Lunny: This may be a shorter chapter than the past two, but the past two were freaking monsters! Where the hell is the plot bunny for this?
Cold & Solarius: *hides burlap sack behind themselves*
Lunny: . What are you two doing?
Cold: Getting along?
Lunny: Bullshit…you two release that poor bunny right now, before I give it a mini-Mugen…
Cold: Damn…*tugs sack away from Solarius*
Solarius: Damn…
Lunny: Don't own, never will because it's just that epic…*holds bunny with red pentangle on its forehead; mini-Mugen and finders coat on* I own this cutie though!
Chapter 5
Training and Discovery
October 26: Sunday
5:00pm- Black Order Boarding School
"I'M BORED!" Lavi yelled, Alma sighed. Kanda resting on the grass between Allen and Alma opened one eye, hissed low and then closed his eye again. Allen, was reading a book, pushed his reading glasses up to stifle a chuckle. Alma, who was carving a figure from a block of wood, chuckled.
Glancing at the two next to him, Alma could only smirk. Allen was leaning against the tree that overshadowed their little group. Kanda's head was resting on the grass by Alma's side while his feet were underneath Allen's crossed legs. Mugen laid over both, the hilt on Kanda's midriff, the length of the sword on Allen's legs, additionally; Allen's bag with Kanda's was acting as Kanda's pillow, while Kanda's coat was covering Allen's shoulders. Rascal lay across Kanda's chest softly purring. At seeing that, Alma knew Allen was taken…even if neither party knew it yet.
"Ally-chan…Yuu-chan! I wanna play!" Alma paused in carving to look at the two resting beside him. Allen had calmly taken off his glasses and placed them on top of his book in the grass. Kanda moved Rascal next to the book and moved to be holding Mugen. The two looked at one another and shared a smirk. Alma knew this couldn't be good.
"So, baka usagi, you wanna play?" Kanda said, moving Mugen to the side.
"We'll play…" Allen finished, setting Kanda's coat on the grass.
Alma blinked and the two were gone, hearing a 'Yahoo', his head shot up to watch as Allen and Kanda seemingly tag-teamed up against a now partial werewolf, Lavi. Looking down to a disgruntled Rascal he smiled and petted the cat. As dusk fell Alma was paritialy done with his carving. It was of Rascal in his panther form. Arystar walked forward, spotting his long time crush, Alma. Pushing up his glassed and picking up his courage; the vampire approached.
"Alma."
"Hey, Ari! Care to sit?"
Arystar sat, lifting Rascal and settling the cat in his lap, feeling a cold wind he brought his cloak around Alma, perfectly bringing the devil closer to him. (A/N: Uh, this pairing is totally for fic purposes! And yes, Arystar has glasses in my fic…and an Allen plus reading glass is CUTE!) Rascal looked up at the two as they started to discuss school stuff.
"Sweet, Allen!"
The trio looked over as Allen staggered back from what looked to be a…canon on his left arm.
"That is his left arm!" Alma muttered in a hushed tone. Rascal blinked and found that this generation just got a lot more interesting. Kanda looked taken aback, Allen blinked.
==Focus and I will change…==
"Huh?"
==Focus, Allen…==
Allen found that if he focused the canon shifted into a laser sword.
"WHOOT! Allen's a Jedi!"
Alma facepalmed.
-LAVI!-
"Baka usagi…" Kanda growled, Arystar and Alma mentally agreed.
"What? Oh, come on! At least I haven't called Yuu-chan what I've been dying to call him since I saw that he had honest to god bat wings!"
Allen's head snapped to Kanda.
"You have wings?" he asked, skeptically.
"Che, only the ruler's in my family have those wings…it shows I'm the next in line after my Father." Kanda stated as if it was nothing. Allen was curious.
"Maybe, one day you'll let me see them."
"Maybe in your dreams, Moyashi."
"Ugh, it's Allen, BaKanda!"
"Whatever, Moyashi lets test out what your scythe can do now…" Kanda said walking to the training grounds. Allen reluctantly followed, grumbling all the way there. His arm deactivated for now.
Alma and the others watched them go. Looking back to Lavi the devil sighed.
"And what pray tell is the name that you have been dying to call, Yuu?"
"The Goddamn Batman!" Lavi said, grinning.
Rascal sweatdropped, Arystar sighed heavily. Alma could only laugh his ass off.
During training Kanda noticed that Allen barely looked at him. That for some reason pissed him off a little.
Just a little.
"Oi, Moyashi!"
"What?" Allen snapped, not meeting Kanda's eye. The teen then took a few steps back as he was suddenly eye-to-eye with a very pissed vamp. Allen gulped.
"Were his eyes always that bright?" Allen asked himself.
"What the hell is your deal?" Kanda asked walking forward. Allen backed up until he was back-to-back with a tree. Realizing this he felt trapped and…oh hell no…he was not aroused at this situation…no, not at all.
Was he?
Kanda had placed both hands on either side of, Allen's head. Mentally beating himself because he knew what this looked like. Yes, he knew that if Lavi or…god forbid…Alma decided to make sure they weren't killing each other…shit would hit the fan. He also wanted to know why the hell his Moyashi was blushing and not pushing him away…
Fate can be a real bitch at times…
Rascal sat on a branch overlooking the current scene. He led the two idiots, Lavi and Alma, to a different area…
-One that would take them an hour to find and two to get back. - He smirked to himself, proud.
Allen felt the heat in his cheeks and his blood started to rage. Kanda felt the need to bite him…wondering why; neither noticed that Allen had tilted his head to the left or that Kanda was leaning in. Until, Allen winced and his right hand clutched his now pulsing left arm. Kanda pulled back and looked down. Allen missed the warmth that seemed to generate from the closeness.
"Your bloods are fighting again…" Kanda stated.
"Y-Yeah, Mr. Sokalo said that I needed a personal vampire…because only a vampire can drink a shinigami's blood."
Kanda growled, hearing the growl which sounded…possessive…Allen shivered. Allen's head was still tilted; Kanda brought up his hand to stroke Allen's cheek and then tangled his fingers in snow white hair at the back of Allen's head. Allen's breathing came in short gasps as he felt Kanda move his shirt and pierce the bite marks from the first feeding. Rascal noticed that the marks never really healed and mentally tallied.
-That's two for the cat, Zip for the ancestors.-
Kanda leaned into Allen, drawing the younger closer. Allen wanted to meld his body with the vampire; at that moment Allen and Kanda both knew three things were true.
They both had fallen in love and fast with the person they were currently with…now, they only needed to confess…that was going to be hard
Alma was never touching Allen again; but he would still be one of Kanda's best friends
Rascal was watching and they were going to skin the damn cat…that or turn him into a hat
Kanda pulled away, shuddering with pleasure. Allen leaned against the broad chest trying to steady his breathing. Rascal raised an unseen eyebrow and jumped with bright blue eyes glared at him. Taking the hint, the smart feline took off. After licking the wounds closed Kanda gently sat Allen against the tree.
"Got to admit, Moyashi, your blood is the tastiest I've ever had. I'll be your personal vampire, just so that no one else partakes of that priceless meal." He said and then walked away, before he could do more than take his blood…
Allen felt a pang of sadness, "So, I'm a good meal to him…that's fine…as long as I'm something he wants…even if it's not what I desire to be."
7:45pm- The Ark
Neah Noah leaned back and listened as Wisely and the twins started up another argument on who would lead the first attack. The Earl had said that they would attack when Lero was fully healed and when they would be at their strongest; Halloween.
"We wanna lead it!" Jesdero whined, his twin aiming his golden gun at a nearby Akuma that shook its head at Jesdero's antics. Laughing at the terrified expression Devit lowered the gun, but pulled out a black one and shot the Akuma between the eyes. Both twins laughed like idiots and held one another for support. Wisely sighed and pulled them apart.
"I don't want to witness the love you two have for each other…and besides, isn't that a little sick, your twins!"
"So?" Devit asked, plopping back against a pile of pillows. His twin plopping down between his outstretched legs. Devit twirled a lock of Jesdero's blonde hair, smirking. Wisely, who could read minds, gagged and walked away. Collapsing in the armchair next to Neah grumbling. The elder Noah smiled warmly at Wisely.
"Don't start you two…" Lero said, walking out of the shadows. The twins both popped up, as did Wisely and Neah all four with concern on their faces. Lero held up his uninjured right hand. The left arm was bandaged and in a sling for the time being.
"What happened?" Jesdero whined, the family hasn't see Lero since he was wounded until that morning. It had been pretty much two whole weeks since the Noah had seen their personal assassin. Lero smiled pale skin a stark contrast to the Noah tan as Devit felt his forehead. Neah gently led the assassin to the armchair that he was occupying. Lero sank into it, grateful for the members that actually gave a damn. The Earl and Road both wanted him to go out and scout. Remembering Allen, Lero grabbed Neah's sleeve.
"We need to talk…you're the only one I can trust with this."
Neah laid a hand on top of Lero's and realized that the younger was trembling.
"Leave." He spoke only one word. Wisely and the twins shivering with fear, fled.
"There's a Halfling at that school…The Earl saw him through me. He's a Walker. I don't want the past to repeat, Neah. I still remember the screams…"
Neah's expression was unreadable as Lero confided in him. Placing a cool hand against the now feverish demon, he sighed.
"You won't be well enough to take part of the first attack. Your wound was poisoned…wasn't it." His voice was gentle.
"I forgot about Tarsus' poison. It was foolish of me to engage him when I was clearly outclassed." Lero scoffed.
"Lero, you only did what you were ordered." Neah words were calm and even.
"What I was ordered…sometimes I hate being who I am…but, then there are other times that I love this family." Lero said leaning back and closing his eyes. They shot open as Neah leaned over him and placed cool lips against his warm ones. Lero felt coolness and Neah pulled back, smiling.
"There, now the poison will leave quicker and you can help your beloved family in the first attack." He said, straightening and walking away. Lero touched his lips and blushed.
"Thank you, Neah."
In the shadows Cyril, Lulu, Jesdero and Devit handed Wisely $20…each.
Off to the side Tyki smirked knowingly.
9pm- Black Order Boarding School
Allen and Kanda returned to their room, both had trained to their limit. Which, Allen ruefully admitted, mistakenly outloud, that Kanda could last longer than him. Kanda smirked, and Allen saw his ego go up. Collalpasing onto the couch Allen sighed in relief at the softness, Tim flittered about his head. Kanda walked into the small kitchen, stocked with food that Jerry knew the two would need. It surprised Kanda at how good at cooking Allen was. Allen watched Kanda from the living room. Meeting his gaze, Kanda beckoned the younger over. Allen pouted, stuck out his tounge but complied. Kanda handed him English tea, sipping it Allen beamed. The vampire remembered the notorious sweet tooth of the hybrid and made English tea that he knew the younger would like, he made himself green tea. Allen felt some energy return and patted Tim, who had flew onto his shoulder.
"You want me to make something for the two of us?" Allen suggested.
Kanda glanced at the clock, seeing how Halloween was on Friday, classes were cut in half. Holiday's were a big deal for the school, Halloween was the biggest. He smirked knowing Allen was new to their world and knew that Halloween was going to be fun.
"Sure, soba." Kanda said without thinking.
"Soba…why not something else?" Allen said, surprised that anyone could eat Soba as much as Kanda did.
"What else would you suggest?" Kanda asked irritation evident.
"Seafood Ramen?" Allen said with a shrug.
"We got the ingredients for that?" Kanda raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah…" Allen said walking to the fridge and pantry.
Allen brought out the necessary ingredients, Kanda looked at the fridge and back to the layout...stunned.
The hybrid snickered at the vampire's expression. Kanda leaned against the counter moving aside while Allen made Seafood Ramen for two. Kanda's eyes were lit with amusement and warmth, watching Allen work. Allen found himself proud of the fact that he could cook, and the two actually got along…mostly. There were still a few 'Moyashi's and 'BaKanda's exchanged, but the air was lighter….friendly even. Then it went awkward as Kanda said one thing that Allen stumbled at (A/N: We all knew he would…).
"So, I'm your 'personal vampire', eh, Moyashi?" Kanda softly asked, almost afraid that he said something wrong.
"Uh…yeah…how does that work out anyways?" Allen asked as he prepared the bowls.
"Eariler it was pure instinct for me…it was like I knew you needed to be bitten." Kanda said, setting up the small table.
"I guess…when my blood acts up, you'll just know…and…uh…" Allen mumbled, blushing. Setting a smaller bowl aside for Tim, the golem became a glutton.
"Swoop in a drain the blood till both are complacent." Kanda said with a smirk.
"What if you're not there?" Allen had finished the bowls.
"I will be." Kanda took one and sat down. Allen followed his example.
"But-" he started.
"No, "buts"…I will never leave your side…got that, Allen?" Kanda said, locking eyes with him. Allen was speechless, Kanda started eating and motioned for Allen to start as well. He did and soon the two were finished. Allen had 5 helpings, Kanda had 2. After saying their 'Goodnight's', Allen walked into his room. After shutting the door he placed his hand over his rapidly beating heart, he smiled. Kanda shut his door; placing his hand on the smooth wood he recalled the training area feeding. He heard Allen's voice call out then. He knew what he said earlier was truth, there was no way in hell he would leave Allen's side. The kid needed him. Kanda would never admit it, but he was starting to need Allen too.
