Chapter 9
"Wait, What The Hell?!" Kanda yelled as he quickly jumped out of the tub. Successfully dropping the unsuspecting kitten back into the water once more. Then Kanda reaches for the towel hanging on the wall beside the tub. "YOU ARE THE MOYASHI! How dare you trick me like that!" Kanda yelled at the kitten who hadn't popped back up from the deep water in the bathtub.
Kanda felt betrayed that Allen had turned himself into an animal just to make a fool of him. 'How the hell did he find out that I love cats?' Kanda wondered. He then waited for the kitten to make his way out of the tub to explain himself.
He waited, but then realized that he heard nothing coming from the tub. 'What the hell type of trick is he trying to pull now?' Kanda wondered to himself as he looked over the edge of the tub to search for the missing kitten. "Moyashi?"
There at the bottom of the tub was a small white bundle. Laying motionless. In the water. Kanda's anger was quickly replaced by fear for Allen. "Oh God!" He quickly reached into the water and pulled Allen out. There was no movement in his chest. No breath coming in and out of him.
…
"Shit!" Kanda yelled as he quickly tried to run to the hospital ward. He was quite the sight to be seen. Dripping wet, in nothing but a towel around his waist and holding a small, unmoving white kitten.
He burst into the ward and found the head nurse. "Quick! Help him! It's Allen! He's not breathing!" he practically yelled at her. Nodding she took the small white kitten into the examination room. After a few moments a crazed Komui comes running in asking why he got an urgent message to come right away to the hospital.
Kanda told him about how he was in the bath and he fell into the water and didn't come back up. Komui would have to get the rest of the story at a different time. Because right now he had to go and save the Moyashi. It only took about ten more minutes of waiting before the nurse and Komui came out holding Allen in a blanket.
...
Allen's eyes opened to the sight of Komui looking down on him with the head nurse standing right next to him. His whole body felt like jelly, well everything accept for his lungs. They felt like every breath he took was made of fire. After a moment of laying there Allen shifted and started to cough up the water that was resting inside of his lungs. After a moment of this he shuddered and fell back onto his side and just laid there, unable to do much else.
"Allen?" Komui asked the still shaky kitten. Still being in cat form Allen just looked at Komui in answer. "What the heck happened to you?" He asked the kitten who was now in the middle of being picked up and placed into a blanket.
Allen tried to answer but all that came out was a small mew. Komui then pulled him into his arms and walked out of the room. Kanda had been waiting outside, and was relieved to see that Allen was awake. "Well he is okay, but I'm am going to take him with me so I can make an antidote." Komui stated as he turned to walk to the Science Department. Kanda sighed and then walked off to his room so that he could change into his training clothes and wipe the day's events out of his mind.
On the way to his room he walked into Lavi, who had been heading in the o 0pposite direction, thus tripping and landing on the floor. The towel that was once around his waist, pooled on the floor around his thighs. "Whoa! Daaaaaaaamn Yuu! Nice show!" Lavi laughed at the fact that Kanda's whole back side was out in the open. "Shut the Fuck up Usagi! Leave me the hell alone!" Kanda yells. He then adjusts his towel and keeps on walking. Not wanting to think of what happened.
…
Lavi then walks over to Komui's office for the mission he had to get a briefing for. Once he opens the door there is a loud poof! As he looked around he sees a very naked, very tired looking Allen sitting on the couch in front of Komui's desk. "Oh Lavi. What good timing you have. Yet again, might I add. Would you do me the favor of bringing Allen to his room once again? Once he is there you can come back to get the briefing. Which is over... here?... no... over there maybe?... I think I left it..." Komui says while rummaging through the mass he calls a desk. He didn't notice the absence of Lavi and Allen who had already gotten up to head to the latter's room.
Allen pulls the blanket, that is wrapped around him, tighter and begins to shiver slightly. "Are you alright Al?" Lavi asks while watching the shiver run through his friend's body. Said friend opens his mouth to speak, but all that comes out is a small croak. So he closes his mouth and decides to just settle with nodding his head. "Hey, what was that poof that I heard earlier when I came in? And why are you coughing like that?" Lavi asks while watching the smaller boy stop mid stride and nearly bend over in a coughing fit.
Once he stops coughing he turns to Lavi and says in a horse voice "I'm okay. Just don't feel good." With this answer for now considering the rough shape Allen seemed to be in. It was then that they arrived at the room they were heading to. So Lavi pushes the door open and ushers the still shaking boy into the room. He then pushes him toward the bed and then goes to the dresser and pulls out a pair of boxers and throws them on the bed along with a pair of flannel pajama pants. "Here Allen, change and then get some sleep. You aren't looking too well. I will have Lenalee come check on you sometime." Said the red head before giving the younger the privacy to change and then sleep.
…
Kanda was told by Komui that after he had gotten changed he had to report to the office to discuss what happened to Allen. Walking up to the door he pauses just before opening the door because he can hear a ragged coughing coming from down the hallway. 'Oh well, it's probably just a stupid finder.' He thought to himself. Then he begrudgingly opened the door and walked in.
Komui looked up from his notes and saw Kanda come and sit in front of his desk. "Okay Kanda, please explain to me what happened when you first found Allen." So Kanda went into saying that early this morning he was walking the halls when he heard Allen's yowling coming from his room. "When I got there it stopped so I went to leave but it started up again. So I investigated." He then went on to tell of how he ended up getting food for him and keeping him in his room.
Minutes pass as Kanda retells his story. Komui sits in silence, just nodding his head. Lavi had made his way in along with Lenalee during the duration of the story. "So when I got up he just fell into the water and I didn't notice that he didn't come back up because I was yelling at him. As soon as I saw I brought him to the infirmary." Kanda finished.
"Holy shit! That's what happened to him?" Lavi exclaimed. "Dude, he is in a rough condition. I just got back from bringing him to his room and he could barely make it there. He nearly toppled over while just coughing. He couldn't even speak right, his voice was all raspy and it sounded pretty painful." Kanda just looked impassive at the statement.
"Oh that reminds me. Lena Lady, can you keep an eye on him? I have a mission to go on today so I can't help him any." Lavi says while turning to said green haired girl. "Lavi, I'm sorry but I can't. I'm going on this mission with you. I got my briefing earlier today." She says with an apologetic smile.
"Well he needs someone to look after him!" Lavi exclaimed, being concerned for the wellbeing of his small friend. So he turned to Komui. "Who will look after him?" Komui though for a moment before turning to Kanda who had just been sitting on the couch in front of the desk the whole time. "Well Kanda, the fact that you nearly drowned Allen earns you some sort of punishment. So I say that it is you who will look after him until he gets better." He said with a grin.
Okay guys. I'm sooooooo sorry this took so long to get out. I've been so stressed out between school and home that it's not even funny. BUT! I did make this one longer to make up for it. I have to admit that I never saw what I wrote coming... It escalated quickly. I thank all of you followers, and hope you enjoyed :D I am planning on making the next chapter the last one. So until next time!
