Haro guys~ I'm back again~ I know you all missed me sooo much~ XD anyways, my report card came back. I passed all my classes! Yay! And my granny got out of the hospital, not that I've said anything about that before… let me explain. She had a heart attack and went to the hospital. After they did the double-bypass, the wound got infected with what's basically just short of a flesh eating virus. Fun, right? Anyway, after a while the infection responded to the antibiotics, and it started going away. She still has a giant hole in her chest, but they're going to do a surgery to fuse her bone back together and stitch 'er up. So, all in all, she's doing way better. She's back in her apartment and taking care of herself, so that's a good sign.

Acknowledgements: A big thanks to all reviewers! You get muffins or cupcakes! And also thanks to others that are reading, if you are. I actually have no idea. :P

Happycafegirl: Yep.

Colorici74: I like to think it would be interesting. Even if Tyki is crazy… err… eccentric. *sweatdrops* Math does suck, even though I'm good at it. Lulubell is pretty amazing, if I do say so myself. Yullen? *raises eyebrow* where did you see that? I didn't intend… wait. I lie. I do intend for there to be Yullen there… just not this early. That's a separate arc entirely. You'll have to wait and see what I'm talking about~

Aika-tan: I dunno. Whatever. I watched that episode like, two years ago. I remember something about the number five… and that's it. XD

Origami Lotus: That sounds like something I'd say. XDDD

kh07gl: Thanks. I like to write a lot, so I figure if I already have it written, why not post it? *mysterious voice* You shall see~ and I actually have no idea how long it's going to be. I'm guessing… 20-30 chapters maybe? IDK. I have multiple arcs planned out though… so this might take a while. XD

Warnings: I don't think there are any for this chapter… Maybe just a very mad Moyashi-Chan? Does that count?

Notice: So far, I have four Arcs planned out. I'm roughly halfway through the first one, and I have two more. Then I have the ending Arc. Though plot bunnies seem to be springing to life all over the place… So there will probably be many more Arcs.

[These are notes from Lavi]

{These are notes from Allen}


"Yes Ms. Lulubell." Everyone says in unison. See what I mean about strict? She claps her hands and the doors open, revealing the redhead from earlier. My heart stops. He gives a toothy grin and introduces himself. "My name's Lavi Bookman Jr. and it's nice to meet'cha." Lulubell points at me. "You will be sitting next to Allen Walker."

Looks like I was right about the week being interesting.


. :Allen POV: .

"Mr. Walker, please raise your hand."

I lift my arm, not realizing it's shaking. Lenalee must have noticed though, because she touches my shoulder. Mu gaze never once leaves Lavi. He looks exactly like I remember, just older. Same unruly red hair and green headband, eye patch, one piercing green eye, tan skin, and orange scarf. He always wears that mangy thing. It's summer time, for crying out loud! He smiles at me, and then I realize how much I missed him. And how angry I am. He left me all alone! He never once called me, sent an email or even a letter!

I glare, and he shrinks back the smallest bit and his smile falters. Lulubell ushers him to the desk. When he sits down next to me, I ignore him and choose to look at the blackboard instead. He places a hand on my arm, and I hiss at him. (Apparently Moyashi-Chan is a cat now?) He cringes, but pulls his hand away. I look back at the teacher. She's naming the muscles in the back and neck. Boring. But it's a nice distraction from the sadness that seems to be radiating off of the redhead next to me.

How dare he be sad? He's the one who left me! I think. He really has no right to be sad. He left me all alone. (Okay, I have Lenalee, Kanda and Komui, but they can't help me much.) My anger is completely justified. He should have expected it. I snort, causing Lulubell to shift her gaze to me.

"Something funny, Mr. Walker?"

"Oh, not at all, Ms. Lulubell." I amend quickly. She turns back to the board and points to a muscle. "Care to name this, then?" It's faint, but I can see the corner of her lips lift up in an almost smirk. She reminds me of a cat. Like I'm her prey, and she's just toying with me.

"Oh, it's the latissimus dorsi muscle." I say. Her lips fold into a thin line.

"You are correct. Be sure to pay attention in my class." She says, perhaps a bit harshly. I nod and look at my textbook. I piece of paper is slipped onto the page. It says:

[Talk with me later?]

I scribble down a response quickly and pass it back.

{You have no right to waltz back into my life unannounced. After what you did, I shouldn't speak to you ever again.}

I feel his gaze on me, but I'm too busy finishing up the next note.

{But, you owe me an explanation, and I still have to give you that toy back. You're lucky my cat hasn't eaten it.}

When he reads it, he breathes a sigh of relief. Then he quickly writes something down.

[Could you wait for me by the school gates? I know a good café we could go to, to talk.]

{Are you asking me on a date?}

[I don't have that right.]

{Good thing you realize that. Because I would have said no.}

Out of the corner of my eye I see him give a sad smile and tuck his spiral back into his shoulder bag. I knew I'd feel guilty about this later, but right now, it felt good to hurt him a bit. I'd been suffering for the past five years. I didn't even know if he was alive or not. A Bookman's job was dangerous. Bookmen work for the government. They record data on all terrorist movements. They're like the secret service, except, you know, actually secret. The only reason I know is because the drugs they gave me to forget all that didn't work. Only Lavi knows that they didn't work on me, so he doesn't have to hide himself. Of course, he wouldn't tell me what he and Bookman worked on, for my own safety, but if he let a detail slip every now and then he wouldn't have to fumble for an excuse.

So, yes, I worry. The job that he's training for is life-threatening, after all.

The bell rings and everyone shuffles out of the room.

I guess it's time to talk with Lavi now.


Why do I always write my chapters in the early hours of the morning? I tried to write at noon, but it was crap… but now, at 12:30, it's actually good. Maybe not understandable, but good. WTF is with that? Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter! When I get three reviews I'll update. I already have the next chapter written out!
