Kanda: Che, I think you're just lazy.
Deadly Fangs: *frowns* Two words Kanda...Pink. Dress.
Kanda: ...
Deadly Fangs: Enjoy this short chapter.
The room was slightly cold during that time of night, as was most of the other rooms. One person in the room was use to the cold temperature and was currently watching the other person sleep curled up tightly on the small cot the Order had somehow found in one of the many storage rooms. Daisya hadn't woken up since he suddenly passed out after hearing the bell ring and get a headache of sort, which, as much as Kanda hated to admit, concerned him greatly.
Frowning slightly when he saw his friend shiver and curl up even tighter under the blankets, Kanda looked around his small room to check if the finders had brought up anymore blankets. Sighing when he saw that the only blanket left was his own, he got up off his bed and stripped it of its thick comforter before walking quietly over to where his charge was resting and covering him with it, making sure that it was tucked in snuggly so it wouldn't fall off during the night. It was nowhere near what Daisya was use to for warmth but he could tell right away the extra blanket was doing some good for him. His shivering had gone down a bit and he was also uncurling from the fetal position he was in every so slightly as well. He stayed there for several more long moments to make sure Daisya would be okay for the night before turning in himself.
Pulling the crisp white sheets over himself, Kanda lied down and stared up at the stone ceiling thinking. The scowl which never seemed to leave his face, save for when Daisya was around, deepen. The Noah who hurt Daisya was still out there and if he was working for the Earl...then chances were he would be coming back for Daisya. He couldn't let that happen, not a second time. Glancing over in the direction Daisya was sleeping in, he let out a heavy sigh and closed his eyes. It was too late to be thinking of that right now. If he was going to protect Daisya then he would need all the rest he could get. First thing tomorrow morning would be breakfast then straight to training.

It had been a week since Daisya had lost his memories and he had shown little to no improvement. He followed Kanda around like a lost puppy and clung to the back of his coat whenever one of the others tried to get near him. He was slowly allowing Lenalee to come close to him but it was still only when Kanda was within arms length. It was the same thing everyday. Kanda would wake up then get Daisya up as well before heading down to get some food, then head for training. Then would be lunch, more training followed by supper then meditation until it was time for bed. During training Daisya would sit and watch from the sidelines, hardly making a sound. This troubled Kanda the most, that he was so still when before he was always on the move. He needed to get him involved somehow, get him to do something from before he lost his memories.
Sighing, he paused what he was doing and decided to meditated for a bit. The Charity Bell made a soft ringing sound as its owner moved slightly to get a better view of what was going on but other than that, the room was completely silent.
'It's strange...I never thought I he would ever take his job as an exorcist seriously...I was always so sick of seeing that blasted smile on his face. Now I miss it. He never smiles, never laughs, doesn't pull pranks anymore, just looks at people with absolute fear.' Kanda thought to himself as he took deep breaths to try to clear his mind. 'Then again, I guess I would be too if I didn't know who I was and was surrounded by strangers all the time. What I would give to hear one of his old jokes again. Or see him running down the corridors with his old soccer ball or his charity bell...wait a minute...that's it!'
Opening his eyes and standing up quickly, Kanda made his way over to Daisya who stared up at him with a slightly confused look on his face.
"Come on Daisya, we're going to do something a bit different today."

Half an hour later, after a brief trip into Daisya's room for Kanda to collect what he needed, the two of them found themselves in the old courtyard. It was smaller than the newer one but that also ment it would be quieter, which was what Daisya needed the most right now.
"Kanda? What are we doing here?"
"We need to start getting your memories back Daisya. The doctor said that the best way is to do things you enjoyed before the accident." Sighing slightly when Daisya just looked even more confused Kanda reached down and handed over the item he went to get.
Daisya's old soccer ball.

And I'll leave you all hanging there. I'll see about getting another chapter up sometime soon...maybe after my fingers thaw...maybe.
Remember: Reading + Reviewing equals one happy Deadly Fangs!
