I do not own D. Gray-man, the characters, the story, and the idea all came from katsura hoshino, so, it's not mine. With that said, enjoy.
Yaoi warning!
Chapter 1: Hormones.
"Allen! No!" Leenalee's words kept repeated in his mind as he stood in front of the mirror in his room and stared at his reflection, as if unable to except that it was indeed him self looking back at him.
"Why me?" he whimpered as his hand slowly reached up to touch the new appendages that sat atop his head.
"Allen?" he jumped as Leenalee's voiced echoed around the room and his new appendages twitched back, honing in on her voice as he turned.
"H..Hey…" he voiced, not looking up from the floor as they fell back.
"Are you ok?" she seemed worried, walking in with a tray of food and setting it down on his bed.
"I brought you something small to snack on till you feel like coming out." Small for him was nearly three bowls of food…
"Yeah I'm fine… Just a little startled…" he voiced and turned to stare at the mirror again in dread.
"I'm sorry, I should have warned you sooner…" Allen turned and smiled at her though it was hard to mask how upset he was with those stupid things pressed flat against his head.
"No it's ok really. It wasn't your fault…" he voiced politely as always but she didn't seem convinced.
"Well… come out when you want… Big brother is working on something to fix it now… but we have no idea how long it will take before it's done…" she voiced as she turned to leave then offered him a softly smile.
"And Allen…"
"Yeah?"
"It's really cute." She giggled then left, shutting the door behind her.
He couldn't help but sulk more from those words, cute… he was cute now? He glanced at the food on his bed and for the first time in a while found him self lacking an apatite. He wondered if that was a side effect… or if it was just him. He sighed, moving to sit on his chair in front of the mirror and returning to poking and staring at the things on his head…
(No more than an hour ago…)
"Yuu~" Lavi cheered as he fled in circles around the room.
"Stop calling me that Stupid Rabbit!" Kanda's sword drawn he sliced at the red head as he bounded around the long table in the science division.
"There at it again." Someone sighed as Allen sat watching with a sweat drop and Leenalee stood trying to get them to calm down before they broke something.
"Guys this is no place to be running around!" She called after the two in worry as they just ignored her.
"But I just wanted to braid your hair Yu." Lavi called, obviously provoking him on purpose, course that didn't stop the eternally PMSing samurai from charging after him anyway.
Allen sighed slightly and reached for his glass, going to take a drink, not having noticed the tipped bottle of purple liquid that had just spilt into it. He'd just taken a sip when Leenalee gasped and yelled.
"Allen! No!" and that was all he could recall of what had happened up until now.
He'd passed out from a sharp pain just after she yelled and then woken up in his room apparently a few days later with a rag on his head and Leenalee hovering over him with a look of worry. From then on he'd been sitting in front of the mirror, just staring in dread.
"Why me?" he repeated again and sighed, standing up and finally moving to eat the food Leenalee had dropped off for him.
What would the others think… or worse… say. The two fluffy black cat ears perked atop his head, twitching at ever little sound and showing any hidden emotion he had. Those were bad enough and at least he could put them under his hood or something… he hoped.
The worst was the new fangs and strange craving for fish and eggs. And the cat tail which he had stuffed down his pant leg right now… he hated it. Leenalee said it was cute, but he didn't want to be cute. Cute meant no one took you seriously, cute meant people stared and he'd had enough of that already. He sighed, sulking again and realizing some time during thinking he'd stopped eating again.
It took him a long time to get the food down without his stomach, which seemed just as upset as he was, trying to force it back up. And now he stood in his uniform with his hood up and his tail wrapped around his waist, staring at the door. He didn't want to leave the room but he knew he needed too… He couldn't just keep hiding in here until the antidote was done but he really didn't want anyone else to see what had become of him after that little mishap. Of course he knew Leenalee wouldn't tell them and because of that, everyone would be worried. Well everyone but a curtain PMSing Bakanda, who just so happened to be the very cause of all this. He felt the ears pin back again and hissed.
"Stop moving!" he complained and tugged on his hood as his cheeks turned a deep red in both embarrassment and irritation.
He finally left his room and instantly he was regretting it. Despite his best job to tell himself he could just sneak out and no one would notice a thing, which was the least possible thing he could have done. Lavi instantly was hanging off him and sobbing, being it fake and obviously fake as he hung off the Albino's shoulders and nearly pulled down his hood.
"Allen you're ok!" he cheered and Allen hissed and pushed him off, making everyone who had been standing outside his door waiting for him to come out, stare. He gripped the edge of his hood and there was a long silence before Lavi's only visible green eye twinkled the way it always did when he was thinking up something dastardly.
"What's wrong Moyoshi? Cat got your tongue?" he voiced and Allen's face turned deep red as his eyes widened and he found him self only staying more quiet and tense.
"Oh leave him alone Lavi." Leenalee's voice called over the crowd as she made her way over to bonk him over the head with her clip board.
"You ok Allen?" she asked worried and all he found him self able to do was nod.
Lavi pouted a bit as he and everyone else was pushed away so Allen could escape the praying eyes of what seemed like the whole order. Then Leenalee was at his side with a worried look and he sighed.
"I'm ok Leenalee, really." He smiled, glad his ears were hidden for once because she seemed more willing to accept that now that she couldn't see them for them to give away how upset he was still.
"That's good but…" she trailed off and Allen's heart sank.
"But?" he asked worried.
"You… have a mission." That was just what he didn't want to hear and he groaned and stopped walking to lean against the wall in distress.
"You're kidding me right?" he asked hopefully and looked at her, sulking as she just shook her head.
"Why me?" he asked again, which seemed to be becoming a common question from his lips.
"I'm sorry, big brother tried to talk them out of sending you but… they really want you to go on this one." She voiced and walked over.
"Who am I going with." When no response came he looked over and sighed.
"It's Bakanda isn't it…" he voiced and Leenalee just nod.
Another groan and he took the black folder that was offered to him and sulked his way down the hall.
"If it makes you feel any better at least you know he won't say anything if he finds out…" he wouldn't right?
"Yeah…" Allen muttered as he walked down the hall and sighed as the two of them made their way down the circling halls to the Komui's office.
Why him? Why did he have to go on a mission now and with stupid Bakanda no less? Why now? Of all times for him to go on a solo mission with the guy why did it have to be now? These questioned where just a few of many that rushed through his mind as he sat as far away from the Girly Samurai as he could on the single couch that rested in front of Komui's messy desk. It looked like Leenalee had been trying to clean things up a little because you could see a few pieces of floor through the piles of paper and you didn't have to climb you way to his desk from the office door. Kamui however sat behind his desk with a serious look on his face, glasses hiding his eyes.
"Sorry Allen…" he voiced and Allen just shook his head and sulked again.
"Well on to mission briefing…" Kamui sighed knowing no amount of apologies was going to make up for this one.
He pulled down a map of England and pointed at a small area circled with a red circle.
"We've gotten reports of innocence in this area but no Akuma have been spotted yet. We want you two to go look around and see if you can spot anything. Kanda is going with just to make sure no Akuma come around while you're weak Allen." Allen's hair on his tail bristled in irritation and he shivered.
"Yeah." He grumbled under his hood.
"It's not far from here… just a few days train ride and we got you both different cabins." Oh thank god!
"But your beds are in the same rooms."
"WHAT?" Both him and Kanda shot out of their seats and pointed at each other.
"No way am I sharing a room with that guy!" they yelled then glared at each other, Allen hissed at him and Kanda seemed rather taken aback by the rather strange display.
"Now, now. No reason to get hasty." Kamui tried but the two just growled/hissed at each other and flopped back down.
Komui sighed and sat back down.
"The only thing I'm worried about is the lack of Akuma… So please, be careful…" he voiced and stood.
"Well~ Have fun you two." He chimed and the two just growled and stood, walking out of the room.
They had gotten to the train just in time and Allen sat down just as it started to move, nearly knocking him off balance. He was glad he had a cart away from Kanda because he was finally able to pull down his hood, much to his relief. He didn't realize just how uncomfortable it made him to have his hood up now that he had two fuzzy ears atop his head. He reached up to rub them with a frown as he realized how swore they were. This trip was going to be fun… He wasn't sure how he was going fight any akuma that came after him with his hood up and more over he didn't want to have his hood up because it made these damn things hurt. But no way in hell was he letting Bakanda see! But… what if he already knew and he was going through all of this for no reason? He frowned and turned to stare at his reflection out the window, which was hard to do because the passing by scenery was making his eyes try and focus on the movement. He hissed again and flopped over on the large seat he had all to him self for once, sighing.
"Maybe I'll take a nap…" he muttered with a yawn as he realized how warm he was getting inside his long sleeve uniform.
"Wish they would make these things a little thinner… I'm hot…" he muttered, letting his tail out from under his jacket and yawning softly as it flicked in the air behind him.
He'd fallen asleep before he'd even realized he'd started to drift off, snoozing softly as he lay in a small curled up ball on the seat. The sun was setting on the horizon, casting an orange glow into his private room and bathing him in warmth. A soft smile graced his lips as he slept, dreaming pleasant dreams for once as the tip of his tail flicked where it lay and his ears twitched to the constant clatter of the tracks.
Oh god no, Kanda had stepped in and the sound of the door opening had been what had woken him up. His eyes wide from shock they just stared at each other. Kanda's eyes held their normal glare but that was slowly turning to shock the longer they stared. They couldn't speak, or break eye contact, for what felt like years and then finally Kanda turned and stormed off with one hand over his face and his hair flaring out behind him.
"Oh no!" Allen jumped up, pulling his hood on and turning a deep red, burring his face in his tall collar to hide the blush as he stood to rush off after the Samurai.
"Kanda wait!" he called but the man didn't stop, stepping into his cart and locking the door so Allen couldn't get in.
Allen found him self standing there and staring at it red faced for the longest time. Wind whipped around him as he stood outside the door at the connection between the two carts. He sulked, whining to him self and once more repeating his new favorite catch phrase.
"Why me?" Then his fist found the door and he was pounding on it.
"Kanda open the door!" he yelled and kept knocking on it seeing as there was no answer.
"Kanda! Please!" he whined, why did he care what the man thought… or was he more knocking to get the man to answer because he was scared he'd tell lavi just to get the red head off his back for a while.
"Ka" the door opened and he nearly hit the man but stopped just in the nick of time.
"What do you want Moyoshi?" The Samurai growled as if nothing had happened.
Allen seemed relieved but he much have not realized he was crying before Kanda, after a long moment of the two standing in the freezing wind in silence, reached up to bush a tear away before twitching. The blush on Allen's cheeks darkened and he moved away, blinking and looking just as shocked as what Kanda had done as the PMSing moron him self.
"W-what was that for?" Allen hissed, hair brisling and Kanda just stared.
Once more the two stood in silence, was it because they had nothing to say or because they were to scared to answer each other's questions? Finally Allen managed to speak up, frowning slightly at the Asian.
"Don't tell anyone!" he voiced but that shaky order only made Kanda's eyes go cold and a slow grin spread across those lips.
"Or what?" he asked finally as Allen's heart sank.
"Or nothing, just please don't tell!" he pleaded as his ears dropped and he stared up at him.
Kanda's grin only spread and Allen whimpered, feeling his new tail tuck its way between his legs.
"Why not?" Kanda asked and stepped closer to him in a mincing way.
"What's in it for me?" he asked more coldly as he shut the door behind him and kept stepping closer to the albino.
"A-are you… black mailing me?" Allen gasped faintly as he backed up into the door behind him, trapping him self because it opened outwards.
"And if I am? What are you going to do about it? Neko Walker?" he mused in a way that seem so very out of character and made Allen's hair stand on end.
"This is yours and Lavi's fault in the first place!" Allen snapped and glared at him, suddenly unable to take all the stress he had been put under.
"If you guys hadn't been fooling around and hadn't spilt that purple stuff into my coffee then I wouldn't be stuck like this!" he yelled at him, fuming.
"So you better keep this a secret or I'll find out which bottle was used and put it in your noddles when we get back Bakanda!" he snapped and Kanda frowned at him as Allen turned to leave.
Allen had just pulled the door opened when Kanda's hand forced it shut and he felt Kanda loom over him, fuming his self now no doubt. But when he turned around, the PSMing Samurai seemed calmed but his eyes blazed. Allen froze in fear, he'd never seen that kind of look on the man's face before. Normally he was just angry but this? This was actually terrifying. Allen pressed his back against the metal door and his ears dropped instantly in submission, ok maybe threatening the guy wasn't the best idea in the world but he seriously was tired of this. Kanda loomed closer, eyes cold and glaring but face completely calm, this was when he was his most dangerous. Allen closer his eyes, waiting to be impaled or something, but it never came. His cursed eye cracked open and started at Kanda, who seemed far to close for comfort. His heart skipped a beat and he whimpered slightly as Kanda's hand found his cheek and the man smirked, those cold eyes actually seeming someone amused if Allen was reading that right. However he didn't have time to think about that because the next thing he knew, Kanda's lips were pressed firmly against his and his eyes were open wide. He tensed up, panicking to the point of being unable to move. His ears shot up in shock and his tail went strait, hairs standing on end as he just stood there. His heart pounded in his chest so loud he swore the Chinese man could hear it, though hoped to god he couldn't. Then their lips parted and Allen just stood there, shaking slightly in confusion and watched the man slowly lean away to smirk slyly down at him in silence.
"K…Kanda?" he finally managed to squeak but Kanda only smirked and leaned away, turning to head back to his cart.
"H-hey!" Allen yelped but it was to late, the PMSing Samurai was gone and he was left standing alone in the cold whipping wind between the carts.
For the longest time he just stood there, ears pinned back as he shook and stared at the door to Kanda's cart in confusion. What had that been about? Why had he done that? Now even more questions flooded his mind and finally he turned away and returned to his cart to sit on the floor under the table where oddly enough, he felt safe. His ears flicked as he shivered slightly, hand going to his lips as he sat there. Despite his best efforts to try and go back to sleep, what had just happened kept replaying in his head and he just sat there in silence with his fingers pressed to his lips. His cheeks felt hot and he thought to him self he must be blushing and was glad no one was around. What had that been about? He'd never seen Kanda act like that before, so cold yet so calm. It scared him a little and he hoped that he hadn't pissed him off to the point the man was going to tell anyone what had happened. But why would he? After all he'd been the one to kiss him, so why would he tell everyone? Of course he could just leave that out, and probably knew Allen wasn't willing to tell anyone he'd kissed him ether because that was more embarrassing than his ears. It was days like this that almost made him miss Cross… almost… But nothing could amount to the horror he'd felt while living with that mad man. He fell asleep leaning against the wall of his cabin, his ears pinned back as he slept, dreams haunting him. Tears dripped down his face, he had no idea why he was so emotional or why he couldn't seem to hide those emotions. It was probably the real side effect of what ever he's drank. It was the soft hand on his cheek that woke him and he slowly opened his eyes, leaning into the warm touch without realizing it and yawning as he purred a little. Then he jumped, hitting his head on the table above him as he realized Kanda had crawled up in front of him to try and wake him up. He yelped, hands going to his head as Kanda raised a brow and slid out from under the table.
"It's morning, time to eat." He voiced calmly and crossed his arms over his chest.
Allen slid out from under the table, hood back up, face red as he looked up at the Samurai who stared down at him like nothing had happened. Had last night just been a dream? And further more… why didn't he lock his door? But he stood, wiping his eyes clean and glared at him.
"I'm not hungry." He grumbled but Kanda seemed unwilling to take that as an answer because he grabbed his arm and pulled him along.
"Bakanda! I said I'm not hungry!" Allen protested as he was all but dragged along.
"Too bad, Leenalee told me to make sure you eat." He voiced in an annoyed tone.
"Why I have to baby sit you is beside me, what do I care what happens?" he growled.
Yeah ok last night was defiantly a dream of some kind.
"Let go of me I can walk on my own Bakanda!" Allen growled and to his relief his arm was let go.
He rubbed his wrist as he walked along, Kanda seemed even more violent than he normal was because his grip had been tight enough he swore it would bruise. His eyes locked on Kanda as they found a table and Allen sat down with his head on the table and most of his face hidden behind his arms as he slumped over. Kanda just leaned back in his seat and stared out the window till someone came over to take their order. Once more his craving for fish over took him and just to be safe he ordered a single dish of Salmon with a glass of milk. Kanda raised a brow at him and he hissed faintly at the man before going back to resting his head on the table. Kanda ordered the closest thing they had to his usual then leaned back once more as the waiter wondered off to put the order in at the next cart.
"About last night." So it hadn't been a dream, Allen tensed up and sat up, staring at him now, ears perking as best they could under his hood.
"What about it?" Allen asked calmly and almost curiously as Kanda kept his gaze on the passing scenery.
"Forget about it… ok?" Kanda muttered coldly and despite the fact that it had been sudden Allen felt his ears drop slightly and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"Alright." He muttered and slumped back over to rest his head on the table and wait.
His eyes turned to the window as they sat there, they were the only people eating right now it seemed other than one person sitting in a over sized coat and top hat with their back facing them and reading the paper, but he was to distracted to care about that.
He sighed, closing his eyes and trying to cast last night events out of his mind. What a crazy day... he'd woken up to find he had ears and a tale, been tackled by lavi, been sent on a mission with Kanda… and finally… Kanda had kissed him? What had that even been about? However he seemed to notice something… Everyone around him seemed far more affectionate than normal and he wondered why. Then he realized something. Komui had seemed very insistant that Kanda go along with him… and Kanda and Allen hated each other… So… maybe this was also a side affect of the potion! And Mayba Komui knew about it and did this on purpose! Allen shot out of his seat and hissed.
"That Bastard!" he yelled and Kanda turned a raised brow on him making him sweat drop and sit back down.
"Didn't know you could talk like that, bean sprout." Kanda teased in a flat voiced and Allen hissed at him again.
The stranger in the corner cast a glanced at the two but that was no where near abnormal so Allen just dismissed it and returned to waiting for his food.
"Shut up Bakanda." He grumbled and closed his eyes to relax.
It wasn't long before their food had arrived. Allen sat up and purred at the sight of the steaming hot fish and cool glass of milk. He silently wondered if his stomach would be able to handle it. He leaned back and pulled his chair closer to the table as it was set in front of him.
"Thank you." He voiced and smiled at the man who smiled back and he turned to pick up his fork and take a bite.
Kanda pulled out a pair of spare chop stick and was already eating his noodled with a look of disgust on his face when he stopped. Allen stopped as well, sniffing at his food with a frown, something was off. It was just as he thought those words that Kanda dropped his chop stick and slumped over in his seat. Allen gasped, dropping his fork and standing.
"Kanda!" he yelled in worry just before a knife snagged his hood and pinned it to the wall beside him.
He gasped and turned, eyes wide as they fell on the stranger who had been sitting in the corner smirking at him pass the shadows of his top hat. Bright yellow eyes glowed pass those shadows and the man stepped forwards, reaching up and gripping the edge of his hat as he stepped closer. Allen hissed at him and activated his arm, trying to swing at the man but soon realized he couldn't move it. He looked down, gasping at the thin cuts on his arm and the knives pinning his sleeve to the wall.
"Hello boy." That familiar voiced, Allen looked over, glaring at the figure.
"Tyki Mikk." He growled and the stranger pulled off his hat and let the jacket fall right through him.
That familiar smirk, those blood thirsty eyes, and he couldn't move, his legs were growing weak below him and he completely forgot about his ears. His gray eyes locked on the Noah man with hate burning in them even as the man approached and placed a finger under his chin.
"What did you do to Kanda." Allen growled but the man only chuckled.
"Still thinking of other over your self I see walker." He voiced as he leaned closer and Allen soon realized that yes indeed what ever had been done to him was making people act strange.
"Stop it!" he growled but the Tyki only gripped his chin and held him still.
"Don't worry, I didn't kill him. Though it funny how easy it would be to do so… just a little something in his food to make him sleep for a while." Tyki voiced and reached up with his other hand to touch his ear which twitched back and Allen hissed.
"Oh? You can feel that?" he asked and blinked as his hand let go of his chin and both found one ear each to tug and rub them.
"Huh, weird." He muttered as Allen whimpered and wiggled faintly from the strange feeling.
"S-stop that!" he growled more and managed to get his normal arm to swing at the man, but it just flew right through him and Tyki smirked.
"That was rude boy." He voiced and let go of his ears.
Allen hissed at him again then winced as the Noah smacked him and smirked as it left a red mark across his face. His ears fell back and he glared at him even as his chin was snagged up again and he was forced to look the man in the face.
"I know I'm still suppose to kill you but…" he muttered as he looked him up and down, those cruel yellow eyes calculating.
"That would be such a waste." He muttered and grinned from one ear to the next, literally.
Allen shivered and tensed up, tail attempting to hide between his legs again but that only seemed to catch the Noah's attention and Tyki grabbed it. Allen yelped and his legs went limp, Tyki catching him by his waist as he ran his hand up and down the fuzzy appendage that attempted to wrap around his hand as he stroked it.
"S-stop." Allen whimpered with tears in his eyes, damn that potion for making him emotional.
"Something's off about you boy." He voiced in a hum and leaned closer to him, still supporting his weight and stroking his tail.
"I don't think I've ever seen tears in your eyes before." He grinned and Allen glared at him making him chuckle.
"Much better, I like that look of defiance in your eyes." He whispered and leaned closer, Allen's heart raced as he gasped and his eyes widened, damn it not again!
Then Tyki shot back with a growl and Allen cringed as he hit the floor, Kanda moved over to stand between him and scowl.
"That didn't last nearly as long as I would have hoped." Tyki muttered as he half frowned half grinned at the Samurai.
"Kanda?" Allen looked up confused, that was the first time he had been saved by the guy so it came as a bit of a shock.
"Shut up Moyoshi." Kanda growled and Allen twitched slightly, yep same old Kanda.
Tyki took another step back as Kanda's blade came dangerously close to him, grinning.
"I think it's time I took my leave." He voiced and snagged up his hat, putting it on and tilting it with a bow.
"I'll see you some other time, boy." He glanced at Allen who was struggling to get free of the knife that had his clothes pinned, then he was gone.
Kanda swing just as Tyki stepped out the side of the train to escape, the samurai hissed in irritation and turned his glaring eyes on Allen which softened slightly as he seemed to notice his pathetic state.
"Don't move." He muttered and walked over, pulling the knife out of the wall and letting Allen fall to his knees shaking.
"He drugged the blades." Allen voiced and looked at his untransformed innocence and normal arm which were numb, his legs were as well.
"That so." Kanda muttered and moved away.
"H-hey!" Allen snarled at him as he tried to move and only fell over.
"Just stay there I'm going to go make sure there aren't any Akuma on board… and make sure someone is driving this damn thing."
Allen scowled as Kanda left the train, leaning him laying numb on the floor.
"Stupid Bakanda…" he muttered.
To be continued…
