Beauty and the Samurai.

Kanda just stared at the door where Lenalee exited moments ago in a rush, away from Kanda's rage. Kanda was breathing in and out deeply as he calmed down.
"Yuu-kun!" yelled a voice.

Kanda sharply turned his head to the sound of the voice. His gaze landed on the painting on the wall, the one with the man staring out into the Japanese landscape.
"Don't call me that!" he snapped but the man in the painting continued.

"Yuu, you should've seen it, the lotus!" the man exclaimed, not even bothering to call him Master, or Kanda.

"The lotus?" Kanda asked, staring hard at the painting. "The lotus is fine, old man, what are you talking about?"

"No! When the girl went near the lotus it was turning white and getting brighter with every step she took towards it! I think it means something," the man explained excitedly.

"Means what? Come on old man, what do you mean?" Kanda was getting impatient; he wanted to know what he meant, and he wasn't getting his answers quickly enough.

"I think that it means that the girl is the one we've been waiting for. It has never done that before. You've got to go after the girl!"

Kanda turned to the lotus, floating in the hour glass. That cursed girl, the one that changed him it this form: maybe this Lenalee girl was his only chance to fix what she had done to him.

"Ok, I'll go get her. I must find her before she gets in trouble. Where's Mugen?" he said, before he saw it on a far wall, held high and proud: his sword, his precious sword. He hasn't used it in ages. He then realised, he couldn't use it, not yet anyway.

"Tyki-pon, what is it you ask of me, and so late at night?" said a fat man with a massive grin that never seemed to go away. He wore a tall top hat on his head with dark blue flowers circling the base of the hat, and small round glasses hiding his golden eyes.

"First, please don't call me that, and second, I would like to borrow some of your war machines," Tyki said he stared at the guy across from him.

"And why would you want some of the Akuma?" he asked. The Akuma were made for fighting, built as special machines that didn't need to be controlled by humans. They were the ultimate fighting machine and the best technology at the moment.

"Lord Millennium, it's about Allen and Lenalee," Tyki said first off. "Allen Walker was going on about a beast holding Lenalee prisoner. I don't believe it, I think that he was seeing things—it was raining, he obviously had limited lighting and ran into a bear or a large wolf and his mind played tricks on him. Anyway I think that Lenalee was lost, so I want to use some of the Akuma to find her," Tyki explained.

"Very well Tyki, take as many as you need," the Millennium Earl agreed. "Do you want anything done about Allen Walker?" he asked.

"Not yet. If he continues acting crazy, then yes, something will need to be done." Tyki left the house and went to where the Akuma were to chose the Akuma and then get them to search the forest for Lenalee.

Lenalee rode on Timcampy and ended up getting herself lost. She couldn't tell where she was, everything looked the same, but she didn't stop—she wouldn't stop, she promised Allen that. Allen had told her something Mana had told him: to keep walking, to never stop walking, no matter what, and she was determined to keep that promise.

Suddenly a huge machine came through the trees. It was a massive ball shape with huge guns on it. She had heard of these things: they were a new fighting technology that was made by the Millennium Earl, but why were these here? Did Allen ask for Tyki's help? But he wouldn't—he was too strong for that and she highly doubted that they would have believed him about a beast in a castle. Who would believe that, really?

Timcampy kicked at the fighting machine, but it had no affect on the Akuma. It looked like it was going to shoot at her, so she turned Timcampy and shot off like a rocket away from it. She needed to get away, wanted to get back to Allen and forget about everything that happened at the castle and go back to her normal, mundane life. But then again, didn't she want to get out of that life before? Didn't she want to be free of that life, to fly like a bird, to be a free spirit? Did she want to take that away from herself?

She heard a gunshot behind her, breaking her from her thoughts; luckily it missed, but hit a nearby tree, igniting it. Others near it burst into flames; soon all of the trees were on fire. A burning tree fell in front of her, blocking the path. Tim stopped suddenly and panicked, bucking onto his back legs. Lenalee was thrown off and tumbled on the dirt. When she looked up, she was suddenly surrounded by the Akuma and burning trees. There was nowhere left to run; she had to fight now. She looked around and saw the burning tree behind her. On the ground there was a thick broken branch that wasn't burnt away, so she grabbed it. Fire had caught on the top of the branch like a torch, so she stood up and held the torch in front of her threateningly, ready to attack the Akuma.

But before she could do anything one of the Akuma was sliced in half and a second later it exploded, in its place a huge dark figure. It looked awfully familiar. The figure crouched in a low position, ready to pounce like a wolf. It then lunged at the machine, drew back its arm to reveal sharp claws and sliced though the Akuma with ease; before Lenalee could blink they all burst to flames, leaving nothing but piles of ash.

Lenalee stood there, amazed at how quickly this person got rid of those horrible war machines, and then she realised why the figure looked familiar: it was Kanda! Kanda had come to rescue her. Why though? She disobeyed him, and she knew it. So why would he come to her aid?

Before either of them could say one word a loud wolf's howl split though the cold air. Lenalee turned around to see the wolf jump over the now dying flames, right in front her. She swung her weapon at it, but before it could touch her Kanda was in front of her and the wolf bit into his shoulder, causing him to cry out in pain.

Kanda threw off the wolf and slashed at its stomach with his claws. The wolf howled in pain and ran off, knowing it would only get wounded more. Kanda's shoulder was killing him. He started clutching at his wounded shoulder to try and stop the bleeding, before his eyes turned to Lenalee to see her unharmed. That was good. He was glad that she wasn't hurt (he didn't know why though) but he knew that if she had gotten hurt then it would've been his entire fault.

Lenalee walked to him, knowing that he wasn't planning to hurt her. He needed help, and he needed to get back to the castle, so she led him carefully over to Timcampy.

"Get on," she ordered him, her eyes leaving no room for argument. But still Kanda protested.

"I am not getting ordered around, I can walk," Kanda said stubbornly.

"I don't care if you can walk or not, get on Timcampy right now so you don't make that wound worse," Lenalee ordered him again.

Kanda grumpily got onto Timcampy. He couldn't be bothered to deal with arguing with her right now; she was still in trouble for going into the West Wing when he told her not to. But they could settle that after getting back to the castle.

Ok so that is that, please review

And thanks to everyone that helped me though the fic

See ya!
