"speech"

Jealousy?

Kanda couldn't help hating that Moyashi* even more than usual for being able to make Kamiko smile. Why am I jealous? She doesn't mean anything to me! Stop lying to yourself Yuu, you know you love her. Lies! It's just that I hate that stupid Moyashi! Kanda argued with himself internally as he stormed to the cafeteria.

By the time he arrived there, everyone was crowded around where Kamiko and Allen were sitting. They were all laughing and introducing themselves one by one. He hated to admit it, but Kanda was glad that Moyashi had opened up Kamiko like he had. She was happy and bright, and although there was still pain and darkness hiding in her heart Kanda knew that if it was him she would still be the girl he had met the night before.

"Ehhh? Allen, you're gonna eat all that?" Kamiko giggled.

"Trust me, that's less than he usually eats!" Johnny laughed.

"When we got stuck in the Ark…" Lavi began telling his story as Kanda grumpily ordered his usual soba and sat in a corner sulkily. What am I, a kid? He was stupid for wanting that mysterious girl so badly. She was so popular and bright now, why would she ever turn to someone like him?

Kanda quickly got lost in his thoughts and became completely unaware of his surroundings. He sat and stared blankly into space as he thought about his childish one-sided love. As he did so, the commotion slowly died down in the cafeteria as people ran out of stories worth telling and things worth laughing about.

Kamiko caught sight of Kanda and walked over curiously.

"Yuu-kun?" she asked curiously, but her voice fell on deaf ears.

Does she want to die? Everyone thought collectively.

She waved her hand in front of his face, poked him in the cheek.

She wants to die.

She took a bite of Kanda's soba while watching him out of the corner of his eye.

She really wants to die.

When Kamiko finally realized that Kanda was not coming back to planet Earth, she began playing with his hair. She pulled it out of its elastic and began to braid it here, twist it there, tie it together over on that side, pin it up on the other side. She pulled back and surveyed her work, satisfied.

"Ara**! Lavi don't eat Yuu-kun's soba!" Kamiko cried. Lavi perked up with a terrified look and gave her a 'what the hell?' face.

At that moment, Kanda stood up and glared at where he thought Lavi would be but found the small figure of Kamiko.

"Welcome back, Space Cadet!" she laughed with a salute to him. "thought you'd never come back!"

Kanda blushed for the second time because of that girl, and everyone pretended not to see in order to protect their lives. She had already pranced off towards the exit and called for Allen.

Kanda was jealous that Allen was having his name called by Kamiko and glared at the little brat as he passed. He caught Allen's shoulder and shoved him back roughly. Allen looked up at him with a look of distaste before waving Kamiko ahead.

"It's obvious you like her, but don't get your hopes up. Remember, I'm the one who set her heart free, I'm the one whose hand she will grasp for, I'm the one whose name she is calling." Allen growled under his breath.

"For how long I wonder?" challenged Kanda.

"With that hair? A looong time." Laughed Allen with darkness as he passed Kanda and ran to catch up to Kamiko, grabbing her hand to emphasize his point.

Kanda's hand flew to his hair and felt the intricate pattern that had been woven into it. The style was fit for a rich man's daughter attending a ball, not an exorcist. Great, now I'm an idiot with girly hair. He thought bitterly and looked after Kamiko. If only love wasn't so complicated.

A/N: *Moyashi is the japanese word for bean sprout which is Kanda's nickname for Allen.

**Ara is a sound kind of like "oh!" like if I dropped something I would say "ara" it's a Japanese thing and I say it all the time even when speaking English ^.^
