Allen walked into the lunch room. It had been two days since the incident at the restaurant and he had forgiven Mikki, only because she paid for half of Cross's debts.

"Hey, where's Mikki? She's usually here by now." He said as he sat down next to Lenalee.

"Miiiikiiiii!" Lavi yelled as he looked around the room. "Huh, that's weird, she usually answers when you call her name." Lavi shrugged and they continued on with their business.

:::

"Bean sprout," Kanda huffed as he walked into Allen's room the next day. "Have you seen Mikki?"

"Nope, I'd ask Lavi if I were you. Although, he's been looking like a lost puppy lately, so maybe he hasn't seen her either."

:::

"Hey Allen, when you see Mikki can you give her this?" Johnny brought in a black plastic bag.

Allen scrunched up his nose as he took the bag. "What is this? And why does it smell like lighter fluid?"

"It's her uniform. We patched it up for her since she decided to rip holes into it and attempt to light in on fire."

"Oh, well I'll be sure to give it to her. If I ever see her again. It's been about four days since I last saw her. I'm starting to get a bad feeling about it."

:::

"We have an emergency!" Komui stated as the exorcists walked into the meeting room a few days later. "Mikki has been missing for almost a week now. I have a feeling, a really bad feeling, that it has something to do with the Noahs."

"Do you think they kidnapped her?" Lenalee asked.

"It can't have anything to do with Tyki, Cross would have came here and interrogated all of us." Reever spoke up.

"Maybe she pulled a Cross and went to India..." Allen sighed.

"Why would she go to India? She hates elephants and monkeys." Lavi began to panic. "Oh no what if she's in trouble! Oh I know I shoulda never let her out of my sight!"

"Tsk, shut up," Kanda kicked Lavi over.

"Now's not the time to panic. What we need is a plan. Allen, since you mentioned it, I want you and Krory to go to India and search for her."

"W-wait, India's huge!"

"You're right, take Miranda with you. Kanda, Lavi, and Lenalee I want you to search Ireland."

"Hold on, you want three of us to search a whole country?" Allen asked, his face going pale. "Why did you have to give us India? Why does Kanda get the smaller one?"

"Hey guys," the small calm voice of Miranda spoke up, "have any of you looked in her room? Maybe she left a note?" The room went silent. "So none of you checked?" They all shook their heads. "Maybe she's in there..." Lavi, Allen, and Kanda both shot up and ran to her room.

"Mikki! Sweetheart we've been looking everywh-" Lavi stopped in the doorway. The room was empty.

"Sweetheart?" Kanda shoved him out of the way. He went over to her bed and found a piece of paper on her pillowcase.

"Is that a letter?" Allen walked in and looked over Kanda's shoulder, which ended up being a failed effort. "What's it say?"

Kanda grunted as he scanned down the page. "Nothing."

"It's gotta say something. Here give it to me and I'll read it." Lavi reached out for the paper, but Kanda pulled it away. "...give it here."

"Bite me." This caused Lavi to twitch. They began bickering back and fourth as Allen sneakily took the paper out of Kanda's hands.

"Dear Morons," the two stopped as Allen began reading out loud. "If my guess is accurate, you are reading this note a few days after you've decided to notice my missing beautiful self. Of course, you probably have gone into a panic and looked every else in the Order, but your brains are so small you didn't even think to look in my room first." Allen looked up from the paper. "Yup, this is definitely her writing so we don't have to worry about a kidnapping." He went back to reading, "Who ever reads this note first, my guess is it's either Albino Boy, the Sexy Ginger, Mangirl, or all three of you, please please please do not look for me. I will be home, I just don't know when. So stop worrying your tiny butts off and go find a better hobby then tracking me down. Sincerely, If you find me I will be your worst nightmare. P.S.-"

"STOP!" Kanda lunged for the note.

"Ignore Mangirl and finish it!" Lavi told Allen as he tried to restrain Kanda from ripping the letter out of Allen's hands.

"P.S. Tell Mangirl that I have his hot pink thong and if he or anyone else comes looking for me, I'm not afraid to attach it to the flag outside with his name written all over it." Allen stared at the paper before a wide wicked grin spread across his face.

"Woah, I learn something new about you everyday Yuu." Lavi said as he let go of the struggling man. "Sometimes they're things I don't really want to know."

"I DO NOT have one!" Kanda yelled as he tore up the paper and threw it out the window.

Allen squinted his eyes. "Then why are you acting so funny?"

"I'm not acting funny." He squinted back at Allen and they had a stare off.

"Hey, looks like miss perfect left some evidence behind." Lavi ignored the two and looked under the bed. There, on the floor, was a brochure for Egypt. "I think the first place we should look is the Nile River." He opened the page to a picture of overly tanned people splashing in the river.

In Egypt:

Mikki was laying on her stomach when her head shot up.

"What's the matter?" A man's voice asked.

"I have a feeling I forgot something."

"Something important?"

"Mmm, I don't know. But I got another feeling that I should buy a hot pink thong."

On a train, heading to Egypt:

"Explain to me again why Komui thought it would be a good idea to send us to get her?" Kanda asked as he looked at Lenalee.

"Because she just can't go running off like that."

"Her father is Cross Marian for fucks sake!"

"Kanda calm down, no need to get your...thong in a knot." Lavi broke out into laughter at his little joke. Kanda pulled out his Mugen and began to go after Lavi, but Lenalee got in the way and calmed him down enough that he would sit in his seat.

"Kanda, Allen, and Lavi I want you to listen to me." Lenalee waited for the boys to look at her. "Now I don't want a repeat of what happened on the last train ride. All you boys did was fight. Now can we please act like human beings for once?"

"..."

"Please?"

"Fine," Allen sighed.

"Of course he gives in," Lavi muttered as he looked out the window.

"What's that supposed to mean!" Allen demanded. Kanda just leaned back in his seat and to watch the fight unfold.

:::

When they arrived at the station they looked around. All they could see for miles was sand. Sand, sand, and more sand with the occasional rock.

"Who the hell would vacation here?" Kanda said as he watched a dried up looking lizard slid under a rock.

"Mikki?" Lenalee suggested.

"No...even Mikki wouldn't want to be here. Hey Lavi, do you think she put that there on purpose knowing that we would find it and come here?" Allen asked.

"Well, she was spot on with that letter, so maybe she's just twisted enough to do that."

"I'm hot," Lenalee whined. She turned around to see where the train was going next when she noticed something. "Hey guys, look." They all turned and their mouths dropped open.

"It must be a mirage," Allen whispered.

"It's so...blue...and sparkly! I'm glade I wore my swimsuit instead of underwear!" Lavi said as he ripped off his clothes to reveal black and green swim trunks. He ran off the train station platform and jumped into the Nile River.

"I, I didn't bring a suit." Allen whimpered as he watched Lenalee join him splashing in the water. "Well, looks like we'll be shoreline buddies." He looked over to Kanda only to watch as he took off his clothes to reveal his suit."That's...that's just not right!" Allen pouted as he walked to the edge of the water.

"What's the matter sprout? Didn't you bring yours?" Lavi asked when he noticed Allen kicking the sand. "You can always go skinny dipping! It's not like me and Kanda haven't seen one before, and I'm sure Lenalee wouldn't mind!" Slap Lenalee hit him across the face. "Okay, okay maybe she would."

"I'm going to go look for Mikki," Allen undid his shirt a little and rolled up his pant legs while Lavi did a sneak attack and splashed Allen. "Ah come on!" Lavi just laughed away. Allen sighed as he took his shirt off to ring it out. He put it back on, but found it uncomfortable so he left it in the sand as he walked the shoreline to find the mischievous red head. As he got down farther he saw more and more people. All of them were a nice golden tan and dark hair. It should be easy to find a pale, overly tattooed girl with bright red hair. In fact, it was so easy, he managed to find two heads of bright red hair.

"MIKKI!" Allen screamed when he found them lying down in the sand. "MASTER!" The two red heads looked up to see an extremely bright white child running full speed at them.

"Shit!" Cross said as he shot up and ran away.

"Dad! You can't leave me here!" She looked and saw a very angry Allen a few feet away. She decided it would be best to abandon the towels and cooler and follow in her father's footsteps, literally.

"Oh no you don't!" Allen stretched and managed to grab the ends of her hair, pulling her down. "I've had to sit through a train ride with Lavi and Kanda, and I almost had to search all of India for you. There's no way I'm letting you get away!"

Mikki looked up at him and squinted her eyes. "Alright, fine, just let me get my sunglasses though. You're very bright in the sunlight Albino Boy."

"Fine," he let her go and watched as she got her glasses from her beach bag. "What were you doing here with Master anyway?"

"We were just spending father-daughter time at the beach. True it's not good for my dating life, he keeps scaring away all the hotties." Mikki pouted. "But, I like spending time with my daddy. Oh, by the way, make sure you tell Komui that this was all his idea. He just came to me one night and told me we were going on a vacation. I couldn't say no to my Dad, that's like breaking one of the ten commandments. Honor your father and mother, you get the point."

"Yeah, whatever," he grabbed Mikki by the wrist.

"What are you doing?"

"I don't trust you."

"Aw, Awlley, that hurts my fweelings," Mikki stuck out her bottom lip.

"Don't talk like a child, you're a grown ass woman." Cross said, walking up behind them to get the cooler. He stopped and slowly turned back to his apprentice. "Get. Your. Hands. Off. My. Daughter." Allen quickly let go, but didn't keep his eyes off of her.

"Where's the rest of the group?" Mikki looked around noticing her Mangirl and Sexy Ginger were nowhere in sight.

"They're way down there. They brought their swimsuits."

"Even Kanda?"

"Even Kanda."

"Huh, I gotta see this. Bye Daddy!" Mikki blew him a kiss, but he ignored it walking away with his cooler full of beer. "Love you, you old grouch." Cross turned around and did something that was very rare. He gave her a loving smile, not his cocky one, but his smile that said Ditto. The he looked at Allen and gave him a look that said You touch my daughter, lose my daughter, break my daughter, or somehow manage to kill my daughter, I will behead you, bring you back to life, stab you to death, bring you back to life, hang you by your toes over a fire, bring you back to life, then finally eat you alive. Got it? Allen twitched as he walked away.

:::

"Oh, look at Kanda with his six pack...oh and Lavi's got one too!" Mikki looked at Allen and awkwardly looked away. "Ehm...Oh! I didn't think Komui would let Lenalee outside in a bikini." She looked down at her one piece that she was forced to wear since Cross wouldn't let her out of the Order in a bikini. Luckily though, she had the body to pull it off, until she got a wedgy, lied down wrong, got wet, or somehow got sand inside it. Okay, even her giant ego wouldn't let her say she could pull of a one piece. She was suddenly too embarrassed to have Kanda, Lenalee, or Lavi see her like this, especially since Lenalee was looking so good in that bikini. Why was Lavi so close to her? Did he just smile at her for no reason? Why does he keep looking at her? WHY MUST SHE LOOK SO DAMN GOOD IN THAT FREAKING BIKINI?

"OOOOWWW! Mikki I can't feel my arm anymore!" Allen squealed. While she was lost in her jealous thoughts, she must have reached out and grabbed Allen's arm and started digging her nails into him.

Mikki sighed, "I'm sorry Alley, let's just go home." She grabbed a towel and wrapped it around herself. She watched as Lavi picked Lenalee up and threw her in the water splashing Kanda...Mangirl. She suddenly got an idea that could save her day.

"Hi Lentils!" She hopped over to where Lenalee was standing.

"...Lentils?"

"Pfft, that's a good one." Lavi laughed as he looked at Mikki and smiled.


Mk, so tell me what you think. The next chapter I'll be experimenting with writing fight scenes. I suck at them, so I need practice! BTW-This will be my last update before school starts! So I apologize if I don't update as quickly as I usually do.~
