Okay, I'm back and since it took me so long I'm uploading four chapters today.
Once again I will say that I love mail and letters.
I do not own D. Gray- Man.
Chapter 11:
"Well, let's get on the boat." I said turning from the crowd to the cruise ship in front of us. We walked up to the cruise ship in front of us. We walked up to the guy checking off a list of names as people boarded.
"And you are?" He asked as we got to him.
"With the Black Order." Bookman said.
"Ah, yes, we called the number they gave us saying that we only have two rooms of two. Is that a problem?" They all turned to me.
"As long as whoever is with me keeps his hands to himself- meaning anyone but Lavi- I'm fine with sharing a cabin."
"We'll take it." Lavi told the man. He took the two keys handed to him and gave one to Kanda. "Don't worry my hands are to myself." Lavi said as he put an arm around my shoulders.
"Right." I said removing his arm, Bookman kicked him.
"Idiot apprentice!" He hissed. He turned to me and bowed, making Lavi bow with him. "I deeply apologize for this idiot. I'll stay with him." Have I said there are times when I love Bookman? Well, now would be one of them.
"Mmm." I said and we went below deck, starboard side. Our cabins were placed one right in front of the other which was nice, I guess. I followed Kanda into the cabin we would be sharing. It was rather big, having a bathroom of it's own, a bunk bed, a desk and a closet. Kanda took the bottom bunk. Damn, what do I tell him? I'd like the bottom bunk because I fall out of bed during the night?
Yeah, it was embarrassing. Apparently I also sleep talked and walked on rare occasions. I know this because of my bunking in with Lollypop at times. She teased me about it. She was close to telling everyone else in the order, but I caught her and made her swear she wouldn't tell. I mean- how embarrassing would that be? Only little kids did that sort of thing to my knowledge (Not the sleep talking- the falling out of bed). I could usually just keep sleeping the whole night through without a problem even after falling. But not from that height.
It was really weird, I could sleep through an earthquake, but if someone were to open the door or knock on it or call my name, I'd wake up in an instant. As if I was a light sleeper- and I wasn't. I could sleep in a coffee house (I know because I did it before).
Nope, no way am I telling Kanda that I fall out of bed at night!
So I put my stuff on the top bunk. That was when the boat jerked forward making me fall on my butt. I mean, you would think that with the fact that I get to my home by boat (I do come from another continent) I'd be okay on a boat. But nope- whenever the boat would depart and whenever it would enter the harbor, the sudden movement and stop would set me off. I was fine during everything else. Storms, fire, needles, spiders, heights, small dark places like closets, snakes etc. I was fine with them! I had quickly learned that the only thing I could never deal with and was scared to death of was cockroaches.
"You okay?" Kanda's voice cut across my thoughts, making me realize that I was still on the floor. I got up.
"Yeah, just thinking." I replied leaving the room. I went up on deck and leaned on the railing looking out into the beautiful deep blue green sea, it even looked grey in the places where there were waves.
"Wow, one could mistake you for a statue." I turned to look at Lavi, as he and Kanda strolled up to stand next to me.
"Where's Bookman?"
"Below reading. Why, you miss him?"
"I was just wondering."
"Since when do you wonder?"
"Since always. But you usually say something before I have the chance to ask, chatterbox."
"I'm hurt."
"No you're not."
"You know me too well."
"Yeah, right." I said sarcastically turning back to the ocean.
"What? You don't think you know me?"
"No."
"We could always change that." He said putting his arm around my waist this time. I removed it yet again.
"If you'd let a girl finish you'd have known that I don't really care to know you. Especially not that way. You want someone to know you take Kanda or anyone else." Lavi turned to Kanda and studied him. Kanda was twitching angrily.
"Na, not my type. Too… male." I sighed and turned to him.
"Lavi, you'll never get anyone if you're picky."
"Wow, did you just tell a joke?" He stared at me. "That's amazing! And you also teased Kanda! Somewhere under us Hell is freezing over." I shook my head and turned back to the ocean view. "Out of curiosity," Lavi continued, "do you really think Kanda and I are gay?"
"No. That's why I can joke about it. I know Kanda's not gay. And just for the record, I do tell jokes. You just talk so much no one has a chance to get a word in edgewise."
"How come you know Kanda's not gay but don't know if I'm not gay?"
"I know you're not gay, what are you talking about?"
"I don't know, what are you talking about?"
"Lavi you're confusing."
"What does that have to do with anything?"
"I don't know, but I'm confused so shut up! Talk with Kanda!"
"But he won't answer me like you do!" He whined.
"Is that my problem?"
"Sometimes I wish it was." He grumbled.
"Well, it isn't."
"I could make it your problem." I turned and glared at him. "Wow, someone who's scarier than Kanda when they glare. I'm sorry, I won't make it your problem." He cowered. I turned back to the sea.
"You better not, now shut up and enjoy the view."
"Of you?" I pursed my lips.
"I'll tell you this now, you touch me inappropriately and I'm beating you to a bloody pulp- without using my innocence so that it can hurt that much more."
"What are you Kanda?"
This was going to be a long trip.
