Yay for double posts!
Quick question... should Kanda keep calling Lyric Baka chibi, like he calls Allen Moyashi or should I come up with something else?
Anyway, just to warn you Lenalee lovers, she is a real bitch in this chapter.
Oh and Lyric is a parasitic type, that controls water, just in case i was too subtle. ^_^
Disclaimer: *sigh* no, I don't. but thanks for making me depressed.

Until the End
Chapter five
"Why are we taking the Ark to HQ?," Lyric asked as Allen called down the portal.
"Because," Kanda answered, "Ever since the Noah broke in to HQ and tried to steal the Akuma Plant, the Order decided to make the location of the new HQ a secret. You can only get to it through the Ark."
"Wow, it's pretty," Lyric said, as they walked into the interior of the Ark.
Allen smiled. "Yes it is... but I don't see the door to HQ."
Kanda grabbed Allen's hand to stop him from going the wrong way. "Of course you don't. Listen kid, Kaa-san here has the worst sense of direction, except when it comes to food. So if you want to get anywhere other than the canteen, don't follow his advice."
Lyric giggled and Allen pretended to be angry. He smacked Kanda on the back of the head. "It's not that bad, Yuu. I've gotten alot better. I can find my room, your room, and Komui's office."
"Ok, so your up to four rooms, out of the hundreds in HQ," Kanda smirked.
"Don't worry, Kaa-san! I won't let you get lost," Lyric said. The three of them walked out of the Ark and into HQ. "It's kinda dark."
Kanda patted him on the head. "You'll get used to it, kid."
"Tou-san, can we get some food? I'm hungry."
"YES! Everyone follow me!," Allen crowed.
"This is all your fault, Moyashi."
.~*~.
They walked into the canteen. The sight of the infamous rivals calmly walking together, stunned the entire room into silence. They were so focused on them, that no one noticed the small boy clinging to the back of the two exorcists' coats.
The small group made their way to Jerry to order their food. The room was stunned even more as Kanda allowed Allen to order his mass of food before he ordered for himself. Usually Mugen would be drawn and pointed centimeters from the young general's eye.
What had happened in their months together? Did Allen's new position draw out some hidden respect in Kanda? Or was this just the calm before the storm?.... Most assumed the latter.
"So Kanda-kun!," Jerry said, in his usual cheery voice, barely concealing his own stun, "The usual order od soba?" When he received no answer, he noticed that Kanda seemed to be speaking to an unseen person.
'Maybe he's finally snapped?'
"Two orders actually," Kanda finally said.
"Ehhh?! Two? Are you sure?," Jerry asked incredulously.
"Yes, I'm sure," Kanda hissed.
Jerry let out a small squeak of fear and busied himself in the kitchen. Allen's giggle was heard throughout the silent room.
What is going on? Why isn't Allen dead?... Wait.... Is that a-a kid?!
The finders and exorcists had finally noticed Lyric looking around the room, his arms wrapped around Allen's leg.
Jerry loaded up Allen's food onto a cart and began to hand Kanda his soba.
"I'll take those," Allen said grabbing the soba out of Jerry's hands, "Lyre, you need to let go of my leg."
Lyric just shook his head and gripped tighter. Allen sighed and gave a pleading look to Kanda, who picked up the boy and held him in his arms.
This little "family' scene was just too much. Several finders... and Miranda passed out as the group sat at an empty table. Lavi's mouth gaped open in shock as he held an unconscious Miranda in his arms.
'No way, I must be thinking too much, There's just no way.'
Lenalee looked just as Allen predicted: pissed.
'How dare Allen-kun ignore me! I'm getting to the bottom of this!' She ignored Lavi's questions as she got up from their table and approached Allen and Kanda's.
Kanda saw her coming towards them. "Moyashi, here comes the welcoming committee. Are you ready for this?"
Allen nodded. "Yes, it's time we stopped hiding what we are."
"Allen-kun! What's going on?," Lenalee said, stopping in front of them, "And why do you have a kid with you?"
Allen sighed, she wasn't going to play nice apparently. Kanda looked ready to slice her up. Allen placed his hand on Kanda's knee underneath the table, telling him to stay calm.
"Lenalee," Allen began, ignoring the rude tone of her voice, "It's exactly what it looks like. His name is Lyric and his family was killed by akuma. I didn't feel right leaving him alone, so Yuu and I-"
"YUU!," Lenalee shrieked, causing a few more finders to faint, "You call Kanda-kun by his first name, now?! He let's you?!"
"Lenalee, please. Calm down and let us explain," Allen pleaded.
"What! Let you explain what a cute little family you've become! What are you? A pair of fags?!," Lenalee sneered.
At this Kanda and Lyric leapt up. Allen quickly grabbed Lyric, covering his glowing eyes. Kanda gripped Mugen, his face bright red in anger.
In a deadly, quiet voice he said, "Never, say that in front of us again. I stayed silent while Moyashi tried to explain, because he cares for you so much, but you have gone too far. So I'm taking matters into my own hands. Allen is mine and I am his. Get it? Now if you'll excuse us, we would like to finish eating." And with that he sat back down, turned his back on her, and resumed eating.
"Allen-kun, you lied to me, you fucking bastard!" Lenalee ran out of the room.
"We should've told everyone sooner," Allen whispered, beginning to cry. They ate in silence for a few minutes before two bodies plopped down at their table.
"Wow! I never would've guessed this would happen when komui-san shoved you together. Don't worry about Lenalee. She's just shocked that her precious Allen-kun is batting for the other team now," Lavi said. Miranda sat next to him, still looking a little stunned.
"Kaa-san and Tou-san were together waaay before they found me," Lyric piped up.
"WHAAATT!," Lavi and Miranda screamed.
Kanda and Allen blushed. "Shut up!," they hissed.
"So, how long has this been going on, then?," Miranda asked.
"Since Martel, so Yuu and I have three years on you two," Allen said.
"Wow four years and no one noticed.... wait three years on us?," Lavi paused, thinking, "... How did you find out!"
Kanda smirked. "Well, you guys are kinda obvious. Everyone knows, we just pretend not to... to be nice."
"Oh gee thanks," Lavi said, throwing, his hands in the air.
Miranda ignored him and turned to Lyric. "So, your name's Lyric?"
"Yep, but Kaa-san and Tou-san call me Lyre."
Lavi started laughing. "Haha. Kaa-san, tou-san! Oh man!"
"Shut it Usagi, I can still cut you up," Kanda spat.
"Oh Yuu! I'm so scared! EEK!" Kanda leapt over the table and began chasing Lavi around the canteen.
Allen, watching them, said to Miranda, "I'm glad some people still treat us the same."
"Well if you guys have been together for four years, then technically you are the same, we've just been let in on the secret."
