"Reever-san!"

"Ah, Lenalee, Allen," Reever blinked as he turned to face the two exorcists in the cafeteria. "How can I help you?"

"Did you see my brother?!"

"The supervisor? He's in his office, isn't he?"

"He escaped!" Allen said, "And he poisoned Lenalee's chocolates and Kanda and we need to find him!"

"Poisoned Kanda?" Reever stared. He looked at Lenalee. "Then, you were making chocolate for Kanda?!"

"No-! Well, yes, but it wasn't only for him! It was for everyone!"

"E-Everyone?" Reever said slowly. He looked at Allen, who smirked at him.

"Tell the Science Department I'll be collecting my earnings later." Allen said proudly. Then he turned serious, "But right now, we need to know where Komui went!"

"If you're looking for the supervisor," Johnny said as he walked past with his tray of food in the cafeteria. He pointed, "Isn't that him?"

"Ah!" Allen yelled as Komui, who had been trying to sneak stealthily past in the busy cafeteria, froze. "Lenalee, he's there!"

Komui cursed and broke out into a sprint as Allen chased him, and Lenalee smiled at Reever. "Thanks!" She said, then turned and ran after her brother and Allen.

"Uh," Johnny said, peering after the trio from behind his thick glasses. "What did the supervisor do this time?"

Reever reached up his hand and scratched his head. "I have no idea." He said. "Something along the lines of poisoning." He said. "Kanda."

"Poison?!" Johnny gasped. "Kanda?!"

"Yeah." Reever said. He sighed.

"Komui, even if it's Kanda, you better have a damn antidote."

"STOP RIGHT THERE!"

"Woah!" Komui yelped as he dodged Allen's huge claw. Allen yelled and shot out his large claw towards Komui, who fished a familiar looking pipe from his pocket and blew into it, shooting a dart into Allen's claw.

"Ah." Allen blinked as his claw shrunk and formed into his cursed arm. He frowned. "Innocence, activate!" Nothing happened, and Allen blinked in confusion. "Huh?"

"Innocence! Activate!" Allen said, only to encounter failure. "Activate!"

"It's no use!" Komui sang and Allen glared at him. "Your Innocence is disabled for the time being! You can't use it-hahaha-!"

"Damn it!"

"Allen!" Lenalee ran to Allen's side. "Are you alright?!"

"I'm fine, Lenalee." Allen said. He shook his arm, and sighed. "Just, Komui disabled my Innocence. I can't activate it."

"It's fine." Lenalee smiled. "I can go after him. Kanda destroyed Komurin last time so I'll catch him easily."

Komui just smirked, took a remote control out of his lab coat's pocket, and pressed a button.

A whirring noise sounded and Allen and Lenalee stared as the ceiling opened and a Komurin robot flew in, landing heavily on the ground in front of Komui. The man laughed and scrambled up the robot into the seat, announcing proudly, "This Komurin can fly!" He said, "It was built for escape purposes!"

"He's escaping!" Allen exclaimed, pointing at the Komurin with what looked like dragonfly wings.

Lenalee rolled her eyes. "Brother…" she said in exasperation. She turned to Allen. "I'll go after him. Help me take care of this, okay?"

"Alright." Allen said as Lenalee handed him the plastic bag of chocolates. She smiled at him then jumped off the ground, and he called after her, "Be careful, Lenalee!"

"Yeah!" Lenalee said as she zoomed after Komui. She considered using her Innocence's attack, but she didn't want to send Komui flying away. If she did, where would they get the antidote for Kanda?

Lenalee sighed. She increased her speed until she caught up with the flying Komurin. "Big brother!"

"Lenalee!" Komui said, his eyes widened. "Ah wait Komurin! Don't attack her!"

The new Komurin not only had wings, but also tentacles which snapped out at her. Lenalee dodged them, twisting and turning and waltzing through the air. She aimed a powerful kick at one tentacle, breaking it off and causing it to fly through the air. She evaded an incoming tentacle, bending her body with a graceful arch in the air and plowing her boot through it with a yell.

"No! Komurin!"

"Red alert, red alert. Target spotted."

Lenalee frowned as she dodged several more tentacles. She needed to get her brother away from the robot so that she could destroy it. Nodding to herself, she charged forward, evading the tentacles left and right as she headed to the cockpit.

The tentacles tried to bend to reach her, and Komui shouted in panic, pushing the buttons on his remote. "No, Komurin! Don't bend, don't bend!" He jabbed the buttons frantically as Lenalee headed towards him. "Ahhhhhhh! Lenalee, don't come this way!"

"Lenalee!" A familiar voice shouted. "Get Komui out of the way! I'll handle this!"

"Lavi!" Lenalee gasped, seeing Lavi with his hammer ready. Going behind her brother, she hooked her arms under his and quickly shot out of the cockpit, bringing her brother with her. She flew him to safety, where Allen was.

They watched as Lavi swung his hammer and hit the Komurin robot hard, sending it flying towards the ceiling. It flew out into the sky. Lavi landed on the railing, raising his hammer in an almost imperious manner.

"Innocence, Level Two: Activate!" Lavi shouted, green eye narrowed, "Ten Ban: RAITEI KAITEN!"

There was a rumble and a flash, then lightning streaked out of the sky, piercing through the Komurin robot in one deadly strike, blinding the place for seconds. Everyone watched as the Komurin exploded in the clear blue sky, and Komui screamed, falling to his knees, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! MY KOMMMMMMUUUUURIN!"

"Extend!" Komui sniffed as Lavi jumped off his hammer and landed on the ground, looking down at him. "What? It's just a robot." He said. "You can always make another one."

Komui sobbed, as Lavi said, "But you can't make another Exorcist," he looked at Komui. "Now where's the antidote?"

"I don't know." Komui sniffed. "Koooomurin…"

"Big brother!" Lenalee said, hands on her hips. "Really! Kanda- you made Kanda unconscious!" She yelled, "I can't believe you! And you don't want to give us the antidote?!"

"Looking back," Allen said, "Even Kanda doesn't deserve such a bad fate." He grimaced. "Dying by your poison…"

"Kanda should be able to recover from it…" Komui sniffed again. "It's not like I was going to kill him!"

"Well, Yuu isn't recovering!" Lavi yelled, slamming his hammer down on the ground. There was a cracking sound, and Komui stared up at him. "He's still unconscious!"

"Lavi…" Lenalee said softly. She tried to meet his eye, "I'm sorry, this is all my fault…!"

"No, it's mine," Allen mumbled guiltily. "For…goading Kanda to eat that chocolate. I didn't know it would be so serious."

"I'm sorry." Komui looked up, his gaze serious, "I didn't know it would have such an effect on him."

Lavi inhaled, then looked Komui in the eye. "Hey, Komui. Yuu is an important Exorcist, isn't he?" He smiled. "Kanda Yuu is a special Exorcist." He leaned in, and whispered, "The only one of his kind left."

Komui's eyes widened. He stood up straight, adjusting his glasses. "I was never going to let him die or be seriously ill." He said. "If that is what it is. He has only sustained and recovered from physical injuries before, I didn't consider what chemicals would do to his body." He said, pushing up his glasses. "I was careless."

"Not careless enough to not have an antidote?" Lavi said casually.

"Of course not." Komui smiled. He slid his hand into the pocket of his lab coat and pulled out a syringe. He handed it to Lavi. "I haven't tested it yet, but it should work." He said. "Ninety nine percent."

Lavi received the syringe. "I can take that." He said.

"Then, I'm going." Komui said. He turned and was about to return to his office, when Lenalee called.

"Big brother!" Lenalee smiled at Komui, "About the chocolate for Valentine's Day…there's one for you too." She said as she held a chocolate heart in a plastic bag tied with a green ribbon. "I was making it for everyone. But I guess I can't give this to you now." She said with a wry smile. "But, you were the second person I was going to give it to. I approached Kanda first because he was the one who gave me the idea."

"If not, you would have been the first." Lenalee smiled, meeting Komui's eyes. "Because you were the first person I considered family here…big brother."

"Lenalee…" Komui said. He smiled. "I'm touched. But I guess I don't deserve it now, huh?"

"Of course not, you poisoned it!" Lenalee frowned at him and Komui looked guilty. But then she smiled, "But I'm going to make them again." She said. "You'll get yours first."

"Really?"

"Uhuh." Lenalee nodded. Then she blinked, and said, "If the antidote works for Kanda!"

"Of course it'll work!" Komui grinned widely. He spread his arms, heading towards Lenalee, "Lenaleeeee-OW!"

"That's for poisoning Kanda." Lenalee said as she removed her boot from her brother's head. He sniffed and rubbed the bump on his head and she sighed but smiled. "Really. You could have just asked!"

"Sorry…but all's well that ends well!" Komui threw his hands up into the air with a gleeful grin. "Chocolate from Lenalee!" He danced around like the crazy man he was. "A heart shaped chocolate from my precious Lenalee!"

"Sis-con." Lavi said. Allen looked at him and he said, "That's what Yuu would have said if he were here."

"Sorry…Lavi."

"It's fine, Allen." Lavi smiled. He held up the syringe, "I have the antidote now after all!"

Allen smiled. "Yeah." He said in relief.

"Go back to your work!"

"Okay, okay! I'll get my heart shaped chocolate later, right?!"

"Yes, yes!" Lenalee smiled fondly as Komui skipped away, then turned to Allen and Lavi. "Sorry about that." She apologized. "My brother can be so crazy sometimes."

"Oh we're used to it." Allen said.

"Uhuh, and speaking of chocolate, I have a gift for you two too!" Allen and Lenalee blinked at Lavi, who grinned and dug his hand into his pocket. "I remembered when I was with Yuu in my room just now."

"Your room?" Allen asked in surprise.

"Yeah. If I entered Yuu's room he would gut me with Mugen when he woke up." Lavi said. "So I took him to my room." He pulled his hand out, opening it to reveal two halves of a heart wrapped with orange wrapper. "Ehehe. Orange's my favourite color so I couldn't resist!" He grinned, "Good thing Panda-jiji wasn't there!"

"Here. This one is for you, Lenalee," Lenalee blinked but received the half of a heart from Lavi. "And you get this one, Allen."

"Happy Valentines' Day!"

Lenalee smiled, "Thank you, Lavi!" She said as she held the half of the heart carefully, "It's such a nice surprise."

"Thanks." Allen said. He looked at Lavi. "I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but why is it only half of a heart?"

"Well, if you join the halves, you get a full heart, yeah?" Lavi said. He grinned, "You can just join your half of the heart with Lenalee! Create a heart with her! Wouldn't that be nice?"

"Lavi!" Allen said as Lenalee flushed.

"Kiddin'," Lavi smiled. "Why, huh?" He said. "Maybe because I'm an Exorcist, so one half of my heart is with you guys," he pointed at Allen and Lenalee. "But I'm a Bookman too, so the other half is for my books and secret history." He grinned, "Or something like that!"

"Then," Allen said, lowering his gaze. "What's that sticking out of your pocket?"

Lavi blinked. He reached and pulled out the orange heart, holding it up to the light. "This?" He said. "It's a heart, I guess?"

"Is it for yourself?" Lenalee asked.

"Nah." Lavi said and Lenalee and Allen blinked. "It's for someone special."

"Special?"

"Yup. Someone quite special." Lavi said. He turned the orange heart over, "Someone who has captured both halves of my heart."

"Don't tell me…" Allen said, his eyes wide, as Lenalee gasped, her hand to her mouth. "You met a girl?!"

"What are you saying? I'm always meeting girls, Allen!" Lavi laughed as Allen stared. He grinned heartily. "Nah. Not a girl. Not at all." He said. "It's not what you're thinking of. Even if it's Valentine's Day." He smiled. "How do I say it? It's just someone who is both a comrade and is of interest to me. Someone really interesting." He said. "As a Bookman."

"Just thought I'd give it to them on this day of hearts."

"…It's not for me, is it?" Allen said hesitantly, looking like he was unsure on what to think. "Since I'm the Destroyer of Time."

"Oh don't worry Allen, it's not for you!" Lavi waved off. His green eye glinted as he turned, pocketing the heart, his other hand still holding the antidote. And his large hammer. "Well, I gotta get back to give the antidote to Yuu! See you!"

"Lavi!" Lenalee said anxiously, clutching the half of the orange heart. "Kanda's alright, right?!"

"Yeah, just unconscious." Lavi said, straddling the handle of his hammer. "He'll be fine. Or I'll personally hunt Komui down." Lenalee blinked. "You don't have to worry, Lenalee."

"Okay…take care."

"Yeah." Lavi smiled back at her, then turned his attention back to the front. "Extend!"

Allen and Lenalee watched as Lavi extended his hammer to the floor of his room. He hopped off, shrunk the hammer and slid it safely back, then opened the door, closing it behind him as he walked in.

"So…" Lenalee smiled at Allen. "Who do you think Lavi's going to give that heart to?"

"I don't know." Allen said honestly. He held a hand to his chin, "Someone who's a friend and who's also the secret history…I can't think of anyone like that." He said. "I already know it's not me, even if I'm the Destroyer of Time…"

"It's surprising," Lenalee said. Allen looked at her, and she smiled wryly. "Lavi doesn't usually celebrate Valentine's Day."

"He doesn't?" Allen was genuinely surprised. "I thought he would go around flirting with women…"

"Nope. I was surprised too." Lenalee confessed. She pondered, "Well, he didn't reject it like Kanda does, but he isn't as enthusiastic about it as you would expect."

"Hmm." Allen said. "The Science Department should place bets on this, and not who's your Valentine." He said. "The answer might be surprising."

"My Valentine?"

"Yeah." Allen said to the surprised Lenalee. He smiled sheepishly, "You were making chocolates, so everyone wanted to know which guy you were making them for." He said awkwardly. "Um, most of the votes were on Lavi and me and even Komui, as a gift to your brother. No one guessed Kanda though."

"I shouldn't have given it to him first, I should have given it to my big brother," Lenalee sighed. "It would have taught him a good lesson."

Allen blinked, then grinned, "That's what Lavi and I were thinking too." He said. "Great minds think alike, Lenalee."

Lenalee smiled. "So who did you bet on, Allen-kun?"

"Me?"

"Uhuh. You were in on the bet, weren't you?"

"Yup, and looks like I won it." Allen grinned widely. "Because you were planning to give the chocolate to everyone after all."

"Congratulations." Lenalee grinned back. She looked at the plastic bag Allen was still holding. "I can't give those, though. Since big brother poisoned them." She said. "I'll have to make new ones."

"We didn't tell you because we didn't want to waste your efforts." Allen confessed. He sighed. "But in the end they're wasted anyway. Sorry about that."

"No, it's okay." Lenalee said with a smile. She tilted her head, "Will you help me make more chocolate hearts for everyone?" She smiled. "Allen?"

Allen looked surprised, as if he hadn't expected that. But he returned Lenalee's smile.

"I'd be happy to, Lenalee."
