Kanda was bored. Very bored. He'd even consider murdering the rabbit for his own amusement. The more he thought about it the more tempting the idea became to him as the Bunny went on and on about what he does here and what he does there. Honestly, Kanda didn't give a shit about what the stupid Rabbit did in his spare time.
"This is where we have food! And that guy over there is our lovely chef, Jerry!" Lavi explained to the uninterested Kanda. At the mention of his name the chef turned around to look at the pair, before leaving the kitchen and approaching them.
"Lavi! Darling! Is this the new boy that we have been expecting? Oh my! He is dashing! Very handsome indeed!" The eccentric chef gushed; he was a very strange man in Kanda's eyes, even stranger than that clown earlier.
This Chef had his hair pulled back tightly into two low pigtails that reached his back and wore dark sunglasses and tightly fitted clothing. Kanda began to wonder whether that gay clown and this chef were close.
"Yes it is, Jerry! His name is Yu Kanda, but I just call him Yu-Chan!" Lavi gleefully explained to the over positive Chef. Kanda twitched at the two idiots; he gripped his Mugen and once again pointed it at Lavi.
"Call me that one more time and I'll cut off all of your hair!" He hissed murderously, while sliding the side of his blade against Lavi's cheek, who then began to laugh nervously and glance in Jerry's direction as if asking for help from the man.
Jerry looked from one to the other in confusion at the odd exchange, but he merely shrugged at it. "I better be off darlings! So many mouths to feed and so little time! Ciao!" He said merrily before skipping off towards his kitchen.
Lavi looked distraught as he skipped away, but while Kanda was occupied watching the man leave he inched away from the sword, not wanting to scar his pretty face. "Let's find some more people for you to meet!" He said cheerfully. Kanda grunted in response.
Lavi grabbed Kanda by the wrist and started pulling him out of the cafeteria, Kanda hissed at the physical contact as if burned by the Rabbits touch. "Let go of me, Stupid Rabbit!" He shouted at Lavi. "I'm only showing you the way, Yu-Chan! I don't want you getting lost!" Lavi retorted quickly.
Kanda was now on the verge of suicide. Five minutes in with the Rabbit and he'd already had enough. It didn't matter how many times he protested and threatened the rabbit wasn't listening. Maybe he should start plotting different ways to conveniently murder a bunny without getting caught.
The sound of knives being thrown and a thudding noise reached the pair's ears. They walked towards the source of the noise, only to find the source of it being the resident blind knife thrower, Noise Marie. He was throwing the knives at the board, and stood in front of it was a woman with dark curly hair. All the knives hit the board behind her inches from various body parts. It was amazing how this man, though blind, could throw with such precision.
"Hey Marie, Hey Miranda. I brought the Newbie. Kanda, meet Marie and his assistant, Miranda Lotto." Lavi said quickly, purposely not calling him Yu-Chan to save himself from another heart attack, but he vowed to call hi Yu tomorrow.
Marie stopped his throwing and turned around, even though he couldn't see all his other senses had been heightened, especially his hearing. Miranda stepped away from the board and walked over to Lavi and Kanda.
"It's nice to meet you, " She said to Kanda, holding out her hand to him, he just stared at it as if it was poison and merely looked to the side with "Just call me Kanda" as a response. Miranda looked a bit nervous as if she'd done something wrong; she was nearly on the verge of freaking out before Lavi put his hand on her shoulder.
"Don't worry Miranda, he's naturally grumpy" he said reassuringly. She gazed back at Kanda who had turned a bit red as if he didn't know what to do around women which she thought was rather cute of the stoic long haired teenager, she smiled in his direction and nodded at Lavi. Marie began to approach the three, all but slowly.
"Yu?" Marie said quietly as he slowly approached Kanda, before rushing over and pulling Kanda into a tight bear hug, lifting him off of the ground.
"You've finally come! I've been waiting for this day!" Marie said with happiness evident in his voice. "Put me down!" Kanda strained to speak with his lungs being crushed by Marie's massive arms.
"I guess you know each other then?" The rabbit questioned as Marie set Kanda back down on his feet. "Yes, we are foster brothers." Marie explained to Lavi, who seemed pleasantly shocked at this new discovery.
"Really? How cool!"
"Tch. I wish it wasn't true." Kanda grunted after regaining the ability to breath after the death hug from Marie.
"Oh! Marie! You haven't happened to see Allen and Lenalee around anywhere have you? I want to introduce them to Kanda, here!" Lavi asked the blind performer. "Hmm. I think they're practicing their Static Trapeze routine where they usually practice. I heard them heading that direction earlier." Marie explained.
Lavi thanked Marie and waved goodbye at both him and Miranda and motioned for Kanda to follow him to the direction that Marie had claimed Allen and Lenalee went. "Allen and Lenalee are an aerialist duo; they've been performing here for ages. Though Allen is also a good contortionist and performs as a contortionist with the clowns. Lenalee and Allen are very close; they're like brother and sister, though they aren't related. When they are together on the trapeze, it's amazing! They're very good at what they do." Lavi informingly said.
"Tch. What about you? What do you do?" Kanda asked the red haired male. Lavi gaped at this, to which Kanda raised an eyebrow.
"What's this? Is big, bad Kanda taking an Interest in little old me?" Lavi said in a mocking tone. Kanda Flushed red, and growled at the bunny. "Shut the hell up. No way in hell would I be interested in you" He hissed.
Lavi stared at Kanda, before breaking out into a grin. "Love you too Yu-Chan. Anyways, I basically work with fire, you know Fire dancing, Fire eating, Fire breathing, All that jazz. Hurts like a bitch sometimes but you got to do what you got to do." Lavi explained with a grin.
The rest of the walk to the two people that Kanda had yet to meet was in complete silence; Lavi seemed to have lost his enthusiasm and was just focusing on finding the two aerialists. As they got closer the sound of music became louder, they then entered a big space where hanging from the ceiling was a trapeze and two figures on it doing very aerobic moves, like hanging off of each others feet and balancing off of one another.
Just watching it in motion was amazing, thinking about the physical strength the two must have to be able to balance each other on their own feet while high up in the air, they moved fluently and with such grace that it almost seemed magical, the female was dangling in mid air, her feet perched on the boys feet, she started to swing and propelled herself back up and clutched onto both of the ropes and held herself higher up the trapeze than the boy as he dangled from the trapeze on only one foot and held himself in a graceful position before pulling himself up to sit on the trapeze. When the music ended, the trapeze was lowered and the two figures hugged each other at their successful practice, grinning to each other proudly.
The female was the first to notice their presence, she had long black hair that was tied up in pigtails and even then it still reached her backside. But it was her companion that stood out the most, with pure white hair and porcelain skin people would describe this figure as an angel if it wasn't for the deep red scar that adorned the cherubic face, it ran down from the forehead to the lower cheek, though even with the blemish the person still had an unnatural beauty that Kanda hadn't seen before, though the person was quite short in stature.
"He's quite cute too..." Kanda thought.
Kanda snapped out of his stupor. What the hell was he thinking? He didn't even know the bean sprout. Why was he thinking these strange thoughts about him? He once again stopped his musings as the two figures began approaching them.
"Hey Lavi, what bring's you he- Oh! Is this the new guy?" The Female, Lenalee, if he remembered correctly, asked.
"Why yes it is, Lena-Chan! And how are you Allen-Chan?" Lavi asked the snow haired person. "I'm fine Lavi, and you? You haven't hurt yourself in practice again, have you?" The Boy, Allen, asked the Red-Head quietly.
"Aww, Allen-Chan was worried about me!"
"Was not!"
"Whatever you say, Allen-Chan!"
Allen puffed out his cheeks and folded his arms across his chest and let out a huff. Lenalee giggled and gave her partner a comforting rub on the back. This simple action sparked something in Kanda; he just wanted to wrench her hand away from the bean sprouts back.
Kanda then proceeded to mentally slap himself for having strange thoughts again, what was wrong with him today?
"Tch. Stop doing that face already Bean sprout, you look like more of an idiot than you already are." Kanda retorted at Allen. All went silent as Allen –attempted- to glare at the long haired Teen.
"What did you say straight cut?" Allen insulted back.
"You say that again bean and I'll personally make sure you go to hell"
"With you around, I'm already in it, BaKanda"
"That's it!" Kanda growled and pulled out Mugen and held it to Allen's face. "You want to say it again, Sprout?" Allen remained silent before huffing and sauntering off before saying "See you Lavi". Lenalee gazed after the boy, before bowing.
"I'll see you later Lavi, I need to see if he's okay. He's a bit oversensitive." She said quietly, to which Lavi nodded in agreement, before jogging after the quickly retreating male.
"Hmm. Yu-Chan needs anger management classes. But beansprout-chan is a cute nickname for Allen-chan! I'm going to use it from now on!" He said before skipping happily after the Allen and Lenalee.
Kanda paused for a minute, wondering why did he try and pick a fight with the bean? It just happened naturally. Why was the bean sprout constantly occupying his mind? He gritted his teeth before turning around and heading back towards Marie, he didn't want to have to face Allen again after that last argument, for some reason, he didn't want to make their relationship worse than it already was. Kanda sighed, he just didn't understand anymore. Could his life get any weirder?

Yes, I updated twice in one day.
I was bored, okay?
Anyway, this chapter is a bit longer than the last, at least. Though some parts seem a bit rushed… but I've done the best that I can out of my abilities.
It's not as good as some other author's works out there but it's a good shot at least, right?
I'm really keen to make this story good so please review and tell me what you think of it, ok?
