Chapter 1- Things Take A Turn for the Worst
Hi =D. Sorry. My last story I tried out didn't work out so well! It kinda went to hell... I didn't know where to go with it... If you still wanna read/have me continue it let me know! I'll be willing to try it out for my readers! Anyway, here's a new story that I've come up with. Its Yaoi so if you don't like, then don't read.
Disclaimer- I don't own anything. If I did... well things would be a lot different =D. Enjoy.
The rain pounded hard against the ground as Kanda glanced around. Surrounding him were four level two akuma. Not that he wouldn't handle them, take them down and free their souls from the dwelling hell. It's because he couldn't that he stay stationed in his position, waiting for them to come at him. Behind him was the finder that was assigned to him. That finder had the Innocence that Kanda and him were seeking. He was working on getting his barrier fixed.
Kanda swung Mugen back and forth as the akuma began to fire relentlessly at him and his finder. "Hurry the hell up!" he urged. "I'm almost done master Kanda," the finder replied while snapping the cover back into place. He turned it on and used the barrier to hold the Innocence, so that way, if he were to die, Kanda could take it back to the order. "It's about damn time!" Kanda yelled as he activated his Innocence. He jumped at the akuma and swung down, slicing the tortured soul in half.
"Die you damned akuma!" was all the finder could hear over the basing thunder. As the lightning struck he heard and barely saw some explosions in the distance. "He's finished off the akuma," he declared out loud. "Lets go," Kanda muttered walking past the finder and sheathing Mugen. "Yes master Kanda," he uttered grabbing the Innocence and following after the samurai exorcist. "It's safe right? The Innocence?" Kanda asked after a while of walking through the woods.
"Yes master Kanda, I used the barrier to keep it locked away from the akuma just like you instructed before we were thrown into the situation," he replied. Kanda nodded and grunted to let the finder know that he heard. Soon afterwards they came upon the entrance of a large town, but the streets were empty and the gates open. "Do you think something happened here?" the finder asked. "I doubt it, the people probably just took off cuz of the weather. Lets find a place to stay here for the night."
"Right, I'll go on ahead and see if any Inn's or Hotel's are open, why don't you stay here and rest for a bit?" he suggested. Kanda nodded slowly and walked underneath the balcony of an apartment, where the rain didn't pound. The finder took off and Kanda lost sight of him after several moments. "Got dammit," Kanda cursed as he tugged his exorcist jacket off. "Damn rain..." After he removed his jacket he wrung it out, trying to get as much water out as possible.
A bit later the finder returned. "I found an Inn that we can stay in for the night." Kanda nodded and pushed off the wall from his leaning position. Sliding his coat back on he followed the finder with no words. Kanda glanced around and saw various shopping stores. Cooking utensils, house decorations, a grocery market, a haircutting business, shoe cleaning, bag making, custom made dolls and doll repair and even a book store. Kanda wasn't interested in any of those, so he turned his head to the front.
As he did so the finder made an abrupt stop and Kanda almost slammed into him. "We're here," was all he said as he opened the door and led Kanda inside. The waiting room was average. Squared off with two couches on opposite sides of the wall, a small coffee table in front of them, the main desk set in-between two pairs of stairs leading upwards. To the left of the main desk there was a coffee pot with some foam cups, napkins, and stir straws.
Kanda averted his eyes to the skimpy man behind the desk. He was short with an overlarge shirt thrown over his petite frame. His over-alls were a bit loose on his body and Kanda could see the wholes in his shirt. His was bald on top of his head with only the sides of his head having hair. Along with that a toothpick stuck out of his mouth and he watched as the man adjusted his glasses. "Can I help you sir?" Kanda nodded. "I need two rooms, one bed."
The man opened his book and scanned through. "Alright, we can fit you in. That'll b-" Kanda cut him off,"Just send it to the Black Order." The man nodded in understanding and gave Kanda two keys. He turned to the finder and dropped one of the keys in his hand while walking towards the stairs. "Thank you master Kanda,"he uttered whilst bowing. Kanda grunted in response knowing that was all that was needed for the finder to understand.
Walking down the hall and searching for his room Kanda noticed how fairly well-kept this place was. Soon after he found his room he slide the key into the door and opened it. He slipped inside and shut the door behind him with his foot pushing back against it. Looking around the samurai pulled his hair tie from his hair and felt as the long locks of hair fell around him. He walked into the bathroom grabbing a towel on the rack next to the shower.
Before he used it he inspected it, not trusting the hotels and their usually dirty nature. After he deemed it clean he began to dry his hair. He slipped off his jacket, shirt, pants, and shoes before throwing on his spare kimono that he brought along with him. It wasn't for relaxation, it was because Kanda knew it would be raining. After changing he walked to his bed with the towel thrown lazily over his head.
He threw himself on the bed feeling more at ease and closed his eyes. He propped Mugen up against the wall and lay back, calming himself and taking deep breathes. In the morning he and the finder would be taking the first train that left for Europe. As much as he despised it he couldn't wait to be at the Order again.
He thought of Komui. The stupid director of the Black Order, with his loud mouth, stupid creations, and his sister complex. He thought of Lenalee. Komui's sister, talked often, girly, and happy, and still she fought like a true exorcist. He thought of Lavi. The loudest idiot of all, him and his dumb remarks, his obvious red hair, and his stupid hammer. Sometimes Kanda wished he could shove it in Lavi's mouth just to get him to shut the hell up. Then he thought of Moyashii. The short, white head, cursed, joyful, heavy duty eating, exorcist.
"If he keeps eating like that he's gonna end up as fat as the Earl..." he thought out loud. Closing his eyes Kanda drowned out all sounds and listened as the rain hit the window, how the thunder based and convulsed with a great force, how the lightning flashed and whipped across the darkened sky, creating the storm.
Kanda awoke with a start and he instinctively grabbed for Mugen beside his bed. Instead of grabbing for Mugen like he planned he was suddenly pushed back against the bed and something hard smashed against his forehead. He gazed up with a slightly blurry gaze to meet the eyes of... His eye twitched in annoyance. "Get the fuck off of me!" he yelled not caring if anyone so much as heard. "Someone's grumpy, the voice said with a slight laugh."
"Lavi I swear to Kami if you don't get off of me I will stab your good eye out!" Lavi sat back with a laugh as he straightened himself so his dangling legs weren't at an akward position. "Why the hell did you head butt me you asshole!" Kanda yelled enraged. "Well, I called for ya a couple times Yu, but Yu ignored me, so i head butted you." Kanda growled low in his throat and Lavi raised his hands in a 'I-give-up' manner. "Where's Mugen?" he growled.
"Chill Yu! He's fine!" Kanda glared.
"That's not what I asked baka usagi!"
"I know."
"What the hell did you do with my sword?"
"Why do you wan' it?"
"So I can kill you with it," Kanda said lowly.
Lavi laughed lightly. "You're so cranky in the morning Yu!" Kanda shut his eyes and heaved a sigh while rubbing his temples. "Why are you here?" he asked calmly. Lavi shifted on the bed,"Well, it turns out I had a mission here, I was just waiting for Komui to give me the go-heads to go back. Then I heard from him that you were here and asked where. The finder told Komui, who told me, and I came here to find you sleeping!"
Kanda nodded with some understanding. "Yeah, had a rough time last night," he admitted. "Everyone does once in a while Yu. Anyway I say we head back." Kanda nodded roughly and looked around. "Where's my finder?" he asked impatiently. Lavi suppressed a laugh and gestured to the door. Kanda stood glancing around again.
"Mugen?"
"Mah, he's here," Lavi uttered whilst handing Kanda the weapon.
Kanda took the Innocence and glanced around. "Something doesn't feel right..." he muttered to no one. Lavi looked at Kanda with a worried glance as he passed him. He looked back before opening the door and walking out, leaving it ajar so Kanda could follow. Said man looked back at the room, searching the objects, the paintings, the patterns. Something felt different to him. Out of place. He just couldn't place what it was.
He left, closing the door tightly, and walked down the hall listening to the heavy beat of his boots pounding against the old wood on the floor. He glanced down and traced the design of the rug that he had stepped on. Snapping out of his gaze, Kanda lifted his eyes to see the upcoming staircase. Making his way down, he once again searched anything, he lay his eyes on for some kind of sign that there was a disturbance somewhere.
"-u! Yu!"
Kanda shifted his gaze from the picture he had passed to the yelling red-head in the lobby. "What dammit!"
Lavi laughed, once again, and said concerned,"You seem out of it today. Are you alright? Did anything happen last night?"
Kanda huffed angrily and growled,"Yeah, you showed up." He walked past Lavi, leaving the stunned red-head in his dust.
