Kanda watched over Midnight as she rested. She had yet to get a handle on her new power. Kanda was tempted to slice Hoenheim but Ed and Rose were all ready handling it.

Why Midnight...? Why do I care so much about you even though I know very little about you... Kanda thought to himself as he held in his hands the Egyptian Lotus Atem had given to him. Kanda leaned over Midnight placing a soft gentle kiss, on her forehead. His heart went to sky high, if feeling it seemed right to do so. You've changed me Midnight as I want to get to know you. Nobody in a very long time has made me feel this way... Kanda thought, as mixed feelings came into play.


Midnight started to wake up as she slowly opened her eyes to see Kanda watching over her.

"You finally came to. How are you feeling?" Asked Kanda.

"I'll be alright." Replied Midnight. She had noticed that Kanda's expression had soften a bit. "Is there something wrong?" Midnight asked as she didn't notice the lotus flower in his hands. He quickly put the flower away.

"Midnight, I want to help you with the task you have to complete." She was shocked as she stammered,

"B-but Kanda..." Kanda placed a single finger on her soft lips making Midnight's eyes go wide.

"Don't argue with me Midnight. I have my own reason for doing this." Kanda replied softly. Midnight sworn that she saw Kanda look at her with the same expression on his face, his words sounded so... familiar as if she had heard it before.

I can't breath... my chest feels like a ton of bricks are crushing it... Midnight thought to herself as she just slowly nodded her head. A visible blush crossed on her face, she didn't see but a small one appeared on his. That's when the unexpected happened, Kanda leaned in gently brushing her cheek as she planted a soft kiss on her lips. She melted into the kiss, kissing him back just as sweetly. It felt like their souls had became one.


Pulling back, they stared into each others eyes - not really sure what to say. That's when Lenalee and Miranda walked in. Kanda stood and felt then.

"What was that about?" Miranda asked,

"He was giving me a message from my mom. So what's up?" Midnight asked.

"We got your new outfit - it should fit."

"Well we'll never know until I try - right?" She got out of bed carefully as she took the clothes and walked into the bathroom.

Minutes went by as Miranda called,

"Midnight?"

"I-I can't come out - i look stupid!"

"What's going on?" Allen asked walking in with Leon, Link, Krory and Lavi who dragged Kanda right back in there.

"She's embarrassed," Lenalee said giggling as Midnight shouted,

"I AM NOT!"

"Then come out then." She changelle as Midnight fell silent for the moment.

"Okay..." She walked out in the uniform with shorts under her skirt with black heels that go to her knee, her jacket was buttoned up. Her hair was in a new pretty pony tail style except two thick locks in the front. "So what do you guys think?"

"You look cute." Lenalee and Miranda called. Leon winked, Lavi feel head over heels once more. Allen smiled and agreed with the girls blushing. Link was just blushing as Kanda looked away but Midnight thought - she saw a slight red on his cheeks.

"Well what are we waiting for?"

"Right -" Leon told everyone, "Let's go."


That night, Cross had a visitor during that stormy night. No one heard the shots as the thunder covered it. Rose stood outside the door. She got here to late but that's how time planned it - she walked back to her room - pretending she saw nor knew nothing...


That's the end of this chapter! Come back for chapter 26!
