The train rattled on the iron tracks. "Oi, rabbit…Rabbit wake up!"

"Go away…" Lavi mumbled, swiping his hand in a failed attempt to make Okami leave.

She leaned in towards his ear. "Koru's getting married."

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"

"Hey, it works on you, too!" Okami was very proud of herself. "Ha! That was pretty cool!"

"That was not cool. That was cruel. And evil and mean and…" His face was as red as his hair.

"Will you two stop fighting? I'm trying to sleep here."

"CRAM IT, MOYASHI! They yelled in unison. Then glared at each other.

"It's Allen. A-L-L-E-N! Not Moyashi. Allen!" The white haired exorcist threw a fit like a five year old that didn't get enough candy on Halloween.

Yawn. Koru blinked. The entire ruckus had woken her. "What are you guys doing?"

"Lavi was just explaining how much he loves you, Koru. Isn't that right, Lavi?" Okami teased.

"N-n-no I wasn't! Lavi's face deepened a shade of red. (If it was possible, which I doubt) "Okami is an evil person! She makes things up!"

"Che." The classic Kanda family trade mark. "I'm just making it easier for you."

"Crazy chick!"

"Dumb Rabbit!"

"She devil!"

"Pervert!"

"One eyed freak!"

"Again with the eye!"

"Are they ever going to stop?" Koru whispered to Allen.

"I don't think so…" The pair sweat dropped.

Koru, asleep with heavy-duty headphones on (To block out the screaming) didn't realize their stop was coming up.

Okami smirked, and leaned in, muttering under her breath.

"WHAT!" Koru screeched, shooting up, glaring at Lavi.

Allen and Okami had already gotten off the train. "Hey, lovebirds, it's time to go! We have to find General Raul!" The white haired exorcist called, eager to get back to his beloved Lenalee.

They stepped off the train into the middle of a forest. Why, exactly, the general was in a jungle was beyond them. They walked through the menagerie in awe, for there were more colors and animals than any of them had ever seen. Lavi was dashing off spasmodically, acting like a three year old in a toy store. Just as he was about to attack a neon pink bird, Okami grabbed his collar. "Whoa, boy. Let's find somewhere to spend the night, and then you can get lost."

Koru yawned. "Why is it whenever we go on missions it's always someplace weird?"

Silence swept over them all. "We never realized that!"

"Koru-hime~" She twitched as Lavi yelled that dreaded suffix to her name.

"I am not a frickin' princess!" She growled.

"But Koru-hime suits you. Because I'm your knight in shining armor!" He teased.

Koru just stormed off. Lavi rubbed the sore spot on his head. Okami glared. "You make anymore stupid comments like that, there will be bloodshed. Not just a pat on the head."

"How do chicks hit that hard?! Oh, that's right, you're not a chick." Lavi sneered. He stuck his tongue out.

"Oh, so now you're sexist, too? Allen, go find Koru. I don't think you want to see this…" She cracked her knuckles.

"Leaving!" The snowy haired exorcists sprinted off. "Koru, wait up!"

Censoring…Please wait…

Lavi was lying on the ground, looking very much worse for the wear. Okami just stood there, innocently examining her nails. Timcanpy flew into the clearing, settling on her head. "Tim-chan!" She yelled excitedly, giving it a hug. Behind her, Lavi stirred. Okami turned around and smirked. "Good, I was afraid I'd have to leave – I mean, carry you. Allen says Koru found somewhere to spend the night."

Lavi just scowled and glared at her childishly, folding his arms, ignoring her. "Fine. You can stay here with the hungry jaguars and panthers and poisonous snakes and mosquitoes and deadly spiders, while I go take a nap…"

"Eep! Spiders!" Lavi latched himself onto her back, crying pathetically. "Don't leave me! I promise I won't make a single advance on Koru!"

Twitch "Somehow, I doubt that you'll do that…" Kanda said drily. "But I'll take you so Koru won't kill me…"

"Yay! Lavi jumped off and starting dancing his victory…dance? Okami just started walking out of the clearing, following Timcanpy.

"Wait!"

The four spent the night in some house next to a temple. Sometime while they were asleep, Raul hightailed it into the temple. However, our quartet slept on peacefully, except for Okami and Lavi, who apparently could fight even while asleep…

Koru and Lavi were the last ones up. Unfortunately for them, Allen and Okami were already devouring the food, sitting on a step outside.

"Hey, Wait! So not cool!" Koru said, making a dash for breakfast. Without pausing in her chewing, Okami picked up a brown bag from her side and tossed it at Koru, who promptly examined it. "My pickles! Yay!"

"Don't I get any?" Lavi asked pitifully. Kanda Okami finished off the bag and stood up, wiping her hands on her black shorts, long since having abandoned her cloak.

"No. You're not cool enough. Food is for cool people." Okami said monotonously. Lavi glared, mumbling about females who pms 24/7. Then he lit up and ran to Koru.

"Feed a poor, food deprived bookman?" Koru almost gave in. Almost.

However, Koru loves her pickles more than Lavi. She growled menacingly. Holding the bag close and curling protectively around it. She glared evilly at Lavi. "My. Pickles." She turned back around, watching him warily. Bookman Jr. sulked away, muttering about contagious pms…

"Koru." Okami said to her friend. "We have visitors."

"What?" Grabbing her innocence, she ran to get the others.

When they returned, Okami had already packed up their belongings. "Someone's in the temple. I think it's the general."

They were exceptionally quiet as the made their way through the temple, wary of any Indiana Jones style traps.

"Ok, whatever you do, don't touch anything…"

Poke. Poke. Poke… "Wow, Koru." Okami sighed. "Well, at least you're not touching potentially harmful ancient things…"

Pad. Pad. Pad. Poke... The ground started to rumble. Allen looked back, before screaming. "Run!"

"Lavi! I'm going to kill you!" Okami yelled, running for her life from the gigantic boulder.

A/N Well, so much for tomorrow, huh? Oh, well...I finally understand proofs, so it's okay, I'm back~ Chapter 3 will be up toward the end of next week. And it will be pretty long.
