"Lavi, there is indeed a reason behind it. I didn't just give you the book to read and study- this time observe carefully".
Lavi decided to stop by at Bookman's place. It was quite a bit dusty - there were around ten shelves with books - neither of them seemed to mind though. The red-head did sneeze a couple of times after he entered.
Lavi wanted Bookman to answer his questions- but it was quite hard to get an answer out of him.
Bookman sighed deeply. Not only he had to hear the hour long complaints of his pupil, Lavi, he was such a nuisance it hurt Bookman's ears.
He's complaining too much about my lifestyle! Becoming a Bookman is boring work! Pfft. "But geezer, how can these things even be true?! I have read the first six pages-"
"You immature brat! I told you! Everything a Bookman writes down is NOT inaccurate".
"Doesn't something like a recording error exist?!" Lavi sneezed. Just how long do I need to listen to his scolding? I don't quite understand the mysterious things I've read up until now..
"Stupid Lavi. Do you seriously think that?", started Bookman. "After all these years I taught you- look what childish behavior I get in return! Do you even remember what you are? You go wherever this generation is taking you- even though a Bookman should be a bystander at all times remaining neutral. Sooner or later you could witness something first-hand, like all former Bookmen including D. Bookman, keeping up your best attitude to not get involved into anything. Every detail possible, record everything impartially. Every past wars have been recorded without us getting drawn into the war. We are always on the side of everything. We have to record history. Lavi, don't forget the purpose of your very existence".
Lavi wanted Bookman to answer his questions- but it was quite hard to get an answer out of him.
"Geezer-" MWAAH! IT'S NOT WORKING! He's so hard to get convinced.
"Did I raise you to become a fool?", interruped Bookman agitated with a frown. "You're the next heir. You'll be the one taking my place after my death. I don't want any humiliations piled up on my grave!"
Lavi itched the back of his head. His masterplan of getting answers failed quite splendidly. He wanted to nag until Bookman got so tired of it he'd give him some.
"Calm down. I get it.., ..Panda".
The rabbit immediately received a kick from the pissed off elder. He really hated it when Lavi called him a panda. Bookman himself didn't have a name, so he just wanted people to call him 'Bookman'.
"YOU IDIOT! Instead of being such a dumb ass punk asking all of the same ridiculous questions over and over again read the whole book yourself first! You're only at page 6! You're such an useless wimp! I won't answer anything! Think like a Bookman!"
Bookman became calm sighed again. He stared at the useless Lavi that was on the floor rubbing his sore butt.
"That really hurt, geezer! I also read the very last page", yelled Lavi. "Then.. will you answer just one thing?"
Lavi gained a serious expression on his face.
Lavi received a vicious stare from Bookman. He ignored the stare and opened the book 'The Destroyer Of Time' on page 4. The boy pointed at some parts of the page, including the sketch of a scar. "Read this, please".
'The small boy dressed in white had received the name Crowned Clown. His appearance was almost the same as that of a clown. No- that wasn't the only case. A young clown. He looked around fifteen years old. He had a scar on his face. A pitch black colored left arm, which apparently he could turn into some sort of weapon. The weapon is still unidentified. Everywhere he went, slowly, all 'Akuma' had been defeated. The Demon Lord raged. Rage, so bad he had released an all-power attack on Crowned Clown. More I'm afraid I cannot write down. It seemed the mountains around there had started to collapse and no further information could be recorded by that Bookman.'
Lavi skipped all the way to the last page. The book isn't completely written by D. Bookman alone. He died somewhere in the middle of old age. Other bookmen had finished it. then pointed at the last couple of sentences.
'There is finally peace. It's over. But - even if it's over for now - Light cannot live without Darkness. Same goes for the other way around. The Destroyer of Time, Crowned Clown won. It is clear now, that in hundreds of years time a war like this can break loose. The Demon Lord against Crowned Clown. When they die, the cycle starts all over again. Reincarnated with the same soul, into their body that looks the same just like that day. They cannot be reincarnated at the same time at the same place. They are never, ever destined to meet before their awakening. -S. Bookman'
"Geezer.. is this book telling me there can occur a war any time any place anywhere in the world right now? Why are they describing Allen and Kanda? Did I just become friends with a Destroyer of Time and a Demon Lord on coincidence or what?"
Bookman nodded as Lavi was trying to figure out the rest in his head. "Lavi. Do not say a word to them about this. You read the last sentence, didn't you? They weren't destined to meet. And they just did".
"The worst problem is, Bookman.. they hold feelings for eachother".
Bookman became shocked. He almost received a heart attack from hearing the disastrous news.
Allen Walker, The Destroyer of Time. Kanda Yuu, The Demon Lord. How could things have changed like this? Now even I won't know what will happen. Perhaps something far worse. Perhaps something not only earth will be affected by. All I can do is wait. It might be happening anytime soon. It'd be a rare opportunity for me, as Bookman, to record this. This sudden change of events is rather unexpected.
enjoy, finalllllly weekend people, sorry I'm a bit tired, exhausting school week- so quickly finished this D:
