Chapter 1: The Mission Briefing

"Kanda, Lavi! Chief wants to see you!" Reever yelled from the entrance of the mess hall directed towards two eighteen year old boys.

"Che, come on Usagi lets see what he wants now." Kanda, a long blue haired Japanese teen, said to Lavi, a dazzlingly red haired teen.

"Yuu! You know that's not my name, but yeah lets go." Said Lavi. As the two set off towards Komui's office, neither said a word to the other, for both were immersed in thought. What does Komui want now? Last mission he sent me and the baka usagi on we nearly killed each other. Kanda clearly remembered the last mission they were sent on together. Lavi had been separated from Kanda and in the process of searching for him, told the town they were boyfriends so as not to blow their cover. Why, Kanda thought, couldn't he have thought of a better excuse for searching for me?

When Kanda eventually found out what Lavi had done, he almost killed Lavi. Lavi had of course escaped Kanda's wrath by barricading himself in a bathroom. When Kanda finally calmed down enough Lavi came of the bathroom and was greeted by Mugen and a clear message to never do anything like that again.

The pair soon arrived at the chiefs office walked in to find the chief sound asleep with his head on his desk.

"Chief," Lavi whispered in the man's ear, "Lenalee's pregnant." The man sat up so fast Lavi almost missed it.

"WHAT? MY DEAR SWEET LENALEE HOW COULD YOUUUUUU!" The man screamed jumping out of his chair and running about the room like a madman.

Lavi reminded the hysterical man of his and Kanda's presence by coughing loudly. The man immediately calmed down and sat in his chair.

"Yes, well I've brought you here to assign you two to a mission." He paused a moment to add to the effect, but then proceeded calmly. "You are to go to a small town, where one of our retired finders lives, to investigate some suspicious activity between two families. You two will be investigating the Cullen family and the Black family. We've arranged for you to stay the chief of police, his daughter is very close to the Cullen family." Lavi nodded slowly letting the information sink in. Kanda nodded minutely.

Finally Lavi asked grinning broadly, "When do we leave?"
