Yumi x L Lawliet

And Pathless

And remind all of you that reviews are welcome, just don't be too hard on me, please.

Updates are taking a little longer than I expected, mainly because I'm a perfectionist and typing up each chapter takes forever, please be patient though, I'll try to do my best to add new chapters on a regular basis.

Anyway this chapter has a lot less of Kanda's point of view and a lot more of Allen's. Don't worry, there will be more Kanda in the next chapter I promise. I'm gonna stop talking now and let you enjoy the next chapter.

Chapter 2 Noticing

Kanda smiled inwardly as he messed with the poor Moyashi's head. All throughout the history class the kid had been sneaking looks at him. The white haired teen seemed to have no idea that Kanda could see through the slight peeks.

About half way through the hour Kanda was getting very annoyed with the new kid looking at him every five seconds or so. Instead of blowing up the way he usually did, Kanda decide to have some fun with the sprout. That's when Kanda began to play with his hair, which wasn't abnormal, although he generally never did it knowingly.

Gently rapping a strand of hair around his index finger Kanda began to create little ringlets on his finger, only to let them fall out once again. During this would ordeal Kanda pretended to be paying absolute attention to the teacher, but he was really watching Allen to see if there was any reaction.

Boy was there, Allen stopped even trying to pay attention to the lesson, and all of his attention was focused on Kanda's hair.

Kanda continued the motion for about ten minutes, until he finally thought, "What the hell am I doing? Trying to seduce the sprout? No freaking way." He quickly stopped messing with his hair, what he'd been thinking in the first place was a mystery. Once he'd gotten over his outrage at his thoughts his focus went back to the lesson, but he couldn't help the faint smile that crossed his thoughts over Allen's sneaking looks.

When the hour finally ended, both Kanda and Allen got up and walked out of the classroom together. Kanda started off in the direction of his next class, expecting Allen to follow him without question. After walking half way down the hall he looked back to see the new kid following dutifully behind.

"My next class is Spanish," Allen said knowing his companion really didn't care.

"Fine I'll show you the way, I'm going over there anyway." Kanda said over his shoulder. Looking at the kid for any objections, when there weren't any he continued down the hall.

In truth Kanda's next class was French, a subject he had enjoyed sense starting it in 8th grade. Kanda had no idea what drew him to the language, it was just so majestic, and flowing, all while managing to be frustratingly annoying. Kanda had actually taken a school trip to France the previous summer, and had found the country to be exactly like the language, very pretty, while still managing to get under his skin. Kind of like Allen, so pretty in features, and yet so annoyingly complex. He didn't understand anything the kid did, and didn't know how to act in front of him without doing something wrong. What was even more annoying and confusing was the sprouts fascination with Kanda. Of all the people in the school, Allen had to choose Kanda to be infatuated with.

Kanda mentally shook himself, once again, trying to rid his mind of images of Allen. All he had to do was make it to French in one piece, and then he could decide on his feelings towards the sprout without any interruptions from said boy. Kanda would have an hour, no more or less, to decide how to proceed on the topic of dealing with Allen.

OoOoOoOo-oOoOoOoO

By the time the history class ended, Allen had worked himself into a very confused state. What the heck was Kanda trying to do? One minute he's pissed off, the next he's doing stuff like playing with his hair, almost as if tempting Allen to do something. Just looking at Kanda brought on thoughts of the older teen's rapid mood changes, from annoyed to playful in the blink of an eye. Allen honestly didn't understand the older teen, not that he would ever want to.

Allen followed Kanda out the door and back into the hallway to go to his next class. He looked at his schedule to see that he had Spanish next, which confused him. At his old school he'd taken Latin and Italian, but apparently this school offered neither, so he had been stuck in first year Spanish. Thankfully Allen had always had a knack for languages, so Spanish should be easy.

When he told Kanda that he needed to go to Spanish next, the blue haired teen seemed to relax slightly. Apparently Allen would not be sharing the next class with his grumpy escort, which was a good thing. It gave him some time to think about his new school, and his angry escort without getting caught.

As they walked down the halls Allen tried to ignore the stares of the other students as he went by, sure he was an oddity, that was for sure, but it was really rude for people to stare the way they did. Not that he hadn't gotten used to the stares his entire life, ever sense that day so many years ago, when everything in Allen's life had changed. Allen stopped his thoughts right there, he would not dwell in the past today, it was a day for new begins, not for moping around remembering what had once been.

Allen brought his thoughts back around to the reason for the stares, his scar and his white hair. Those kinds of things did get you noticed pretty quickly in high school. As everyone else stared Allen noticed that his escort didn't ever seem to look in his direction. Almost as if the blue haired teen was trying to avoid any and all eye contact, which, strange as it sounds, actually made Allen feel a little better.

They finally made it to the language wing and after Kanda nodded his head and grunted in the general direction of Allen's Spanish class they parted ways for the next hour. Just before he walked into the room, Allen turned around just in time to see Kanda walk into a French room.

"So Kanda takes a romance language," Allen thought to himself with a smirk, as he walked into the room.

Once again the teacher looked surprised to find a new student in her class, and had Allen promptly introduce himself to the class. After another awkward introduction, where Allen stated his name while everyone looked at him, Allen found himself a seat next to a red head, with an eye patch on for whatever reason.

"Hey I'm Lavi," the kid said, "We have first hour Math together."

Allen remember him, he had been trying to get Kanda's attention by throwing papers at the long haired teen when Allen had walked into the math class. Lavi gave him an encouraging smile and offered up his hand.

"Well at least this kid has some manners," thought Allen as he shook Lavi's hand. Lavi frowned at Allen's hand in puzzlement for a second before letting go.

"Why do you wear gloves?" the question was out of Lavi's mouth before he could even to rein it back in, "And what's with the scar on your face?"

So Lavi was one of the curious ones, one of the few people who were actually brave enough to ask Allen about his abnormalities. Allen knew that Lavi was going to be sorely disappointed, Allen never shared anything with anyone, and it was way too personal to delve into his past.

"Why do you want to know?" Allen asked, baiting him a bit before launching into a lie.

"I'm just wondering, must have an interesting back story," was all Lavi said in reply.

Allen grimaced inwardly, he hated talking about himself, even if what he said was a total lie. He had to come up with something fast or else the red head would keep asking, he seemed like the type who didn't give up until he knew the truth.

"Well, first off I got the scar in a bike accident when I was younger, and second I wear the gloves because I have a skin condition," Allen told Lavi, the lie wasn't flawless but it would do. Lavi looked at the whit haired teen before him skeptically, he wasn't buying a word of it, even though Allen was really great at lying. Apparently Lavi wasn't going to push it any farther though, because he went back to listening to the teacher.

This finally gave Allen some time to think about his new school, without having Kanda there to intrude on his thoughts. Even without Kanda there Allen still managed to get sidetracked thinking about the hot Japanese teen.

He thought about the reaction he was getting as a new student, which wasn't the best, but it wasn't the worst either. When the principal had chosen Kanda as his escort was incomprehensible to him, he got the feeling that the moody teen would like to be anywhere but showing a new student around. Even though Kanda seemed to have no love for the task assigned him, Allen was glad that Kanda had been chosen for the job. He was just the type of person Allen liked, he didn't ask too many questions, and didn't poke about in other people's business.

Once again his thoughts were straying to Kanda when they shouldn't have been. Allen quickly readjusted his thoughts to the school, and the people within it. Allen had been in quite a few schools in his life, mainly because his legal guardian traveled a lot for various reasons. This was one of the better schools in terms of people, fewer people looked at him like a freak, and he seemed to be making friends with a couple people, which was saying something. Hopefully the rest of the day would be this uneventful, but that wasn't likely to happen, Allen always managed to grab someone's attention. Certain people apparently thought he was though, just based on his scar, therefor he usually got into a fight by the end of his first day of school. Thankfully years of living with his guardian had taught him how to fight, and usually win despite his size. Although at this school he had Kanda as an escort, which, just by the way people looked at him, Allen could tell was probably a good thing. Kanda was a very imposing figure, and knowledge of how to fight and win was evident in his muscular frame.

There he went again, thinking about Kanda. It was proving to be more difficult than expected to keep his mind off the topic of Kanda.

"This is a very, very bad sign," thought Allen, giving an outward grimace.

"Are you okay? You look a little sick," Lavi was leaning over his desk to talk to Allen.

"I'm fine, but thanks for asking," Allen said back, even though he was feeling anything but. At that point the teacher asked him something in Spanish, which had Allen stupidly looking up at her. Thankfully Lavi was next to him and answered her with a smile, which she returned then went back to the lesson.

"I really should pay more attention," thought Allen. To Lavi he asked, "What did she say? And what did you tell her?"

"Oh she asked if we would like to share what we were talking about. My response was that you were having trouble and that I was trying to help you. Kind like I'm doing now."

Allen gave a relived sigh, it wasn't as bad as he thought. He turned back to the lesson, given that trying to think was only making him confused. After about ten minutes of paying attention some of the words were starting to make sense, the teacher was speaking entirely in Spanish though so Allen had to rely heavily on Lavi's knowledge of the language.

The hour was almost over when Lavi asked, "Hey what hour do you have lunch? Fourth or fifth?"

Taking a quick look at his schedule Allen saw that he actually had lunch next hour, which meant he would finally get to eat, he was starving. He relayed this information to Lavi, which had the red head beaming in excitement.

"That means you have lunch with Lenalee, Yuu, and I," Lavi said.

"Who's Lenalee? And who's Yuu?" Allen was a little perplexed.

"Oh I forgot you only know Yuu by his last name. Yuu is Kanda, but he hates it when you call him Yuu, I really don't know why. Lenalee is one of my friends, you'll love her," he smiled at Allen, then went back to paying attention to the teacher.

"So, Yuu is Kanda's first name," Allen thought, "Good to know."

I know I know, my chapter division kind of sucks, oh well this is where I'm going to stop it. Hope you liked Chapter 2. Remember to review. Thanks.

In a quick answer to your question Yumi x L Lawliet, Lavi's gonna show up in the next chapter, and I do mean like actually show up, not just have a one liner then leave.
