Okay, so basically, I've been writing these random KandaxLenalee drabbles for 1 year now, and I'm pretty happy with these drabbles. To be honest, not so much with the first few, up until the 5th chapter, so I believe a re-written version of drabble #'s 2-4 are in dire need of grammar and such adjustments. I'll get to these changes as soon as I can.

I hope that these drabbles will help the lack of KandaxLenalee stories on this site, because honestly, this pairing needs some love, and I'm gonna give it. :) So join me on this drabble series, and we'll see how far we can get.

Disclaimer- Characters and -Man belong to Hoshino Katsura, no profit was made in writting these drabbles.

It had seemed as though they could have made it to the town. They could have continued and been done at last, but no, they had been tired and to his dismay it began to rain. It wasn't just your typical rain, more or so hard pelting rain that just so happened to be accompanied by hail.

Just his luck.

He was aggravated, tired, and hungry. That mix was never good. But he kept on moving, heading towards his destination. He himself wasn't the only one that had been miserable as he noted once he turned to see that Lenalee was limping, and had also looked tired.

It was no surprise, really. They had just finished a battle with a few Akuma, and she must have gotten hurt while fighting. It was an inevitable type of thing- injury.

He couldn't help but keep looking back while still walking straight to the town that they would report that there was no innocence via the telephone to Komui. They had gone through all that for a battle with Akuma and no innocence. He halted, and walked back towards Lenalee. She was quite and that smile that would annoy him to no end was nowhere to be seen.

Something more than a simple injury was wrong.

"What's wrong, Lenalee?" He asked. The rain had begun to worsen; it got so bad that you could hear the rain pounding to the ground as if it were a boulder smashing to the ground.

"Oh, it's nothing Kanda." She forced a smile on her face. Kanda traced down to her dark boots. Oddly enough he noted blood dripping from her right leg. How exactly did that go unnoticed by him?

"You're not very good at lying; does it hurt?" He bent down and wiped some blood off with his hand, quickly realizing that his question was a stupid one. She was bleeding, of course it hurt!

Where the blood had been it looked like a deep cut, possibly when she used her innocence. He recalled that while the fight was going on, a few branches had been close to her, accidently smashing her leg.

She grunted in pain, "Kanda, just ignore it. It's nothing to worry about. Besides, we have to get to the town." She didn't want to be the cause of them stuck in the harsh rain. She glanced at her leg, and then quickly looked away. Maybe if she didn't look at it, it wouldn't hurt so much.

Yeah, right. It still hurt as bad.

Kanda looked around for closer shelter. He didn't like the way that her cut looked. Oddly enough he felt as though it was in a way his fault. Damn the Order for not letting him go on the mission himself. They all acted as if he couldn't handle it on his own.

There was nothing around them but trees. He needed to get her and himself to shelter. From the look of the sky, a storm was headed their way. As in, the weather was going to get worse than it already was.

"Can you still walk?" after he asked, he recalled that she was limping before. That was the second time he asked a question that could clearly be answered by observation.

"Yeah, I can move Kanda. Let's just get going before the rain gets even worse." Lenalee began limping ahead of Kanda, suddenly thinking that it wasn't as if Kanda actually cared.

Kanda silently followed. She didn't look as though she could get there without some help. He was never one to worry, and thought of this as pity. Of course he didn't really care. Well, at least that's what he tried to convince himself into thinking.

He stayed behind her, making sure that she'd stay on her feet. He found himself examining her. She was shivering, and limping. The exorcist uniform didn't help much to keep her warm and that was the final straw.

He, Kanda Yuu, did what he thought that he should.

Kanda took his exorcist coat off and placed it on Lenalee's shoulders. She was surprised at his action, but even more surprised when he lifted her up, straight off the ground.

"Kanda put me down, I can walk!" Her eyes widened in the shock. It was unbelievable, a dream maybe?

The hail became stronger, causing Kanda to furrow his brow; the damned weather had truly been against him. He ignored her pleading of putting her down; it was obvious that she couldn't walk properly.

She looked at Kanda; all that he had on were bandages on his chest. "Kanda please, take your coat, its freezing!" She was worried; she didn't want him to get sick. It didn't matter what happened to her, she felt that so long as he was okay, she would be too.

He finally decided to stop ignoring her, "Che' I'm fine. It's nothing that I can't handle." He paused, "You think of me as that weak?"

She kept quiet, of course she didn't think of him as weak! She thought of him as the exact opposite of weak. They continued to be silent as Kanda made his way to the town.

Lenalee turned away from Kanda and stared the other way. The town was up ahead; a few feet away, and oddly enough, it felt as though she was arriving to a kingdom, her knight taking her to her castle…

They made it to the inn they were staying at, Kanda and Lenalee both immediately changing- separately, of course.

He knocked on the restroom door, and came in, realizing that Lenalee had finished changing, luckily. Without saying a word, he picked her up and placed her on her bed.

"Wh-"she wanted to say something but was cut off by Kanda.

"Shut up and rest."

"But your coat, don't you want it back?" she looked back at the restroom she had left it in.

"Leave it there until tomorrow; we'll go to the hospital when they open for your leg, so go to sleep." He walked to his side of the room and sat on his bed while drying his hair with a towel.

After he had finished doing so, he noted that Lenalee was looking at him. "What?" He snapped at her.

"Oh, nothing!" She smiled. The pain from her leg had left since they got to the inn.

"Che'" He lay on his bed and turned away from Lenalee. He didn't like that smile. At least that was what he wanted her to think.

"Thanks Kanda." She wrapped the cover around herself and drifted off into a slumber; the smile remaining on her face.

Kanda stared at the wall; a small smile appeared on his lips as well and silently mumbled "You're welcome."

Then fell into a much needed rest he deserved.
