Meena only ate with her own manner. But her manner looked so cliché when you look at her side. She just giggled because 'the scene'.
Allen just inhaled the food beside her. She kept giggling because it reminds her about her past. But now, she was a girl and she didn't want to ruin her reputation. She took her third bowl. It was a steamy soup from Jerry. Allen just finished his dangos anyway.
"Hey Lavi! Wow! What's with that face?" said Meena with curious and widened eyes. Lavi just knocked his head on the table. Meena just moved some of her bowls because maybe he needs more space to do it again.
"Hidoi na… Meena-chan…" said Lavi. *hidoi: how cruel*
"I'm kind because I gave you some space to do your head-crushing-on-table activity," said Meena with sulking expression.
"Is that because that?"
"What? What is that?"
Now Allen joined the conversation. Lavi wanted to open his mouth but Meena took her left shoe. Lavi just cowered in the dark side of canteen. Allen felt a little understanding and he resumed his meals.
"Anyway, thanks for the night."
"Everyone who comes here always have that. I have that one when I was a newcomer in here."
"So, how's the party last night?"
Now a girl named Lenalee joined them and placed her tray in front of Meena. She took a seat in front of Meena. meena recalled about the welcoming party.
'An exhausted Meena walked towards Komui's office to give her report. Lavi and Garry just 'spirited away' and gave everything to Meena. They said they had to make something and it was important just like their lifeline. Meena gave her report and walked toward her room but Allen dragged her to cafeteria. And the first thing she sees was a banner with a 'welcome, Meena'. She gasped and smiled cheerfully.'
"I love the decoration. And I love the meals and snacks. God, Jerry is really good at cooking. He knows about Asian foods. I'm glad-"
Her eyes flew towards Lavi who took a seat beside Lenalee. Meena got darker (again).
"Hey, I'm sorry. I just… tripped and…."
"Took a nice angle under my feet?!"
"Meena wa kuroi! Help me! Please Allen! Lenalee!"
Lavi tried to hide behind Lenalee when Meena rose on her feet. But Meena walked towards the locked with her soup bowl(s). Lavi just raised his eyebrows.
"Are?"
"Good Lavi. You made her cry," said Allen (still digging in his foods). Lenalee gave him an angry look and Lavi just shook his head.
"What. What was that?"
"What's What?! You pissed her off. Now she just is sulking in her room."
"Meena! Wait for me!" said Lenalee when she ran towards Meena. But Meena's ability was made her to become the fastest runner in HQ.
Lavi still speechless.
"You must ask for her apology. She is a girl and you embarrassed her with something that… vulgar towards her."
"It was a joke."
"But she can't stand something like that. She is not an ordinary girl who you can find in the street anyway."
"Wow! It's cruel,Moyashi!"
"Allen desu!"
.
.

Lavi tried to locate Meena's room. He felt a little guilt towards her. It just a joke but he knew that Meena was a newbie and he didn't know many about her axcept she came from Asian branch some days ago.
He looked at the door and made sure that the door was same like Komui's description (he asked Komui about her room some minutes ago). And surprisingly, it was beside Kanda's door.
Knock knock….
"Meena? are in there? Please answer me…."
No anwer. Just a silence….
"Meena? please… would you open the door pleaaaaseeee…. I'm sorrryyyy I'm really sorry about the accident. i don't know about…. Jeezzzz… it just a joke and and…"
"Would you just shut up your mouth? It's still 8 in the morning and you keep blabbering around…"
Now the person's next door gave his 'answer'.
"Hi there,Yuu-chan. Can you help me?"
"Why am I must to help you? Rabbit?"
"I made a mistake and…. Can you help me? Meena is angry because me… Meenaa…. Just please open the doorrrr… I'm sorry…. I'm really sorry about that…. Meenaaaa…. Wahhhhhh I'm sorry….."
Kanda raised his left eyebrow. The last thing knew that some minutes ago a girl called Meena who own the room beside him was out and no one in there. But it's not his business anyway.
But the sound of Rabbit's wailing was the matters in here!
He couldn't sleep after his exhausted mission. And what was that rabbit doing until he made that girl angry? The only thing he knows was Meena is a mood-changed-easily type. She will angry and the next minutes she will happy-go-lucky again. Maybe Lavy pushed her button….
"Meena-chan…! Wahhh!"
"Oi Lavi,"
"Meena! Please open the door! I will anything to make you forgive me!"
"She's-"
"Just please forgive meee!"
"Thank you very much Johny! And Reveer too!"
"No problem Meena! you can get it in 3 days anyway!"
"Wow! So fast!"
Two heads turned towards the sounds…..
Meena waved her right hand toward Johny and Reever. She felt a sudden strange feeling toward her back. Now, two dark eyes and one jade eye were looking at her with different reaction. The darks were still with stoic expression. But the jade was looking at her with disbelief.
"Uhm… domo," said Meena ackwardly. There were two men outside her room and she couldn't take some prediction about what was happening before she came here. *domo: hello or thanks. But in here means hello*
"Meena-chan!"
Lavi ran towards her with openly arms. She took a few steps back and used her martial art to lock his movement painfully. Lavi struggled in her arms. Meena sighed and looked towards Kanda just to find the explanation. But no answers come from his mouth.
'Silent as always.'
"Just do your business on other place. You disturb the others."
"What? Business?"
She looked at Lavi and Kanda one on another. But she rose from her (tangled) sitting position and stopped Kanda's door.
Another death glares….
"Um…. Komui asked you to come in his office. I think it's about you next mission," said Meena shyly. Kanda nodded and closed his door.
Now, it's time for Lavi…
"What are you doing in front of my door? And about the tears….."
"Please, give me your apology! I'm sorry!" said Lavi with his crocodile tears. Meena shook her head.
"Um, it's okay. I think it's also my fault. I'm just too silly bout it and I…."
One jade eye looked her with undeniable hope.
"I forgive you anyway."
"Really! Huwa….. Meena-chan wa yasashi desu ne!" *yasashi: kind*.
"Ma…ma… Lavi… just don't sit on the floor. I have forgiven you now so you can stand and don't watering my skirt! Please Lavi! I have another mission!"
"Mission? You came back last night and you have another mission?"
"Yup."
"You should have a lot of energies huh?"
"yup. I'm parasitic after all. And I can heal myself. So don't worry about me. It's just a solo mission. In Asian branch, I usually took solo mission. So, don't worry! Hey Kanda! Would you wait for me in the underground tunnel? We have same route anyway…"
Lavi pouted when Meena's attention flew toward Kanda. He rose and stood beside Meena. kanda only glared and walked off. Meena just lowered her shoulders.
"I think I will get going by myself. Now Lavi, would you mind to help me?"
Lavi nodded.
.
.
.
"Be carefull!"
"Okay! Thanks! Ittekimasu!"
"Itterassai!"
Meena ran toward the underground tunnel. She smiled when she looked at the taller one who waiting for her.
"I thought you were gone by yourself. But thanks for waiting!"
"Hn."
Meena stepped (jumped) toward the boat. It made a little unbalanced but the finder just balanced it silently. She arranged her skirt and Kanda just rolled his eyes. And suddenly, he walked and took a seat after Meena. Meena looked back to make sure and she just shook her head.
She pulled her knees together but she kept changing her sit position. She just couldn't find the topic to discuss because, man! She hates silence!
"So, where's your mission takes place?"
"Belgium."
"Hmph! Solo?"
"Hn."
There no place to look at. Everything were a wall, if you look down you will find water. And there was no option to look at someone in front of her. She took some mental 'bravery' and watched him. Kanda is Kanda, he just looked at the other way. She used that chance to 'study' him.
"What?!"
Now he snapped…..
"Just wait a minute…."
"Che!"
'Hey 'Suke,I know this is hard to take but….do you know that I have this nagging feeling?'
'I know… you mean about that knocks at the outside?'
'I just….. I just…'
'It's okay. Mom said that one of our neighbors made an appointment yesterday. So, I think she will teach some people about Origami.'
Kanda looked at his 'watcher'. Honestly, she spaced out and there are some planks in the way. If she still spacing out like that, that iron planks will crooked by her head *judging from his mission with this girl*. He reached her heck and bent it down.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I was spacing out. And….."
She looked at her skirt. He knew that she hide something. Women are such troublesome. Yet he couldn't unsheathe his Mugen just like he did for Moyashi or that Baka Usagi.
"Is there something on my face? Just spit it out…."
"You know what? You look like my brother…."
Kanda looked at her in eyes…
"What?! Yeah…. We have some Asian or can I say…. Japanese's face because my back generations were some immigrants from Japan. I don't know how it's possible for me and my family members to get this Japanese face. You know? It was a long time ago. There must be some mix of appearance but now I have this!"
She averted her eyes. Maybe he didn't want to know…..
"A-ano….. So your previous generations were…."
A finder behind Kanda who kept the boat was giving her a question look. She smiled.
"Yeah, I don't know exactly when… but it said that one couple of the immigrants moved from Japan before Earl taking over it…"
"Soudesuka….." *Soudesuka: oh, I see*
They reached the train station and Meena waved cheerfully towards Kanda and his finder.
"So, I will go to that red train! Be well everyone! And be careful Okay…" she said with worrying look towards Kanda.
"Tch! Just because I look like your brother you give me some Motherly-look? I think I know how your brother feels when you gave him some that look!"
"Oh sorry, but you know what? We got separated when we got ten anyway…. So I think you will never know about his feeling anyway… but…. Thanks for listening!"
Her calmly look changed again. Now the cheerful Meena was back….
'When we got ten…. Don't tell me'
"Fuutago Aniki desu!" said Meena. She read his mind accidentally. Just blame it for Kanda because the thinking-mode-Kanda was really something for her. *fuutago aniki: twin big brother*

The mission went well. The innocence retrieved and no victim in the process. Now, he just come back and takes some nice sleep after he gives this innocence to Hevlaska. This solo mission was too easy. Just a few akumas level1 and also a level2. This hill is not easy to reach and no population in here.
But some nagging feeling crept toward him…
'How am I keeping this scene? Her face just keeps flowing in my mind. She must be in another country right now. Fighting with her deadly punch and bloody armor. She is alone with finders, isn't it?'
But finders are finders. They are not strong enough to kill one level1…..
But this is her solo….
He shook his head and walked inside the awaiting train…
'You look like my brother…'
'Be carefull…..'
"Tch."
