Anna woke up in an unfamiliar place, she looked around and saw Lisa laying next to her, the room itself had no windows, a desk, a dresser, a door that hopefully led to the bathroom, a full size bed that she was currently occupying, and a painting with the Yin and Yang on it.
"Heh…. How ironic…." Anna muttered to herself, she got out of the bed silently, she walked over to the dresser and pulled out a black and red miniskirt, a black button up shirt, and knee high (you guessed it) red socks. She went to the door that did in fact lead to the bathroom; she walked inside and quickly changed. When she walked back out she saw Lisa sitting up still half asleep.
"Anna….?" She asked softly. Anna snuck up behind Lisa and grabbed her shoulders.
"Good Morning sleepyhead!!" Anna started laughing when Lisa jumped.
"Anna don't scare me like that!!" Lisa said relieved that it was only Anna.
"Aww…. But its fun!" Anna whined, the door suddenly burst open and Lavi stepped in, a crude knife embedded itself into the door frame mere centimeters from his head.
"Whoa…. Okay I'm not here to fight you! I just came to show you around Headquarters!!" Lavi said with his hands up. Anna's eyes were dark and dangerous looking. Allen walked in, pushing Lavi out of the way in the process.
"Anna calm down, seriously we just came to show you two around!" Allen said walking towards the girl. Lisa stood up and stopped Allen from getting any closer.
"Okay…. Just let me change and we'll be right out!!" Lisa said while pushing the two out of the room, she locked the door once it shut. Anna sighed and sat on the floor, she started to rub her temples. "Anna are you okay?"
"I'm fine…. There are some clothes in the dresser; the bathroom is right through that door." Anna said. Lisa nodded and pulled out black pants, a white button up shirt, and gray socks, she then went to the bathroom to change, once her clothes were on Lisa walked back out.
"Look…. They even gave us shoes…." She said looking at the two pairs, one pair were black boots that went with Anna's outfit, and the other pair was a simple pair of sneakers. Anna got up and pulled the boots on, they went all the way up to her knees and were tight, and Lisa also pulled on her shoes. Anna got up and opened the door, Lavi and Allen had obviously been talking and stopped when Anna stepped out with Lisa behind her.
"Nice outfit Anna!!" Lavi said, he received a scary glare that would make anyone else drop dead.
"Shut it baka usagi!!" Anna grimaced.
"Well are you guys going to show us around??" Lisa said breaking the silence that had followed Anna's words.
"Yeah, we are…. This way…." Allen said calmly while slowly walking down the hallway, everyone close behind him. They walked past the training halls, through the library, past the several science rooms, hurried quickly past Komui's hallway, and finally arrived at the cafeteria.
"Finally…. Breakfast!!" Anna said happily. She followed Allen who went up to Jerry to order, he order such a large amount of food it was ridiculous to all who weren't used to it. "Your appetite hasn't changed one bit has it Allen?"
"Nope not at all!!" Allen said carefully taking the tray stacked high with food over to a table.
"Hi are you new here honey?" Jerry asked.
"Yes I am…. My name is Anna and this is Lisa!" Anna said with a sweet smile on her face.
"Aww, so cute….now what can I get for you sugar?"
"Umm…. Just several Fuji apples please!!" Anna said, Jerry nodded and came back with a plate of Fuji apples.
"Here you go…."
"Thank you!" Anna said as she stepped back so Lisa could order.
"Umm, one of every fruit and vegetable please!!" Lisa said. Jerry got a plate filled with fruits and veggies and gave it to her, both went to sit down, Anna next to Allen and Lisa between Lavi and Anna, Kanda and Lenalee were across from them. Reever then walked in and walked over to the table Anna and Lisa were seated at.
"Um…. Komui needs to see Kanda, Lavi, Allen, Anna and Lisa in his office now…." He said quickly before walking away. Kanda and Anna sighed at the same time and continued to freak everyone out by saying.
"What does that crazy guy want now….?" Kanda and Anna looked at each other; Anna clearly blushed a deep red.
"Hey Ponytail don't speak at the same time as me!!" Anna said to quickly cover up her blush.
"Well…." Kanda said with no reply for once, he stood up and stalked out of the cafeteria.
"Wow, you made Yuu speechless Anna, you're my hero!!" Lavi said trying to hug Anna tightly, Anna glared at him and he backed off.
"We should get going now…. See you later Lenalee!!" Allen said standing up; Anna, Lisa and Lavi followed him. The three of them talked all the way to Komui's office where Kanda was already waiting.
"Komui why did you need us?" Lavi asked shutting the door.
"I have a mission, actually two missions…. One in Italy and the other in Japan…." Komui said. Anna quickly sat down.
"Italy….and Japan…." She said quietly as Lisa sat next to her.
"Yes…. In Italy you need to collect some innocence, and in Japan you need to kill several Akuma that have been disturbing the Tokyo area!" Komui said.
"Alright, then lets get going!!" Anna said quickly so she could get out of the room.
"Wait, you and Lisa need your uniforms, I have them right here." Komui pulled out two outfits. One was all black and red, it had a mini skirt and a long sleeve top with a v-neck, the other was black and silver with pants and a long sleeve top with a regular neck. He gave the one with the skirt to Anna and the other to Lisa. "Go and change quickly and then come back….!" Komui said ushering them out of the room, once the door shut he turned to the three remaining boys.
"Why the face Komui?" Lavi asked.
"I need you three to really study and learn everything you can about those two girls, the mission in Japan is very dangerous which is why you are going there after Italy, there have been several reports of Noah's in Tokyo and surrounding towns. One witness said that they were talking about creating a 15th Noah…. They may already have one, so if they do please be careful. Allen I know you wont have any trouble with protecting them…. But Kanda and Lavi please protect them!! They could be the biggest force on the front lines if they are together and are trained properly, if they don't live up to expectations, the Vatican will have Rouvelier take over their training!" Komui said.
"Alright, we promise to look after them and train them!!" Lavi said and Kanda nodded in agreement.
"Do I really have to wear this….?" Anna said walking in with her new uniform on, it showed several area's of skin, mostly her legs and chest, seeing as the v-neck was a ridiculously deep one. Lavi looked about ready to kiss her.
"Kawai!!" He said like a puppy in love. Lisa walked in behind Anna, despite the lack of skin showing the uniform looked amazing on her, which only made Lavi drool even more.
"Komui is Anna's uniform really going to be that!?!" Allen said in shock.
"Yes Allen-Kun it is….!" Komui said. "Now don't you start being an overprotective fool!!"
"I won't…. I just don't think it's appropriate for a fourteen year old…." Allen muttered. Kanda had been staring at Anna silently, but was caught when Anna felt someone looking at her.
"You like what you see Kanda!?!" Anna teased; everyone looked at the Asian in shock.
"It's a miracle!! Yuu has fallen in love!!" Lavi said, earning a glare from Kanda.
"Shut it Baka Usagi!!" Kanda stood up and walked right past everyone and out of the room. "Well let's go we have a long journey!!" Everyone nodded and followed Kanda out of the room, suddenly Komui grabbed Anna and shut the door softly, and he pushed her against a wall and gripped her arms tight enough that they would bruise later.
"Komui…. Itai….that hurts!!" She said she was about to scream when one hand covered her mouth.
"Shut it bitch!! I want you to leave Lenalee alone, or you can just die in Japan where all your bad memories are!!" Komui said darkly, Anna started to struggle against Komui's shockingly strong grip; she started to get really scared. "And if you do come back and you don't leave her alone, I'll make sure that Rouvelier takes you away for training so he can break you!!" He growled.
Outside several feet away and down a floor, Lisa fell to her knees panting.
"Anna…something's happening to Anna!!" Lisa said.
"Calm down Lisa, she's only with Komui…." Lavi said. There was a gust of wind as Kanda and Allen raced back to Komui's office. "Here let me help you up…." Lavi said picking up Lisa bridal style.
"You don't have to do that!!" Lisa said shocked.
Allen and Kanda burst back into Komui's office, where they saw Komui pinning Anna to the wall, one hand over her mouth, and the other holding her hands, Anna had fear radiating off of her and was visible on her eyes and her shaking.
"KOMUI BACK OFF OF HER!!" The two Exorcist's yelled at the same time, causing Komui to jump and run out of the room screaming Lenalee's name. Anna had fallen to her knees as soon as he let go of her, she was panting and tears were in her eyes.
"Anna are you okay?" Allen said kneeling down next to her; he lifted up her head and wiped away the few tears that had escaped.
"I'm fine…. He didn't do anything!! Now lets hurry, or we'll be late!!" She said quickly while standing up. Kanda was extremely pissed; he would kill Komui when he came back for causing Anna such fear and pain. The three of them ran out of the room and ran back to Lavi and Lisa; both were standing and leaning on the rail.
"Anna, are you okay?" Lisa asked hugging the taller girl.
"I'm fine Lis, now let's get going!!" Anna said pulling Lisa towards the three boys who had walked ahead and were telling Lavi what had happened.
They all got on the train Kanda's way of course, once on, they were led to their compartment and settled in. Anna sat by the window and Kanda sat across from her, Allen was next to Lisa who was next to Anna, and Lavi was across from Allen.
"I am exhausted…. When do we arrive in Italy?" Lisa asked.
"We'll be there tomorrow morning…." Lavi said yawning, he soon fell asleep afterwards, and Lisa and Allen also fell asleep quickly. Anna and Kanda were up, finally Kanda went to sleep, or so it appeared. Anna got up and silently left the compartment, shutting the sliding door softly behind her, she walked down the corridor silently like a ghost until she arrived at the back of the train, she looked up at the stars and tears appeared in her eyes, she fell to her knees and her hands gripped the bars in front of her so tightly blood started dripping down from her hands.
"Why Japan….why Italy…." She whispered to herself.
Kanda opened his eyes as soon as he heard the door slid shut, he sat up and followed Anna down the corridor, he watched her until she fell to her knees and blood was dripping down her hands. He walked over to her and put an arm over her shoulders.
"Hey are you okay?" He asked.
"I'm fine Kanda…." She said looking into his beautiful cobalt eyes.
"No you aren't…. please tell me what's wrong!" Kanda insisted.
"Fine I'm not!! What do you want me to tell you!!?" Anna said, the bars in her grip started to vibrate and ring like they were about to shatter, he placed his hands over hers and he felt the vibrating stop.
"You don't have to tell me anything, but I would like to know more about you, more then what you told us in Komui's office…." Kanda said.
"Why….?" Anna asked.
"Because…. I like you and I want to know you better, more so then your cousin and best friend will ever know!!" Kanda said, he pull her into an embrace. Anna was shocked; from what she had been told by Allen Kanda didn't just confess his emotions and hug someone, at least not around Allen anyways. But nonetheless Anna hugged him back and looked up at him, his cobalt eyes were looking down into her eyes.
"Why are you doing this?" She asked quietly.
"Because…. I already told you, I'm not going to repeat myself!!" Kanda whispered while leaning in closer to her.
"I'll tell you something about me…. I'm falling for you….falling head over heels!!" Anna confessed and she suddenly pulled away. "But you're what 18…. I'm only 14!!"
"Age is but a number…." Kanda murmured.
"No, its wrong!!" Anna said.
"Then will this make it right?" Kanda asked, he suddenly pulled her close to him and he kissed her, a long passionate kiss that was filled with his feelings for her. After a minute Anna kissed him back, putting all her emotions into the kiss. After what seemed like forever they pulled back, both flushed and slightly gasping for breath.
"We barely know each other…." Anna whispered as Kanda hugged her tightly, she rested her head on his chest and for once she felt safe.
"Then I guess we'll just have to get to know each other now….!!" Kanda said slightly pleased with himself, to him it just felt right holding her close like this.
Shiki: Rima I cant believe you wrote this mushy stuff!! And Kanda was totally out of character!!
Rima: Shiki shut up!! I worked hard on this and I think it was really sweet!! Maybe their relationship was a bit rushed, but once I started typing things just started to unfold…. And I'm not going to change it!! Next chapter they arrive in Italy, and Lisa and Anna both remember happy and horrible things from their past!! Until next time!!
