The summer had finally rolled around. Kanda had been forced to stay with Allen while everyone else in his and Allen's family were out of town. Neither Tiedoll or Cross wanted them to be alone so Tiedoll had told Kanda to stay with Allen until they got back.
Tiedoll was traveling Europe for an art tour. Daisya was going to Spain and Portugal for some sort of soccer camp. Narain was moving onto the school's campus, so they won't see him as often. Marie went to Germany for a music convention; Cross was in Italy for who knows what, and Anita went back to China to learn new recipes.
Allen was slightly nervous about her first concert, but was determined to make it good, if not great. She planned on performing 'Dancer in the Dark', 'Circus Monster', 'Snow Kiss', 'Brightdown' and 'Worst Carnival'. It was possible that it would be in that order with maybe one break in between Snow Kiss and Brightdown to change.
Oh the joy of quick changes. However with the life she was going for she'd have to get use to it.
"Bakanda is missing again. Tim, have you seen him?" Allen asked her golden companion. The bird nodded and gestured to follow him. He led Allen to the back door that led to a sunroom. Past the sunroom was the backyard and training area.
Kanda was hitting multiple dummies with a wooden sword. He was focused and didn't notice as Allen leaned on the door outside of the sunroom while watching him. She looked bored even though she was intrigued by how graceful he made his movements.
Kanda paused and looked to the left to see Allen standing there. "Moyashi." "Its Allen, you jackass." She sighed and put her hands on her hips. "Do you always start practice this early?"
"Tch. Yes, but this is late considering I usually start at five." He grabbed his water bottle and a towel as he walked closer towards the much shorter female. "I thought you'd still be asleep right now." "It's 8 o'clock it's not unusual for me to be up like this during the summer. I don't sleep well in the heat." Allen said as she turned to walk inside. "Hn."
When they made it back to the main living room the doorbell rang. "I'll get it, you go take a shower. You reek of sweat." Allen smirked at his pointed look. She made a shooing gesture as her hand reached the handle.
Opening the door, Allen found two delivery guys. "We have orders for Allen Walker. One from a Mr. Cross and another from Millenium records." The first guy had light brown hair and dark green eyes. The other had black hair and blue eyes.
"I'm Allen Walker." The first held out a clipboard for her to sign as the other waited silently for her to do the same for the other packages. "Thank you have a nice day." Both males left the packages in the living room and then disappeared from the residence all together.
"I wonder what Cross sent me." Allen muttered as she searched for a box cutter. "That record company sending you stuff already?" Kanda asked dully. "Apparently. My guess is some sort of disguise, white hair isn't exactly common on people of our generation." Allen replied.
Kanda shrugged but waited for her to open the box and pull out its contents. She held up a wig that was dark auburn in color in one hand the other had a dark red sweater dress. Inside the box was a pair of long gloves and lace tights, both were black. Ankle boots matched the color of sweater and a black skater hat.
Below all of it was a note that read:
"Dear Allen, I hope this box finds you well. This is the disguise we had picked out for you-Road and Lulubell did most of the work on it. When we have rehearsal, I would like for you to wear what's in the box so that no one will recognize you as you come and go. We look forward to seeing you, Red.
Sincerely Millennium Earl."
Allen shrugged and passed the note to Kanda so he could read it then proceeded to open the box from Cross. She found that it was filled with more clothing. Black shorts and long sleeve tops, some being crop tops and jackets. "Looks like Cross went shopping in Italy." Kanda looked over and found that there were indeed more clothing for Allen.
When she removed her stuff she found male clothes in the bottom of the box. "Not just for me apparently." She handed Kanda the bundle and he looked through the items. "What makes him think I'll even wear these?" He demanded in an angry was shocked to find that they were all in his size and found a note from Cross as well.
"Because I say so, samurai boy."
Allen shrugged. "He'd probably say something like 'Because I say so.' Or something like that." She turned around and saw Kanda had crushed the note in his fist. A pissed look adorned his face. "I hate that redheaded geezer."
