A/N: So third chapter (Yay!), it's a little longer than the others (Yes they will be getting longer and longer, but that's not my fault, I blame the story). As promised there is more Kanda, although Allen's part has pretty much stayed the same length. Thanks again for the reviews they've really helped me feel like this isn't a total waste of time (not that I would do much else with my time).

Anyways thanks for reading, hope you enjoy this chapter, by the way there is some almost violence (you'll see). Please remember to review.

Chapter 3 Commuting Takes Some Thought

After Kanda parted ways with Allen and walked into French he gave a huge mental sigh. He was finally free of the sprout, if only for the hour. Honestly that hour couldn't last long enough for Kanda. He was just getting so worn down by the annoying Moyashi, not physically, but mentally. That kid messed with his thought process, and all Kanda was able to think about was him.

The defiantly posed as a problem, mainly because Kanda hated attachment of any kind. His past had taught him to never grow attached to anything, or anyone, mainly because anyone he grew close to usually ended up dead. Which is why having feelings for the sprout at all, whether just in friendship, or something more, was out of the question. He didn't want anyone else getting hurt because of him.

After twenty minutes of thinking on the topic of Allen, Kanda finally decided it was best for everyone if he ignored his feelings, meaning he would treat the sprout with the same distain and anger he showed everyone else. He realized that doing this was not a permanent fix, but for the time being it would have to do.

With this knowledge Kanda felt better somehow, he was now back in control of his life, which had been thrown off by the introduction of one white haired beansprout. No longer plagued by unwanted thoughts of Allen, Kanda was able to actually pay attention in his French class, not that he needed to, he was top of the class after all. Due to that fact he list his mind wander a bit while looking out the window.

Knowing he wasn't going to pursue his feelings Kanda allowed his thoughts to wander to the topic of Allen, the kid was actually really adorable. Despite the fact that he was really annoying, Allen seemed to have some kind of aura around him that reflected happiness and peace, but of some reason Kanda had a nagging feeling that the kid was hiding something. That feeling wouldn't go away and after a while Kanda began to wonder the origins of Allen's strange scar.

How did someone happen upon a scar like that? The scar itself wasn't that bad, it wand the pentagram part above it that was really interesting. One didn't usually see a scar in the shape of a perfect pentagram occur in a normal type of accident. Then there were the gloves, the kid had gloves on even though it was only October and he didn't seem to ever take them off, which added to the puzzle. Kanda thought over all of this while half paying attention to a French lesson about restaurant etiquette.

Despite his strange faults Kanda couldn't help but find Allen annoyingly amusing. The white haired teen was a puzzle and Kanda was determined to solve it, no matter what the cost. This wasn't getting emotionally attached, Kanda reasoned, it was just looking into something that was puzzling him. This is why he didn't want to think about Allen, it made him even more confused than before, which made him angrier as well.

The bell rang, abruptly cutting into Kanda' thoughts. He strolled out of his class and walked over to Allen's, only to have the sprout run into him on his way out the door. After growling at Allen to watch where he was going, Lavi appeared beside them.

"Yo, what's up Yuu?" Lavi asked, trying to piss Kanda off with his use of the teen's first name. He succeeded, and was happy to notice the vein popping from Kanda's forehead.

"I told you not to call me that, EVER," Kanda growled at the red haired teen. He was getting really pissed off, very quickly, and Lavi honestly knew better then to provoke him, but he did so anyway.

"Oh I'm so scared of Yuu," Lavi mocked further pissing Kanda off. It was at that point that Kanda exploded. He grabbed Lavi by the collar and shoved him into the nearest bank of lockers. Raising his fist he was about to hit the annoying red head square in the jaw, until he felt a pressure on this arm. Who the heck was trying to stop him? The question was wasted, because Kanda already knew who it was, no one who had seen Kanda's outbursts would dare try and stop him, not even the teachers. Therefore, it was the only person in the school who had yet to see one of his enraged attacks, Allen.

Kanda looked over his shoulder, at the hand, and then at its owner, "What are you doing Moyashi? Trying to stop me?" he mocked Allen, letting all his anger, confusion, and hate seep into the words.

"Put him down," Allen's voice was eerily calm, ice sliding into it, making Kanda internally shudder. The sprout didn't even raise his voice, only calmly asked for Kanda to stop. The pressure on his arm increased ever so slightly, and just from that Kanda could tell that the sprout was a lot stronger then he looked. Not really wanting to get into a fight with the new kid, Kanda but Lavi back down on the floor, and waited for Allen to take his hand off. Allen reacted slowly, almost as if he was surprised by his forcefulness, but he eventually lessened his grip on the young samurai's arm, and then Allen let his arm fall to his side.

Allen said something about how they all had lunch next hour and that they should all get a move on. Lavi perked up and agreed, almost as if Kanda hadn't almost pounded the daylights out of him. Kanda was dumbfounded, how could someone so small contain so much pent up power, and the look in Allen's eye as he stopped the long haired teen's attack on Lavi. The white haired ten looked scary, he had a glint in his eye that said he didn't want to be messed with.

"Whatever, come on I'll show you the way," Kanda mumbled to Allen as he headed off in the direction of the cafeteria. Allen followed behind, talking to Lavi about something that had happened in their Spanish class. Kanda thought back to what he knew about the white haired new student, which wasn't much. Kanda didn't even know where the kid went to school before coming to torment him, which was saying something. Kanda made up his mind to find out as soon as possible.

"Earth to Kanda, anyone home?" Lavi asked, waving a hand in Kanda's face. The Japanese teen realized he'd been stuck in his thought, and had obviously missed a question or at least part of the conversation.

"What?" Kanda growled out. He may not have beat the red haired teen to a pulp, but that didn't mean that Kanda wasn't still mad.

"Calm down, gosh your always so tense. I was just telling Allen about the cafeteria and out amazing cook Jerry," Lavi answered quickly, trying to avoid another outburst no doubt.

"What about him? He makes really good Soba, and that's all I care about," Kanda had a thing for Soba noodles, he really wouldn't eat anything else.

"Well I was telling Allen about how Jerry can make almost anything you could want, he really is an amazing cook," Lavi was lost for a moment, thinking about food, he was very hungry.

"Um, Lavi you started to drool," Allen pointed out, "Let's get the cafeteria quick, I'm starving."

"Me too," Lavi said patting his stomach.

"These two are complete idiots," Kanda thought to himself, "Why do they insist on hanging around me?" Kanda was sulking because he hadn't gotten to punch Lavi, or get any of his anger out really, which meant that his feelings were being bottled, which in turn would mean an eventual huge explosion. Kanda was also sulking because it seemed that Allen and Lavi were getting along really well, which bothered him because he was supposed to be the sprouts guide, not the annoying red head.

Kanda stopped his thoughts dead in their tracks, he would not think like that, Allen wasn't his, and therefor he had no right to think like that. Besides if Allen was making friends with Lavi he wouldn't be hanging around Kanda as much, which was defiantly for the better. Even after rationalizing his thoughts, Kanda couldn't help but feel a little jealous of Lavi and his easy ability to be friends with Allen. Whatever he'd get over it soon enough.

He was snapped out of his thoughts by someone laughing loudly in the hall. The sound grated on his nerves, he'd never liked laughter it had always sounded so stupid. He searched for the source of the sound and wasn't very surprised to find that Allen was the one who had laughed. From what Kanda could see one of them had told a joke that Allen had found incredibly funny. Kanda practically growled in annoyance, which Allen picked up on.

"What's wrong Kanda?" Allen asked his blue haired companion.

Kanda was getting sick of the sprout asking him questions, even simple ones. It just led to more confusion within the Japanese teen, and he hated confusion with a passion.

"Nothing, I'm just really hungry, let's get a move on," It's wasn't a total lie, Kanda was practically starving, he hadn't eaten much for breakfast.

"Looks like we're here," Lavi interrupted their exchange to point out the cafeteria to Allen. With that lunch began.

OoOoOoOo-oOoOoOoO

As Allen walked into the hallway behind Lavi his thoughts were not on whatever the red head was talking about, they were wandering again onto the topic of Kanda. So when he ran into someone he wasn't all that surprised, he really hadn't been paying attention to anything, let alone where he was walking.

"Watch were you're going Moyashi," a familiar deep voice came from above him. Allen's head snapped up, he'd run into Kanda, the exact person he had been thinking about. He started to blush almost uncontrollably, and raised a hand to cover it up when Kanda seemed to explode in anger.

Allen had no clue what had happened, all he knew was that Kanda had Lavi pushed up against the lockers, winding up to hit the red head in the face. He reacted on instinct, far faster than if he'd thought it all out. Allen grabbed the older teens arm just before he hit Lavi straight in the jaw. The look Kanda gave him could have frozen fire there was so much ice in his eyes. Despite the ice in his eyes, Kanda's voice was heated and tense as he mocked Allen's seeming lack of strength. Allen knew he didn't look like much, but he'd had enough practice at his other schools to know how to handle this without relying on strength. He returned Kanda's gaze adding more ice to his voice as he told the older teen to put his new friend down.

The young samurai looked dumbfounded, apparently no one had ever had the guts to stand up to the kid before. "Well let him deal with that," Allen made a mental smirk as the blue haired teen put the one he was about to punch down. The older teen looked from Allen to the arm restraining him, clearly indicating that he could now be let go.

Allen found himself holding on to the other teens arm a little longer, feeling the coils of muscle beneath fabric and skin. He slowly let go, trying not to grin sheepishly at his thoughts, he didn't want to clue the other teen into his minds wanderings.

"We really should be getting to lunch, we all have it next right?" Allen said to cover up his mental slip. Kanda's reply was just what the white haired teen expected, brief and laced with its usual amount of hate. For some reason Allen's legs nearly turned to jelly just listening to Kanda's deep voice. Allen shook off the strange feeling and tried to act like nothing was wrong.

Seeing that Kanda was slipping into his own thoughts, Allen started up a conversation with Lavi to pass the time.

"So what exactly was that lesson about in Spanish?" Allen asked, he really had no idea what was going on in the class, even with Lavi's interjections during the lesson.

"She was talking about an upcoming project. We have to use the traveling words we just learned to create a travel itinerary. We have to choose a Spanish speaking country and visit some of the special land marks of the country we're visiting Finally we have to create a slideshow of our trip to show the class, using pictures off the internet," Lavi said it as though it was nothing. Allen was staring open mouthed at his new red head friend. No way would a teacher assign that much work for a low level Spanish class, it was just too much to do.

"Hey are you okay Allen?" Lavi asked taking in Allen's surprised expression.

"I'm just fine," Allen snapped out of his shocked state, "You may have to help with that project though, I'm not very good at Spanish."

"So I could tell, I basically had to act as your translator today. Don't worry it's a pretty easy language you'll pick it up in no time," Lavi tried to reassure his white haired friend. It was at that moment that Allen's stomach began to growl uncontrollably, loud enough for Lavi to hear over the din in the hallway.

"Sorry I'm just really hungry," Allen explained, "I really hope the cafeteria food is good here, my old school had the most disgusting food ever." Allen wrinkled his nose at the thought, remembering all the nasty food he'd had to consume over the years.

"Don't worry, our school had one of the best cooks ever. His name is Jerry, and he'll cook up anything, and I do mean anything you could want. Right Kanda?" Lavi turned to the other teen expecting a grumbled answer. When he didn't get one he asked again, but the long haired teen was so absorbed in his own thoughts he didn't hear. Lavi waved a hand in front of the other teen face, finally getting his attention. Allen really didn't pay much attention to the conversation that followed, all he seemed to be able to focus on was Kanda's masculine voice.

Allen was pulled from his thoughts when Kanda stopped speaking. His eyes were drawn to Lavi's face, which had a blissful expression on it, but his eyes strayed to the drool that was slowly creeping down the red head's face. After informing the other teen of his drooling problem, they both started talking about food.

"So what's your favorite type of food?" Lavi asked his white haired companion.

"Do I have to pick just one?" Allen whined, "I like so many different kinds of food, mac and cheese, hamburgers, toast, fish sticks, chicken fingers, oh and I couldn't forget the pickled pigs feet." Allen finished his list eyeing Lavi to see his reaction. It took a few seconds for it to sink in, but when it did the red head gave the most disgusted look in human history.

"Pickled pigs feet? That's gross!" Lavi exclaimed while Allen started to laugh his head off.

"You…. didn't think…. I was….. serious, did you?" Allen said between peals of laughter.

"Really? That was a really cruel joke Allen, I may just have to start calling you Moyashi like Kanda," Lavi started chuckling over the joke as well, but stopped when he saw the seething anger in Kanda's eyes.

There was that word again, why did it seem everyone knew what it meant but Allen? He pushed the thought out of his head when he saw Kanda's face and Lavi's reaction. He could tell something was wrong with his new friends, if you could call them that. Kanda looked like he was ready to explode, and yet he somehow managed to keep his anger in check. Lavi looked like he was waiting for a volcano to erupt, with a kind of scared fascination.

"What's wrong Kanda?" Allen asked, for some reason he was worried about the other teen.

"Nothing, I'm just really hungry, let's get a move on," was the only response he got. Allen knew it was a lie, something was bugging his blue haired friends, he wasn't going to push it, Allen didn't want Kanda exploding in the middle of the hallway. Allen was going to say something funny to thy and lighten the mood, but was interrupted by Lavi's proclamation that they'd made it to the cafeteria at last.

With that the group of three walked into the crowded lunch room.

So what did you guys think? Please review, it would make me feel good to know what you all think.

So next chapter things start to heat up a bit, not too much but a bit, I honestly can't wait to finish the chapter so you all can read.
