I have no distractions today (yay), so that means I've got nothing better to do than write. Enjoy!

After much whining and complaining from Chase, Kanone broke down and cooked some dinner for the three of them. Just as they were about to sit down to a thus far peaceful meal, a knock sounded on the door. Kanone glanced to make sure Chase was still at the table, "Funny, it's usually him interupting our meals." he thought, smirking. Standing, he made his way to the front door and opened it to reveal a hungry redhead along with a very annoyed brunette. Kanone shook his head, "I don't know why, but for some reason I thought since you were sleeping with him, Ayumu would start making you food." he told Kousuke.
Said cook raised an eyebrow at this, "I'm not his bitch, you know."
Kousuke snickered next to him, and Kanone grinned, "It seems from his reaction that you indeed are." he said, Kousuke nodding in agreement. Ayumu shoved an elbow into his ribs and continued into the house.
"He wouldn't cook." Kousuke explained, shrugging, "I don't know what's crawled up his ass."
Ayumu turned around, "I think that would be you." he informed the redhead.
Kanone smirked at this, "First fight I take it?" he asked, returning to his dining room.
"He's got mood swings like you wouldn't believe!" Kousuke told him, "I didn't even do anything."
"Yeah, right." Ayumu said, crossing his arms and following Kanone.
Said boy turned around, smiling, "I know what you mean, Eyes is the same way." He then frowned at the thought of his lover. The silver-haired boy might have emotional issues, but he would give anything to even be fighting with him right now; as long as he got to see him.
"Do you know how long they'll be gone?" Ayumu asked, frowning as well.
Kanone shook his head, fighting back tears, "I've got no idea." he whispered.
Kousuke joined in the frowning and approached Ayumu from behind, wrapping him in a hug, "I'm sorry." he whispered, "I love you." Just the thought of not being able to hold the brunette made him sick to his stomach.
Ayumu closed his eyes and smiled faintly, leaning back into the embrace, "I love you, too." he replied, tilting his head to place a soft kiss on Kousuke's lips.
Kanone smiled faintly, but sadly, at the couple, "Well, as long as you're here, you might as well eat." he offered, taking his seat.
The two nodded and grabbed some food from the kitchen, joining the three back in the dining room, "What are you two doing here?" Ayumu asked, looking to Jack and Chase.
"Jack here had the wonderful idea that we should move in with Kanone to help him forget how lonely he is." Chase explained, wincing as Jack's hand made contact with his head, "What was that for?" he asked, grinning; he knew exactly what it was for.
Jack sighed, "You don't need to be an ass all the time." he informed Chase.
"I think he does." Kousuke told him, Ayumu and Kanone nodding in agreement.
"Oh, you're one to talk?" Chase shot back, Kanone and Jack this time agreeing while Ayumu was struggling not to.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Kousuke demanded, "I'm not an ass."
"I beg to differ." Kanone interjected.
"You're about to beg." Kousuke threatened.
Kanone raised an eyebrow at this, and Ayumu quickly intervened, "I don't think you should be insulting, threatening, or teasing Kanone while you're in his house, eating his food." he pointed out.
"He called me an ass!" Kousuke said, coming to his own defense.
"You know, Kanone doesn't lie." Jack pointed out.
"You must be an ass." Chase concluded. Kousuke mumbled something under his breath, but said nothing else and turned back to eating his dinner.
Kanone chuckled once more, then sighed, his attention turning back to Eyes, "Where are you?" he wondered, but no answer came.
"I want to see Eyes." Callia said, pacing back and forth in her room, nervously.
"You will, I'm sure." Josh told her, "Master Eyes won't stand for not seeing you for long, you know that."
Callia smirked at the title the newbie gave her son. Josh had only been at Kanone's for a little while, and he (like most others there) came to hold Eyes in the same regard as Kanone. He, of course, had yet to get out of the habit of calling Kanone 'Master', and did the same for Eyes. She sighed, "I know he won't, but I still want to see him now."
Josh went to her, sitting down and taking her hand in his significantly smaller one, "I know how you feel. I want to see Connor, too." Josh and Connor were 10-year-old, brown-haired twins that Kanone had bought. They had never gotten to see each other even though they lived at the same place; one was always working outside while the other was inside. The only time they got to see each other was when they were finally allowed to go to sleep, and by that time they were too tired to even talk. Their first week at Kanone's they had done everything together from sleeping to working to taking breaks and eating dinner. Of course, after they had been taken to where ever they were now, they were once again seperated.
Callia smiled softly and pulled Josh into a hug, "You'll see him soon." he said, "We'll all be back home before you know it."
"How can you be so sure?" the younger one asked her, looking up and frowning, "Master Kanone has no idea that we're even in trouble."
The woman frowned at this, the kid had a point. Kanone was probably still convinced that they were going through some kind of testing process and would return in a few days. Even when he realized that he had been lied to and they weren't returning, how would he find them? She knew that as determined and powerful as Kanone was, it wasn't likely that he'd be able to track them down. Still, she had faith in her son's boyfriend. If it was only his desire to see Eyes again, she knew he would find someway to get to them eventually. She smiled once again at Josh, "Kanone has his ways, he'll find us." The boy was about to object once again when she stopped him, "I have complete faith in Kanone, and you should as well."
A small nod came, "I do." he told her, "I'm just scared."
"I know, but this will all seem like a bad dream when we get back home. It'll be like it never even happened." Of course, she had no proof that this was true, and if she had known what the ones in power had in store for them, she might have done best to bite her tounge and not give the younger one false hope. Though, when it all came down to it, all hope was false when you had been living a lie from the day you were born.
A little ways down the same hall that Callia and Josh's room was in, a man, masked in shadows. moved from Eyes and Jeremy's room and down into the sub-levels of the building. He reached an office and knocked once before entering, "Is everything in order?" he asked the younger man there.
The latter smiled a little, an evil smile, and nodded, "Our plans should be ready to go into action in as little as a day."
"Has he contacted thier leader yet?"
A slight shake of the brunette's head came, "Not yet, he's waiting."
The older man frowned, "For what?"
A shrug answered this question, "We've yet to collect them all and weed out the unfit ones, but as I said, that should only take another day or so."
The frown dissolved into a smile, "Just make sure nothing goes wrong."
The younger one nodded and grinned, "You can count on me, and after this is all over..."
The other man chuckled, "We'll be in complete power." he finished. As he turned to leave, the brown-haired man stopped him.
"Hey, Rob?" he asked.
The man known as Rob turned, "What is it?"
"I know you said no exceptions, but..." the unnamed man hesitated.
"Don't get weak on me now. This is why I chose you, because you promised that you could see this through to the end."
"I know, but I still feel like those two have been through enough. Especially the kid."
Rob sighed, "Some people are just born into a life of pain and regret; you weren't. Be thankful for that and forget those who have." A sad nod accompanied the order, and Rob turned and left.
"Still, I can't help but want the best for him." he thought. Wasn't that all you wanted for the ones you love?

Hmm, who are these people? And who were they talking about? I'll tell you this much: Rob is the police officer that was with Chase when he took Eyes away. Also, you know the other man that he was talking to up there as well as the two they were talking about who had 'been through enough'. As for who 'he' and 'their leader' are, you don't know them...yet. And who exactly are 'they'? Hope this wasn't too confusing, but maybe a little (it's not fun if you know everything!). In the wise words of Kanone, "what fun is the game if you know all the rules?' Or something along those lines...Anyway...review! Oh, easy quote today since I have neither my dvds nor my internet to double check what episode it came from.
"The melody of logic always plays the notes of truth."
a)Spiral of Destiny
b)Day of the Defeated
c)Relentless Rain
d)Like A Swan
I know...painfully easy, but at least you'll get it. Good luck!
