`Daisya was one of the older kids who bullied Lavi in the past.

Chapter 23

`Lavi

Walking towards Kanda's home wasn't that long. It was just a few minutes walk from school, yeah just almost half an hour's walk from school.

It is half an hour's walk but we did ride the bus so naturally, it didn't take too much of our time or energy.

We removed our shoes before entering Kanda's house that is styled slightly in Japanese. The rest has a mixture of European and American. The house mostly contains artworks. I think that's due to Tiedoll-sensei.

"Did your old man paint this, Yuu-chan?"

"I said don't call me that, Baka Usagi!" he said while threatening me like the usual with his sword.

I raised my hands in surrender which somehow made him satisfied after giving out his usual, "Che," as he walked away towards his room.

He left us in the living room to wait while he changes into different clothes.

I leaned back on the couch after placing my bag on the floor. I already told Uncle Sheryl about my going to a friend's house so I needn't worry about telling him.

"Yuu's place is nice. I heard he has his own training room?"

"Yeah, Kanda has one at the back at the other side."

A doorbell was rung. Allen got up and answered it. He stepped back and let the other person come in.

"Oh, so the eye patch kid is here. I thought you already stopped being friends with the freak, Lenalee. Yet you're all gathered here. Your brother's going to be all worried when he knows."

"Daisya!"

"You hadn't changed at all. Still the same freak."

"Daisya, stop that!" said Lenalee.

"It's fine Lena-chan," I said while smiling. "I'm used to it. There's nothing new. He's just a bastard like the others. So how long does Yuu change? Do we need to wait longer?"

"I'm here, baka usagi. Stop calling me that," said an annoyed Yuu as he came to the living room.

Daisya suddenly laughed.

"Yuu-kun actually has friends and they are freaks like him. Are you gonna set up a circus or something? I heard Lenalee is good with gymnastics. I guess she'll be the tightrope walker. Yuu's the lion. The white haired kid's the clown and the eye patch kid is the one in charge of the lion."

"Keep your mouth shut, baka," said Yuu while threatening his own brother with the sword.

"Hey, Yuu. You aren't allowed to do that. You'll get into trouble."

"Che," he said while glaring.

I walked towards them.

"Yuu-chan, the bill for cleaning and bail is expensive. The rug here is real nice."

"Che. You keep your mouth shut too."

"That's so mean of you, Yuu-chan," I said teasingly.

"Don't call me that."

"Why, Yuu?"

"I said stop," he said while pointing the blade to me instead.

"What the hell? Both of you are just crazy," said Daisya.

"You're the annoying one, baka," I said while punching him in the gut. "You're still a bastard."

"Lavi!" said Lenalee in surprise. Both Allen and Kanda were surprised too by what I did. Kanda isn't that much obvious though but I noticed it.

Daisya fell down to his knees with arms holding the injured area.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that," I said while nervously smiling a fake one.

This is bad. I'll get into trouble.

I shouldn't have done that. I'll be causing trouble to them.

I really am a freak.

"Haha."

The laugh was mocking and short. It wasn't as surprising for the situation as was the fact that Kanda actually laughed?

Kanda laughed? Even if it was mocking and short, he laughed.

We all looked in surprise at him.

"Baka, you got what you deserved."

His usual expression was suddenly back but a smirk formed for a short while.

"That was a good punch, usagi."

"Thanks, Yuu."

The door opened after the key was turned.

"I'm home."

We looked at the person at the door in shock. He was as well.

"What's going on here? Why are you on the floor, Daisya? Why is everyone so serious?"

We all stared at each other in silence before someone spoke.

"Yuu brought his friends home and one of them actually hit me hard."

"Your fault, baka."

"Yuu-kun, don't call your brother an idiot even if he sometimes is."

"Hey!"

"So kindly explain to me in detail what happened?"

It took some time before everyone was heard but it finished on time before dinner.

Tiedoll-sensei was kind and understanding. He just told me not to do it again and let me off. He scolded Daisya instead for being rude to guests.

Daisya apologized although reluctant. I met Noise who is much kinder than the two.

Sensei asked us for dinner which we gladly accepted. His cooking tastes nice. Yuu still ate soba though even at home besides school.

We all laughed at that.

I'm greatful to Tiedoll-sensei. He's kind and considerate.

He didn't entirely place the blame on us. He listened to everyone's story before judging.

I'm really grateful 'cause if he didn't, I'd be bringing trouble to my family.
