Author's Note: Another thought and take on Kanda and Neah when they finally interact since Kanda was the first to see him awake. Plus, I kept wondering why Mugen evolved differently from Crown Clown and Dark Boots. Not only that, his Innocence didn't protect him like Allen's and Lenalee's Innocence did. Then again, it went under the radar so I got curious after watching all 3 seasons plus all the chapters up to its current one.
I would love to hear your thoughts! :3. Thank you!
The tip of his upgraded blood katana pointed at his victim's temple, between his eyes. Without a blink nor movement, they stood with a long stare match.
"You have come a long way and stronger than before, General Kanda Yuu." as he emphasizing his title.
"So you finally showed your pathetic face, the Fourteenth." in his monotone voice.
"Please call me Neah, General." as he emphasized the title again.
"Just Kanda, you bastard. What the hell are you scheming?" as Kanda adjusted Mugen where the tip is only a hairline away from touching Neah.
"Kanda Yuu. Assist me with this plan." with Neah not breaking his eye contact with him.
"Why should I side with you?" as Kanda adjusted his jacket's collar where his golem was hidden and asleep.
"Why did you ignored my early awakening in Paris?" as Neah kept in his firm position.
Kanda paused. "I hate the Order more than your kind and Akumas."
"I detest humans and Innocences alike. But-" Neah chuckled as he combed his dark locks back, "what if I told you that there is a way to end this Holy War-" pausing to only see Kanda's poker face, "will it entice you to participate?"
"A General. I only accepted this damn position so I can kill you freely without restrictions if you took complete over of the stupid Moyashi's body."
Neah laughed while holding his forehead and looked at Kanda with his left eye covered by his hand. "Timcanpy showed me many footage of Allen's journeys and misadventures. Most of all, his little violent spat with you and his nickname."
Kanda sheathed Mugen back into its sleeve. "No, I will not betray my Innocence nor-" he paused a bit, "them."
Neah's golden orbs slit like a dragon with his sinister smile as he moved silently and swiftly up close to Kanda with one of his hand over Kanda's forearm, where his Innocence stigmata was, and another on his cheek.
Kanda slightly winced at the contact on his stigmata, but stood his ground.
"Kanda Yuu." as Neah pulled him closer where he can whispered in his ear. "Have you ever thought why your Innocence stayed and endured of your selfish recklessness?"
He stayed quiet and clicked his tongue.
"Crown Clown and Dark Boots protected their Accommodators." as his thumb swirled around the covered stigmata. "Mugen continued to evolve with you. I wonder why..."
Neah slid his hand down from Kanda's cheek, along his jawline and neckline, and resting it on his shoulder as he pushed him up. His eyes locking onto his blue eyes while keeping his creepy smile. He kept his thought of how unblemished and smooth his skin was and mentally chuckled to keep note to deeply scarred them the next time they meet.
"Do not worry. You won't fall." Neah paused and smirked. "Cross Marian didn't fall. Remember my offer, General Kanda Yuu."
Neah silently mouthed and disappeared as the breezy leaves blew by.
"Che." as Kanda placed Mugen on his waist and brushed off the lingering touch of that stupid Noah.
Kanda turned heels as he walked back to his lodging, frowning on Neah's silent last words and his damn smile.
"I can return Allen Walker to everyone with your unexpected assistance."
