Whoo, 20 chapters! I still say this fic is fun...though my fma fic is getting fun, too. Thank the heavens that I have fun with these things; that would suck majorly if I didn't. Anyhow...enjoy!
Red Kitsune Flames: Yep, it was Sayoko. She wasn't talking to her adopter, but I said I wasn't concerned with that for this quote, so you still get the point. And you got the episode right, too, so yay! Lol, I'm only updating because I like this fic right now. Trapped, for example, doesn't get updated as much anymore because I've lost most (if not all) interest in it. Poor fic... I loved it, too. My other fic on aff has been neglected as well...I think I'm going to post that on this site sometime soon, though, so maybe that'll give me some inspiration. Thanks for reviewing!
Polaris18: Lol, he most certainly is a stalker.
Kanone: Am not!
Me: Suuuuuure, and Eriol doesn't wish he was Eyes.
Eriol: Why would I want to be him?
Eyes: Because everyone loves me, and no one knows who you are even though we're identical.
Eriol:...It's true!
Me: Well...Sayoko knows how you feel!
Eriol: Even she gets more recognition than me!
Sayoko: And that's not much at all.
Me: You two are kind of sad.
Kanone: More like pathetic.
Me: (slaps Kanone upside his head) jerk, be nice!
Kanone: I don't have to, everyone knows who I am and loves me; I have the right to be an arrogant ass. Why do you think Eyes is such a bastard?
Me: Good point...thanks for reviewing!

A knock sounded on her door, and Rio jumped up to answer it. She smiled as she saw the brunette on the other side, "Hi, Ayumu." she said, wondering how to go about this exactly. She knew she had to tell him, but how would he react? Would he even beilieve her?
"What did you want to talk about?" he asked, getting right down to business as he stepped inside, "What do you know about my brother?"
Rio sighed,"So much for chit-chatting." she thought, then frowned, "Follow me." She led him into the living room and took a seat, Ayumu following suit, watching her every movement. She seemed nervous about telling him this information, but what could she be nervous about? Was it something Kanone didn't want him knowing?
"Rio?" he asked, gently prodding for information.
The small girl nodded, knowing she had to get it over with. If she lost her nerve now, she might not tell him anything. She was sure Kanone wouldn't be too happy with that, either. Gathering up all her courage, she finally spoke, "Has Kanone ever talked about a group of people called the Rebels?" she asked.
Ayumu thought back through all of Kanone's ramblings, but couldn't place the term, "No, who are they?"
"After the Hunters recieved word that Kanzaka was killed, they split into two groups, the ones who alligned themselves with Kanone, and the ones who call themselves Rebels. In reality, it's ironic, since the Rebels are the Hunters staying true to their mission, but nonetheless, they're a major threat."
"What do these Rebels want?"
"Simple, they want the Blade Children dead, though their main target is Kanone."
"Kanone?" Ayumu asked, "Why?" Kanone had done a lot of things, but what had he done to have the Rebels single him out above everyone else.
"They blame him for Kanzaka's death, among other things." Rio informed him.
"What other things?"
"Their leader...he despises Kanone more than anything, and only wishes for his death."
"Who's their leader?" Ayumu wondered, then gasped, "Kiyotaka."
Rio nodded, "That's why Kanone has been doing all of this. He doesn't want you to have faith that Kiyotaka will return, because the truth is he will."
"Only after Kanone is dead, though, right?" Rio nodded in confirmation, "Why didn't Kanone tell me any of this earlier."
"He didn't think you would believe him, or that knowing that Kiyotaka would return would give you the motivation you needed to take Kanone down." she explained.
"But... I would never kill Kanone." Ayumu objected, "If I didn't kill him, Kiyotaka wouldn't return."
"All Kiyotaka needs is for you to weaken Kanone. If you defeat him, then that will be all that Kiyotaka needs to take him out. Then, he would return, and the Rebels would most likely fall into disarray."
"That's what you want, though, isn't it?" Ayumu asked, "For the Rebels to disabandon? If they did, you wouldn't have the Hunters to worry about anymore."
"It's true." Rio agreed, "However, who knows what the ones that follow Kanone would do when they found out he had been killed? They might go after you, thinking you're the cause of everything."
"So, in any case, what you're telling me is I shouldn't be fighting with Kanone?"
"That depends. Who do you want back more: Kanone or Kiyotaka?"
Ayumu was about to answer before he hesitated, who did he want back more? He wanted Kanone, he knew he did, but Kiyotaka returning would make everything so much simpler. Yet, there was one other problem, "If Kiyotaka returns, wouldn't he wish for your death as well? The death of the other Blade Children?"
Rio shook her head, "Kiyotaka has no qualms with us, only Kanone."
"The other Rebels, though, they do?"
Rio nodded, "I don't know the specifics. Why they would enlist Kiyotaka as thier leader when they weren't even after the same goal in the long run. All I know is that Kiyotaka wants Kanone dead, and if you continue going against him like you are, he will more than likely achieve his goal."
Chills ran down Ayumu's spine at the thought of not having Kanone, of being left all alone again. He hated that feeling, and would do whatever he could to prevent it from becoming a reality. He stood, smiling just the faintest bit, "Thanks, Rio." Without another word, he turned to leave.
"Wait, Ayumu, what are you going to do?" she called.
Ayumu turned, grinning, "What do you think?"
Rio nodded, "Ayumu... do you love Kanone?"
Ayumu sighed, "I did..." he replied, looking back at Rio, "I'm honestly not sure anymore, though. He's kept things from me, lied to me...I still can't bare to think of losing him, though."
Rio frowned, "You should be sure. Before you make your move, be sure he's worth all of this."
"Worth it?" Ayumu asked, "What do you mean?"
"Losing Kiyotaka, and possibly having the Rebels come after you. When they realize that you're on Kanone's side, they won't take it lightly."
"Losing Kiyotaka?" Ayumu repeated, "You mean...Kanone will kill him?"
"I'm not sure, but we can't dismiss the possibilty."
Ayumu nodded, he supposed that made sense, "If Kanone kills him, then what will happen?"
Rio shook her head, "I don't know." she admitted, "Just...be careful."
Ayumu nodded once more, "I always am." he turned to leave, wondering how careful he could be when dealing with Kanone.
Finally returning to Kanone's, Ayumu walked through the door, noticing some lights were on, "Guess he's home." he thought, glancing to the stove. Of course Kanone hadn't cooked, not when he and Ayumu practically lived together. Turning his attention back to the rest of the apartment, he saw Kanone nowhere, and then noticed the bedroom door was shut. Sighing, Ayumu made his way there, wondering how to approach Kanone about the subject. Hopefully he would listen to him. Of course, if he was asleep, then that might of meant he had had a bad day, and Kanone on a bad day...Ayumu shuttered at the thought of the last time he had been in a foul mood. Kanone tended to blow off steam in the form of rough sex that left Ayumu limping the next day. Sticking his head in the door, he saw his lover passed out, most likely from exhaustion, on the bed. He grinned a little at the way his arms and legs were bent every which way, but quickly frowned. For Kanone to crash this hard that he didn't even hear Ayumu enter the room, he must have been under a lot of stress. Ayumu was sure he wasn't helping one bit, either, and crossed the room to their bed. He sat down next to Kanone's sleeping form, memorizing every detail of his face. He thought it was funny how peaceful Kanone looked when he was sleeping, but supposed everyone did.
Placing a gentle kiss on his lips was enough to wake Kanone up, and his olive green eyes shot open to stare into Ayumu's chocolate brown ones. The latter pulled away as the older one sat up, "Ayumu?" he asked, slightly confused, "What are you doing here?" He wouldn't have expected Ayumu to come back so soon.
"I...talked to Rio." Ayumu explained, "She told me all about Kiyotaka and the Rebels."
Kanone nodded, his expression not changing, but Ayumu could see the immense relief in his eyes, "And?" he asked, uncertain.
Ayumu bit his bottom lip, looking to Kanone. He saw the fear that perhaps Ayumu would tell him that he hadn't believed a word of it, and that he was joining Kiyotaka's side. If he had been thinking logically at all, he would have known that would never happen. Then again, Kanone wasn't much for thinking right now. Ayumu thought back over Rio's words. She had said he should be sure before he made his move; to be sure that he loved Kanone. Looking at the hope, of all things, in Kanone's eyes made him realize that he did love Kanone. He wanted more than anything to protect that innocent light he saw in his lover's eyes. So, he nodded, "And I believe you." he finally said, "I just don't know why you didn't tell me about this. I would have believed you." Though, Ayumu wasn't entirely sure that was true. He had been beyond pissed at Kanone, and probably would have thought that the older one was lying to him, simply to try and trick him once more.
Kanone breathed out an audible sigh of relief as he pulled Ayumu into a tight embrace, "Thank you." he whispered. Ayumu smiled slightly, and willingly leaned in as Kanone pulled him into a heated kiss. The younger one moaned into the kiss, pulling Kanone closer and opening his mouth when the other boy's tounge demanded entrance. Kanone pulled Ayumu down onto the bed and strattled him, never once breaking the kiss. Finally, the two parted and Kanone smirked down at his lover, "I truly do love you." he said, running a hand through Ayumu's hair.
Ayumu closed his eyes at the sensation, leaning his head back into Kanone's hand and gasping as the older one leaned down to suck on his exposed neck, "I love you, too." he moaned, wrapping his arms around Kanone's neck and dragging him closer to his body.
Kanone licked his way down to Ayumu's shirt collar, "You taste so good." he murmured, before pulling back to slip Ayumu's shirt off. He gazed over the younger one's body, running his hands over silky smooth skin. He continued to kiss and lick his way down Ayumu's chest, loving how the boy arched his back as Kanone started to suck on his nipple softly. Ayumu's hands tangled in his lover's hair, pulling him down further, his impatience very clear. Obliging, Kanone moved downwards, stopping once more at his naval, "Delicious." he purred against the boy's stomach before plunging his tounge into the small hole that made up Ayumu's bellybutton.
Ayumu wriggled underneath Kanone, "More." he begged, desperately needing a release. He had gone too long without Kanone's hands on him, touching him. He needed this more than anything right now. Kanone slid his hands from Ayumu's hair down to his pants, softly massaging the obvious erection he found there. Of course, this only teased Ayumu and made him more horny, "Please." he whispered, whimpering a little. He thrusted into Kanone's hand, trying to get some sort of friction going. Grinning, Kanone slowly unzipped Ayumu's pants with his teeth, throwing the unwanted clothing aside. He licked his lips at the sight, remembering that Ayumu hadn't worn boxers the first night they were together, either. The throbbing organ was practically begging for attention on its own, and Ayumu's moans and whimpers were only exciting Kanone, letting him know he needed his own release as well. It felt like an eternity since he had held Ayumu or felt his warmth surrounding him.
Moving back to meet Ayumu's lips with his own, Kanone captured the younger one's wrists in one hand, holding them above his own. Ayumu gave him a slightly confused look, but Kanone just smiled reassuringly, "Just trust me." he whispered, "I wouldn't hurt you for the world."
Considering everything they had been through, Ayumu didn't know how honest this statement was, but he did know that he trusted Kanone. He smiled a little, "I know." he assured his lover, then gasped as the latter rubbed their erections together, though Kanone's was still clothed. Ayumu groaned at the sensation, and rubbed himself against Kanone, chills running down his spine every time he did so. He tugged on Kanone's shirt, telling him that getting undressed was the only thing he needed to be doing now, and Kanone quickly got the hint. Ayumu quickly unbuttoned his shirt, marveling at the perfect body beneath it. He ran a hand down his right side, stopping temporarily at the missing rib. He rubbed it softly, looking up at Kanone to see he had his eyes fixed on Ayumu, watching his every movement, "Are you sensetive here?" he wondered.
"Extremely." Kanone responded in a low voice, "I've never trusted anybody but one other person to come anywhere near that part of me."
"I won't hurt you, will I?" Ayumu asked, suddenly wondering if he had ever elbowed Kanone in the ribs by accident or when he was sleeping.
Kanone smirked, leaning down to place a kiss on Ayumu's lips, "Don't worry, I can handle a little pain."
"Massochist." Ayumu whispered, then turned his attention back to Kanone's pants.
"You know you love it." Kanone commented, undoing his belt and pants, and slipping them off. Only left in his boxers, Ayumu gaped at the size of Kanone's erection. He didn't remember it being that big before.
Kanone chuckled, "You act like this is our first time together." he told Ayumu, "I didn't hurt you before, and I won't this time." Putting complete faith in Kanone's words, Ayumu pulled down the older one's boxers and looked up at him expectantly. Thankfully, Kanone had the sense to grab a small bottle of lube out of the night stand next to his bed, and spread some of the substance onto his erection, "You ready?" he asked.
Ayumu smirked, "Always." he replied. Kanone needed no further encouragement as he pushed himself into his lover's tight hole, moaning as Ayumu's warmth surrounded him. Ayumu hissed a little at the pain, but grew quickly accustomed to it and started to see the pleasure in it. Kanone only waited a second more before drawing himself out and quickly pushing back into that wonderful warmth. Ayumu moaned as Kanone hit his prostate dead on, sending waves of pleasure racking his entire body. Kanone increased his pace quickly, leaning down to place a hard kiss on Ayumu's parted lips, slipping his tounge inside the unexpecting mouth. He moved downward, once again reaching Ayumu's neck. He kissed the younger one's pulse, feeling it beat rapidly. He knew that Ayumu couldn't hold out much longer, and neither could he. He trailed kisses down Ayumu's neck, reaching his shoulder and biting down hard as he slammed into the boy under him.
Ayumu cried out in a mix of pleasure and pain as Kanone both hit his prostate and broke the skin on his shoulder. He dug his nails into Kanone's back, being so close to his orgasm. One more pump into the small body sent Ayumu over the edge, nearly screaming as he spilled himself onto thier chests. His muscles tensed, massaging Kanone's member and sending the older one into bliss as well. Pushing in and out a couple more times, releasing his seed into Ayumu, Kanone finally collapsed onto his lover, kissing the tender skin that had been bitten so violently, "Sorry about that." he whispered, nuzzling Ayumu's neck.
"Don't worry, I can handle a little pain." he responded, smirking.
Kanone licked Ayumu's earlobe, "Massochist." he whispered.
"You know you love it." Ayumu countered, sighing as the weight of his lover was lifted off his body and onto the bed next to him. He immediately rolled over, snuggling up to Kanone.
The latter wrapped an arm around Ayumu, pulling him close and kissing the top of his head, "I most certainly do."

Aww, they made up. Sorry I haven't updated in a while, but I made it up with a lemon. See? Next chappy...things will happen. What things? I'm not sure. Ayumu will come down from his sex high and remember that Kanone still has Madoka kidnapped, and Eyes will brood about what to do about Kanone's plan...what is his plan? If Kiyotaka doesn't kill him, will he try and kill Kiyotaka? Eyes already said he wouldn't do such a thing...Who knows what these people are doing...Anyway, here's the next quote:
"I think I'm finally starting to understand Kiyotaka's words. About the happiness of those who believe."
a)The Sound of an Iris Freezing and Melting
b)All Things That Are Possible To You
c)The Lamenting Angel
d)Spiral of Destiny
Not sure if I got that quite right...but it's close enough. Good luck!
