A/N: So, this is the first time I've updated in 2-3 weeks huh? ...Well then. I decided I would update a little earlier for you amazing people :D
I'll talk more in the AN at the bottom so I don't waste your time reading this :)
Previously:
"Allen, time to go." Lenalee stopped beside Kanda and glanced at him before facing Allen. Allen and Lavi then continued having a tearfest full of good-byes and hugging. Allen sniffled and turned around to smile at Kanda.
"Let's go then!" Allen grinned and hooked Kanda's arm with his. Kanda gave a small flush but it disappeared as soon as it came. Lenalee said she already signed Allen out so the two left the hospital to travel back to the house on foot.
"Kanda?" Allen looked at Kanda with wide curious eyes.
"What." Kanda grunted and kept trudging forward through the ankle deep snow, cursing himself for not wearing his other boots.
"Tomorrow's the last day of winter break isn't it." Kanda's mind froze and he looked at Allen. He blinked once. Twice.
"...Yeah, I guess it is."
"Which means you have to go to school!" Allen laughed joyfully at Kanda's expression of disdain and skipped ahead of him sticking his tongue out childishly.
"Well, you do too." Kanda stated but was surprised when Allen didn't stop with the childishly happy expression.
"Nope! I never got enrolled into any schools when I moved here. Plus, I've been homeschooled my entire life." Allen shrugged his shoulders as he walked backwards so he could look at Kanda. 'Never enrolled' Kanda thought. 'Well I'll change that.' Kanda smirked on the inside and walked faster so he passed Allen.
"Hey! Bakanda, wait up!"
Allen POV
In the end, we didn't even go back home (wow, now I'm calling Kanda's house 'home'...). We passed a mall and Kanda dragged me back to go in and get his supplies but suddenly he pulled me back out and took an eye patch and tied it around my head. To tell you the truth, I completely forgot about it. The blurriness in my left eye seemed like a natural thing to me now. The next few hours were spent walking around to different stores to shop for all of his supplies and just shopping around for fun.
"Haaah!" I flopped down on the couch and gave a tired groan as I felt tiredness overwhelm me. This was the most physical exercise I've done in a week. I turned my head to the right as I watched Kanda walk into the living room and drop the plastic bags down on the ground before flopping down into a couch as well. He placed an arm over his eyes and let out a quiet sigh. I guess today took its toll on him too.
I turned my head straight again and stared at the ceiling. I barely realized that Kanda got up while I was spacing out and walked into the kitchen with his cell phone in hand. I heard some quiet muttering as he talked to someone over the phone, but I tuned him out. It wasn't any of my business and it's rude to eavesdrop.
I untied my eye-patch and threw it on the ground by the couch before rubbing the tired eye. Komui didn't ask about my eye or my arm. He just said that it probably wouldn't get better. Ever. I lifted up my left arm and stared at my nails. They looked like they were painted black and looked quite long. Maybe I should cut my nails sometime. I lifted up my sleeve and rubbed the skin all the way until just under my shoulder. It was rough and red, definitely not attractive.
I turned my hand around so the back of my hand was facing me and my brows furrowed in confusion. Since when were there four gemstones here? They were green and placed in a cross. I tried to pull them off but stopped when I felt pain. Pulling the gems off felt as if I was actually pulling my real skin off instead. I was slightly worried but rolled my eyes and dropped my arm. I was already abnormal, one more thing won't make that big of a difference.
"Moyashi."
"Nn?" I was too tired to care what he called me.
"You're going to school tomorrow." I gave him a puzzled look and sat up on my elbows.
"No I'm not, I'm not enrolled-"
"You are now." Kanda smirked and held up his cell phone. I gasped and my jaw dropped. I narrowed my eyes at him and scowled.
"You bastard." I glared at him and envisioned a painful death through all the levels of hell. I was planning on having relaxing days at home when Kanda wasn't around but no! He just had to ruin it all didn't he. I might've even done something nice like clean the house or prepare his lunch. I decided to tell him this.
"It doesn't matter either way. You'll do it anyways." Kanda said shrugged after I finished talking.
"Try me!" I shouted as he moved to leave. "I'm not going to do anything."
"Then go ahead and starve." He waved me off and headed upstairs. I was just about to retaliate but deemed it would be useless when I heard his door close. I dropped myself back on the couch and drifted off to my dreamland.
In D. Gray-Man:
I woke up in a sour mood as I stood up from my bed. Hopefully the real Kanda isn't on. I don't feel like dealing with him right now. You see, when we go to sleep, we wake up in this alternate reality. One day I took a nap in the hospital while Kanda was out doing whatever Kanda's do, and I noticed something. Whenever Kanda's in this world, he has this barely noticeable green glow around him that only I can see with my normal eye. When he's not on, he still looks and acts like Kanda, but the green glow is gone, signaling that Kanda wasn't really there. It's the same thing for me as well. When I'm on, there's a green glow and when I'm not, there's nothing.
Flipping my white hair out of my eyes, I quickly got dressed and looked at myself in the mirror. In this world I could actually change my left eye. I soon learned that my eye can sense akuma's and help me find them and defeat them. I took in both of my stormy grey eyes and gave a sad smile. Having the same coloured eyes was better than having a grey and black and red one.
I opened the door and walked out into the main hallway on my floor. I waved my greeting to Lenalee and Lavi (yeah, even Lavi is here!), before heading down to the cafeteria. Once I took one step through the door, I automatically turned back and walked the way I came with my mood even more foul than before. I swear you could smell the sourness coming from me. Why does he have to be on now of all times! I growled in frustration and stomped down the hall. It's one day before school, shouldn't he be finishing his work or studying for exams or something? I shoved past a Finder without a second glance and almost tripped over Miranda who was on the floor crying and apologizing to...a muffin...for dropping it on the ground.
I gave Miranda a blank look as I watched her apologize profusely to the squashed muffin. Oh yeah, she also stepped on it by mistake.
"Allen-kun!" Miranda finally noticed me and looked over with teary eyes. "I'm so sorry, I know I'm in the middle of the hallway and taking up space but-" Before she could finish, I told her I had to go do something and ran away.
"I'm sorry, Allen-kun!" Her tearful wail reached my ears and I forced myself to go faster. I finally reached my room and closed the door behind me blocking out all sound. I sighed in relief and threw myself onto the bed face first.
"I might as well go back since Kanda's here." I scowled and closed my eyes, wishing to go back to the real world.
In reality:
I slowly opened my eyes and found I was lying on the couch in an uncomfortable position. I slowly sat up stretching out my back and my eyes caught sight of the bags still on the floor. That's why he bought two of everything. I stumbled over to the pile of supplies and picked out a notebook, pencils, and everything else you needed for school.
I spent a good 30 minutes searching around Kanda's house before I found where he put the school bags. Grabbing a slightly worn out one, I picked up my supplies and stuffed everything in there. It was useless fighting against Kanda. I might as well do as he says and come out relatively unharmed.
My anger was slowly subsided until I deemed myself calm enough to see what he was doing. I climbed the stairs quietly and opened his door. I found Kanda lying on the bed stomach down with his head turned towards the door. His face was peaceful and his mouth slightly open. I gently eased the blanket out from under him and put it on top. I felt like a mother putting a baby to sleep and thought that to complete the act, I should give him a peck on the forehead before leaving. Of course, I'm not a mother so I thought flicking him in the forehead would be a better idea. I did just that and let out a quiet snicker before leaving the room and closing the door. What I didn't know was that Kanda was actually awake and was listening to Allen fumble around downstairs trying to get his stuff ready tomorrow.
Kanda's eyes slowly opened and he made a tisking noise. Kanda thought back to when he found Allen and Alma shot and the fear in Allen's eyes as he said one word.
'Kanda.'
A/N: I have three things to say: 1. Beta 2. I don't understand 3. Divergent
1+2. Ok, so this ties in both number 1 and 2. I was just reading over my story and started from chapter 1. All I've got to say is...HOW CAN YOU DEAL WITH THIS?! I legit gave up on the what...3rd chapter? I actually really don't understand how you guys can deal with this plotline and my writing style! *cringes* So I was wondering, does anyone here want to be my Beta? If you do, PM me and tell me how it works please. I really don't know how this whole Beta thing works...
3. I just read Divergent and it was...really good. I mean, it wasn't like 'I can't stop reading, I have to finish this', but it wasn't bad either. It was good enough to keep me interested the entire time and if I walked away, I would still pick it up again to read it but wasn't good enough to keep my completely attached to it either. There were some really interesting areas that you didn't expect and would never think of expecting either. Out of 10, I would rate it...umm, somewhere around 8. (I luv Four :3)
I'm sorry...I just gave you a book review 0.0 ...Tune in next time for a new book review (maybe...), and a new chapter (hopefully)! :D
