Alright, I'm vowing right now to not sleep until all my fics have been updated! I have this one, Surrender To Me, Fond Memories, One In A Million, and Colors of the Spiraling Rainbow. (sweatdrops)...umm...right...enjoy!

Polaris18: Well, for the drama, of course! And let me ask you something: do you honestly think that when I thought up Kalelle, I was planning on killing him? Do you think I plan things out or something? This is me we're talking about here. I didn't get the idea until I was writing it out! Lol, thanks for reviewing!

CeTe: Whoo, I made someone cry! At least now I don't feel like an idiot for crying (it was just a little, though...). Can you think of a way that no one could have died in that situation? Thanks for reviewing!

Answer: The quote was from Kanone to Madoka. The episode was The Man in the High Castle.

Points: CeTe:6

"Kalelle." Kanone whispered, staring off into space. He knew he wasn't coping well with his brother's death. It had been a week since that horrible night, and the only thing on his mind was his older twin.

Eyes and Ayumu observed the depressed boy from the kitchen, where Ayumu was attempting to make dinner, "I'm worried about him." the Blade Child stated.

"It's only been a week." Ayumu came to Kanone's defense, "I can't get over it, either." He stared at the counter, "I miss him so much." he whispered.

"I wasn't talking about that." Eyes informed him, dragging his gaze from Kanone to turn it on Ayumu, "I meant that I know Kanone, as do you. He won't take this lying down."

"Once he breaks out of his depression, he'll want revenge." Ayumu concluded. Though, he wasn't sure he could blame his ex; he wanted revenge as well. He sighed as he turned the stove off, "Dinner's ready." he informed anyone who was listening.

Kanone jumped slightly as Travis bounced into his lap, a smile on his face, "You hungry?"

Kanone weakly shook his head, "No, thanks, cutie." he said, patting the small, silver head.

Travis frowned slightly, "It's chicken." he offered, "Isn't that your favorite?"

Kanone swallowed hard as he felt tears burn his eyes once more. It seemed that was all he was doing lately, fighting back his tears, "That was Kalelle." he softly corrected the young Blade Child.

Travis could have kicked himself, "Sorry." he said, quickly. Seeing that Kanone was once again lost in his thoughts, Travis sighed and nuzzled his head under the older boy's neck, settling into the arms that had wrapped around him.

Eyes smirked and took a seat next to his boyfriend and brother, "Travis, why don't you go get some dinner?" he suggested.

The youngest member of the house was about to object when he saw the look in his brother's eyes, "Sure." he agreed, hoping off of Kanone's lap and joining Ayumu in the kitchen.

"Kanone?" the soft, british accent floated through the air as a pale hand came to rest on said boy's thigh, "Can we talk for a moment? he asked, "In private." he added as an afterthought.

Kanone smirked at the attempt, "I'm not in the mood." he informed his lover.

Eyes chuckled slightly, "He's not completely gone." he thought, "I actually wanted to speak with you." he assured Kanone as he stood and motioned towards their bedroom. After hesitating for a second, Kanone rose to his feet and followed the Blade Child into their bedroom.

"What is it that you wanted to talk about?" he wondered as he shut the door.

"I just wanted to make sure you were okay." Eyes told him, pulling him into a hug, "I know you're hurt right now, but I don't want you to do anything foolish."

Kanone studied the azure orbs for a moment before smiling, "Well, we were planning on killing the Hunters eventually anyway, right? This is just extra motivation for me."

Eyes saw right through the fake smile and frowned, "Don't lie to me, Kanone." he ordered, "I know..."

"No." Kanone cut him off, breaking out of the hug, "You really don't, Eyes. You still have your brother, don't you?" He looked away as a single tear slid down his cheek, "Kalelle and I were always together until he left. When I saw him again after all those years...I couldn't take it being seperated again." he sighed and looked back up to Eyes, "You never even knew of Travis until you found him, and then you got him practically the next day. I only hope you two are never seperated like Kalelle and I were... or are." he took a seat on the bed, blinking back the tears.

"Kanone..." Eyes couldn't pity the boy more right now as he sat down next to him and pulled him into another hug, "Kalelle might be gone, but you still have me. The others are all here for you, too."

Kanone smiled faintly, "I know, but I feel horrible. It's true I lost a brother, but I still have you. Ayumu...he's got no one else that he's close with."

Eyes kissed Kanone's temple, "He has you." he reminded the brunette, "Remember, he loved you before he and Kalelle ever got together, and I know he still has those feelings."

"I suppose you're right about that." he agreed, "Thank you."

Eyes kissed him gently, "Any time."

Back out in the dining room, Kanone hesitated as he saw a small, silver-headed, human-shaped, moster devouring the chicken on his plate. Eyes snickered as he saw his littler brother tear through the dead bird, "Travis?" he asked, tentively.

"That's not a Travis." Ayumu commented from his place on the opposite side of the table, "It's a Travis-shaped chicken-destroyer."

Said mangler glanced up at the three smirking teens, "What?" he asked, a piece of chicken dropping from his mouth.

"Mind your manners." Eyes told him, keeping in the laugh, "Don't talk with food in your mouth."

Travis quickly chewed and swallowed the food in his mouth, "Sorry."

Eyes took a seat next to him and kissed the top of his head, "It's alright. Try to slow down, though, you'll choke."

"I don't want to choke." Travis said, frowning and taking another, smaller bite.

Kanone had been smiling while he heard the two brothers talking, and glanced to Ayumu, "How are you holding up?"

The brunette smiled, sadly, and shrugged, "I thought I'd be okay, I really did." he whispered, "But...I can't get that image out of my head."

Kanone frowned, "Image?" he wondered.

"The last time he looked at me." Ayumu explained, "He smiled so sadly; I had never seen anything like it before. I knew then what he was going to do, even though I couldn't hear the conversation. I knew..." he trailed off, closing his eyes, "I couldn't do anything. I was completely useless." He cursed the tears that slipped down his cheeks.

Kanone's frown deepened, "I'm worse than you are. I was standing right in front of him and couldn't do anything. I feel like it's all my fault. If only he had just taken Travis..."

"Then you would be dead, and that would be better?" Ayumu demanded, "Why did anyone have to die?"

"Life is full of death. Those who realize that are the only ones who can truly live."

Brown eyes glanced up to meet olive ones, "Life is full of death." he agreed, "And I know the next people that are going to realize that truth the hard way."

"Nik?" Rio asked, glancing up to her companion. The two had long ago finished dinner and Nik had offered to walk her home.

"Yeah?" came the response from the blue-eyed boy.

"Do you know anything?" she wondered, "About the Hunter's plans, I mean?"

Nik glanced to the small girl at his side, "No." he said, simply, "At least, not that you need to know about." he thought. He hoped that the others were done with whatever they were planning on doing with the Blade Chlidren, Ayumu, and the twins. He didn't know what they had planned, Turner had refused to tell him. He assumed this was because the oldest Hunter was suspicious of his ties with Rio, though Nik had assured him over and over again that he was only doing his job, and unlike other Hunters (coughKanonecough), he wouldn't fail and grow too attached.

So far, he had kept true to that promise. He did like Rio, she was a sweet enough girl, but his job came first and foremost. Besides, being a Hunter wasn't just saying you wanted the Blade Children exterminated, it was actually wanting such a thing. As Rio was now, he had no problem with her, but he refused to let himself forget her fate. She was a cursed child, and in the end, would only bring death and destruction upon those closest to her; all the Blade Children would. So, he stayed close to her, but never too close, never close enough to make the same mistake that had sealed Kanone's fate.

Ooh, bad Nik! Decieving Rio like that...that's Kanone's job! Though, right now his job is being a little wuss...that was mean. Alright, I take it back! Sorry if this is a bit on the short side...heh, but the next chappy will be up soon (I know it's been, like, 3 days...). I guess that's all...review!
