Kanda absolutely hated the very idea of sleeping in. Time to be training or completing missions was wasted when that happened. But lately, she was starting to enjoy it more and more. Must be the cat genes kicking in.
The first thing she saw when she awoke in the morning was Allen. He was lying next to her, and staring at her in complete adoration.
"What are you doing?" she glared.
"I WAS watching you sleep." He smiled sweetly. "You're really cute when you're sleeping." Of course he left out the fact that she still frowned in her sleep. But Allen still found that to be cute.
"You're so weird." She sighed.
"I love you too." He leaned in and gave her a good morning kiss. The two reluctantly got out of ved and started to get changed into their exorcist uniforms.
"God! Can't we just leave him?! I hate that guy!!!!!" Kanda complained about retrieving Link from the Vatican.
"He's not THAT bad." Allen said gently as he buttoned up his coat.
"Yes he is!" Kanda insisted. "He's like a stalker!" Allen took a few seconds to contemplate Kanda's accusation.
"May be you're right……." Allen started to dread Link's arrival.
"Besides, with him around, it'll be harder for us to be alone…." Allen spun around to face his love. But she had her back to him as she was finishing tying her bandanna atop her head.
"Yu!" Allen glomped her from behind.
"!!!" Kanda gasped. She wasn't expecting that.
"I love you so much!" he proclaimed. Allen didn't want anyone or anything to come between him and Kanda. He refused to allow that. Kanda spun around while Allen was still holding on to her, and wrapped her own arms around him.
"I love you too." She smiled. Allen blushed. He had never really seen Kanda genuinely smile with love before.
The Vatican was extremely far away from their hotel. So far away, that they broke down and decided to take the bus. (A/N: I'm not sure about actual busses in Rome. I took a tour bus from Rome to the Vatican when I visited)
Kanda was totally irritated by the fact that both she and Allen were receiving many strange stares as they sat next to each other. Each isle had about two seats on each side. One on the isle and one next to the window. Kanda chose to glare out the window at the passing buildings and streets.
Allen noticed her incredible irritation at the many other people on the bus and held her hand assuringly. When he did that, Kanda's glare softened a bit. But it was revitalized when she heard a child in the row across from her say to their mother (surprisingly in English):
"Mommy! Why are those two people wearing coats? Why does that boy have white hair? His hair looks like a girl's. Why does that girl have a bandanna on? It's covering her ears."
That brat! Kanda thought angrily. As if that child's mother had noticed Kanda's aura becoming more and more blood thirsty, she spoke:
"Shh! Don't stare! And don't say things like that!" She scolded nervously. At that moment, the bus stopped at the Vatican and Allen practically sprinted off the bus with Kanda.
