"If you don't mind me asking, what's the deal with the katana?" Allen questioned, trying to get answers about Kanda's past. Allen knew he wasn't and shouldn't ask about anything involving the murders but he just had to know.
"My katana? It was used to kill.." Kanda paused, took a deep breath and clutched the katana. "It was used to kill my entire family."
"I had no idea. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought it up." Allen said, feeling guilty and slightly amazed that he got an answer out of him.
"It's fine. Don't worry about it. You know you're the first one to ask about it. People just read about the reason in my file then stay away from me. I was nine! I didn't do it! I didn't kill Tiedoll, Daisya or Marie. I didn't do it! They wouldn't listen to a word I said. I tried to tell them everything. About the man and how...I just. They just assumed it was...me. It wasn't me. But, you probably believe I did it, right?" Kanda ranted clutching the katana even tighter as he talked.
"Kanda! Calm down. Please, don't kill me for this!" Allen said as he leaned over and hugged the on-the-verge-of-breaking Kanda. Kanda stiffened at the touch then relaxed slightly, letting the katana rest on his lap once again. Allen released him and smiled.
"Feel better now that you've ranted? You know I'll listen if you need to talk." Allen said with a smile.
"You must think I'm crazy right? Like that red-headed idiot that runs around talking to himself." Kanda stated leaning back against the wall once more with a sigh. He place the katana on the bed and closed his eyes in thought. Allen leaned on the wall as well and waited a moment before replying.
"No, I don't think you're crazy. And if you say you didn't do it, I believe you." Allen commented. Kanda opened his eyes and looked at him surprised.
"You can't really mean that."
"Thank you." Kanda said and Allen smiled, standing.
"I'll be back in a minute, I have to go see a guard about letting an inmate out." Allen stated opening the door. Kanda nodded and Allen let the door lock itself behind him. Allen walked quickly down the white hallways to the glass surrounded office. He knocked on the glass to get the man's attention. He looked up at Allen annoyed then slid open the window.
"Whaaat?" He asked
"You're Lawrence right? I was told to come see you about getting Kanda out of his cell." Allen said and the man rolled the chair out, standing. He grabbed something from the desk and stepped into the hallway. He walked quickly down the halls with Allen trailing behind. Lawrence stopped before Kanda's door, swiped another card through, and entered the cell.
"Come here." He demanded and Kanda reluctantly stood and walked over to the man. Lawrence put a think metal bracelet onto Kanda's wrist,then he put another on Allen's.
"These, though they may not look it, are newly created handcuffs. If one of you goes 100ft from the other, then this one gets enough electricity shot through them to knock them out." Lawrence explained pointing to Kanda as he explained who would get shocked. Allen nodded and fidgeted with his bracelet.
"You can head to the yard if you'd like or just wander the halls, just be back in an hour." Lawrence stated before leaving the room. Allen sighed as he watched Kanda pull on his shoes.
"Where to?" Allen asked as the pair walked down the blindingly white halls.
"Outside, I need some fresh air." Kanda stated as he pushed open a door that led outside.
Inside the small fenced in yard that prisoners were allowed to enter for a hour each day, was empty except for a familiar red-head, and a few other students and their inmates. The moment the large doors slammed shut, Lavi spun around and ran towards Kanda with a large grin on his face.
"YUUUUU!" He yelled as he glomped Kanda. He hit the pavement, hard, and so did Lavi after Kanda tossed him off.
"What have I told you about calling me that?" Kanda growled
"Don't call you that right?" Lavi nervously chuckled.
"That's right. Now, what do you want."
"I just wanted to see who you got and all. Is this him? Whoa his hair is white! My person is boring! Isn't that right, person." Lavi rambled ruffling Allen's hair and talking to Toby.
"Stop referring to me as 'my person' or 'person'. Jesus, I've told you a million times my name is Toby." Toby lectured and Lavi stuck out his tongue.
"Don't you have someone else to annoy?" Kanda asked as Lavi continued to play with Allen's hair. Allen kept moving and telling him to leave but the simple-minded red-head was fascinated by the strange color of Allen's hair.
"Please, leave my hair alone." Allen pleaded as Lavi began braided his hair. Lavi ignored him and continued braiding, twirling and messing with his hair. Allen let out a sigh and allowed him to continue when he realized he wouldn't stop. Kanda pulled Lavi's hands away and flicked him in the forehead, that being the worst thing he could do to him without being thrown back in his cell. Though, the thump was enough to catch his attention and Lavi immediately began rubbing the red spot on his forehead.
"That hurt, Yuu!" Lavi whined.
"Don't call me that you idiot!" Kanda growled and Lavi snickered.
"Uh...Lavi? I wouldn't do that if I were you." Allen warned and Lavi smiled and waved off his advice.
"Me and Yuu here are best friends! He wouldn't hurt me!" Lavi smiled as he walked backwards in circles around Kanda.
"Since when are we friends, and I swear to god, call me that one more time."
"Oh Yuu! Don't deny it, we're best buds forever and all that!" Lavi said hugging Kanda who only rolled his eyes in reponse.
