Beauty and the Samurai.

Lenalee hadn't gotten too far from the castle when she came across the Akuma, so they got back to the castle fairly quickly.

After passing through the castle doors Lenalee asked Lavi and Link to go and get bandages, a bowl of hot water, some cloths, gauze patches and the necessary herbs to help Kanda's wound heal before leading them into the front sitting room.

When Link and Lavi saw the state of their master they dashed off to get more servants to help out and to do whatever Lenalee needed of them.
Kanda tried to quietly sneak up the stairs and take care of the wound on his own, which usually meant leaving it alone. He didn't worry too much about wounds because of the curse: it made any injuries heal faster than normal, but he unfortunately wasn't able to escape Lenalee's sharp eyes.

"Excuse me, where do you think you're going?" she asked in more of a demand than a question. "Get back here and go into the sitting room so I can treat that wound properly," she snapped in a demanding voice. She grabbed his white shirt and pulled him back, causing Kanda to stumble down a few steps.

"What do you think you're doing?" Kanda snapped back. The tug made his shirt brush lightly against the wound, and he bit back a hiss of pain.

"I am going to treat that wound whether you like it or not. That wound needs proper treatment," Lenalee said as she kept a vice-like grip on Kanda's tattered and bloody shirt.

"It doesn't need it, it's perfectly fine and will heal on its own," Kanda said stubbornly, but couldn't stop the hiss of pain this time as Lenalee gave a harder tug and the shirt irritated the wound more than the last time.

"You call that fine? That is not fine, and even if it heals on its own that doesn't mean it's not likely to get infected. It needs to be treated. Now do as I say and get down to that sitting room now," Lenalee snapped at him.

"No, it's fine—you don't need to do anything," Kanda said, trying to stay calm. This girl was as stubborn as he was, if not more. If she was determined to do something, then nothing would stop her—not even a particular moody beast.

Down at the bottom of the stairs Lavi had been making sure they got everything before going into the sitting room, but then he heard Lenalee and Kanda arguing, so he peeked his head round at the bottom of the stairs and his eyes almost popped out of his wax head. Someone had the nerve to talk back to Kanda. Not many did that. Oh fine, he did and so did Tiedoll but never someone else; they were always too scared to talk back to him. Maybe this girl would do him some good after all.

Lavi left and went into the sitting room to wait for Kanda and Lenalee to come in or have different orders.

After 5 minutes of constant bickering Lenalee was able to get Kanda to unwillingly go to the sitting room and sit in the large chair where he first found Allen.
"Lavi, could you get the fire going please?" Lenalee asked him.

Lavi hopped over to the fire place and started a fire and then sat back to enjoy the show. This was going to be fun.

"Take your shirt off," Lenalee commanded.

"What?" Kanda demanded.

"Take your shirt off," Lenalee repeated, this time with more force.

"Why?" Kanda wanted an answer, and a good one at that.

"So I can get to the wound," Lenalee almost snapped. Bloody hell, men are stupid and stubborn at times aren't they? At least Allen wasn't this bad when he wounded himself, but even he would still try to get out of it.

Kanda stared at Lenalee, unsure if he should do as she said. At the look on her face though, he slowly removed the destroyed shirt, careful to avoid touching the wound any more.

Lenalee soaked a cloth with hot water and squeezed the excess out before slowly beginning to clean the wound.

"Hold still now, this is going to hurt. But it'll make sure that it's clean when I bandage it up," Lenalee explained softly as she carefully dabbed at and around the wound cleaning it. Kanda went stiff from the pain and gritted his teeth.

After a minute Lenalee took the blooded piece of cloth away and started to mix the herbs and liquid together until it made a gelatinous mixture.
Lenalee used another cloth to dab at the mixture to get it on the cloth. She looked up at him.

"This is going to hurt a lot more Kanda, but please do stay still," Lenalee said softly, her tone careful, like if she spoke too loudly then something bad would happen again.

"How do you know what it's going to do?" Kanda asked. He felt the need to ask questions again. He couldn't think of an explanation for that new consideration.

"Allen hurt himself many times while he worked on his inventions. So did my brother. Allen learned from him, so sometimes they would work together and I'd have to take care of them both. Even when Allen got himself lost he would somehow injure himself, so I've dealt with a lot of different types of wounds," Lenalee explained as she put the mixture onto the wound.

When Lenalee put the mixture onto Kanda's wound he roared in pain—it hurt a lot more than the water, far worse than the water.

"Don't do that again!" Kanda snapped, trying to hide the pain with an angry front. He was too prideful to say that it hurt, even though it was obvious.
"I told you that it would hurt Kanda! I gave you the warning," Lenalee snapped back at him, glaring into his dark eyes.

"And if you didn't leave we wouldn't be in this mess. That thing could've hurt you and revealed me," Kanda snapped back, thinking that it was a good answer, and she wouldn't have anything else to say back.

"If you didn't scare me I wouldn't have ran. And that thing can't reveal you." Lenalee surprised him with her comeback, although he didn't show it on his face.

"Well, you shouldn't have been in the West Wing in the first place. You were told not to go there and yet you deliberately entered, and even more without my permission," Kanda replied, thinking that he had won the argument, but Lenalee surprised him yet again with her next answer.

"You didn't tell me what it was in the first place. If I had known a little more about the place apart from the fact that it was forbidden then maybe my curiosity wouldn't have got the best of me. This isn't just my fault; you should learn to control your temper."

Now on the inside, Kanda was baffled. Not many had the courage and stubbornness to argue with him, and come up with a good argument at that. He grudgingly admitted (to himself only, of course) that she was right and he shouldn't have lost his temper, but it was still her fault too.

"I'm sorry," Lenalee said.

"Excuse me?" Kanda was even more baffled. Someone who had the back bone to talk back to him and tell him off, suddenly turns around and says sorry? Lenalee was certainly different from the other girls he'd known; she was like an unknown precious gemstone that remained hidden in a rich woman's jewelry box.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have gone into that room, but I was curious about you and wanted to learn more about you since I'm staying here now. I was afraid of speaking to you about it because I didn't want to make you angry, but I still did. I was hoping that just looking around on my own could help. I'm sorry." Lenalee and Kanda both fell silent and Lenalee turned her attention back to the wound and started to put the mixture onto his wound.

Kanda gritted his teeth at the sting the stuff caused, just so he wouldn't hiss again.

Lenalee saw this and felt the need to thank him, even if it meant that he had been wounded because of it.

"Thank you for saving me. I know I went against your rules and probably didn't deserve it, but you still saved me. So thank you, Kanda," Lenalee spoke in a soft caring voice that Kanda would never have thought she would direct at him, or that anyone would do.

"She is truly a precious gem" Kanda thought to himself as her bright purple eyes met his for a moment before she continued treating him.

"You're welcome" Kanda said as soon as he found his voice.

Allen stormed back into the house and slammed the door behind him. It had been two weeks since he had tried to find Lenalee, he had heard rumours about the Akuma being sent out two weeks ago but they never came back with any news or any findings and they weren't found in the forest.

But Allen didn't pay attention to that, he tried to find Lenalee, he tried searching for her though out the forest, even went out for the whole day to travel to other towns to ask for their help, but as soon as he told them the story they would laugh, it sometimes even took him two to three days to travel to the towns, ask for help and travel back.

"To Hell with them, the lot of them, if no one is going to help me find Lenalee then I swear on Mana's and Komui's grave that I'll do whatever it takes to get back to that castle and get Lenalee out of there" Allen fumed to himself as he packed food, drink, spare clothes and warm clothes into a large bag he even grabbed a thick coat and throw it around his shoulders and grabbed Mana's cloak, it was old and a dark green, but it was warm, and Allen knew it was dangerous to travel for long periods of time in the cold so he had to make sure that he was wrapped up warm, then grabbed a lantern to help in the night and oil for the lantern and set out in search of Lenalee.

Ok so that is that, please review
