"Well is anyone going to speak?" Kat crossed her arms over he chest and walked to Komui's desk, her foot tapping impatiently on the floor. Lenelee stepped forward first.

"I'm…"

"Lena-chan. Your innocence is the Dark boots. I know. Komui's told me a lot about you. When he came to the Asian branch for a while." Realization dawned on Lenalee all of a sudden.

"Oh. Nii-san told me about you too. He said you were really sweet and helped to keep him from being too sad over missing me. Thanks for keeping him occupied." She giggled. "I also heard about how you were constantly blowing up his experiments."

"Mhm. All the time." Kat grinned wide and the two girls turned to Komui with evil gleams in their eyes. He flinched under their gaze.

As Lenalee backed away Krory stepped up shyly.

"I am Arystar Krory. And my innocence is my fangs." he blushed brightly.

"I've heard of you too! The vampire exorcist!" Kat squealed excitedly.

"Umm…yes. You could say that." Krory dipped his head in shame. He said nothing else to really show it but by his face it was obvious being called vampire shamed him.

"Krory-sama?" He looked up at her confused. Had she just used a very important honorific with him? "If being called a vampire bothers you, you need to say something. And you can be assured that from now on I won't call you one. I see that it hurts you. " Krory blinked at her. She was grinning so sincerely that he couldn't help but flush. "I want to be your friend Krory-sama."

"Thank you Miss Katarina. I will remember and be sure to tell people." He bowed politely and moved back.

Strutting proudly with poise, arms folded across his chest and a smug grin on his face, Lavi came up to stand in front of her.

"Name's Lavi. My innocence is a hammer that grows and extends." He smirked. "And you are a very lovely la-"A flying kick to the head from Bookman sent the boy tumbling across the room.

"Pathetic brat! Don't be vulgar."

"Stupid Panda! I wasn't being vulgar. I was just saying hi!" he grumbled rubbing his head where Bookman's foot made impact. He slowly staggered back to his feet.

"You were indeed being vulgar now shut up. I'm sorry Miss Kat. He's rather stupid. Just ignore him."

Oh he's fine. I've dealt with worse men than him. Most believe they can just go up to a girl, grope her and get laid. I've made it so that no man that has ever touched me will ever be able to get in a girl's pants." A smirk crossed her face for the millionth time that day and made every male in the room cringe.

After recovering from a cringe of his own, Bookman spoke again.

"As you will Miss. As for me, I have no name you may just call me Bookman."

Kat bowed honorably.

"I have heard of the Bookmen. You have a very prestigious post sir. I myself am a fan of history and would love to pursue that path but as of now I believe only men are allowed." Sadly he nodded. "Ah well. It's good to meet you Bookman-sama." again she bowed.

"Why in the hell are you using Japanese honorifics?" Kanda had been so quiet for such a long time it was easy to forget he was even there at all.

"Hmm. What was that Ka-chan?" she was purposefully testing his temper.

A low growl escaped his throat.

"I said why are you using Japanese fucking honorifics? And don't call me Ka-chan!"

"Temper. Temper. I've lived in the same housing compound as you Ka-chan since I was born. And remember, you and I learned both Japanese and Russian. Old habits and all. Honorifics come second nature to me. I even used to use them while I was speaking Russian. You did too. And why can't I call you that? I always have." His eyes narrowed on her. His hand was gripping Mugen's hilt. The whole room went silent and still.

"You don't know how deep of a hole you're digging with me." He hissed.

"Oh no. I think I do. I just don't care." Her face was smug. A challenge.

"Umm. Kat? Kanda?" Allen spoke up. "Not trying to butt in or anything..."

"Then shut up MOYASHI!"

"Go on Allen." Kat smiled while her eyes were turned icy to Kanda.

"Well. You two grew up together?" it was the thought running through all minds at the moment.

"Yep. We did. And we are best friends!" she giggled.

"F…friends?" this time it was Krory who spoke up. "Y…you don't seem l…like it to me." He stammered.

In a blur, Kat launched herself at Kanda and leached onto him, her arms tight around his neck. He stood there, expressionless.

"He's just fussy. But he really loves me." She made kissy noises at him.

"Bullshit! Now get off of me!" he attempted, fruitlessly, to remove her hands from around his neck. She only tightened her grip.

"Ka-chan! You lie! You love me!" his hand reached for Mugen again. She squeaked. "You wouldn't hurt me! You'd make both of our clans upset! You don't want to start a war again do you?!" she warned.

Kanda rolled his eyes but nonetheless quickly released his grip on his sword. That was something even he didn't want to risk. After a moment he realized she hadn't let go of him.

"Get off!" he said through clenched teeth. Reluctantly she let go with a pout on her face.

"You're mean Ka-chan."

"Don't call me that!"

No one moved for fear of provoking either teen. Well…okay. One was stupid enough to get involved.

"Yu. Don't be so mean." He grinned. "If I had a friend like her I wouldn't deny it."

Kat whirled around to face the redhead.

"What's that supposed to mean?" she didn't sound happy at all. The room held their breath.

"Well…you're hyper like me and you love to give Yu-chan a hard time. Right?" his smile was mischievous and anyone could tell he had devious thoughts running through his mind. But a quick flash of a nearly undetectable warm smile made her breath hitch for a moment.

Her cheeks flushed. She blinked a few times but when she looked back at him, he had that same devilish smirk on his lips again.
