Chapter 5

After the sleep over things went back to normal for the most part. Now, though, he was avoided by others students who feared punishment from Kanda if Allen went whining to him, which in truth, Allen never would. He also got cold glares from Kanda's fan girls.

Allen didn't mind this all that much due to the fact that he never really talked or interact with any of them in the first place. Now he was left alone for the most part, which partly depressed him but was more preferable than the attacks, both physical and verbally.

He'd also started back up at his part time jobs too. Even though he didn't have to pay for Cross' debts anymore he still had to pay for his food, apartment and all the other stuff he needed. At least he didn't have to worry about not getting his homework done with the whole 'no sleep' crap. It only seemed to get worse and worse; it took everything in him to keep awake in school and at work at times. It was a good thing he was mostly always moving around during work.

Well it'd been a few weeks since the whole incident. Apparently the guys that had jumped Allen had come in after a week and were arrested. Allen never heard what happened to them but he knew he wouldn't see them for the rest of the year at least. That was one thing that Allen was happy about without a doubt. There was one more thing that made Allen happy though; the field trip to Hitachi.

Allen didn't know much about the city but that it was close the beach. That was a big plus. He hadn't been to the beach in forever. He'd went when he was still with Mana but those we very few and far between times. With Cross there was no time for fun, so he was happy even if the trip cost 23,150 yen (250 dollars). He had about three weeks to get the money for it. It wasn't that hard to make that much in one night of playing poker either.

So for the next three weeks Allen worked as much as possible and spent a few sleepless nights playing poker and cheating people out of their money. It was the only skill Cross had really ever taught him, even if it was a horrible one.

Two days before everyone left for the trip the principle had a meeting with all the students in the auditorium; Allen had paid by now.

"Hello students." Rouvelier greeted all the students once they'd been seated. "Now as you all know, everyone has to share a hotel room with another person on the trip. The girls and boys are being kept on different floors; so if someone is found on the opposite genders floor they will be staying with the teachers the rest of the trip and won't be able to do anything the rest of the trip."

There was a low mumbling throughout the auditorium. Allen smiled at Lavi.

"I hope we end up in the same room." He stated.

"Yeah same here. Though I am disappointed I can't share a room with a girl." Lavi jokes as he poked Allen's side with his elbow.

Allen laughed. "Yeah."

Rouvelier coughed to get the attention of the room again. "Now I'm sure you're all wondering how the roommates are going to be decided. I and the teachers have decided its fare to have a random drawling to see who will be paired with whom. We'll have those up tomorrow. So everyone needs to check and find the person they'll be with." Rouvelier stated. Many gowns and other sounds of disapproval were heard throughout the auditorium.

'Of course. It's just my luck for it to end up a drawing. I'm going to get someone who hates me…. Or worse, I'll get Kanda.' Allen cringed at the thought. Kanda would probably torture him during the night or something. He might even be an ass and not let Allen go anywhere he wanted. After all that was said you couldn't go anywhere without your roommate and telling a teacher.

"Come on, Allen!" Lavi said excitedly as he dragged Allen to the drawing table.

"You don't have to drag me Lavi." Allen whined a bit as he stumbled after Lavi and got into the slow moving line. Once they got to the table they drew a number from a box and went to Link with their numbers. Link typed a few things in and told them to go back to class.

"Hey Allen, wanna hang out after school?" Lavi asked happily.

"I can't. I have to work." Allen answered a sad smile on his face as they walked.

Lavi pouted like normal. "Okay. Okay. Fine. Party pooper." Lavi whined.

Allen let out a laugh. "You're such a kid Lavi." Allen remarked.

Lavi was about to respond but a teacher came out of her room and yelled at them, telling them to get to class or they'd both get detention. Allen ran off to his class as Lavi sighed and walked into his.

Allen spent the rest of his night worrying about who he was going to be paired up with for the trip. The next morning he walked in and saw a group of students around a bulletin board.

'The pairings are up.' Allen thought as he walked over and slid his way into the group to see who his roommate would be.

Room 263:

Kanda Yu

Allen Walker

Allen stared in horror. He was with Kanda. His worst nightmare come true. 'I'm going to die….'

"Tch! Just fucking great! I'm with the fucking moyashi for the god damn trip." An arrogant voice came from nearby. The students had made an opening for the famous Kanda Yu to get in.

"It's not like I wanted to room with you either BaKanda!" Allen all but yelled at him. The two glared darkly at each other as other students backed away. It was almost like flames we're about to erupt when Lavi came skipping into the middle of the epic glare down.

"Heyyyyy! Come on it could be worse!" Lavi said gained both of his friends attention.

"How?" Both yelled in unison at the red haired fool. They then turned back to one another and glared once again.

"Just like a married couple." Lavi whispered under his breath. "Well, Yu-chan, you could be with Tiedoll. And Allen you could be staying home alone like normal."

Both of them went silent. Kanda then turned away 'tch'ing and walked off to his locker. Allen only sighed.

'This weekend is going to suck.' Allen thought. They left Friday so he had to pack today since it was Thursday.

Lavi put his arm around Allen's shoulder. "Come on Allen. Relax. You're going to have fun okay." Lavi stated giving Allen a reassuring smile or so he hoped it would be.

"You're not the one spending the nights with Kanda." Allen sighed out going into his dark little world.

"Come on Allen! You never know!" Lavi went on trying to pull his best friend out of his dark little world.

Allen just continued to walk off and go to his locker. He got continuous glares as he walked from Kanda's fan girls. 'How could anyone like a bastard like him?' Even as Allen asked himself this there was a bit of a sting in his heart. He just couldn't tell what it was.

The following day he came to his school at four in the morning with all the other students with his stuff for the trip. He quickly headed to the dark corner of the entrance to the school, yawning all along the way, to where Kanda was standing.

"Morning." Allen yawned out the greeting dropping his things at his feet.

"Morning." Kanda surprisingly replied in a civil tone of voice.

'Must still be tired like me.' Allen thought as he heard the teachers calling for the students to load into the buses. Allen quickly picked up his stuff and looked at Kanda. "We better hurry if we want seats in the back."

"Tch. Don't worry about it moyashi." Kanda said as his rocked his body off the wall. "I have seats saved for us in that bus." Kanda said pointing to a bus were the quite kids, also known as geeks and bookworms, were piling in.

"B-But… Never mind…" Allen shook his head and walked over to the bus with Kanda following. Sure enough, the two back seats we're free. Allen slid into the window seat and Kanda sat next to him with no objections. Allen got himself comfortable and before he knew it he was fast asleep.

Kanda glanced at the sleeping boy next to him. 'He looks worse and worse every day. He must force himself to wake up, if he can come and just fall asleep here on a bus, peace and quiet or not.' Kanda shock his head and sighed. All he could think about was how annoying it was going to be with someone like Allen who seemed to party all night.

The ride to Hitachi was a few hours long. Kanda meditated the whole time while Allen was quietly sleeping next to him. Kanda was actually getting bothered about how quietly Allen was sleeping next to. He glanced over to check just to make sure the Allen was still there and breathing every twenty minutes.

'Annoying moyashi. Why can't he be like the others and breath loud enough for me to hear?' Kanda growled to himself. Even with hearing as good as his, he still couldn't hear Allen's soft breathing. What annoyed him more was that he cared about Allen. 'Tch. It's just because he's my roommate and I'm responsible for him.' Kanda told himself.

Once the bus stopped everyone started unloading. Kanda stood and stretched. "Oi, baka moyashi." He called as he shock Allen lightly. "Get up we're here." He said a bit annoyed.

Allen didn't stir one bit.

"Damn it moyashi! Wake the hell up!" Kanda growled as he shook Allen more. With an aggravated sigh Kanda gave up and threw Allen's bag over his shoulder before picking him up and walking out. Kanda blushed lightly for a second when Allen snuggled into him.

Komui noticed the two, not that it was all that hard to begin with and sweat dropped a bit. He walked up to them. "Here Kanda," He said putting a key card in Kanda's semi free hand. "This is the key to your room. You already know the rule so I'm not worried about you doing anything stupid." He said giving Kanda a smile.

Kanda grunted as his thanks and headed up to the room carrying everything, Allen included, without a problem. Once Kanda got the door open he walked in and set Allen on a bed. After that he went and put the bags down. He sat on the other bed staring at Allen for a few minutes before letting out a sigh. "Stupid moyashi." He whispered before going do to the cafeteria in the hotel and ordering himself soba and Allen everything off the menu.

With a cart full of food and his breakfast finished, Kanda heading back up to the room. Allen was still fast asleep, the covers throw around him, when he got back.

Kanda rolled his eyes when he noticed the sweat covering Allen's forehead. "The idiot must be having a nightmare." He stated out loud to no one in particular. He then took a seat by the window and began to wait for Allen to wake up.

He didn't wait long before Allen jolted up with a gasp. He looked around fearfully for a few seconds before letting out a sigh and hiding his face in his hands.

Kanda raised a brow at the action. "Oi, moyashi." Kanda called from his seat.

Allen tensed a bit. "Y-Yes, Kanda?" Allen asked looking up at said person a bit of fear still evident in his eyes but quickly fading.

"I got you food." Kanda said indifferently as he pointed to the food.

Allen looked at the food, blinked for a few seconds and looks back at Kanda. "T-Thanks..."

Kanda shrugged. Then looked out the window at the ocean.

Allen sat there for a minute or two staring at Kanda, he was shocked he hadn't asked about the nightmare after all Allen could feel his forehead soaking in his sweat. All those thoughts were pushed aside when his stomach growled loudly. He quickly got up and devoured the pile of food. After he was finished he went into the bathroom and washed off his face. He stared at himself in the mirror.

'I look like shit…' He couldn't help but think as he looked at himself. The bags under his eyes weren't as dark as before but were still visibly there. His skin was pale, most likely due to the nightmare. The scar down his cheek didn't help one bit either. Over all he looked like shit. Just a tired, worn out kid.

A soft knock came on the door to the bathroom. "Oi, moyashi, let's go to the beach." Kanda said in a calm voice.

Allen would have responded if he wasn't in such shock over what he'd heard.

"Well?" Kanda's voice came out a bit annoyed now.

"O-Okay." Allen said walking to the door and opening it to find Kanda in his swimming trunks and a shirt with flip flops. Allen stared at the transformed Kanda.

"Stop staring damn it!" Kanda growled giving a cold glare. He swiftly turned around and walked to the door. "I'm going to tell Komui we're going to the beach." He stated before the door slammed shut behind him.

Allen stared at the door for a minute before everything clicked in his mind. He quickly striped and got into his swimming trunks before sitting on the bed again and slipping on his t-shirt. He waited a few minutes before Kanda came back.

"Let's go." Kanda ordered not even going back into the room.

Allen jumped up and grabbed two towels before running to Kanda. "Okay!" Allen answered smiling happily at him. Kanda gave a 'tch' and snuck out of the back entrance of the hotel and headed down the road away from the public beach. "Uhh… Kanda? Isn't the beach over there?" Allen asked as he pointed to the nearby beach crowed with people.

"Just shut up and follow me moyashi." Kanda growled back as he continued to walk away from the beach and into a forest area nearby.

Allen suddenly felt nervous. "But Ka-"

Kanda whipped around facing Allen. "Okay listen moyashi as far as I'm concerned I'm taking care your weak ass so just shut up and follow me."

"I-I'm not weak!" Allen cried out as Kanda walked away ignoring him. "Stupid BaKanda! I'm not weak! I can take care of myself!"

"Tch. That's why I had to save you from those meat heads." Kanda replied as he walked deeper into the forest. Suddenly he walked right off the path and through the brush and branches.

Allen gave no reply to the comment and only followed silently wounding if Kanda was planning on killing him out here or something so no one would ever know much less find out. Yet even with thoughts like that he couldn't help but feel some kind of safety around Kanda that he'd only felt with Mana but it still wasn't the same. It was somehow different in a way he couldn't identify… or maybe he just didn't want to identify.

"We're here." Kanda stated as he walks through a bright opening at the end of the forest.

Allen followed though and gasped at the sigh that was in front of him. It was a small beach, clear of any human life and trash, and hidden by rocks. The water sparkled in the sun, a clear blue color. Allen couldn't help but break out into a smile. "This is amazing Kanda!"

"Tch. Just don't tell anyone. I've been coming here alone on every trip. The only reason I brought you here was because I can't ditch you at the beach alone without getting screamed at because you end up at the hospital for god only knows why." Kanda said coldly as he walked forward and to one end of the beach.

Allen at that point wanted to deck Kanda but ignored him and opted to put the towels down, take off his shirt and run into the water.

Hours pasted by and Allen watched for a bit as Kanda trained on the beach. Other times he went exploring around the rocks only to be yell at or given a warning by Kanda. Around lunch time they went back to the hotel and got food before going back.

It was about 6 when the sun started to go down. By now both Allen and Kanda were sitting in the sand enjoying the peace and quiet.

"I love to watch the sun set. It's so pretty." Allen started with a smile as he looked that the colors covering the sky.

"For once I think we agree moyashi." Kanda stated at he too stared at the site. "But we'll have to leave soon. You're stomach will start growling insanely right? I bet you're already hungry."

Allen didn't answer confirming what Kanda thought. "I don't want to leave yet though." Allen said quietly. "It's so nice and quiet out here… I feel like I can forget everything."

Kanda stayed quiet for a moment. "I didn't say we had to leave now."

Allen smiled at Kanda. 'It's nice to feel like this.' Allen couldn't help but think as he lay back in the sand.

They stayed there quietly chatting a bit till the sun had finally gone all the way down. "Come on. We need to head back or Koumi will call the police or something." Kanda stated as he stood and grabbed his semi wet towel from a nearby branch.

Allen sighed a bit but nodded and stood as well. 'It was nice will it lasted.' Allen couldn't help but think. He'd learned a bit about Kanda. Like he lived with his foster father Froi Tiedoll and had two foster brothers as well. One that Kanda said was okay was named Nosie Marie. He was blind (i hate myself for messing this up the first time =_=). The other, Kanda said was an annoying idiot he just wanted to bash over the head, was named Daisya Barry. He played soccer. Kanda said he'd probably hear his name at some point because he was one of the best players the school ever had.

Allen on the other hand hadn't said much. He ended up telling Kanda why he was living alone which seemed to spark a response from Kanda but Allen was sure it was just his imagination. Allen of course didn't tell Kanda the full story which annoyed Kanda to no end but he didn't pry due to the fact he knew he'd find out in time if he needed to know.

Kanda was shocked as they walked back to the hotel about how much he wanted to know about the younger boy. It was defiantly more than he wanted to know about anyone other than Alma. But that was a long time ago. Now that Kanda thought about it, Allen was a lot like Alma. They never stopped smiling that annoyingly happy smile, fake or not. But as they neared the hotel Kanda pushed that out of his mind.

They went to dinner, ate then went up to their room. There was just a bit of small talk between them and Kanda was pleasantly surprised when Lavi didn't come over to bother them. Allen on the other had been a bit disappointed that he didn't come over to talk to them. He wanted to tell Lavi about the beach and about how nice I'd been to be with Kanda alone.

Suddenly the weight of that though and feelings hit him. He wanted to be with Kanda alone more. That was defiantly not right in his mind. Yet for some reason the feelings wouldn't leave him. It scared him a bit.

It wasn't long before they decided to go back to the room and go to bed. By then it was already 9'o'clock. They had small arguments as they got ready to go to bed but the second Allen's head hit the pillow all talking ceased. He was out like a light.

Kanda was left in amazement. He swore that Allen would stay up all night or something and be a bother. Instead he was sleeping like a baby. Kanda just shook his head and lie down and thought about the day until he, too, fell asleep.

Taiko: soooo it's kindda long i think o.e it's what 9 pages worth of writing?

Kanda: tch. that doesn't make up for anything.

Taiko: no one asked you. =_="
