Hey!

Thank you sooo much for reading my story! XD

Special thanks to: Erstine 13624, gamerchick01, Neko and guests!

Ah! And one more thing: I DO NOT OWN ANTYHING (beside the plot itself :))

Chapter 2 - Lunch, destruction and "che"

"So Yuu, how was your day?" Tiedoll asked his second son.

"It's lunch time. Just half of the day behind me. So how the hell should I know?"

"Oi, Yuu! You shouldn't use words like this!"

"Father, let him be." The person in front of Kanda finally spoke.

"Marie! You always hold his side!"

'Whining from my left, again' Kanda rested his face on his palm on the table. When you looked at his younger brother, Daisya, the first thing you could see was a big mess of a brown hair. If you payed closer attention to his face you would even see his make-up (single, purple lines under his brown eyes). Generally very weird and annoying person.

"Because he is the only normal person in this room" Kanda looked knowingly at Marie. The other had his eyes closed, but understood his younger brother completely. Why was he like that? He was blind since birth. But that problem was nearly solved thanks to their main scientist's – Komui. He created especially for him earmuffs that help him to hear better. In addition he could somehow recognize others feeling by listening to their heartbeat. Also normally you would said that Marie was bald if not something similar to that thing on Bookman's head.

"Oh? So are you saying that YOU are not normal? I heard that the first step to cure from illness is to admit it's existence to yourself, but I don't think that there is actually any medicine to help you. I'm so, so sorry for you!" Daisya made his "worried" and "I'm-such-a-caring-brother" face, tilted lightly his head to the side and put his palm on Kanda's right shoulder, another one on his own heart.

Till then anger stared to boil inside of Kanda and was ready to explode any minute. He's hand was just searching for Mugen, when…

Remember the huge, wooden door that separated the dining hall from the rest of the castle? Great. So now were no remains left after them. Or IF something had remained, it would have been consumed by flames.

The loud explosion. Smoke and dust flying around carried by wind from just created draft. All four people closed eyes, covered their faces with hands and stood up quickly.

After a few minutes the mist fell showing them the very person that caused the entire incident – Komui.

The tall, nice looking man was wearing a white laboratory coat, long enough to only show his black shoes. He stood straight, proudly holding his head highly (decorated with a - also white - beret lightly tilted to one side). And that mischievous smile of his - completed by treacherous flash on the edge of his half-moon spectacles.

BANG BANG BANG

And a even nicer looking enormously huge robot behind him!

'Looks like Komui wanted a twin brother' Kanda thought. Indeed despite having four legs, the machine had many similarities with his creator: all white and proudly holding his head highly (decorated with a - also white - beret lightly tilted to one side). Sounds familiar?

"My king! I finally made it! I want to present you my Komurin XXXIV!" He yelled self-satisfied.

"It will definitely, absolutely and completely help us in fights and even everyday life! He can as well…" But rest of his monolog became unheard by blunette. If you could say that he was angry before, now he was mad. 'Damn, damn, damn! Why everybody have to interrupt me always when I want to decapitate someone?'

Twang, twang, twang!

BOOM!

The damage was done. The three parts of the "beautiful" robot were laying on the ground.

'Oh, yeah. At once better!' On Kanda's face appeared some kind of light smile. He put his Mugen back to his scabbard and extended his hand behind his head, perfectly aware of the murderous aura coming out from the inventor.

Komui's eyebrow twitched nervously.

"You… You small hooligan … Let me catch you!"

Their little marathon begun.

As they were running through the corridors they spotted a lot of soldiers watching them with amusement. After all that was everyday occurrence. Let me remind, that the name of the machine was 'Komurin XXXIV'. So now you know how many predecessors he had. And all of them were destroyed spontaneously or by Kanda and his famous sword.

"Oi, kiddo! W-w-wait!" Komui yelled while trying to catch his breath.

But Kanda only to speeded up. Passing the library's door…

"Oh, Yuu! What are you – ahhh!"

Hard pull on redhead's arm and now they were running away together.

"Oi, may I now… w-w-why… w-w-why… Why are we escaping?" Lavi exclaimed totally exhausted when they finally lost Komui hiding behind a nearest corner.

"I am going to the forest. And YOU are going with me" Kanda answered calmly, but went to straightly to the side exit not waiting for the redhead's reply.

'Madhouse' – was the prince's last thought after he made step outside. Redhead adjusted new information shortly after that.

"H-h-haaa? Wait for me, Yuu-chan!"

'Shit. I need him now, so I will kill him later.' Kanda had clear aim in mind – to find the silver eyes again.

They walked to the stable and took they stallions. The journey to the forest didn't take too long, something about half an hour. Kanda looked so nobly on his black horse, while Lavi was wriggling all the time, so his brown one was slightly unsure about his rider safety.

"Sooo… Yuu. Mind you telling me now why am I here? Again?"

"You are here because I need somebody to watch over my horse. Again."

"Eeehhh? Only that? Soo boring…" Lavi whined.

Kanda's eyebrow twitched. "Baka Usagi" He whispered loud enough for Lavi to hear.

"Oi! I'm not stupid!" A frown made himself visible on redhead's face.

Maybe they would argued more, but…

"We arrived! Uuuffff…" Redhead jumped happily on the ground.

"Okay, I'm going. There" Kanda handed reins connected with his horse.

"Ok, safe trip! And, hey?"

Blunette stopped in a half-step. "Yhm?"

"What are looking for?"

"Not your business." Kanda shot him list last glare and walked off.

'Hmm… Whatever Kanda is looking for, it has to be important to him. After all we are here something like tenth time this month!' Lavi shook his head.

A Kanda was walking further into the forest was becoming darker and darker. He headed for the place where he last time spotted the white haired boy.

"Where the hell could he go? Ok, maybe that place is a biggest forest in the country, but ugh…!"

He tried really hard. But by now every tree was such similar to the others, every bigger stone was exactly the same like another. He went ever further than ever before.

'This time I will find him'.

After one more hour Kanda finally admitted to himself:

"I'm totally. And hopelessly. Lost… Shit."

He was close to give up, but he his hopes raised up as he managed to hear a barely audible the sound of water, so he went in that direction. Not too much time passed when he saw a small waterfall.

'At last I found water'. He went closer to the little lakelet.

Kanda's alert ears caught the rustle of the leaves. His hand was ready to grab Mugen in any moment. Little steps behind him. One turn around and the katana visible in his palm pointed at… nothing?

"Che. Oi, I'm over there"

'The sound is coming from close, but where…'

"Aaahhh!" Kanda screamed as he noticed a… dwarf!

While Kanda was looking at him with his mouth open the little man went straight to the big stone next to the waterfall. In one jump he placed himself on him, the brown cap with big pompon shook slightly. After that he put out a pipe from his dark green jacket' pocket . Then tapped it a few times on his brown pants, loaded it with the tobacco, fired and pulled hard from it. The mist came from his potato shaped nose.

"Che, fly will get in your mouth" He announced calmly not even looking at the prince.

"…Ha?"

"Very intelligent response, my boy. Very indeed."

"Ha?"

"Che. My boy, there is no need to be so angry. Kids are so stupid.".

"Hey! I'm not stupid!" Kanda yelled pissed off already. He was shaking slightly and he clenched his fists.

"…."

"Oi! Say something!"

"Che"

'Shit. The hell? He thinks that who is he? Damn. Exactly – who is he? Hmm… So maybe in different way'

"I'm Kanda. You?"

Silence.

"Moric"

"Oh"

"Che. Surprised?" The dwarf smirked. "That's quite common name here".

"Oh."

"Che, you really have intelligent responses".

Kanda just turned and started to walk away.

"Ugh! You are too damn annoying! If you are not going to have a damn conversation with-"

"I know 'what' are you looking for." The stern vice came. "Or rather 'who'."

Kanda quickly turned back. "Y-y-you know? How the hell could you – "

"And I would advise you to stop."

"…Ha?"

"Che. Stop. Just stop. It will be better for both of you."

"Oi! I'm not – "

"Che. Do you know that forest?"

Kanda made step back and lowered his head, embarrassment all over his face.

"N-n-noo"

"Che. Exactly. You don't know the forest. You don't know the animals and another beings there. And you do not know HIM."

The prince tried to interrupted him: "Him? Who is 'HIM?"

"And it should stay like this." This time the dwarf looked seriously in the prince's eyes.

'Shitty damn! He is looking down on me! Me? No way!' Kanda stood straight.

"No. I'm going to find him and…" 'And what?'

"Che. And what?"

"And…" Kanda had problems with that question. He had never considered before WHAT was he going to do AFTER finding his silver eyed boy.

"Che. I can see that you are truly determined to find him, but determination is too less to make him look at you."

Kanda's cheeks flushed bright red: "O-o-oi! Who did say that I…"

One knowing look and smirk on Moric's face made him stop.

The dwarf looked away."Che. Okay, I will give you my advise – learn how to fight, learn how respect people and nature, and learn how to protect. This boy is well known in this forest and he knows all abaut us. He is somehow 'protector' of that place. If you really are interested in him you should know that. He is not going anywhere. So come here when you will be ready. And we will see." Then he smiled lightly.

Kanda stood speechless. 'Am I going to listen to him?' He let out a breath he was holding for some time.

"Damn, okay. I got it. But will you just tell me his name?"

"Che. Nope" And he disappeared.

-/- time skip -/-

Lavi saw Kanda came out of the forest. And surprisingly he wasn't angry!

"Oi, Yuu-chan! Did you find –"

He stopped feeling coldness of his friend's sword on his own neck.

"Che. Call me that again and I will kill you, stupid rabbit!" Kanda growled at him.

Lavi curled a little and turn around ready to see a god of madness in human body. But the prince was… smirking! 'And wait! What a 'che'?'

"Eee.. Yuu? Where did you get that from?"

"Che. What?"

"The 'che' thing!"

Kanda only mounted his horse and started to ride away.

"Che." 'Hmm… I think I like it' He smiled to himself.

Thanx for reading again! Next time we will skip ten years ;)
