Chapter 1

Aggravating Reunion

Summary: Kumari, Kanda's best friend from a few years ago. They were close whether he admitted it or not. She sticked with him and he grew to like her. One day though, a mission went bad and everyone thought Kumari died in battle. Little did they know she actually survived. How? That's what they're going to find out, but first, they must convince her to come back and fight. To stay without trying to run away. SInce she seems to have changed a bit and doesn't want to come back for the first few months. Although it seems she has changed alot, this girl is almost exactly the same. When time passes Kanda grows more fond of her and something sparks between them. Now everyone is losing their sanity as things take a big turn with them. Seeing how everything with either of them is always more than they seem. It is more than this.

Hope you enjoy this.

"Welcome Kanda." Komui greeted.

"Che, what is it?" Kanda said.

Komui put his mug down and folded his hands. A glint appeared over his glasses as he got serious. "I have a special mission for you." Komui said.

"Just get to the point." Kanda spat.

"Do you remember Kumari?" Komui asked.

Something sparked in Kanda's eyes as he heard the name. It had been a long time since someone mention the name. The name of an old exorcist. "I take that as a yes. We discovered something very interesting about her. It seems she is alive and well. She is making a living while traveling. She sings and is amazing at it might I add. Anywho, we need you to go pick her up. She won't come willingly otherwise she would already be here. Good luck!" Komui said as he handed Kanda a folder.

Komui left the room and Kanda stood there. Just staring at the folder. He opened it and two pictures fell. He picked them up and looked at them. One was a girl as a kid and the other was a girl around his age. They looked completely different. There was no way they were the same person. He put the pictures aside and read the papers. She was in town. At least it wouldn't take that long. Kanda left with thoughts aroused in his head. It's been years and she was dead. This had to be a mistake, but if it was then why was he going?

Kanda walked into a crowded building. He heard someone singing and went to check it out. Surely enough, it was her. He sat at a table with his arms folded as he watched. Her voice was nice. It was beautiful. It didn't disturb him. He waited for hours until everyone left. He was still there waiting for everyone to leave. He looked around and didn't see her anywhere. Kanda stood up and went in the back. "Can I help you sir?" a man asked.

Kanda raised the picture and the man looked at it. "Where is she?" Kanda asked.

"She left after she got her check. I think she is staying at a nearby inn though." he said.

Kanda turned around and went outside. He looked around and didn't see her. This town was huge and many inns were in this town. He would never find her. He would have to just wait until morning. He sat by the door as the sun went down and the stars polluted the sky. All the lights in town were all vanishing and it was pitch black. If not for the stars Kanda wouldn't be able to see a thing. He fell asleep and was awaken by the sun and a noisy person. "Who are you?" a girl asked.

He looked up and stared at her. This was her. "You're coming with me." Kanda said.

"What are you talking about?" she asked.

Kanda stood up and looked down at her. She was holding a bag with one hand and she was wearing jeans, a tang top that was like a belly shirt, but longer, and a red and yellow jacket. The sleeves only went a little pass her elbows though. She looked at him and her eyes landed on Mugen. The coat didn't bother her, but the sword was a dead giveaway that the person knew her. "Yuu."

Kanda narrowed his eyes. This really was Kumari. "I'm not going back to that hellhole." Kumari said as she went inside.

"Yes you are." Kanda said, following.

"You can't make me." Kumari said.

"Is that a bet?" Kanda asked.

"Yuu leave. I'm not going back no matter what. Besides, you can't take me from London to Paris. If you did manage to capture me and take me back. I would get free before that happened." Kumari said.

"Where's your innocence?" Kanda asked.

"I got it with me. I'm not handing it over though." Kumari answered.

"You don't have to." Kanda said as he grabbed her wrist.

She turned around and kicked him. He went flying across the room. He stood up and boy was he mad. He madly walked back to her and she just hit him again. He grabbed her hand and threw her. She got back up and a fight began. Kanda hit, dodged, hit, blocked and Kumari did the same. She seemed to have the better of him though. She had more knowledge of fighting in hand to hand combat than Kanda. He used a sword all the time, but wasn't smart enough to learn anything else. Which was a pity given his strength. As long as Kanda didn't get his sword then Kumari had the advantage because she knew several types of fighting. Kendo, ty gi, Karate, women self defense, ty qui, you name it. She was a fighting prodigist. Although, Kanda did do better when it came to swords. It also didn't help that the only weapon she really ever uses is a staff or sais. She didn't feel comfortable with swords or any other weapon for that matter.

Kanda somehow wound up on top of her trying to keep her pinned down. He held her wrists above her head so she didn't punch him. She tried to kick him, but her legs couldn't reach him. Which wasn't good for her. Kumari tried to get him off of her or to release her hands, but it was no use. "You're coming back to the Order with me." Kanda ordered.

"I told you I'm not going back." Kumari said, still struggling.

"I don't care. Orders are orders. You are going back." Kanda said.

"Orders? You moron! You're stronger than them. You don't have to take orders from them!" Kumari shouted.

Kanda looked at her. He should be angry, but he was rather calm. Kumari wasn't though. "You've changed." Kanda said without thinking.

"Huh? Oh, yeah." Kumari replied, calming down.

Kumari looked at him. He had gotten way taller and his hair was much longer. He looked angrier though. Like he was in constant turmoil. Then he looked satisfied. "It's been so long Yuu." Kumari said aloud.

Kanda stared at her deep, bright red eyes. They had always been pools of wonder. Her hair was violet and the bangs were a light, light, and very bright green. The hair shined under the light. They were the same as before, but her facial appearances weren't. He decided to stop reminiscing in some nostagic and some aggravating memories. He saw a carpet off to the side and put her on it and rolled her up in it. Kanda picked her up and put her over his shoulder. She blinked a few times until she realized the position she was in. She wiggled around, but the carpet only wrapped around her tighter and it was getting hot in it. "Yuu Kanda release me this instant! This is kidnapping and illegal! Yuu! Are you listening to me? Yuu!" Kumari shouted.

Kanda just ignored her complaints as he walked through town into the forest. She was still shouting. It was probably a good thing he didn't tell her that headquarters moved to just outside London otherwise she would find her way out of this. He gave an annoyed sighed as she continued her shouting. "For the last time Yuu, put me down! I told you I'm not going back!"

"Don't call me that! It's Kanda maggot!" Kanda finally lost it.

She stared at his head with a not caring look. "Yuu, Yuu, Yuu, Yuu, Yuu, Yuu! Yuu! Yuu! YUU!" she repeated.

Kanda's eyebrow twitched with anger. The sooner he got there the better. She began moving around again and kept hitting on the head. Even without the use of her arms and legs she was still beating him! When he saw the castle like building he was grateful. His steps got bigger and his pace faster. Only a few minutes passed until he got to the door. The gatekeeper stopped him from going any further though. He did the inspection and it went swell. To Kanda it took to long, but at least there were no problems like with Allen or Krowley. He walks through the halls to the science division where Komui was talking with Lenalee and Lavi. Kanda could hear footsteps from the other hallway and Allen was coming with Krowley, Miranda, Noise, Daisyia, Chaoji, and Timothy. Komui must've predicted more resistance from Kumari.

They all stared at the girl Kanda was holding though. She was still yelling and she managed to get her hands free so she was punching his back. Kanda held the edge of the rug and threw her, releasing her from it, but her back hit the wall hard. She sat up as she got her bag and was about to run off when, "Don't let her leave!" Komui shouted.

They all stared at her for a minute until one of them actually moved. A minute later her arms were tied to her side and she was tied to a chair. Lavi and ropes. They don't mix at times, but this was pretty useful. Kanda sat down as everyone stared at the pissed off girl. "Uh, Komui? Who's the girl?" Reever asked.

"You mean to tell me you don't reconize her? I know she has changed, but is there really that big of a difference?" Komui said, readjusting his glasses.

"Komui, I'm gonna kill you and Yuu when I get out of these damn ropes!" Kumari shouted.

General Tiedoll and Yeagar walked in and blinked as they looked at the scene. "Brother, who is she?" Lenalee asked.

"Kumari Janco." Komui said.

Lavi looked at her then he let an image of her a few years ago pop in his head. "What! This girl is like. . . hot! Kumari was just. . . .well, she was flat out ugly!" Lavi shouted.

Lenalee elbowed him in the stomach very hard. "That is very rude Lavi!" Lenalee said.

Kumari calmed down as General Yeagar came over to her. He stared deep into her eyes, but she just glared at Kanda. He gladly returned it. "Kumari." Yeagar said with happiness.

"Yeah, yeah. This is where we would usually talk and get to know each other, but I want the hell out of here!" Kumari shouted.

"I'm afraid we can't do that." Komui responded.

"Why not?" Kumari asked.

"You're an exorcist. We can't just let you leave." Komui said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

Which it pretty much was. "You wouldn't of had to let me leave if you didn't send Yuu after me." Kumari said.

"True, but we are to bring all exorcists here." Komui said.

"So this really is Kumari chief?" Reever asked.

"Yep."

Daisyia and Marie sat down beside Kand and Tiedoll as they stared at her. General Yeagar was sitting beside them as well. All eyes on her. "For the last time, release me. You kidnapped me and it's illegal to take anyone anywhere against their will." Kumari said.

Komui sipped his coffee as he stared at her. "You kidnapped her?" Allen asked.

"We didn't have a choice." Komui said.

"I'm not going to stay here. You could send me on a mission, but I'll disappear. Just one good opening and I'm gone for good." Kumari reminded him.

"That's why we'll wait for you to agree to stay before we release you." Komui replied.

She sighed as she looked at her bag on the floor. If only she could get her hands, or specifically, feet, on it then she could get her sai. Komui planned ahead though. 'If I wasn't stupid enough to reminisce then I wouldn't be here. If they would've sent anyone else, anyone but Yuu then I. . . I wouldn't be here. Damn.' Kumari thought. "So Kumari, how has life been?" Lenalee asked.

Kumari looked at the girl. "You hair was cut." she simply stated.

"Yeah." Lenalee replied, remembering what happened.

"Where have you been all these years?" Yeagar asked.

"Away from here." Kumari said.

"Where have your manners gone?" Yeagar asked, rather disappointed in her.

"So this is Kumari. She is so different." Lavi said, looking her up and down.

Kumari watched as most of the exorcists left, leaving only one she didn't know. Allen. "Prove that you are Kumari Janco." Lavi said.

Kumari thought he was dumber than before. She said plenty of things that should of proven she was herself. He was either ignoring everthing or he was dumber than a rock. "When Yuu hit puberty his voice got really high pitched and he sounded like a girl. Lavi then got a pink and fluffy dress and put it on Yuu." Kumari said nonchalantly.

Lavi snickered as he recalled that memory. Lenalee tried her best not to laugh, but a small giggle crawled it's way out. Allen didn't mind laughing. Afterall, Kanda was a jackass to him. Kanda's eyes filled with rage and Marie and Dasiyia had to hold him down from killing her. He might've not killed her, but still. "Now, now my son, calm down. Didn't you miss her? You took her death the hardest. Well, it wasn't her death seeing how she is alive, but still, you two were close and inseparable." Tiedoll told him.

"Actually, you just couldn't get Kumari to leave his side." Marie said.

"Remember? That's why she traveled with us and went on missions with Yuu all the time. Although, she was General Yeagar's apprentice." Daisyia reminded his master.

"Oh right." Tiedoll said.

"Stop calling me Yuu! It's Kanda morons." Kanda said.

"Yuu needs a nappy. Don't you Yuu." Kumari said, just to irritate him.

"It's Kanda." Kanda said threateningly.

"Who cares? I didn't want to come here and you still didn't listen. So it's Yuu for you Yuu." Kumari said.

Kanda walked in front of her and held Mugen to her throat. She looks at it idly. "You really going to threaten me with Mugen? When I'm strapped to a chair and can't even defend myself? You have gotten so low." Kumari responded.

Kanda looked into her eyes and something kept him from even scratching her. He put Mugen away and left the room. "You haven't changed one bit." Kumari said as he walked off.

Kanda disregarded her words and left to his room. He knew she was staring at his back, but he didn't care. He just wanted to get away from her. She was just an annoying little brat. The only thing that changed about her is her sass. Her impudence just might make her regret a few things. Especially in a place like this. Kanda didn't really have any room to say anything though, but then again, he did. He's been like this his entire life and he was happy as he could ever be. . . for him. Annoyed, but happy.

Kumari's attitude, she just gained self confidence. Other than that, she's too kind for her own good. When she fought him she didn't give it her all. She didn't want to hurt an old time friend. And even though Kanda was mad, he felt something in him spark. Like he was glad she was here. Like he was happy that Kumari was alive. This feeling wasn't bad, but he didn't like it too much. He was just afraid of opening up and actually having a good feeling. Or new feelings to be exact. "Kumari. . . . ." Kanda mumbled as he sat in his bed.
