WOOT! AN UPDATE!
The Gentleman and Lady 02
'The glove with the scent of roses'
"AH! London!" Allen jumped around like a little child as she stepped out of the carriage. She could not believe her eyes. She was back in the streets of London. She dragged Kanda, who came out of the carriage.
"Where are we going?"
"To my favorite place!" Allen smiled so happily as she dragged Kanda by the hand. She stopped in front of a pleasant looking restaurant. Not too fancy, not to small. Allen sniffed the air around and her cheeks turned crimson.
She opened the door.
"Jerry-san!"
A man popped out of the door that said 'Workers only'.
"Who is this?" The man looked confused. He glanced at Allen and her bright silver hair, "ALLEN?"
"Yes, Jerry-san!" Allen happily hugged the man. The man hugged her back.
"I thougth you were in America?" This man, who was the head cook of the restaurant, was called Jerry by Allen.
"I was, but I finished my education much earlier than I expected." Allen smiled as she grabbed Kanda's hand, "This is Kanda. He is my...body guard, I guess? Come Kanda! Let us sit down at the table! Would you give us the usual Jerry-san?"
"Of course!" Jerry happily walked into the kitchen as he sang a light tune. Kanda looked around the place. It was quite nice. But a bit of a strange place for Allen to be in. Kanda was expecting a more of an extravagent place for her. She was from a high noble family.
Allen giggled as she blushed. She looked like a little child waiting for something.
"Did you come here often?"
"Yes!" Allen happily replied, "I always came here, at least once a week. Jerry-san is the best in London...His food is just so wonderful...I love the curry and cakes he cooks..." Kanda frowned.
Curry?
He expected much more than such a...common food. He was expecting something for fancy and fitting for Allen.
"Is something wrong?" Allen asked at Kanda's unpleasant face.
"Nothing much."
"Do you like soba, Kanda? Jerry-san also makes wonderful sobas. Since you are from Japan, maybe you would like to try some..." Allen offered. Kanda didlike soba...Kanda gave a faint nod. Allen smiled, "Jerry-san! Could you add a bowl of soba to the list?"
Jerry soon came out with Kanda's soba...and a giant plate of food after it.
"AH! How much I missed this meal..." Allen looked as if she was in heaven. Kanda twitched an eyebrow.
"Are you going to eat all that?"
"Oh, of course!" Allen smiled as she picked up the spoon and rapidly ate down her food. Kanda was half finished with his meal when Allen finished hers, "Ah...it's wonderful...How long I missed Jerry-san's cooking..."
"Oh, I missed you too, Allen. I have my regular customers, but none of them are like you." Jerry smiled like a woman. Kanda wondered is Jerry was biologically a male.
Kanda looked at his bowl of soba. He looked at Allen. All of a sudden, he didn't feel like eating. He was curious how Allen was able to keep her petite figure. She was pretty small compared to Kanda. Kanda may be 3 years older, but he saw Allen much smaller than an average lady. She should have been a giant seeing how much she eats.
"...Aren't you pretty small for your appeitite. You're as small as a beansprout."
Allen spat out nearly everything she was eating.
"E..Excuse me? Beansprout?"
"Yeah, beansprout."
"My name is Allen."
Kanda scoffed, "Your name, it's like a name that would be given to a male."
"Well, pardon me," Allen pouted, "My full name is Alice Millenium Walker, but I would much preferred to be called Allen."
"Okay, Beansprout. Whatever you say."
Allen soon exited the place, still very upset with Kanda's name calling. She walked straight out of the place, not even glancing at Kanda once after he started calling her Beansprout.
"...Are you mad?" Kanda felt guilt. He wasn't a person who usually felt guilt, but all of a sudden he found out that she had the authority to fire him.
"Yes, I am very upset," Allen replied so bluntly, "I have a proper name my father has given me, and I would be like to be called that name."
"Look, it's just a nickname, no need to get so emotional...." Kanda murmured. Allen pouted, "Beansprout."
"It's Allen." Allen replied. Kanda gave a glint of evil in his smile. He felt so much pleasure in teasing her. Allen felt awful when Kanda called her such names. She couldn't take it anymore and ran down the streets.
"Hey! You-" Kanda saw Allen running away and chased after her.
Kanda was surprised. Allen was fast. Under her petite little figure was such speed. Allen giggled as she ran down the streets. Then, she disappeared. Kanda lost sight of her and looked around.
She disappeared into thin air.
"...Hm?" Kanda wondered where she went. People don't just fly and vanish. She must have gone somewhere. But where? Kanda wandered around when he found something on the ground.
A glove.
A glove with the gentle scent of roses. Just like Allen.
"...Damn it, she's been kidnapped." Kanda grumbled as he grabbed his sword on the side.
