Disclaimer: I do NOT own -Man. Only the plot of this fanfic.

Warning: Just a tiny little bit of a not-so-good sight of a dead body.

"Would you care to explain what happened here? Two young men," Lenalee blurted.

"M-miss Lenalee.." the drunken man stuttered as he stared at her.

"I have nothing to explain." Yuu shot her a menacing glare as he walked away from them to the corner where his sword flew out. Then he picked it up and finally stepped outside the crazy bar.

"..." Lenalee could only stare at the direction from where Yuu disappeared.

Chapter 2:

Demon hunt

Yuu Kanda was still pissed off. His face remained impassive but it clearly showed in his brows that was knitting together. It was as if two swords were about to clash each other. Although it was a big relief to him that he finally managed to get out of that crazy bar. He would never go back there. Heck, he didn't even want to pass by that street anymore. Never.. Who knows that not only once you stepped inside the bar will you get dragged inside by a weird flirty girl, but also if you walk pass by that street. That would be insanely hell.

And here he was, standing in front of the opened medium square-sized window of room 404. The room number that the owner of the inn gave him. He was staying the night there. It was tranquil and he was quite enjoying the calm breeze of the night, the cool touch of wind every time it blew and brush softly against his face. Everything was in good rhythm. And so he let himself relaxed for a little while, closed his eyes with arms folded across his chest and stood still there, body stiffened just like a statue.

The bar that opened as a normal bar in the morning wasn't normal when it turned night. It would become a place where anyone could ask for help or advices. Specialty: Demon problems.

Lenalee was in his brother's office that night. Sitting on the sofa, she talked to her brother about the new problem they had to solve.

Just a few while ago, a young woman came rushing to them and explained how her daughter suddenly disappeared from her room while she was in the kitchen.

Kylie was humming a song while she chopped the carrots and cabbages into little pieces. The smell of the fresh vegetables traveled from kitchen onto Milie's room and she could smell it clearly. She giggled as she slowly flipped the pages of the book she was holding and reading.

After a few moments, dinner was prepared and Kylie decided to go upstairs to call Milie.

"Dear Milie, dinner is ready let's eat no-" Kylie stopped as she opened the door fully, not spotting her daughter anywhere.

"Milie..? Where are you?" she stepped inside quietly and observed the whole room, but no sign of her daughter at all. Only the book's pages that she knew Milie's favorite to read was scattered on the floor. It was as if a tornado came only in that spot.

"Oh my..!" Kylie gasped as she saw the window widely opened. She then went downstairs quickly and towards the door of their house, almost tripping in every steps she made. But she had to go to one certain place that she could only think of. Faster..

"Brother, I'll be going now then," Lenalee smiled gently at Komui as she took hold of her cloak and wore it on top of her dark green long dress that ran down until the middle of her foreleg. Only her black boots were seen under it.

"Lena~leeee, please be careful! Alright my baby sister!" Komui cried out loud as he waved his hand to her sister who was about to depart for the hunt.

"Yes, don't worry brother."

Yuu Kanda wasn't sure how long had he been sleeping while standing in front of the window. He actually fell asleep while standing. Unbelievable.. But to Yuu, it was only normal. He had trained of course. It is so that he would be able to be aware more of his surroundings even in his sleep.

But then he glanced at the clock that was over the desk beside the bed and it read one o'clock and twenty-five minutes. It was that time already? Yuu Kanda shook his head slowly as he walked towards his bed. Maybe he should still get a proper rest. But before he even made it closer to the comforting bed that awaits for him, he heard a scream outside the inn. A little girl's scream.

~ X ~ X ~ X ~

Lenalee, using her innocence, flew quickly on roof over roof towards the scent of the demon. She was being careful on every landing she made on houses or else everyone would wake up. At her estimation, it would be around past one o'clock that time.

There was indeed a demon. As Lenalee jumped down the nearest street silently, she saw it squeezing the little kid, unconscious on its grip.

"Demon! Let go of the child," Lenalee commanded.

"Ohoh?" the demon turned Lenalee's way as it smirked almost ear to ear-if it had ears- and widened its eyes in anticipation.

"Let go of the child, now!" Lenalee once again, commanded but her voice was louder now.

"No way. It's my food, how would I let it go eh?" the demon started chuckling evilly as it gripped the child tighter that a small whimper came out from her.

Lenalee wouldn't make this any longer. She ran towards the demon and with one forceful bent kick from ground, she flew above it and stretched out her leg, landing a strong kick on its head in a slant form. Due to the impact, the demon crashed roughly into a wall. It was huge that it created a loud BANG. She caught the little girl gently on her arms when she fell from the grip of the demon. Lenalee then looked at the direction of it.

At first, there was no movement, and smokes of powders that was created by the crashed cements blocked the sight from Lenalee. She couldn't see if it was still alive or dead but as she stepped backwards to hide the little kid somewhere in the corner of the street, something fell down from sky. A human's dead body.

Lenalee's stomach churned up from the brutal sight. The corpse was missing its left leg and no eyeballs at all. The whole body was already dried as if all the energy had been sucked before dying.

"What the..." if Lenalee could throw up, she would have already but she had to be patient. Her mission was to finish that huge-headed demon.

"Hmm.." the child slightly opened her eyes and immediately saw Lenalee. To her, Lenalee was, of course, a stranger and so she struggled to break free from her.

"Shh.. Don't worry, I am here to save you," Lenalee hushed the kid and smiled softly which gave reassurance to her.

Milie only nodded as she fell into a deep slumber this time. Lenalee took this chance and put her down in a dark corner carefully then she walked towards the corpse.

"What did you do to this human?" she asked while looking at the dead body.

"I ate his life energy, isn't it obvious, exorcist?" the demon answered sarcastically.

Lenalee shot a glare at the demon and as her innocence was still activating, she jumped high and flew towards her enemy and kicked it once again, lime green lights tailing her boots. She repeated this process over and over against the demon that was still persisting on fighting back.

"Stupid..exorcist.. You'll pay!" the demon lifted its arm and in a blink of an eye, it became gigantic which Lenalee got hit when it swayed.

"Ugh!" Lenalee shut her eyes tightly as blood spurted out from her mouth. She fell down on the ground and could only hear the demon laughing hysterically at her. No, she wouldn't lose!

He was running towards the spot wherein he thought he saw green lights and a.. human? flying through the air. He really had no idea what that was, maybe some kind of a large bird and not a human. Only the huge-headed monster fighting it was what he could see positively.

Yuu Kanda rushed faster while his right hand held the handle of his mugen on his right side. He should kill that monster whatever it was.

When Yuu arrived at the place, he saw the demon-which he called a monster- about to step on a young lady. But as he was going to slice the demon's leg, the green light he saw earlier flying in the air glowed again and with one strike of it, slashed the demon into two, as if the light was a claw.

He knitted his brows together again as he stared at the dead monster. He was trying to analyze in his mind where the light came from but he soon realized that it was from the young lady's boots. So it was from a human girl.

"What is.." Yuu was about to ask when he saw the young lady's face.

Lenalee's hood wasn't covering her head anymore. Her long dark green hair that was highly tied in two-pony tails was so beautiful under the gleaming moon. Yuu stared at her for two reasons; he was impressed by the young lady's strength and admirable appearance, second was because he remembered that face.

She was the one who kicked Yuu's mugen out of his hand early that noon at the crazy bar. He was really pissed off. Why, of all people, did he has to encounter her again?

Lenalee turned his way but instead of talking to him, she walked past him and went directly to the corner where she left Milie sleeping. As she grabbed the kid on the waist, she deactivated her innocence and so the lime green lights that glowed on her boots vanished.

Yuu was clearly glaring at Lenalee but he didn't speak Her wobbly steps didn't go unnoticed by him.

Lenalee deactivated her innocence because she didn't think she'd be able to fly off when she was holding a kid. She could feel a stinging pain on her stomach and her breath was becoming ragged. But she wouldn't give up, she had to go back home quickly before her brother went crazy and announce her disappearance in the whole city. That would be bad.. And she also had to bring the kid to her mother.

After few minutes of passing some blocks, Lenalee was almost nearing their place. She gathered her remaining strength and doubled her pace. But just after few steps, her body surrendered and blood spurted out from her mouth again. She was about to fall down when someone caught her on her arm.

Lenalee's eyesight was blurred, she couldn't clearly see who was helping her walk now. She was being dragged but it was so gentle that Lenalee's eyes could only focus on the back of her savior. She couldn't careless anymore about the red substance that was slowly trailing her mouth until her jawline.

When Yuu Kanda noticed Lenalee wobbling, he couldn't help but follow her. Maybe it was a sight he never wanted to see because of her mother who was so fragile. And so he trailed her but distanced himself few meters away.

"Tsk. Women. As I thought, they're just all fragile," Yuu murmured to himself. He kept on following her, dark blue eyes locked on her petite figure. It wasn't long that he rushed to her when he saw her falling down. He didn't want to do it but his conscience wouldn't just leave him. What was his purpose for following her anyway? Rolling his eyes, he held her on the arm firmly but gently and pulled her so that she would continue walking.

"Hm.. Mommy.." Milie mumbled while rubbing her eyes with her hands. She felt someone holding her and saw Lenalee. She was the woman who saved her. She couldn't wait to see her mother but she was being patient. As her blue eyes wandered, a silhouette of an unknown man met her eyesight. "Hm?" tilting her head, she looked at Lenalee again.

Yuu Kanda recognized the street of that crazy bar and knew Lenalee was aiming to get there. He even swore to himself that he would never go back there and now here he was, walking nonchalantly as they approached it. He heaved a sigh then when they arrived in front of the bar's door, he let go of her arm quickly and started to walk away.

Lenalee felt him let go but she wanted to, at least, show gratitude.

"Wait," Lenalee stopped him.

Yuu rolled his eyes again and paused from walking. He didn't turn her way, only focusing his ears to what she was going to say.

"Thank you," Lenalee bowed her head as low as she could. She used the door for support when she tried to look at him again. The kid kept quiet, thinking that it was adult's business she shouldn't pry to, as she learned from her mother.

"Ehm, would you like to-" Lenalee's words were cut off by Yuu contradicting whatever she was supposed to say.

"No."

Lenalee blinked her eyes, amused by the clear rejection of her offer. She didn't finish her statement yet but he probably guessed what it was. She nodded as Yuu resumed walking again, faster than his normal pace. Lenalee's vision was still blurred, it was like some clouds were blocking her eyes from seeing anything.

"Now, let's go inside, your mother might be waiting there for you." Lenalee smiled at the kid.

"Thank you big sister!" Milie giggled.

Almost one hour had passed when Yuu Kanda arrived back on the inn and onto his room. Sitting on the bed comfortably, he took the mugen out from the belt on his waist. His dark blue eyes following every angle of it as he thought of the young lady's dark boots that glowed with green lights. "What was that?" he thought aloud gripping the mugen's handle firmly.
