This is a little weird... Please bear with it (: Just suddenly thought of it while walking a friend home (Which was how i thought of the first chapter too .)
To Allen Walker
There will be a picnic for a few of you, my favourite exorcists tomorrow afternoon! We will be heading towards the park in Tokyo through the Ark. Please bring along a picnic mat, large enough for approximately 5 exorcists.
Do remember to be on time! 1230pm Sharp!
Komurin-ly,
Komui-san
Supervisor
I walked towards the entrance of the 'Ark room', and looked down at the letter in my hands once again. I wonder who else was coming… Around the bend, "Allen-kun!" Lenalee hollered me over towards her, she looked so pretty in her outing clothing. Miranda was standing beside her in a long blue dress, looking excited, yet a hint of dullness still lingered around her.
I walked over towards them, asking, "Lenalee! Were you invited for the picnic too?" I questioned, smiling heartily. It would be good if Lenalee went, I liked it when she was around. Her smile, she's always so cheerful, I thought. My smile automatically grew wider as I thought about it.
"Yup! I can't believe Nii-san organized such a fun event!" She was as cheerful as ever. Miranda merely nodded her nod of agreement.
As I thought about what to say… "HI EVERYONE!!" A loud voice cried from across the room. All three of us immediately looked over. It looked rather majestic, yet weird. Komui-san, Kuro-chan, Lavi and Bakanda were all in their outing clothing! I can't believe I wore my plain white shirt. I thought I kind of stood out. Even Kanda was dressing better than me! I sighed guiltily at myself.
"Hi! Nii-san, are we leaving now?" Lenalee asked. She was jumping around happily, obviously excited about the picnic.
"Lenalee!! My dearest sister!! Yep. We will leave now, actually!" Komui-san sure was happy! Despite that, I noticed an evil glint in his eyes.
As I walked over to join Kanda, Krory and Lavi, Lenalee, Miranda and Komui-san were discussing something together.
"Lavi! How did you two come with Komui-san?" It was weird enough that Lavi and Kanda was so quiet for such an exciting event.
"Well, we met him along the way." Lavi had a slight depressed tone. "He kind of, threatened us." He blurted out the last part. I wasn't satisfied. What did Komui-san do? I imagined in my head the evilest things he might do…
"It isn't as simple as you think, moyashi. He said there's going to be a game in this picnic." Kanda said. I ignored the moyashi. It was weird he was telling me so much, already.
"And that everyone must participate." Krory finished off. Now it started to sound suspicious. A game by Komui-san is already suspicious enough…
I looked at the Rabbit and Bakanda, with a slight hint of terror in their eyes, I was starting to get influenced. As if intuitively, I glanced over at Komui. He suddenly turned towards three of us and grinned evilly, I am really freaked out now.
"Come on up you guys! I can't wait for this picnic!" Lenalee was oblivious to the danger that was going to occur… "Is something wrong? Aren't you guys excited?" She obviously noticed our terror, and was slightly disappointed.
"Don't worry, Lenalee." I smiled, full of assurance, at her. Hoping she would not be affected by our mood swing. A shiver went down my spine as I saw an evil glint through the reflection of the supervisor's spectacles. This wasn't going to be good at all. Either way, everyone of us walked into the ark and in no time, we were at the park! Where're the killer robots?
As I laid the huge picnic mat on the floor, Lenalee took out a basket of fruits, at which I stared at, filled with intent to finish it. Grinning to myself, Krory took out a few bottles of soda drinks. I felt like drooling, the hunger in my stomach could hardly be controlled. Just when I thought everything was done, Komui took out a large box, around the size of a chair. "Bzzz. Bzzz." There was a buzzing sound from the box.
Everyone was staring at the box, even Komui.
"KOMURIN, APPEAR!!" Komui shouted, frowning devilishly. "Here is my new Komurin! He specializes in cooking!" Komui stated, using his fingers to rearrange his spectacles, he was obviously very proud of this new Komurin. "Just state an order and you'll get it!"
I gasped loudly, that was when everyone looked at me. "I want a Mitarashi Dango, Chicken Pizza, 2 large roasted chicken wings, boiled eggs in dark sauce, prawn paste chicken, beef Bolognese Spaghetti…" I continued on my favourite foods for a few minutes, loud sizzling sounds being heard from the new Komurin, I started to have a good impression of Komui-san.
"Allen-kun, you just had your lunch!" Lenalee cried out. She looked rather shocked. Who ate as much as me, after all!
"He's Allen, Lenalee. Aren't you used to him yet?" Lavi teased. I stared at him in distaste, grouping me like that. I didn't like it one bit.
As many dishes were being laid out my Komurin Cook, the name from Komui-san, Lenalee was talking to Miranda happily while eating an apple. I stared at her, dazed for a while, before Lavi helped me out of my trance. "Komui's so near and yet you still do that! You really like her, don't you?" He whispered. Good thing he whispered.
I blushed. "Stop it, Lavi! Don't talk so loud!" I whispered to him, with a serious tone as if I was shouting at him. I stole a peek at Lenalee, she was deep in a conversation with Miranda, both were smiling. I wiped the disappointed look off my face, and started to feel happy. We hardly had any breaks, and had many missions to fill up everyday.
A/N: I'm finally going to write as a narrator, so don't be harsh! X I ain't good at writing third person. Although my first person isn't very good either xD
Allen, Lavi, Kanda, Krory and Komui sat around in a circle, eating and talking, laughing jovially as they enjoyed their picnic. Komurin Cook buzzed and huffed, cooking non-stop, while Lenalee and Miranda sat cross legged facing each other, laughing and blushing occasionally. The male exorcists better watch their tongue if they wanted to live through this picnic! Allen quickly finished up all the food, only to find Lavi and Kanda complaining and grumbling. Not to fret, as Komurin Cook cooked up more dishes in an instant. After a while, the buzzing noise stopped as the park's true atmosphere overtook them. The rustling leaves, the cool, calm breeze and the soft carpet grass. It felt right, not just to Allen, to everyone.
"Okay, now that we're done with the food…" the Supervisor said, he looked different in his shorts, more… threatening. Soon, his eyes were also filled with the same threatening look. "Let's start the game! Lenalee-chan!! Come over here" The sister complex would never stop, would he?
Allen and Lavi shrugged in horror, their nightmare came. THE GAME. Game, game, game, game. The word repeated itself in their minds, causing slight brain trauma and terror.
As Lenalee and Miranda moved themselves to join the circle, Komui moved aside to make way for Lenalee, and Miranda fitted into the circle perfectly. (Clockwise direction: Komui, Lavi, Allen, Kanda, Krory, Miranda, Lenalee)
"Let me guide all of you on the game." Komui looked devilish. "This game is created by me, and I will thus be the game master!" Everyone suddenly frowned. This was eerie.
A horrifying atmosphere of silence was filling the air when Komui finally continued, "I will ask a question, going in a round, starting with Lenalee!" He beamed when he mentioned his precious sister, who didn't look the least bit excited. "You must answer the question truthfully." The supervisor suddenly attained a serious tone.
"So," and now, a playful tone. What was with the supervisor's mood swings? "Lenaleee! What type of boy do you like?" He questioned suspiciously, yet smiled lightly as if the answer didn't matter to him. Lenalee was blushing furiously, why did she have to be first?!
"Nii-san, can you skip my turn please?" She pleaded. When her brother just continued to look at her, she unleashed her puppy-dog eyes, "Nii-san…"
"Alright, Miranda! Has anyone been sharing any secrets with you lately?" Komui gave a sly grin. Miranda suddenly tensed up.
"Ermm… It is a secret, I can't tell. Please skip me!!" She started to kneel down and kowtow (If any of you don't know what it is, it is like bowing down till your head touches the floor.) at the supervisor.
"It's okay Miranda, I understand. We'll skip you, then!" Komui suddenly became awfully merry. "Krory-chan!" Komui said, everyone was starting to get nervous. If their turn were to come, the guys better be careful. One wrong word and it'll be over.
"Yes, sir!" Krory said, in an attempt to gain favour from the supervisor, everyone could see him perspiring profusely. I wonder what he'll ask me… Allen thought silently to himself, smile still plastered on his face.
Lenalee looked across at all the guys. All of them were smiling, even Kanda. What is going on? Kanda? Smiling? She had tried to imagine it before to no avail.
"Are you loyal to Eliade?" Komui suddenly asked. Only to receive angry glares from the exorcists. Everyone knew how Krory was sensitive about this!
"Nii-san! Don't go around asking such ridiculous questions!" Lenalee was furious, the angry aura from around her stirred everyone up.
"Now now, take it easy, Lenalee!" Lavi said, he was trying to brighten up the mood. Krory was obviously grateful to those two. He showed them a smile filled with gratitude, before hiding his face in his hands again.
"Oops."
"Oops?! I'll let you have a taste of my Mu-" Kanda's veins had popped out and was on the verge of killing Komui.
"Kanda! It's your turn." Komui's spectacle reflection gave him the 'genius-look'. I pity Kanda… Lavi thought. Poor Yu.
"What do you think of my precious sister?" Kanda gasped. Followed by another gasp by Allen. Then Lavi choked on his tongue.
"Che, I don't give a damn about girls. I treat everyone the same. Ask me something stupider and I'll burn you." He's taking this rather easily… Allen said, before looking at Kanda. "What you looking at, stupid Moyashi." The angry atmosphere rose up again. The two stood up and went over to a nearby tree to settle the argument. The aura released by the both of them was enough to send Lavi eating his own goose bumps.
"!!#!#!(()#)!#" Allen shouted.
"()!#(-!#!" Kanda replied.
"Let's go on to Lavi first." Komui grinned widely. I'm soooo gonna die. Thought Lavi. The sister-complex in Komui didn't have it's limits. "Do you think Lenalee is pretty? Or ugly?" He smiled.
I'll see how Lavi get's out of this. One way or another, he's a goner. Komui really wanted to kill someone.
"Kanda, did you hear that?" Allen whispered. Kanda stared at him, musing what he just heard.
"Lavi's dead." Kanda replied stiffly. They both went back to their seats.
A/N: Okay, enough of the third person. Now is time for Allen
."Err.. Well.." Lavi was stuttering, drenched from perspiration. I looked at Lenalee, she was looking at Lavi, awaiting his answer.
"She's pretty, and ugly!" He said, smiling. It seems like he found a loophole! I looked at Lavi once again, a little angry. In what way was Lenalee ugly? I frowned slightly, Komui was slightly puzzled too. In fact, everyone was puzzled. Lavi was the only one smiling. Is this some kind of joke for the rabbits? I had no idea.
"She's pretty ugly!" Lavi burst out laughing. I don't know what overcame me, I put my arms around Lavi and pulled him in, rolling my left hand into a fist and rubbed his redhead as hard as I could. How could he have said that? I looked over at Lenalee, without putting a pause in my punishment. The only think I could think of was pretty. There was nothing ugly about Lenalee!
Lavi broke free and sat up, "Ouch, Allen, what did you do that for?" He looked at me teasingly. "Oh, I see!" He continued to laugh, much to my displeasure. Suddenly, Lenalee was giggling too. I didn't understand, what was so funny?
"At least you aren't going after my Lenalee!" Komui addressed the answer with an easy tone. Lavi didn't die after all. "Now… Allen…" I'm sure to die.
"Since you're so un..satisfied with Lavi's answer, let me ask you! Do you think Lenalee is pretty? Or is she ugly?" Oh crap… I don't' know how to answer. I looked at Komui in the eye, showing my distress, hoping to get some sympathy. Grin. Alright, zero sympathy achieved. I'm such a failure. Sighing hopelessly, I looked at Kanda, then Krory, then Miranda, and lastly, Lenalee. They were all staring at me, waiting for my answer. This is bad… Lenalee was blushing slightly, while I could feel myself turning as red as a Lavi.
"I…" I blundered, I couldn't say anything. Lenalee was pretty… She was only pretty, not ugly, not one bit. I continued to dwell on it silently. If I say she's pretty, Komui will kill me. If I say she's ugly… I can't say that. So… I must die.
At least, when I die, she knows how I feel about her. So I think it'll be better to say she's pretty, confess my feelings… and hope Komurin malfunctions! I gleamed at that thought. It was such a smart idea, I'm finally worthy of being called a genius! Grinning at myself, I started to speak, but no sound came out. Why must this happen now! I opened my mouth once again, trying to mouth the words. Nothing came out!
"Answer the question, Allen-kun!" Komui-san hardly addresses me as Allen-kun. I guess I won't be having any bit of his sympathy after all… Looking at Lenalee, her blush made me blush even more! Feeling the stares of everyone wasn't helping me at all. Confessing in front of everyone is even harder than I thought. Maybe I shouldn't say anything. No, I must do this. I was determined to do this.
"Err… I-I think Lenalee's very pretty," I blurted out. I could see the deathly eyes of Komui. He was about to make his move when I grabbed the opportunity to continue, "but that's not all. She's kind, cheerful, and nice." I smiled at Lenalee, who was getting redder. Everyone was staring at me, wide-eyed.
"Don't you know Komui's here?" Lavi poked me. I nodded. I knew the situation, Kanda was just as shocked.
I took in one large breath, "I think Lavi's wrong, because nothing about Lenalee is ugly. She's almost perf—" I got cut off by a punch in my face, I could feel my face get smashed by something cold, like metal. Damn it, that was my last sentence.
"Allen Walker! You don't deserve to be an exorcist! Komurin Cook Beam!!" Komui was really furious now, his sister's head hung low, not moving. "You've made my Lenalee so sad!"
I was dumbfounded. Was she sad? I opened my eyes slightly and looked at her, she was stationary. What have I done? My thoughts got cut off by a bright red light engulfing me, thrusting me towards a nearby tree, which got burnt to a crisp. My body was burning, my shirt had black stains on it already. What was this new Komurin capable of doing?
"Beat him up, Komurin Cook!" Lavi looked at Komui… He couldn't help a bit.
"Komui, shouldn't you stop?" Lavi commented, but stopped saying anything else when Komui glared at him.
Kanda just sat there, as if nothing was happening, and started to finish up the fruits from Lenalee's basket, while Krory and Miranda were silently crying to themselves, being older, they knew how hard it was for Allen to say it, in front of everyone.
"Although he didn't confess…" Krory mumbled.
"I don't want to see him like this!" Miranda cried.
"We have no choice…" He murmured, and they both burst into tears.
I was getting pounded on every side of my body by Komurin Cook, my body was going numb, the heat from the numbness was bursting through my blood vessels. This was torture… At least let me confess, my mind was too weak for me to think anymore. "Komui-san… If I survive after this, will you let me talk to Lenalee?" I was almost whispering, he could barely hear me.
"Here you are getting pounded, and you still talk to me about my sister?! Allen you giant octopus!!" Komui-san was really mad, I haven't seen him this furious before. The last person who asked Lenalee out didn't even get pounded. Maybe it was because Komui trusted me, I let him down. A wave of guilt flooded my heart, not only that, Lenalee was now sad because of me. I resolved to let myself get pounded until I fall into unconsciousness as I cried my heart out. I was such a failure, forgive me, Lenalee...
What did Allen-kun mean? He said I was pretty… No, he wanted to say that I was perfect… Does he like me? Either way, Nii-san's going overboard. I wanted to move myself, but I couldn't. What's wrong? I don't want to get in the way of Nii-san… Allen-kun, or Nii-san? I spent some time thinking about that, before I realised, I like Allen-kun… Nii-san has helped me and stayed by my side all the time… But what about Allen-kun… Ahhh, freak this! I stood up and activated my innocence. I should've trusted that no Komurin would be purely good.
Allen was letting himself get hit around, he was relaxed, totally. None of his body was moving, but his eyes were closed, tears streaming from his eyes. I never knew Allen would cry because of pain. Something pained me as I saw Allen-kun get pounded around, it aroused a fierce anger in me, something I've never felt before. "Nii-san…" I said, deeply. "You went overboard."
I smashed Komurin Cook's head down, as the wires split and the whole machine exploded in a very large, yet enclosed explosion. "KOMURIN COOK!!" Nii-san was crying over Komurin. But that didn't matter. Is Allen-kun alright?
After the pounding stopped, everyone rushed over to me, I was barely conscious. "Allen! You alright? Sorry I wasn't able to do anything!" Lavi felt very guilty, he watched the whole thing but didn't do anything to help. I smiled faintly at him, grateful for his friendship.
"We're sorry, Allen-san…" Krory and Miranda were both rather down-looking. I looked at them, trying to tell them it was alright. It was my fault, after all. I caused Lenalee to be so sad. As I turned to look at her, she wasn't sitting there anymore. Where was she? I looked around for her, as my friends automatically moved away and walked over to tend to Komui.
That's when Lenalee came into view, Komurin Cook was gone, which disheartened me, as it cooked me a great deal of dishes this picnic. I could see the sun setting now. The golden rays shining upon her made her look like an angel.
Her head still hung low as she walked over towards me slowly. I must've angered her greatly. Just when she was within reach of my voice, I called out to her "I'm sorry, Lenalee!" I lowered my head in respect, signifying that she could slap me, hit me, or do whatever she wanted to me. "Sorry for saying such things, I hope you aren't angry…" I drifted off into the verge of unconsciousness.
A warm hand touched my cheeks, I blushed furiously. I didn't imagine I would have enough strength to blush after all the ordeals I've been through. Was Lenalee going to slap me? I felt the hand stop touching my cheeks. Yes, a slap was coming. I shut my eyes tighter and grinded my teeth, this was going to hurt.
To my surprise, I felt two hands holding my cheeks up, "Look at me, Allen-kun." I forced my eyes open and I looked at her, such beauty… She wasn't frowning, she wasn't crying, she was, in fact, smiling happily. "I'm happy after hearing what you said."
I grinned, she wasn't angry, after all! That reminds me… I haven't finished. "Well, Lenalee, you see… Ever since I met you, I felt this something I've never felt before… Lenalee, I think you're beautiful, and I like you." I paused for a while. "I like you not only because you're beautiful. Over this time, I've learnt to like every part of you, your personality, how you love your friends so much… How you understand me more than anyone, and care about everyone so much. How you eat and clip your hair. Your smile, and a lot more, Lenalee. I hope you know what I'm talking about."
I blushed slightly, ruffling through my hair with my hands. Wasn't I on the verge of passing out? I looked into her violet eyes, those I could draw in my mind with no hesitation. It didn't matter if she said yes or no, at least she knew how I felt about her. I felt a sense of relief, a slight sense of my burden lightening. Now was the revelation, that would affect my life forever.
"Allen-kun. The way you care for both humans and Akuma, the way you fight and protect your friends, me, so fervently, I'm attracted to every part of you, Allen-kun. Whether or not at times it may seem I have feelings for you or not, always know, that I love you, Allen Walker, my friend." My friend.
"I understand, Lenalee." I smiled up at her. "You're still pretty as ever. At least I managed to admit my feelings. Thanks Lenalee for everything you've done so far. I've g-got to t-take a rest n-now…" I said, tears brimming at my eyelids.
"Allen-kun.. I'm sorry… I'm not as courageous as you to admit your feelings. The truth is, I love you, Allen-kun." I could feel her tears flow down her cheeks, and dripping from her chin onto my shirt, tainting the now grey coloured shirt a darker shade. My tears mixed with hers, as we stared at each other, each blushing slightly. Oblivious to the number of eyes fixed on us, Lenalee pulled me towards her, as our lips touched lightly, before the sunset, it was a golden confession.
"That was so cute!" Lavi whispered among them, but we both heard it.
"Che! I can't believe I got so engrossed." Kanda said. The 'I don't care' face of his, staring at us, admiring the scene.
"So.. sweet…" Both Krory and Miranda said in unison. They had been doing that a lot recently, it was starting to get freaky.
"Allen… I guess if Lenalee's fine with it…" He murmured, before passing out.
I looked at Lenalee, and she looked at me. At that moment, we both thought the same thing.
"This is pretty." As we smiled at each other, before I passed out, of course.
The ending felt kind-of weird. Please tell me how you feel about it (: Review please! . Give me more ideas X
