A/N: I decided that I would update soon after each chapter is validated on Lunaescence so I can finish it before I start my freshman year at college. Thank you to anyone actually reading my story, ghost reader or otherwise. And thank you to kim-onka for the very helpful advice. I hope that the chapters will be more enjoyable for you as I continue on.

"The parfait at the café is amazing! You should really try one if you ever go there. And then, we went the park near the café. It was really nice and peaceful. Oh, and there's a fountain right in the center with those water sprouts that kids can play in! I dragged her over there and we both ended up soaking wet."

Lavi laughed loudly, taking in another breath before continuing his rant. Glee seemed to be radiating from him in waves. Well…even more than his cheerful demeanor usually gave off. The occasional twitch of Kanda's eye should have signaled Lavi that he was reaching his limits. Even if the boy had notice, he didn't show any signs of it and animatedly kept reciting every detail of his date. "Kasia was having so much fun! She's in a much better mood than when we left. Did I tell you about the playground yet? No? Well looked soooo cute going down the slide and-"

"COULD YOU JUST SHUT UP?" Kanda's bowl of soba trembled with a clink as he slammed his fist on the table, chopsticks still in his hand. "I don't care how your date was! It's not my problem that the naive girl is a cry baby. It's already enough that she's useless as an exorcist; she's causing even more problems now. Just leave me alone!"

Lavi's jaw hung open, seemingly blown away by Kanda's sudden outburst. It seemed the others residing in the room were also stunned; the whole cafeteria was dead silent. Kanda glanced around the room and took notice that Lavi and the other occupants of the room were not looking at him as he originally thought. Instead, they were looking at something, or rather someone, standing directly behind him.

'It must be Kasia. Why else would these idiots be gawking like this,' Kanda mused, turning to face the girl, expecting to see her pitiful and teary appearance. He wasn't prepared when he met with livid gray-blue eyes glaring directly into his.

"Useless huh? I'll have you know that I am just as good an exorcist as you, which can clearly be proven with the reports of my missions, thank you. I also have a MUCH more pleasant attitude than you. I am NOT a cry baby, as you so eloquently put it." Her voice got louder and more aggressive with each sentence. "And don't you DARE yell at Lavi like that! Unlike you, he can be chivalrous when he wants to and he's always there for me! Hell, he's more of a man than you'll ever be! So don't you even think of criticizing him! Fix your own damn problems!"

With that last shout, she slammed the tray of hot soup she was holding into his face. A shout escaped Kanda's lips as the scalding hot liquid came in contact with his skin; he immediately fumbled around for his napkin to wipe off his face.

"Dlaczego zakochałam się w tym sukinsynie?" [1] She had muttered as her heavy pants and footsteps got softer and distant, indicating her departure from the cafeteria.

"W-wait! Kasia! Wait for me," Lavi called out to her, rushing past Kanda as he opened his eyes.

Realizing that the room was still quiet and people were now looking at him, Kanda glared at the stunned bystanders before storming out of the cafeteria as well. "Damn it."
