Tired...I'll update my other ones later, but I wanted to take away any concern you all might have about Eyes killing himself...poor Eyes, I won't be mean to him in this chapter, I promise! Well,maybe I will... ok, I won't!
mistic fox: Well if you didn't feel bad for him then I wouldn't be doing my job! Poor Eyes really isn'ta burden, I don't know why he thinks that (even though he does get hurt a lot!) Thanks for reviewing!
alpha2nd: I was hoping you would forget that I said I wasn't going to kill him, just to scare you all a bit, that is what I do best. I do seem to love hospitals, don't I? They're just so convienent! Thanks for reviewing!
Kanone walked back into Eyes' room, hoping that he would beat the boy back, "He'll be upset with me if I'm not here when I said I would be." Kanone glanced to the bed and saw that it was unmade, but it was missing a silver haired boy. Kanone glanced around the room, confused before his sight traveled to the broken mirror, and down to the bleeding boy on the floor, "Eyes!" Kanone shouted as he raced over to the unconscious Blade Child, "Eyes...what did you do?" Kanone asked the boy, knowing he wouldn't get an answer, "Just a few minutes, I was only gone a few minutes." Kanone cursed the coffee that he had left to get. He glared at the white styrafoam cup and then got up to call in a doctor. Eyes was rushed away to another part of the hospital for a blood transfusion. Kanone sighed and then a thought entered his head, the Blade Children were different, their blood was unique from anyone else's. Kanone tracked down Eyes' doctor as the man glanced up at him he waited for Kanone to speak, "Eyes needs a blood transfusion." Kanone began.
His doctor nodded, "And you're telling me this because...?" Obviously the boy's doctor knew what he had done.
"You won't have any that matches his type. Only a few of us have his blood type."
"Oh? Is that so? Well then, are you willing to donate enough blood to stabilize him?"
Kanone nodded, "Of course. How much do you need?"
"Four pints." The doctor answered.
Kanone took a double take, the human body could only sustain one pint at a time to be taken from it, unfortunately, he was no exception, "How soon do you need it?"
"It's pretty urgent. If we don't get it soon, he'll most likely die."
Kanone nodded, he wouldn't let that happen, "Alright, I know of three others besides myself with the same type, that will be enough, correct?"
The doctor considered this and then nodded, "Yes. I'm taking it on good faith that you're all clean? No drugs or diseases?"
Kanone shook his head, "Where do you want us?"
"Meet me in the third operating room, it's just down this hallway." The doctor pointed to several sets of large doors, "Get there as soon as possible." Kanone nodded and ran off in search of the other Blade Children.
Kousuke saw Kanone running up to the three and stood up as he appoached, "Hey Kanone, what's up? Is Eyes back yet?"
"I don't have time to explain everything right now, but Eyes has lost a lot of blood, he needs a blood transfusion."
The others nodded, knowing what Kanone was asking them, "How much?" Ryoko asked.
"Four pints, but with the four of us should be more than enough."
"Let's go." Rio said, standing up. Kanone nodded and the four ran back down to the operating room.
The doctor greeted them as they came in, "Alright, everyone, just have a seat and we'll get started." The four took their seats and some nurses came over to prep them and then started sucking up blood from their bodies.
Before Rio could even fill half a pint she nearly fainted. The doctor ordered the nurse to stop taking blood, much to Rio's dismay; she wanted to help Eyes, and gave Rio a cookie. Rio ate the cookie and went back out to the waiting room, apologizing to the others that she couldn't help out more. The docotor examined Rio's blood and shook his head. Kanone saw this and spoke up, "Take whatever you couldn't get out of Rio from me."
"That's over half a pint more than I'd recommend, I'm sure that your friend will be fine with just this."
"I don't really care what you'd recommend, I'm telling you that I want Eyes' safety assured. I'll be fine, just do it."
The doctor sighed and nodded, ordering the nurse to take another half a pint from Kanone. Kousuke and Ryoko finished and waited for Kanone, when he was finally finished they all stood, and nearly fell back down from the dizziness that overcame them. Kousuke shook it off and saw that Ryoko was fine as well. He walked over to Kanone and grabbed his arm to steady him, "You okay, Kanone? Maybe you should sit back down."
Kanone just shook off the dizzy feeling and looked to Eyes' doctor, "How soon will I be able to see him?"
The doctor checked his watch, "Well, the actual procedure will only take about an hour, but there's no telling how long it will take for him to wake up. It could be an hour, a day, a week, it's different with everyone."
Kanone sighed and nodded, he felt very drained and just wanted to sit down. He led the two out of the operating room and back to the waiting room where Rio was looking just as drained, "Kanone!" she yelled and ran over to him, wavering slightly as she closed her eyes and hugged him.
He smiled faintly and hugged Rio, "How are you feeling?"
"I'm okay. I'm really sorry I couldn't..."
"Don't talk like that, Rio." Kanone cut her off, "It's not your fault. Besides, Eyes got everything he needs, he'll be fine." That seemed to satisfy the small girl as she nodded and took her seat back with the others.
"So, Kanone." Kousuke spoke after a minute of silence, "What happened?"
Kanone realized that he never told the others why Eyes needed their blood, "Eyes...tried to kill himself." He said, looking down.
The others gasped and Ryoko spoke what was on everyone's mind, "Why would he do something like that?"
Kanone just shook his head, "I don't know, but I don't want any of you bringing it up when we see him again, understand?" The other three nodded and the four sat in silence until Kanone spotted the all too familiar figure of Eyes' doctor. He stood up and ran over to him, "Well?"
The other man smiled, "It was completely successful. He's even awake already. It's a miracle, you couldn't hope for a better outcome considering what happened. He's in his room now."
Kanone thanked him and walked quickly to Eyes' room, mulling over the doctor's words, "I couldn't hope for a better outcome? How right you are, none of us can hope for anything." Kanone's depressed thoughts vanished as he reached Eyes' room. He walked in alone, the others knew that he would want to talk to Eyes alone first, and spotted the boy. There were no machines hooked up to him anymore, but bandages wrapped around his wrists. Kanone tried to avoid looking at them as he approached the boy, but it was hard, "Eyes?" Kanone asked, drawing the boy's attention to him.
Tears were in his eyes as he looked up to his boyfriend, "Kanone?" He stared at Kanone for a second longer before throwing his arms around the older boy's neck and hugging him tightly, pulling him onto the bed, "Kanone...I'm so sorry." He let Kanone go out of his death grip and looked up at him hesitantly, "You're...not angry with me, are you?"
Kanone looked at Eyes, a little confused, he had yet to find out that Eyes had his memories back, "Eyes...how could I be angry? I was terrified. Never do that to me again, okay? You scared me half to death." He said hugging the smaller, frail boy.
Eyes choked back some tears, "I remember... everything." He said, resting his head on Kanone's chest, "I couldn't take all of the pain...it was too much to process all at once. That's why I..."
"Shh. Eyes, you don't have to explain. I'm just glad you're alright. And that you remember everything." Kanone really was glad that he didn't have to explain everything to Eyes, and also that Eyes was acting more himself around Kanone again.
Eyes closed his eyes and sighed, "I'm really sorry for scaring you, Kanone. And for what I said before...I was just scared."
"It's alright, Eyes. Just promise me that you'll talk to me next time instead of doing something like this."
Eyes nodded quickly, "I promise, Kanone. And also..." Eyes hesitated, "Should I tell him? What if it's true?"
"Also what? Eyes?" Kanone asked, concerned.
"Kanone...am I useless to you?"
"What?" Kanone was blindsided, how could Eyes think he was useless? He was Kanone's reason for living.
"Do you think that I'm just a burden? I'm always getting into some kind of trouble or needing someone to save me. It just seems that everyone would be better off if I..." Eyes was cut off by Kanone kissing him.
When Kanone pulled away, he had a hurt look on his face, "Eyes, there is no way that you're a burden to anyone. I love you and if you had actually died...I would have lost any reason I had to live. If anyone should feel useless, it's me; I can never be there to protect you. You give my life meaning Eyes, that's far from useless."
Eyes just nodded and layed his head back down on Kanone's chest, "Thank you, Kanone. I love you."
Kanone smiled and hugged Eyes, "Thank you, Eyes. I love you, too." The two fell asleep like that, unaware of three smirking Blade Children ouside the door. Kousuke looked to the girls, "Can you believe those two?"
"What do you mean, Kousuke?" Rio asked, oblivious.
Kousuke smirked, "Eyes just tried to kill himself and Kanone's already making a move on him."
Ryoko hit him in the head, harder than usual, "Kousuke, stop being an idiot, Kanone's not doing anything. Besides, they're already together, it's not unusual if they're already a couple."
Rio nodded and glared at Kousuke, "And what business is it of yours anyway?"
Kousuke just stared at the two girls and then glared at Rio, "Excuse me? I think it was you who suggested we spy on them in the first place." This earned him a glare from the two girls as they walked off. Kousuke just sighed and followed, but was relieved that Ryoko hadn't hit him.
Yeah, might as well leave off here. Not much to say about it...ummmm, yay! Eyes is okay! And fluff...fluff was good. Well, review!
