Yuki R. : Yay! Another new story from the deep abyss I call my mind! I've been working on this one for quite a while, just never got the chance to actually type it out. Only two OC's in this one, and Kanda may seem a bit OOC at times later on, so be warned! Also, this first part will move a little fast with getting them into relationships, but after that, it will be kinda slow and detailed. So, here you go! Please enjoy!
Chapter 1
"Hey everyone, we have new recruits coming today." Komui's voice rang boredly over the intercom speakers that were nowhere to be seen.
"New recruits? Why now of all times?" Kanda grumbled he hated amateurs, and today he was in no mood to deal with them.
"I heard that Kanda. Now you and Allen go greet them and show them around until they get the hang of things. Go, now." The intercom shut off and everyone went back to his or her usual business.
"Great, now I gotta babysit more annoying kids." Kanda grumbled. He hated doing this kind of stuff. After a few minutes of brooding he sighed and reluctantly went to find the small General. He stopped at Allen's door and knocked. After a moment, it opened to reveal the white haired teen.
"Who is it? Oh, what do you want, Kanda?" Allen didn't like when Kanda came to visit him. Which wasn't often. But when he did, it was usually when he was in a foul mood, like Allen suspected he was now.
"C'mon shortstack, we have to greet the newbies. Komui said 'recruits', so there's obviously more than one. Let's just get this over with before I change my mind and hack Komui into tiny fucking pieces." Kanda stormed off down the corridor, Allen quickly in tow.
'I'm glad he didn't come just to hit me this time.' Allen thought. He followed Kanda all through the Order to the front gates. But when he rounded the corner, he slammed into Kanda's back. The sheer force knocked him backwards. He almost toppled over, but caught his balance at the last moment.
"Hey! What did you sto-" Allen stared wide-eyed at the two teenage girls standing before them, only a dozen or so feet meters away. They were stunning, to say the least. One had silver hair with streaks of gold cascading down her back over her light green skintight shirt to the hem of her black jeans on her wide hips, and smooth, flawless skin. Her eyes were slightly almost shaped as well, showing her Portuguese ethnicity. And speaking of eyes, hers were the brightest shade of violet with flecks of blue he'd ever seen. And she was practically Allen's height, only about an inch or so shorter. She was quite a bit shorter than the girl standing next to her. The girl next to her was almost as tall as Kanda himself. Her outfit consisted of a plain white t-shirt with blue jeans and combat boots, different from the silver-gold haired girl in stiletto heels. She had long hair like the other, but hers was a deep brown color. Now that he thought about it, both of their hair was about the same length as Kanda's. In fact, theirs looked longer! Her eyes were bright blue, as blue as the sky, and so deep he thought they were endless. But what stuck out the most about both of them was something entirely different. 'They can't be anything but American! There's just no way!' He felt a slight ache in his chest for some reason, which snapped him back to reality. It had only been a moment or so, but it felt like eons to him. Then, he looked over at Kanda to see if he had noticed them. Oh yeah, he noticed. Kanda had a look that was obviously shock on his face.
'No way!' Kanda thought. 'Komui said we were getting ORDINARY recruits!' (A/N: wow, that explains so much, yet so little about Komui.) 'Damn it! I'm going to kill him!' but even as he thought that, he couldn't help but stare intently at the women. He could already feel a headache coming on. He quickly gathered his thoughts and walked toward the girls talking with Lenalee.
"H-Hey, wait for me will you? We're supposed to greet them together!" Allen rushed after the older boy. Lenalee heard the two familiar voices grow closer. She could tell who it was by the tone in the boy's voice when speaking.
"And then yo- Oh! Kanda, Allen! There you guys are! I was waiting for you to show up to help the new exorcists." Lenalee smiled.
'Exorcists? I thought they were gonna be Finders!' Kanda and Allen both thought.
"Anyway, these are our newest girls. This is Kyra Walker," She pointed to the girl with silver-gold hair.
"Wait, did you just say Walker? We have the same name!" Allen practically shouted, interrupting her.
"Oh don't worry, there's no relation between you two. We recruited them both from over in America. She had her name legally changed before she came here to cover any legal suspicion. I guess she didn't know you had the same last name. Brother already looked up her history and didn't find anything out of the ordinary. She was born bonded with three pieces of Innocence in her body, and around two or three years ago, her entire family was killed by Acuma." Lenalee had to pause to take a breath. Or just so she could stop talking for the moment. Kyra fidgeted where she stood. She looked slightly embarrassed to have her life story be told to people. Lenalee noticed a slight tinge of red dusting her cheeks and decided to change the subject. "And this is-"
"I'm Emily. Nice to meet you both." The brown haired girl reached out her hand and shook both Kanda's and Allen's. She looked at Kyra, waiting for her to acknowledge that it was her turn to shake their hands and greet them.
"Oh! Um, it's a pleasure to meet you both, how do you do?" Kyra asked, bowing slightly. She forgot that it was rude not to shake their hands, then corrected herself and offered them her hand. Kanda took her hand in his.
'Her hands are so small and soft. But her fingers are kinda long though.' He thought. He then shook her hand and quickly let go to avoid too much contact.
Allen waited till his turn and gave her a nice warm bear hug. 'She's so small and slender. Well, until you feel her chest. She fits so well in my arms.' Allen thought to himself, soaking up her body's warmth. All four of the others were shocked, but only Kyra was able to collect herself almost immediately. Instead of pushing him away, like they thought she would, she hugged him back without thinking, with just as much enthusiasm. This shocked them even more, especially Emily. She had never seen her friend act like this with anyone but herself before. A blushing Lenalee coughed, and the embrace quickly ended. Both Allen and Kyra blushed furiously, realizing what just happened.
"Um anyway, how about you guys give them a tour of the Order and show them their rooms. I have to go talk to brother about their first assignments later nest week." Lenalee smiled.
"Next week? Wow, that's kinda fast for their first mission. I didn't have to wait when I got here cuz I was already a full-fledged exorcist, but Lavi told me he had to wait for at least a month cuz of the required training." Allen felt anxious that they were already going on their first assignment soon. "They must be good already if they only have to wait a week. Do they have any skill though?" Kyra snapped upon hearing this.
"Of course we do! What makes you think we don't?" She shouted, angry. This was the first time anyone but Emily had seen her show anything besides shyness so far. "Do we look weak to you? Or that maybe we might need other people's help for anything?" Oh yeah, she's snapped alright.
"Wha-no! That's not what I meant at all! Uh, um-" Allen panicked.
"I don't even wanna hear your lame-ass excuses. You. Me. Training area. One hour. Be there, shorty." Allen could see the fire in her eyes as she spoke. They all stood there, silent. Emily started giggling, then full-out laughing. Kanda looked dumbfounded, Allen and Lenalee confused, and Kyra slightly agitated. Apparently the brown haired girl knew what was going on while no one else could figure it out.
Lenalee finally asked, "What's so funny?"
Emily stopped her fit of giggles and collected herself before explaining. "Kyra has a split personality. This is her other side you're talking to. She changes when her emotions get too strong about something. But recently, it's just been pretty random."
"Yeah and it's a pain in the ass. Fuckin wimp can't fight her own stupid battles." Said girl hissed.
"Wait, did you say split personality?" Lenalee asked. She was writing down stuff as they went on talking, apparently wanting to show it to Komui later.
"We just said that. God, listen will you?" Kyra snorted.
"Kyra, knock it off." Emily scolded her. "We're supposed to live here from now on, and I don't want any enemies. Why don't we go out later and get you some new battle clothes before the fight, okay? Then maybe we'll have finally put a slight dent in that inheritance of yours, if we're even that lucky." Allen and Lenalee heard the word 'inheritance' and felt sympathy for the poor girl. Kanda just scoffed, his usual scowl on his face again.
"Whatever, as long as we get back in time. I wanna see shorty battered and bloody before I change my mind." She flashed a dazzling yet evil smile at Allen. A slight shiver creeped down his spine. "Hey, instead of them giving us the tour, why doesn't Lenalee just show us around?"
"Sorry, I'd love to, but I have to go meet with my brother for a meeting. Later guys!" Lenalee ran off in the direction of the Science Division, out of sight.
"Hey, why don't we show you girls the Dining Hall? I bet you're hungry by now." Allen offered.
"Sure, I'm starving. How 'bout you Em?" The silver-gold haired girl asked Emily, who nodded in agreement. "Alright then, show us the food boys."
"Alright. Oh wait! Let's show you your rooms first, then the dining hall." Allen stated happily.
"Fine. This better be quick though, I'm hungry." Kyra pouted. Somewhere along the way, her emotions had calmed down. Allen led the way and the girls followed with Kanda trailing behind.
'That girl's pretty cocky for a newbie. Reminds me of the stupid beansprout.' Kanda scoffed at the ignorance of the thought.
They were shown to their rooms and then went to eat.
"Here we are, the dining hall." Allen pointed Kanda and the girls to a table to sit at while he went to go get some food.
"Oh, could you get five drinks please?" Emily asked.
"Sure." 'Why five? Oh well. And why did Kyra call me shorty? I'm taller than her.' Allen came back a few minutes later with five drinks. "The food will be done in a few minutes, so now we just have to wait."
"Cool, thanks shorty." Kyra put her feet on the top of the table and gave him a sexy wink, making him flush a bit. Emily rolled her eyes and grabbed one of the waters in front of her. Now, one would think she'd be normal and drink it, but no. Instead, she lifted it above her head, and then dumped it all over Kyra. The girl didn't enough time to react other than to give a small pout.
"Why did you do that?" Kanda and Allen shouted in unison, which was creepy in itself for many reasons. They looked at Kyra, hoping she was alright. The silver-gold haired girl coughed a bit a few times and turned pale with realization.
"W-what happened? Oh my god. Emily, was I just…?" Emily nodded. "Oh god! Um, my room number was 603, right?" Kyra's voice faltered.
"Yeah, right next to mine." Allen said, confused.
"Thanks, I gotta go." She stood up suddenly and sprinted off towards her room.
"Kyra, wait!" Emily got up to run after her, but Allen beat her to it. He was running after her as fast as he could. They both disappeared around the corner, out of sight.
"Kyra, slow down! Please wait a second!"Allen yelled, following the girl, a ways behind. But the girl's steps never faltered or slowed, she just kept running. Then suddenly, she stopped in front of a door, opened it, and ran inside, slamming the door shut behind her. The boy slowed down and stopped in front of the door, relieved she had stopped. After catching his breath, he knocked but didn't receive an answer so he decided to be brash and reached for the doorknob and tried to turn it. And of course, it was locked. He turned around and leaned his back against the door, still trying to even his breathing. He could hear she was still breathing heavily on the other side of the door. 'She must be leaning against the door.' Allen thought, his mind wondering on another direction. His face turned red at his thoughts of going into her room, kissing her breathless, then dragging her back to his room, and doing so many things he could only dream of to please her. 'W-What am I thinking? I don't even know her that well! What if she thinks I'm some kind of pervert? What if she doesn't think of me the same way? The thought crushed him a bit inside.
Kyra tilted her head slightly to hear through the door to see if he was still there. He was. She could hear his ragged breathing, almost in time with hers, and tried to calm down her breath to see if it would make him go away. But to tell the truth, she didn't really want him to leave. She wanted someone close to her, someone to love her. Someone like him. But she couldn't she just couldn't. No one could ever love someone who's so emotionally damaged, and their accidental hug earlier wasn't really helping the situation. But, he didn't leave. He just stayed there, leaning against the door. She waited for almost ten minutes, but he still didn't leave from his spot. Finally, she gathered her courage and opened the door. Caught off guard, Allen fell backwards. Before he could hit the ground, she caught him in her arms and pulled him against herself to get a better grip on him. But, unexpectedly, his head landed on and rested against her chest. His face flushed beet red after realizing what he was laying against. After a few seconds, she realized the situation and helped him back to his feet. He turned around to face her.
"Thanks for, uh, helping me out just now." He said.
"No problem." She said awkwardly. Now both of their faces were red. Allen suddenly remembered why he had chased after her so intently.
"Hey, why did you run away so suddenly earlier? You startled me. I thought maybe Kanda had given you a dirty look or something." Allen's eyes were filled with worry and caution, not knowing what words could set her off again and end up slamming the door in his face.
"Uh! Sorry about that, Mr. Walker." Her cheeks turned back to a slight shade of pink.
'Cute.' Allen thought. 'Wait, now's not the time to think about that! I'm trying to figure something out!' "Oh, don't worry about formalities. You can just call me Allen." Allen smiled a little awkwardly at his words and scratched his cheek. He looked up to see what her reaction would be to his statement, only to find her looking down, clearly still embarrassed, and having unconsciously folded her hands over her stomach. "Hmm, weird. I've never met someone who does that before." He mused in slight awe.
"Ah! I'm sorry! I wasn't paying attention!" The girl looked down again, her cheeks coloring a bit.
"Don't be sorry, it's cute." He gave her a sweet smile.
"What? Cute?" Her head snapped up, face lit up in surprise at being called in such a way. 'Oh my god, he just called me cute! What should I do? If he smiles at me again in that adorable way of his, I might just switch again!' The silver-gold haired girl internally panicked a bit, completely unnoticed by the boy in front of her.
"Yeah. In fact, it's adorable." He gave her that irresistible smile again that made his features crinkle in just the right way. She swooned. That was it. Her personality snapped.
"Ugh! You playboy! How the fuck can you do that to her?" 'Kyra' yelled at him. He stepped back, clearly shocked at this new turn of events.
"W-What? What are you talking about? I'm not a playboy! I-I wasn't trying anything on her, I swear! I just-!" He stuttered, at a loss for words to explain.
"I'm sick of your damn excuses, Walker! That's it! You're dead meat! Let's go!" She exited her room and grabbed him by the collar, dragging him down the hall. This side seemed to be oddly protective over her other half.
"W-Where are we going?" Allen squeaked, regretting asking in the first place.
"You're telling me where I'll find the training area! We're finishing this now, not later. And both of you, get over here!" The angry girl yelled.
"Who are you talking to?" Allen asked before seeing Emily and Kanda creep out from around the corner, into view. "What? How long were you guys standing there?" He asked. Emily glanced at Kanda, then back at the white haired teen.
"The whole time. We sort of, followed after you guys in case something went wrong." Emily said, slightly regretting the decision to follow.
"Yeah, so let's get this over with already." Kanda spoke up, amused at this new game. "Yo girly, the training area's at the end of this hall and to the right."
"I can't believe you, you stupid idiot! How could you do this to me? BaKanda!" Allen yelled, angry and worried about what her skill levels could be compared to his. He really didn't want to fight her. Not now, not ever. But there was no avoiding it now. They reached the end of hall and stood outside the door to the training area.
"You ready shorty? This is gonna be fun." The silver-gold haired fiery teen gave him an evil smile that would put Freddie Cruger to shame. A shiver ran down Allen's spine. He gulped, sweat forming on his brow.
"I-I guess so." He whispered. 'Let's get this over with.'
