Hello again, see, I kept my promise(cheers). This came out a day earlier, so well, I don't know, enjoy? I was really happy today(for reasons that the author of this story is aware of) so I decided to be kind and post this tonight.
Special Notes for this Chapter: More homosexual references? Bakanda's language? Not Beta-ed cause my Beta, unlike me, actually has a life? So yeah, ignore the few spelling mistakes there may be, I never was able to win the Spelling Bee contest.
They will be fixed when she has time.
Disclaimer: D.Gray-Man does not belong to either of us. If it did, Lenalee would be a hard core Yaoi fangirl. And would be very scary indeed, we can assure that.

Chapter V-Useless Explanations
Allen could feel the heat that emanated from both Lavi and Lenalee's bodies as they accompanied him to his meeting with supervisor Komui hand by hand; she to his right, he to his left. He sighed. It was very pleasant to feel like this, as if he had two older siblings that took care of him. Gently closing his eyes, he allowed himself to be take with complete confidence. For a moment, he had forgotten why they were going to meet the supervisor, why an inspector sent by the Commanders followed the three of them with an expression full of seriousness. He had even forgotten about the small pain that he felt in his lower abdomen with each step that he took.
Nevertheless, soon he had to return to reality when listening to the voice of the bookman apprentice announcing that they had arrived at their destination. The white haired one slowly let go the hands of his friends, looking at the ground with heaviness.
Very well, he was already here. Was going to begin with that mission once and for all and be able to gain back his place as a reliable exorcist of the Black Order. He breathed in deeply, finally deciding to open that one door himself while the other two exorcists watched him with what seemed to be genuine preoccupation. But he was completely determined to face what came down on him with bravery, because did he perhaps have any another option left but that? The way he saw it; he had none.
Barely entering, he realized that them three were the last ones to arrive, because here were all of the exorcists of the Order already present. Even the Generals. He couldn't avoid feeling shamed by that fact, had Komui also involved the very same Generals of the Black Order? And if one of them turned out to be his companion? He swallowed with difficulty, somewhat intimidated. It was thanks to the fact that Lavi still had his hand on his right shoulder that he was able to continue walking, under the gazes of his exorcist companions.
"Welcome, Allen-kun! We were waiting for you." The supervisor gladly exclaimed, remaining seated in front of his desk. "Come, sit somewhere near here. You too, Lenalee-chan."
The Chinese girl sighed. Lavi protested at being practically ignored by Komui in quite an exaggerated way. Allen only walked slowly, thinking, digressing. From the very beginning he had thought that the mission assigned to him by the Commanders would be one that he would have to fulfill by himself; because, after all, it was a necessary step to recover their confidence. But the fact was that they had him here, completely nervous, after having been told that he was going to have to carry a life inside of him. Although he didn't know why what really made him feel more uncertain about the whole thing was the knowledge that he would have to share 'this mission' with somebody else.
Slightly lifting his face, he examined his surroundings, looking for somebody in an almost unconscious manner. He found him. Right at the bottom of the room was Kanda. Unlike the others, the Japanese was not looking at him, only had his arms crossed with a gesture of obvious annoyance on his face. And, for some reason, that made him feel bad. He quickly shook his head, parting from those thoughts. Allen had already decided that what Bakanda thought of him did not matter to him in the slightest. He scoffed.
"A-Allen-kun, are you well?" He turned his face. Miranda had called him, with a gesture of complete preoccupation written across her features. Lavi and Lenalee also watched him in the same manner as she did. Dang it, he didn't want for his friends to suffer due to the trivialities that passed through his head.
"I'm well, Miranda-san." He smiled amiably, just like only he knew how to do. And, for some reason, the older one had blushed notoriously at that. Allen tilted his head, somewhat surprised by that reaction, since Miranda did not normally use to act like this with him. Then she began to visibly tremble to later shout:
"I'm sorry!" Miranda brought her hands up to her hair, while she violently shook herself. "I'm sorry, Allen-kun! I couldn't avoid imagining weird things! I'm sorry! "
"Weird things…?" The English asked, still confused.
"It's nothing, Allen-kun!" Lenalee came to Miranda's rescue before the German began to strike herself against the wall, grabbing her from her shoulders to move away as soon as possible from any other object that she could use to damaged herself with. The youngest only continued watching them without finding out about much.
"Pst, Moyashi-chan." Lavi whispered to him while Allen paid attention. "One of two: Miranda-chan has just imagined how it would be like to have a baby with you or she imagined you with an adorable and round little belly."
"Lavi!" He turned to be able to move away from redhead, embarrassed, trying to avoid them from being able to see that he was blushing again. It wasn't going to stop bothering him during this whole meeting, wasn't it? He frowned, now sitting down in front of Komui, who had seemed to look quite amused by the scene.
"Could you stop with the trivialities? Lets finish with this once and for all." General Socalo said, obtaining for a slight chill to run down the back of the younger one. That's right, the Generals were wasting their time because of this situation. He tried to get comfortable in his seat, a little bit tentative.
"Eh, I'm sorry, General Socalo, but Johnny-kun has not yet brought the documents containing the results." The Chinese excused himself, laughing nervously.
All the presents ones stared at Komui with a killer expression written on their faces, including the very same Allen, who would have liked to have lived for a few more minutes without knowing that his special mission had turned into 'this'.
"Don't get mad at me, it's the scientific section's fault that they don't process the data fast enough." Komui complained, sobbing piteously .
"Tell them that you were on the very verge of losing the new data that they gave you, Komui." An annoying Reever let out, whom Allen hadn't noticed at the beginning due to the fact that he was sitting on the ground, surrounded by the very many disorderly papers scattered around the floor. "If it hadn't been for Tup and Johnny we would have had an even greater delay."
"You continue on being cruel, Reever-kun!"
"Hey, Komui! I have a question!" Lavi exclaimed suddenly, childishly raising his right hand. "What is the chosen father going to have to do to the Moyashi-chan to be able to impregnate him?"
Again, a burning dust of red sprung on his cheeks. He covered his face with his hands, completely embarrassed by the question that the red-haired one had asked.
'This is not happening. This is not happening.'
"What are you talking about, Lavi-kun?"
'I don't want to hear it!'
"You know, the father watering the seed inside of the mother's tummy." Lavi loosen a cruel little giggle, quite amused at being able be a bother to Allen.
'No!'
Allen knew he was going to faint sooner or later if Lavi continued with himself.
"Lavi, you idiot!" He listened as Lenalee shouted, apparently striking the bookman apprentice, because he heard him complain rather painfully. "Don't you have any tact? Just look at how you've made poor Allen-kun feel like!"
"Argh, Lenalee, that hurt. And besides, it doesn't matter how much we delay the inevitable, the father will have to do it to him, no? The Moyashi will have to give him his virgi-"
There was a pause. A rather prolonged one. Finally Allen cheered up enough to see what had happened between his friends, being taken by surprise at what he saw.
"A-ah, Yu-chan…."
"Shut that mouth already, stupid rabbit."
Yes, Kanda had grabbed Lavi by the neck of his shirt, staring at the red haired one with the desire to kill him. Allen thought that the bookman apprentice was really lucky that Kanda didn't have his Mugen with him. Although he didn't understand why the samurai had acted in such a way when Lavi had begun to speak of that subject. He bit his bottom lip. Perhaps Kanda really was annoyed at being locked up in this room for that one triviality and had reacted like he normally did after all. He sighed again, gently moving his hands away from his face, even though he could still feel how his cheeks were burning. His gaze avoiding Kanda by any means possible because he didn't want him to see him after having thought, even though it had only been for a second, that the dark haired man had reacted like that for him.
He heard Komui laughing, reason as to why he returned to look back towards the supervisor again.
"No, Lavi-kun, it's not what you're thinking. Although I should allow Kanda-kun to kill you for daring to speak of those type of things near my innocent Lenalee." The eyes of the Chinese shone in a macabre manner, obtaining for Lavi to shake in a rather noticeable way. "But we still don't know if you're the chosen one to be the father of Allen-kun's baby or not. So it'll be better if you let him go, Kanda-kun"
"Che." The Japanese let go to of the red-haired one, crossing his arms once again as he moved away from the junior bookman, as if to not have the temptation of throwing himself at him. Allen gripped the fabric of his trousers with his hands. It was supposed to have been him the one who should have threatened Lavi and not Kanda. And that made him feel even more ashamed.
"Then if it's not like that, then how is it going to happen?" Lavi asked again, as if he had completely forgotten the most recent threat towards his life.
Lifting his gaze, Allen was ready to defend himself this time when Komui began to speak again.
"That information is assumed as classified, Lavi-kun." The supervisor cleared his throat, while he stared towards where Reever resided at, although soon returned to look at the front again.
"But they conducted an operation on Allen-kun so that he would be capable of having babies." Chaozii had decided to speak and Allen noticed quickly that he was blushing. He could imagine that it was embarrassing for him to have to talk about something like that. "Although for me, Allen-san still continues to look like a man. "
"Eh? And why would I have to stop seeming like a man?" The English exclaimed, watching the new exorcist with a gesture of slight annoyance, obtaining for Chaozii to shrink back in fear. "Ah, I'm sorry. I didn't meant to shout, Chaozii."
"What the doctors did with Allen-kun was to place something inside of him very similar in size and function to the uterus of a woman and will surely be able to stretch as much as one while the baby is growing, but it doesn't even remotely approach the complexity of the feminine reproductive apparatus system." Komui began, drawing in a piece of paper while he spoke. Soon he showed his diagram to the exorcists who were sufficiently close enough to see, including a still embarrassed Allen. "What they have placed inside of him when performing the operation was a rather small bag in his abdominal cavity that can contain the fetus. It is not anchored to any organ in his body, although it has many vascular connections that oxygenate him the sufficient amount so that the creature can feed itself. But Allen-kun continues being man."
The truth, Allen had not been able to understand almost anything. But when listening to Komui's last oration he could at last sigh with some ease. Then the only thing that he had within his body was a container for the baby. On the other hand, Reever looked at Komui almost as if protesting that he had said so much when it had been the Chinese himself that had assumed that the information was a secret.
"Then how are they going to make the papa be able to put it there? I mean, if it's closed off completely." Lavi said, indicating the drawing of Komui, which seemed like a small and simple cleared triangle.
"I already said that it's not what you're thinking!" Komui indicated quickly. "And don't say any more perverted things near my Lenalee!"
'Perverted things?' Allen swallowed, tightly closing his lids shut. 'Stop talking about that, Lavi!'
"Nii-san, stop making it even worse, please." Lenalee asked, with a slight crimson tone in her cheeks.
"Ah! I'm sorry, Lenalee-chan." Sobbed the supervisor.
"Right, now that I think about it, you said that the women could also be the father. And they don't have anything to put in there." Lavi resumed speaking, staring at the ceiling in a distracted way, although this time he received a strong blow on the head from part of the Chinese and the Bookman.
"Stupid apprentice, stop speaking without sense." Bookman, seated on the head of the fallen redhead spoke with seriousness. "Remember that in the Catholic Church homosexuality is a mortal sin. The Commanders would not allow for their exorcists to commit it."
"Exactly!" Komui rose quickly. "That's why I said that he should stop speaking so lightly of those things."
Allen rubbed his face with his right hand, breathing in deeply. Then they wouldn't have to do 'that' to him, right? Although he didn't have the lightest idea of how two men could possibly do it in the same manner which his Master Cross did with all those women. After all, it was thanks to the fact that his Master didn't show any type of modesty, still and even when a smaller Allen had been present, that he knew exactly how babies 'were made' (Come on, Mana hadn't given him as many details as Cross had graphically done without even asking him if he wanted to know). He once again shook his head. He didn't want to remember something as chilling as that.
"But it will be necessary to put the baby in somehow, no? And since that's how babies are normally made." Returned to say the red-haired one, still with the Bookman on top of him.
"Fuck, brat, since when do men get pregnant if somebody shoves it up their the ass? You really are and idiot." General Socalo suddenly said, apparently completely annoyed by Lavi's voice.
'Oh… Oh!'
He felt himself violently blushing again.
There was a rather prolonged silence until Komui cleared his throat to begin speaking again.
"I don't really know with exactitude what the Commanders plan on carrying out with this, but I have an idea of how they will do it. And it doesn't matter if the father turns out to be man or a woman, the procedure is similar." He began to sit down once more to take yet another piece of paper and began again with his drawings. "You know that there are feminine and masculine sexual cells that are united in the fertilization, right? If the 'father' turns out to be a girl, then that's what will be surely done: unite those two cells so that they can create a new being."
The English only once again tilted his head. No, he didn't have any idea of what the supervisor was talking about. But he suspected that it was very important. Allen knew it because Lavi was quickly nodding at the words of the scientist, whereas Lenalee kindly watched her brother. He didn't want to turn his glance towards the back, already too ashamed to look for Kanda's gaze.
"… Only that the resulting embryo will end up in the artificial uterus that has been placed inside of Allen-kun. There it will have to be developed normally." Komui enthusiastically continued, talking although he knew that many would not be able to understand what he spoke of (among them Allen, by all means). "If the father turns out to be another man, then the procedure will be a little more complicated. But we still need a feminine sexual cell to carry out the whole thing."
"Jo, then not even for that we stop depending on the women." Lavi complained, while Lenalee loosen a small amused giggle. Allen also smiled, although he still continued on being unable to follow the conversation.
"Don't you interrupt me, Lavi-kun! Weren't you bothering me so that I would explain it to you? Now pay attention to me!" Threatened the supervisor, soon to continue with that same know-it-all tone. "It's necessary to clear the nucleus out of the feminine cell and replace it with one of Allen-kun's cells. Then the fertilization will be possible with one of the fathers cells, therefore the baby will be of them both. Is it not interesting?" He finished, with a radiating smile and eyes shining full of emotion.
"It is improbable, it still continues to follow your theory and not what will in fact be occurring." Reever spoke, still concentrated on the piles of mountains of papers, because he didn't even turn around to look at the Chinese. "Only the doctors sent by the Commanders know exactly how they will do it. By the way, you have to sign here."
"You are a destructive evildoer of dreams, Reever-kun! If they had requested it of me I would have personally made sure that it would work."
"Yes, yes. Be quiet and sign here."
Allen had straightened up while both scientists discussed with each other over the mistreated paper bearing those simple drawings. He only saw what seemed to be a couple of circles, a very big one, and other smaller ones with something that looked like to be a thin thread leaving them. He took the sheet with one of his hands, examining it as if that would help him understand what would be happening to him. But the answer wasn't there, or he maybe he just couldn't see it.
"You have some doubts, Allen-kun?" He trembled slightly, because he was concentrating too much in that one thing and hadn't noticed that Komui had returned back to his seat after having been forced to sign. Letting go of the paper, he quickly shook his head.
Komui smiled at him in a rather strange manner, almost paternal, although Allen didn't notice that due to fact that at that same moment both scientists Johnny and Tup had entered the room, capturing the attention of all the ones that were present.
"We're sorry about the delay!" Apologized Johnny, bowing slightly and it almost caused for him to drop down some of the papers that he carried on his hands. Luckily, his scientific companion had managed to save them in time before they mixed themselves together with the ones the supervisor permanently had upholstering his floor.
The white haired one smiled before the scene, soon turning back around, almost without wanting it. There was Kanda, with a fixed gaze on the front of the room. The Japanese still had his arms crossed in front of his chest, although this time Allen could see a pinch of interest in those dark eyes. But surely it was not because of the anxiety of knowing the results; but because the faster they knew who would be the one that would accompany Allen in this journey, the sooner he could leave. He knew it because he had also noticed that same that look in the eyes of the Generals. The three had approached the sufficient enough amount until they were almost as near to Komui as they could possibly get. Again, that intimidation. And what if the other father of that baby turned out to be one of these powerful exorcists?
He gave a small gasp when he felt the hand of somebody settle on top of his head. Definitively not expecting General Tiedoll to have been the one who had done that, almost as if trying to calm him down. Allen smiled with gentleness, inclining his head in a sign of gratefulness and respect at the kind action. Sometimes he didn't understand why Kanda complained so much about his teacher, since he would have given anything that it would have taken for Cross to have shown another thing outside of complete scorn towards him. Tiedoll drew an amiable smile on his face, his hand retreating so that Allen could also watch the front, waiting.
"Aww, I told you to bring it in a envelope, Johnny-kun. It would have been much more funny that way." The supervisor childishly complained while he received the papers in his hands.
"We want to know already, Komui!" Lavi, completely desperate shouted while the others quickly agreed before his words.
"Can't you handle the tension anymore?" The supervisor loosen a giggle, quickly reading through the sheets of paper until arriving at the one that really interested him. His expression had become solemn after reading it. But, suddenly, he began to laugh again, this time more spiritedly. "How interesting. Definitively, this is very interesting indeed."
"Come on, tell us already, nii-san!" Now it was Lenalee the one that insisted when taking into account that her brother was already aware about the one thing they were all achingly waiting to know.
On the other hand, Allen was the only one who's gaze was lost on the floor. He could feel his face burning, could listen to the strong beats of his heart. Felt as if he was suffocating, never before had he been so nervous in his life and the worst thing was that he didn't understand why his body was reacting in such a way. The boy bit his bottom lip. Tightly closing his eyes. Not even noticing that Komui had finally begun to calmly speak after being threatened a couple of more times. Thus, the only thing that he had been able to hear was the end of the great speech that the supervisor had prepared for this one day.
"… is Kanda-kun."
He opened his eyes almost instantly.
'Ka-Kanda…?'
He wasn't going to look at him. He wasn't going to look at him. He wasn't going to…
"What? Yu-chan will be the father of the baby?" Allen heard Lavi yell again. "It can't be!"
"Is there no error, nii-san?" That was the voice of Lenalee, who had spoken in very low tone.
"There are no errors, Lenalee. We have reviewed the data three times." Johnny clarified before Komui could answer, although lowered his voice almost immediately to be able to continue. "The truth is, we couldn't believe it either."
Again, whispers. He could hear them behind his back. Could listen to the tenuous sound of surprise that had escaped from Miranda. Chaozii was also speaking in a very high voice, although he didn't know very well what was really being said. General Tiedoll sounded very glad for some reason, speaking with Marie of the subject, who could apparently do nothing but agree. The other two Generals did not say anything, not even knowing what they were still doing there.
"Kanda".
Lifting his face the tiniest bit, he was able to see a surprised Lavi staring at somewhere in the back of the room. Lenalee was to his side, with her hands closed into fists near her chest. They were observing him, observing Kanda. All the other exorcists had fixed their gazes on the Japanese. But Allen had not yet decided to rise and face him. He simply couldn't.
"But Kanda and Allen-kun don't…" The Chinese girl paused, before deciding to continue, still speaking in low voice. "how is it possible for them to be compatible?"
"I don't know. I suppose that it's a true mystery of Innocence." Answered the supervisor, with a strange smile over his face.
"Yu-chan is going to kill to the Moyashi before impregnating him!" The apprentice of bookman exclaimed, making a scandal quite much more boisterous then the one that would be the sure to explode around the Order in a couple of moments(courtesy of the same red-haired one, doubtlessly) would be like.
And, although what Lavi had said seemed meant to be taken in as a joke, Allen couldn't help but tremble before those very words. His life and the life of that baby was going to depend to a large extent on the one person who hated him the most in the entire world. The boy swallowed with quite a lot of difficulty.
'It can't be.'
"Sit next to Allen-kun, Kanda-kun."
Once again he trembled. Did Komui not understand that Kanda was going to kill him for having have entangled him in something like this? Although he wasn't really sure if he was the guilty one, but of course Kanda would be able to find an excuse to blame it all on him and kill him. He shrank in the sofa, more uncertain. Of all the exorcists, why did it have to be Kanda? Why precisely him?
"Stop shaking, stupid."
Finally, he raised his gaze completely. Still not noticing that Lenalee had risen to chitchat something with Miranda and that, although he was still there, Lavi had separated himself from him while continuing to talk about all of the bad thing that would come to pass to Allen with Kanda as the father of his baby. And also that Kanda was now seated near him, very closely together. He was looking at him in a penetrating manner, with those dark blue colored eyes (almost black), completely inexpressive. The snow haired one could barely even blink. Trying with all of his strength to not be allowed to be taken in by the anxiety of knowing what would happen in the next nine months with this person. But the samurai spoke to him again, inclining slightly closer to him to whisper without anybody noticing.
"Why so nervous? Are you that afraid of me, Moyashi?"
What? He wasn't afraid of Yu Kanda! He wasn't afraid of this stupid, by all means bitter and presumptuous skilled swordsman. Frowning immediately, he managed to once and for all to lower that damn blush that had accompanied him from almost the very start of the meeting.
"My name is Allen, Bakanda! And I'm not scared of you!"
Everything remained deadly quite after hearing the raised voice of the English throughout the room. He took into account how everybody was looking at him with surprise, and, since when had he gotten up to be able to yell the other exorcist? Carefully returning back to his seat, he laid his hands in front of his legs in an educated manner. Although, since he hadn't dared to return his gaze to his side, he had been unable to see the almost imperceptible smile that Kanda had given him.
Suddenly, Komui cleared his throat, managing to attract the attention of all the others once again.
"Very well, then this mission begins from now on. I will inform the doctors that you are ready, Allen-kun."
"Ready?" He blinked, just realizing that Komui had spoken to him.
"Yes, since we have a father for the baby, we can now place it on your belly. He will be a very pretty boy after all, although it would have been much more so if my Lenalee-chan had been the papa." The supervisor had once again lost himself in his world of silly dreams while the dark blush returned once more to Allen's cheeks. With all of this, he hadn't been able to think with more depth about what it really meant that Kanda was now his mission partner. A unique and exceptional life was going to be born from the union of them both. This was going to irremediably unite them for the rest of their lives although neither of them wanted it.
'I'll have a baby… Kanda's baby.'
"Listen, Moyashi."
"Huh?" Kanda had called him, reason as to why he turned around to be able to see him, although the Japanese indicated that he pay attention towards the front. Johnny had extended out his hand so that he could take it. The English did so, rising.
"Tup will take you to the operating room. Everything will turn out well, Allen-kun." The scientist smiled.
"Ah, by the way, Allen-kun." He turned his head to look at Komui after he had spoken to him again. "We switched your room with another one nearer to Kanda-kun's one so that he can watch over you. In addition, it will be more convenient for you to be near the baths."
He tipped his face. Allen could understood the one about Kanda (although he was embarrassed with just thinking about that), but the other…
"Why do you say that, Komui-san?"
But the Chinese, far from answering him, began to laugh in a rather disturbing manner obtaining for chills to run down Allen's back.
"Have a good day at your intervention, Allen-kun!"
"Eh? Wait a moment, I want to know what you're talking about!"
No, he didn't allow him to stay. The supervisor had practically shamelessly pushed Allen towards Tup and outside of his office. Allen could feel how his head began to hurt him again, he hated how Komui never gave him any complete answers and he knew that he was only doing it to bother him. The last thing he saw of Komui's office (aside from Link leaving the room to calmly follow after him) was that long dark hair. Kanda.
He swallowed. How he detested the reactions of his body at feeling himself blushing again. Softly cursing the Japanese, he allowed himself to be taken by the scientist towards the infirmary again.
-o-o-o-o-o-o-
"You are cruel, nii-san."
Lavi turned around to be able to see the Lee siblings, meeting with an angry Lenalee and a very amused looking Komui. But that had been cruel, surely Allen didn't know anything of the messes that he would soon have to face from now on because of 'that mission'. He smiled, pleased at being able to bother him during those nine months. Although…
"Yu-chan!"
He heard the dark-haired one grunt, managing to cause a smile to bloom in the redhead's face.
"Don't call to me that, stupid rabbit."
"Wah, don't get mad, Yu-chan. You're going to be a father now! Although I would have been a far better daddy for Moyashi-chan's baby. He'll look so pretty with that big bulky belly." Without realizing, Lavi was losing himself in his own small world starting out a sweet little Allen with a tender pregnant tummy. The English embraced him, telling him what a lady's man he was and that their baby was going to be so handsome thanks to having the junior bookman as his papa. Soon the boy pulled away from his body to look at him with his silver-plated eyes, the ones that were big and pretty. A kiss was silently requested of him and the red-haired one wasn't going to deny him, reason as to why he slowly neared his lips to those of the small one …
"You're drooling, stupid imbecile!" The samurai complained, on the verge of kicking him to get him to wake up.
"Yu-chan! You broke my happy bubble!" Sobbed Lavi, in the middle of his personal drama.
"Che. Idiot."
Noticing that Kanda was on the verge of rising, it was the reason as to why he quickly sat down next to the Japanese, who scuffed out some more curses. Lavi continued to smile, entertained.
"Ready for the round of questions, Yu-chan? You have a lot of things to tell me about."
"I have no idea what you're talking about, rabbit."
Kanda had crossed his legs, looking alongside towards the opposite side of where Lavi was sitting at with a gesture of well-known annoyance. But the bookman apprentice wasn't going to give up that easily, oh no he wasn't.
But his call of 'Yuu-chan' was mixed with Komui's 'Kanda-kun', reason why he quickly turned around to look at supervisor. Lenalee was to his side still, with a light blush over her cheeks, something that the red-haired one could not deduce the why of that reddish color.
"Kanda-kun. Lenalee-chan says that she can offer herself in your place if the mission dislikes you." Komui said, very slowly and with a strange gesture of seriousness in him. Ah, that was why the girl appeared that way. "It's obvious that you don't get along the slightest bit with Allen-kun and she would like to… "
"No."
Lavi opened his eyes as much as he could at the same time Lenalee did the same with hers. He wasn't expecting for Kanda to answer like that, so quickly, without pausing to even analyze the situation. After all, Yu said to hate Allen whenever he saw him or when they mentioned the boy, right?
"But Kanda… " The Chinese girl began, in a soft small voice, although she was immediately interrupted.
"I said no. I will be the father of Moyashi's baby. And I don't plan on saying any more on the matter."
The red-haired one watched him rise. Kanda had a hard look on his face and did not seem very happy at having had to hear that offer on part of Lenalee. Lavi began to feel more and more curiosity about what had happened between the Moyashi and Yu that one time that they had left the tower despite the rules of the Order.
"Ah, Kanda-kun, wait a little bit. I still have some indications to give you." Komui asked him, following him as soon as Yu had begun to walk away. The bookman apprentice was on the verge of following them when he saw Lenalee sit down to his side with great grief spelled out in her face. The Chinese had her gaze lost in the ground, her violet eyes reflecting a deep sadness.
"Hey, Lenalee, at least you tried." Lavi laughed, scratching his head.
"It's just that I don't understand it, I…" A pause to swallow, trying to clear her throat. "I only want for Allen-kun not to suffer any more under the eyes of the Commanders. And Kanda, he, well… "
"Come on, I understand. Although you don't have to worry. Perhaps Yu-chan doesn't like the Moyashi even a little bit, but he is really efficient at the time of fulfilling missions. That's probably why he's so reluctant about declining his title as father because for him it would be like resigning from one."
"But Allen-kun will be mother. He's going to need a little affection " Miranda had added to the conversation, although with her customary low voice.
"Come on, girls, don't be sad! Moyashi has us to give him all the affection that he'll need." Lavi exclaimed, embracing the two women. "We will replace the bitter and sour Yu-chan at the time of raising the little one."
Miranda had blushed again (probably thinking about one or another mental image that she had denied with all of her strength before). Lenalee still felt somewhat sad, but even so she smiled amiably at Lavi. The red-haired one realized that the Chinese still felt uncertain, nevertheless, he would show her that they could all be 'papas' of Allen's baby although Yu would be the only biological father. He also noticed Chaozii approaching, as if interested in being part of the group. He smiled with joy. These nine months were going to be extremely amusing.
So concentrated was Lavi with his other companions that he didn't notice that Kanda and Komui were speaking near them under the attentive (although discreet) gaze of the three General's. Komui smiled nervously whereas Kanda still retained that same serious gaze.
"I still can't believe it, Kanda-kun, I really wasn't expecting for you to be the chosen one. You must know that I in no way took part in the result, it's incredible!"
"Che. I know."
No, Lavi did not find out that Kanda had left the room already. And much less about the fact that he had drawn a winning smile across his features after having closed the door.
-o-o-o-o-o-o-
Lenalee animatedly walked by the corridors of the Black Order. She carried some papers between her arms. She also knew that she should be quickly making her way to the scientific section, but it was very early in the morning and she felt a great desire to see Allen. It had been two weeks ever since the small exorcist had begun his special mission. Although he really didn't seem to have changed much, mainly seemed a little bit more sensible to touch. Since every time that the Chinese had tried to embrace him Allen had trembled slightly although in a noticeable manner; something that Lavi had been excessively entertained by, reason as to why he now dedicated himself to embracing Allen everything time he saw him. She smiled. Poor English, he seemed really scared about his body's unknown reactions.
She could also remember the time when the boy had raised his voice asking for everyone to be quiet in the cafeteria, although in fact nobody was making any noise. The English had violently blushed when noticing what he had done and Lenalee had had had to explain that it was normal for him to feel like that due to the hormones that his brother was providing him so that the baby could develop normally. Allen had only looked at her, slightly confused, although he had agreed as if he knew perfectly well what she had said. Apparently the white haired boy didn't want to cause anybody worry, but was obtaining the exact opposite: much more interest on his exorcist companion's part.
Now Allen's room was near Kanda's one, on the last floor of the Order. The youngest of the exorcists had not been very pleased when they had moved him out of his room, because he was used to having the cafeteria close to him for whenever he felt hungry (which was very often). In addition, Komui had ordered that Allen's room should always be open, just in case there was a problem and having complications with locks would only get in the way. And that was another thing that the English had not liked very much. Anyone could enter his room now at any time with the excuse of seeing if he was well. He had childishly complained and Lenalee had not been able to avoid laughing at the infantile display that the boy had done
For that reason she knew that the door to the English's room wouldn't be closed and that she would be able to enter it freely. She would wake Allen up and take him down for breakfast to later continue on explaining the things that Komui hadn't bothered to warn him about. So, when the girl was right in front of that door, she opened it without calling.
"Good morning, Allen-kun! Allen-kun?" The Chinese opened her mouth in surprise. Allen was supported in the endorsement of a chair that was maintained standing on two legs and was using only his right thumb to perform push ups. He was counting: "224, 225, 226" "Allen-kun! Stop that right now!"
"Lenalee? Ah!"
"Allen-kun!"
Irremediably the snow haired boy had ended up in the ground, painfully complaining after having lost his balance.
"I'm sorry!" The girl shouted, although she began to worry even more when seeing how the exorcist rubbed at his forehead with one of his hands to later pull away and discover that he was bleeding. "You're wounded! Let me quickly look for something to stop the bleeding, I…"
"Lenalee, calm down, it's nothing." The boy said, still rubbing his face. He didn't stop bleeding and the Chinese began to really worry now.
"What do you mean it's nothing? You're bleeding! In addition, you're pregnant, you aren't suppose to be doing those type of exercises!" She scolded him, later to turn to her side, looking at Howard Link who was seated on Allen's bed with an expression of complete indifference. "You should have stopped him." Complained the Chinese, angry, although she didn't receive any sort of answer.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know that I wasn't suppose to do that." Allen apologized, lightly biting his bottom lip, seeming truly ashamed of his actions. To Lenalee that vision would have been perfect but for the thin thread of blood that slid from the boy's face down his forehead until it almost reached one of his cheeks. She began to look in between her clothes for a handkerchief that she could hand the boy so he could to clean himself when she heard the door being opened.
"What are you doing in the ground, Moyashi? Ah, you must have fallen off. You really are clumsy."
"Shut up, Bakanda!"
Lenalee lifted her gaze to be met with quite a rare scene. Kanda had helped Allen pick himself up from the floor, although the younger one continued looking at him with anger, something that the other corresponded simultaneously with a cruel and amused glance. She remained quiet, only seeing those two. The Japanese had removed a small handkerchief from his shirt and pressed it down with force over Allen's wound, who had let out a complaint, protesting at the total lack of gentleness on part of the dark haired man. Kanda only limited himself to respond with his characteristic 'Che' while he continued cleaning the blood off the boys face.
She continued to remain still, without moving. Lenalee couldn't believe that she would ever get to see something like this in her life. Then was Kanda actually worried about Allen? Although, no, by the way in which Kanda seemed to be making fun of Allen, the Chinese deduced that he was only causing the boy feel even worse. She swallowed. Poor Allen, to have to support all of that without being able to protest about his luck.
"Huh, Allen-kun."
"Yes?" The one she had called slightly separated himself from Kanda, who had already pulled the piece of cloth away from the English's face when the boy had stopped bleeding.
"Eh, this…" She didn't even know why she had called him. Had only felt it necessary to hear him for some strange reason. The girl watched Allen for a long time, before the boy brought up a hand to his mouth. "Oh…"
Allen had quickly left his room, followed closely after by a wide-awake Timcanpy. Link calmly rose to follow him, leaving both Eastern exorcist looking at the door with incredulity.
"Morning sickness." The girl whispered, while Kanda agreed with seriousness. That was the other reason for which Komui had changed Allen to the top floor and the English had discovered that in quite a disagreeable way. She stared at the ground before deciding to speak to the other present exorcist. "Are you sure you're comfortable with this?"
"Che. Does it matter much?" The Japanese murmured before walking towards the exit. "If the Moyashi comes back tell him that Komui's waiting for him at the infirmary."
She nodded, although Kanda had not deigned himself to look at her to verify that the girl had heard him. She sighed. She knew Kanda very well and knew that Allen definitively wasn't going to have an easy time with him. Two weeks had barely just passed and they already seemed to want to kill each other more and more every day as if the fact that they had conceived a new life together didn't matter in the slightest.
More sighs. A hand was run through her hair while she continued to think.
Poor, poor Allen. Because this was only just the beginning.

We je je Bakanda, you're so smug. I didn't know that you wanted to be the Moyashi's husband that badly (psychotic cackles).
God, that pedophilic rapist is so cute, isn't he? And don't worry, I didn't understand any of that scientific talk either, I actually had to get out my dictionary to look the words up (sweats).
Well, here it is, as promised! I hope you all liked and were as pleased with it as I was, because even Kini-san liked this chappie too.
Well, get ready, because the ratings for adults start next chapter(super perverted smile!), so, yeah, expect some man loving next week.
Hope you enjoyed, and comments are welcomed.
