Fond Memories

Wow, I didn\'t realize it had been two days since I updated this. Well, here\'s the next chappy, and I\'ll try to remember to put the next one up tomorrow. Enjoy!

Kitty-N: I\'m sure you\'re right, I should just be grateful that people like my fic. I\'m glad I didn\'t make it too sappy, I usually mix my sappiness with a bit of torture and pain (mostly on Eyes\' part). Heh, I am the master of cliffhangers, I swear I think nearly every chapter ends in one. I don\'t plan on it being that way, it just kind of happens. Most of them aren\'t too bad though...Well, thanks for reviewing!

Eyes was shaking in Kanone\'s arms at the sight of his father there, so close. Kanone knew exactly why and held Eyes even tighter, glaring daggers at the bastard that dared to call himself Eyes\' father. The doctor, however, seemed convinced by this; he really just wanted to be done with the whole lot of them. The second most evil man in that room nodded to the most evil man in the world, \"Okay, sir. If you will just sign this form, I can release Eyes into your care.\"
John nodded and signed the paper then after the doctor left walked as close to Eyes as he dared to get, seeing the glares he was getting from everyone, \"Well, son. Let\'s get home. You need to cook dinner.\"
Eyes just stared at him dumbfounded and found himself obeying and getting up to follow his father; he didn\'t know what else to do, he had learned long ago not to disobey the man. Kanone would not stand for this at all and pulled Eyes back to him, \"Eyes, ther\'s no way you\'re going with him. I\'m not letting you go; not to social services and most definitely not to that man.\"
John heard this and turned around, \"We should talk outside.\" With that he turned and left.
Kanone was all for staying until Eyes tugged on his sleeve, turning the boy\'s attention to his boyfriend, \"Kanone, I want to leave. I hate this place and I don\'t want to stay here. And I know you won\'t let my father take me.\" Eyes knew this all too well, especailly if the others were with them; his father knew that Eyes was a Blade Child and he was terrified of that fact. He beat and raped Eyes out of fear, it seemed to work because it shut Eyes up and the gentle boy never made a move against his father. But with all of the other Blade Children beside him, Eyes knew that there was no way his father would take him; no way he could take him.
Kanone had nodded in response to Eyes\' request and had told the others they were going, but under no circumstances were they to let Eyes leave with his father. The others nodded in agreement and they went outside. When they walked out the doors into the bright sunlight they all blinked for a second until the little red spots went away and they saw the bastard leaning against the wall of the hospital. He saw Kanone and Eyes walking hand in hand and glared at the sight, \"Cut that out boy, no son of mine is going to be a fag.\"
Eyes winced at the tone and tried to unlace his figners from Kanone\'s, but Kanone just squeezed their fingers tighter together and kissed Eyes\' temple, \"You don\'t have to listen to him. Remember, he can\'t hurt you while I\'m here.\" Eyes nodded and relaxed.
This angered his father and he walked up to Kanone, eyeing him up and down, \"And who the hell are you to tell my son what he can and can\'t do? I\'m the only one with that kind of authority. Certainly not some...kid.\"
Kanone glared at the man again, \"I am Eyes\' boyfriend, and while you have been absent from his life, which was very peaceful until you came back, I have been taking care of him. And for your information, I have never told Eyes to do or not do anything, I\'m merely letting him know that he has other options than to listen to someone who doesn\'t deserve a second glance from him.\"
\"And what exactly does that mean?\" Said bastard asked.
Kanone smirked, \"I meant exactly what I said. A man who beats and rapes his own son doesn\'t deserve a second glance from him, let alone the respect that Eyes fakes for your sake. You\'ve frightened him into submission, but I won\'t allow you to torture him anymore.\"
Kousuke gasped as he realized what Kanone had just said. He then turned to John, \"You...you did what to him? You sick son of a...\"
John just laughed, \"You have no idea why I did those things to Eyes. If you knew his little secret...\" He smirked knowingly at Eyes, confident that he had the boy right where he wanted him.
\"What secret mgiht that be? I\'m pretty sure I know everything possible about my boyfriend.\" Kanone said possessively, wrapping an arm around said boy. Kanone thought through all of Eyes\' secrets that he knew and that he knew his father would know. He could only think of one that he could blackmail Eyes with, \"Wait,\" Kanone said with a chuckle, \"you don\'t mean the fact that Eyes is one of the Blade Children?\"
This caught John offguard, \"But...how did you know? Eyes told you...but why...how could you accept him, he\'s disgusting!\" The man became angered again.
This time it was Rio to put fear and hesitation into him, \"My name is Rio Takeuchi, and I am one of the Blade Children.\"
Ryoko smiled and stepped up next, \"I\'m Ryoko Takamachi, and I\'m one of the Blade Children, too.\"
Kousuke saw the pattern and smirked at John, \"Yo. I\'m Kousuke Asazuki, and I\'m a Blade Child.\"
Kanone smiled at his friends, glad that they were here to help him put this jerk in his place, \"Obviously I\'m one of the Blade Children as well. My name is Kanone Hilbert.\" This name got John\'s attention, he had heard of Kanone before and now looked at the others. He realized that they were all indeed the Blade Children. Fear struck him senseless and his eyes widened. He took one more look at his son and turned, striding away from the group as quickly as possible while still trying to keep his dignity. Kanone smirked at the fleeing form and turned to Eyes, \"Are you okay?\"
Eyes nodded and turned to his friends, \"Thank you all. I...\"
Rio smiled and walked up to Eyes, hugging him, \"You don\'t have to thank us, Eyes. You\'re our friend and we love you, we know you would do the same for us.\"
Eyes nodded and hugged Rio back briefly, before letting her go and taking his place back in Kanone\'s arms, \"I want to go home.\"
Kanone nodded and then realized that they had no home, \"We\'ll have to find somewhere else to stay until I can contact the insurance agency.\" The others nodded and Ryoko suggested that they continue to stay in the same hotel that they were already in. Kanone agreed and they headed to the Crucible (lovely name for a hotel, no?). When they arrived Rio and Ryoko headed to their room that they had already payed for and Kousuke did the same (different rooms for obvious reasons). Kanone and Eyes decided to get their own room and when they reached the desk the receptionist informed them that the only room that was available was the honeymoon suite. Kanone grinned and pulled Eyes closer, \"That\'s perfect.\"

Hmmm...this one is kind of short. Well, I\'ll make sure to put up another one tomorrow so you all can get your spiral fic fix. Unless you\'re getting it elsewhere... are you? If you are, can you tell me where?
