Note From BRP: You may notice a change in tense from past chapters. There is nothing to worry over. I just took advice from a friend.

Disclaimer: If I owned D. gray man I would keep Timcampy all to myself. Sadly I don't since I have no Tim

Warning: change in tense, there would be anything M rated for a while. But I do have something in mind.

Chapter 3- A Burning

"Shit" Allen cursed under his breath as he turned down the wrong hallway again. "Where the hell is the stupid library? Who was the Bloody genius to build such a complicated school?' Allen thought to himself as he found himself at another dead end.

It's been a week since the first day of school and Allen still had troubles finding his way to the library. It was his free period and he wanted to spend it quietly studying.

"Bye Yuu!!" a cheery voice floated through windows into the deserted hall. "Baka Usagi! Don't call me by first name!" the only response was a giggle as the hyperactive red head bounced in to the east building.

'He hates being called by his first name.' Allen takes a mental note. His silver eyes followed that handsome Japanese asshole, who vanishes into the forest south of the south building.

'He's going to practice. 'Allen thinks to himself. Over the past 4 days at Black Order Academy, Allen took many notes on the royal pain in the arse.

He eats soba everyday for lunch.

He's captain of the Kendo club.

He never smiles

He always carries a Japanese sword by the name of Mugen.(Apparently he authorized to carry such a weapon)

He favorite phrase is "tch"

His best friend is Lavi Bookman

He's single

Long gorgeous hair

Tight smexy arse

Abs that would make even the rock jealous

And a personality as friendly as a hungry wolf.

The list goes on but those are some of the basics. Allen knows all too well where Kanda's headed to. It was the same everyday at break.

'Screw the library.' Allen headed toward the exit of the north building, his mind already made up on spending the rest of his free period relaxing on the dirt floor of the south forest.

Opening up his French textbook, Allen made himself comfortable on the soft grass not so far away from the dirt path back to the main grounds. After finding the homework assignment Allen completed the exercise with ease. Too simple, Allen nodded off into a deep snooze.

Kanda Yuu liked his free period most no matter how annoyed his face looks. It was the only time in his day that he had alone time away from the loud restless teens. Already changed into his kendogi he closed his eyes and began practicing his rhythmic swings with his Mugen.

After about twenty minutes of practice he spent the next ten mediating, concentrating his thoughts on only his breathing in time with in heart beat.

Five minutes left before the bell rings for the next period. Kanda changed back into his black jeans and white collared shirt. He walked back down the dirt trail dojo, through south forest, toward the main building.

A silver shine caught hold of dark sapphire eyes. Kanda's attention was drawn to a dozing 15 year old not far from the road. Looking at the small boy Kanda raised an eyebrow. The small pale frame against the lush green grass reminded him of the Moyashi he ate with his soba. 'Two minutes left till the bell rings.' Kanda bent down and picked a small rock.

Allen jolted to conscientiousness as sharp pain ebbed at the top of his head. He looked around instinctively searching for a trouble making cat. Nope no cat, Just Kanda Yuu looking down at him from a far.

The confused Moyashi looked back at him. He released a sigh knowing he would have to explain to the disoriented freshman.

"Oi, Moyashi. You're going to be late."

Blinking, it took Allen a couple of seconds to register that he was the Moyashi who was going to be late for class.

"My name is Allen." Allen said putting away his things. Kanda scoffed and continued down the trail. Allen soon caught up to the long slender legged individual.

"Thanks for waking me." Allen smiled politely.

"tch. Whatever" Kanda replied not looking at the small being.

"You know normal people say 'you're welcome' after being thanked. It's common courtesy." Allen stated dropping the wasted smile.

"Shut it Moyashi."

"Well your cheeky one. My name is Allen if you didn't hear me the first time. What is a Moyashi anyway?!"

"Bean sprout"

"In what way do I resemble a bean sprout?!" Allen was outraged by the comparison.

There was a pause as Kanda glances down at him. Getting the clue almost immediately Allen's face turns red.

"I am not that short!" Allen sputtered.

"Uresei! You're noisy!" Kanda held on to his last thread of patience.

"Well you're a blooming git!"

"Would you shut the fuck up already?!"

"If it makes you happy… no!"

"Go to hell!"

"Not For you! Yuu!"

"Don't Call me by my first name!"

"Why not? Yuuuu!" Allen stressed the last syllables. Something snapped. A random squirrel has just broken a twig.

"That it I'm going to kill you, fucking Moyashi." Kanda welded his Mugen as Allen dropped his bag and got into his combat stance.

The bell rang ending seventh period."

XXxxXX

"Allen-ni! Konbanwa!" Rayne bounded over to her brother at the front gates. Rayne was taking Japanese as a foreign language. So practicing small phrases on her brother had become a normal occurrence. However Allen was too busy glaring daggers at the passing royal pain to notice his bouncing look alike.

He felt it deep within in his heart as he watched him walk away with a bouncing bunny on his shoulder. "I hate him." Allen voiced aloud. "Uhm. Who's he?!" Rayne looks around animatedly in search of the 'he'. "No, don't bother about it." Allen turned to his sister as she pointed at the last arriving party member. With an hour before work the look alike not twins along with Lenalee made their way to The Vine Times.

"Baka Usagi! Get off of me!" Kanda barked at the retreating carrot top. (Well more like a straw berry top since his hair is red and he sports a green head band that – Never mind.) Kanda followed the overly cheerful friend of his into the book Shop. The name, funny you should ask is in fact it's named Bookman's House. The name coming from the fact that this is in fact Bookman's home and he happen to sell books on the main floor.

"Panda-ji!" Lavi called out devastating the soundless room. The shelf to their right shushed him as a small old man landed on the disciples head. "Foolishness again Lavi? Why do you insist on wrecking the tranquility of this shop with you larynx?" Bookman hissed at his idiotic grandson.

"Awe, but Panda that's why ya lo-" Lavi was cut off by a fast flying slipper that connected with his face. After watching his grandson fall backward Bookman turned to the silent smirking youth. "Ah Kanda you're here for that book right?" Bookman walked away already knowing the answer to his hypothetical question. Kanda followed wordlessly down the aisle.

The Vine Time was a very eccentric café. The Building itself looked like a Grandfather clock captive in a nest of vines. Once you've stepped onto the threshold one would believe they had entered a dimension ruled by ancient clock Kings and by their side their vine Queens. If it weren't for the round wood tables and the various selections of cakes on display at the counter, many people would turn tail and walk away.

This was the only place in town where any could find the finest baker and a comical waitress and Manager.

At the moment Allen, Lenalee and Rayne were kicking their heels in pleasure.

"This is definitely the best chocolate cream pie have tasted." Lenalee said tearfully.

"Uhm, dddid anyone ooorder tea!"Miranda the waitress came out with a tray of tea cups and a teapot. The three paused as the nervous women approached them.

"..3."

".2."

".1"

Miranda tripped over the devilish air propelling everything into the air. Rayne went to the cups and plates. "Lenalee snatched the hot teapot form the air immediately setting it down on the table and Allen caught the falling women silver tray. The spoons not to worry, they clattered to the floor avoid breakable items.

"Are you okay Miranda?" Allen asked with much concern. No matter how many times he had witnessed this affair he continuously alarmed by the continuity of it.

"OO Oh My Goodness! PLEASE FORGIVE ME. I AM SO SO SORRY. PLEASE FOR GIVE ME!" The sound of the panicking and sobbing waitress brought out the manager who immediately sent her to the back to calm down. "My deepest apologies." Krory bowed apologetically to the teens. Don't worry about it." Lenalee said reassuringly their close friend. With the many accidents that occurred regularly in their daily visit to the café the four of them had come to share a deep bond. "Yeah Krory, we're already used to it by now." Rayne's positive remark damped the grey rain cloud above the older man's head.

Kanda now with newly obtained book journeyed down exorcist lane toward home. As he passed The Vine Times he glanced a sliver of silver through the green stained glass. 'Naw It couldn't be' Kanda continued his walk home.

Allen turned his head just in time to see a long black tresses float out of sight. "No. there is no way. It's him." Allen thought silently to himself as he took another sip of his tea. Just the thought of that man initiated a burn within his heart.

BRP:" Yet another chapter. I think I am getting better at this thought to paper thing."

Lenalee: "When will we get to the good stuff?"

BRP: "In time younger grasshopper. In time."

Lenalee: "Wasn't that from Shoalin Showdown?"

BRP: "It's been so long I've seen that show."

Lenalee: "I think you should go to bed now."

BRP: "Yeah I think I should. Last miniute message to anyone who reads this. Please Pleas review. I feel so empty inside."

Lenalee: "Isn't that because its 4 in the morning and your tired."

BRP: sign 'fell asleep at keyboard."

Lenalee: *Sigh* "guess I won't get my yaoi any time soon. If anyone out there can hear me please write a review for this poor soul to motivate to keep going."
