Chapter 35- Scold me
Cross POV-
This was the last straw, Lenalee never tries to worry about her idiot of a brother, but then again she always does. Most of the time he is in his office doing the one thing he hates more than Lavi kissing his baby sister and the one thing Narul always ate, which was paper work. He has been like this since Asarina was abducted and now only a few days ago, we lost Narul. Howard had been the last known person to talk to Narul but I think there was another who put thoughts into the emotional dragon's brain. Komui, what did you tell and what did you two talk about? I had to find the answers to those questions. I look and now im at his office door.
"Komui, I'm coming." I yell and open the door but all I find his him sleeping on his desk. I walk over and slam my fist on his desk and watch him jolt awake. "What are you doing to your self?"
"Cross, I did not hear you come in." He says and straightens himself up and the papers he disturbed. "What can I do for you?"
"You can start by coming down to dinner or actually any meal. DO you realize that everyone is all up tight and sad about Narul leaving." I say and watch him shake his head.
"You do realize, that I have jerry bring me food." He calmly says but his voice tells me that he is avoiding this subject.
"I do but your sister is worried about you and so is everyone else." I explain. "First Asarina and now Narul. Everyone is in disarray from this whole ordeal. Not to mention we still do not know what gave Narul the idea to go find the ark."
"Cross, Narul is in all sense an animal. HE is perfectly capable of defending himself out there. Plus I believe if there is any hope of Asarina returning to us, that Narul will be the one to do it." He tells me and begins to work on a stack of papers.
My mind went blank abuot what he just said. Narul would be the one to bring her back. Which can only mean that he got this idea from Komui. That little dragon went to the one person who he hated the most and took advice from him. Narul, why did you not come to me.
"You mean to tell me that Narul left because you told him something." I say angrily
"What do you what I did. Its your fault and Kanda's as to why we are all is this mood." he screams at me and looks up from his work.
"Komui, you know that.." I was trying to say but I got cut off.
"Narul was only doing what he thought best and if that meant for him to leave so be it. If any one can find the ark he will." He screams louder and he is now moving away from his desk. My guess is I hit a nerve.
"Look, Narul is only a child in a sense." I tell him.
"He may be a child Cross, but do not forget that he has seen his mother kill people and he has helped her. HE may only have a mind of child but he is more mature than you realize." He shouts, "Now, leave my office. I have work to do."
"You still cant get over the fact that she is gone." I shout back. "We all know she is and now the fact remains is we have Kalira here at the order."
"I know she is gone and that Kalira is our responsibility until she comes back." He yells and I now being forced to walk backwards to the door.
"The truth is we may never see her again or Narul for that matter." I say as we stopped and I look to see I am outside door way.
"Just leave me alone. She will come back and so will Narul." He says and slams the door. Komui, I did not mean to scream at you. Shaun, I failed you and Asarina, please come back safe and above all come back as you. Last time you were held hostage you came back disorientated and I still dont know why.
With Asarina and Narul being gone I was back to having to worry about Allen's mental state. He was hardly eating again and he wasn't talking to anyone. And not only that I was worried about the damn scientist because he was throwing everyone for a loop! It was obvious by now that he was in love with Asarina. I wonder if Shaun knew about that one or not. There were so many things running through my head and I didn't know which would be the most important to pay attention to.
The halls were empty but that would probably be because it was dinner time and most of everyone would be in the cafeteria. So it was surprise to me when I saw Kanda sitting on the floor holding onto Mugen. I would have he'd want to be by Allen's side at all times. The Samurai looked like shit and he had bags under his eyes so it was obvious that he wasn't sleeping much and I could probably guess why.
"So what're you doing here samurai?" I ask once I walked up over to him.
"I need to talk to you and you seem to be the only one I could talk to." He answers letting out a heavy sigh before slowly standing to his feet.
"I doubt I can be of any help. What is it about?" I ask and I hope he wasn't loosing his mind.
"Allen, you're the only person who knows him more than I." He answers and I groan, I didn't have time for this shit. I knew though that when it comes to my apprentice I needed to pay close attention. We never know when he would go over the deep end again and Kanda and I mainly needed to be prepared for it.
"Well come on in, let's get this talk over with." Opening my door I walk in. I was not looking forward to this talk, but it had to be done.
