Chapter Number: Six

Chapter title: Recovery and silence

Yuuki felt herself waking but her eyes just would not crack open. She moved her fingers slowly and felt smooth fabric beneath her fingers. She tilted her head to her side and it was soft. It seemed like the events that happened a few hours ago were miles away. She was mildly aware that someone was holding her hand gently.

'Yuuki, Yuuki-chan, are you awake?' A soft voice said.

Yuuki nodded, eyes still closed. The gentle hand had pulled away.

'Okay. Can I ask you some things?' Ah, Yuuki recognized this voice… its Lenalee.

Yuuki nodded again, and cracked her eyes open. She was in a bright room and was surrounded by white. She was back in the complex, but in a room she didn't recognize. Lenalee was sitting next to the bed she was on.

'Do… do you know these people that got you?'

'N-no.' Yuuki's voice was horse from the screaming.

'Okay. Does the name 'Noah', ring a bell? Do you know what it means?'

She racked her brain for the term.

'Well… Ark, Noah's Ark? I know that it's in the bible… but no, I don't know the term Noah. Not… personally.'

Lenalee nodded.

'Well, I think you should get to know some things, since you seem to be involved now.'

Yuuki bite her lip anxiously and blinked.

'We might be called Yuu Corporation, but we are actually a façade for something called the Black Order. The Black Order… is an organization that works with the government to find companies that work against the government.'

'So…' Yuuki frowned and said slowly. 'You find companies that work against the government?'

'Exactly. Yuu corporation acts as a cover for the government and allows the government to work in the best interests of the people.'

'So that's why Yuu Corp. has grown so rapidly…'

Lenalee smiled briefly, but her expression turned serious.

'You were found in the parking lot of Noah's Ark, a company we suspect is working against the Black Order and government.'

'Oh…' Yuuki looked troubled.

'That company… is a mysterious one. We haven't been able to get too much information about them. Their company base is outside the city, making it both physically and digitally unreachable. Even our best hackers can't get in without any connection… From what information we have, the Ark is scheming something.'

'Sorry, wait. Lenalee… the Black Order… has it always been a… like… this kind of organization?'

'Since the twenty first centaury, why?'

Yuuki stayed silent for a while.

'I think...my grandmother, worked... for the Black Order.'

'Lavi.' Kanda called the rabbit again. He still had questions for him.

'Oh, hey Yuu! I see you're the prince in shiny armor for Yuuki-chan here!'

Kanda gave an annoyed grunt.

'Something you want to ask?'

Kanda stayed silent.

'Ah…' Lavi's playful tone was replaced by a more serious one. 'I can't tell you. Not here.'

They stayed silent for a while.

'Hey! Why don't you drive me round! Drive me to Yuuki-chan's house? Please?'His playful tone had returned.

Silence.

Kanda gave an annoyed grunt and started to get out of his seat.

'Get your ass to the carpark.'

As soon as Lavi had more than 50% of his body in the car, Kanda had sped away, leaving poor Lavi to pull the rest of his body in the Ferrari before slamming the door close.

'Yuu! It's not safe, don't do that!'

Kanda ignored him and continued driving to the Slums.

'…Lav-'

'Shh—we can chat when we get there. Not in this car.'

Kanda gave a curt nod and continued driving in silence.

Well, Kanda stayed silent and Lavi blabbered on. It was something Kanda had to get used to.

It was noon by the time they were at the Slums. There was familiar warmth on Kanda's skin as the sun basked them in its beams. As always, the towering skyscrapers reflected the light, and the broken windows cast odd shapes across the abandoned grounds.

Kanda had pointed out Yuuki's apartment to Lavi and they were on the staircase right now.

Lavi chuckled. 'Isn't it ironic? The Slums are supposed to be so dangerous but Yuuki-chan hasn't run into trouble for years. As soon as she steps into the city…' Lavi's voice trailed off.

'Lavi.' Kanda stared into the red head's eyes. Hard. 'Why did Kaname get kidnapped, and who is she?'

Lavi gave a humorless laugh.

'I did promise to tell you, didn't I? Hmmm…' Lavi turned his head to the setting sun, seeming to be deep in thought. 'Well then. I'm not too sure…'

'Bullshit.'

'Yuu, Yuu… what I mean is that I don't have all the information, but I do have a general idea, okay?'

'Hmph.'

'The Noah they are a well established company and have information on the Black Order. Yuuki's grandmother was a powerful military provider for the Black Order, once upon a time.'

Kanda grunted. 'That doesn't have anything to do with her.'

'Sure it doesn't. I'm sure the Noah keeps tabs on her, but they wouldn't risk something that might be related to them if she doesn't... pose a threat.'

Kanda's eyes widened.

Lavi gave another humorless laugh 'I suppose the Noah saw her as a threat when she came over for a sleepover.'

Kanda stayed silent.

He finally asked another question.

'What happened to her grandmother?'

'She… was seen as a threat. The Black Order believed that she was scheming against them. They disposed of her.'

'And…? Who is she to you?'

'Ah.' Lavi finally turned round; smile plastered on his face 'She's… no one. A friend. I just met her.'

Kanda narrowed his eyes, but let it slide. He would make the rabbit tell the truth eventually. The Asian man had more than enough to think about as of now.

'And… Kanda? This information… I didn't give it to you okay? It's all unofficially if anyone asks.'

Kanda nodded absent-mindedly as he walked down the stairs. The Asian man turned round suddenly, piercing glare shot back at Lavi.

'…Only if you shut the fuck up on the ride back.'

Lavi gave a dry smile and held his hands up in defense.

'Deal! Whatever you say.'

'Hey, Yuu~?'

'You're supposed to shut up on the way back.' Lavi had interrupted his thought-track. Again.

'Aren't you kind of glad that the Order took over the company and sent you over here?'

Kanda ignored him.

'… all of your cousins wanted the company, yeh?'

Kanda's grip on the steering wheel tightened slightly, but loosened again almost immediately.

'You… aren't going to publically ask the Noah about this, yeh?'

Kanda's glare on the road before him intensified.

'You won't get anything out of it… you know that.' Lavi spoke softly.

They were in the city's car lift again and Kanda got the Ferrari to open the door on Lavi's side. Lavi got kicked out, on the dot.

'Walk back.'

And Kanda drove away, leaving a protesting Lavi behind him.

Little Preview of the next chapter:

'Happy birthday.' The Asian man threw the box at Yuuki and she caught it with both hands.

'So… this is my big present?' Yuuki smiled.

Kanda grunted and left.
