Akari: meh. -.- fine, I'll update faster.

Akari's SC: and please read, enjoy, and REVIEW!!! thank you. btw, I do not own D.

GRAY MAN WOULD STOP GOING ON HAITUS ALL THE TIME. okai, now I'm really done. :)

Chapter 10: K-I-S-S-I-N-G

Allen's silver eyes opened and squinted at the sudden light in the room. He groaned as he felt the pain of the wounds inflicted in the previous battle, his body sore all over. Then he noticed a shadow on his right side, a tall figure looming over him.

"Moyashi, you're awake."

Allen sighed. "Kanda." Then, after a few minutes of struggling, he managed to sit up. "Mou. How mean. You won't even help an injured person. I guess some things never change. Heh."

"It's your own fault, so why should I help?" Kanda replied, no hint of emotion in his voice.

Allen looked down at the blanket for a while before replying. "Don't you care about us, your comrades?"

"No."

"Then what about…me?"

"What kind of question is that?"

Then, before Kanda could react, Allen jumped up and grabbed Kanda's collar, pulling him into a rough kiss, but a kiss nonetheless.

A bright pink blush was evident on Kanda's pale cheeks as Allen pulled away and opened his eyes. "Because I love you." he confessed.

Kanda stood there motionlessly, his mind still trying to comprehend what just happened. But he didn't need to.

"OMG!!! YU-CHAN AND MOYASHI-CHAN JUST K-K-K-KISSED!!! OMGOMGOMG…WTF??? HAHAHAHAHA!!!"

As for that particular voice, no second thought was needed. Lavi clasped his hand over his mouth as he realized his grave mistake too late. He jumped up and ran for the exit. "HAHAHAHAHA!!!~ THAT WAS A KODAK MOMENT, YU-CHAN!!!~ HAHAHAHAHA!!! ~KANDA AND ALLEN, SITTING IN A TREE; K-I-S-S-I-N-G!!! FIRST COMES LOVE, THEN COMES MARRIAGE…" cried Lavi jubilantly cried at the top of his lungs as he sprinted away.

Kanda's fury unleashed was a very traumatic thing to see. Having the advantage of being a shinigami, he managed to shunpo and catch Lavi in a mere two minutes. Only after having completely rendering the petrified rabbit unable to move and speak did he return to where Allen was patiently sitting on the bed.

"Kanda, do you love me too?" he asked, voice full of innocence.

"Che. What do you think, Moyashi?" smirked Kanda.

"BaKanda." grinned Allen as he leaned in for another kiss.

"I love you."

--**~~**--

Tyki sighed as he watched Lavi silently attempt to squirm out of Kanda's trap (NO YAOI INTENDED HERE. MAYBE.). He undid the illusion surrounding him, which enabled Lavi to see him. However, the redhead was too preoccupied with escaping to notice the Noah standing a few feet in front of him at all.

"Lavi, Lavi, Lavi." sighed Tyki again as he walked up to the exorcist. Said person momentarily stopped continuing his feeble attempt to escape to look up and glare at the Noah, not able to do anything about it. He peeled off the tape that held the mouth shut, and then stepped back to hear what the other had to say.

"Tyki! Bastard…why the hell are you here? To kill me? To kill off everybody?" retorted Lavi, still glaring.

"No, no; what would be the fun in that?" Tyki replied.

"Bastard."

"And why do you keep calling me a bastard?" the Noah asked, eyes widening. He lifted Lavi's chin up, looking into the emerald eye, and then turned around and walked away.

Then Lavi lost it. "Because you're so stupid, stupid for always leaving me there, all alone and confused, stupid for always playing around, and stupid for deceiving me all the time! Why does it have to be this way? Why? Turn around and answer me, Tyki!" He paused to catch his breath.

Tyki stopped and slowly turned around, the crosses on his forehead disappearing. "Heh, shounen. You just don't get, don't you?" The crosses then reappeared as a red spade-shaped door materialized behind Tyki and a spiky-haired girl stepped out, holding a lollipop. "Ne, Tyki, what's happening? What's the Bookman Jr. doing there all tied up?" giggled Rhode, taking a lick of her lollipop.

"Ah, nothing much. So… Lavi, do you get it?" smirked Tyki.

Lavi continued glaring. Rhode took another look at Lavi, and then her eyes widened, and a smile turned into uncontrollable laughter.

"Lavi likes Tyki~ Lavi likes Tyki~ Bookman's in l-o-v-e~" she sang, dancing in circles first around Tyki, then around Lavi. "Bookman's in love~" she sang again, repeating the last part.

Lavi stopped glaring at Tyki to stare in surprise at Rhode. "But…Bookmen don't have feelings. I can't be in love…" his voice trailed off as his heart started to beat faster than it usually beats, since Tyki started walking back to him. "Tyki?"

Rhode opened the door again. "C'mon, Tyki, Millenie wants to have lunch. Better not be late!~ Don't worry--I won't tell, kay?~"

"Just a minute, Rhode." Replied Tyki as he undid the incantation a certain angry samurai had set on him earlier. Upon finishing, he walked back to Rhode and disappeared through the door, leaving Lavi once again petrified.

Lavi fell to his knees, staring at the empty space where the door previously stood, the last question still resonating in his mind.

"Why…?"

Akari's SC: Bwahahaha…I ish evil. lolz.

Akari: Poor Lavi….

Akari's SC: yah, but let's just leave it at that.

Akari: Why?

Akari's SC: -sigh- too many people seem to be saying "why" these days. What is so special about that word?

Akari: cuz it adds in all the drama. questions, questions. -sigh-

Akari's SC: meh. anyways, don't forget to REVIEW (and that's in caps for a reason), hope you enjoyed the story thus so far, got to go now, see ya!~
