Lavi got up slowly the next morning. He was slightly regretting how late he stayed up at the goodbye party, but he had fun at it and he would miss everyone. Lavi rolled out of bed and quickly got dress. Komui had all his stuff that he had packed sent out to New York during the party. So all he had to do was get dressed and get into the car Komui got for him. Lavi looked up as his door opened. He smiled when he saw it was Lenalee.
"Hey."
"Are you really going to go to the funeral?" Lenalee asked. Lavi walked over and placed a hand one her shoulder.
"Yes Lenalee. Don't worry. I'll stay out of sight," Lavi reinsured. Lenalee gave a tentative smile. Lavi smiled and walked out, Lenalee following behind him. Lavi nodded to everyone they passed until they got outside. He grinned when he saw the red sports car.
"I can't believe that's the car Komui got me," Lavi said.
"Me neither," Lenalee added. Lavi walked over and got in. He reached into the glove box and found the keys. Lenalee came over and got in also.
"Since you're going to it too, you're going to drive me there," Lenalee stated.
"Alright," Lavi said taking off down the road.
Lenalee walked up to Kanda and Allen. They both looked at her as she walked up.
"Who brought you?" Kanda asked.
"A friend brought me," Lenalee answered. Allen frowned. He looked past her and saw a hint of red hair.
"Let's go guys. Everyone's gathering," Lenalee said and walked past the two. Kanda followed. He noticed Allen wasn't following and turned to yell at him, but saw he was gone. Kanda furrowed his brow. He decided to drop it for now and followed Lenalee.
Allen slammed Lavi against the tree and smirked when he grunted in pain. Lavi glared at him.
"What are you doing here Allen?" Lavi ground out. Allen laughed at him.
"I'm here to support a friend," Allen said mockingly. Lavi glared hatefully at him.
"You're just a bastard. Why did you let Lenalee go?" Lavi demanded.
"Her usefulness was done. Just be happy I didn't let her get killed." Lavi pushed Allen away.
"I suggest you go do what you're here to do then I'd leave town too," Lavi spat.
"And why's that?"
"I am saying goodbye to him and I will tell him who it was that took me," Lavi said smirking. Allen glared at him and stormed off towards the funeral. Lavi watched with satisfaction.
The funeral finished an hour or so later and everyone was leaving. Lenalee pulled Kanda off to the side away from everyone.
"Kanda I somewhat lied when I said a friend brought me," Lenalee said when they were out of ear shot.
"What do you mean Lenalee?" Kanda asked. Lenalee bit her lip nervously.
"Lavi brought me," she said averting her gaze. Kanda grabbed her shoulders and shook her slightly.
"Why didn't you call me? Don't you know that he's wanted?!" Kanda said angrily. Lenalee looked him straight in the eyes.
"I know. But I'm part of the Black Order too. I don't do things like Lavi. I just help get information for him," Lenalee said. Kanda let go of her and let out a heavy sigh.
"Lenalee-"
"Just listen. I was trying to stop him from coming today. But he didn't listen. He's been hidden the entire time. Daisaya was his friend too. Lavi wants to talk to you before he leaves," Lenalee said. Kanda was about to argue with her but stopped when she glared.
"Just talk to him," she said before turning on her heel and leaving. Kanda watched her go. He felt like he just lost a gun fight, but with words. He looked around and saw the patch of red and quickly walked towards it. When he was close enough he could see Lavi leaning against the tree.
"I should arrest you right now," Kanda said. Lavi looked up and smiled.
"But Lenalee made you promise just to talk," Lavi finished the rest of the unsaid sentence and Kanda just glared at him. Lavi pushed himself away from the tree and stepped closer to him. Kanda watched him carefully.
"I wanted to say goodbye before I left and say I'm sorry for lying to you," Lavi said.
"You said it. Now leave before I change my mind," Kanda growled.
"I know that even if I leave, you're just going to come after me aren't you detective?"
"How did you-"
"I can read lips from here," Lavi answered. Kanda scoffed and turned to leave. Lavi reached out and grabbed Kanda's hand. Kanda turned and looked at him.
"I also wanted to tell you something else." Kanda just stared at him waiting for him to speak.
"Don't trust anyone around you. No one is who they say they are," Lavi said letting go of Kanda and walked over to the car and got in. Kanda just stared at him wondering what he meant. Lavi looked at him and grinned.
"Hey Yuu!"
"You're not allowed to call me that!" Kanda yelled. Lavi laughed but ignored him.
"Catch me if you can Yuu-chan!" Lavi said before driving off and out of sight. Kanda watched him disappear. A small smirk appeared on his face.
"I accept that challenge," he said walking away to go get ready to begin his new job as a detective.
