Lavi stretched after having been on a plane forever. He, par say, didn't mind getting on planes. That was required of his job. But he did hate to have to be on them for long periods of time. Especially, when Allen always put him on direct flights to where he was going. He stood there at baggage claim waiting for his suitcase. He watched several go past before he spotted his. He leaned down and grabbed it. He turned around and headed to the door. He walked outside and grinned. He was just glad he was sent some place warm.
"You must be Lavi," someone said coming up to him on his right. Lavi turned to look.
"Strike!" The girl laughed at Lavi.
"I take that as a yes. I'm Lenalee," she said holding out her hand to shake his. Lavi took her hand and instead of shaking it, he lifted her hand up and kissed it. Lenalee blushed at the gesture.
"And I thought my employer would be getting me," Lavi said.
"He's in the car waiting for us. Shall we go?" Lavi nodded and followed her to a black car with darkly tinted windows. Lenalee walked over to the back door and opened it for Lavi. Lavi smiled at her and got in. She shut the door and got into the passenger seat and nodded to the driver.
"Thank you for coming. My name's Yukito."
"You're welcome. I didn't really have much of a choice when Allen gave me the plane ticket," Lavi said. Yukito laughed at that.
"I'm just glad you came."
"Would you mind telling me why you picked me? And why the Noah are after your son who's not in the car with us?" Lavi asked.
"My son is at his house here in America. He didn't want to stay in Japan like I advised him to do."
"I see. But you do realize that your son made the right choice? The Noah reside in Japan," Lavi said. Yukito thought about for a minute and realized Lavi was right.
"You're right. Now the reason I picked you. I believe that you might be the only one that can put up with my sons attitude. Other than Lenalee," he said.
"I see. So that's what Allen meant by I'd see," Lavi muttered. Yukito smiled at Lavi.
Lenalee walked into the house first to prepare Kanda. Lavi looked at Kanda's father.
"What is Lenalee to him exactly?" Lavi asked.
"I guess you could say that they're childhood friends and she's the only one that can calm him down," he said finally heading into the house. Lavi picked up his bag and followed him in. As soon as Lavi walked in, he was hit it the face. He instantly dropped his bag and tackled the one that punched him. Lavi quickly pinned them down, putting enough weight so they couldn't move.
"Kanda!" Lenalee exclaimed. Lenalee grabbed Lavi and pulled him off of Kanda. Kanda stood up and brushed himself off.
"What was that for?" asked his father. Kanda glared at him.
"Watashi wa watashi o hogo suru tame ni ikutsu ka no baka o hitsuyō to shinai!*" Kanda yelled in Japanese while pointing at Lavi. Lavi frowned at him.
"I can understand you perfectly clear," Lavi said flatly. Yukito sighed and shook his head. He stepped between the two before they could do anything.
"Please wait to fight with each other when I leave. Kanda my decision is final and you will go through with this," Yukito said firmly. Kanda shifted his glare to his father.
"Tch." Kanda turned and walked away. Yukito frowned and looked at Lavi.
"Now I understand why you picked me. I won't let you down sir," Lavi said. Yukito smiled and left after hearing that. Lavi then looked at Lenalee.
"Where will I be staying?" he asked.
"Outside!" Kanda yelled from somewhere in the house. Lenalee rolled her eyes.
"Follow me Lavi," she said walking away. Lavi picked up his bag and followed her to a bed room.
"Thanks Lena-lady," Lavi said smiling. Lenalee giggled and walked off. Lavi entered the room and shut the door. He walked over to the bed and placed the bag on it. Lavi opened it and pulled out one of his guns and some extra ammo. He put the gun in the back of his pants and positioned his shirt to cover it. He reached into his front pocket and pulled out the earpiece and put it on.
Lavi left the room and walked out the front door to do a perimeter check. While he was doing that, he called Allen.
"What is it Lavi?" Allen asked as son as he answered.
"You didn't tell me that Kanda was a fucking prick," Lavi said angrily.
"If I had told you that I would have been sending you there in a cargo hold," Allen replied. Lavi frowned. He knew that was worse.
"I'll humor you Lavi. Why is he a prick?"
"He called me an idiot in his native tongue after he punched me in the face when I walked in," Lavi said. Allen started to laugh on the other end.
"You're an ass Allen," Lavi stated.
"And your boss. Just do your job," he said before hanging up. Lavi huffed as he finished his check and walked back up the stairs to the front door. When he turned the door knob and took a step forward, he ran into the door. Lavi glared angrily at the door.
"Very funny asshole. Now let me in," Lavi yelled.
"No. I said you were staying outside. And your staying outside," Kanda said through the door.
"I'll shoot the door knob off if you don't let me in," Lavi threatened.
"You don't even have a gun," Kanda said with a hint of smartass. Lavi stepped back from the door and pulled his gun out and cocked it.
"Did you hear that?" Lavi asked smirking.
"You wouldn't dare shoot my door," Kanda growled.
"Want to test me?" Lavi asked. Kanda liked his house how it was and he didn't feel like replacing the door knob. He grudgingly opened the door. Lavi grinned and put his gun away and walked in. Kanda shut the door and flipped Lavi off before walking away. Lavi stood there gaping at him. He was tempted right then to shoot Kanda's middle finger off.
* Watashi wa watashi o hogo suru tame ni ikutsu ka no baka o hitsuyō to shinai! - I don't need some idiot to protect me!
