Hair Tie

The early mist of a cloudy morning cooled the air. A black haired exorcist had just finished putting his hair up into a high ponytail.

"Hey, Yuu!" A red-haired fellow exorcist suddenly appeared in the doorway.

Kanda growled, turning around in annoyance at the familiar voice. "Baka usagi! Don't just appear like that! And don't call me by my first name."

Lavi entered the room, tugging playfully at Kanda's hair. "Why do you always have your hair up like this?"

Kanda scoffed. "Che. It's just easier this way, stupid rabbit."

Lavi just grinned as they both left for their mission.

Lost

Two exorcists of the Black Order were walking around in an unfamiliar area.

A lone voice broke the silence. "Where are we?"

"Che. How am I supposed to know? I've never been to this place before," came the other's reply.

The red-haired grinned. "I guess we're lost, Yuu."

"Don't just point out the obvious, baka usagi. Let's just find our way out of here." Kanda sighed, his eyes flickering back and forth, glancing at the foreign scenery.

The two walked the rest of the way in silence, soon arriving at a small town.

Even so, the duo was still astray.

Dream

Night. Darkness streamed in through a large crack in the curtains. Kanda Yuu lied in his bed, fatigue slowly coming over him. He sighed to himself and closed his eyes, welcoming the sleep he so desperately needed.

For some reason unknown to him, a particularly surprising scene flashed in his mind. He and the red-haired Lavi were standing face to face.

The ever present distance between them slowly became smaller. Just as their lips were about to touch…

Kanda jerked awake in a cold sweat. "What the hell was that? That's the last time I have soba right before bed."
