Ok, as promised I will update this fic first, then get to my other ones. Sorry I'm doing this so late, but I went to sleep when i got home from school. However, since I don't have school tomorrow, I can stay up as late as I need to tonight to update all my fics. And hopefully I'll get to them tomorrow before I leave and then Sunday before I have to do my homework. That's if everything goes according to plan...which it may or may not do. Well, enjoy!

CeTe: Yes, you do know me all too well, I would neevr leave a fic like this! And no, I have no excuse...except I'm lazy. But I prefer not to use excuses, so I'll just update and then everyone will be happy! I wish there were more EyesKanone fics, but I can't find any other than this website...I'm so deprived! Thanks for reviewing!

alpha2nd: Kanone will be nice at first because he's trying to get Eyes to like him (and as with Eyes, who can resist Kanone?). It's the later chapters that you'll have to watch out for the deception when Kanone is told to kill them all. Will he do it? Who knows...that would be a simple way to end the fic! Thanks for reviewing, and I think I can update this one regularly since I finished off my other one!

Eyes glanced at the hand that was extended to him and then back to its owner, "What did you call me out here for?" He asked, wanting to get to the point; he still didn't completely trust Kanone.

Kanone frowned slightly, "Just because you're famous doesn't give you the right to act like that." Kanone informed him, "You're not better than everyone else."

Eyes glared at the assumption, "I never said I was. But why should I be polite to you when I don't even know you?"

"Well, that's why you should be polite. If you're this rude to everyone, you can't have many friends."

"I'm not interested in making friends. Besides, you are the one who called me out here, all I wanted to know was why. That's far from rude."

Kanone sighed, "Maybe your intention wasn't to be rude, but your words were."

Eyes was getting annoyed by now, why could this man just get to the point, "Why have you been avoiding my question?"

Kanone smiled at him now and Eyes noticed how perfect it was, "I haven't been, I have every intention of answering it, therefore it's not avoiding. I was just trying to make small talk before we got right to business. But I can see that you're not that kind of person, so we'll get down to it."

"And what business do you have with me?" Eyes wondered, knowing very well it had to ahve to do something with the fact that he was a Blade Child, none of his fans were this sophisticated or polite; they were the very opposite which was ironic considering the fact that Eyes was a pianist; there was usually a more classy audience asssociated with that type of music.

Kanoen laughed, "You really don't enjoy small talk do you?" Eyes just glared in response, even though he had noticed that the short conversation that Kanone had started up was a little enjoyable. Kanone seemed more like the person that Eyes could have an actual conversation with than anyone else he had met. Seeing that Eyes wasn't going to speak, Kanone continued, "I want to help you."

"I wasn't aware that I needed help." Eyes was now interested, though. How could this man possibly help him? He was nothing special from what Eyes could see...well, besides the fact that he was quite cute and very nice, "What does that have to do anything?" Eyes thought to himself, why was he thinking these things? Kanone was the only person that Eyes felt he could connect with on an intellectual level, he just seemed perfect for Eyes. "I'm one of the Blade Children." Eyes reminded himself, "I'm not meant to be happy." But just because something was meant to be, didn't mean it had to be, right?

"You are very aware that you need help. You are in the dark right now, you have no idea what they are thinking or when they will strike next. They, on the other hand, are watching you very closely. They know your every move and are just waiting until you let your guard down."

"And 'they' are?" Eyes asked, though he already knew the answer.

"Hunters, of course." Kanone replied, "I can help you. That is if you want my help. It's really none of my business what you decide to do, I'm only here to lend a helping hand."

A million questions ran through Eyes' head. The main one was, of course, "Why would you want to help the Blade Chidren?"

Kanone smirked, "I've got my reasons." He answered simply, not letting Eyes know that those reasons were very bad ones.

"And why should I trust you? I've only just met you and you have avoided a number of my questions."

Kanone thought about it, "Have I given you a reason not to trust me? And I know you may not believe me, but I'm an honest person, I don't lie outright. There's always some truth to my staements."

Perfect. "Are you a Hunter?" There wasn't a way that Kanone could avoid this question without lying.

"No." Kanone answered. He hadn't been lying either, he had never been more honest. The ones in power decided to "relieve" Kanone of his duties as a Hunter until they were ready for him to carry out their plan. They figured that someone would eventually ask him if he was a Hunter and since they knew Kanone disliked outright lying, they found a loophole, which he simply loved. Loopholes were the best.

Eyes didn't know why, but he believed Kanone. All other questions were put aside until Eyes asked one that he probably had no business asking, "Where are you staying?"

Kanone grinned to himself but on the outside he sighed, "I was actually kicked out of my place a couple days ago, I've been staying with a friend, but I really don't like intruding in on him like I have been." Kanone's housing had been, in a sense, funded by the top dog. Kanzaka really liked the golden eyed man and agreed to support him since Kanone did such a wonderful job carrying out their plans. When the plan was thought up, it was decided that Kanone would no longer stay at his current residence, but would have to find somewhere else to stay until he had Eyes' trust.

No one, not even Kanone, could have predicted what would happen next, "You can stay with me if you'd like. I have the room and since you will be helping us out, it's the least I can do." Eyes said.

Kanone nearly did a double take, he was honestly a little disappointed that Eyes had given in so easily, but perhaps that was because Kanone had been trained to decieve people into trusting him. And Kanone wasn't sure why, but people seemed to open up to him and trust him at first glance. Perhaps it was because he didn't seem hostile in any way and had a very friendly visage when he wanted to. This traits made him the perfect candidate for this new plan. But still, Kanone wouldn't have thought in a million years that it would be this easy. It made him a little suspicious but he realized that Eyes would have told him off if he was so inclined to do so. Kanone smiled now, "That's very kind of you. And, honestly, I'm a little suprised at the offer. but since you offered, I'll accept. Thank you."

Eyes nodded. There's was no doubt in his head that Kanone was hiding soemthing, but he didn't know exactly what. Eyes wasn't even sure why he offered to let Kanone stay with him, instinct he supposed. And Eyes always listened to his instincts, they had never led him wrong before, "Can you have your things ready by morning?"

Kanone thought about it and nodded, "I don't have much." He said, which was true. Some clothes and general stuff, but no furniture, it had all been provided for him.

"Alright, where are you staying? I'll have someone come and pick you up to bring you to my place in the morning."

Kanone nodded and wrote down his adress and phone number, "Just in case." He explained. The two said goodbye and parted (well, Kanone said goodbye and Eyes just kind of nodded and left).

So, the groundwork is layed down; that basically just means that this story is going to go somewhere soon. I'll have the next chapter up tomorrow, most likely. A couple of things that I wanted to bring to everyone's attention:

1) When I mentioned the "ones in power" about the Hunters, I always imagined them having ranks of a sort. Not really well defined ranks, but not just a group that all agreed on a plan of action. I don't know, maybe like the Blade Children, where Eyes is kind of their leader.

2)Also, when I mentioned Kanzaka, I just figured he was the "leader" of the Hunters (again, like Eyes is to the Blade Children). I don't know how accurate that is, but that's just what I thought. If anyone knows anything about any of this stuff, feel free to correct me! Review!
