Chapter 27
Kanda's Needed Distraction
It's a little rushed and random. Just thought I'd come up with something and try this despite it's commoness. Please review. Thanks!
Kumari knocked on a big brown door and a girl opened it. She looked her up and down, a smile upon her face. "Kumari!" she shouted as she hugged her.
"Hey Rocky. How you doing?" Kumari asked, laughing at her childish behavior.
"Where have you been? You've been gone for almost two years!" Rocky shouted.
"I've been around." Kumari muttered.
"Did you say Kumari, Rocky? As in our Kumari? The Kumari?" a boy asked.
"Hey Mickey." Kumari said, waving.
He grabbed her shirt and pulled the two girls in the big hotel room. A lot of people stared at them and then ran over, hugging her. "Kumari!" they cheered gleefully.
They all sat down around the room as Kumari was placed in a chair in the middle of the room. About eight, maybe ten, kids around her age stared at her. She smiled and waved as they all looked at her with weird looks. "Where the hell have you been?" Mickey questioned.
"Around. Here and there. London, Belgium, Peru, Regillion, all over." Kumari answered.
"We know about London. You ditched us there." another boy said.
"Yeah, yeah!" a girl agreed with Rocky and two others.
"Where did you go? Why did you leave?" Mickey asked.
"I'm sorry. I didn't want to go at first, but I was forced to." Kuamri said.
"Forced to? By who?" a girl asked.
"Willow, a little overdramtic." kumari said with her hands in front of her face.
"Just answer the damn question." Willow barked.
"Okay, okay. An old friend of mine. He was being a huge jackass and practically kidnapped me. Long story." Kumari said.
Mickey stared at her finger when he saw a silver glint. He grabbed her hand and his mouth dropped to the floor. "Y- y- y- y- you're engaged!" Mickey stammered.
"WHAT?"
Kumari blushed as everyone got in her face. She laughed nervously and rubbed the back of her head. She wasn't planning on telling them. "To who!" Rocky shouted.
Kuamri coughed into her fist and stared out the window dully. "Rockell, Willow, Hyyori, Mickey, Brex, Hedo, Aqua, Ulqui, Rondo, and Marene." Kumari said seriously.
"Yes?" they asked, curious.
"I was wondering if I could travel around with oyu guys again? I don't even have to perform, but I need to figure out what I'm going to do for now. I sorta lost a big job that I really needed and have nowhere to go." Kuamri said.
They all fell on the floor. They knew she changed the subject on purpose and didn't like that. "Well, of course!" Marene said.
"So, who's the fellow you're engaged to?" Ulqui asked, staring at her finger.
"You wouldn't like him." Kumari said, ignoring the answer.
"You're not ashamed of him, are you?" Brex queried.
"Hell no. I love him." Kumari responded.
"Then speak up girl." Hyori ordered.
"I don't think I should tell you about him because you may never meet him." Kumari said.
"Who cares? You're engaged. I wanna know who he is." Rocky said. "Oh, and don't call me Rockell again."
"It's your name." Kumari told her.
"I know. Now, the boy. Who is the boy?" Rocky questioned.
"Yuu Kanda." Kumari answered.
"That's a weird name." Ulqui said.
"SO is Ulqui." Kumari retorted.
"That's because it's an idian name in my bloodline." Ulqui defended.
"Yuu's name is japanese like mine." Kumari said.
"You're Japanese?" Hedo asked.
"Yes. Japanese and Irish. Weird mix, but I am. Mostly japanese though." Kumari responded.
"Huh. So that's what a japanese looks like. You never know since no one comes from Japan anymore. Rarely." Willow responded.
"Is he cute?" Rocky asked.
"Do we seriously have to talk about this?" Kumari questioned.
All the girls looked at each other then her. "Yes!"
"Speaking of which, why aren't you with him? Is hge here or something?" Mickey asked.
"No. I won't see him for awhile. It's a long story and I really don't want to talk about it. I miss him already and. . . . . . . I miss Yuu." Kumari said softly and depressingly.
"Uhhhhh, how 'bout dinner guys?" Hyori asked, trying to change the mood. "What should we have?"
Black Order. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Kanda sneezed and opened his eyes. He was trying to meditate, but he couldn't. Kumari kept coming to mind and he needed to find a way to get over her. He needed some kind of distraction. ANything will do as long as he could get rid of the pain in his chest. Did she really have to leave? Will she come back? He hoped so. He didn't want to admit it, but he missed her. The tears that had fallen when she left came out on their own and ever since he seemed a little emotional. Well, mentally. Like hell he would show it, but everytime he walks by someone they give him a weird glance. A sorrowful or pity filled looked. He didn't need their apologectic faces. He didn't need their pathetic pity!
Kanda grumbled as he stood up and put mugen around his waist. He walked down the halls and people kept glancing at him. It was infuriating him. It's been awhile and they won't get over it. He stomped forward and found himself in the training room, praticing with mugen. He lunged at the wall and practiced movements, tactics. The pressure on the walls and floor was getting so immense that they started cracking and would break soon. He accidently broke a pillar and then started to fly into Lavi at the doorway. He panicked as Kanda stopped mugen just in time from piercing his head. Lavi gulped as he stepped back. He didn't even do anything this time.
Kanda jumped backwards and stared at Lavi, Lenalee, Marie, and Allen. Tiedoll came into sight and Kanda turned his head away from them. They stared at him as he turned around and continued to practice without a sparing partner. Normally it would be Kumari and that put a frown on their faces. They missed her deeply. The memories from the party kept replaying in their head until they got to the end where Kumari ran out, crying and leaving Kanda's side. Kanda grounded his teeth on each other and he destroyed another pillar by accident and he lunged forward again, but an image of Kumari smiling and waving came to mind. He froze in a fierce pose and shut his eyes. His hands shook and mugen trembled along with them. He sheathed mugen and started leaving. "Kanda." Lenalee said, raising her hand and taking a step forward.
Kanda stopped and turned his head just a little bit. You couldn't even see his eyes. "What?" Kanda asked rudely.
Lenalee let her hand drop and looked away from him. She knew he didn't want or need anyone's concern. If she asked if he was alright he would just lie or say his famous tch, che thing and leave. "Nothing." Lenalee said softly. "It's nothing."
Lavi put a hand on her shoulder and smiled. She looked at him and Kanda walked away, scowling. "Yuu will be fine. He is just going through a tough time. He'll miss her, but he knows this was the best decision she could've made. SHe's safer out there and on the run then here. Besides, like she said, she has answers to find and she'll be back." Lavi told her.
"It's just like before, but we know she's safe. Well, not entirely, but she's alive and. . . and it's like before. He is acting just like he did when he thought Kumari died." Lenalee said, clearly worried.
"He took her departure rather hard Lenalee. He even cried. He will be fine. He's a tough cookie." Lavi said, but it didn't make Lenalee feel any better and she watch Kanda turn the corner.
"What he needs is a friendly distraction." Tiedoll said.
"What do you mean?" Lenalee asked.
"You tell me." Tiedoll said as he walked off.
"A friendly distraction? What's a friendly distraction?" Allen asked, tipping his head slightly.
Lavi looked at Allen then at Lenalee. Lenalee stared at Lavi and saw a mischievious looked in his eye."Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Lavi asked.
"We're not dressing Allen up as a girl and have them fight each other or whatever else he could do dressed as a girl." Lenalee said.
"What?" Allen asked.
"Dang it." Lavi said.
"You were really thinking that!" Allen shouted.
"Well, you have to admit, with those legs you'll look good in a skirt. A bit of make up and a little remodeling." Lavi said, lifting Allen's pant leg.
"Lavi!" Lenalee shouted, but she was trying not to laugh.
Allen whacked Lavi and Lavi laughed, wiping away a tear of laughter. Marie shook his head as he walked off, not wanting to know what they were planning. "Actually, I think I have a good idea with a distraction." Lenalee said.
The two boys looked at her and she smiled warmly. They soon found themselves standing in front of Komui and they glanced at each other. "Lenalee, what are we doing here?" Lavi whispered in her ear.
"One of Komui's experiments would be a perfect distraction, yes?" Lenalee asked.
"Are you trying to get us killed? We need a distraction not a death wish." Allen responded.
"A distraction you say? For Kanda I assume?" Komui said.
"WOuldn't a mission do just fine?" Lavi asked nervously, normall content with this, but with Kanda like this? No way!
Komui smirked and laughed like a madman. "I have the perfect thing." Komui said and Lavi and Allen didn't like where this was going.
Lavi swallowed a lump in his throat and stared at Kanda from the corner. He was suppose to slip one of Komui potions in his drink, but he didn't know what it would do and why he was doing it. If he got caught he would surely die. He walked over to Kanda and sat down beside him after he got his own drink and made sure he got the same thing Kanda did. He had poured Komui's potion into his though. Kanda glanced at him as Lavi stard at him, smiling and annoyed Kanda. When he made sure it was safe to he switched his drink with Kanda's before Kanda could get mugen out and ran away, but not too far. ONly next to Allen, Lenalee, and with the other exorcists. "Lavi, what did you just do?" Krowley asked.
Lavi stared at Kanda as he picked up his drink and started gulping it down. Lenalee and Allen glanced at each other and cross their fingers, praying it wasn't something too terrible. The three ignored their other friends and eyed Kanda who was starting to twitch then glowed. Everyone turned their heads and covered their mouths from laughing at Kanda who now had cat ears and a tail. Lavi grinned, but Kanda glowed again. Everyone blinked and blinked, rubbed their eyes and couldn't believe what they saw. "Oh shit. We're dead." Lavi said.
"Damn it Lenalee. You had to go to Komui!" Allen hissed, panicking.
"Why didn't you ask what it did?" Lenalee asked.
"We did. Komui wouldn't tell us!" Allen responded.
"Well, Kanda won't be mad at you or me. Just Lavi and Komui. Afterall, Lavi gave him the potion." Lenalee said, shrugging and waving her hand around.
"What? You tricked me!" Lavi said.
Kanda felt weird and he looked at himself the best he could and his eyes widened. He felt the top of his head and grabbed the tail. He twitched and then realized something. He was no longer a he, but a she. He touched his chest and his eyes got ready to pop out of his head. He grabbed mugen and turned around, remembering Lavi coming over to him with the same drink. He tunred around and glared at Lavi icily. "RABBBBBBIIIIIIITTTTT!" Kanda shouted.
Lavi went stalk white and turned his head back around. Everyone abadoned him at the table and he was ready to cry when Kanda broke the table. "Wh- what K- Kanda! It wasn't my f-fault!" Lavi stuttered, backing away from him.
Lavi his another table and all the finders adn scientists left it. A small glass vile slipped form his pocket and rolled over to Kanda's feet. Kanda crushed it and Lavi screamed as he ran down the hall with a dark, evil Kanda chasing. "KOMUIIIIII! !" Lavi cried.
"Lenalee, you're so evil." Allen said.
Kanda chased Lavi and Lavi screamed, dodging the best he could until he ran into Komui. Komui looked at him casually then at Kanda. He laughed. "I guess you're now Yuuki Kanda." Komui said.
Kanda held his sword to their throats and glared at them. "Change me back!" Kanda ordered.
"You'll change back in due time. Until then, you'll have to deal with this. You have seventy two hours. No potion or experiments will change you back. Only time." Komui told him.
Kanda stared at Komui darkly and after so long he put mugen away and he- uh- she walked away, storming off and everyone moving out of Kanda's way. Komui smirked and chuckled. Lavi whistled and smiled. "Wow. WHo'd think Kanda would make one finde woman! He's a babe!" Lavi said and Komui looked at him strangely. "What? He's a chick now. I can admire that, can't I?"
"You're gross Lavi." Komui said and walked off.
"It was a joke!" Lavi shouted.
"How sad." Komui mumbled.
"I wasn't the one that changed him into a girl!" Lavi shouted.
"You're the one that gave him the potion." Komui retorted.
"Damn him." Lavi muttered.
