Okay, time to relieve your stress over what is wrong with our dear Eyes. Is he dead? Is it worse than they thought? Is the doctor just an ass and is messing with them? Who knows? Heh, enjoy! Oh, also for all of my wonderful fans, I'm going to start co-writing The Power of Music by CeTe. If you haven't read it, then go and do that . Hopefully, I'll have the 5th chappy up sometime this weekend! Enjoy!

alpha2nd: Wow, really? That is weird. Heh, you'll just have to read to find out Jack's deal. I can tell you that he's not a spy for Kiyotaka, and Kiyotaka had nothing to do with the incident at the club. Yes, poor Callia; though, she could be a little more greatful. If it weren't for Kanone, she'd never had seen Eyes again, and Eyes would probably be dead. Yes, Ayumu is back by popular demand! Lol, you do kind of sound like yoda, but that's alright; yoda's the shit! (and star wars rocks, anyone who says differently should go kill themselves! Okay, not really...) Lol, did I promise? Hmmm...whoops. J/k, Eyes isn't dead. You're welcome for the update, thanks for reviewing!

CeTe: Yep, me and my cliffhangers. Oh...no heart attacks allowed! Don't worry, no crying and wailing today...well, not from this fic, anyway. Heh, my relationship problem is so messed up...I won't get into it, though; thanks for caring, though. Thanks for reviewing, too!

No one said anything for a minute, the four of them (Kanone, Callia, Ayumu, and Bauer) just stood there, looking at each other. Kanone and Callia's minds were racing with horrible possibilities of why Eyes wasn't in the room with them. Finally, the doctor spoke, "Mr. Hilbert, and you are Eyes' mother, I presume?" Callia nodded, waiting for the man to continue. He ignored Ayumu for the most part, and turned back to Kanone, "I'm afraid I have a bit of bad news."

"He's...alright, isn't he?" Kanone asked, he'd never forgive himself if something happened to Eyes.

"I suppose that depends on your opinion of alright. The surgery was a success, we got most of the tumor as planned. He'll need to come back in for a follow up at a later date, but that's not what's bothering me."

Kanone swallowed hard, "What is it?"

Bauer hesitated, "Some things Eyes said that disturbed me. He said that someone raped him recently, you wouldn't know anything about that, would you?" He asked, glaring a little at Kanone.

Kanone and Callia both visibly relaxed at this, "I'm aware of what happened, it's none of your business." Kanone informed him. Callia nodded in agreement. Ayumu was shocked at hearing this. He knew about Chase, but that couldn't be considered recent. He kept quiet, though, knowing that Kanone would explain later.

"Officially, it is my business to report these types of things." The doctor told him, "Do you know who did it?"

"It's being taken care of." Kanone said, now annoyed, "Like I said, it's none of your business."

"You're acting quite suspicious, and you have yet to give me a name. That can only lead me to believe that you had something to do with it."

Kanone laughed at this, "You honestly think that I raped my boyfriend?" Dr. Bauer just looked at him with a seriouis look on his face, finding nothing amusing about this. Kanone soon got serious as well, "I don't tolerate people accusing me of things that I most certainly didn't do. You can ask anyone you want, I would never do that."

"Kanone didn't do it." Callia interjected now, "He's too nice of a person, and he loves Eyes too much to ever hurt him."

"There's no way it could have been Kanone." Ayumu agreed. He didn't know anything of the situation, but knew that it wasn't Kanone...no way.

"Where's Eyes?" Kanone asked, now getting very irritated, "Ask him if you have to, he won't lie to you."

"Of course he wouldn't confess, he's probably too afraid." The doctor said, glaring at Kanone once again.

Kanone glared right back, and took a step foward, "If you don't let me see my boyfriend right this second, you're going to have a lot more to worry about then him being afraid to talk."

"That sounded like a cnofession to me."

That was the last straw. Kanone grabbed the doctor by his neck, which caused him to drop his papers and grab onto the assaulting arm, "Where is he?" Kanone growled, fed up with the man in front of him.

"Kanone?" A voice was heard from the doorway.

Said boy immediately released the frightened doctor, and spun around to see Eyes standing there, a coffee cup in his hand. Kanone ran over to him, and Eyes handed the cup to his mother so that it wouldn't be squished in between the two bodies. Kanone wrapped his arms around the small boy in a tight hug, "Eyes." He whispered, "Are you alright?"

Eyes whimpered, "Kanone...you're hurting me."

Kanone immediately released the other one, and stepped back with wide eyes, "What's wrong?" Eyes was grabbing his chest and breathing heavy. Kanone placed a hand on his shoulder, "Eyes?"

"He's still sore from the surgery." The doctor informed him. He had gathered his papers up after Kanone released him, and was now regaining his calm composure.

Kanone growled at the man, "Thank you, doctor. If you're done, you can leave." It wasn't an option, it was a demand. Since the man valued his life, he nodded and quickly exited the room. Kanone put on a gentler look, and turned back to Eyes, "Are you okay?"

Eyes had steadied his breathing, and nodded, "I'm fine." He let Kanone lead him back to the bed, and then turned his attention to the others in the room, "Mother?" He asked, slightly suprised to see her there. Ayumu was an even bigger shock, "When did you two get here?"

"We came back with Kanone." Callia told him, "Ayumu gave us a ride." She walked over, and ran her hand through her son's silver hair, "How are you feeling?"

"I'm fine." Eyes told her, only slightly annoyed that she couldn't reach that conclusion from what he told Kanone; which was that he was fine. He just chalked it up to her being his mother, and that meant she had to worry about him and ask the same question 15 different ways, "How are you?"

"Much better now that I know you're okay." She responded, and smile at him.

He returned the smile slightly and looked back to Kanone, "When can I leave?" He asked, "I don't like this place." Ever since he had been here, he had had a bad feeling about it. Sure, the surgeries would make him better, but the place itself just wasn't pleasant to be in.

Kanone smiled, "We can go anytime you want." He said, kissing the top of Eyes' head, "I just need to get the papers to have you released." Eyes nodded, and silently told Kanone to do that...now. The latter took the hint, "Which I'll go do."

Once Kanone was out of the room, Callia and Ayumu both turned to Eyes, the same question on both of their minds. Neither of them wanted to suspect Kanone of hurting the boy, and neither really did so. However, he hadn't told them the whole story of what happened at the club, and he was being awfully evasive of the doctor's questions. His behavior could only leave one to believe that he had something to hide. Finally, Callia took the plunge, "Eyes, dear?"

Eyes looked to his mother, "Yes?"

Callia hesitated, not sure how to approach the subject, "Eyes, what happened earlier, at the club?"

Eyes looked down at the mention of earlier, "I...don't want to talk about it right now." He said.

This aroused even more suspicion from Callia, "Honey, Kanone didn't do it...did he?"

Eyes' head snapped up in a glare, "What? How could you say something like that? Of course Kanone didn't do it, he was the one who found me."

"You're positive?" Ayumu asked.

"Of course I am. Why would you even suspect Kanone?" He asked, horrified that the two would even consider such a thing.

"He was just acting very...evasive of all our questions, like he was hiding something." Callia explained, "I, honestly, would never suspect him of anything like this, but I just wanted to make sure."

"Well, he didn't do it. Get those thoughts out of your head right now." Callia and Ayumu nodded as they did just that.

Kanone returned shortly after, smiling, "You're all ready to go." He told Eyes, who jumped out of bed at hearing this, "You're sure you're okay to walk?"

Eyes nodded, and quickly joined Kanone, grabbing his hand, "Can we go, now?"

Kanone looked briefly to Callia and Ayumu, "Is everything okay?" He asked them, sensing the tension in the room.

"It's fine." Eyes answered for them, "Let's just go."

"Alright." Kanone agreed, though his suspicion was growing with every passing second.

"I'm suprised that they didn't make Eyes stay overnight." Ayumu said, trying to change the subject.

Kanone nodded, "I was suprised, too, but they said that he would be better off in a place he felt comfortable in."

"Wait a minute." Eyes said, stopping suddenly.

"What is it?" Callia asked, concerned.

Kanone mirrored that concern, "Is everything okay?"

"Didn't Jack say he would by in the morning to visit me?"

Kanone understood; when Jack arrived at the hospital, he'd be visiting an empty bed, "I don't know where he lives, or anyway to contact him."

"Did he say when he'd be by?" Ayumu asked.

Kanone shook his head, "Just that he'd be by sometime tomorrow morning." Then he smiled, "Jack seems like a bright enough boy. I'm sure he'll find out that we went home, he'll probably just stop by the house." With that conclusion reached, the four headed home.

Yay, I didn't kill Eyes! Heh, did I have you all worried? Hmmm, let's hope Jack is as smart as Kanone gives him credit for! Oh, and next chappy, Eyes and Kanone will get a visitor! Can you guess who it is? If you do, you get the satisfaction of being psychic! Aw, hell, you can have a cookie, too. Wait, even better; I'll give you a brownie! Review!
