After a long and tiresome trip to meet the Sage of Life, the exorcists had finally brought back the Sage's apprentice, Silverton (an innocence accommodator), to the Black Order. Once there, Silverton met her new exorcist master, General Tiedoll, as well as Lenalee Lee. Silverton naturally took an instant disliking to the green haired girl, due to her strong similarity to Nova, Silverton's deceased older sister. Lenalee tried to greet the new soon to be exorcist and make friends with her. Sadly, it was short lived as Lenalee unknowingly angered Silverton by taking a mysterious black notebook from her, leading to Silverton punching Lenalee's jaw and taking the notebook before running out of the room.
Silverton raced down the corridor, clinging to the black notebook tightly at her chest. She was having mixed emotions – anger, a bit of panic, regret even. She knew everyone who'd witnessed the violent act was probably helping Lenalee out of the pathetic state that she'd been left in. Now, everyone hated her more. Great. At least Lenalee wouldn't be bothering her anymore though…right?
She stopped running at a narrow doorway. She recognized it somehow from when she'd been given a short tour by Tiedoll, but she'd completely forgotten what was inside. Yet somehow, she felt that it would be one of the few places where she would be accepted at the Black Order.
Silverton entered the room slowly and cautiously. It was a beautiful room, one similar to the one at Tsamo (her true master)'s home. It was a room for meditation, complete with a Japanese style paper window and a few elegant flowers blooming in pots. She walked into the room to see the entire thing and noticed something…someone she hadn't seen a moment ago.
"We meet again I see." Kanda spoke as he meditated. He hadn't even turned to look at her, yet somehow he knew. "Why are you here, Silverton?"
The brown haired girl walked a bit closer to him, but quickly stopped when Kanda turned around to get sight of her. Although she didn't want to, she said to him quietly, "May I stay here a while?"
Kanda turned back and continued his routine. "Only if you plan on meditating."
"I don't know where else to go right now." She admitted.
"Why is that?"
"I'd go to my room, but I don't know where that is either."
"You could just ask for directions."
Silverton looked at her black notebook regretfully. "As if anyone would want to talk to me after that…"
Kanda slouched on the floor, realizing he wasn't going to be meditating while she was there. "You did something stupid, huh?"
Silverton's eyebrow twitched with irritation. "Don't you think that could've been worded a little…I don't know…nicer?"
"What did you do? Just tell me and get it over with." The black haired exorcist demanded.
Silverton sighed and sat in front of him. "This girl with green hair started talking to me, and I didn't answer. Then she tried to take this from me," she signaled to the notebook in her hands, "and I'm very protective of it…she wouldn't give it back so I just punched her and took it and ran off."
Kanda rubbed the back of his neck. "So you punched her over a notebook?"
"Yup."
"What's in it?"
"None of your business."
"Why can't I know?"
"The only people who I let see inside this notebook are my friends…" Silverton looked away and whispered quietly, "Friends who I abandoned three years ago…"
Kanda studied her for a moment without speaking.
Feeling uncomfortable under his narrow eyes, she stared back at him. "The hell are you staring at?"
"You don't seem like someone who would have friends." Kanda said, soon afterwards realizing how that must have sounded.
"Hmph…" she grunted. "I probably don't anymore, anyways."
"Care to explain?"
"Why the sudden interest in MY life, eh?" Silverton questioned.
Kanda rubbed the back of his neck. "General Tiedoll says it would be best to try and get to know you." He paused for a brief moment. "He says he thinks you're similar to me somehow."
She scoffed, "That old man doesn't even know me. It's not his job to compare me to anyone. I'll be whoever the fuck I want. Who does he think he is to try and go telling other people who I am and what I- "
"If anything, I'd say you have similarities to the General." Kanda said while flipping through the black notebook he'd snatched from Silverton while she was ranting. "He's an artist too, you know."
Silverton gasped and tackled him. "Hey! Knock it off! Give it back to me!" she demanded, tugging on his long ponytail. She wasn't being as aggressive as she was with Lenalee, however, since Kanda had already seen the contents inside it and her secret was already exposed to him.
"Get off me, baka tsubaki!" yelled Kanda as he shoved the irritated girl off him.
She paused and thought to herself, *"…Baka…what…?"*
Kanda continued turning the pages, carefully observing each sketch on every page. "Who ARE they?" he said. "You draw them a hell of a lot."
Silverton sighed as she watched him flip through the pages of her past. She knew who he meant when he said 'they', for she knew that 'they' were drawn in the sketchbook several times. "Those two are my friends…or WERE rather…The one with the fluffy black hair is named Riche and the blond one is Drek."
"Are these the same friends you claimed to have 'abandoned three years ago'?" he questioned, surprisingly curious.
"Yeah….I thought you knew that story. Didn't my master show you the memories I stored in my golem?"
Kanda thought back. "He showed us a memory of you with Nova when you were young, other than that, nothing."
"I see. I guess Master was just trying to respect my privacy." Silverton said. "Those two were going to help me in a time of need, but I didn't want to cause them any trouble, so instead, I ran away. I haven't seen them or heard from them since."
"Oh…alright." Kanda tried to pretend he actually cared, when really, he just wanted to meditate.
Silverton grunted. "You really couldn't give a shit could you, Kanda?"
Kanda smirked. "Not in the slightest…"
"Thought so." The brown haired girl lightly punched his shoulder.
Kanda then sat back into position to meditate and Silverton did the same. "By the way, what should I call you?" the dark haired exorcist asked. "Silverton is just your last name, right? That's what your master said if I recall."
She paused for a moment. "You're the first person here to ask me that…and…I guess I'm cool with you…um…alright, but if I tell you, you better not call me it in front of other people! I'm only going to tell you just because I think I can trust you and-"
"Just say it and get it over with."
"Alyssa…well, I usually go by Lys, but I guess you can call me either one. Only you, only in private. I don't want everyone saying my name around here, it's such an embarrassing name…"
He couldn't help but chuckle. "You think YOUR first name is embarrassing?"
"Oh? Is yours worse?" she questioned, poking his arm jokingly.
He cursed himself in his head, *"Damn it…she told me hers out of trust…urgfuckassshitbitchpissinmeo fffuckfuckfuck!"* He cleared his throat. "My first name is….you better not call me this unless it's just the two of us!"
She giggled, "Just say it and get it over with, eh?"
Kanda blushed with embarrassment. "It's Yuu. Yuu Kanda." *"This bitch better not laugh!"*
Sensing his embarrassment, she held back her cackling and just smiled. "I think it's a cool name! I've never met someone with that name before." She reached out her hand to him "It's a pleasure to finally meet you properly, Yuu Kanda."
Kanda grunted and shook her hand firmly with a faint smile. "You as well, Alyssa Silverton.
