Chapter 40- Mixed Emotions- Lenalee
I yelped as General Cross grabbed my waist, and pulled me close to his. I heard Allen's voice through the transmitter that the General had in his ear, but I couldn't understand what was being said.
"We don't have much room to stand here," The general said. "Although, I really don't mind being in this position."
It took all my will power to not punch him in the face. "Allen," I said. "Don't worry about me! I'll be fine!" I hope. I thought.
The floor beneath me started to shake violently. I felt Cross's grip tighten around me as he cursed.
"Contact Allen!" He said. I heard a little buzzing sound, and knew that he was trying to talk to Allen. "Control the Ark, Idiot!" He yelled.
There was nothing for a minute, and then I heard the sound of a piano being heard.
Suddenly, the floor and walls around us stopped falling apart. In fact, they started to re-build themselves. I stared with wide eyes as I looked out the window. The entire town was reforming.
The object of my attention changed as I felt the General touching me very inappropriately. I pushed myself away from him. "Where's Allen?" I asked.
Cross just smiled, and walked off. Reluctantly, I followed him. I didn't want to be left alone in such a creepy place; even if it meant I had follow the lecherous General.
Suddenly, I was standing in a pearl- white colored room. I had no clue as to how I got there. I looked around and saw that there was a couch on one end of the room, and a piano at the other end. Next to the piano, Allen stood there, looking down at it completely shocked.
"Allen!" I yelled. I ran over to him, and hugged him. "I'm glad you're all right."
Allen wrapped one arm around me. "Are you okay? My master didn't do anything to you, did he?"
The look in Allen's eyes was different than usual. He looked angrier, and more… evil than he ever had. I figured that mentioning the General touching me wasn't a good idea.
I shook my head. "He did nothing."
Obviously, my friend didn't believe me. However, Allen turned to Cross who was sitting in a chair.
"How was I able to do that?" He asked.
Cross didn't have time to answer because a loud voice echoed throughout the place.
"Allen!" A voice called. I turned to see a giant screen on the wall. On the screen, Lavi was looking around. "Allen!" He called. "Where are you?"
"Lavi," I said. I felt tears appear in my eyes as I looked at my crazy, one-eyed friend.
Lavi started to call out a bunch of food names, thinking that Allen would go there.
"Damn it, Lavi, stop saying those things!" Allen yelled. "I'm already hungry, so you don't have to keep my mind on food!"
I chuckled as Lavi and Chaozii the crew member looked around.
"Allen!" Lavi yelled. "Where are you?"
Allen and I both looked at General Cross for the answer. Still, the general didn't answer.
Suddenly, a door on the screen slammed open, and I saw Kanda standing there, holding Krory.
"Yuu!" Lavi yelled for joy.
"Lavi, we need help!" Allen yelled. "We're stuck in a strange room with my master!"
"Was that Beansprout?" Kanda asked.
"No it was a magical voice that pops into the sky after you're brought back to life," Allen said, very sarcastically. "Of course it's me! And my name is Allen!"
Kanda and Allen started to argue. The mean and annoying comments coming from General Cross and Lavi didn't help their anger.
I, on the other hand, was crying my eyes out because I was so happy. I had seriously thought that all of them had died, and yet there they were, only a little ways away, alive, and having enough energy to yell at each other. I fell to the ground, crying into my hands.
"Lenalee," I heard Allen say my name gently. "Are you all right?"
"Allen, if you made her cry, then Kanda's going to kill you!" Lavi exclaimed.
I smiled. I felt Allen's hand on my shoulder.
"Allen, don't you dare do anything that will make her all sad and depressed again!" Lavi yelled. "If she returns to the Order upset, then you are going to have Kanda cut you up, Komui beat you to a pulp with his robot, Rever bash your head with some weird science experiment, and about five hundred scientists attacking you all because you made one girl cry!"
"LAVI, SHUT UP!" Allen, Kanda and Chaozii all yelled.
I started to laugh quietly and so hard, that my entire body was shaking.
"Lavi, you made her cry even worse!" Allen exclaimed.
"I didn't mean to!" Lavi yelled. "Lenalee, I'm sorry, Lenalee!"
That set me off. I started to laugh out loud. The sound reverberated off the white walls. I looked at the screen. Kanda had a slight smile on his face, Chaozii looked completely confused, and Lavi was smiling like a Cheshire cat. Allen and Cross were both looking at me with weird expressions. Allen had worry on his face, and Cross had a creepy perverted smile plastered to his face.
I fell onto my back because I was laughing so hard. My sides hurt to the point that I thought I was going to burst. Tears streamed down my face, but I didn't take the time to wipe them away.
Soon, Allen, Lavi, and Chaozii were all laughing as well. Kanda and Cross just looked annoyed. I didn't care though. Considering everything that had happened from when we started our mission to now, laughing was a relief. The fact that I was still able to be happy was a good thing.
It took about ten minutes for out laughter to die down.
