Nero: Oh my gosh!! I'm alive!! Hehe, anyways, I finally got out of my writers slump!! I know the last chapter was a bit...okay it sucked tootsie pops, but I had to get tht brain fart out!! -sigh- Please enjoy my hard work and don't froget to review!!
P.s. A lot of OOCness in it as always, but we all know Kanda is like a turtle. Hard shell, soft heart. And that Allen would be a protective parent.
Allen and crew were so excited to go to America. Except for Kanda, who was bitching about being on a boat is gonna be impossible since the Moyashi will eat all the food.
"For the last time, Bakanda!! Its Allen, and I will not eat all the food!!"
"Hmph, when we get to our mission, then I will believe you."
"Kanda-sensei, maybe you and Allen should have a truce for now. I can't swim and if you sink the ship-."
"What!? You can't swim!? How useless are you!?" Kanda shouted, making Gabriel tremble a bit. She trusted his judgement, but that didn't mean she wasn't a bit fearful of him, too.
"I'm sorry!! My par-!!" Like a jolt of lightening had run through her small frame, Gabriel collapsed screaming in pain.
//Flash back//
A little girl sat on a lonely bench, waiting. Her black pig-tails swayed in the cold autum wind. Her large eyes in tears. She wanted to go home. She knew she should have waited for Papa to pick her up from daycare, but she couldn't wait. Papa was always late, but she wanted to give him his present she made.
"Gabriel!! There you are!!"
The girl looked up with tears finally breaking loose.
"Papa!!"
//end//
"Holy crap, Yuu-chan!! You killed her!!"
"Shut up, rabbit!!"
"Gabriel!! Hey, get a hold of yourself!! Gabriel!!" Allen shook the poor girl like a rag doll. "I knew Kanda was ugly, but enough to kill someone!? Kanda, how could you!?"
Allen hugged the 'dead' body of Gabriel. "Oh, such cruel, twisted fate is this as to take a child from her family...by angry Japanese Man!!"
"Mm nmp ded...."
"...Pardon me?"
"I'm not dead!! Now please, can you let go of me?"
"Never!! What if I lost you!?" Allen asked with teary eyes.
"Please....Allen-papa." Gabriel let loose her innocent-wet-kitten-caught-in-rain eyes.
"Waaaaahh!! She said papa!! Lavi, she said papa!!"
"Congradultions, Allen. Its a girl."
Gabriel looked at Kanda with desparate eyes. Help me, she mouthed. Kanda groaned, but they would miss the boat at this rate.
"Oi, let go of my pupil." He growled to emphasize his irritation.
"But she called me Papa!!"
"Yeah?" Kanda had a brilliant idea. It was genius and ranked the highest prank ever done in his record, which was currently none existant. "Well, prepare yourself. Someone is gonna be calling you 'Grandpa' pretty soon, too."
Kanda reached down and grabbed Gabriel and tossed her over his shoulder. The joke was suppose to be about the fact that Allen's hair is white and that by the time they make it to the boat, his age would match his hair. Obviously, the is a big hole in this joke. 1) Allen is very, very, VERY, dense. 2) Kanda was walking away with Gabriel tossed over his back, like a kidnapper.
Lavi's jaw dropped to the floor. Did Kanda just imply what he and Allen thought he just imply? "Gabbie-chan's...."
"Nooooo!!" Allen screamed like the distressed father he felt like. He ran up behind Kanda, grabbed his pony-tail and yanked it like the reins of a horse.
"Ow, what the hell, Moyashi!!"
"What the hell indeed!! How could you!?"
Kanda smirked, thinking it was his joke that made Allen this way. It sort of was, but not in the same way.
"I can do what I want. Its not like I forced-." Kanda was gonna say: Its not like I forced your hair to turn gray. But Allen stopped him mid-sentence.
"That can't be true!! Of course it was forced!! Do you think this is natural!!? Gabriel, tell the truth, was it forced!?"
"Um...no?"
"No!!? No!!? Kanda you fiend!! How dare you!?"
"Hey, its not my fault!!"
"Yes it is," Allen glared at the samurai. Then, turning his attention to Gabriel. "And you shouldn't hold a pregnant woman that way!! You might hurt the fetus!!"
-place moments of shocked silence here-
"Well, Yuu-chan, what are you gonna name it? I was thinking, if its a boy it should be named Lavi!! That name will surely make it look awesome!!"
"Lavi, your name is horrible. How about Allen, huh Gabriel? It means handsome!!"
"And what if its a girl?" Gabriel thought it through in her moment of shock and figured it was just a game, while Kanda was still as a statue.
"Oh, Gabriel, if its a girl then we can name it Eileen!!"
"What!? No, if its a boy...Kanda Jr. That's what I'd name him. And as for a girl, I think Samantha would be nice."
"Hey, what about Yuu-chan!? We can call it Yuu if its a girl!!"
"And if its twins?" Allen suggested, getting into this whole name that nonexistant baby thing.
"Yuu and Kanda!!" Gabriel and Lavi said together. At this point, Kanda dropped Gabriel with a thump.
"Kanda!! Be careful!!" Allen scolded as he helped Gabriel up.
"Pregnant..." Kanda grabbed Gabriel and spun her around to face him. "You are pregnant? As in with child? As in you will be a mother in the next nine or so months? And I...will be the father?"
Still thinking this is just a game: "Of course you're the father, Sensei. Who else could it be?"
"And when, pray tell, was my child conceived?" Kanda was totally serious about this. Although he is an experianced exorcist, the Black Order didn't really have sexual education in their agenda and Kanda had never been in a romantic relationship. All he knew was that a man and woman had to be very close and had to be in private together if a child was to be conceived.
"Do you not remember?" Gabriel asked with fake tears. She pout her lips and let her watery eyes gleam in the light of the moon, making her look hurt and betrayed.
"...well...I...uh... My memory just needs refreshing!!" Kanda said louder than he intended.
"It was while I was taking my final lap around our classroom." Gabriel stuttered, blushing like a school confessing her love. "I wasn't paying attention and crashed into you. We rolled down the hill and...and..." She looked away in mock embarassment.
Kanda remembered quite well, that incident. She had crashed into him and pushed them down the near by hill. With their limbs tangled together, the rolled. As far as Kanda could tell, her pregnancy was ligitimate. They were close, alone, and...and...
"Usagi, get me a priest!!"
"Huh?"
"A priest, damn it!! A priest!! Do you want my child to be a bastard!?"
"Sensei, what are you talking about!?"
"We're getting married. Moyashi-"
"Its Allen!! And who said I was giving Gabriel away!!"
"Do you want Gabriel to be a whore!?"
"Hey, I'm right here you know!!"
"Yeah, Gabriel is a nice lady!!"
"I thought I told you to get a priest!?!?"
"SHUT UP!!" Gabriel shouted. "Look, I'm not pregnant!!"
"EHH!!?"
"What the hell are you talking about!? Of course you're pregnant!!"
"No I'm not!! We never conceived a child!!"
"I knew it!! Kanda killed it when he dropped her!!" Allen screamed. Lavi gasped in shock and Kanda made a face that can't legally be described.
"No, no!! I'm not pregnant period!! I don't know why you people think I'm with child!!"
"Kanda said Allen was gonna be a grandpa!!" Lavi pointed out.
"Its couse he was holding us up!! We were going to miss the boat!!"
"See," Gabriel smiled in relief. "All a misunderstanding."
"...hey, what time is it?"
All at once: "We gonna miss the boat!!"
Allen and co. ran for their lives to catch the boat and thankfully made it thanks to Lavi using Iron Hammer at the last moment.
-On the ship-
Gabriel lay on her bed, completely exhausted. Riding that damned hammer was really not the most enjoyable experiances. They had met up with Olivia, who would be their finder throughout the mission. Although Gabriel had offered to let her room with her, Olivia kindly refused, explaining it was easier to gather info when she could mingle with the common people.
"Sure, but it sure is lonely in here," Gabriel sighed.
-knock knock- "Oi, Chibi!! Dinner!!"
"I'm not hungry."
"Don't be a brat and come and eat!!"
"I'm. Not. Hungry."
Kanda sighed. Then again, he could see himself saying the same thing to General Tiedoll when he trained with him. Like teacher, like pupil.
"Gabriel, as your teacher, I need you in shape and strong." As he said this, Kanda entered the room and sat on her bed. "We soliders never know when we'll meet our maker. With that, we don't have the convinience to leave a proper legacy. Sure, I was reluctant to take you in-."
"You flat out refused," Gabriel grumbled.
"I will ignore you said that...for now. As I was saying, you are the legacy I leave behind when I leave for good. And I intend to leave you with teachings to remember. Now, if this touching moment is over, can we go eat?"
Gabriel was the one to sigh this time. She really hated it when Kanda too advantage of her and her softspot for baring one's feelings.
"Kanda, do you really think that?"
Kanda smiled. Okay, not really smiled. More like smirked, but not with arrogance, but his lips were still curved upward anyways so we'll call it a smile. "Chibi, when am I not serious about what I say?"
"When you say you're gonna kill Lavi. You never really do." Gabriel smiled and followed her beloved master out to the dining hall.
Nero: Okay, there. The third chapter!! Yes!! As you have noticed, Kanda got t show his softer side that we all know exists!! Don't judge the samurai!! Please review!!
