Hey everybody! This is just some story I made. The idea won't stop bothering me. And I know the story is boring, it's just that when I'm bored it's contagious :P Enjoy! This is meant to be a oneshot, but I suppose not. Also, I skip a lot. This was just made for fun and when I want action, I skip too much. Plus, there is barely any action in this chapter. BTW, this is the longest chapter I've ever made! WOOT! It totally beat the one I made in Abandoned Siblings!
Disclaimer: I don't own D. Gray-Man. It's impossible because I can't draw as good as the creator. If you think I do, I'd thank you and kindly say to get some glasses (or change them). Oh yeah and I won't repeat the disclaimer for the rest of the story.
Today is the first day Allen Walker has ever went to school. Woopee. Allen sighed. Going to this school would be so much different than being home schooled like he used to. Sighing again, he put on his hood to hide himself. People would probably think is weird for a kid his age to have snow-white hair and red scar that looks like a tattoo. Looking up, Allen saw a sign that says: Black Order Elementary. He's here.
Stepping inside, Allen looked around at the huge building. Digging his hands onto his right pocket, Allen took out a folded sheet of paper and unfolded it. On the paper was a map. Cross predicted Allen would get lost, so he asked the people at the school to draw a map for him. Allen sighed for the third time of today. Even though Allen has a tendency to get lost, did they really have to draw a map? Okay fine, so Allen can get lost in his own house, so what? Looking around the paper, he spotted his destination. Following the directions, he reached the place. First class: Math.
This elementary school really felt like high school. (?) You actually have to go to the class instead of staying seated at your desk for the whole day. Entering the classroom, he looked around. The class was filled with students, yet there was no teacher. The students were amusing themselves boredly with their pencils and papers.
"Where's the teacher?" asked Allen as he entered.
"Probably late as usual." a student answered.
"Sheesh! It's been 20 minutes already! If she doesn't come in 5 minutes, I will fly paper airplanes with my homework!" shouted another student. On cue, the teacher came.
"I AM SOOOOOOOOO SOOOOO SORRY FOR BEING LAAATE! PLEASE FORGIVE ME CLASS!" cried the teacher.
"It's okay Ms. Lotto." said a few students as most of them rolled their eyes.
"Ah! That's right! There's a new student today! Please introduce yourself to the whole class!" exclaimed Ms. Miranda Lotto. Allen nodded.
"My name is Allen Walker. I'm from Britain." introduced Allen with a bow. He hid himself further into his hood, however a few loose strands of hair came out and his red scar came in view. Someone raised their hand.
"What's up with your white hair? Are you an old man in disguise?" asked a student. Chatters began to fill the room.
"3rd Graders! Calm down! OH NOO! ICAN'?" asked Ms. Lotto in terror. Allen sighed. What to do? Well, it's not like he cares about what other people think about him anymore. He doesn't really need any friends. Rolling his eyes, he whispered something to Ms. Lotto. Ms. Lotto seemed pleading and so she agreed to Allen. Taking a deep breath, he began to shout:
"HEEEEEY! IF ANYONE CAN ANSWER THESE EQUATIONS THEY GET CANDY FROM MS. LOTTO!" shouted Allen as Ms. Lotto scribbled down random numbers on the board.
172+1=?
100-3=?
42x78=?
Many hands raised. Ms. Lotto pointed at the first person she saw raised his hand.
"The answer for the first one is 173." the person answered.
"Correct!" smiled Ms. Lotto. She then pointed to another person.
"The second one is 97!" exclaimed the other person.
"Correct! Now does anybody know the third one?" asked Ms. Lotto. No hands raised. Ms. Lotto began to panic.
"I think the last one is too hard for them." commented Allen as he looked at the board. Ms. Lotto began to cry in horror.
"OH NO OH NO I AM A TERRIBLE TEACHER!" she cried. Allen sighed ONCE MORE as he mentally calculated the equation in his head, using the tricks Mana taught him. After a couple of minutes of him thinking, Miranda whining, and the class working furiously to get the last candy, Allen smiled.
"The answer is 3276, Ms. Lotto." he answered. Ms. Lotto began to calculate the equation in her head and became amazed.
"But... No 3rd graders knows multiplication yet! You're amazing, Allen!" exclaimed Ms. Lotto.
"It was a piece of cake." said Allen, scratching his cheek.
"No! It was amazing! How about you go to 5th grade math tomorrow? I'll tell the principal so he can get your schedule changed!" exclaimed Ms. Lotto.
"5th grade? But I'm just in 3rd grade!" complained Allen.
"Nope! It's official! You are from tomorrow on going to go to 5th grade math. The principal, Komui, will give you the schedule." said Ms. Lotto.
"But!" too late, the bell rang. The whole class left while two got there candy. Sighing for what seemed the thousand time, Allen was about to leave, until something hit him on the back of his head.
"Oh SORRY ALLEN! I thought you might wanted the candy!" said Ms. Lotto, apologizing plentiful of times. Allen picked up the candy, put it in his pocket, then smiled.
"No problem, Ms. Lotto. See ya tomorrow!" he waved as he left. Grabbing the map from his other pocket, he looked for the next place to go.
Recess.
Allen sighed. He just 'woo'ed the English teacher, Mr. Yeegar. He didn't see what is so wrong. He just said what does the acronym DNA stand for, which is Deoxyribonucleic acid. Didn't everyone in 3rd grade know this? Now he's doing fifth grade English! Though Mr. Yeegar was wondering if instead of going to 5th grade it should be 6th. Allen quickly objected that because he didn't wanted to be the major target of teasing in a place filled with sixth graders. Sitting on the fresh grass, he felt alone. He saw a couple of kids playing soccer on the fields. Standing up, he asked if he can join them. A kid in his class shoved him onto the ground, saying an impolite no. When one of the six graders who were playing soccer saw Allen on the floor, the kid who shoved Allen just said Allen tripped! The six grader helped him up then went back to playing soccer with the other kids.
Even if he did say he needed nobody...
He did felt lonely...
Why was everyone doing everything they can to kick them out of this world?
What did he do..?
School's over. Allen managed to impress four teachers. Wow. Mr. Wenhamm (Science) and Ms. Nine (Social Studies) placed him in fifth grade science and social studies. Oh yeah, he also impressed the gym teacher, Mr. Dark. But Mr. Dark said nothing, apparently, and let emotion take over. Allen was getting tired, but knew he must concentrate. He even slept through lunch by sitting besides the Sakura tree near the school, and if Allen Walker was skipping lunch that means that there is something very wrong or Allen's an imposter. Of course, Allen knew he isn't his own imposter. Walking home and entering using his keys, Allen shouted:
"I'm home!" no answer, as usual. Yawning, Allen took dinner early. He didn't ate much. He just ate HALF THE FOOD IN THE NEWLY FILLED FRIDGE, no biggie. He then saw a yellow figure loom over him.
"Timcampy!" shouted Allen, hugging the mechanical golem.
After taking a short nap, Allen woke up and checked the time. 8:00 PM. Time to go. Allen put on a fake disguise and smirked. He used his white hair to his advantage. First he messed it up, then he wore brown contacts, a big black coat, then he used a mask to cover half of his face. He would of used the mask at school, but that might scare the kids. Putting a few finishing touches, Allen checked the mirror. He wasn't Allen Walker. He was the pro, Shortlink Proke.
Allen snickered to himself as he went home with a bag load of cash. Too easy.
He just won at poker, by cheating of course. He got his name, Shortlink Proke, from the men in the bar. Shortlink because well, he's way too short to be an adult. Proke because of the word PRO in it and if you put the r in poker after the p, it will spell Proke. Hm... With the money he got, he can probably pay off Cross' debt. Finally. Checking the time, it's 11:00 PM. It's WAY past his bedtime. He better go to sleep, or else he'll miss school. Well, it's not like he cared about school. That school is so different compared to getting home schooled.
Allen woke up and rubbed his eyes. Checking the time, he panicked. 7:30 AM! He overslept! Changing to his more casual clothes, Allen ate his breakfast as quick as he can (Not even in a blink of an eye), grabbed his backpack, wished Timcampy a goodbye, then head off. Timcampy frowned, followed Allen, and hid in his hood.
Running, Allen was panting when he reached school. With 5 minutes to spare. He needs to head to the office to get his new schedule. Heading to the office, he was greeted with an ever-enthusiastic Komui.
"Why hello little-Allen! I've heard of your accomplishments, and I'm saying good job!" exclaimed Komui.
"T-Thank you." replied Allen. Komui tossed Allen a paper before someone came in and began to complain to Komui about paperwork.
Exiting the room, he checked his schedule, A.K.A. the paper that was just handed over to him:
Social Studies - Grade five - Ms. Klaud Nine
Hygiene - Grade three - Mr. Arystar Krory
Math - Grade five - Ms. Miranda Lotto
Art - Grade three - Mr. Froi Tiedoll
Recess
Lunch
English - Grade five - Mr. Kevin Yeegar
Gym - Grade three - Mr. Suman Dark
Science/Library - Grade five - Mr. Reever Wenhamm/Bookman
Free time
Notes: Library is on Wednesdays
Okay, so first up is Social Studies... With the grade fivers. Perfect...
"Alright class! Listen up!" shouted Ms. Nine. Direct attention was given to her. Because if someone didn't listen... Ms. Nine spotted someone who was daydreaming at the window.
"Hey! I said listen up!" shouted Ms Nine. No response from student. Lau Jimin, Ms. Nine's monkey, went towards the student and bonked her on the head with a small hammer. Lau then went back to Ms. Nine.
"Y-Yes!" exclaimed the girl, embarrassed.
"Rohfa, pay attention! Now, there is going to be a student who is attending this class. Please be nice to him. He is quite young, yes I know, but he is a very bright child. Now come in, Allen." commanded Ms. Nine. Allen embarrassingly came in the classroom, hood blocking his face.
"Hello..." said Allen weakly, making sure no one sees his face.
"C'mon Allen! Don't be so shy! Take off your hood!" exclaimed Ms. Nine. Suddenly, Allen felt something tugging his hood, revealing Allen's white hair and red scar. Turning around, it appears that Lau is the one who took off his hood. Allen was about to put his hood back up, but he knew it was too late. They saw. Allen shyly looked at the ground, but wasn't expecting the next upcome in a million years.
"KYAAA! HE'S SOOO CUTE!" shouted most of the girls in the class. Allen looked up in surprise and came in eye contact with everyone in the class.
"Do you know how did he got his white hair and scar?" asked one of the girls.
"Who cares! He's so cute!" exclaimed a girl. Chatters immediately filled the room. All of the chatters stopped at once at the sound of a pretty deep voice for a kid.
"Heh. It's just some short stack, nothing more, nothing less." said the kid. Everyone turned towards Kanda. He was one of the most famous boys in school.
"Anyhow, Allen, just sit at the only empty desk available." said Ms. Nine, assuming Allen knew where that desk is. Allen nodded and sat at the only empty desk. Kanda was at his left.
"Hi! My name is Lenalee!" said a voice at his right. Allen turned and saw the girl. Allen made a smile.
"Nice to meet you, Lenalee." said Allen, until he was bonked on the head by Lau's hammer.
"Ow..." said Allen, rubbing the back of his head.
"Allen Walker! Pay attention!" shouted Ms. Nine.
"Yes Ms. Nine..." answered Allen.
The whole class Allen rubbed the sore spot on the back of his head. Hygiene with Mr. Krory was next.
Mr. Krory is a really soft guy. Though nearly the whole class feared him because of his sharp teeth, ears, and resemblance to a vampire, Allen found the man interesting. He is really gentle. That's why you should never judge a book by it's cover. Krory won't even hurt a fly, more or less suck blood.
The rest of the day went by smoothly. Math was ok besides the fact Miranda was late and she was crying her soul out. Kanda threatened her and she fortunately stopped. Though Kanda was carrying a sword while he threatened her... Is that even allowed at school?
Art with Tiedoll... Tiedoll was over explaining about the different kinds of shape. Everybody grew bored and eventually slept. When everyone woke up, it was the middle of recess. The whole class left, with some in panic because they're missing a soccer match. Allen decided to tour the school... which has not ended well with Allen's sense of direction and that he needed the caretaker, Lala, to guide him towards the outside of school... then the bell rang the minute he went outside and he has to head back.
Lunchtime. Yes!
Allen was overjoyed as he followed the map to the cafeteria.
"Why hello! Aren't you a cute one?" asked the chef. People say his name is Jerry.
"M-My name is Allen Walker!" said Allen with a bow.
"How polite! Now Allen, what would you like? You can have anything, and it's all free!" exclaimed Jerry.
"Anything for free...? Then I'll have... *Insert incredibly long list of food that even I have lost count*" said Allen. Jerry stared at him crazily.
"Er... are you going to eat all that?" asked Jerry. Allen nodded. "Okay then, sweetie! Right away!"
Carrying the trays of food, Allen spotted Lenalee waving at him.
"Allen!" she shouted. Allen sat in front of her. Besides Lenalee was Kanda and in front of Kanda was a red-haired kid with an eye patch. Wasn't that guy in front of him in Social Studies?
"So, hows the school so far?" asked Lenalee.
"Great I suppose." said Allen, shrugging.
"That's great! You know, I've been into this school for most of my life. And just like you, I skipped a grade. I'm supposed to be in fourth grade." explained Lenalee.
"Really? That's cool." commented Allen.
"Yeah so- Allen?" asked Lenalee.
"Mmm?" asked Allen with a plateful of food shoved into his mouth.
"How did you finish that in less than a minute?" asked Lenalee, pointing to the tray that has once been filled with mountains of food.
"I dunno. High metabolism perhaps." said Allen, shrugging.
"Wow! And I barely ate half of my food and I started way before you!" said the red-haired guy that was sitting beside Allen, "My name is Lavi, by the way."
"Nice to meet you, Lavi." said Allen.
"So Lavi, Kanda, what are we going to do about the band?" asked Lenalee.
"What band?" asked Allen, curiosity ruling over him.
"Our band, Innocence!, is missing a member. Our pianist had to exchange schools. Now we can't find anybody to replace the pianist." explained Lenalee, "But, you wouldn't happen to, I don't know, be able to use the piano?" asked Lenalee, looking hopeful. Allen gave Lenalee a sorrowful smile.
"Sorry... I never touched a piano in my life." said Allen, waving her off. Lenalee was immediately depressed.
"I see... Then we'll just have to advertise in the whole school." she said, clearly upset. The bell rang, signaling it's the end of lunch. Time for English class.
"Alright then! There is going to be a special project that will go on until the end of October! You must pair up in a group of four and create a song altogether. Three of you have to have an instrument and one of you sing. Now pair up!" said Mr. Yeegar as the students tried to pair up. Rohfa came up to him.
"Um... hi..." said Rohfa.
"Hi Rohfa." said Allen. Rohfa blushed.
"Um... Allen..?" asked Rohfa.
"Yes?" asked Allen.
"Would you... like to g-" started Rohfa
"HEY! ALLEN! COME JOIN US!" shouted Lavi, as Lenalee waved and Kanda just sat there, bored.
"Gotcha!" replied Allen, he then turned towards Rohfa, "You were saying?"
"N-Nothing..." said Rohfa, upset. She wanted to ask Allen if he would like to group with her.
"Okay then. Bye Rohfa." said Allen as he left.
"Are you sure you guys want to pick me?" asked Allen, unsure, "I've never played an instrument before..." stated Allen.
"Then we'll make sure you try different kinds of instruments! Now let's start with the lyrics first." said Lavi as he grabbed a lined sheet of paper and pencil.
Gym was next. The class had to do gymnastics. It was race. The course is that first they must climb onto the ropes, then swing the ropes and land onto the mats. Then they must go through the tightrope and climb onto the ladder. They then must go onto a large ball and using the ball they must walked onto the next obstacle (they have metal bars at the side for support). Then they are suppose to run towards the trampoline, jump using the trampoline, then grab one of the rings that were hung using a thick string (But taped onto the string so they can actually grab it), and while having the ring, run towards your group so the next person can go. Everybody assembled into a group of four but Allen. There was a group of three, but they were complaining with the teacher.
"No way will we pair up with that old man!" complained a boy. The two girls beside him nodded.
"You are the only group of three. Pair up with him or else we'll never start." said Mr. Dark.
"No! I refuse! I rather not do any gym than pair up with HIM." complained the boy.
"Do it or else you won't do gym at all and everybody will have fun but you." commanded Mr. Dark. The boy grumbled and went towards Allen.
"If we lose we'll blame it all on you." he grumbled.
"Don't worry, I'm good at gymnastics." said Allen.
"Yeah right! Get to the back of the line!" the boy shouted as he pushed Allen to the back of the line. Allen got up and said nothing.
The race commenced. The boy did pretty well, Allen had to admit. Though he messed up in the tightrope but he got a chance to restart it. The two girls were up next. They slowed down the team greatly. One of the girls was crying and blaming it was Allen's fault, when Allen did nothing at all. Allen sighed as it was his turn. The fourth people of the other people teams were already halfway there. Ah well. Allen could catch up. Allen climbed the rope without much effort then swung from rope to rope... while doing back flips. Landing on the mat, Allen crossed the tightrope... while using his hands and not his feet. Jumping over the ladder, Allen crossed the ball without holding onto the bars while walking backwards with his eyes closed. Running quickly, he surpassed the opposing teams greatly. He then jumped onto the trampoline, and while he was at an amazing height, he performed front flips and snatched the ring. Smirking, Allen thanked Mana for teaching him gymnastics and performing at circuses. He then gave it to his team. His team began to cheer and brag that they won, but they all keep saying it was the great 'Jonathan' (The name of the boy) who did it so quickly the other teams didn't have a chance. They also said it could of gone faster if it weren't for 'the old man'. Allen grumbled and marched away, leaving Jonathan with all of his 'pride and glory'.
Science. The group had to work on the electrical circuits. There wasn't really much going on besides the fact that Mr. Wenhamm was explaining how does a circuit work. Science came and went very easily.
Free time. Goodies. The last 30 minutes of school. Allen packed his stuffs then raced through the corridors. He didn't want to be bothered. Where is a place that no one can bother him? Looking around, Allen checked his map. He was on the abandoned side of the school. Nobody goes here. Allen looked at the windows. He was at the highest floor. Glancing down, he saw no one. But he did saw a pretty thick cord that connects to another side of the school. The building next door was blocking the view of anything. He didn't know why, but he wanted to know where the other end of the thick cord leads to. Opening the window, Allen flawlessly went past the tightrope and onto the other side of school. He was on the roof, but he was blocked from anyone who may look. The roof was empty besides a door. Allen placed his hand onto the door, and suddenly the door opened! Looking around, the place was crystal white. On the left is a wall that is pretty much a mirror. On the right there was a screen. Near the mirror-wall was a white sofa and near the white sofa was a white chair. And standing in the middle of the room was...
Allen approached the object. It was a piano. But it's keys have a reversed color. He sat down. Suddenly, Timcampy appeared from his hood.
"T-Timcampy? What were you doing there?" asked Allen, surprised. Timcampy said nothing (well, it's not like he can speak in the first place) and sat on the piano. He opened his mouth, and out came a projection of...
No matter what, keep on walking... until the day... you die...
"W-What's that doing there?" shouted Allen. The projection was... something he made with Mana years ago. Allen's fingers touched the keys. He was tempted to play.
Would you like to bring your precious father back to life?
Allen pressed onto a note. A 'ding!' sounded throughout the room.
Now go on and shout his name, since you two have such a special bond...
Allen pressed another note. Another high-pitched ding sounded the room. Why was he tempted to play? Allen glanced back at Timcampy, who stood there motionless, still projecting the thing he and Mana made years ago, engraved onto the earth.
How dare you turn me into an akuma!
Allen was trembling. The piano... it felt so familiar...
I curse you!
...But he never touched a piano before in his life...
No! Don't hurt Father!
...So why does it feel like he knew how to play this instrument before..?
I love you. Destroy me!
He felt like everything is tempting him to play.
NO!
The air around him stilled.
Would you like to become an exorcist?
If he played, maybe Lenalee would be overjoyed.
But, you wouldn't happen to, I don't know, be able to use the piano?
And people would stop teasing him...
The great Jonathan always prevails!
Allen's hands began to move.
What are they doing? Why are my hands moving by themselves?
A familiar tune filled the room. Why was it so familiar when he hasn't even heard what a piano sounded like before?
Soshite bouyaha nemurini tsuite
Who's singing inside my head?
Ikizuku haino nakano hono o hitotsu, futatsuto
Ukabu fukurami itoshi yokogao
Daichini taruru ikusenno yume, yume
Ginno hitomini yuragu yoruni umareochita kagayaku omae
Lavi passed by the second abandoned hallway of the school (Allen took the first one). Today he had a rehearsal for his band, Innocence!. Nobody in the world but him know this, but the second hallway has a trapdoor and it is a special shortcut towards the room Innocence! has a rehearsal in. On his way to the trapdoor, he heard music from the other side of the wall near the trap door. Planting his ear towards the wall, he heard a wonderful melody that he has never heard before.
Ikui kuno tositsukia
Ikutu inoriwo tsuchihe kaeshitemo
Watashiha inorituzukeru
Mou kakonnokotoni aiwo
Tsunaidateni kisuwo
The melody continued for awhile, and when it ended, Allen's fingers stopped. Allen took off his gloves to reveal his left hand, which is covered in blood red, his nails were pure black, and a cross was embedded at the middle. Allen then began to touch (not press) the keys. They were so smooth. And so... familiar. UGH! This is driving him crazy!
Lavi was at a lost for words. He wanted to know who played this song and plus... there shouldn't be anything at the other side of the wall. Who played the music? Shaking his head, Lavi entered the trapdoor and landed onto a room. He then opened the door of the room to enter another room, which is the place where the rehearsal is being held. Good thing Lenalee and Kanda were off making the announcement. Or else they would figure out his shortcut. They usually don't figure it out because Lavi is generally early. But because of the piano playing, he had come pretty late. Lavi then heard the familiar ding that is saying an announcement is being made.
Allen heard a ding. Suddenly, the screen in front of the piano lit up to show Lenalee speaking into the microphone and Kanda boredly leaning against a wall. Aren't they in the office at the place where announcements are being said? Then how can Allen see them?
"Attention Everyone! The school's new band, Innocence!, is looking for a piano player! Our band, Innocence!, has the famous Lavi Bookman, Y-" started Lenalee, until she saw Kanda glaring at the floor. Oh yeah, Kanda hates being called Yuu. "Kanda, and I, Lenalee Lee. Lavi is our drum player, Kanda is our guitar player, and I'm the singer. The try-outs are going to be for the rest of the week until Friday. Our rehearsals are at recesses and free times, but free times are just optional, meaning all the important rehearsals are at recess and our less important ones are at free times, so you can skip out the rehearsals at free times. So if you have a talent in piano, the try-outs is during the whole week! Your age, appearance, intelligence, or whatever doesn't really matter, as long as you have a thing for piano! The try-outs are held in the gym and they can be done during recess or free time! See ya!" and with that, Lenalee pressed a button to stop the broadcast over the whole school and even outside of the school.
"Do you think we'll have members to join?" asked Lenalee. Cheers were screamed all over school when they heard the announcement. Allen saw multiple of screens appearing, all showing excited kids all over the school. From the halls to the playground.
"What do you think?" asked Kanda, still looking at the floor.
"Anyhow, Lavi should be waiting for us. Let's go!" said Lenalee. With that, the screen blacked out again as if it never showed the announcement.
"What... was that?" wondered Allen out loud. He sighed. There is only about 5 minutes left of free time. He might as well leave school early. Putting on his gloves, Allen exit the door, walked onto the tightrope, and headed inside the window. He looked down. There was some sort of water below. It may of came from one of the streams near the school. That' good. So incase (though it's rare) he'd fall, the water below will cushion him. Unless it's winter, though. Then that would be a problem. But it's not like he'll fall anyway. Lost in thought, Allen headed towards home.
"Hey Lavi!" said Lenalee as she entered the room where Innocence! do their rehearsals.
"Hi Lenalee! Did you know? I heard one of the best piano playing in history at this school!" exclaimed Lavi.
"Really? Did you tell that person about Innocence!, Lavi?" asked Lenalee. Lavi bit his lip.
"That's the problem. I heard the piano playing from the other side of the wall, but... at the other side of the wall it's suppose to be empty." explained Lavi.
"Then the piano playing is probably your imagination you dumb rabbit." said Kanda.
"No it wasn't. I am sure of it!" exclaimed Lavi.
"Where did you heard it?" asked Lenalee.
"In the second abandoned hallway." explained Lavi.
"Why were you there in the first place?" asked Kanda.
"C'mon Yuu! Why can't I wander around the school?" asked Lavi. Kanda pointed his sword towards Lavi.
"Don't call me that!" growled Kanda.
"You guys! Stop fighting! Since we missed our rehearsal, let's go to my house and work on our band." suggested Lenalee.
"How about we work on our English project instead?" suggested Lavi.
"Yeah, but the short stack isn't here you dumb rabbit." said Kanda.
"Yeah, but maybe he's still around. Let's head outside and see if he's still here." said Lavi as he ran off. Lenalee went after him while Kanda followed, bored out of his mind.
Allen was about to depart until he heard a shout:
"HEY! Allen!" shouted Lavi. Allen turned his head to see Lavi, Lenalee, and Kanda running. Once arrived, they panted for breath.
"Hey guys. Something wrong?" asked Allen.
"We were just wondering if you're free." said Lavi. Allen shone an apologetic look.
"Sorry guys, I'm busy pretty much every day." said Allen. True, because he has to play poker most of the night.
"Aww! C'mon Allen, can't you take a break?" asked Lavi. Allen shook his head.
"If I could I wouldn't be so busy everyday." he said. Allen then ran off, leaving the three kids alone.
"Since Allen won't join, we might as well go to my house and rehearse for the band." suggested Lenalee again. This time Lavi agreed and Kanda just 'che'ed.
It's 8:00. After Shortlink Proke's appearance at the bar, he head off with a bag of money. It should be 9:00 by now. Hm, he's early. Well, it's their fault for making such a huge pot.
Lavi waved Lenalee a goodbye before heading off with Kanda. As the two walked, they saw some guy who is very small that has shaggy white hair, brown eyes, a coat that is obviously way too big for him, and a bag filled with something.
"Is he a thief?" wondered Lavi out loud.
"Let's find out" said Kanda as he charged towards the guy.
Shortlink Proke was very surprised to see Kanda of all people, more or less charge at his with his sword! Proke tried to dodge his attack, but Kanda's sword cut a hole in his bag, letting out money.
"As we thought. You're a thief!" growled Kanda.
"T-Thief? No, you got it all wrong!" complained Proke, glad that when he's disguised as Proke, he can change his voice in a deeper tone.
"Alright then, mind explaining this?" asked Kanda, grabbing Proke's bag of money and emptying it to reveal millions of dollars. Proke snatched his bag, put the money back in, and covered the newly cut hole. Kanda didn't surrender and placed his sword at Proke's throat.
"I know you may be too young, but have you ever heard of someone called Shortlink Proke?" asked Proke, clutching onto his bag. Kanda's grip on his sword grew tighter.
"Shortlink Proke? Hm... Isn't he that guy who is very short that is a pro at poker? What about him?" asked Kanda. Proke smirked.
"That's me." Proke said, pointing at himself.
"Prove it." said Kanda, edging the sword closer to Proke's throat.
"Alright then... catch!" shouted Proke as he threw a circular object. The object exploded and smoke filled the area. Kanda and Lavi coughed until the smoke cleared off.
"Where did he go?" growled Kanda, looking everywhere.
"He escaped... Hey Yuu, what happens if that guy really is Proke?" asked Lavi.
"Then I won't kill him, what else you dumb rabbit." said Kanda as he took his leave. Lavi sighed and head back home.
Author's Ending Note:
Enjoyed it? Yes? No? Who cares? Any answer is great. I'd understand if you guys want me to hurry up and work on my other fanfictions, NOT create more. Well, I'm just too bored to update them :P
