Chapter 4

When I woke up the sun was just coming over the hill tops, I looked around the room and saw Lavi sitting in a chair to the far corner. Getting up I walked over and poked him in the cheek. "Lavi, Lavi wake up now okay?" I asked as I repetitively poked him in the face. "Uhh…Ren you're awake!" He said as he jumped up and gave me a hug. "AHHHH please let go of me Lavi I don't like physical contact much!" "Hahahahahahahahah! Sorry bout that but you wouldn't wake up all night, after you blacked out Yu woke up and brought you back here. I thought I needed to call bookman to come and fix you up but you seem fine now." "I'm sorry for worrying you, now do you have any leads on any innocence or was it just that damned level 3 akuma?" I must have looked really pissed off because Lavi shrunk in the corner as far away as possible. "No it seems that those were the last of the reports in this area, but we don't have to leave so soon. Why don't we go into town and look around. Besides you shouldn't make such a long journey in your condition." The door opened and Kanda came into the room. "We don't have time for that we need to get back to headquarters as soon as possible. Pack your things because we leave in an hour." With that he dragged Lavi out of the room and slammed the door. 'Well someone is not a morning person.'

Kanda POV:

I dragged Lavi back to the room and threw him in closing the door behind me. "Grab you're things we're leaving soon." "Come on Yu, lighten up can't we have a little fun before heading back? Also think of Ren's condition we don't know if she's ready to make it back to headquarters yet. Let's just take a day and rest before heading back." He sat on his bed and stared at the wall separating the two rooms. "Do what you want but I'm heading back, I'll see you at headquarters." I said as I left the room with my stuff. When I walked out of the room something bumped into me and landed on the floor. "Ow ow ow ow ow… watch were you walk." I looked down to see Ren on the floor rubbing her head.. I helped her get up and she stumbled a bit before regaining her balance. "Are you oaky?" I asked looking down at her as she dusted herself off. "Oh I'm so sorry Kanda-kun, I don't realize it was you. I'm fine now thanks." I looked behind her to see her suit case ready in the hall. "So are we leaving soon?" She asked as she looked around, probably for Lavi. "No you and Lavi are staying here I'm going back to headquarters." She looked confused as she stared at me. "Alright then I guess then me and Lavi will share a room since its only the two of us then." She said as she walked into Lavi's room.

I walked out of the inn to the main road, I followed it to the docks and got a ticket for the next boat back to headquarters. "Kanda!" I turned around and saw Leenalee and Allen running up to greet me. "Hey Kanda what are you doing here?" Leenalee asked as Allen regained his breathe. "I'm heading back to headquarters." I said as the boat docked getting ready to board. "Wait where are Lavi and Ren? Why aren't they with you?" Allen asked looking around (stupid short stack). " Ren passed out so Lavi is staying with her, they should be heading back by tomorrow once she gets better. I'll be going now." I boarded the boat as it was setting sail I saw Allen running towards the inn and Leenalee following him. 'Why is everyone in the order and idiot?'

Ren POV:

"Hey Lavi you and I are sharing a room okay?" I asked as I walked in watching as he tried to pack his things. "I thought we were going back to HQ with Kanda." He said as he finished gathering his things. "Uh well Kanda-kun said that he wanted to go alone or something so we're stuck here for the time being. Besides if another akuma shows its self then we'll be ready right?" I asked setting my things down on the bed next to his. Then the door burst open and Allen came running in. "Hey! I heard what happened are you okay?" He asked through scattered breathes. "I'm alright now just used to much energy fighting that akuma, oh and maybe fighting her too." I said trailing off into my thoughts. "Who did you fight before the battle with the akuma?" Allen had a dark expression on his face as he stared at me waiting for my answer. " Road … she was trying to attack Lavi and Kanda so I fought her instead. She got away though." 'Why am I telling him? Road is in love with this guy… this will be fun.' I didn't notice Allen's dark expression until he grabbed my shoulders and looked me dead in the eyes with a murderous aura around him. "If you see her again tell me and I will kill her." "Alright…" I said confused but intrigued by his sudden change in character. Then Leenalee came into the room. Our eyes locked as sparks flew; I was still really pissed about the whole trying to kill me with a mug explosion thing, why did she hate me so much anyway? I don't remember saying anything to her to make her upset. Stubborn bitch. "Hi Leenalee nice to see you again." Sarcasm clearly laced in my voice along with the undying urge to kill her on the spot.

"Hey you girls okay?" Lavi asked getting up and stepping in between us. "Yes Lavi we're fine, and Allen shouldn't you two be searching for Cross?" I asked looking at him taking my eyes of the disgusting wretch glaring at me. "We were but we were called back to headquarters a few days ago apparently there is an akuma outbreak heading towards Florence, Italy, we need to go back to get our weapons fixed beforehand. Then we ran into Kanda and he told us you blacked out after your battle last night. I was worried so I came to check up on you." "Thank you Allen why don't we all go back to headquarters together. If it's true what you say and there is an akuma outbreak then the Earl must be close by as well. We can't waist anytime." I said as I grabbed my bag ready to head out the door. "You have a point but all the boats for the day have left, we can't go to the island tonight." Lavi said laying back down on his bed. "Ah but you forget Lavi my innocence have that ability to send people to different places sending us to HQ wouldn't be to straining either." I said beaming towards him. "Well I am not going anywhere with the likes of you." Leenalee said sounding very stuck up and bitchy as usual. "Well Ms. Lee I never said YOU had to come you can go home on the boats tomorrow while the three of us can head back." I said in the same tone she had. All she did was look away like a bitch, while Allen and Lave sweat dropped. "Leenalee it would probably be best for all of us to get back as soon as possible, and Komui would be worried if you didn't get back soon. She glared at me then looked at Allen. "You're right Allen let's go back. Lavi you two can head back together Allen and I will head back on a boat."

Allen POV:

What's Leenalee doing we need to head back as soon as possible; we don't have time to wait till tomorrow. "Leenalee lets just go with them now, what will happen if we get to Florence to late because of this." "It won't happen Allen we'll get there in time." Ren said smiling. "Innocence activate. Feathered flight." In a matter of moments we were engulfed in a shroud of feathers flying through the air. In a matter of moments we saw the island and were at the front gate. "Ren next time you do that give me some warning…" Lavi said falling over as Ren ran to his side. "You have really gotten the hang of your innocence now huh Ren?" I asked looking as she helped Lavi up. "Not really just some basic things that I didn't even know I could do in the first place." "Gatekeeper let us in please." I said walking up to the front entrance. "Prepare to be scanned, scan complete please enter." We all walked into the main halls going to the living quarters. "LEENALEE!" Coming from around the corner came Komlin the fourth with Komui on his deck. "What is that?!" Ren and Lavi both asked as Komlin came closer to hitting us. "Alright good night Komlin." I said as I sliced through Komlin just before it hit us. "Shall we go then?" I asked as I turned around to a stunned Lave and Leenalee, for some reason Ren was laughing hysterically. "HAHAHAHAH! Wow Komui you sure had that one coming! Alright let's go." After that strange outburst she returned to her stoic and uncaring side as she walked ahead of us as we made our way to our rooms.

"Moyashi what are Ren and Lavi doing here?" I turned around to see Kanda walking out of the cafeteria drawing Mugen. "If you hadn't noticed we're in an emergency so we had to get back as soon as possible. There is going to be a massive akuma swarm in Florence in a few days. Course I wouldn't expect someone as slow as you to understand." I said turning back around to walk with the others. "What was that you arrogant ass?" Kanda said turning me around and pulling me by my collar. "I was just saying that your brain capacity is for to week to comprehend the matters at hand, and since your last mission was a failure…" "I'm sorry…" We both turned around to see Ren with a dark gloom cloud above her head. "That's not what I meant, I'm sorry." I said as I tried to get away from Kanda's grasp. "I'M SORRY YU!" Lavi said running to hug Kanda but was pushed away. "God Allen be more sensitive to a girls feelings, don't go saying things out of rage! Come one Ren we're leaving." Leenalee grabbed Ren's arm and walked off with her following suit as we all watched them walk away. "I thought Leenalee didn't like her?" Lavi asked staring in the direction they left in. "Yeah so did we…" Was all me and Kanda could say. 'I don't get how girls think.' I thought as I started off towards the cafeteria.

Ren POV:

I walked behind Leenalee very confused about what the hell just happened. "Why are you doing this? I thought you didn't like me." I asked as I pulled my arm away from her grasp. "Well you aren't my favorite person but it was your first mission and most missions don't go the best way for us most of the time. Besides when you get Allen and Kanda in the same room the insults sometimes end up hurting other people." 'I have a feeling this was planned.' I started to walk more slowly behind her for caution that she might try to attack me. We walked in silence until we got to Komui's office. As we walked inside all we saw was pitch black. "Maybe he's still unconscious?" I asked we sat down on the couch in the room after turning on the lights. Suddenly the lights turned off again and both of us were lifted off the couch by a giant metal claw. "Leenalee!" There was Komui with Komlin the fifth holding us in midair as he cried about how worried he was.

"Anyway Komui we need to get our innocence checked right?" I asked when he finally stopped crying, and put us down. "Yes, the task at hand with cause great strain to yourselves and your weapons. So I suggested that you come back right away to see if they are damaged at all, and I wanted to see Leenalee's cute face but…" "I knew it brother you're always so bothersome." They're fighting again… "I'm gonna go wait outside." I said as they bantered back and forth. When I got into the hall I saw Kanda leaning against the side wall. "What are you doing back here? I thought I told you to stay in Drachen Nebel and rest." He started toward me looking me directly in the eyes. "I'm sorry Kanda-kun but it was an emergency and I feel fine now I just can't use so much energy in one fight for too long is all. Since my attacks are area and arial they take up quite a bit of stamina." I said as I back up into the wall as he kept advancing until he was directly in front of me inches away from me pinning me in place by putting his arms on both sides of the wall behind me. ( I suck at these scenes) "That's not the point if you pass out in Florence then we won't be able to help you, what were to happen if the akuma got to you before I did?" Nothing… they would sense I'm Noah but can't say that Damnit! "I'll make sure that doesn't happen. You won't need to worry, and if I'm really in trouble I'll fly to a safe spot and rest for a bit." Staring at him now I noticed how warm his eyes were, how they shone a beautiful midnight blue that just hypnotized me. Drowning me in their gaze. I felt the distance between us start to close as we both leaned into one another, lightly pressing my lips against his as the gap finally closed. My eyes slowly closing as we both leaned into the kiss. Then the door to Komui's office opened. Fuck….

I know I suck at life for not updating this story in forever but I was stuck majorly on this one so yeah but the fifth chapter will be up hopefully in a few days when I finish my OHSHC chapter and my Reunion chapter 7 for both so yeah night and most likely Kanda will be the main love interest that will be pursued. Not really because as you can see he doesn't hate Ren but isn't quite sure yet and you'll all see why soon enough. BYE!
