Let's see...30 chapters sound good for this fic? Who knows, I'm not going to try and end it at any certain chapter, but I think 30 sounds good. I'm going to try and end it as I had planned, but...(glances to every fic I've ever written)...yeah...that hasn't gone so well in the past. Heh, enjoy!

Polaris18: Why do I have the feeling you're only reading this fic anymore because your character is in it? That's not very nice, you know, giving me false hope that you're interested in the actual story...(pouts). Thanks for reviewing.

Red Kitsune Flames: I love flashbacks, I can't help it. I know I've said that about a billion times, but only because it's true. You were close for guessing, lol. Thanks for reviewing!

Answer: The quote was from Ayumu to Kanone. The episode was The Sound of an Iris Freezing and Melting.

Madoka, of course, wasn't home. Ayumu sighed as he locked and closed his door; he hadn't really expected her to be there, but he was now officially worried. Not even so much that she was missing, that seemed to happen a lot, but it was that he had no idea where she was, who had taken her, nothing. Whoever had her wasn't even attempting to make contact with him, which also scared him a little since he didn't know what their motives would be. He could only imagine it was one of the Rebels, or maybe even Kiyotaka that had taken her, but why...well, he didn't know that. He looked up at the cloudy night sky, "Madoka," he thought, "Where are you?"

"What should I do?" Madoka wondered, sitting on the edge of Kiyotaka's bed, elbows on her knees, head resting on her folded hands. She didn't want to betray Ayumu, but she didn't want to lose Kiyotaka again. She stared at the ground, "What do I do?" She was angry, mostly at herself, for not knowing the answers to these questions. She had searched for Kiyotaka for so long, longer than she had even known him, and she finally had him back. On the other hand, she had put Ayumu through so much, and had been so hard on him for interfering when he may not have even had a choice in the matter. She didn't know these Blade Children, or what they had put Ayumu through, but she knew that he was gone a lot, and sometimes didn't come home. The only one of the Blade Children she had ever met was Kanone, and she knew if all the others were anything like him, then it was amazing that Ayumu was still alive.

She also knew that Ayumu was with Kanone now, though, and she knew the kind of person Kanone was (A/N: Yeah, right.). If he legitimately cared for Ayumu, then there was no way in hell he would hurt him. She sighed, "If he cares for him." she thought. She didn't know what to do, but knew that she had to make her decision soon. Kiyotaka would be back shortly to hear her answer, and she wanted one ready for him, "Ayumu...Kiyotaka...were those two destined to meet each other head on?" she wondered. She remembered back to when Kiyotaka told her that Ayumu might be able to, one day, surpass him. If that day was ever to come, it would be soon.

"Have you made your decision?" came the deep voice of her husband. Madoka jumped slightly, having been so immersed in her thoughts that she hadn't heard Kiyotaka enter the room.

After thinking over her choice one last time, she nodded, "Yes." she said, standing and walking over to him.

His smirk didn't go unnoticed, not that he had ever tried to hide it, "And?" he asked, a little impatiently.

"I've decided..." Madoka trailed off, "I'm sorry, Ayumu." She looked up to Kiyotaka once more, "I'm staying." Her voice was little more than a whisper, as if the volume and not the words themselves would account for her betrayal. There was no other word for it, either, she was betraying Ayumu. Of course, with the options she had been given, it wasn't as if she could make it through this without betraying someone. It was all a question of whom she was more devoted to: Kiyotaka or Ayumu. It hurt to admit that the former still had her heart in his hand, and that she couldn't give him up again after all this time; not of her own free will. She refused to make the same mistake twice, and only hoped that she wasn't doing so, only with the other brother this time.

"I'm happy to hear that." Kiyotaka said, pulling her into an embrace, circling his strong arms around her back, "I missed you." he finally returned the words she had wanted to hear him say for so long.

She looked up at him, a bit more confident in her decision now, "What do you think will happen to Ayumu?" She knew he didn't want to talk about it, and even knew the response he'd give her, but she still had to ask. Kiyotaka simply stared at her, silently telling her to remember the terms if she decided to stay here, "Ayumu is dead to us now." she thought, "Then why is he still on my mind?"

"Let's not waste anymore thoughts or worries on a traitor." Kiyotaka suggested, pulling back from the hug, "I'm sure you're starving by now."

As if on cue, Madoka's stomach grumbled to agree readily with his suspicions. He chuckled lightly and turned to walk out of the room. She quickly followed, "I don't suppose you have roast beef?" she asked as she disappeared out the door behind him.

"Kanone?" Ayumu asked, snuggling up to his lover.

"Hmm?" came the reply as an arm wrapped around the brunette, pulling him closer.

"Everything will be okay, right?" Ayumu's voice held a certain degree of hesitation and just the slightest hint of fear that everything really wouldn't be okay.

"Okay? What do you mean?" Kanone played the innocent act a little too much to be believable.

"You know what I mean. Everything will be alright with us, right?"

"With us?" the Blade Child repeated once more, then smiled softly, "Well, Ayumu, that all depends on you."

"What do you mean?" It was now Ayumu's turn to ask the question.

"I mean, whatever you choose in the end will decide whether or not we will make it."

Ayumu frowned at hearing this, "But...what am I supposed to choose?" he wondered, "What path should I take?"

"That's all up to you." Kanone told him.

"I want to stay with you, though." the younger one said in almost a whimper, "I don't want to lose you because of some stupid mistake."

"If you truly want to be with me, then just let your heart guide you and don't hesitate." he said, "Please, don't hesitate." he added in his head. He couldn't bare to think anymore on the subject and could only wait to see what Ayumu did in the end.

(A/N: This next part is for Polaris by request and if I don't do it now, I won't do it ever, so here it is, Polaris, you had best love it!)

Ayumu sighed, leaning on Kanone's chest, "I won't." he promised, though he wasn't sure of his own words. It was just in his nature to hesitate and second-guess himself.

Kanone pulled the worried boy into a heated kiss, and soon enough all of Ayumu's concerns were temporarliy melted away. The latter moaned into the kiss and pulled Kanone closer, reaching a hand to unbutton his shirt. Kanone smirked slightly at the hungry lips devouring his, but soon joined in the mindless making out as Ayumu's hand traveled further south, tugging on his pants. As an inexperienced hand slipped under his boxers, the Blade Child's phone suddenly went off.

Kanone had every intention to ignore it and continue on with his previous plans, but Ayumu pulled his hand out of his pants. Kanone half-glared, half-pouted at him and reached for his phone, "Hello?" he spat, daring whoever was on the other end to say anything to keep him from having sex. Once Kanone had his mind set on getting laid, he got laid.

"Kanone?" a frightened voice asked on the other end, "Are you there?"

The glare softened just the tiniest bit, "What is it?" he asked the Blade Child, annoyed.

"I...can you come over?" she asked, sounding oddly scared. As long as Kanone had known her, Polaris had never sounded this terrified of anything.

"Did something happen?" he wondered, now slightly more concerned and slightly less pissed.

"I had a really terrible nightmare." she whispered, as if ashamed to be telling Kanone this.

The glare resumed in full-force, "You called me because you had a bad dream?" he clarified. It wasn't that he was heartless towards the girl, but honestly, what kind of nightmare could she have had to call him in the middle of the night like this?

"You don't understand." she quickly objected, "It was...I couldn't..." she trailed off, not wanting to speak of the horrors that had plauged her dreams.

Kanone heard the hesitation in her voice, the uncertainty of what she was doing and why she had called him. Everything he heard in her voice was everything he knew Polaris wasn't, and that was a bit terrifying. Sighing, he sat up, "I'll be over in a few minutes." he promised, closing the phone and cutting off her quiet 'thank you'.

Ayumu looked from the phone in Kanone's hand to the boy himself, "What was that about?"

The Blade Child shook his head, "I don't know, but she seems pretty shaken up." he said.

"So...you're going?" he asked, slightly saddened.

Kanone glanced to the fallen face of his lover and frowned as well. Suddenly, an idea popped into his head and he leaned over and whispered something in Ayumu's ear. The chocolate-haired boy blinked a few times, wondering if his boyfriend had really just suggested that. He looked into the golden eyes for an explanation of which he recieved, "It's a way to kill two birds with one stone." Ayumu shrugged, it wasn't a completely unattractive idea. Though he had yet to see this Polaris girl, he'd heard a lot about her, and if she could pass for Eyes' twin, he was in.

"Let's go." he said, standing up and replacing his shirt for the time being.

Soon enough, they were standing in front of Polaris' door and Kanone knocked a few times, "I get to be in front." he informed Ayumu with a sly smirk to accompany the claim.

"You're making her sound like a car you're calling shotgun to ride." Ayumu said, disapprovingly.

The silver-haired girl opened the door and Kanone grinned, "Shotgun."

"Huh?" Polaris asked, cocking her head to the side slightly. She shook off her confusion and pulled Kanone into a tight hug, "Thanks for coming." she whispered, looking up to him, "I just..." her words were silenced with a mouth covering hers in a suprisingly passionate kiss for Kanone. When they broke a moment later, she was speechless, "Wha...When...Who..." she trailed off once again, looking at Kanone, a look of pure confusion on her face.

"Let's get one thing straight." he whispered into her ear, "You want me, I want to get laid. Since you interrupted me in the process of getting laid, we're now having sex."

Her blue eyes widened at the last statement. She could have figured (and even knew) most of the other things, but the last few words caught her completely off-guard, "What's he doing here?" she wondered, motioning towards Ayumu.

"Ayumu will be joining us." Kanone informed her.

"Joining? What do you...oh." She got his meaning all of a sudden and laughed, nervously, "You know, I'm feeling much better." she lied, "We really don't need to go all out."

"No, no, no, no." Kanone said, chuckling a little, "I don't believe you understand. You drug me out of my bed, ruining any chance I had of sleeping with my boyfriend, and now you must compensate me for that. Besides," he leaned in towards her ear, "you know you want me."

Polaris' heart skipped a beat when he whispered those last five words and found herself, once again, in a liplock with her not-so-secret crush. Before she knew it, nimble hands were sliding her shirt up and the lips that were attached to hers broke off for only a moment to discard the no-longer-needed clothing. A slight moan was heard as Kanone slipped his tounge inside her mouth and massaged her own, baiting it to play.

Ayumu decided that he wanted in on some of the action, and moved behind Polaris, grasping her hips and rubbing his arousal into her ass, moaning. She gasped as Kanone broke the kiss and began rubbing his own erection against her, smiling at Ayumu. The darker-haired boy grinned back and reached around to the front of her pants, slowly pulling her zipper down. Kanone did the rest, sliding her pants the rest of the way down to the floor where she managed to snap out of her daze long enough to kick them aside.

Now, left in only her underwear and bra, Polaris decided it was time for the boys to start stripping. She grinned as she slipped out from in between the two and had to hold back a laugh as they immediately clung to each other, like a couple of magnets. She watched, excitedly as Kanone began to suck on Ayumu's neck and rub himself against his boyfriend. Ayumu moaned slightly, mimicking the motion as he slowly unbuttoned Kanone's shirt for the second time that night. Once the boys were shirtless, Polaris rose back to her feet and made her way behind Kanone, wrapping her arms around his waist and softly massaging the bulge she found in his pants. He bucked into her hand and Ayumu took that moment to step back and watch the sight of Polaris strip Kanone of the rest of his clothes.

Not at all ashamed of being the only one fully naked, Kanone turned and kissed Polaris briefly before turning to Ayumu and pulling him back closer. Ayumu's pants were soon forgotten as they joined Kanone's on the floor. Now that both of the brunettes were completely declothed, they turned their attention to Polaris, Kanone smirking and Ayumu grinning a little. Biting her lip a little nervously, Polaris hesitantly unhooked her bra and let it drop to the floor. She swallowed hard and looked to the two boys, who were suprisingly not jumping her.

Kanone had to keep himself from laughing as he walked up to her, "We're gay, remember?" he told her. Ayumu nodded in confirmation as he approached her from behind. Polaris briefly wondered why they were doing this if neither of the boys were attracted to her, but pushed those thoughts out of her head as Kanone rid her of the last remaining clothing any of the three had on them. Kanone knew for a fact that Polaris had never been with anyone before, and had warned Ayumu of this before hand, so both of the boys knew that they had to prepare her.

Fortunately for Kanone, seeing the two boys make out and undress each other had excited Polaris and she was wet enough that he had no need for the small bottle of lubricant in his pocket. Fishing it out, he passed it off to Ayumu, who would most certainly have a use for it. Spreading some of the substance onto his fingers, Ayumu pressed a single fingertip against her hole, which she pushed back on and gasped slightly as his finger slid right in. Her eyes widened momentarily before she adjusted to the intrusion and signaled with her hips that she was ready for more. A second finger proved to be of some discomfort, but she shook it off, not wanting to delay the events any more that necessary. She had been far from horny when the two first arrived, but now she was about to say 'screw it, screw me'. Ayumu pushed his final finger up her tight ass and hesitated when a tiny whimper escaped her throat.

Kanone quickly remedied this by placing a chaste kiss on her lips, drawing her attention away from the pain and towards him. His wandering fingers brushing up against her clit didn't hurt, either. In fact, it felt pretty damn good and she moaned her approval when he ran his thumb over a spot that made her toes curl. Plunging two fingers into her, both suprised an excited the silver-haired girl and she quickly decided that enough was enough, "I'm ready." she whispered in Kanone's ear.

That was all the boys needed as they drew their fingers out and replaced it with their cocks. With a short nod from the sandwiched girl, she was entered in both holes at once, creating amazing pain and wonderful pleasure at the same time. Kanone leaned foward to place a heated kiss on her lips, once more distracting her from the slight burning sensation. After she adjusted to having both boys in her at the same time, Polaris moved slightly to let them know to proceed, which they did without hesitation. Kanone grabbed her hips and started thrusting in and out of her while Ayumu brought his hands around to cup her breasts and mimick his lover's motions.

After a few moments the two picked up the pace one slamming into her as the other drew out and vice versa. Soon, Polaris was panting with pleasure and cried out her climax. Kanone rested his chin on her shoulder, closing his eyes as he thrusted in and out of her. Ayumu leaned foward, closing the gaps betweent their lips in a passionate kiss as the silver-haired girl's muscle spasmed around both of their erections and sending them over the edge at the same time. A few more thrusts into her, and the three barely made it to the couch to collapse in exhaustion.

Polaris snuggled in between the two boys as Kanone wrapped his arm around both of his lovers. He kissed Polaris on the forehead then tilted his head slightly to kiss Ayumu. The girl quickly fell asleep, leaving the two boys, who had much higher stamina and could stay awake for at least a few minutes after sex, to talk about said activity. Kanone grinned over at his true lover, "So?"

Ayumu chuckled, looking down at Polaris, "It was different." he offered.

Kanone kept his laugh to a low snicker, for fear of waking the already-asleep girl, "No offense to her, but I perfer penis."

Ayumu snorted at this, "So, then, does that mean you'll let me be on top next time?"

An eyebrow shot up at the suggestion, "We'll see." was the only reply he got before the two silently agreed to go to sleep, "If there is a next time." Kanone added, only in his head. He sighed and glanced once more at Polaris beofre drifting off.

Sorry, that was the best I could do on such short notice. I apologize to any and all who read this. Not because of the pairing, per say, but because I know I write horrible straight lemons. I've only done one other one, I think, and it was even worse (if that's possible). Anyway, no more of this straight stuff, I'm gay lemon-ing it from here on out! With that said, the next couple of chapters should be much more exciting compared to these past few. All the loose ends have been tied up and we can finally progress to the final battle (it's been about long enough, wouldn't you agree?). Anywho, review!
