Mizu: Another chapter down~! I've actually have a pretty good idea for this story to make it more like a cute/funny story. I know, I know. Cute/funny isn't really something that Kanda is about but I don't care! This story is my stress reliever for final weeks so I shall stay that way until afterward. Disclaimer: I don't own -Man. Even if I did, I would have never thought up a better way to bring Allen back into the story. Honestly, did you guys read the latest chapter! Omg, I think that this one might be my favorite one yet!


I'll be there

Chapter two: My name is…


"Geez, I said I was sorry Yuu!" Lavi complained as Kanda yet again tried to decapitate the redhead with his bokken, "I was just trying to give you a hard time for spending so much time with Walker-chan today!"

"Che," Kanda sounded before slowly backing off.

Lavi sighed in relief, "Look, I know that you are the greatest when it comes to kendo, but that doesn't give you the right to try and kill me with that blasted wooden sword of yours!"

"What was that?" Kanda growled.

"That's enough, Kanda," a man with dark, short blonde hair sighed, "We can't have you killing anyone before competition."

"Bak-sensei!" Lavi beamed.

"After all, we can't have our star get through in prison for murder," the blonde smirked, "And for the last time, it's Chan-sensei! Honestly, are you this rude to all of your professors?"

"Sorry," Lavi nervously laughed, "It's a habit."

"One that I wish you hadn't picked up," Bak sighed, "Anyway, we need to pack it up early today."

"Eh? How come?" Lavi asked.

"The mixed martial art club's room is being remodeled and they needed a place to meet," Bak growled, "So of course the dean only saw it fit to put them in here seeing as we only have a couple of students."

"What the hell!" Kanda snapped, "How can they do that? Why can't they just cancel practice for the time like we had to!"

"I never said that we were just going to hand it over to them," Bak smirked just before whistling.

"What do you want, Baka Bak!" a tiny woman with orange hair snapped as she stomped up to them.

"F-Fou-san!" Lavi stuttered, ducking behind Kanda quickly.

"Oi!" Kanda snapped.

"I've got a mission for you," Bak chuckled darkly.


"Hello?" a female's voice rang through the room, "Kendo team? Why are you guys still here?"

"Ah, Cloud-sensei. So good to see you again," Bak smirked, "As too why we're still here, well, we just want to make sure that you guys are worthy of using this room."

"What are you talking about?" Cloud sighed, "We were allowed use of the room every day after you guys are finished with it. If you're not done, just say so."

"Oi!" Fou snapped, smirking in the corner, "What that baka was trying to say is that we want to duel one of your students."

"Duel?" Cloud repeated, glaring at the blonde, "Your kendo student versus one of my mixed martial artist? How is that even remotely fair?"

"Refusing our proposal?" Bak chuckled darkly, "Have you no fighting spirit?"

"Why you," Cloud growled.

"Sensei," one of the students stepped forward, "I will fight them."

"Are you sure?" Cloud questioned.

"Yes," the student said, walking towards Fou.

The student was dressed in black pants and a black hoodie with the hood pulled up so that there was no chance of seeing their face. Their build was that of a young teen and for some reason, they were wearing a black glove only on their left hand.

"Heh, sending out the runt?" Fou smirked, "You should know better than to underestimate me, Cloud."

"And you would do best to follow your own advice," the student said, voice cold and calm before getting into a strange fighting stance.

"Huh?" Bak blinked, staring at the stance, "What stance is that?"

"Don't forget, Bak," Cloud stated, confidence strong in her voice, "We are the mixed martial arts club. We aren't restricted near as much as you are."


The fight between the two was nothing less than outstanding. Fou had been known to everyone as the only person in the club to be able to wield two weapons at one time. She had been undefeated so far that year (not counting the first match of the year where she lost to Kanda). So everyone in the club was expecting her wipe the floor with the idiotic student that stepped forward. But that wasn't the case. This martial art student matched Fou step for step, point for point. And to make things worse, this student hadn't even broken a sweat even though they had been fighting for a good hour. Or at least that was what Cloud had boasted.

"Oi, brat!" Cloud laughed, after the hour mark had passed, "As entertaining as this is, do you think that you could stop fooling around?"

"Fooling around?" Lavi gaped.

"Sorry sensei," the student said, suddenly springing up upon Fou and knocking her across the room.

"Fou!" Bak cried.

"Damn it," Fou cursed, forcing herself to stand.

"Stand down," the student stated, "I do not wish to hurt you."

"Fuck off," Fou smirked, charging the student.

"Forgive me then," the student said before kicking Fou down into the ground, knocking her out.

"Fou!" Bak shouted, rushing to her side.

"I warned her," the student sighed.

"What's wrong with you!" Lavi snapped.

"This wasn't an actual match," the student defended, "There wasn't anyone to stop either of us before it got out of hand. Because of that, I chose the easiest way to knock her out without doing too much damage."

"Slamming her head down into the ground wouldn't do too much damage!" Lavi shouted.

"Not as much as throwing her into the wall into should off," the student pointed out, "If that didn't actually hurt her, why would the ground?"

"How dare you," Kanda growled, appearing behind the student with his bokken pressed into their back, "Show your face too us."

"Oi, you have no right to demand anything from us," Cloud growled, stalking up to them.

"It's alright, sensei," the student said, pulling down their hood, "I know him."

Kanda's eyes widened, "M-Moyashi!"

"I'm not a Moyashi!" Walker snapped, a light blush covering her face, "My name is Alle-"

"Walker!" Bak gasped, finally noticing who the mysterious student was.

"Shhh!" Lavi quickly sounded, "Hush up, Bak-sensei!"

"Is that anyway to speak to your sensei?" Bak snapped, "And call me Chan-sensei!"

"Careful, Bak-sensei, or you'll break out in hives!" Lavi teased.

"Sh-Shut up!" Bak shouted.

"Are they always like this?" Walker asked, slightly flustered.

"Be happy you don't have to deal with this every day," Kanda sighed, "And you were saying?"

"Huh? Oh, right," Walker said, "Well, you can just call me Allen."

"Allen?" Kanda repeated, chuckling slightly, "That's a strange name for someone like you."

"So? I happen to like it," Allen beamed.

"Whatever," Kanda smirked, "You're still a Moyashi."

"Damn it! I'm not a Moyashi!" Allen snapped, face slightly flushed once more with anger.

Kanda's smirk widened, 'Yep…She's positively adorable when she's angry.'


"Wait…Her name is Allen?" Lavi asked as the two walked home.

Kanda just nodded, mind still back earlier during Fou and Allen's fight.

"Isn't that, I don't know, weird?" Lavi questioned.

"No, not really," Kanda shook his head, too caught up in his own thoughts to keep up his normal angry facade, "When you stop and think about it, it kind of all makes sense."

"It does?" Lavi gaped, "Cause the more I think about it, the stranger it gets."

Kanda sighed, "Just look at how she dresses at school. She wears baggy clothes that make it nearly impossible to see any kind of figure she might have. Maybe that's because she doesn't like what she is."

Lavi's eye widened, "You're suggesting that she's a transgender, aren't you!"

Kanda just shot a "duh" look at his redheaded companion, "She's probably too afraid of what others will think of her so that's why she keeps to herself."

"And why she got upset when I suggested something between the two," Lavi added, "She probably doesn't want any sort of relationship until she can finish sorting everything out in her life."

"Right," Kanda agreed, "It's also why she refuses to tell anyone of her name cause she knows everyone will look strangely at her then."

"Yeah. I mean, if she's going by a boy's name then she must be kind of serious about how she must feel," Lavi said before sighing, "Well too bad…I really thought that she was cute."

Kanda raised an eyebrow at his normally hyped up friend.

"What? If she's thinks that she's a he, then I'm not gonna touch her," Lavi pointed out, "I'm sorry but I am completely linear~!"

"Only you would put sexuality into terms of math," Kanda stated, walking over to his apartment.

"What about you, Yuu?" Lavi smirked, loving how he could now tease his best friend, "Gonna stop trying to get Allen's attention?"

Kanda smirked right back at Lavi, "Hell no."

"Eh? Wh-What?" Lavi gasped.

"I'm not giving up. In fact, I think I'm going to pursue her even more now," Kanda explained, smirk still in place.

"Y-You're joking right, Yuu?" Lavi stuttered, stunned at possibility of the rumors at school being true.

"I'm not as petty as everyone thinks I am to let something as simple as gender keeping me from getting what I want," Kanda chuckled, "And this new little fact about that Moyashi means that I'll have an even greater chance of winning her over cause I just don't give a fuck what she is."


"I really admire you, Yuu-chan," Lavi stated the next morning as they walked back to campus.

"Don't call me that!" Kanda snapped, taking a swing at the redhead.

"Morning boys!" a girl with green hair beamed as she walked up to them as Lavi narrowly dodged Kanda's fist, "You two are as lively as ever I see."

"Lenalee!" Lavi beamed, "Guess what! Yuu-chan's finally got an interest in somebody~!"

"Baka!" Kanda snapped, trying once more to stake a swing at the grinning idiot.

"Really? That's wonderful, Kanda~!" Lenalee beamed, "Who is it? We'll help you get her to agree!"

"Why would I need any help?" Kanda scoffed, forgetting about Lavi for a moment.

"Well, you're reputation is enough to scare almost everyone away with just the mere mention of your name," Lenalee pointed out, "So who is it?"

"Walker-chan~!" Lavi chuckled mischieviously as a slight flush appeared on Kanda's face.

"Walker-san?" Lenalee blinked, "I always knew that you'd be a bit strange in tastes but Walker-san? Are you sure you want to go after her? I mean, she's cute and all but she just won't talk to anyone."

"She talks to Yuu-chan~!" Lavi smirked, ducking behind the giggling woman.

"…What! He actually got Walker-san to talk?" Lenalee gasped, "No way…He got Walker-san to talk!"

"Yep," Lavi laughed as they walked into their building.

"You know what? I don't even know why I bother anymore," Kanda growled as he stalked through the hall way, both of them close behind, "I have no idea why I even hang out with either of you when all I get from it is a giant headache."

"Oh hush," Lenalee giggled, "You know that you love us."

"Che," Kanda sounded.

"And you know what, Lenalee?" Lavi half sang, "Kanda found out Walker-chan's name~!"

"You what!" Lenalee squealed.

"Yeah, it's-" Lavi started before Kanda's hand slapped over his mouth.

"If I ever hear a peep that sounds like her name come out of your mouth, I promise that I will rip out those annoyingly idiotic vocal chords of yours and then give them to Komui as a brand new specimen," Kanda growled, emitting a dark aura that solidified the threat.

Lavi quickly nodded.

"Wow…You're already this protective?" Lenalee giggled, "You must be smitten. You're only this protective with those that you really care for."

Kanda shifted his glare quickly over to the giddy woman. Meanwhile, Lavi pulled out his favorite sharpie and a piece of paper. While the fuming man was busy with Lenalee, the redhead hastily wrote something down on the piece of paper before folding it up.

"Fine, fine," Lenalee sighed, "Don't tell me. I just wanted to help you find a little bit of happiness in your dreary existence."

"Che," Kanda sounded before walking down the hallway.

"Lenalee," Lavi whispered, handing her the note.

"Hm?" Lenalee sounded as she read what the note said, "What! Her name is really Allen?"

Lavi nodded his head rapidly before he noticed Kanda stop in his tracks. Gulping, the redhead took off running as the now thoroughly pissed raven-haired man quickly turned on his heels.

"You just said not to say it!" Lavi cried.

"You're dead, Usagi!" Kanda roared.

"I regret nothing!" Lavi yelled, laughing maniacally.


If you had asked anyone that day if anything interesting had happened, they would have all said the same thing. The spectacle of the day was Kanda skipping all of his classes in favor of chasing Lavi all around campus. How the redhead managed to stay just out of his grasp, no one knew. All they knew was that if you looked outside at random parts of the day, you would see a shirtless Lavi being hunted by a very ticked off looking Kanda Yuu.

Now that the day had been wasted and with no maimed Lavi to show for it, Kanda grumbled as he headed for kendo club. Ignoring everyone's blatant stares, he quickly changed. He could hear some people talking just outside of where he was. While he couldn't make out what they were saying, he felt another wave of anger come over him. Why weren't they practicing yet? Just wanting to bash some sense into the other members' skulls to release some steam, Kanda was actually hoping that Lavi would be dumb enough to come to the club today.

Who he found, instead however, was even better.

"What is she doing here?" one of the few members of the club whispered as Kanda walked out of the changing area.

"Why are you complaining," another chuckled, "Walker-chan is sitting in our clubroom~!"

"Oi," Kanda sounded from behind them, startling the men, "What did you just say?"

"W-Walker-chan is here today!" bother stuttered.

"Really?" Kanda asked, looking passed the two.

Sure enough, sitting in the corner was that distinctive head of white. She was calming watching the goings on of the small club, not yet noticing Kanda. The once fuming wannabe samurai smirk. Maybe today wasn't such a waste after all.

"Oi! Moyashi!" Kanda smirked, walking up to the white-haired beauty.

"That's not my name and you know it!" Allen snapped as she sprung to her feet, irritation with the man evident.

"Che," Kanda sounded, "What are you doing here? It isn't time for the mixed martial arts to start."

"I got bored and needed to kill some time so I figured I'd just sit and watch how you guys go about in your club," Allen shrugged.

"Can't you just go home and come back?" Kanda questioned.

"Maybe I didn't want to," Allen retorted.

"Maybe you could have gone to the library instead," Kanda said, "Everyone knows that you always have your head stuck in some book anyway."

"Maybe I just wanted to come down here to observe the workings of kendo," Allen said, starting to get irritated at the man once more.

"You could always go to an actual dojo for that," Kanda smirked, just trying to egg the mysterious woman on.

"Why would I do that?" Allen snapped, "That would waste so much time!"

"And sitting here won't?" Kanda pointed out.

"The only reason I'm here is that I wanted to thank you!" Allen yelled before instantly slapping her hand over her mouth, a slight blush covering her face.

Everyone in the room was silent. Walker-chan was actually talking to Kanda. She, the quietest and most mysterious girl on campus was actually talking to the Kanda Yuu, the most terrifying man ever accepted at Black Order University. Adding to the shock of it all, she was arguing with him without any fear. That in itself was something strange and never before behold by anyone on campus. Furthermore, she wanted to thank him for something. Everyone came up with the same conclusion. It was either that there was something between the two of them or it was the sign of the apocalypse.

Everyone was betting on the apocalypse.

Kanda and Allen stared at each other for a full minute before Allen grabbed his hand and dragged him out of the room. Pulling the slightly stunned man behind her, she quickly found an empty room and shoved him inside of it.

"What the hell, Moyashi!" Kanda snapped, when he finally brushed off his shock.

"Quiet!" Allen snapped right back, a look in her eyes pleading for him to do so.

Kanda obeyed.

"Listen," Allen started off, running a hand through her snow white locks, "I just wanted to say thank you for not telling anyone else my name…"

"How did you-" Kanda started to ask.

"Your friend, that Lenalee chick, told me," Allen admitted, "She said that that was why you were chasing that redhead around all day cause he was the one that told her. She also said that the only reason why that he knew was that he must of pestered you until you couldn't take it anymore."

'Not really but if she thinks so,' Kanda thought.

"He's just an annoying baka usagi that doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut," Kanda grumbled.

"I gathered that much," Allen laughed before letting her eyes drift to the ground, "But really, Kanda-sempai…Thank you. You have no idea how important it is to me not to tell anyone my name."

"I figured as much," Kanda stated, startling the girl.

"How did you-" Allen started to ask, repeating just what Kanda had second only a moment ago.

"You've never told anyone your name before this," Kanda stated, leaning against a desk, "I just figured that since you hadn't said it before then then you probably didn't want it to be common knowledge."

"You're definitely right about that," Allen sighed, leaning against the wall.

"My only question is why though?" Kanda asked, hoping to get some information at of the girl.

"Huh?" Allen blinked.

"Why don't you want anyone to know your name?" Kanda asked, trapping Allen with his stare.

She sighed and slid down the wall until she was seated on the ground, "It's complicated…"

"I'm used to it," Kanda stated, thinking of all of his family and friends.

"…I ran away from home," Allen whimpered, bringing her knees up to her chest.

"What?" Kanda gaped.

Allen nodded, "I was tired of how I was being treated at home all because I'm…different…No one at home has every treated me well. My own parents gave me away to my uncle's care when I was eight years old. I mean, my uncle Mana as the most amazing man in the world. He accepted and loved me just the way I am. I loved him like a father, seeing as mine was such a jackass. His brother Neah was also really nice to me. We used to always play together and go on long trips to places that most people can only dream about. It was so much fun back then…"

"What happened?" Kanda asked, almost instantly knowing the answer.

"…They died," Allen said, voice quiet, "The rest of my family didn't like my uncles'. They were always fighting with one another. Well…everyone but the patriarch of the family and Neah. For some reason they always got along pretty well. But one night, during another one of the fights with my cousins, something happened. It had been my cousin Road's birthday and she wanted to spend the day with me. We were all in the family van, me sitting in the very back, trying to keep away from Road. It had been a very long day and all my uncles and I wanted to do was get Road and her keeper for the night, my cousin Tyki, back to their house so we could go to bed. We were just turning onto their street and their house was literally right there when we were suddenly t-boned by some idiotic drunk.

"Tyki had been ejected from the car but thankfully suffered no major injuries. He quickly ran into the house to get the rest of the family and to call for help. Soon after he disappeared inside, Mana and Neah managed to free themselves from the wreck," Allen said, tears starting to appear in her eyes, "Neah went to check on the driver of the other car while Mana set about trying to free Road and I. He managed to just get Road free and away from the van when Neah yelled out for help. Apparently, the drunk thought that Neah was a cop and was going to arrest him so he attacked Neah. Mana quickly set Road down on the curb and rushed off to go help Neah. When Road's dad came rushing out with Tyki, they quickly hurried over to help them."

"So they just forgot about you?" Kanda asked incredulously.

"Not really," Allen shook her head, "They just needed to get into the man's car and pull it away from our van otherwise they wouldn't be able to get to me."

"Wait, you were on the side that took the brunt of the attack?" Kanda nearly gasped.

Allen just nodded again, "And somehow, I didn't lose consciousness. I couldn't scream and I was sore all over. Now that I can look back on it, I realize that that it was because of the broken ribs, arm, and all the bruises I received."

"Even so, if you were conscious why didn't you try to get out?" Kanda asked.

"My legs were trapped and I broke my right arm," Allen explained, "Add that to the fact that for some reason, my left arm had always been all but useless since birth and I had no way to even try to escape. Once they had wrestled the man away from his car, Neah started to back it up, ignoring the fact that it was actually on fire."

"It was what?" Kanda blinked, not sure he had heard that one right.

"Fire," Allen said solemnly, "So was our van. That's why Mana all but ripped the door off to get to me. Neah came running to his side a second later. They had to crawl in and over the mangled remains of the car, but together they managed to get my legs free. Reaching over me, they quickly unbuckled me and lifted me out of my seat. But just as they were starting to crawl out, both of them got their legs caught. Tyki and Road's dad came running up to the van, screaming about how we needed to get out of there. They quickly handed me over to the two and told them to make sure that I was alright…"

"And then?" Kanda asked.

"And then the gas tank exploded," Allen whimpered as tears escaped her eyes, "I had to watch the two people I loved more than anything in the world die in an explosive inferno…All they ever did was try to save me…Why was it that they had to die?"

Kanda waited patiently for Allen to stop crying. He could understand where she was coming from. He himself had lost his family at the age of ten due to a house fire. But she had basically lost her family twice. What could that have even felt like? That, Kanda had no idea and no desire to know. Even though he sometimes wished that his foster father would just jump off a cliff, he still couldn't even think of losing him or his faster brothers.

"A-Anyway," Allen finally said, "After they were gone, I was forced to stay with the family that didn't like me and who I couldn't stand. Eventually, I got so tired of how I was being treated and just ran away."

"Where did you go?" Kanda asked quietly.

"To a friend of my uncles," Allen said, smiling weakly, "After I explained my situation, he helped me hide from them. He's the one that took me all over the world. That's the only reason that I've avoided my family since then."

"…When did they die?" Kanda asked.

"When I was twelve," Allen sighed, "I stayed with the family until I was thirteen before running away."

Kanda's eyes widened, "So you've been running for-"

"Almost six years," Allen nodded, "And we've moved around so much that I'e never got the chance to actually have friends."

"Is that why you're so quiet all of the time?" Kanda questioned.

Alln nodded, "It's weird for me cause before I didn't want to make friends cause I didn't want to hurt them when we moved again."

"And now?" Kanda asked.

"Now I have to be careful cause I'm back in the city that my family lives," Allen added, "That's why I don't want my name to get out. Cause they will come running the second they catch wind of it."

"I see," Kanda said, suddenly startled when Allen rushed up to him.

"You can't tell anyone my name, Kanda-sempai," Allen begged, bringing her face so close to Kanda's that their noses were almost touching, "Nobody can know my name till after college then you can blab all you want! So please, Kanda-sempai! You have to get your redheaded friend to promise too!"

"O-okay," Kanda stuttered, fighting his blush.

"Oi, Yuu-chan!" Lavi's voice sounded just outside the room, "I know that you're mad at me and all but you and Walker-chan shouldn't just run off like that! It'll ruin your reputation!"

The two froze as they heard Lavi open the door. Allen's face suddenly dark red as her beautiful eyes widen. Even Kanda's face broke out in a light blush as the redhead quickly entered the room.

"Huh?" Lavi blinked before freaking out, "Omg! Yuu-chan and Walker-chan are in here making out!"

"What!" came the response from all the men searching for the missing pair.

"Damn it, Lavi!" Kanda snapped.

Allen let out a cry of embarrassment before shoving her head into Kanda's chest which did not help with his embarrassment one bit. Lavi just stared for a second longer before falling to the ground in uncontrollable laughter. Thankfully, Kanda recovered enough to glare at the redhead. It took him a second before he could free himself from Allen, but as soon as he did, he stalked over to where Lavi was and literally kicked him out the room.

"Better start running, Lavi," Kanda growled as he stepped out of the room.

"Wh-Why?" Lavi struggled to say through his laughter and the pain.

"Cause I'm going to murder you here in three seconds, usagi," Kanda smirked, stealing one of the kendo member's bokken.

"O-Oh shit!" Lavi screamed as he and the rest of the members of the kendo club sprinted away from the demon in human clothing.


Mizu: Mwuhahahahahaha~! I'm using Lavi to push Kanda and Allen together~! Ah, I love his hyper randomness cause it makes it so easy to make him the one to provoke the situation.

Lavi: What did I ever do to you, Mizu?

Mizu: *shrugs* I dunno. It's fun to make you the comic relief character.

Lavi: You're so mean…

Mizu: No I'm not. I just like to be able to laugh at other people's pain (that does make me a little mean, doesn't it?). Anywho, remember that I love all reviews and suggestions. Ciao for now~!

Lavi: I think I agree with Allen. I hate you, Mizu…I really do.
