Tooku chapter 6

He just silent…
Yup, Kanda and 'the silent' is the perfect combination anyway….
Now he was inside a lift with his finder. The lift still went up and up.
'Fuutago aniki desu!'
He slapped his face. And the hand who slapped him just stayed on his face. It occupied his face and only his eyes that still appeared. How can that silly, lame emotion (he doesn't know the name anyway) still nag inside his brain?
Or his heart maybe?
Kanda Yuu, the one who became the witness of bloody tragedy some years ago has closed his emotion. He knew that he just a tool in that time. A tool that will bear something called innocence. The best part was all the sciences that did the project were killed by their own project. As the ending, he must fight to death.
The 'tool' feeling was still in his brain. He hates order…
Wait a minute, he knew from Lavi that Meena has another ability besides her parasitic type innocence. Something about prophecy and 'reading'.
Of course, he will give her the tip of his Mugen if he knows that Meena was behind all of this. So sure!
The incident in the train station was the proof. She knew about what is he thinks. Silly.
He arrived at the Komui's office.
"Curly! Just do your work!"
"Demo Reever hanchou…."
"No crying this time. I'm sure that Kanda will be back her up!"
"But we still don't get any communication from yesterday!"
"Don't use it as excuse to break from your work! Meena will be fine anyway! She will contact anyone nearby if she gets a problem. Is that her habit from Asian branch? And Kanda never be too hard to a woman."
Gets a problem?
Crack!
He didn't have much time to dodge the opening door. Reever opened the door and the door swung beneath Kanda's face. For the first second, Reever just tried to apologize. But the next minute, he stared him with shock face.
"Kanda! I thought you…."
"What?!"
"Is that Kanda-kun? How about Mee-"
Komui stared him with shock (too). He didn't finish his sentence when that girl's presence was away from the other.
"Don't tell me you just ignored her call for help!" said Komui. His OOC form changed to be the serious one. Kanda hates that expression.
"Please someone help me! Meena-sama is in the critical condition!"
Three pairs of eyes looked at the really panicking finder who has something on his arms. His sweaty face was a mess. Everyone gathered and tried to help. Matron rushed toward them with some nurse that carrying stretcher. Some science even took off their white jacket to prevent the bleeding wound.
Matron shoved some people to give the first aid to the poor exorcist. She examined her and used some CPR before the girl choked out some bloods. Kanda just stared at the scene. He looked at the other direction. With her arms, Matron picked up her body from the floor on the stretcher. She just lies limply and the nurses rushed her to the infirmary.
When they passed Komui, Meena asked them to stop for a while. She dug inside her (remaining) pocket and took something that glowing in green light. It's innocence. Felt the only one Exorcist in there, Kanda took it from Meena's hand. With blurry gaze, Meena smiled.
"Anta wa daijoubu desuka? Maa… yokatta…" said Meena with cheerful face. She looked like a healthy girl although some injuries covering her body. Kanda just took it and looked at the other side. *trans: You're okay right? Hm… thank God*
"You fulfilled your duty Meena, now you can rest. Matron, please…" said Komui with his gentle tap on her forehead. Meena closed her eyes and the stretcher continued to bring her to the infirmary.
"You can leave this to us," said Matron.
"Your words are creepy Supervisor. It looks like Meena is going to die," said Reever. Komui shook his head.
"That's not what I mean. From the look of her eyes, it looks like a worrying-look eyes," said Komui. "It's better to make her comfortable."
.
.
.
After some words and scold from Komui, Kanda walked towards his room. His hand still coated in Meena's blood. He hissed and looked for bathroom. Just to get rid of the blood. But when he reached the bathroom, the blood just vanished from his hand.
'What the-'
'What was that?'
'Was that just an illusion?'
'Don't tell me it's Meena!'
'She is badly injured and how can….'
He just lay on his back. He couldn't sleep because that 'blood incident'. Was that because her innocence? But if that because her innocence, how could it can…..
Moyashi's innocence can do that too anyway. Something about Mana or his foster parent was went to heaven because his own innocence.
Stretch…
Stretch…
Stretch…
'It sounds like someone walking….'
The sound kept repeating until it reached his door. Now, who's that? It's Maybe Leenale who still has her nightmare.
But in approximately 3 minutes, the sound continued. Now, it just a silent walks because it reached further from his room.
"Tch!"
He opened his door and found a girl with large veil on her head. He didn't know who that is but it was a girl. If it was Leenale, she must use her dark boots to jump from section to section. But she just use her bare feet. How could be a finder because…
Finder is finder…. They are just a mere human.
Clack
He looked at the roof. That girl seems reached her goal. He grabbed Mugen, it was suspicious enough because no one can jump from that height. It may be an akuma.
He reached the roof. A full moon shone through the figure with veil. He pointed her with the tip of Mugen.
"Who are you?!"
"HE…!"
She jumped and almost kisses the ground but Kanda took her right hand and yanked her. A familiar face was showing.
"So-sorry…. I'm just…."
"I think you get some injuries."
"Yeah, I get some injuries. But my innocence saved me. It draws back any remain and closed the wound."
Kanda sat beside her and noticed some differences. She looked at him with her usual smile and ran her fingers across her long hair.
"You can tell this is the side-effect of my innocence. I don't know why but every moonlight or full moon like this, my hair grows long and long until it reaches my foot. And unfortunately, I'm hiding this from everyone. Of course the Matron is included. Weird, isn't it?"
A cool wind blew towards them. He just closed one of his eyes but she was panicking with her hairs.
"Wah… my hair my hair!"
Her veil was no longer covered her head. The wind blew her hair and she tried to grab but it was too strong.
Kanda sighed. How could an innocence doing this? It's nonsense.
But innocence was usually nonsense after all.
He reached his pocket and offered something from there.
"Thanks."
Now, she just struggled with her new hair tie (courtesy of Kanda). Felt a little irritated, he walked behind her and with some experienced moves, he made her a new ponytail from her very long hairs. She sighed in defeat.
"Sorry….."
She made some sniffing motion and rubbed her eyes. And Kanda felt a little suspicion about a crying girl in front of him. But, what's the wrong part from him? Woman is hard to understand. They are just too emotional with their easily-broken-heart.
"Oi oi….."
Is that because the ponytail?
"Gomen na…. I'm just remembering something. Sorry about my nonsense talks to you back in front of Komui. I was a half conscious. It just, I don't know. Something about that feeling just came and I couldn't stop it. I don't know how to suppress it. I'm failing to suppress it. It was shame action for an exorcist…"
"Someone can do something fool when a death is close enough…."
She looked at him with disbelief. Her mouth was full opened (you can say it's jawsdrop). Uneasy feeling crept towards Kanda. When he looked at Meena, he knew what the meaning.
"W-what?"
Meena smiled. This cool hearted Kanda was trying to comfort her. But because the lack of practice (courtesy of Meena), it sounded so awkward. Yeah, it's so awkward from the first time because judging from his tone, he tried but he doesn't know how to spit it out.
It was so funny.
"So, you mean that I'm dying? I will be cremated tomorrow? How cruel you are!" said Meena with playful tone but she kept her 'angry' tone to debauch Kanda. To make some dramatical part, she poked his shoulder with her fingers.
"I mean, tch!"
"Mataka yo….kore wa 'tch',are wa 'tch'. 'Tch' wa nanimo no nandai?" *a/n: again? This is 'tch', that is 'Tch'. What is the real meaning of 'Tch'?*
"Tc-"
No, this is trap! He can't do it or he will fall on her trap (again).
Meena giggled. She knew about what he thinks. But it didn't because her mind reading. Everyone can see that priceless face of Yuu kanda. But, she will treasure it for her own 'plan'. He looked so 'cute' with his way of hiding his own emotion. He just looks at the other side and this is the nice situation. She wondered why Lavi calls him 'Yuu-chan'. But that cute expression was really something.
"W-what?!"
"Ka- iie, kakkoi!"
She almost blurts a word of 'Kawaii'. But for the sake of this moment (she wanted to stay longer like this) she said 'Kakkoi' as the result. She didn't lie anyway, a man in black suit, tall, slim, pretty face, fast movement and beautiful dance in sword are her proofs.
"How many girls that has a crush on you?"
Silent….
"Have you experienced a memory about a guy who mistaken you as a girl?"
Silent more….
"Sumarai na….. Anta wa sumetai!" *So boring. You're so cold*
"Whatever."
"So,what are you doing in there?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, when there is something that isn't your business, you let it flow like the other. And now, me, Meena is doing some stargazing alone. This is not your business, right?"
Meena stood up and walked behind Kanda.
"Now, I think Matron will get mad if I leave the infirmary."
"Of course, Baka Onna!"
Yup, make the Matron mad and you will get some 'cruel' punishment.
"Ittai desu!"
"Tch!"
"You fall to the trap!" said Meena. She sprinted on the roof but her injured leg gave her another resolution. She almost fall face first but a hand caught her arm. She looked at the owner and smiling.
"Do you want to return the favor when we did our mission last time?" said Meena playfully. She got a nod as agreement. But she could see those worrying eyes.
'He more looks like Suke.'
But the consequence never left her body. She just too tired because all the reading. It was fun to read Kanda despite his pitch black memory. She knows about the second exorcist project from her 'skim' read on Kanda's eyes.
"Oi oi! Wake up,onna!"
Yeah, she just too tired. She didn't care what happen in the next second. Maybe Kanda will throw her away to kiss the ground romantically. But she could smell something relaxing on her nose. Her eyes fluttered open and she saw that ponytail. She could take a quick glance towards Kanda who doing a piggy-back-ride to her. Her hair was shrinking up and the tie was slipped off easily. She tried to catch it and hide it in her palm.
She kept pretending like an unconscious girl on Kanda's back. Was this the resolve? She knew that a long time ago, she prayed to God to give her some direction towards her twin. But there was no direction again because Suman said that no one survive from those akumas attack a long time ago.
Yeah, it just a lame story. She realized that there were people who have more bad experience than her. Of course this Kanda is included.
'General! This town…'
'What is this?! There is no akuma again?!'
'General, look!'
'HM?! Her fighting skill towards that akuma is impressive!'
'I think she has innocence.'
'Hm…. I think so…'
She felt so relieved that Sokaro's team found her in those ruined village. Suman took care of her and they sent her to the Asian branch. Because her low synchronization, she must spent some years to join the central.
'Hah…. I'm tired….'
Her head lolled on Kanda's neck. She just like a cat which nuzzling and purr to its master (unfortunately, the master is Kanda).
'Hey! What are you doing! Are you okay?'
A girl looked toward her brother. Her tears kept running on her cheeks. The boy ran towards her and did a piggy back ride. The girl giggled.
'What are you laughing at?'
'You're not strong yet!'
'What do you mean?'
'Hm…. What I mean huh?'
'Just because I can't do a bridal style to you, it doesn't mean that I'm not strong enough to throw you in that river.'
'I'm just kidding… mou….'
She looked at him with her puppy eyes. The boy looked at the other side with his I-don't-look-your-face-so-don't-ask-more-than-this expression. She pouted and nuzzled his hair.
"You're so warm. Suke…."
Kanda looked at the 'kitty' Meena. The word 'Suke' was enough to distract him from his walk. Maybe this 'Suke' is her twin brother. But, is he really looks like this 'suke'? how obvious is he in her eyes? Is this Suke has some similarity with him?
"So, what's going on in here?"
Kanda looked at the stairs, a woman with candle in her hand. Her suit dedicated that she is one of the nurses. The sound of her voice made some shiver on his neck. Her scary face is enough to make a little girl crying.
Yeah, she is Matron.
Looking at something behind Kanda's back, she walked towards infirmary and looked at the man behind her.
"C'mon. This girl has some serious injuries. The first thing is to take care her wounds. But the best thing is to make her comfortable."
What?!
"C'mon young man!"
They arrived in her bed. The infirmary was quiet because it's almost daylight. He sat on the bed and Matron pulled Meena from his back. Matron grasped on her hairs and noticed a hair tie in her palm. She took it and tied it on Meena's hair. She instructed Kanda to lift her feet on the bed and Matron laid her head gingerly on the fluffy pillow.
But they got surprised when Meena tried to roll on the side of the bed. She rolled toward Kanda. Kanda lifted his arm to catch her but they both end on the cold floor. The surprised one was Meena still on her slumber.
"Tch, mendokusai Onna!"
He tried to stand with Meena on his arms. Matron just tried to smile. This girl is unique. She can melt the cool hearted Kanda. To hide her amusement, she pretended to fix the bed and pulled the blanket on Meena's body after Kanda laid her carefully (but it wasn't too carefully because the lack of practice) on the bed.
Kanda walked away but his first step was stopped by a finger that tugging his bracelet. He sighed.

Author's note:
My friend told me that there's no chapter after chapter 217 in D Gray Man manga. Actually, I love this manga because the anime. One of my friends showed the anime at episode 20. I fell in love at the first sight toward Lavi. But I'm too disappointed because I'm wondering about what happen to Lavi after he and Bookman was kidnapped by Noah. *crying* sniff sniff…
And also thanks for reading…. ^_^
See you on the next chapter…
