Intense, cold and direct but with eyes that burned with such passion any ember would have been envious. Lightly muscled and graceful limbs yet strong as an ox and twice as stubborn; the water danced across the beautifully unblemished skin. His long tresses that he had loose for the moment to cleanse himself were shiny and black like the finest silk; General Kanda Yu was a sight to behold.
They had danced once before but unfortunately the Earl interrupted it and the Noah of Pleasure wanted to finish it. But now was not the time. If not for something else this would have been the perfect time for an ambush. You can't catch a person with their guard down any further than when they are bathing. Yet there was something about the young man that told Tyki that the guard of this Exorcist was never down. When the pair locked eyes before it was different than when he had done the same with the redhead, Lavi or even with Allen. This stare between Tyki and Kanda was different it said things that even the man's blade sought to obliterate.
"He is a pretty flower."
Tyki turned around to see Road a few steps away from him.
"He's a formable opponent." Tyki replied as he turned his gaze to the girl.
Road laughed she knew Tyki well enough to know when he was interested in more than just gathering intelligence. Why waste his time anyway scouting out what they were doing; that's what Akuma were for. Even Tyki's dislike for what Allen represented didn't even run this deep, the Noah was fascinated. But by the same token Road was right Tyki did like Allen, he liked to hear him scream as he did that day he destroyed his innocence. But this one, this Exorcist was different Tyki wanted to hear Kanda scream but he wanted to hear him scream for other purposes.
"Then let me play a game with him." Road continued to laugh, "I could invade is dreams and make him come to you all on his own."
"Road!"
"What, surely you're not afraid of him?" she continued to taunt with her hands behind her back as she began to rock back and forth on her heels.
"There is enough going on around here without anyone else coloring outside of the lines." Tyki said as he turned his eyes back to the bathing man, but cut a quick side glance at this niece.
"Who Allen, that's different I like playing with him," Road then mocked, "-he's a formable opponent too."
The man sighed, now that she was on this she wasn't going to let it drop anytime soon.
Road then demanded, "You should pluck him. Yes, you should pluck that exquisite tiger lily."
"What?! That's not very ladylike Road; remember your position." he replied at her directness Tyki's tone holding a hint of sternness.
"Well don't observe him for too long." She giggled a little louder than necessary, turning from her Uncle she faded out through the foliage.
The rustle of undergrowth caught the General's attention he turned quickly from the waterfall, soaked and grabbed his mugen katana ready to activate it while peering in the direction of where he heard the sound into the quiet and the darkness. Kanda's heart was pounding so loudly in his ears he was certain someone had been right there watching him. After a few moments he blinked twice and shook his head dismissing the thought.
