Hey guys! So I decided to do a chapter for Fourth of July! Enjoy and Review with any ideas please!

Red, White, and Blue

Red is for the blood that spilt upon the earthen ground.

White is for the flag they raised, they gave up and moved out.

Blue is for the tears that fell from both sides on that day.

Together the colors on our flag commemorate that day.

So everyday we should salute the soldiers that have died.

Not just on Independence day, salute the soldiers now.

The blood that stained the white, white flag, the sky was blue that day.

And that is why the flag is colored with red, white and blue.

Remember why they call it Independence Day.

Allen's Point of View

Nothing ever goes right for me. This year Master decided that he wanted to celebrate with me. I wasn't sure if it was a good thing or a bad thing that he wanted to be with me. He had gotten much better I guess.

Sometimes he hits me but not often. After Kanda's birthday we had all decided that we were going to meet up for fourth of July. None of my friends know where I work yet though.

I sighed as I closed my notebook. I was sitting at the front desk of the tattoo shop. No one had come in yet and I was super bored. Then I caught a glimpse of long blue hair.

"Crap. That can't be Kanda." I thought to myself. I quickly grabbed my sweatshirt and sunglasses and covered my face. He walked in and came to the front desk, looking around.

"Hey! Welcome to Tattoo arts. How may I help you?" I said, making sure my voice sounded lower than normal. He turned toward me. "I was wondering if I could get a tattoo of a lotus flower."

I nodded. "Right this way sir." I said, standing up and walking to the back where there was the tattoo station. "Fou must have planned this." I thought to myself.

"Do I... know you?" Kanda asked me. I turned away, pretending to do something else. "No I don't think so." I said, turning back toward him.

"Where do you want it?" I asked, starting up the needle. He smirked and pulled his shirt off and I tried not to fall over. "Right here." He said, pointing to the left side of his collar bone.

I gulped. In order for me to do the tattoo I would have to straddle him. Not that I minded but I had to keep this a secret from him. I'm not even sure why I was keeping it a secret. Maybe I was afraid of him rejecting me.

"Um sir in order for me to do the tattoo I would have to straddle your waist. Don't you have a girlfriend sir?" I asked him, wanting to see what he would say. "Oh that's fine. Go ahead." (He came in a 2:00! This is not the actual thing btw :P)

Internally I sighed. "Okay sir." I straddled his waist and started on the tattoo. "I wonder what this flower means to him." I thought to myself as I finished the outline.

As I finished the tattoo I looked at Kanda who had his eyes closed. "Sir your tattoo is done." I said, quickly getting off of him. "Thank you. How much do I own you?" He asked me, pulling his shirt on.

"Lets see. I believe $200 is enough." He nodded and pulled out his wallet. He handed me the bill. "By the way I've been meaning to ask. Do I know you from somewhere?" I gulped and looked down.

"No I don't think so. I've never seen you before." He nodded and left and I breathed a sigh of relief. He almost caught me...

Kanda's Point of View

"I know I've seen him somewhere before but I can't put my finger on it." I thought to myself as I left the tattoo shop. I had finally decided to keep my promise to her.

Years ago, my sister, Natalie, had been taken from us. Just before she died, she asked me to do something for her. "Big Brother? Will you remember me? Find a way to keep my Lotus flower alive okay?"

I decided that the best way to keep her flower alive and with me was to get a tattoo. I put my hand over my shoulder, where the lotus flower was. "I'll never forget you little sister." I thought to myself as I walked to my car.

I pulled out my phone and looked at the time. It was almost 4:00 in the afternoon and Allen was almost out of work. We had all decided to meet up and have a little Fourth of July party.

I was only going so I could see Allen. This was our earlier conversation... Earlier that day... "Hey Kanda! Do you want to shoot off fireworks tonight?" Allen asked excitedly.

I sighed. "What time?" I asked tiredly and watched as Allen brightened up. "Really!? You'll come?!" I nodded, already regretting the answer to his questions.

"Well I get off work at 4:15 so how about we meet up a Lavi's at 5:00?" He asked me smiling. He looked happier these days. I was just glad that he was okay now.

"Sure whatever." He wrapped his arms around me tightly and I felt my face heat up. "W-What are you doing?" I asked him. He looked up at me and smiled.

"Thanks Kanda. See you later." Then he let me go and walked off.

Back to the present time...

I sighed. What had I gotten myself into.

Allen's Point of View

Finally done with work. "Bye Fou! Have a nice weekend!" I yelled back to her as I grabbed my things. "You too sweetie! Take care of that hot boy of yours okay?"

I blushed. "Whatever!" I called back, smiling slightly. I hopped into my car and smiled again. "I get to see Kanda again!" I quickly went home and opened the door.

"Master I'm home!" I walked in and put my stuff on the chair. I walked into the kitchen and looked around, seeing a piece of paper on the counter.

Dear Allen,

Gone out with some friends. Be back later tonight. Don't stay out late or else.

Yours truly

Cross Marian

I sighed. Guess I'm safe again huh? I grabbed my coat and went outside to my car. Just as I got into my car, my phone rang. "Hello?" "Hey Allen buddy! Where are ya?"

"Oh I'm coming right now." "Better hurry cause Kanda is here waiting. We don't want him to be mad." "Shut it." I hung up and smiled. Oh well I still get to see Kanda!

At Lavi's house...

"Hey guys!" I said smiling and sitting down next to Kanda and Lenalee. "So is Lavi the one lighting the fireworks tonight?" I asked, snuggling into Kanda's side.

I was still wondering about his tattoo and what it meant to him, but right now I was worrying about our safety. "Yeah! He's great at this kind of thing." Lenalee said smiling.

I smiled and nodded, turning towards Kanda. "And how are you today?" I said, leaning up and kissing him. He smiled slightly at me. Kanda, though cold hearted, has a soft heart for me.

That half smile was only for me to see. "I'm better now that I have you in my arms." He said, leaning down and kissing me softly. "Can we do something?" I asked, my eyes glittering.

"Sure. What is it?" I stood and and grabbed his hand, pulling him along with me. I walked over to where the sparklers were and grabbed two of them.

"Here." I said, and I handed him a lit one. "Now lets dance with them!" I said laughing as I twirled around with one in my hand. Kanda frowned. "How?"

"Like this!" I said, taking his hand and twirling with him. "See? Isn't this fun?" I laughed and spun around again, then I yelled, "Catch me!" I fell backwards and closed my eyes.

When I opened them I saw Kanda's cobalt eyes looking at me. "That was cute Allen." He said, leaning closer and kissing me softly. I leaned up and kissed him back, wrapping my arms around his neck.

"Happy Fourth of July Kanda." I said quietly. "Happy Fourth of July." He whispered back, kissing me again.

Joy

Joy is something I've never had.

I don't really find it as something bad.

I would have hoped to see something good.

And now that I have I'm happy, I'm good.

You are my joy, you make me smile.

You are the reason that I have to smile.

If this is joy, then please let it stay.

Stay by my side, until the say I lie.

Happy Fourth of July! Review!
