Yo, everyone! XD
I'm back with sth for you! Unfortunately, I had to change my plans a little bit, and that's the reason why this chapter took me so long.
I do not own the characters from DGM.
And I want to say a loud "THANK YOU" to: sunshineandmoonlight, Yullen22490, the Judge and Shadow of a Forgotten Ghost for support and help :)
Thanx everyone for the patience.
Enjoy :)
Chapter 4 - Mission and HIM
"…Oi, Yuu-chan…? You know that we are wandering since morning? I mean, I know that green makes you calm inside and, to tell the truth, it's very suitable for you, since you are particularly always angry. And, really, don't you think that you really shouldn't be mad so often? After all, you are aware of what people says: anger harms beauty. Maybe if you smile more you would make some reaaallyyy beautiful princess fall for you? I know that you still have your "Beauty with silver eyes", but look. You would have nice kids running all around you, and then grandchildren. And a nice, warm home. Don't you think it's a tempting perspective? Nee, Yuu-…chan?"
Lavi stopped his cheerful mumbling only to turn his head to look back at Kanda waking quietly and, surprisingly very calmly, behind him.
But then he realized that there was… no Kanda walking behind him. So what could he do? He just fell on his butt and crossed his legs while letting go a sigh. And after a minute of silence…
"Ahhhh! Great. Just great! I've been wandering ALONE?" He threw his hand up and started to mess his hair.
As suddenly as he began, he stopped. His hands loosely dropped down on both of his sides.
"Ahh… So… I'VE BEEN TAKING TO MYSELF AS WELL?"
He yelled to nobody.

As he was walking through the forest, Kanda was thinking about his task:
'Mission – 'Silver eyes in the dark forest'
The plan:
1) find the silver eyed boy
2) kiss him
3) ask about his name
4) kiss him
5) make sure that he will give me a map or something…'
He stopped on his truck then looked to his left and right a few times. At last he lowered his head in surrender.
'Ugh... Damn! How many fucking times do I have to get lost to be able to find him WITHOUT actually getting lost?'
Kanda, of course, had lost Lavi long time ago. But this time, truly, that hadn't been on purpose. You would ask: why?
So…
FLASHBACK – the day before, royal library
"So Yuu… Are you trying to convince me that you" Lavi had pointed his index finger at Kanda" met, in the middle of the biggest forest in the country, a beauty with silver eyes and white hair?"
"Che. Yes, why...? Oi! What's so funny?"
His anger was understable. He tried hard to tell that Redhead with poker face about the mysterious boy but sadly made really bad attempts 'couse of the tiny hints of red on his cheeks. Indeed, Lavi had cured in a laughing ball on the red puffy chair and had been shaking all over his body.
"Ha..hahahaha! No, sorry Yuu! I've never thought that you can say jokes. And that was good, really! Well done!" He put his thumbs up at Kanda, who was sitting opposite him.
But.
" Yu..u?"
Knada's mood was already devastated. His hand reached for Mugen.
"Waaah! Yuu-chan, do not kill me! Bu-u-ut don't you think that that sounds, at least, crazy? Because, what does anyone do in the forest alone?" Lavi did his best to sound logically and convincingly.
That didn't help.
"You stupid Rabbit! How many times do I have to repeat myself for you to believe me?!"
Silence. Lavi looked at Kanda suspiciously and narrowed his eyes. At last he straightened, crossed his arms on his chest and asked in all seriousness.
"Yuu. You are NOT joking. Right?"
Kanda nearly given up.
"Che. No, you baka. That's exactly what I've been trying to tell you for the last two fucking hours."
Lavi still didn't looked certain about it.
"Maybe if I see him…"
"Wakatta. Next time you are going with me"
"Bu-u-ut Yuu-cha- "
"Che. No buts. I'm not that stupid – you don't believe me. I'll fucking show you how mistaken you are."
With that last words Kanda went out of the room leaving the wide opened eyed Lavi.
End of flashback
He needed him. Kanda NEEDED Lavi. He could no longer sneak outside with the same lame excuses. And Lavi was the only person, beside Marie, who had he trust, and the only one, whom could he tell about that and who would help him.
But nothing could go right.
'Che. Baka Usagi. The only time when he is supposed to be by my side, the Redhead is gone!' Kanda hit the nearest tree with his clenched palm. Unfortunately that was coniferous one.
He caught his wounded hand with the other.
'Shit. This'll leave the mark'
-/-
At least Lavi ended laying on the ground exhausted. He was wandering a little bit after his last outburst, but only managed to get lost even more.
"Ahhhh… There is no point in looking after Kanda. He will find me" And added in his thoughts: ' Someday'
Lavi was about to doze off when he heard distant and barely audible sounds, but sounds nevertheless.
He turned his head in said direction in curiosity. Then stood up.
'Hnn… That sounds like human's taking. Maybe if I follow that voices…'
As he was walking the voices were becoming louder and clearer. It didn't take him long to find 'the possibly loudest' place, but though that he couldn't localize the source of them. Lavi was turning around like crazy and waving hands.
"Finally, finally I found something that can help me to go out of that stupid forest, but – "
"Oi! That forest is NOT stupid, you baka!" High HUMAN voice spoke on his left. The Redhead quickly turned to that side. But he didn't see anyone.
'Shit. I didn't heard any steps approaching me!' He started to panic and.. regret.
'Maybe that extra trainings with Kanda weren't such a bad ideas…'
"Ah! Tim, don't be so rude to strangers!" And another one, lower and… nervous?
"UGH! But it's HIM who is rude! How does he dare to criticize some place without actually knowing it? Because we HAVE a lot of nice places in there! Like… "
The rest of the mumbling was missed by Lavi. After the collision with the unknown object Lavi still was far from localizing the voices. He finally found out that there was nowhere in his sight, so... He decided to search lower.
And there he found THEM.
Under some bigger leaves were hidden two little… elfs.

Kanda didn't have time to grumble for too long. He heard fast rustling leaves. Something was moving in his direction. In few minutes he begun to be annoyed.
'The hell?' Kanda didn't like to not know. The answer came quicker than he thought. Just above him a branch…
CRASH
And a hooded person landen on his opened arms. Why did he catch him?
"Whaa – Umh!" His Moyashi squeaked, but was unpretentiously interrupted by Kanda's lips on his own. At first he tensed, but after an instant relaxed.
When the kiss ended Kanda put the whitette safety on ground. The lather pouted angrily.
"Baka, what was that?"
"Che. How I'm supposed to welcome my fiancée?" The prince smirked making the other one turned bright red.
"Yo-o-o-u baka! Since when am I your fiancée?! What's more, you said you'll be back after two yea- what now?"
Kanda leaned in the boy's direction and waited for the his reaction, not saying a word. The other was trying hard to not move, but after going for all shades of red he finally made a step back from embarrassment.
That was exactly what Kanda was implying for.
"Wha-a-at?" A whisper came from the boy, who grabbed the edge of his hood trying to cover more his face.
"I said I will CLAIM you after this two years. I've never said I wouldn't come to visit" He ended his little speech with a wink. That made the other pout even more. But after a while he sighted and smiled at Kanda.
"Soka. Why not" He slowly walked away. Kanda looked stunned after him, as he turned his head to look back at the prince.
"Not coming?"
-/-
Lavi's eyes widened in surprise. It was a while since the last time he saw them. They lived deep in the forest. People would say it's because of their fear of humans and their desire to use elf's magic for their own.
But this two, not bigger than a sparrow, weren't afraid of him. On the contrary, they behaved like Lavi wasn't even with them. The screaming one was definitely younger than the other one, a boy with gold hair and, now sparkling with anger, blue eyes. The older one, the woman, had curled black locks and was trying to calm the first one with her brown, pleading orbs.
Lavi spent several minutes in astonishment while just watching that pair. But the curiosity decided to take a part in this conversation.
"Ano… Sorry. Could you tell me- "
"See? See? His is the worst! Exactly like the rest of the humans! Now he is just waiting for us to let our guard down, then he will catch us and-and-and-"He was subbing now" EAT! Ahh! Miranda!"
The little one jumped at the black haired elf. Said Miranda hugged him close and tried to hush him while patting him on the head.
"Oi, Timothy. You shouldn't say something like that. What bout Allen? He is nice, isn't he?"
'Allen? Who is Allen?' Lavi looked suspiciously at them.
"Who is Allen?"
Sobs died down. In slow motion Tim turned around to shoot the Redhead the death glare. With the murky aura emitted from him he said:
"What do you want from our Allen?"
Lavi put his hands up in surrender gesture.
"No-othing! Really! I even don't know that guy!" He stuttered.
Timothy flew up at the sight high and looked Lavi suspiciously in both eyes. What he saw in them calmed him down, because he nodded sternly and sat back beside Miranda.
"So… What are you doing here, Mr. stranger?" Miranda asked politely.
Lavi sheepishly scratched his head.
"Please do not call me that. I'm Lavi. And I'm a little bit… lost" He ended with uncertain smile.
"Soka. Nooo problem!" Timothy put his thumb up with happy expression.
'Woah! Scary! That little one can do chara-change so quickly!' Lavi shivered in fear.
-/-
"Where are we going?"
"To the closest village. You were lost, weren't you?" The wittette smirked at Kanda.
"No"
"..."
"Okey! Maybe…"
"….hahaha!"
The prince glanced again at his laughing lover. And also smiled. Because, why not?
-/-
"Ano… You really know the way?" Asked exhausted Lavi after a few hours of killing walk.
"Of course! We have been living in that forest since like… neee… Miranda? Two decades?"
"Hai. It will be something around it."
The Redhead put hands behind his head.
"So… Who is that Allen?"
Timothy's eyes sparkled again.
"He is the most cool person in the entire forest… no wait! In entire world! He is like a flying angel with the blowing coat and white hair of his! Once he…"
'White hair, you said…'
Miranda flew closer to Lavi's ear.
"I'm sorry for him. He is still a child. And truly loves Allen" She smiled.
"Ah… That I can tell by myself" They laughed together. Miranda looked up.
"How to say it… Allen is somehow our protector. And friend. And hero. All in one. He takes care of us and helps in the argues with HIM" At the last words both elfs stopped taking and looked at each other in horror.
"Should I ask…?'
"Ano… Who is "HIM"?"
"He. He. Hehe. You are asking who is HIM? Soka. I will tell you"
'The murderous aura again' This time Lavi trembled.
"He is the worst! He is scary and huge and scary and strong and scary…." The blonde hidden behind Miranda, who explained the rest.
"He is a very dangerous person. Some even say that he is a demon. We do not know. But you should avoid him if you value your life" She finished with a serious face.
-/-
"There you are" The whitette said sadly.
Kanda wasn't very happy too. They spent last few hours walking peacefully in the forest holding hands and talking about nothing.
"Che"
"Looks like I'm taking my leave" The was insistently searching for smile.
"Date"
"Hn?"
"Date. Tomorrow. You showed me the forest, I will show you the village"
The bright smile appeared on the boy's face.
"Wahhh! Really, really?"
"Ah. Why not?"
"YEY!" He jumped from excitement.
-/-
Lavi watched Kanda saying goodbye to some hooded person. When the prince hold said person close and kissed, the hood fell down.
'White hair, hmm…'
Thanx! Hope you like it! Next time we will follow Kanda and Allen on their first date! XD
