Crap...I just realized that I wanted to do more with Eyes and Kanone before Kiyotaka showed up. Oh well, maybe I'll just do that with Eyes and Kiyotaka...it could work. And don't worry, it's nothin' nasty. Everyone says that they want me to make Kiyotaka be nice to Eyes...so I guess I will. What I had originally planned was way different, but I didn't really like the idea anyway, so I'm glad you all made suggestions! I think I can combine them into one big, wonderful idea...I'll try at least. And I haven't mentioned this before, but if you have any ideas for any of my other fics that you would like me to continue, just post them in a review for either that fic or this one. It doesn't really matter, but I'm just dead out of ideas for the rest of my fics, and even though I am (as of right now) only planning on continuing one, if I get a suggestion for another, I'll use it. Also, I'm planning on ending this fic either on Eyes' birthday or Christmas. You can choose which one you'd perfer, the choice won't alter the events that much, so it doesn't really matter which one you pick. However, if someone wants one, then I'll do that! Enjoy!
alpha2nd: Oh, hehe. I have the ablility to be void of all common sense sometimes, so it's most likely my fault for not understanding you. Glad you cleared that up, though! Yes, only slightly obssessive...hehehe, NOT! I was actually thinking of making our dear Eyes 15 in this fic. I know it goes against everything that is right in the Spiral world, but it just seemed fun to make him two years younger than Kanone. And come to think of it, I do have a reason for making him 15...it was the thing that I wanted to do with him and Kanone before Kiyotaka showed up, but then I forgot about it. I guess I have to do it with Kiyotaka now (did that sound really wrong?). Oh well, thanks for reviewing!
CeTe: He did ruin quite a nice moment for the two...their first kiss. I'll take your suggestion on what to do with Eyes and Kiyotaka..I'm glad someone actually offered some suggestion. What I had was too boring. Though I may change it slightly, but I think I can still fit the basic idea in. Thanks for reviewing!
Prosperpina: I understand about not liking Kanone in the anime. At first, before I saw anything about him, I hated him. Not sure why, I just thought he was a complete ass. Then I saw some of the flashbacks and when he first got to Japan, and I loved him. I'm a sucker for an accent, though, so maybe he just manipulated me into thinking he was awesome. Then at the end of the anime I went back to my original thinking of him being an ass, but still loved him. It's a bit confusing, but I see where you're coming from. And I can tell you that Kiyotaka definitely won't treat Eyes like Chase did...it'll lean more towards how Kanone treated him, but not really like that either. And his time with Kanone (as you will see in this chapter) made Eyes a little more confident in himself and will bring him closer to being his old self. I can use all fo your suggestions as well (hopefully). Thanks for reviewing and I hope I do a good job with your suggestions!
Kanone froze at hearing the voice, but quickly shook it off and turned towards the intruder, "Kiyotaka." He said, untangling himself from Eyes' embrace and standing up, though not moving from anywhere other than besides Eyes.
Kiyotaka smirked and then lost all emotion other than jealousy and hatred as he looked upon Eyes, "And who is this?" He asked, the malice in his voice clear and demanding.
"His name is Eyes." Kanone answered, not giving away any more information than neccessary. Kiyotaka might take the boy, but he didn't need to know his life's story. Kanone shivered at the thought of Kiyotaka taking Eyes away. Though, as jealous of any of Kanone's boyfriends as he was, that was a very likely outcome of this little visit.
"I don't care about his name." Kiyotaka replied, calmly, "The only thing that I care about is the fact that he was all over you. Kanone, you know very well how I feel about these types of things. Do you want what happened with little Justin to happen again?" He asked, knowing the answer all too well.
Kanone fell silent after hearing the name, "Justin." He thought, "Why did he have to bring him up?" Justin had been the other one that Kiyotaka had caught Kanone with. The one that Kiyotaka took away and Kanone, to this day, had never seen again. He had been Kanone's first and, save Eyes, only love. He was the reason Kanone had wanted to wait, so that he wouldn't repeat the same mistake. But Kanone had given into temptation, and look what it had gotten him. Kanone glared at Kiyotaka, "Why have you come here? What is it that you want?"
Kiyotaka chuckled, "Well, initially all I wanted was to come and check up on you. I can't count on you to stop by, so I thought I'd just drop by to see how you were. But now," Kiyotaka smirked at Eyes, "I want him."
Eyes looked from Kiyotaka to Kanone, remembering what the latter had told him, "He can't tell Kiyotaka 'no' or else he'll be taken away."
Sure enough, Kanone turned to Eyes, an apologetic look on his face, "I'm sorry..." He whispered, and then turned back towards Kiyotaka. Deisgust and spite etched on his face, "What do you think you will accomplish by doing this? I'll never love you if that's what you're hoping for."
"We've been over this several times, Kanone. If I can't have you, then why should he or anyone else? I've supported you and helped you the most, why does he deserve you?" Kiyotaka sounded bitter towards Eyes, which he was. Kiyotaka was the best at everything he tried, except for Kanone. No matter how much he tried to win him, Kanone was the one prize that he couldn't get his hands on. Of course, this made Kiyotaka all the more obssessed with getting him, though all his efforts so far had obviously failed. He still vowed to get Kanone one day, though he knew his window of opportunity was closing quickly. Kanone's birthday was in a few months, and once he was 18, he didn't have to listen to a word Kiyotaka told him. He would have more than enough money to support himself from his parents, and eventually Kiyotaka would just fade out of his life forever. The latter, obviously, didn't want that. If he was to get Kanone, though, he would need a new plan of attack. Perhaps the boy could help; what did Kanone say his name was? Kiyotaka turned towards the small boy, "Eyes, was it?" Said boy only glared, but Kiyotaka knew he was right, "Well, let's go. Your'e coming with me." Kiyotaka stepped towrads the boy who, in turn, took a step back. He wouldn't go willingly.
Kiyotaka smirked at the defiance, but Kanone just turned towards him, "Eyes, I know it'll be hard, but just go with him." Kanone didn't want to say these words, but knew that the more Eyes resisted now, the harder it would be on him later.
"But, Kanone..." Eyes started to object, but was cut off by said boy.
"Eyes, don't argue with me, you know how much I hate that." Kanone interrupted, though his voice was soft and full of regret, "Just go with him, it'll be okay. Our paths may seperate now, and never intertwine again for several years. I know, though, that when they end, we will be together again. I believe that we will be together in the end, and you have to as well." At the end of his little speech he hugged Eyes and kissed him softly, not caring that an enraged Kiyotaka was watching.
As they pulled apart, Eyes heard Kanone whisper that phrase that had started all of this, "I love you, too." He replied, and was then jerked by his arm away from Kanone by Kiyotaka. Eyes glared at him, but made no move to pull away, Kiyotaka was a lot stronger than him.
Eyes was yanked out of the house and down the road by a very pissed older man, "Did he honestly think he would get away with this?" Kiyotaka asked no one in particular. Eyes said nothing, there was no reason to talk to this man. Though in the old days he would have tried to keep up with Kiyotaka and would have his sights fixated on the ground, Eyes now walked at his own pace (or as much as possible seeing as how Kiyotaka was pulling him along) and kept his head up. In the brief time that he had been with Kanone, Eyes had learned that not everything was his fault and that just because something was blamed on him did not mean that it was his fault or that he needed to apologize for it. Seeing as how he had been apologizing all his life for things that he couldn't possibly have helped, Eyes started to hate the phrase 'I'm sorry' and vowed to use it as little as possible in the future. Besides, other than Kanone, Eyes had never met anyone worthy of an apology.
When they finally arrived at Kiyotaka's house only a few mintues later, Eyes surveyed it. It wasn't as nice as Kanone's, but looked cleaner than Chase's. If he had to, Eyes could live here, but only as long as he kept Kanone's words in his head "We will meet up again someday. Kanone, I believe you."
As if knowing that Eyes was thinking about his obssession (like he would be thinking about anything else, right?) Kiyotaka turned to him, "I've got a few rules around here that are not to be broken, understand?"
Eyes glared now, when before he would have nodded, "Like what?" He asked, almost sarcastically, though not quite; Eyes still couldn't pull of sarcasm, and just glared at people who used it.
"Like back talking and rudeness." Kiyotaka shot back. Eyes said no more, but Kiyotaka continued, "I also don't allow people to slack off. I don't know what you might have gotten away with before you came here, but it won't happen anymore."
"No wonder Kanone hates you." Eyes thought, but did not voice his opinion, he didn't need Kiyotaka pissed at him already.
"That's basically everything, any questions?" Eyes just shook his head and Kiyotaka opened the front door. As he stepped in, Eyes found that he was right in his assumptions about the house. The main entrance wasn't too bad, but the only decent thing Eyes could find about it was that it had a welcoming feel to it. It wasn't cold and didn't at all reflect the personality of its owner, "Oh, and take off your shoes." Kiyotaka said, glancing over to see that Eyes had already done so. He smirked at this, "Good boy." Eyes glared at the words, it sounded too much like he was talking to a dog. Kiyotaka walked to the foot of the stairs and motioned for Eyes to follow him, "I might not be the nicest guy, but I'll still let you sleep inside." After being with Kanone, Eyes no longer viewed this as a privilage, and just silently followed Kiyotaka. After they arrived at his room, the older one turned to Eyes, "You don't talk much, do you?"
Eyes glanced at him, "I've nothing to say to you." And it was true, Eyes just wanted to pass the time until he could finally see Kanone again. He didn't know how long that would be, but didn't care, he trusted in Kanone's words and would wait until the end of time if it meant seeing him again.
Kiyotaka chuckled, "I figured as much. Sleep well, I'll wake you up in the morning."
Eyes stared, a little confused, if Kiyotaka didn't like slackers, then why would he wake Eyes up? Wouldn't he just expect the boy to get up on his own? Shrugging off the thought, Eyes walked through the door into his new room. It wasn't as cozy as any of the rooms in Kanone's house, but it was still a room. The walls were a medium blue with a silver carpet. the ceiling and blinds were white, and stood out against the dark walls. Kiyotaka definitely wasn't as stylish as Kanone, and the room felt a little awkward to be in. The bed wasn't as comfortable, either. The sheets were rough and the blankets were thin. Eyes realized then that Kanone had spoiled him, and if he had come here after living at Chase's, these same sheets probably would have felt like silk.
Thinking about Kanone made Eyes a little sad, when would the two see each other again? Would Kanone come here to visit him, making up some excuse about wanting to see Kiyotaka? Or would he come here in two and a half months on his birthday, and take Eyes back? Kiyotaka had offered Kanone no money for the boy, so technically he was still Kanone's, but that didn't mean that Kiyotaka wouldn't ask for some in return for Eyes. That brought up yet more questions, like would Kanone pay to have him back? If so, how much? How much would Kiyotaka ask for, if anything? All this thinking hurt Eyes' head, so he decided to get some rest while he could, he was still exhausted from the events of today.
Early the next morning, Kiyotaka knocked on Eyes' door. Despite not having to get up until 8 at Kanone's, Eyes had always woken up at at least 6, much to the dismay of the older boy. Now, however, this came in handy as Kiyotaka was up and ready for the day at 6:15, "Eyes, get up." Came the order. Eyes sighed, this wasn't going to be fun. He had started to get use to life at Kanone's and missed him desperately, but now was not the time for that. He got up and walked to the door, still in his clothes from yesterday, seeing as how he didn't have any others. Actually he had no clothes at all, he always just wore Kanone's. Opening the door, he came face to face with a slightly cheerier Kiyotaka, only slightly though. Eyes stared, waiting for Kiyotaka to speak, "Oh, good, you're already awake. Breakfast is ready and then I have a bit of a suprise for you." Kiyotaka gave him a smirk that sent chills down Eyes' spine, letting him know that this really wasn't going to be fun.
Oh and how little does he know. It won't be pleasant...hehehe, can anyone guess what I have up my sleeve? And despite what you may think after reading the next chapter, I am not trying to copy anyone's ideas. So, sorry if it seems that way! A couple more notes/ questions: I'm not really sure how old Kiyotaka is in this, around 23, I guess; does that sound right? And also, did you all want Ayumu, Hiyono, and the rest of the Blade Children in here? If I put them in, it will be minor roles, but they'll be there nonetheless. And lastly, I just got myslef a job! Well, actually my mom got myself a job at her work, but it's money! Whoo! Hehehe, review!
