4th Night: From Home to Battle
Kanda leaned against the wall of the training area waiting for Komui and Allen to return. He watched as the other exorcists trained for battles ahead but probably only half would return from those battles. Sighing he looked around, wasn't Komui only going to take a look at Allen's throat? It shouldn't be taking this long. He stood up straight and stretched a bit he was getting restless.
"Damn it Komui what's taking so long…"
A soft note ringed though the air is was pure and calm, it wasn't overly loud but it still reached Kanda's ears he looked around and spotted white hair. His eyes widen, walking towards him with Komui trailing behind was Allen. He had different clothes on from when he went to see Hebraska . He had a clean long sleeved white cotton shirt on the cuffs were undone and went past his wrist covering up half of his hand , his pants were black and went past his ankles he also wore black shoes. The small golem Timcampi rested on his head but that's not what Kanda was surprised about. It was a small deep red bow like a color of dark rose, it had two black lines running parallel to each other from end to end which was tied into a bow and at the center of it was a small golden bell which gave off a soft note every once and awhile. The bow was tied between the clothe of the shirt and hung loosely for clean bandages still occupied his throat.
"Komui…" Kanda said darkly glaring at the older man who just smiled and ignored the venom in his voice.
"See Kanda isn't Allen cute? And now" the bell ringed at Komui tapped it "You'll be able to tell wherever Allen is if you two get separated!"
Kanda really began to wander how such a nuisance like Komui ever became the head officer of the science department. Not to mention the higher ups let a crazed caffeine driven man near machinery. Sighing he really wanted to get away from the man.
"Can we please just get on with finding Allen something…"he said rubbing his temples getting ready for the headache that was bound to happen if Komui stayed around.
"Right right well we should start with something small and easy for him to use…umm, what do we have?" Komui asked completely clueless, he was a scientist basically the only thing he had that would be weapons would be his medical drills. He was snapped out of his thinking when he saw Kanda hand Allen a small pouch full of throwing daggers. "Kanda what are you doing?! He's going to hurt himself with…"
In a flash something happened for Komui felt something at his back, Kanda was in front of him looking around and the small ting of a bell was heard. Komui looked over his shoulder to see Allen holding the point of a throwing dagger to his back, it was odd that the dagger seemed to flicker with white flames but the flames seemed to be more like a white smoke then real flames. What scared Komui was Allen's eyes they were cold and clouded like the smoke flames that encircled the dagger.
"Allen?" Komui said cautiously and nervously, nothing happened immediately but Allen's eyes unclouded and the smoke disappeared he shook his head and looked at Komui confused.
"Well…that was interesting." Komui said as Allen was finally normal and put the dagger behind his back embarrassed and confused on what he just did. "Fast also,"
"There that's done and over, we found Allen an easy weapon and it seems to work fine with his innocence. Now don't you have paperwork Komui" Kanda said a bit lazily for someone like him.
"Fine, I'll see you around Allen…Try to keep Panda over there under control alright" Komui said petting Allen on the head lightly and walking off.
'what happened?' Allen said tracing the words.
"You got your weapon Allen, so now you'll be able to defend yourself in the future." Kanda said in his usual monotone voice and walked off the opposite direction of Komui. Allen looked back from were Komui left to were Kanda left. Not knowing what to do he headed off in the direction of the library, ignoring the pain in his chest and throat.
Night was coming, the day had ended too quickly but without any further mishaps except for losing Allen. Why didn't the kid follow him surely he wasn't dragged away by someone but there were probably a few people who would do it like Lavi or Linali or Jerry. Sighing he continued to wander the corridors in search for the kitten. The sound of his name being called made him turn around to see who was calling him.
"Damn it Kanda there your are!" River said running up to him. Once he caught up he placed his hands on his knees to catch his breath. "Komui needs to see you,"
"Why, Im a bit busy looking for something…" Kanda said but River shook his head.
"No, now from what I know it's a mission I'll look for Allen if that makes you feel better" River had a smile on his face when he stood upright again, Kanda grumbled and headed to Komui's office.
Opening the door Kanda was met with the usual sight of scattered papers and Komui not working at all to get any of it done. Not too happy from being sent here when he was already on a 'mission' he snapped angrily at the man.
"Where the hell are you sending me now Komui."
"Now, now Kanda don't start to get angry with me the higher ups just want you to head to Russia, an innocence should be somewhere in Siberia in a town on the coast and north of China. This shouldn't be to hard and you should be back to take care of Allen but otherwise I'm sure he'll be fine without for awhile, it'll give him time to explore."
"Time for him to get lost, I've been looking for him before you called me here."
"Oh well I'm sure he…"
The door busted open and speak of the devil there was River with an unconscious Allen. Now that was irony.
"H-head officer…" River's voice was shaking and on top of that he was breathing harshly it seemed like he ran all the way from on side of headquarters to the other/
"River what…"
"I don't know what's wrong with him!"
"Take him to the other room I'll have a look at him there rush here if something else happens."
River did as he was told and went to the other room next door Allen still in his arms. Kanda who had stood when he saw Allen now stared at the empty doorway.
"Kanda…"
The exorcist turned to face the head officer.
"Your to leave in a couple hours, go and get ready I'll let you know how he's doing when you come back to get the reports." The older man went off to check on Allen, his goofy self gone. Kanda couldn't…or didn't have time to argue so he went off to get ready for his mission.
It only took him a few moments to get ready so now he just waited sitting on his bed as he looked at the ceiling for a bit before turning his attention to a hidden hourglass then to the empty futon in the corner. Why was he warming up to this boy so quickly? It didn't make sense it took him forever for him to get used to Lavi, was it because the boy was quiet? Maybe, but what will happen when Allen get's his voice back what would he do then? His thoughts about this consumed his mind until a something rapped at his door. He went over to the door and opened it. Komui stood there a small smile, but something bad hung in the air.
"Allen is okay, but it seems like the boy has something wrong with his trachea, it most likely maybe the affection acting to the medicine trying to fend it off or something close to it. I'm not overly sure so I'm going to do a few tests and keep a close eye on him, he'll get rest and he'll continue to take the medicine unless more attacks accrue so no worries on your end just get the innocence and come back."
Komui held out the reports which Kanda took. He picked up his suitcase and headed off.
"I'll come back, you better keep Moyashi alive till then, and don't traumatize him, I think he got that enough from General Cross."
"Oh I wouldn't think of it Kanda, just go have fun don't get killed and no killing civilians!"
Komui yelled after him only getting a small wave in return. Which made him smile a bit more.
"It seems like the ice is melting…" Komui muttered as he headed back to check on Allen again. But he was in for a big surprise when he reached the room.
Kanda's footsteps echoed in the underwater way, Toma who was to accompany him on the mission was already waiting and a bit uneasy like if he was hiding something.
"Shall we head out" Kanda asked in his usual way Toma nodded both of them got into the boat and after the started to head out into the fading sunlight that is when Kanda noticed something. A blanket underneath the boat bench in front of him something…white was sticking out from underneath it. Glaring at the white he quickly removed the blanket revealing a very pale, tired kitten.
"Allen…" Kanda growled angrily wasn't the boy suppose to be with Komui and River right now why the hell was he in the boat!? "What are you doing here!"
Allen quickly wrote something down on a small notebook that he seemed to have acquire though his exploring of headquarters.
I-I'm sorry! When I was wandering around I went past Mr. Komui's office and over heard him saying to someone else that you were going away! I'm still not used to everyone a-and…I didn't want to be alone again…I was going to tell you that you were heading out but then something happened I don't know what happened after that, but I woke up in a medical room! I heard you and Mr. Komui talking…and when I headed off to catch up with you after Mr. Komui had a look at my throat again I ran into Lavi, so when I told him everything he told me were to go and got me this blanket…
"So you decided to be a stow-away…we have to take you back…you don't have your medicine with you and your too young to go on this mission."
Allen looked at him and pulled out a bottle showing Kanda that he wasn't stupid he did think of what he was doing and grabbed it from the nightstand. Next he kicked Kanda in the shin HARD making the exorcist curse aloud.
"we're going to Siberia it's going to be cold and you don't have a coat, but I say your still to young!"
Allen pulled out a bag from under the bench he was now sitting on opened it and pulled out a coat and a scarf along with a hat that was black and was designed to look like big floppy cat ears, Allen wrote down on the notebook again.
Lavi and Linali helped me get ready to follow you, Linali made the hat for me she said she's been working on it since we got back and she was happy she made it in time before you left she also gave me the bag. Lavi game me the jacket and the scarf. The told me that I have to keep an eye on you for you'd probably do something stupid and I am NOT to young to follow you, I'm faster and more alert then you are this infection isn't going to stop me. It hasn't stopped me from communicated now has it, and with all the time that you've been yelling at me we've past the point of no return we can't turn back now.
Kanda read the note again then glared at Allen, the boy was smarter then he let on and not to mention Lavi and Linali had helped him to get to this point. Kanda growled they were going to pay, and Allen was going to learn to not take him so likely. Even if the kid was cute he shouldn't have came and he is going to regret coming.
Back at headquarters a very loud yell shook the foundation as Komui walked into the room were Allen was suppose to be resting.
"He's gone!?! No…Kanda is going to kill me!!"
In the cafeteria Lavi and Linali began to wander when to tell Komui that they had a hand in Allen's disappearance and that Allen was with Kanda. They shook their heads thinking better of it…they'll tell Komui after he's forgotten this incident that is if both of them survived Kanda's wrath when he returned.
Kurai: XD Allen snuck off to follow Kanda , sneaky little thing isnt he? Oh Kanda's bad feeling from the last chapter well that's the thing with the bow and bell...and with Allen collapsing (that's going to be explained later) but yeah, Oh I cannot wait to write the next chapter...I just need to figure out how to start it up...but in the next chapter someone is going to make an apperiance to take Allen! -le gasp-
Jen: That's not fair! Now we have to wait for you do finish the next chapter to see who wants to katnap Allen?!
Kurai: Jen that was horrible, and yes you'll have to wait but not for long for next week monday off and half days. hell ya! So until next time! (Just got an idea how to start the chapter...well sort of but hey! it'll work hopefully..) right bye everyone until we meet again!
