I have nothing to rant about today, it's amazing! Well, on with the story I guess...

CeTe:Evil? Moi? Never...well, maybe a little...Am I obssessed with cliffhangers, you ask? Yes, of course I am, very good! And would I ever hurt Kanone? Oh wait, that was a dumb question, too, of course I would. But I always make everything better, don't I? But for the sake of you not being mad at me, I'll make him okay. Thanks for reviewing!

alpha2nd: I realize that I haven't exactly put any EyesKiyotaka in here, but like I said, this went in a totally different direction than what I had originally planned. But I could still throw something in there, if I must. I wouldn't want to let down anyone who might be reading this just because I stuck that pairing up there (you know who you are!). I'm not sure exactly when this fic will end since I haven't actually planned out the events in each chapter yet, and you know how I am. Oneshots become 40 chapter fics... so who knows how long this will actually continue? Thanks for reviewing!

And for any EyesKiyotaka fans that might be reading this, if something's gonna happen with those two, it'll probably be in either this chappy or the next, so just be patient! I know I can drag things on, but I'll get to it eventually!

Ayumu glanced up as Eyes walked through the door, "Hey, Eyes, how was school?" He asked, though Eyes could immediately tell he was hiding something. It was that kind of 'what's up' question that people always asked when they were trying to avoid other questions that might lead to the giving away of information. In this case, the whereabouts of Eyes' boyfriend.

Of course, Eyes was never one for small talk, "Where's Kanone?" He asked, knowing that if the older boy was the reason that Kiyotaka went to the hospital, then Ayumu would know about it.

"What are you talking about?" Ayumu asked, trying to act oblivious, "Didn't you see him at school today?" Eyes and the others had been hesitant about telling Ayumu their plan, but gave out in the end; he would have figured it out anyway and they didn't want him telling Kiyotaka.

"No, I didn't." Eyes answered, bitterly. Why was Ayumu avoiding the question? Did he know something? Of course he did, "Why did Kiyotaka go to the hospital?"

Ayumu sighed, looking down, "I...I don't know all of the details." Ayumu started to confess, "I just know that he went there to see Kanone. He told me not to tell you, but I think that Kanone really needs you right now. Kiyotaka looked pretty worried, and that almost never happens."

That only left one problem. How was Eyes was going to get to the hospital, in and out of Kanone's room, and back to the house without Kiyotaka neither seeing him at the hospital nor noticing that he was missing? The answer was he couldn't. It would be impossible to even get there; the driver had been ordered to not take Eyes anywhere unless he first went over it with Kiyotaka. Seeing as how Eyes was trying to avoid Kiyotaka, that wouldn't work at all. Eyes' only option was to wait for Kanone to return, but how long would that be? Eyes sighed, he had gotten so excited about tomorrow that he had gotten his hopes up, something he vowed to never do. Whenever a good thing looked like it was going to happen to Eyes, something or someone always managed to ruin it and snatch away any possibility of happiness. Kanone had been that good thing, and Kiyotaka had been the thing to ruin it.

Eyes looked to Ayumu, silently asking for help or guidance. Even a suggestion would help now, and Ayumu thought of one, "I could get the driver to take us both there." He offered, "Kiyotaka only ordered him not to take you anywhere, but he never said anything about both of us."

Eyes considered this, thinking it could work. Of course, love makes you blind, so Eyes couldn't see the foolishness of the plan, "Alright, but what if Kiyotaka sees us there?"

"Kanone and I used to be close friends before Kiyotaka grew jealous of how close we were and threatened to expose my sexualitiy to the public. I could still say that I was worried about him, though, and wanted to see him. Kiyotaka couldn't have a problem with that."

Eyes did a bit of a double take to learn that Ayumu was gay, but moved on quickly; it's not like he could complain, "He might not have a problem that you are there, but what about me? We both know that Kiyotaka wants me as far away from Kanone as possible."

Ayumu considered this, "If you don't want to take the chance to see Kanone, then that's fine by me." He said, knowing that Eyes was all too right. Eyes simply shook his head, he wanted to make sure Kanone was all right. Ayumu grinned, "Then let's go." The brown haired boy led the other to the door, and opened it... to come face to face with his brother, "Kiyotaka." Ayumu said, both shocked and disappointed, "You're back already?"

Kiyotaka looked from Ayumu to Eyes, "Yes, I am. And where were you two going in such a hurry?"

Ayumu attempted to answer, but no words came. He couldn't just lie to Kiyotaka, the older brother would see right through him. It was Eyes who answered, "What happened to Kanone?" He asked, all confidence that he could muster up going into that one little outburst.

Kiyotaka glared at Ayumu and then the boy himself, "And how do you know that anything is wrong with him?" He asked, knowing that he could trick him into confessing what he had already assumed.

Eyes was too smart to fall for a trick like that, though the detective apparently wasn't, "How stupid do you think he is?" Ayumu asked, coming to Eyes' defense and ruining him at the same time, "First Kanone doesn't show up at his school, then you aren't there to pick him up..." Just then what he had said registered to Ayumu. Whoops, nice going, detective.

"And why would Kanone be at Eyes' school, I wonder?" Kiyotaka asked, upset. Even though he already suspected of Eyes seeing Kanone, he wouldn't have guessed that it was a regular thing and that Ayumu was in on it as well.

Ayumu just stared, not believing that he could have slipped up that badly. Not wanting to talk again, he just looked down, "Sorry, Eyes." He whispered.

Kiyotaka smirked, "My own brother plotting against me? That's a bit shameful." He looked to Eyes, "Follow me." Kiyotaka walked up the stairs to his bedroom with Eyes in tow, not daring to disobey Kiyotaka at a time like this. Once they were in the security of Kiyotaka's (locked) room, said man turned to the younger one, "So, you've been seeing him behind my back." It wasn't a question, more of a demand for information.

Eyes only nodded at first, not wanting to upset Kiyotaka anymore. Then realizing that he didn't care if the other was upset, Eyes looked up, "Of course I have. What did you expect? That you would take me away and then that would be it? I don't know what you've done in the past to keep others away from him, but it won't work with me." Eyes had this newfound courage that he so desperately wanted to hang onto. Then he realized that he didn't need to worry about losing it; it wasn't courage that made him speak those words, it was love. As long as Eyes loved Kanone, there wasn't anything anyone could do to keep the two apart.

Kiyotaka lost his angry glare and replaced it with a confident smirk, "Are you sure about that? I haven't gone to such...extremes with you as I have the others. Are you sure you can put up with anything for him? Do you love him that much?"

"I love him more than you ever could." Whoops, wrong thing to say. Eyes knew he was asking for it, and he got it. Kiyotaka backhanded him, leaving a red mark to go along with the loud smack that sounded throughout the room. Eyes' head had turned to the side with the force of the assault, and now he turned back to look at Kiyotaka, "No matter what you do to me, it won't make my words any less true. I love Kanone enough for him to be happy, no matter who that is with."

Kiyotaka knew what Eyes meant, Kanone wouldn't be happy with the older one, "But you see, I don't care about Kanone's happiness if it's going to be wasted on scum like you." Eyes simply stared, he had been through much worse physical and verbal abuse than anything that Kiyotaka could summon up. All of a sudden, the older one stepped towards Eyes, smirking when he didn't retreat, "I'll give you one last chance to back out of this." Eyes simply glared, giving him that do-your-worst stare. Kiyotaka smirked, and without another word, leaned down to roughly kiss the smaller boy. Eyes grimaced at the forced contact, but didn't pull away. He had learned from Chase that pulling away only motivated the other. Softening the kiss, and then finally breaking it, Kiyotaka looked at Eyes. He saw the uncertainty of what was to happen in the younger boy's eyes, and smirked, "Don't worry, I'm not like the others. I wouldn't dream of doing something that vulgar." Honestly, Kiyotaka was offended that Eyes thought he would actually rape the younger boy.

Eyes just continued to stare, but now he was a bit confused. If Kiyotaka wasn't going to rape him, then what was he going to do to him? Eyes had considered that Kiyotaka would find some sort of loophole in his words, and use that. This thought quickly vanished as Kiyotaka kissed him again, gently this time. The kiss was almost passionate, almost like Kanone. Eyes couldn't help the small moan that the affection brought up from the back of his throat. Seeing this as a sign that he could go further, Kiyotaka gently pushed his tounge through Eyes' closed lips. Losing himself in the kiss, and thinking of Kanone the entire time, Eyes let Kiyotaka roam his mouth freely.

Finally breaking the kiss due to the fact that all living things needed a certain amount of oxygen to survive, Kiyotaka grinned down at Eyes. The latter simply caught his breath, and stared up at Kiyotaka. It certainly wasn't a look of love, but it wasn't one of disgust either. Eyes honestly didn't know what he was feeling towards the older man. He supposed it was just a certain amount of tolerance; he knew he didn't love Kiyotaka (that was simply proposterous), but he wasn't sure he hated him as much as he had an hour earlier. But what had changed? It wasn't a simple kiss that had swayed his opinion of the older man, was it?

Breaking the silence that had settled, Kiyotaka spoke, "I see you enjoyed that." Eyes couldn't disagree, he had enjoyed the kiss very much, despite whom it was with. Kiyotaka smirked at the lack of objection, "Just wait until Kanone hears about this."

Eyes froze, though he hadn't been moving to begin with. Kiyotaka would tell Kanone, that's why he had done it. He hadn't forced himself on Eyes knowing that if he took a more gentler approach, the boy would accept him. And Eyes had so foolishly done so, and he had betrayed Kanone by doing so. Of course, Kanone would never believe Kiyotaka, figuring it was a lie to get him angry at Eyes. But curiosity would win out eventually, and Kanone would confront Eyes about it, knowing that the boy wouldn't lie to him. And when that time came, Eyes would confess everything. After all, he really couldn't lie to Kanone. It's not so much that he was afraid of what Kanone would do if he found out Eyes had lied to him (though that would be scary), but more that Eyes couldn't stand lying to Kanone. The latter had been so nice, and deserved to know the truth about whatever Eyes had done.

Watching the smirking Kiyotaka saunter out of his room, Eyes sighed. He already knew how everything would play out. Kiyotaka would let him go back to Kanone, after he revealed this fun little fact, of course. Kanone wouldn't believe him, and would be so greatful that he had Eyes back that he would forget about the supposed lie for a while. Eyes, on the other hand, would already know that all of this had happened, and feel extremely guilty because of it. True, he hadn't technically lied to Kanone, but he would let him believe that the truth was a lie. That in itself was the same as lying, and would have the same consequences. As time wore on, Kanone would either realize that Eyes had become distant (which he would have due to his guilt), or remember what Kiyotaka had told him and ask Eyes why he had told such an obvious lie. Either way, Eyes would be confronted and would tell Kanone the truth. The only thing Eyes couldn't figure out was how Kanone would react. Would he be upset because Eyes had enjoyed the kiss, or because he had kept the truth from him? Eyes only knew one thing, this wouldn't turn out for the best.

Wel then maybe he shouldn't have enjoyed that little kiss so much! Oh, wait, I made him do that...hehehehe. Hmmm, is this plot good enough for all of you? I didn't know how to work EyesKiyotaka into the mix without making it look forced and out of place, did it work? I hope so! Well, if it sucks entirely too much, then I could rewrite the entire chapter using the suggestions you give me...but hopefully this is enough to satisfy you all! And I know I haevn't let on what happened to Kanone yet...but there's a reason for that! Can you guess what it is? And also, if my fic isn't enough to satisfy your Spiral needs, go and read Polaris18's fics "like an Angel" and "Obssessions", and review them because they're awesome! Of course, alpha2nd, CeTe, honey bunny boo, and Prosperpina have great fics out too that you should read, but that's just common sense...actually all of them are! Read them all!
