This chapter is a little shorter than the last one, but I hope that won't be a problem. And Thank You to those that have stuck around for this long!
Here is Chapter 6! ^-^
Allen walked home with his head down. Great, the only person that actually interacts with me hates me... Allen did not notice that others on the sidewalks trying to get to their destinations faster than they usually would. When his mind was on something, Allen blocked out everything from the outside world and stayed in his own. I bet this day couldn't get any worse. As if mother nature heard his thoughts, the sky filled with gray clouds and began to rain heavily. I'm a very unlucky person, aren't I? Allen gripped the straps of his backpack and began to walk a little faster.
Allen did not want to go home. He knew once he got there, Cross would hurry him out the door and make him go down to the bar to win some more money for him. That could be considered Child Labor in some cases. All Allen wanted to do was go home and hide under his blankets for the rest of the day. But, he didn't mind going if it was going to keep him and Cross at the same house, because he just loved Lenalee that much.
The rain kept hitting Allen in the eyes, making it hard for him to look up to see where he was stepping. He bumped other people's shoulders, which made it hard for him to stay on course. Allen gives up on trying to dodge people and just walks in a straight line, hoping others will dodge him instead.
But a stubborn, hooded, Junior High student didn't want anyone in his path, especially an Elementary student. The Junior High student let the Elementary student walk right into his chest. Allen looked up to see dark eyes staring deep into his. He could see that he had dark blue hair, almost black, which was pretty strange, but shouldn't talk. Allen began to feel frightened because this guy looked like he wanted to kill him for bumping into him.
"I-I'm sorry..." said Allen, hardly able to be heard over the rain.
"Watch where you're going kid. And it's pouring out here, don't you have a jacket or something?"
"I didn't know it was going to rain..."
What? This kid couldn't have looked up at the sky this morning, or what? It was full of gray and ominous clouds... Even though this wasn't in his nature, the Junior High student decided to help out the kid.
"Here, I'll let you have this." He pulls out a small, compact umbrella from his satchel and hands it to Allen.
"Uh... thank you.. Uh, what's you name? If you don't mind me asking." asked Allen shyly. He didn't want to take the umbrella, but Allen was afraid of what the Junior High student would say if he didn't.
"It's Kanda, and I think you should head home before you get sick." stated Kanda, looking towards his destination.
"Y-yeah..." A cold wind began to blow the rain in different directions. Kanda walks past Allen and zips up his jacket tighter. Allen opens up the umbrella and begins to run home. I'm no doctor, but that kid is going to get sick for sure...
Since it was raining, Komui needed to pick up Lenalee from school. He made sure to call the school to tell Lenalee to stay at the school to wait for him.
He picked up his keys from the table by the front door and ran out to his car, trying to avoid as much rain as possible. He put the keys in the ignition, changed the gear into drive, and started to back out of the driveway. All of this rain made it hard to see what was behind the car, so Komui had to squint to make out what was going on. It was a good thing he was because right before he made it to the street, a boy with silver hair runs behind the car, making Komui slam on the brakes. The boy turns around, mouths sorry to Komui and continues to run in the direction he was already going.
Komui felt his heart skip a beat when he almost hit the small boy. He could only imagine if it was Lenalee who was running home from school and almost getting hit by a car. Luckily your big brother is looking after you, my precious Lenalee...
Lenalee waited for her brother under the school pavilion where the other students waited for their rides home. She still had a devious smile on her face as jumped into her brother's car.
"I know that look, Lenalee. What happened at school today?" asked Komui playfully.
"Oh, nothing much really, just a little more eventful day." Lenalee began to giggle to herself.
Komui drove out of the school driveway, wondering why his sister was laughing.
Allen left the wet umbrella outside and walked inside his house, making sure to wipe his feet as he walked in. Everything seeming to be back in its place, but somehow everything was either polished or wiped down. Argh, Master is having one of his friends over today... Allen remembered that it was a Friday afternoon, and that was when Cross would stay home and invite one of his 'friends' over at their home. He didn't mind this time, because he didn't have to go to the bar with Cross.
Allen walked into his room, set his backpack on his desk, and laid on his bed face first. He really didn't care if his blanket got wet because of his damp clothes, he just wanted to sleep and dream. But then he started to recall about what happened in class and how Lenalee didn't look towards his direction once throughout the whole day. She even ate with her class instead of staying in the classroom with Allen. He grabbed his pillow and pulled it to his chest, trying to find comfort in his current situation. Why do I continue to push people away from me? I try to make friends, but they look at me like I'm some sort of eccentric werido... Why do I have to be different? I wish Lenalee wasn't mad at me so I could talk her about. Heck, I'd talk to anyone about it, if they were will to listen... Why is life so complicated?
As soon as she got home, Lenalee ran to her room, shut the door, fell into her bed and began to giggle into her pillow. All she could think about was what she was going to make Allen do on Monday. She had her heart set on this one, and she knew Allen would to it because he did owe her for not presenting their project together. Thinking of the project, she got out of bed and pulled out their project from her backpack. She ripped stuff off her wall and posted it with thumbtacks on the wall. She starred at the poster for quite awhile before she finally saying her devious plan out loud.
"I'm going to have Allen give me a kiss..."
I can just imagine what you are thinking about Lenalee's plan, so review what you guys think!
Thank You~ NoName-chan, Lady of the Crimson Ravens, Senjiku-Ayakashi, and Deathgeass for reviewing!
