**Notes**

Hi, this is my first Fan-Fiction...so I'm a little nervous to be posting this story. You should probably know that this is a Yullen, so if you don't like the pairing you then don't read the story and complain about how this pairing wouldn't work. You have been warned.

Disclaimer : I don't own man in any way...if I did Kanda and Allen would be on more missions together. What would they be doing? I'm sure you could imagine it.

Mission Together

A white haired boy looked to the side of him. A man with long raven hair tied up in a high ponytail, glared at him like he was an insect that needed to be destroyed but was far out of reach.

The back haired man was wearing a long coat with red fittings; it bore a symbol on the left side, just under the shoulder. It identified him to be part of a group called the Black Order. With his long black hair and pale skin that covered a well toned body he was seen as a beautiful person...but most but that about the only positive aspect people at the Order could say about him because of his violent attitude.

The man's name was Kanda Yuu, and yet again he was paired with Allen Walker, the one of many people that he couldn't stand let alone spending hours on a train with.

The boy called Allen Walker was to say, very strange in appearance, he had shocking white hair, pale skin, huge grey eyes and a scar running down the side of his left face. Allen was a optimistic sort person and this trait made him loved by pretty much everyone...well except for Kanda but he didn't really like anything or one.

They were both on a train to their next mission together; Koumi thought that they should go on more of these missions together because they both bring good results. It didn't matter that all they did was bicker in the time they were not fighting, Allen often tried to get the samurai to be civil with him but it always ended with them both at each other's necks. The whited boy looked over his mission briefing but nothing made any sense in his head. He looked over at Kanda with a hopeful glance but didn't ask what he was meant to do on this mission because all he saw was the scowl that was plastered on Kanda's face. He sighed and looked at out the window, maybe hell would freeze over and Kanda would gain a pleasant side? Fields of, what Allen thought were, wheat could be seen out the window and they stretched out for miles in every direction. Every so often he would look in Kanda's direction with a kicked puppy dog look.

Kanda had been noticing that the Moyashi had been looking at him with an extremely pathetic look that only he could pull off. At first he was just a bit annoyed but after an hour of having to see the white haired shrimp looking like a lost child, all he wanted to do was shove the small exorcist out of his train carriage.

"Why the hell do you keep looking at me dipshit!?" yes Kanda was agitated and wanted nothing more than to insult Allen with childish names.

He played with Timcampy while asking Kanda what he wanted, "Well, I just wanted to know what we are doing on this mission, I mean this," he held the paper up, "Doesn't say much about the mission." Allen swore he saw Kanda roll his eyes, that jerk, if I die it's his fault for being a bad partner.

"Do you have a brain? Wait, being a Moyashi must have shrunk more than your body size." Kanda smirked, why should he should to baby-sit and tell the stupid Moyashi what to do? It was his fault he chose to sleep during the mission briefing.

Little twitch marks formed on Allen's head; he didn't need to hear all this. "MY NAME IS ALLEN and look can't you just tell me? Mr. Girly ponytail," Allen teased Kanda, clearly invoking an argument that would be regretted later.

NO HE DIDN'T JUST SAY THAT! 'MOYASHI, you are going pay dearly for that!' Kanda threatened, how dare the Moyashi to think that he can get away with anything he wants. He was going to do unsightly things to the Moyashi when he got his hands on him. Also another thing that he realised was that the Moyashi had the faint beginnings of a smile. Did that boy enjoy invoking fights with him? What a twisted kid and he was going to pay for it dearly.

Allen tried to hold back his smile, he shouldn't enjoy having a fight with the older teen but it was all he wanted to do in Kanda's company. It wasn't his fault that he liked to talk to other people and the only way to talk to Kanda was to fight with him.

'I am going to pay for it?' Allen said cutely with his head slightly tilted to the side. 'What are you going to do? Pull that ten metre pole out of your ass so you can move?' Oh yes Allen knew how to pull on Kanda's strings. And if any normal person knew how to use these strings then they would stay out of the teen's sight. A small compartment in a train wasn't the place you wanted to be stuck with a samurai with PMS and a deadly sword.

'.SHI.' Kanda gritted out through his teeth, his hate for the younger boy obvious. He quickly reaching for his sword and swiftly placed it under Allen's neck, slightly pushing it into the skin and drawing blood. 'Want to say that again? Because for your sake you might want to keep your mouth shut,' he whispered.

Kanda's breath could be felt on Allen's skin as he spoke, making him shiver at the danger that was near him. He didn't even realise that Kanda was so close, and now he did, all he wanted to do was get the hell away from what was threatening his life.

'Kanda, I promise not to talk to you if you move Mugen from my face,' he said while little sweat drops formed on his forehead.

Kanda thought about Allen's deal and nodded his head while retreating back to the opposite side of the train compartment, as far away from Allen as he could get.

'One shitty word from your mouth and I will take no mercy out on you, even if you are some destroyer of time.' He had had enough of the kid and didn't want to continue this mission but it was necessary that he didn't kill the Moyashi, stupid Koumi. He spared a glance to see what the kid was doing, just to find that he had disappeared from the spot that he was in. Well it was probably feeding time, it was always feeding time for the Moyashi. And now that he was gone it would mean that Kanda could catch up on some sleep that he hadn't been able to do while the shrimp was making a racket. Yes it would do him good to sleep.

XXxxxXX

Allen, returning from eating his dinner, didn't know what to expect when he went through the door. Maybe Kanda would throw his sword at him, or maybe yell at him, or just ignore his existence all together. He knew one thing, he would much rather have Lavi or Linalee on the other side of the door. Kanda was too much of a jerk for his own good but he was a good exorcist. Not that it made up for his bad attitude or lack of social skills. So he stood outside the door for a good few minutes thinking about different ways that Kanda would insult him or threaten him for making noise.

So when he went into the room and saw Kanda sleeping, he was surprised. He started to wonder if Kanda slept with a scowl on his face like when he was asleep. So being curious as he was, Allen went up to Kanda and sat in front of his face. He felt as if he couldn't leave, the boy in front of him was sleeping with the calmest face he had ever seen on the older teen. Kanda for once in his life looked innocent and just…just…so vulnerable, Allen had was in awe at how different Kanda could look when at peace. His hair was out and flowed partly over his face and shoulders, the ebony locks were free of knots and he wondered how long Kanda took to do his hair, it was always so perfect. He reached his hand out to touch the flawless skin but was stopped by somebody grabbing his hand. Allen started to freak inwardly, he was so dead, and to make matters worse he was going red from embarrassment. Kanda opened his deep blue eyes and Allen could only look at the rage that was in them, his cold blue eyes were on fire.

Kanda had awoken to someone right next to his face; the only person who would do something as stupid as to watch him as he slept was that baka Usagi. But he wasn't anywhere near here. So when he opened his eyes and saw the white haired teen in front of him, he knew that he had to deal with the problem before he had another Lavi on his case.

'Oi freak what are you do-'Kanda started but was interrupted.

'All passengers please prepare to depart from the train. The train will be stopping in Watchet in five minutes. Thank you for travelling with us.' The woman spoke through the speakers, alerting passengers of the final destination and giving Allen an escape route.

'I was waking you up; you did want to get off this train right?' Allen spoke with a fake smile and his head tilted on its side to give him a completely innocent appearance. I hope he didn't know how long I was watching Allen thought, slightly scared of what the unpredictable boy would do. Kanda really didn't need to be provoked.

Kanda grunted at Allen as a reply and slapped his hand away; it was too much for Kanda to look at that face to early in the morning. Lately he had been loafing the younger teen for the affect that he had on him. Kanda had been thinking about how many emotions played on the Moyashi's face, and as soon as his mind started thinking, all his discipline went out the window and he couldn't stop the thoughts from flooding his mind. He hated how he couldn't control his thoughts and it was entirely kid's fault, Allen had planted something in his mind. Did he just call the Moyashi…Allen? What was happening to him? It was like he was having emotions and acting like lovesick teenage girl and Kanda was not a lovesick teenage girl that can't get the thoughts of the boy she likes out of her head. No, he was probably just got a cold or Koumi had slipped one of his concoctions into his untainted green tea. There was no way the he was going to keep his thoughts on the Moyashi's face, he had a mission to do and he really couldn't afford to screw it up.

'Moyashi we're leaving,' he briskly said before quickly exiting the train, fully aware that Allen was pouting at his coldness. Stupid kid was more like a twelve year old girl than a 16 year old boy, what other guy could pull off a pout that looked like a lost puppy?

He desperately wanted to make conversation with Kanda…but it was so hard. How would he stay on Kanda's good side, if he had one, and talk? Allen started to wish that he could catch off guard again, blushing he walked after Kanda. Suddenly Allen's stomach gave out a loud groan, as if begging for food.

"Kanda, we should go and get food, we haven't eaten in six hours!" he couldn't believe that the train had no food service! Now he was starving and would have to eat twice his usual amount. Kanda also had to be hungry, right?

"There is no 'we' only you and your gluttonous stomach," Kanda's words were thick with ice and cut into Allen. "And since you were so lazy and slept through the briefing, you don't know that we have to wait for the bloody finder to arrive, so we can start our mission."

As if hearing that he was in danger, the finder ran up to the two exorcists, he was puffing from over exhaustion. The finder was about Kanda's own age and he had dark brown hair with matching eyes. "Sorry that I am late. I'm your finder that will help you on your mission, my name is Sam," he said while extending his hand to Kanda.

Kanda looked at the hand and ignored it, like it was the black plague or something. "Just tell us what you have to say," the Finder looked at Kanda with a look that said 'oh my god, I can't believe that there would actually be someone this rude living in the same world as me.'

The finder snapped out of his daydreaming thoughts, "S–Sir, there should be another exorcist," the finder was suddenly scared the angry teen had killed his partner. Was it such a farfetched theory?

He looked to the side of him seeing that the Moyashi had indeed disappeared; he cursed the younger boy for delaying the mission. Knowing that the kid would have left to eat, because he only thought with his stomach, Kanda left the spot he was in to search for the root of all of his immediate problems.

"Finder where is the hell as nearest place to eat," Kanda snapped at the brown haired finder.

Sam sighed, he was only a finder and he knew that there was no way he would gain any respect from this exorcist, he could only hope that if his partner turned up, that he would be more polite.

"If you are hungry you can eat at the ho–" Sam tried to explain.

"I don't want to eat the crappy food." They wouldn't have soba anyway Kanda added mentally. "I need to find a stupid Moyashi so I can start my mission."

He thought about what the exorcist said, he had said Moyashi, was that Japanese? Sam couldn't speak Japanese; there weren't many English people that could in the ninetieth century who could. "Sir if you tell me what a 'Moyashi' is, maybe I could get it for you," he offered.

Anger, that was the emotion the Kanda tied together with this finder, he was so stupid that he didn't even know what beansprout meant in Japanese. Who was the idiot who paired him with a cultural illiterate fool? "Just f–"

"Kanda, what are you doing?" Allen appeared out of nowhere and eating (inhaling?) the food that was in his arms. With the time that he was gone, it was possible for Allen to eat a small horse, but that didn't he would eat a horse, other things on the other hand….

"Moya–"

"Allen," he corrected, spitting bits of food while speaking.

Kanda twitched in disgust. "Moyashi is a Moyashi, listen to the f ***ing finder so we can do the mission!" What did the kid think this was? Did he think that this was a holiday because if he thought it wasn't he sure didn't show it.

Allen realised that Kanda and he were not alone; he put his hand out to greet the brown teen. "Hello, my name is Allen," he said kindly.

Well this exorcist is a lot nicer, I don't know how he could stand someone like his partner. "My name is Sam and I will be your finder on this mission."

"Err, Sam, could you brief me on the mission," Allen said a little embarrassed that he didn't know what he was doing in the town of Watchet.

"Yes sir," he looked at the boy called Allen, it seemed he didn't know much about the mission he was on and by the look of it his partner would never explain something that meant helping another person.

"There has been a strange occurrence in the area, which we think might be innocence." He stopped unsure how to phrase the problem. "The main source of money in this town is the iron ore that it mines just outside of town. The town's people mine and ship the iron ore to various places in England, France and Italy." Sam watched as Allen nodded his head, he really didn't know if he was interested as he seemed to be. Kanda just stared at nothing looking angry as ever. "The problem is that the iron ore never makes it to the town, so it can't be shipped off and sold, which means that the townspeople here will starve. It's said that between here and the mine the ore is spirited away leaving only the cart it was in behind. So your job is to find out if this phenomenon has something to do with innocence, it is involved you should collect it and take it back to the Black Order."

"So all we have to do is find what is stealing the iron ore, pathetic," Kanda said. This mission was probably a waste of time, at least now he knew what he was doing.

"Uh Kanda, you yelled at me because I fell asleep and didn't hear the briefing, but you didn't listen either." Allen said confused but a second later changed his expression into an evil sadistic kind of happiness. "So if you weren't paying attention, then you were doing something else. What were you doing Kanda? Do you actually sleep with your eyes open? Is that why you are…a little brain dead?"

He did mention that the kid was twisted to pick a fight with him earlier; truthfully he didn't listen to Koumi during the briefing. All he remembered was walking into the Koumi's room and sitting on the leather lounge, seeing Moyashi glaring at him for a few moments until Koumi told them that they going on another mission together. After a few minutes he became aware that there were light snores coming from the kid, and he saw Allen sleeping, after that all he could think about was him. Koumi must have done something to his mind, if he ever found out that the mad scientist did do something, there would be blood.

Coming out of his thoughts he turned to look at the finder, ignoring Allen completely…he realised that he had also been calling Moyashi, Allen way too much, he hated himself for it.

"Where is the freakin' hotel!?" he demanded to the finder. He saw that it was almost sunset which meant that there wouldn't be much there he could do today, so he was better off going and getting a good night's rest.

"Um…this way," Sam pointed the way before walking off towards the place that they would sleep.

Allen followed Kanda and the finder called Sam, Staring the older boy's back, he could tell that something was wrong with his comrade. Normally he and Kanda would get into a huge fight when one of them provoked the other one. However Kanda had just ignored him with a flick of his hair, feeling a bit dejected Allen thought that maybe that Kanda not always fighting with him would be a good thing. Either way he was sure that something was up and he would find out what that 'something' was.

"Oi, Moyashi, you're going investigate this "bar maid" while I go and search for other clues," said rather bluntly to Allen before leaving quickly to the outskirts of town where the robbery had been occurring.

"Whatever Bakanda," he muttered under his breath. Somehow Kanda heard it.

"I f*cking heard that!" Kanda yelled, but took no action apart from continuing to walk to his destination. Allen got that feeling again that his partner was a bit off, but maybe he was just looking into it too much.

"Sir, do you need me to do anything else?" Sam said, he had given all his information to the exorcist and wanted to look for more.

"Er…no."

"Well I will go and contact the Order and inform them on your arrival." And then the finder was gone. Weird, thought Allen, they usually stick around.

He shook off his over thinking and continued to walk into the depths of the small town. At some point in the night, it had snowed coating the town in a pristine white, the few businesses in the area were filled by workers from the mine that wouldn't work in the wet conditions.

He found the bar he was looking for, it was pretty average, two stories, the bottom half was brick for the bar and above was wooden and probably used as a hotel. Allen walked inside from the cold and was hit by the warmth from inside, he felt that he would have to take of his exorcist coat but he couldn't do that because it was part of the uniform. Spotting only one girl serving in the crowded pub he went over to her, to ask some questions.

"Are you Madison Marker?" He asked. He looked at the girl, she must have been in her early twenties, she was classically English looking with rich brown hair and eyes, and she was wearing a plain blue dress that reached her ankles. She also was carrying two large beer glasses to one of the wooden tables.

Allen waited for her to answer as she looked at him with a scrutinizing glare, but then she suddenly put on a warm smile. "Yes I am, aren't you a bit young to be in here? Your mother must be worried about you," she cheerily said, while placing the beer on the intended table.

He let out a sigh; he was nearly sixteen, so why did everyone think he was younger? He was going to grow soon! And then he would be just as tall as Kanda or Lavi.

"Actually I don't have a Mother; I am part of the Black Order and I –"

"Aw, you are so cute, playing games like this! You even put on the costume!" she pointed at his coat.

Allen was serious not happy with this woman, he was here on serious business and she thought he was a twelve year old playing games. "Miss Marker, I am not playing games, I need you answer some questions." He needed to get through to her.'

"I would just love to play with you, but I am working and you aren't meant to be in here, it's for adults." She cooed. Suddenly some large men stood up looking very threatening.

"I think you should leave kid," one of the large men said.

Not wanting to get into any sort of fight with the men he left the store slightly sulking. He started to wander in any direction, not really caring where he was going because there wasn't really anything else he could do until Kanda got back. He really didn't want to tell Kanda that he wasn't able to do his part of the mission because he looked to young. It would make the unsmileable Kanda smile, hell Kanda might even laugh.

He looked up and realised that he had no clue where he was, it seemed that he was in some sort of forest and to make matters worse the sun was setting making the temperature drop at an alarming rate. Seeing the thick forest around him he had no clue why he went into this forest, it was just his luck that he got lost and when it was sundown in the snow. Yes this couldn't turn out well. Not being able to see anything that he could recognise, Allen walked back the way he thought he came but soon realised that he had he hadn't walked in one direction before. The foot prints that he had been following soon disappeared due to the fact that it was snowing lightly and the only trail that proved he stepped into the forest were now gone.

"Always walk forward," were the famous words that Mana had always told him, throbbed through his head. Every step he took emitted pain throughout his body, the coldness couldn't be counter reacted with the small amount of heat his body was making from the tiny movement he was doing. It was all too much for him and his innocence was screaming out to him, it was in as much pain as he was. Not only was his arm in pain but it was taking the much needed energy from him, the very arm that had saved him many times in the past was now killing him slowly and Allen knew it.

It was a problem that he couldn't solve, the cold was taking over his body and there was nothing he could do in the forest he was lost in, the tree's offered no clues of the area he was in. He should have never mindlessly walked where ever his feet took him, look where it had got him. Being in the cold where the snow was around him was not the place where he wanted to be, it couldn't get any worse could it? He was in a area that he had never seen in his life, lost, no one knew where he was and the weather conditions were fatal…yea anything could get much worse than that.

Before he knew it he was leaning against a tall tree that he didn't know the name of, puffing out the air that was burning his throat with its coldness. With his energy running so low all he could do was drop to the ground and sit with his back to the tree, blowing air into his hands to try and keep warm. What are you meant to do when you are out in the cold? Um…keep warm…how? Body heat! Oh yea, you need another person for that, Allen mused at the fact that all he was so sadistic at the brink of death.

Would anyone miss him if he were to disappear? He knew that Linalee would of course miss him, Lavi would to, and the entire science department would as well. Miranda would probably go on a suicidal rampage; she would do that without him dying. Allen let out a small dry laugh. Would Kanda miss him? Of course he wouldn't, Kanda wouldn't even shake his hand because he was cursed. Thinking about it he could see Kanda actually being happy over his death, somehow this new wave of thoughts hurt him deeply. Just thinking that Kanda didn't care for him at all hurt him, but he knew that the older boy would never care, it just isn't in his nature. Would Kanda look for him when he found out that he was missing? Surely he wouldn't let his own comrade die, even if Kanda had always told Allen that he would let him die, he had never actually let Allen die…so maybe he did care a bit? Oh how he wished that the PMSing samurai would care.

He cursed himself at that every moment, everything seemed to fall into place, his thoughts showed perfect clarity on one subject. Kanda. He wanted him the care because he was in love Kanda. Oh god he was going to hell. Not only was he in love with a guy (did that mean he was gay?) he was in love with the one person that would never return his feelings. Not only that if he ever confessed his feeling to the older boy he would very much die a painful death, no he couldn't handle this, why did bad things always happen to him?

Not that it mattered at the moment because he was tired and it was time to sleep, he would deal with it tomorrow. Forgetting that he was in the middle of the forest with no clue where he was and the freezing cold temperatures that were only getting colder by the minute.

In the distance someone was running, searching for something with desperation, his breath floating around his body like mist from the sheer amount being exhaled.

Me: Oh No, did I just kill off Allen?

Allen: You killed me off? After I realised my love? *sweat drops

Me: So? Stop being dramatic

Kanda: you have to be fucking kidding me, that was the worst ending ever * reaches for Mugen

Allen: I second Kanda, that sucked

Kanda: Shut up you f*cking beansprout *Allen pouts

Me: I never said that was the end

Allen: But I died!

Me: did I say you died or the story ended?

Allen: no but–

Kanda: just get to the point

Me: * scared of Kanda's sword* Allen's asleep, it's obvious that sweet little Kanda saves his Moyashi. *runs off leaving Allen and Kanda looking awkwardly at each other…well Allen looking awkward…Kanda is just pissed.

(I can call Kanda little since he is a WHOLE two cm shorter than me)

Um...hope you liked my story =)
