Hanashi: Hey all! So...funny story, but apparently a few days ago my flash drive has died.
Kanda: What the hell does that even mean?
Hanashi: It means all my shit is lost to me, and I have no meas of getting it back.
Allen: So how do you have all this then?
Hanashi: It was one of two stories that never got saved onto my flash-drive out of luck...ugh, I've got so many doujins to recollect now!
Allen and Kanda: ...
Hanashi: Anyway, I don't own D. Gray-man, unless I'm suddenly Katsura Hoshino, which I'm not, being I'm not even Japanese...also, the orginal title of this fic was "Yullen Week 2012" by Karuka-chan, who allowed me to adopt this fic :) That being said, enjoy the fic!
=One: Off the Maps=
He had always known that where he lived was hard to find. So when a stranger appeared on his front door step one day, you could say he was mildly surprised. The stranger looked to be from Asian descent and had sharp yet attractive features. The first thought that went through his head was 'debt collectors from his womanizer of a master.'
But seeing as the man didn't have anything that screamed 'DEBT COLLECTOR', Allen found himself answering the door.
"Can I help you sir?" he asked when he opened the door. The man on the porch scowled and looked away from the house, obviously angered by something.
Kanda POV
Kanda cursed at his supposed 'best friend' Lavi. The idiot had told him that the one who could release him from his curse lived in a small home away from any civilization.
He had of course listened to the usagi and had taken the map. And since the map was made by the aforementioned red-head, it was very detailed, all the way down to where medium sized stones were located. Thus the finding of the building was very easy and the time needed to travel lessened.
However, the thing that surprised him was that someone actually lived in such a remote place and didn't go insane from the lack of people. Not that he minded though.
"I need a place to stay for the night, and it's too far from a hotel." Kanda curtly spoke, hoping that the kid would just give him a straight answer and not have to ponder too much on it. His wish was granted. Only about a minute had passed before the boy nodded his head and moved to the side, letting Kanda walk into the house.
"Please make yourself comfortable, I will go make some tea. Is there a specific type you would prefer?" the kid asked in a tenor voice, almost that of a women.
"Green tea." Kanda sat on the white couch and gazed around the room. It was plain to be blunt. The walls only had a mirror and a small picture of a small child with a man. A small fireplace was sitting on the left side while a reclining chair was sitting across the room from it. Behind the couch was the kitchen area which only consisted of a small table, two chairs and a stove.
Allen POV
Allen set the kettle on the stove and placed the tea leaves inside. It was his first guest in a long time and he didn't quite know how to properly host. Hoping that he was right in letting the stranger stay, Allen quickly poured the tea in a mug and walked back into the room that held his guest.
"Here you go." Allen handed the mug over to the Japanese and sat down on the other side of the couch. "So, what is your name? I can't just call you guest now can I?" Allen asked before turning away so as not to show his rather flushed face. His guest in turn shrugged before slowly taking in a breath to heave a sigh.
"Kanda." Allen nodded and was about to say something when his guest began to speak.
"Look, I was told that there was someone around this area that can undo curses. Do you know where I can find them so that my fucking curse can be undone?" Kanda all but hissed.
Allen stood stock still for the duration of the minute, his mind flinging itself into a bought of chaos. How does this man know about me? he thought to himself before preparing for the inevitable. He wasn't sure how that man found him for he had made sure he lived in a place far off the maps.
Well, that's all for the first chapter guys. I'm almost done with the second one, so it should be up either later today, or early tomorrow depending on distractions in life...oh and I also did some minor edits, nothing serious, mostly grammar.
Y'all know the drill! R&R! Reviews are welcome! Ah, before I forget~! The rest of the chapters are all basically mine, so I get to be creative with this :D Yayz!
