~Chapter 25: Date of Trouble I~


Today is Lenalee's day off, same with Yuki and Annchi, and for some reason Fai is also off the hook. Yuki laid on her bed, trying to read some music notes, but eventually she sighed and gave up. She threw the music notes down on the floor and hugged her pillow with a irritated expression.

"Why did i even ask Fai to help me with the piano..? It's a bad idea for sure, but.. He's piano prodigy.."

She sighed and sat up from her bed, throwing her pillow back into it's place. She walked over to the music notes and picked them up. She put them on the table, and went to her wardrobe, picking out a black dress that reaches to her thigh, but with shorts under it when she thought about Fai's personality and his twisted way of thinking. She put on a dark midnight blue jacket that reaches to her upper waist.

She wore some long gray socks that reaches below her dress a little and some boots that goes along with it. She grabbed her shoulder bag and folder with music notes, and she ran out the door, slamming it in the process.

'The only way for him to teach me how to play the piano properly is seduction.. Even if he did say he'll teach me, that doesn't mean he will teach it to me properly. The only way left is seduce him.. If he teaches me how to play the piano properly, i'll go on a date with him, even if i'm completely against it, but it's for the sake of music.'

She ran to Fai's dorm and slammed it open without knocking, and no one was inside. Her eye slightly twitch and she ran down the hallway, looking for Fai. While that's happening, Fai walked in casually into the science division, not that the members minded, but Lavi had a hard time smiling and grinning the moment Fai walked in.

'There goes my happiness... It just literally flew out of the window when this bastard walked in. Why does he always enter the scene when i'm in a good mood and he had to go and ruin it for me. What's with him?'

"Wow, the moment i walk in here, somebody's good mood seems to have gone out of the window. I wonder why.."

Lavi tried to maintain his calm as he tried to ignore Fai's voice. As Reever continues talking about Komui continuously sending in jobs, one after another. A sudden voice interrupted him, which seems to be Komui.

"Lenalee! Are you really going?"

Allen and the others turned around and found Komui trying to stop her from going out for her first day off in such a long time. Fai wolf-whistled softly and chuckled to himself, while the others just stare.

"Yeah, of course! It's my first day off in a long time."

"Lenalee..."

Fai stared at the small, faint blush on Allen's face while ignoring the others, narrowing his eyes at Allen who doesn't seem to notice.

'I wonder if this kid will really make Xue happy... I mean... She doesn't have as much time left in her. If she trusts him, then i should try to trust him as well, but.. Does he really love seriously? If he's playing with her.. He's going to be hugging the earth.'

While Fai began to secretly plan out the assassin mission to assassinate Allen just in case if he hurts Xue emotionally, Lavi took the chance and began to tease Allen about it.

"Oh? Are you admiring her? Don't you think Yuki-chan will be sad and depressed that you're staring at another woman instead of her? Yuki-chan will be really mad at you~ She's going to be jealous, you know~"

"N-no! I was just..."

"Lenalee! Are you going somewhere?"

"I'm going to the tower to do some shopping! But my brother is objecting to it."

"You shouldn't go! The town is full of dangers!"

Fai snapped out of planning mode and stared blankly at the siblings and with an eyebrow raised. Lavi went up to them and appeared with his hands at the back of his head.

"You don't have to worry about it since she's pretty tough!"

"He's right, Nii-san. Well then... I'll see you later!"

"Have fun!"

'And here i though Yul was the protective type and the one who has a sister-cpmplex.. Guess i was wrong.. This guy has a real sister-complex. And it's way more deeper than Yul's.. Then again, Yul is also a tsundere. He could also have the same and exact sister-complex this guy has if only he wasn't a tsundere.'

Everyone excluding Komui and Fai waved at Lenalee which she waved back at them before sprinting off. Komui called out his sister's name in a desperate way, At that moment, Yuki came running in, her eyes staring into Fai's, and she started to pout slightly as she found him. She walked towards him and folded her arms in front of her chest.

Fai and everyone in the room, excluding Lavi and Komui stared at Yuki and her outfit. Some of the men blushed bright red and while some had nosebleed. Allen covered his mouth with hand and his eyes widened along with his blush turned redder and redder by the minute.

"Fai.. You said you were going to teach me how to play the piano... I want to learn it now.. And i have to spend some time with you alone, okay?"

She walked towards him and traced circles shyly below his collarbone and a small smile on her face. Fai began to regret wearing his shirt slightly open and messy like how delinquents wear them.

"Fine..."

'Damn it! I'm so weak! This kind of seduction wasn't suppose to work on me! Then again.. Xue will go to such lengths if things doesn't go her way or this is just to make sure that i agree with her... I knew it.. I'm so weak against her...'

"Thanks, Fai..."

She grabbed his hand and dragged him with her, going to town since she's wearing such an outfit and the fact that there's no piano in the Order, nor does Fai have one in his room and also the fact that in town there's a music store that has a piano inside.

Allen's eye slightly twitched as he stared after them with jealous eyes. He could feel his chest starting to tighten as he thought of what Fai and Yuki might do with each other along with the fact that they'll be alone together.

Almost everyone in the room could feel Allen's jealousy and tried to back away from him, as far as possible. Reever snapped out of his current state and walked towards Komui and pulled him up by his lab coat.

"Now, Chief! Please go back to work."

"Ahh! Let me go, Section Leader Reever! Let me go! Let me go! Let me go!"

"It'll be quiet now..."

Allen took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down and blocked out the images of Fai and Yuki doing something to each other and smiling at each other, but he couldn't help, but feel extremely jealous. Sure, they kissed and all that, but that doesn't mean they're a couple. Maybe Yuki thinks those kisses were just friendly kisses, but to him, those kisses were in a romantic way. He began to look around the section and noticed that somebody was missing.

"Oh? Where's Russell-san?"

"Ah... Today is his day off, too. Come to think of it, he said he'd go to town, too."

"Russell's going to town, too?"

A sudden flashback to Russell and Lenalee laughing and smiling at each other appeared in Komui's head as he realized that they went to town together on their day off much to his dismay.

"Are those two...? By any chance... Lenalee! I have to do something!"

"What happened?"

"Beats me..."

At that moment, Kaoru stared at with confused eyes when Komui had ran past her in screaming something about Lenalee. She had a bad feeling, and began to escape the Order and went out to town to see what's going on. However, the moment she left the Order, she could hear screams from the sections and a loud sound, almost like Komui had just done something outrageous again.


~Town~

Fai sighed as he stared at Yuki who was trying to play the right key, but then she failed. He sighed once again, and leaned over her, grabbing her hands. He began to control her hands and began to play a whole piano sonata by Beethoven.

He closed his eyes and started to control Yuki's hands to play Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven. Yuki had a small smile as she allows Fai to control her hands to play. She listened to the melody carefully, and her eyes watching how to play.

The melody was mysterious and beautiful. Yuki couldn't help, but smile softly and listen. Fai smiled as he had full control over Yuki's fingers.

'As i thought.. She loves the piano as much as she loves both the violin and viola. No matter how much she denies it, she's in love with music. She just doesn't realize that all of her emotions, everything she has been hiding inside her.. They have always been expressed through music.'

Fai lets his cheek touch against hers softly which Yuki ignored and continued on being in her own world. Yuki's thoughts suddenly turned to Allen which made her blush faintly, but she immediately made herself stop blushing and concentrate on the music. Fai who had noticed the blush, slightly smirked as he controlled Yuki's fingers.

'Since Xue's in love with Allen.. I'll grant her wish and i'll make sure that she's happy with him. I may not show it, but i also love Xue just as much as Yul does as a little sister, except i'm a bit more protective and all that in her love life. But if danger is coming her way, i'm also protective of her.. Now, i just need to start a plan to make her confess to Allen. And i'm 100% sure that Allen won't reject her or hurt her after all.. He's in deep love with her.'

Kaoru who had sneaked out from the Order, found Fai and Yuki together, playing the piano. She smiled at the sight and walked off, looking for Lenalee and this Russell. As she looked for them, she began thinking about Fai.

'Fai.. He's pretty tolerable when he's quiet and genuinely smiling from his heart. If he didn't such things to me, we would be pretty good friends. I wonder if he's in love with Yuki... Probably not. Maybe i should try learning more about Fai, and maybe we could be friends.'

She walked around town and found Lenalee and Russell walking around together, and Komui with a huge machine and the others right behind. She stared at Allen who used his Innocence to destroy the machine Komui was on and enter an alley. Lenalee and Russell had noticed this, but they turned around and walked off.

"Hi Kaoru. What are you doing in town?"

"What? I mean i'm just going for a walk around town. I need to get in shape..."

"I see.. Well, enjoy your walk! Bye!"

"Bye..."

Kaoru stared at them before running towards the alley where Komui and the others are hiding. Lavi and Allen smiled sheepishly at her while the others try to stay silent. At that moment, Fai walked by and stopped dragging Yuki with him.

"What are you guys doing..? Let me rephrase that.. What are you guys going to do to Lenalee and Russell?"

"Uh..."

"Whatever. It's none of my business, so you don't have to tell me. I'm quite busy with Xue here. See you later. Let's go, Xue."

"Yeah.. Bye.."

Allen tightened his grip on the machine, and glared daggers at Fai. He eventually snapped out of it and tried to focus on Komui and the current situation. And then he'll focus on Fai and Yuki.

'I will not let anyone take her away from me... Sure she's not mine or anything, but.. I hate it.. I will not let her slip away from me.. I'll let her go if she's happy though. But i'm not going to let go of her yet, not without a fight. Yu- no... Xue will be mine... And mine only..'
