious Eyes." Connor told him, smirking smugly.
Kanone's olive-green eyes narrowed at that statement, but he shook thoughts of losing Eyes off, "He can take care of himself." he shot back.
A small frown covered the Hunter's lips, "We'll see." he said, turning, "Let's go." Kanone shot a small, reassuring smile towards his boyfriend before disappearing into the elevator.
It didn't take long before Eyes heard two more sets of footsteps coming towards him. He turned to see Wallace and Turner emerge from the latter's office, "Well, now that you're alone, we can finally begin." The silver-haired Blade Child said nothing, but waited for the older one to continue, "As you already know, we have those four being held hostage three floors below this one. If you can get to them in time, and get out, then you'll live." A chuckle followed this statement, "Of course, if not..." he grinned and looked to Wallace.
"Boom." the latter finished for him, "And you had better hurry. You've only got 10 minutes."
Without another word to either of the men, Eyes turned, opting for the stairs, and headed down to the lower levels of the hotel. Wallace turned to the older Hunter, "Do you think we should have told him that they're not all in the same place?" he wondered.
Turner chuckled and turned to leave, "Why in the world would we do that?" he asked, "Our goal here is to exterminate them, why would we give them a fair chance at survival?"
"You realize if they do survive, we'll have hell to pay." the younger one pointed out.
The other man stopped and turned to him, frowning, "How do you figure? Even if they do manage to get out alive, we've got another little suprise for them."
"Suprise?" Wallace echoed, "What suprise?"
A low chuckle met this question, "You'll see." was the only response he gave. Confused, Wallace followed his boss out of the hotel, wondering what sort of suprise he had up his sleeve.
"It's okay." Kanone whispered, hugging Travis close, "Eyes will be here soon enough."
"What then?" Travis asked through tears, "He can't get to us." Kanone hated to admit it, but the kid had a point. They were virtually inaccessable in the position they were in now, he realized, as he surveyed their surroundings once more. The room looked innocent enough, but in actuality the entire thing was one big trap. The particular piece of floor they were standing on was very sensitive, reacting to even the slightest bit of weight change, destroying any chances of them simply walking off the thing. Even if they could find an appropriate replacement for themselves on the weight-sensitive section of the floor, the rest of the room was just as deadly. Trip wires and hidden panels that were triggered by stepping on them lie every few feet, setting off any number of traps from flying daggers to sections of the floor simply dropping out, the next solid piece of ground lying 40 feet below and being made of cement.
Kanone kissed the small boy's forehead, tears threatening to escape his eyes as he realized they might both die there. He didn't want to lose faith in Eyes, but their situation was desperate enough that even he was breaking. He knew, though, he had to stay strong until the end for the sake of the child in his arms. He swallowed hard, pushing his fears to the back of his mind, and tilting Travis' face up to meet with his, "Come on, now. Do you think Eyes would just leave us here?" he asked, "He loves both of us too much to simply abandon us, and we've come too far to get you to give up now. We'll get out of here, one way or another." Travis nodded, putting his faith into Kanone's empty words and promises. For all he knew, Eyes already had everything figured out and he was on his way to rescue them right now. Of course, Kanone knew better, and could only wish he had the security that the naive boy did; the assurance that everything really would be alright. Sighing, he pulled Travis into another hug and closed his eyes, his thoughts traveling to his lover as he waited for him.
