I think the result of my poll (what should the song be about) is pretty obvious in this chap. It is a mix between a number of high ranking results.
Chapter Nine"A little excited are we?" Kanda smirked.
"Stop talking about your self" Allen said sticking out his tongue. This tongue was the perfect target for Kanda who started to suck on the protruding organ.
Releasing his tongue so Allen could breathe properly Kanda let him gulp a few mouthfuls of air before pashing him again. Kneading his but a little making Allen squeak opening his mouth a little. Kanda took this opportunity and entered his own tongue into the open mouth. Allen whimpered a little at the contact and Kanda smiled against his lips.
"What are you two doing?" Came the voice of an adult.
Crap. Busted.
"Making out what does it look like?" Kanda deigned the teacher with a response before returning to his previous activities.
Allen pulled away blushing. "Kanda who is it? I can't see them your blocking my view."
"Nobody," Kanda told him moving his hands so they were once again cupping his thighs holding him up.
"Mr. Kanda can you please stop manhandling your peer and move out of the store room, please." It wasn't a question.
Dropping Allen softly to his feet he turned around to glare at the teacher, once he moved Allen could see that it was Tyki Mikk who had found them.
Thank God, he thought to himself. At least if we get punished it won't be as severe as the punishment some other teachers would dole out.
Tyki apparently thought it would be more advantageous to listen to their explanation of their actions in his office. This was probably for two reasons being; other students and teachers wouldn't over hear; and Kanda was still kind of groping Allen's arse.
Reaching his office Tyki sat down and crossed his fingers to lean his head on them.
"Can you please explain, or at least make some attempt to explain, why you were making out in a school store room?" he asked sighing softly. Jesus kids could be a bitch sometimes. Why had he become a teacher again? Oh yeah, a lot of students looked hot and were desperate to put out. Ah…the advantages of being young!
"Now preferably while we have yet to starve to death," he added "while two of us have yet to starve," he amended as Allen's stomach on the reminder of food let out a loud, ravenous growl.
"We were making out because I wanted to get in Allen's pants and fuck him." Kanda said straight out.
Tyki blinked. "Okay, Allen can you…" he flashed Kanda a worried look, (who says things like that?) "Corroborate, and expand on lover-boys comments?"
"Um…. we were in class and there was a riot because Kanda got angry at people talking about who wanted to, or has, slept with me. I then kissed Kanda in front of everyone and he was pissed because most people didn't know we went out. After that I said it was better than some of the things I could have done. Things kind of lead off from there after we took Ms. Lotto to the infirmary."
Tyki coughed, that was a bit different to what he thought. "What was that last piece about taking Ms Lotto to the infirmary?"
Kanda hitched up on eyebrow.
"Oh…never mind." Tyki figured out the answer from Kanda's look and the obvious.
Allen and Kanda stood there awkwardly for a moment while the teacher tried to decide what to do. He didn't think this sort of thing was worth staying late for detention or anything. I mean he always makes out at school, it not like there is anyt6hing wrong with it. Of course it didn't occur to him that making out with teachers and students especially was kind of wrong.
Looking towards the two boys Tyki wasn't really shocked to fin that Kanda once again his hands on the younger boy. He couldn't really blame him; looking Allen up and down he could admit that the boy was hot. Sure he was short but he made up for that with his sweet, yet sexy smile; perfectly shaped and moulded hair and eyebrows (eyebrow fetish, who knew?); smooth skin leading down to shoulders which where rounded delicately like a girls. Flat slightly muscled stomach (his work uniform sometimes didn't leave much to the imagination), shapely legs and best of that entire round, perfect, smoking ass. Tyki was practically drooling over it.
It was lucky for him that Kanda was not looking at that precise moment.
Tyki startled the lovers when suddenly he announced. "No punishment, now get out!"
He had a little problem to take care of courtesy of his blossoming erotic thoughts about Allen. Kanda would defiantly kill him if he knew.
"What the hell was that all about?" Kanda asked furiously. "He stops our make out session and then drags us all the way to his office only to skip out on a punishment."
Allen looked confused. "Isn't getting no punishment a good thing," he asked.
Kanda turned to give his attention to the small, white haired boy.
"That's not the point," he muttered thoroughly distracted by Allen's cute confused pout.
Allen sighed; sometimes he just couldn't understand Kanda.
Together they made their way to the cafeteria, the bell was about to ring so they didn't bother going to class.
As they sat down at their usual table Kanda was startled to hear Allen begin to hum a little melody. It was that damn song again. Allen was staring into space apparently unaware that he was making any noise whatsoever. As Allen began to sing the first verse of the song Kanda just listened. Allen had such a beautiful, sweet voice. Like and angel it was so pure.
Heading into his second verse Allen began to comprehend he was singing when another voice joined him. He turned around and saw Kanda with his head lying in his arms on the table. The clear tenor of the Japanese boys voice was smooth, and rich. He hadn't realised it when they were at Anita's but Allen recognised Kanda's voice and was able to recognise it as a good voice.
Allen continued to stare at Kanda's he changed the melody he was singing slightly to harmonise more affectively with his partner. He blended the polyphonic melodies perfectly and the song became so much more. As it was it was a simple song that wasn't filled with ornamentation like modern music was. Kanda's and Allen's voices matched perfectly as they both continued to sing, the timbre of their voice changed slightly as the song ended leaving their voices ringing around the room.
Both were startled out of their respective reveries to the sound of applause. Allen turned around and Kanda opened his eyes to see that the bell had gone quite a while ago.
A number of students and staff were staring at them with eyes wide and mouths agape. Lavi and Lenalee were sitting across from them (When did they get there?) shooting them questioning looks.
Kanda sighed and Allen blushed. Moving so he was standing Kanda held his hand out to Allen who took it and they left the lunchroom quietly.
As soon as they left the cafeteria burst out into conversation. Allen and Kanda kept silent though with their faces looking towards the ground, hands still linked.
"What the hell?" Lavi exclaimed to Lenalee as soon as they had left.
"I don't know," Lenalee replied. "Did you see their expressions though, they looked so sad. I thought I was going to cry."
"Are you kidding I was crying just listening to them singing. Seriously though, we knew Allen could sing, …but who would have thought Kanda could too?"
"Why would they be singing here though? That's a bit odd?"
"A bit? Hell it's the weirdest thing I've ever seen and I live with the Panda. You should see some of the stuff that guy deals with. Whatever it was though, we need to find out what the hell happened."
"Agreed."
With that the two of them headed out to do some espionage involving the singing duo.
Only half aware of what they were doing Kanda and Allen moved out of the school together and walked up the street in silence. Heading towards Allen's house they didn't notice two shadows following them.
"Its lucky for us Cross still isn't home otherwise you probably wouldn't be allowed in. he usually has 'a guest/ or guests' at this time." Allen said laughing half-heartedly.
Walking up the driveway Allen also made the mistake of leaving the gates open, allowing their followers to also enter.
Opening the front door they were hardly prepared for the small golden ball that came flying up into Allen's face.
"Timcampy!" Allen exclaimed as he extracted the ball of fluff from his face. "Where have you been? Cross told me to look after you but you disappeared. You better not have been eating the furniture again." Allen gave the fluff a chiding look.
Seeing the perplexed look on Kanda's face Allen decided to explain.
"This is Timcampy, remember the note Cross left me, he said to look after him."
"What is it?" Kanda asked in disgust.
"A cat, silly." Allen gave Kanda a look that said that was obvious.
Kanda snorted, "No offence but I can't really see the man that wrote that note having a cat."
Allen laughed with a dark aura coming over him. "He only got one because it keeps strangers out and his lady friends think cats are sexy."
"How does it keep stranger out?" Kanda frowned.
"He likes to bite."
Enough said obviously. By now they were in the lounge room and they both sat on the couch. They had stopped talking for a moment and sat in an awkward silence.
"So I guess we have to talk about back then now right?" Allen began.
"I think we should." Kanda supplied.
"You are him aren't you, the boy from the institute?"
"Yeah and you're the one from the hospital right?"
Allen nodded. How serendipitous could life get? They had known each other as children and they had met up again as young adults. There was obviously something drawing them together.
"How did your treatment go?" Allen asked softly, not wanting to hurt the other boy, "I never got to see you again before it ended."
"They couldn't fix me. They tried every drug and therapy but they can't stop it." Kanda said frowning. He wanted to remain stoic but talking about it, even in front of Allen hurt.
"So do you still see the flowers?" Allen asked. A nod.
The pair listening from the entrance hall looked at each other. What the hell was going on? Allen and Kanda must have known about each other before meeting at school. What was all this talk about institutes and therapies? And flowers?
"I'm fine," Kanda continued. "What about you, I tried to get Tydoll to get you out of there but the doctors wouldn't let you go."
"You did that? For me?" Allen ducked his head under Kanda's arm so they were sitting close together.
"When they came an took me away from the institute again, they did more experiments and said that whatever was wrong with me happened before the car accident. They said that the fourteenth was some type of manifestation of my subconscious or some bull crap like that." Allen snarled to himself "That was just an excuse because they couldn't figure it out and just wanted to shock me more though."
"They pawned me off on Cross after two years, saying that I was a failed case (though you can tell they meant specimen)," Allen ground out tears starting to fall.
"SHHHHhhh." Kanda hushed the boy tucking his head against his chest and rocking them slowly back and forth. In reality, although Kanda was trying to be supportive, he just wanted to go find the doctors that kept them imprisoned and just rip all their head off. Or worse.
Once Allen had calmed down enough to start crying a though occurred to Kanda.
"When we were at the club, the little girl told me that everyone there knew the song as well. I didn't think anyone would remember it."
"Well you remembered." Allen said. "The others who were at the club are part of the institutes experiments. They have an artificially implanted genome that makes their mitochondria different to ours. Or something like that, I was never good with that type of thing. If you really want to know about it ask Tyki, he was part of the Noah experiment as well."
Kanda looked a bit thunderstruck…just a bit. "How did he get to be a teacher if he was part of the institute?" Kanda asked incredulous.
Allen frowned at him. "They're not like us. They just have different DNA. They don't age as quickly, and their view of the world is a bit different is all."
Kanda looked up suspicious. "What do you mean...their view of the world?"
Allen scrunched up his face. "Their personalities are kind of exaggerated a bit I guess." He struggled to explain. "Take Road and Tyki for example. Road is a bit childish and sadistic so that trait is accentuated. She likes to hurt things and play games. Tyki on the other hand was a bit older when he was changed, and this had its due effect. He likes…lets say pleasure."
Kanda deadpanned. "What do you mean pleasure?"
Allen laughed a bit nervously. "He likes to take pleasure in certain things. Gambling poker, etc."
Kanda gave him an unbelieving look. "So he's a nympho?"
"Basically. They're kind of stuck with the attitude of how old they were when they first started being changed." Allen shrugged, he didn't really care. He was empathetic towards them; it was a shame that so many people had their lives screwed up because of the stupid doctors.
"If that is the case he still shouldn't be allowed in the school." Kanda was saying.
Assuming he meant Tyki, Allen tried to defend his friend. " He's not so bad once you get used to him."
Kanda was about to make a snide remark when Allen held his hand up to signal they should keep quiet. "Did you hear something?" he whispered.
Listening intently Allen gestured for Kanda to do the same. Soon enough they heard what sounded remarkably like a whispered conversation between two people.
Kanda drew Mugen and approached the entrance hall where the sound was coming from. Allen moved forward also but Kanda kept him at bay by placing his arm around his navel. Kanda held a finger to his lips indicating they should keep silent.
They jumped around the corner.
"Crap!" Kanda diverted the path of his sword as he saw whose head it was about to come into contact with.
"WTF? Why the hell are you here doing here?"
Lavi and Lenalee looked down ashamed. Lavi was sweating profusely, he was sure that if the sword had been coming down on his head and not Lenalee's he would be dead right now. He was still in a fare amount of danger as it was, at least that was the vibe given off by both Kanda and Allen.
"We just wanted to know what was up." Lenalee explained pouting with puppy dog eyes. Trying in vain to appeal to their soft side. Unfortunately for her Kanda did not have a soft side (unless it can to his Moyashi), and Allen's soft side was presently out of the house and had left a message saying he would be back later.
"Wow Allen! I DIDN'T KNOW YOU LIVED IN A HOUSE THIS FABULOUS." Lavi yelled trying to distract them, but no dice.
"Not going to work Lavi," Allen regretfully informed the hyperactive red head.
"Please Allen, I thought you were my friend you wouldn't do anything to us right?" Lenalee said pulling out the water works. Seeing Allen start to shake his head she made up the best way to get out of her situation she could. "I'll give you pie!"
That was satisfactory in stopping Allen's advance, he was hungry after all, and they had missed lunch.
"What type of pie?" Allen inquired.
"Any type you want." Lenalee said getting desperate.
Allen thought for a bit then grinned. "You're forgiven," he said graciously.
"Thanks Allen, but can you call off your tame samurai please?" Lavi said his voice trembling.
Allen moved forward and extracted Kanda's sword from Lavi's bandana and made Kanda re-sheath it (I don't want to go into details about what acts he would have to preform to get Kanda to do this. It just wouldn't be suitable even for a fic of this rating).
After sorting all of that out Allen made them all some coffee and they sat in his lounge room watching an early afternoon movie on Austar.
"Allen what was all of that about 'the institute'?" Lenalee asked nervously.
Allen and Kanda looked at each other communicating silently with each other. Kanda nodded for Allen to explain a little.
"When we were little Kanda and I were in a medical facility. The official reason for my being there was a car crash, the car crash that gave me this scar and killed Mana. Kanda was there because his family had died and they picked him up saying he was mentally scared or some shit. The point of it though was to pick up people no-one would care about and do experiments and tests on them."
Lenalee gasped, Lavi just sighed he figured it was something like that. He had heard about places like this before from his gramps and they were often government funded which just made it twice as bad.
"We knew each other there but then the Moyashi was taken away for some reason, and we were separated. We didn't even have names in that place so we didn't know who we were to each other until we figured it out ourselves." Kanda added. "Stupid bastards didn't want us meeting each other outside and rebelling against their facility."
"What was with the singing and all that though?" Lenalee asked still curious about it.
"That song used to be part of the Moyashi's treatment. He would have to play it or sing it once every morning and you could hear it all over the place. It was weird because when they put him in a sound proof room you could still hear it. It pissed them off no end when they couldn't stop it." Kanda paused to laugh. "It kind of got stuck in my head though. When Allen sang that the night we went to his work after you guys went home. That's when it clicked about who we were. It was a bit strange we didn't recognise each other at first sight though. I mean Allen's pretty distinctive."
Lavi stared at Kanda open mouthed.
"What now baka usagi?" Kanda asked his forehead twitching.
"I think that that is the most I have ever, ever, ever heard you say in one go. I think Allen is being a good influence on you Yu-chan?
"Shut up, Lavi, Yu can speak for how long he wants. Whenever he wants to."
Lenalee turned to Allen and copied Lavi in the way she stared at him. "I think he is right, Kanda's defiantly a bad influence on Allen."
"SHUT UP!" Allen and Kanda both yelled. Though inside they were kind of happy. At least they didn't have to keep their past a secret from their friends anymore. Well at least that part of their past.
Rei; "I don't think I liked that chapter."
Kanda; "How the fuck can you not like it? You wrote it you dumbass!"
Allen; "I understand how you feel. There wasn't enough action in it."
Kanda; "What do you mean by action?"
Rei; *smirks* "I know."
Allen; *sweat drop* "I don't think we are on the same wavelength here."
Rei; "Why not I know we would all like some action. Its not a secret, you know young people and their hormones. All that crap."
Lavi; "You should let me get some action, Lenalee too we haven't had any yet in this fic."
Rei; "Well if you really wanted to we could get together at the end of the next chap. You me Lenalee, some fun…if you know what I mean."
Allen & Lavi; "What the hell?"
Allen; "I thought you were straight?"
Rei; "There's nothing to say a girl can't swing both ways. And I definitely would if it was for those two."
Lavi; "I'm not sure whether to be flattered or scared."
Kanda; "Scared. Definitely scared."
