Me~ I'm being rushed to finish this and DAMN YOU SCHOOL! My teachers thought it was a great idea to pile us projects to finish because they thought we'd be so bored over break. I have a life!! *sobs*

Kanda is 16; Sele is 14 and sorry for my weird outburst.

I do not own D. Gray man.

Chapter: 4~ Rain Drops on Roses

"I'm pretty sure those akuma weren't the ones that were killing the finders and civilians."

"That's obvious."

Our two exorcists are now on the road again, looking for another inn. It's best not to stay somewhere that has their room slightly destroyed by you, right?

Sele sighed again, lunging the radio and stuff behind her. They had gone to the police station to retrieve the finder's things and send the body back to the Order. It's only proper to send the body back to where he had worked so hard for, Sele had said. Sele has to carry it all since Kanda said so.

Good strength never meant great stamina. Like he cared.

"Where are we going?" Sele asked tiredly, "I'm hungry." About the 18th time she asked, not that he was counting. Kanda felt his anger rise up again. Even if he had command over her actions for one day, her mouth never listened. "Kanda~"

"Shut up Orokashii, I'm trying to think," Kanda shouted at her irritatingly. Really, he has been thinking about the akuma that was on the loose. Not that he could conclude much from the small evidence.

"Oh, I didn't know you could meditate walking."

Now she was trying to annoy the crap out of him because she lost. Great. He twitched, holding in the will to slash Mugen at her.

Finally, they walked by a decent looking hotel and entered. Well, in their current condition, there's probably no use saying he's a girl anymore. Secretly, you don't know how happy Kanda is about that.

"2 rooms for Kanda Yuu and Sele Howe, 2 day and 3 nights please," Sele said to the man in the front desk. He quickly scribbled down the info and showed them to their rooms.

This time, Sele was dragged up the stairs by Kanda since she was gonna fall off anytime with all the heavy stuff on her back.

"Aah! That was tiring," she sighed, cuddling up on the bed.

"Why the hell are you in my room?" Kanda threatened menacingly. She gave him the puppy eyes.

"I'm your slave, Master. It's only natural I stay with you till the end," she said innocently, putting in all her drama sweetness. It sent a shiver down his spine hearing it from her. Oh, what she can do......

"Like I care, get out!" he barked, booting her out of his room and slamming the door in her face. Seeing there was no way she could go back in to annoy him, she sighed and reentered her room.

Her stomach grumbled as she sat on the bed. Oh, I used up most of my energy earlier.

Since this inn didn't seem to have (enough) food for her. She went out to buy some. She wasn't the type that likes to be on a leash so she didn't bother to tell Kanda. It's not the first time either. Plus, she'd just get booted out again, likely.

"Ow," she cried out silently, rubbing her arm. The wound had been cleaned and bandaged but it still stung for some reason. Maybe I should go see a doctor.

The streets were rather quiet now that it was dinner time and everyone was inside. Thinking about food made her hungrier. She looked around the diners and cafés, trying to find a place suited to her tastes. She shivered, chilled by the night mist setting in.

Minutes later, she walked out of a market, with a paper bag filled with (tons of) food. She bit into a roll and finished it in seconds. It's natural, don't be surprised. She has a parasitic Innocence after all. You should have seen Kanda's face when he first saw her eat.

'...exorcist, that's her.....'

She stopped and looked back. She was sure she heard voices. Or not. Only an empty street greeted her eyes. Shrugging, she turned back around and walked back.

'....tonight.....it will be tonight....'

KANDA POV

Nice, the idiot just upped and left without a word. Typical. I stared at the barren room. At least she could have a left note or something. God dammit, where'd she go now?

"Oh, Kanda, what are you doing in my room?"

I jumped, surprised, and turned around. She stood there, holding a bag of groceries. So, she has the strength to carry food but not the radio.

"I was checking on you," I said, glancing at her giant bag of food. No need to ask where she just went.

"Want some?" she asked, holding out the bag.

"No, I ate."

"Sheesh, Kanda, if you don't eat properly, you'll become a bone chicken."

"Like you should be talking," I argued. I'm the one is twice your weight. And height. Where does all the food she eats go?

"Oh well, here you go," she handed me a sandwich and pushed me out into the halls. "I get to kick you out this time, hah." With that, she closed the door.

I wanted to punch a hole in the door so bad. This brat....!

If only I could hate her.

'Contact me if you find any Innocence, ok? And be careful, you two.'

"Yeah, yeah," Kanda replied. He had reported to Komui what had happened to them recently. Komui didn't seem to have much clue either.

'By the way Kanda, you still have your disguise on, right?'

He urked, knowing that that is long gone somewhere in the trash already. "...."

'Kanda? Lenalee wants to know.' Oh shoot, what's he suppose to do?

"I do," Kanda lied uncertainly. These are times when you put your life on first in your list.

'Good!' Komui replied, sounding a little too happy. 'See ya when you guys are done.' And the other line clicked off.

Yep, Kanda is definitely not gonna live long when Lenalee sees him.

On the other side, Sele is sleeping very peacefully, unknown to the danger that will pose when the two return to the Black Order.

Nor does the two know of the danger just outside their windows.

Crash~

A loud crashing of glass echoed from across his wall. He flew out of his bed and out the hall. It was from the idiot's room.

He knocked roughly on the door. No answer. He tried the knob only to find it locked shut. He started pounding hard on the poor door. Ugh, that stupid retard! He slammed open the wooden door in fury.

The curtain flapped in the wind coming from the window. He ran into the room, looking around. She was nowhere.

Shards of glass covered with blood lay on her bed and floor. There were some scenes of resistance as the floor and walls had black scars on it, as if burnt.

He looked out the broken window. It was dark outside but with some light provided with the street lamps he could a figure on the roof across. No, two.

'You want her, don't you, exorcist?' There it was, even if his face cannot he seen, it was surely and akuma. He glared at it as it waved a small girl in its hands, pale hair shimmering in the pale light.

He didn't bother to answer as he dived out the window at it, his katana already drawn out and activated. The akuma flew back, avoiding his slash.

'It seems you do,' it snickered. 'She was one tough cookie, burning my hand.'

Kanda was too furious to bother with talking to it since it was gonna die anyway. It blocked his attack with his arm. He saw it, covered with lines of sharp silver strings. This is the one.

'Now, don't be so rash. Let's play a game, exorcist. I'll give you one day to find this girl exorcist here. If you don't, she dies,' it said manically, giving a high pitched laughter.

"I'll just kill you here," he replied, Mugen glowing in his hands.

'Not so fast, I'm afraid.' Two Level Two akumas jumped out from the shadows in front of him. He growled the new obstacles in his way. 'It's been a while since I had some fun. Just killing can be so boring sometimes, no competition,' it shrugged. Its clawed hands squeezed around her neck. Sele coughed, blood coming out. It seems she did some major resistance before getting dragged out.

It was definitely a Level Three if it had control over lesser akuma. Kanda's eyes burned in rage as he attacked the two Level Twos.

As he fought, the akuma took the time and fled under the night's cover.

What a mess this has become.

End Note~ Kanda, you suck. You let Sele get hurt and get kidnapped!! God, I wrote this too. I'm bashing myself here. Oh well, see you next chapter. *faints from lack of sleep*
