7. Chapter Seven

My phone was being a nuisance, so I basically cut this chapter into half. Anyways, thanks for following this fic. I know this chapter and the next chapter are like fillers, but please bear with me. I hate it even more than you do.

Chapter 7

Kanda

Kanda stood at attention, a blindfold around his eyes and Mugen held in both hands. The tip of the activated Innocence hovered an inch from the soil. His shoulders moved slowly, causing his muscles to ripple beneath the skin. With each breath he drew, the movements became quicker and more fluid.

Kanda lifted up the katana, sliding into stance before freezing in place. He repeated movement after movement, steadily increasing in speed without losing his precision. Kanda knew every curve of that blade and the way it sliced through the air. For him, Mugen was as close to a soul mate as he could get. They melded together so perfectly.

Graceful. Entrancing. Undeniably beautiful and strong. But most definitely dangerous.

A Japanese wielder for a Japanese sword; neither one caring much for tradition and instead followed duty. Mugen had never cut through the flesh of an innocent human. Kanda never pursued his own happiness.

Suddenly the Japanese Exorcist felt the warmth of the morning sun hit the bare skin of his shoulder and face. He stopped his training and looked up. He still couldn't see, but he knew it was dawn.

Kanda pulled off the blindfold, surprised to see Lavi leaning against a tree watching him. He also found it somewhat disturbing to know that the Baka Usagi could sneak up on him like that, without his knowledge. It made Kanda suspect that there was more to Lavi than met the eye.

"What are you doing here?" he growled. The read head gave him an enigmatic smile that did not quite fit his character as he opened his mouth to speak.

"Awww, I came to watch Yu practice!" he explained with that familiar idiotic grin. Kanda rolled his eyes in irritation, still suspicious. He ignored the use of his first name.

"I meant, what are you doing at the Black Order?"

"How should I know?" Lavi shrugged. "Panda didn't tell me why we were coming."

"Tch. Baka Usagi," he muttered to himself. There was very little bite in the youth's words. He stalked over to the tree stump that held his uniform. He lifted it off of the dead stump, and tugged it over the bandages around his chest. The fourteen-year-old Bookman Apprentice noticed.

"Still hiding it?" he teased. Kanda glared at him.

"I have no idea what you are talking about," he growled.

He turned on heel, pony tail swinging before falling to mid-back. After a few steps and no Lavi following him, Kanda looked back.

"Are you coming or not?" he snapped impatiently. Lavi obediently hurried to catch up to his friend, smirking when Kanda began to stomp off again.

"Why so grumpy?" he sang out. "Is it because I mentioned the tattoo underneath those bandages?"

He counted less than half a second to find Mugen thrust into his face.

"Shut Up!"

Komui watched Toma fidgeting in his chair. Bookman sat directly in front of him, patiently waiting.

"Toma. Please tell Bookman what you told me about Allen Walker."
