EH: Hey all! First of all, my apologies. I felt the need to just get this out. So I didn't get the chance to read through it. So I apologize for any errors. I did the normal spell-check and schtuff. So hopefully it's okay. If not, again, my apologies. Second apology, sorry for not updating. I was going to update asap this time...but life happened. Thank you all for your patience AND reviews! It really helps me push forward and continue the story. It's always nice to read reviews and make sure I can keep in mind what advice was given and what people are enjoying.
Now, I know I said it'd be later until you find out WTF is up with Kanda...but hell. It worked out decently this way. Besides, it's not over yet! Mwahahaha! Oh! And last apology! Not smutty chapter! I know, throw the tomatoes. I'm horrible. But I DO promise you a smutty chapter in the future... I know that's what I look for in fanfics while reading them. I mean, come on? Smut? Makes life better. All right! Enough rambling! On to the chapter!
Is it Sex or Only Violence
Chapter Three
Allen stared at the giant mess Kanda had left. He was still frozen in the place he'd been when Kanda fell before chucking a boot at his head. Allen wasn't sure if he was still in shock because the boot missed or if it was because Kanda had run away. A dark little voice at the back of his head said Kanda fled because Kanda didn't want to face what he'd done and that Allen was right. Allen didn't even hear Lenalee enter. He barely registered her gasp and crying of his name. It wasn't until her gentle hand settled on his shoulder that he screamed in surprise and backed away from her.
"A-Allen-kun…" Lenalee stared at Allen with a very worried expression. "It's just me."
"S-Sorry, I just…" What could he say? He thought she was Kanda come back to finish the job?
"Thought I was someone else?"
Allen cursed her intuition. He shook his head to deny her claim, but she saw through him. Her eyes narrowed at him before she grabbed his arm and dragged him into an embrace.
"Shhhh…it's okay. I'm here now, I won't let him hurt you…" She whispered while rocking him softly in her arms. Allen felt the dam break as the tears flowed again.
"H-How did you k-know?" Allen hiccupped from his upset state.
"Who else would hurt you so badly you'd fear him?" Lenalee's eyes dropped several tears, "I'm so sorry I couldn't protect you, Allen."
"I-it's not your job to protect me. I'm supposed to protect people…"
"What kind of friend am I for not helping you?" Lenalee sat back and looked Allen in the face. "What did he do to you? You're trembling."
Allen broke eye contact and stared at the floor. Why did he feel horrible for her blaming Kanda? "He just…got mad at me. And we kinda fought. That's all. It's stupid really!" Allen looked up with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.
Lenalee frowned, unconvinced. "Allen…"
"Whoa! Look at this mess, wouldn't you! Hahaha! It's a disaster! Guess that's my fault for playing around with my arm, huh?" Allen got to his feet and rushed to start cleaning up the mess. Lenalee watched, pained by Allen's fake façade. She rose to her feet and dusted her skirt.
She walked to the door and looked back, "You know where to find me. If anything, and I mean anything scares you…call on me. You're my friend, Allen. And I'll do everything I can to protect you…"
Allen stopped, hearing a small 'this time' before Lenalee's footfalls faded off into silence down the hall. He sighed and turned around looking out the door, longing to run after her and sob into her shoulder what happened. But, he couldn't betray Kanda like that… Growing frustrated with himself, he turned and threw a larger piece of wood out the door as hard as he could.
He huffed and turned back to cleaning up when a frighteningly familiar chuckle filled the silence. Allen turned slowly to find Kanda standing in the doorway with that menacing smirk on his lips. Allen took notice of the change in Kanda since earlier. He frowned and shifted his stance to the side a bit.
"K-Kanda?"
Kanda stepped through the mess and swung the useless door mostly closed before sauntering toward Allen; who instinctively backed away from the predator before him.
"W-what do you want?"
"You." Kanda paused before chuckling darkly and moving closer. "All of you."
Allen felt his world come crashing down around him. He couldn't figure out why Kanda was acting so differently. Kanda sauntered toward Allen like a feline stalking his prey. Allen backed away from Kanda into the corner of his bed. He fell backward onto the mattress and looked up at Kanda with tears gathering in his eyes. Kanda chuckled in amusement.
"Oh, you made my job so easy." Kanda drawled in a huskier tone.
Allen activated his innocence and held it in front of himself. It shook with tremors of fear. Allen's wide eyes, blurred from all the tears, watched as Kanda moved closer.
"Please don't do this…" Allen whined and held his arm up. Before even thinking it, his crowned clown cloak had been activated.
Kanda tsked and pulled Mugen from the sheath; slashing the blade down upon Allen's innocence. Allen cried out in surprise and pulled his arm back closer to him. His shoulder burst into a flare of hot pain. He attempted to scream for help when Kanda's mouth muffled the sound. Allen's eyes shut tightly as he fought with all his might to push Kanda back. He managed to push the older man away enough to draw his foot up between them. He planted his foot firmly on Kanda's chest and pushed with everything he had. There was no way in hell he would go down without a fight.
Kanda stumbled away, shocked by the sudden fight in Allen. He barely registered that the white-haired teen had managed to dash past him into the bathroom. The smaller man tried to lock the door before Kanda got to it. Allen remembered all too suddenly what Kanda had done earlier to his bedroom door. As the fear of another mess like that overwhelmed him, he froze up. Kanda, not needing to kick the door, opened it quickly. The stunned Allen took a hit from the door to the face. He fell backwards onto the floor, grabbing his nose. His already tear-filled eyes overflowed at that point with the pain. Something broke. He just knew it. Nothing hit that hard, hurt that much, or made that unique sound if it hadn't broken. Allen looked up, a new fear gripping him. What he saw shook his very core.
Kanda, standing in the doorway, looked to be in as much shock as Allen. Tears had flooded his own eyes as he had looked down at Allen. He knelt and crawled over to Allen and gently slid his hand onto Allen's own.
"I'm sorry, Allen…" Kanda didn't sound right, "I really didn't mean to hurt you. Although, you did bring it on yourself."
The tone Kanda was using was not one Allen remembered ever hearing from Kanda. No, he'd heard that tone from someone else before. Someone much more worthy to fear, but not by much. Allen pushed himself backwards, away from Kanda's body.
"Who…who are you?" He mumbled past his one hand as he pointed at Kanda.
"Exactly who you think I am!" Kanda replied in a much too cheery tone for himself. His grin was beyond a wicked one; it border lined on insane.
Allen felt everything come to a screeching hault. That grin, that wickedly insane grin was well none among the Noah clan. Especially a certain Noah obsessed with Allen.
"H-how?" Allen felt his fear peaking to a new height.
Kanda's body shrugged while the grin stayed in place. "Can't tell ALL my secrets, now can I? Alllllen?"
Allen felt cold shivers run all up and down his spine as he placed that exact drawling of his name. "Rhode…"
The abnormal giggle sounded even odder coming from Kanda's vocal chords. "Yes? Did you enjoy the fun evening? Hmmmm?"
Anger began to boil in the pit of Allen's stomach and began to race against his fear. She used the one person Allen knew he couldn't defeat to get to him. The one person he had problems with. Allen grit his teeth and shoved himself further away from her and glanced to the side, looking for a way to distract her. He found a random bar of soap he hadn't picked up from his last shower and chucked it at Kanda's face, praying Kanda would forgive him eventually. Kanda's hand flew up in a futile attempt to block it, missing the foot that followed it. Kanda's eyes widened as the heel of Allen's foot nailed him directly in the forehead and knocked him flat out backwards onto his back. Allen used the opportunity to activate his innocence and whip the sword out of his arm and swung.
Kanda, seeing it in time, moved to the side and drew Mugen, countering it. A glare met Allen from the angry Japanese male.
"Oi! Moyashi! What the hell are you doing in my bathroom! And attacking me no less?!"
Allen paused and stared at Kanda. Was it really Kanda?
Kanda snarled at Allen, "Tch! Answer me damnit! Before I slice you to shred and dangle you in front of that damned master of yours!"
Allen cried out and flung himself at Kanda, hugging the other male tightly and sobbing into Kanda's shoulder. Kanda was in a complete loss of what to do along with being utterly confused. The worst part was, he had a killer headache and didn't know why he suddenly woke up in his bathroom on the floor. Blinking, Kanda had a revelation. He woke up on the bathroom floor. This meant he'd blacked out again. But why was the moyashi there? It didn't make sense. It made even less sense that he was currently washing Kanda's shoulder with his tears. With a frustrated sigh, Kanda shoved Allen away.
"Enough. What the hell is going on? Where are we?"
"M-my bathroom!" Allen wiped at his tears with his one hand. "Y-you came back…again…"
"What do you mean?" Kanda stared at Allen blankly.
"You were here last night! Don't you rememb---" Allen stopped and stared at Kanda. Of course he wouldn't remember if Rhode had somehow figured a way to take over Kanda's mind and body. "What…what do you remember last?"
Kanda reached up and rubbed his forehead. "Shower then a blank."
Allen stared down at the floor. "So she can somehow take control of you?"
"What the hell are you talking about, moyashi?"
"It's Allen." Allen snipped back before frowning. "Rhode…she-she somehow managed to take control of your body…I think."
"…"
"What?"
"You think?"
"Yes…why?"
"You don't have any solid evidence?"
"She talked to me! Through you!"
"Baka moyashi!"
"OW! DON'T HIT ME! YOU ALREADY BROKE MY NOSE, ASSHOLE!"
"…tch."
"Don't tch me!"
Kanda glared back at Allen. "I'll 'tch' you whenever I bloody feel like it."
"Like hell you will, baKanda!"
"Want to bet, baka moyashi?"
Allen launched himself at Kanda and knocked both of them backwards. He landed on Kanda's hips, straddling him. "I've told you too many times before. And I'll tell you again, IT'S ALLEN!"
Kanda froze under Allen and stared up at the younger male. He stared at the reddened nose and reached up to touch it gingerly. Allen stared back and began to panic thinking she was back.
"She made me do that?"
"Y-yeah…with the door…"
Kanda knocked Allen off of him before rolling to the side, placing his back to Allen. "I'm sorry for that…" He got to his feet and walked to the door. "Get to the nurse and get it looked at. You're no good anyways, but you'll be even more of a pain in the ass with it broken like that."
Allen was too shocked by Kanda's kindness to be annoyed or even offended by his last statement. He watched Kanda's back as he walked out of the room and out into the hallway.
