Chapter 1

Blackout

The sun was shining brightly through the opened window. The sunbeams were falling on a person, lying on a small bed. The boy frowned lightly, before he opened his left eye, which wasn't covered by an eyepatch like the other. Red strands of hair fell mazily in his face.

Making an undignified noise, the boy laboriously sat up and put one hand in front of his face, for fighting off the bright shining sun, which blinded him. He groaned lightly, while realizing the gigantic headache he was having. After coming to his senses, the red-haired boy started to wonder why he didn't close his window and his curtains before going to sleep like usually, so the annoying sunbeams wouldn't have woken him up. A cool breeze came through the opened window and played with his disheveled hair, making the 18 year old boy wonder why he wasn't freezing, before he recognized that he was fully dressed and even wearing his shoes.

As he tried to recall the events of the past evening he didn't come very far.

--

It was the evening of the big party the black order was celebrating year after year. The reason for celebrating this party wasn't known at all, but it was assumed that they only wanted an extra cause to party and to drink once a year. Lavi was looking forward for it for quite a time now. He always liked going on parties and to celebrate. It was fun. Right after getting dressed for the feast he left his room. But before heading to the cafeteria, where the party was going on, his way leaded him to a special black haired exorcist, who definitively didn't appreciate this party like Lavi did.

Kanda Yuu was a person, who hated going on parties. He hated every event, which had something to do with loud, dancing and drinking people. He hated events involving any people, at all. For that the red-haired boy was sure. Although Komui had announced that no exorcist could keep away from the event without cause, Lavi wanted to make sure that Yuu really was going there. Knowing the swordsman for quite a time, he was not surprised to found the other boy not dressed if he was going to a party, as he bounced into his comrades room. Named boy didn't need to look up to know who was intruding in his room. Lavi had mentioned over and over that he would come and pick him up for the big event, which was planned and prepared for long time now. Pouting and huffing Lavi walked up to the, on the bed sitting, boy and stemmed his hands on his hips.

"Geez Yuu, get dressed already. We're going to be late, if you don't hurry."

He demanded. Knowing well enough, that there was no way the black haired boy would just stand up and do as Lavi told him.

"Che" was the almost foreseen reaction. "As if I'm going to this damned party. -------------And don't call me by my firstname." Ignoring the last part of Kandas sentence, the intruder continued.

"But Yuu, you know you can't just stay away from it, without any cause. And it will be fun. Come on." The redhead tried to convince the grimly boy.

"No"

"But they are all going there. Afterwards you will be angry that you wasn't there and missed the fun we had." Of course this would not be the case and Lavi knew as well, but he would not give up this easily.

"You never ever go some where with me. As my best friend you have to do so. That's the way it works. I'm always on my own, when I want to go somewhere." He complained.

"What make you think that I'm your best friend. I'm not even want to be a FRIEND of yours. So stop annoying me for once and get out of here before I slice you with Mugen."

The redhead had known from the very beginning that it wouldn't be easy to convince Kanda, but he had prepared himself well for this confrontation. " 'kay, but you know it was just about a command from Komui to go there. You can't oppose it, without any good reason, for not going there." If he couldn't count on Yuu sympathizing with him, there was one thing he could count on, for sure. And that was that Kanda Yuu would never disobey the orders of his superiors. "You could say it was an order from Komui to go there." The bookman apprentice added, almost grinning, convinced of his own genius. The long-haired exorcist paused in his motion and was thinking, about what was said. Of course he knew, the other just said that to made him going to the party, but he really hadn't a solid ground to get out of that. Recognizing that the stubborn swordsman wasn't replying, Lavi secretly began to enjoy his triumph. "I'm glad you're finally agreeing with me, Yuu. Hurry up, now. We're already a little late."

"I'm not agreeing to anything, bastard." But even so, Kanda stood up, picked up some clothes to wear and disappeared in his bathroom.

Lavi was waiting patiently outside. And just to shorten the time of waiting a little, he looked around in his comrades room. Unhappily he had to realize that there was really nothing interesting in Kanda's room he didn't know, yet. As a matter of course it wasn't the first time for him being in his friends room. Not to mention, that Yuu hadn't invited him there ever. After just a few minutes Kanda was fully dressed, he had taken a shower already before, and ready to get over with these evening. When he got out of the bathroom, he saw a waiting Lavi sitting on his desk.

"So let's go, Yuu. Let's have some fun then." His companion announced and jumped up to set off. With a deep frown on his face Kanda followed the annoying redhead, to the party location.

As they arrived at the cafeteria the always frowning exorcist stopped in front of the door just to deepen his frown and gave the impression of mentally preparing for the following.

- He really don't like going on parties much.- Lavi thought to himself and almost felt a little bit guilty for dragging the poor boy there. Almost.

"Well, Yuu. Ready to pick up some nice girls?" He ask his follower with a big grin on his face.

"I'm not going there to pick up some girls, you stupid. Don't compare me to you. Just lets get this over." The black haired one growled and walked past the taller boy, pushing open the door he walked in. Lavi followed him grinning as always, hands folded behind his head.

If he didn't know better, he would never believe that they were in the cafeteria. The room hadcompletely changed. From the big disco ball right up to the improvised dance floor, it was all perfect. After he had taken a look around, Lavi detected his companion, who had immediately hidden himself in a small corner, where not much people were around. The redhead stated that it was just like Yuu to do so and pushed his way through the crowd to made it towards the long-haired boy.

"Nah Yuu, can't you just wait for me. And what are you doing here in this small corner. It's nothing going on here. Come, let's join Lenalee and Allen, on the small table over there." The redhead announced, pointing at a table across from them, and was promptly dragging Yuu towards the recently mentioned exorcists.

"I don't want some thing going on. So just let me stay there. And I haven't wait for you, cause I was trying to escape from you, idiot. So stop bothering me constantly." Kanda glared at him, trying to kill him just by his glance.- Wherefore am I deserving this. Why can't this annoying moron just leave me alone. I will definitely kill him, if I ever get a chance to it.-

Lavi on the other hand was just thanking god, that looks couldn't kill. And was heading to the table were Lenalee and Allen were sitting. He just couldn't understand the other exorcist, sometimes. It wasn't a secret that Kanda didn't like this kind of things, going on parties, chatting with other exorcist etc., he was just a little bit antisocial, or a little more. But he was a 18 year old boy, just like him. Didn't he just sometimes want to have some fun, like all boys in their age wanted to. Such things as dating girls, going on parties or going out, just to mention a few of them. Of course they weren't just like any normal boys, they were exorcists after all, and Lavi as well was the successor of bookman, but that didn't mean they weren't allowed to have just a little bit fun once a while. Arriving in front of the table, where Lenalee and Allen were sitting, he cheerfully greeted his two comrades. After he forced Yuu to sit on one of the not occupied chairs, he sat himself down on the other chair.

"Oh, hello Lavi! You're a little bit late!" Allen stated, looking at the other boy after shooting a strange glance at Kanda. "Yeah, you're right. Hadn't have an eye on the time." He answered, blinking at Yuu, who, so he found, definitively was in his dept now, for not telling that it was the black-haired exorcist fault for being late.

"Never mind. I'm glad you come here, too, Kanda." Lenalee tried to lift the mood. As expected the addressed boy didn't answer.

After some time of babbling with his two, not so uncommunicative companions, Lavi decided that it was time for a drink and was heading towards the bar, after picking up the drink wishes from his friends. Lenalee and Allen were not drinking something alcoholic like him and Kanda didn't want to drink anything.

- One alcoholic drink won't do any harm.- He thought to himself.

After quite a time the talkative boy was busy with his already 5th drink and now was in his best flirt mood. Mostly for Lenalee's disease.

--

The just awaken boy let himself fall back into his cushions, pulling his blanket over his head, he preferred falling asleep again. But that didn't work very well. His head ached badly and the young exorcist, not with all the will in the world, could remember what happened after his 5th drink. There were only broken bits he could recall. His mind went black.

- Damn, I can't remember what happened. Eh........ There were Lenalee and Allen........ and Yuu, and......... I started flirting with Lenalee..... I think, and Allen was pissed therefore. Yuu was pissed anyway and left early. And then ...... What happened then?-

The boy hardly tried to recall the events of the recent evening, but he didn't get it. He started feeling very bad. For the successor of bookman, it was very new, to not remember every thing he had seen and done. He never ever forget a single thing and now there was a lack of several hours. He didn't know the feeling he was having right now and he didn't like it.

- I even can't remember how I get here back to my room.- In his desperate state Lavi threw a look on his clock, and was shocked as he noticed that it was already three a clock in the afternoon, he rarely slept this long.

Much to fast for his not yet recovered aching head, Lavi jumped out of bed and vanished in his bathroom. He wasn't sure if the man that looked at him from out of the mirror was really him, he didn't look very good and it would take quite a time to be able to show his face again, without scaring any people.

After the red haired boy had taken a shower and done his usually morning washings, he could recognize his mirror image again. The next thing he wanted, was an headache tablet.

While he was on his way out of his room Lavi stopped just in front of his door. If he was honest, he was a little bit afraid of going out there. Without his fully memory of the bygone evening, he didn't know what he had done and out of who's way he should rather go. But the successor of bookman couldn't hide forever in his room, so he decided to go and was hoping to not have been misbehaving after drinking so much.

Arriving at the kitchen, where also some of the medicines were treasured, he was glad that it was already this late and not many people were around at this time. Finding his so badly wanted headache tablet he took it hastily and was heading to the library equipped with an bottle water. Stepping into the library he sat down on the comfortable couch, and started reading one of the books bookman had told him to read, while he wasn't there. To his enjoyment, the tablet was working and his head didn't hurt that much, so he could concentrate on reading. It was a good distraction to not think about, what he might have done in his drunken state, it truly killed him to think it over and over again.

In the end Lavi spent the rest of the day in the library reading books. Most of the time he was also able not to think about what had happened and he was quite happy about it. When he finally went to sleep in the evening he also was pleased that he hadn't meet some of his so called friends this day, who would maybe tell him about his misbehavior. And with the little pieces he could remember bit by bit he was sure he didn't behave very well. Ignoring that he hadn't eaten a thing the whole day, he closed his eyes.

Music......

People dancing.......

Lavi in the middle of them, dancing and singing........

Lenalee and Allen sitting at the table.......

"Lenalee ......... you look really cute t'night. Can I kiss you?"

"Lavi you're drunk, stop it already."

a very pissed off Allen.......

"Stop bothering Lenalee now. If you're in your flirting mood go looking for some other girls."

An unknown, black-haired beautiful girl.........

Sweating and panting the boy woke up....... Looking confused at first, he was taking the bottle of water he had brought along, and drank it all in once. He really hadn't expected to had nightmares about his

misadventure at the bygone party. He couldn't help but laugh about himself. When he ever told someone, what kind of dreams he considered as nightmares.......

Cutting of his thoughts he concentrated on the topic. The exorcist didn't want to wonder day after day, what he had done that evening. So Lavi decided to ask one of his friends about it, the next day.

Concerning the nameless, black-haired girl..... well.... he had a suspicion and was hoping desperately that he was wrong. But in his now not drunken state, he had to admit that named girl had an alarming similarity with a special also black-haired exorcist.
