Sorry for the wait, but I'm all better now! Well, not all better, but better enough to write another chappy. Enjoy!

freya kurenai: Yep, Chase has Eyes once again, but don't worry; Kanone'll get him back one way or another! Well, sort of... Of course I'll review the fic, is it going to be a spiral one? Heh, I was very suprised at the honor roll thing, thanks! Yes, the plot thickens quite often, and as for it ending...who knows when or how that'll be? Thanks for reviewing!

CeTe: Yep, Jack's just this side of awesome. Lol, I never balmed you, only thanked you! Chase is the only one to blame for being an ass, I'm only saying that you're where the idea come from. Oh, and things went horrible with my friend. I think I stopped crying long enough to update Trust yesterday, but that's about it. I actually got sick, too. The worst part is she acts like nothing happened. Heh, hopefully you'll do better this quarter! Thanks for reviewing!

Tears were streaming down his perfect face, which had been bruised again in his short time back at Chase's. The vile man had yet to do anything too horrible, only hit him a couple times for no reason that Eyes could see. Still, it didn't help that he was alone here. No one had ever liked him here, they all thought he was dirty for what he supposedly let Chase do to him; they acted like he had a choice in the matter. He was alone now, though, and he finally broke down crying. It had been too long since he last cried, and all of his pain that had he had gathered through the years was now pouring out through the salty water. It had all been too much, and Eyes could only hope that Chase wouldn't see him like this. He didn't want to think of what he would do if he did, so Eyes forced himself to stop crying, not wanting to chance it.

Soon, the door opened to the small shack that he had been thrown in. Eyes didn't know why Chase had put him in here, but was glad that he hadn't been forced to do any strenous work yet. Kanone had definitely spoiled him, and Eyes wasn't sure he was up to working as hard as he used to. Besides, if he was hit too much, Eyes was afraid that he might go into one of his fits. Kanone had told him that he wouldn't since he'd had the surgery, but there was always a chance that it would happen. It would be just Eyes' luck that it would happen, too.

Finally, the silver haired boy looked up to face the man he hated more than anything, and was suprised to see someone else instead. Someone he knew, someone he really didn't want to face in a situation like this, "Mike." Eyes whispered.

Said boy glared at Eyes, "Did I say you could talk?" He snapped, "Seeing as how it was your fault that I was thrown into this hell hole, I decided to take it out on you." What Mike didn't tell Eyes was that he actually had it pretty good here. One way or another, Chase had figured out why Mike was sent here, and admired the man for it. Mike had become Chase's favorite quick enough, and was free to do what he wished with the slaves here, "Now then, I think you should provide me with what you deprived me of back at Kanone's." Eyes looked at him with wide eyes, he couldn't be serious. Mike chuckled, "Remember, it won't matter if you scream, so go ahead." He told Eyes as he approached the frightened boy. Eyes soon decided that he wouldn't put up with this anymore, though, and knew that he could stop Mike. As the older man reached for him, Eyes quickly jumped up and out of reach. Mike growled at him, "What the hell do you think you're doing? Get back here!" He yelled.

Eyes shook his head, "No." He replied.

Mike laughed, "No?" He asked, approaching the boy once again.

"That's what I said." Eyes informed him. He didn't know where this burst of energy came from, but whenever he saw Mike, all he could think of was Jeremy. He remembered how scared the younger boy had been when Eyes found them, and knew that he was once like that. He refused to become like that again, and refused to let anyone touch him, especially the man before him. In Eyes' opinion, this man deserved nothing but pain, which is exactly what Eyes would give him.

Mike's evil smile turned into an annoyed frown, "You can't tell me 'no'." He said, "What if I told Chase about this? Do you think he would take it lightly?" He threatened.

Eyes hesitated, he hadn't considered that Mike and Chase might be on good terms. Now that he thought about it, though, the two had very similar personalities, and might get along perfectly. Chase seemed to like people that were exactly like him, and as far as Eyes could tell, Mike fit that description perfectly. Still, "I'll deal with Chase, then." A threat alone wouldn't be enough to get Eyes to back down.

Mike glared, "Fine, but you'll be sorry." Eyes simply stared at Mike as he exited the shack. Once he was alone again, Eyesa slumped back down onto the floor, not looking foward to seeing Chase again.

Kanone was sitting in the passanger seat of Jack's car, tapping his foot impatiently. No matter how fast the car went, it wouldn't be fast enough for him; he wanted to see Eyes now. Seeing as how it was almost an hour drive (even with Jack speeding), Kanone had no choice but to wait. Sighing for about the millionth time, Kanone felt the back of his seat being kicked, "Stop sighing like that, it's getting really annoying." Kousuke told him.

A slap was heard, "Kousuke, leave him alone." Ryoko said.

"Yeah," Rio joined in, "he's just worried about Eyes."

"I'm worried, too, but I'm not being annoying about it!" Kousuke defended himself.

"You're always annoying." Ayumu pointed out. Rio and Ryoko both agreed, which made Kousuke sigh.

Kanone grinned as he heard Ryoko kick him, "Stop sighing." She said. The redhead was about to complain, but decided against it, it would have done him no good anyway.

Kanone refrianed from sighing, and simply looked out the window. It was starting to rain, and he watched the raindrops slide down the glass. He always felt at peace when it was raining, but now he couldn't stop his thoughts from running around in his head, "Eyes." He thought, "Just hold on. Please hold on, I need you." He cursed himself for being so careless. If he'd just told Eyes to ignore the door, or if he himself had answered it, maybe this all would have turned out differently. He couldn't waste time thinking about what could have been, and instead needed to concentrate on what was happening. Unfortunately, for the next 45 minutes, the only thing that would be happening was driving and the occasional arguement between Rio and Kousuke, or Ryoko and Kousuke. Probably even Ayumu and Kousuke eventually.

Jack looked to Kanone out of the corner of his eye, "How are you holding up?" He asked.

Kanone was stirred from his thoughts by this question, and looked to Jack, "I'll feel better once we get there." He replied. Jack nodded in understanding, and didn't bring the subject up again for the rest of the ride; no one did.

Eyes was still in his little shack, waiting for the angered Chase to come through the door. He knew that the man wouldn't want to be bugged by such an inconvienence at this hour, which was all Eyes thought he had ever been; an inconvenience. So, why exactly did Chase come back for him? Certainly he could have found someone else to abuse, and from the looks of the others, he had. Eyes couldn't figure out why Chase took him, but he was certain that it wasn't good.

Finally, Chase arrived, looking very annoyed. Eyes smirked, this man was too easy to read. Approaching the silver haired boy, Chase girnned, "Making trouble already, are you?"

Eyes looked up to him, "You asked for it." He replied, no longer afraid of this man.

"What was that, boy?" Chase asked, "It seems you've forgotten your manners since I last saw you."

"No, I've just gained some self respect since the last time I saw you." Eyes corrected him, standing up, "And my name isn't 'boy'."

Chase was dumbfounded by this, "Do you think this kind of attitude is going to get you..."

"I don't really care where I get around here." Eyes cut him off, "Kanone will be back for me soon enough. Don't think that you'll get away with this because you won't."

Chase laughed, "I won't get away with this? I've been getting away with this before I even had the unfortunate mistake of finding you."

This angered Eyes, "If it was so unfortunate meeting me, then why did you come back for me?" He asked, "If you despise me that much, wouldn't you be better off without me?"

"That is a bit disturbing." Chase commented, "I just can't find someone quite as good as you, though, so I was willing to put that aside."

"You were willing to put aside your disgust towards me so that you could rape me again?" Eyes asked. If Chase answered this question in the affirmative, Eyes ddin't know what he was going to do.

And that's just what he did, "Yes, though when you put it that way, it makes me sound a bit...what's the word?"

"Disgusting." Eyes filled in the blank, "A hypocrite, perverted, a horrible person, stop me at any time."

"I'll stop you." Chase said, threateningly.

Eyes looked back to Chase, "That's not the real reason why you took me, though, is it?"

"What other reason would I have?" Chase asked, though he had a feeling the boy was right.

Eyes shrugged, "I don't know or care. I won't be here long enough to find out, and I really don't need to."

"You think I'm going to just give you back to Kanone?" Chase asked, laughing.

"You're not the one that concerns me." Eyes informed him, "Kanone will find a way around this, and you won't have a choice."

"Why would he go to all this trouble for a slave?" Chase asked, "What makes you think that you're worth all of this?"

Eyes smirked, "Because I know Kanone loves me. He's gone through a lot more for me, and this will be no different. Whether or not I'm deserving of this is not your concern, and your opinon on the matter doesn't concern me at all." Eyes informed Chase, "Oh, and I'm not Kanone's slave, so stop adressing me as one."

Chase was the one to smirk now, "Regardless of how Kanone treats you, you are still his slave. It seems that you're taking his kindness for granted."

That comment sent Eyes over the edge. Just the sight of Chase was enough to almost push him over, and when the man talked, it was difficult to keep his cool. That last remark, though, had been the breaking point, and Eyes did something he never thought he would. He slapped Chase, "Don't you ever say that I take Kanone for granted." He said, "I'll never do such a thing, and what I said was the truth. I'm not Kanone's slave. I'm his boyfriend, nothing more, nothing less." Eyes suddenly wondered if that really was all he was to Kanone, then decided that it couldn't be. Kanone wouldn't do all of this for someone he only liked, though exactly what Eyes was to Kanone, the former didn't know.

Chase was shocked that the boy had done such a rash thing. Amazingly, though, he wasn't angered as much as he thought he would be. In the past, he would have beaten the boy's face in for even thinking of doing such a thing, but something had changed about him. Chase almost respected the boy now, almost being the operative word. Still, maybe there was more to this boy than he though. The one thing that scared him the most was why he cared if there was more to Eyes than Chase originally thought. Of course, a lot about this boy confused and amazed him, "What's your name, boy?" Chase asked.

Eyes was expecting to be hit for his actions, but instead Chase was asking his name? He had to be up to something, Eyes decided, but as long as he was going to be civil, Eyes wasn't about to try and anger him, "Eyes." He replied.

Chase looked at him, "Eyes? What kind of name is that?"

Said boy shrugged, "I like it." He defended the name.

"I just bet you do." Chase muttered, wondering what kind of person would possibl give him that name. Though, it did make some sort of sense giving that the his eyes were quite attention grabbing. Was a striking feature really grounds for a name, though? Chase sighed, "Now, I just need to figure out what to do with you."

Eyes didn't like the sound of that, "How about you let me go?" He suggested, knowing there was no way that would happen. Still, it couldn't hurt to try.

"I'm not letting you go." Chase told him, killing any hope of that ever happening.

"Then what do you want with me?" Eyes asked, remembering that he had never gotten a straight answer out of Chase.

Chase didn't really know what he wanted with Eyes, he just knew that he wanted the younger one back, and Chase always got what he wanted. So he just shook his head, "I'll let you know when I find out." He said. Eyes looked at him warily, wondering what exactly Chase had planned for him, "Come on." Chase ordered, walking outside. Eyes followed behind, not wanting to stay in that crappy shack any longer than he had to.

"Hey, Chase!" Mike called from the house.

"What?" Chase asked, only slightly annoyed at the utter lack of respect that Mike showed. After all, he had told the man that he didn't need to call him 'Master' or anything like that; the only one in the history of forever that had gotten that privilage.

"A guy stopped by here a few minutes ago saying that some deal didn't go through." Mike said, relaying the message that he had gotten, "I think he said his name was...Bradley?"

Chase recognized the name, and knew exactly what deal he was talking about, "Shit! You better not be messing with me!" Chase threatened.

"Mess with you?" Mike chuckled, "I would never do such a thing, you know that."

Chase sighed and nodded, he knew Mike was smarter than to do that, "I'll deal with that later." He said, mostly to himself.

"What's with the kid?" Mike asked, coming out to join the two.

"Hmm? Oh, I'm not really sure." Chase answered, still mulling over what to do with that damn deal, "I'll deal with it later." Chase told himself once more.

"Well, if you're done with him, mind if I take him?" Mike asked, hopefully.

"Damn, I'm going to worry about this until I get it taken care of." Chase thought. He walked past Mike, barely hearing what he had said, "Yeah, sure." He said, not really caring what he had just given the man permission to do.

Blue eyes widened in suprise as Chase agreed, and Mike grinned, "Great, do you care what I do to him?" He asked, seeing now that Chase was distracted by other thoughts.

"Whatever, just don't interrupt me." Chase replied.

Mike grinned wider, and grabbed Eyes roughly by the arm, "Great." He commented, looking the boy up and down. Eyes tried to struggle away, but Mike just laughed, "You're not getting away from me again, kid. I guess I'll just have to hold you down." He drug the boy to the nearest building, which just happened to be that god awful shack that Eyes had just gotten out of. Mike grinned as he pushed the much smaller boy down onto the ground, and slowly approached him, removing his shirt.

"We're here." Jack informed them. As soon as these words were uttered, Kanone shot up from his half asleep daze, and jumped out of the car. The others followed shortly behind, not wanting to waste any time. Kanone all but ran up to Chase's front door and started knocking loudly. A small girl with a black eye answered the door, "Can I help you?" She asked, looking the group over.

"I need to talk to Chase." Kanone informed her.

"Master Chase is busy at the moment, if you want, I can take a message for you." She said.

"That won't work, I'm afraid." Kanone said, "I need to speak to him immediately, it's an emergency."

The girl hesitated, she didn't know what to do. Chase had instructed everyone not to interrupt him while he was in the study, but if it was an emergency...She nodded, "Please, come in." She said, finally, "I'll get Master Chase right away."

Kanone smiled and thanked her, following her into Chase's living room. She left the six in the large room, and went off to get Chase. Everyone, save Kanone, took a seat. The latter remained standing, too anxious to sit down any longer than he had to. Five minutes passed, and Kanone groaned in frustration, "Where is he?" He asked no one in particular.

"Calm down." Jack suggested, "Getting all excited won't do anyone any good."

Ayumu turned to Jack, "So, what kind of plan do you have?" He asked, realizing that Jack was still the only one with that knowledge.

Jack only chuckled, "You'll see."

Finally, the girl returned, alone, "I'm sorry, Master Chase said that you'll have to come back later, he's busy right now."

"He's alone?" Kanone asked, and the girl nodded, "How long will he be?"

"I don't know, but he was pretty intent on whatever he was doing. It might take a while, you should probably just come back later."

Kanone shook his head, "We'll wait." If Chase was alone, then at least he wasn't with Eyes, and that meant the boy was safe.

Oh, how wrong he was. Mike had removed his shirt and was now working on his belt, still walking closer to Eyes. The latter had scooted back as far as he could, and was now pressed up against the wall. His gaze flickered towards the door, and Mike chuckled, "Don't even think about it." He warned. Eyes' attention snapped back to the older man, and glared as the belt dropped onto the floor. Mike was now standing in front of Eyes, and bent down to grab the boy. Eyes once again tried to get away, but he was just a bit too slow, and was caught by his arm. Mike pinned him down onto the floor, and started sliding his hands up the small boy's shirt. Eyes wriggled around, trying to get away form the cold hands, which made Mike laugh harder, "I love it when you squirm." He told Eyes.

This stopped the movement, but the glare only intensified, "You won't get away with this." He said softly.

"Oh, won't I?" Eyes shook his head, "And, pray tell, who is going to stop me?" Eyes hesitated with his answer. He knew that Kanone would show up eventually, but right now it didn't look like it would be in time. Mike smirked, "That's what I thought." He finished unbuttoning Eyes' shirt, and ripped it off to expose the small chest to the cold air. Eyes gasped at the sudden rush of nearly freezing air, and was afraid that he wouldn't be able to calm back down. Somehow, though, he did this quite easily, and turned his attention back to Mike. Eyes didn't know how to get out of this situation, and was starting to fear the worst. Mike saw this fear, and grinned, "Your precious Kanone won't come for you." He said, "I bet he's glad to get rid of you, you were such a burden."

Eyes stared at him, "That's...that's not true." He said, "Kanone will come for me."

"It's sad how naive you are." Mike told him, "I guess you were just too close, though, you couldn't see how much you were holding him back."

"I wasn't holding him back." Eyes said, now a little more confident, "You're lying."

"Fine, then." Mike said, upset that he couldn't make the boy feel betrayed more easily. There was no reason to torture him like this, other than revenge, that is, "Perhaps you'll see the truth when he doesn't come to rescue you." With that, Mike easily removed Eyes' pants, happy that thye boy didn't show any objection other than some slight whimpers. Mike then removed his own pants, and fixated his gaze onto Eyes' boxers. The latter saw this hungry look, and renewed his efforts to escape. They were all in vain, however, as Mike had him firmly pinned. The older one made a tsk sound, "Now, why would you try such a foolish thing?" He asked.

Eyes whimpered again, "Stop." He said, as Mike grapsed the waistband of his boxers.

"Why would I stop now?" Miike asked, chuckling, "The party's just getting started."

It had been ten minutes, and Chase had yet to appear. Even though Kanone was sure that Eyes wasn't currently being hurt (how little he knows), he still wanted to get his boyfriend out of that place, one night was enough. Finally, Kanone had had enough of waiting, and stood up (he finally was convinced to sit down), and drew everyone's attention to him, "Where are you going?" Jack asked.

"I'm going to find Chase." Kanone informed them all, "I'm tired of waiting."

"None of us are happy with waiting, but we don't want to upset him." Ayumu tried to reason.

"I don't care about upsetting him." Kanone said, "I want Eyes."

"So," A voice said from behind Kanone, "You're here for the boy already?"

Kanone turned to glare at the man who had spoken, "Where is he, Chase?"

"Why should I tell you?" Chase asked, "You're not getting him back until I'm done with him, so leave before I have to have you arrested; all of you."

This made a couple of them, namely Rio and Ayumu, nervous. Rio because Kousuke had always told her horror stories of prison, and Ayumu because he would most likely lose his job if he was arrested. Jack, however, stood to join the two men, "Hello, Chase." He greeted the other man.

Chase did a double take, "Jack?" He asked, "What are you doing here?"

Jack smiled an all too innocent smile (a lot like Kanone's), "I just came to see that my friend was returned safe and sound to Kanone." He informed Chase, "Now, then, what were you saying about not being able to return him?"

Chase paled a little bit, "I...didn't know that you were friends with Kanone." He said, a bit shakily.

"Yes, I am, and I would very much like for this to go as easily as possible. So, if you would kindly just hand him over, that would be wonderful." Chase opened his mouth to protest, even though his brain told him not to, "Kanone has already explained the situation to me, so you don't have to. I must say that I don't approve of your behavior, Chase. However, if you simply hand Eyes over, I think I can manage to forget this whole incident."

Chase shut his mouth, thought his protest over, and nodded, "Yeah, okay." He agreed. He had seen Jack mad, it was scary. A pissed Jack was even worse, and Chase knew that Jack would be pissed if Chase even thought to refuse; that was not something that he wanted to go through. The last guy that upset Jack...well, let's just say he isn't around so often anymore.

Jack's smile changed slightly into one of actual happiness, "Good! Well, let's go." He motioned for Chase to lead them to wherever Eyes was.

Chase hesitated for a moment, it would help a whole lot if he actually knew where Eyes was. He remembered that Eyes was with him when Mike told him that his deal hadn't worked out, but after that he couldn't remember what...oh. Chase remembered where Eyes was, with Mike. That would not be the thing to tell anyone in that room, so Chase smiled, "How about I go get him for you. There's no reason for all of you to go outside in the rain, I'll just bring him to you."

Kanone was suspicous of this, and knew Chase was up to something. He also knew that Eyes would tell him if anything had happened, "Hurry up." Was all he said, and Chase was out the door.

Eyes told Mike once more to stop, as the older one drew down his boxers, and took in the boy's full appearance, "Not a chance now." Mike said, slipping his own pants and boxers off eaily. He climbed on top of Eyes, and prepared to thrust himself in.

Chase hurried outside into the cold and rain, hoping to catch Mike before he did anything to the boy. Thinking that he would have taken him to the old wooden barn that all the slaves lived in, Chase went there first.

"Stop squirming." Mike ordered. He tried to hold Eyes still, but the boy was struggling furiously, trying to get away. Aggrivated, he slapped the boy hard across the face, "I said hold still." Eyes finally gave up, what reason was there to get knocked around and then raped? Might as well just get it over with. Mike grinned, "Good boy." And got ready once more.

Finding no silver haired boys in the barn, Chase thought where else Mike could have taken him. Then, Chase remembered the small shack that he had thrown Eyes in. He quicky made his way there, hoping like hell he could stop anything from happening.

Hmm, did he get there in time? The world will never know...at least until I update again. So, what do you think, am I evil enough to have poor Eyes raped again? I dunno! Review!
