I'm so SORRY! I haven't updated in forever! D: Hope this makes up for it...

Spoilers for chapter 138, like a whole section. The saving part was based off of episode 73-74.:) ENJOY


Comfort

Kanda grabbed his katana and began heading towards the exit of the Order. To his knowledge, he'd be going to meet with General Theodore. Sighing, he opened his door to leave, but heard a soft cry.

Taking a pause, he tried to hear who had been making the noise.

No noise.

Trying to shake it off, he continued on his way to where he was supposed to be.

----

Lenalee wiped her tears off as she struggled to keep her crying as quite as possible. She hated the state she was in. Her legs were feeling a little better, but walking had been a bit of a problem.

Her Innocence had been acting up.

That wasn't all that bothered her; her hair had been lost the previous battle and now it was just short. It had been so short that she couldn't put her hair up.

And Kanda.

She sighed as she thought of Kanda. He had saved her from the Noah Tyki, practically risked his life to protect her from the Earl when she was stuck in her Innocence's "Protective Mode", and yet it bothered her.

Sniffling, she got herself up, and walked towards Komui's office to see what he'd been up to.

----

Kanda walked back towards his room with a sigh. The cries had in a way 'possessed' him to return, besides, Theodore could wait. Kanda's General had probably been drawing the Order's garden or something to bother with the time he'd marked to speak with him.

He sat down and began to meditate. Perhaps if he concentrated, he'd hear the cries and hunt them down.

Taking a moment to glance at the right wall of his room, he thought that Lenalee may have been the one crying.

----

"Nii-san!" Lenalee said aloud as she entered the room, only to see all the Generals there, and Leverrier!

She was shocked; him of all people? She felt a chill pass her by.

----

Lenalee walked towards her room. Taking a glance at Kanda's room, she tried to convince herself to continue on to her room, she was sick of all the worry over her. Sighing, she didn't bother to knock on his door; she just walked in.

He had been so concentrated in meditating that when Lenalee walked in, he didn't notice.

Or so it seemed.

She took a seat on the floor a good 2 feet beside him. She crossed her legs into the position that his were in, and closed her eyes; in an attempt to meditate.

"What is it?" Kanda asked; eyes closed trying to concentrate on meditating.

Lenalee didn't look at him, trying to continue. "Nothing. Just though that I'd try meditating with you for once."

"It's Leverrier, huh? You always seem to run over to my place whenever that guy's around." Kanda put on a snobby face.

"I just hate having everyone worrying about me…" Lenalee faced Kanda. "Ever since we were small, I could be with you and you wouldn't ask me any questions, so it helps me relax."

Lenalee then just gave in, "I'm really just running away, aren't I?" She paused. "I just can't take it like this! I have to be stronger! But still…"

Kanda sighed and without hesitation aloud words to flow from his mouth, "Although I think of you as a strong person."

She wiped her watery eyes and just stared at him. She hadn't expected Kanda, one who doesn't take bullshit to tell her that. "Kanda…"

Kanda, being one not to be very emotional when it came to things like this, just added "Just shut up and meditate."

"…Okay!" Lenalee smiled as she answered him and began to attempt once more to meditate.

"BEEP BEEP BEEP, Lenalee Li is to come to Hevlaska's chamber immediately! Order of Secretary Leverrier and the Supervisor!" The Golem that had followed Lenalee all the way to Kanda's room had announced.

Although it was clear that Kanda had heard what the Golem said, he continued to meditate. Lenalee stood up, and just glanced at Kanda one more time. She thought about saying good bye, or thanking him, but decided against it. She felt as though she had burdened him enough.

----

After he heard his door shut quietly, Kanda opened his eyes. He took a look at where Lenalee had been sitting. Sighing, he stood up once more and grabbed his katana off to see his General. He'd waited long enough.

Besides, maybe it was a good idea that he returned to his room. He felt a nice feeling in his chest and a smile was threatening to appear on his lips. He then knew that Lenalee was the one who had been crying.

----

Lenalee struggled to go to Hevlaska's chamber. She gulped but before she opened the door, smiled once before. Recalling that ever since they were small, Kanda had been the one she went to when things just went wrong.

He had always been there, and it relaxed her.


He he, Chapter 138, you are my love. :) Ha ha, Don't you all just love episode 73-74?? Cause I LOVED them. ;)
