Hmm, so what will Kanone do with Madoka now? And what will happen when Hiyono finds Ayumu and tells him everything she learned from Eyes? Ooh, Eyes, I wonder what he'll do about Kanone's stupid little plan? Will he tell Ayumu? Who knows... enjoy!
Polaris18: (gets glomped)..whoooo! I finally got rid of that damn internet explorer, and downloaded this firefox thing. It seems to be working and it's awesome! Yeppers, it was crazy Kanone talking to himself (okay thinking, but...whatever). I'll put Polairs in probably next chappy; I haven't forgotten her (she's actually a pretty handy character!). Thanks for revieiwng!
Red Kitsune Flames: There's always something going on with Kanone. He can never be happy with what he has (god forbid he was happy...it would be the first sign of the apocalypse). Actually, the quote was Kanone thinking to himself (very end of the last episode right before he burst into a whole bunch of little sparkly things...)I dunno the commentary said it was puzzle pieces. Well, Greg said it was puzzle peices...I think Kousuke might have just rubbed off on him a little. Anyway, thanks for revieiwng!
Answer: The quote was Kanone to...himself (he was thinking it). The episode was The Sound of an Iris Freezing and Melting.

Eyes couldn't understand it exactly, why Kanone would even consider doing such a thing. He would have never thought Kanone would take that way out, "If he fails, though, he might see that as the best way to escape." he thought, but shook his head. Kanone had always said that suicide was the easy way out; the option that people who gave up took. Kanone was not one to give up; perhaps Eyes misunderstood him. Kanone couldn't kill himself, it just wasn't pheasable. He would be giving up so much, and hurting many people. Eyes knew that Kanone cared, so he wouldn't hurt everyone close to him by doing something so...selfish. That just simply was not Kanone. No, Eyes must have misunderstood. He thought back over Kanone's words, "He said he hadn't forgotten. He hadn't forgotten the promise I made to protect him; to protect myself." Of course, Kanone must have known that the only thing Eyes wanted to protect was him, "He said I would try to stop him, though." Eyes recalled. The only way he would stop Kanone would be if the older one was to hurt himself. It made no sense, and killing himself was the only thing that Eyes could see fitting that criteria.
He shook his head, tired of thinking and developing a headache rapidly. He didn't want to tell anyone, not yet. If he was wrong about all this, he didn't want to worry anyone. Of course, when was the last time Eyes was wrong? Plopping down on his oversized bed, he stared at his ceiling, thoughts racing through his head. He knew immediately he couldn't keep this to himself, but who could he tell? Who could he trust to believe him? Then it hit him; that girl, "Polaris." Eyes recalled. He would tell her; she was close enough to Kanone. He couldn't worry Ayumu with this, not with everything that was happening already. Polaris, though, would believe him simply because she loved Kanone and would do anything to protect him. If she had even the slightest notion that Kanone would be hurt, she would jump to stop it from ever happening. How did Eyes know all this? Simple; he felt the same exact way.
"Come on, Ayumu, answer." Hiyono said into her phone, impatiently. She knew Ayumu must be with Kanone, and he had to know what Kanone had done, and everything she had learned from Eyes.
Finally, the other line picked up, "Yeah?" a voice mumbled into the phone.
"Ayumu! Where have you been? I've been calling your phone like mad!"
"I know, I've been ignoring you like mad." Ayumu thought, but just sighed, "I'm over at Kanone's." he replied.
"Ayumu, you need to get out of there. Now!" Hiyono said, almost desperately.
"Huh? Why?" Ayumu asked, glancing over to his lover, who had fallen fast asleep after their recent activities.
"Just do it, Ayumu."
"Is everything alright?" said boy asked, noticing the concern in his friend's voice.
"Kanone..." Hiyono started.
"What about him?"
"Kanone sent someone to kill me!" she yelled into the phone, "It was this girl, she had long, silver hair, and really blue eyes. In fact, she looked like she could be Eyes' twin."
"Wait, hold on a minute, what did you say?" Ayumu asked, sitting up, "He sent her to kill you?"
"Ayumu, please, get out of there. I don't think it's safe." Hiyono begged.
Ayumu didn't think that Kanone was intending to hurt him, especially not after what they did, but he was concerned about Hiyono, "Alright, I'll be over in a few minutes."
He heard an audible sigh of relief at this, "Alright, hurry. And Ayumu?"
"I'll be careful." he assured her, smirking at how predictable she was.
"Don't make fun of me just because I'm concerned about you!" she yelled, hanging up on him, "...whoops." she said in a small voice. Setting her phone down, she looked out her window. It was hardly a pleasant night, cloudy and kind of humid, "Ayumu..." she whispered, "Please, get here soon."
On the other end, Ayumu shut his phone and sighed. He looked to Kanone, "Why?" he wondered, "Why would he send someone to kill Hiyono if he wanted my help. Unless..." Ayumu shook his head, Kanone wouldn't do something that cruel. There would be no point in gaining Ayumu's trust back only to destroy it once more. He was seriously starting to wonder what Kanone had planned, though, and if he would ever just be satisfied with what he had. From Ayumu's point of view, Kanone pretty much had it all. A nice place, friends, a boyfriend who loved him. Sure, Kiyotaka and the Rebels were a bit of an obstacle, but did Kanone really always have to go to such extremes? This brought along a whole new train of thoughts, "Why hasn't he released Madoka yet?" he wondered. If Kanone was being honest with him, he'd have no reason to keep Madoka any longer. Had Ayumu been that stupid as to fall for some empty promises and lies? He didn't think Rio would lie to him, but who knows what Kanone had threatened her with? Whatever the case was, Ayumu knew that Hiyono was right, and that he definitely needed to leave.
Ayumu quickly slipped his clothes back on and ran a hand through his mess of hair. He glanced once more to Kanone, wishing more than anything that the Blade Child would just talk to him and tell him what was wrong. He knew that wasn't Kanone, though, and that it was wishful thinking. So, he headed towards the door, intending to find out exactly how much Kanone had been decieving him. He reached for the door handle, but was stopped by Kanone's voice, "Ayumu?" the sleepy, southern accent asked, "Where are you going?"
Ayumu turned to his boyfriend, "Hiyono called." he said.
Those two words woke Kanone up as he sat up in bed, "Did she now?" he asked. This wasn't going to end well, Kanone could see that now.
Ayumu decided to place his trust once more in Kanone, though he wasn't sure that was an entirely wise idea. He abandoned the doorknob and rejoined the older one on the bed, "She told me some things that I don't want to believe, but I have to." he said, avoiding eye contact with Kanone.
The latter smiled softly, "Believe them." he told Ayumu, "Believe them because they're true. Whatever Hiyono told you, I'm sure she wasn't lying."
"Why?" Ayumu asked, his eyes welling up with tears, "Why do you keep doing this to me?" Kanone said nothing, mostly because he had no answer. Luckily for him, Ayumu continued, "Why do you continue to do things that you know will push me away when all I want to do is help you?"
Kanone sighed. He knew Ayumu would want some sort of answer sometime, "If it's worth anything, I only ordered to have Hiyono killed before I talked to Rio. If I would have thought that you would reason with me, I would have never done such a thing, you know that. Ayumu," Kanone paused to turn his lover's tear-stained face towards him, "do you think I would honestly try to push you away? I love you; there's nothing I want more than to be with you."
"You are with me." Ayumu objected, "Why isn't that enough?"
"I don't want to lose you." Kanone whispered, "I'll do whatever I must to make sure I don't."
It was Ayumu's turn to grab Kanone's face this time, a hand on each side, "You aren't going to lose me, I promise."
Kanone smiled sadly, "I wish it were that simple." he said, "It's not, though, and you know it, don't you?"
"This is still about Kiyotaka?" Ayumu asked.
Kanone nodded, "You still want him back. If only for Madoka, you want him back."
"I do want him back, but I want you more." Ayumu assured him.
Kanone shook his head this time, "You'll only be hurting yourself by lying like this. Hurting yourself, as well as me."
Ayumu stood, "I still have to go to Hiyono's." he announced, "She'll get worried if I'm too late."
A frown formed on Kanone's lips at the thought of being alone, "Alright." he agreed, he could find someone to stalk, he was sure of that.
The cholocate haired boy leaned down to place a kiss on Kanone's lips, "I'll be back soon." Kanone smiled his goodbye, and watched Ayumu walk out the door.
Sighing, the brunette flopped back down on his bed, "Ayumu, if only you would realize that you still care for Kiyotaka." If Ayumu could realize that, then he could realize how easy it would be to take the older Narumi down. As long as Kiyotaka was in his thoughts, though, Ayumu would never be Kanone's; that hurt more than anything.

Hmm, that was kind of short...hope I didn't give away anything, though. Whole lot of things going on, and they're all gonna make a big boom when they come together.
