Well, I'm home again and so that means it's update time! I did nothing but sleep all day today, I would have updated, but I was my brother's and he has no computer, so...yeah. Anyway, enjoy!
nothing importan: I'm glad you thought it was good! Hope you think it's still good after I'm done with it (no idea when that'll be!) And I've seen the whole series so I know what you're talking about. The only fic of mine (so far) that Kanone will be evil in is my new one, Trust. And even then it will be a brief evilness. Well thanks for reviewing!
CeTe: That is the life of a Blade Child...especially in my fics. And especially if you're Eyes. And we all know that no matter what I put Eyes through, he'll be okay. I even brought him back from the dead, I don't do that for many people! glad you're being patient (I try to update as much as I can) Thanks for reviewing!
mistic fox: Poor, poor, Eyes, I know. You enjoyed it? I'm telling Kanone (he'll kick your ass!) But since you've said nice things about me I'll ask him to go easy on you. Thanks for reviewing!
alpha2nd: What, you couldn't see it coming? Don't worry, he's dead by the end of this chapter. Kousuke does quite a number on him; he'll wish he was his friend (you know the one that Kanone did in...). Well, enjoy the bastard's pain and thanks for reviewing!
Kanone heard the crack that Eyes' skull made, and even though he was practically to the unconscious child, he couldn't stop running. He blindly found his way to Eyes' side and as soon as he saw the blood, his vision cleared. Eyes was still breathing, and he sighed, only slightly relieved, "Call an ambulance." He ordered no one in particular.
"It's already done." Ryoko responded, putting her phone away.
"Kousuke..." Kanone began but the redhead was already off running.
"I'm on it!" He yelled, running after John; he knew exactly what Kanone was going to ask him to do. Kill the bastard. Kousuke grinned at the idea and ran even faster.
Rio and Ryoko ran over to Eyes and Kanone, Ryoko faltered slightly; she knew what Kousuke was going to do, but somehow she couldn't care. After everything that John had put Eyes through, she felt that he deserved whatever was coming to him. A few minutes later, they heard an ambulance and saw flashing lights. Eyes was boarded into the vehicle via stretcher. Kanone started to follow, but one of the men stopped him, "Sorry sir, no one is allowed with him. Unless..." the man looked Kanone up and down, "Are you family?" Kanone just nodded and hopped in, there was no time for explanations. The man who had questioned him looked at him suspiciously, obviously knowing he was lying, "So how do you know him?" He asked, nodding towards Eyes.
Kanone glared at the question but answered anyhow, "He's my boyfriend." He replied, leaving no room for arguement. The man, Tyler, seemed to realize this and nodded. He started hooking up several machines to Eyes, clarifying that the boy was still alive.
After Tyler was done securing him, he turned to Kanone, "So what happened?"
"Someone attacked him." Kanone replied, annoyed at the stupidity of Tyler; a lot of people around here seemed to be stupid. No common sense at all.
"Do you know who?" Tyler asked, reaching for a pen and paper to write down any information that Kanone might give him.
Kanone only response was, "It's being taken care of."
And being taken care of it was. (here's what you all are waiting for!) As Kousuke raced down the streets, John came into sight. Already out of breath, Kousuke started running faster, "Man, if only Ryoko could see me, she'd be proud." But right now wasn't the time for approval, that would come after he caught the man in front of him. Kousuke did have a bit of an edge, though, the Hunter had wounded John earlier and that was slowing him down significantly. So even though he had had a big head start on Kousuke, John now found himself being pinned ot the ground by a very angry Blade Child, "You bastard!" Kousuke yelled, punching John in the nose and earning himself a scream from the man under him. John tried to kick Kousuke off of him, but Kousuke had other plans. He pulled out his trusty knife and stabbed the quirming man in the thigh, getting another scream. Kousuke grinned at the sound but shifted so the flow of blood that was coming from both his leg and opened wound in his gut wouldn't get all over him. Realizing that the screams would draw attention Kousuke put the knife to John's throat, "Shut up, your making too much noise!" John only screamed louder at this and Kousuke smirked, "You think I'm gonna let you off that easily? I have other ways of shutting you up."
Being a Blade Child, Kousuke had long ago learned how far he could cut someone's throat and still have them be alive. Fortunately, the point that he had to cut to damage John's voice box was far before the limit. As the blade cut deeper into John's throat, his screams became muffled into gargles as he chocked on his own blood. But that wasn't near satisfying enough for Kousuke. He pulled the older man up into a sitting position and moved off of him, standing up. The blood ran down the front of John's shirt and spilled onto the deserted street that they were now on. Kousuke laughed, "You honestly thought that you could hurt Eyes and get away with it? Not on your life." Kousuke laughed again at the statement, "Actually, I guess on your life would be more accurate, seeing as how you won't have one by the time the night is out." With that Kousuke took John's wrist and slit it just deep enough to hurt like hell, but not bleed enough to kill him. Kousuke wanted this to last for a while. John got dizzy and eventually passed out from the pain and loss of blood. Kousuke smirked as he looked around and saw a liquor store still open, "Perfect." He looked to John, "Don't go anywhere, I'll be right back." Kousuke walked inside and purchased the cheapest, highest percentage of alcohol beverage he could find and a bottle of water. The water he used to wake John up from his brief escape from pain and the alcohol...hehehehe. He began pouring the liquid all over John's open wounds and the man sat up, crying out (or spurting out blood from the gaping hole in his neck is more like it). This drew Kousuke's attention to said hole and Kousuke began pouring the drink down the man's throat. John squirmed around in pain before nearly fainting again. Kousuke wouldn't allow this, though, and punched him to wake him back up.
John panted and spurted out a few words, "Just...kill...me...please." Kousuke laughed and shook his head.
"Are you kidding? I'm having way too much fun; though I am getting a little bored with this...what else can we do?" Kousuke looked around and his sights fell on a rusty chain link fence. He grinned and walked over to it, ripping a section of it off and walking back over to John, "You know what? I'm feeling nice tonight, I'll end it now." Kousuke thoguht about it and then shook his head, "Oh, wait that's right, I'm in a bad mood tonight. Some jerk just cracked my friend's skull open." He leaned down close to John, "You wouldn't happen to know anything about that, now would you?" Kousuke shoved the rusty spike that he had gotten from the fence through John's chest, right below his heart. John just layed there, numb from pain and only winced as Kousuke slit the achille's tendon on both of his feet (that's the thing that if you cut it, the person can't walk) and got up to walk away, convinced that if John didn't die right away; he wouldn't be able to move until he did die. Kousuke paused right before disappearing into the shadows, "That's what you get for messing with a Blade Child." He then ran off in the direction of the hospital, shedding his blood soaked jacket on the way.
As Kousuke ran into the all too familiar building, he saw an all too familiar sight; Kanone, Rio and Ryoko sitting in the waiting room, all staring imaptiently at either the clock or wherever they last saw their friend disappear with his doctor. Kanone saw him first and ran over to him, "Did you take care of it?"
Kousuke nodded and then glanced at the clock, it had taken longer than he thought, "Wow, has it been that long? Guess time flies when you're having fun." He joked and then saw Kanone's expression; he wasn't in the mood for jokes, "Have you heard anything?"
Kanone sighed and nodded his head, "They said the damage was bad, but repairable...with time." Kousuke nodded and the two went to sit back down with the girls. As soon as the guys sat down, the girls stood up, their eyes trained on an approaching figure that Kanone recogonized as Eyes' doctor. He reached the man first, "Well?" He asked impatiently.
The doctor sighed and shook his head, "You can go in and see him...but it's not good."
Kanone raced into Eyes' room and only froze for a second at the familiar sight of his friend being hooked up to various machines, most of them making unwanted noise. Kanone walked over to Eyes' bedside and saw that his boyfriend was awake, "Eyes, thank goodness, are you oaky?"
Eyes looked at Kanone and then the other three who entered the room. He looked over all of their worried faces with a confused one of his own, "I'm fine, but...who are you people?"
That's right, our dear Eyes had amnesia! Will he get his memory back? That all depends, do you want him to or do you want Kanone and the others to have to explain everything that has happened to him. Here's the situation: he remembers nothing; nothing of the Blade Children, nothing of his father, he doesn't even know his own name. Well review!
