"Speaking."

Thoughts.

'Allen's sign language.'

"Mermaid/Merman/Siren Speech."


Tuesday, January 2, 6:00 A.M.

The next morning, Kanda awoke to find himself in his bed. He didn't remember going to sleep last night, but he did remember Allen's song. It was beautiful, like the calm sea. It reminded Kanda of how some of the creatures of the sea communicate. A familiar face chose to pop into Kanda's eyesight; only he wished it hadn't, when he realized who it was. "Hey, Yuu! Sleep well? I know I did!" Lavi stated, grinning. Just before Kanda could retaliate with Mugen, he heard a sing song voice as if it was trying to speak but only coming out in soft vocalizations.

He realized it was Allen, who was still in the bath tub but the water heater had kept the bath sufficiently warm. "Yeah, I know you said not to come to your room without permission," Lavi said with a pout before continuing, "but Tyki said he wanted to see Allen." There was a splash from the bathroom and a happy squeal before the two heard Tyki groan. Kanda stood, peeking into the bathroom with Lavi. Tyki was soaked and Allen was grinning mischievously before he let out another squeal that was a lot like a giggle.

"Why doesn't he talk, Tyki? He can sing so he must be able to talk," Lavi stated. Tyki sighed and pat Allen on the head, making Allen give him a Stop-Treating-Me-Like-a-Child look. "If I knew why he didn't talk, I would tell you. Legend has it that a sirens voice is so beautiful that a single song can kill. However that's not the case as everyone on campus is alive. It may have to do with his traumatic past," Tyki explains. He helps Allen out of the bath and gives Allen a towel. Kanda watches as Allen's tail morphs into two human legs, the towel around his waist.

"That is awesome!" Lavi shouts. Kanda rolls his eyes. Baka usagi...


Homeroom, 6:15 A.M.

"Oh, you guys are early. Class doesn't start till 6:30!" Lenalee announced cheerfully as she walked through the door. The same could be said for you ya know... Kanda thought. As if reading his mind, which she probably did, Lenalee pouted with a glare and stuck her tongue out at him with a 'hmph!' while she sat down. Road rushed over to Allen and immediately hugged him tightly, surprising him even though he knew she would. "Allen, your song was as beautiful as always! I hear even the school staff slept better!" Road giggled and twirled around.

Allen smiled cheerfully but he made no sound. Although he was happy, he'd much rather be in his Siren form. Its somewhat uncomfortable in human form, because he wasn't very used to it. He mentally sighed, looking to Road. 'Is there a way for me to be more comfortable in human form? The legs feel strange and the concept of walking only makes it harder to understand and feel more comfortable.' He said, obviously embarrassed even though Tyki and Road were the only ones who understood his fast hand motions.

Road smiled gently, her eyes apologetic. "I'm sorry, Allen. You'll have to get used to it in order for it to feel natural. Just be glad you can walk without falling. Don't worry, it'll start to feel natural after a while." She reassured. Tyki nodded and the trio sitting in the desks beside each of them looked confused.

"Sorry, he's just saying that the human legs feel strange. He's not entirely used to them yet, as he never had any reason to be in human form at home since we renovated it a bit to be to his liking," Road says happily. Allen looked down in embarrassment, blushing lightly.

Cute, he blushed. Wait, what?! Kanda mentally hit himself, biting back a growl. I must be losing what sanity I have left. Great. Kanda sighed as other students started entering the classroom.

When Mr. Gill entered the room, he sighed and began teaching after managing to get everyone except Allen to say good morning. "Hey, so, what're we learning today, Johnny boy?" Lavi teases with a grin. Road giggles with a lollipop in her mouth while Tyki simply chuckles. Kanda kicks Lavi's chair with a scowl plastered on his face.

No formalities?! Johnny thought in irritation. "This is Biology class, so what do you think, Bookman?" Johnny asks, pushing his glasses up to the bridge of his nose in annoyance. Lavi moaned in boredom, grinning when Kanda kicked his chair again in an attempt to make him stop. People started laughing when Allen threw a book at Lavi's head only to have Lavi turn around to have the book hit him square dead in the face instead.

Road picked up the book when it fell to the floor, and noticed it did not have a title. She opened it, flipping through each page and only coming up blank. She stared at Allen. "Hey, Al. Where'd you find this book? It's completely blank, no title or anything."

'I found it abandoned in the hallway. I felt that mistreating the book would be bad, but when I looked inside it had a language I did not know so I took it with me.'

Road frowned, concerned about if this book might possibly be dangerous. Allen loved to read, so its understandable that he'd pick up an abandoned book. But if a book was abandoned, it wouldn't be on the floor of all places. The school janitors clean the halls after everyone leaves then do a patrol to make sure everything is as it should be. When Road and the others arrived to the classroom, no one was there because it was still too early and Allen never left the room. So why was the book on the hall floor?

She walked up to Mr. Gill, A.K.A Johnny, and placed the book on his desk before whispering something to him cautiously. He noddded shortly and she took her seat again. Class continued with no interruptions thanks to Allen and Kanda, who forced Lavi to shut up. Lavi didn't want to be hit with another book or lose a limb to Kanda's sword, Mugen, as he quickly went quiet when threatened by the two simultaneously.

Once the bell rang, Kanda stood with a yawn. He stretched his arms above his head with his hands clasped together. "Its too early for this shit. I fucking hate Tuesdays." He muttered in annoyance, still scowling. He waited for the moyashi, knowing he couldn't leave his side because the boy needed to be guarded, not to mention because he gets lost way too easily.

Kanda can tell that Allen's been trying to use words to communicate with him, but no words come. Some time between fifth period, Komui calls the six teens to his office. "Nii-san, we're here." Lenalee calls before opening the door and going inside. Komui greets them cheerfully and looks at Allen.

"I've heard you've been trying to use words to speak lately but its not going so good. Can you tell me why?" He asks.

'I've never told anyone this, not even Tyki and Road. But sirens can't speak unless they've learned how to since their vocal cords are somewhat different than others. Normally, as you grow you gradually speak on your own. But for merpeople and sirens, its different as the process of speech is difficult since we use other means of communication. Sound, telepathy, or even the language of the sea of which the merpeople and sirens speak.' Allen explains, seeming embarrassed. Komui nodded in understanding and translated it for the other three in the room who did not understand sign language yet.

"Perhaps you can learn. Kanda can teach you, can't you?" Komui asked with a cheerful smile. Kanda's right eye twitched in irritation but he sighed and nodded when he saw Allen looking at him with pleading eyes.

"Che. Fine, whatever."


Cafeteria, 12:32

Kanda sighed as he sat down with his regular meal of soba, which the cook Jerry made for him as usual. Lavi sat next to Kanda cheerfully with his lunch, consisting of a cheeseburger and french fries. "Hey, Yuu! Oh... you're eating the soba meal again. Don't you ever crave anything else?" Lavi asks, his cheerfulness dying down and his face paling while turning slightly green at the thought of eating the same thing everyday. Kanda glared at him and sighed again, setting his chopsticks down.

"No, I don't. Baka usagi, if you don't shut up I might as well cook rabbit stew out of you. But there is no way in hell I'll eat it - it might have parasites!"

"Aww, so mean! Yuu, you don't mean that!"

"Don't call me that, baka usagi!" Kanda yelled, turning back to his meal. Allen walks over with a large pile of food, surprising them both. He seemed extremely happy, whether because of the food or something entirely different, no one knew.

"Little Moyashi... are you sure that's a healthy amount of food?" Lavi asked, sweat dropping at the sight with a nervous smile. Road glared at him and crossed her arms before replying for Allen.

"Of course its a healthy amount! Allen always eats this much and never gains a pound. Not one. He has a very fast metabolism, so it turns into heat and energy afterwards," she explains. Lenalee and Tyki walk over during her ranting explanation and sit down. Once everyone finishes eating, Allen unexpectedly transforms with a happy squeal. Tyki catches Allen before he hits the floor, his tail flapping excitedly. He's always so full of energy after he eats! Others would be tired! But he's practically giddy! Tyki thought while trying to keep Allen still. He had already fallen out of the chair because he was moving his tail so much after transformation, but Tyki can't keep him still. He's not as strong as a siren's tail.

"What on Earth is going on over here?" Mr. Wenhamm asks. Tyki smiles as Allen flaps his tail. "Sorry, Mr. Wenhamm. Do you possibly have something to allow Allen to swim here?" he asks nervously. Luckily, Mr. Wenhamm nods and pulls out a small remote, clicking the top button. The cafeteria walls lifts up to reveal an empty aquarium surrounding it.

"We built this before since we actually have other aquatic supernatural beings other than Allen here. You're welcome to use it as it goes throughout the school. This helps the aquatic beings expend pent up energy after eating," Mr. Wenhamm explains. Allen jumps from Tyki's arms and lands in the aquarium easily. The water was clear and there was a lot of room. All of the students looked up to see, and at least seven of them jumped in along with Allen. There were four mermaids and three mermen. As they swam together with Allen, it looked as if it was dancing rather than swimming.

There were spirals, spins, flips, and jumps. Allen made a challenging vocalization at one of the mermen, both of them smirking as they raced each other. Mr. Wenhamm smiled. "Hmm... they seem to enjoy that. Maybe it's time for a new invention concerning the aquatic beings habitat here in the school." he said smiling. He left the cafeteria and the bell rings for next class. Allen and the merman he befriended race each other to the next class, as Allen is classmates with him but never realized he was a merman.

"Hah! I won!" Allen cheerfully announced. The merman grinned before replying, "My name is Alma. Your name's Allen, right?" the merman asked curiously. Allen nodded happily as they entered the class, in the water of course since the aquarium goes into classrooms as well. The other students were staring in interest as they entered.

"Well, its nice to meet you Alma! I never expected to see any merpeople! I'm actually happy!"

"Yeah, I know right? When I found out you were a siren, I was shocked speechless!"

"Yeah, I know how ya feel. I didn't know there were any merpeople here, but I'm sure glad there are," Allen replied happily. He looked at a nearby clock, his tail softly waving in the water. He had to wonder if he needed to change back for class, though he'd prefer not to. He loved the way the water felt on his skin and scales. Mr. Wenhamm came in at that moment and looked at Allen's curious gaze.

"Don't worry, Allen. I've allowed you and the merpeople to stay in the water. Human form isn't as comfortable is it? I do my best to appeal to a supernatural beings likes so they feel comfortable. But be sure you pay attention in class, all right?" he says, receiving a happy nod in response. Kanda stared at the long white silvery shining tail Allen had. It was beautiful. The tail fins were slightly transparent but still visible. The merman beside him had a long dark purple tail with traces of neon green on the tail fins and some on the tail itself as well. His hair was a dark purplish black with a slight tan.

The merman was beautiful but Allen was even more beautiful. His beauty was enchanting. His shoulder length hair flowed around him, framing his delicate face and silver gray eyes that shone in the light of the water. His frame was feminine but still had lean strong muscles that developed over-time of being a siren. His skin started turning into scales as it reached his pelvic area then went down to form his long beautiful tail that somehow also contained femininity. His thin arms stayed by his sides whenever he would swim.

"Allen looks so cute," Lenalee commented, smiling at Allen who was in a sitting position in the water but he never touched the bottom. Lavi grinned and chuckled with a short nod.


Kanda's Dormroom, 2:26 P.M.

Shortly after school, Mr. Wenhamm shows Kanda he renovated his room slightly, creating a large aquarium in the wall with a door that opens, an enchantment on the door frame to keep the water from spilling out. Allen jumps inside the aquarium happily, the space inside being four meters both in length and width. It gives him full view of the room unless he wants to use the curtain blinds inside for privacy.

He closes the door and smiles happily as he lays down in the thick bed of sand. "I made this for all the others as well, as it seems they can't get comfortable in a bed. Luckily all the dorm rooms are pretty big, so building this was a cinch." Mr. Wenhamm says. Kanda is amazed, because aside from the aquarium embedded in his wall everything looks the same.

Kanda sighs with a smirk. "Well at least the moyashi doesn't need to sleep in my bathtub again," He said. The aquarium also came with a thermostat, keeping the water at the appropriate temperature automatically. Allen was already asleep so Kanda decided to take a nice long shower.

"What a day... I'm completely exhausted," Kanda muttered with yawn. Watching over a moyashi siren while attending school isn't exactly fun. Poor Tyki even had his hands full earlier, Allen was so excited he transformed on the spot. I have a feeling it's only going to get worse as time goes on. Akuma haven't shown yet, but that doesn't mean they won't show up later in the future. Kanda thought as he got dressed in his night clothes and went to bed.

The light in the aquarium was turned off, so Kanda quietly turned the other lights in the room off before lying down. He looked over at Allen, who was sound asleep in the aquarium with his tail curled slightly in front of him. Kanda stared at the ceiling with a quiet sigh before gradually falling asleep. He'd have to worry about the akuma when they showed up, but right now, all he wanted was sleep.
