Hallo! I don't know why, I'm just very energetic right now. Yeah, I know, writing isn't exactly the type of thing that people with any actual energy do, but apparently it's what I do! Also, I haven't updated this in a while, and I spent a while on Surrender To Me, so I feel that I have to update at least one of my other fics to uphold my promise. I swear, these damn promises will kill me one day. Well, enjoy!

freya kurenai: I think you find Callia slapping Kanone funny because it is funny. Yeah, I liked that story, too. I find it amazing that I haven't written any fic with AyumuEyes in it, and I have no idea why. It's not any stranger than any other pairing I've done (and absolutely nothing is stranger than KanoneKousuke). Yeah, I know it was only a kiss, but it's still the only one of its kind. I think I know why there aren't too many (or any) KanoneKousuke fics out there... because it's weird! It's like EyesKousuke...though I did that too. Jeez, why am I ranting like this, I told you I had energy, and this is what happens! Oh? What might that 'something' popping up on my screen be? A nice little fic, perhaps? That isn't up yet, right? Ugh, so sorry if I somehow missed it, I really have been trying to pay attention! Well, I'm gonna go ramble to someone else's review now, thanks for reviewing!

CeTe: Yeah, I wish I had gotten a little more creative, but it just gives their pranks room to grow. I guess I'll have to start bringing the other characters back in, too. Perhaps while Kanone and Callia are trying to kill each other, Eyes will go ahead and start trying to help Chase. Or maybe he'll just go for the kill and set Chase and Jack up. Who knows, that boy is crazy! I think Callia got the worse end of waking up to step in a bucket of ice water. I'd hate to have that happen. Of course, I would never try to go against someone like Kanone, either (I guess we see where Eyes gets his craziness from). You can't stand the cold, huh? I love it, I hate the summer. When I was little I used to go outside in the snow in shorts...yeah, maybe I'm related to Eyes and Callia, I seem to have that crazy gene. Nevermind, I just got that from my parents. Still, it would be nice to be related to Eyes...(hey I can dream, can't I?) Heh, I'm ranting again...I'll stop now. Thanks for reviewing!

After convincing his mother not to go to jail for the murder of his boyfriend, Eyes was near exhausted. He couldn't imagine being a parent, it took enough out of him just dealing with his mother and Kanone. Though, at this point and time, they were acting much akin to children...very, very young, immature children. So, you could only imagine how thankful he was when he heard a knock on the door, giving him an excuse to leave his ranting mother about how she was going to kill Kanone. Yeah, he had gotten her to stop actually considering it, but she could still rant about it!

He swore he could still hear her yelling about her latest scheme from all the way downstairs, but figured it must just be an echo in his head; there was no way she'd let the enemy, as she had dubbed Kanone, in on her plans. Shaking his head, Eyes opened the door, never more glad to see who was on the other side of it, "Chase." he said, no fear or hesitation in his voice, only relief that he would have never thought possible to be associated with this man.

Chase grinned a little nervously at Eyes, "Hey, Eyes, how's it goin'?" he asked.

"Fine..." of course, he was cut off by a loud yelp from upstairs, proving that things were far from fine in the giant house. Eyes just shook his head and sighed, "Maybe not so fine." he corrected himself.

"Was that...Kanone?" Chase asked, confused as to why he would be yelling.

Eyes nodded, "He and my mother had a few...disagreements, and now they're out to kill each other."

As if on cue, Callia came running down the stairs, a look of excitement and fear mixed on her face. She halted immediately when she saw Chase, "You." she said, anger and hatred for the man evident in her voice and her eyes, "What are you doing here?" The last time Chase had taken Eyes, Callia had gotten a good look at him, and she vowed to make this man suffer in any way she could.

Chase was taken back by this, he didn't even know the woman, who obviously hated him something fierce, "I'm sorry, have we met?"

"Sorry?" Callia scoffed, "Sorry doesn't even come close to what you should be saying." Eyes thought about telling his mother about what he and Chase had agreed to, but figured it would do no good at the moment, "I'm Eyes' mother." she informed Chase.

He understood then, "Oh." he said simply, "I see..." he trailed off, not quite sure of what to say, and looked to Eyes for help.

"Don't look at him, you pig." Callia said, threateningly, "Answer me, what are you doing here?"

Eyes decided that enough was enough, and he grabbed Callia's hand, "Mother, Chase is actually here to see me." he confessed, hoping she wouldn't be too pissed about it.

Callia blinked a few times, and looked between her son and Chase, "What? He...Eyes, honey, what are you talking about?"

"I'll explain later, okay?" he told her, "Right now, I need to talk to Chase, though."

Kanone had long since joined up with the group, but had stayed silent until now, "I'll stay with him." he assured Callia, "You don't have to worry about anything."

Callia was about to remark that the last time Eyes was left in Kanone's hands, Chase took him, but figured that would probably be the worst thing to say right now, "Fine." she sighed, "I'll be outside if anyone needs me." she pushed past Chase, glaring at him a little before heading out to do some work, and (hopefully) work off some of the pent up hatred she had at that moment.

Chase then realized what she had said, "Wait...she's one of your slaves?" he asked, confused. Eyes gave him a little glare of his own, and Chase immediately got the meaning, "I mean, one of your workers?" he corrected himself.

Eyes smiled just the tiniest bit, "At least he realized what he said." he thought, that was a step up from before.

Kanone nodded, "Yes, she does work some, but not nearly enough for the hell I have to put up with."

Eyes sighed, and here he thought that maybe it was all over. No, it seemed that it was just Kanone's turn to get back at Callia, which made him wonder, "What did she do to you upstairs?" he asked. He had heard a yell, but Kanone didn't seem harmed in any way.

"It was nothing." he said, quickly, turning to hide his blush. Eyes was about to ask him why he had yelled if it had been nothing, but Kanone continued before he could, "So, Chase, what brings you here?"

"I suppose Eyes has filled you in on everything, then?" he asked. Kanone nodded, and Chase sighed, "I...I need to see Jack." he confessed.

"What do you mean?" Kanone asked, not having seen this side of Chase before. Sure, Eyes had told him that Chase was in love, but Kanone still couldn't get a good grasp on this concept.

"I mean I need to see him. It's getting hard to not think about him, and it's driving me crazy. Personally, I'd rather not deal with it at all, but I can't do much about the way I feel."

Kanone was skeptical, and simply scoffed, but Eyes sent him a glare, "Think about it Kanone. For that one night that I wasn't here, what did you do?"

Kanone shifted, "I cleaned." he admitted, "Until about 3 in the morning, then I went to sleep for a couple hours."

Eyes smirked, "And why did you do all of that instead of simply going to sleep. It's not like this place ever gets very dirty."

Kanone sighed, "Alright, I get your point." Eyes smiled, and Kanone turned back to Chase, "Why don't you just go visit Jack if you want to see him that badly?"

"That would be the obvious thing to do, wouldn't it?" Chase asked, "It's not that simple, though. Jack wants nothing to do with me, but that's just because he doesn't know all the changes I've been going through for him. I figured since you and he are pretty close, maybe you could just get him to consider talking with me." he suggested, looking to the boys hopefully.

Kanone hesitated, but Eyes was right there with an answer, "I promised to help you any way I could, and I will. I don't want you to get your hopes up, though, if he declines. If you keep going like you will, I'm sure you'll get in his good graces again soon enough."

Chase nodded eagerly, "Alright." he agreed, "So, when can I see him?"

Eyes just shook his head, some people really have no attention span whatsoever. He looked back up to Chase's expectant expression, "Soon." he answered, "We need to contact him, though, and set everything up. Come back tomorrow around noon."

Chase thought it all through, "Okay, I'll be here. Thanks, Eyes. You know, you really are a good kid." Chase reached out and ruffled Eyes' hair affectionately. Eyes closed his blue orbs that seemed to be smiling themselves and leaned into the touch. It was funny and a little disturbing to think of how different he and Chase were not even a year ago. Once upon a time, Eyes would have been deathly scared of this small bit of attention he was recieving, and now he was actually repsonding to it.

Chase stopped petting him, and those bright, blue eyes opened back up to gaze up at the older one, "So, we'll see you tomorrow." Chase nodded, and with that he was gone for the day.

Kanone sighed, "So, then, you can take care of this, right?" he asked, looking to Eyes.

The younger one was a bit wary of the question, but agreed anyway, "Yes, why do you ask? What are you planning now?" he asked, getting a bad feeling about this.

Kanone smirked, "Revenge." he replied simply.

Eyes, however was not satisfied with this, "So, tell me, what exactly did she do?" he asked, actually a little interested to see how dirty his mother could play.

Kanone sighed, then whispered into Eyes' ear, "She snuck into our room while I was still half asleep, and poured hot sauce down my boxers." he confessed. Eyes snorted out a laugh at hearing this.

"You're serious." he asked, not even trying to hide his smirk.

Kanone glared, "Yes, I'm serious, and it hurt like hell!"

Eyes nodded, trying not to laugh when he was finally able to speak again, "Alright, I will admit that was a little dirty..."

"A little!" Kanone exclaimed, "For crying out loud, Eyes, I could have been permanently damaged down there, and you know what that means..."

Oh, Eyes knew what that meant, "I'll talk to her." he said, then headed off to do just that. A hurt Kanone meant no sex, and that would make for a very unhappy Eyes. Kanone smirked and walked (well, kind of limped, actually) off to plan his next move.

Heh, okay, it might not have been more clever, per say, but it was definitely funnier. Oh, come on, like you can picture Kanone running around, trying to cool himself off (by what method I do not know, and do not want to know), and not laugh your ass off. Heh, well, I can't. Either way, at least there was a bit more than just Callia and Kanone at each other's throats all day this chappy. Poor Eyes, his doctor's thing has no hope of surfacing anytime soon now, does it? Oh well, I guess it wasn't that serious, he's not dead yet! Oh...oh, idea, idea! Mine! I'm alright...review!
