Ghost Hunters
Chapter fourteen: Of confessions and kisses...
Pairing(s): Kanda x Allen, Lavi x Lenalee, Link x Timcanpy and Madarao x Alma.
Warning(s): language, ooc-ness, bastard!Chaoji, slight (or maybe not) Chaoji bashing.
Disclaimer: If I owned D. Gray-man Chaoji would have been dead a long time ago -.- (God I absolutely hate this pathetic excuse of an exorcist) and he would have died painfully slow...
A.N.: Right I can't believe the feedback you guys gave me last chapter ^^ I'm so happy right now :)
Also I'm sorry for the wait but this chapter didn't come out the way I like so I rewrote it like 5 times? But now I'm really happy with the confession and first kiss ^^
I'll be writing that lemon just don't expect it to be published anytime soon. Writing lemons isn't exactly my forte so it may take a while... But I'll be sure to mention it when it is posted on
And now the moment everyone has been waiting for: confession time! ^^
With a scream Allen Walker awoke from his three week long coma. An awaking so abrupt that Kanda – who had been seated in a chair next to the bed – sprang up and drew Mugen before realizing what was going on.
"What the hell? Moyashi…" The rest of what he was going to say was instantly forgotten when he saw tears streaming down pale cheeks.
"Hey what's going on? Come on Allen talk to me." His initial harsh tone softening considerably when he cupped his companion's face.
"It was *sob* only *sob* an awful *sob* memory."
"Shh it's okay now, I'm here." Kanda – much to the younger's surprise – pulled him into a comforting embrace.
The fox-boy placed his head on the shoulder in front of him as sobs continued to rack through his skinny frame.
He calmed down considerably when he felt one large, warm hand pet his hair – the spot in between his ears to be exact – and the other stroke his back.
The stayed in that position – neither of them moving – until Allen's tears had dried up. Only then the albino – reluctantly – removed himself from the embrace.
"I'm sorry master. I …"
"Don't apologize, it's fine."
"Really?"
"Really."
"Thank you."
Silence reigned in the room for a while after that. Both teens were deep in thought. Kanda was thinking that something was wrong with his moyashi. But he couldn't quite figure out what.
The fox-boy on other hand was having an internal debate about the pros and cons of telling his master about his feelings, when Crowned Clown decided to interfere.
"Allen, Charity Bell asked me to remind you about your promise."
"I know but I'm afraid…"
"Trust me Kanda's reaction will be nothing compared to Charity's rage if you don't do it."
"So basically I'm screwed either way?"
"Something like that… Now go tell him!"
"Euhm master… I think I have to tell you something…"
Pressing his two index-fingers together, the albino kept his eyes on them, refusing to look the other in the eyes.
Kanda said nothing but looked expectantly at his companion.
"I … I lo … I lov…" Breath hitching in his throat he was unable to continue. Doubt was steadily taking over his mind.
'What if he doesn't love me? What if he is disgusted by it? I am nothing but a freak, damaged goods, unwanted.'
"Che. Baka moyashi."
"What?"
Before Allen could react, soft lips claimed his own. All thoughts fled his mind as the Japanese exorcist continued to kiss him.
The kiss was cut off short when they both needed to take a breath.
"Master what…?"
"Little slow today Moyashi? Let me spell it out for you: I-L-O-V-E-Y-O-U!"
Silver eyes glistened as tears come back but they were quickly blinked away as the fox-boy smiled brightly.
"I love you too!"
"Che. I already knew that."
"You did? How?"
"For starters you talk in your sleep. And Mugen might have told me last night about your promise with Daisya's Innocence."
"HE DID? Damn you Mugen."
"Hey don't curse my Innocence." Flicking his moyashi on the nose, a gentle smile played across his lips.
"I could have been waiting a long time if I had to wait for you to come clean about your feelings."
"Maybe you're right."
"Tch. Moyashi by now you should know that I'm always right."
Both laughed and gazes locked as they unconsciously leaned forward. Lips met in a second kiss. Only this one was more passionate.
Without being asked – or really knowing what he was doing – Allen opened his mouth and their tongues cautiously met one another.
"So you two finally realized your feeling for each other huh? Took you long enough."
Breaking apart again the two – now lovers – took in the perverted look on doctor Camelot's face.
"Tch what are you doing here?"
"In case you have forgotten I'm his doctor. So Allen, my boy, how is your arm feeling today?"
"My arm?" The albino asked while tilting his head to the side. The sight was so cute that both Sheryl and Kanda blushed.
"Your left one. The one you broke trying to cover for 'Samurai-Wannabe' over here."
Said 'Samurai-Wannabe' now had a murderous look on his face. But he remained silent, hoping for the Noah to hurry up, so that the moyashi and him could go back to what they had been doing before being so rudely interrupted.
"It's fine I guess. It doesn't hurt and WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO IT!"
"When you activated your Innocence for the first time your arm took the form best suited to accommodate it."
"You mean to tell me that my arm will stay like this?"
"Yes." Both the Noah and Japanese exorcist answered. They could really not see why the fox-boy had so much trouble accepting his 'new' arm.
'Clown told me that my arm would look differently but I would have never thought that he meant it like this!'
And differently it looked. The only thing remaining from his 'original' arm were his nails. They were still black and as hard as stone.
Gone were the red, scaly things covering his arm and the veins protruding at his upper arm. Instead his whole arm was now black with a strange pattern on his shoulder.
If he didn't know any better he would say that they were tattoos. Another weird thing was the hardness covering his knuckles. The companion could already see that the flexibility of his left hand's fingers would be a lot less than before.
"If you were to ask me I'd say that you look hot with it. More molestable…"
"Is that even a word?" Allen asked sweat dropping.
"It isn't. And if I see you looking at my moyashi again with your perverted eyes I'll kill you. Or first castrate and then kill you."
Mugen quickly found its way to Sheryl's throat. The latter's eyes widened and he help up his hands in surrendering gesture.
"I was just trying to give his confidence a boost. No need to look for a hidden meaning after my words."
The look on both teenager's face suggested that they did not believe a word the doctor was saying.
Luckily for the Noah, the albino's stomach choose that moment to let them know that it was hungry. The fox-boy looked embarrassed, Kanda surprised and Camelot relieved.
"Well since he looks fine to me, I hereby release him from the ward. Why don't you go take him to the cafeteria?"
And before the other two could react, the Noah-doctor fled the room, leaving a trail of dust in his wake.
"Hey mas… Kanda? What do you really think of my arm?"
The Japanese teen grabbed said deformed arm and pressed the palm against his cheek. When cobalt blue eyes locked with silver, only sincerity was visible in them.
"I think it suits you. But then again I like every part of you."
"Really?" Tears sprang in the companion's eyes yet again but this time they came forth from happiness.
"Really." A small kiss later and both were headed toward the Black Order's cafeteria, holding hands along the way.
XOXOX
Somewhere in one of the hallways – Allen didn't know which one since he had already lost his way – they met up with Howard Link and Timcanpy Nine.
"Al you're alright!"
With a yell of pure joy the smaller blonde threw himself on the fox-boy. However the power of his semi-jump was a little bit too much for the petite companion and it caused them both to land in a heap on the ground.
"Tim!"
"Oops! Sorry?" The look on his face was so sheepishly that nobody could really be mad at him.
"What am I going to do with you?" The older blonde chuckled, shaking his head. Even Kanda had an amused smile on his face.
"Holy Shit! BOPRC's most cold-hearted exorcist is smiling. Everyone hide the Apocalypse is coming!" Fang's owner joked as he caught sight of the unfamiliar expression on the other's face.
"Shut up!"
Unfortunately it did not help for Tim just continued laughing so hard that he nearly chocked.
It was at that point that Link decided to intervene.
"Come on. We have an appointment."
"An appointment?"
"With the vet. Fang needs her monthly check-up."
"I didn't know that a vet worked here…"
"He's also one of the Noahs. You can always go visit him if you want. I'm sure that he would love to meet a companion."
"So where is he?"
"The hallway behind the hospital-ward."
The albino unconsciously nodded his head and made plans in his head to ask his master to visit this man. He had no idea why he wanted to do this but he just did. Like some unknown force was telling him that it would solve a lot of problems.
"Anyway Al be careful!" Another hug and then Tim was dragging his boyfriend away. Said boyfriend had barely the time to wave his goodbye before he disappeared out of sight.
"Come on we are almost at the cafeteria." Gesturing with his head to a certain point in the hallway the Japanese exorcist resumed his way.
XOXOX
Madarao had warned Allen about his increased appetite should his Innocence activate for the first time. But this was slightly more than the albino thought that the man meant.
"Euhm master are you really sure that I can eat all of that?"
"Believe me you can."
Nodding his head the companion looked back at the heap – more like mountain actually – of food in front of him. Kanda had ordered all of his favorite dishes in extra large portions and then they had been 'delivered' by a weird man with pink dreadlocks.
"Thank you for the meal."
The first bite was a little hesitantly but after that the mountain gradually became smaller and smaller until all the food had disappeared in less than 10 minutes.
Most people who had been seated in the cafeteria where now looking at the fox-boy as if he had grown a second head. Even his master was looking very surprised and he had anticipated the scene he had just witnessed.
"So Moyashi are you up for seconds or do you want to come back at a later time?"
Looking at the curious stares directed at him, the companion quickly chose the latter.
Both exorcists were ready to leave when an unfamiliar voice called out Kanda's name. As a response the teen just grunted and looked extremely agitated.
People moved out of the way and just like that the caller was visual to Allen. It was a young man who was about 20 years old and was of Chinese lineage.
Both his hair and his eyes were brown. His hair looked like it just had a meeting with electricity, since it was sticking up in the back. He was not that big and a little fat if Allen was honest.
"Chaoji…" The tone in the Japanese teen's voice couldn't be any more bored.
The other male – now known as 'Chaoji' – just continued his approach before stopping when his eyes fell on the companion next to Kanda.
"Why is there a whore in the order?" Venom dripped from his voice and the glare in his eyes was enough to scare the fox-boy.
Around them various conversations stopped to take in what was happening.
"What did you just call him?" The amount of poison in Kanda's voice was almost equal to that of Chaoji. If not more…
About this time the people in the cafeteria began making their way away from the three. If the Japanese exorcist decided to swing Mugen around, then they would not get caught in the 'crossfire'.
"I called him a whore. That's what his kind is you know. Sweet at first. Obedient and always prepared to do whatever kink you want to try out. But in the end they'll just betray you. Hurt you."
"That's not true! I'm not a whore! And I would never hurt Kanda!"
"Shut up you filth!"
A slap resounded in the silent cafeteria when Chaoji's hand connected to the albino's pale cheek. With a soft 'oof' Allen landed on the floor, tears gathering in his eyes.
If Kanda was angry before than right now he was absolutely murderous… The aura around him was almost visual in the form of a devil floating from his back. But before he could kill the Chinese man, the latter was wacked on the head.
"Chaoji Han what do you think you are doing?"
"Dad?" Standing behind him was Tiedoll. That combined with the 'dad' made the fox-boy incredible confused.
"I heard you call Allen a really hurtful word. Why would you do that?"
"I was only saying the truth."
"The truth in your fucked up brain maybe! Wake up baka, not everyone is bad just because you can stand them for some reason!"
"How would you know Kanda? You were stupid enough to buy that thing in the first place."
"The moyashi has a name."
"Like I care."
"You should because every time you don't call him Allen, Mugen will penetrate that fat belly of yours."
A smirk that send shivers through everyone in the room appeared on the Japanese teen's face as he dealt Chaoji a low blow.
"Are you even aware that your 'dad' bought him for me?"
The look on the man's face was priceless and Allen would have laughed if he wasn't so scared of being slapped again.
"Why would you… NO! You liar! You …. Ah!"
Tiedoll couldn't stand the scene and he grabbed the Chinese man by his ear. Pulling him out of the cafeteria while muttering things under his breath.
Kanda looked impassive for a moment longer before he bent down and picked up the fox-boy. He then proceeded to leave the cafeteria as he carried Allen bridal style.
XOXOX
The hallways passed by in a blur before the Japanese teen stopped in front of a sold wooden door that was labeled: Yuu Kanda.
Allen looked curious but decided not to say anything. He was still a little bit put off about what had just happened.
"I'm sorry about the bastard. But if it is any consolation he acts like that to everyone. Especially if they are either Noah or C.R.O.W.-members."
"Why? What did I ever do wrong to him? And why did he call mister Tiedoll dad?"
"Because the sentimental fool adopted him, just like he has adopted Marie, Daisya and me. Oh and before you get confused Marie is a guy."
Kanda laid himself on his bed and pulled his companion closer to him, stroking the soft white hair.
"Chaoji's father was one of China's most influential politicians before his death. At a certain point in time he was given a companion for his birthday by a fellow politician."
"The man did not really want it but because refusing would be rude he kept the poor girl. Chaoji's mother instantly became jealous and started spreading rumors about companions."
"When that didn't work she started a relationship with the gardener. When Manchu – Chaoji's father – discovered this he divorced her. Mei Lan couldn't endure this 'humiliation' and therefore doubled her efforts in making companions look like whores. Chaoji – of course – believed her end so his hate for them was born."
"Is that the reason he hates me? Because his mother was jealous?"
"You want to know the worst part? Manchu never slept with his companion because he taught she was worth more than just being a lowly prostitute."
Allen was silent for a while absorbing everything that he had just been told. Unfortunately there were many people who hated companions and if what his master had just told him that was because of rumors from jealous partners.
But was that really the reason that he had to pay every time someone thought that he was worth less than dirt on the street? Why couldn't people make up their own minds instead of hating a whole group of people because of the way they look?
"So why does he hates Noahs and C.R.O.W.-members?"
"I'll tell you another time."
Silence reigned in the room for a while and Allen was almost asleep when Kanda's soft voice brought him back to the present.
"Care to tell me about the memory you had before waking up?"
And the fox-boy told him everything. He had to pause at some parts but eventually he was done.
Beside him he could feel the Japanese exorcist trembling with rage. But when his explanation ended the teen calmed back down.
"This doctor Walker does he look like Tyki but then with brown hair?"
Sitting up quickly the albino could not hide the surprise on his face.
"How did you…?"
"Remember the vet Link and Tim were talking about? Well that is doctor Neah Walker."
"Can we meet him?" Excitement coursed through Allen at the thought of meeting his 'savior'.
"Sure. After I got some sleep. In case you've forgotten I've been awake for the better part of the last three weeks waking over a certain moyashi."
"Thank you." The words were said softly and held numerous emotions in them. Kanda just gave him a small, kind smile in return and pulled him back against him.
"Sleep Moyashi."
"My name is Allen."
"Whatever."
And with that both exorcists fell asleep, holding each other close…
TBC…
Feedback is greatly appreciated ^^ So please REVIEW, thank you :)
Next chapter: Kanda introduces his moyashi to Neah Walker and the albino learns more about the man that he called 'father'.
Hugs and kisses
