Here is the second chappie! XD
"Hey, Lenalee!" called Allen, his voice shaking slightly as he called her name. She turned and smiled, spotting him.
"Hi, Allen" she replied, smiling as he came to stand beside her.
"Uh…I'm going to the carnival tonight and…I was wondering if you would like to join me,"
"That sounds great!" she cried, throwing her arms around him. He blushed, not knowing what to say, "What time?"
"I-it's at six. I c-can stop by your room if you l-like," Lenalee saw the blush and quickly let him go,
"Um…ok," she murmured, "Bye, Allen" she whirled leapt toward her room, feeling the awkwardness of the situation. Allen watched her go, wondering why she was in such a hurry.
oOo
Lenalee dressed quickly for the carnival, picking out a short blue dress. She wasn't fond of pants having worn a skirt during most all of her fighting.
"Lenalee?" called Allen quietly from her door.
"One second, Allen," she responded, adjusting the straps on her dress before opening the door. Allen stared for a moment before smiling.
"let's go," he told her, offering his arm.
"Ok," She took it and followed him toward the stairs.
oOo
"Kanda!" yelled Aya, pounding on the exorcist's door. He opened it, glaring at the girl in the doorway.
"What?" he snapped, crossing his arms angrily.
"Why are you taking so long? You were supposed to be training me an hour ago!" Kanda rolled his eyes, glanced at the clock and shrugged. Aya's eyes widened angrily.
"What?!"
"I can train you now if you like," Aya glared at him.
"Fine!" she turned around and stomped to the stairs, "But you better be there this time!"
"Hmph…whatever,"
oOo
"Wow!" whispered Lenalee, taking in the large Ferris wheel as they approached the carnival entrance. Allen glanced over to where she was looking.
"It is amazing, isn't it?" he replied, flashing a brilliant smile at her. Lenalee's breath caught in her throat for a moment.
"Y-yes," she told him with a blush creeping into her cheeks. The completely oblivious Allen didn't notice and continued to lead Lenalee to the entrance.
They headed to the games first. Allen picked a dart throwing one first.
"Here ya go, lil' one," the man said, handing Lenalee the darts. She thanked him, handing the darts to Allen.
Allen aimed and threw the dart easily, hitting the targets one after the other. Lenalee cheered as he hit each one.
"That was amazing, Allen!" he blushed slightly.
"Thanks,"
"Here ya are, youngin'. Ya won a prize," he murmured unhappily as he handed Allen the giant stuffed rabbit.
"Come on, Allen!" Lenalee cried, grabbing his hand and smiling. She dragged him through the crowd toward the Ferris wheel.
The man opened the door of the small bench type seat, closing it after Lenalee and Allen had sat down. The Ferris wheel started, slowly pulling the two to the top.
"Allen?"
"Yes, Lenalee?"
"Thank you for inviting me," she murmured, snuggling closer to Allen and placing her head on his shoulder.
"Y-you're welcome," Lenalee giggled.
"You're so cute," Allen felt the blood rush to his face slightly. There was a long pause.
"Lenalee?"
"Hmm?"
"Do you know why I invited you, just you, to the carnival?" Lenalee paused for a moment before answering.
"Yes, I think I do." She responded, wrapping her arms around Allen's neck.
"So you know…that I…"
"Yes," she whispered, as Allen turned his head toward her slowly, placing a finger under her chin. Lenalee blushed as he leaned forward. He kissed her, pulling her closer as he did so.
oOo
Tyki grinned as he watched the two in the Ferris wheel chair. He was floating about fifty feet above the couple, sitting on a cloud of teezes. He enjoyed this new way of flying. He could blend in with the black of night and easily be mistaken for a bird if the teez formation was shaped correctly.
"Brother," murmured Road, coming up behind him on her broom stick. Tyki sighed. Why did she always have to come when the fun was just starting?
"Hello, Rodo,"
"It's time to go, the Earl is waiting," Tyki gave one last glance at the two soon to become victims and followed his sister, a plan of action slowly forming in his thoughts.
oOo
Kanda walked sluggishly toward the practice arena. He was annoyed beyond belief at Aya. Why the heck did Komui think it necessary to make him her teacher?
"Finally!" cried Aya, spotting Kanda as he entered.
"Tch…"
"What?"
"Take your position, woman," Aya stared at him for a moment before taking a stance. Man, he's ticked. What's his problem?
Kanda waited for her to make the first move. The silence stretched on for a few minutes, eating at Aya's nerves.
She finally attacked, stabbing at Kanda's torso. He flicked his blade up, shielding himself and he attacked.
He feinted to the right, switching the blade to the other hand when Aya moved to protect herself, and brought his blade to her stomach, freezing in that position.
"Yield!"
"Gosh! Are you ever going to just teach me instead of besting me every time?" she asked with irritation.
"Yield and I'll teach you some moves, woman,"
"My name is Aya!"
"Hmph…whatever."
"I yield, there happy?"
"Over joyed," he murmured, sarcastically as he sheathed his blade. Aya did the same, "No, don't put your katana away!" she pulled it back out with a questioning look, "Now, take your stance," she obeyed as he came over and began adjusting her position.
"What now?" she asked, seeing that he was finished.
"We are going to work on balance and weight shifting. You shift your weight incredibly slow. An akuma doesn't always have to have its feet on the ground and so its attacks will be lightning quick."
"Well you don't ever seem to move that quickly either!"
"I don't need to when fighting you!" He said heatedly. Aya glared at Kanda as he began to explain the exercise.
oOo
Aya stomped to her room after practice. Stupid Kanda, thinks he knows everything! She ranted silently. She slammed her door shut behind her, leaning her katana up against the wall by her bed.
She sighed as she sat down, slipping her uniform jacket off. If I hate Kanda so much, why did my heart race when he touched me? She asked herself, remembering the event.
She pushed it from her mind as she dressed into her sleeping shirt and climbed into bed. Kanda's challenge came back to her as she lay there. "You have no right to judge how I fight until you've beaten me!" the new exorcist smiled as she drifted of to sleep.
I am going to practice harder than you ever have, Kanda! Let's see how you do against me after a year of hard training!
