"Innocence, activate!"
Slash!
The blood soon turned to be something which Kanda never imagined. It took a shape like a Kusarigama. If you have seen a ninja, you will know what weapon she held. With dark color and a brush from Meena's right hand, the sharp side of the weapon began to glow. It was like the weapon knows what its master asks.
"I know about your healing ability, but could you take a bit rest for your injured leg? I promise, I will not bother you if you can move like some minutes ago," said Meena. Three level 1 akumas approached. No response from Kanda.
'I think a make a big mistake. God, can you hear me? If a have another mission, please don't make me be a partner for Kanda. I can't hide myself from my naive action.'
May God hear your voice,Meena. But, the next minutes later she never thinks that she had made a wish about that. More akumas and more slash passed Kanda's eyes. Her steady and structural move made some impressive in Kanda's eyes. Although he felt a little (very little) worried about the chain that connecting the two side weapon.
No careless move.
No battle cry.
She kept her silent and stoic face.
Although when she slice the akumas with a little force. Yup, every single brush made her weapon looks sharper than before.
'Maybe because her brush in the sharp side', thought Kanda.
His eyes got wider when she approached him. Of course still in her stoic and steady face. She jumped and landed a violent attack to a level 2 akuma. The akuma itself didn't need to make a brute force just to dodge her attack.
"What a cute girl with a creepy weapon. But it's useless with my claws."
One hand to be shield from her attack and another tried to sneak behind her back. Kanda tried to stand with his Mugen. Another hand had found the good position. It raised and aimed on Meena's back.
"Die."
Kanda sprinted to Meena. But Meena was also difficult to predict. She swung the chain and the other end reached the nearest building. She swung herself and took the position on top of the Akuma. A deadly kick came to the akuma's head.
And one punch from her left hand was designated as her final attack. A cracked voice came from akuma's head. And Meena swung her Kusarigama as the end.
"No more akuma detected. The field is clear. Innocence is safe," said Meena. She raised her scythe to her head and suddenly, with a shock flash, it returned to be her black lovely ribbon. She jumped to the ground and took her backpack.
She approached Kanda who still standing with his mugen.
"Your leg?"
"Don't worry, it will heal."
"No. I mean this," said Meena with her look at her right hand. It was a scroll of bandage. She gave it to Kanda. "You can do it with yourself, right?"
Kanda tried to sit and it was successful. But the next one was failed.
"Can i?"
No answer. But Meena took the scroll and started her other skill. She looked like a pro after all. Some minutes later, she placed her remaining scroll to her backpack. She stood and offered a hand for Kanda.
"Can you walk?"
No answer.
'I feel 100% guilty for him. Please God; can you give me some 'bravery' to apologize to Kanda?'
'Why am I always praying now?'
"I'm sorry for interfered in your fight. I'm so sorry. It always be my bad attitude," said Meena with crippled Kanda in her right shoulder.
"No need to apologize. We got the innocence."
'What? Am I dreaming? Kanda is speaking to me with his usual tone. I must knock my head to know that I'm not dreaming right now.'
Too bad for Meena. Her action only made a big sweat-drop in Kanda's back head. What do you think if there is a cute and lovely girl who knocked her own head with the brute force? He wondered how many cells that has been 'killed' or 'crushed' during the process.
"Sorry. My bad," said Meena with her cuteness. But it didn't work with Kanda. Finally, they walked together with Kanda's arm on Meena's left shoulder. A cerry blossom fragrant spread softly in Kanda's nose. He realized that was from Meena's ponytail hair. Her smooth ponytail hair kept swaying back and forth. It made the fragrant spreading wider but still softer. The fragrant made his mind relaxed.
Meena still kept her balance with Kanda on her shoulder. She felt like only her who kept walking. No move from Kanda. Was he falling to the deepest sleep? Meena just sighed and tried to keep the balance. Actually, they reached the nearest town and ordered a room with a pair of beds. She plopped Kanda and untied his shoes. She did it as a Mom who nursing her son after all.
Well, everything was done.
She took the biggest blanket and plopped it on her complete-black-order-uniform body. But the next second, she let out a hindered scream because a black golem was crushed under her back. She jumped and tried to keep the silence because there was a lump with sleeping mode beside her.
"Sorry, I'm sorry… I forgot you. And I forgot Komui-san too. What a stupid girl I am," said Meena with her punching head mode.
"Meena? Are you there?"
The golem let out a familiar voice. It's Komui!
"Yes, I'm here. The innocence is safe. I have it in my pocket. But can I ask you something?" said Meena with lowered voice.
"What is it?"
"Kanda got injured in the process. Now, we are in the inn in nearest town. He still fall asleep in here after all. I can't to wake him up because I'm scare. Could you give us two days before we head back to the order?"
"Of course honey. Actually I know that your position is too far from the order. But if you lost the contact, I will send the other exorcist."
"Thank you very much for your understanding. Komui-san. I don't know if I must to hear and look at his sour face. It makes me want to take suicide right in the place," said Meena with 'freely' sigh.
"Kanda is the people like that. Everyone in the order knows how he is. But don't be traumatized, I hope you'll get used of it soon."
"I hope so," said Meena with her blue aura…

A petal falls from the lotus.
A pair of dark eyes grow widen. The owner jumped and realized that it was a dream. He turned his head right, a wooden wall. He turned his head left, a lump with full blanket covered its body. If you have go to a hospital and look at the room which the place for the dead man, you will see it right now in Kanda's eyes.
A move detected.
And Kanda saw a body of his partner doing a flip flop and the end it reached the cold wooden floor. A tiny whisper came from a frustrated face.
"My head is spinning….."
Kanda sat and lowered his legs. It was healed quickly than he predicted last night. He took the shoes and tied the strings. He stood and took the Mugen. Ignoring Meena's words in his head.
"It healed faster than I predicted. What a wonderful body you have!" said Meena cheerfully. She grabbed her own shoes and jacket.
"Please wait for me! I'm not done yet! Please!" said Meena with her pitiful eyes. Kanda turned back and sat on the edge of his bed. He watched her who still confusing with her own shoes. Was she a kindergarten kid? After a breathtaking scene of her battle last night, now he must saw a childish figure who can't tie her own shoes.
"That's why I hate this shoes!" said Meena. She took the shoes and placed it inside her backpack. And she stood proudly with her bare foot. What an unpredictable kid!
"Let's go to the order! Oh, I forget one thing! Komui said that we have two days before heading to headquarter. And last night I said that you're my older brother because I don't have much money to rent 2 rooms for us. Sorry, "said Meena.
Kanda sighed and walked towards Meena. he took her shoes from her backpack and placed it beside Meena's foot. She jumped and sat on the edge of her bed. She knew what Kanda means.
"Watch and do it by yourself for your left foot," said Kanda. He started with the edge of the strings. Meena also did the same.
It took some minutes in silence. And finally, it was over!
"Thanks. I'm too used with Chinese shoes. It makes my move faster without feeling worry about the strings," said Meena with followed Kanda in the back. But a loud thud reached Kanda's ears.
She fell because her left shoe. It because the strings.
"How can you move last night? Don't tell me that you asked someone to tie your string shoes!"
"Yes, I did. But it was a long time ago. She tied my shoes and from then, I never untie this shoe. Because the number of this shoes a little bigger from my actually foot, it can slip out easily," said Meena with frustrating face (again). She tried to practice what Kanda taught last morning.
She did it!
But a pair of hands grabbed the end of the strings.
"You need to fasten it. How can a powerful like exorcist can't fasten her own shoes?"
"You said that I'm powerful?"
"Che."
"Hey, you said that a minute ago!"
"Whatever."
"Thanks. Again I think….. hehehehe."
" Anata wa kakkoi desu!" *author's note: you're cool"
"Whatever."
"And thanks for the word 'Powerful'."
"Che."

Author's note:
This is the result about my opinion. I think this fanfiction is livelier if I use Japanese. So, people in here always talk with Japanese. Sorry for the inconvenience. And thanks for MaleficentKitty the first reviewer of this fanfiction. Your advice is really helping me until I finished the third chapter.
I also added the third chapter too. So, what's your opinion?
