a/n: this was inspired by Timcanpy. Not the Timcanpy the golem in the story, but the bunny that my sister, Kuroi Tsuki, has. Yes, she is in high school. Don't even try to understand…its just one of those issues she has. Besides, he is the most adorable little stuffed bunny in the universe, eats Akumu Sekai's brains, and loves sitting on my head. So there. (Sekai/Tsuki)
Anyway, random fic we didn't even plan. Just threw out ideas. This is what happens when we get hyped up on caffeine. You've been warned. And Tim says hi.
People, heads up. Nothing is what it seems. This 'sad and depressing' story carries more humor in it than the bone in your arm.
To outsiders, she was lost. A sad child, with only a ragged stuffed bunny dangling from her tiny hand. Several Finders had approached her to see if the girl was alright, if she needed someone to help her, or if she just wanted a hug. She merely looked up at them with vacant eyes, a curious expression on her face that halted their movements and made them stop; then she moved on, walking a path only she could see, her only aid a small bunny clutched between her hands and held close to her face, so that only her dim eyes could be seen. Mousy hair clung damp and unkempt around her face.
She was small, by normal standards. Her age couldn't be discerned, not with the bunny hiding most of her features like that. Her form was slightly hunched, bent protectively around the rabbit. It seemed like someone only need embrace her, and she would be gone forever.
The bunny in her hands was about a hand and a half tall, with long floppy ears and gangly limbs dangling from her grasp. Blue eyes peered out without seeing, a thin gentle smile sewn on to its face. The fur was dirty and unwashed and, by the appearance of both rabbit and girl, it probably never had been. To its credit, it also looked deeply loved.
Some nearby Finders began to worry for the child. True, they had been worrying plenty before, but now they began to feel true fear. She was obviously alone in the building, and the place wasn't full of only kind-hearted people. The unfriendly ones were what was causing the bystanders' worry, especially the one who would encounter her at the next conjunction of halls if both continued on their current paths.
Kanda Yuu had not had a mission in a while, and was especially irritable for being dragged out of bed by Lavi Bookman for some harebrained scheme that involved obnoxious singing, a five-foot long red scarf, a small grey and white striped tabby, and Allen Walker. After finally silencing the idiot, however briefly that would be, he was finally going to be able to get back to sleep.
That was what he had hoped. That was what he had intended. That was not what he got.
At the turn that would take him to the hallway housing several rooms, including his own, someone ran into him. Literally. He looked down angrily at the tiny figure and snapped, "Watch where you're going, stupid!"
Nearby Finders winced, either pausing in their routine to make sure they could interfere if need be or hurrying their pace to take them far from a scene they were sure they didn't want to watch unfold.
Sleepy hazel eyes met hard onyx ones with mild interest. Kanda stared back at the little girl but, even after his fight with Lavi, could not find it in himself to take it out on her. He began to walk around her until something snagged his sleeve. The slightest outtake of air carried the sound of "Kanda Yuu" being said quietly below him by a soft voice.
He glared down angrily again and yanked at his sleeve. The girl, who had released one of the hands on her bunny to wrap her fingers around the cloth, refused to relent her small grip.
"You have got to be kidding me," Kanda growled, his room in sight just behind her. "What do you want?" The girl gave no response. He waited a moment, hoping for a reply, before sighing impatiently and saying, "Fine. Anyone in this building taking care of you?" A shake of the head. No. "Damn it. Then I'll turn you over to Komui. What's your name?"
"Kuroi Tsuki," she whispered.
Without responding, he started to tug her to Komui's office. "Kanda, no." He didn't stop but glanced behind him. The girl had come to a halt, and he was finally forced to one too if he didn't want to drag her along behind him.
"What?" he demanded. This was really not his piece of cake. Why did he have to do this again? Couldn't someone else take the lost, idiotic child to Komui?
The bunny was thrust into his face.
"What the he-?" Kanda jerked backward in surprise. The bunny went with him, despite how much taller he was than the girl.
"Bunny. Yours. Take him, or he'll be mad."
Kanda stared past the stuffed animal at the girl. "What the hell is wrong with you?"
"Oi! Yuu-chan!" a shout came from behind him. Kanda whipped his head over his shoulder, and saw the Bean Sprout and Rabbit running toward him with Lavi waving one arm frantically. "There you are! I thought you were angry about the whole singing thing, but since you're not trying to kill me, I guess not. So, anyway, we were thinking, what if we-"
"Think fast!"
Kanda turned back around as the stuffed bunny came flying at his face. He snatched it out of the air before it hit his face and saw the girl take off at high speeds around the corner. As she did, the 'little girl' straightened to her full five-foot-nothing height, hair tossed elegantly back behind her, and he finally saw the evil glint in her eyes as she ran from the fuming samurai with a wide satisfied smile.
"Get back here, dumbass!" he shouted after her, and ran to yell some more at Tsuki, the not-so-innocent-and-lost-child everyone had been fooled to think she was.
Ravi and Allen, of course, had not seen the child because of the huge height difference, but Kanda shouting something while raising one clenched hand (which held a white stuffed bunny?) and shaking it for emphasis, before taking off running.
"Um…Lavi?" Allen asked, not knowing if he really wanted an answer. "Did Kanda just…?"
"I… think so…" Lavi grinned evilly. "Let's go ask him!"
"What?"
For the next twenty-four hours, a hysterically laughing girl was seen running through the hallways with random stuff being thrown at her by a furious sword-wielding exorcist, who had two other exorcists trailing after him laughing their heads off.
The girl, who had just pulled off the prank of the century, vanished without a trace after the day-long period, and her stuffed bunny mysteriously disappeared from Kanda's grasp, leaving no evidence that she had ever been there.
Whether it was coincidence or something more mysterious, another event forced the Black Order to rethink its sanity, as the Millennium Earl and the Noah family disappeared only two days after the girl's unusual visit to Kanda. They reappeared one by one a month later, their resonance with the Dark Matter evidently sucked dry and no evidence of the stigmata left on their foreheads. Now entirely human, all of them were put into asylum, as they rambled of a dark figure wrapped in shadows and stuffed bunnies with evil smiles.
a/n: And that is why everyone where we live accepts why I carry Timcanpy around.
