Alright, since a lot of you wanted me to update this, I can't ignore your requests. I have to warn you, though, I'll probably only be able to update this fic maybe whenever I have some down time in between my other two. Since, like Polaris pointed out, I already have two others going on, and this one did just start back up a bit unannounced and definitely unplanned. I will update as much as I can, though. On that note, enjoy!
MoonExpression: You're quite welcome, glad you like it so much! Thanks for reviewing, hope you enjoy it!
mysticwaters6: Thanks, here's some more. Thanks for reviewing!
CeTe: I actually can't picture Ayumu with any of the Blade Children, yet here he is with Kanone, and I've had him with Kousuke. Wait...have I done AyumuEyes? I thik that might be the one that I have yet to write...am I forgetting something? Heh, they are quite cute, but definitely more hot than cute, you got that right! Thanks for reviewing!
Polaris18: I'm not Superwoman, but I am a superhero of sorts. I have quite a few names, none of which I remember at the moment...Well, I'm still going to continue this one, but like I said, it will probably have slower update rates than the other two. I doubt I'll ever post more than two chapters in one day, so hopefully it won't be too much for you! Thanks for reviewing!
Red Kitsune Flames: I don't know why, but I just love your pen name. Sorry if that was a little random...anyway, is it really one of your favorites? Wow, that's quite a compliment! Don't worry, I plan to answer all of those questions eventually, of course knowing me, I'll create just as many new ones by doing so. You also don't have to worry about me stopping it, thanks for reviewing!

Whoever had called Kanone apparently was very impatient because 10 minutes later, they were calling again. Groaning, Kanone rolled over to grab his phone and glare at the caller ID. When he saw who was calling, however, his expression softened a little. He flipped open his phone, "Yes?"
"Kanone? Where were you?" the brittish accent asked on the other end.
Kanone smiled a little at the hidden conern he heard in his ex's voice, "Sorry, I was asleep. Is something wrong?" he asked. Though he detected no worry in the other's voice, he could imagine any reason why anyone would call him at this hour. When no response came, Kanone got a bit more concerned, "Eyes?" he whispered, not wanting to wake Ayumu.
"It's nothing, I suppose." Eyes replied, obviously hiding something.
Kanone smiled, knowing that Eyes knew he was fooling no one. It made him wonder why the younger one insisted on running around in circles before he finally got to the point. He did have to admit that the nostalgia of the days when they were younger was nice. Those days when they were together... Kanone shook himself out of his daze, "Well if it's nothing, then why are you awake at 3 in the morning, and calling me up for no reason?"
Eyes remained silent for a while, "I just wanted to talk to you." he confessed, not wanting to waste time with meaningless conversation.
Kanone was a little suprised at all of this, suprised that Eyes was even consdiering talking to him after what he'd done. Part of Kanone had hoped that Eyes would succeed in saving the others like he did, but the selfish part of him wanted the younger one to fail. Maybe, if he had failed, he would see that Kanone had been right all along. Of course, after much thinking, Kanone realized that perhaps they did have hope. Though, Ayumu was not the one he had in mind, "What did you want to talk about?" Kanone asked, realizing he hadn't said anything in a while.
Once again, silence accompanied his question until Eyes finally got up the guts to ask one of his own, "Can you come over?" he asked in a small voice, unsure if he really wanted Kanone there or not.
Kanone cast a glance to the sleeping boy next to him, and hated himself for what he was about to say, "I'm really tired. Is there any chance this can wait until morning?" he asked, hoping that it wasn't serious. He really didn't want to turn Eyes down, but didn't want to chance Ayumu waking up alone even more. He winced at the disappointed sigh he heard on the other end, and could imagine the look that Eyes had on his face right now. He hated to see the Blade Child so depressed, but knew that explaining would only sadden him more.
"It's not that important." Eyes lied, "Goodbye, Kanone." he hated lying to Kanone, but it was obvious that the other was too busy for him at the moment. That, or he simply didn't want to see the pianist. This thought hurt more than anything. He knew he should feel betrayed by Kanone and upset with him, but he couldn't help but want to see the older one right now. Usually, Eyes could get over these little moments of weakness, but after seeing him back in Japan, it had been too much. When he had no idea where Kanone was, the pain wasn't that bad, so maybe he should continue on like that. Maybe all he needed to do was stay away from Kanone in order to get over him.
Before Kanone could say anything to object, the line went dead. Kanone didn't have long to react before Ayumu stirred beside him, "Who was that?" he asked, only having woken up a moment ago.
Kanone hesitated, but saw no harm in telling him, "It was Eyes."
"Huh?" Ayumu asked, sitting up, "What did he want?" Ayumu was suprised to find out that Eyes had called Kanone after what happened.
"Nothing important." Kanone whispered, feeling immensely guilty at this point. He was lucky that Eyes was even talking to him, why did he have to push him further and further away?
Ayumu, however, didn't notice the inner turmoil Kanone was going through, and snuggled up to him, "Well, if it wasn't important, then let's go back to sleep." As soon as he said that, Ayumu took his own advice and fell quickly back to sleep in Kanone's arms. Kanone sighed, no way he was leaving now. Hopefully he could track Eyes down in the morning and see what he wanted. It couldn't have been nohting for him to call this early in the morning, but that also confused Kanone. Why wouldn't Eyes just come out and tell Kanone what was wrong instead of lying to him about it, seeing as how there was something very obviously wrong. Shaking his head of these thoughts, Kanone smiled down at the boy in his arms. Deciding it would do no one any good to worry about something he couldn't do anything about right now anyway, Kanone finally got to sleep.
Eyes, on the other hand, was far from sleeping at this point. A million thoughts were racing through his head, telling him to do a million different things in a million different ways. The main one was why Kanone had turned him down. It could be that he really was tired, but it had taken a lot on Eyes' part just to call him. If Kanone couldn't even spare a few minutes of his time for the younger one, then maybe he really wasn't worth all of this. Once he thought about it rationally, though, it didn't seem all that rude or inconsiderate of Kanone to tell him to wait until morning. It was 3 in the morning, and Eyes was suprised that Kanone had even been awake. He wasn't even really sure he wanted to see Kanone, but soon realized that he had to do something in order to get rid of these feelings.
That brought up another thought, why in the world was Kanone up at this hour? A number of possibilities ran through Eyes' mind, but the most likely was that his phone simply woke him up. Eyes smiled faintly at remembering how light of a sleeper Kanone used to be. The silver haired boy could turn over in bed, making no sound, and it would wake Kanone up. Then, the painful reminder that Eyes had no right to think of Kanone like that anymore entered his head, and he closed his eyes in an attempt to shut the thoughts out. Knowing that it was foolish to dwell on things that he couldn't change, Eyes headed to bed in hopes of some sort of peace tonight. Of course, with Kanone as his last thought, that outsome wasn't likely.

Sorry, I know this is incredibly short, but I've begun to base my length on what happens in the fic instead of actual words. Like in this chappy, for example, we found out that Eyes and Kanone used to be together then something split them up, and also that Eyes still loves Kanone (and is a little obssessed with him if you ask me). Kanone, on the other hand, doesn't return these feelings anymore, but he does still care about his childhood friend. Eventually, I'll work the others in here somehow. Any requests for roles you want them to play, pairings, or anyone you really do or don't want to see in here? Review!
