I want to give out a thanks to those who reviewed, I really appreciate, THANK YOU !! And sorry for the mucho late update. Expect much more of them, unfortunately.
Disclaimer: I don't own -Man. I miss it though, it hasn't been running for SO long. The anime is done, but the manga is on a hiatus. I NEED MY WEEKLY DOSE OF EXORCISTS, HOSHINO!
And i hope you guys realize by now that this is pretty much a CRACK FIC.
Hakaku Square Hotel was its name. When Allen and the others saw the sign, they wondered why a Japanese Hotel was in the middle of France.
"Because it is. So shut up." Kanda growled and opened the door. Lavi, Lenalee and Allen exchanged glances and finally followed Kanda in.
They walked up to the receptionist, who was a small Japanese lady. She had a bright smile on, especially when seeing a fellow Japanese. Kanda and her began to speak the foreign language fluently. The other three Exorcist stood an awkward distance away from each other. Then a sudden thought hit Lavi.
"Oi, Kanda! Are you and Lenalee sharing rooms?" He jumped beside his shoulder, glancing at the papers."Eh!? One queen sized bed?!"
Kanda inhaled sharply, "No shit. We are married." Lenalee gasped and backed away slowly, while Allen's expression was murderous.
Lavi glared at his teammate, then turned to the receptionist. His voice began to speak in the richest of the French language. Lenalee gaped at the sudden change. She always had a thing with French. Their language was so romantic. Lavi backed away, clearly proud of himself.
"What did you do?" Kanda barked.
"Lenalee is sharing rooms with me."
"Eh?" Her and Allen yelled. Kanda sheathed Mugen half way.
"What are you trying to pull, eyepatch?"
Allen shoved both men away and leaned in toward the receptionist. "I want you to get us two rooms, two beds each."
The lady nodded slowly, not sure what to make up of the English. Finally, they received their keys and walked upstairs.
"So who is staying with Lenalee?" Allen asked in a small voice.
"Is that suppose to be a question?" Kanda yelled harshly.
"You guys stop fighting-" Lenalee began.
"I think the best way to go is if she sleeps alone." Lavi suggested.
"What would the point of us being here be, bookman?"
"Enough!" Lenalee snapped. "I'm sharing rooms with Kanda, you guys. No, don't interrupt me. I really don't feel all that happy with this mission either." she said, facing the three, "But if we don't get along, this mission will be a failure. And I don't want my first mission for so long to turn out like that, got it?!"
The three was silent at first, and finally Lavi shrugged, "What ever you say, Lenalee."
Allen nodded, and Kanda turned his head away in acceptance.
"Okay, now-" The hall was suddenly filled with many voices. The exorcist turned their heads to meet a crowd of young girls, Lenalee's age, filling the hall. They were accompanied by a strict old looking woman, who led them. The four leaned back against the wall to let them pass, Lenalee on the other side. Every pair of eyes in the group of 20 were on the three boys.
"Oh my god. He's so...cute!" A girl squealed, passing them. Lenalee furrowed her brows.
"Eeeek! He just winked at me!"
"Who?"
"The red head!"
"Hello." Allen said.
"H-hi..." A girl waved, dreamily, but was pushed by her friends to hurry up.
Lenalee crossed her arms and childishly turned her head away, many girls gazed at her and smirked.
As the parade of girls passed, the four friends reunited. "What was that all about?"
"The receptionist said that a group of British girls from a private school are going to be staying here." Kanda said, watching the last of them turn the hall.
"Great..." Allen muttered, "If Akuma attack..."
"This is a dream come true!" Lavi roared, "SO MANY BEAUTIFUL GIRLS! STRIKE!" Lenalee elbowed him in the stomach.
"Ah-ow. Sorry, Lenalee." Lavi smiled, clutching his stomach.
"No way!" Lenalee exclaimed, "A hot spring!"
Kanda looked over his shoulder as he folded his shirt, "Yeah."
After giving a second thought, Lenalee realized that nothing would come good out of a hot spring. Dread washed over her. She turned around to her bed, giving one last hopeless glance at the boiling pool.
Nothing good at all.
--
Lenalee was roaming the hotel, looking for a place to eat dinner or something. Once or twice, those girls from the private school would pass, always in a group of three or four. She recognized them by the clothes they wore. A fluffy dress with pink laces. Their hairs were always tied up in a pony tail, and were usually blonde.
This trend was broken when Lenalee spotted a familiar figure in the main corridor. She quickly searched for a place to hide, but he spotted her immediately.
"Oh, Lenalee!" Allen waved, "I need to talk to you."
He ran up to her hesitant figure. "Hi. What do you need?"
He shook his head, "I just want to talk." he boldly took his hand in hers and led her to a sofa. "Listen,"
She knew this wasn't going anywhere pretty.
"I may not be the most intelligent person, I know. So please understand me. I know this isn't in my place to judge you or your actions. Lenalee, we've been friends for how long?"
"About three and a half years, Allen-kun." She automatically responded. Lenalee never lost track of how long she knew a friend. After all, her friends mean the world to her, so what kind of person would she be if she didn't know her world thoroughly.
"Y-yeah. Well, you've always been there for me. I also try to be there for you as much as possible. And maybe, this might not be the perfect time to say this because you might not really need me to be there..."
Lenalee shook her head, confused, "Allen-kun, I don't know what you're saying."
"I think you made a big mistake in marrying Kanda." His voice died to a whisper. He stared at the ground while saying this.
Lenalee bit back a laugh. For a minute there she thought this was some kind of confession. "Allen-kun, to tell you the-"
"No. Please listen to me." Allen pleaded, squeezing her hand. "Even though we bicker all the time, I believe Kanda is a great man. He is trustworthy, loyal, and strong."
"Allen-"
"No! Look, I understand that you might...lo-...love him," he flinched, "but Lenalee, as your...best friend..." -was it just her or did his voice become all- sad?- "I want you to know that I think this was a mistake, because your too young to be getting married!"
Lenalee bit her lip, "Wait, Allen-"
"Do you think this was the right move? I mean, the war isn't over, you might have rushed into all this."
"But I-"
"And Komui! Sorry to tell you this Lenalee, but you might have hurt his feelings. He is your brother." Allen suddenly got up, with a pained expression. "Just think about it."
He rushed his way out of the corridor, leaving Lenalee stunned. "Wait! Allen, you don't know the whole..." but he was already gone.
Lenalee slumped back into the sofa, and moodily watched everyone pass by. Why does God hate her so much? She brought a pillow close to her face, and screamed into it.
"I am not married to Kanda!"
---
And here comes Lavi. Was he going to lecture her on the subject now?
Lenalee observed Lavi as he sat down next to her on the rocks. They were outside the hotel, next to the hot springs, but not inside.
"Hey, how are you doing?"
"Lavi..." she sighed miserably, "Please tell me you dont believe Kanda."
Lavi chuckled, "Of course not. Why in the world would you get married to Kanda? I'm sure you wont go that far just to be on a mission."
"Exactly." Lenalee agreed, and leaned back. "Its just that Kanda is giving me a hard time. I don't understand anything from him."
Lavi nodded and put his arm around her shoulder. "Why don't you just...break up with him?"
"Don't be silly, Lavi. We aren't even one. Its Allen I'm worried about."
The hand around her shoulder slumped and Lenalee glanced at him. "Well, why haven't you told him?" his head was turned the other way.
"I'm...scared of Kanda...is that a good reason?" Lenalee half smiled.
"Man. All this talk of relationships is making me hungry." Lavi suddenly said, "Lets go take a bite, and then jump in the hot springs."
Hot springs? "Wait, aren't they separated. I mean, boys and girls?"
"Aw man! Really?" Lavi punched the air madly, "I was so looking forward to that. Especially all those girls!"
Lenalee narrowed her eyes. Lavi smiled smugly.
"But of course," his voice lowered to a passionate tone, "I'd choose you over all the woman in the world."
He left her sitting on the rock, dazed and feeling a bit weary.
"I don't like the sound of this..." Allen started, gazing at the window. From the mens side the hot spring was completely empty. Although, that didn't mean it was completely silent. What sounded like a hundred girls screamed and squealed in excitement. Its like they knew Lavi, Allen and Kanda were coming out, despite the big fence, and the fact that they were still in doors.
"Are you kidding me, Allen?" Lavi came up to him, "Just think about it. You are bathing in water. Almost the same water that hundreds of woman- naked, woman- have bathed in also."
"Lavi!" Allen yelled. Lavi grinned and opened the sliding door, his towel around his waist.
"Hot spring, hot spring, hot spring..." he chanted. Walking up to the edge of the water, Lavi punched the air and roared, "Canonball!!!"
Allen hesitated and thought twice. Just then, someone shouldered him and walked by with a "Tch."
"Scared, Moyashi?" Kanda taunted.
The white haired Exorcist gritted his teeth and stomped forward, "Never!"
----
"There in! There in!" A girl with red soaked hair called. She was peeking through a hole on the far left side of the fence. Many girls ran into the steaming water to have a look for themselves. Lenalee dipped a toe in the water and pulled back. She didn't know what she was so anxious about. Perhaps, it was all those girls intimidating her, or maybe it was the fact that Lavi, Allen and Kanda were on the other side, completely uncloaked and...well, any girl would get the point there.
One thing she was sure of was that she didnt like these British girls spying on her boys- ah, Lenalee corrected herself- those boys.
"Ah, he's soo hot." one girl put her hand over her heart and let her body fall into the water.
"The red-head smiled at me!"
"He cant even see you!"
"But he knows we're here!"
Lenalee resisted the urge to smack them all...
"Aww, the boy over there is so shy. Look at him." Another girl was even brave enough to punch a hole in the wall herself, and soon all the girls were doing exactly that.
While sitting at the back of the spring, Lenalee was hit with sudden curiosity and smugness.
Well, they would never know...after all there is a fence. And everyone was doing it also, if it should be anyone it should be her spying on them...
Lenalee ran her hand through her silky black hair.
It wouldn't hurt to try would it?
Next Chapter: More Hot Spring scenes! And someone gets drunk!
