Can This Be Real Chap.2
As the train pulled into Turk they both got off. Kanda then turned to her "You go ahead I'll follow behind you. Remember we don't know each other." Miranda nodded and headed towards the bar as Kanda followed a few yards behind her. He wanted her to get inside and to start mingling before he got there. He didn't know how that was going to go over seeing how she hated to talk to people and she was constantly nervous.
Kanda opened the door and walked in and was surprised to find she was already sitting at a table with someone as he walked up to the bar and ordered a drink. He didn't drink much so he just sipped it and looked around the room. As Miranda interacted with this strange man who kept pulling her closer as she pushed herself back. There was a strange feeling that can over him and he didn't know what it was. The more he watched this guy pull her closer as she pushed herself back the more he wanted to rip the guy's head off.
She came up to the bar to get drinks and Kanda stared forward realizing this was just a drunk guy trying to cop a feel. He looked at Miranda then softly said sternly "Find someone else he's just a drunk guy looking for a body to squeeze."
Miranda nodded as she walked back over and sat the drinks on the table. She then excused herself as she began to mingle again. Kanda turned the bar stool around to face the bar so he could see everyone. He scanned the room over and over but the longer he sat there the more he got convinced that maybe Miranda wasn't what this guy was looking for.
Miranda kept glancing over towards Kanda every few minutes. He looked so handsome sitting there his black hair up in its usual ponytail, wearing cotton black pants, tan boots, a white shirt with a black vest, his long tan trench coat hanging over the back of the stool where he sat, with his sword strapped to his side, sipping his drink he had been nursing for hours every once in a while. She would steal little glances as she smiled slightly to herself knowing he was there to watch over her. Kanda would notice her glace at him every few minutes but he didn't think much about it. He just hoped the person that they were supposed to catch didn't notice it.
Just then a man nudged her in the side slightly "Ahh I see you've been looking at that very beautiful man sitting at the bar."
Miranda's eyes widened a she shyly smiled "Yes he is quite beautiful isn't he?"
He motioned for her to sit down next to him "Please have a seat with me so we can admire him together. I have been watching him since he walked in. He is very unique his skin is almost like porcelain. I have never encountered a man so beautiful."
Miranda gave the man a puzzled look as she stared at Kanda "Uhhh yeah your right." The man then turned to her "But you are very beautiful too." She blushed and shied away from him slightly.
Kanda noticed the man paying special attention to Miranda and he turned slightly so not to look at them.
The man then smiled slightly "Would you do me a favor and go ask him to take his hair down? I'd like to see it flowing down on his shoulders."
Miranda thought that was a strange request but she nodded "Sure but he'll probably think I'm crazy."
The man shook his head "No he's been watching you for a while. I think he might be taken with you."
She smiled slightly "Really? You think so?" He smiled a creepy smile then nodded "Oh yes. So could you go persuade him to let it fall around his shoulders?" She thought this sounded really creepy as she got up and walked over to Kanda.
She stopped in front of him as she smiled "Kanda don't look at him pretend your flirting with me." Kanda eyes narrowed some as he nodded and she continued to explain "That man over there I was talking to seems sort of creepy but he wanted me to ask you if you could take your hair down and let it fall across your shoulders." Kanda gave her a confused look for a moment then he sighed turning to the bartender "Hey have you had any men disappear from around here at all."
The bartender nodded "Yes among the women who have disappeared they're have been four men that have disappeared also. They were very attractive looking men too."
Kanda just shook his head 'Komuiiiii so this is why you sent me' he thought as he turned back to Miranda realizing that Komui had sent him in as bait as well. He was pissed but he wasn't going to let that hinder this mission. So he smiled his best forced smile as he nodded to Miranda and motioned his eyes upward for her to release the string in his hair.
Miranda reached up and pulled the string as Kanda's hair fell and cascaded his shoulders. Miranda's eyes widened as she looked at him "Y-Your beautiful" She said before she realized she said it out loud.
Kanda scowled at her slightly and growled "What. Was. That!?" She backed up slightly as her eyes lowered and she softly said "It's true though you…are…beautiful." She then bowed to him and went to turn but he grabbed her wrist slightly as she looked into his piercing blue eyes that told her to be careful.
As he stared at her he had to admit after making her wipe some of the clown makeup off the Order had put on her she looked attractive right now. He then swallowed slightly and let her hand go releasing her to go back to this crazy man's table. As he watched her walk back over there he knew now that was why Komui dressed her like that. He didn't want her to get noticed he wanted him to get noticed that's why he hadn't mentioned anything about men disappearing.
She walked back over and sat down "I told you he'd think I was crazy."
The man twisted his hands in front of his chest as he squealed "He is truly exquisite. I don't ever think I've seen anyone that looked quite like him." He the smiled creepily "I have to have him."
Miranda's eyes widened "W-What?"
The man reached for a cigar in his inside pocket then put it in his mouth and lit it "I didn't mean it like that. I mean he'll fetch a handsome price on the black market."
She pushed her chair back some from the table "You want to sell him?" She then looked at Kanda as his eyes glanced in her direction he saw the distressed look on her face. He then stood up and walked over to her "Excuse me miss can I have a moment alone to talk to you?" he growled slightly as he pulled her away from the table to the corner by the door.
"What are you doing?" He snarled at her as she coward slightly "I-I'm sorry Kanda but that man wants to sell you on the black market."
Kanda gazed over at the man who was looking at him like he was a piece of fresh meat throw into a lion's den "Che". He shook his head slightly and looked back at Miranda placing his hands on her forearms and when he did she felt the heat in her body rise at his touch "Go back over there and tell him I invited you to my room."
She blushed slightly at that as she then got a worried look "I can't do that they might follow us."
Kanda smirked some "Exactly!" he was getting annoyed with the games and wanted to get this over with then his eyes narrowed at her "Go!" He said sternly as she walked back over and he cursed Komui silently in his head for getting him into this mess. Now he had to figure out how to get himself and Miranda out of this mess and take this creepy bastard down.
When she returned the man smiled at her "Well what did he say?" He asked almost excited to hear what she had to say.
Miranda then turned "I don't know you well enough to tell you that and besides what makes you think I'll help you get this guy?"
The man got a puzzled look on his face but then reached in his breast pocket and pulled out a wad of money and sat it on the table "I tell you what you help me get him and they'll be more where that came from."
Miranda stood there and bit her lower lip wondering if she looked interested enough? Or was she supposed to go for the money? She had never been in a situation like this. Most of her missions consisted of everyone else doing the work and her just turning time back.
She thought for a moment then smiled slightly and decided to play along. Kanda thought for sure she was going to screw the plan up but when she grabbed the money and stuck it in her shirt he smirked "Very well played Miranda" He whispered to himself. He was starting to see a more confident side to her as she smiled at the man and turned and walked back over to Kanda. They both turned the walked out of the bar head to a hotel across the street. Kanda went in and got a room and then they both walked upstairs. As they got to the door she got a little nervous.
"Uuuh Kanda how is this supposed to play out?" She hoped they weren't going to have to do something that she wasn't ready for. But as they got in the room Kanda looked around he figured that most of the missing people were probably taken from this hotel seeing how it was the only one next to the bar.
As Miranda sat on the bed he looked around checking everything and then he found a hole in the wall. He looked though it and it led to another room. 'Why would that be here unless he used the girls to get the guys up here then spied on them or vise a versa' he thought seeing the door in the other room open he turned quickly as he scanned the room. He had to think quickly as he took his jacket off and threw it across the chair. Then he unbuttoned his vest and took that off as Miranda watched a little confused.
"Uhhh Kanda?" She said nervously as he walked towards her and unbuttoned his shirt. He had come too damn far to screw this up now and this man needed to be stopped. Her eyes widened as he stopped in front of her "Stay calm" he said sternly as he then bent down and she began to move backwards in a laying position as he crawled over her bracing himself over her on his elbows and his knee. She pushed her hand into his chest to stop him as he leaned down closer.
"W-What are you doing?" She asked as her eyes widened and her voice became shaky. His hair fell down to the side of her face as he perched over her "They are watching us right now" He said in a low whisper.
Miranda began to shake being this close to Kanda. She had to admit she had dreams about this happening but not quite in this way. A terrified look crossed her face as he stared down at her.
As he hovered over her he himself didn't know what to do. I mean know he was stuck in this position and he was hoping that they would just make their move soon. But the more he stayed there the less he figured they would so he was about to lean back when Miranda figured they probably wanted them busy so she did something that surprised the hell out of him. She raised her hands to his shoulders and she took a deep breath as she stared wide eyed at him and whispered "You can hate me later." Then she pulled him down to her as their lips connected and his eyes widened also.
He had to admit she had caught him off guard and he wasn't expecting this. But as the kiss lingered her lips began to move about on his and he sighed into her mouth succumbing to her kiss. Reaching his hand over he began to caress her hair as she then became fully engulfed in the kiss. His tongue then slowly teased her lower lip as she trembled under him and when she opened her mouth to take a breath that was when he devoured her mouth sliding his tongue into her sweet moistness. She was fully under his spell right now and completely taken with him.
He had to admit he had lost all restraint as he devoured her mouth. She was there and willing to kiss him so he took full advantage of that for this charade. He knew it had to look real and at first he tried to make it look real but the more he kissed her the more he found he wanted to.
He had watched her for a year trying to fit in with everyone but when it came to him she was standoffish and very nervous. She was always alone most of the time like he was. He knew there had to be a reason why she was so afraid of him but he never understood it until now. The way she kissed him was sensual and passionate like she had wanted to do it so many times before. He never thought that Miranda felt this way about him he moved his face back some as she laid breathless under him. As he scanned her face with his eyes he could see the sheer passion she had stored inside her. As she stared at him through lidded eyes he then leaned down and teased her mouth with his by sucking her lower lip as she moaned softly in a breathless voice "More K-Kanda."
But it was then his head lifted quickly because he heard something outside. He rolled off her leaving her completely engulfed in her own passion as he stood up, grabbed his sword and went for the door.
His shirt open and bare chest showing he ran for the stairs taking them two at a time till he reached the street. That's when he saw the guy from the bar getting into a carriage as he waved to Kanda. In his mind Kanda thought that was strange till he looked up at the window 'Miranda?' he thought running back in the hotel and up the stairs taking them two at a time again till he got to the room. When he flung the door open it was empty and she was gone. He then ran to the window where he saw two men loading her in a carriage and she wasn't moving or fighting back. Putting his foot on the window sill he jumped out the window but the carriage had already started down the road and he followed it as far as he could. The only thought in his head was he wasn't going to lose another exorcist. After the whole Allen fiasco he wasn't going to let any other exorcists get hurt or disappear.
The carriage then came to a mansion where it went through the front gate which slammed shut behind it. He scowled looking at the huge fence but it wasn't something that could keep him out. He figured he'd wait till later that night to make his move under the darkness. He could move unnoticed then so he found a place and sat next to a tree while he waited for the darkness to come.
He figured that there were probably more people in that mansion too but his first priority right now was to get Miranda out. He shook his head as he sat under the tree wondering how he let himself get so caught up in that kiss with her. He had never let himself go like that especially on a mission. But the more he thought about it the more he realized after she kissed him it was he that wanted to kiss her. He lifted his hand to his lips and ran his finger over them 'What the hell was I thinking?...I wasn't and now they have her' he could have kicked himself at the sheer stupidity of the situation and letting himself fall for such a frivolous kiss but…was it? Instead he stood up and looked at the mansion 'I will get you out Miranda' he said firmly looking for a way he could go in after dark.
