WOW! Chapter 4 already…. And, ^^; sorry about the last chapter… I said that there was going to be the twist, and honestly, I thought I WOULD have the twist that chapter, but the story gods said that it was not meant to be… *sigh* the twist WILL come later on…. Sorries!!! Anyway, on with the randomness!!!

"Three… two… one… ignition!" the voice over the loudspeaker said.

Kanda's rocket started to spit flames out of the bottom and before long, it shot off into the sky, the flames burning red, blue, green, and yellow, letting off a trail of blue sparkles in the black smoke. It flew up into the clouds and out of sight for several minutes. A loud bang was heard as the rocket broke mach 4 again. Everyone clapped loudly as the parachute opened and the rocket fell back to the ground, unharmed.

Kanda let out a relieved sigh. He watched his rocket float back down gently and got on the golf cart with Poe to retrieve it.

'Did you see it, Lenalee? I'm sorry…' Kanda said silently, looking up into the clouds. He couldn't help but think of the now dead girl…

"Yu, snap out of it!" Poe said, snapping her fingers in front of Kanda's face. She then said in a worried voice, "Thinking about Lenalee?"

"Yeah…" Kanda said absently, looking back at the sky.

"Let her go, Bro, she's dead," Poe said, trying to comfort her brother.

They all knew the story. One of the rockets that Lenalee built with Kanda, back when they were going out, fell into a river after its launch. The two went to get it and while Lenalee tried to go into the fast moving current, she slipped and hit her head on a rock. She went under and was swept away before Kanda could do anything about it. When he tried to go in after her, he was held back by a few older men, saying that he would just be swept away too. When they finally got to a part of the river that the current slowed, they found Lenalee on the bank, dead. So ever since, Kanda had continued to fly the rockets, sending up with each one a plead of forgiveness from his dead love. Everyone knew he did that, and they didn't ask any questions about it. That was just how Yu Kanda operated, best not to ask questions if you like how your face is currently arranged.

"I know… but still…" Kanda said, getting to the newly flown rocket. "I can't help but think that I let her die, Poe…"

"I know, Yu, I know," Poe said, checking the electronics that were in the rocket. "Hey, I think this is saying it went up about three miles! That's good, right?"

"Very good," Kanda said, listening to the beeps that sounded like Morse code to the architect. "And you're right, three miles about."

"Wow! Congrats, Bro!!" Poe said, glomping her brother.

"Thanks…" Kanda said, hugging her sister back.

"Did you put the camera in this one?" Poe said, checking the rest of the electronics.

"Yeah, we'll get the film developed later," Kanda said, loading the rocket that was about as tall as he was into the back of the golf cart.

"Sweet!! I can't wait to see it!!" Poe said, getting back behind the wheel and driving them back to the fair. "Hey… I wanted you to know that I'm going to be going on tour with Lavi… we're—"

"Leaving tomorrow, I know," Kanda said, a blank stare on his face. "The devil himself told me."

"Ah, so you know, huh?" Poe asked with a knowing smile. "We both figured you'd figure it out someday. I mean, it IS a good disguise…"

"Not really," Kanda said coldly. "A wig and colored contacts would have been a better disguise."

"Yeah, well, he doesn't need contacts, and he doesn't like wigs," Poe said, the smile still plastered on her face. "Well, I wanted to tell you that you can come with us."

"No thank you."

"But, you'll be alone all summer, then! Allen's going to be in Puerto Rico all summer with Cross! And Lavi and I are going to be in Europe! All of the teachers will be in America for a conference, and most of our friends will be following the tour around!! You'll be all alone here, Yu!! PLEASE come with us!!"

"NO!"

Poe said taken aback by the sudden outburst of her normally stoic twin. She hated it when he yelled, and she hated even more when the yelling was directed at her. She felt like crying.

"Fine…" Poe said, holding back tears. "THERE WAS NO NEED TO YELL!"

Now it was Kanda's turn to be surprised. Poe never yelled. In fact, she often avoided it. But here she was, screaming her head off.

"Do you really hate him that much?" Poe asked quietly.

"Yeah, the little pratt," Kanda scoffed, looking away and crossing his arms.

"You know, ever since fame hit him, he changed," Poe said thoughtfully, tears welling up in his eyes. "He wasn't as…… self centered before. He was kind… and gently… but now he's…"

"He's just like every other cookie cutter pop star out there," Kanda said coldly. "And I hate people that act all stuck up and snobby like that. And those fake smiles don't help either."

"Yeah… you're completely right…" Poe said quietly.

"So, how did it go?!!?" Allen yelled to them as soon as they were in ear shot.

"Three miles up!!" Kanda yelled back, standing up slightly.

"Three miles?!!?" Allen asked in shock. "That's amazing!!!"

Murmurs were sent all through the crowd. Kanda really was a prodigy. Everyone there was impressed. And the show the rocket put on before it disappeared into the clouds was impressive enough.

"Thanks," Kanda said, not letting out the fact that he was just a tad shy from all the whispers about him. He hated the attention his rockets gave him all the time, but it was still fun to make them…

"Congrats, Yu-chan!" Junior said with a smile on his face. He stood next to Poe with his arm around her waist. Kanda saw Poe blush.

"Get you filthy lying hands off my sister," Kanda said menacingly. But the dumb rabbit that was Junior didn't move.

"If she doesn't like it, she can say so herself," Junior said, a hush falling over the crowd. No one challenged Kanda, especially if Poe was involved.

"What did you just say?" Kanda asked, glaring daggers at the rabbit.

"You heard me," Junior said, glaring back, "Or are you deaf along with blind, four-eyes?"

The crowd gasped as Kanda's fist collided with Junior's jaw. Poe screamed and ran, finding comfort in her other red headed friend's arms.

"Dude, that hurt," Junior said with a slight laugh, setting his jaw back in place. "But if that's how you feel about it, then fine…"

The crowd gasped again as Kanda just narrowly missed a punch, but his glasses flew off his face and skidded to a stop at Junior's feet. And Junior, not knowing what he was getting himself into, stepped on said eyewear. Everyone heard the deafening crack of glass breaking.

Kanda looked as broken as his glasses when Lavi picked up his foot, a victorious smirk on the rabbit's face. Kanda was still on the ground from the last punch though, on his side and propped up on his elbows. He couldn't believe it. Someone just had the balls to break his glasses.

"What's wrong, four-eyes?" Junior sneered.

The smirk was wiped from his face in a second as Kanda's foot made contact with his face. Junior was sent backwards and to the ground, the wind knocked out of him. Kanda straightened up and walked over to the pile of broken glass and twisted metal.

"Never do that again, Baka Usagi," Kanda said as he ghosted a hand over the glasses. In seconds, the glasses were fixed. He put them back on and pushed them up his nose with middle and ring ringer. He walked up to Lavi and whispered in his ear, "You should just stick to doing your stupid dances and signing your stupid song, Lavi. That cookie cutter pop star attitude is not welcomed around here. So you better get off on your little tour as soon as possible."

No one said a word as Kanda walked away. The crowd parted for him and he just walked away calmly like nothing happened. Then, walking right past him in the opposite direction was the psychopath himself, Allen Walker.

"Hello there, Junior," Allen said with a mischievous smile, helping Lavi up. "I'm Allen Walker. The man you just hurt is my boyfriend. Now if you have questions before I kill you, now is the time to ask."

"Um… can I live?" Lavi asked, forcing a laugh.

"Funny, very funny!" Allen said, laughing his head off. He then got very serious and said, "No."

Sorry. I'm so mean to everyone…. First I break Yu-chan's glasses, AND THEN I have Lavi get killed by a psycho! No, Lavi does not die, sorry!!!

Anyways, I have a test tomorrow, so I MIGHT not get the next chapter up…. And, btw, TWO CHAPTERS IN ONE DAY!!!!! *dance*

Anyway, R&R please, it helps my type faster!!!
