Words like violence Break the silence
Come crashing in Into my little world
Painful to me Pierce right through me
Can't you understand Oh my little girl
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm

A year had gone by sense Ayame's and Kanone's first encounter. Kanone had managed to mold their relationship into that of a friendship. For he knew if it were to be more he would be putting the young girl in danger. Kanone was now just getting off the plane that had taken him back home. He lost to Ayumu, but within doing so he understood the meaning of Kiyotaka's words. While he was in japan Ayame had insisted on keeping in contact with Kanone. Though Ayame did not know the real reason why Kanone went there, he had told her it was to see some family relatives. Walking through the airport to get to the exit he spotted Ayame impatiently waiting at the door.
Once Kanone got closer he noticed that Ayame had gotten…more feminine. He was actually baffled at how a thirteen year old girl could change so much in one year.
"You're back." She half way yelled jumping in his arms. Thankfully Ayame was tiny otherwise she might have knocked him over.
"So when did you start wearing dresses?" He asked looking at her.
"What I can't be somewhat girlish?" She asked grumbling. Here she was trying to impress Kanone and all she got was a puzzling look. Kanone looked at her not sure what to say. Talking about her looks was like walking in a mine field, one wrong step, and boom.
"I was just curious." He said slowly and carefully.
Thankfully she changed the subject and asked him all sorts of questions. Her constant questions would normally annoy him at times, but right now her curiosity made him realize how much he missed her. He had missed her soft voice, her outgoing personality, her long red hair, but most of all he had missed her enchanting hypnotic blue eyes. They reminded him of the Lapis Lazuli stone; bright, but endlessly deep.
Suddenly Kanone noticed the sound of footsteps attempting to stay in rhythm with his and Ayame's. He frowned, wondering if the hunter would be bold enough to act. Kanone mentally cussed at himself. He had to take some kind of detour for if planned on taking the normal route to his house Ayame would be left to walk home be herself.
He wasn't worried about not having a weapon, for he didn't have to have one to kill someone. Quickly he began to form a plan in his mind, he knew of a detour that he could take so Ayame would be the one to get home first. The only problem was he didn't know how bold or impatient this hunter was. Kanone once again mentally cussed himself out for Ayame had realized someone was following them and silently asked if he thought the same.
"Just keep walking and don't look back." He said.
Ayame studied Kanone this was the first time she had seen this look on his face. He was on edge. Ayame wanted to look back again, but felt Kanone gaze at her from the corner of his eye to make sure she wouldn't do so.
"What's going on?" She asked.
"Ayame please be quiet, do what I say, and whatever you do don't look back." He said
Ayame looked at him with a mixture of worry and curiousness. She was only worried because she had never seen the look of desperation on his face to this extent. She then felt Kanone grab her hand and pull her to the right. They were on a different street. She wasn't sure what he was up too at first, but after giving it some thought she realized Kanone was attempting to make it were she would be the first to arrive home so he could presumably deal with whatever was going on.
Kanone heard the sound of a train coming, instantly he ran pulling Ayame with him. This made the hunter pull a gun out and run at them while shooting at them. Luckily they got across just in time for the train to separate them from the hunter. Instantly Kanone grabbed Ayame by the waist and jumped onto one of the carts of the train which soon entered the depot. Before they had any time to catch their breath another round of shots were fired. Kanone jerked Ayame in the depots office as more shots were fired. Glass from the window showered down onto Ayame and Kanone. Kanone mentally began to cuss himself out again.
"Kanone what's going on?" Ayame whimpered out in fear.
Even though she was strong willed and knew things most girl her age didn't, Ayame was still a child. A child scared for her life just like any other child would be. Kanone pulled Ayame into him telling her not to move until told do so. Luckily Ayame was small for her age otherwise what he wouldn't work. Holding Ayame in one arm he grabbed a decent size shard of glass and ran out from behind the wall. The moment he was out he threw the shard of glass at the hunter who instinctively threw his arms to protect his face.
Within that spilt moment he threw Kanone threw Ayame behind some crates. The hunter pulled out the shard of glass out of his arm and looked up only to see kanone face to face with him. Quickly Kanone grabbed the hand that contained the gun and side swiped the hunter while taking the gun. After that he shot the hunter in the head at point blank range.
Ayame jumped at the sound of hearing the gun go off again. Kanone didn't have a gun, did he? She thought. Ayame looked around the crates to see Kanone standing above the man. Ayame was speechless; she couldn't believe that Kanone had killed someone. Turning around Kanone's eyes no longer held the softness and kindness she was used to. They were cold and hard. She didn't want admit it, but she was scared of him. Kanone began to walk towards her, it had taken all of Ayame's will power to not back away from him.
"You're scared of me." He stated.
She wanted to say no, but Ayame knew he would call her out on it. So she let a small yes slip from her lips thinking his statement was a question.
"That won't…Stop me from loving you thought." She continued.
Kanone was about to say something until he noticed the sick look on her face. Ayame felt light headed, before she could say anything though darkness had consumed her.
Ayame eyes fluttered open, her head was pounding. Looking around she noticed she was in a bedroom. She then stood up but instantly sat down due to the immense pain her head felt. Hearing the door open she instantly looked up to see Kanone with a glass of water in on hand and a bottle of aspirin in the other.
"How are you feeling?" He asked.
"Fine, I guess." She said.
Kanone sat next to her and handed her some of the aspirin and the glass of water. Ayame quickly took the aspirin and hand the empty glass back to Kanone. Looking down at her Kanone had finally made up his mind.
"Ayame I don't want you near me ever again." He said.
"What? Why?" She shrieked.
Kanone looked at Ayame her stubborn innocence was no longer that it was just plain stupidity. He couldn't understand how someone her age wasn't terrified of him.
"Ayame I killed someone in cold blood." He stated.
"I know, but that's not going to make stay away from you and stop loving you." She said looking up at him.
"Ayame…You're fourteen years old. You can't possibly tell the difference from being in love with someone to having a crush on someone." He said irritated.
"I don't know what love is, but…I know I love you." She said.
"Damn it Ayame are you listening to yourself! Are you listening to me! I've killed people! I've probably killed close to one hundred people!" He yelled standing up and throwing the glass on the ground making it shatter into tiny pieces.
Her stubbornness was angering him. He couldn't understand how the mind of fourteen year old girls worked, but he was certain it didn't work the way Ayame's was right now. Instantly Kanone stopped and stood still for a moment or two. He then pinned Ayame down onto the bed and loomed over her. His eyes held anything but positive emotions.
"What if I killed everyone at the orphanage? Would you love me then?" He asked.
"You wouldn't." Ayame said.
"Really? What's stopping me from dragging you by the hair to the orphanage to make you watch me slaughter every single person there?" Kanone questioned.
"You can't because I would say you were the one who did it." Ayame said with a hint of uncertainty in her voice.
"You sure? What would stop me from sealing your lips afterwards?" He retorted.
"What would be the point of making me not love you then? If you killed me I would die loving you. Besides you can't kill me you care about me too much." She said her voice full of uncertainty of her logic.
Kanone gave her the deer-in-the-headlights-look. Her logic was pretty much flawless. He then frowned he didn't and wouldn't be beaten by a fourteen year olds logical guess. No matter how much sense it made.
"I may not be able to kill you, but…what if I hurt you?" He said desperate to win the mind game he had started.
"You care too much about me you won't do it." She said looking up at him.
Kanone wanted to prove her wrong and he knew that proving her wrong would be the only way to keep her away from him. He didn't want to do it though he wanted another way to do so.
"See you can't…do it." Ayame stated.
Kanone frowned for a moment then squeezed Ayame's forearms and muffled her yelp by kissing her roughly, so roughly to the point that it hurt her and knew her lips would probably swell here in a few minutes. He also knew her arms would be lightly bruised or at least hurt to the touch. After what seemed like an eternity he drew away panting.
"Do you still love me?" He asked impatiently.
"Yes, I still…love you." Ayame said gasping for air.
Kanone sighed in defeat and got off of her. Sitting beside her he put his head in his hands. He was angry and upset with Ayame's stubbornness. She had no idea what she was getting into, what kind of danger she was putting herself in. Ayame then rose up and wrapped her arms around him and buried her face in his chest. Once again Kanone sighed in defeat and did the one thing he swore on his life that he would never do again. Lightly tugging her hair to make her look at him he placed a soft passionate kiss on her lips.
Ayame relaxed into the kiss it wasn't like the first time. The first time I was a quick soft peck but this time it was full of love. Pulling away Kanone then began to kiss and nip at Ayame's neck making her gasp and run her fingers through his brown hair. Kanone then went back to her lips kissing her more fiercely, while doing so he slide his hand up the back of her shirt and lightly ran his fingers down her spin making her gasp once again
Taking advantage of the situation sliding his tongue into her mouth he explored every inch of it. Minutes went by and the two pulled apart gasping for air. After regulating there breathing Kanone just sat there and held Ayame as close to him as possible. He couldn't deny it any more he had to admit it to himself he was in love with Ayame she in love with him, but he still didn't want her involved.
"Ayame…please listen." Kanone said with tire in his voice suddenly.
"You're going to ruin the moment so just shut up and hold me." Ayame said annoyed.
Kanone sat there for moment looking at her and probably for the fourth he sighed in defeat again then stated clearly that they would have to talk about it again sooner or later, but for now both laid in one another's arms and enjoyed the silence.
