Withered Lotus

Kanda's POV

"Goodnight Kanda!" Moyashi and Usagi chorused as I walked towards my room.

"Che," was my only reply as I closed the door.

I sat down to meditate, before going to sleep, as usual. Before I closed my eyes, I saw that I had not much time left. Four petals left. Damn those Noah he thought before drifting off to sleep.

FLASHBACK

Still on Kanda's POV

Jasdebi dealt a blow to my chest, which hurt like crazy. I had regenerated so many times, using the forbidden skill, draining my life away slowly and a bit painfully. It was hard killing off 'beauty mark'(1), and now this pair of Noah which just merged together was dealing blow after blow, and i decided to return the favour. With a trademark smirk, I used my strongest attack to finish them off. SPLAT… shit, there's blood on my coat…AGAIN. And Mugen…NO!...broke. I gathered them up quickly, putting them in a small cloth bag and dreading the part where I had to ask KOMUI to FIX it for me.

Suddenly, all the akuma disappeared. I glanced around sharply, just to see the Earl turn into dust, and Moyashi, standing victorious, smiling happily. Everyone relaxed and were going on with useless chatter as we made our way back…

YOUR POV---XD

A few days later, Kanda got back his Mugen. He was wearing his usual glare, although he felt relieved and glad that Mugen was with him. Allen and Lavi were walking towards him, both smiling, one mischievous, the other just being polite and expressing his happiness of the end of the war.

"Hello, Yuu-chan!!!" Lavi drawled, much to Kanda's annoyment.

"Go away, Baka Usagi."

"Don't be so rude Kanda!" Lavi chided mockingly.

"Shut up then, Usagi. It could do you some good." And just to piss Allen off, he added, "Hey Moyashi, you haven't grown." [which was true.]

"Shut up, Bakanda! And the name's Allen! A-L-L-E-N!!! Need me to repeat it again for that garbage you call your brain?" Allen shouted.

Suddenly, Mugen was removed from its hilt and to Allen's neck. "Want me to chop off that white hair of yours, Moyashi?" Kanda threatened.

"Yuu-chan won't do that! He will be going for a picnic!!! With his beloved master: Tiedoll! Thanks to me!" Lavi exclaimed, winking.

Kanda, hearing that, snapped.

Three exorcists could be seen running around the Black Order- a typical day.

About two weeks later, three petals had dropped off. There was a nagging feeling in Kanda's head telling him that he had not much time and he better confess to HER soon, or he might never get another chance.

Leenalee.

"Maybe I should." Kanda pondered over the idea, and thinking it was a good one, went to find Leenalee. He hoped that she was alone. It would be bothersome if she was with someone, and especially if that someone was that mad scientist, Komui Lee. That person with a sister complex and a screw loose. He took a breath, and went out. Not only out of his room, but out of his comfort zone and sanity, the first time, for once, to hope for something seemingly impossible to him.
