Okay, I don't have much time to do this, but I wasn't even sure I would be able to update today, so it's better than nothing! Enjoy!
CeTe: Sorry it was so short, and sorry if this one is short, too. I only have about an hour to do this, I'm supposed to go to the movie around 1, but I'm not even sure what time the movie starts. I'd propbably have more time, but I left my phone at my brother's so I have to go there and get it...ugh, anyway, thanks for reviewing! And it's very easy to tease them, you're right about that!
alpha2nd: Heh, Mason is quite an idiot. Eyes' name is awesome. Poor, jealous Kanone. Oh well, that's what he gets for being a Hunter. Though Kanone was a Hunter, too, but Kalelle just missed out this time! Of course Kanone and Eyes belong together, they're the ultimate perfect couple! Nope, it's not kanzaka, he'll be with the others. Thanks for reviewing!
Polaris18: That was a good line. Lol, it's all Kousuke teasing her, not me! Do you think that Mason could get away with that? I dunno, but that wasn't what I had planned, it would be interesting, though. Thanks for reviewing!

They had just arrived outside, and Kanone looked to Kalelle. The latter looked back, and silently told him that he got the message. This was a problem, the others would be inside looking for them, and when they couldn't find them, what would they do? It was a problem, but an even bigger one was that they couldn't make a move until the others got there. Mason turned to the two, no longer feeling comfortable with his back turned to them, "We need to wait here for the others." He informed them.
"The others?" Kanone asked.
"Kanzaka, your little boytoy, and a few others. It's obvious you're hiding something, and we just want to be prepared."
Kanone growled, "His name is Eyes, if I have to tell you once more, this deal is off and I'll just kill you and get him out myself."
Mason just scoffed, but complied nonetheless, "Fine, anyway, they should be out soon anyway."
"It's not like Kanzaka to keep people waiting, what are they up to?" Kalelle asked, suspiciously.
"Is that any of your business?" Mason asked, avoiding the question.
Kalelle sighed, "Never could get a straight answer out of you."
"Well, when you're as twisted as Mason is, it's hard to give a straight answer." Replied a voice behind them.
Kalelle and Kanone both turned to see Kanzaka, Eyes, and a few other Hunters, "Kanzaka." Kalelle growled, glaring at the others as well, save Eyes.
Kanone's attention, however, was fixed on someone else, "Eyes." He whispered.
This drew the Blade Child's attention to him, and he looked at Kanone with a look of regret and apologies. He was still cursing himself for being so careless. Kanzaka chuckled, "So, Kanone, is this going to go smoothly, or will there be complications?"
"The only complicated thing here is your twisted mind, Kanzaka." Kanone replied, finally turning his attention to the older man, "Give him back, or I'll kill you, how is that for a complication?"
Kanzaka smiled, "That's why I brought these men with me, I figured you would try something so barbaric as to just attack me, Kanone. Make one move, and you, your brother, and your boyfriend are as good as dead."
Kanone surveyed the group, there were only three others there besides Kanzaka and Eyes. Kanone recognized them all, and knew he could best any of them in a fair fight; however, what he didn't know was how fair they'd fight. Still, he had to keep up the cocky act, "Do you think those three can stop me?" Kanone asked, "Honestly, Kanzaka, that's just offensive."
"Maybe they can't stop you, but a few bullets will; that much I'm sure of."
Kanone looked at the three holding guns, "And you called me barbaric, this is far from fair."
"You had the same opportunity as I did, Kanone, it's not my fault if you didn't prepare well enough." Kanzaka replied.
Kanone sighed, they had prepared. Apparently, though, it wasn't well enough, as the others had yet to show. Kanone was beginning to get worried, if they couldn't hear them, would they be so foolish as to wonder around aimlessly? Of course they would, they were doing this for Eyes after all. Kanone glanced to Kalelle to see the same concern on his face; where were they?
One simple answer to that question; they were lost. Completely and totally lost. Kousuke groaned in frustraion, "This place is like a maze, it's worse than a maze!"
Rio grippede her kitty-bomb tightly, "We need to fine them. Kanone and Kalelle won't be able to stall them forever, and the Hunters will get suspicious soon."
Ryoko looked around, and sighed as well, "They're not in the basement, we can be sure of that, right?" The others nodded in confirmation. The basement was relatively small, and they had been through most of it already, and had heard no voices at all. So they had returned upstairs, but gave up on the ventilation ducts. There appeared to be no one at all there, and though they were suspicious, they could search for the brothers and Eyes easier this way.
"If they're not where Kanone said they would be, then where they are?" Kousuke asked.
"Kanone never said they would be any where for sure." Rio reminded him, "He only said he thought they would be in the basement, they could be anywhere."
The three turned a corner, and came face to face with a brunette that definitely wasn't Kanone or Kalelle. They stopped in their tracks, glaring at the boy, who looked to be about their age. He glanced at them once, and smirked, "Well, you must be the Blade Children, I figured you'd come here."
"Who the hell are you?" Kousuke asked, though it was a stupid question.
"A Hunter, obviously." The boy replied, still smirking, "I take it you came here with Kanone and Kalelle to get Eyes?"
"Where are they?" Rio asked, demanding the information.
The boy laughed, "They're outside, you guys were way off. Let me guess, Kanone told you they'd be in the basement?" The three said nothing, but the brunette knew he was right, "Couldn't he have figured that was too obvious?" He asked himself as much as them.
"Get out of our way." Kousuke said, threateningly.
The boy chuckled, "Do you even know where you're going? You look kind of lost to me."
"We're not lost!" Kousuke yelled, when he knew they were so very lost. The Hunter didn't need to know that, though, "Now move unless you want to die."
"Calm down." The boy said, "It's obvious you're lost."
"Unless you're going to help us, we don't have time for this." Ryoko said, getting impatient.
The boy smirked, "And if I were to help you?"
"Why would you do that?" Kousuke asked, not at all convinced the boy would help them.
"I guess I kind of lied to you before." He explained, "I'm not really a Hunter, Kanzaka and the others just think I am."
"Why would you join forces with the Hunters if you weren't one of them?" Rio asked, just as wary as Kousuke.
"It's a long story, one that we really don't have time for." The boy explained, "I can take you to them, if you'd like. You don't have to believe me, though, I'll just continue on, and leave you here. I mean, it's not like you're lost or anything, right?"
"And why the hell should we trust you?" Kousuke asked, accusingly.
"Can you really risk not donig do right now?" The boy asked, "Kanzaka won't wait forever, and he'll start to get suspicious if Kanone and Kalelle stall for too long."
Kousuke hesitated. He knew the boy was right, but if they went with him, they could be making a fatal mistake. If he was telling the truth, though, and they didn't believe him, then that mistake would be fatal to Eyes. Rio and Ryoko knew this as well, and the former spoke up, "Take us to them." She decided.
"Rio, what the hell?" Kousuke asked, turning to her. He had yet to make up his mind, and didn't approve of Rio's quick decision.
"We can't leave Eyes there all alone, Kousuke." Rio explained, "Besides, who knows how many Hunters are them with him. I can't just pass up a chance liek this. If he wants to help us, we have to let him."
"And if he doesn't want to help us, and he's just tricking us?" Kousuke asked.
"Regardless of whether or not he's tricking us, he wasn't lying when he said that we need to hurry. Time's running out, and we need to get to Rutherford as soon as possible." With that, Ryoko turned to the boy, "Let's go."
The boy smiled and nodded, "By the way, my name's Ayumu."
