Chapter 12
Sparks, Spooks, Slew
I fiddle with my hands that hang in front of my chest. When I said that my heart jumped and I feel warm. I've never felt like this before. This feeling is so strong-it might suffocate me. It doesn't help that Lavi is giving me his unreadable look and I knew he was thinking really, really hard. After minutes of absolute torture, Lavi grabs my wrist and pushes me in the mall, snickering the whole time. "I knew it!" He exclaimed.
Huh? "What are you talking about?" I mutter, taking a look at his smirk before I find my feet again.
Lavi spins me around, putting his hand on his hip. He took his favorite stance when he likes to prove people wrong, but since he's around me, he's a little sloppy with it giving him mor eof a teenage girl image. It's bad he's too musculine too completely pull that off. I'm sure Allen could. . . . But if Allen does it in front of me, I'll laugh and laugh. I have to push that away though. Lavi is trying to get my attention. He's snapping his fingers in front of my face. "Lenalee, hon, dear, chicky, sweet, I've known for a long time you like him. I just didn't think that after that horrible, horrible ill-minded, cursed, retched man who, dare I say, broke your fragile heart, you'd be liking anyone this soon. It's not everyday you get a boyfriend and find out how despicable he really is, but. . . . Here I am! I'll help you, babe. Right now, here's what I think." Lavi tells me, grabbing a piece of paper out of his pocket and holding it up to a wall. I curiously stalk over to it and read it. I blush when I see he made a chart of the possible candidates I would like. It sort of angers me, but it's okay I guess, I mean, he didn't put himself on there, but Kanda? I don't think I have enough patience to deal with him. I used to have a crush on him, but um, it didn't work out. I learned you have to have a lot of patience for friends and family, but a lot more for your lover. "Lenalee, hon, look here."
I roll my eyes at Lavi playfully as he points at the neatly drawn chart. "I went in and did the math. Rearranged some thoughts and memories, the cuties, the usual. I found, you like Kanda 59% better than most other guys, but I figured it's mor elike a brotherly-sisterly thing. Then there's that one athlete with the abs and all the muscles at school, but I don't know about you and him. He's a flirt. You wouldn't be able to handle that. So he's a. . . 2%."
"Lavi!"
"But this chart is only the possibly crushes sector. You see all these guys, Kendall, Cody, Andre, them, they are NOT good enough to make it on the love chart for Lenalee Lee. Trust me, I've researched and urgh, they don't meet my standards." Lavi said, taking the chart away from my eyes and pushing another hand-drawn chart in my face. "This is your love chart, sweetie."
I grudgingly take the chart. I had to see who he thought I liked, well, this chart is love. My hands start shaking with amusement when I see Lavi put himself on this one and put himself as the top rated. "Ahem, I am the love chart instructer. For the next three minutes I will explain to you your love chart. Let's start with moi. I am at 100% because I am just that superbly lovable and my awesomeness blinds ya. Next we have Yuu Kanda, the ole pessimistic lug is at a whopping 27%. Then we have contender numba three! Fancy dancy Allen Walker! As you can see he is on this chart my fair lady, the only one to beat himself away from the like-possibly crushes sector. This chart, of course, includes attractiveness, personality compatiblity, fondness, and closeness, so ding ding ding. We have a new doll! This young man is at. . . . 67%, but remember, I have yet to hear your story so during the course of this day we will see the scale drop or rise. Thank you for your cooperation, have a fantabulous day!" Lavi chirped gleefully.
I look around to make sure nobody I know is around. Right now, though, there aren't many people in the mall today. It is Sunday and it's not lunch hour yet. Phew. I was a little fascinated by his charts nevertheless. I think he overdid himself, but I love all three of them. The problem is, we're talking possible romance here with Allen and Lavi put himself at the top. If he's trying to say he's my type he is wrong. At least, I just can't think of him that way. I had so many questions to ask Lavi and so many stories to tell him, but I was still stuck pondering about the other night when Allen spilled out everything about what he regrets. Since then I wanted to talk to him about Tyki. I am positive he'll listen intently. "Did you make a chart for Allen?" I ask.
"Well, duh. I make a chart for all my friends. It's fun, hon. Anyways, I can't show you it. Maybe if you find you don't like him at all or if you both hook up then I'll let ya get a peek."
"But-"
"You're not getting to the point. Come on, let's going get something to eat and then we'll talk, and ooh, don't you need new shoes, girl? Just keep away the heels and I'll buy them all for you. We'll talk some more after that and. . . We'll go from there." Lavi told me, walking off to the food court.
Lavi and I both got a both got a cherry-berry smoothies. Lavi was the only one to get some food, but I waited for him to scarf down him double cheeseburger and chilli cheese dog. I fairly ate his fries, but he gave them to me to begin with. Taking one more sip from my large smoothie, I tapped my fingers on the table and stared at Lavi with a semi-smile. "I just want to make this part clear before we go too far. Allen doesn't seem like it, but. . . do you think Allen is gay?" I bit my tongue.
"Oh God, Lena, no. He's just shy. I tested that theory the firs tday we met him, do ya recall that time?" He said with a smirk.
I gasped. "You were hititng on Allen!"
"No, I was flirting and playing around. Besides, I'm bi, so it doesn't matter who I hit on becase I swong both ways. I get the best of both worlds. Isn't that why you came to me, precious?" Lavi said, leaning forward with interest. "Ya jealous?"
"N-no. . . I am not the jealous type."
Now it was Lavi's turn to roll his eye at me. "It don't matter if you're the jealous type, hon. What matters is you don't like the fact somebody messes with the person you like, so you get angry, envious, need I continue?"
I stick my tongue out at -it-all. In return he holds up his middle finger and sticks his tongue out. I gasp, smacking his hand. "Do it again and I'll get Komui on your ass." I threaten. It was amazing how fast Lavi folded his hands in his lap, but put one leg over the other. I said I needed a 'girlfriend' so he's going all out with his total gay mode. I mean, he is bisexual, but this is Lavi. If you want him to act completely straight, he can do it. If you want hom to act completely gay, he's the master of masters. With his personality some people don't know if he's either straight or gay, though. I was the first to figure it out, but I hold one fond memory close in my mind with Lavi. When Lavi decided to make Kanda join the band, the only way we could get him to join Lavi's band was to have Lavi go all fluffy on him. It was HILARIOUS! "Much better."
"I don't know where Komui gets you're pure." He grumbles. "So, hon, tell me."
"Stop calling me hon."
"I can switch to Bon Bon."
I glare at him, but leave it at that. I need to get this off my chest. "A few nights ago after practice Allen stayed in HQ, but I wasn't sure why. The only reason why I went back there was to get my purse. So then I found Allen playing his keyboard, but I odn't know what he was playing. I only heard a few keys before I said something and he stopped, but then. . . Allen was acting a little strange. Like, um, he was emitting a bad, sulking aura. We were all aware he has something weighing on his mind and, well, I finally found out what turned him into a-what's the word? I have it on the tip of my tongue. . . An empty shell."
"That's two words, precious." Lavi said, taking a long and loud slurp of his smoothie.
"Whatever, do you want to hear it or not?"
"I do, and I am listening. *Sigh* What did he do?"
"Nothing."
"Say?"
"Everything!"
Lavi's eye popped out. "Everything?"
Now I am confused. Lavi can often have a dirty mind so I'm not sur eeverything was a good word. "Lavi, what I meant was he told me everything about his past. What he could retain, that is."
Lavi shook his head and his hands slammed on the table. His chair screeched bac k as he leaned forward, possibly an inch away from my face, and he stoo dthere wide-eyed. "HE TOLD YOU?"
I set my hands on his shoulders and nodded. Lavi slightly slouched, but his emerald met my violet with a serious aura. You could see his smug smirk was agruing with his will to turn upside down and flop into a pout so he could whine about how unfair that was or that he was going to march up to Allen door and yell at him or worse-when Allen goes to bed he'll sneak in the house and creep into Allen's bed and sleep there with him so when Allen wakes up and sees him he'll panic and scream. KNowing Lavi he'll probably say something like "I had fun last night, love," or he'll say, "Wow, Allen, you're better than Yuu," or he'll say-
"Interesting." Lavi whispered, his eye dancing with excitement as he sat back down, but this time he sat beside me. "Ya mind exlaining some details. You know I won't time, my lovely gal."
"He trusted me with his past and I'm not telling. It's very personal and sad." I replied stubbornly. "Honestly, Lavi, how insignificant do you think I am? You keep down-grading me!"
Lavi crossed his arms across his puffed out chest. He gave me his best puppy eyes look that I always fall for, but I just ignore him and swat his head. "You can be such a baby, Lavi."
Lavi sighed, drinking his cold smoothie and leaning his chair back on two legs, beginning to rock back and forth. Not once would he turn his attention away from me. He was being serious now. It made the air change it's bubbly mood to a somewhat irking one. He had to of noticed how uncomfortable I was right now because he smiled lazily and his eyes twinkled like always. "Babe, I can read Allen like a book just like he can read me and Kanda and you. He's a rare find, but I can tell you what happened without him telling me. I bet my rear end that Allen was either in a gang or did drugs, probably both."
I slapped Lavi so hard he fell out of the chair. I didn't mean to put much force into that, but I just panicked. What if Allen heard somehow? What if anyone from school heard? What if the wrong person heard! So I put my hand in front of my mouth and Lavi soon follows suit, but not without flicking my head. "Bitch!"
"Jackass." I grumble, slanting my eyes. "How'd you know?"
"His scar is a dead giveaway. The only time you'll ever see junk like that is in the ghetto or form some physco artist or from people who spray paint walls and stuff, that kind of things. Not to mention he said he was so ashamed to even meet his family in person. I can't think of anything other than gangs and drugs that would force somebody like Allen into living with Cross. Have you seen him gamble and drink! Unbelievale. Furthermore, I can't think of anything else to give him that much trauma or mess with his head other than gangs and drugs. All I have to say is that he is just lucky they hadn't seen his arm when they first met him. To show something like that you have to prove yourself in a gang and show them you have the iron fist and if you mess with them-kkkksss." Lavi ran a finger across his throat. "That stuff can really send people into depression, Lenalee. Very few people ever get over that, some go crzy because they did it too long, other commit suicide for the regrets and to ease the pain. I bet Allen was even nicer before he did all that, too. After time it tore him down and he played a game with the world with a mask on. It doesn't help Allen is only 15 now, which means when he did all this he was just a young kid. That will really tear at him. It's something hard to escape and people never know if thye should tell anyone they meet or keep it to themselves and try to bury the past."
How did Lavi know so much? I don't remember hearing any of this in our health class or from Komui or form anybody. Bookman had to of told him or Lavi knew someone else who had done the same thing. "Are you saying Allen may never heal his heart?"
"His mind may break soon. There's only one cure for something like that and it's true love. So, spill it! What else happened that night sweet thang?" Lavi dramatically said, pressing his shoulder against mine in anticipation.
The good hting is that he changed the mood, but when he asked for what has been on my mind for the last few days and nights and my dreams. It is getting on my nerve, but I don't want it to go. Allen gives me this pleasant feeling. "While he told me, we were hugging the whole time." I say sheepishly as I hold the smoothie in my hands, leaving Lavi's eye contact the for the first time today.
"And?"
"I have htis fuzzy, boiling hot feeling in my stomach with a knot in my heart."
"And?"
"He gave me a kiss on the cheek."
"And?"
"I gave him a kiss on his cheek."
"And?"
"There really isn't anything else besides us sleeping there at HQ that night."
I hate it that I blush every time I think about that. Every time that I think about the close proxminity between us. Every time I say something wrong in front of Allen or when he does something so cute and adorable. Every time I think about Allen. I hate it, it's so distressing and discomfiting. That only makes my face heat up more! Definitely if I'm in front of Allen. "And?"
"There isn't anything else! I swear."
"Oh, really? You haven't done anything different these past few days?" Lavi asked.
"Let's see, at practice I play my music with ya, then I talk to all of you, then I head home and I go in my room and I wrote a song. Very childish. So don't ask to use it for the band! It'll be humiliating to sing it in front of people." I bark at him because I knew he would ask about the song for the band, he's like that, but I won't cater to his every whim. I still don't think I should have said it so rudely. So I fix myself and silently eye the people coming in slowly and talking about something I can't hear. Lavi hadn't said anything and that worried me.
"Can I see the song? I don't need ot hear or anything. I just want to read the words." Lavi told me.
It just so happens I brough tit with me. I was hoping of running into Allen later and sing it in front of him. He would appraise me because I wrote a song. He wouldn't say anything about any quirks if there were any and I don't think they are, but Lavi wants to see it. I warily took the song out of my pocket, wondering how he knew I had it-was he a mindreader?-and he laid it on the table. I could see his eyes skimming the words, both feet and both hands tapping the song's beat. "I like it, but Kanda wouldn't so it is a no. However, what were you thinking of when you wrote this?" Lavi said.
I turn my head around and slump forward. My hair started to cover my eyes and he handed the paper back to me. I just let it sit there. "A-Allen. . . Tha-that ni-night."
"Oooooooh!" He cooed, putting his arm around my shoulders. "How's your dreams going?"
I squeeze my hands around the plastic cup nervously. "Dandy."
"Your thoughts?"
"Swell."
"Daydreams?"
"Knock it off! It's. . . it's. . "
Lavi smirked, jumping out of his seat and hugigng me to death. "It's love, young one!" He grabs my hands and jumps up and down. "The scale is bumped up to 89%!" Lavi's head turns and turns and he searches for something. When he finds whatever it is, he makes me look at it and placed his hand on my head. "Look at the hunk of man over there. He's goregous! Your thoughts?"
I suppose Lavi is right, but before I could squeal and excitingly agree with my friend, I rub my shoulder and stare elsewhere, feeling wrong about that. I couldn't. It felt wrong. "He's okay. Not that attractive."
"Hmmm, dear, baby, honey, we have a lot of work to do. You are in love, baby! We need ot get you new clothes,mor eof that really expensive perfume you really like, shoes, uh, make up! It's beautification time." Lavi exclaimed gleefully, still jumping up and down like an 8-year-old. "Come on, come on, come on. I got money, you got money, and you got credit cards and Komui will be. . . . oh shit, Komui. How are we going to do this with Komui? He's gonna be a big problem."
"Why do I need all that stuff?"
"We need to get you to grab Allen's attention. You got wear something abstoluely stunning and daring, hon. Grab his attention wiht your sexiness and wham, you're another step closer. Trust me, guys love it, even sweety-shy ones like our favorite white-haired boy." Lavi said, his hands soaring around in midair and I hardly miss getting hit.
"Lavi, I don't need to dress up like that. Let's not forget there's no way Komui will let me get too dressy and I can't even change in school because he works there. He drops me off at the places I go and watches you pick me up. He's my stalking brother! If there's no damn special occasion then I won't get away with it!" I tell him sadly. It was tempting, but with a brother like mine-FORGET IT. He barely lets me out of the house in a skirt! Isn't that ridiculous? Do you have any idea how hard it is to let him let me be in a band with no other girls? In addition to that, I don't know if I could handle Allen's eyes on me too much. Allen. . . . Allen. . . . Me. . . . "What the did you say?"
"You need accessories! Plus, you're gonna lov eme for this, but there a special occasion you can get away with dressing up without a too much of a complaint from your complex babysitter." Lavi said in a sing-song way.
"No, before that!"
"We have a lot of work to do."
"I think it was after."
Lavi grinned, placing his hands on both of my arms. It wasn't his actions that caused my heart to speed up, it was what I thought he was about to say. "You. Are. In. L-O-V-E! Love! Lenalee's in love. Lenalee's in love. Lenalee's in love." And htere he goes, skipping around the stores and peeking at the expensive junk in the windows.
"I'm. . . In Love? . . With Allen?" I think the room is spinning. Sitting down, I put my hand over my heart that seemed to have composed itself. I wasn't faint nor queasy nor upset nor disturbed nor anything I have been like these few days. I have this tranquil emotion. It was extremely pleasant to feel. And I understand it well. I have perceived this before. It's something so distinguishable that it's undeniable. It was treacly. It made me want to be near Allen. My heart's concinnity was conciliated, beating softly in such simplicity. "I'm in love with Allen." Then my heart skips when I say those words. Those used-to-be unspeakable and unthinkable words.
"That's right." Lavi crouches down in front of me. "I'm the love doctor. I will aid you in your situation. We need the perfect time for you to confess your love to him. Just remember, music is also just as important as your lovey-dovey stuff, Lenalee."
I gently nod my head because I think it might fall off if I move too much. "As I was saying, I know the occasion where Komui wouldn't bother you too much with getting dressy. The Christmas Ball Party we celebrate every year. It'l be perfect. It's Christmas. What's a better Christmas gift than love? It'll be so romantic. I envy you. If I hadn't know you had some kind of attachment to him I may have stolen him! But oh well, I got to find a little girl of my own for the party. Do you think Jamie Ansderson would be good to go with me? Or Yasmine Donte? Rosalie Callie is also H-O-T."
That was the perfect day. On Christmas every year I dress up extra special. All my friends will be there. It is my Brother who hosts it and he leases a big building for it each year. That's why it a ball and a party. We exchange gifts and conversations, we dance. Oh, I wonder if Allen can dance. . . . That'd be nice. . . "But Lavi, I think Allen does like me. For th elongest time I believed he did, but this I started to doubt it. Now I'm not so sure." I admit sourly.
Lavi taps his chin with his finger and I wonde rwhat he is thinking. Is he making a plan? He has millions of those. He is the smartest person I've ever met after all. Smarter than my own Brother."Let me take care of that, Lenalee. I swear I won't try to steal his heart." He gives me a small hug. It didn't even come close to how great Allen's hug was despite him being sad then. "You just continue acting normal and prepare everything for Christmas. Now, let's go shopping! We have to get gifts!"
! Tuesday ! L+A+V+I !
"One, Two, Three, Four
Uno, Dos, Trea, cuatro
I know you want me (Want me)
You know I want cha (Want cha)."
"I know you want me (Want me)
You know I want cha (Want cha)
I know you want me (Want me)
You know I want cha (Want cha)."
I love this song. It fits me perfectly, don't ya think? Of course you do. I'm just that awesomely amazing. Wohoo. Hmmm. . .
"You say that I'm messing with your head
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
All because I was making out with your friend
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Love hurt whether it's right or wrong."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You're on your knees
Begging please-Stay With Me
But honestly I just need to be a little crazzzyy."
"All my life I've been good, but now!
I(aaaahh)'m thinking, what the hell?
All I want is to mess around!
And I(aaaah) don't really care about!"
"If you love me!
If you hate me!"
That song is good, too. Very likable and totally me. Half the time. Aren't I not crazy? Leave me alone about my grammar, too. Correct it and I'll go all Yuu on you! Ahahahahaha, it's such a great day. School went by smoothly, practice has been great, but one problem. No gigs! We haven't had any since Allen joooooiiinnneeedd! Noooooo! We need to spread the word about Lavi's band! Hmmm, there has to be a better way to do this. The gigs don't give you much money since we have to split it between four people. We need a way to get more money and more opportunities. I should look for cool competitions. I don't want to do the ones on TV because thye have those every year. You know, Dancing With The Starz, American Idol, America Gots Talent, oh, they got X-factor in America now, too. That one is interesting, but who remembers all these talented people from those shows? And some of them have nothing to do with music or it is a single party singing show. I'm in a band! Hello! Though I am positive they'd all remember me. Just look at my face. Besides, there are some people who have gone on those shows only for the reward or something. Half the time I never hear about them even if they win. No disrespect men, ladies, children of all ages, but. . . . it doesn't suit me. Nor Yuu. Yuu would tear the judges apart.
That's why I am hiring a babysitter for Yuu.
"I'm sexy and I know it
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle
Ah, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle
Do the wiggle, yeah."
"I'M SEXY AND I KNOW IT!"
Another song that fits me perfectly. You want to know what also makes this day great? I'm walking down the street and everyone is looking at me as I sing my songs. Yup, they so want me. I'm so good I can make straight guys go gay. As of late, though, I feel more lust for the girls this time. That's what happens when you choose to go bi, y'know? One month you're about the girls, the other it's the guys, and the next you have a hassle with both. Hell, it doesn't even last months for me. Anyways. . .
They so want me. My singing is AWESOME. I am AWESOME. I am SEXY. Spread the love!
Okay, serious mode.
I think today is great because I got my bag and my bunny slippers in it. I am staying over at Allen's tonight. Courtesy of moi and Allen's loving Uncle. Shhh, Allen don't know yet. I wonder if he's home yet? Well, there's only one way to find out. Raise my finger, push the doorbell, take the other hand, grab the silvery door knocker, gently knock it against the door. . . . There's no answer. Okay, Lavi the Great, I the almighty, will repeat the process. Put one finger against doorbell, other hand grabs the door knocker, then repeatedly press the doorbell so it rings and loudly bang on the door like there is a maniac behind me with a gun. "Open up! Hey! Open your freaking door! I'm freezing out here! OPEN UP! I'M HERE! HELLO? OPEN! YO, YANKEE DOODLE, OPEN THE DOOR RIGHT NOW! DON'T MAKE ME GO YUU ON YOU WALKERS AND THE RETCHED DRUNK! I AM HERE TO BRIGHTEN YOUR DAY AND BRING YOU PEACE!" Don't worry, they love me.
Nobody is answerng. I wonder if they went for a walk. It's only 20 degrees below zero today. Not bad. I could go slammin' in my jammy's out here. Okay, one more try. A little more of a subtle approach. Ring the doorbell repeatedly. Knock on the door loudly. "HELLO! I GOT FREE EXPENSIVE BEER FOR FREE AND ONE BILLION DOLLARS FOR THE WALKER FAMILY! C'MON, YOU DON"T WANT THESE HOT WOMEN OUT HERE ALL DAY!"
My hand is nearly yanked off when Cross opens the door and scrutinizes me. Moments pass as he inspects me and the area. A green beer bottle in his hand and I grin. I knew it would work that time. "Damn liar, go home. . . . Who are you again?"
My jaw drops to the ground in total disbelief. How could Cross not remember me? ME! Well, damn him to hell. Satan spawn-be gone! "I'm Lavi Bookman. Allen's best friend. Well, let me in." I say flatly, trying to make my way in, but his arm blocks me as his hand slams on the edge of the doorway.
"Cross, what are you doing?"
I don't recognize that voice. I wonder who that is. Looking inside the mansion replica, I find a woman, most likely Chinese. Her long black hair is held up in a thin ponytail that runs along her back in a single golden clip. Just like Lenalee, she had violet eyes and one hell of a figure. "STRIKE!" Angel wings start carrying me over to this Goddess I have yet to meet. "Hello there, my name is Lavi Bookman! What's yours?"
She laughed melodically. I grab her hands and shake them gently. "Will you marry me?" And she laughs some more.
A hand grabs the back of my collar and picks me up. I frown when my hand is departing hers and glare at the person who picked me up. "Keep your hands off her, bastard." Cross growls, him and me glaring at the other.
"Cross, please put him down. You know I love you. I thought I heard him say something about Allen."
Doing as direct, Cross 'gently' throws me on the ground and I fear he'll start pounding my face in the floor. I am surprised when he doesn't pounce on me. I had no idea I was messing with Cross' lady. Not like she'll last long. Allen said he never stays with a woman long. Only long enough for his 'pleasurable luxurious fun'. I still would never ever ever ever ever ever ever EVER mess with one of his lovers. "That's right. I'm Allen's best friend. Band members, too." I tell her proudly, puffing out my chest with pride.
"So? What ar eyou doing here?" Cross demands.
"And you better stay away from Anita."
Another unrecognizable voice. I turn around to see a man with bulky muscles and that's like-what-eight feet tall! What scares me is that he is cracking his knuckles. Is he ging to punch me? Not in the face! Not in the face! "Stop that, both of you. He is one of Allen's friends and he's a guest to his home. Don't you know how to treat your guests, Marian?" Anita says playfully as she rubs his shoulder. "Don't mind them. Mahoja, she can be a little protective."
She? The he's a she? No way! Wait, it has puffy breats that must be boobs! How could I miss that? It doesn't matter! It doesn't make her less scarier! Carefully, calmly, walk away. "Okay, okay, sorry. I didn't mean to offend anybody." I say. "So where's Allen?"
"He's in his room, Lavi." Neah tells me as he randomly pops up behind me with a freaky grin. What is up with this household? I thought mine was bad, but this place is scary, dangerous, creepy, dangerous, deathly, fathomly, dangerous, bitterly sweet with, and did I mention DANGEROUS? "I'm glad to see you made it safely and in time." Neah says with a damn scary smile as he rubs his hands together.
I back away slowly. "Really? Is there a blizzard coming? Perhaps I should go home?" They're scaring me worse than Kanda's sword he has with him sometimes.
"Indeed, a blizzard is coming. School may be cancelled for the rest of the week. That's okay, though. Next week there isn't any school because of Christmas break. You'l just have to make up three days that you were supposed to have off. What a pity." Neah declared.
"Then I shall go. Don't want to get stuck here, do I?" I announce and try to leave, but Neah grabs my jacket and pulls me back.
"Oh no, no, no, no. We mustn't let you leave the house, Lavi. You see, the storm is beginning very soon and you may not make it back to your home. We wouldn't want to upset your Grandfather if you get stuck in the storm and we find you in a few days, frozen and numb. We don't want to amputate any of your limbs or send you out there to get pneumonia, or worse, freeze to death. No, no, no, no, we can't allow that at all. You will stay the night just like planned. I was so kind to even call Bookman and warn him about te situation. So you're in my care, you're my responsibility." Neah stated, taking my jacket off and hanging it of the coat rack, taking my bag from me and placing it by the bottom stair. "Oh, and please take your shoes off by the door."
"I'd rather take the chance of amputation and pneumonia." I say, trying to gather my things again.
"Maybe we'll be lucky enough for a casualty this Christmas. They ought to bury you out of the snow and dirt by Thanksgiving next year." Cross grumbles, stalking off.
What have I gotten myself into? At least I won't be alone. Yuu is coming! He'll be here in a few minutes. Bunt dunt dunt duuh, bunt dunt dunt duuh, bunt dunt dunt duuh, bunt dunt dunt duuh. He's here. "~ Don't worry, I'll get that!~" Neah chimed.
Neah crawls to the door, opening it slowly and I gulp as the door creaks. Neah ushers Yuu in and does the same thing to him as he did me, but it was a little harder to get him to stay. I just creep over to the shadows and trying to remain invisible, but Neah finds me and starts pushing Yuu and I somewhere. The dungeon? Ahhhhh! Help! Allen! Where is htat little beansprout? "Come with me, Lavi, Yuu, I have a surprise for you." Neah chimes again, ending up in front of us and guiding us up the stairs and down the hall in a completely different direction then Allen's room. We stop in front of a solid black door and we're at the other end of the house completely and it's so dark. When Neah opens the door I shudder and try to squirm away. "Oh, and welcome to the Walker household. I pray you have a nice stay with us." And he laughs to add effect.
Since when was the doorbell so scary?

It may not be as funny as I planned it in my mind, though. . . . Continue reading?
