Kanda: che…..

Me: what's with you?

Kanda: you're taking too long with this waste of computer bytes.

Me: oh shut up, it's no fun without struggle.

Disclaim: I don't own d. gray-man.

Lavi was very surprised to find he could hear voices coming through the darkness. They sounded like Komui and Keichi arguing over something, but he didn't know what because he couldn't hear properly. He tried to open his eyes, but his eyelids felt like lead say he lay there, listening and becoming aware of his surroundings. From what he could feel, he was lying on a bed. There was a lot of heat in the room, so maybe there was a heater on somewhere. Finally, he could feel a ray of sunlight shining on his face, which irritated him. That seemed to trigger his hearing properly.

'I DON'T CARE IF IT'S CUTE, IM NOT TELLING HIM HOW I SAVED HIM!'

'Aw, but you would be so good together.'

'That doesn't mean that…I...HE'S A BOOKMAN!'

Lavi's eyes snapped open. He turned his head to look at the door, where Keichi had Komui in a headlock. Komui looked up cheerfully.

'Ah, Lavi! So glad you're awake! I have to check something right now so I'll be right back.'

With a sly grin at Keichi, he slithered out of her grasp and jogged out the door. Keichi stared angrily after him for a moment, then turned and smiled, and walked towards him.

'Hey, Red, you feeling ok? We thought you'd never wake up.'

'So did I' He replied, slowly sitting up. Suddenly, he winced in pain and clutched his stomach.

'Argh! My gut hurts…'

'Well you did stab yourself, remember?'

'Yeah, I remember…why did I do that again?'

Keichi shrugged and sat on the edge of his bed. Lavi looked at her. She looked kinda different from usual; her hair was tied in an up-do and she was wearing a blue kimono.

'You look pretty,' he smiled, making her blush.

'Can we talk about something else?!'

'Ok, did everyone get rescued? How's Allen?'

'Everyone's fine, though a few got hospitalized. Allen's ok, but he disappeared a while ago.'

'Good…'

There was an awkward silence. Keichi suddenly opened her mouth to say something, when Komui returned. She smiled weakly at Lavi and left.

'So?' Komui said in expectation.

'So what?'

'Did she say something or do anything?'

Lavi shook his head, confused. Komui sighed in disappointment, then shrugged and proceeded in giving the bookman a check-up.

Lavi stood under the shower, letting the hot water wash over him. Now that the adventure had finished, he was feeling exhausted. He wanted to sleep, but first he wanted to get clean. He looked down and touched the jagged scar on his stomach. He winced slightly as he felt a throb of pain. He could barely remember what happened after the Noah kissed him, but he did remember suddenly seeing Keichi on the ground, looking scared. Then he was stabbing himself…then he was lying there….

Lavi leant his cheek against the cold bathroom tiled wall and sighed.

'Why am I alive? That kiss was poison…..'

He closed his eyes and strained his memory. A blurry picture popped into his head. He was half conscious, he thought, and he could hear the Noah talking in the background about something to do with a warm kiss. Then, he could see Keichi leaning over him…

His eyes snapped open.

Allen knocked on Lenalee's hospital room door, and went in. She was sitting on her bed reading. She looked up, surprise.

'Allen-?'

'Lenalee, about what I said when we were outside the cave, I was serious. I was wondering if you'd like to go on a date. You don't have to, but could you not tell your brother either way? I'd like to live long enough to eat dinner tonight…..'

Lenalee stared at Allen's blushing face. She then Blushed herself and nodded. Allen looked ecstatic.

'Really? SERIOUS?!'

'Yeah, I….I guess I love you too, Allen.'

Allen ran forward and hugged her. Suddenly, there was a clicking noise at the door, and the two exorcists looked up to see Komui looking angry, holding a large machine gun and wearing commando gear.

'K-komui!'

'Brother!'

Komui advanced. Allen ran for the window in terror, unlocked it and jumped out. Komui gave a war cry and followed.
