Chapter 36

The red head opened his cell to receive a call from Maria. He had given his number to her the other day so contact would be easier.

"Hey junior, come to my office. I need you to do work for me. Your brother's not here so just hurry up and stop your yapping," said a familiar and hated voice. It was Cross shouting in his ear then the line was cut before he could even protest since he planned on going elsewhere.

He sighed before standing up to get clothes and a hat that will cover his eye-catching hair. He started wearing clothes that won't identify him when doing odd jobs for Cross since it would be really bad if anyone found out what he was doing.

"Where are you going, Lavi?" asked Road curiously. "Can I come?"

"I'm going to read books," he said knowing she won't come if it's anything related to that.

"Oh, I'll stay. What time will you go home? Can we play?"

"It'll probably late. See you then if you're still awake," said Lavi as he rushed outside the back door and into the streets. He acted inconspicuously as he headed to the office.

"You're late, brat," Cross shouted at him as soon as he entered.

"You didn't exactly told me what time," said Lavi back at him with irritation but did not showed it and acted the part like a child being scolded. He was even scratching his head like a child does in most situations.

"Cross, you need to do your work. I'll tell junior what he needs to do for us," said Maria while calmly taking over.

"Yeah, I'll do it," replied the older man with frustration.

"Good afternoon, junior. See those piles there," she said while pointing.

He nodded after looking in the direction.

"Organize everything into the drawers," she simply said then left the room.

"What?" he asked with confusion but was not heard. He gave a deep sigh before walking over to the piles and started thinking how will he organize everything within the day. He doesn't exactly know how he was supposed to organize it but with a mind like his, he figured out how they wanted it. He based it on how most are arranged and disregarded the ones which are misplaced. It took many hours of his time and luckily, he was able to finish with enough time for him to eat dinner at home.

The red head went back just in time to join them for dinner but he was so exhausted that Aunt Trish let him take his rest making him miss another dinner. He made sure to go to his room this time and locked the door. He really need to think of a way so things won't turn out like that again.

Tyki wondered what the Lavi was doing and decided to look into it. Uncle Sheryl was getting worried as well besides Aunt Trisha. Road also told him something very interesting about the time when Lavi left. She said that he wore a hat and clothes she didn't think he owned. He covered it underneath his clothes which was weird since it was very hot.

Something was going on and he will find out about it.

Summer break was over. School started once more. Road and Lavi were back at school. Tyki was back at his college. Nothing much changed for Sheryl and Trisha except for taking Road to school.

"Hey, Lavi! We're over here," said Allen who was waving his hand to Lavi who was by the gate.

"Hello Moyashi! Hello Yuu-chan!" Lavi said cheerfully as he walked towards the pair.

"Lavi, it's Allen!" said the white haired teen to the red head.

A grumpy Japanese removed the sword from his sheath.

"What did you say, Baka Usagi?" said Kanda threateningly with his glare and katana.

"Yuu-chan, won't you put that back? I thought you were forbidden to bring that to school," said Lavi while shrinking away.

"Why you-"

"That's right. Put that sword back into its sheath, Yuu-kun. Then give it to me," said Tiedoll-sensei who suddenly appeared.

Kanda glared at the man but did as said.

"That's a good boy, Yuu-kun. I'll be going then," said Tiedoll leaving with the katana in his hands.

Kanda glared harder at the people who looked.

"Same old Yuu-chan," said Lavi only to run off for his dear life with Kanda on his trail.

The bell rung making them stop and return to their seats. Fate really just decided to play with them and make them classmates and seatmates at the same time again.

Their homeroom teacher came and then after that a new teacher was introduced.

"He will be replacing Kevin Yeager who passed away."

"I am Fiidora, your new teacher for history."

Kanda didn't really pay attention to such details but the red head acted strangely. For a slight moment, his visible eye was opened wide with fear and shock. Others did not see due to the fast change but Kanda saw it. There was something about that teacher he was really irritated with. It doesn't involve with just Lavi's reaction. There was something disgusting as Kanda puts it that he hates about the man.

He does hate almost everyone but there was something else different.

Especially returning to the fact hardly anything would have earned such a reaction from the annoying red head.

`littlebunny1412: Thanks for reading. I know Bookman would have been the best teacher for history but sadly enough, he is no longer there. Sorry if it suddenly rushed back to school. Nothing much really happened there except the usual Lavi does work, errands and read with others being worried and Tyki trying to find out why.

Thanks to 'LuckyLover12', 'Rei-Fokkusu' and 'Monkey Girl 13624' for reviewing. I'm really grateful. ^_^
