Chapter 42- Rosa Rubicundior, Lilio Candidior 2
Author's Note: Part 2 of the Kiki fight, and the little bold quotes at the beginning of the chapter are talking about two people. If you can tell who the Rose and Lily are, I'll give ya a reward. XD
The Lily is all alone until the rain comes to love it like the Rose.
Allen and Lenalee froze as they stared at Kiki in shock.
Kiki smiled again as she looked at the two, and she then grinned as the two were sent flying back again.
Allen rolled across the floor until he quickly jumped to his feet, and Lenalee did the same as they stared at Kiki.
"You're that mad man's daughter?" Allen asked, but was brutally kicked away as Kiki glared after him.
"Don't you dare call Gin a mad man! H-He's…"
Kiki lowered her head so her eyes were concealed by her hair, and Lenalee quickly ran over to Allen to help him stand.
"Gin is… He's all I have…" Kiki muttered as she slumped to her knees, and tears rolled down her face as the two stared at her in surprise.
"Actually, I've noticed that everyone with Gin calls him 'Master Gin' while only Rôade, Cedric, and Kiki don't. Cedric calls him 'Boss', Rôade calls him 'Gin-kun', but Kiki is the only one who seems to be able to call him just by his name." Lenalee stated quietly to Allen, and he looked over at Kiki as the girl continued to cry to herself.
Kiki slowly stood back up, and she looked over at Lenalee and Allen while she wiped her tears away.
"You don't know what it's like to be abandoned by your family just cause you're a girl who can't become the heir of the family title…" Kiki muttered as she stared at Allen and Lenalee while slightly gritting her teeth.
"If Gin hadn't… been the only person to actually care for me… I wouldn't be here…" Kiki muttered as she started to clench her fists while staring at the two still.
"I know how you feel." Allen said suddenly, and Lenalee and Kiki looked at him as he stared back at Kiki.
"I was abandoned too because of my arm. If Mana hadn't found me, I bet I wouldn't be here either." He said with a small smile, and Kiki's fists slowly started to relax as she stared at Allen in surprise.
Kiki gave a small smile to herself, and Lenalee and Allen watched as she walked over to the two.
"I guess you do know how I feel…" Kiki muttered as she looked down at the floor, and Lenalee looked at her sadly while Allen nodded.
"But look now, we both have many friends, right? We're not alone anymore." Allen said with a smile, and Kiki slowly nodded without looking up.
"You're right. I'm not alone anymore…" Kiki muttered with her small smile, and Lenalee smiled too.
"Thank you… Allen." Kiki said, and Lenalee's smile quickly switched with a both very angry and shocked look as Kiki kissed Allen on the lips with one hand under his chin.
Allen looked equally as shocked as Kiki pulled back with a smile.
Allen was speechless as Kiki quickly leaned back to dodge Lenalee's sudden kick at her.
"Why you?" Lenalee said angrily as she kicked at Kiki again, but kept on missing as Kiki calmly jumped away from her kicks while keeping her smile on her face.
"That felt nice…" Kiki muttered as she dodged an enraged kick from Lenalee, and then let out a happy sigh as she jumped back from a sudden kick from Lenalee.
Allen was still standing in the same spot with the same dazed look on his face while Lenalee kicked at Kiki, and Kiki happily dodged while the two circled the room a few times.
Kiki sighed happily again as she leaned to the side to avoid another kick, and she then smiled.
"Maybe I should take Allen so you only have to pick from two instead of three?"
"As if!" Lenalee shouted as she kicked rapidly at Kiki again, but Kiki smiled happily as she calmly dodged the kicks while jumping back.
Lenalee kicked at Kiki again, and a tornado shot out of Lenalee's boots, but it missed Kiki as the girl leaned all the way back till she was basically aligned with her knees.
Kiki snapped back into shape, and then leaned to the side to dodge another tornado as Lenalee's Innocence had activated.
"I wonder why we let you keep your Innocence with you…" Kiki muttered, but shrugged with a happy sigh as she dodged the tornado again.
"How could you steal a kiss from Allen-kun?"
"It was easy though. All I did was kiss him normally." Kiki replied blankly, and dodged yet another tornado as Lenalee started to attack faster and harder.
Meanwhile, Allen was still in his daze as he stared ahead of him, completely unaware of the large "war" going on around him between angry Lenalee and happy Kiki.
"There he is!" Lavi's voice said as he and the others ran into the room, but froze as they quickly jumped back to avoid a tornado from Lenalee.
"W-What's going on?" Krory asked as they watched Lenalee attack Kiki while Kiki calmly dodged each time.
They quickly made their way to Allen, and stared at him while his daze was still fixed on his face.
"Hey, Allen? You awake? What happened to you?" Lavi asked, and Milly sighed as she moved Lavi away and summoned her staff.
"Kami no Omoi." She said, and tapped Allen's head with the purple cross.
Milly closed her eyes for a moment, and then snapped them open as she jerked backwards.
"She did what?" She shouted, and Lavi, Kanda, Krory, and Komui stared at her in surprise.
"What's going on?" Lavi asked in surprise, and Milly quickly pointed to where Kiki and Lenalee were.
"Apparently, that girl Kiki kissed Allen and Lenalee started attacking her out of anger." Milly stated still very surprised, and they all froze as they watched Lenalee continue on the war path.
"Wow, two girls are fighting over Allen… Lucky…" Lavi muttered, and Milly pouted at him while looking away.
Kanda scowled as he unsheathed Mugen, and then smacked Allen with the back of the blade.
"Wake up, Bean Sprout!"
"Who are you calling a bean sprout?" Allen shouted back having finally snapped out of his daze.
Allen suddenly froze as he remembered what happened, but Kanda hit him again to stop him from going into another daze.
"What happened here, Bean Sprout?"
"That girl Kiki… She… She kissed me…" Allen muttered with a blush, and Lavi gave a low whistle as he looked over to where Lenalee was attacking Kiki.
"Seems that girl sure is happy for kissing you, Allen." Lavi said, and Allen looked over, but froze as he finally noticed all of the damage around him.
"C-Can we try to stop them? They'll destroy the entire headquarters…" Krory muttered, and Komui fixed his glasses before shaking his head.
"It's best not to get between two girls over a fight for one man." Komui stated, and they all nodded as they continued to watch the war-like one-sided fight between Lenalee and Kiki.
Gabriel: O.o Wow... Go, Kiki! XD
Lenalee: T.T Why you? -attacks Gabriel-
Gabriel: Hey! -dodges kick- Why are you hitting me? XO
Lenalee: T.T You made that Kiki kiss my Allen-kun!
Gabriel: ... Oh yeah...
