Can I be your fortune?
Chapter 1
Miranda Lotto gave up on love when she acknowledged her unlucky faith. 'Cause who would fall in love with an ugly and ill-fortuned girl? Nobody had disproved her in that.
The young Lavi pushed away the emotions in that minute, when he decided to walk on the way of the Bookman and to pay his attention only to the history.
It's maybe the game of destiny that it's the two of them who started to look at each other with different eyes. Whatever did that it doesn't matter; the only important thing is that it will be the hardest battle of the two exorcists, to win over the difficulties in their way. ..
It was too early and looking around he was sure that the others would agree with him perfectly too. All of them were waiting in front of Komui's office. He glanced at the sleepy group of people. Miranda was sitting on a chair and she was watching a picture in silence which was hanged onto the wall and it was representing the sea. Next to her Leah was sitting on the table staring blankly and sleepily. On the right side of the door Yuu was leaning against the wall in the same way as Allen who stood few meters further with a little bit gentler face. The good old Panda was nearly sleeping, so there was no problem with him. And in the end, there was he, Lavi, who stood facing with the door nearly daring it to open. He couldn't bear the silence any longer.
"Why did they urge us there if they don't even let us in?" he groaned. Everybody looked up at his voice. Miranda smiled at him gently.
"They must have a reason." She replied. In the second when she said it out, the door opened and Lenalee appeared.
"I'm so sorry for making you wait, but we had a little problem with Komui." During her sentence she sent killing looks into the room at her brother.
"Che. Can we already come in?" Kanda asked.
"Of course!" Lenalee stood aside and let the six exorcists into the room. The couch was too small for all of them, so only the two girls and the Bookman sat down. The tree other teenager stood next to each other waiting.
"Sorry again for making you wait, but we really had a little problem." Komui started it with a smile. This man isn't nothing. Lavi thought. "So, you have a new mission and I want the six of you to go."
"All of us? Isn't it too much? I've never worked with such a big group." Leah noted frowning.
"This work force us to send big number of exorcist and I think six isn't that big. In the mission with the Ark were more people than six, right?" Komui replied. "You have to collect three innocences maybe from the same village."
"They are at one place? There must be so many akumas." Allen groaned with exasperated eyes. Lavi saw from the corner of his eyes that Kanda let out an exhausted sigh. After all it's just another work with tiring bunch of people for the long haired warrior, right?
Before anyone could say anything Lenalee stepped forward with six folders in her arm.
"This is about the mission." She began and gave one to everyone. "You will go to Egypt from where some finders reported that strange stories are told about three animals. It's about a hawk, a cat and a dog. Supposedly if somebody touches any of these glowing eyed animals, he'll die immediately. Moreover, near Cairo the mysterious death and disappearing cases' number increased. So we have real reasons for suspecting innocence and you have to search there."
"When will we leave?" Allen asked.
"Your train leaves two hours later. Have a good journey and be careful!" Komui warned them gently. Then the six exorcists left. Lavi and the Bookman walked behind the others few meters back from them.
"Pay attention, Lavi!" The Panda spoke up suddenly and made Lavi jump a little with surprise. This old man will cause him a heart attack someday! "It has never happened before that three innocences appeared so close to each other. It's very odd."
"Always just the work." Lavi murmured tiredly. He just wanted one thing, sleep.
Not like that, two hours later all of them jumped off from the bridge together to arrive on the top of the moving train. As unlucky as she was, Miranda slipped and she was approaching the ground with a too fast speed. But fortunately Leah's quick reflexes and her nearness saved her. She blushed in embarrassment and thanked it with lowered eyes. It didn't help either that the blond girl said smiling that it had been nothing.
Being the most experienced, Kanda arrived next to the door, so he opened it easily and mentioned to the others to get in. Leah was the first and she immediately told the old conductor what they want. He showed them their room.
After everybody got his/her place tensed silence filled the air. The silence before the storm as it is said. Everybody could see that Lavi won't stand it too long.
"How can you be so passive?" he cried out suddenly. Of course he got the others attention immediately.
"Che." Was Kanda's only answer, then he turned back to the window.
"Sorry. I think we just a little bit tensed." Leah smiled.
"This is what bothers me." Lavi muttered. The Bookman rolled his eyes.
"Why can't you shut up for once, idiot brat?"
"But Grandpa!" and the family breach started. Allen, Leah and Miranda found it better to stay out of this, but Kanda's short patience started to ran out.
"Just do what this old Panda says, you idiot!" he hissed angrily. Stunned silence filled the room. Allen said a soft oups, and in that second all hell breaks loose.
Who would have thought that an old man as he is can be so fast? Kanda thought after the movement. In front of the eyes of the watchers that picture was shown: the Bookman held out his sharp nails in a stabbing way and only Mugen's sheath stopped it few centimeters away from Kanda's face who held the sheath uncaringly.
"Don't call me Panda and just for you to know arrogant brat, I'm NOT OLD!" the old man hissed. Kanda raised an eyebrow.
"But you don't seem to be so young." He replied with an evil smirk.
"Kanda!" Leah gasped exasperatedly. New nails approached the young swordsman's face, but they were kept off easily. Watching the scene Lavi leaned closer to Allen with a grin.
"Just look at them. They are like a married couple."
"Exactly." Allen nodded. Two burning stares turned towards them. "Oups."
Leah was thankful for that they were alone in moments like that. Being Tiedoll's pupil and Kanda's and Daisya's mate she was used to situations like that. However this time it started to get out of hand. After few seconds she and Miranda found themselves fighting for their own lives in the males' dogfight. The older woman held out her hand and screamed out.
"Innocence! Stop it!" everybody froze immediately.
"It was a good idea, Miranda." Leah sighed, while she prayed for to nobody open the door. The picture was that: Allen was laying on the floor, Yuu was pressing his neck with one hand while with the other one he held the Panda's leg away from himself. Leah's leg was seized under Allen and when she fell she grabbed Lavi's who was fighting with Panda and because of that the red haired fell onto Miranda and now he was holding himself up with one arm preventing himself crushing the girl.
"And now" The blond one spoke up again. "CUT IT OFF YOU IDIOUTS!" muttering something, but slowly everybody tried to sit back to their places. Lavi, who was still above Miranda, grinned sheepishly.
"Million sorry for this." He said. Miranda smiled nicely.
"No problem. It happens." But Lavi froze. The girl's eyes. There was nothing interesting in them anybody would say, but in that minute when the girl was smiling, they were sparkling so beautifully like starts on the sky. Bookman Junior's thoughts were distract by a huge bang.
"Get off from that poor girl, idiot!" the Bookman muttered.
"I'm sure that I can denounce you for serious maltreatment." Lavi hissed. There was silence again and now Lavi didn't make steps to break it. Rather he went back to his observation from before. He had never looked into Miranda's eyes like that. But now it was like looking into the girl's soul and it was beautiful. What the hell was that? He asked himself.
Suddenly the object of his thoughts stood up and smiled sheepishly.
"I think I go for a little fresh air. I won't be far away." She said and turned towards the door.
"Be careful, Miranda." Allen warned her gently. During this Lavi fought desperately and confusedly with the urge to run after her and watch every steps she takes.
"Thank you, Allen. I know I'll need it." The girl laughed and stepped out. She should laugh because of me! She should thank for me! That was now anger and the red haired boy couldn't understand it. What the hell is wrong with me? He thought desperately. He leaned his head back at his seat and forced his eyes shut tightly. Maybe he was just too tired…
