I think its maybe about time to update this story, but first…

Reviewer Responses:

KousukeAsazuki: If you do get hits, it means people are actually reading it, so they must like your stories. Yes, I do like Kanone, so I felt really bad about making him such a jerk. He's my second favorite character in Spiral, right after Eyes. And maybe you're right, maybe you're not, you'll just have to read. Ha. Yea, Eyes really is like that, thanks for thinking that I'm keeping him in character. And that idea about buying Spiral and making sequel, that would be cool. Thank you for reviewing!

Yuumei: Yay! You give me praise! Thank you for that! But I'm not really a great one. That fangirl would be me too…guess your letter beat mine. And yes, Eyes is caringish…he can be that way…when his lover is in mortal danger mwahahaha…Yep, Kanone is being much better, now people who love him don't have to kill me. Thanks for your review, I appreciate it.

CeTe: HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I realize I'm two days late but…yea…Awwwwww, I wish you didn't know that first hand. And yes, much drama ahead…I think. Thank you for the review, and I can't wait to read more of your story.

Tsuhiyo: Inspiration huh? Cool. An you're welcome. And here's more of my work, thanks for the review, I'm grateful.

Its about time I continue the story right?

Disclaimer: I don't own Spiral, but if things go as planned, and KousukeAsazuki and I gather enough lint, then that will soon change.

Eyes' POV

I clutched the body of my lover close to me in the cab ride to the hospital, and once I realized Ayumu was shivering, I clutched it tighter to my body. I had already given him my coat, but obviously that wasn't enough. I hoped that whatever body warmth Ayumu could absorb from my body would be enough to keep him with me.

I brought his now pale face close to mine and nuzzled his neck, not caring about whether or not the cab driver was looking, not caring if Kanone shifted slightly in discomfort at the scene. I brought my lips close to his ear and whispered "Ayumu, don't leave me…"

Kanone's POV

I watched as Eyes gave an unusual display of affection toward Ayumu. Unusual not because it was weird, I suppose any lover would do that. Unusual because Eyes rarely ever showed affection.

As I watched him, I shifted in my seat uncomfortably. If anyone knew how I felt about Eyes, I'm sure they wouldn't blame me. I was jealous.

I, who am the childhood friend of Eyes, the one who he shared everything with, except his love, never got such intimate attention from Eyes, no matter how much I wished for it.

I remember this feeling of jealous from a while ago, when I was working with the Hunters. I admit I was torn by Eyes rejection and how he chose to believe in Ayumu rather than me. I suppose that was the main reason for me playing that game with Ayumu. He stole my Eyes, so I stole his sister. But in the end, I lost. Completely and utterly. I felt so shamed, I couldn't even face Eyes afterwards and left.

I felt the car come to a halt as the cab reached the hospital. I quickly opened the door and helped Eyes pull Narumi Otouto out of the car. After that, I paid the driver while Eyes took his…lover…to admit him into the hospital. When I walked in, I saw Eyes standing at the reception desk while Ayumu was being wheeled away on a gurney.

When I reached Eyes, I put my hand on his shoulder, he turned to face me from where he was staring at where Ayumu disappeared behind hospital doors. I gave him what I thought might be a reassuring smile. He nodded and then we both set off to the waiting room.

We were sitting in what seemed like a comfortable silence when…

"Why?"

Eyes' POV

The question just seemed to slip out of my mouth. "Why did you do it?" I had to know. Surely Kanone was not still upset about the fact that the Blade Children don't follow him.

At first, I didn't think he was going to answer me because he just sat there, staring at the ceiling, but then he leaned forward, resting his elbows on his thighs. He seemed to be thinking about something because his brows were furrowed. I waited silently for his inner debate to cease so that he could answer me.

I didn't have to wait long because after a few seconds, he sat up straight again and faced me with a determined look in his eyes.

Then it happened. It was so quick even for me. At one second, I was facing my childhood friend, waiting for him to answer my question, then the next second, I was frozen in shock as said childhood friend leaned closer to me and placed his lips on mine.

It was just like that time at Ayumu's house on that chilly autumn day. The kiss lasted just as that one as Kanone pulled back to look at my face. I admit that my eyes widened a fraction at the action. They widened a fraction more when Kanone placed his hand on my cheek.

"That's why."

"Kanone..you…" He smiled at me and chuckled a little, like nothing had happened. It reminded me even more of when Ayumu first kissed me.

"For a long time Eyes. Maybe even when we were younger; I suppose I just didn't recognize it then…" He looked regretful when he said that, but he quickly wiped the expression off his face and got up and announced that he was going to get some coffee.

I watched him leave and only when he was completely out of sight did I raise my hand to my lips and brush my fingers against them, recalling the feeling of another set of lips on them just moments ago.

"Kanone…" My head began to hurt. I was confused. I had no idea what I was doing or what I wanted anymore. I got up and paced around the waiting room a bit to clear my head.

I know I love Ayumu…but what about Kanone? What do I feel for him? And them I remembered. How whenever I felt Ayumu's touch and warmth, I compared it to another familiar touch. How the feelings I felt for Ayumu when I was still confused were like feelings I felt before for another. (1) And how even now, I felt those feelings. Did this mean…

I clutched my face in my hands. What kind of person am I? I love. I love them both. I gripped my shoulder length hair as I thought of what a disgusting person I was. Such is the fate of a Blade Child I suppose.

I sat back down on the sofa in the waiting room, head still clutched by my hands, dejected.

Not just dejected though. I felt odd. I felt like I was floating away, as if I was the one on the verge of death and not Ayumu.

Cold. It felt so cold without Ayumu. It felt so cold without Kanone.

I don't know what happened to me. It may have been the stress of Narumi being in the hospital or my new revelations or maybe a combination of both, but I soon fell into a haze. I didn't feel like I could control my body.

Kanone's POV

I walked back in the waiting room to see Eyes looking forward with blank eyes. "Eyes? What's wrong? Have they said anything about Ayumu?"

He looked up at me with those void eyes and suddenly got up, rushing toward me and burying his face in my chest when he did. I had to lift the coffee cups up in the ait to avoid spilling them. "Eyes? What's wrong?" I asked again. I looked up to the sign above and it showed that the patient was still in surgery, so Eyes most likely didn't hear some bad news from the doctors.

With Eyes still grasping me, it was hard to maneuver to place the coffee cups down, but I did, and once I did, I immediately moved my hands to the one I love's arms. My eyes widened in shock when I did. "Eyes, you're so cold." I began rubbing my hands up and down his arms, to try to warm them up.

It didn't seem like it would be enough, so I looked around the room and saw Eyes' coat that the doctor's must have given back when they took Ayumu away. It was still covered in blood, but it would have to do.

Holding Eyes close to me, I walked over to the sofa, picked up the coat and placed it on his shoulders. Then I continued to rub him through the jacket, hoping that it would finally warm him up. I remembered the hot coffee I bought and decided that that would help to. "Eyes why don't yo-"

I was cut off as a pair of lips pressed against mine. Despite his freezing body, Eyes' lips were very warm. I wanted to give in to the kiss, but I remembered his blank eyes No matter how much I want it…this isn't Eyes…So I protested and tried to break off the kiss. But he persisted.

I then grabbed him by his shoulders and pulled him away from me. I looked at his eyes again which were now open. And what I saw confused me. I saw recognition in those sapphires, he knew it was me, and yet he kissed me. Did that mean…? I was too busy with my confusion that I barely caught Eyes when he fainted.

I had no idea what to do so I sat picked Eyes' body up, sat on the sofa, and cradled his face to my chest, kissing his forehead a few times.

"Eyes…just what is it that you want?"

Eyes' POV

In my haze I was able to watch myself as I kissed Kanone and as I collapsed. It was like watching a movie of myself. I finally felt like I returned to my body, and it was so dark even at the border of unconsciousness.

As I was about to cross that border, I clearly heard a voice ask me:

"Eyes…just what is it that you want?"

Warmth. I want this warmth to stay…

Alpha2nd: Ooooooooooooooooooooooo what's going to happen? I don't knoooow…maybe. And don't think Eyes is a slut, is that the word, because he's not and he's had a hard life, so we should give him a break. Anyways, review please.
