Stupid site...it's really getting on my nerves with all this blank story page-ness. It's why I haven't updated, blame it! Anyway, on with...things. Enjoy!
A/N: At the beginning of the chapter (after the responses), I'll put up the answer (who said it, who it was said to, and what episode it was from). Underneath that, I'll put up the score. The penname will be underlined and the number next to their name will be the number of points. If they have any bonus points, I'll put that number in () next to the name as well. That way, if we ever have any disagreements over points, you can go back and look at the scoring yourself for each chappy.
freya kurenai: I would faint if I saw two Kanone's, too. He's about drop-dead sexy enough. Actually, I think Eyes is the sexier one, but I have claimed Kanone and must stick by him.
Kanone: Or, you could just stick by me because you know I'm the sexy one. Eyes is just a pretty face (he's got a girly body, though)
Eyes: A girly body that you love.
Kanone:...it's true, I do love it... (takes Eyes and runs into a nearby closet).
Me: Why do I never get to watch? Anyway, thanks for reviewing!
CeTe: Technically, our game came from this chappy. I started doing it at the beginning, then I started doing it in the emails and it turned into...that (points at fic). Heh, Kousuke vs. Kanone...no contest. Kanone could kick Kousuke's ass blindfolded. Thanks for reviewing!
Polaris18: Eek, well...umm, no. Though, that was who it was said to, but who said it? Ooh, I get Eriol? Yay!
Eriol:...why? Why would you do that to me's; she mean!
Me: Am not, just wait until V-Day.
Eriol: More like D-Day...
Me: (refrains from slapping Eriol) Thanks for reviewing!
Answer: The quote is from Kanone to Eyes in episode # 9, Dry Eyes. (I kind of mixed up the words, it was actually 'we Blade Children are children who must not live', but it was close enough. Either way, sorry about that! I'll try to get them right from now on.)
Points:...umm, heh, none as of yet...

Kousuke couldn't put it off any longer, and Ayumu wasn't helping by reminding him of that, "You've got to go over there eventually." he pointed out.
Kousuke sighed, "I know, but I do enjoy living, can't I wait a few more minutes?" he complained.
Ayumu chuckled, "You know, he won't really kill you."
Kousuke glanced at his boyfriend, "How are you so sure?"
Ayumu smiled softly, "Because, then I would have to kill him, and then I'm sure Eyes would kill me, then Kiyotaka would more than likely go after Eyes, and Callia after Kiyotaka...it just wouldn't end well and many people would end up dead."
Kousuke scoffed, "Yeah, that's what you think, but you go after Kanone, and he'll kill you, too."
"He is incredibly scary when he wants to be." Ayumu agreed. This, of course, didn't make Kousuke feel any better, and the younger one stood from his seat next to the redhead, "Well, if you're not going over there, I am."
Kousuke's head snapped up, "Why are you going over there?"
Ayumu smirked, "Well, to see if he's going to kill you or not." he replied, "If he isn't, then you don't have anything to worry about."
Sighing, the older one stood up, half glaring at Ayumu, "Let's go." he mumbled, heading out of the bedroom. Smiling victoriously, Ayumu followed behind.
Kousuke paused at the door, "Should I knock?" he asked Ayumu, who shrugged.
"I don't know. If he's pissed at you, it might not be a good idea to just walk in. Though, Ryoko said he wanted to see you, which means he might be expecting you, and it might annoy him that you are knocking."
"Wow, thanks, that helped." Kousuke said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. Deciding that it was better to be annoying than rude (though, he was sure Kanone already saw him as both), he knocked a couple of times.
A moment later, the door swung open to reveal a small boy that couldn't have been more than 7 or 8, "Yes?" he asked, looking up at Kousuke.
"Hey, is Kanone here?" Kousuke asked.
The small boy bit his lip, "Umm, I think so..." he trailed off, and looked back up to Kousuke, saying nothing more.
The redhead glanced to Ayumu, who shrugged, and then looked back to the boy, "You think I can talk to him?"
"I...I don't know." the small boy admitted, "I'm not even sure I should have answered the door."
Kousuke grinned, realizing what was going on, "You're new here, aren't you?" The boy nodded quickly, "Just go find Kanone and tell him I'm here."
The boy looked from Kousuke to Ayumu, and the latter sighed, "Will you tell Kanone that Kousuke is here." Without another word, the child went to do as he was told.
Kousuke laughed, "Right...he's new." he shook his head, "Why do you think Kanone always gets the cute ones? I mean, look at Eyes."
"Because he's a pedophile and that's what pedophiles do." Ayumu responded, matter-of-factly.
Kousuke shrugged, "I guess he is, technically, but he's not that bad."
"No, it is that bad. Do you remember Justin? He was 5 years younger than Kanone, the guy is sick, but it doesn't make him a bad person."
"Well, I'd certainly hope not." said the boy himself, "I'd hate to be thought of as a pervert by the people who called themselves my friends."
Kousuke's head snapped up at the voice, "Oh...hi, Kanone." he said, laughing nervously, "Didn't see you there."
"Obviously." Kanone muttered, then stepped back into his house, "Well, are you going to come in, or are we going to have this conversation through the door because I'm closing it."
Ayumu and Kousuke took his advice and quickly stepped inside, taking their coats off. The redhead turned to the oldest, "Listen, Kanone, before you do anything, I want to..."
"Save your apologies." Kanone cut him off, "I don't want to hear it." Kousuke said nothing else, probably the smartest thing he'd done for a while, as he and Ayumu followed Kanone into the living room. Kousuke tried not to glance over, but found himself looking at the spot where he had last seen the broken urn that contained Kanone's mother's ashes. He was only a little suprised that there was nothing there, and that the ashes had been collected and placed in another urn. Kanone took a seat, Ayumu and Kousuke following suit. The latter unconsciously reached out to grab his boyfriend's hand, and Kanone smirked at them, "So, how did this happen?" he asked, motioning to the couple.
Kousuke and Ayumu traded glances, and the younger one finally answered, "It was actually me, I kissed him first."
Kanone smirked, "That figures."
Ayumu glared a little at him, "What's that supposed to mean?"
"Regardless of what you might admit to, I could see the way that you would look at him; it was obvious of your attraction." Kanone informed him, "I just always assumed he would hook up with Ryoko."
Ayumu laughed, "I think everyone did."
Kousuke didn't appreciate the two talking about him like he wasn't there, but didn't want to interrupt; he was already in enough shit with Kanone. The latter saw it was getting on his nerves, and turned his attention to the redhead, "So, Kousuke, tell me. Was there absolutely no attraction to Ryoko on your part at all?"
"Wait...is this what he wanted to talk about?" Kousuke wondered, suddenly. He looked to Kanone and shook his head, "No, I just always saw her as a sister." he admitted.
Kanone nodded, "Well, I suppose everything worked out for the best." he commented. After a moment of silence, Kanone sighed, "I suppose I should tell you why I called you over here."
Kousuke froze, so there was something else. He had known it wouldn't be as simple as to ask how Ayumu and he got together, though. Swallowing hard, he cringed at the thought of what Kanone's real intentions were. He could be the nicest person right up until he stabbed you in the back, "Yeah?" he asked in a shaky voice.
Kanone held back a laugh at how nervous Kousuke was, wondering if he struck this much fear in everyone. He finally decided to put the youger one out of his misery, though, "I wanted to apologize to you, Kousuke."
Said boy was speechless as he looked at Kanone, mouth hung slightly open, "He's apologzing? Kanone is apologizing to me He suddenly wondered if he had gotten sucked into some parallel universe. He also wondered what the hell he was supposed to say to this.
Luckily, Kanone kept talking, saving Kousuke the trouble of doing so, "I shouldn't have snapped at you like that. While I do wish that you would have been a little more careful, it was an accident, and it's senseless to get upset over an accident."
Kousuke nodded, "Thanks." was all he could say. In honesty, he was thanking Kanone for not ripping his head off and for being so level-headed.
Kanone smiled, "Well, I'm certainly not going to ruin a friendship over this, though I must say some good did come from it." he noted, motioning once again to Ayumu and Kousuke's intertwined fingers.
Kousuke grinned, now a world more confident, "Yeah, thanks for that, too."
Kanone laughed as the three stood up, "So, I suppose you'll be by for dinner?"
Kousuke grinned, "Actually, Ayumu's cooking dinner tonight, but I'll be here first thing in the morning for breakfast."
Shaking his head, Kanone chuckled, "See you tomorrow, then."

Hmm, what now? No more problems that need taking care of, no one pissed at anyone...I have nothing to do in this fic anymore! Unless I'm forgetting something... anyone have any ideas? Well, review!
It's occured to me that you may have no way of knowing what the episodes are and that I'm an idiot for expecting that of you. Just to make it a tad bit easier, with each quote, I'll give you a list of four episode titles, and one of them will be the episode it's from. That way you all have a fighting chance, especially when they get harder. Besides, I doubt that anyone has all the titles memorized, even if you knew which episode it was! With that said, here's the next quote:
"You're a frightening young man, do you know that? Despite having the look of a loser, you continue to believe in possibility."
a) Goodnight, Sweetheartb)Moving Targets
c)The Sound of an Iris Freezing and Meltingd)The Confession
Heh, I love that quote. Anyhow, good luck!
