Everyone decided to regroup at Eyes and Kanone's place; the girls hadn't cleaned their place for a while and Kousuke had been at the hospital with Ayumu. Besides, the married men's place was just nicer in general. Definitely cleaner and Kanone refused to have Hiyono in a dirty environment. Ayumu smiled at his concern and handed said baby off to him while he went to the bathroom. Kanone took Hiyono and thought again of how messed up her life already was; she was automatically involved with the Blade Children and no matter how many treaties or agreements they signed with as many Hunters as they wanted to, their fate really couldn't be avoided. Kanone knew this and realized that in a few years they would have to face their destiny. But for now Kanone wanted to just enjoy life to the best of his abilities. When Eyes placed a hand on his shoulder to snap him back to reality, Kanone realized that when he told his husband of their true fate, he would most likely be angry with him for keeping it a secret. Kanone honestly hoped that this wouldn't happen, but it was inevitable, maybe he should just tell Eyes...

"Kanone?" Eyes repeated, "Are you alright?"

Kanone realized that every eye in the room was on him and he smiled as he turned to Eyes, "Of course, I'm just thinking."

"About what?" Eyes asked, not wanting Kanone to avoid him.

Kanone thought for a brief second, "About Hiyono." he wasn't lying completely, he had originally been thinking about his daughter, "And how we're going to baby-proof the apartment." Now he was lying. Baby-proofing the apartment was the farthest thing from his mind, but when Ayumu walked back into the room Kanone thought that maybe he could help them; that he really could save the Blade Children. As much confidence as Kanone had in the younger Narumi, it would still be a long shot.

"Your going to baby-proof the apartment?" Kousuke asked, putting his arm aorund Ayumu's waist as his boyfriend went to stand by him. Kousuke thought about it and then turned to Ayumu, "So I guess we're going to have to do the same thing to our place?"

Ayumu nodded but Ryoko was the one who spoke, hitting Kousuke as she did, "Of course we are, stupid."

"Honestly Kousuke, you can be such an idiot sometimes." Rio added.

Kousuke sighed at not realizing this simple fact, but Ayumu just hugged him and looked at the girls, "He may be an idiot but he's my idiot, so back off, alright?"

Rio smiled brightly while Ryoko just shrugged and Kousuke smiled at Ayumu, "Even though I think you just insulted me, thanks." He gave Ayumu a quick kiss before turning his attention to the others, "So, what do we do now?"

Kanone shrugged and looked to Eyes, "I really don't know, any suggestions?"

Eyes realized they were talking about living arangements and when the two couples would get Hiyono, "Nope." He said. Then, once he thought it through he came up with something, "I suppose it would be easier on all of us if we lived together. That way we wouldn't have to worry about buying two of everything for both places. Besides Rio and Ryoko don't need all of Hiyono's stuff laying around."

Kousuke nodded, "Yeah, Rio'd trip over baby toys every other step."

Ayumu smirked and agreed, "Absolutely."

"Hey!" Rio shouted, "It's not my fault I'm clumsy; and watch it or you'll be getting an explosive gift at your baby shower."

Ryoko interjected now, "Think about it, Rio, we could have our place all to ourselves. Kousuke and Ayumu would be staying here. We could visit Hiyono whenever we wanted to and we wouldn't have to worry about a bunch of baby stuff cluttering up the apartment."

Eyes scoffed, "You all make it sound like I've rented you a room at some run down motel." he said. Obviously Eyes paid for the rent on both his and Kanone's place and the others' place. They were both penthouses, Rio and Ryoko's was even bigger than his, granted they had Ayumu and Kousuke living with them, but they could still act a little more grateful.

Rio put on her sweet face and smiled at Eyes, "I don't think that at all, Eyes. Our place is wonderful, and it will be even better without a bunch of boys there!"

Ayumu glared at her, "A bunch? There's only two of us. And you two are just as lazy! I bet the place is a wreck since Kousuke and I haven't been home."

Ryoko nodded, "That's true, but it's you and the amazing Kousuke."

Kousuke glared at the name, just knowing that there was a story that the two girls had probably made up behind it. Rio giggled and confirmed his suspicions, "Yep, he has the power to make the mess of ten regular men!"

"You little brats, don't you have anything better to do than sit around and make up stories about me?"

Rio giggled, "Nope!"

Kanone sighed, "Maybe it would be best to split them up for a while."

Ayumu nodded, "Did you hear that Kousuke?"

Kousuke turned to Ayumu and nodded, "Yeah, I heard you." He glared once more at Rio and Ryoko before joining Ayumu who had gone over to take Hiyono back from Kanone and play with her (which pretty much consisted of having her grab one of his fingers with her hand and sticking it in her mouth, coating it with drool). As the day progressed and the six of them talked, Rio and Ryoko finally decided to go home. Ayumu and Kousuke said that they were leaving to go pack so they could move in as soon as possible. Since they would be busy for the rest of the day, Ayumu suggested they leave Hiyono with Kanone and Eyes. The two gladly accepted and Kanone asked if they needed any help packing.

Ayumu just shook his head, "No, I would prefer if you stayed here with Hiyono. Not that I don't trust you, Eyes, but I'm not sure how good you are with kids."

Eyes took no offense and nodded in response while Kanone smiled and kissed Ayumu's cheek, "Alright then, I'll see you two tomorrow?"

Kousuke nodded, "Yeah, we don't have that much stuff, it shouldn't take too long to pack."

Eyes was the last to speak before Ayumu and Kousuke left, "I'll send for a moving van in the morning so make sure you're ready by then."

Kousuke grinned, "Thanks, Rutherford." They all said bye and Kousuke and Ayumu made it home before too long and started packing. Rio came into their room eventually to see who was making so much noise and decided that she would help them pack if it would make them be quieter quicker.

As Ayumu and Kousuke laid own in their now unsheeted bed, they curled up under a blanket they had left out and shared a pillow; the less hassle of last minute packing in the morning the better. Eyes and Kanone's place, of course had a guest room that would become Ayumu and Kousuke's room. That only left one problem, "Hey, Kousuke?" Ayumu asked, snuggling up closer to his boyfriend.

"Yeah?" Kousuke mumbled, trying to get some sleep and wondering why Ayumu couldn't just wait until morning.

"Where are we going to put Hiyono?" Ayumu asked, slightly concerned, "I think Kanone's place only has one extra room, so where will Hiyono stay? She can't be out in the living room because she'll distract Eyes if he has to practice on his piano. And there are no other rooms."

"She'll just stay in our room, then." Kousuke replied, confident that that would satisfy Ayumu.

No luck, "You do realize that we can't do anything with her in the room, right?"

Kousuke knew exactly what Ayumu meant by 'anything' and he had realized that but hoped that, at least for tonight, Ayumu hadn't, "Well if we're in the mood then we can put her in Eyes and Kanone's room."

"And when they want some privacy we'll take her?" Ayumu asked, already sensing a flaw in this plan. Kousuke nodded and Ayumu sighed, "And if we all want some...privacy?"

Kousuke was silent for a second, thinking this over, "We'll flip a coin."

Ayumu chuckled at this and kissed Kousuke, "Alright then, goodnight."

Kousuke smiled and kissed the top of Ayumu's head, loving the smell of his hair; they both used the same shampoo and conditioner, but Ayumu just made it smell better somehow, "Goodnight."
