4. The food cart.
Two days later, Kanda and Lavi sat in silence in their train compartment on the way to their next mission, when a knock came at the door. Lavi stood, but before he could reach it the door was opened by an exhausted waitress, lugging an overflowing food cart.
"The food you ordered, sirs." She gasped out before stumbling out of the room and down the corridor to continue her work.
Lavi gaped at the sheer amount of food, that neither of them had ordered, and both stood in front of the cart, working out what to do about it. However all thoughts came to a halt, when a pale arm extended from between them and snatched up a loaf of bread.
Thoroughly startled, both exorcists turned and activated their innocence, to find the white haired boy, sitting in the far corner of their compartment, wolfing down the aforementioned loaf. Both exorcists froze, unsure of how to react to the intrusion. The boy broke the silence.
"Could you please pass me two of the apples?" He had already finished the bread in record time.
"What the hell are you doing here, brat?" Kanda growled.
The boy sighed, and stood to get the fruit himself, however before he could grasp the food, he found a very shiny and very sharp sword at his neck. Sighing again, the boy turned to face 'Yuu-chan'.
"Look if you want me to talk, then I suggest you let me eat before I pass out. I have not eaten since the last time we met."
Lavi, who had been silently watching the two, now spoke.
"Erm, Kanda, maybe we should just let him eat…?" He trailed off as Kanda's glare was redirected to the red head. Gulping softly, Lavi put on a goofy smile and looked up at Kanda. A short conversation through the eye contact ensued, resulting in Kanda lowering his sword and returning to his seat.
With the sword gone, the boy reached out and pulled the cart over to his corner, and began systematically working his way through enough food to satisfy half a dozen ravenous, grown men. After gulping down a couple of glasses of water, upon completion, he licked his lips and looked up to two highly disturbed exorcists.
"How…" Lavi started, but shook his head in defeat, looking a little green, after seeing so much food disappear at an alarming rate. Kanda just looked thoroughly disgusted.
The boy sighed again. "So, where would you like me to start?" He politely questioned.
"How about with what the hell you are doing here? Hmm?" Kanda asked with sarcasm dripping from each word.
"Well, to put it simply, help you out. After all, it does not look like you two are capable of taking on a level four without dying, let alone suffering no injuries." Kanda's eyes glinted, he slowly rose from his seat, but before he could take the two steps to reach the boy, the white head's left eye morphed and changed from the unusual sorrow filled silver, to demonic red.
Kanda suppressed a shudder as the eye turns independently of the other which remained silver.
"Duck" The boy ordered Kanda calmly. Lavi jumped forwards and dragged Kanda down, taking the boy's warning seriously unlike the Japanese man. Not a second later something shattered the window and lodged itself into the door; passing straight through the space Kanda's head had been moments before.
The thing had, of course, been an akuma bullet, and even as Kanda shoved Lavi off of him and stood, more shots, and multiple screams, could be heard along the length of the train. The said transport screeched and shuddered to a sudden halt, throwing the boy out of his seat and on top of Lavi. The red head, being a lot kinder than Kanda, rose, lifting the boy with him and placing the white head onto his feet next to him. Before he turned away, the boy gave him an impish grin, raising his eyebrow at being manhandled.
Looking out of the window frame that remained, they saw two level threes and a level four.
"OK. Lavi you take out the level threes. Kanda the level four is all yours." The boy ordered, authority becoming evident in his stance. Lavi gave the boy a questioning look.
"But, weren't you going to help?"
"Yes, I will be advising, it is important that you learn to cope in situations where you are at a disadvantage. I will not be relied upon."
I have been receiving requests to make the chapters longer, however, I find that if a keep them short I can get the chapters finished and out there sooner, so I will not be making any changes at the present
sorry!
Anyways please review
