God, Lavi needs to shut up! Allen thought as he walked through the crowded halls with the energetic red head.

"..and then my mom said 'Lavi, why the hell is your head stuck in the toilet?' and I said 'Mom, why do you think. I was trying to see how far in I had to stick it to get it to stick.' 'Why the hell did you do that?' she screamed back. 'Because I thought it would be fun'…" Lavi yammered on, switching between a high falsetto and his regular tone to indicate the different people involved in his story. He had been telling Allen useless stories about his childhood for the past week, and he was slowly becoming miserable.

As Lavi kept on talking about his job and some guy named Bookman, completely oblivious to Allen's lack of attention, Allen desperately searched the halls for a glimpse of his raven haired samurai. What is it about Kanda, Allen mused, that makes him so damn irresistible?

Allen was brought out of his line of though by Lavi's cheerful cries of "Yuuuuu!"

Allen whipped his head around so it was facing the same direction as Lavi's. There he was, Allen's dream come to life. With his chiseled features and deep, bottomless eyes, anyone could see that he was every girls dream. In fact, he seemed to be a specific girls' dream at the moment. While Allen was too distracted by Kanda, he didn't notice the girl standing just to the left of him, gripping his hand possessively, clearly telling all other girls to stay away.

The girl was of a tiny stature, with small, square hips and a waist Kana could fit both hands around and overlap considerably. She had pointed features, but not so as to give the look of an arrow. Her hair was a fiery red that ran in silky ringlets down to mid-back, and her eyes shined like emeralds set in the middle of her face. In all, she was beautiful in the most unexpected way, and she was obviously the object of every guys wet dreams. Every ones, including Kanda's, Allen thought bitterly.

As the pair made their way over to him, Allen couldn't help but glare at the nameless girl. Here she was, holding hands with HIS Kanda! It was irrational, he knew, seeing as Kanda wasn't really HIS, but he was blinded by jealousy, and really, 'Hell has no fury as an Allen scorned'.

"Baka Usagi, don't fucking call me that!" Kanda bellowed, knocking Lavi's head into a nearby locker. Lavi, being Lavi, simply shook it off in a way only he could.

"Awww….Yuu, don't be like that," Lavi whined, thoroughly pissing off an already severe looking teen even more. "You wouldn't want your girl over here to get scared and run off would you?" And with that, Kanda was sufficiently lulled, and Allen was ready to rip Lavi's throat out.

'Can't he see I'm right here? I can hear what he's saying to Kanda!' 'Shut up Allen, He doesn't know, no one does.' 'Still!'. Allen's internal battle went on like this until he heard someone clearing his throat rather loudly, evidently meant to grab some ones attention. He snapped his head up quickly to stare straight into the cobalt orbs that are Kanda's eyes. He was mesmerized. He couldn't help but gaze into the deep abysses, trying to find the end. As he was staring into Kanda's eyes, Allen was taken back to an event that had happened earlier that week.

#$%*&(&*^&%%*&^*(&$^Flashback Baby!^%&^(*)*&^!#$%^**%

Allen was wondering around the halls of Black Order High, searching for the library in vain. As he rounded a corner he came to three guys that he remembered seeing in the halls, he was pretty sure he even had a class or two with the one in the middle.

Two of the three boys were obviously related, though one was at least two years older than the other. They both had flawless, milky skin, full lips, and slightly upturned noses, though the older of the two had a slight bump in his, indicating it had once been broken. They shared tall, muscular stature and striking, nearly clear, light blue eyes. The only difference between the two was the hair; the older of the two had jet black, unruly hair while the younger had dirty blond hair that fell to his ears. The third boy was of no relation to the others. He was short but buff, with muscle bulging under the required school dress shirt. He had light brown hair cut into a buzz cut, and a nose pointed like an arrow. All three wore identical expressions of loathing.

"What the hell do you think you're doing freak?" The elder of the two brothers sneered, nearly spitting on Allen while speaking. Allen just stood there, silent and unmoving, staring at a spot to the left of the boy. He was used to this, it had happened at his old school, and his guardian used to do the same thing to him, treat him like dirt. This time was no different.

"Earth to fucker? I asked you a question." The boy spit out again, growing aggravated at Allen's lack of response. With a nod to his two companions, the other two stepped forward. The boy's brother grabbed Allen's arms and held them at a painful angle behind his back, while the other guy moved to get in his face.

"I believe, that Garrett asked you a question. Now, are you going to answer or am I going to have to hurt you?" he asked, his face mere inches away from Allen's by the end of his threat. His breath was horrid and smelled of rotting fish, so Allen turned his head away so as not to breathe it in. The boy became enraged at the blatant show of disrespect, and he showed his dislike for the action by sending a powerful jab into Allen's stomach, leaving the silverette breathless.

"Who the hell do you think you are to shun me, when you are the sorry freak that no one wanted? Your parents didn't want you, and neither did your sorry excuse for a father. And you know, it's best that Mana Walker died, he was a loon, but not even he deserved to have to see your face!" the boy screamed in rage, spit flying everywhere, drenching Allen's face.

Still, Allen showed no emotion. He didn't even look at his face; he was still staring at his original spot to the left of the boy. He knew he was making it worse, but from experience he knew that he was ending it quicker than it would if he gave them the satisfaction of seeing him in pain. After the boys tirade, "Garrett" stepped forward and grabbed Allen's face.

"You are a good for nothing, low life freak. You deserve to die. No one would miss you if you suddenly disappeared forever. I hope this hurts." He said, drawing back his fist to punch Allen. At the last second, Garrett's hand was removed from his face, and his arms were released. Allen moved his eyes to see what was going on, and he saw none other than Yu Kanda pressing his three attackers to the wall with the blade of his sword.

"Now, what are you guys doing? Surely you weren't about to harm Allen were you? That would be a very poor decision on your part. You see, I've known Headmaster Komui my entire life, and I have special permission to carry around this sword. So if I hear about you three so much as looking at Allen funny, I will hunt you down and use Mugen to cut out your insides as you watch helplessly. Understand?" Kanda threatened the three who looked like they had all sufficiently wet themselves. They all nodded tightly, craning their necks away from Mugen as to not be sliced open by the sharpened blade.

"Good," Kanda grunted out before roughly shoving them in the opposite direction from where Allen was standing. The ran away from the scene like bats out of hell; turning the corner down the hall and vanishing from sight in moments.

Kanda took one look at Allen and made a non committal sound in the back of his throat before turning his back on Allen and walking away. Allen watched him as he went, gazing in wonder after the man that saved him from hurt.

%^!#(*^(&#!(&#!*(&#*^(*# End of Flashback (*(&*&&%^%$$~! #$%^&*)

"Baka Usagi, if you're done pissing me off, Sidney and I are off to class," Kanda spit out, towing the girl in a random ass direction, even though class didn't start for twenty more minutes. As he sped away through the crowd, Allen watched him wistfully, hoping beyond hope he would turn around and meet his gaze. But Kanda, being Kanda, didn't turn around. He merely walked away, pulling on his sluts' hand.

After the pair had disappeared around a corner, Allen turned to Lavi noticing that the bouncy redhead was silent. In fact, he was staring at Allen…..who had apparently just been caught staring at Kanda. Allen blushed a deep scarlet, and Lavi, upon seeing said silverette's blush, raised a pale eyebrow in question.

"Oh shut up," Allen mumbled, before stalking off in the direction of his first class. 'And why is it, that after everything that happened that day, all that sticks out is the way Kanda's chest rose and fell as he protected me?' Allen asked himself.
