A/N: Alright, here is the next 'lil chappie. Sorry that it took a little while, I just was a little busy, hehe. But anyways, enjoy!
Slowly the image of the not-so-distant memory faded as Kanda and Allen began bickering again (as always), their faces holding a slight tint of pink from what had happened to them. For a long while, silence dominated the air of the dining hall, making the two boys still stuck in the kitchen closet shift and fidget nervously. Hearing the whole dining hall laughing at the misfortunate mishap was bad enough, but having there be nothing but complete and utter silence was horrifying.
Kanda pushed against Allen's head, grunting in irritation as he looked away from the boy.
"It's all your fault Moyashi, you and your damn idiotic golem just had to go and show everyone your useless memories." Kanda said, shooting a glare in Allen's direction.
Since it was so dark inside of the little closet Allen could have easily missed the scornful look, but thanks to his days with his Master he didn't miss it. His face twisted up into a scowl, irritation easily twisting his gentle yet sharply shaped features.
"It's not my fault, Bakanda." He muttered indignantly and rolled his eyes. "It's Lavi's. He is the one who brought up wanting to see Cross trying to cut my hair off, and Tim, being the little mischievous brat he is," Allen said, the corners of his lips twitching up as he talked about his little golden golem, "Aimed to please Lavi for some reason, and showed him what he wanted. And then, things just got out of control." He said, ending his little explanation of how Kanda was so wrong about this being his fault, because it obviously wasn't. As always, it was Lavi's.
"Che... Well learn to control your golem then, because I will not continue to deal with incidents like this." He said, and pushed against the younger exorcist's shoulder which had been digging into the side of his arm. "And keep your damn distance! I don't want to feel your body against mine in any way!"
"I'm trying!" Allen yelled, thrusting his foot out from under him and pushing it against Kanda's firm chest.
"No you aren't!" Kanda yelled, his anger sky-rocketing. He placed his hand against Allen's head, his fingers clenching around the boy's locks in a rather painful way as he pushed his head against the wall of the closet.
"Oww!" Allen cried out, "Kanda, you arse!" He shouted, lifting the foot he had on Kanda's chest with enough force that a "Whack" sound reverberated in the room as he hit his chin.
For a moment or two silence consumed the air around them as it did in the dining hall, but then they were yelling and screaming at each other, moving there selves around to try and put even a little bit of distance between them. But it always resulted in them hitting, kicking, or smacking each other in some random part of their bodies, which only made them yell at each other more.
The two of them were even so distracted and caught up in their argument that they missed the roar of laughter from the dining hall that broke the silence that had made them fight in the first place, although it was bound to happen for some other reason eventually.
"That was just great!" Lavi exclaimed, throwing his hands up in the air in a display of his excitement and enthusiasm over the embarrassing – well, to Allen and Kanda – memory.
"I have to agree." Lenalee said between her quiet giggling, which she tried to muffle behind the flesh of the palm of her hand.
"Ah, I have so many things to tease Allen about now." Lavi said, smiling his usual wide grin.
"While that may be true, we all know that Allen will find some way to get back at you."
The voice of Reever had everyone turning to look at the Australian man. Even though it was the dining hall, it was odd to see the man there since he was usually either in the science department or hounding Komui about getting his work done.
"Reever," Lenalee said, smiling as the older man walked over to the table that had been the center of everyone's attention for hours. "What are you doing here- well uh, other than to eat I mean." She said, catching herself on the question that seemed to have such a simple and obvious answer.
"Well." Reever said as he sat down across from the young girl. "We were all told we could take a small brake, and since I was not only hungry, but curious about the chatter I've heard about what is going on down here, I thought I would come and see myself." He said.
"Well, what a pleasant surprise." Miranda said, her soft tone catching Reever and Lenalee's attention. She had a small smile on her face, but as soon as she saw the direction of everyone's attention had shifted onto her, her usual stuttering and worried expression followed.
"It is a pleasant surprise." Lenalee said, trying to pull the attention off of Miranda so the elder woman could relax. She smiled at Reever, and he smiled back at her.
"Well~" Lavi chimed, butting in between the space left between Reever and Lenalee, startling them. "I think we need to let Allen and Kanda out of that closet before they kill each other." Lavi said, and everyone looked back at the kitchen as the sound of the two young boy's shouts became even louder, along with a few thumps and bangs.
"Once again, I agree with you." Lenalee said, and both her and Lavi stood up and walked down to the kitchen. The small ordering window allowed the others within the dining hall to see as Lavi and Lenalee opened the door they trapped Allen and Kanda in, and a few chuckles were heard as they tumbled out.
They looked up at their comrades, their bodies a mess of tangled limbs because of their struggle within the small kitchen closet. But then they were glaring at them before they quickly untangled themselves.
"How could you trap us in there together?" Allen shouted as he stood up and brushed himself off before he looked back at his friends, glaring somewhat at them.
"Well, it would have been too hard to try and restrain both of you because we know you two wouldn't have let us see that little memory." Lavi said, with a bit of a teasing tone to his voice.
Instantly, both Allen and Kanda gained a hue of pink to their cheeks. But while Kanda just looked simply annoyed by everything going on, Allen seemed more embarrassed than anything.
"Aw, Moyashi-chan, cheer up." Lavi said whilst sliding over behind his friend, quickly pulling the young boy back and into a bone-crushing hug.
"L-lavi,c-can't.. Can-t breath." Allen stuttered out, his face becoming an even darker shade of red as his friend unintentionally deprived him of oxygen.
"Oh, sorry." Lavi muttered and loosened his hold, but did not let go of Allen.
"Neh, Allen, are you embarrassed?" Lavi said teasingly, bringing his face close to the younger boy's, making him flustered even more so.
"O-of course not!" Allen said, his voice raised an octave.
"You are!" Lavi exclaimed, faking his surprise, but his excitement was all too rule, especially for Allen, who was now struggling within his friend's hold. "Ohhh, poor Moyashi-chan is embarrassed by an itty-bitty kiss from the horrid Yuu~!" He practically sang.
"Lavi!" Allen shouted, struggling within the older boy's hold. Eventually he was able to get away, and he stumbled into Lenalee.
She sighed and placed her hand on his shoulder as he stuttered out apologizes, his face completely red from both the previous frustration and embarrassment he felt.
"Allen, stop apologizing." She said and chuckled as she lifted the exorcist's chin and kissed him gently on the lips. "Now, there was a tiny little kiss like what happened with Kanda." She said as she pulled her lips away from his. "It's simple and doesn't need to be something you're so embarrassed over." She said softly.
Allen was at a loss of words, Kanda seemed a bit ticked off, and Lavi was stuttering out incoherent sentences.
"Now, come on, let's go back out." Lenalee said, acting as if she hadn't just kissed the younger boy. She smiled brightly and pulled him out of the kitchen, making him pull himself out of his daze-like state.
Kanda followed behind the two, and soon Lavi did as well.
"Lenalee," He said, drawing out her name."How could you kiss Allen?!" He exclaimed, adding emphasis to the word kiss.
All of a sudden there was a loud banging and a single, deafening boom. And then:
"No! My sweet, innocent, Lenalee!"
Groans and sounds of exasperation resounded in the dining hall, while Allen's eyes widened.
"Oh no." Allen said, sounding completely horrified. He quickly turned on his heels, trying to find a way out of the dining hall before the crazed brother of Lenalee could find him. When he found no possible way out he groaned before he turned and glared at Lavi.
"Dammit, he is going to kill me now because of you!" He shouted as he stormed over to Lavi.
"Eh heh heh." Lavi backed away from the angered Allen, quickly sensing Black Allen emerging. He turned around, quickly trying to run away from the younger, but certainly terrifying boy. But, Allen caught him before he could.
Lavi was about to start apologizing, maybe even start begging Allen to keep his head on his body, but a sudden loud boom stopped him. "Oh shit.."
"Allen Walker!" Komui's voice rang out, loud and clear, and all heads turned to the entrance way of the cafeteria to see said man standing there, a devilish smirk on his face. "You will now face the wrath of me through my darling Komurin!" He shouted.
Allen's eyes were nearly bulging out of his head as the sound of metal – presumably metal feet- hitting the floor reached everyone's ears. Everyone in the dining hall moved to the walls, shouting at Komui as he laughed evilly.
Allen knew there was no way out, but that didn't keep him from trying to find an escape. But the sound of the quickly approaching Komurin had him backed up against the wall, shouting for people to help him get out before Komui could sic his crazed invention on him.
Then there was one last bang, and everyone looked over to the entrance with horrified expressions on their face, their hearts pounding as they stared over at the large-
"Eh?"
Instead of the usual large Komurin everyone was so afraid of, there stood a miniature version of the thing. A few brows were raised, while others snickered, but some breathed a sigh of relief.
"Komurin! Get Allen Walker!" Komui shouted, pointing his finger at the cursed exorcist who was staring, amusedly at the small Komurin.
The tiny thing jolted, and then it was racing forward and over to Allen. Once it reached him it climbed up his body until it reached his head, and it began to tug on his locks of hair.
Allen watched the thing for a moment before he looked over at Komui, ignoring the sharp tugs on his hair.
"Umm.. Komui, why is Komurin so small? Not that I'm complaining, but..." He let his voice trail off.
Komui pouted as he stared back at Allen, losing all the seriousness he had only seconds ago.
"I'm not allowed a big Komurin anymore." He whined with tears building up inside of his large eyes.
A chorus of "Thank goodness," and ,"It's a miracle" rang out around the dining hall as everyone returned to their seats. Lenalee laughed at her brother's crestfallen look and she slowly walked over to him.
"Cheer up brother, It's better that you have a small Komurin because we won't have to reconstruct the Order after he would certainly destroy it." She said.
As Lenalee tried to comfort her brother Allen picked the tiny Komurin up between his thumb and pointer finger. He held the thing in front of his face, observing I, until it pinched his cheeks and pulled them out.
He yelped and quickly flung the thing away from him. He wasn't sure where it went to but he really didn't care.
"Hey! What about our little show?!" Lavi whined waving his hands about in the air. "Did everyone but me forget about it?"
"Of course not," Lenalee said as she turned away from her brother to look at Lavi. "Now, let's get this show rolling again!" She said with enthusiasm.
There was a "Whoosh" sound, and suddenly Tim was in the air again, opening his mouth and starting the show again before anyone could say anything to stop him.
The first thing everyone saw was a dirt alleyway. Dirt covered the broken up cobble stone ground, and bits of trash laid scattered around the narrow passage. There was a few people talking, but their words were incomprehensible. That is until something was suddenly thrown to the ground.
Coughing was heard as the young Allen lifted his head from off of the ground. He sat up slowly, and ass Tim flew down and nuzzled his cheek a few older boys and even a few teenagers were seen by everyone. They had menacing smiles on their face, and Allen glared at them almost instantly.
"Come on you little monster, get up and defend yourself," One of the boy's said, presumably being the head of the little group that surrounded Allen.
Allen looked away and shook his head, lowering his head just enough for his bangs to shield his face.
"But you were getting so angry earlier," The boy exclaimed with mock shock, "You didn't like when we called you a freak, or a grotesque little sprout." He said. "So do something about it!"
"Of course I didn't like that." Allen said calmly, although there was a bit of a strain in his voice. "I can't help that my arms is this way." He said as he lifted his head to glare at the other boys again. "And it's upsetting hearing people talk about it." He added, this time muttering instead of talking clearly. He knew the truth of his deformed arm though, but telling those boys would mean nothing to them.
"Well, life isn't fair kid. Now get up, or just lay-"
"Hey!"
The kids turned around at the sudden gruff voice, and all their eyes caught on the red haired men standing just out of the opening of the alleyway. The wind lifted his hair out of his face, and his narrowed eyes were exposed as he glared at the young boys.
"Go away, scat you little mongrels." Cross said, his voice being menacing enough to make the boys run for it.
Allen slowly looked over at his master, shock evident on his small rounded face. "Why did you do that?" he asked.
"Because I felt like it." Cross said as he shook his head. "Just get out of there, and don't expect me to stand up for you like that again." Cross said. "That was a one time thing." He said as he turned and looked away from Allen and began to run his fingers through his hair.
Slowly Allen got up and he sighed as he slowly walked over to his master.
"Why did you even take their crap anyways?" Cross said as he glanced down at his young apprentice.
"Well.. Mana always told me to ignore those who insult me or ridicule me.." Allen murmured as he looked at the ground as they began to walk away from the alleyway together with Tim floating behind them.
Cross stared at him, a small flash of sadness appearing in his eyes briefly before being replaced with a cold unidentifiable look. "I see. Well, learn to defend yourself." He said, and Allen nodded.
"Well, after living on the streets for so long I already know how, I just choose not to hurt anybody unless I need to." Allen said.
"Well then be prepared to deal with ridicule or insults, or anything of the like." Cross said and sighed.
"I'm already prepared Master, I've dealt with it all my life."
