Sorry it took so long to update!! AWe-chan hasn't had inspiration lately, and she's no person to plan her stories! And thank all the people who have reviewed!! They make AW-chan so happy!! And special thanks to Winterblazewolf for constantly reminding me how slow I am...

And I am contemplating if I should just skip the preparations for Wolflair and just go straight to the play, or go on with the writing about the preparations. So I'll be holding a poll that will be showed on my profile, and I will write according to that! The Poll will close in three days from update date. D


"Hm…" General Tiedoll scratched his chin thoughtfully. "This is going to take some time to design…"

"Eh? Design?" Lavi asked. The bell had just rung; cue for start of Art lesson, and Tiedoll had been sitting at the front of the class, looking through the script.

Tiedoll looked up from the script at last.

"Eh? Komui didn't tell you that I would be the one designing the costumes? Really, it's almost as though he didn't tell you children anything…" Tiedoll asked, once again going back to flipping through the script. The class chuckled humorlessly. Surprisingly, Kanda did not even 'tch' as he usually would, for he was too worried; his General being the one that will be designing the costumes could not possibly be good news.

"Well then, let's get started!" Tiedoll exclaimed cheerfully, having done with looking through the script. "I think we should start with Allen's dress, shouldn't we?" Kanda sweatdropped. He knew it… a dress…

Allen seemed to be thinking along the same lines.

"Oka… wait. A dress?" he finished incredulously, blushing. Ayuri chuckled while Lavi laughed loudly along with some others in the class.

"Well, your character is a girl, Allen," Lenalee reasoned. "If you're worrying about Kanda's reaction, I think he has more self control than that," she finished maliciously. Seems like Lenalee isn't as innocent as all that after all.

"Oi! What do you mean by that?" Kanda spat, causing Lavi to laugh all the more harder as Allen's face went red.

"Skipping the part about Yuu having self control, Lenalee's right, Allen. Your character is a girl after all… and no, I wasn't thinking of a dress. Tyrie has some fighting scenes, and a dress would get in the way. I was rather thinking of a short skirt and a nice blouse if you don't mind, Allen…" Tiedoll sank back into his reverie, probably thinking about how the shirt and the skirt should be done up.

Allen sweatdropped.

"I do mind short skirt and a blouse!" Allen cried. This time the whole class rang with laughter at the white haired got-to-act-as-a-girl boy's distress. Tiedoll, however, did not seem to hear anything.

"Ah! I know! How about black? They are werewolves after all… or no… would brown be better… What do you think, Allen?"

Allen sighed. It seems he had no way out of this anyway. Kanda's general seemed to have no intention of letting him get away with pants.

"I dunno… I guess black would be good…" he said dispiritedly.

"Yes, yes! And I should add a bit of silver in it I suppose, to bring out the moon. Werewolves are often associated with the moon anyway… Hm… but black and silver reminds me too much of…" and he let his voice trail off. But the exorcists in the room knew he was thinking of the exorcist uniforms.

It should not bee too bad, as long as… Kanda thought, but his teacher beat him to it.

"I know! Lenalee? Can I borrow that from you? Your… err… old school's uniform," he exclaimed, his eyes full of meaning as he looked at Lenalee, who grinned broadly. Kanda and Allen groaned in unison. Kanda did not think that he could stand looking at Allen in Lenalee's skirt and Allen could not stand the thought of wearing Lenalee's skirt in front of Kanda. ("Why did you have to use such a short skirt…" Kanda snapped at his general. Tiedoll smiled. "Well, I just like to make life hard for you," and winked as Kanda fumed)

"Excellent! Now that that's out of the way, we can move on to Yuu's clothes," And Lavi had to stuff his knuckles into his mouth to stop him from laughing at the look on Kanda's face. He would normally not have bothered but he had a distinct feeling that Kanda would slice him open if he did.

Tiedoll sank into a nearby chair, brow burrowed slightly, muttering to himself, although what he said was clearly audible to the class.

"I think I may have to design this one myself, as he can't wear a uniform too much like Tyrie's. They are supposed to be enemies before falling in love after all… So I think it should be white…" and with that he sank back into his art frenzied reverie.

Crap… He's gonna make up something ridiculous… Kanda swore mentally. Meanwhile, Tiedoll was still muttering.

"He'll need more than one costume though… for that scene when he talked with Quator and in the fighting scenes… Ah yes!" He stood up, then directed the rest of the sentence to Kanda. "Your white shirt will do excellent for the casual one. Don't give me that look. You know perfectly well what shirt I am referring to. The one you wear on your off days,"

But the look Kanda was giving his general was not one on bewilderment, but one of incredulousy(okay, so I don't think there's such a word… Forgive Awe-chan!). After all, he had enough fangirls already without having to wear that on stage. But just as Marie had once said, there's no point in trying to convince General Tiedoll out of something.

Tiedoll was now sketching on a sketchpad with the length of his arm rather joyfully.

That can't be good. Kanda thought.

"Right, class, what do you think of this? Or is it too extravagant?" He turned the sketchpad over to the class.

It was a simple sketch. The costume for 'battle' looked slightly like the exorcist's uniform, except that the color/shading was vice versa. And it was hoodless and it was less complicated and it, of course lacked the Rose Cross symbol.

"So, does anyone think that it is too extravagant?" Tiedoll asked the whole class. Kanda (and Kanda alone) raised his hand.

"Sorry, Yuu; majority wins,"

And this went on for the rest of the one hour until everyone had gotten more or less their costumes sorted out.

Lenalee would be wearing the Exorcist uniform along with Allen, but Tiedoll said that the costumes are crucial for the acknowledgements of the character and said that he might design something to cover the Rose Cross symbol for Allen while he would simply use black cloth to temporarily cover up Lenalee's.

Ayuri's costume was easier to sort out. She would simply borrow Allen's Exorcist uniform, being of about the same size as he was, and the Rose Cross symbol would, as usual, be covered with a black cloth.

And Lavi got a costume not unlike Kanda's except that his sleeves would be slightly shorter, presumably elbow length.

And the list goes on.

0oo0oo0

Kanda was still fuming when he got out of the classroom. Trust him to come up with things like that…

"Come on, Kanda, it's not that bad for you… I mean, I've got to wear a danged skirt!" Allen pouted.

"That's just what's worrying me," Kanda snapped. Then, as though just realizing what he said, he looked away. "Come on, Moyashi (cue for an "Allen!"), Math next. I'm not going to have my hair cut just because you decided to pout because you've been forced to wear a skirt,"


There you go! Review please! Remember to poll! It's important for my next chapters!
