Bachelor Turned Father

Chapter 2: Becoming a Father

It was a simple question, but for some reason, the boy only huddled even more behind the butler. The old butler looked behind him and smiled, while patting the white, haired head. Then he looked at his master and said bluntly, "Please put your sword away, Master Yu. Yes, he is Allen Walker."

"Perfect. Get the car ready, I'm going to bring the bean sprout back to those bastards and murder them while I'm at it." Kanda moved forward, but the old butler did not budge.

"Tiedoll, move," growled Kanda.

"Master Yu, put that sword away."

"Move, old man, and don't call me 'Yu'."

"Put the sword away, Master Yu."

"M.O.V.E."

"Put the sword away, Yu-kun."

The coal-black haired bachelor was panting with rage now (veins were popping), when another servant came up to him.

"Master, you might as well stop. You know how Tiedoll is like," said the large servant named, Marie.

Kanda glared at him, but the bachelor knew that Marie was right. The raven head kicked a nearby stand, causing a 1,000 dollar vase on top to fall and shatter on the ground like a puzzle. Kanda was still fuming, when a small tug on his pants happened. The bachelor looked down and saw the seven year old. Trembling, the boy looked up at Kanda, his current foster father, and seemed like he wanted to say something.

"What is it?" Kanda was like ice, but his ice started to melt when he saw the scared face of the small boy.

"I-it's...A-allen," said the boy in a trembling voice.

"What?"

"It's...A-allen, n-not...b-bean sp-sprout."

Kanda blinked at the boy, realizing that he unconsciously called him "bean sprout". The raven head looked back down at Allen and smirked, "You're certainly short enough to be one, Bean Sprout."

Allen bit his lower lip and said defiantly, "I am not! You are just too tall!"

The blue-eyed man laughed, "A bean sprout is a bean sprout. Nothing can change, Bean Sprout."

The younger boy stomped his left foot, "I am NOT Bean Sprout! It's A-L-L-E-N! It's only two syllables, is it that hard to pronounce, Straight-Cut?"

Kanda's ice stops melting.

"...What?"

Allen gulps, though he was still trying to look defiant.

"WHAT DID YOU FUCKING SAY, YOU FUCKING BEAN SPROUT?! WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU CALL STRAIGHT-CUT ? DO YOU WANT TO DIE, BEAN SPROUT?! WAIT, YOU'RE NOT A BEAN SPROUT, YOU SMALLER THEN A BEAN SPROUT TIMES INFINITY!!"

"What? What did you say, you girly straight-cut!" retorted Allen, back at Kanda.

"GIRLY STRAIGHT-CUT?!" roared Kanda turning bright purple, "DIE!"

The purple bachelor swung his sword towards Allen, when

"Yu-chan. Stop it. He's only a child."

Kanda froze at Tiedoll demands. When he got himself together again, Kanda picked the albino boy up by his collar effortlessly. He then shoved the child to Tiedoll.

"Fine, he can stay for today. But tomorrow he has to go." demanded Kanda.

Allen put his hands behind his head in a relaxing way and snorted, "Who wants to live here?"

A vein popped.

Kanda threw the albino to the butler with great strength, and started to walk away.

"Master Yu."

Kanda stopped yet again.

"Don't you think, as his foster father, you should be the one to show Allen his room?"

"What? We're giving him a room, Tiedoll?" questioned Kanda, looking more annoyed then ever.

Tiedoll just smiled, put Allen down on his feet, and pushed him to Kanda. Allen stumbled to Kanda, looked up and stared a bit, then he stuck his tongue out.

Vein number two popped.

Kanda threw Allen over his shoulder and stomped upstairs, with the boy flailing. When he left, Marie and Tiedoll looked at each other, and gave one another a thumbs up. They grinned evilly.


"Let me go!" yelled Allen, flailing uselessly.

"Shut up, Bean Sprout." Kanda kept walking, as if Allen wasn't on his shoulder.

"It's not Bean Sprout! It's Allen! Let me down!"

"Whatever, Bean Sprout."

The raven head continued to walk down the overly decorated hallway, creating shadows whenever passing a window. But then Kanda felt that his back was getting rather wet. Kanda stopped, his sky blue eyes wide with recognition.

Is the brat, crying? thought Kanda as he heard sniffs coming from the albino.

"Uh...um...," stumbled Kanda, "Are you crying?"

"I am not!" retorted Allen, rubbing his eyes frantically.

He's definitely crying. Argh, how annoying, what am I to do now?

The coal-black haired man decided to first put the child down. Unfortunately, Allen was still crying. The boy turned his back to Kanda, so the man wouldn't be able to see his tears. Kanda's patience was reaching it's limits.

"Okay, what the hell is it, Bean Sprout?"

Still sniffing, the boy answered, "I-it's NOT b-bean sprout!"

Allen continued to cry, while Kanda stood behind, not knowing what to do. A couple of maids passed by, and when they saw their master and the boy, they started muttering to themselves. The maids continued to look back and shake their heads at the scene. Kanda realized that he had to hurry this up, otherwise every servant in his household would think that Kanda was a child abuser. The twenty-five year old bented down behind Allen, scratched his head a bit, then said softly, "What is it? Come on, tell me."

Allen continued to cry, Kanda really wanted to punch the boy to his senses, but then Allen started to speak, "I don't like it."

"Don't like what?"

"I just don't like it. You're the same as the others. Treating me only like a kid, like I'm nothing!"

Kanda was silent, then he stood up and snorted, "I don't know what happened, but just let me say this. I'm not like those old baldies, so don't you dare put me in the same category as them. Come on, here's your room, I'll sent Tiedoll with your belongings later."

The raven started to walk away, but then turned back and smirked, "Dinner is at five-thirty, don't be late okay, Bean sprout?"

As his foster father strode away, Allen stared after him and muttered softly, "No, you're just like them."


Kanda was yet again perplexed. It didn't make any sense, he just couldn't understand. Nothing fit with the law of science. It just didn't make sense! Kanda thought that since the Bean Sprout was only a boy, it shouldn't change his dinner quantity by that much. He was entirely wrong. The raven head already ordered the chef nine times to make more food, each request was bigger than the last, and it looks like he would soon make his tenth.

Allen placed down the last plate, cleaned from any scraps, and looked at Kanda hopefully. The bachelor grumbled, and gave a flick to Marie, meaning to get more food. When the tenth order came, the albino immediately grabbed it and started to wolfing it down. Kanda watched in disgust, still not understanding how such a small stature could consume more then ten times his size and not gain an ounce. Allen finished his tenth serving quickly and collapsed on the velvet dinner chair, his feet not reaching the carpet. He patted his stomach with complete satisfaction.

"Tch, who would have thought that a bean sprout like you can eat that much." Kanda's chin was on his hand as he grumbles sideways.

"I guess somebody as girly as you can't eat as much," smirked Allen, emphasizing on 'girly' as he glanced at the small plate of soba.

"GET TO BED, BEAN SPROUT! YOU'RE LEAVING TOMORROW!"


Kanda got out of the bathroom, he was wearing a bathrobe that showed his muscular chest. His smooth, shiny hair fell like silk on his shoulder and back, his gaze was calm. Any girl would have fallen for that.

He decided to head down and get a nighttime drink. As Kanda walked down the halls, he noticed that the British boy's room still had the lights on. The raven turned to the clock hanging on the opposite direction of the room, and saw that it was one o' clock. Getting too curious to why a seven year old was still up at a time like this, Kanda walked to the door, and opened it.

Allen was in the middle of the room, half-naked, and was doing one-hand push-ups. The white haired boy looked back and saw Kanda, he immediately stood up, looking quite embarrassed.

"Why are you doing this, this late, no, this early in the morning?" asked Kanda, an eyebrow raised.

"My Master tells me to do this, so I can get stronger," mumbled Allen, looking down, "I'm supposed to do 100 a day, fifty at night, fifty in the morning."

Kanda's left eyebrow was raised even higher, "Master?"

Allen nodded.

The bachelor shook his head, wondering who it was that told a seven year old to do 100 one hand push-ups, "But even if you had to do fifty, it shouldn't take you this long."

The albino looked down again, and started to twiddle his thumbs and whispered, "I couldn't sleep."

"Oh"

Kanda didn't know how to handle this, and said randomly, while waving his hand, "What, you want me to read you to sleep?"

The young boy immediately shot his head towards Kanda, his eyes were sparkling with excitement.

"Um..." started Kanda, as he backed up.

"Would you really?" continued Allen, eyes still wide, "Nobody, I mean, nobody ever read a story for me in years!"

Staring at the adorable face of the boy, Kanda, for the first time in his life, gave in to somebody other then old Tiedoll. The bachelor went to the nearby bookshelf and picked out "Robin Hood". Allen, seeing Kanda picking a book, jumped on the four poster bed, burying himself under the thickblanket. The bachelor pulled a chair up to the bed and opened the book.

"Do you know about 'Robin Hood'?" asked Kanda, not in the kindest voice, but quite an acomplishment from him.

The petite boy nodded.

Kanda grinned then started to read.

Thirty minutes passed, and Allen was finally asleep. Kanda closed the book shut and sighed, his mouth was dry. He never talked thirty minutes straight before, and it wasn't a pleasant feeling. Setting the book aside, he got up, took a glance at the peaceful face of Allen, he smiled for one second and left the room. After he closed the door quietly, Kanda leaned on it.

"I suppose it wouldn't be so bad to allow him to stay for awhile," whispered Kanda. He got up and left to his room, yawning.

But what the young bachelor did not know was that at the intersection of two halls, Tiedoll and Marie were there. They were sniffing in their handkerchiefs or, in Tiedoll's case, wiping his tears away.
