Okay people first I'll start with saying I'm so sorry! I don't really have an excuse for it except my jacked up scheduale between the holidays and exams this past week the time between those two things I was just being lazy. Also I did have a small case of writers block. Anyway I'm kind of in a bind with the fic at least I am I don't know about KousukeAsazuki. I need to make it through my two chapters, and I don't have solid idea for this chapter so once again I'm winging it. Okay I've done my ranting for now so I'll shut up.

Oh and the new girl who showed up if you missed it her name's Amare it's pronounced Ah-mar-ray which is latin and it means "to love". Yay I did learn something in that class and it actualy came in handy!

Eyes was nervous, not that he would show it of couse, but on the inside things couldn't be more chaotic. He hadn't seen Kanone in over a year and a half so he didn't know what to expect. Actually in all honesty he was nervous because he was skeptical that Kanone or Sonja were even there truth be told Eyes didn't trust this Amare. He was tempted to knock the hell out of Zander last nightwhen he came back upstairs and told him what happened could the other be more naive? However she was their only lead so he couldn't complain too much he just hoped this wasn't another dead end.

The two teens were currently in the limo on their way to Kanone's childhood home 120 Swan Lane and neither had really said a word to each other the whole time. Zander looked over to Eyes and saw that something was bothering him "So what is it?", he asked turning to look out the window at the passing scenery. Eyes was startled out of his thoughts by the question, and turned to look at Zander who had now turned to face the silver haired teen as well Eyes averted his gaze the floor of the limo not really wanting to voice his insecurities. "You don't have to tell me I was just asking.", Zander said sighing both had now about noticed that the tension bwtween the two had for some reason hightened. "I'm worried", Eyes said queitly keeping his gaze focused on his hands which were folded on his lap. Zander turned to look at the other not saying anything he knew better then to push Eyes for answers he gave them on his own accord. "I'm worried that this is just wild goose chase that it's for nothing", the look in the younger one's eyes was a storm of a bunch of conflicting emotions emotions he not dare speak.

Zander grabbed hold of Eyes' hand and gave it a comforting squeeze "It'll all work out trust me you just have to believe.", Eyes had the strange urge to laugh at what the other just said he spent the past four something years believeing that things in life could turn out for the best, but he soon started to wonder was all his believeing for nothing. Soon they arrived at their destination the house itself was very beautiful it was quite far out away from the town where they had been staying in it was big to say the least and reminded Eyes of the Victorian era type of houses. The two got out of the car and went up the steps Zander rang the doorbell, and the two waited. Soon the door was answered by Amare and Eyes was speechless Zander wasn't lying when he said the girl was stunning today her red wine hair was pulled back with half in a ponytail and the other half down. She also had on a white halter top with a pink jacket over it and blue jean capris and pick and white sandals. "Hey you two I've been waiting. How you doing Zander?", she asked stepping back to let them in Zander smiled laughing at her cheery attitude "Oh not much diffence since yesterday I assure you.".

Amare nodded her head at the ebony haired man and turned her attention to the silver haired one "You must be Eyes I have to say I'm honored to meet you Kanone talks about you all the time I feel like I already know you.", she said getting a strange look in her eyes. Eyes wasn't really liking the look too much "So you claim to know Kanone huh?", he said as if challenging her, and the older girl picked up on it instantly. "Yes I do, and from where I'm standing I know him a bit better.", she said smirking at the pissed off look in Eyes' eyes. Zander laughed nervously sweatdropping practicaly seeing the electricity sparking between the two "Okay how about we go sit and talk about something safer like where's Sonja?", he asked not wanting a cat fight to erupt between the two others. Amare complied letting the younger boy win this round of the glaring contest and showed the two to the living room and offered them something to eat, Eyes declined but Zander said he would like something to drink.

Eyes sat down and looked around it was obvious the house hadn't been lived in for a long time, but it still had a homey feeling. However Eyes couldn't shake the feeling that something sinister was hideing in the house like it had a dark secret looking around he saw a picture of two children. Getting up he walked to the mantle where it was placed and smiled faintly at the picture recognizing the boy instantly it was a younger Kanone who looked no older then three or four, but it was the girl that caught his attention. Eyes about had a heart attack the girl who looked a few years older then Kanone looked exactly like Amare! It was obvious the girl was most likely Sonja, but she looked like Amare. The only difference was while Amare's hair was a red wine color Sonja's was a dirty golden blond color, and while Amare's eyes were a pinkish purple color Sonja's eyes were hazel other then those two differences the resemblence was there.

"Hey what are you looking at?", asked Zander curiously. Not wanting to start any commotion Eyes put the picture down and shook his head "It was nothing don't worry about it.", but he couldn't shake eerie feeling his new discovery gave him. Zander was about to press for more answers knowing Eyes was hideing something, but at that moment Amare came back with a pitcher and a couple glasses of lemonade for them and handed one which was already full to Zander. She sat down and eyed the two for a second before asking "So exactly what are you two searching for?", she already knew the answer she knew exactly what Eyes was looking for Kanone had predicted Eyes would come here which is why she stayed behind. "You already know why we're here.", came Eyes blunt response. Eyes looked directly into Amare's eyes which were wide for she hadn't really expected that answer.

Amare smirked having learned her lesson quick Kanone had taught Eyes well. "Of course, I do know why you're here I've been expecting you for a while Eyes we both were.", she said knowing Eyes knew what she meant by we. "So he was here at one point correct?", Eyes asked and recieved a nod as his answer. Amare turned to look at the picture on the mantle piece and smiled sadly "He was, but circumstances caused him to flee he's now in danger Eyes", Eyes eyes widened at this Kanone was in danger? "What do you mean in danger?", asked Zander who had been quiet up till that point. Amare smiled "Eyes could answer that question can't you Eyes?", Eyes eyes got a dark look in them "Hunters" he said quietly but loud enough for both people to hear. "Amare how do you know all this?", Eyes asked queitly eyes hidden by his bangs. Amare looked at Eyes for a moment "It's complicated.", she said simply "Then how do you know Kanone?", came the azure eyed boy's next question "That's even more complicated, but lets just say I'm indebted to him.".

Eyes didn't know if he could really trust this woman one thing he knew he sure as hell didn't like her, but she was his only lead. Amare got up from her seat and walked out the room and a minute later returned with a phone in hand dialing a number both Eyes and Zander looked at her confused. A minute later after a few rings the other line picked up and she started talking "Hey, what up?", she waited a minute listening "That's good you will never believe who's finally arrived loking for you...yeah he's here want to talk to him?", there was a pause. "Did you hear me?...do want to? okay hold on.", Amare turned to Eyes and handed him the phone "Here someone wants to say hello.", Eyes took the phone uncertain, but took it non the less. He put the phone to his ear, but didn't know what to really say. As it turned out he didn't have to as the person on the other end spoke first and if he hadn't been sitting he would've collapsed with relief at the voice.

"Hello Eyes", came the voice he never knew he missed so much.

"Kanone...", he didn't know what else to say so many emotions were running through his heart.

"It seems you're still the same as ever", Kanone said laughing slightly.

Eyes didn't know what to say to him what was he suppose to say? He couldn't just spill out and yell at him for worrying him like he had been by disappearing, and then sending him on this god forsaken chase no that would be so out of character. However he couldn't just not say anything.

"I...I missed you.", he whispered, but Kanone heard it clearly.

"I missed you too. How are the others?", He asked. Eyes' brows forwarded Kanone sounded different somehow what was it he sounded uncertain, worried, insecure? Was that it was he worried about something?

"The other's are fine. Kanone are you okay?", his voice laced with complete worry. Kanone was never uncertain or insecure about anything he was strong he was his emotional pillar when he needed someone to lean on.

"I'm fine Eyes don't worry I'm just tired", it was a blatent lie Eyes knew it, but he wouldn't push it.

"Where are you?", that was what Eyes wanted to know the most.

There was a long pause on the other end like Kanone was debating whether to tell him or not.

"New York.."

"If you're in New York then why am I in Germany?", Eyes asked getting irritated. "What's going on?"

"I wish I could tell you Eyes, but I can't I can't help you this time you're on your own.", Kanone said queitly. Eyes sighed fine he was on his own he wasn't asking Kanone to help him he was asking why the hell was he running from him!

"I'm coming to New York, I don't know how long it'll take me to get there, but I'm coming", was his reply his voice was determined and left no room for arguement.

Kanone shook his head Eyes would never change. "Okay Eyes I look forward to seeing you again.", with that both teens hung up.

Eyes handed the phone to Amare and stood heading towards the door to leave all he wanted right now was to lay down. "Eyes wait up!", called Zander, but the blade child had already headed out the door Zander turned to Amare and thanked her and apologized for Eyes' rudeness. Amare shook her head dismissing it "I kind of expected it don't worry about it you two be safe.", she said leading Zander to the door. The two said their goodbyes, and Zander got in the limo with Eyes "Why the sudden rush to leave you could've at least said bye to her.", Eyes ignored the older one. Zander frowned at Eyes lack of response "Eyes...", he said frustrated. "He's lying to me.",the silver haired bot said looking out the window Zander turned confused, but had some idea what he was talking about " You mean Kanone right?", he asked. Eyes' eyes narrowed with anger "He's lying, he only lied once, he hates to lie especially to the people most important to him. So why is he lying?". Zander looked at Eyes in surprise it was the most Eyes had ever opened up to him the other seemed so lost, and angry had Kanone's running away and then not telling him everything hurt the other that much?

"When we were younger we told each other everything, we were best friends. Regardless of what was going on we never once left each others side.", Eyes turned to Zander looking in his eyes briefly and smiled faintly "The way you look at me it was how he looked at me like I was most important.", Zander blushed lightly at that statement. Eyes closed his eyes continueing with his story "However it didn't last the Blade Children don't deserve happiness, but I didn't want to believe that I believed even if it was only a little I believed that things could get better. Kanone however didn't believe that, and we couldn't agree so it tore us apart.". Eyes opened his eyes "Tell me do you really believe that if you believe things in life can get better they will do you really believe that?", Eyes looked to Zander waiting for his answer. It took a second for Zander to relize it was his turn to speak "Of course I believe that! Eyes you weren't wrong to believe because it's true! You don't have to compromise your beliefs even if it's for the one you love, okay?", he said the last part queitly. Zander knew Eyes loved Kanone it was plain as day even if the azured eyed teen himself didn't relize it he was, and there was nothing he could do about it. Eyes smiled faintly at the other and nodded his head agreeing with him, and the ride back to the hotel was silent.

Amare finished her sower and was currently drying her hair it was now about eight at night it had been a good nine ten hours since Eyes and Zander left, but she couldn't get todays occurences out of her head. Most importantly she couldn't get Kanone's voice out of her head true Eyes knew Kanone longer, but that child didn't know half of what she knew about the golden eyed angel that saved her life. She owed her life to him sure she saved him from a car crash when they first met a year ago, and she nursed him back to health but he gave her a reason to continue living. She had to protect him from the darkness in his heart she may not be Sonja, but that didn't mean she couldn't be his sister and as his sister she'll protect him. Looking out the window at the fullmoon her thoughts drifted to "little brother" laughing slightly at the term of endearment she called him by. Kanone...

miles away in New York...

Kanone looked out the window as well the moon high in the sky in all its radiance looking at it he couldn't help but smile as his thoughts drifted to a certain silver haired blade child. It was funny how everytime he looked at the moon it reminded him of Eyes so beautiful, silent, strong, and so...out of his reach. Eyes...Amare. As different as night and day sun and moon yet both most important to him. It was funny how that woman had somehow wrestled hreself into his heart...yeah wrestled was the right word there was no other explanation.

Last year after he lost to Little Narumi as embarrising as it sounded he still hated thinking about it, and if his pride was in the way so much he'd admit his ego was hurt. After all that he'd left why had he left not even he could give a solid answer to that. Was because he thought his buesiness there was taken care of, or was it because the others wouldn't want him there he didn't know. That was becoming more common for him, and he wasn't liking it one bit. If there was one thing Kanone didn't like it was not knowing the answer to something, but you can't know fate you don't know what fate can deal you. Actually he took that back that was bullshit he knew his fate he was a blade child and their fate would never change they were going to die one way or another. They would die he'd known that since he was four he knew he found out the hard way when his father...Sonja.

If he knew then why did he run? He ran to...Eyes. He didn't want to see Eyes. Eyes didn't need him anymore Eyes wasn't the little kid that followed him around anymore, no matter how much he wanted him to be. He had lied even though he hated lying he had lied Eyes did change. Everything changed. Kanone had uncounciously clenched his fists thinking about everything things were going to keep changing no matter how much he didn't want them to.

Kanone looked back up at the moon Eyes did need him Amare too. Even if they didn't relize it the Hunters were after him and he couldn't those two in danger. However he knew niether two would listen to him Amare would come to him and so would Eyes they were both stubborn, both a couple of stubborn fools. Both chose to believe in a changing fate he hated it he hated how they could so easily believe yet he envied it so much. How long Eyes...Amare... how long can you believe in hope...I long gave up believeing for it will cause nothing but pain. Kanone clutched the necklace that had once belonged to his sister smiling as he remembered her warm smile and laugh. You believed Sonja you believed with all your heart only to have it shattered...I can't be like you I refuse to put myself through that.

Hope...salvation...I don't need it.

But he wanted it.
