Axel woke to the sound of angry voices. He groaned as he opened his eyes, remembering where he was now. He made a mental note to kill Vexen when he got back… if he got back.

"Nee! Yuu! You can't leave without us!" Lavi cried as he clung to the pissed samurai, trying to shove him off with no luck.

"Oi! Get off me baka! And don't call me that! I can do what I damn please!" Kanda shouted. Allen stood to the side brushing his teeth and grinning at the sight in front of him. He quite enjoyed watching Kanda struggle with trying to get Lavi off of himself.

"But Komui said before we left on the mission that you weren't allowed to leave us behind this time Yuu-chan!"

"Urasai Usagi! I don't care what he said. Now get the fuck off me!" Kanda said as he whacked the red head across his head. Axel stood up and stretch and that catch Lavi's attention. He smiled over at Axel, still not letting go of Kanda, much to his dismay.

"Morning Axel!" Lavi said cheerfully.

"Morning," he said looking over at Allen, who was done brushing his teeth. "Is this a normal thing?"

"Sadly it is. But most of us have gotten use to it," Allen said shrugging his shoulders.

"I see…" Axel could just tell already that he'd have a headache before they even got to wherever it was this Komui guy was. Eventually after another hour of shouting, struggling, and hitting Lavi in the head and once in the stomach, they were finally on the train traveling to the Order. Axel sighed as he looked out the window and closed his eyes.


Lavi looked over at Axel after two hours of nonstop talking to Allen, already grinning. He dug in his pocket and pulled out his favorite marker and quickly drew on Allen's face first. Lavi, as soon as he tried to draw on Axel's face, his wrist was caught.

"Don't even think about it red," Axel said with his eyes still closed. Lavi blinked in surprise. Shocked that he was actually grabbed by someone that had just been dead asleep, was now wide awake.

"H-how?"

"I have someone back at the castle that does this to me everyday. I can smell the scent of the marker."

"Oh…" Lavi sat back in his seat and looked over Axel. 'Who exactly is this guy? Could he possibly actually be an enemy?' Lavi wondered. He looked over at Kanda and saw the same question's he was thinking in his eyes. Kanda felt Lavi staring at him and looked. He slowly nodded. Seeming to understand that Lavi wanted to talk with him privately when they got back to the order. Lavi remained silent the rest of the ride. For once, Kanda actually felt uncomfortable because of it. But there was a reason this time and he understood it.


Lavi walked at the back of the group as the got off the train and headed in the direction of the looming, creepy looking tower in the distance. His eye shifted to Axel's back. If he was an akuma, Allen would have picked up on it or Kanda would have already killed him by now. But neither was the case. It would make more sense if he was a Noah. But, then the gate keeper wouldn't pick up on that either. Lavi knew he needed to keep a close eye on him. And he had a gut feeling that Kanda was thinking the same exact thing. He wasn't to sure about Allen, but it didn't matter. As they got even closer to the building, Axel noticed exactly how huge it was.

"Is this the place we're going?" he asked.

"Tch… Where else would we be going idiot." Axel frowned. He already didn't like Kanda. His attitude reminded him too much of Xemnas'. And he actually wanted to kill Xemnas just so Roxas could be free from the Organization. That's if he stops getting used for Vexen's damned experiments… He looked when he felt a hand on his shoulder. Allen smiled at him.

"Just ignore Bakanda. He's still pissed over the fact that the mission didn't go the way he wanted and that we are bringing you back with us."

"Oi! What was that Moyashi?" Kanda hissed.

"Oh nothing. Just that you throw tantrums like a three year old when the missions don't go how you want," Allen said smirking. Kanda stopped walking and spun around on his heel and glared sharply at Allen.

"Do you want me to cut off you head so you can never talk again Moyashi?" Kanda asked as his hand moved to the hilt of mugen. Before Allen could say anything, Lavi got between the two.

"Maa. Maa. Calm down. We're back at the order. Let's just go see Komui and get everything over with and then go rest or eat Jerry's delicious food," Lavi said in his usual cheery tone. Kanda huffed and stormed off ahead of them with a mumble of whatever. Lavi sighed and shook his head before grinning at Axel.

"Let's get inside and go see Komui. I'm sure you're still tried and want to rest as soon as possible too right?"

"Right," Axel said nodding in response. Allen was already walking ahead of them, muttering something about missing Jerry's cooking and his dango. Lavi couldn't help but laugh some and neither could Axel.


Axel scowled as some crazy looking person with a coffee cup circled around him.

"He doesn't look anything like what Kanda said he did when he contacted me," Komui said.

"That's because I don't want to hear you run your mouth about being lucky to be a piece of shit town you call beautiful," Kanda retorted. "Nor do I want to hear about you having to send Lenalee on a mission…" Lavi chuckled. He found it funny when Kanda was the one who always got stuck listening to Komui complain about those things every mission.
