Chapter 41- Rosa Rubicundior, Lilio Candidior 1
Author's Note: Here is Kiki's and Allen's fight. And Insane, you wanted Allen and Lenalee, here ya go. Enjoy!
The Rose is beautiful because it is wanted unlike the Lily.
Krory limped down the hallway, and as he turned the corner, he suddenly froze as the tip of a katana was pointed at him.
"K-Kanda…?"
"Krory?" Kanda sheathed Mugen as Krory mentally sighed in relief until he noticed Lavi slumped against the wall while Milly healed him.
"You all survived? That's good…" Krory muttered as he lay Komui down next to Milly, and she started to heal him too while healing Lavi.
Kanda was perfectly fine as he leaned against the wall, and Krory slumped down so Milly could heal him too.
"I'm sorry that you have to heal everyone…"
"No problem. I actually like doing this." Milly said with a smile, but her smile disappeared when Lavi, Krory, and Komui were healed completely.
"But why were we spared?" She asked, and Kanda scowled as he looked over at her.
"They think we're no threat, so they don't care how many times we fight them."
"Really?" Krory asked, and Kanda nodded slowly as Lavi opened his eyes weakly.
"Ah, Lavi-kun! You okay?" Milly asked, but Lavi was silent as he stood up, and looked over at Kanda.
"You ready to go find Lenalee, Yuu?"
"Yes, but don't call me by my first name or else!" Kanda snapped angrily, and Lavi nodded while Milly looked at Lavi in slight surprise.
"That drunk idiot mentioned something about Adam being one of us two and Bean Sprout while Lenalee is Eve, so maybe we were only saved because that idiot Gin wants to see who is the last one standing for Lenalee." Kanda stated, and Lavi nodded in agreement.
"That would make sense about how they didn't kill us yet." Lavi muttered, and the four flinched as Komui was suddenly awake with his hands at Lavi's and Kanda's throats.
"What was that about my Lenalee…?" Komui asked angrily, and Lavi started to sweat as Kanda just gave Komui a cold stare.
"We should get going to save Lenalee." Krory cut in, and Komui nodded furiously before running off while the others followed slowly behind.
Allen quickly brought his claw up, but was sent back several feet as Kiki's foot collided into his claw.
She pushed back on his claw, and then flipped backwards through the air as Allen smashed into the wall.
"D-Damn it…" Allen muttered as he stood up and wiped the blood away from his mouth.
Kiki silently stared at Allen as she appeared in front of him, and then kneed him in the stomach before flipping over him and swiftly sending him toward the opposite wall.
Allen crashed into the pillar and fell to the floor while gasping for breath.
His eyes widened as Kiki appeared above him, and sent her foot straight into Allen's back, and he smashed into the floor while Kiki flipped back onto the floor gracefully.
She looked back at Allen calmly as he stood back up, and he glared at her while blood rolled down from his mouth.
He wiped the blood away silently, and then swung his claw at Kiki.
Kiki raised her foot to block the claw, and then pushed the claw away while her other foot slammed into Allen's side.
Allen cough up blood as he hit the floor and tumbled away as Kiki calmly started to stroke her ponytail while staring after Allen.
"Ready to give up quietly, or do I need to kick you around some more?" Kiki asked as Allen stood back up, and shot her an angry glare.
"I'm not giving up till I save Lenalee!" He shouted, and swung his claw at Kiki, but was effortlessly kicked away while Kiki continued to stroke her ponytail while it rested on her shoulder.
"Do you remember what I said in Essen?" She asked, and Allen stared at her silently as he stood back up slowly.
"I said you wouldn't be able to even wake Gin up, and I was right if this is your best." Kiki said as she looked at Allen with her light violet eyes.
"I don't care… I will save Lenalee!" Allen shouted, and charged at Kiki again, but she calmly leaned back to dodge the claw, and she kicked Allen into the air, and then appeared above him and sent her foot straight into Allen's back again.
If the mask hadn't protected Allen again, Allen probably wouldn't have been able to stand again.
Kiki landed gracefully as she stared back at Allen, and she sighed as she watched him stand back up.
"Why do you fight so hard for Lenalee?" Kiki asked, and Allen stared at her while wiping the blood away from his lip.
"Cause I love her." Allen replied blankly, and Kiki paused before smiling sweetly.
"I see. Then I shouldn't kill you, should I? It would hurt Lenalee a lot." Kiki said while turning around, but paused again as Allen swung down at her with his claw.
Kiki let out a sad sigh as Allen was suddenly sent flying back into the wall, and Kiki looked back at where he was still standing.
"Who exactly are you anyway?" Allen asked as he clutched his stomach in pain, and Kiki stared at him calmly before replying.
"That is none of your concern."
Allen smirked as he charged at Kiki again, and he then grinned as he swerved to the side, and Kiki flinched as Allen hit her with his right hand.
Kiki hit the floor in pain as Allen flexed his right hand while his claw twitched still in pain.
Kiki calmly jumped to her feet, and smirked as she tilted her head to the side.
"That was weak. This is a punch." She said, and Allen couldn't even react as Kiki punched him in the face.
She then swung her leg behind Allen's as he slowly fell backwards, and she then kicked his legs into the air, and finally slammed her foot into his face.
Allen coughed up blood again as he smashed onto the floor, and Kiki stood over him.
"You're weak." She muttered as she calmly started to walk away.
"Allen-kun!"
Allen's eyes snapped open as Kiki look equally as surprised as Allen when Lenalee landed next to him.
"Lenalee?" Allen muttered in amazement, and Lenalee nodded as tears rolled down her face.
"I'm here, Allen-kun…"
"But you shouldn't be." Kiki said as she turned back around to face Lenalee and Allen.
Lenalee helped Allen to his feet, and the two stared at Kiki as she flexed her legs.
"How did you get here, Lenalee?"
"The door was opened for me."
"… Philman. I always hated him…" Kiki muttered with a scowl as she started to stroke her ponytail again.
"I guess I have no more choices then. I'll have to beat you up, and then drag you both back to your room myself." Kiki said as Lenalee braced herself, and she quickly jumped away as Kiki kicked the wall where they were just standing.
Kiki quickly turned around, and instantly noticed that Lenalee was facing her on one side while Allen was facing her on the other.
Kiki calmly looked back from one to another, and then smirked. "Thinking of attacking me from both sides?" Kiki asked, but the two didn't reply as they readied themselves.
Kiki's smirk widened as she flexed her feet again, and her shoes stopped glowing, which made Lenalee and Allen pause.
'Why did she just deactivate her Innocence?' Allen thought as he raised his claw to prepare himself.
Kiki cutely giggled as she looked back at the two, and then put her hand in her pockets after moving her ponytail back behind her.
"Get ready." She said, and Allen and Lenalee both froze as they were both suddenly sent flying back as Kiki stayed in the same spot she was in.
'What hit us?' Allen thought before slamming into the wall at the same time Lenalee did.
"Here's some info for ya." Kiki said as the two slowly stood back up.
"I was trained to fight without an Innocence, so when I fight with an Innocence, my strength is only half of my full power and speed. Think you can beat me now?" Kiki asked as Allen and Lenalee both froze as they stared at Kiki.
"Who are you, Kiki?" Lenalee asked slowly, and Kiki smiled over at her while fixing her purple shirt's collar.
"Silly question. I'm Hâna Kiki, and I am also Gin's adopted daughter from 22 years ago."
DUN DUN DUN! Wow! That was shocking, no? XD
