The sun shone brightly on the little campsite as the exorcists woke up one by one. Alan sat up as the smell of bacon and eggs reached his nostrils. "Oh…" he moaned. "That smells so nice." His stomach growled angrily at him since he had been forced to go to bed without any food. "Please stop patronizing me, stomach. I promise that we'll get some good grub this morning. It smells like someone's already been cooking away this…" His mouth fell open in shock as he realized that it was Komui who was producing the wonderfully aromatic food. "K-k-komui? I didn't know you could cook!"

"OH, goooooooood morning my dearest Allan!" Allan jumped back in surprise.

"W-why are you talking like that?"

"Like what?" He replied. Allen shook his head.

"Never mind, maybe you're just in one of you're weird moods. Have you seen Reever?"

"Reever?"

"Good morning darling!" Allen turned around to see Reever walking towards Komui and embracing him in a good-morning hug.

"WHAT-THE-WHAT?" He ran to Krory's tent. "Krory wake up! I need help! Reever and Komui have gone completely mad!" Krory came out of his tent immediately.

"What are you talking about?" He looked at the place where Allen's finger was pointing. Reever and Komui were gazing lovingly into each other's eyes and giggling.

"I think I'm going to vomit!" He screamed.

"Hold it in. I need you right now, man!" Allen broke into a sweat. "What should we do?"

"Are you okay, Allen? I heard you shouting." Allen turned and met Miranda's worried glance. Krory turned bright red at the sight of her and burst into tears. Miranda reached for him but he quickly ran off into the forest. "What? What's wrong with Krory?"

"Did someone just say Krory?" Lavi joined Allen and Miranda.

"Yeah, I came over here for some help, but he saw Miranda and took off running." Allen explained. "I don't know what the heck is going on today, but everyone is all messed up!" Lavi did not seem to be listening, though. Instead, he was glaring ferociously at Miranda with his one eye. A tear suddenly burst forth from it.

"I can't believe you made him cry! You bully! Have some heart!" He took off running into the woods in the same direction as Krory. "Krorykins? Where are you? Let me help you! You don't have to go through this alone! Krorykins!"

Allen and Miranda stood dumbfounded as they watched Lavi run into the forest. "What is all of this about?" Asked Miranda. Allen scratched his temple.

"I have no idea. I woke up this morning and I saw that!" He pointed towards the cuddling Komui and Reever. Miranda perked up at the sight.

"Allen… have you ever noticed how handsome Reever is?" Allen stared at her.

"Please don't tell me you're crazy, too?" She ignored him and stood up. "Miranda?" She straightened up her hair and unbuttoned her jacket a little bit. Allen gasped. "What are you doing?"

"I'm going to go tell him how I feel about him." She set off towards Reever. Allen gasped as she threw Komui off of his lap and sat down where he had been sitting.

"This is completely out of your character!" He screamed at her.

"Allen?" It was Linalee. A very strange feeling suddenly overtook Allen. He could not stop himself as his chest puffed out and he assumed a heroic stance. "Allen, are you okay? I heard you screaming."

"My lady." He said. "Your presence before me has made me feel better. It is true that I was frightened by the strange goings on in this campsite, but your beauty has given me a new confidence."

"Allen, I don't know what you're talking about. Where is everyone else?" Allen looked around, but everyone was gone.

"Perhaps they have gone into the forest to work out these strange happenings. Don't worry, though," he pulled Linalee into his arms, "I will protect you." Linalee struggled against his hold. "There's no need to fight it my princess, my love for you gives me god-like strength. I will never let you go."

"Allen! You're acting so strange! Let go of me this instant!" But Allen only held her tighter.

"Never." He whispered, but before he knew what was happening, Linalee was ripped from his grasp. "What?"

"Allen, what were you doing?" Kanda asked as he held Allen in an embrace. "Why were you doing that to Linalee? Why were you doing that to me?" A sob escaped his lips. "I'm in love with you Allen…"

Deep in the woods, Lavi finally found Krory crying against a tree. "Krorykins? Are you alright?"

"I don't know." Replied Krory. "I was not prepared for that kind of beauty."

"Oh, Krorykins…" Lavi cooed as he rubbed the vampire's back.

"I just, I just… Have you ever had that kind of a feeling? The kind of feeling where your heart is trying to rip itself out of your chest and give itself to someone else? It hurts so bad, Lavi!" He began to cry again. Lavi rocked him back and forth.

"I know that feeling Krorykins. I do. I have that feeling every time I see you." Krory gasped. Lavi blushed. "Those are my true feelings, you silly vampire." He looked at the ground and smiled. "My heart beats fast every time I see you. Every minute I get to be near you is a blessing to me. I hope that someday you can return my affections…" Lavi looked up, but Krory was gone. "Krorykins? Krorykins! Don't leave me!"
