Hi guys, Hao here with the last part of The Lotus Ring, it's sad really, it's the first story I've ever finished.
Warnings: Swearing, that it.
Disclaimer:...
WARNING: Read the paragraph after the 'The End' for I have something say.
Now with that out of the way, let's continue on.
Part 7
The first thing Kanda realized when he woke up was the smell of bacon and cooking going on in the other room. The second was the punding in hks head has risen again, but not because of memories that were trying to arise, it was because of the memories that already have shown.
As he slept many things went through his head, which was the cause of the headache, he remembered things that just yesterday were non-existant. As he sat up in bed he noticed that Allen wasn't in bed, 'So is he the one cooking?' Kanda thought to himself as he got out of bed and quickly washed up and dressed, as he looked himself over in the mirror and noticed the two holes in his neck. He placed his hand over it and felt a familiar tingle run through him.
He closed his eyes and went through his mind, he remembered Allen,and there were a couple of other things he remembered but so far memories of Allen were the only ones that stood out at the moment.
Allen happilly whistled as the bacon sizzled in the pan, he woke up about an hour ago feeling sticky but pleasantly sated, he spent the first half hour cleaning up the mess they had made on the bed. Then he decided he would make breakfast since Kanda would probably be hungry.
He cracked another egg onto the pan and let it sizzled as he put another few strips of bacon onto a plate. He was happy to hear a familiar voice, but he didn't turn around until he heard a familiar name. "What's with the breakfast? I thought you didn't eat human meals Moyashi." Allen turned around his eyes wide, he saw Kanda leaning against a wall with a very small smirk.
"Kanda, did you just call me...you remember?" He was at a lost for words.
The Japanese man looked away slightly with a small blush at being stared at, "Not everything, but I do remember you, and couple of other things." He walked up and yelped slightly when Allen pulled him into a tight hug. "Uh...Allen...can you let go of me?"
Allen reluctantly pulled away but pecked Kanda's cheek before going back to finishing breakfast. "I figured you might be hungry when you woke up, I know you would prefer Soba but I decided to make something different." He listened as Kanda took a seat close by. "So how does it feel? To remember?"
Kanda looked at the floor thinking about it, "It's weird, when I woke up everything felt odd. Last night I had all these..well.. I wouldn't call them dreams, cause they weren't; they were memories, and when I woke up...I just knew." He subconciously rubbed his arms like he was cold, lost in thought. "It's weird, having all these memories that aren't yours yet...at the same time they are."
Allen frowned slightly at the distressed tone in Kanda's voice, after taking the eggs of the pan he walked over to Kanda and hugged him comfortingly. "It's alright, I know it's odd now, but sooner or later it'll be okay." Kanda put his hands on Allen's shoulders and pushed him back with a small smile.
"I'll be alright, I'm already adjusting to the memories so you don't need to worry about me." He smiled a little showing the vampire that he was indeed alright.
"Alright if your sure." Allen went ovewr ot the counter and picked up the plate of eggs and bacon and hand it to Kanda. "Eggs and Bacon for breakfast, it'll restore the energy that you lost when I drank your blood."
As Kanda ate the breakfast that Allen made him they just chatted, made small talk, Allen was glad that nothing bad happened to Kanda now that some of his memories returned to him. When Kanda was done he cleaned up the plate and they sat together on the couch. The white-haired male made Kanda lean against him as they cuddled on the couch.
He watched as his lover leaned his head against his shoulder and closed his eyes, after a few minutes like that Kanda immediatly sat up shocking the vampire. "Kanda? What's wrong?" He asked him worridly. There's no answer, the Japanese man just stood up and went over to the door and put on his shoes and a jacket. Allen follwed after him. "Where are we going?"
Kanda looked at him with a blank expression, "The rabbits place."
Lavi yawned as he walked tiredly down the steps, he wasn't planning on being up this early but Allen might be on his wahy to tell him how the date went and everything so he decided to be up early instead of being woken up.
He opened the fridge and grabbed the first red bag he saw not caring what type it was, he tossed it into the microwave and turned it on for a few seconds. When it was done he took it out and poured the contents into a mug and carried it over to the couch and sat on it taking sips as he did, he looked at Kanda's car and felt like glaring at it. It wasn't Mugen, it was an insult to the real dealand he almost took it apart rather than put it together a few times.
After a couple of deep breathhe finished the liquid in his cup and set it down to the side. Bookman walked in and just nodded at his grandson, basically meaning 'good morning I'll be heading out soon.' And that was it.
About an hour after the old vampire left there was a knock on the door followed by a loud bang. The vampire figured the first knock was Allen but couldn't figure out who the other one was. Until he opened the door and found himself lifted half-an-inch above the ground by none other than Kanda. "Wow! Hey, Yuu...uh...what's wrong? And can you please put me down?"
Kanda was about to yell at him but when Allen placed a hand on his shoulder he set him down but kept up the glaring. "I don't know if I should hurt you for lying ot me since high school or if I should hurt your for calling me that."
Lavi actually flinched away from Kanda when he saw the seriousness and anger in his eyes, "Wow I don't know what you mean K-" The Japanese narrowed his eyes even deeper at the Vampire who glanced at Allen who just smiled. His eyes widened as he looked back at Kanda. "You remmeber?"
"Where. Is. It. Lavi." Oh shit, he really wasn't happy, Lavi gupled and took a step back as he raised his hands like he was surrendering. Lavi knew this was gonna happen as soon as he remembered but he didn't think that his friend would be this violent...wait a minute, it's Kanda of course he was gonna be this violent.
"Fine, give me a seconds to go and get it, sit down on the couch and chill, yeesh." They went into the living room and Lavi went over to the desk and opened the secret compartment there. Allen happily sat down and pulled Kanda down to sit with him, although he was really relucant. Allen nuzzled into Kanda's neck who blushed and gently pushed him back and looked away wanting the annoying blush to go away.
When Lavi stood up with the familiar black box in his hands he walked over to Kanda and tried not to smile as he saw the blush on his face, he glanced at Allen who was only smirking at the blush as well. "Here, your little boyfriend here asked me to look after it, I even fixed it up, it was... in pretty bad shape when we found it after...well.. you know."
Kanda didn't reply as he looked at the box in his hands, he opened it and saw the familiar sheath. He took it out of the box and drew the blade out of it it's holder, the familiar black blade glinting in the light. The handle was familiar in his hands and he could almost see himself running it through flesh.. He frowned at the thought, he remembered Allen and the Usagi and even his grandfather, he also remembered Mugen but that was it. Everything else was a blank.
"Is something wrong Kanda?" Allen asked softly as he saw the frustrated look on the long-haired male.
"No not really, it's just, other than you guys I don't remember anything else, I know Mugen is my sword, but...I don't know why, how I know three vampires and maybe more in a past life and...it's just..." He didn't say anything more just glared, mostly at himself, he wanted to remember, if anything just a little more details on everything.
Lavi thought about it for a while and ccame to a conclusion, "Well it's possible you remember us because you actually met us up front or something. You've known me and gramps since we were in high school, and even though you just re-met the beansprout you guys were lovers in the past so it would make sense. You probably remember Mugen because you did see it yesterday, memory block or otherwise."
"Yeah just give it time Kanda," Allen comforted him, he only nodded though and sheathed the katana.
There was a long silence in the room for a minute or so when the red-head suddenly smiled and sat on the floor and just looked at them with big eyes. "So, give me the deats."
The two just raised an eyebrow at him and looked at each other confused. "Deats?" Allen asked, more suprised that he actually used that word.
"About what?" Kanda asked him more curious about the question entirely, not just one word.
""What happened during your guyses date? I was expecting Allen coming here all hearts and rainbows wanting to tell me what happened instead all this happened, so? I'm guessing you guys got it on or something?" I smirked wiggling and eyebrow.
Allen shook his head and Kanda glared at him, he glanced back down at Mugen in his hands and smirked as he went to unsheath it. THe rabbit saw this and his eyes widen as he put his hands up and ran out of the room.
The white-haired vampire chuckled, 'Some things will never change.' He smiled as he laid his chin on Kanda's shoulder as they both laughed as Lavi let out a loud squeel as yelled out 'Spider!' And ran back into the room and behind Kanda. He spent five minutes trying to convince Kanda to kill it with Mugen, he finally stopped when Kanda threatened him again.
They spent a couple of hours watching tv, chatting, Lavi making fun of Kanda when Allen flirted with him, Kanda pulled his car out of the garage and went back to join them where they ate three things of pizza and buffalo wings.
"Ya know," Lavi said with his mouth half full of pizza, "I know this doesn't really do anything, but I have to say, Pizza, is the best thing humans have ever invented." He gulped the pizza and took a big gulp of water. "And them wings aren't all that bad either." Allen only nodded in agreement and Kanda only shrugged not really caring.
Later that night the boys decided to have a movie night (well, Allen and Lavi did, Kanda just went along with it cause there was nothing to do), they watched a few different movies. By the second Movie the Japanese male had fallen asleep leaning against the arm rest of the couch with Allen leaning on his chest. And hour later and the two vampires decided to sleep as well. No one had a clue what was gonna hpapen next.
When the clock struck midnight only a short moment after the doorbell rang and there was a loud knock on the door, Lavi was the first one to sit up when he heard the loud bang. Allen wasn't as quick but he did sit up when he heared Lavi stand up, careful not to wake Kanda up who hadn't stirred yet in his sleep he followed Lavi at the door taking a quick glance at the time. 'Who would show up at Midnight?' He asked himself.
They walked over to the door and Lavi opened it, neither of them were expecting to see familiar long teal hair and dark grey eyes that shined. Next to her was a man with purple hair, a white outfit with a stupid white had on top of his head, he was grinning, he had glasses on and grey eyes similar to the girl next to him. "Heeeey Allen! Lavi how are you doing?" The man said very peppily as he adjusted his glasses.
"C-Chief Komui?" Lavi asked very nervous and trying to stay as quite as he could, a sleepy Kanda was not a 'nice' Kanda.
"Hey don't forget me, Lavi." The girl said frowning as she crossed her arms over her chest.
"We didn't forget you Lenalee, we just, weren't expecting you till later." Allen said.
Linalee looked at him and smiled, but then it turned into a glare. "I can't believe you Allen, you disappear for another ten years and when we can finally get a hold of you the rabbit here tells us your busy and that you can't visit the Order." She explains, or half yelled.
The two panicked, "Sh! Lena be quite, it's late." Lavi told her as he tried to keep them from walking into the house.
"Oh why do you care, the humans are asleep, and let us in, do you know how far we traveled to get here? Now move," she glared at them and Komui's smile faltered a bit, it was obvious he to had something to say but waited.
Hesitantly the two vampires let them in and Lavi brought them into the dining room and offered them a drink, which the two kindly denied...while Komui asked for Coffee for some reason. Allen snuck into the living room to check on Kanda who's eyes were now narrowed slightly and was now lying on his right side. Allen ran his hand through Kanda's hair softly, before going back to join the others as Lenalee talked with Lavi asking him why they had pizza and buffalo wings.
"Oh, you know, we were in the mood for some human food so we got some." It was partially true, he just left Kanda out of it.
"uh huh," Komui said suspiciously with a slight knowing look in his eyes, "So what was your personal matter, Allen, that you couldn't come and visit us?"
"Oh...um...well, I just wanted to spend a bit with lavi here, you know, catch up and everything." He rubbed the back of his head as he fidgeted where he stood.
Lena looked at him suspicious and saw the door was cracked, it was closed when they first entered the room, so why was it open now. Unless... "What's in the living room?" She asks as she stood up and walked over to the door.
She pushed past Allen who was trying to convince there was nothing in there, Lavi was looking very worried and as the older male just watched drinking his coffee.
Kanda woke up feeling a little cold and his arms empty. When he opened his eyes the living room was empty, he looked around and there was no sign of the idiot rabbit or Allen. As he sat up slowly he heard voices from the kitchen, he recognized both Allen's and Lavi's voices, but the yelling was from a girl and another voice was male, but it wasn't any he knew. He rubbed his temple and thought about going back to sleep but with all that yelling it was probably going to be impossible.
After thinking it over twice he finally decided to stand up and walk over to the door where light poured in from. It seemed that the conversation was about him, were they friends of theres? If they were, certainly weren't acting like it at the moment. Just as he was about to open the door and enter the room Allen spoke up.
"Will you guys please be quiet, I'll go get him right now if you really want to talk to him." He heard his lover say as he opened the door, he was looking at the people in the room but when he turned to the living room he paused. "Oh, Kanda your up."
"There was yelling when I woke up so I wanted to see if there was something wrong." Allen didn't look all that tired, he just looked very annoyed and you could tell he would much rather be somewhere else than dealing with whatever was happening right now.
Allen looked over his boyfriend for a second, his clothes were wrinkled and there were slightly dark circles under his eyes, he indeed looked tired and that he had just woken up. Which made him feel a little upset about forcing Kanda to meet Lenalee and Komui in such a state. "Come in, there are a couple of friends that want to talk to you." Allen took his hand, gave him a quick peck on his cheek and gently pulled him in.
Around ten the next morning Kanda arrived back at his apartment pale and exhausted. He hadn't gotten much sleep before he had woken up and he hadn't got the chance to go back to sleep because the girl, Lenalee, and her over protective and wierd brother were to busy asking him questions, asking Allen and Lavi question and there were a few tears from Lenalee. He wasn't sure if he should feel bad for not remembering them or not, at the moment he felt more annoyed than anything with the lack of sleep.
After locking the door he placed the long box on the table, it help Mugen in there, he didn't want to leave it at the rabbits place any longer now that he remembered that it was a sword, and not a car. Instead of stopping to grab something that wasn't cold pizza for breakfast he went into his room and just lied on his bed and closed his heavy eyes wanting more sleep.
A couple hours later he opened his eyes and felt the bed dip down, he lifted his head and looked behind him and saw Allen there smiling. "Hey." He said softly, not wanting to wake him up any more than he already was.
"How did you get in? The door was locked." Kanda asked him, then he noticed a slight breeze in the room. He looked at the window to see it was open. "You broke into my apartment, through my window?"
"Your door was locked, other than breaking it down how else was I supposed to get in?" Allen joked as he lied down next to kanda. "How are you feeling by the way?"
"Tired, headache...hungry but that can wait."
The vampire chuckled as they lied there peacefully, he thought about what Komui had said after Kanda went home but he figured that could wait for later. "Komui, wanted to ask you something, but he said it could wait for a bit." There was no reply but he knew that his lover was listening, they just lied there in silence.
"I may not remember everything, but I'm glad I remembered you, Moyashi." Kanda said very quietly, the white-haired male took his hand and squeezed it lightly and Yuu squeezed back. They didn't need to say anything, silence was enough.
It wasn't long before Kanda had fallen back asleep, and Allen just watched him smiling. He had his love back, and for nowhe was happy for the peace and quiet.
The End...?
Now as I'm sure some of you have noticed, I left A LOT open for a sequel, and as I was writing this story I felt like it could be longer, however the main idea was supposed to be for the last seven days of Halloween so I couldn't. So I want to see what you guys think, should there be a sequel for this story? I don't know when it'll be posted, if there are people who say they want a sequel then there might be one around next year or sooner. However if there isn't, then I won't till after I finish my Tales of Vesperia fanfic.
Now with that all said and done, I shall bid you all adui, I hope you guys liked The Lotus Ring, I hope it was different, and I hope some of you will want to see a Sequel to happen. I'm Haosbattler, this is my first finished story, and...goodbye.
