Chapter Five

Do you know?

I can see you in my dreams and in my soul. -Me

Placing the sword inside the scanner, Komui watched from the other side of the room as he steadily took some notes. Looking over the screen he saw that the numbers were off the charts. Frowning, he moved his fingers along the screen and dissected them, analyzing the 'DNA' Properties it might have. He frowned at the information for it was rather complicated.

He picked out the old charts of kandas innocence before this incident and compared the two, realizing that they were so very different, the ones that had last month's information evened out to be about 97 percent synchronization.

He then looked at Allen's synchronization. Adding them all up, he found out that Allen's and Kanda's innocence's had somehow mixed together. But the question was how and why, and what made this all happen?

The scientists did a few minor tests on Kanda, getting his blood and testing out his synchronization level. Placing the Katana in his hands, they watched as he unleashed the innocence from within it.

What happened nearly destroyed the computers, the power was way too high for them to handle and it was still moving up.

It was uncontrollable. They watched the physical change, Kanda's left arm turned pitch black, the markings on his chest was a spiky circle went around his mark and spread to his shoulder. His hair became longer and pointed as his canines sharpened. His eyes turned to a wicked gold color.

He was a demon in human flesh, yet he moved with elegance. He turned his head to look at the men behind the glass, his coat floating off the ground a few inches.

Komui wrote this down and had the camera watch him from different angles. Pulling the microphone over towards him, he spoke. "Kanda I want you to use illusions one and move up the levels after each target is destroyed." He stated calmly as he pressed a few buttons.

Kanda hissed at Komui, growling in the process. He turned towards the targets and cocked his head to the side slightly, narrowing his eyes. An animalistic growl rippled throughout his throat and chest. Faster than a blink the dummies were destroyed. The first one was destroyed faster than before, which was expected.

Looking at the charts Komui scanned them and wrote down the numbers that appeared.

After this there was a number of test and evaluations, which had just taken moments to finish up. To Kanda they were far from satisfying. Scoffing he looked towards the men and women, snarling as a growl erupted from his chest. He wanted something more. Something powerful, something better than these pathetic dummies.

Komui took a hollowed out stick from his pocket and stuck a needle inside. He aimed at Kanda and blew at it, watching as Kanda went limp on the ground and the sword fell him his grasp. His body slowly turning back to it's original form. They watched as the sword transformed back to Allen, nude and curled up in a ball. She was out like a light, the only thing that covered her form was ripples or pockets of air.

Komui knew what they were; the pockets of air were the illusions protecting the female. He looked at Kanda who was awake and now staring at Allen, struggling to move closer to her. He watched them carefully, in his mind he was wishing, begging for the male to move. He needed to know what was going on between the two.

He watched as Kanda moved his head towards Allen, he twitched and growled in irritation. He inched towards Allen. Oh so slowly, he used what body strength he had left and moved towards the female on the floor, his hand was just centimeters away from Allen's.

Flexing his fingers he was able to wrap his fingers with hers.

Komui looked over at them carefully, writing down a few new notes. 'It seems that Kanda's and Allen's innocence's have blended together to form one, the reasons for this mixture was because Allen's was dying off slowly and needed to attach itself to a stronger host. And the closest and highest synchronization level was Kanda's.' He thought to himself as he watched Kanda drag himself towards the female. His movements were slow and weak, making progress of moving towards her. Once he was close enough he snaked his arm around the girl's thin waist, bringing her close and hiding her with his body.

'Allen's innocence called upon Kanda's because that was the first innocence that it came in contact with and nearly destroyed it, so it reacted on past events, turning into those once particles right before he reached the river bank, that is what the silver light was. Mugen was just reacting to the other innocence, saving it from diminishing. It seems we have a new chapter to discover on innocence, for things are getting more complicated.' He thought once more.

He looked at the other scientists who were waiting for him to finish up with his notes. Komui nodded to them. "Let's see how well they do apart from one another, but first we must let them rest, Kanda is in no shape to move, nor does he look ready to let go of Allen." He explained as he walked out of the room, he pace was swift and eager. He needed another refill on his coffee.

His thoughts wandered off towards the new innocence that has been formed between the two exorcists. All he needed to figure out was why all of this was happening, and he needed to find out as to what happened to Allen's innocence, he did see it on Kanda's arm. 'Maybe the only way he can activate his sword is though Allen's innocence...so would that mean that Kanda is Allen's innocence and Allen is Kanda's?' As he pondered on these theories, he felt as though he was just digging a hole for himself. None of this made any real sense to him. 'Soon I will need to send Allen and Kanda on a mission, I will send Lavi and a finder with them to keep track of what is happening between the two. I also want to see how Kanda and Allen will react to an Akuma a low level and a high level.'

Walking into his office he passed the piling papers on the floor and desk and grabbed a random book in the book case. Picking it up, he walked to his desk, pushing the papers onto the floor. He looked at the clear desk, sighing he opened the book and grabbed a pen. He placed down the notes and his thoughts on the matter that was happening between Kanda and Allen and what he thinks what will happen between the two.

Placing the book back in its rightful place he walked from the room, smiling he refilled his mug and looked about the room. He watched as the men moved back and forth. 'Maybe this will turn out for the best...but what will happen to Allen and Kanda in the end of this war, will they die off or will they live on as they always have been?'

Turning away from the science department he walked towards his room, he needed a nap, to refresh his mind for late tonight.

~Kanda

I looked over at Allen as she laid next to me on the bed. I could feel the amnestic leaving my body oh so slowly. Wrapping my arm around Allen I pulled her back towards my chest. Placing my face down on the crown of her head, I closed my eyes inhaling her scent. I felt warmth pool at my fingertips and arms, slowly filling and soothing my muscles, calming my raging mind.

Taking in her scent deeply was also relaxing; it felt natural to do these things to her. Normally I would never even think about doing such things, but I already knew that on the inside that I wanted this, I have always wanted to curl up inside her arms. I felt so very safe in them and so warm, no longer feeling cold.

Feeling her warm breath on my neck was rather soothing, it helped me realize that she was alive, here and no longer missing or dead.

Thinking back on those test that we both went through, I realized that they might just want to keep us in that horrifying state to win the war and kill off anyone or anything that dare threatens the Order. That was a thought I wished that occurred to me at an early time, before I went to Komui.

Sighing deeply I opened my eyes to look down at Allen who was now awake and looking up at me with tired eyes. "K-kanda?" She whispered out, her voice was ragged and sore sounding. I ran my fingers up her sides and then cupped her cheek, gently rubbing my finger against her cheek. "Hmmm?" I hummed softly.

"What happened?" She asked, gaining some control over herself. She leaned into my touch and curled up into my chest, I could feel the heat pour from her body onto my own skin.
Slowly I began to explain to her the events that occurred throughout the day and into the late afternoon. I told her about the surge of power and how we have not gotten the results to the test. I looked at her waiting for something to happen, her yelling, glare, just anything. But looking at her, she looked scared and confused. "I don't understand, how am I Mugen, isn't Mugen your innocence?"

I nodded, "Well it was my innocence, but from what I saw and felt you are now my innocence and I am yours." I explained, "This is just what I think from what I saw and felt." I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her closer as I laid on my back, pulling her on top of my chest to let her lay there.

I watched as she laid on top of my chest, she spread out her legs and arms. Her legs tangled with mine and her arms were on my chest, curling around her face. Her head was on its side, letting her breath easily.

"I don't like where this is heading, something is bound to happen, we both know that the higher ups are going to use what they can to win in this war." She explained softly, I knew this. I could have stopped it before it could have happened, but I was too damn stubborn to even think about waiting it out for a couple more days. Allen had just gotten here last night and so much has happened already.

Placing my hands along her back, I slowly trailed them up to her head, playing with the hair on her head and moved my fingers to the scalp and back to the tips. I felt her relax against my body.
"Why are you being so nice to me?" She asked, her tone was questioning and confused.

Looking at her, I stopped playing with her hair and dropped my hands to her lower back. "We have been through so much even in the last 24 hours… I have come to the conclusion that my feelings for you are deeper than what I thought. At first I thought that I hated you to the very core, and the reason why I thought that was because off all your fake smiles, your positive nature, and everything about you just sent me to an angry flame." I started off, I looked at her, I knew she knew this, but I wanted to explain it myself.

"Then those feelings grew more powerful. It came to friendship, companionship, to a brother sort of love, and after I found out I cared for you as a brother. I did everything I could to protect you to the point where I had to threaten your life to get you to a safe point, knowing that I would have to pull through with some of those threats." I took a breath before I continued. "I have always cared for you in some sort of way, yeah I may not have the best ways to show you how much I care, but I try, I have gotten use to the idea of being gentle with women, through Lenalee and Miranda." Looking up into her eyes, I saw some type of emotion flicker across them. "I was hard on you as a male because I wanted you to get stronger, but I wanted it to seem that I did not care. That way when I did die you would not feel any pain." I stroked your cheek, "I can be gentle with you now that I know that you are a female, it is most acceptable in public then it is you being a male."

"So you are saying that the reason you were nasty with me was because I was male and you could not show the affection of that of a brother towards me without being labeled as a gay couple of sorts?" She asked, shifting only a little to get more comfortable as she placed her arms under her chin and looked at me.

"Yes and no," sighing I take a breath. "the reason why I would not show you anything but utter contempt was because I thought you were a male at that time, and the way a man thinks is that we push and push the other that we care about so that they get stronger, and to have that someone they can go against to get better. I knew that you had no one to look forward to besides Cross, so I became that person who would test you to get strong while I kept you from getting close to me."

She nodded her head and looked down sighing softly. "So you care for me as a brother?"

"No, I don't. As I said before my feelings for you grew into something much more, so much more, that I could not hold back, and when you vanished for those days, I felt so dead inside. Nothing made sense anymore, I was hopelessly lost." I explained and placed my hand on her cheek and went to her chin, holding them in my forefingers. I sat up, pulling her up with me. I moved her legs so that she was straddling me as she sat on my lap. The blanket slid down behind us, only covering her legs.

I looked into her silver orbs, seeing that she was eager for me to finish. Smiling at her, I leaned down, barely an inch from her lips. "I fell in love with you; you have my heart and everything with it." I stated, brushing my lips against hers.

Pulling back I looked at her expression, she was flushing like a red rose. I lightly traced my thumb against her bottom lip. I looked into her eyes once again and saw that they were wide with shock. Slowly they blinked and she looked at me fully. She slowly smiled at me and she wrapped her arms around my neck, letting her pull me down. "You should finish what you started Bakanda."

Smiling at her, I pressed my lips onto her. She returned the kiss with much vigor as I. Relishing the kiss I pulled her closer and wrapped my arms around her waist, my hand traveled to her head pulling her closer to my mouth, I wanted a bit more.
She gave it to me, opening her mouth she let me in, moaning softly as I explored her mouth. She gave a little lick of her own wanted to taste me. I encouraged her to come into my own moist cavern.

Pulling back to gain some air, I look at her and stroked her flushed cheeks. We were both panting from how intense the kiss had been on both sides.

"I love you as well Kanda, I have for some time, but the only way I could get you to response was to snap back. That was the only way I felt like I could gain your attention." she whispered. "I hated the fact that Lenalee was so close to you, and I wanted your attention on me and not some other girl." She whispered softly, looking shameful and embarrassed. "I feel bad for the way I acted, even though those are my true colors." She mumbled the last part as I raised a brow at her. "What do you mean true colors?"

She looked at me with surprise on her face and smiled mischievously. "You are just going to have to find out, now aren't you?" She practically purred, her lips pursed for a moment, making them look kissable.

I smirked at her and started to dance my fingers up and down her sides. I loved the reaction I got from her, she squeaked and goose bumps appeared along her skin, giggling at the feeling.

Taking her reaction as something good, I repeated the motion across her skin, bending down I whispered in her ear. "Sensitive aren't we?" I asked nipping at her ear.

All I received was a giggled and a small yelp from her.

This was getting interesting already; I was going to enjoy playing with her. Moving my head I kiss her cheek, pulling back I place my hands on her hips and smiled at her. I laid back down and stared up at the female above me.

She was straddling my waist as I looked over her body. Pulling her down against my chest, I pulled the blanket up. I did not want anyone else to see her like I do, she was only for me to see and my eyes alone.

"You will never have to worry about me looking at another woman the way I look at you." I whispered to her. She hummed softly, agreeing with me. "Same for you Bakanda." I heard her whisper against my chest. "You don't have to worry about me either."

A promised made between the two of us, hoping that it last until the end of our path.
