I don't have to leave tonight for anything unless my brother calls. So let's all hope that doesn't happen, and see if I can actually update both of my fics tonight!
CeTe: Nope, I'm just mean when I stick Eyes in a hopsital. Even though, he did get proposed to in one once; that's good...right? Heh, yeah, bad luck...that's it, it's not that I like torturing him...he's just got terrible luck! I do believe that there are naturally good people in this world, but after everything Eyes has been through, could you expect him to believe that? Even though he found Kanone, the poor boy can't have too much hope for people. Oh well, thanks for reviewing!
alpha2nd: Only this one? I torture Eyes any chance I get! I figured that a body guard type job would be the only kind a convicted rapist could get, seeing as how no one would want to mess with them. I was actually going to put a little part in the last chapter about Jack, but I forgot...So he's no one, really except for a ride to the hospital...and maybe more. Perhaps he can help Kousuke find out whether he's gay or not...which only leaves the question of whether he is or not. It would be so much easier to make him so, and if I didn't the only logical person to stick him with would be Ryoko, and I just really don't like that pairing. KousukeRio? Oh, no, bad thought! Sorry...I take that back! Ayumu will be appearing shortly, if not in this chapter, then the next one. You're welcome for the update, thanks for reviewing!
Kodoku Wolf: Heh, I do love to torture that poor boy, he must hate me. Unless he likes it...(dirty thoughts...perhaps Kousuke wasn't too far off with that collar comment...). I don't know...I might put up with all of that to get Kanone out of it...maybe not. I'm not sure...Kanone's a good find, lol! Thanks for reviewing!
nothing important: Of course I can put Ayumu in it. Finally a request I don't have to say no to! I hate telling people no, so I'll get Ayumu in here as quick as logically possible. Like I said, probably next chapter, but maybe this one, who knows? I loved that line, I was suprised that Kanone didn't beat his face in right then and there. (If it seems that I have no control over what the characters do in my fics, it's because I don't...they have a mind of their own, I swear!) Thanks for reviewing, glad you like it!

Kanone, Eyes, and Jack rushed into the hospital lobby. Well, not rushed seeing as how Eyes wasn't really able to walk correctly. Kanone handed his boyfriend off to Jack, who held the boy steady, then led him over to a seat. Kanone walked quickly over to the receptionist, "How can I help you?" The girl behind the counter asked politely, casting worried glances over to Eyes and Jack.
"My boyfriend was supposed to come in for surgery tomorrow morning, but I don't think he can wait that long. I need to see his doctor." Kanone informed the girl, Amanda.
"Ummm, what's the doctor's name?" She asked, grabbing a clipboard.
"Dr.Kist." Kanone replied after a moment of thinking.
Amanda's eyes scanned the clipborard and finally settled about half way down, "Dr. Kist...I'm sorry sir, she's not here. She left this afternoon, I'm not sure why...it just says personal business here. If he needs immediate treatment, we can put him under another doctor's care for the time being..."
Kanone glanced over to Eyes, then back to Amanda, "Alright." He finally agreed.
Amanda nodded, and turned to her computer, "The patient's name?"
"Eyes." Kanone replied.
"Eyes..." Amanda started, looking for a last name.
"He doesn't have a last name." Kanone informed her.
"No last name?" Amanda asked, confused. Then shook her head, and turned back to her computer. A second later she smiled, "This must be him, and you are Kanone Hilbert I assume?" Kanone nodded, "Alright, Dr. Bauer can see him now. Just wait here, and he'll be out in a minute."
Kanone nodded, "Thank you." He rejoined Eyes and Jack.
"Well?" The latter asked, shifting the boy's head from his shoulder to Kanone's.
Eyes stirred slightly and looked to Kanone, "What's going on?"
Kanone smiled, and kissed the top of his head, "Don't worry, we're taking care of you." This satisfied the boy, and he layed his head back down. Kanone looked to Jack, "His doctor isn't here right now, but they're finding someone else to look at him for now."
"This is a bit of an emergency, can't they call his doctor?" Jack asked, a bit annoyed.
Kanone shook his head, "The receptionist said that she left earlier today due to personal reasons."
Jack sighed, and looked down to Eyes, "This poor boy, what did he do to deserve this?"
Kanone laughed, "You think this is bad? You should have seen him when I first got him."
Jack looked up at Kanone at this, "Got him?" He asked, confused. Kanone nodded, then realized that Jack must not know the whole truth about Eyes. Why should he, he only met the boy tonight. Jack, forunately, was pretty bright, at least when it came to common sense, "He's your slave?" Jack asked, now a bit bewildered.
Kanone glared a bit at the term, "He's not a slave." He snapped.
Jack recoiled a little at the outburst, "Hey, I didn't mean anything by it, but if he's not a slave, then what did you mean by 'got him'?"
Kanone sighed as he looked down at Eyes, "He used to be." Kanone confessed, "He's not anymore; after I bought him, I granted him as much freedom as I legally could."
Jack nodded in understanding, "You're a really good person, you know that?"
Kanone chuckled a little bit, "I don't know about that, I'm not perfect."
Eyes stirred a bit, and looked up to Kanone, "Of course you are." He said, sleepily, then snuggled back into Kanone's arms.
Kanone smirked at the boy, "To each his own." He commented.
"Eyes?" A voice was heard from the opposite side of the waiting room. Kanone looked up to see a middle aged man with dark brown hair, and a mustache and beard in the same color brown. As the two made eye contact, the man walked over to the three, "Hello, my name is Dr. Bauer."
Kanone smiled slightly at the doctor, "Hello, I'm Kanone, this here is Eyes," Kanone rubbed said boy's shoulder and got a weak glance up from the silver haired one, "and this is Jack." Kanone finished the introductions.
Jack stood up, and offered his hand to Dr. Bauer, "It's a pleasure to meet you." He said, shaking the doctor's hand.
"It's nice to meet you, too, Jack." Dr. Bauer said, "Were you here the last time?" He asked, flipping through a folder that had all the information that Dr. Kist had written down about Eyes, looking for Jack's name.
"No, I actually just met these two tonight." Jack confessed, "They needed a ride, so I gave them one." He then turned to Kanone, "Actually, if you don't need me here anymore, I can leave. I don't want to get in the way, and I know this is personal."
Kanone shook his head, moving Eyes to the next seat over, and standing up, "Nonesense, Jack. I won't keep you if you have more important matters to attend to, but you have every right to be here."
Jack nodded, "Alright, then. If no one has any objections, I'll stay."
Kanone smiled, and Dr. Bauder looked to Jack, "I have no objections, but I'm afriad that I need to speak with Kanone and Eyes in private right now." Jack nodded again, and sat back down.
Kanone turned to Eyes, "Come on, Eyes, let's go." Eyes looked up to Kanone, and shakily stood up. Wincing a little at the fresh pain that he had forgotten, Eyes finally signaled that he was ready by grabbing Kanone's hand. Kanone tightened the grip, "You okay?" Eyes nodded in response and looked to Dr. Bauer, warily. He hadn't even gotten totally comfortable around Dr. Kist, and now there was another one?
Dr. Bauer simled at Eyes, "Hello, Eyes, my name is Dr. Bauer."
Eyes glared, "I heard you earlier." He informed the man. Honestly, did the older one think he was stupid?
Dr. Bauer lost his smile, but soon regained it, "Of course you did, how foolish of me." Eyes glared at the man, still feeling like he was being talked to like a child.
"Shall we go?" Kanone asked, not appreciating the doctor's tone, either. Said man nodded, and led the two back to a private room.
Closing the door, Dr. Bauer turned to face the couple, "Alright, Eyes, I've looked over your case, and it seems that you were scheduled for surgery tomorrow morning?" He looked up, and Kanone nodded in comfirmation, "Okay, so what brings you in early?"
Kanone looked to Eyes, who looked down in turn, "I was worried about him." Kanone confessed, "He had another attack after... something happened." Kanone really didn't know if it was neccessary to tell what had happened to his boyfriend.
"Something happened?" The doctor asked, raising an eyebrow.
Kanone nodded, "Eyes was raped earlier tonight, and it triggered an attack. I just didn't want to wait until tomorrow morning; I wasn't sure he'd be alright."
Dr. Bauer's eyes widened, mostly at the news, but also at the calmness with which Kanone delivered the news; like it had happened before, "Have you informed the police about the incident?"
Kanone scoffed slightly at the term, "No, we were in a bit of a hurry at the time." He said, sarcastically.
The other man nodded, "Of course, but you do plan on reporting whoever did this, correct?"
Kanone glared now, "Of course I do. If you think that I would just let this happen to him, you're a fool."
"I think we're getting off topic, as long as the incident is reported, then it's none of my business. So you brought him in because you wanted the surgery performed tonight instead of the morning?"
Kanone heistated, he hadn't really thought this aspect through very well. He wasn't really sure why he had brought Eyes. Deciding that they were already here, he nodded, "Yes, as soon as possible."
Dr. Bauer flipped through Eyes' folder once more, "It says here that he's been diagnosed with mesothelioma?" Kanone nodded to confirm, "We'll have to keep him overnight, of course. Usually, we don't allow visitors that aren't family members..." The older man glanced up to a very pissed Kanone.
"I'm staying." Kanone informed him, leaving no room for arguement.
"I figured you'd say that." The doctor said, "I suppose I can make an excpetion in your case, but I would like his mother informed as well."
Kanone nodded, "Of course, I need to go home anyway, I'll just bring her back with me." Eyes shifted slightly at hearing that he'd be alone for a while. Kanone wrapped his arms around the smaller boy, "Don't worry, I'll leave only after you go into surgery, and return before you get out."
Eyes was still uncertain, "You promise?" He asked, looking up to Kanone, "I don't want to be here alone." He whispered, so only his boyfriend could hear him.
Kanone leaned down to kiss him quickly, "I know, love. Don't worry, though, I won't leave you alone. You won't even know I'm gone." Eyes finally nodded in agreement, and Kanone turned back to the doctor, "When can you get him in?"
"Let's see...I suppose I could take him now. I'd need a few minutes to set up the equipment, but I have no other appointments for the rest of the night."
Kanone smiled, and turned to Eyes, "Is that okay with you?" Eyes nodded, and clung to Kanone; not wanting to be alone, even if it was in surgery. Kanone turned once more back to the doctor (you think he's getting dizzy yet?), "That sounds wonderful, thank you."
Dr. Bauer nodded, "I'll let you go home now. Eyes, will you come with me?"
Eyes looked to Kanone once more, who wrapped him in a passionate kiss, "Don't worry, you'll be fine. I promise." One more reassuring nod, and Eyes disappeared with the doctor.
After what felt like forever, Jack finally saw Kanone reappear...alone, "Where's Eyes?" He asked, only slightly worried since Kanone didn't seem that concerned.
"He's in surgery now. I don't suppose it would be too out of your way to drop me off at my house?" He asked, hopefully.
"Not at all, where do you live?" Jack asked, grabbing his jacket.
Kanone followed suit, "About 10 minutes from here, just outside of town."
Jack nodded, "Then let's go."

Joy, yet another chapter finished. Do you remember when I said I was going to end this at Christmas? And how Christmas was, like, 4 or 5 chapters ago? Heh, this is turning into another HoTwB fic...sigh...oh well, hope you liked it, reivew! Oh, and guess what? My brother called...so I don't think I can update Trust tonight. At least I finally got to the hospital in this one! Also, I'll try to make the next chappy of Trust a bit longer, since my last few have been kind of short.
