Whoo, we're almost to 60 chapters. Joy! Umm...let's see, anything else? Oh, I'll start updating regularly from now on, so don't worry about that! Trust, too... I guess that's all!
freya kurenai: Lol, whenever I fall asleep in the afternoon (like after I get home from school), and wake up in the early evening, I always think it's the next morning. One day last year, I remember getting up around 6:30 or so (it was that time of year where 6:30 a.m and 6:30 p.m look about the same), and I got about halfway to my bus stop before I realized that it was night...yeah, I felt like an idiot. Of course I'll do KousukeAyumu, I promised, didn't I? Well, I at least said I would...What's the plot for, a fic you're gonna write? Or just something off the top of your head? It sounds very interesting; don't think I've heard something quite like it. Thanks for reviewing!
Polaris18: Lol, well, tell him to figure out if he's gay or bi. If he's the latter...perhaps he'll get a nice little V-Day present of his own (laughs as she sees everyone checking the review to see what the hell I'm talking about). Yay, fluff! (cuddles up to...wait, who the hell do I have? You took my Eriol, I'm all alone!) Eyes is with Kanone (Kanone-stealer... or is that me?), Kousuke is with Ayumu. I've got...Kalelle! (grabs Kalelle and cuddles him)
Kalelle:...I'm not in this fic. And I'm defintely gay.
Me: Well...Ayumu's taken right now (points to Ayumu and Kousuke).
Kalelle: Like hell he is! (runs over to the two, and him and Kousuke get in a fight, knocking each other out).
Me: What, so now I'm stuck with this loser? (points to Ayumu)
Ayumu: Hey, I only look like a loser!
Me:(pushes Ayumu over to Eyes) you take him (grabs Kanone), I'm good! Thanks for reviewing!
CeTe: Heh, did you just see what happened up there? I dont' think dysfunctional even comes close. It's like musical chairs with boyfriends! Thanks for reviewing!
A/N: Whoops, almost got distracted and forgot about the game!
Kanone: You know nothing of games.
Me: Shut up, go make out with Eyes...or Ayumu...or Kousuke
Ayumu: Like hell, Kousuke's mine!
Kalelle: No, you're mine!
Eyes...Little Narumi is a loser.
Everyone: He only looks like a loser!
Ayumu: Hey!
Me: Can we just get on with the game?
Kalelle: (bounces up and down) Oh, pick me, pick me!
Ayumu: If you ever do that again, I'm never sleeping with you again.
Kalelle: So, I still have...wait, I only have one boyfriend?
Ayumu: Ha! I win!
Me: Anyway...the game. Here are the rules:
Kanone: Everyone dies.
Me: No, we're not playng your games!
Kanone: But your rules are boring, can't someone die?
Me: Eyes, don't you have a leash for him or something?
Eyes:It's still in the bedroom.
Me:...anyway...
Kalelle: Don't act like you're not thinking about it!
Me:That's what all the ...s were. And why are you thinking about it, Kanone's your brother!
Eriol: Everyone, shut up. The rules are as follows: At the end of every chapter, KousukeAsazuki(the genius writer, not the idiot) will put up a quote by one of the spiral characters.
Kousuke: Hey, not an idiot over here! Anyway, you have to tell her (in a review) who says the quote and (here's the fun part) who they're talking to.
Kanone: Actually, you are an idiot because you think this is fun.Of course, most of them will be pretty simple for you die-hard fans,(even Kousuke got one of them... even though he was the one speaking) and the first to get 10 right in a row gets a prize.
Kalelle: Also, note that if you get one wrong, your count starts over. Just to make it a bit more fun, you can't cheat!
Kousuke: Since when is cheating not fun?
Eyes: For those of you more dull-minded than Kousuke, no cheating means you have to know it by heart.
Me: Right! Obviously I can't tell if you're cheating, but I'm taking it on good faith that you're honest enough not to.
Kousuke: Can I play?
Me: No.
Kousuke: Why not?
Ayumu: Alright, I love you and all, but you're a horrible cheater. Besides, you failed the trial run, remember? You only got one right.
Kousuke: Oh...
Me:One additional note: One person can win more than once in a row (I hate those rules that say you can win only once!), and more than one person can win at a time (like if 2 people get all 10 right in a row, they'll both get the prize). To increase your chances of winning, I'm going to be playing this game in all my fics, so check them out, too! Who knows, maybe I'll repeat one or two...Wow...that was really long...onto the fic!

Over at the Narumi's house, Ayumu had thuroughly convinced Kousuke that everything would be okay via making out. Once they were both out of breath and a little hungry, Ayumu volunteered to cook them some breakfast. Agreeing to the idea of food being made for him, Kousuke sent his new boyfriend off with a kiss. Chuckling and saying something about a certain redhead being a lazy bum, Ayumu went off in search of something edible.
Just as he found some chicken for the stiry fry he was attempting to make with the lack of ingredients he had, he heard a knock at the door. Sighing he set the chicken on the counter, "I need to go to the store sometime soon." he thought, idly, as he opened the door to reveal the girl that had stormed out of that same house not 20 minutes ago, "Ryoko?" Ayumu asked, a little nervously. He knew that Ryoko could probably kick his ass if she was so inclined to do so, which he had a feeling she probably was right about now.
Ryoko scanned the area of the house she could see, not finding the redhead, "Where's that idiot?" she asked, though her tone wasn't harsh or cold.
"He's upstairs..." Ayumu informed her, not sure if he should be telling her that or not. Before he could consider the possibilities, Ryoko slipped past him, heading up the stairs. Flustered, Ayumu stumbled over his words, but finally got the message out, "Wait!" he called, hoping to stop her.
Fortunately, she seemed to be not hell-bent on killing Kousuke, and turned, "What?" she asked.
"LIsten, I know you might be upset with Kousuke, but just think about this before you do anything you'll regret."
Ryoko narrowed her gaze at him, "What are you talking about? I just wanted to apologize for reacting the way I did."
All Ayumu could do was stare, "Oh..." he muttered, turning back to continue on with his cooking.
Ryoko silently entered Ayumu's room, where Kousuke was laying on the bed, stretched out and emerald eyes closed. She smirked, and opted for messing with him a little. She walked into the room a few steps, then slammed the door shut with a bang. Kousuke jumped a few feet into the air, and came to land on the floor with an oomph. Ryoko grinned at him, and his once peacefully-closed eyes now widened in terror at her motives for coming back, "R-Ryoko...what are you doing here?" he asked, laughing nervously.
Ryoko strolled over to where Kousuke was on the floor, smiling sweetly and obviously fakely, "Oh, nothing much, I just wanted to talk to you." she said, a glint in her eye.
Kousuke, however, had no idea that this was all an act, and tried to defend himself though he wasn't sure for what, "Look, Ryoko, I...I didn't mean t-to hurt y-you..." he started stuttering as she came closer and closer.
"Oh, I know." she replied, finally reaching the redhead, who looked like he was about to piss himself. Crouching down to his level, her eyes finally softened as she ran a hand through his hair, laughing as he flinched, "Relax, Kousuke, I just came here to apologize."
Kousuke's mouth hung open slightly, completely blindsided by this turn of events, "You...you did?" he asked, still a little wary.
"Of course I did, baka." she whispered, "I can't help loving you, like I know you can't help loving Ayumu." she paused, "Do you love him?"
Kousuke hesitated; he hadn't thought about it. He knew he liked Ayumu and he was happy whenever he was around him, which wasn't often. Though, Kousuke was sure that would change now that they were together. He felt a little giddy inside whenever he thought about Ayumu, and wondered if that was love. Smiling, he came to the conclusion that it definitely wasn't simple lust or a little crush, "I think I do." he finally replied.
"You...do?" came a voice behind Ryoko. That voice, of course, belonged to none other than Ayumu, who happened to be holding a plate of food in his hand.
Kousuke grinned, pushing himself off the floor as Ryoko stood as well. The former walked quickly over to his boyfriend, "I love you even more when you have food." Kousuke told him, reaching for the desired object.
Ayumu, however, hid the plate behind his back, "Wait a minute."
Kousuke frowned, "What? You're not giving me the food now?"
Ryoko sighed, slapping Kousuke lightly, "Idiot, you really do have a one track mind, don't you?"
Completely confused, Kousuke looked between Ayumu and Ryoko. Chuckling, Ayumu gave Kousuke his desired food, "I love you, too."
Kousuke paused from nearly inhaling the food to look up at Ayumu, "Really?"
Ayumu smirked and pulled Kousuke closer to him, kissing him quickly as to not get in the way of his eating for too long; Kousuke could get scary when he was detained from food, "Really." With that confirmed, Kousuke resumed his inhalation of the stir fry, only mumbling a goodbye as Ryoko walked past the two to leave.
"Oh, and Kousuke?" she said, turning. Kousuke glanced at her, attempting to say 'what', but failing to do so due to the large piece of chicken he was actually chewing (don't want him to choke!). Ryoko grinned at the sight, "Kanone said he wanted to talk to you." With no further explanation, Ryoko turned on her heel and left Kousuke to wonder why Kanone wanted to talk to him.
Quickly swallowing, and nearly choking, Kousuke called after her, "Wait, Ryoko, why does he want to talk to me?" Getting no answer, he looked nervously to Ayumu, who smiled.
"Don't worry, I'll go with you. He can't kill you with witnesses." he assured Kousuke.
"What kind fo fairytale world are you living in?" he asked, only partially sarcastically. He looked down at his now-empty plate, glad that he had finished his meal before Ryoko gave him the potentially life-threatening news. Usually, Kanone's 'talks' didn't involve much talking at all. Especially when it was with someone in Kousuke's position.
Ayumu took his plate from him for fear that he would drop it as lost in thought as he was. This snapped Kousuke back to reality and he looked up into Ayumu's comforting eyes, "The one where we live happily ever after." he replied, setting the plate aside and pulling Kousuke into a passionate kiss. Kousuke smiled into the kiss, quickly taking control of it, and letting his worries fade away if just for those few moments. It really did seem like another world in Ayumu's arms.

Kalelle:(looks to Kanone) You best not touch my boyfriend.
Kanone:(raises an eyebrow) Tell your boyfriend to keep his hands off of my things then.
Kalelle: Jeez get over it, she was dead anyway!
Kanone:...(kills Kalelle and sweeps him under the rug).
Eyes: I don't think he realized that was his mother as well.
Kanone: He wasn't my real brother anyway, just a clone.
Me: Anyway...Here's the quote:
"We Blade Children are children who are not meant to live."
I decided to start you out pretty easy.
Kanone: Easy as hell. If you don't get this right, you'll have to live with the knowledge that you're as bone-headed as Kousuke.
Kousuke: ...Am not!
Rio: (cough)lamecomeback(cough)
Kousuke: What the hell are you doing here? This is boys only, didn't you see the sign?
Me:...excuse me?
Kousuke: What? Aren't you a boy?
Me: Kanone?
Kanone: (kills Kousuke and sweeps him under the rug with Kalelle) I like this game better.
Ayumu: Now I'm all alone!
Me: As all loser should be. Now, remember, you have to know who said the quote and who it was said to.
Eyes: Why do I have to read this?
Me: Just do it; you're more than a pretty face you know, you should talk more.
Kanone: He's got a nice ass, too.
Kousuke: We all know.
Kanone: What?
Eyes:(coughs) Bonus points for knowing what episode it comes from (that wasn't mentioned before).
Ayumu: Five bonus points can be used as a wild card. That means you can trade in five bonus points for one wrong answer.
Me:...is there anyone left?
Eriol: (sigh) Always having to pick up the slack... Listen, what Ayumu meant was, say you got nine quotes right, but missed one, and you have five bonus points. You can trade in those points and it'll be like you got ten quotes right. Got it? Good.
Kanone: Can I kill more people?
Me: Who?
Kanone: (eyes up Kousuke) Oh, no one in particular.
Kousuke: (runs)
Me: Great, so we're down to Kanone, Eyes, and Ayumu?
Eriol: Forgetting me are we?
Me: You're not mine! Well, that's still to be determined, but legally, you're Polaris'. Anyway, good luck! I'll post the answer in the beginning of the following chapter.
Kanone: And forgive KousukeAsazuki if she doesn't get the quote exactly right; it's just a side effect from borrowing that idiot's name for her penname. Why she didn't pick me, I'll never know. I would have made her smarter.
Me...Shut up, Kanone.
