Disclaimer: I do not own Man or any of the characters in the man series. If I did then this this and this would happen...

I do however own Ashla and the plot.

I'm still learning how to use Fanfiction. With that said, I had posted this already and made some mistakes. I ended up deleting it. I just keep confusing myself with this. So please leave some review, so I can know what to improve on. Thank you and please enjoy.


A girl of 18 years of age sat at a table with a few other people. Her hair was short, layered and black, her eyes dark brown and she had caramel colored skin. She was quite the attractive girl. Or at least that's what Lavi said every other minute of the day. At this point she had been at the black order for roughly 2 years. It didn't feel strange, not at all. If felt mostly like home, with all the other exorcists. Along with the arguments, the stupidity, even right down to the food…

"I think that's what I like best." The caramel colored girl said. Another female exorcist, with a tint of green in her hair turned to her. She was of Chinese decent, her hair long and black. She was very beautiful, even her personality. She always had her hair in pigtails, something that made her cuter.

"What was that Ashla?" She looked up from her book, at her of her best friend.

"Oh…? I didn't even realize that I had even said anything." She gave Ashla that smile, that one that made her famous around there. Lenalee was one of the first people that ever befriended her at the order. Being one of the only other female exorcists. Lenalee and Ashla became friends quite quickly.

"So I heard that Komui has been bugging you again." She sighed at the occurrence that happened oh so often.

"No, not really. I think everyone's just over reacting." Lenalee sighed

"You sure? Once he knows its okay, he'll get more persistent."

"Well yeah… I think I'll be fine. If something happens, you'll know. "

"Yeah. Just try not to hurt him to bad. He's still my brother." Ashla smiled.

"No problems on that." She winked at her beautiful friend and returned to her book, which was until she heard frantic running in the hall. From the looks of it, Lenalee heard this too. Both the girls looked at the huge doors to the library.

"What's going on?" Lenalee asked. At that moment Allen came bursting through the library doors. Both Ashla and Lenalee looked at the silver haired boy. For a moment a sharp scream was heard echoing through the halls, followed by a.

"Yu stop! I won't touch it anymore!"

"Don't call me that!" Lenalee sighed and placed a hand over her face, as Ashla laughed at the future bookman screaming in the hall. Allen who was already hiding behind a bookshelf, peeked his head out just in time to see Lavi stumbled into the room, collapsing to the ground. He was covered in bites, and scratches. Ashla took one good look at Lavi and began to giggle. An angry Yu stood at the door to the library, holding Mugen in a displeased manor. From the looks of things, Lavi or Allen did something to make him angry. What a surprise, and with that Yu released his hell insects. Ashla looked him in the eyes, with a smile spread across her face.

"What happened this time?" Lenalee asked the hiding Allen.

"Lavi and I were minding our own business, when he sat down at the table across from us." Ashla and Yu held fixed glances for a moment, before Yu spit out his traditional. 'Tch.' Before looking away. For a moment Ashla thought that he had a very pale pink spread onto his cheeks. She brushed it off, as quickly as it came. ~Must be my imagination. ~

"When Lavi got up I fallowed and well… We started to put Yu's hair into pigtails." Allen looked down at the floor. "With braids…" Ashla couldn't help it this time. She burst out into laughter, holding her sides for support. Kanda shot her, his famous death glare. She continued to laugh, not caring for the consequences.

"Yu would look so adorable!" She shouted in her fit of laughter. Kanda on the other hand grew very irritated… which Ashla could tell. She quieted up, but still snickered. Her face turning red as she bent down to pick up the beaten up Lavi. She looked up at Kanda's back as he stomped away angry. She giggled again, thinking that Kanda would like Lenalee. It just seemed so cute. Lavi who Ashla forgot about for a moment was staring at her breasts. She looked down at him, and smiled Ashla returned the smile and dropped him.

"Awwwwww…. Why'd you let goooo?" Lavi whined.

"Because I already knew what you were thinking."

"But but I wasn't thinking of anything….." He rolled over onto his back and smiled again.

"I don't believe you…" Ashla kneeled back down to Lavi, who had a pervy smile spread across his features. She poked him hard in the side. "Stop it." He jumped being surprised and not expecting it.

"Whyyyyy?" She poked him again. Being a little painful he flinched.

"Because I said so."

"Aw, but I like it." Lenalee and Allen stood there watching the two 18 year olds. She poked him again, but instead of waiting for a response she walked over to her table and sat down. Lenalee fallowed her and sat down alongside her. Ashla finally looked at Allen, his clothes were a bit torn here and there, and he had quite a few bites along his neck and hands. ~Yu got them good. ~

"Hey, isn't it getting close to lunch?" Allen asked as he looked at the clock on the wall. They all looked at Allen in puzzlement. Considering that it was barely going to ten. Lavi who had been lying on the floor jumped up onto his feet.

"Hey Ashla could I ask you something?" Ashla looked over at her friend, with a curious look in her eyes.

"Yeah." Just as he was about to say something, Ashla's golem began to beep, and fly rapidity around her head.

"Ashla I need you to come to my office." She looked up at the tiny winged creature, that calmed.

"Am I being sent out on a mission?" Ashla said, well standing up.

"Yes." Ashla stood up.

"Okay. I'm on my way." Lenalee looked up at her friend.

"I'll check out the book for you. So you can take it with you."

"Thank you Lenalee. You know where I'll be." Right after Lenalee spoke her golem, began spinning and dancing.

"Lenalee-chan! Oh my beautiful sister you." Komui began to sing into the golem. Ashla sighed and grabbed her golem and stuck it into her pocket. After which, everyone heard crying. "Don't you love your big brother anymore?" Shouting into the golem.

"Onii.." She shook her head and sighed deeply. Ashla giggle at Lenalee miss fortune. "Why do you always say such embarrassing things?"Ashla laughed as she walked out the room with the singing golem.

"What were you going to ask her?" Once she was out of sight, Allen asked Lavi. Lenalee was curious too.

"Nothing really." He blushed slightly at this. Allen saw the look on his face.

"You like her, don't you?" Lenalee said out of the blue. Both Allen and Lavi looked at the innocent Lenalee shocked. Lavi calmed himself down a little before continuing.

"Well, kinda."

"You know how she is. She won't let you get that close to her." Allen said, as he gave his friend a concerned look. "Besides you know how Yu feels about her." Lavi's eyes widen. Apparently he didn't know.

Ashla walked to Komui's office. Kanda was already standing in the door way. As soon as she saw him, she started snickering. Picturing him in a dress and pig tail braids. He turned around giving her his famous death glare.

"Awe don't get mad." His eyebrow twitched, as she walked passed him. "Don't give me that look. I've done nothing wrong." Komui looked at the two exorcists in front of him.

"I'm glad you get along." That's when she relized that her golem had stopped singing. Ashla smiled at her friend standing in the doorway. "Good…. Your mission will take place in China. You will investigate a sighting of shadow like creatures coming in and out of a farm. And I want you two, to investigate it. There may be a possibility of innocence in the area." He handed Kanda a paper with all the information on it. Ashla walked up beside him to read what was on it. Brushing up against him by accident. A pale shade of pink spread across his cheeks, as he pushed Ashla away. He ending up handing her the paper and walked over to the desk. She looked down at the paper going over all the information. She looked up at Komui and Kanda who were talking.

"Who are the finders that will be going with us?" She asked. Seeing as how Kanda didn't look the paper properly, he was angry.

"I'm not taking any finders. It's dead weight. I think that I should do this alone." Komui adjusted his glasses with his index finger.

"You need to be able to work with others." Komui said as he looked the two over.

"She'll just slow me down." Glancing at Ashla

"Come on Yu. This isn't the first mission we've been on together."

"Tch. Whatever." He walked towards the door.

"Fine, we'll only send one finder. It'll be Johen." Kanda turned around to face Ashla.

"Hurry up. If you don't I'll just leave you here." He walked out the door, almost running over Lenalee. Once Yu passed by, Lenalee entered handing Ashla her coat and her bag.

"Thank you Lenalee." Before walking out the door Ashla hugged her friend. After which she heard a commotion behind her.

"Stop it Onii!" With this Ashla giggled, knowing well what she had caused. When she was outside the Black Order. Kanda and Johen were waiting outside.

"I thought that you were going to leave if I took too long." Kanda scuffed and turned away. Ashla greeted Johen. He was a older man, he looked as though he was in his late forties. His hair was a mix between silver and black and it was pulled into a short tail. He wore the same cloak that all the other finders wore and he carried a talisman with him. The three of the just began walking away when they heard a loud crash coming from inside the woods. Kanda then grabbed onto Mugen and sprinted in the direction of the woods.

"Are we under attack?" Johen asked as Ashla jumped in front of him.

"Mugen activate." He said as he slide his fingers across the blade, making it light up. Ashla grabbed her sword at the hilt and waited. After a few seconds of waiting, Ashla heard the most skin crawling scream.

"Oh, it's just Lavi." She sighed. Johen who was still behind her, pointed out that an enraged Kanda was walking back to them. She couldn't suppress a smile as she saw the giddy Lavi walking behind. She was angry as well, thinking that they were under attack. But also very much relieved that it wasn't an akuma.

"Yo…" Lavi said with a cheeky grin on his face, waving to Ashla and Johen.

"Young Lavi gets into a lot of trouble."

"So I've seen."

"Stop fallowing me Usage!" Lavi put a hand on Kanda's shoulder; Kanda turned around and shot him a death glare. Lavi smiled and put his hand up in a surrendering gester. "Why are you here?"

"I wanted to give Ashla something." Kanda turned quickly to Ashla and glared, to which she shrugged her shoulders.

"Tck." And he turned his back away from the two.

"You know Yu will leave me if you take too long." Lavi walked up Ashla and bring her into a hug. Kanda watching at the corner of his eye. "Lavi what the hel-" Lavi bent down to kiss the confused Ashla. Her face lit up bright red, shocked she just stood there staring. Kanda who watch the whole thing turned red with anger.

"Hurry up! Or you go nowhere!" He shouted, making the two teens jump.

"Sorry Yu." Lavi looked at Ashla to which she turned away and pushed him off of her. "I'll see you guys when you get back." He smiled waving his hand at the group and winked at Ashla. She placed a finger to her lips and turned a deeper shade of red, replaying the event in her head. She began picturing Kanda kissing her, but she quickly brushed off the image. ~Kanda hates everything. No point in pretending that there might be a chance.~ Kanda how ever had his back facing them, attempting to hide his face. He was the first to leave, in his cool and collective manor.

Ashla was looking out the train, while Kanda subconsciously watched her carefully. Taking in every feature of her body, her face, her hips, her legs, even right down to her hands. Johen had left earlier to go find some drinks.

"Have you ever been to China?" This broke Kanda out of his trance, to simply answer yes. "Really, what's it like there?" He shrugged his shoulders in an 'I don't remember' manor. "How about Japan?" She asked, this time turning her head to face him.

"Yes."

"Is it very beautiful?" He just turned his head toward the scenery, avoiding eye contact.

"I've answered your questions. Now leave me alone." Ashla looked at Kanda.

"Hey so how long have you had a thing for Lenalee?" Kanda coughed in surprise. His eyes wide, but only for a second.

"You do have a thing for her don't you?" He looked Ashla in the eyes. Piercing her gaze with his own.

"No." She stood up and got closer to his face.

"I don't believe you." She stated. The two of them were only inches apart. At this Kanda's cheeks were beginning to flush with a pale pink. "Do you love her?" She raised her hand to touch his face, but he intercepted it.

"No!" He said practically shouting at her. This surprised her, it seemed like he was hiding something. At this the door to their room opened, and Johen came in with the drinks they asked for. Ashla jumped back into her seat, but seeing as how Kanda never let go of her he was dragged along. Thus landing on Ashla in a very compromising position. She looked up at the hovering male. One hand still had hers as the other was leaning against the wall behind her for support. She glanced up at his face, it was a little darker than earlier. His eyes hidden with his hair, she was staring at him. This felt new to her, this felt like a different kind of Kanda.

"Eh ehm." Johen who still standing at the door with their drinks in hand, cleared his throat alerting the two. Ashla turned beat red. Kanda then reluctantly let go of her hand, when let go it felt as though all the warmth in her hand was gone. He sat down in his former position and quickly looked out the window. Johen finally entered the room and handed Ashla her drink, and then Kanda's. Kanda took his drink respectively, and began sipping it. For the rest of the trip to China Kanda avoided eye contact. Even on the ship to go overseas he refused to look Ashla in the eyes, that was until Johen told them some more info on the area.

"What's up Johen?" Ashla said as she came to the dining table. Kanda walked beside her, he was walking kinda funny. They sat down and ordered food.

"When we get to the Chinese port. We're going to be meeting another finder. From what Komui says he already knows exactly where the area is at." Kanda was already irritated enough. Seeing that he gets seasick, Ashla had been teasing him the entire way. It was kinda funny. Ashla would tease him, and offer to teach him to swim, and he would insult her and get more angry. It was like this the entire trip, to which Ashla enjoyed.

"We don't need him to come."

"You know we'll get lost if he doesn't come." Ashla stated to the angry Japanese male.

"We can find our own way." Kanda said as his face turned a different color.

"Right. Any way will you be accompanying us all the way there?" Johen shook his head.

"After you get to the port, we'll be splitting paths. I have to go to Korea to investigate another finder's request."

"What's the Finder's name?" Ashla asked.

"I believe his name is Zie." At that moment the food had arrived.

"Looks delicious." She smiled. For the rest of dinner Kanda just stared at his food, only eating bites here and there.


I'm sorry This story was originally supposed to be a one shot. But I decided to put it into a three part. So I can feel smarter.
