A/N – Kanda will be signing in this part of the story. Italics are his thoughts and 'single quotes marks' are for when he is signing. Remember that I love reviews! Thanks for reading and please enjoy…
Chapter 5
Komui made his way through the dungeon hallways. He noticed that the temperature down there was relatively cold; he made a mental note to get some heaters installed before the winter season. He walked looking for cell F56, Kanda's cell. He didn't know why the Order had so many holding cells their was only a small handful who had ever been thrown into the prison before, the Order certainly didn't need almost 100 cells. He found the cell and grabbed his key from his pocket. It had been almost 2 months since Kanda and Allen have stood on trial and been sentenced, the guards that once stood in front of Kanda's cell had long since been called off duty. It took Komui a second to find the correct key before unlocking the door and entering.
Kanda's POV
I tried to escape multiple times, but I long since have given up on that effort. The metal anklet that was strapped to my leg had a magic spell on it. It refused to let the wearer out of its sealed room without a magic seal covering it. No matter how much I tried I couldn't remove the anklet. I tried to pry it off, break it, slide out of it, and I even broke my foot to see if I could possible manage to slip out of it; but my efforts were in vain. I hated the dumb thing!
I was meditating when I heard my cell door's lock click. I looked up to see Komui enter and close the door behind him.
"Good afternoon Kanda." Komui smiled and sat down in the chair in the corner of the room.
I rolled my eyes. Why the hell was he bothering me? In sign, I told him to leave; but Komui laughed.
"Come now Kanda. I have news that you might want to hear." Komui smirked.
Great, what is the bastard hiding from me? I signed,'What?'
"What if I told you that I can arrange for Allen to come to your cell every now and then?"
My heart stopped for a second, before having to calm myself. Komui wouldn't give me false hope… Would he?
'What do I have to do in return?' He had to have a price of some sort.
"Nothing." Komui smiled. "I just thought you looked lonely. I know that Allen is. He's been asking about you."
That information caught my attention. 'What did you tell him?'
"I am not allowed to relay any information about either of you to the other. The only thing I could tell him is that you are alive and safe, I am not even allowed to say specifics."
'Then why are you letting us see each other?'
"I am not in charge of prisoner cell transfers." He smiled. "Reever is in charge of that issue. And it so happens that…" He reached into his pocket and pulled out a sheet of paper with something written on it. "Allen Walker A.K.A. Prisoner #49, detainment room – C23 is being transferred," Komui read, "to room F57. Reasons for transfer: cell's average room temperature in the night is 40 degrees Celsius, a broken pipe runs above the ceiling and drips water in multiple places in the cell, and the final reason being that Prisoner #49 has developed a bad case of hypothermia. Approval for a transfer is needed." Komui finished reading and looked up.
I looked at him my eyes wide. Allen was sick? And the bastards weren't taking time to put in an extra effort to get the permission to move him? I wanted to punch Komui in the face.
"We have gained permission to move him tomorrow morning, but seeing as Allen's condition is getting worse, we plan to do it tonight." Komui looked Kanda in the eye. "Listen, the only reason I am telling you this is because you can't repeat the information that I am giving you now. I can't tell Allen because he might let the information slip before tonight, by accident."
I sighed; at least Allen was still able to speak.
"We will bring him here tonight around 11. He will be oblivious that he is being moved to your cell, so please try to keep him quiet."
I shot him a glare. How the hell did he expect us to communicate?
"Well," Komui stood up. "Have a nice day. I will be back after lunch for our sign class."
I nodded slowly, not paying attention anymore to my surroundings. Allen… I would be able to see him again.
Komui walked out, closing the metal door behind him.
I laid down on my bed and stared at the ceiling and smiled.
Allen…
