Hey! Thanks so much for those of you who are reading this, and thanks even more to those who reviewed! Oh, and Wohooo! Special mention to this story's VERY FIRST REVIEWER! Thanks Purple Pallbearer! You are officially awesome! (all of my readers are awesome but…) Oh, and I apologize in advance if this chapter isn't very good. I'm sick so I think the medicine is making me a little loopy… .
"Che."
"Don't 'Che' me, young man! Something's wrong with you, and you're not saying what! You've been even more cranky than usual! Now tell me before I go tell my brother that you harassed me!" Lenalee's finger wagged dangerously in front of Kanda's brooding face.
"Woman, I told you! Nothing is wrong, now shut up and do something girly!" The swordsman picked up his now-empty soba bowl and disposed of it on top of a giant pile of dirty dished. 'Moyashi must have already eaten. Damn glutton.'
Kanda was walking to the exit of the cafeteria with speed, with high hopes of not running into any other pesky individuals that would analyze his every move. Meaning Lavi. But, luck was never on his side. Just as he had taken the first step into the large hallway, long arms had wrapped themselves around his neck with no sign of loosening their deathly grip.
"Yuuuu~! I've been looking for you everywhere! I wanna spend time with my best bud!" Lavi was jumping up and down with joy while his arms were still around a now very pissed off Kanda.
"Usagi… If you call me by that damn name again, I swear that I'll kill you in five seconds flat!" Kanda grabbed one of the redheads attached arms and twisted it around until Lavi fell to floor cradling his injured wrist. Without another glance toward the renewed bouncing rabbit, the dark haired exorcist finally got out of the far-too-crowded cafeteria.

After building up all her will power and strength, Lenalee peeked inside the tall, somewhat intimidating door. Kanda's room.
She was here on a mission. She just had to figure out what was bugging Kanda. Not many people had picked up on the slight change of atmosphere around him, but Lenalee and Lavi had. Lenalee- being a self-announced friend of Kanda, took it upon herself to find out what was wrong. She had originally asked Lavi to accompany her on her quest to examine the dark teen's room, but the redhead had simply smiled nervously and run off with his tail between his legs. Apparently numerous death threats were poised at the idea of ever entering his room.
After discreetly following the Japanese exorcist out of the giant mess hall, she had soon trailed off, seeing as Kanda was making his way towards the training level. Perfect.
So now here, hazardously leaning inside of the gloomy samurai's room, Lenalee hesitantly pushed the door slightly to the side and stepped into the unknown surroundings. The first thing she though was 'boring'. Kanda's room was entirely empty aside from a small old bed in the far corner; an old rotting cabinet which she could only assume held his clothing, and a small wooden desk that contained a single Lotus flower that was tranquilly floating in an hour glass.
Lenalee approached the old desk, and shortly eyed the hourglass. The flower struck the female exorcist as strange indeed, but nonetheless, she waved it off for now, resuming her search for any hints that would unbury Kanda's somewhat strange actions.
That's when she noticed the lone small box on the very edge of the wooden table. It was a small silver rectangle with an intricate metal design lacing the top of the lid. Multiple silver vines ran together and overlapped with each other, all meeting in the center where a small blue gem laid. The box in itself was beautiful.
Lenalee couldn't help herself; she reached out and opened the box. When she took her first look, she froze. Shocked was a major understatement at what she found. Her eyes were large as she slowly placed down the lid. The girl couldn't do anything to stop the small grin that spread itself over her face. Because what she found inside that intricate little box, was a piece of neatly folded paper with a small heart drawn in the center of it.
'Jackpot!' was all the snooping girl could think as the picked up the delicate piece of paper.
Leanalee couldn't seem to open the letter fast enough, as her eyes absorbed ever detail. She quickly read the letter. And then she read it again. And then she read it again. Lenalee just couldn't grasp the concept that somebody actually loves Kanda. The antisocial samurai with a stick shoved up his ass.
As the grinning girl re-folded the love letter, she made sure to make everything look exactly as it had before she had gone and disturbed it all. Lenalee found herself still grinning as she left the Kanda's room. She had finished her mission. She found out what was wrong with the brooding dark-haired exorcist. He was troubled about the unknown secret admirer.

Allen was terrified.
He simply couldn't stop his nervous pacing, or his fast-beating heart. The first letter had been sent, and he was sure that by now, Kanda had read it.
Breakfast had been uneventful aside from the usual glances that finders had thrown at him in disgust of his giant mound of food. But Allen had learned to ignore these long ago. Just as Allen was leaving to go train in his room, he had overheard a certain Japanese exorcist's voice, yelling at a mischievous looking Lavi. He remembered how quickly he had fled the cafeteria, in high hopes that he wouldn't also get scolded by Kanda. Well, that's what he told himself. In all honesty the young white-haired boy just couldn't bring himself to face Kanda after he'd just sent his first letter to him.
It's not like Kanda could know it was him… Could he? Did he? No, he couldn't. But… If he found out... would he be disgusted? Disgusted because they're both boys? Disgusted because Allen was cursed? More and more questions bombarded the young boy's head as he sat himself down, in fears that if he continued to be standing up, the suddenly spinning world would cause him to lose his balance and fall.
'Okay, clear your mind, Allen. Maybe Kanda will like you if you ever tell him… Uuhh, IF I ever tell him?! Does that mean I might never tell him?! Why is this so confusing?!'
Allen thought back to it, Kanda didn't seem to act like he knew that Allen held a burning love for him, but he did notice that Kanda had been acting differently. Well, from what he saw. He really hadn't seen much of the dark haired teen today, except for when he was scolding Lavi for who-knows-what.
Finding his own trails of thought to be too difficult and confusing, Allen relented into calming himself down. To clear his mind of all the troubling questions and thoughts of being ignored, he got up only to heavily sit down at the chair in front of his neat desk.
A drawer laid partially askew out of the rest of the desk, and Allen hurriedly reached out to yank it open further. There in the desk lay a single pencil, many sheets of blank papers, and one finished love letter to Kanda Yuu. His second letter.
Finding it to calm himself and his nerves, the love-struck boy read his own letter.
Dear Kanda Yuu,
I know I have just sent you another letter, and I'm not even sure if you've read it yet, but I will still continue to write to you. Honestly I've been nervous ever since I've first delivered that first letter. My mind's been filled with thoughts of Yuu. I've found that writing to you has calmed me down some, but I can't help but feel scared. Will you hate me if you ever find who I am, Kanda? I don't want you to hate me. I love you, and I want you to love me too, but I fear that this is hope is in vain. I don't think you will ever love somebody like me. I'm not worthy to even be speaking with you. But I can't stop myself, so I shall continue to write to you as long as I can. Because I love you. And I'll love you more and more each passing day.
I love you even more today Kanda Yuu,
Your Secret Admirer.
Anndd cut! Alright, I know that there's not much Allen in this chapter, but at least I update right? I don't really like this chapter very much, seeing as it kinda resolves around Lenalee the Spy… Plus I'm on sickness medication so there's that too… Also! Please review! I've had so many lovely reviews so far, and I'd love to hear from even more of you!
