-Chp. 2(Kanda's POV)-
I woke up to the feeling of warmth... but there was an unpleasent feeling also. I was sticky... and not to mentions sore...
Why was that?
Before I could even stop to understand, thoughts from yesterday and last night flooded through my mind. Blinking my eyes I looked up to see Lavi, messy hair and eypatch, watching me with a soft smile.
-Normal POV-
"Morning, how are you feeling?" Lavi asked Kanda, stroking his head affectionately between his ears. Kanda let him do so before remembering everything. He pulled back with slight shock, a soft pink blush covering his cheeks before he burried his face in Lavi's bare chest.
"I'm sorry..." Kanda mumbled into Lavi's chest, recalling how he had practically thrown himself on his best friend. More or less he had.
"For what, this?" Lavi asked, reffering to them. Kanda nodded weakly. "Oh Yu-chan... I wanted to do this as much as you." Lavi said with a laugh, pulling Kanda up to give him a kiss on the nose.
Kanda in turn made a face and licked him on the cheek, giving a small laugh when Lavi made a little face like he had. They snuggled for a little while longer until Kanda sat up, wincing in slight pain.
"We need to shower..." Kanda spoke with mock disgust while standing up and walking to the shower room in the Medical unit. He took the blanket with him, leaving Lavi bare and to follow him.
The shower was hot, cleaning away the mess on their bodies as well as relaxing all their sore muscles. Lavi stepped out before Kanda, leaving him to clean himself pivately. Kanda noticed the claw marks on Lavi's back and there was only one reason why they were there.
Lavi was aleady dried off and had a towel around his waste when Kanda decided to come out of the shower. Lavi helped to dry his hair before wrapping the towel around him like a women would wear it.
"Love you." Lavi said, giving Kanda a quick kiss on the cheek. Kanda just blushed and gave a glare. But it softened when he shivered.
"Che, we need to go get dressed before I freeze." Kanda said as a shiver ran through his body. Lavi agreed and they snuck back to their own rooms, not seen by anyone.
They had agreed to meet in the cafeteria after they got dressed to have breakfast. Lavi had gotten their first, wearing his usual white pants and a blue long sleeve shirt, his hammer strapped to his leg.
Kanda was less excited to be in public with his ears and tail, but he was happy that Lavi picked a spot back in the corner so they wouldn't be seen as easily. Kanda had decided to leave his hair down, wearing a loose fitting, but warm, white shirt and black pants.
Kanda's ears were flattened to his head when he walked into the cafeteria, blocking out the loud noise as he made his way over to Lavi who already had food waiting for him. He snuggled inbetween Lavi and the wall, protected from others peoples piercing eyes.
"I just got a bunch of different foods, hoping you'd like and try some of them." Lavi said while pointing to the various items on all the plates.
Kanda looked at them all, eyes drawn towards a fish shaped cookie-like food. Curious he picked it up an examined in. "What is it?" he asked Lavi, hoping the red head knew. Kanda wanted to try it but for fear of it tasting bad he had to ask.
"It's good, I'd try it. It's full of raspberry jelly that's cooked in it. Sounds weird but I have a feeling you'll like it." Lavi said with a grin, eating a simple piece of toast.
Neither of the boys noticed Lenalee and Allen walking up to them.
Kanda took a small bite out of it and recoiled, sharpy swallowing. "Don't like it?" Lavi asked, watching Kanda's reactions. He couldn't help but think they were cute. Kanda shook his head, still holding the fish shaped food.
"Too hot." Kanda finally said after getting over the pain his tongue recieved. Lavi laughed and took it away from Kanda, recieving a sound of protest. Lavi blew on the uncovered portion to cool it down before holding it out to Kanda. Kanda leaned in and took a bite, smiling and giving Lavi a peck on the cheek and taking it away and eating more of it.
"Aw, that's to cute!" Lenalee exclained, blowing her's and Allen's cover. Lavi and Kanda dead panned, looking up at the two. Lavi was blushing and trying to stutter out words while Kanda drew his ears back and growled, his famous glare in place.
"Lenalee, Moyashi... how much did you see?" Kanda bit out, fighting down a blush of his own. Allen was staring at food and not paying attention, so he had witnessed nothing. Lenalee on the other hand had a tell tale look on her face.
"Sorry Kanda, but I won't say anything." Lenalee apologized, taking a seat and making Allen do the same. Allen finally snapped back to it.
"It's Allen, BaKanda!" Allen shouted at the raven haired male. Before Kanda could shout something back and jump over the table to maul Allen, the teen was already laying on the floor holding his cheek from being punched. Lavi stood across from Allen and was retracting his arm from punching him.
The cafeteria fell silent, everyone watching the scene the group was causing. Allen sat up and looked at Lavi, a shocked look on his face. Lenalee's matched his.
"His name is Kanda, Moyashi." Lavi said while sitting back down next to Kanda, who nearly dropped the food he was holding.
-Kanda's POV-
I nearly dropped my jelly filled fish, seeing what Lavi had just done. Sure, I would have done the same, but this was Lavi we're talking about. I couldn't feel anything but the strong need to kiss Lavi that instant, not caring who saw it.
I reached up and tugged on his sleeve making him turn to me. Too late to stop, I lifted myself up the little ways so I was his height before capturing his lips softly. I smiled when he pushed back against me.
Pulling away with a blush, I went back to eating, ignoring everyone else. I hid a smile when Lavi slipped his arm around my waste.
I wasn't sure why I was acting like this... it bothered me some as it was the opposite of how I normally acted. It had to be another thing about the Akuma's poison or whatever we wanted to call it.
-Lavi's POV-
I was shocked when Kanda kissed me, but I wasn't one to object to him. His blush was one of my favorite things to see, and as long as no one said anything stupid, I'd act like this all the time with Kanda.
-Normal POV-
"That was so cute!" Lenalee shouted out, breaking the silence. Kanda hunched lower, wanting to be hidden from the world.
"Lenalee!" Allen objcted, appalled that she went along with it.
"Kanda would have done worse to you, so consider yourself lucky." Lenalee told the teen, effectively shutting him up for the time being. Allen just grumbled and walked off, not hungry for once.
"Sorry about that Lenalee... I guess I'm just a bit over protective?" Lavi offered sheepishly, not used to the whole relationship thing. Kanda nodded in agreement, still eating.
"It's fine, I think it's sweet of you to protect Kanda. Komui wants to see you two right away though, so I'll walk you there when you're done eating." Lenalee said with her constant smile. Kanda quickly finished eating his food, appetite leaving him. Lavi did the same and soon they were on there way to Komui's office.
-Kanda's POV-
Walking next to Lavi I started feeling a bit dizzy, my vision blurring slightly as my blood surged in by head. Gripping onto Lavi's arm to steady myself, he gave me a confused look.
"You okay Yu?' Lavi asked quietly so that Lenalee wouldn't hear us. I shook my head slightly, gripping onto him tighter as a wave of pain coursed through my abdomen.
"What's wrong with me...?" I thought to myself as I clutched onto Lavi. Lenalee had noticed our pause and darted over to Lavi and I. By now I was on my knees, my hands over my mouth willing away the urge to throw up. My breath was coming in gasps at the sudden onslaught of pain and nausea, I had never expected it.
My other arm was wrapped around my stomach, applying pressure on the pain to see if it would leave. Nothing seemed to be helping, I know Lenalee had run off to get help but I barely knew Lavi was there.
A coughing fit took over, wracking my body with tremors and lurches. I could taste iron and noticed the blood on my hand and the spots on the floor. It wasn't much, but enough for me to worry. That akuma did a number on me and I couldn't help but know it wasn't the end of things.
"Kanda!" Lavi shouted at me, and I had a feeling he had been trying to get through to me for a while. The coughing subsided but the pain stayed and I rolled over and lay back to see Lavi, who placed my head in his lap.
"La...vi..." I whispered out, not wanting to worry him, but it was to late for that. His eye harbored tears and sadness. I reached my clean hand up and he clasped it tightly in his. "I... l-love y-you..." I whispered out to him, wanting him to hear that from me if anything was going to happen to me.
"Shut up..." I was shocked to hear that, but I understood what he meant. "You're going to be fine Yu... but..." Lavi's tears slipped, how badly I wanted to wipe them away. "I love you too much to let anything happen." Lavi said with his small, forced smile.
The last thing I recal was being picked up and rushed away, most likely to get help. I remember hearing the shouting voices of Lenalee, Komui, Lavi, and even Allen.
-Lavi's POV-
Kanda had been rushed into the medical wing once again, Lenalee, Komui, and Allen staying by my side through it. I never wanted anything to happen to Kanda...
"Lavi!" Lenalee snapped me back from my thoughts and I looked up at her and Komui. Allen stayed seated by me, there for moral support I suppose.
"It's about Kanda." Komui spoke, adjusting his glasses before continuing. "We still do not know what he was injected with, but we do know it won't kill him." Those words alone nearly made me cry out of relief. "What just happened is only going to be a one time thing because Kanda, normally quick to heal, has some broken ribs."
"He didn't heal?" I exclaimed, more like "He didn't tell us?"
"No, I'm assuming it's also another one of the effects. We've run more tests and will get the results at the end of the week. But until then I was hoping you, Kanda, Lenalee, and Allen would like to go on a Mission?" Komui asked hopfully, and I just looked at him before shaking my head. By the time we would get back from the mission, the results would be back.
"Knowing Yu-chan he'll be fine when he wakes up... I suppose." I said, knowing I really couldn't get out of it. Komui nodded and walked off, going to deal with the many other things happening in the Order.
"You sure Lavi, Kanda really didn't look so good..." Lenalee tried to get me to change my mind, but I shook my head. She always worried to much.
"I still have to go either way and I'm not leaving him alone, he comes with us." I said, reasuring her. She gave an understanding nod before moving to sit down.
"We leave at dusk, we won't arrive till the day after tomorrow. We're supposed to find and eliminate a few troublesome Akuma. There has been reports of unknown murders happening, so there is most likely more behind it." Allen said with a sigh, hating the fact that things wouldn't go as quick as he wanted.
Lenalee gave him a small pat on the back before we were all startled by a loud scream in Kanda's room. I was the first one there and running over to Kanda's side. Lenalee and Allen were in after me.
"Damn, he can sure move quick when he wants to." Allen said to Lenalee, who was equally shocked. I was gone in a heartbeat to them.
-Normal POV-
Lavi pulled Kanda to him to calm him down from what he was having a fit about. That was when he realized it. Kanda had more of a womens figure, even more so that before. The curves were more prominent and his hips had widened, if he was in the right clothing anyone would think he was a flat chested women.
"I swear to god I am bring that Akuma back from the dead and killing it with my bear hands!" Kanda screamed out, angry beyond reason. Lavi was laughing inside, but rationality took over.
"Calm down!" Lavi shouted slightly forceful, so Kanda would hear him. He regretted it as Kanda turned to look at him. The loud shout from Lavi had startled him and he turned to face him with a quivering lip. Tears forming in his eyes, emotions running wild.
"She... it..." Kanda managed before throwing himself at Lavi and taking them to the floor. Lavi wrapped his arms around the smaller waste and hugged Kanda. He was crying and gripping onto Lavi.
"It's okay..." Lavi shushed him, sitting up to place Kanda in his lap, carefull to keep a hold on Kanda's body so he wouldn't fall. "Komui is giving us a mission Yu-chan. You want to come with Lenalee, Allen, and I?" Lavi asked soothingly, watching Kanda wipe his eyes and give a small nod. He was so unlike himself, and Lavi felt sad that he couldn't help him as much as he wanted to.
"Lavi's right, everything is going to be fine." Lenalee asked so calm it seemed like she had done it before. She was almost jealous of Kanda's body now, she was even that curvy.
"Then let's go." Allen said while standing up and ajusting his jacket. They already had all their packs and supplies. The others followed him until Lavi remembered something.
"You guys go on, I'll catch up." Lavi said quickly while running off in the direction of his room. Kanda just shook his head and carried on with Lenalee and Allen.
"So, Kanda, how do you feel about Lavi?" Allen asked the asian. Kanda was caught off gaurd and almost tripped, losing his balance.
"Allen!" Lenalee shouted, but the smile on her lips showed she didn't mind that much. Kanda stared up at the two of them.
"Che, as if you already don't know." Kanda said while crossing his arms over his chest and looking away from them. Laughter filled the hallway and Lavi was soon back by there sides, running in front of Kanda to stop him.
Lavi bent down and tied his white scarf, which he got from his room, on Kanda's head like a headband, securing the ears down. Kanda flushed slightly and held his arms out for a hug but was pulled up, and, miraculously placed onto Lavi piggy-back style. He would never know how Lavi did it.
"Baka-Usagi!" Kanda yelped, tightening his legs slightly and gripping around Lavi's neck with his arms. Lavi chuckled and held onto Kanda's legs to support him.
"I've always wanted to do this, so just be quiet and relax." Lavi said with a smile, feeling Kanda rest his head on Lavi's shoulder and loosen his grip slightly.
The group of four left the order at sunset, heading off on their mission.
- Break -
They were on feet, traveling through the night and into the day. They took minor breaks, pushing through exhaustion and fatigue. They had been pushed harder, now was only a test of their strength.
The sun was just begining to set when they had arrived in the small town. It wasn't like the last, but it was more of a community, a village. They were put up in a small home, only having two beds and a couch to sleep on.
"I call bed!" Lenalee shouted tiredly while throwing her bag down on it before taking a seat and slippin her shoes off. Kanda bounded over Lavi's shoulders and onto the bed, resting on a pillow.
"Kanda and I have this one." Lavi said with a laugh, watching Kanda fall asleep almost immediately. They were all exhausted.
"I have the couch..." Allen muttered, none to happy about eveything.
"Sorry Allen, but you'll be fine. Now we should all get some rest." Lenalee said with a smile before crawling under the blankets and closing her eyes.
- Two Days Later -
It was their last day, and there had been no traces of Akuma anywhere. They were getting bored, but stayed on their guard none the less.
They were split up. Kanda took watch on the north side of the small town by the lake. Lenalee and Lavi were on the east and west near all the woodland. Allen was at the south, watching over the small farmland the village had.
Kanda was resting on a tree back a fw feet up from the ground, Mugen on his lap. He was mainly napping lightly, being woken at any noise loud enough to be suspicious. Hearing a branch snap, his eyes flittered open and he looked up to see a high level akuma ready to attack.
Hopping from the branch, he just avoided getting hit by one of the akuma's attacks. Mugen was drawn and reflected the light brightly.
"Man, and I thought I was going to kill you while you slept. You exorsists are starting to get lazy." the akuma spoke while glaring at Kanda, it's claws at the ready. It suddenly laughed, and Kanda was about to ask why when he was hit from behind, being pushed into the others akumas attack.
That earned him to long gashes, one across his back and the other along his torso. His torso was now bare, his jacket being torn, except the bandages stayed on making it appear that he was a women. Blood poured freely from both of the wounds, giving the air a metalic-iron smell.
Lavi's scarf was now around Kanda's neck, exposin his ears as his tail already had been. The akuma stayed on either side of him now, chuckling as he picked himself up off the ground.
"Che, that was an unfair shot." Kanda growled out, more angry about being caught off guard than getting hurt. He went for the one who had first tried to attack him and slashed out, spinning to hit the others one who came in from behind before jumping up and letting the akuma smash into each others.
A dull throbbing had started in his stomach, ears, and tail, and he knew it wasn't from the wounds he had just recieved. Feeling a wave of dizziness strick him, he leaned on a tree for support. The others were already on their way, the raket he had caused signalled them.
Blocking the next few attacks, Kanda couldn't bare the trobbing and dizziness much longer. His vision was already starting to blur. "Shit..." he thought to himself after blocking another attack before his vision went dark. He was concious enough the hear a shout before he hit the ground, a pain envelopin his whole body and leaving him blank from the world, but concious enough to feel the agony.
-Lavi's POV-
"Kanda!" I screamed out, watching him fall to his knees. "Not again..." I though as I attacked the akuma with my hammer, taking one of them out in all my anger. Allen and Lenalee were already taking care of the other one. I couldn't help but join in, finishing it quickly.
Kanda was my top priority at the time, and I couldn't have been quicker. My hammer was already away and I was by his side, checking on him. I could tell he was in pain and a lot of it. Kanda was gripping around his stomach tightly, the bleeding from his wounds already stopped. He couldn't hear me, and I doubt he could even tell I was there.
"What's wrong with him?" Lenalee asked me, an expression of fear on her face. I knew his wounds couldn't have caused this, and I could only think the worst, that was until I realized something. The effects of the dart had to be wearing out, as Kanda's tail was gone, yet his ears still remained. At least for now I hoped.
"The darts effects are wearing off, causing him to feel this much pain." I answered her question, removing my jacket and placing it around Kanda before picking him up bridal style. He snugled into me, still not being able to vocally respond.
"I suppose that's half good, seeing how much pain he is in." Allen said, relieved that nothing else was going on. Kanda had soon enough passed out in my arms as we were walking back to the house to pack our things. We were going to be going back by train, saving us the exhaustion from walking.
I could tell Lenalee was watching me closely, making sure Kanda was all right and that I was fine. She worried to much sometimes, but I suppose one of us had to. Personally, I kept a cool face on the mask the fear and panic I was really feeling.
Everything seemed to blur together afterwards. We had gotten everything we needed and had borded the train and were on out way back to the order. Kanda was asleep next to me, my jacket buttoned around him and hooded so he would stay warm. I drifted asleep, resting my head next to Kanda's, silently praying that he would be all right in the end.
-Chapter End-
Okay, so I am making a chapter 3, I have already started so it should hopefully be out by the end of the week. At the latest the middle of next week. Writers blocks sucks... so I think this chapter sucks.
But, anywho, I still Hope you enjoyed :)
