Chapter 11
It was the same, boring day for Lavi Bookman Junior. And so, when he saw Allen Walker holding a leaf of a potted plant and shaking it, he knew he had found his entertainment. He inched closer to the shorter boy and heard murmurings.
"Hi, Mr. Potted Plant, I meet you, again." Allen said while still shaking the leaf.
Lavi could not hold back his urges to laugh and let go, the corridor echoing his laughters. Allen jumped up in shock and turned his face away in a slightly annoyed look, crossing his arms childishly.
"What?" Allen said. Lavi, now on the floor, looked up at Allen and introduced himself.
"Hi, I'm Lavi!" Lavi stuck his hand out to shake with Allen's. Allen introduced himself as well, glad that he managed to find some other living soul other than the potted plant.
"I need to get to the forest. Can you please take me there?" Allen pleaded. It was going to be sun down soon and he had to get there. Lavi smiled and replied in his always cheerful tone.
"Sure!" And Lavi dragged Allen to the forest, teasing him all the way about his bad sense of direction.
At the forest…
"Yu-chan!" Kanda opened his eyes and glared at the one-eyed boy in front of him. Unsheathing his sword, he pointed it at Lavi and sent out a death threat.
"Call me by my first name again and I'll kill you." Lavi looked completely unaffected by the death threat and continued calling him by his first name. Allen stared at the scene before him and chuckled, maybe a bit too loudly.
Kanda turned his head to glare at Allen and spat out none too kindly.
"What's your problem, bean sprout?" Kanda looked smug when he saw Allen twitch. Allen clenched his teeth and fought to keep his cool.
"Nothing, BaKanda!" Kanda's smug face turned into a full blown scowl and he charged at Allen, swinging his sword to slice off Allen's head. Allen parried the attack with his left arm, the sword cutting off his sleeve and revealing his black arm.
"What was that, you cursed freak?" And Kanda pulled away and charged at Allen once more. He saw a sudden flash of red and Lavi was before him, his hands up in a sign of peace.
"Woah, Yu-chan, calm down! You two haven't even started real training yet!" Lavi said. Allen and Kanda glared at him simultaneously and pushed him away.
"Don't interfere." Lavi shrunk away in fright and disappeared. He definitely did not want to lose his life any time soon. Seeing that Lavi was gone, Kanda distanced himself from Allen and smirked, slowly backing into the cover of the surrounding trees.
"Let's begin, shall we?"
