Chapter one: the unexpected

"Ne…Allen… Allen… ALLEN!!!"

Allen Walker jerked from his chair, searching who was calling him.

"Allen, you seemed quite dull today," Lavi commented. "You had been like that since you came back from the mission with Yu-chan."

He was right, the white-haired thought. Why am I like this? Allen looked up and scanned around the crowded cafeteria. There he was, the raven-haired Japanese, sitting by his own with a soba set neatly placed in front of him. Kanda Yu was wearing his usual serious, sober face; Mugen, his katana, was tied around his waist, sheathed but very dangerous. Those who were sane in the Black Order tried their best to avoid the terrifying gaze and the threatening blade. However, they entranced Allen. For some reason, he got this after their last mission.

They were arguing as usual, on their way back on train. It was a good thing they were in a private compartment. Both of them were at the peak of their emotions. They stood up and shouted towards each other. Somehow, they were unaware that the train was stopping. Allen lost his balance and landed himself straight onto Kanda. They fell onto the floor, faces only inches apart.

"Fuck you!" was all Kanda said and pushed Allen away, who was blushing madly.

Now they were back at the headquarters, Allen had been having dreams about it. The sleek and elegant features of his face; the long and silky texture of his hair; the warmth of his body… NO! IT CAN'T BE! Allen mentally scolded himself. I CAN'T BE IN LOVE WITH THAT BAKANDA. He sneaked one more look at Kanda, who had just finished his meal. Their eyes met, Allen felt a faint blush on his face. Kanda's deathening glare enchanted him again. It seemed as if they should be his, only him himself………

A large slap brought Allen back into reality. He turned around, it was Lenalee, hands on her waist and looked very annoyed. She must have been calling me for a while, Allen concluded.

"I'd been calling you for ages, Allen-kun, but you seemed to be ignoring me," complained Lenalee. "Anyway, Niisan has asked you to go and see him." Allen sighed and followed her to the supervisor's room.

Komui's room was as messy as usual. Documents were lying everywhere, books were falling off from the shelves. A snoring Komui was found a mist a pile of papers and files. Lenalee walked over, "Niisan, wake up!"

"No! Don't bother me! I am in stress! Why don't you just leave me alone, Reever Han-chou?" Komui grumbled.

"Niisan, if you continue to be like this, I am going to abandon you FOREVER!"

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!" With that, Komui woke up. Allen laughed as Lenalee tried to calm her brother from his sister-complex.

A little while later when everything was calmed and Komui was back into his serious mode. Lenalee left also for a pending mission.

"There's a report that in the imperial palace in Italy, there are cases of mysterious disappearance of people. Finders in that area reported that there are a group of newly employed servants admitted into the palace. We suspect that they are level 2 akumas. I want you two to go and investigate." Komui said while fixing his disarray of papers on his desk.

"But how… hey wait a second, what do you mean by 'you two'?"

Komui looked up for the first time. "Oopsie doodle! I thought Kanda-kun was here with you."

Kanda? He is coming along? That can't be! Allen trembled. With all his efforts to forget about Kanda for the time being, now he had to face him again. Suddenly, the door crashed opened, and in came a very cranky Kanda Yu. Allen looked away, avoiding his gaze.

"Why in the devil's hell am I doing such mission with Moyashi?"

"Allen-desu, Bakanda!"

"Tch!"

"Now, let us have some peace here. I can explain! I can explain!" Komui said in a ridiculous Indian accent. [note: (to Indians) no offence to your accent, I was just describing Komui's tone that is, sorry about that.]

That solved the tension fair enough. Allen and Kanda sat on opposite sides of the sofa, seemingly ignoring each other's existence. Komui looked at them and began," I chose the two of you is mainly because… I DON'T WANT MY DEAR SWEET LITTLE LENALEE TO BE INVOLVED IN SUCH EROTIC MISSION!!!!!"

Kanda drew out Mugen, "What do you fuckin' mean by 'erotic'?"

"I am not doing anything with that Bakanda!!!" Allen joined in.

"I need two exorcists in this mission, preferably a male and a female. The two of them had to join the Christmas Ball of the palace as allies of the monarch. I think Kanda-kun looks like a gentleman of court. I just can't bear to think that Lenalee's arms will be wrapped around your's. However, we don't have any suitable candidates for the female companion."

"So you wanted me to be here? Like I am Kanda's crazy gay lover?"

"We are trying to dress you up as a girl, Allen-kun."

"What gives you the impression that I can be dressed up as a girl without anyone noticing me as a man?"

"Cause… you looked and sounded like one. That solves the problem!"

"You can't be fuckin' with me, you son of a bitch!" Kanda seemed to be at his limit.

"Aww, you don't have to be so pissed off. All you need to do in the ball is just escorting Allen-kun in and dance and have drinks with him. Just act like a happy couple, fiancés I should say."

"I won't be doing this with that bakanda/moyashi!!!!"

Komui got up, completely ignoring their comment, and began hunting for something. Allen and Kanda studied Komui's actions cautiously. Komui turned back again, holding two files.

"These will be your identities in this mission. Good luck with akuma hunting. Oh! One more reminder. Destroy them at night. The king doesn't want other countries to know that his palace is breeding akumas." He gestured them to leave, leaving the duo with no other choices but to accept this unexpected mission.
