"That demon is up to something."
He ate in peace, almost in tranquility. The sound in the dining hall, the only source of indication that he wasn't alone. Lifting the fork up, Allen watch the golden sirup drip down the piece of waffle. Closing his eyes, he savior the sweetness of the cake before it was gone.
Several minutes later, the half-breed found himself gazing around the large dining area. Allen didn't want to admit it, but where was Kanda? By this time the older demon would be already seating in front of him, with his usual I'm-hating-you-and-everyone-in-this-fucking-buildi ng face.
Is he still meditating? The half human wonder, light charcoal eyes stayed still by the entrance of the dining room. He wasn't waiting for Kanda or anything, but it was unusual for the dark-haired demon to not be at the table by now. Allen was so used to having his mornings begin with the presence of the devil, that without it, the young halfling realize it made him feel unease.
"Hey, there sexy."
Coming directly at his table was Lavi. The redhead already dressed in his school uniform sat down right next to him, like every other morning. Instantly, Allen got surrounded by the vampire's body heat as he got hugged. The young half demon slightly stiff, all the while his eyes looking forward for any type of interruption.
"Lavi?"
"You smell so good," Allen felt a hot breath against his neck and he patted the red-haired male's side all the while backing from the creature. He jolted away from Lavi, holding the side of his neck after he felt fangs scrapping his skin.
"What– don't you do that!"
Licking his lips, Lavi only smiled. "You tasted as good as you smell."
Rubbing his neck for the last time, the white-haired demon put some space between them. He always took Lavi's man-crush lightly, but this time the vampire went a little to far. Ignoring the redhead's advances wasn't wise, now not only does he have to worry about one inhuman creature, but two.
"Hey."
Allen glanced at the other, already forgetting about what just happened. "What?"
"Where's Kanda?"
He frown and stared at the empty seat before him. The full-blooded demon is yet to appear. Oddly, most of the time Kanda would materialize out of nowhere whenever Lavi was around. The vampire's question was the same one swimming in his head, where was Kanda?
"I don't know, I'm not his sitter you know." He reply indifferently and turn to eat the remaining food on his plate. Sooner or later, the demon will make his appearance.
Lavi hummed to himself, scooting closer to the now lone half-breed. "Well that's just strange. Every morning he's here ready to rip off my head for just looking at you."
Allen huffed and stabbed the poor waffle with the fork. "You make it sound as if Kanda and I have something going on."
"You guys don't?"
"No, why would we?"
Lavi just shrugged a shoulder and began to eat his very weird-looking breakfast. "Well, I have seen the two of you kiss–"
"I'll stop you right there. We don't kiss alright."
"Then what do you call two people being in each others face with lip on lip contact? Talking?"
He glared at the sneaky vampire, so Lavi has been spying on them huh? He wasn't he surprise. "We don't kiss, what Kanda's doing is leeching off me like the incubus that he is."
The redhead stopped sipping the red liquid and blinked his eyes. He leaned closer to Allen, lifting a fine brow. "Leeching off you?"
Allen have a small sigh, he had not option but to explain. "Whenever he touches me in any way, he absorbs my energy to feed himself. He can't hunt down human souls like he used to the moment he and I became linked. So I'm his only source of let's say, food."
And I'm hating it.
"Wow, tough and I thought he liked you or something."
"No, he's a demon, they don't have feelings."
Lavi nodded, even when he didn't really agreed with the half-breed. Every living, breathing thing had some sort of feelings, that included demons. They stayed quiet as Lavi consumed his dietary supplement. Kanda wasn't the only one who had it rough. Lavi was not allowed fresh blood, he's stuck drinking this disgusting stuff the Organization created. It's supposed to replace real blood, but it was simply torturous. It wasn't near as good as the real stuff, yes it was red but it didn't taste anything like blood.
I'll rather suck on a rock, than this shit.
"So the question remains, where is our dark lord?" Lavi began to talk again, distracting himself enough to finish his meal.
"In his room I guess, where else?"
Lavi's single eye twitched at the taste of the almost gooey liquid filling his mouth. He felt a shudder ran down his spine. "Maybe... he went out."
"He can't remember, unless it's for an assignment, and so far there hasn't been any for us."
"Ah, I almost forgot, you're his ticket to freedom." He grinned when Allen made a face. The half demon was just too attractive for his own good, specially when Lavi wanted nothing more than to sink his fangs into that oh-so-good-looking neck. He can only dream about it, Allen's blood would be nirvana to his taste buds.
"You're drooling."
"And you have horns!"
Allen reached up and touched his forehead, and as Lavi said there were small pointing tips sprouting from his skin. Not know anything about Kanda was nagging him. The halfling concentrated and the small horns were gone.
Shaking his head, the vampire wiped the side of his mouth. Well, that was embarrassing. "Sorry, but really where is that demon?"
He once again found himself looking at the other side of the table. Kanda's whereabouts is not only affected him, but worrying the half-breed somewhat. Was the older demon in his room as Allen presumed? He must, Kanda didn't like to socialize with anyone in the Organization; everyone knew that. The unease in his stomach only doubled.
"That demon is up to something."
For the six years of seven that Allen has known the demon, Kanda never fails to appear in the mornings. Ever since the devil arrived – well except for the first year – he has always been present to make Allen's mornings unforgettable. Now, as he sat there with Lavi, Allen almost felt wrong. Why was Kanda's absent disturbing him all of a sudden?
Several years ago, Allen wouldn't have worried over someone else, but himself. The moment he took the last mission seven years ago, everything changed. If he hadn't accepted that assignment, he would most likely be demon-free right now. That wasn't the case thought, he went on the mission and now he was bonded to a powerful and full-blooded demon.
Allen still remembers the day, how can he forget? The halfling had thought the assignment rather easy, and yet it turn into a complete nightmare.
He got sent not to far from the Organization, just on the coast of Japan. There was a report of missing people, and the strangest thing about it, the missing people turned up a few days later after their suppose disappearance. They were found, but they were dead. Floating or washing up on the beach.
The Organization realized that a couple of mermaids and merman' had gone rogue. The sea creatures wanted to mate with humans, which was totally out of their nature. They had seduced all those missing people, and of course they all had died within minutes.
Allen was to fix the problem, he could hold his breathing under water much longer than most people and beings who resided in the Organization. During the mission, something's didn't go as planted, and soon the half-breed found himself showered by the sea creature's attention.
They wanted to mate with him.
He won't deny the fact of being scared for once, not only were the mermaids after him, but the male counterpart wanted a piece of him too. Allen managed to kill a few of them, but the surviving ones were on him like moths to light. Running away from the sea creature's was tough, they moved with an incredible speed, while the halfling had trouble. Fighting to kill them, Allen got injured, speared below his ribcage, left leg and hand. He swam for his life, until he had found an underwater cave.
The cave, that had led him to the demon.
Injured, bloody and weak, Allen managed to break through the surface and crawled his way out of the water and lay down on the cold cave. The green-neon glowing stick brightening the cave as the rest of the half human creatures soon appeared. They were angry, but Allen saw their desire as well, and long after they began to sing, wanting Allen back in the water. He didn't much care and throw a grenade in the water as a last option, killing the rest of them once and for good.
The explosion had shaken the cave, the half-breed tried to find shelter from the falling rocks and did the mistake of not seeing where his bloody wounded hand touched. He had unintentionally opened a seal, awakening a creature who's been sleeping for centuries.
All he saw was how his hand became wrapped by a type of vines before he quickly managed to free himself, and Allen watched mesmerized as his blood disappeared from the vine things on the wall. An eerie silent fell in the cave after it stopped shaking, before everything went down hill. The cocoon thing began to move, then it got torn up and from within. Allen only saw bright crimson eyes and a loud growl fallow right after.
The moment Allen had unconsciously freed the creature, the demon attacked him and fed from him viciously. He really thought he was going to die but no, instead an unwanted blood bond was created. After the evil spirit had taken is fill, Allen hazily watched it for all he was, the halfling saw the demon's true form for the fist time, then everything went dark.
He somehow returned to the Organization much later than originally thought, and as he got closer to the building, he found the demon again but this time it looked human. Upon sensing the strong demon, people from the underworld Organization quickly mobilized. They were ready to kill the demon, Allen didn't know much of what happened as he collapsed. But, he wasn't the only one, the devil now linked to him fell as well. He wasn't powerful on his own anymore.
The first year of them being bonded it was very hostile, from the demon side. The creature despised him with unhidden gestures. Allen had control over him – to a certain point – and he didn't seem to happy about it. But something happened just as the second year neared, the devil began to approach him, and the half-breed at last learned the demon's name.
"Kanda."
Simple as that.
By the third year and after Allen pleaded Kanda's case, the Organization let the full-blooded demon partner up with Allen on missions. They both learned that being linked together meant they couldn't be away from each other for more than two days, before the bond would react somewhat painful for both. The bond wasn't stable enough and until they fulfill it – or one of them died – they would always feel the need of the others presence. It was more enforce on the older demon's part, for Kanda had taken Allen's blood. And ever since, he's been stuck with his living burden.
To this day, the white-haired male doesn't even know how was that even possible, for two beings to create a bond when they didn't even know the other existed. It wasn't just a typical blood bond, Allen knew it ran deeper than that. All those years of ready told him that the bond he shared with the demon had a meaning, blood wasn't the only thing holding them together but something else. He has the suspicion that Kanda knows more about their linking than he let on, but the devil won't tell him anything.
Life sucks.
"I'll get ready, see you down stairs."
"Sure thing," Lavi only watched the young halfling go.

The two sat in class, waiting for lessons to begin. At first, when Lavi had told him the brilliant idea of going to school, Allen had thought it a good excuse to get away from the Organization and Kanda, but what the half-breed didn't expect was for the vampire to convince the higher-ups to let them attend a private academy.
He wasn't to fond of the thought of private school. Allen would have preferred a public one, but Lavi did like fancies in his life– as if he hadn't had enough throughout his life time. He only sat there looking out the window, as Lavi talked about the many things that might happened to the demon who didn't showed up as they departed for the academy. The two left the Organization without a clue on where Kanda was.
Allen would rather die than to enter the demon's layer, known as Kanda's chambers. The demon did warn him, that if Allen ever enter the room, he might never come out. Kanda wasn't talking about beating or killing him, no the devil made it pretty clear what will happen to Allen if he got brave enough and enter his room.
As if I would enter.
The soft announcing bell went off, and everyone in the room began to settle in their seats. Everyone in the room were rich, and spoil children. All humans, minus two. In the academy there were a few beings of the supernatural, but as long as there's no trouble, no one was rating anyone out. The commotion if the knowledge of strange creatures in the academy, would result in chaos.
"Good morning class." Their instructor finally arrived and Allen looked forward. Speaking of the supernatural, here comes professor Yeggar. To everyone he looked like an older gentleman– the grandfather figure, but Lavi and Allen knew who he was. The man was a great sorcerer. He used to work for the underworld Organization before he left some years back, and became an instructor in the academy.
"He looks just about the same, don't you think Allen?"
He nodded his agreement, and listed to the man speak before he got distracted by Lavi yet again. He still wonder why the redhead bother to attend school again, when he basically know everything. Boredom mostly, Allen came along to have some time to breath without having Kanda looming over him, like the burden he was.
"–and so today we begin with something new."
"Wonder what he'll teach us today," Lavi went on, as Allen gave his full attention to the redhead.
"Pray, that it isn't something boring."
Allen lay his head on the desk and was all ears to Lavi, who spoke about the many times he's already repeated somethings from history – or other subjects – for the hundred time. "You should either stop your complain or drop out." Allen mumbled making Lavi halt all conversation.
"–everyone be nice and welcome our new student, Kanda Yuu."
Very slowly, Allen lifted his head from the table, staring at Lavi's face throughout the entire way. At the same time, the two looked ahead, and they were beyond socked to see the devil. Kanda stood there, looking dead on at the two wide-eyed men with a sadistic smile. The long-haired demon dressed in the same uniform as all the boys, but with Kanda the wardrobe wasn't in the least proper. Tie loosen, jacket open, a few buttons undone and the shirt tucked out from his slacks. While everyone in the room stared in a sick fascination, Allen felt like fainting.
This really isn't happening... is it?
