As much as he hated to, Kanda had to part ways with his Moyashi. He had to head back to the Order with the two idiots. Lenalee had made sure to make Allen promise them he'd text them often until they were reunited again, and he was back at the Order. In return, Allen made them promise to text him if Lvellie made any moves. Kanda had told Timcanpy that "he was entrusting the Moyashi to him," until they came back. The animal happily accepted his task. Before leaving, Kanda pulled his halfbreed into a hug, breathing in Allen's scent one last time before letting go.
After, the three began to go back to the Order. They had decided not to tell anyone within the Order the truth about the traitorous Director; not even Komui. As much as it upset Lenalee to keep the secret from her brother, she knew telling him would be bad. They weren't sure who to trust, and the walls had ears. So, they'd keep it a secret between them, Allen, and of course, Timcanpy. When they got back to the Order, everything seemed normal. "There you three are." A voice stated. Lenalee knew that voice. She stiffened immediately, adrenaline making her heart beat faster. Lavi noticed this and gently held her hand. "And were have you been all day?" None other than Director Lvellie questioned.
Kanda scoffed in response, controlling his anger. Allen told him to watch his attitude, or he might get suspicious. "Che, as if it's any of your business." He grumbled in response. Lvellie sighed, a semblance of a cocky smile on his face.
"Well, considering Chief Komui has been looking for you all day, and you left the Order without permission, it is my business." The man replied. Kanda felt his blood boil, and clenched his fists. Lenalee found herself feeling anxious. They couldn't tell him they were with Allen! He would question why! What do they-
"We went to walk around and lost track of time. Won't happen again Director." Lavi said calmly, giving an apologetic grin. Lvellie sighed, narrowing his eyes.
"I won't be so forgiving if it happens again." He stated. "Now, Chief Komui has a new mission for you three. I think you've kept him waiting long enough." With that, he went on his way, leaving the three young adults. As he walked, he couldn't help his smirk. "Finally...it's time to say goodbye to those annoying pests once and for all..."
Kanda led the three to Komui's office, while cursing Lvellie with every word he knew between English and Japanese. Lavi listened once in a while, but kept his primary focus on Lenalee. The girl was definitely calmer, and she had a determined gleam in her eyes. Seeing this put Lavi at ease. Eventually, they got to Komui's office and found the man taking a sip of his coffee. He spat it out, however, when the three entered his room. "LENALEEEEE! YOU'RE SAFEEEEE! I THOUGHT YOU WERE KIDNAPPED AGAINNNN!" The man cried, attaching himself to the fairy's waist.
Lenalee sighed, before whacking her brother in the head. "Brother!" She exclaimed, frowning. Komui sniffled, pouting as he looked at her.
"B-But Lenalee..." He whined. Kanda growled, getting annoyed with the childish man.
"Oi! Do you have a mission for us or not?!" The vampire snapped, giving Komui a glare. Komui looked at them, suddenly remembering why he was looking for them all day.
"That's right! I do!" He exclaimed, back at his desk. He pulled out a file and opened it. "There's been sightings of a supernatural in a nearby forest. However, it seems as though this is a supernatural we've never once encountered before." Komui explained. "You're to leave immediately by train. I want you three to be careful, especially since this is something we've never dealt with before."
Lavi seemed deep in thought when they left Konui's office. Lenalee glanced at him worriedly every once in a while. Kanda ignored it, mulling over his own thoughts. "Hey...doesn't this mission seem odd to you two?" Lavi eventually asked, making his friends look at him.
"Now that you mention it...it does sound a little bit suspicious..." Lenalee answered. "We've had missions that have to do with a forest before...but we've studied different types of supernatural creatures..."
"There's no way that there's one that we've never dealt with before. It's just illogical." Lavi added, sighing. He put his arms behind his head as he walked. "We need to be careful about our next move."
"Che, sounds like someone should tell a certain baka Moyashi about this." Kanda mumbled, frowning. Lenalee nodded in agreement, pulling out her phone and sending Allen a text.
Said halfbreed had been playing with Timcanpy. The cat had wanted attention from his friend, and since the cat could talk to him now, he had been constantly calling his name as Allen tried to read a book. Neah had gone to work, leaving the boy by himself with Tim, so the cat took the opportunity to talk with his friend. At one point, Tim had jumped onto Allen's book, stopping him from reading. "Allennnn, play with meeee. I'm boreddddd." The cat whined. And so, they had begun to play. They stopped when Allen's phone went off, and the boy's eyes widened.
Lenalee sat in the middle of Kanda and Lavi, waiting for her friend's response. "Anything from Allen-chan yet?" The werewolf beside her questioned, looking at the girl. Lenalee glanced down at her phone just as she received a text. She tapped on it, and read through it.
"He said to act normal and go on the mission...and to trust him." She paraphrased, looking up at the two of them. Sighing, Kanda stood.
"Che, that idiot." Was all he said, before walking towards the train. Lavi and Lenalee shared a look before following after him.
The train ride was quiet as the three sat. Kanda found himself questioning what Allen was thinking. The air was filled with tension as they slowly reached their destination. Kanda led the group off the train, looking around for someone from the Order. In the paperwork for the mission, it stated that they were going to be directed to the forest by a CROW. Which the three had found that a bit strange, seeing as how the supernaturals were normally alone for their missions, unless a CROW was ordered to give them information. But even then, it was rare.
They stood at the train station, waiting. "Master Kanda." A voice stated. The vampire turned around to look at the source, and saw a person standing there, dressed in a red cloak with yellow, white and blue fabric decorating the cloak. On their face was a white mask with two yellow lines forming a diamond. Kanda sneered at the sight of them.
"Che, lead the way." He grumbled. The CROW nodded, and began to lead the three to the forest. Kanda kept a hand near Mugen, while Lavi kept his hand near his hammer. Lenalee had her boots activated. The three were on guard, ready for anything. Or so they thought. When they reached the entrance of the forest, the three were suddenly restrained. Their hands were forced behind their backs, most likely by other CROW's. Kanda growled in frustration, and Lavi tried to pull out of their grasp. Lenalee did the same.
"I'm sorry, but resisting is pointless. These are Director Lvellie's orders, and we will do whatever it takes to fulfill them." The CROW stated, voice monotone. Kanda snarled in anger. As the CROW was about to attack, a man appeared behind him and swiftly hit him in the neck, making him fall. The three CROW's restraining Kanda and the others were suddenly gone, and they were free. Kanda turned around to look at who freed them, and saw Allen kick one of the CROW's away from Lenalee.
"Moyashi!" He exclaimed, surprised. Allen turned to look at him with a small smile.
"Phew! I was worried we were too late!" He said, relief in his voice. Lenalee raised an eyebrow.
"We?" She asked. Allen nodded.
"Well, Link and I to be exact." He answered, grinning. Link made his presence known, looking at the group as he stood next to Allen.
"I'm relieved to see you three are unharmed."
Kanda, Lavi, and Lenalee stared, dumbfounded.
