A Forest Surprise
Please don't ask me why I did this, I was just bored. Heh. I hope you enjoy it – please message me for ideas or criticisms about the plot or character inputs or any other! I do not own -man. If I did there would be A LOT more Jasdebi.
"I just love it when the family assembles in front of the fireplace. Gives a great feeling of 'home' doesn't it?" The croaking, proud voice of the Earl of Millennium swayed joyously around the ancestral home of Noah; the smoke billowing from the fire creating a soft background of noise amongst the pleasant atmosphere.
Of course, the Earl's little speeches of family and good will were ignored by Tyki who thought such aspects were below him and also by Jasdebi who just weren't listening.
Road cuddled up to the Earl and frowned at Skin Bolic who was sitting sideways across the fire, blocking all the heat, whilst munching on five sticks of candy cane. Rero sat on her shoulder but suddenly whispered silently into her ear, mindful of the presence of the Earl nearby.
"Road, the exorcist is at the gate, rero. Just arrived, rero. Are you going to see him rero?" The umbrella asked cautiously, hoping against hope that her answer would be in the negative. He was disappointed.
"I'm going. Definitely going." Road leapt up off of the Earl, smiling sweetly the way he liked her to. She placed a finger on her lips as if she was thinking.
"It's too hot in here, Earl! I am going outside to play with the Akuma." The Earl chuckled up at her in his hearty sniggers and rocked his chair back and forth.
"Never could sit still, could you Road. Be off with you then!" More chuckles followed by Road turned her back and exited the room. Once outside and away from the Earl's gaze she increased her pace, anxious to see the exorcist. She hadn't stopped thinking about him all this time.
She ran down the hallways and out into the snow-filled garden, too afraid that the Earl of Millennium would sense her use of the teleport technique and wonder why she was using it. The cool wind and frozen grass of the forest garden opened up before her but the chill did not stop her tumble of thoughts from ceasing.
His face dominated her mind, as much as she had wanted to crush and destroy and hurt him back when she had first seen him, now she wanted to kiss and caress him; her fingers twitching with she remembered how close she had been next to him once.
Road had brought him here by letting him chase one of her quickest Akuma, leading him though her technique and here. She ran the last few steps into the clearing, not wanting to wait another second not seeing his face.
She saw the black exorcist's coat first and her heart swelled but when two stone cold eyes turn to greet hers she stopped in her tracks.
A long haired, tall exorcist stood in her clearing, but not the one she had sent the Akuma to lead. Kanda's eyes met hers and a fury of anger within them. The ringing of his sword pulling free destroyed the words of greeting on her lips and made her very, very angry.
"Who are you?!" She screamed, a disk of purple light shimmering on her fingertips. Before either could strike an explosion above them sounded and the remains of her Akuma crashed down to the ground. Someone also crashed down onto Road at the same time, knocking her to the snow.
The purple light ball inside her hand was ready to plunge into the fleshy body of he who had fallen on her but the moment she saw his face it dissipated.
"Allen!" She yelled happily and wrapped her arms around his chest, her cheek touching his. Road was now very joyous but a sudden thought hit her mind. Pushing the near unconscious Allen to her shoulder she sat up and looked straight at Kanda.
"But, why are you here?" She asked. Kanda suddenly blushed and seemed angry to know that he was doing so. Before more questions could be asked Tyki walked briskly into the clearing and threw his arms around Kanda, kissing his neck.
Tyki yelped and pushed Kanda to the snow when he saw Road and Allen sprawled in front of him. Kanda drew his blade again and feint a lunge at Tyki in his cold rage. Sheathing his innocence when he calmed slightly he walked away from the scene.
Tyki raised an eyebrow at Road who giggled.
"You've got some explaining to do." She began cheekily, pointing at finger to his chest.
Thank you so much if you read this far! Please review, I love them so! I was inspired by Kuro666's story Stay to Heal (KandaXTyki) so you could read that if you don't like the lightheartedness of this fic (it's pretty good Kuro666's fiction! Better than mine so I recommend reading it!)
