The train ride to Japan was more of a quiet trip rather than a fight that could have de-railed the train. There was no Lavi to cheer them up, no Lenalee to chat to and no other finders that accompanied them. As Kanda stared out of the window he noticed how every now and then Allen would give him a blank stare, meaning nothing yet something at the same time. Kanda always wondered what was hidden within those stormy eyes, the same eyes he would have to stare into this entire week spending time in his past with the person who owned those eyes.

Allen was wondering what had gotten into the -great- Kanda Yuu that would always complain about something however, this was a complete and utter mystery of why he was so quiet. What was very strange was how upon arrival Kanda hesitated to leave the train.

Seeing this Allen got off the train first and waited outside for him to step out.

While Allen was waiting all he could do was mutter "what's with him today."

The person who had first reported the akuma sighting was already there waiting for them. Kanda realized with a pang that he knew this person and wasn't very happy when said person ran up to greet them. Kanda could only hope to get rid of the akuma as soon as possible and leave this dreaded place. As if to answer his request an akuma appeared behind Allen not allowing any time for him to react, Kanda took out Mugen and killed it with a swift cut that left it lying dead before Allen's eyes.

"Damn moyashi, too slow for your own good "was all Kanda said before sheathing Mugen and walking briskly away.

"Bakanda! I was going to react but you butt into my fight!" yelled a flustered Allen for showing his mistake in front of the client.

As Allen sighed and followed the client to the designated place, he couldn't help but to think what was going through Kanda's mind at the moment as he glanced up to see Kanda walking in front of him with the client at the most front. Allen decided to ask some things from the client to include inside the report and ran ahead of Kanda.

"here we are" the client announced as a thick forest of pine stood in front of them, "this was where I saw the akuma and fled afterwards, I wouldn't want to see them again so I leave that up to you two" after saying this he left without another glance.

So, I have to deal with this place once again, after many years of trying to forget about the past they still come back and haunt me. How many more years do I have to wait or cope with in order to get rid of them. Such thoughts were flitting through Kanda's mind as he thought of the many ways he could kill the akuma and relieve his stress when his blade sliced through them.

"It's getting dark, let's stop here and continue the search for them tomorrow" Kanda commanded.

"I'm not tired though, you can go and rest, I'm going to keep on searching!" commented Allen as he kept cutting through the dense shrubbery.

"you are going to go back and rest, there is nothing here at the moment and us being here will only wear us out, it won't be much of a difference if we stayed or not." Replied Kanda as he slowly started making his way back relieved that they could take a short-cut through the forests and not have to go through the town. Only to notice that they couldn't take the same route back into the forests and they could only go through the towns.

This means I'm going to have to avoid some people, that is, if they still remember . This is starting to become a tiresome job.

"oi! moyashi! Let's go b-" Kanda didn't get to finish his sentence as he noticed Allen standing in front of an immense tree that dropped pink blossoms gracefully all around him.

"hey Kanda, What kind of tree is this?" questioned Allen, as he turned around seeing that there was no answer only to see Kanda charging straight at the tree with Mugen drawn "Kanda!"

Upon hearing Allen's voice Kanda stopped just a few mere inches from the tree, turned and walked away melding together with the shadows of the forest as he headed back to the inn, leaving a very confused Allen. Seeing there was nothing he could do and understanding that him staying here wouldnt help him answer his questions he followed Kanda back towards the inn.

As the two exorcists left the clearing the tree started bathing the entire forest around them in an eerie light that seemed to entrance all the animals within it, leading them towards the tree and all of a sudden disappearing from eyes view.
