Exception

By: Aviantei

17. Triangle Theory

School had been back in session for a week, and Lavi was perfectly alright with that scenario, thank you very much. While he normally would have enjoyed his winter break to the fullest—sleeping, watching TV, and even reading through a small stack of books he had discovered while cleaning up for the Christmas Party and realizing that he had left them (gasp) unread—Ari was one to make these sorts of things difficult. Even though her boredom had been erased by her brother's near death under snow, it didn't stop her from invading his personal space on a regular basis.

But school was a different story. Being trapped in the house only left her with one person to bother; the school gave her back the small group of friends she had left behind while heading out to France. She still hung out with the gang, but more often than not she would be catching up with some friend or another. Ari was much easier to handle in small doses, which was how most of the world seemed to view Lavi instead. Put them together and actually getting along would be enough to scare off anyone.

Lavi couldn't say he hated Ari, though. She was his sister after all! It would take some real asshole like Kanda to even consider really hating their sibling. What existed between the Bookman siblings was simply sibling rivalry, even if it could go into less-than-healthy levels on occasion. Ari was only being extra harsh because she had a year and a half of her own special kind of love built up to get out all at once. Things would go back to a rational level soon enough.

Because that was how it was. Lavi loved his sister with all his heart, and nothing could stop him. Not the jokes, not the torment, not even the massacres that ended in him buried under two feet of snow and a cold the next day. He could still feel the effects of being sick even now, sucking up snot into his nose that would have been better placed in the tissues he had forgotten at home. Lavi had already slept through his first two classes, and was slugging through the hallways to sleep through the study hall he had signed up for this exact purpose.

Maybe it worked out in Ari's favor that she could make the best chicken soup in the world when asked.

Lavi somehow made it into the classroom without being late or falling over. He tossed his books to the side, head making a home on an improvised arm pillow on top of the desk. If it had been a normal teacher in charge of the classroom, Lavi would have been able to get away with it by showing off his near portfolio of completed assignments for the next couple of months of the year. Since Reever was in charge of the study hall in question, no such effort was required.

"Still feeling sick, Lavi?" a voice asked, sitting in the desk by the rabbit in question. Lavi peeked an eye (it should be obvious which one) out from his little dome of darkness he had created to see Allen. The white-haired boy was pulling some papers out of a folder, an assignment for some other class. The fact that the Brit could bring himself to work on school related things so early in the morning was astounding.

"Yeah, but seeing your face makes me feel better," Lavi said, sitting up to show off his grin. His head hurt from the movement and he could feel a considerable amount of mucus attempt to drain out of his nose, but it was worth it. "The cold's almost run its course. Based off the average, I should feel better sometime Wednesday afternoon."

"I hope so," Allen said, scooting away from Lavi the slightest bit. He tried not to make it obvious, but it was almost cute the way he tried to avoid showing that he was a minor germophobe. Lavi chuckled, only making it halfway through before erupting into a small bout of coughing he hid in his scarf. "You're not… contagious are you?"

"Don't you worry your pretty little head about it," Lavi reassured, waving his hand in the air, as if that would dismiss the issue. If anything, Allen seemed more worried by the moving appendage than reassured. "Your immune system should be able to kick the crap out of what I have; otherwise you would have caught it already."

Allen nodded, not entirely relaxing. Sentences that contained the word "should" never seemed to work out in his favor. He should have been able to get along with Kanda on some minimal level. Cross should have been an acceptable guardian. The plans Lavi had should somehow not end in something terrible. With that experience in mind, the fact that should be able to not get sick wasn't very reassuring, especially since it came out of Lavi's mouth.

"Just get better soon…" Allen said instead. Bless his soul, the Brit was hardly ever not polite. It would take a lot for him to be cruel to a sick person. Unless that sick person was Kanda. In that case it would be difficult for even someone like Allen to be kind.

"Daw, Brit, you're worried about me," Lavi cooed. Allen couldn't deny it. He was worried about Lavi, but it really didn't have anything to do with the redhead's sickness. That was an entire issue on its own. "Hey, maybe you could help me out with this problem I've been having."

"Weren't you going to sleep?" Allen asked. Not that he minded talking to Lavi, but the last few days had been peaceful, and it was nice to use his study hall to, you know, actually study. It was a novel concept, but it seemed to work out well. Allen couldn't figure out for the life of him why he hadn't thought of it in the first place.

Lavi straightened out his back, a refusal to comply with his friend's expectation. He ended up slouching a second later, but he didn't rest. "I can sleep next period, it's just chemistry, anyway," he said, dismissing the thought. Allen seriously envied Lavi for his ability to sleep through any class because he already understood everything they were being taught. Some people had to work to get their good grades, thank you. "I wanna do something nice for Ari. A peace offering, you know."

Allen wasn't concerned by the wording—that much was normal. The idea that Lavi thought it would be a good idea to ask someone for advice before going off onto one of his hair-brained schemes was the shocking part. Maybe the end of the world had just slept in on New Year's and decided to come a few weeks later than everyone was expecting. The apocalypse was much more fun when no one saw it coming.

"You want my help?" Allen asked. "I guess I don't mind helping you set some things up, but I don't think I'll be able to come up with any good ideas. It's been a long time since I've seen Ari so her tastes have probably changed a lot since then…" For some reason, Allen wasn't scared of getting involved this time. Anything had to be safer than running around trying to get Kanda a girlfriend.

"Don't be ridiculous, Brit, Ari adores you," Lavi said. Allen felt his cheeks turn red, even though there was no reason for them to do so. "Whenever you first moved here, she wouldn't stop pestering me about you. 'When's Allen-san coming over?' and all that. I bet if you helped out with her present, it would make her happy even if it's something she absolutely hates." Lavi paused, surveying his friend. "You okay there, Brit? Maybe I was wrong and you got sick."

The panic that Allen felt at the sentence was quickly overshadowed by his heart pounding in his eardrums. "Lavi," he croaked, "why are you choosing just now to tell me that your sister has a crush on me?" Sure, he knew that Ari had liked him as a friend and probably hung out with him the most out of the group, but he had never considered that she liked him. She was his best friend's sister after all. Wasn't there supposed to be something awkward about that?

"You didn't know?" Lavi said, oblivious to Allen's inner turmoil. "I thought she made it obvious and you were just being polite and a good old British gentleman and not hurting anyone's feelings by choosing."

"Choosing," Allen repeated in a deadpan. It wasn't even a question anymore. It was a demand for an answer that Allen wasn't even entirely sure he wanted to hear. But he had come this far, but he might as well figure out exactly what else Lavi had been neglecting to tell him.

The redhead nodded. "Yeah, choosing. I mean, I don't really care if you go for my sister. There's no one else I'd rather trust her to. Though I don't know how I could ever choose whether to be a groomsmen or a bridesmaid at the wedding."

"Lavi!" Allen's voice shot up a couple of octaves in embarrassment. Most of the class turned their heads in the two boy's direction, and Reever gave them a warning glance over the desk. He may have possibly been the coolest teacher ever, but there were limits to his patience. Allen lowered his voice. "What are you talking about, Lavi? Just who exactly am I choosing from?"

"Whoa, you really don't know?" Allen shook his head. Lavi stared, wide-eyed. "Besides my sister, there's the lovely Lenalady, too. She's not as obvious about it, but she definitely likes you, too. She told me a couple years ago. I didn't say anything 'cause I thought you two were just doing that weird high school thing where you just kinda wait around for the other to say something then you just get fed up and end up confessing to each other at the same time. But if you really didn't know, then—"

"We're done having this conversation," Allen said, face still red. He turned back to his desk, trying to reorient his brain with what he had learned in class that morning. Lavi sat there, still waiting to say something, but kept his mouth shut.

All ideas to do something nice for Ari were on hold. Not to say that it wasn't important, but Lavi realized that there was no way he could focus on doing his sister a favor when the Brit was involved in a problem like this. Besides that, Ari would take a gift whenever it came to her—no horses were looked in the mouth with the younger Bookman sibling involved, no sir. Allen having relationship issues was a situation that could only occur once in a lifetime.

Okay, so maybe 'relationship issues' wasn't the right phrase for it. And once in a lifetime was kinda exaggerating, too. After all there wasn't some relationship crisis going on, it was just a matter of helping the Brit recognize that two girls liked him and helping him along in making a decision of which one to date, even if that decision was neither. Besides, wasn't it a friend's job to make sure his other friends were happy and help them out with discovering their feelings? Lavi Bookman had done his duty and got Kanda Yu a girlfriend. Surely he was a matchmaking expert by now!

Admittedly, though, he had never dealt with love triangles before. Kanda and Ivy had such obvious crushes on each other that it had been easy to push the two together, even with Kanda's stubbornness. It would be much harder, especially since Lavi didn't know if Allen would even have the heart to choose a girl. Definitely the first step was to figure out if he liked either of them, but things would be complicated if the answer was both.

There was research to be done. Lavi had a whole study hall period to work on things, plus he had been planning to blow off his other classes in favor of sleeping anyway. He would get a good start now and halfway pay attention to show that he was still a good student, despite the drawings in his notebook. At the very least he would be able to come up with possible solutions by the end of the day. Sleep could come when he was done or when he passed out. Whichever came first. It was like the chicken and egg scenario where you just didn't know, aside from the fact that the chicken life form could develop without any eggs and was more likely to but that just spoils the damn metaphor.

So he left Allen to his homework and got permission from Reever to spend the rest of the period in study hall. Lavi could almost skip down the hall. Despite his forming headache and lack of airflow through his nostrils, he felt great.

Kanda made a face like had had smelled something nasty and was about to throw up as Lavi walked into the library. Ever since the Japanese teen had realized he would be stuck in all the same classes as the rabbit, no take backs, Kanda had taken whatever means he could to ignore the redhead. Study hall was usually his saving grace because he could at least escape to the library. Even if Lavi followed Kanda there, the rabbit would at least to be quiet. He practically had a permanent reservation.

Lavi had pouted a bit at first, but had ultimately let it slide. While he had rigged his friend's schedule so they could spend their senior year together, he hadn't anticipated that Allen would share the same study hall period with them. Lavi had then decided that he needed some quality Brit time, letting Kanda have his peace and quiet for at least forty minutes a day.

"Jesus Christ, what the fuck are you doing here?" Kanda gritted out. That peace and quiet would probably be going to hell quite soon. Not even waiting for an answer, he started to pull his work together, fully intending to leave. Even if it was a library, Lavi would find some way to annoy him, intentional or no. He'd rather go deal with the Beansprout and Komui at the same time. That would be somehow more standable, if not less annoying.

"Relax, Yu-pon, I'm not here to see you," Lavi said. "We have next period together so I'll come and see you then." He went to smile, but ended up sneezing instead. Kanda grimaced as a trail of snot dangled in the air, then was sucked back up into Lavi's nose.

"Good, then you won't care if I leave." Kanda finished organizing his books into a stack and picked them up. He disappeared out the door seconds later, returning to the classroom. Lavi was surprised at how fast Kanda was willing to move just to get away from him. Not particularly hurt by the thought, Lavi turned his sights to the reception desk where his true target sat.

Lenalee.

It's not like Lavi had come to the library to try and look up advice anyway. He knew better than to go to books for things like this, and using the internet as a source always ended in trouble. Sure, asking a member of the love triangle he was concerned about for advice wasn't the best idea either, but it was the best lead he had for the moment.

It would be so much easier if Lenalee and Ari were males and Allen was a female. Then the two could just kick the crap out of each other to see who would get the girl. But girls were a lot more complicated than that. And who else to ask for how to deal with girl problems than the Lenalady herself?

"Lenalee, how are you doing this fine day?" Lavi asked, overdoing it by a lot. Somehow, he was still able to convey all the same excitement and energy as usual in a whisper. The library wasn't too big a place, and while it looked empty, it wasn't out of the question for someone to be hiding behind the bookshelves and overhear. Even if it was unintentional, that would be uncool on so many levels. At least Lavi had the decency to only eavesdrop on people he knew.

"What's up, Lavi?" Lenalee asked, skipping over the pretenses. She didn't mind dealing with Lavi's whims, but she didn't want to be caught up in some ridiculous question if—gasp—some kid actually came to the front desk for help or, worse, her boss came in and caught her slacking. "Have some overly complex hair-brained scheme like the SSGTIK up your sleeve again?"

"No, it's not like that. I actually came here for advice." Lenalee blinked. Usually Lavi would go running off on whatever traces of a plan he had without bothering to consult anyone else other than giving the illusion of 'asking' for their help then hopelessly dragging them along through the rabbit-themed roller coaster ride that followed. This was unusual. "You see, there's this friend of mine outside our group that's gotten himself shoved in the middle of a love triangle."

"A love triangle?" Lenalee repeated. "Who is it? Is it anyone I know?" While the Chinese teen tried to avoid gossip the best she could, she was still a teenage girl. Tacky as it was, there was still something satisfying about learning about some amazing scoop or the other.

Lavi shook his head. "Sorry, Lenalady, I can't condone this kind of behavior," he said. "It's no one you know, and he kind of asked me to not mention it to anyone else. I'm kind of pushing it right now because I don't know where else to go, but I totally would never be able to forgive myself if I said his name. So for once, my lips are sealed." He imitated closing his mouth with a zipper. "I'll find you some other piece of gossip to spread around later, alright?"

"Oh, get on with it," Lenalee said, trying to hide her satisfaction. For his occasional dives into being an idiot, Lavi certainly knew how to compliment people to get them on his side. He had enough charisma for it, anyway. Besides, he was her friend, and what sort of friend would abandon someone when they asked for advice? Lenalee was not that kind of person, no sir. "Just what exactly do you need my help with?"

Lavi sat down on a clear spot on the desk, leaning towards Lenalee and keeping his voice at a whisper. "Well, I've never dealt with love triangles, but I figured you might be better for this situation than I am," he said. Lenalee nodded. "Basically two girls like my friend, but he's not sure how he feels about either of them since he just recently found out. What do you think the first thing he should do is? Or rather, what advice would you give him if he was asking you?"

"Well," Lenalee started, a finger on her chin as she thought. "The first thing he should do is figure out his own feelings. Spend time with each of them, but focus on it as a friendship. If that develops into something else, he can go on a date without necessarily turning it into a committed relationship. If he likes them both, he can try one date with each of them, but if he lets them find out, it's all over. It's kind of difficult, but that's the best way I can think of. If he doesn't like either of them he'll just have to find a way to let them both down gently."

Lavi nodded a few times, sitting up straight and crossing his arms. He had made the right decision; Lenalee was definitely the right place to go. It would be a lot harder to set up the plan without her realizing she was part of it, but that was a challenge Lavi was willing to deal with. If it would resolve the issue, it would all be worth it in the end.

It wasn't like he would be alone on this one.

"You truly are amazing, Lenalee," he complimented. The girl blushed, fighting a small smile forming at the corner of her lips. "Would it be too much of a trouble if I came back to you for advice, later? I think I can handle the situation on my own, but just in case."

"Yeah, that's fine," Lenalee said. "Though I'd appreciate it if you could come to me when I'm not working? I'd rather not get in trouble."

"No problem! I'll get out of your hair right now." Lavi jumped up from where he was sitting.

"Also, Lavi…"

"What is it?"

Lenalee held out a box of tissues in front of her, almost like a weapon. "Please blow your nose first."

"Right!"

While Lavi was well aware of the fact that he was an amazing individual who could part-time as a miracle worker on the best of days, he still knew his limits. There was no way he could find the time to organize the times and dates and interactions necessary to help out Allen all on his own. While last time he had developed the SSGTIK, the other two members were obviously otherwise occupied in this situation. He would need to find new help.

Kanda wasn't an option. Lavi had racked his brain for the rest of the study hall on a good way to try and convince him otherwise. When he realized he was halfway through his chemistry class and Kanda was still in a bad mood from being forced out of the library the period before, Lavi gave it up for broke. Unless another miracle happened concerning the Japanese teenager, there was just no way, and convincing Kanda to get a girlfriend was probably the most miracles they were gonna get for a few years, let alone the few weeks that had passed.

So that left one option left.

Lavi had gotten to lunch earlier than usual, not even bothering to stop by his locker and unceremoniously dumping his books on a table. He had been the first in the lunch line—ah yeah—although he hadn't been paying attention to what he had been getting. Ivy was usually there first, followed by Kanda. Allen would show up soon after, Lenalee occasionally trailing behind to walk to lunch with some of her other friends. Ari was a varying entity, as already discussed.

Ivy entered the lunchroom, and Lavi took his chance while he still could. Kanda being in the area would make the conversation difficult, so this needed to be talked about now. Ivy sat her books for the next few classes down—always prepared—on the table across from Lavi before heading to the lunch line. Enacting his super awesome ninja skills, the redhead followed—

—and was promptly seen soon after. Ivy raised her eyebrow at Lavi, tossing a glance at his lunch tray in the process. She didn't need to voice the question since it was so obvious, but she chose to anyway. "What are you doing?"

Lavi had two options—BS or tell the truth. He had already lied to Lenalee earlier, and he really didn't feel like doing it twice in one day. Besides, good friendships and working relationships are based on trust, and if Ivy was going to be his only partner, they needed to work together well. Lavi grinned. "You're so observant, Ivy-chan," he said. "That's why I need you around."

Ivy kept her eyebrow raised, even while she was walking towards the lunch line. Lavi followed like some form of strange puppy/rabbit combo, sticking close behind her. "I could recognize that look from a mile away, even if you weren't being so obvious about it," she commented. "What sort of plan have you been thinking up this time?"

"A super special secret awesome and totally necessary one," Lavi answered, almost as a disclaimer. Even though he had meant to use the phrasing to seal the deal that this was as serious as a goddamn heart attack, Ivy didn't look like she was buying it. "I mean it! This is about Brit's love life!" Realizing his voice was raising again, he covered his mouth and checked that none of the parties involved were near or had overheard. Everything seemed clear, and the usual lunchroom noise covered up even Lavi's volume nicely.

"Is it now?" Ivy asked. It was really more to humor Lavi than anything; she could care less. She had her own romantic issues to deal with—it was hard adjusting to being in a relationship when you had never been in one before, not to mention when your significant other was in the same boat and was Kanda Yu. Besides, Allen should have been able to sail smoothly since he had gotten a date with Lenalee in the fall. Ivy failed to see what the problem was.

Lavi didn't seem to notice her lack of excitement—or if he did, he wasn't about to let it dampen her spirits. "Listen, I know you don't know my sister that well, but she's had this major crush on Allen for years—"

"And you want to get them together," Ivy said, finishing the thought. It was such a predictable pattern. She was caught off guard when Lavi shook his head instead, more calm than usual. "Then what is it?"

"You and I both know for a fact that Lenalee likes Allen, too." Ivy nodded. "I'm not the kind of guy that would force my sister on the Brit just 'cause it would make her happy. Not when Lenalee's involved and Allen's not even sure about his feelings. All I really want is to work in a way that helps Allen figure out which one he likes and work from there. And after that we can help them get together."

"Isn't that for them to decide?" Ivy's tone was harsher than usual, and Lavi took a step back. "No offense, Lavi, but you have a penchant for sticking your nose in places where it doesn't belong. I mean, your sister's only been back for a few weeks and you want to spring this on her? And what about Lenalee? She's perfectly capable of making the decision to stand back and wait for Allen if she wants to. Have you even talked to Allen about this?"

Lavi shook his head, and Ivy scoffed. They had made it through the lunch line to pick out their food. Ivy snatched a tray from the stack and put it down on the rack across the cafeteria with too much force. Lavi winced and focused on picking out his own lunch. At least Jerry was working today, so that made the usually questionable lunch fare look amazing.

"Come on, Ivy," he tried. The other teen didn't look back, punching her ID number into the pad next to the cashier. "I'm just trying to do them a favor like I did for you and Yu-pon." Ivy stopped while trying to walk away, turning and waiting for the redhead to finish paying for his lunch.

"Lavi, listen," Ivy said once he was done. Her voice had lost its edge, and the words were gentle. "I'm grateful for what you did for me and Yu-kun. I really am. But the fact of the matter is that you caused a lot of trouble that could have been avoided if you had just let us go at our own pace." Lavi opened his mouth to speak, but Ivy shot him a glare. "Yu-kun may not have done anything, but I was seriously considering confessing to him soon."

Lavi was surprised by the news, but kept his mouth shut. If he had known that, would he have still done the things he had and dragged Allen and Lenalee along for the ride? It was a question he really couldn't answer.

"The reason I went along with what you did was because it was speeding up the process. I used the openings you gave me to do what I wanted to do. It wasn't what I planned, but it did work. But I would have felt better if I had done everything by my own power." Ivy paused and looked down to her lunch tray then back to Lavi. "You shouldn't try and do these things without consulting with Allen first. If that's your intention, I won't help you."

"Do you think that's the best thing to do?" Lavi asked. He knew she was right; he hadn't been considering the feelings of the people he had been trying to help. Not to mention he had never been on the side of someone being helped into a relationship before. He had flirted with girls before, dated a few, but it had never been serious. Ivy gave him a look that let him know her answer to the question would be obvious. "If that's the case I really do need your help."

"Lavi, I don't need your flattery. It's not going to change any—"

"No, no, listen." Ivy kept her silence, her expression neutral. If he knew what she was feeling this would be so much easier. "If I've been looking at this all wrong, I'm going to need you to help me out. You know where I've made mistakes before and you've been on the other side of this. If there's anyone that can stop me from screwing this up, you're that person, Ivy-chan." The girl didn't respond. "I do need your help, Ivy-chan. Please?"

Ivy sighed, her shoulders sinking. "Yeah, fine," she said. Lavi would have jumped for joy if it wouldn't have sent his lunch flying everywhere. He settled for a moderate-loud cheer. The few people leaving the lunch line gave them stares, but no one from their lunch table seemed to notice. "I have a few conditions, though, so listen up."

Lavi nodded a few times. "Yes ma'am."

"We aren't going to directly interfere, nor are we going to do anything on our own. Everything we are going to do will be an assist. That is, we will discuss things with Allen beforehand, include him in planning, and help him out when he needs it. No solo missions, no pulling things out of our asses, and no doing anything he hasn't said is alright. If you can deal with that, then I'll help you."

Lavi considered the conditions. It wasn't exactly the way he had imagined this going, but it was get Ivy's help or have no one. Even if he thought he could handle it, these things were much more fun if you did them with other people. Besides, this would be the best excuse he could ever have to properly bond with his best friend's girlfriend. "I can deal," he said.

Ivy smiled. "Good. Come on, everyone will get suspicious if we're just standing around here doing nothing. I expect you want this to be a top-secret mission like last time, am I right?"

"You know me so well, Ivy-chan," Lavi said as he followed behind her.

"And Lavi?" Ivy spoke without looking back at him. "One last condition."

"What's that?"

"No playing favorites, you got that? Just because your sister's involved doesn't mean you make anything easier for her, understand? I won't stand for it."

"I understand perfectly, Ivy-chan." Oddly enough, the thought hadn't even crossed his mind. He was too busy trying to figure out what to do with the second lunch he had accidentally obtained.

So um, this story hasn't been updated in two plus years. Let's do something about that.

I know, I know, you were probably all worried that I had abandoned this thing. No need for for fear though! I've secretly been at work all summer trying to get this story back into gear, and this is the first part of that mission, Chapter 17! It really, really exists. I promise you. Since a bunch of other important things are going on with this story, let's take them one at a time.

First off, a big giant thank you to Lathya, Applur, DGMLover12564, SakuraTenshi36092, luann choi, PrincessWindNight, Sora Namikaze, and anybody else who bothered to review, follow, favorite, or just actually read this story during the two years I kind of left it publicly alone. The fact that you all happened to find this story buried under who knows what all else fanfiction are out there, let alone read through the first eight chapters of my atrocious writing to even bother to do any of those things... You're the people who ended up giving me all those little email alerts that were kind of like... Hey, I should work on this. Thank you so much for your support.

Second off, speaking of that atrocious writing! This story is five fucking years old people. I like to think that I've made improvements in my writing since then. As such, I've been working on rewriting the first eight chapters of this story to bring them more up to date and make it easier on new readers. This means that updates for this story will be alternating new chapters and new versions of the old ones until the reconstruction is complete. I understand that this may not be what you wanna hear, but if I don't rewrite this I don't think I'll feel worthy off all the attention this story gets. All the events will stay the same, just some rearrangement to make the story flow better as well as adding more detail to my writing as was suggested long ago and made a great improvement in my skill.

Third off, welcome to the new arc! I guess you could really just call this the second arc and it would do fine. I hope the direction the story's going to go in will make you all laugh a little, even as I start to slip a few more serious things in between the comedy. The new summary should give you plenty of hints where we're going to be headed. Fair warning, according to my outline, this story is going to be long no kidding. I hope you can understand the time it'll take to reach its end but still enjoy it as it comes out. However long it takes.

Fourth, sorry for the giant author's note. I just wanted you all to know I still care about this story and intend to take it to the end, all format changes aside. Thank you all again and I hope you enjoy the rest of Exception!

Next time, Lenalee gets suspicious, Kanda gets dissatisfied, and Lavi starts to plan! Please look forward to it!
