I really wanted to update Trapped today, so maybe if I hurry with this one I can get them both done. I know I said I'd devote today and tomorrow to updating, and I will. It just might be writing them out so I can type them up tomorrow, instead of just typing them up. Also, as I've mentioned in my other fic, I will be writing the next chappy of The Power of Music. That should be up tomorrow if everything goes according to plan (which it rarely does). Anyway, I'll shut up now and get to updating, enjoy!
Polaris18: I might do that, someone else suggested the same place, so that'll most likely be what I go with. Thanks for reviewing!
alpha2nd: You suggested the same thing as Polaris, so, like I told her, that's probably what I'll do. Heh, I can imagine Eyes' face, too; pretty funny. A question for your question: Who doesn't have the hots for Eyes? I wasn't planning on making it a big thing, maybe just some sort of unspoken crush; like I said, everyone has the hots for Eyes, I suppose they just deal with it or something. Yes, something will happen with the dream, but I'm not telling what! I'll reserve all comments about Ayumu for now. Heh, he is very touchy feely with Kanone, though. Do you think they got much cleaning done in the shower? I'm thinking no, but who knows? You're welcome for the update, thanks for reviewing!
CeTe: Hmm, the place I'm considering isn't that unpredictable, but there are many fun things to be done there! After I'm done with this, I'll do Trapped, and then (finally) get to work on The Power of Music. Thanks for reivewing!

That was the question that was on everyone's mind, where would they go? When Kalelle suggested the idea, it hadn't been thought through very well. He knew something had to be done, but hadn't planned out the specifics. Seeing that no one else was offering any suggestions, he continued, "We can't stay in America." He thought out loud.
Kanone nodded in agreement, "So, where should we go?"
"Somewhere they wouldn't expect." Rio suggested.
"And it shouldn't be too close." Ryoko added, "The closer we are, the easier we are to find."
"Over seas, then?" Kalelle asked, and everyone nodded.
"What about Ireland?" Rio asked, with a glint in her eyes; she'd always wanted to visit Ireland.
Kousuke scoffed, "Yeah, let's go party with the international drunks. We meet a Hunter there, and he won't care who sees us dying."
Rio sighed, "Not all Irish people are drunks." She pointed out.
"Let's go somewhere that no one has a problem with." Kalelle suggested, causing Rio to pout.
"Well, we could go to Antartica." Kousuke suggested, "There aren't enough people there for any of them to be a Hunter."
"No way." Ryoko objected, "I hate the cold." Then thought a minute before adding her own suggestion, "What about Germany?"
"I don't want to have to learn another language." Kousuke complained.
"That's just because you're too much of an idiot, Kousuke." Rio informed him, "You can't even speak English that well."
"Can too!" Kousuke yelled, proving the girl's point.
"What about England?" Kanone suggested, "There aren't that many drunks there, as far as I know, it's not incredibly cold, and we wouldn't have to learn a new language. Besides, I would love to see where Eyes grew up." He added, glancing to his boyfriend.
The Blade Child simply shrugged, "It's fine with me." Deep down, though, he missed home. When his mother passed away, he came to America to try and start a new life. By chance, he met Rio one day, and got involved with the other Blade Children through her.
"Any objections?" Kalelle asked, and each shook their head. The older twin smiled, "Good, then. Now that that's settled, we should go as quickly as possible We don't want to give the Hunters any more chances than possible."
"You all will need passports." Eyes pointed out.
"Kalelle and I used to travel a lot when we were younger, so we have ours. Do any of you have passports?" He asked the reamining Blade Children and Ayumu. They all shook their heads, "That'll be our top priority, then."
"Packing won't take but a couple of days, and we'll need to withdraw these four from school." Kalelle said, meaning Kousuke, Rio, Ryoko, and Ayumu, "None of this should take too long. Let's say, next Thursday we should be ready to go?" It was Tuesday of that week already, which gave them 9 days.
No one had any arguements with that, and Kanone spoke up, "Eyes and I can take care of the tickets, right?" Said boy nodded in confirmation, "When we arrive, we can get a hotel until we find a more permanent residence. Is there anything we're missing?"
Everyone thought if there were any dire needs that needed attended to, but couldn't come up with anything. Kalelle looked to the three that didn't live in the apartment, "What are you three doing here, anyway?"
"Rio had a nightmare last night." Kousuke explained, "It took almost all night to convince her to wait until morning to come."
"A nightmare?" Kalelle asked, wondering why it was neccessary to come here because she had a nightmare.
"Something to do with the Hunters and Eyes, I think." Kousuke explained, not wanting to go into too much detail for Rio's sake. The girl simply nodded, and looked away. The whole moving business had taken her mind off of the awful dream, but now that it had been brought up again, she couldn't stop thinking about it.
An uncomfortable silence washed over the group for a moment before Ayumu spoke up, "Is anyone hungry?" He asked, attempting to change the subject.
It seemed to work as Kalelle and Kanone immediately brightened up, they knew how good of a cook the younger boy was, "That's nice of you to offer, Ayumu, thank you." Kanone replied, smiling.
Rio's stomach rumbled at the mention of food and smiled at Ayumu, "Can you make egg sandwitches?"
"I don't want eggs." Kousuke complained, "Hey, can you make chinese food?"
"I want pasta." Ryoko said, not wanting to be left out.
Ayumu hesitated, "Uh, yeah...sure." He said, heading into the kitchen for the next two hours.
"Make sure you make some garlic bread, too!" Ryoko called after him.
"Okay." Was his reply.
Kalelle sympathized with his boyfriend, "Maybe I should go help him."
He started to get up, before Kanone yanked him back down into a sitting position, "Oh, no you don't." He said, "We both know that you didn't get the cooking skills of the family."
Kalelle was about to object, but realized he had no arguement; Kanone was right, "Well, then you go help him. At least make your own food."
Kanone smirked, "He's the one who offered."
Kalelle glared at him, "You're evil." He informed the younger one.
Kanone considered this, "I thought that was you." He said, feigning confusion.
Sighing, Kalelle shook his head, "Impossible." He said before standing.
"Okay, I know that's you." Kanone said, still smirking, "Where are you going?" He asked, hoping to intervene if the kitchen was his brother's answer.
"To take a shower." Kalelle informed him, before disappearing into the bathroom.
"Didn't you just take a shower before you came here?" Kanone called to him, his confusion real this time.
Kalelle's head peaked out of the bathroom, a grin on his face, "Doesn't mean I got clean."

Well, alpha, there's the answer to one of your questions. Poor Ayumu, those Blade Children sure are demanding. So, it's official; they're going to England! Where in England, I don't know quite yet. I think London is too comercial, so I'll try to find a place that's a little less known. By the way, all the other palces I listed (Ireland, Antartica, and Germany) are all places I want to visit/live in. And I'm, like, 1/4 Irish, so I wasn't trying to offend anyone with the drunk comment. As soon as I can speak enough german, though, I'm going to Germany! That's the plan, anyway...reivew!
