He moved like water. The way every movement that his body made moved so smoothly, with such precision, it was almost mind blowing. For a man of his height, such grace was surprising. He was responding to his invisible opponent. He could almost feel another sword being thrusted at him, and there was his opening. He performed a debana-waza* perfectly, using the opponent's own distraction; he dodged left and swung the sword before his body hit the ground, slicing his rival with a fatal hit. His imaginary foe fell to the ground and Kanda couldn't deny the rush he got from defeating an enemy, real or not.

Chest heaving and sweat running down his body, he decided that he had trained enough for the night. With that decided, he headed off for a bath to sooth his aching muscles before going back to the training room to have his habitual meditation before bed.

He heard the door slide open and didn't even have to open his eyes to know who had entered. No one was stupid enough to enter that room while Kanda was using it, not even that baka usagi or the moyashi. Who would enter a room while a worked up Kanda was swinging his katana around?

However, as of late, Lenalee had been showing up during his meditation period to join him. It was better than the rabbit or the beansprout. Lenalee, he could tolerate. She wasn't half as annoying as the other idiot exorcists that ran around the Order, doing what they could to irritate him. He cringed just thinking about it, hearing Lavi in his head, "Yu!~ "

Lenalee had sat next to him, mimicking his lotus* position on a matching black zabuton*. They sat silently for several minutes, Kanda losing himself to a field of Lotus flowers, and Lenalee to a home with no one but her nii-san*. It was Lenalee's favorite dream. Of course, she had learned to love the Order as her home, with a large family of siblings that she had grown to love as if they biological. But that didn't keep the dreams away. She couldn't deny how badly she wanted to be tucked away in a home with her big brother, just the two of them, no Innocence, no Exorcists, no war, no nothing. He would read her stories and tuck her in, and she would be up bright and early to make his coffee before he went off to work. That's what she wanted it to be, but she knew it was something she could never have.

Kanda on the other hand was lost in a field of Lotus flowers. Every time he closed his eyes he would become surrounded by them. It was like he couldn't escape the damned flowers; even when his eyes were open, he saw those pink things everywhere. He could feel them if he reached out to touch them as well. He knew they weren't there, his elders at the Order had told him that a hundred times, but he couldn't help but think they were real, given how real they looked, smelled, and felt.

He finally opened his eyes when he sensed Lenalee getting up next to him. "Kanda-kun," She started, holding out her hand to help him up, sighing when he ignored it and stood on his own. "Go rest. You deserve it." She smiled warmly.

He nodded and grumbled something before heading off to his room. He would never admit it, but he liked Lenalee's company.

Lenalee's sleep was anything but peaceful. It had been that way for weeks. Her dreams had turned to nightmares, plagued with terrifyingly real scenes of everyone she loved being killed by the damn clan of Noah. And lately, Kanda was the center of those. In her dreams she would just be walking, her feet bleeding, and she would trip over something hard, falling to her hands and knees. When she would turn, she would see Kanda's corpse before her. His body would be cracked all over like stone, his eyes wide with shock, and it hurt Lenalee's heart. She couldn't bear to lose anyone in her family. It hurt too much. She had to protect them all.

The sword-wielding exorcist nearly growled when there was a knock on his door. He had an hour before he was shipped out to Russia for a mission, why couldn't he have some quiet, alone time? After all, he was going to be stuck with that damned moyashi and the baka usagi for the entire trip. At least Lenalee would be there, and she was Kanda's only hope of making it through the mission without killing the other two boys.

After nearly ripping the door off of its hinges by opening it as harshly as he did, Kanda sighed. It was Lenalee, with the tray that she used to bring the Science Division their coffee. All that was placed on the tray was a dark blue mug, steam being emitted from the liquid inside. "Kanda-kun," A little bit of pink speckled her cheeks when she noticed his shirtless state, though she managed to catch herself quickly. "I brought you some tea to have before we leave." She smiled, thrusting the tray out towards him.

He grumbled his thanks, a bit surprised, before reaching out for the mug. He sipped, experimentally, before taking a larger gulp, much to Lenalee's delight.
