Chapter 11 – Kanda's Resolve : Protect your Loved Ones

"Lavi! Get up! I said get up!" Kanda shouted. Lenalee was helping Kanda with the tail.

"He's been knocked unconscious," Lenalee told Kanda while the two exorcists finally freed Lavi from the tail. "Don't think he will wake up soon."

"Damn it!" Kanda screamed in frustration and turned to glare the Noah with a heavy murderous aura. Seeing that the chances of her winning and capturing the Bookman Junior had become low due to the appearance of Kanda, she jumped from the damaged Akuma to another one. She ordered the damaged Akuma before escaping the area.

"Kill them all and bring me Bookman Junior," and Lulubell was out of sight.

Upon hearing the order, two guns grew at the waist of the Akuma and positioned to aim at the exorcists. He also prepared the rest of his uncut tails to attack.

"By Lulubell-sama's orders," the Akuma cried. "DIE! EXCORCISTS!" And the Akuma began firing and whacking his tails around aimlessly.

Although Kanda and Lenalee managed to jump up to dodge all the gunshots aimed at the ground, the tails were able to hit them when they were in the air and sent them thrown off to collide one on to a tree and the other on to the snowy ground.

While the two exorcists tried getting up recovering from the previous blow, Lucas, seeing the dangerous situation, got up and ran towards where his red-haired companion was lying unconsciously.

"Rufus!"

"Idiot!" Kanda shouted. "Don't come out!"

"Lucas-san!" Lenalee cried. She noticed Lucas was being in the line of a gunshot by the Akuma and quickly dashed towards the Norwegian to push him (along herself) back to the cave to dodge the gunshot.

"Rufus! Rufus is still out there!" Lucas exclaimed to Lenalee, anxious about the safety of his love one.

"Please do not worry," Lenalee replied standing at the entrance of the cave. "We will definitely protect Lavi. I will bring him to you now." And with that Lenalee dashed out of the cave.

Kanda on the other hand was sprinting around to dodge the attacks of the Akuma, from both the gunshots and the tails. He then managed to cut down a few tails, which the Akuma responded by focusing more gunshots at him when he jumped back after cutting to prevent him from getting close. Realising Lenalee's presence, the Akuma sent some of his tails after her, which Lenalee could dodge easily due to her accelerating speed given to her by her Dark Boots.

However, when Lenalee dodged the last tail attack it had (the rest had been cut down by Kanda) by jumping up and forward into the air, she failed to notice that behind her lied the unconscious Lavi, causing Lavi to be in the line of the attack.

"Rufus!" Lucas shouted when he saw the whole scene.

"Shimatta! Lavi!" Lenalee cried when she realised her mistake, eyes widened in shock and fear for her friend's life.

"Rufus!" Lucas shouted again, seeing that the attack won't stop and was really heading towards the redhead.

And the sound of stabbing could be heard.

Lucas and Lenalee's eyes widened at the sight they were seeing.

Lucas' jaw was dropping.

Lenalee covered her opened mouth.

Shock was definitely not a word strong enough to describe how they were feeling.

Blood was spurting out fiercely and dripping down, staining the white snowy ground with a deep red colour.

But the blood was not Lavi's.

"KANDA!" Lenalee screamed as blood dripped out from the wound he received from the left side of his chest that was stabbed through him by the tail of the Akuma; behind him was Lavi, unharmed.

Blood spurted out fiercely from Kanda's back as well, where some of the blood landed on Lavi's face. Feeling something was touching his face and noticing a familiar metal-like scent, Lavi slowly opened his eyes, waking up from his unconsciousness. However, the first thing he saw in sight was a man with a long and untied raven haired man in front of him, with his back facing him but had a tail-like weapon literally went through the left side of his shoulder and chest, blood flowing from the deep wound profusely.

Lavi froze and eye widened at the sight; his heart started pumping at a rapid rate with shock and panic of at least two hundred percent. The next thing he knew Kanda turned his head back to face him.

"You… all right? Baka… u… sagi…?"

Lavi could only slowly sat up and stare straight into the dark eyes of the exorcist in front of him that had saved him with his totally widened left green eye. The tail that was through the body of Kanda was later pulled back by the Akuma, and Kanda collapsed onto the ground, more blood flowing from his wound and widened the radius of the red stain he caused to the clear, white ground.

As Lavi watched the raven haired man collapsed onto the ground, the more than two hundred percent shock seemed to trigger something in his brain and he unknowingly called for Kanda.

"Yuuuuuuuuuu!" Lavi screamed as he quickly crawled his way towards beside Kanda. He stared directly into Kanda's face and continued calling him.

"Yuu! Yuu! Yuu!"

"Kanda!" Lenalee cried out and quickly turned back to glare with a pair of furious and murderous eyes, with tears already formed, at the Akuma, who was laughing and rejoicing thinking he had killed an exorcist.

"Yes!" cried out the Akuma triumphantly. "I've killed an exorcist! Lulubell-sama will be so pleased!"

"Shut up!" screamed Lenalee as she powered up, her weapon responded to her anger, dashed at a higher speed towards the Akuma to kick through literally the last tail it had that had stabbed Kanda.

"GAH!" the Akuma screamed in pain as its last tail was amputated.

"NEVER hurt my nakama again," Lenalee declared to the Akuma with her eyes covered by her bangs.

After that, the Akuma was destroyed without Lenalee needing to do anything. Allen had given the finishing blow with his gun on his left arm from behind the Akuma, who soon exploded.

When the smoke from the explosion subsided, Allen quickly ran towards Lenalee to ask if everyone's all right. However Allen realised Lenalee was crying.

"Lenalee?" Allen asked, worried and scared.

"Allen-kun…" Lenalee still didn't see eye to eye with her white-haired nakama.

Allen was about to ask further questions when he was interrupted by Lavi's screams.

"Yuu! Yuu! Yuu!" Lavi screamed while tears were flowing heavily from his eye. Though his vision was beginning to blur, he still continued to stare at the Japanese swordsman's unconscious body.

"Kanda!" Allen noticed Kanda's body on a circle of red snow and quickly made his way towards him and Lavi, while Lenalee, still crying, noticed something else.

'Lavi called Kanda? By his…?' Lenalee thought as she spun around to look at the scene, tears still flowing from her eyes.

Lucas also noticed the strange calling from the redhead and only watched the scene in silence.

"Yuu!" Lavi continued shouting at Kanda. "Yuu! Please wake up! Open your goddamn eyes! Please… I beg you…"

Upon Lavi's beg, Kanda eyes started to open.

"Kanda!"

"Yuu!"

Both Allen and Lavi cried when they noticed the opening eyes. Kanda then looked into Lavi's left eye.

"Lavi…" Kanda managed to breathe out words while he raised his hands to touch Lavi's left cheek. He then actually smiled, despite his severe wound.

"You… just… called… my… na-… name…"

"Huh?" Lavi blinked at the comment made by Kanda, and only then he realised he had been calling Kanda's first name without knowing how and why.

"I…" Lavi was about to say something when Kanda's hand left his face and fell onto the ground, indicating Kanda's loss of his conscious.

"Kanda?" Allen spoke softly when Kanda closed his eyes. When he realised his nakama was not waking up, he screamed.

"KANDA!"
