Chapter 5

Kanda snapped out of his daze and mentally scolded himself. Sitting down into his favorite meditating position, he closed his eyes and concentrated. Feeling his barriers, he lifted them and an immense amount of power filled the room, the strong wind blowing away his hair tie.

Kanda, with his hair down, opened his eyes and stared at Allen Walker, hoping that his power could make Allen Walker's recede. However, it served only to agitate Allen's power, a phoenix even appearing and growling at Kanda before increasing its power even more.

"Damn it! You bloody brat!" Kanda shouted, his voice echoing all around. Just then, he picked up Komui's voice from a distance.

"Kanda! Releasing your energy won't work! Try another method! You must save the boy!"

Kanda groaned before approaching Allen slowly.

"I can't believe I'm seriously doing this," was what Kanda said before shrugging off his exorcist coat. He was now bare-chested, since he did not like wearing anything under his coat.

Now standing in front of Allen, he bent down and slid off Allen's kimono until he was only bare-chested. Kanda moved closer and placed a hand on Allen's chest. The heat made him flinch as shivers went down his spine. A drop of sweat trickled down his forehead as he focused on making Allen cold by increasing his power.

After a few seconds, Kanda wrapped his arms around the boy, feeling his power and Allen's mingling with each other. This served to recede Allen's power slowly, but surely. Sighing, he rested his forehead on Allen's an arctic raven appearing and dancing in circles with the phoenix. The room was a mix of ice and fire, the contrasting energies turning the room lukewarm. The lukewarm heat caused Kanda to close his eyes as he desperately fought to stay awake, although it was now starting to get difficult.

All of a sudden, Allen hugged Kanda, muttering a single "Nice" before going silent once more. Kanda felt blood rushing to his face till the tip of his ears, though he just blamed it on the heat.

"I'm going to…rest. Just for a little while." Kanda said to himself before succumbing to the sweet temptation of sleep, thinking that it was also nice just as he lost consciousness, the world soon fading into black.
