Hey everyone, I just found this chappy, I never realized that I had it. It's kind of short, but it's something, right? Anyway, like I said, I'll be updating this fic soon; but it seems that my other one just won't die, so we'll see. Anyway, enjoy!

Kanone stared at the rubble of his home as Eyes advanced to the wreckage and started sifting through it, looking for any signs of his friends.

"Eyes what are you doing? If they were inside when this happened, which I don't think is very likely, then you and I both know that there is no chance of them being alive, so it senseless to look for them here." Kanone said matter-of-factly, and a bit cruelly from Eyes' point of view.

"But Kanone what else can we do? If they were in the house then..."

Now it was Kanone's turn to cut Eyes off, "As I've already said, they're dead and there's no use looking for them. And don't back-talk me, Eyes, it's just rude." Kanone had an authoritive tone about his voice and he spoke quickly. Eyes had never seen him act quite like this and it was a bit confusing. He couldn't tell quite what Kanone was feeling, whether he was worried about them or sad because he realized the possibility that they could actually be dead. Kanone walked over to some of the rubble and picked something up, "Look at this Eyes." Kanone was holding Kousuke's glasses. He also had what appeared to be a note and some sort of key.

"Kousuke's glasses? He doesn't go anywhere without those, he's blind as a bat without them." Eyes said, his worry grew and it was shown on his face. Kanone found Eyes' distress a bit amusing, since his friend usually showed absolutely no emotion and he must have been extremely worried about the others, and he started to chuckle. After all since the glasses weren't even singed and there was a note with them it was very obvious that at least Kousuke was still alive, and so were the other two most likely. Eyes glared at Kanone for a second, "You're laughing at me? Kanone this is no time for laughing."

"I know, I know. I'm sorry Eyes, I've just never seen you this worried before." Kanone said, clearing his throught. He unfolded the paper and studied it for a second and then all joking was set aside by the seriousness of Kanone's face. The note said, "We have your friends, if you don't want them dead come to the abandoned subway station at 7." Eyes noticed the change in his friend and got up and walked over to Kanone and took the note from him, suprising Kanone since he had been so intent on the contents, "Eyes, that was a little rude, I thought I taught you better than to take things without permission."

"Laughing at me when I was worried about my friends was rude as well." He checked his watch, "If we're going to make it to the station, we're going to have to leave now."

Kanone checked his watch as well, it was already 6:30. The subway station was at least 45 minutes away, "We'll never make it in time on foot, Eyes."

"So you're just going to give up then?" Of course Eyes knew better than that, most likely Kanone had already come up with some sort of plan.

"Of course not, that's a ridiculous question. In fact I've already got a plan."

Kanone never disapointed him. Eyes smiled just the tiniest bit, so small that no one else would even have noticed, but Kanone did, he noticed everything Eyes did, and he smiled in return, "Let's go then Eyes." Eyes nodded.

Kanone went off running and Eyes ran after him, no questions asked, he knew that Kanone would let him in on the plan when it was time for it, but in situations like this, Eyes learned to just trust Kanone. "Not that it's hard to trust Kanone." Eyes thought, "If I didn't trust him then I wouldn't..." What went at the end of that sentence? Was it love? Eyes knew nothing of love, so how could he know if he was in love? "That's not true. Kanone loves me, that much I'm sure of." Eyes just wasn't sure if this utter trust and respect he had for Kanone was real love, or...just admiration. How did Kanone know that he loved Eyes? Kanone had never even told Eyes really, but Eyes knew, but he wasn't even sure how he knew, it was just so obvious. Eyes realized that he had slowed down and Kanone was getting farther ahead of him, he shook his head and sped up, knowing that now was not the time for these thoughts to be clouding his judgement. "Later, later I'll ask him maybe...or maybe there's nothing to ask about. Whatever it is it will have to wiat." And with that Eyes cleared his head of anything that didn't have to do with rescuing his friends.

When they reached about half way, Kanone went down a street that Eyes had never noticed before, "Eyes, keep up. I don't want to lose you in this place and it is a bit confusing if you get lost." Eyes nodded and reached Kanone's side, grabbing his hand, not wanting to get lost. Kanone smirked at his friend's actions, but held on nonetheless; it was comforting to know that Eyes trusted him this much. A few minutes later they came out at the designated subway with 10 mintues to spare.

Eyes looked around for any traps and seeing no obvious ones he looked to Kanone, "How did we get here so fast? It should have taken another 15 minutes."

Kanone just smiled, "Just keep your guard up Eyes, I have a good idea of what they have planned, but I'm not psychic."

"Are you sure?" Eyes asked, completely serious.

"What? Eyes you can't be serious. If I was psychic, we wouldn't be here right now." Kanone answered, wondering why in the world his friend would think he was psychic.

"Well earlier you said that those three might burn the house down...and then we got back and the house was burned down."

Kanone laughed at this, "Eyes, it was just a coincidence, I promise you I'm not psychic."

Eyes had never been able to hold his own in a conversation against Kanone, the older boy always talked him into a corner. Now Eyes saw his chance, "You don't believe in coincidences."

Kanone looked at Eyes, "And who decided you were the person to tell me what I do and don't think?" Kanone knew that Eyes was right; he had caught Kanone's mistake, but the older boy saw what his friend was doing and could easily get out of this.

Or so he thought. Eyes shrugged, "I thought it was a fact. You told me yourself you don't believe in them; that everything happens for a reason. And these two events are related, so you can't say they're not. So if it wasn't a coincidence, and you're not psychic, Kanone, then what was it?"

Kanone cursed himself for his slipup. "Eyes, we have more important things to worry about right now, we'll discuss this later. And why are you questioning me?"

Eyes shook his head, "I'm not questioning you at all Kanone. I'm just trying to understand. And there's still another five minutes before we should be here; the Hunters won't be expecting us yet."

"Damn," Kanone thought, "He's really putting up a fight." But Kanone did love a challenge, "Okay Eyes, you're right: It's not a coincidence, and I'm not psychic, so what would you say it was?" Kanone smiled smugly, "Take that

"Well,I really don't know. I figured I'd ask you since you're my mentor. But if you don't know..."

"How did he do that? The little..." "Don't underestimate me, Eyes. I know more than you think I do." Kanone said, knowing he had nothing to back that up with.

"You haven't answered my question yet, Kanone. I'm starting to think you're avoiding answering becasue you don't know. It's really okay if you don't, I can't criticize you because I don't know either."

Kanone sighed, the little bastard had outdone him, finally. Even though he had admitted defeat, he gave Kanone an easy out that he would take; and he also ended up looking like the better person by seeming so understanding that Kanone didn't know something that was apparently so simple. "Alright Eyes, you win this one. But don't get used to it. I gave you an easy advantage." Eyes just nodded happily and the two went to meet the Hunters.

Okay, I actually just finished the end of this chapter, so if it seems a little off, then that's why and I'm sorry! I honestly don't know when I'll update this again. It might be tomorrow or a week from now. So thanks for reading and review!
