I'm back from the dead with the next chapter of Equal Rights for Women. I'm sure everyone is dying to know what happens to Allen now. Well, read on to find out! And once again, the inspiration of this came from Pretties by Scott Westerfeld. But his book is completely different than this story.

I don't own D.Gray-Man.

Kanda watched as Allen curled himself into a little ball as he slept. His mind trying feebly to protect his body from any other outer harms.

Knowing Allen wasn't going to be waking up anytime soon, Kanda spared a glance at the cause of all their troubles. Michael. Kanda stared into the other man's beady little eyes. He allowed a smirk to grace his features as he looked Michael up and down. The moment he had realized Allen's attacker was waking up he had hog tied and gagged him.

"Serves you right you know," he said, acid dripping off every word. "Trying to rape someone. If the Order only discharges you then you'll be lucky. But I bet they won't. I'm sure Koumi can come up with an exceedingly hard, solo, mission for you."

Michael glared at Kanda before turning his gaze to Allen's prone figure. Lust slowly crawled into his eyes. Seeing this, Kanda strode over to Michael's body in the corner and backhanded him hard across the face.

"Why are you still looking at him? Don't you get it? You tried to rape the Moyashi. Out of everyone in the Order, I'm the one who likes him the least and this is my reaction. When Lavi sees you he's going to shove a firecracker up your ass and then light it!"

The corners of Michael's lips seemed to tilt upwards, which motivated Kanda to remove the gag from his mouth.

"Why are you smiling you sick bastard?" he asked dangerously.

"Because you think you can stop me. You can send me as far away from him as you like, but in the end it won't matter. You're just delaying the inevitable."

"I'm inevitably going to run you through with my Mugen at this rate."

"Why should it even matter to you? You're the Ice Prince, you have no heart. You'd probably even kick a puppy."

"You're a rapist. Or a potential one at least, do you really think you have any right to criticize me foe being mean?"

"I just want to know why Mr. High and Mighty, Mr. Big Shot cares so much."

"I don't."

"Then why did you stop me? You said it yourself, you like him the least amount."

"That doesn't mean I hate him. And I have morals, one of which is to put sickos like you in a place where they can't hurt anyone. End of discussion." Kanda then put the gag back in place. He knew he had to make the phone call to Koumi, but he couldn't leave Michael alone with Allen, and he couldn't wake Allen up. So he decided to take Michael out into the hall with him

"Connect to Koumi," he said to his golem.

A loud click was heard, indicating that a connection had been made.

"Hello, Black Order, Koumi speaking," said the Chinese man's voice.

"It's Kanda."

"Why are you calling so early in the mission? Nothing could have happened yet."

"That's were your wrong. Something did happen."

"Was it an akuma attack?"

"No."

"Then what was it?"

"Our Finder tried to rape Allen."

"WHAT!! DID YOU KILL HER, BECAUSE I SWEAR TO GOD IF YOU DIDN'T LEAVE ANY FOR US BACK HERE..."

"No, I didn't kill him. Not yet at least."

"Him? Allen was almost butt raped?"

"Yes, by Michael. There have been some other problems with him in the past apparently."

"Yes, there have been. He's actually scheduled for a hearing next month. So what do you plan on doing?"

"Well," Kanda said. "I'm hoping you can have another Finder, preferably female, meet us at the next stop. I'll leave this bastard behind and have then new Finder replace him."

"Sounds good, I have a female finder named Kimiko in that area already."

"Alight."

"Oh, and Kanda?"

"Thank you. I don't know what we would have done if you hadn't saved Allen." Truthfully, Kanda didn't know either. Allen's smiles were the other thing that remained constant throughout the war. Who knew what would happen if that were to change?

"Kanda?" Allen's voice called.

"He's waking up Koumi, I have to go."

"Kanda, where are you?" Allen called. "Kanda? KANDA!"

"Ok then, bye Kanda."

"Bye."

"KANDA!!!"

Kanda disconnected his golem and entered the room. Leaving Michael in the hallway. He saw Allen lying on the floor, eyes closed with tears streaming down his face. He could hear Allen chanting his name over and over again in an attempt to make him return.

"Oi, Moyashi, I'm right here."

"KANDA!" Allen cried launching himself at the older teen. He hugged Kanda around the waist and cried. "I thought you had…had left. And that the creepy Finder woo-would come back and do ho…horrible things to me."

Kanda awkwardly rubbed Allen's back. "Che, I'm right hereardly rubbed Allen' Finder woo-would come back and do ho...und the waist and cried. " Allen chanting his name over and. Now let go."

"Promise you won't leave?"

"Let me go."

"I won't let go until you promise."

"Fine, I promise."

"Promise what?"

"I promise I won't leave and let him hurt you."

"Good," Allen said. He unwrapped his arms from around Kanda and stepped back. It was then that Kanda noticed Allen was still wearing the dress, and it still wasn't completely on.

"Do you want me to help you with your dress?"

"Yes please," Allen replied.

Kanda went behind to zip up the back of Allen's dress. He did it quickly and professionally. When he was done he turned Allen around to face him. "We're getting off at the next stop," He said.

"Why?" Allen asked.

"So we can drop off scum nag over there and get a new finder."

"Who's our new finder anyways?"

"It's a girl, her name is Kimiko," Kanda explained.

"Ok and Kanda?"

"Yes bean sprout?"

"ALLEN!"

"Whatever just spit it out."

"Ummm, even after the Finder gets here, promise you won't leave me alone?"

"Che, what's with all the promises?"

"Just do it ok, I've just been exposed to a traumatic experience. I need something or someone to relay on."

"Fine then, I won't leave you until the mission is over. Is that good enough for you?"

"Yes."

Kanda got up and went to the door. "I'm going to the bathroom," he said. "Lock the door, and I'm dragging this sorry ass with me so don't worry. Don't open it for anyone. I'll knock three times, take a break, and then knock two more times when I come back."

Allen smiled as he locked the door. He watched as Kanda walked down the hall to the bathrooms. In all honesty he wouldn't mind if Kanda didn't leave him even after the mission was done.

"Well," he thought. "This is an interesting turn of events. First my rival saves me, promises to protect me, and now I don't even want him to leave me. Damn this dress. It's turning me into a girly man."

Alright, another new chapter done. And for anyone beating themselves up to figure out where they heard the name Kimiko from, it's the girl from Student Council in Fruits Basket who's always throwing herself at Yuki.
