Chapter 10: I'm back
Kanda's P.O.V.
After sleeping enough to gain back my energy from my previous mission, I finally woke up only to find Chibi panting hard and being red.
"What the hell?" I muttered and placed my hand on his forehead. When I touched him he opened his eyes and smiled when he saw me.
"Good morning, Kanda..." he said with a sore throat. My face stiffened.
"Good morning... Looks like someone ran down with a cold..." I told him. He laughed - tried to laugh.
"I guess so... I was so sad that you had gone that I damaged my body..." he said looking elsewhere. I sighed.
"No need to be so depressed whenever I go away... I always come back. Plus, you will... you will dissapear eventually..." I said. There was silence for a few minutes.
"I'll go get you some breakfast. Don't get out of the bed for the rest of the day." I told him and went out of our- my room... After dressing up.
When I reached the cafeteria I was surprised to see Tikky feeding Lavi.
"What the hell?" I said loud enough for someone to hear.
"Looks like they finally got over their issues." Lenalee said. I shrugged my shoulders and went to Jerry.
"Good morning, Kanda! Where's our little friend?" he asked as cheerfull as always.
"He cought a cold. Can you make him a good breakfast?" I asked him. He smiled.
"Of course I can! Everything will be ready in a few minutes. Please, wait." he said and went back to the kitchen. Ten minutes later I was holding a bunch of plates with all kinds of food. Maybe he overdid it a little...
I walked inside the room and Chibi was there, looking at my flower.
"You really like that, don't you?" I told him. He didn't took his eyes of it.
"It's really pretty... And it is also your life... I think it's obvious why I like it." he said. His throat had gotten worse.
"Don't talk. Come here." I told him and patted my hips. He got the point and sat on them.
"Are you going to feed me?" he asked confused.
"Yeah, but keep quiet. Your throat is much worse than before." I told him and took the spoon to feed him some soup. He opened his mouth and I shoved the spoon in it. I hope I didn't choke him. From his expression, looks like I didn't. So, I kept feeding him until everything had dissapeared.
"Yummy..." he muttered and went back to bed. I smiled and covered him with the blankets. It didn't take him long to sleep.
"I guess he needs a towel as well..." I wispered so that I wouldn't wake him up. I went to the bathroom and filled a buket with water and then took a towel and returned to the room. I wet the towel and put it on his forehead. After that, not knowing what to do, I went out for some practice.
Komui's P.O.V.
"I start to sense Allen's innocence again, the younger one is probably going to dissapear these days." Hevlaska said. I sighed.
"How do we tell this to Kanda? Seems like the samurai thinks the younger Allen and the Allen we know are two different people." I said.
"They do are kind of different. They think different, as younger Allen hasn't been through all these Allen has." she said. I tried to think of something.
"Well, I suppose that no matter how much we like the Allen we have now, the other one is the one that should be here... So, I guess that's just right..." I said. Hevlaska nodded.
"Well, then... I guess someone should talk to Kanda." I said.
"Ask Lavi... He might seem to be stupid, but he is good at talking about these things." she said.
"Yeah, I'll just do that. Thanks, Hevlaska." I said and left.
I searched for Lavi for a while, until I finally found him sitting on a couch talking to Tikky.
"Seems like you two finally accepted each other." I said smiling.
"It's more like: Lavi finally accepted me." Tikky said laughing. As a result he earned a punch from the redhead.
"Lavi, I need you to do me a favour." I said, changing the topic and going to serious mode.
"What is it?" he said, curious about what would come next.
"Hevlaska says Allen will return soon. You need to prepare Kanda... " I told him. He gulped.
"Why me?" he asked. I could already hear the fear in his voice.
"You are good with words... Find a way to make him accept it and not try to change the entire world to keep the younger Allen with him." I said and left, leaving him crying with Tikky comforting him.
Lavi's. P.O.V.
Why me? What did I do?! Urgh... I guess I should tell the old man to prepare my grave, if he hasn't done it already. I reached the training room and after taking a deep breath I got inside.
"K-Kanda? Are you here?" I asked and stepped further in.
"What do you want, Baka Usagi?" he asked annoyed.
"I, uhh... I need to talk to you about something serious." I told him. That seemed to distract him.
"Something... Serious? Why am I so surprised?" he said sarcastically.
"Yuu! Anyway, listen here. Hevlaska felt Allen's innocence." I told him. His eyes widened.
"Is he somewhere close?" he asked me, anxious to know.
"He's not in this world, yet, but he is about to come back. This means that Allen-chan will..." I said, but I didn't finish as I saw sadness taking over Kanda's face.
"I-I see... I guess, I should spent the rest of the time with him." he said and left. Really now? I thought it would be more difficult! Give me a break! ... I guess it's a talent, it can't be explained in an other way...
Kanda's P.O.V.
I walked slowly towards my room. Well, of course I knew he wouldn't stay here forever, but... I really didn't expect him to leave now... What should I do? When he leaves, that annoying Moyashi will be back. I guess... No more smiling...
"Kanda? What happened?" I heard Marie say from behind me.
"Eh? Oh, no, it's nothing... It's just that... It looks like Chibi will disappear sooner or later..." I told him. Wow, it was the first time I had opened my heart to someone...
"Oh, that's too bad. He was really fun to be with... But, still, why the long face? Allen will return, so there won't be a problem, right?" he said. I snapped at this.
"Are you kidding me?! How can you compare Chibi with that annoying Moyashi!?" I yelled at him. He looked confused.
"But... They are the same person..." he said. I stared at him.
"No... No they are not." I said and left. Tch... Comparing my Chibi with that guy...
When I finally reached my bedroom I got slowly inside and sat beside Chibi.
"Hmn... Kanda? What's wrong?" he asked me when he realised I was there.
"Nothing. Go back to sleep." I told him, but instead he sat on the bed.
"I'm not sleepy anymore. I think I'm fine, too... My throat doesn't hurt and I'm not tired." he said. Well, he did sound better.
"Still, you have to stay in bed." I said. He pouted.
"Come on! I'm fine I said! Come, let's go pull a prank on someone!" he said happilly. Damn it... There was no other choice. I had to spend the rest of the remaining time with him.
"Okay..." I said. He smiled and hugged me tightly.
"Yaay! Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!" he said and got out of the bed. I sighed and followed him. He surelly had in mind Lavi and Tikky...
Little Allen's P.O.V.
Something bad was going on, I could feel it. Kanda didn't look well... I wonder if he cought my cold...
"Hey, do you know where Lavi and Tikky is?" I asked him. He sighed... Again...
"Uhh... I don't know..." he said. I stopped.
"What's wrong with you!? You didn't look like that in the morning!" I told him. Now I was getting worried.
"Uh... it's just that... You will probably go back one of these days and I uh... I'll miss you, I guess..." he said looking down. What. The. Hell.
"But... I don't want to leave, yet..." I muttered. He looked at me with a sad face. Now I get it...
"Well, uh... But I'm still here! So, let's do something fun before I vanish!" I said happilly. He tried to smile back and we kept on walking in silence.
We reached the caffeteria and I looked around to see my two targets.
"Not here, huh?" I muttered and headed to their room with Kanda close behind, but when we finally reached it I just couldn't open the door.
"What the- NO! Tikky... Ah! S-stop you i-idiot! Ahhn~!" Lavi said from the back of the door... Kind of... Loudly...
"Shh... You don't want to be heard, do you?" Tikky told him.
"K-Kanda?" I said speechless. He quickly took me in his arms and took us from there.
"BAKA USAGI!" he screamed at the top of his lungs when we were a few meters away. What was going on...?
After that Kanda took us back to the caffeteria and ordered something for us to drink.
"So, um... What was happening in there, Kanda?" I asked him and drank a bit of my juice. He stared at me and I looked back with confused eyes. He sighed...
"You... Can't you understand?!" he asked me. I kept on staring him with confused eyes.
"Wha- Uh... How do I-? Uhh... Umm... Ok, listen, what was actually going on there was... Umm... Tikky was doing to Lavi the same thing he did to you when he took you from me, but unlike then, Lavi seems to... want it." he said. What the...
"EHHH?!" I yelled and as a result everyone stared at us.
"Quiet you idiot!" Kanda scolded me and hit me on the head. Ouch...
"But how could he possible want that!?" I asked him.
"Well, it's not that bad if both want it. You... You can also feel good from it..." he tried to explain me.
"How?" I asked him sweatdropping. He blushed.
"YOU'LL LEARN WHEN YOU GROW UP!" he yelled, earning everyone's eyes again. I pouted. I wanted to learn now.
"What's going on, you two? You have been shouting for a while..." Lenalee suddenly told us.
"Oh, hey! Lenalee, can you please tell me how can you feel good from- mhnnm~!" I didn't finish my sentence as Kanda closed my mouth with his hand.
"What brings you here, Lenalee?" he asked her awkwardly.
"Uh... You were shouting, so I got curious." she said.
"Well, nothing to worry about. Same old, stupid things..." Kanda told her and left, holding me like a potato sack.
Kanda's P.O.V.
That stupid brat! What the hell was he about to ask Lenalee?!
"Hey! Hey, put me down, you tall idiot!" he yelled from behind my back.
"Shut up, Chibi!" I told him.
"Put me DOWWWN!" he yelled again and started kicking the air and punching my back.
"Keep acting like that and I will fart in your face!" I threatend him. Eww...
"Don't you dare!" he growled.
"I won't do it if you stop." I said and he immidiatelly stopped.
"Gross..." he muttered. Agreed... Suddenly, he started to glow.
"What the hell?" I muttered and put him down.
"Ka-Kanda?" he said worried. Please, don't tell me... He is not leaving, right?!
"But, I don't want to go, yet!" he said, tears falling from his eyes. Then he stopped glowing.
"I'm still here..." he said.
"Yeah, but... Why?" I asked him. As if he knew.
"I don't know..." he said. See? As I said.
"Come on, let's go to Komui." I told him and took his hand.
We reached Komui's office and I knocked the door.
"Come in, Kanda." he said in a serious voice. I got in.
"How did you know?" I asked him. He looked at me and then at Chibi.
"Well, looks like the reason he is here is the innocence. Hevlaska told me right now that Allen was about to come, but something stopped him. So, I knew you would come here to ask me about it..." he said.
"Great... Do we know when he will leave for real?" I asked him again. He sighed.
"Unfortunately, no. And including what happened right now, he might have been trapped in our world." he told us. Huh?
"Wait, what about Moyashi?" I said. Ok, I hated him, but this didn't mean he had to disappear in another dimension.
"Same as the young Allen... Listen, Kanda. You have to keep an eye on Allen at all times. If you see anything weird happening report it immidiatelly. Got it?" he asked me. I nodded my head and went out. Now, what?
"Kanda... Am I going to stay here forever?" Chibi asked me. I looked at him.
"I don't know... What would you do if you really were to stay here forever?" I asked him back. He looked down.
"I would go to Mana... I'm having fun here, but he's my foster father!" he said. That guy... Lenalee had told me before about that! But this means...
"Chibi... Mana is... He is not in this world." I told him. He looked confused.
"What do you mean?" he asked me worried.
"That guy... Mana... Died... When Moyashi was still young..." I told him. His eyes filled with horror.
"No..." he muttered. I kneeled in front of him.
"Hey, don't get so emotional. This isn't your world. I don't know what's going to happen in your reallity." I told him and hugged him. He was shaking like a fish.
"It's ok... I'm still here..." I told him and took him to our- my room. I hadn't realised how late it was. It would be better if we slept a bit.
In the middle of the night I felt something tugging me.
"Kanda... I'm thirsty. And a bit hungry..." Chibi told me.
"Urgh... Can't you wait till morning?" I told him half asleep.
"No." was his answer. Ok, I got it. I stood up and went out of the room with him behind me. We went to the caffeteria.
"Stay here and I'll make you something." I told him and went to the kitchen. I found some cookies in the table and I made him some hot chocolate. I went back and gave them to him.
"Thanks, Kanda!" he said happilly and sat on my lap when I sat beside him.
"Eh... Che..." was all I said and I rested my head on my hand. Before I realised it we were both sleeping.
Third Person's P.O.V.
The next morning, when everyone had woken up and headed to the caffeteria, they were greeted with a big surprise. Lavi was the first to speak.
"What the... WHY IS KANDA SLEEPING WITH ALLEN ON TOP OF HIM!?" he yelled making the two start waking up. When they finally opened their eyes and stared at each other it took them a minute to realise what was going on.
"GYAAAAAH!" they both screamed and fell on the floor.
"Wh-Why the hell were you on top of me?!" Kanda yelled.
"How the hell should I know, BaKanda!" Allen yelled back.
"Wait, guys! Were's Allen-chan!?" Lavi interupted.
"Huh... Wait, if you are here then Chibi is..." Kanda muttered and then looked down. Allen was as confused as he had never been before. Suddenly Kanda stood up and ran away.
"What the..." Allen muttered.
"I'll explain." Lavi offered.
Allen's P.O.V.
I was stunned as I listened Lavi speaking.
"Wait, so let's take it from the start. I disappeared and in my place came my self from the past. Reever thought it was best if Kanda took care of me, so he asked him to do it as an order. Kanda got to like me as time passed and he didn't even want me to come back and now as a result he is depressed?" I said not believing it myself. Lavi nodded.
"Any questions?" he asked me.
"Yeah. An important one. What the hell with all these nicknames?!" I shouted. Lavi laughed.
"Oh, this... Well, you see... You were pretty cute when you were young. No one could just call you Allen." he said scratching his neck.
"Ok, then another one. What the hell is he doing here?" I asked pointing at Tikky.
"Eh? Me?" he said confused. What the hell?! He had even got used to it!? This guy is our enemy!
"Oh, you see, a lot of things happened and Tikky ended up becoming our ally... And my, uhh... L-lover..." he said whispering the last part.
"What. The. Hell?!" I said. What was going on here!?
"Relax, Allen-kun. It's not that bad." Lenalee told me. I tried to calm down. Well, I needed some time to get used to all of these things...
"Ah! Timcampy! I missed you so much!" I said when I saw my little flying friend and hugged him.
"Well, I suppose now we only have to deal with Kanda, right?" I heard Lavi saying, but didn't pay attention. I'm sure that guy will be able to come back to his old self. Still, I was so happy I was home again.
"By the way, Allen-kun. Where have you been all this time?" Lenalee asked me.
"Eh? Oh, I had returned to the past and met Mana again. We talked and did stuff together like we used to. I told him I was Allen from the future and he fully understood. I'm so glad I spent some time with him. I had missed him a lot. Heh... When I was about to disappear again he told me not to forget to keep walking. Hehe, how nostalgic." I said feeling really happy, instead of sad. At least now I wouldn't be depressed everytime I remembered him.
"Really? That's great! I'm so glad for you, Allen-kun!" Lenalee said. We both smiled at each other. Yup, sure it was better to be at home again.
End of chapter 10. This took a while as I wrote the story in parts, so sorry if there's something you don't understand and please tell me if it confuses you at any part. I guess things happened really quickly. I don't know why, but I just can't write the details I had in mind at first. I guess I'm in a hurry to finish it... This is definitelly bad. Anyway, please review and tell me what you think! There are still two more chapters coming, so be prepared for some more laughter. So, until next time~!
