Chapter Two
Dragging his lips away from the tall god, Allen pressed his hands against his captor's chest, futilely trying to escape the man's hold on him. He panicked when he realized that he wasn't moving or going anywhere. In fact if it were in any way possible, it seemed he was firmly attached closely to the other man's body.
"Let me go!" Allen hissed through clenched teeth. "Unhand me this instant!" He struggled more, hoping against the odds that he would escape this brute.
"Who the hell do you think you are talking to Moyashi?" Kanda growled out from above the white head. He was angry beyond belief. The boy had defied him in front of the villagers, and the priests, he refused to accept his touch, and now he was commanding him to let him go? He thought not.
"I don't know and I don't particularly care at this point in time. All I really want is to go home and have a nice warm cup of tea!" Allen was nearly to the point of tears. He had no idea where he was, or who the man was that was holding him. At this time the only thing he knew, was that the man had kissed him and now he was in an unfamiliar place in hysterics.
"I am your God. You will cease this disobedience at once! Do you not recognize me? Do you not remember my voice calling you in your sleep?" There had been a touch of vulnerability and tenderness, but then Kanda released Allen and watched him stumble back from him in large steps. " It doesn't matter now. What you need to concern yourself with at this moment in time is, preparing yourself for our upcoming marriage, because if you haven't realized it by now Moyashi, you are my damned bride!"
Allen looked at the blue haired man in shock and in fear. He could not be the bride of this arrogant god. It was inconceivable to even imagine. And yet here he stood with this man, no this god, telling him that he had better prepare himself to be married.
"But I am a man! I can't be a bride. You must be mistaken! And my name is Allen, not Moyashi!" The mercury eyed boy yelled at Kanda. "I don't even know what the heck your name is anyways!"
"You will do as I say and you will answer to whatever name I chose for you, you spoiled brat!" Kanda was beyond livid. How dare he be defied by some wet behind the ears….bean sprout! Striding forward angrily he pressed the young teen up against a convenient tree and nearly spat in his face. "I am tired of these childish games!"
"What game? Who is playing a game? I am genuinely grieving right now. You can't possibly expect me to marry an arrogant jerk, who thinks that I should just answer to his beck and call like a damn dog!" Allen heatedly told Kanda. "And furthermore, I want to go home now!"
Suddenly Kanda smirked evilly. The entire time that Allen had spent ranting to the royal blue eyed god, he had been thinking of a way to bend this moron to his will. It wasn't until Allen had started spouting off about going home that he really began to plot.
When he had set foot in the village, he had expected Allen as his bride to quickly submit to his will and to fall in love. Obviously this was the wrong way to approach him. Whereas Kanda had been in love with the boy since he had first laid eyes on him, Allen, unfortunately did not have the same feelings, because he had not known Kanda.
Though the village had prepared most of the maidens, they had never prepared males to be thrust in this type of situation, probably because this was the first time that Kanda or any other god, had loved a male human.
"Listen Allen," Kanda interrupted the angry boy, " This arguing is getting us nowhere. I purpose that we discuss this in a more civil area and in polite company, agreed?"
Allen stared blankly at Kanda, trying to pinpoint at what kind of angle the other was playing at. Looking closely he didn't discern any malcontent or any of the man's hidden agenda, so he readily agreed.
Kanda turned around and began walking. Never stopping to see if Allen followed. His feet walked on the worn path not worried about in which direction he was going. His mind was miles away from the thought of where he was walking, as to who he was walking with.
Allen followed Kanda, watching as the man in front of him continued walking ahead of him. Finally he had a moment to think to himself, without the crazy samurai pushing him up against trees and such.
"What am I going to do? What will Lenalee say? Komui? The villagers?" Allen thought worriedly to himself. "They will all think that I am his whore, or something like that!" Quickly following the samurai silently, while quietly musing and panicking to himself, he never really had a chance to enjoy and take in the beauty of his surroundings.
Sakura trees vibrantly splayed themselves before the two. Shady oak and maple trees lined up and swished slightly in the breeze. Verdant green grass tickled lightly against the legs of the walking reluctant companions. All of this ignored by the snowy haired boy.
Suddenly a breathtaking palace sprang out from behind the trees and startled Allen with it's unearthly glow.
Lotus crawled up tall pale marble pillars, as doors of leaves opened up to welcome the master of the house and his companion home. Beckoning them forward, soft scents breached the nose of one Allen Walker.
Allen had never seen such startling beauty in his entire life. Following Kanda at a slower pace, he took in the inside furnishings of the house. He was quite surprised to see that most of the furniture was made of plants and flowers. Somehow he couldn't see Kanda as the type to be surrounded by flowers.
Not realizing that Kanda had stopped walking, Allen ran right into him. "Sor…sorry." He apologized nervously. Watching as the royal blue eyed man turned around slowly.
"Sit." Was the soft command that issued itself from the graceful neck of the god. Allen did as he complied, waiting for the man to speak his mind. The man sat down and snapped his fingers, and a tea pot with cups appeared, along with scones and other pastries.
"Drink and enjoy, and we will discuss business." Kanda offered, silently watching Allen as he devoured the majority of the pastries.
Allen blushed when he realized that during the three minutes he had gorged himself on the never ending supply of food, that Kanda had been watching him, intensely.
Pushing himself away, he decided now was the time to talk, business, or in this case, talk himself out of this situation.
"I don't think that I can be your bride." Allen started out. Noticing the way the man's eye brow began to twitch, he continued on hurriedly. "I don't want to be your bride."
"That Moyashi, was not a good way to start this conversation." Kanda scathingly told the other. "I am willing to negotiate with you on a few necessities, and points, but you will become my bride, come hell or high water!" He slammed his fist down on the table to emphasize his statement, which caused Allen to jump.
"What could you possibly negotiate? You can't keep me here by force! I refuse to stay here with you, you arrogant bastard!" Allen yelled at the other. "All you have done since you determined I was your bride was to yell, and man handle me! What makes you think I can deal with this!"
The arguing proceeded to take place for about two hours, with yelling back and forth between the two. Neither one of them were giving an inch, and Kanda was resisting the urge to take the beautiful teen by force. Suddenly he exploded.
Kanda looked uncomfortable for a minute, but then rage got the better hand of the sizzling god. "That is it! I can not reason with a child, so I will put this in words that you understand…..Either you marry me, or your village will suffer the consequences and perish! You will tell me your answer by midnight!"
