~Chapter 8: First Kiss~
After being on the train for like 2-4 or even longer, they finally arrived at the Black Order. Currently right now, Kaoru is pretty much shocked that she had to climb the dangerous-looking plateau in order to get to the Black Order's HQ.
"Are you serious? No way in hell am i climbing that thing..."
Her face was holding a serious expression, staring-no, she's rather glaring at both Yuki and Kanda. Yuki stayed silent and was looking as emotionless as always, while Kanda, he's trying to ignore Kaoru's glare and tried to focus on something else, which was quite impossible.
"Well, too bad you're going to climb that thing no matter what... Don't forget that you've promised me that you'll join the Black Order. And the Black Order is located at the top of this thing. In other words, climb it."
Yuki's voice was cold and serious. She was standing next to Kanda, but after hearing what Kaoru had said, she walked in front of her, and pierced into Kaoru's dark blue eyes with her visible eye, but that's not the only thing that's frightening. Yuki had this serious murderous intention in her eye, that seems to say 'don't mess with me'.
Kanda was still as silent as ever, trying not to anger the black and silver hair girl with red eyes that looks like blood, especially when she's carrying her swords behind her back.
'As i thought, no one can beat her in an argument...'
He looked at the emotionless girl who's still piercing into Kaoru's eyes with just her visible left eye. Yuki has this cold and emotionless expression on her face like always, which was most likely permanent, but except she doesn't have murderous-looking eyes like right now.
He made a mental note to himself once again, do not ever try to wake Yuki up when she's in a deep slumber unless you have a death wish.
"Now, climb it, before i lose my sanity..."
Kaoru sighed, and Kanda decided to go with the flow. They spent half an hour, climbing the dangerous-looking plateau, with Yuki staying behind a few meters while the other two climb, making sure nobody fall off while climbing.
Finally, when they reached the top, Kaoru took a deep breath and breathe out. She looked at the Order's HQ, and noticed that it's a campanile-like building. They walked towards a huge wall, and something that resembles a face suddenly reach out to them, lights flash out of its eyes and began doing a scan at Kaoru.
"Hey... What is this thing doing?"
"Scanning you."
The huge face had a huge smile on its face, and returned back to normal after scanning Kaoru.
"You pass!"
Soon, the gates began opening, and they walked in calmly, well Kanda and Yuki walked in calmly, while Kaoru walked in rather hesitantly. The moment they walked in, everyone crowded to them.
"Welcome back!"
"Who is that girl with you guys?"
"Why didn't you tell us that you were coming back?"
"Did you complete your mission?"
"Was there an Innocence?"
So many questions had overwhelmed both Kanda and Yuki, who both stayed silent, ignoring the questions asked and continue on their way to Komui's office with Kaoru following silently.
After a few minutes of walking towards Komui's office, Allen came out of nowhere with Lavi and Lenalee by his side, oh and Bookman as well. They were walking towards Kanda and Yuki and a slightly surprised Kaoru by their side.
"Yuki! Kanda! How was the mission? We just got back. Are you guys going Komui-san's office to report as well?"
Yuki nodded her head and continued her way towards Komui's office with Kanda and Kaoru, and of course Allen's group as well. Allen was talking with Lavi and Lenalee happily, while Kanda and Bookman was listening to some part of the conversation, occasionally. Yuki and Kaoru were now walking side by side together, clearly showing that they were not interested in the conversation or have any intentions of joining the conversation.
As soon as they reached Komui's office, Komui jumped out of nowhere and hugged Lenalee, while Yuki, Kaoru, Kanda, and Bookman all stared blankly at the two siblings, while the others smiled sheepishly at the two.
Minutes and minutes had pass ever since Komui had jumped out of nowhere and hugged Lenalee. Now, he was hugging Lenalee like she's some precious treasure, well, technically, she is a precious treasure to Komui.
However, as time pass, Yuki is clearly showing that her patience is running thin, and she going to snap very soon... Like now...
"Shut the hell up with your nonsense... We've been waiting forever to give you our reports for the mission... Also, there's somebody who would like to join the Order... Now, if you don't mind me interrupting your reunion, i would like to introduce her and give you the Innocence that we managed to get when we were still doing the mission..."
Her voice was soft, yet low, showing many hints that she's snapping, and she's getting impatient, also showing that she's threatening them. Kaoru chuckled softly, Kanda shakes his head at Komui, Bookman sighed, feeling pity for the guy, while the others are quite surprised with that side of her.
Out of all of them, Komui had a priceless expression on his face, his face beginning to pale. He gulps and backed away from his precious Lenalee for now, and lead them into the office.
"U-um, so what's your report for the mission? And where's the Innocence? Also, where's the newbie?"
Yuki wordlessly stepped beside, and revealed Kaoru. She also took out the Innocence that they collected from their mission out of her pocket. She revealed the Innocence and showed it to everyone, and silently hands it to Komui.
"This is Kaoru Kiyo. She joined us while we were still trying to complete the mission... She's the Accommodator of her kusarigama... She can be an exorcist and help us battle the Akuma and the Earl. She'll benefit us greatly."
Kaoru wordlessly took out her kusarigama and showed it to the others, excluding Kanda and Yuki, who have seen the weapon itself already.
"Wait, does that mean, she's already trained with the weapon itself, so she's all ready for battle?"
"Yes, that's right. Is there anymore questions?"
Yuki looked around the room, everyone were silent, instead of replying, they nodded their heads. Seeing that no one's going to say anything, Yuki grabbed Kaoru's hand and walked away, while Komui stood up rather abruptly, and rushed over towards Yuki and Kaoru, who are walking towards Hevlaska's chamber without a single care in life.
After a few minutes of walking towards Hevlaska's chamber, they finally arrived at their destination. Yuki brought out the Innocence from her pocket and gave it to Komui who gave it to Hevlaska to keep while searching for the one who can use the Innocence.
"Ah, before i forget, Hevlaska... This is our new member, Kaoru Kiyo~"
Hevlaska slightly nodded her head and used her tendrils like arms to pick Kaoru up who was no longer surprised, now that she had joined the Black Order. Kaoru, like Yuki had stayed calm and silent, and didn't even try to resist.
As Hevlaska picks Kaoru up, she wrapped the tendrils or her arms around Kaoru's kusarigama and leans in and lets their foreheads touch, exactly how she did it with Yuki.
"10%... 38%... 52%... 74%... 86%... 91%..."
"You have 91% synchronization for you Innocence... I'm glad you were calm when i picked you up, just like when i picked up Yuki, i didn't mean no harm..."
She soon lets Kaoru down and allows her to stand on the ground safely, next to Komui, who smiled at her. Yuki nodded her head at Hevlaska and Kaoru and had a barely visible small smile on her face.
"Your Innocence will produce a 'Destroyer of Death'... You're one of the very few people to create hope for our dark future. It's truly a miracle that we have talented people such as you and Yuki and many other exorcists that will create hope for all of us..."
'Destroyer of Death? Death... Does that mean 'Akuma'? She'll be the one to destroy the Akuma? Wait... If Hevlaska said that i'm 'God's Miracle', Allen is 'Destroyer of Time', and Kaoru is 'Destroyer of Death'... That sure seems like our prophecy has some connections to each other...'
Yuki stayed silent as she continues thinking through the prophecy that Hevlaska had told them. Kaoru walked over to Yuki and grabbed her hand and started pulling her away from Hevlaska's chamber, snapping her out of deep thoughts.
"You're my tour guide, Yuki... At least, that's what that guy Komui had said..."
Yuki nodded her head as she begins walking side by side next to Kaoru. Kaoru started looking around the Order with curiosity and astonishment. Lavi, suddenly popped out of nowhere and hugged Yuki from behind, giving her a surprise hug.
"Yuki~ How are you?"
"Good evening... I'm doing great... How about you, Lavi?"
Lavi grinned as he still hugs Yuki, as if cuddling her like a little teddy bear. While Lavi continues hugging Yuki, Kaoru stares blankly at Lavi and Yuki, until one word came into her mind that can only describe Lavi.
'Usagi...'
Lavi finally let go of his tight grip on Yuki, and turned and looked at Kaoru with soft, welcoming eyes, and grinned at her.
"Yo! I'm Lavi! Nice to meet you! Oh, and welcome to the Black Order~!"
Kaoru slightly smiled at Lavi's bright, cheerful personality, which was surprising, because making her smile was a hard thing, but Lavi seems to be making it so easy for her to smile. Yuki stared at them, and there was a spark of evilness in her eyes. She silently walks behind Lavi and pushes him on to Kaoru, and made sure he does fall on to her.
Before Lavi or Kaoru could realize it, as they fell down on to the hard ground, they were in a uncomfortable position and their lips were touching each other, to simplify this situation, they're in a weird position on the ground while kissing each other... Unintentionally...
Both Lavi and Kaoru's eyes widen and were blushing bright red, both were frozen solid, unable to get out of the position that they're in. Yuki took this chance and took a few pictures of them for emergencies.
However, even with the snapping sound of the camera and bright flashing light, they are still in the shocked, frozen solid state that they are in. Yuki putted away the camera, and walked near Lavi and Kaoru.
She grabbed both of them on the shoulders and broke their kiss apart, although they were still frozen. She soon made them leaning against each other, with Kaoru's hands in Lavi's red-orange hair, while Lavi's were around Kaoru's petite waist. Yuki had once again made them kiss, but this time, she made it look like they were a couple a long time ago.
Yuki took one last picture of the two before silently walking off towards the cafeteria.
While Lavi and Kaoru are still frozen, several members of the Science Division had spotted the two kissing which was going to be chaos very soon. After at least 10 minutes or so, Lavi and Kaoru had finally snapped out of shocked, frozen states and backed away from each other with bright red faces.
Kaoru held one hand over her mouth, touching her lips with so many thoughts, while Lavi had done the same action as she did.
'My first kiss... I had my first kiss with somebody right after i joined the Order... Heck, i don't even know him...'
"I'm sorry, Kaoru!"
Lavi literally ran away from Kaoru in embarrassment, unable to forget the image of them kissing one another so passionately. Although, in reality, he didn't really want to forget the two kisses they've had with each other.
Back to Kaoru, currently right now, her face was still bright red, probably redder than a tomato right now. Her heart is beating like crazy inside of her. Kaoru could feel her heart beating like crazy, and was wondering why.
'Why am i reacting like this?'
While Kaoru is lost within her deep thoughts, Allen came out of nowhere and tapped Kaoru's shoulder, making her flinch out of surprise.
"Sorry if i had surprised you..."
Kaoru turned around and her dark blue eyes met with gray eyes which seems to be mesmorizing. Kaoru immediately stop blushing the moment her eyes met with Allen's.
"You're the new girl that Yuki and Kanda brought back, right?"
When Kaoru heard Yuki's name, her face darken and she grabbed Allen's shoulders, not too hard, nor gently. Only one word is able to describe Kaoru right now, 'devil', or actually thats what she is right now, with that murderous look on her face.
'That Yuki! How dare she push that red-orange haired guy on to me..! Not only that, he stole my first kiss and i don't even know him! I'm so going to find out her weakness and kill her right on the spot... I'm going to have my revenge right now... However, even though, i may not know that red-ornage hair guy's name, but i don't really regret having my first kiss with him, and he does kind look hot.. Ugh, great, now i sound like a obsess fan-girl...'
Allen stayed silent, and tried reading Kaoru's face, and could tell a certain somebody did something to her. He laughed sheepishly as he thought of only one person.
'Yuki... Did she do something to Kaoru? She looks really angry right now, looking like she'll murder somebody...'
"You're looking for Yuki, right?"
"Yes, thats right.. Where is she? I have some unfinished business with her... Tell me where she is..."
"Well, the last time i saw her... She was with Lavi... He was screaming at about something about 'first kiss' or something like that... Well, it's just a few minutes ago, i'll take you to her..."
He took her hand and began walking towards the cafeteria, with Kaoru's hand in his, dragging her along.
'No way! I'm going to that red-orange guy again! I'm not ready for that yet! Stop! Stop! Stop!'
As they finally reached the cafeteria, Yuki was sitting down, eating her meal, while Lavi was sitting next to her, still seem to be screaming at her. Allen began to walk towards them, dragging Kaoru along easily.
"Why did you push me on to her? Answer me!"
"Its called a greeting... I heard that people from America kisses people as a greeting... So its just a greeting for people, no big idea..."
'A greeting?'
The same exact thoughts ran through everyone's mind, including the ones that are not even joining the conversation. Kaoru was turning bright red, nopt from embarrassment, but from anger. She managed to free her hand from Allen's hand, and stomped towards Yuki, and took out her kusarigama. She was about to swing the sickle at Yuki's head, but she leaned back and somehow managed to kick the sickle away and slightly kicked Kaoru's stomach at the same time.
Everyone watched, almost everyone wanted to see Yuki in action, and the new girl in action. However, too bad for them that Yuki had finished her meal already and was able to avoid violence, and started to head back for her room.
Kaoru tried getting up, trying to endure the pain that Yuki had inflicted. Lavi stared in amazement at Yuki's disappearing figure, and looked at Kaoru. He smiled and reaches out his hand for Kaoru.
Kaoru looked up and stares at Lavi, and had a small smile that is hardly seen, but some can. She grabbed Lavi's hand and stood up. Soon, she sat down next to Lavi and began talking happily to each other.
There was a small smile on her face, but it was an honest, and innocent smile, she started looking like an innocent teenage girl.
'It's been a while since i've had a smile on my face...'
The smile was still on her face, while talking to the laughing Lavi. Maybe, Kaoru really is slowly falling in love with Lavi.
Allen smiled at the scene before him, and looked towards the direction where Yuki had left. He began to walk towards that direction, and finally reached Yuki's room. He knocked on it softly, and there was only silence. He was about to knock again, but then a soft voice stopped his actions.
"What are you doing?"
Out of nowhere, Yuki had suddenly appeared behind Allen, surprising him. She seems to have stayed at the Science Division for a while, before going back to her room.
"Yuki..."
She walked in front of him and opened the door to her room. After setting in, she had customized the room in her own way before leaving for her first mission. The wallpapers were black, yet there were small silver stars that seems to glow in the dark. The window was open, and the curtains were also open. There was a small lamp on the desk and the picture of her and dark raven haired boy. In the corner, there was her instrument case, and on the sides, there were bookshelves with thick books.
Everything changed from the last time Allen had came into her room. It seems that Yuki hadn't customized the room, until now. Allen stared in astonishment, and walked into the room.
"Close the door..."
Allen did as she said, and after he turned around, Yuki's blood red eyes met with his gray eyes. Her face was a few inches away from his, and his eyes were staring into her eyes, and for some reason, he began staring at her lips.
'Her lips look so soft... I wonder how it feels if they were on mine? Wait... When i have such thoughts of Yuki?'
He suddenly blushed, but not as bright red as Kaoru and Lavi, and shooked his head. Yuki had her head tilted again, and soon sat down on her bed. He walked towards her and sat down next to her.
There was only silence, a comfortable silence between them. Nothing awkward between them, it was just comfortable. Soon, Allen's hand found Yuki's and began holding it in his, tightly.
