I'm over it
You see I'm falling in the black abyss
Clouded by memories of the past
At last I see I hear it fading
I can't speak it
Or else you will dig my grave
You feel them finding, always winding
Take my hand now be alive
You see I cannot be forsaken
Because I'm not the only one
We walk amongst you feeding and raping
Must we hide from everyone
I'm over it
Why can't we be together, embrace it
Sleeping so long, taking off the mask
At last I see
I hear it fading
I can't speak it
Or else you will dig my grave
You feel them finding, always winding
Take my hand now be alive
You see I cannot be forsaken
Because I'm not the only one
We walk amongst you feeding and raping
Must we hide from everyone
You see I cannot be forsaken
Because I'm not the only one
We walk amongst you feeding and raping
Must we hide from
Everyone, Everyone, Everyone

Kanone looked at Ayame who was now finally asleep on his couch. He had yet to change his clothes; that were now covered in ash. He had walked Ayame to the corner of her street and five minutes later he began to smell smoke and turned to see the glow of fire from where the orphanage would be. When he arrived there his fears were true. Instantly he had ran inside to go find Ayame. He had made it up to the hallway where her room was and stopped only to see a hunter blocking the only exit from her room and he could hear a terrified Ayame on the other side.
The hunter had no time to acknowledge him, for he briskly walked up behind him and snapped his neck in one swift fluid movement. After that he had managed to move everything that was blocking the exit and open the door only to have Ayame run straight into his arms terrified. He had managed to get out just in time before authorities arrived. Now he was sitting in his living room with Ayame resting her head on his shoulder.
Slowly he picked her up and carried her to his bed and laid her down and began to head back down stairs. Once he got there he looked at Jade for a moment.
"Be loud if anything happens." He told jade who instantly ran up the steps and into Kanone's room.
Making it down the steps he saw Eyes sitting patiently on the couch. Kanone had managed to call Eyes and ask him to come over for him to help with the situation.
"You called." He stated.
"Eyes I need your help." Kanone said desperately.
"It's about the girl in the picture isn't it?" He asked.
Kanone sat down and began to explain what happened to Eyes. There was something in Kanone's tone that he had never heard before. It took him a moment for him to realize what it was, but finally he was able to place it. It was fear, for the first time Eyes had heard fear in Kanone's word, most of all though Eyes was baffled by Kanone's love for this one single girl. He feared that she might end up being the end of him.
"Kanone I can't do it." Eyes said.
"Why not, it won't take long for me to fight most of the hunters off." Kanone replied.
"I won't watch you die, because of her. If you were to die because of her what would you have me do then? You know I would no longer protect her and I would leave her to be killed by other hunters." He said bluntly.
"Eyes she knows nothing about the blade children. Does she know that I've killed? Yes. That she knows, but she knows nothing else." He said his voice showing more desperation.
"If I do take her, what am I to tell her when she begins questioning me about what's going on and who we really are? Should I tell her it's none of her business and hope she doesn't ask again? Or should I tell her and risk having her run off and end partially having her blood on my hands because a hunter got to her before I could?" Eyes said still attempting to not be involved.
"Eyes please just let her stay with you it will only take a week, two weeks at the max." Kanone pleaded.
Eyes looked at Kanone for what seemed like hours debating on if he should answer his friend's plead for help. He didn't want to take care of a twelve year old girl and even if he wanted to he didn't know how. Though it couldn't be much different from taking care of Rio after all she was very immature for her age at times. He sighed at what he was getting himself into, but he couldn't deny his friends plea in the end. Kanone thanked Eyes and began to head back upstairs to wake up Ayame to his dismay for she had just fallen asleep. After a few minutes of gently shaking her she woke up and rose out of bed.
"Ayame I know you're not going to like this but I need you to go with a friend for a while so I can take care of what's going on here so you can be safe." Kanone said as he watched Ayame's face turn from sleepy to being downright confused.
"What's going on Kanone why won't you tell me anything?" She asked.
"Ayame the only thing I can tell you is you're in danger because you're near me. We've established that. I know it's hard to understand but promise me you won't ask any more questions regarding this situation until you come back home." He pleaded.
Reluctantly she agreed and before the both of them knew it she was at the airport in Kanone's arms just before they were boarding the plane. On lookers would take it as a younger sister upset about having to be separated from her older brother for a sort time. And that's what it actually looked like. Eyes stood there watching his best friend embrace the tiny girl. Once again he couldn't believe what he was getting himself into. If Rio or Kousuke were to come over at his house and see a small child there he could only imagine how they would react to his explanation. He could see the unconditional love they both had for one another and to be honest part of him was slightly jealous of the brown hair boy that stood in front of him. He instantly shook it off though not wanting to even admit the emotion he just felt. After another minute or so Kanone watched as his best friend and the girl he loved walked out of sight.
Kanone walked out of the airport heading to his car. His aura and demeanor instantly changed. Many people stayed out of his way. The air surrounding him was laced with anger and lust, a lust for blood. He could not remember when he lusted for blood shed this much then it occurred to him he never had lusted for it. In reality he hated to kill. He hated it when he had to shed blood of others. Even it meant to protect himself he hated the death he brought to others. Out of all the blade children he had the most blood on his hands. He was six when he took another's life. It was aunt's blood that was spilt on his hands. She had come to him with the intent to kill. Instead kanone had killed her. His mother had come in the house from the back yard to see what had happened and stood there with shock to see her son covered in her sister's blood. She had not called the cops, no she had checked to see if he was ok not once paying attention to her dying sister.
Back then kanone did not understand why she did not give her sister any attention. He questioned why his mother hid her sister's body. He questioned why she still showed him affection when she knew what he had done. In the end it simply came down to the fact that she loved him and he was her son. As he got older his mother began to change. She taught him how to fight and the affection for her son was no longer apparent, but he understood. He knew that in the end the curse would consume him and he would become a killing machine and would probably have to be taken down by his own mother and that is why she began to distant herself from him and severe the bond she had with him. So that way when the time came she could take him down without hesitation. Until that time came though he would keep living his life the he was living it. The moment he arrived home everything was dead silent.
The moment he walked into his house he pulled out an AK-74 and began to fire rapidly at three hunters that had tried to swarm him. Knowing that there were more in the house he knew this was going to be a very long night.
Eyes looked at the girl beside him who was staring out of the plane window. He had to admit that for her age she was quite mature and it had seemed that Kanone had managed to convince her to not ask any questions as to why she had leave with someone she had never met. He closely looked at her features. He would admit she was somewhat attractive and mature looking for a girl her age. Her long red hair contrasted with her eerie deep but light blue eyes. When he first looked into them they sent a chill down his spine. He had told Kousuke that he would be in America for a while and hoped that his meaning of awhile was a long time. Even though he knew that Kousuke wouldn't do anything to the girl he did not want to be pestered by the red heads questions if he were to see the small girl.
"Um uh excuse me?" Ayame said snapping Eyes out of his thought.
"What?" He asked in a not so friendly manner expecting for her to ask questions.
"I'm well uh sort of hungry." She said looking up at him blinking.
Eyes let out a sigh, the girl had eaten not only 3 hours ago and also when they bored the plane which was two hours before that. He had no idea how someone as tiny as her could eat so much and wondered where it went because not once had she gotten up to use the bathroom. Then he did the one thing he would later on regret doing.
Eyes looked at Ayame from his piano. He was not sure what he did to make the young girl cease to acknowledge him but it was getting on his nerves. He had only agreed to watch her because he thought she was mature acting but clearly she was not, for she was acting like a five year old. Getting up and heading to his room he punched in Kanone's number frustrated. He had yet to call and confirm with Kanone that they had arrived home safely after the third ring eyes was about to hang up until he heard an over cheery Kanone answer the phone ,which usually meant he had just recently done something serious.
"Only calling to tell you everything went smooth." Eyes said irritated.
"That's good but it obvious something is bugging you what is it?" Kanone said. "Is she too much to handle?" He continued.
Eyes tightened his jaw. He knew what happened. Otherwise he would not have asked him such a question. Eyes then remembered that he had seen Ayame on her cell phone appearing to text someone. Eyes had told her it wasn't a good idea to do so or better yet trying to say don't do it because you'll get yourself killed. It was clear Kanone was enjoying Eyes's struggle with the young girl for he merely stayed silent till eyes spoke again.
"In lighten me on what I have done wrong." Eyes said his patients with both of the two running very thin.
"You called her fat. Say sorry." Kanone said bluntly.
"I did no such thing." Eyes said darkly.
"Technically you did." Kanone argued.
"I did not." Eyes countered making sure not to sound like a child.
"Eyes no offense you may have the looks but you don't know how to talk to the opposite sex. Just say sorry, if you don't then well I guess she won't be talking to you unless she has to." Kanone said.
Kanone's comment hit straight to home. True the two never talked much about women but when they did it always involved Kanone leaving a wide hole into Eyes's ego. Which drove the blue eyed boy nuts; because he knew Kanone would do it on purpose. Eyes was about to counter again until Kanone happily said he had to leave gave him good luck. Eyes slammed the phone back into place and pinched the bridge of his nose. He didn't want to admit but kanone was right Eyes had the looks but in no way shape or form had a way with women like Kanone did. Eyes could practically hear Kanone's childish mocking laugh. Even if eyes wanted to apologize he honestly wasn't good at it. So with what pride he had, he swallowed and walked back into the room. Once in there he saw Ayame looking out the window with a smile on her face. Eyes was curious as to what had sparked Ayame's interest. The blue eyes boy then walked and stood beside her following her gaze to the clouds. Eyes frowned he never understood what was so special about clouds. As if she read his mind Ayame spoke.
"The one I'm looking at looks like a rabbit." She spoke softly. "Why are you so serious? Why not take the time to loosen up and have a little fun?" She continued by asking him.
"Because…I don't have the time." He said trying not to sound bitter.
"Oh I see." She said even though she did not understand.
"I'm sorry." He forced out for the words were foreign to him. "It was not my intention to offend you." He continued.
"It's ok but I have one question." She said.
"Which is?" He asked.
"I don't know the specifics and I won't ask for them because I promised not to ask, but why does Kanone find himself so alone and forsaken?" Ayame asked.
Eyes looked at Ayame from the corner of his eye.(…..It could not be avoided I am sorry… XD) Her choice in vocabulary was interesting. Kanone was not lying when he said Ayame was a very smart girl. Eyes was actually amused with Ayame. In actuality she was not the worst company in the world but she was by far not the best.
"I believe he has always felt that way, even though there are many others like him and I." Eyes said making sure to not say anything too important. "It has probably resurfaced a lot more due to last year. I am sure you are aware he did not go to see family." He said.
"Even before the recent events I found it suspicious, especially when I would ask about a photo of you and him. He would clam up or change the subject." Ayame stated.
Ayame then brought her hand to her mouth and yawned. Even if she was smart she was still a thirteen year old girl. Ayame moved to the couch and laid down on it still looking out the window. Eyes had not realized the girl had left his side until he tuned and seen that she had fallen asleep on the couch. With a sigh he turned the lights off and returned to his room hoping that this issue would be resolved quickly.
Kanone looked out from the beach at a boat that was far out from shore. It had contained the bodies of the hunters who he killed that were in his home. Memories of last night flooded through his mind. Quickly taking out the AK-74 he used to dispatch them he shot the boat engine making it explode and sink to the very depths of the ocean. Though the daunting voice of one the hunters did not leave his head. "She'll be dead before you get there, we might even kill Rutherford for some extra fun."
Kanone then turned on his heel and headed to the airport. Kanone had several thoughts running through his head he couldn't help but think he was the only one in this predicament and probably the only one of his "Kind" that would go through it. Yes, in a way Kanone was forsaken in another way though he was not.
