Too long, too long, too long, too long, dammit! *shot*
"So…confess, you know who you are! Tell us why you did such a horrible, dirty and disgusting thing! The court is listening" Lavi's countenance was serious and grave.
"Oh, come on, is not like someone killed the president. And the reason why this person did it is because even nii-san and I can hear your snores in our dorm room. You are quite too noisy" explained Lenalee, smiling with confidence; she knew that everyone accorded with her.
They were gathered around a table in a private section of a restaurant, so anyone would bother the musicians while they were having dinner.
Angel felt like walking in the waters of an impossible dream. This was the first time in three days –three unbelievable and amazing days- that they went out of the bus into some public place. She would never forget the glares that so many persons darted in their direction when they stepped into the local:
It was a pretty and small restaurant in the middle of nowhere, just beside the road. For being in the outskirts of some unknown town, it was very clean and the atmosphere was warm. Many families that were travelling were eating there, and since they were in the middle of summer vacations, it was quite concurred.
Everyone almost stopped eating and stared at the group that walked through the tables. A bunch of teens, most of them girls, ran in their direction with papers, pens, cellphones and cameras. They all wanted some proof that what they were looking was entirely real.
Kanda had glared them and spitted out: "Not now" with a harsh voice. They all stopped, surprised by the fact that Kanda Yuu, Innocence's hot bassist had actually spoken to them.
Lavi and Allen just smiled apologetic, and sighs of admiration and illusion were heard all around.
"He is so cute!"
"Extremely hot"
"More sexy in person"
"And Lenalee Lee, she is really pretty"
"A very sexy and hot woman, I wonder how good she is.." Whoever was making that comment was shut up by Komui's dark aura. He walked into the young man that had been talking, just some years younger than the manager.
"What did you just said of my sister?" his voice suggested death.
"Do you have any problem, man?" the guy stood up, without releasing Komui's eyes.
The manager took the man by the collar of his shirt.
"Shut. The. Fuck. Up. And stay away of my sister" he released the poor youngster, who had turned pale down Komui's anger.
"Why don't we just get in and eat?" Lenalee spoke when his brother returned to them, trying to keep everyone calmed.
Lavi, Allen and Kanda were about to be squashed by the growing group of hormones.
Angel and Izzie were the center of many jealous and curious eyes, and none of them felt comfortable at all.
"Are you Lavi's and Allen's girlfriends?" a girl asked, she couldn't have more than 10 years. Incredible she actually knew the band.
"Oh well, I cannot say anything for myself, but my friend here is Kanda's little lover" smiled Angel, hugging Izzie.
"Really?" The girl's eyes widened and she stared blankly at Angel's best friend.
"What? No! No, of course not, she is just making up things" Izzie tried to defend herself, but the rumor was spreading fast...
"Is it true?"
"The lucky one!"
"How good is he at kissing?"
"I thought he was gay"
"How did Lavi took it?"
And other commentaries and gossips that Izzie wished she hadn't heard.
"What does she have of special?"
"Isn't she Mayor's Fletcher daughter?"
"She is not even pretty!"
Izzie's nerves warmed up. She had never liked being the center of attention, she hated crowds and noise and gossips and people talking at the same time. She hated lots of people together. A headache was growing inside her.
"I, no, he is not my boyfriend…no…you are getting it wrong, that's not…no, I mean…let me finish…yes, I mean, no…But" she was trying to be patient but…for God's sake "I AM NOT KANDA'S GIRLFRIEND AND WILL NEVER BE, UNDERSTOOD IT?"
The people around her stopped talking and watched the girl in silence, while she calmed down. Izzie put a hand in her forehead, covering her eyes. "I'm sorry…is just that…I am not feeling quite good"
"Come here, darlings. We are waiting for you" Komui put a hand on each shoulder of the both girls that were travelling with them, a comprehensive look in his eyes. "Why don't you go back to eat, your food must be cold by now" he suggested warmly to the teens that were around them, which slowly got dispersed.
Izzie and Angel discovered that they were the only ones of the travelling band that remained in the local; the others had entered into a private room where no one could bother them.
"Come on, spit it out!" Lavi's hand slamming the table took Angel out of her thoughts. She looked silently around.
The room was small, with just one large table where they barely accommodated themselves. Izzie was beside her, with her head hidden in her palms. On the other side there was Komui; Lenalee in front of him, then, just in front of Angel, Lavi, followed by Kanda and, finally, Allen was sitting down on the head of the table.
"It must have been one of those two. That's the only explanation" muttered Kanda, darting furtively looks from Izzie to Angel.
"It's Izzie and Angel, if you haven't noticed it" complained Angel, tired of the depictive treat that the bassist gave them.
"As if I care"
"Oi oi, let's cool things, we are here to discover our criminal" Lavi spoke, rising his palms in a pretend-to-calm gesture.
"We are here to eat" refuted Kanda.
"Beside, my dear Yuu…"
"Stop calling me by that stupid name"
"…we need to know who is the responsible. I bet that the Moyashi has something to do with it" continued Lavi, without paying too much attention to Kanda's complains.
"Why me?" Allen defended.
"Oh well, you had always said that you cannot sleep because it is like a continuous concert in your dreams" exposed Komui.
"But if I was that desperate, I'd have done that so many years ago. Actually, if maybe I had ever thought of that…mm…But I am not the guilty!"
"See? He even recognizes that the idea taunts him…" Lavi said, pointing Allen's face.
"I never said such a thing!"
"…and look at that innocent face, it must have something hidden…"
"That doesn't make any sense!"
"…if it is not gayness or sexual attraction to Kanda…"
"That is you, Lavi-san" Allen replied, without being really heard.
"Che, fucking idiot" Kanda spitted out
"…then it must be kidnapping and homicidal tendencies together with madness and an nonsensical hatred to snores, people who snore and maybe some trauma behind it!"
"A very brilliant conclusion, Lavi" said Lenalee sarcastically.
"Well, it has sense, since they were Allen's socks the ones that were used" added Angel, supporting Lavi's theory.
"Angel, you too? Oh, come on, anyone could have taken those socks, I just threw them to the floor before going to sleep"
"And that's why we should name you the guilty one" spoke Kanda, his eyes closed and his arms crossed in front of his chest in a –I don't care- position. "Because of leaving your fucking socks everywhere"
"We are here to discuss the fact that they were in your mouth, not in the floor. I think Angel did it" accused Allen, pointing the girl with a head movement.
"Hey! I didn't do anything"
"You were complaining one day about those snores" refuted Allen.
"That's not true! I am used to snores!"
"No one is used to snores" commented Lenalee from the other side of the table.
"Just people who snore, and I haven't heard Angel snore" added Lavi, a serious look in his face.
"That doesn't have any sense!"
"Just as me putting those socks inside their mouths after all this time sleeping with them!" Allen added. "Maybe it was Lenalee-chan?"
"You'd have heard the door, is as simple as that" Lenalee shrugged. "Why don't we just let this run? There's no sense on trying to discover the guilty one, the action is done"
"NO! This is a horrible crime whose protagonist must be found!" Lavi remarked his phrase slamming the table again, this time harder than the first one.
"Okay okay, I did it! Just shut everyone up!" Izzie finally exploded, rising her head and looking all the surprised faces around.
"Izzie? You?" Angel stared at her face, sincerely surprised. She would have never guessed such an action coming from her friend. She: Izzobel Fletcher, the girl who has never broken a plate.
"They didn't shut up! Never! It was like a nightmare. I haven't slept in three damned days; I don't know where is my father; I can't go back home; they tried to kidnap me during my first damned concert which I never wanted to attend and now I'm travelling with two persons that annoy all night long and stupid fans that don't know when they should just leave and my head is about to explode! It is just enough!" Izzie stood up and walked out the little room and out the restaurant. People stared at her until she disappeared from their sights, surprised to see her leaving alone.
Inside the private section, everyone stood silent, looking at each other blankly. They had never expected such a reaction from Izzie, she had acted so calmly and natural the last days, maybe not talking too much and too taciturn, but they had never seen any worry or anxious flowing across her face, her expression was always sooth and dreamy.
"Maybe I should go…" Angel stood up, but she felt something grabbing her wrist.
"Maybe she'd prefer staying alone, don't you think?" Komui's expression was smooth, but Angel could see worry in his eyes.
"I don't think so. Excuse me" Angel exited the place without hesitation.
"Che, I told you not to bring them, they only bring damned problems" Kanda claimed after the waiter left their food in front of them, Izzie's and Angel's plates in their respective places.
"But she seemed so calmed and cool" Lavi was still in shock because of Izzie's reaction, the sock theme forgotten by the events.
"She was clearly hiding her feelings" contested Lenalee, playing with a fried chip before putting it inside her mouth.
"Do you think she is going to be fine?" Allen's concernment was reflected in his eyes, not focused at all in eating as always.
"Che, who cares? Just a childish tantrum"
"Don't be that cold, Yuu…"
The door was abruptly opened.
"Izzie is not there" Angel panted. She waved Izzie's mobile in front of the group, the screen was broken, the image inside distorted by the splattered liquid. "I found it on the parking lot, behind a black car that has just left"
"What's gonna happen?" Allen asked, upset by the fact that the story had been cut in that way and they'd have to wait a pair of days to know the rest.
"I don't know, but I've got the feeling that this is gonna be interesting" Lavi was jumping hiperactevely around. "I can't wait! Hope they find Izzie-chan!" he crossed his fingers.
"What makes you think that the readers want to find that stupid girl?" Kanda's harsh voice interrupted the excitment around.
"Because she is my best friend!" Angel wandered around, many ideas of the possible ending flying inside her head.
"And I think she is going to have a relevant role in all of this. Don't be so hard, Kanda-san. I know you are anxious to know what's next" Lenalee's voice spoke.
"We are not going to know what happens next until this fucking and crazy writer receives some fucking reviews. SO CLICK THAT BUTTON, YOU LOSER!"
'Slap Kanda'
A/N DON'T BE SO RUDE, KANDA YUU! Haha, well, this chapter resulted longer than planned, as you can see, but I hope you enjoyed it. I don't really like it, since there's not too much action in here neither any song! OMG, where did I leave the songs! I'll try to make this a little more musical... is just that the story...it kind of writes by itself, I hope you understand me.
Well, as my dear friend Kanda already said in his aggressive and neurotic way, leave a review! I'd like to know what do you think.
And Happy New Year! Best wishes!
