AN: I'm sorry this is so late! My computer at home isn't working so I can't type! I have to use the school computers and I can't write much cuz I don't have the time. Again, I'm sorry, hopefully my comp will get fixed soon. Anyway, here's a really short installment, I'll add to it when my computer gets fixed.

Yoru walked toward the library with Allen and Lavi trailing close behind, attempting to dissuade her from visiting a certain person.

"Trust me, this is a big mistake," Said one.

"He won't hesitate to kill you even though you're a girl," said the other.

The Japanese teen just ignored them and kept walking.

"Yoru-san, please! You don't know what he's capable of," this made her turn around to glare at the boys who almost collided with her.

"Look," she said, "let's get something straight. Despite the fact that it seems you were told that I was an exorcist here four years ago, you two insist on treating me like the new kid. The truth is that if I had fought for the order continuously up to this point, I'd have been here for nine years total. So I think I know a lot more about headquarters, and that includes the people in it, than either of you."

She turned on her heel and kept walking; leaving two very stunned young men to follow in her wake.


They entered the library to find Kanda lying on one of the couches. His eyes were closed and his chest was gently rising up and down, indicating that he was asleep. Lavi and Allen were both stunned by the normally scowling swordsman's tranquil expression.

"He looks…just so peaceful," Allen said in awe.

"Never knew he had it in him to make that kind of face," Lavi said, his arms folded behind his head, "I always though that Yu's face was stuck that way."

"Well he won't be peaceful for long," Yoru replied, smirking and picking up a pitcher of water from one of the side tables. Lavi and Allen watched in horror as the girl walked over and dumped the contents of the flask on Kanda's face.

Coughing and sputtering, Kanda jolted up and whipped his head around only to receive a hit that sent him rolling, completely disoriented, to the floor. He rolled onto his back and was just about to sit up when a booted foot placed itself on his chest. The Japanese teen looked up to a pair of very angry violet eyes glowering down at him. Kanda's eyes widened as he recognized the girl standing above him with her arms crossed.

"Y-YORU?!" he exclaimed. The said teen pressed her foot down, sending a dull pain through Kanda's ribcage.

"Damn right it's me, you fucking dumbass," She smiled, though the air around her was like ice, "Thanks for the snub, by the way."

Kanda started to explain but Yoru just dropped a note on his face and left, an awkward silence in her wake.


Kanda sat on the couch, reading the note Yoru had left on his face. It read as follows:

Honestly, Kanda, would it kill you to be a little more social? I know how you feel about this, but seriously, you're never going to get anywhere without trying to make at least one friend, other than me obviously. So next time there's a new exorcist, try actually coming to the welcoming party, then you won't end up with another drenching.

Yoru

P.S.

Come to the training ground at 3:00 tomorrow afternoon, we'll catch up there.

Lavi had started to read the letter over Kanda's shoulder, "HAHAHA!! YU-CHAN GOT CHEWED OUT BY THE NEW GIRL!" when he read the second half, his mouth fell open, "AND GOT A DATE TO BOOT?!" the red head stared at the Japanese man, "how the hell do you get a date when she's pissed at you and all I get is a sore arm?"

Kanda sighed, "It's not a date, Lavi, and I've known her for years. As you could probably tell, Yoru isn't exactly the most feminine, and definitely not the most romantic, of people." Kanda surprised even himself with how calmly he'd spoken to the redheaded idiot, "further more, she's not the "new girl", she's been part of the order for as long as I have…actually probably longer, now that I think of it. Anyway, she's probably going to want to train tomorrow, not actually talk. It seems logical considering she's been MIA for about four years. Wait…what do you mean a sore arm?! WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO, STUPID RABBIT?!"

Lavi backed away slowly; Kanda was pissed, definitely pissed. "No-nothing," he stuttered nervously, "I just tried to ask her out and she pinned me! I swear it was nothing more than that!"

Kanda smacked his hand to his forehead; he couldn't believe how stupid Lavi was. "Idiot, make a mental note RIGHT NOW. Yoru may look like a girl, but in reality, she's just as short tempered and violent as I am. Of course, for you, because she's of the opposite sex, it makes her about ten times as dangerous as me. Trust me, provoking her is like provoking a lioness. I say lioness because they're much more dangerous than male lions."

"Wow, Kanda," Lavi said, "I can't believe how much you know about lions!"

"I can't believe he actually admitted that he's a short tempered, violent bastard," Allen said, smirking.

Kanda sighed again; he didn't have the energy to deal with Lavi's idiocy or Allen's provocations. He also needed to dry off. He got up and was about to leave when he turned back to the two morons. "You can laugh all you want about what I said," He smirked, "but when one, or even better both of you end up in the infirmary with your heads cracked open, don't come crying to me." With that the swordsman left the library, leaving Lavi and Allen feeling very nervous about the order's "new" addition.

There, second half of that chapter finally up!
