Author's note: Hmm…I just thought this idea was funny and I'm pretty sure they had balloons back then.

Balloons

"You did this?" Kanda asked, his voice dark and deadly.

"Yup." Lavi said, his voice innocent and cheerful.

"Start running."

"As you wish."

Kanda flew down the hall after Lavi, Mugen drawn and blinded by such a bloodthirsty rage he had left his bedroom door wide open.

Miranda and Krory poked their heads around the corner at the noise Lavi and Kanda were making as they ran down the halls of the Order, yelling all the way.

"What's with them?" Krory asked.

"You don't think Kanda's going to kill Lavi, do you?" Miranda asked, she was practically trembling.

"He wouldn't do that!" Krory insisted, trying to calm Miranda down. "Hey…he left the door open…"

The two exorcists looked into Kanda's room for about five seconds before bursting into laughter. Krory decided to leave the door open for all those who wanted to see Lavi's way of apologizing to Kanda: covering every inch of his room in pink, red, and smiley-faced balloons. Placing flowers and cake on the desk where a lotus in an hourglass rested, and placing a banner across the bed's headboard that read: "Sorry."

Every exorcist, finder, or member of the science department who passed by had to stop and gawk. And it wasn't until after an hour of chasing Lavi that Kanda had remembered he hadn't closed the door. So dragging a captured Lavi back to his room Kanda frightened off every onlooker before shoving Lavi into his room and locking the door.
