Once again, I am really sorry for making all of you go through the wait but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless!!

Kanda: She's just stupid

Kanda: Sure…

Allen: Well that isn't very nice….

Lavi: Ahahaha…..Well Yuu-chan isn't very nice….

After The Calm: A sequel to The Bunny and The Samurai

Chapter 1: To Madrid

--

Kara explained the details of the mission to them as they traveled. It would take them a few hours to get to Madrid. After all, Spain was located in Europe, where the current HQ was located. Allen forbade negative thoughts from entering his mind. He would not allow himself to jinx the chance that the three girls were still up and running. He would not doubt the power his comrades possessed.

'They are alive.' He chanted in his head like a sacred mantra. Kara, recognizing the agonized expression on the boy's face, began to sing a song to make him relax.

Sousha (Musician) from D. Gray Man. Sung by Sanae Kobayashi, Allen's seiyu (Not mine either…)

Soushite bouyaha nemurini tsuite

Ikizuku haino nakano o hono o hitotsu, futatsuto

Allen turned his head in the direction of the singing.

Ukabu fukurami itoshii yokogao

Daichini taruru ikusenno yume, yume

He recognized the song; Mana sang it to him when he was younger. When they had 'created' the symbols for the score.

Ginno hitmoni yuragu yoruni

Umareochita kagayaku oamae

Although, the very fact that he knew this song once labeled him as a traitor. On that fateful night when everything he once knew was lost. The one he had once called "father", had only been using him for his own purpose.

Ikuo kunno, toshitsukiga

Ikutsu inoriwo tsuchihe kaeshitemo

How did this woman know the song? Who was she?

Watashiha inoritsuzukeru

Allen found himself getting more and more tired with every passing second.

Mou kakonnokotoni aiwo

All thoughts exited his mind as he was lulled to sleep, his head being gently placed comfortably on Kanda's lap.

Tsunaidateni kisuwo

Lavi and Kanda watched as the new mysterious finder sang Allen to sleep, smiling serenely as his eyes shut and he collapsed onto Kanda's lap, who of course, laid him down into a more comfortable position. Lavi began observing the woman before him, looking for any signs indicating that she was a spy for the Noah. Lavi had been there the night Allen broke down, the night where the truth was learned. If she knew this song, had she been investigated already? And if not, does HQ even know of the matter at hand? If this woman truly was against the exorcists, he wanted to eliminate her immediately. He would not risk the chance that she wanted to harm what he held so dear. He wouldn't allow Allen or Yu to slip from his grasp; he had almost lost them once already.

"Relax Bookman Jr., I don't plan on turning on the order anytime soon. After all, they gave me my life back." She murmured, smiling sadly.

"I apologize for making you remember a painful topic." Lavi stated professionally.

"Ah…there is no need to worry about a finder such as myself." She replied.

"Then at least let me apologize for suspecting you." Lavi responds. "I was just...ya know…worried."

"Of course, I understand completely. After all, why would you not worry for the sake of your lovers." She smiled knowingly. Lavi turned beet red and there was the faintest trail of scarlet on Kanda's scowling face.

"Who s-said anything about being l-lovers?" Lavi demanded, face flushed. Kanda smirked at Lavi, who in turn blushed even more. 'Damn it, why am blushing like this?! Stupid Allen giving me his blushing problem…' An awkward silence engulfed the entire group. The only audible sound; Allen's light breathing.

The tension continued on for about ten minutes until Allen shuffles slightly, lazy blue eyes fluttering open. Allen tiredly stares up at Kanda.

"Hn?" Kanda asks.

"Thanks for letting me use your lap as a pillow…" Allen mutters quietly, getting up to stretch. As he gets up, his eyes lock with Kara's and the intensity is unbearable.

"Who are you?" Allen asks sternly.

"As I stated previously, my name is Kara and I am your finder for this mission." she replies, her gaze faltering as she stared into those eyes filled with immense pain, suffering…and love.

"Why do you know that song?" Allen asks.

"…Because..." She hesitated. "I am Mana Walker's daughter..."

Well, here's a twist to things… Sorry if it was short compared to other things...but since it's only the first chapter and all…. Anyway, hope you liked it!!

P.S. You're probably thinking 'What the hell? I wait so long and this is all I get?' Please do not be mad, the next chapter will not dissapoint!!
