Great, just fucking great.

The stupid rabbit was grinning knowing all to well the frustration Kanda was going through, especially having to sit next to beansprout. The world could go to hell and back again for all he cared. Still he tolerated it only for the half hour that would be needed before they got to the town; unfortunately Lavi sat across from them and stared them down like an idiot who had his face super glued into a smile. Too bad for him though, he sat next to an old beggar; one that hadn't showered for a month so as far as Kanda's massive hatred for the kid, he could tolerate the situation. It was damn good payback.

Tyki Mikk however seemed to be enjoying it. In fact he seemed to find it very entertaining. The relation between the 3 of them would be perfect. Rhode had been dying to see Allen since the last time they met and quite frankly, it was getting annoying. That's all everyone went on about, that damned Allen kid, how they can blame him for losing interest when Tyki wasn't the only one playing with the boy. Suddenly everyone wanted him and he wasn't too keen on sharing. The boy was like a broken recorder that kept replaying the same damned line and would never stop. Surely he would have gotten bored of him eventually but not as soon as they expected but hey, everyone had eyes for Allen. His memories, his eye and his innocence were all strange but still, what about the Japanese teen.

Not much was known of him. Japan and Edo especially were ruled by the Millennium Earl so the teen had to have come as a child but he had stayed under the radar for quite some time without realizing such an opponent would show but then again, all exorcists were like them. None of them died easily but Yuu Kanda –Kanda Yuu –he reminded himself, had supposed to have died twice already by the Noah of Rage. Twice, it was most definitely not a fluke.

Hmm…it would seem that the teen may prove more difficult than the Allen boy and Lavi would be no problem, he concluded. Tyki picked up the joker card and grinned.

Phase one of the plan, started with a tease.
