"I'll take you three to our place then Kanda and Allen can go to Kanda's manor and get settled in." Tyki said, telling the three the plans for the evening. Tyki looked into the setting sunlight and sighed, it would be another half hour before the sun was set enough to venture from the shade of the tree they had been beneath since their arrival. Lavi sat on the sand, attempting to build a sand castle without using a drop of water. He frowned when it toppled once again and Tyki chuckled at the frown.
Tyki kneeled before Lavi and tilted Lavi's head up, kissing the frowning vampire gently.
"I hate to see you pout." Tyki whispered as he pulled away from Lavi, who only blushed remembering there were still people on the beach.
"Can we go yet?" Allen questioned, yawning and stretching as he asked.
"I'm sure it's fine now." Tyki replied, standing and brushing the sand from his jeans.
Tyki led the others through the city and it's bustle. Allen groaned as he was pushed back and forth between the crowd, having his feet stepped on and most people being generally rude as the rushed home. Tyki turned down an allyway and stopped before the dead-end red brick wall.
"This seems far enough from public eyes." Tyki stated pulling a peice of chalk from his pocket. Allen and Lavi looked at Tyki in confusion as he began drawing on the wall. Kanda frowned in rememberance as he watched Tyki draw a circle with complex symbols and patterns inside.
"You going to transmute something, like Edward and all the other alchemists do?" Lavi grinned, looking over Tyki's shoulder. Tyki flicked the chalk at his face and gave a slightly annoyed smile.
"If we run at the wall does it take us to platform 9 3/4?" Allen joked, looking at the complex design on the wall.
"Haha...very funny. If only, its just to bipass the miles between us and our destination. You just step through it and we'll be just outside of the building."
"I want to go first!" Lavi yelled, raising and jumping in place. Tyki sighed and nodded, watching as Lavi walked to the wall and touched it, his hand dissapearing.
"Whoa." Allen and Lavi said in union as Lavi put in arm in further, watching that disappear.
"Will you just walk through the damn thing already?!" Kanda nearly yelled, shoving Lavi's back so he stumbled through the wall.
"You don't have to be so mean." Allen lectured, crossing his arms and looking at Kanda with dissapointment
"Just walk through the wall. Now." Kanda replied, turning Allen so he faced the wall. Allen grumbled and stepped through the gateway, followed by Kanda and Tyki who quickly closed the portal once everyone was through.
Allen and Lavi stood, mouth agape as they tried to take in the large stone building before them. Lavi held on to the metal bars that seperated him and the building, which he wanted to enter so badly because of the thought of the large library that might be inside.
"Let's go! Let's go!" Lavi yelled as he turned to watch the two walk slowly up the incline to the main gates.
"Open the gate, Tyki! Its locked, open the gate!" Lavi stated excitedly, rattling the gates making the hinges squeak as they moved.
Tyki sighed and pulled out a key from his pocket. He put it into the padlock and it groaned as the mechanisim inside turned. Tyki dropped the lock and the chains that followed, allowing the gate to swing open.
"I'll take you guys to see Road, get you better crystals, those are going to stop working soon. They've been through alot." Tyki stated as he led everyone up the stone path that led to what could be called a manor.
Tyki kicked open the door and stepped inside with a gleeful smile.
"Road! Are you here?!" Tyki yelled, cupping his hands around his mouth trying to make his voice louder.
"Stop being so loud, Tyki. SOME people just woke up." A voice responded and everyone looked up to seem a small girl sitting at the top of the stairs. Allen stepped back remembering the voice. That girly voice that seemed sweet but was actually coated in wicked thoughts and deeds.
"He's back~ He's back~" Two sang, as they walked towards the four. Allen stepped back even more as the blonde and black hair brothers neared, holding guns to eachothers heads and smirking.
"What's wrong, Allen?" Kanda asked, putting a hand on Allen's shoulder to get his attention. Allen jumped at the touch and frowned.
"N-Nothing, let's just hurry up and leave this place." Allen replied nervously and Kanda nodded.
"They need new crystals, Road. Do you think you could get them some?" Tyki asked as Road slid down the railing, jumping off and landing before Tyki's feet.
"Sure thing, but I'm hungry, will you go find someone for me." Road replied
"What? No, I just got here. Have Jasdero or Devit go get you someone!"
"No no no no no~" Jasdero sang in the background
"No way, Tyki, Road asked you to go get her someone! Not us, you go!" Devit stated, poking the tip of Tyki's nose repeativly.
"You go~ You go~ You go~"
"I did ask you Tyki." Road reminded and Tyki turned on his heal, grumbling.
"Get them their crystals,show them around and all that." Tyki instructed opening the front door once more.
"Uh-Huh. Bye Tyki." Road called, rocking back on he heels. Allen glimpsed Tyki's middle finger as he closed the door and Road scoffed in annoyance.
"I'll get you those crystals, show you around, then we can watch these two idiots shoot eachother in the head. Sound like a plan?"
"I guess..." Allen replied, looking to the floor not wanting the three strangers to see the fear in his eyes.
