Chapter 11: Training

'What does Master mean by that?'

It's been days since that incident (A/N: See previous chapters) and Allen still can't get Cross' words off his mind. To top it off, Lenalee seems to change these past few days.

"Allen-kun!" Lenalee shouted, making Allen blinked and remove his attention from his thoughts. The vampire princess ran towards him and smiled.

"H-hey Lenalee." Allen said. For some reason, he feels kind of awkward when he's around Lenalee now.

Lenalee giggled and linked her arms with him.

Allen blushed at the sudden action but didn't remove his arm either.

Lenalee has been quite clear of her feelings for her soon-to-be mate and isn't afraid to show it, except when Komui's around. She knows how scary her brother's sister complex can be.

"LENALEE!" Speak of the devil and he shall appear, the beret-wearing King appeared out of nowhere and ran towards his beloved sister.

"Nii-san!" Lenalee said as she immediately let go of Allen.

Allen inwardly frowned at the action but completely forgotten about it when he was met by Komui's cold stare. Allen gulped as he slowly distanced himself from the siblings.

"I-I must excuse myself for now…" he said, not meeting the eyes of the siblings. "I remembered Lavi wants to meet me. See you later." And he was immediately out of sight.

Lenalee sighed and pouted. "Nii-san…" she whined. "You scared Allen-kun!"

"But Lenalee!" Komui protested. "He might do something to you, like take your purity or something."

"He has every right to do what he wants with me. We're getting married soon, Nii-san! You must understand that THAT DAY will come, one way or another."

"But-"

Lenalee ignored her brother's continuous rants and protests and walked off.

Allen stopped running, held his knees and sighed in relief.

'Komui-san is REALLY scary!'

"Oi, Moyashi."

Allen flinched at the nickname. He looked up and glared at the long-haired samurai.

"ITS. ALLEN." The prince said, emphasizing his name.

"Tch." Kanda glared down as well.

"What do you want?"

"You've been slacking off for two weeks." Kanda said. "You should be training, not flirting."

Allen blinked before realizing what his personal knight had said. How can he forget? They're in the middle of a war against a clan of demons who controls akuma, and here he was, forgetting that fact and just have fun with Lenalee.

"Oh shit! How could I forget?!" he shouted. "I'll start training right now." He said as he dashed off to the training grounds.

"Tch… stupid Moyashi." Kanda said and walked to the opposite direction. He continued walking for a few minutes when he abruptly stopped, a vein popping out of his forehead.

"Damn it. I still have to tell the Princess and that Usagi to go down and train too. What's with people these days, anyway? Did just forgot we're in the middle of a war?" he grumbled under his breath as he turned around the other way.

(A/N: Still can't write fight scenes. Please bear with me…)

Allen panted and deactivated his Crowned Clown as the last dummy falls to the ground.

"Damn it. I'm slower than last time."

"Want to fight me?"

Allen turned and saw Lenalee smiling at him.

"How about it, Allen-kun?"

"But Lenalee-"

"No buts, Allen." Lavi appeared and slung an arm on Allen's shoulders. "Lenalee's pretty strong."

"Indeed Moyashi." Kanda said from a corner (ignoring Allen's glares). "Sparring with the princess will help you improve your speed and also Lenalee's strength."

Lenalee giggled and activated her Dark Boots. "So are you ready, Allen-kun?"

Lavi backed away as the prince activated his weapon. Allen nodded. Taking that as a signal, Lenalee smirked as she jumped up and suddenly disappeared from Allen's sight, only to end up in the air above her fiancé, ready to knock him out.

Allen sensed her and quickly blocked her attack before it even hit his face. Allen smirked. "You're fast, Lenalee."

"You're up against the fastest vampire in our realm, Moyashi-chan." Lavi said with a grin, while watching at the side with Kanda. "This will be a good training for both of you."

Allen smirked wider. "Well then, even though you're my fiancée, Lenalee, I will not hold back."

"So would I, Allen-kun." Lenalee gave a wide grin, accepting the challenge. "Let's have some fun, ne?"

Allen nodded in reply as they continued sparring.

Allen fell down to his knees, panting, as he deactivated his weapon. "You're… really… good, Lenalee."

Lenalee landed slowly and smiled. "So were you, Allen-kun."

"Wow!" Lavi shouted as he and Kanda walked towards the couple. "You guys were FREAKISHLY AWESOME. You two can make a great team. I can't wait to see you in action in the battlefield!" Lavi said, with his eyes twinkling.

"The Usagi is right. You two are at par with each other. I can see the improvement, especially with you, Moyashi." Kanda said, averting his eyes away from the three vampires. "You immediately coped up with Lenalee's speed, which is merely impossible the first time you encounter the Dark Boots up close. That was really commendable."

Lavi smirked and nudged Kanda teasingly by the elbow. 'Eh~ did the great Yuu-chan just praised little Moyashi-chan?"

"DON'T CALL ME THAT!" Allen and Kanda shouted. Lenalee laughed as the crazy vampires run after a screaming Lavi, ready to kill the poor redhead as soon as they catch him.

"Boys will be boys." Lenalee smiled as she watched as chaos ensues.

Okay~ That's all for now... I promise I'll update soon (which would probably means next month?)
