An ode to FAIL

2008-12-03T12:45:02Z

Yes friends, I must sadly inform you that good ole Sailor has fallen in unequal and unfair combat with a most treacherous fiend.

While traversing her seemingly peaceful home, she was beset and most vigorously molested by the foul scourge of toes everywhere, The Hidden Doorframe.

The villain landed a spectacularly underhanded blow, sending our Dear Friend to the unforgiving floor with a decidedly callus disregard for all established rules of genteel combat, resulting in a savage coloration of the afflicted digit.

A memorial service for the valiant martyr will be held on December 10th, at which time the swelling should have subsided enough to facilitate a simple and cheap burial.

Her dignity will be most fondly remembered, with no mention of her cowardly wails of deth.

That is all.

For anyone who wants them!

Hm, I'm sure everyone has heard of the D.Gray-Man Complete Best CD/DVD.. Lovely music.. Textless OP and ED sequences..
Well, since it seems that no one has bothered to release them as seperate files, here they are, encoded to xvid format, each is 18mb, very good quality. Comments are appreciated, as this actually took quite some time.. The original DVD file was h264/AVC and extremely difficult to edit. All files are original resoloution.

The SEME or UKE Quiz
created with QuizFarm.com

You scored as The Devilish UKE

You are by far the toughest UKE out there and possibly the most insane. Most people call you a smart-ass or a jerk but just because you get them mad at you doesn't mean you want to hurt them. There is something inside of you that hates to hurt people but the excitement is just too good to waste. Some think you're funny and others think you don't know when to quit but then again you don't really give a damn. You are a fan of comedy and comedians but only because they have the same mind that you do and they speak it so easily. If you are such a person then congratulations, the stinging whip of a Homicidal SEME may do you some good and teach you a lesson.. or make you want the punishment even more, whichever works best. Most SEME can't handle you so it's best to not scare them half to death. Most of any other UKE would befriend you in an instant if you would stop pulling tricks on them. To wrap up your description I sha'll say that you can handle anything. Any kink, and position, any ANYTHING. All you really care about is getting the punishment - some may call it masochism but you just call it heaven.

The Devilish UKE

95%

The Breaker SEME

75%

The Homicidal SEME

The great summer trip :-/

2008-08-10T07:15:46Z

Well, here I sit, four hours and 280 miles from home. I'm sure that everyone's just DYING to hear aaaall about my Great Big Ghey Birthday trip, but there's really not much to tell, I'm afraid.. Besides attending a car show and an Oldies music fest, there hasn't been much going on.. And then there's the best part! Growing Old.

As much as it saddens me to admit it, I had the wonderful experience of yoinking out a 21-inch WHITE HAIR today, isn't that just fabulous? I wept tears of pure joy, I tell you. My family was so proud, we (they) had a vote a few minutes ago and we've (THEY) decided that it should be sealed in an envelope with the date and time on it, and my child has christened the hair 'Sam'.

Sometimes I think that I must have been a mass murderer in a past life, because my Karma is so bad that I don't believe there's even a number for it.

Besides the quite obvious FAIL of my birthday-Eve (yea, thats a real day, I just invented it) I think things could be looking up.. I rode a freaking elephant on Friday, and I had an absolutely OmuhGawdDeadly hawt redhead talk me into sweatin' to the oldies earlier tonight, so maybe life will continue to improve as the new week wears on, eh? (I feel terrible tho, that boy couldn't have been a day over 20, poor thing)

Anyone with a NON-HAIR-RELATED commen is free to do so XD

Ok, I lied

2008-06-10T04:01:33Z

Well, I was going to keep Mr. Evil for a while, but since I made this, I decided to use it instead. As often as people IM about these "layouts", I wonder if I should upload them somewhere, with the colorcodes and sizes I use so other people can try them.. Gives me something to think about, Maybe I'll stick a few on AssHat and see if it catches on XD

New Layout

2008-05-27T05:41:06Z

Now, even though I usually don't like to brag.. Damn, but doesn't Mr. Mikk just make an LJ hot? XD Did this from the '08 DGM Calender image, with MSPaint and resize/colorwash with PaintShopPro.. Not bad for 20 minutes total! I <3 it!

Oh, I almost forgot XD

2008-05-15T14:57:24Z

Sadly, my mind isn't quite what it used to be. For anyone who's still interested, here's the first 4 chapters and the first omake of that sequel:

Now, that's better. I'll also update the main fic list in the mems, check back there or on the website for updates, and take a look around! There's a really GREAT fic there called The Fine Line, by my good friend Niamh!

Epilogue of Invention..And an added bonus for the faithful!

2008-04-28T16:53:37Z

Here's the 10th and final chapter of Invention, please enjoy it!

Invention Is The Mother Of Necessity

A Fanfiction By SailorLight22

Chapter 10 - Inside Out

****************************************************

Okay here's the end. Well, maybe there will be an epilogue, not sure just yet. For anyone who's still with me, thank you.

For the people who have been most prominently 'encouraging', let me say this: HA! Now that this is finished, I shall sequester myself far from your armsreach, and return to my writing of badfic and nonsense!

Or not. Actually, (coughNiamhcough) I think someone may have a few ideas for my.. Freetime. Look forward to that, and in the meantime, read the fic that makes me love this person. It's good, trust me. Besides, who doesn't need a little more normal in their routine?
(snort of amusement@the relativity of normal)

And as a final note, all reviews, whether by mail, im or onsite, are welcomed and greatly appreciated!

****************************************************

There was, Kanda decided, something to be said for the intricate layout of the Exorcist's headquarters. Currently wrapped in a thin white blanket, the swordsman examined the possibility that he could spend the rest of the evening in the shallow alcove that had so conveniently presented itself in his hour of need. Gingerly touching his aching sides, he grumbled in mild irritation at the thought of being found in such a place by his vengeful white-haired lover.

The sound of approaching footsteps brought him to his feet, his eyes widening at the state of his..apparel. Inching further into the shadows, he realized with a start that the person's gait was unfamiliar to him. The footfalls were far to light to be any of the men he knew, but were heavier and less sure than Linali's. Curious, he took a step forward, glancing quickly down the corridor as the sounds drew closer to his hiding place.

At first, the shadowed hallway concealed the person's form in darkness, but as they passed beneath a dim gaslight, he made out the familiar features and wringing hands of Miranda Lotte. Raising an eyebrow, he wondered at her appearance in this particular corridor. 'Probably lost,' He thought, rolling his eyes.

Sighing in exasperated defeat, he moved further into the open, clearing his throat to catch the woman's attention. At the sound, she looked up. Blinking, she took in the white-shrouded form, her eyes widening with open horror. "A GHOST!" She shrieked, backpedaling frantically, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Please don't eat me, I took a wrong turn!" As Kanda gaped stupidly at her, she whirled around, sprinting full tilt around the corner.

For a moment, there was only the sound of her rapid footsteps, and then a horrible thud cut through the woman's hasty retreat. Curious, the swordsman ventured to the corner, peering cautiously around the bend. Apparently the hallway had once led to others, but now there was only a solid wall. On the floor, the timid woman's body lay crumpled in an painful-looking heap. In her rush to escape the 'ghost', she'd mistaken the turn for the one she'd previously traversed, and had slammed headlong into the altered stonework.

Seeing the steady rise and fall of her chest, Kanda shook his head in relief. Explaining the death of an almost-competant Exorcist would be tedious, and he was in no mood for an official report meeting, as he was severely underdressed for company.

Stepping carefully, he wrapped the blanket around himself more tightly, pulling the edges away from his feet. Taking a final glance at the gently twitching body, he smirked faintly before making his way cautiously back towards his quarters.

Hoping that his lover would be more concerned with dinner than seeking him out, he relaxed slightly as he crossed into less secluded halls. So far, he hadn't seen anyone, and he prayed that everyone would be in the cafeteria or on duty for as long as it would take to reach his room.

His luck held until he was only steps from his door.

As he began to sigh in relief, he suddenly tensed, sensing eyes upon him. He turned, eyes narrowed with malice as he opened his mouth to deliver a hideous threat to whoever stood watching. His voice faltered as he met the cooly assessing gaze of one Linali Lee.

After a moment, she frowned, shaking her head. "Kanda, as much as I would like to just turn around and walk away, I have to know one thing.." She pressed a hand to her face, her voice quiet. "One thing, Kanda, and I swear that the question has been bothering me for days."

She paused, once again allowing her eyes to drift briefly over his nearly exposed chest. He gathered the blanket closer to his body, studiously ignoring the dull flush that had crept steadily up his neck. Raising one thin brow, he indicated for her to finish her question.

She smiled, quickly stifling her exasperated laugh as the now furiously blushing man growled in annoyance. "All right, all right!" She said, waving her hand reassuringly. "I just wondered....Who's the Seme?"

For a time, he merely stared at her. Then, he narrowed his eyes again. "What!? I don't think either of us will be discussing that with you. Now, if you don't mind, I'd like to go to my room. Good Evening, Linali."

He turned, yanking the door open with one last glare at the smirking girl before slamming it closed again. Shaking her head in amusement, she turned to a seemingly deserted alcove.

"You owe me ten bucks, Mister!" She giggled, sticking out her hand. "I told you he wouldn't answer!"

Allen stepped out, frowning. "Oh, I knew he wouldn't tell you. I just expected him to get a lot angrier." He grinned, laughing quietly. "But it's still worth every penny, just to see the look on his face when you said that!" He covered his mouth, knowing that his lover would recognize his voice even through the thick wood of the door.

She smiled tolerantly, her hand still extended.

Allen looked at her, then down to her hand. Grinning sheepishly, he laughed. "Right now?" Linali nodded firmly.

"Right now."

He shook his head, digging into his pockets.

****************************************************

Kanda sighed in relief, fastening the last button of his new shirt. He'd never appreciated his clothing until that very instant, and he found himself absurdly grateful for the Order's generosity.

Sinking onto the bed, he closed his eyes and allowed his mind to wander over the last several days. He found it hard to believe that so much could change in so little time.. 'I would never have imagined that this could happen,' He thought, smiling faintly. 'If someone had told me that I'd be in a serious relationship with Allen Walker within the space of a week, I'd have either laughed or killed them!'

His smile faded as he thought about how close he'd come to missing his chance. 'If it hadn't have been for that idiot Komui, would any of this be happening?' He opened his eyes, glancing toward the door. 'I would have never known that he cared so much..'

Sitting up, he decided that it was time to show his newfound lover exactly why one should never tickle a naked samurai.

****************************************************

Allen shivered, wondering at the slightly uneasy feeling that passed as quickly as it had begun.

****************************************************

Linali was on a mission.

After knocking several times on the traumatized woman's door, she realized that a search was in order. Quickly checking the common areas of the building, she sighed in frustration . 'Where in the world is she? 'Nii-san said she wasn't on assignment, and she isn't in her room..' Thinking for a moment, she smiled. 'I'll bet she was wandering around like she does at night, and got lost.'

Shaking her head, she returned to the corridor that ran alongside the one leading to the Exorcist's quarters,remembering that the older woman had often taken the wrong turn when she'd first come to the Order's headquarters. Turning down the long-unused passage, she noticed almost immediately that there were several smudges in the dust which layered the floor. Leaning down, she made out the imprint of a narrow shoe.

Straightening, she followed the trail of footprints as they wandered through the hall, seeing that they wove back and forth erratically. Turning a corner, she saw a broad sweep of marks, as if the woman had dragged her feet or possibly her coat. Taking a closer look, Linali saw the tale tell markings of her quarry's shoes , running alongside the odd trail. Following them back, she gasped as she spotted the woman's crumpled form.

Rushing to her side, she sighed in relief as she saw the woman's steady breathing. "Oh, Miranda-chan," She giggled, "What am I going to do with you?" Activating her Innocence, she gathered the woman in her arms, heading back towards the occupied parts of the building. Finding the Exorcist in such a state was a slight setback for what she had planned, but she was willing to wait.

"Maybe I should hold off on showing her that one book," She mumbled to herself, "She might pass out on me, and that would defeat the whole point." Reaching the end of the corridor, she managed to hoist the older woman to her feet, supporting her weight as she unlocked her door. Dragging her 'guest' inside, she laid her on the bed.

Crossing to the bathroom, she filled a small bowl with water and retrieved a washcloth, carrying the items to the bedside table. Soaking the cloth, she wiped the twitching woman's forehead, gently calling her name until she stirred.

"Linali-chan..? What..Oh, my goodness!" The woman bolted up, wavering as her sudden movement made her head spin with dizziness. "The ghost, did you see it too? It was awful, I was so afraid that it was going to..!" The girl stared at her in amused confusion.

"I didn't see anything like that, I found you lying on the floor by yourself, Miranda-chan. After I saw that you were all right, I brought you back here." She smiled, patting the woman's hand reassuringly. "Maybe you just thought you saw something? I've never heard of a ghost here.." She trailed off, an idea striking her. "Was... was it wearing anything? A sheet, maybe?"

The older woman frowned, nodding. "It was tall, and it was wearing a shroud. It looked like something out of a horror story, Linali-chan. It appeared out of thin air, all pale and quiet, with long hair that covered most of it's face..!"

Forcing her face into a calm smile, Linali pushed down the urge to laugh. 'If she only knew..' She thought, shaking her head. Meeting the woman's wide eyes, she nodded. "It's gone now, whatever it was. I'm sure you'll never see it again, Miranda-chan."

The frightened Exorcist nodded fervently. "I hope not, I thought I was going to die.."

Linali smiled reassuringly. "It's all right now, so just forget about it. Actually, I wanted to talk to you about some things, Miranda-chan." The woman blinked at her warily.

"I didn't do something wrong, did I? I'm so sorry, I'm always messing things up without thinking..!" She would likely have carried on well into the evening, but Linali decided to get straight to the point.

"No, you haven't done anything! I just wanted to ask you if Allen-kun's relationship with Kanda bothered you.. You seem uncomfortable around them now, I noticed it at breakfast." She paused, patting the older woman's hand. "Are they the first same sex couple you've really known?"

Miranda nodded slowly, her face flushed. "I'm not...upset really, but I've never had a chance to talk to anyone about things like that. They seem so..I don't know, happy. Like they don't care if people think it's wrong." She glanced away. "Does it bother you, Linali-chan? I like them both very much, but I don't want you to be angry at me if I shouldn't accept them..!"

Linali laughed in relief. 'This may not be so hard after all,' She thought, walking to her desk. Riffling quickly through the top drawer, she returned to the woman's side, offering her a slightly worn book. "Here, take a look at this."

The nervous woman opened the book cautiously, her eyes widening in shock. She looked up at the girl in open astonishment. "Linali-chan, this..you.. Oh, my goodness!" She blushed a shocking purplish-red color, her eyes drawn back to the pages almost as if she had no control of herself. "But, wherever did you get something like this? Does your brother know?!" She giggled hysterically as the girl smiled.

"He wouldn't care. I'm not really sure if I should tell you this, but 'Nii-san doesn't like women. Actually, he's just gotten together with Lavi-kun."

The elder woman fidgeted, glancing between the book and the girl beside her. "You.. don't mind it? I wouldn't know what to do if it were my brother.. Do they love each other, the way Allen-kun and Kanda-san do?" Linali smiled at her curiosity.

"Lavi-kun has been trying to work up the courage to confess his feelings to 'Nii-san for a long time.. 'Nii-san might not be ready for a permanent relationship yet, but you know how Lavi-kun has a way of convincing people. They'll be all right, I trust them not to hurt each other, or I wouldn't have let it go so easily. 'Nii-san is quite a bit older you know."

The woman nodded. "Your brother seems a little.. I mean, he's excitable sometimes, but I trust him. Lavi-kun hasn't really talked to me, but he doesn't seem like a bad person either. I'm happy that my friends are finding people to care about, whether it's a man or a woman.. Do you have anyone, Linali-chan?" She gasped, shaking her head. "I'm sorry, that's not my business!"

Linali shook her head. "It's fine, don't worry. I don't really have anyone right now, but I'm not looking too hard, I have so much I want to do before that. Do you have anyone, Miranda-chan?" The dark haired woman blushed, looking away.

"I've never.. I mean, no one wanted.. No, I don't have anyone." She sighed. "I don't think I'll ever find anyone who'd want me like that, I'm just so.." Trailing off, she shook her head.

Linali frowned in sympathy. "There's nothing wrong with you at all, you just haven't met very many people! I'll tell you what," She grinned. "Since you think it's impossible, how about I help you a little? I can introduce you to some of the people here, people that like the things you like. Maybe having more friends will make you more confident?"

The older woman blinked back tears. "Linali-chan.. You'd do that for me?" The younger girl nodded.

"Of course! Friends do things like that for each other all the time. But before that.." She grinned widely. "Would you like to borrow this? I've got about a dozen more if you'd rather pick another.."

Miranda's face was completely scarlet as she nodded. "I am finished with all my other books..."

****************************************************

Lavi spent an entire day grinning like an idiot. Now, by itself that would be a normal thing, but on this absolutely splendid day, he was grinning like an idiot in love. After being dismissed by a thoroughly disgusted Bookman, he returned to his room, falling facedown on the bed. Gathering the pillow in his arms, he inhaled the subtle scent of his hopefully soon-to-be lover.

Rolling onto his back, he allowed his mind to wander to the previous night. Komui's acceptance of his feelings had been a welcome surprise for the boy, even if the older man had made an effort to establish a few 'ground rules'. Smiling at the memory, Lavi sighed.

"I'll just have to be patient," He murmured, sitting up. "He did say he'd try, so that's half the battle right there!" Hearing footsteps approaching his door, he rose to his feet. 'That can't be him already,' He thought, 'His work wouldn't even be half finished by now..' After a pause, there was a quiet knock. Shaking his head, he opened the door curiously.

A strange sight met his gaze, and for a moment he stood transfixed. "Yuu...Is everything all right?" He asked cautiously, stepping back to admit his visitor. Kanda strode past him quickly, indicating that he should close the door. Obliging his friend, Lavi turned to stare at the other boy's eerily smiling face.

"I need you to help me." He said, his frightening grin firmly in place. Lavi nodded warily.

"Help you..? Ah, what do you need?" The samurai pulled the room's only chair over, sitting down before replying.

"Moyashi has done a very bad thing. He needs to be punished."

Lavi frowned, nodding. "What did you have in mind? Wait, what do you mean, a bad thing? What did he do?" To his surprise, the younger boy's face colored slightly.

"That doesn't matter! Will you help me or not?" His smile had thankfully faded, giving his expression a touch of his usual glare. The redhead snorted.

"Yeah, whatever. If it's that bad, I'm sure I'll hear about it eventually. What do you want me to do?" Kanda smirked.

"Nothing much.. I just want you to sneak into his room and take all of his clothes and hide them." The boy stared at him.

"What the hell do you mean, nothing much? Where is he going to be, just wandering around not thinking about someone stealing his stuff? What if he catches me, how the shit would I even attempt to explain?"

The swordsman waved off his protest. "He'll be with me, idiot. All you have to do is come in, take the stuff and leave, simple as that!" Seeing the other about to speak, he shook his head. "He won't have any idea that it was you, and he won't catch you. I'll keep him..Occupied until I know you're out."

Lavi stared. "Occupied how? Nevermind, I don't wanna know. But how would you know I was gone?" The younger Exorcist frowned at him.

"We'll be in the bathroom. I've got better hearing than he does, so I'd know when it was safe to come out."

Raising his hands defensively, the horrified boy backed away. "Have you lost your mind?! No way am I going in there with you two in the next room screwing around!" Kanda sighed tiredly.

"Don't be stupider than usual, Lavi. There won't be anything like that going on, who do you think I am, you? I'll just get him in there, wait for you to come in and leave, then I'll make an excuse to come out and leave too." Reluctantly appeased, the Bookman in training nodded slowly.

"You swear? No jokes Yuu, if I hear so much as a whimper, I'm so out of there..."

Kanda waved off his threat. "Yes, yes.. Will you do it or not?"

Lavi sighed, massaging his temples. "All right, when?"

Rising to his feet, the samurai grinned ferally. "This evening, right after dinner. Just wait for us to leave, and follow. When you hear the bathroom door close, come in, do your part and go. That's it." Walking to the door, he paused. "And try not to let anyone see you. I'll be back for his things eventually."

When the door was safely between him and his oldest friend, Lavi returned to the bed, burying his head beneath the pillow. Willing away his unease, a thought occurred to him. Bolting upright, he groaned. "Shit, Komui's supposed to drop by sometime after dinner! I can't believe I forgot.."

Flopping back down, he sighed. "I guess I could leave a note, just in case.. I'll just have to hurry a little. God, why did I let Yuu talk me into this?"

****************************************************

The rest of the evening passed uneventfully, with Allen settling warily beside a stoic Kanda at the dinner table. After several minutes of silence, the younger boy had leaned in closer, whispering a soft apology in the swordsman's ear.

"Please don't ignore me, Kanda..I really am sorry." Grunting in reply, the other rose.

"Let's go somewhere else to talk, Moyashi. Your quarters, perhaps?" The white-haired boy nodded eagerly, following his lover to the doors, completely unaware of the slim shape that trailed several corridors behind them.

Reaching his rooms, Allen quickly opened the door, moving aside to allow his companion to enter. As soon as the door closed, he found himself pressed firmly against the cool wood, his lover's body leaning over him.

"Moyashi, I have half a mind to spank you for what you did." The other said quietly, narrowing his eyes at the boy's smirk. "You think it's funny that I had to run around practically naked ?" Allen shook his head, forcing himself to be serious.

"I said I was sorry.. I didn't think you'd actually go out there, Kanda." He bit his lip, looking up at the boy's dark eyes. "Please don't be angry with me, let me make it up to you..?" Kanda smiled slightly.

"Don't give me those eyes, I know you're sorry Moyashi." Moving closer, he nuzzled against the boy's collar before continuing. "It's been a long day.. All that dust, and then training after that.. It makes me think that I should clean up a little.." Allen's eyes widened at his tone, his pulse skyrocketing as he felt the samurai's teeth on his throat.

"Clean..up? Do you mean take a..Kanda!" He gasped, his hands fisting tightly into the boy's shirt as he pressed closer, bringing their bodies together. "Oh God, I can't think when you're doing that..." He whispered, closing his eyes.

The taller boy leaned back, his smile widening. "That's the idea, koi. You're all hot and sweaty too, aren't you? Maybe you'd like to join me in the bath.." He stepped away, unbuttoning his shirt and slipping it over his arms. "Or you could just watch?"

Allen nodded dumbly, his face reddening. "Whatever you like, make yourself at home.."

Kanda turned, heading for the bathroom. "Well, when you put it that way.." He opened the door, glancing back at the flustered Exorcist. "Coming, Moyashi?"

The boy jerked, squeaking in surprise at his insinuating look. "Yes, sorry.. I'll be right there." He smiled brightly, taking a deep breath. Following his smirking lover into the smaller room, he leaned against the sink as the samurai dropped his shirt to the floor.

Kanda leaned down, turning on the water. Feeling the other's eyes on him, he grinned evilly. Straightening, he faced his fidgeting lover, two short steps bringing his close enough to touch. Moving slowly, he wrapped one arm around the boy's waist, his free hand tugging his shirt free of his pants. "Let's get rid of this, hm?"

Allen shivered, nodding silently as the older boy began to unbutton his shirt. Allowing him to tug it off, he swallowed at the hungry expression on the swordsman's face. Kicking the door closed with his foot, Kanda dropped his hands to his lover's waist. Hearing his sharp intake of breath, he pulled him closer, his lips returning to their place on the other's throat.

"Delicious," He murmured, his voice sending a shock of heat through the younger boy's body. "Maybe I could have a better taste after the bath?" Allen whimpered softly, nodding.

"Anything you want.. Please?" Kanda laughed, moving his lips from the boy's neck. Hearing a cautious step behind the door, he dropped a hand to his lover's pants, pressing their mouths together as he unfastened the button and tugged down the zipper. Certain that the white-haired boy was completely oblivious to his surroundings, he slipped the material over his hips and let them drop to the floor, urging him to step out of them.

Deepening their kiss, he sought out the boy's tongue with his own, feeling his muffled moan through the contact. Tracing the line of his lover's teeth, he slid his fingers along the waist of Allen's underwear. Pulling back, he smiled lazily. "Let me turn off the water, so there aren't any..Accidents later." He returned to the tub, twisting the knobs briskly.

Allen gripped the edge of the sink with shaking hands as he watched the older boy's approach. "Is it ready..?" Kanda nodded slowly, pulling him forward for another kiss. Listening intently, he smiled inwardly as he heard the room's door close stealthily.

"Drop these," He tugged at the offending garment with one finger. "And get in. I'll put your things in the hamper, and then I'm going to lock your door, since you forgot to do it before we came in." Allen frowned, nodding.

"I did forget.. Thank you for noticing." Kanda felt a slight twinge of guilt at the boy's bright smile, but he shoved it down in favor of regaining some semblance of his former dignity. Leaving the bathroom with Allen's shirt and pants in hand, he pulled the door closed behind him, making his way to the exit with a grin.

He opened the door silently, taking care to turn the lock as he closed it just as softly behind himself.

****************************************************

Allen sank into the warm water, sighing quietly. After a moment, he opened his eyes, confused. "Kanda, is everything all right? Kanda?" He listened intently, frowning at the continued silence. Exiting the bath, he wrapped a towel around his hips, peeking through the door with a shiver. "Is something...wrong...Hey, where are you?"

Glancing around, he blinked. "Kanda...?"

Stepping fully into the deserted room, he narrowed his eyes. 'He wouldn't have...Would he?'He thought, opening his wardrobe. Staring for a moment, he closed his eyes. "Where...the HELL are my CLOTHES? Kanda, you bastard! Where are my clothes? It's freezing in here!"

A quick search of the room revealed nothing, not even so much as a spare shirt. Huffing in irritation, he turned to the bed, a new wave of rage flooding him. "You even took the SHEETS? Argh!" He stomped to the bathroom, snatching his discarded undergarments from the floor. "At least he didn't take everything.. God I can't believe I fell for that..! Stupid, stupid, stupid!" He fumed, clenching his hands.

Sliding to the floor, he sighed. "Maybe he'll come back.."

****************************************************

Lavi slammed his door, breathing heavily. Looking around, he bit his lip in thought. 'Damnit, where am I gonna stash this stuff?' He wondered, at a loss. Glancing at the clock, he swore. "Shit! It's too late to take it anywhere else!" As he tried to decode what to do, he heard footsteps approaching his door. Willing them to be someone other than his expected guest, he thumped his head on the door when a familiar humming registered.

Whirling around, he snatched up the bundled clothes, still wrapped in the unfortunate boy's sheets. He yanked open the closet, stuffing them inside and quickly latched the door. Hearing the steps pause, he straightened his jacket. Hoping to appear somewhat less than guilty, he forced a smile as the man outside knocked lightly.

Walking to the door, he froze in mid-stride as he spotted a piece of the other boy's clothing on the floor. He quickly shoved it beneath the bed, sighing at the almost fatal mistake. Smiling determinedly, he opened the door, snatching a surprised Komui by the arm and dragging him inside.

He closed the door behind them, turning to face his guest. "I was wondering when you'd get here! Busy day?" The man smiled, nodding.

"There were a lot of forms that had to be done, but nothing really important. Were you waiting long?" The redhaired boy shook his head, stepping close.

"I had something to do earlier, so I wasn't here until a few minutes ago. I'm glad that I didn't miss you, I've been looking forward to seeing you." He ignored the stab of guilt at what the 'something' was, meeting the taller man's gaze. "Did you miss me, Komui? You seemed..Distracted when you left last night."

The scientist turned an interesting shade of pink as he looked away. "Of course I was, Lavi. You're a most distracting person." He cleared his throat meaningfully. "And yes, I was actually looking forward to seeing you too." He looked down at the boy's mischievous smile. "Would you like to talk about anything in particular, or did you just want to be amusing?" Lavi snickered at his false indignation.

"Well, there was something that bothered me earlier.." He stepped forward, backing the man towards the bed. When he could go no further, he slipped his arms around his waist with a disarming smile. Komui's eyes widened, his mouth suddenly dry.

"What's that..?" He said, swallowing nervously. The boy leaned up, his hands fisting into the material of the man's jacket.

"I wondered if you still tasted like coffee." The scientist's quiet gasp was muffled by the boy's mouth, his lips pressed insistently to the older man's as his hands relaxed their grip and started to roam over his back. After a moment, he pulled back for air, his smile faintly self-satisfied at the other's slightly dazed expression. "Hm, you do. Does all that caffeine make you hyper, Komui?"

The man nodded faintly, his breathing uneven.

Lavi's smile turned wicked. "Good." Tugging the heavy coat off of the scientist's shoulders, he dropped it onto the chair by the bed. "Oh, your all bunched up. Why don't you lose the boots and lie down? I'll fix you right up!" Without waiting for a reply, he practically bounced to the bathroom, humming tunelessly as he riffled through a drawer for a bottle of lotion.

Komui laughed quietly, shaking his head at the boy's antics. He sat down, tugging off his footwear with a sigh. Setting them aside, he noticed that a pen had fallen from his coat pocket. He leaned down to retrieve it, freezing as a flash of bright red caught his eye.

Dropping the pen into a handy pocket, he cautiously picked up the scrap of fabric, snorting as it turned out to be a pair of undershorts. He straightened the material in his hands, still smirking. His laugh cut off abruptly when a set of embroidered initials came into view.

Lavi returned to the bed, his steps light as he imagined the feeling of the man's warm skin beneath his eager hands. "Here we are, you can...Hey, what's that?" The older man stood, his expression uncharacteristically serious.

"Lavi, is there something you'd like to tell me?" The boy shook his head, nonplussed. Komui took a deep breath, meeting his curious gaze squarely. "Nothing at all? Something that might have slipped your mind?"

The Exorcist frowned, still confused. "No, I'm sure. Why do you ask?"

Komui thrust the clothing at him with a quiet growl. "Then please, please explain to me why you have Allen Walker's underwear hidden under your bed?" He narrowed his eyes as the boy's face paled. "Think really hard, because it had better be the best damn story a Bookman ever told."

Lavi squeaked at the furious glint in the man's eyes, fidgeting nervously. "It's not what you're thinking! I only took them because Yuu asked me to!" Komui snorted.

"You expect me to believe that Kanda just marched in here and said 'Please Lavi, hold on to my lover's dirty underwear for me!' ?" Lavi nodded quickly.

"He said to take the clothes and stash them somewhere. I don't know when, but he said he'd be back for them eventually.." He trailed off as the man began to laugh. "Um..'Mui? What's..." He jerked back as the scientist flung the garment to the floor, seizing his hand and pulling him forward. "It's true, I swear! I know it looks..!"

The older man cut him off, pressing their lips together possessively. Lavi's eye widened briefly before slipping closed, a surprised moan rising in his throat as the other caught his lower lip in his teeth, demanding entry. After a long moment, Komui broke away, his expression faintly alarmed.

"Did you change your mind, Lavi?" He asked, his voice low. "You said that you'd wait for me, but those make me think otherwise."

Lavi shook his head quickly, his expression desperate. "No! It isn't like that, Komui. I told you, I don't want anybody but you! Please let me explain, it was just a stupid joke!" The scientist nodded slowly, tugging the other down with him as he returned to his seat.

"All right. Start at the beginning, please?" The Exorcist smiled brightly.

"Sure thing. In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth.." Komui laughed, shaking his head.

"Stop, just forget it. If it were really something bad, not even a clown like you could try that one. Just don't let me catch you playing around, please? If you do change your mind, I want to be the first to know."

Lavi nodded. "I wouldn't do that to you. I'm not going to change anything, I'll wait for as long as you need me to." He turned his face into the man's chest with a sigh. "I really do love you, even if you don't feel like that yet."

Komui wrapped his arms around the boy's shoulders, resting his chin on top of his head. "I believe you, Lavi. I'm not angry, it was just...surprising." Smiling faintly, he nudged the Exorcist's face with his cheek. "I don't know if this is really as hopeless as you seem to think, though." He nipped teasingly at the redhead's ear, soothing the sting with his lips. "For a second, I believe I was almost jealous.."

Lavi's breath caught, his face lifting to stare at the man in quiet shock. "Almost..?" Komui nodded seriously.

"Jealous. You said you were mine, Lavi. Even if I don't have the same feelings that you do, telling me that you belong to me is a pretty good way to make me want to keep you." He smiled, pressing a soft kiss against the boy's jaw. "If I'm going to make this work, I'm sure as hell not letting someone else come between us before we even get started."

He sighed against the other's skin, his mouth moving slowly over the line of the boy's pulse. "I was wondering about something earlier too, you know."

The redhead shivered, clearing his head to reply. "What was it?" He whispered, closing his eye as the man's soft laugh sent a faint rush of tingles up his spine. Komui sucked briefly on the junction of his neck and shoulder before responding.

"I wondered if you keep it so dim in here on purpose.. Being in dark places makes people want to be closer, doesn't it?" He smiled at the boy's quickened pulse. "Would you like to be closer, Lavi? Your candle is getting low.." He nodded towards the room's only illumination, on a low shelf nearby. "It would be a shame if it went out before you had another one ready."

Lavi blinked at him owlishly. "No, it's fine. I've got more...Somewhere." He waved a hand vaguely. "Does the dark bother you, Komui? I can look for.." He trailed off, gasping quietly when the other shook his head.

"I don't mind the dark, Lavi.. Was there something I needed to see besides you?" The Exorcist's hands shook slightly as he pressed them against the scientist's back, urging him forward.

"Nothing that you couldn't see anytime you wanted.." He mumbled softly, the closeness of the other's lips distracting his thoughts. "Is there something you wanted to see?"

Komui smiled faintly. "There was one thing.." He moved back, pulling the surprised boy into the center of the bed. Leaning on one arm, he placed his free hand on the redhead's chest, fingers tracing absent circles on the fabric as he pushed him down. "You get the strangest look on your face sometimes," He said, bending closer. "It's almost like you're worried about something. Is it because I make you nervous?"

Lavi shook his head, relaxing. "I want to make you happy, but I'm not sure if I can. That's the only thing that worries me." He sighed, stretching his arms over is head. "It isn't your fault that I get nervous, Komui. I just don't know what you like yet, so I'm trying to figure things out." He took the man's hand, pulling him down beside him. "I know that you like kissing.." He smiled, leaning up to demonstrate briefly. "And I'm pretty sure that you like it when I touch you."

Komui nodded, humming contentedly as the boy's hand slipped under the hem of his shirt, fingers digging at the tightened muscles. "Oh, that's wonderful.." He sighed, leaning into the contact. "You have no idea how uncomfortable the lab chairs are after about ten hours.." Lavi chuckled.

"Well, before Allen's evil underwear made their debut, I was going to do something about that.." He sat up, leaning over his companion to retrieve the bottle he'd sat by the bed. "Lose the shirt, hm?"

The scientist nodded, tugging it over his head. "Better?" He asked, stretching out on his stomach. Lavi smiled, laughing as the candle guttered and went out, plunging the room into darkness.

"Much better. Too bad about the light, but I'm pretty sure that I can feel my way around. Now, you just stay right where you are and let me see if I remember the stuff I read about massages.."

****************************************************

Kanda groaned in irritation, rubbing his eyes. "Damn it, I can't just leave him like that all night.." He stood, throwing himself a dirty look in the mirror as he passed it. "Less than two hours and I'm sitting here like an idiot, worried that he'll be sad instead of mad!" His reflection scowled back at him, reminding him that he still hadn't bathed.

"Well, at least he has his shorts.." He muttered, shaking his head as he walked to the door. "How bad could it be, it's not like I'm scared.."

He reached into his dresser, snatching a clean shirt and a pair of comfortable pants. Pausing, he growled at himself and took another set of clothes from the drawer, slamming it shut. Flipping off the light, he locked the door and headed in the direction of his lover's room, cursing his weakness in an altogether unconvincing manner the entire way.

****************************************************

Okay here's this part, starts out lemon, so get happy!

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Allen closed his eyes, winding his fingers into his lover's silky hair as he moaned softly. The sensation of Kanda's hands roaming over him was indescribable, his nerves tingling in the wake of those lingering touches...

Gasping, he arched into the contact as the older boy held him tightly. Opening his eyes, he gazed blearily at the face before him, the other boy's blue eyes hazed with passion as he closed the distance between them. He whimpered softly as he felt the tip of the samurai's tongue stroking across his lip, and opened to allow him entrance.

Kanda smiled against the other boy's mouth, accepting the silent invitation as he pulled his lover close, gripping his hips as he continue to move slowly against him. Allen's soft noises of pleasure sent shivers through him, urging him on as the warm water lapped unnoticed over the sides of the tub in small waves.

He moved away slightly, his hands coming to rest on the white haired boy's waist as he shifted until their bodies were aligned perfectly, turning his attention to the other's throat.

Allen's eyes slid closed, his head thrown back as he pressed himself brazenly against the swordsman's chest, needing to feel him. Kanda murmured soft endearments against his neck, the slight tickle of his words raising gooseflesh over the boy's exposed skin as the water continued to pool on the floor beside them.

Releasing his tight grip on Kanda's shoulders, he pulled back reluctantly. The older boy raised his eyes in inquiry, suddenly concerned that he might be pressuring his partner into a repeat of their earlier intimacy before he was ready. Seeing his wary expression, Allen shook his head, smiling.

"It's all right, Kanda," He assured him, chuckling slightly at the other Exorcist's obvious relief. "I just thought that we should continue this elsewhere, since it appears that we're making another mess in here."

Tilting his head, he indicated the rather large puddle on the floor. Kanda frowned, struggling to maintain his composure as the urge to laugh struck him. "I...see," He replied, allowing a small smirk to replace his stern facade. "Allow me a moment.."

Fishing about for the discarded washcloth, he rinsed the remaining soap from himself, smiling as he noticed Allen's eyes following the cloth's movement across his skin. Wordlessly, he motioned to the boy's own chest and stomach, where a sheen of soap also remained.

Taking the hint, Allen rinsed himself as well, and reached for the knob to drain the water. Kanda stood, offering his hand to the shorter boy.

Pulling Allen to his feet, Kanda stepped out of the tub, avoiding the puddle as he retrieved the towels he'd placed on the counter. Handing one to Allen, he led him into the adjoining room to dry off.

Slinging his towel casually about his waist, he watched as Allen drew his own towel over himself with unconscious grace. Sensing the samurai's intense scrutiny, Allen flushed lightly as he smiled. "Could you hand me my shirt?" He asked, pointing to the bedside. Kanda nodded, retrieving it from the floor and holding it out to him.

"Are you cold?" He asked, noticing the boy's slight shiver. Allen nodded. "Just a bit. I'm still not used to the chill here, even after all this time."

Kanda raised an eyebrow in mock consideration. "Is that so?" He asked, moving closer. "We can't have that, now can we? Come here." He opened his arms to enfold the younger boy, his smile widening slightly.

Allen laughed softly, welcoming the embrace. "You'll keep me warm, won't you?" He teased, relaxing against the other boy's chest contentedly. Kanda nodded, his voice low as he replied.

"Of course, Moyashi. I intend to keep you... very warm."

Raising his head, Allen slipped a hand up to clasp the taller boy's neck as their lips met in a slow kiss. Kanda tightened his hold slightly, backing towards the bed. Feeling the edge, he lowered himself into a sitting position, pulling Allen down to straddle him. Breaking away gently, he sighed.

"Are you sure it's not too soon, Allen?" He asked, concerned that he might hurt his love by not allowing him the time he needed to recover from their earlier acts.

Allen shook his head, his eyes serious as he tried to reassure his partner. "I'm fine, Kanda. I told you that it didn't hurt before, so please don't worry."

Nodding, Kanda sighed again, this time in relief. "I had thought that you might need more time, Moyashi. I didn't want to make you do anything that might be uncomfortable for you."

Allen smiled, grateful for the other's concern for him. "The only thing I need more of is you, Kanda." He whispered, his face heating slightly at his own boldness.

The swordsman's eyes darkened as he ran a hand across Allen's back, his fingers toying gently with the hem of his shirt. "Is that so?" He lifted his free hand to the boy's face, closing the distance between them until they were mere centimeters apart.

Allen nodded, his pulse rising at their closeness.

Kanda continued, his lips brushing slightly against Allen's as he spoke. "Is this what you need, Allen?" He asked, allowing their mouths to meet for a moment before pulling away. "Or was there something else? This, perhaps?" His hand slipped down to stroke the skin beneath the boy's shirt, a slight intake of breath rewarding his actions.

Smiling, he pressed his mouth to his lover's again, tracing the line of the other's bottom lip with his tongue before slowly exploring that warm wetness.

Allen shivered, a groan escaping him as he felt Kanda's hand dip lower. A rush of sensation threatened to overwhelm him as he felt those hands gripping his skin, fingers splayed out as if to touch as much as possible. Struggling to think, he opened his eyes as an idea struck him.

Smiling, he shifted his weight, and felt the body beneath him respond as he ground himself downwards. Kanda answered his movement with an upward thrust, his arms tightening as his mouth left a damp trail over Allen's throat.

Allen leaned close, his breath coming in soft pants as he murmured softly into Kanda's ear. "Feels so good.."

The older boy nodded slightly, growling against his neck as Allen moved again, this time pulling away slightly as he used one hand to push the swordsman back.

Confused, Kanda allowed himself to be moved, settling himself on his elbows as the shorter boy leaned forward to press his lips to the side of his face. From there, Allen kissed and nipped a line to his ear, gently gripping the lobe with his teeth. A sharp hiss urged him on, his mouth moving over the other boy's neck as he slid backwards.

Resting his weight on one arm, he kissed the skin of Kanda's chest, running his tongue lightly over the line of his collarbone. Satisfied with the sounds of pleasure from his lover, he moved still lower, his hands pushing at Kanda's towel until he lifted his hips to allow Allen to remove it.

Blushing, he ran his hands over the older boy's thighs as he kneeled between them, his mouth resuming it's path over Kanda's body. Glancing upwards shyly, he ran his tongue out to circle the samurai's navel, causing the other to jerk in surprise.

Smiling nervously, he lowered his eyes to the very apparent sign of his lover's arousal. Taking a deep breath, he worked his way slowly down until he could feel the heat emanating from Kanda's still-damp skin.

Sensing the older boy's eyes upon him, Allen raised his head until he could return the other's heated gaze, his cheeks positively flaming under the weight of his lover's silent scrutiny.

Without breaking the contact, he cautiously ran his tongue over that sensitive skin, raising one hand to stroke the samurai's suddenly trembling hip as he repeated the movement.

Kanda's eyes widened at the erotic sight. Sweet, innocent Allen Walker, on his knees, doing something like this..! A strangled moan escaped him, his elbows giving out as he arched his back at the unbelievable feeling of the boy's lips moving over him, leaving trails of wet heat in their wake.

Allen shivered, his own breath taking on a ragged note as he opened his mouth and enclosed his lover fully, his tongue drawing tentative circles over the silken skin. Remembering the feeling of Kanda's mouth from before, he sucked gently, surprised by the slightly bitter taste.

Kanda's hands clenched tightly, twisting the blankets beneath him into a deathgrip as he struggled to resist the urge to thrust deeper into the other exorcist's mouth. Gasping, he closed his eyes, forcing his hands to relax. After a moment, he raised himself to his elbows again, reaching down to stroke the boy's snowy hair.

With one last slow caress, Allen pulled away, averting his eyes as he rose to his feet. Kanda let out a breath, his pulse pounding in his ears as he lifted himself to enfold his furiously blushing lover.

He smiled reassuringly at the other, pulling him gently forward until he was once again straddling the swordsman's thighs, his weight resting on his knees as Kanda slowly inched them further back onto the bed.

Once he'd found a satisfactory position, he resumed his exploration of the boy's body, his hands moving purposefully over the expanse of Allen's hips and thighs as he urged his lover to relax against him.

Shivering with anticipation, he complied. The bed settled slightly as he allowed his weight to shift, resting himself into the cradle of the older boy's thighs as he sighed. The feeling of warmth from the samurai's skin was comforting, and he murmured appreciatively at the contact as Kanda's hands continued to trace over his back in slow circles.

Closing his eyes, he concentrated on the sensations, his face lifting just enough to press his mouth to the hollow of the other boy's throat. A soft noise encouraged him to forget his earlier embarrassment, and he smiled at the memory of his lover's surprise.

Clearly, his actions had been unexpected, but not unwelcome, he decided. If Kanda's reaction had been any indication, he'd done rather well, despite his inexperience. The thought emboldened him, and he shifted his body until he felt the other boy's breathing hitch as their hips pressed together.

Kanda jerked slightly as he felt the white haired Exorcist move against him, his heart quickening with renewed interest at the feeling of the boy's skin sliding over his own sensitive flesh. He lifted his legs to enfold him, pulling the other more closely into his arms as he slid his foot across Allen's calf and hooked it behind his knees, holding his lover firmly in place as he thrust upwards in a teasing motion that left the smaller boy gasping.

When Kanda felt that Allen was ready, he slipped a hand between them, his fingers seeking and encircling his lover's hardening member. Gripping it firmly, he began to stroke. Allen bucked into his touch, a breathless cry escaping him as his body arched in open invitation.

Turning his head, he located the bottle of oil from before. He retrieved it, and popped the cap open, his motions unhurried as he allowed some of the slippery liquid to flow into his palm. Carefully setting the bottle aside, he urged his partner onto his back. The younger boy complied, his eyes bright with arousal as he waited for the next step.

Kanda coated his fingers well, and trailed his hand down to his lover's tight entrance. Circling it gently, he added enough pressure to breach the relaxed muscles, sliding his finger along Allen's inner walls as he sought the place within him that caused the boy to moan his name softly. Pressing against that spot, he stroked his love into full arousal, adding a second and third finger as he watched carefully for any sign of pain or discomfort.

Seeing none, he relaxed slightly, placing damp kisses along Allen's inner thigh as he removed his fingers and coated himself with the remaining oil. Positioning himself, he raised the boy's hips until he felt the heat of his opening against him, and gently thrust forward, sliding into his body with surprising ease.

Gasping at the tightness that enveloped him, he held himself in check to allow Allen time to adjust. A moment later, he felt Allen shift slightly in silent reassurance that he was ready. Pulling back slightly, he drove forward until he was fully seated within his love, his breath coming in harsh gasps as he tried to control the overwhelming urge to give in to his passion.

Allen whimpered as he felt the stilted control his partner strained to hold, wrapping his legs around Kanda's hips as he urged him onward. Realizing that the older boy was fearful of causing him pain, he smiled. "Please..", He whispered, rocking his pelvis upward. "Please don't make me wait.."

Kanda moaned, his voice shaky as he moved again, unable to deny his lover anything.

Though slight at first, his movements slowly became more urgent, his need too great to contain. Certain that he wasn't hurting his smaller partner, he allowed his unoiled hand to wander over the boy's smooth skin, paying close attention to the reactions his touch provoked.

When Allen arched sharply into his caress, he smiled in satisfaction. Leaning forward, he kissed his way up the flushed chest and neck of his lover, his teeth scraping lightly over the pounding vein there as the younger boy gasped.

Allen hissed at the feeling, his breathing unsteady. Already, he could feel himself slipping out of control, his body moving of its own volition towards release. Bracing himself, he fought down the raging need he felt, struggling to make this last.

As if sensing his distress, Kanda slowed his thrusts, his hands firmly gripping Allen's hips as he lifted his lover's body higher off the bed. Shifting his weight, he leaned in for a breath-stealing kiss before turning his head to whisper to the younger boy, his voice low and intense.

"Is this how you want it, Allen? Just like this?", He raised the shorter boy's hips still higher, resting his weight on his knees as he intensified his movements. Allen gasped at the sudden change, his eyes shut tight in awe as he nodded.

"Yes, please Kanda...You feel so good..!"

Kanda moaned softly, a breathless acknowledgement of his lover's voice. While he could sense his limit approaching, he was determined to give Allen as much pleasure as humanly possible in the time that remained.

He shifted his body even closer, and was rewarded with a sharp cry from the other Exorcist. Kanda smiled, as he had evidently found the correct angle to reach Allen's most sensitive place. Relaxing his grip on his lover, he quickened his pace, driving the boy closer and closer to his release as his cries increased in both frequency and volume.

Allen blushed hotly at the sounds he was making, but he couldn't stop. The feeling of the samurai's body against his own was far too intense to bear in silence. Arching his back, he clenched his hands tightly around Kanda's shoulders as his trembling thighs locked themselves together against his sides.

Wordlessly, he pleaded in halting pants and moans, straining to reach the edge of reason with his love, whose steady rhythm began to falter as he too drew closer to his end. With a final cry, Allen felt his body lock around the swordsman's, his vision narrowing until nothing but the intense blue of his lover's eyes remained, no thought registering to his heated mind save the feeling of that beautiful form shuddering in his arms as he let go his own broken moan of completion.

Time seemed to slow to a crawl as they gasped for breath, clinging tightly to each other in silent adoration. After several minutes had passed unnoticed, Kanda rose to his knees, pulling slightly away from the sated form of his lover.

Smiling tiredly, Allen blinked up at him. Remembering the mess from before, he blushed. "Kanda, we should probably clean ourselves off.." He smirked suddenly. "At this rate, your bathroom will never be empty again!"

Kanda laughed lightly in response, his eyes narrowing as he replied. "That may be, Moyashi. Perhaps we should bathe separately this time?" His voice took on a teasing tone. "I seem to remember a lack of protest, however.."

Allen's blush returned full force as he averted his face, mumbling to himself. "You started it.." He walked to the bathroom, using the washcloth from earlier to clean himself.

Kanda laughed outright, an almost shocking sound for the usually stoic Exorcist. Noticing Allen's surprised look, he shook his head. "Something the matter, Koi?"

Allen smiled. "No, not at all!" He exclaimed. "It's just.. Well, you seem to be happy, for once. I don't think I've ever heard you laugh like that before, so it's a bit strange, I suppose."

Kanda's face grew serious. "Is it unpleasant?" He asked, his eyebrows arched in confusion.

Allen hurriedly shook his head, raising his arms to enfold the taller boy. "No, it's wonderful! I think you should do it more often, if anything. I'm just glad to see you so happy, especially if it's me that makes you feel that way.." His voice faltered as Kanda's arms tightened around him.

"It is you," The samurai mumbled softly, his face buried in the shorter boy's hair. "I can't remember ever feeling like this before, and I love you for that, too." He pulled back, resting his forehead against Allen's. "I hope that in time, you'll feel the same happiness that I do, and that I'll be the one to make it happen."

Allen sighed, closing his eyes. "I already do, Kanda," He whispered, his breath fanning the older boys cheek. "I feel it too, and it's most definitely because of you."

For a moment, they were silent.

Kanda snorted suddenly, his body shaking in barely suppressed mirth. Allen pulled back, a questioning look on his face.

"Kanda..?"

The samurai shook his head, his amusement fading. "I'm sorry, I just can't help thinking of how cliche we must sound, Moyashi." He teased.

Allen blushed, burying his face in the taller boy's chest. "You certainly know how to ruin a moment, Kanda." He mumbled, a reluctant smile crossing his face.

Kanda smiled. "I mean it though, trite and all. Never doubt that."

The smaller boy shook his head. "No, I don't doubt it. If anything, you should be doubtful of me, Kanda. I can't believe I was so stupid. All this time, wasted.." He frowned.

"It doesn't matter now, Moyashi." Kanda explained patiently. "I'm just as stupid as you are, because I didn't truly understand what I felt until.." He broke off, blushing slightly.

Allen smirked. "Until..?" He prodded, tightening his grip as the other boy's face darkened.

"Until you pulled that little stunt in the corridor," Kanda mumbled, his eyes averted. "I didn't even try to figure out what I felt for you until then." He straightened, his face once again serene. "But it makes sense now. Why don't I go ahead and get cleaned up? Then we can go see how many people Lavi's managed to 'not tell'?"

Allen watched his lover stride to the bathroom, his eyes suddenly narrowed in thought. "Hey, wait a minute! Didn't you just call me stupid?!" He cried.

Kanda quickly slammed the door, leaning against it as Allen started forward. "You said it first!" He laughed, his voice loud enough to be heard over the smaller Exorcist's spluttered exclamations. "I was just agreeing with you to save time!"

It grew eerily silent. Just as he started to open the door, Kanda froze. Was that snuffling he heard out there? Allen's quiet voice spoke.

"Well, if that's what you think.." There were several more sniffs and the sound of retreating footsteps. Then, worst of all, the sound of the door opening and closing.

He jerked the door open, startled. "Allen, wait! I was only.." He glanced down. Allen's pants were still on the floor. His eyes wide, he turned around slowly. His lover stood there, a menacing grin on his face. "Now, Moyashi, I didn't mean it.." He said lamely, wondering if there were many people in this part of the building. Leaving the room naked could be embarrassing, but the look on Allen's face promised a fate worse than any amount of humiliation. He slowly retreated as the smaller boy moved forward, his hands raised in a suggestive twitching motion.

"I think you should be sorry, Kanda. Very sorry." He laughed evilly. Kanda's eyes widened further as his retreat quickened.

"I am! I was only teasing, I'm sorry!"

His knees hit the edge of the bed, and Allen pounced.

For the second time in as many days, the sound of decidedly unmanly shrieks echoed through the building, accompanied by maniacle laughter.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Lavi cocked his head curiously at the doorway, hearing a muffled commotion. Shaking his head, he turned away again. "Must be my imagination," He muttered, concentrating on the open book before him.

Though usually focused and attentive in his reading, the apprentice Bookman was having a hard time today. Flashes of his earlier conversation with the resident mad scientist kept trekking through his mind, startling him with random images of their rather heated exchange.

The memories, recalled in exquisite detail through years of practiced observation, were enough to prompt a slow rise of shivers. Lavi groaned, burying his head in his hands as an uncharacteristically serious moment overcame his usually buoyant nature.

'Holy God, what was I thinking? I can't believe that I allowed myself to lose control like that..' He chuckled humorlessly. 'Oh well. At least he let me go, and..' He flushed, his mind supplying him with yet another wave of recollection.

"Hmph, I knew there had to be something behind that layer of utter retardation he insists on keeping between himself and the rest of the world." Allowing an almost smug smile to cross his lips, he closed his eyes. Lost in thought, he failed to notice the approach of another person until a hand on his shoulder brought him staggering to his feet, his heart in his throat as he struggled for balance.

"Jesus, what the.." He trailed off, smiling sheepishly at the quickly discarded expletive as Linali regarded him somewhat coolly.

"I have something to say to you." She looked up at him, sternly. Lavi unconsciously backed away, just a slight shift of weight in preparation to flee. "Do you have any idea.." She leaned forward menacingly, her eyes narrowed. "..How much I would love to kiss you right now?"

He blinked at her, taken aback by her change in tone as she squealed. "Eh, I'd rather you didn't," He smiled cautiously, aware of her ability to go from 'zero' to 'kill you' in no time flat. "Would you settle for a completely platonic pat on the head?"

Swatting at his hand, she easily avoided the gesture. "Quit it, you ass." She positively beamed, shaking her head. "Do you understand exactly what happened, Lavi?"

He stared at her, his eyes wide. "I don't know what you mean." He hedged, looking away as she raised an eyebrow. "I think the drugs your brother gave me might have made me hallucinate, but if you're referring to either the flying monkeys or the naked mariachi band, I really hope that you didn't see them too."

She rolled her eyes, sighing. "Being stupid won't change anything, Lavi." She admonished quietly. "Maybe Miranda missed it, but it looked to me like you two finally had that little talk. So..?" She waited, her face expectant.

Lavi glanced around furtively. "Could we maybe go somewhere else to discuss this? Somewhere, I dunno, less public?" Closing his unread book, he made for the door. The girl smiled, following the other Exorcist out of the room.

"So, where would you like to go? My room's pretty close.." She hinted, becoming impatient as the redhead stood unmoving. "I'm not going to tell anyone, you know." She smiled at him reassuringly. "Please?" Batting her eyes playfully, she grabbed his arm, dragging him towards her quarters.

Shaking his head, Lavi wondered what had possessed him to think that the younger girl would be satisfied with a simple explanation. 'Her brother isn't the only obsessive one in the family,' He mused, 'Once she gets an idea in her head..' Allowing himself to be led, he sighed. "You can let go, I'm not going to try to outrun you."

She laughed quietly, stopping in front of her door. "I know that," She opened it, motioning for him to enter. "I just didn't know if you knew where it was." Closing the door behind her, Linali pointed to a soft-looking chair. "Go ahead, get comfortable."

Lavi sank into the seat, leaning against the high backrest as he wondered what to say. "I don't know what to tell you," He began, looking out the small window. "I had a little...Run in with Yuu-chan, and then Komui doped me. Next thing I knew, I was in that lab of his, and he was asking about you. I told him nothing happened, but of course he didn't believe me, and then he broke out that...Thing you saw. After a while, I got fed up with it and told him that I didn't see you like that." He chuckled briefly.

"He took that the wrong way too, and I slipped up and said that I was crazy to think that it would ever work between us. Eventually he let me down, and we had words. I just got so mad, I don't even remember exactly what I said.. But he started in on that 'Oh my darling Linali' shit, and I told him that there was a lot more to life than being obsessed with you."

Linali raised an eyebrow, but remained silent.

"He asked me what things I meant, and I..." He sighed. "I kissed him. I didn't really mean to, but there was nothing else I could think of to make him understand." Lifting his head, he smiled. "After I let go of him, he just looked at me. I started to leave, but apparently he had other ideas." He blushed lightly, much to the girl's amusement. Seeing her grin, he shook his head.

"After a little bit, things kind of...Got out of control. That's when you found us, and thought...Whatever you thought. You didn't hurt him too bad, did you? I meant it when I said I wanted to talk to him about things." He smiled. "It wasn't really so bad, after the tickling stopped. At least I know that there's something there, that's more than I could have hoped for."

Linali nodded thoughtfully. "I'm a little bit sorry for kicking his ass, now. I thought he was hurting you, and it just made me so mad!" She laughed. "You know how he is, always being a pain. But I'm glad that you got your point across. He should be waking up anytime now, and I imagine that it won't be too long before you hear from him." She snickered quietly. "That's one good thing about 'Nii-san, he doesn't wait around when there's something really important that needs to be done."

Lavi flushed lightly at the double meaning in her tone. "Yeah, I guess so." He mumbled, looking away. "I don't expect it to be easy," He said, smiling. "He's spent a long time fooling himself, working to convince everyone that he's just some nut." He paused thoughtfully. "Honestly, I don't know if he's trying to convince us, or himself."

Linali nodded, smiling also. "I can understand, to a point," She said quietly. "'Nii-san worries about everything, me, the Order, all of the Exorcists here.. He just doesn't let it stop him from doing what he thinks he should do. Sometimes I think it bothers him to see what the world is becoming, a place where his friends and family could be gone in a second, at the whim of a madman." She shivered. "I think he's closed himself away like this because he doesn't want to lose." Lavi raised an eyebrow, questioning.

She shook her head, still smiling. "If he gets close to someone, he could lose them. I think he tries to stop himself from getting close because that makes less people to mourn. Instead, he concentrates on being distant and distracted. People stay away because they think he's crazy, they never bother to look any deeper than the newest Komurin."

Lavi stood, pacing nervously. "I do look, though," He said softly. "I'm not supposed to get involved like that, but at the end of the day..." He stopped, facing the window. "I wonder if that's really what I want. I know that Bookman wouldn't approve, but I keep thinking that maybe the caring isn't so wrong. We're supposed to watch history being made, but what's the use if we don't see it all? How many parts of history came about because of people loving or hating each other? That makes me think about what I want from life. Do I really want to spend the rest of my life on the outside, or should I let things happen as they will?"

Linali blinked at him, startled by his sudden speech. "Lavi.. You think we'd let you stay on the outside?" She asked, rising. "Every one of us thinks of you as a friend. When we fight, we think of saving the world, but the world is where our friends are. What use would it be, to risk our lives for an empty world that doesn't have love, friendship? That's the world that the Earl wants, a place where no one has anything worth fighting for."

She hugged the taller boy impulsively. "Don't worry about being alone, Lavi...We won't let you."

He smiled, nodding. "I know. I just want to be there for you guys, too." Pulling away, he tapped his chin with a finger. "I wonder if it's too soon to expect..Ow!" She swatted his head, laughing.

"Don't be a pervert!" She said, shoving him back gently. "If you want to know what to expect, I think you should ask 'Nii-san himself." She laughed again at the boy's scandalized expression. "I'm sure that you'll figure it out, he has been alone for a long time.." She mused, shaking her head. "Either way, I'm glad that you're happy. It's nice to see the people I care about finding each other."

Lavi snorted loudly. "I'd say so, Yuu-chan hasn't come looking for me yet.. Allen must be keeping him preoccupied, otherwise I'd already be dead for what happened before." Seeing her puzzled expression, he laughed. "Nevermind. Suffice it to say, Yuu-chan has excellent taste when it counts." She sighed, rubbing her temples.

"Right. Well, now that I'm sure I don't want to know..." She walked to the door, opening it. "You should go to your room and get ready for your little 'talk'. If I know 'Nii-san, he'll be by there before too long. You wouldn't want to miss him, would you?" She asked teasingly. He shook his head, grinning.

"No, I think it would be a good idea to make myself..available," He smirked, dodging a playful kick to the rear. "Thanks for listening, Linali.. I'm glad that you made me talk about it, a lot of things don't seem so bad now." He left, still smiling lecherously.

Linali sighed happily, closing the door and sinking onto the bed in contentment. "Now, there's just the matter of Miranda-chan and her little problem.."

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Komui blinked, staring at the ceiling in confusion. After a moment, he shook his head, sitting up with a quiet groan. "My head.."

Looking around, he saw that he was in his quarters, undoubtedly his lovely sister had thought of his comfort after delivering her chastisement. Rubbing the aching lumps on his skull, the man pondered his situation. 'I just can't believe it.. Lavi, he.. Damn.'

He smiled faintly, remembering the young Exorcist's angry tirade. 'I always figured that Kanda had the worst temper, but now I'm not so sure,' He thought. 'Well, he is a redhead, after all.' Stretching his arms, he lay back again, closing his eyes in thought.

He'd never imagined that the fiery youth was nursing a crush on him, of all people. Though he knew that the boy seemed to spend a lot of time with his beloved sister, he'd always assumed that Lavi was like the rest of the dogs in the Order, following the crowd in pursuit of her beauty. To think that he'd been nothing but a friend was mind boggling. For a moment, Komui felt indignation rear it's head at the boy's casual indifference to Linali's obvious charms, but the feeling died in light of his confession.

'All that time, it was me he wanted to see.. Linali-chan stays close, so naturally he'd be with her to have an excuse...' He chuckled quietly. His smile faded as he remembered the rest of their..meeting. "I don't know what made me do that," He mumbled, frowning. "Grabbing him like that, I practically tried to undress the poor boy right there.." He felt his face warm slightly at the memory of his actions, the feeling of Lavi's skin under his hands, the suppleness of his mouth...

He sighed, forcing himself to set it aside in favor of other, less perverted things. He knew that something would have to be done, and soon. The boy's parting jibe assured him that his..enthusiasm was not something to be ignored. Komui laughed, sitting up. "Well, I might as well get on with it," He said, standing upright. The movement brought on a wave of dizziness, but he shook it off and strode to the door.

Setting out in the direction of the boy's room, he wondered briefly if he should wait, but decided against prolonging the inevitable. 'No sense skirting the issue,' He thought, determined. 'He may have started it, but I went along willingly, more than I meant to.'

He failed to notice the odd looks he was receiving, engrossed in thought. The bootmarks on the back of his jacket meant little, compared to the intense need to confront the situation ahead.

Spotting the redhead's door, he faltered for only a moment before knocking firmly on the thick wood.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Lavi jumped, startled at the noise. Dropping his book on the nightstand, he straightened his shirt nervously. Forcing himself to relax, he opened the door, smiling brightly at his guest. "Hey, come in! Linali said you probably wouldn't.." He tapered off, meeting the older man's eyes. "Be..long.."

Komui raised an eyebrow at his stare, wondering if he'd made a mistake. Lavi shook his head, motioning him inside. Closing the door he turned to face the man and indicated that he should make himself comfortable. Seeing that he intended to take the room's only chair, Lavi sat on the edge of his bed, his hands in his lap to avoid fidgeting as he thought of how to begin.

"So," He said, smiling cheerfully despite his unease, "Where did you want to start? I was thinking that I should apologize for yelling, even if I meant what I said." Komui nodded, grateful that there would be no repeat of their arguing.

"That's all right, I should have been a little more quiet myself." He looked away, wondering if he should say what was on his mind. Deciding that there was nothing more important at the moment, he smiled slightly. "I don't know what I think of this. I hadn't thought of anything but Linali for so long, it never occurred to me that there was anything else worth having." He stared at the wall, speaking calmly. "You've really been trying, haven't you? It must have been hard, knowing that you would have to say something drastic to get my attention."

Lavi shook his head, his smile wistful. "It was awkward, but not really bad. I just couldn't bring myself to say anything to you. It was never the right time, or there was someone there, you know." He sighed, drawing a look from the man. "I wanted to, but I was worried that you'd think I was crazy. That's why I asked Linali to help, because she knows you better than anyone." He laughed, remembering the stunned look on the girl's face when he'd first approached her for advice. "She told me I was crazy. I kept at it, and finally got her to talk seriously. She told me that playing games wouldn't work, that I'd have to come straight to the point."

He carefully omitted the fact that Linali had said that her brother was 'too dumb to notice on his own,'. The thought had occurred to him as well, but he'd ignored it. looking at his clasped hands, he sighed quietly. "Do you think I'm crazy?"

Komui shook his head firmly. "No. I'm the resident expert on insanity, and believe me, you can't possibly come close to some of the things I've seen and done since I came here, Lavi. There's nothing wrong with caring for someone, even if it's a person that doesn't notice at first. I..." He stopped, laughing to himself as he continued. "I actually can't say that I didn't do my fair share of wondering, once."

Lavi swallowed, keeping his smile in place. "Wondering if there was someone for you, here? Or wondering if it was worth the trouble of looking?" The older man shook his head.

"I wondered if I could feel like that for someone. I concentrated so hard on keeping Linali safe and happy, but I couldn't stop her from growing up. The thought of her leaving me behind is.." He stopped, frowning. "I told you, she's really all I have left of our family. Every time I send her out there, I could lose her. If she stays here, and finds someone special, I'll still be left."

Lavi frowned, shaking his head. "That's not true. Even if Linali decides to be with someone, she'd never just leave you behind. You're just as important to her as she is to you, she just isn't afraid to let you live, Komui." The man jerked around, staring at him.

"Let me live? Does she think I'm holding her back from life, Lavi? Did she tell you that?" The youth backtracked quickly, waving his hands in emphasis.

"No! She never said anything like that. I meant that Linali wouldn't want to make you sad, and she doesn't want you to be lonely for the rest of your life. When you hover so close to her, it makes it very hard for her to meet someone. I know that you probably don't mean to do it, but you scare people sometimes." He smiled again. "I wish I had someone to watch out for me like that, sometimes. But I think that it would be better if they were there for me, not there to 'keep' me. Does that make sense?" He asked, quietly.

Komui started to retort, but closed his mouth as he understood. "You think she can take care of herself, without me 'lurking' over her shoulder? You're probably right, but every time I see some man fawning over her, I'm afraid that he might not be enough for her. Enough to protect and care for her, or strong enough in his love for her that he would die in her place, like I would. I want the best that life has to offer for her.." He laughed. "She deserves to have the best, just for doing what she does. Being my sister makes her ten times more deserving, in my eyes."

Lavi nodded in agreement. "Everyone feels that way about their siblings, and their children. But don't you deserve it too, Komui? The fact that you care for Linali over your own life and happiness makes you just as good. What do you want for yourself, besides this?" He gestured at the walls. "Linali would be happy to see you live. Being able to be there for you, and knowing that you've found your happiness, I think that would make her happier than anything."

He looked back, meeting the man's eyes squarely. "My feelings for you change nothing. Even if you were just some random Order member, you would still deserve to live your life and be happy. Everyone has the right to give and receive love, and to say that one person's happiness is more worthy than another person's is wrong."

Komui stared at him, speechless. 'Was he always like this?' He wondered, rising to his feet. 'Everyone says he doesn't think, that he's a fool, but he fooled them all..'

Lavi watched him stand, wondering if he'd said too much. The look on the older man's face was incredulous, eyes wide with seeming surprise. He stepped forward, and Lavi braced himself for whatever reaction the impromptu speech had wrought.

Komui reached down, gripping the boy's arm and hauling him to his feet. He winced at the glimmer of dread in his eye, as if he expected to be hurt. Shaking his head, the man spoke softly, his quiet words striking the Exorcist like the physical blow he'd anticipated. "You're right. Except for the most important thing."

He leaned closer, his gaze intent. "Your feelings, they change everything." He looked for a sign of protest, and found none. Crossing the final space between them, he covered the boy's surprised gasp with his lips, releasing his hold on Lavi's arm in favor of encircling his waist.

He pulled the still shocked Exorcist even closer, sliding a hand up to stroke his cheek as he pleaded silently for more contact. Lavi clutched his jacket tightly, feeling as if he might fall. The older man nipped gently at his lower lip, seeking entry, which he eagerly gave. Shivering, he forced his hands to relax against the bunched fabric, returning the other's embrace as he felt himself being pushed back down.

Komui noted absently that he'd lost his hat, but quickly forgot such trivial matters as the redhead moaned quietly into their kiss. Humming softly in reply, he urged the younger male to sit on the bed, breaking away for air. "I'm sorry that you waited so long," He murmured, his voice still low. "But thank you for waiting at all." He lowered his face into the junction of Lavi's throat, mouth travelling slowly over the dip of his collar as he spoke. "Stop me if you don't want this.."

Lavi laughed quietly, tilting his head to give his soon-to-be lover more room. "I want anything that you're willing to give. Don't worry about being pushy, I'm more than ready." He gasped at the sensation of teeth on his neck, his hand coming up to wind into the man's short hair in silent encouragement.

Komui sucked lightly on the tanned skin, relishing the salty taste. Pulling back, he reclaimed the boy's mouth, tracing the line of his lips before dipping in to taste him fully. Lavi responded with a growl, his tongue matching the older man's teasing with equal ferocity as Komui slipped a hand into his shirt.

His breath left him in a startled rush when the man lingered over a particularly sensitive spot, his fingers shaking slightly as he pushed at the heavy material of the man's coat. Moving back, he took a steadying breath. "Get rid of this." He demanded, tugging gently on the coat's lapel. Komui chuckled quietly, but complied, his hands leaving the warmth of his body for only as long as it took to remove the offending object.

Lavi sighed in relief, running his hands over the strong lines of the scientist's back through his thin turtleneck. "Much better," He mumbled, pulling the other close again. "Feels good.." He moaned appreciatively when Komui resumed his eager exploration of his skin, lifting the hem of his shirt to reach more. His own hands pulled the man's shirt out of his pants in response, his fingers slipping beneath to inscribe teasing circles on the slightly sweat-dampened flesh.

Komui nodded in agreement, his eyes closed in pleasure at the touch. "Raise your arms.." He murmured, sliding the boy's shirt over his head when he did so. He ran his hands over the newly exposed skin, lowering his mouth to nip at the line of Lavi's collarbone. Urging him backward, he joined the Exorcist on the bed, settling himself gently between his knees as he moved his lips down to the redhead's chest.

Lavi jumped slightly, his voice catching as Komui lapped at his skin, pausing to stroke his tongue over one of the boy's tightened nipples. Allowing himself to recline fully, Lavi arched into his touch, drawing up his knees as he pulled the man's body close with a broken sigh. Komui raised himself to his elbows, moving up for a kiss as he brought their lower bodies together. Lavi bucked up sharply, his cry muffled by the older man's mouth as he gripped his shoulders.

Komui groaned, the feeling of his partner's obvious arousal urging him on to near desperate levels. He moved one hand down to Lavi's hip, holding him close as he repeated his movements urgently, hearing the boy's loud moan of approval when he pulled back for air. "God, Lavi.." He gasped, shuddering with barely-contained need. "It's too soon for this," He panted harshly, shaking his head. "You deserve more than just a quick lay, why are you letting me.." He forced himself to stop, taking deep breaths to calm himself.

"I don't know what's wrong with me," He said, disgusted. "It's not right, to take advantage of you this way! Tell me to stop, Lavi, before I do something you'll regret." He lowered his voice, meeting the boy's gaze pleadingly. He tried to rise, but Lavi tightened his grip on his shoulders, holding him still.

"You aren't taking advantage of me, I want it as much as you do! Stop thinking like that, like you're doing something wrong.. After all this time, I'm not going to just let it go, Komui." He frowned in determination. "Is it because you don't love me? I already knew that when I told you how I felt."

The man stared at him, stunned. "You don't care? Don't you want that with someone who loves you, Lavi? I can't say that I feel like that, how could you just let me..?" He stopped, shaking his head. "You don't have to do this." He finished lamely, at a loss.

Lavi sighed quietly. "I know that. And I know that you don't love me. That doesn't matter now." Komui started to protest, but the boy stilled him with a look. "What matters is, are you willing to try?"

The scientist thought quickly, and then nodded hesitantly. "Yes, I want to try.. I don't know of anyone else that makes me feel like that, like I could let myself go. I think that in time, I could.." He smiled, relaxing into the boy's hold. "No, I know that I could come to feel that way for you. Is that all right?" Lavi nodded happily.

"That's all I want, I told you. I only ask what you're willing to give, Komui. If I have to wait a little more, that's fine. I just want to give you what you need, whether it's physical or emotional." The man shook his head in surprise, feeling almost grateful for the boy's willing nature.

"Thank you for that," He said, burying his face against the side of Lavi's neck. Resisting the urge to resume his.. previous activities, he nuzzled the redhead's throat affectionately as he chuckled. "I think we should try to take things a little slower, though. If you really want to be with me that way, then it should mean something for both of us.." He lifted his head, meeting Lavi's gaze.

Lavi nodded thoughtfully, then smirked mischievously. "I don't mind waiting for that," He said quietly, raising an eyebrow. "But what about other things..?" He teased, smiling at his own cleverness. "Is it too soon for kissing?" He asked innocently, tugging the older man down for a brief meeting of lips. Releasing him, he smiled.

Komui shook his head, eyeing him curiously. "I don't see why that would be a problem," He said, warily. Lavi maintained his innocent expression, biting his lip.

"Good. But what about touching?" He said, running his hands down the scientist's shoulders and back. Komui shivered, nodding slowly.

"That...Should be fine, too. And before you ask, no one's losing any clothing that isn't already off." He smiled at the boy's indignant expression. "You seem to be missing a shirt..Hm, I guess it's a little too late to say no to that.." He laughed out loud at Lavi's scowl.

"So it's just me, then? Or do you mean in general?" He smiled suddenly. "Well, turnabout is fair play. Off. Now." He waited expectantly. Komui shook his head, lifting himself to his knees.

"So demanding," He chided gently, but pulled the shirt over his head nevertheless. "Better?" He asked, smiling. Lavi nodded firmly.

"Much. Come back here, it's chilly."

Komui laughed, and complied. "Why do I feel as if I'm being manipulated?" He mumbled, shaking his head faintly in amusement.

Lavi smirked. "Because I'm just that good." He said, wrapping his arms around the taller man and pulling him down again...

HOLY SHIT I finally finished it! (Ducks various heavy objects) Sorry it took so long, there's been a LOT of things happening since last time.. But, thanks to the threa..er, encouragement of some friends, I managed to put in a couple hours of thought and work to bring you the...thing of dubious quality that you just read. Hopefully, it will be well received. As always, comments are both welcome and greatly appreciated! Stay tuned for the next chapter "Inside Out", in which Kanda recovers, Linali plots, and Miranda gets abducted! Ja!

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hooray!

Yay for more funny!

All right, for anyone who's watching....

Pranks

A D.Gray-Man Crackfic

Part 3 - Revenge of the Unglued Samurai

All right, here we go yet again! Thanks to Niamh, who made this particular series of fics possible! XD

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Kanda scowled, striding determinedly through the cafeteria in search of the only person he could trust. Spotting his target, he closed in. "Linali. I need to speak with you." She blinked up at him, her brow furrowed with confusion.

"Me? Sure, but can it wait until I finish?" The samurai nodded tersely, joining her on the bench as she continued her meal. "Is this about what Lavi did?" She asked, hiding her smile. Kanda glared at her suspiciously.

"It is."

Linali raised an eyebrow at his almost despondant tone. Setting down her silverware, she turned to face her longtime friend. "It'll blow over in no time, you know," She said, patting his knee awkwardly. "After a day or two, no one will even remember." The boy shook his head.

"I could care less what anyone has to say. What concerns me now.." He paused, looking around before leaning closer. "What concerns me now is how to avenge myself." The girl frowned, shaking her head.

"Um, no offense, but why..?" He cut her off, smirking.

"Why am I asking you? Simple." He motioned towards the door, rising. "Come with me, and I'll explain." Linali smiled, curious at his secretiveness, but followed him out of the room and down the hall towards his room.

Once inside, he turned to her abruptly. "Your Innocence," He began without preamble. "You can float, correct?" She nodded hesitantly, but he continued before she could question his interest. "And you can also use it to lift things, or carry them?" Again, she nodded, afire with curiosity.

He grinned maliciously. "Do you think that you could find some more of the glue Lavi used on my door? He had to have gotten it from your brother's lab.." She raised an eyebrow, but nodded slowly.

"I probably could," She said, seriously. "But what do you want to do? It isn't going to hurt anyone, right?" He shook his head, indignantly.

"Of course not! What would be the sense in harming an active Exorcist?" He grinned viciously. "After I'm done, the only thing hurting will be that idiot's pride.." Linali smiled, humoring the boy.

"I'll see what I can do, Kanda. Do you want it now, or later?" She asked, opening the door. He thought for a moment, then replied quietly.

"As soon as you can get it. After that, I'll just have to wait until he's busy.." She nodded, wondering what the normally serious swordsman had planned for their mutual friend. Assuring him that she'd be back soon, she headed for the lab, remembering that she could most likely ask her 'Nii-san about Lavi's schedual while she was there...

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Later that evening...

Kanda smiled gratefully, taking the large tube of glue from his 'accomplice'. The girl raised her eyebrows expectantly, waiting for the older boy to explain his scheme. Noticing her scruitiny, he opened the door to allow her to enter.

"'Nii-san said Lavi's training today, and won't be back until after dinner." She said, sitting on the bed. "Will that be enough time for whatever you wanted to do?" He nodded, surprising her with his almost childish eagerness.

"That's perfect.. The fool will probably get something to eat before returning to his room.." He mused, pacing the floor as he continued. "With the two of us, that should be more than enough time." He paused, swinging around to face the girl on the bed. "You will help me, won't you?" Linali frowned in mock seriousness.

"I don't know, Kanda.. You still haven't said exactly what it is that you want me to do." She looked up, and suddenly found herself staring into a pair of suprisingly pathetic dark eyes. Laughing, she shook her head. "Stop, with the puppy face... I was only kidding, I said I would, and I will." She smirked to herself, thinking that no one would ever believe the hostile boy capable of such a pitiful expression.

Kanda sighed in relief. "Thank you, Linali.. Now, let me give you a better idea of what we're going to do.." He cackled, earning a startled look from the girl. "I need to move all of the idiot's things..."

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Several hours later..

Lavi staggered tiredly through the door, cursing his mentor as he made his way through the darkened room. "Damned old Panda..Who needs to learn how to balance a glass of water while crossing a rope bridge anyway?" He moved towards his bed, ignoring the lamp in favor of instant sleep.

Kicking off his boots, he shed his coat and unstrapped his hammer. Sighing contentedly, he flung himself backwards, already imagining the soft warmth of the quilts...

xTHUD!x

Lavi found himself rather intimately aquainted with the stone floor, his head ringing with the sound of a million tiny bells at the impact.

Dragging himself upright, he fumbled blindly for the bedside lamp, crashing once more to the floor as his fingers met only air. "What the..!" He jumped up angrily, his face throbbing from it's rapid reintroduction to gravity.

He strode to the door, swearing as he switched on the overhead light. His eyes adjusted to the brightness, and he glared towards his bed..

Gone.

Everything was gone.

Gaping dumbly at his empty room, Lavi stood by the door for a full minute before yelling his outrage. "What the SHIT is this?! Where the hell's my stuff!?"

His voice echoed hollowly in the apparently empty room, and then he noticed the sound of footsteps approaching quickly. Snatching open the door, he grabbed a startled Crowley by the arm of his uniform, jerking him unceremoniously into the room. "Did you see anybody in here?" He demanded, lowering his voice as the timid man shrank away in fright.

"I..I didn't see anything!" The man exclaimed, his eyes wide. "I heard you yelling, but that's all, I swear I don't know..." He stopped, glancing around the room. "Where are your things, Lavi-san?" He asked, puzzled. The shorter boy scowled in frustration.

"That's what I want to know!" He said, shaking his head to dispel the last of the ringing in his ears. "I just came in and found it like this." He purposely omitted the fact that he had recently been courting the granite floor in favor of more important things. "Yuu!" He snarled, grabbing the shaken Crowley's lapels fiercely.

"No! It wasn't, I didn't do it!" The older man shrieked, scrambling backwards to press against the door. Lavi shook his head impatiently, releasing him.

"Not you, you fool! Yuu!" He hissed, his tone cutting off any further protest. "Yuu Kanda, you know, the stick-in-the-ass samurai? The one who says you remind him of
a big black tick? He did this!" He paced rapidly, dragging a hand gingerly through his dishevelled hair as he cursed to himself.

Crowley sagged to the floor in relief. Closing his eyes, he leaned his head back in an attempt to calm his jangling nerves, opening them slowly after several deep breaths. For a moment, he stared up in blind incomprehension, his mind refusing to accept what he saw. "L..Lavi-san..?" He murmured, standing quickly. "Lavi-san!"

The boy paused mid-rant, swinging to face him. "What? I'm trying to figure out where he put it, the dresser is far too big to get through the door by himself.." He rambled, but the older man cut him off meekly.

"He...He didn't take it out the door.." He trailed off at the disgusted look on the Bookman-in-training's face. "That is.. Kanda-san didn't take your things anywhere.."

Lavi stared at him incredulously. "Do you see any furniture here, Crow-chan?" He asked, quietly. "If he didn't take it, then where the hell is it?!" He stopped, counting to ten before continuing. "He's the only one who could have done it.." Crowley shrank back again, gesturing helplessly with one hand.

Lavi blinked at him, his eyes following the man's fluttering hands upward.

Silence.

Then, the entire building shook with the sheer volume of Lavi's outraged shout.

"HOW THE FUCK DID HE GET ALL THAT UP THERE?!"

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Kanda sighed, snuggling deeper into his blankets. "Che, serves you right..I always thought you were an upended bastard anyway.." He closed his eyes, slipping into a peaceful slumber as the echo of his victim's screeched curses lulled him to sleep.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Haha, another chapter finished! Don't worry though, Lavi will have his revenge.. Next time: Skirting The Issue!

More on the way...

The beginning of more bullshit XD

2007-12-06T06:18:09Z

Well, to liven things up a bit, I've started a new mini-series-crack-thing.

Prank

A D.Gray-Man Crackfic

Hello again! I was bored, and while having a very interesting conversation with my fellow author Niamh, the idea for this came about. Sorry to anyone who was waiting for something else, but I just couldn't help myself... Hey, this fandom NEEDS more crack anyway! ^_^ Enjoy!

***************************************

Lavi glanced around swiftly, ducking behind an unused bookshelf as he heard footsteps approach.

"But I can't understand it, Linali.. Where could Tim have taken off to? He never does that.."

"Relax, Allen-kun, I'm sure he'll be all right, he can't have gotten far.."

Lavi listened for a while longer, sighing in relief as the voices faded and a door slammed. Standing, he opened his hand to reveal the golem in question, currently flapping it's wings in displeasure as it growled around the wad of paper which had been hastily stuffed between it's teeth.

"C'mon, little guy.. You're going to provide me with some very amusing ways to pass the time.." He grinned wolfishly, his single eye alight with glee as he slunk to the library's back wall. Placing the struggling ball on the desk, he dragged the dusty telephone closer, hooking Timcanpy into the interface before settling himself in the chair.

Pulling out a sheet of just-slightly wrinkled paper, he carefully dialed a number, snickering to himself.

***************************************

"Hello? <3"

"Yes, Mr...Earl? Hi! This is the Petermann vacuum company! Your number was chosen to receive a special prize, all you have to do is repeat our slogan!"

"Ah <3 I never win anything! What is it?"

"All we need to hear is 'I Want A Petermann', Sir!"

"<3 I WANT A PETERMANN!"

"...You're a sick, sad little man."

*click*

****************************************

Lavi collapsed in the chair, snickering helplessly. After a long moment, he composed himself and dialed a new number, clearing his throat and deepening his voice.

*****************************************

"Komui speaking!"

"Lemme speak to Moog."

"..Excuse me?"

"I said, 'Lemme speak to Moog'."

"...There's no 'Moog' in this department. Good day."

*click*

******************************************

"Yes? Komui speaking."

"Lemme talk to Moog."

"I'm sorry, there's no 'Moog' here."

"When he gets in, tell him to call me back, then."

"SIR. There is no one by that name in this department. Please stop calling, we're very busy."

*click*

******************************************

"YES!?"

"Put Moog on, it's important."

"Look, you..! I told you, there's no Moog here! Never has been! Stop calling!"

*SLAM*

******************************************

"WHAT?!"

"This is Moog, have there been any calls for me?"

"WHO THE HELL IS THIS?!"

"..."

*snicker*

*click*

******************************************

Lavi hung up the phone, cackling at the older man's hysterical fury.
Scanning his list, he failed to hear the footsteps until they were directly behind him.

"Lavi? What are you doing with Timcanpy? We've been looking everywhere!" Linali cried, startling the redhead.

Turning quickly, he shushed her. "I was just...borrowing him for a while. Where's Allen?" She shook her head in exasperation.

"He's over there, looking beneath all the tables. I'm going to get him." She strode over, tapping the white-haired boy to catch his attention. "I found him," She murmured, "Lavi had him, come on." The boy nodded in relief, following her to the far side of the room.

"Lavi, what are you doing? Have you been here the whole...Hey, what's this?" Allen knelt, picking up the Bookman's list. "Are..Are you actually CALLING these people? LAVI! You called THE EARL?!"

Linali looked over Allen's shoulder, seeing the long list of names, some checked, others not. "Nii-san? Why were you sneaking over here to call him?" The older boy smiled meekly.

"I was just mkngpkcalls.." He mumbled, avoiding her stare.

"What was that?" She asked, ominously.

He cleared his throat. "Making prank calls.." He said, preparing to duck.

The other two stared at him in disbelief. Allen shook his head, smiling faintly. "You mean you prank called The Earl? Jesus, Lavi!" He snickered, imagining the look on the villain's face. Even Linali was forced to admit that the idea was humorous.

"Honestly, you two are like children.." She smiled, looking around to locate an empty seat. "We might as well get comfy then."

Lavi blinked at her. "Comfy..? Ooh, I getcha.. Ha, c'mon Allen, you too! You'll love it, I swear.. Who should we call next?"

The boy chuckled, also finding a seat. "All right, but if you get caught.." He trailed off, leaving the obvious conclusion dangling.

Lavi grinned. "Me? Never.. Now, let's see.."

******************************************

Somewhere in Asia...

"He~llo!"

"Bak-Sama?"

"Yeah, who's this?"

"..It's..Me, Bak-Sama..."

".....'Me'? Li..Linali-chan?!"

"Mhmm...I was thinking about you, Bak-Sama.."

"You..You were?"

"Ohhh, yes.. I think about you all the time, Bak-Sama.."

"*gulp* Ah, really..? That's.."

"Do you think about me, Bak-Sama? I'll bet you do.."

"*choke* Well...I..Yes. Yes, I do."

"Mmm...I think I like that..."

"Eeh?!"

"Bak-Sama...*rustle* Ah, that's better..So hot in here.."

"!!"

"*rustlerustle* Mm, this too...Maybe I'll take a bath..."

*CRASH*

*Dialtone*

******************************************

Allen and Lavi snickered, as Linali stared at the redhead in mortified shock.

"LAVI! That's..That's terrible! And why are you so good at that? Do you actually practice mimicking people?!" She shook her head as Allen's stifled mirth grew. "It's scary, you sound just like me.. Ugh, do you do that to other people?"

Lavi wiped his streaming eyes before replying. "No, I've never done your voice like that, I just couldn't help it." He peered at the white-haired exorcist beside him, who's bright red face had steadily increased in hue as he valiently kept himself quiet by stuffing a fist in his mouth. "Yo, Allen! You all right buddy?"

The boy nodded, then shook his head and nodded again. Linali raised an eyebrow at his confused signals. Sighing, she patted his shoulder. "It was rather funny... In it's own way." She conceded.

Allen choked, regaining his composure. "Just imagining the look on his face.." He whimpered, starting to giggle, "God, Lavi..That was.."

"The most ridiculous thing I've ever heard."

The three stared at each other in shock, slowly turning to look at the form behind them.

After a moment, Lavi cleared his throat in false cheer. "Yuu-chan! What a surprise!"

Kanda glared at him. "Don't call me that! What the hell are you doing, idiot?" The redhead blinked up at him nervously.

"Oh, just...Having a little fun! Nothing major, right, right?" He smiled hugely at his companions, who squirmed in discomfort as the swordsman's frosty gaze settled on each of them in turn.

Kanda shook his head in disgust. "Don't you have anything useful to do? What's that?" He demanded, seeing Lavi slip the list into his sleeve. "Why are you hiding it?!"

Lavi smiled thinly, his eye wide with completely false innocence. "Nothing! It's just ah.. Scrap paper! For taking notes!" The samurai scowled, snatching the paper from him before he could blink.

"Nothing, my ass.. It must be something you don't...want...! What the hell? Are you.. How did you get these numbers?" He stared at the list in shock, seeing the as-yet unchecked names. "Why is my room number here?! That's a private line! I'll slice you like a radish if you don't explain yourself, this instant!"

Lavi cringed, his smile becoming tremulous. "I got them from some papers Bookman had lying around, I wasn't gonna call you, honest!" He waved his hands in defense. "I was just having a little fun, that's all!" An idea occured to him suddenly, and his grin widened. "You wanna help?" He asked, "It's fun, c'mon!"

Kanda raised an eyebrow. "Che, as if I have nothing better to do than play childish pranks.. Is this number right?" He demanded, shoving the list at the redhead abruptly. Jerking back, Lavi chuckled before glancing at the name he meant.

"Of course, they're all right, Yuu-chan!" He beamed up at the suddenly frowning boy. Restraining the urge to snicker, he hooked a nearby chair with one foot, dragging it to a position beside a stunned Allen. "There you go, why don't you take a load off and think this through? Might not get another chaaance, Yuu-chan!" As the other two looked on in awe, the samurai sank into the seat, forgetting to correct the bookman-in-training's familiarity in his contemplation of the paper in his hands.

Several seconds passed in silence, and then the black-haired boy glanced up, his eyes narrowed as he smiled evilly. The three shuddered quietly, glancing at each other fearfully as Kanda chuckled darkly. "Give me that." He ordered, still grinning maliciously.

Numbly, Lavi complied.

******************************************

"H..Hello?"

"Habakari..."

"Wh..What?"

"Habakariii.."

"*Gasp* Who is this??"

"Haabakaaariii.."

"*Sob* Please! I didn't do it! I'm sorry, what do you want??"

"Habakaaari.!"

"*Whimper*Stop! Please, I'm sorry! I'M SORRY!!"

******************************************

The three stared at Kanda in open astonishment.

Then Lavi burst into shuddering laughter. "You...What the hell, Yuu-chan! That was fantastic..!" He broke off, almost sobbing with glee. The other two gaped at them in confusion.

Allen raised an eyebrow. "What did you say to her? She was hysterical, you sounded...Horrible!"

Kanda snickered to himself. "That was the point, Moyashi. It wasn't so much what I said.. It was how I said it." Lavi grinned beautifically as he rubbed his aching stomach.

"That was priceless. No one but Miranda would be afraid of a toilet..!" Linali frowned unconvincingly.

"Honestly! Kanda, she's already terrified of everything, just imagine how she's..She's.." She paused, staving off a snort of her own at the mental image of the gloomy woman wringing her hands frantically at the Japanese word for 'toilet'. "That was mean." She said, finally.

Allen chuckled to himself, shaking his head. "That was rather... Unnerving. But why Miranda-san, Kanda?"

The samurai huffed in dismissal. "She needs to toughen up." He snickered briefly before schooling his features into his usual frown. "And she annoys me with her constant screeching. Her face makes me tired."

The other three sighed.

Lavi suddenly froze, his eye wide with fear as he stared at a spot slightly behind and to the left of Allen's head.

Guiltily, he smiled. "Bookman! Back already?"

The man's face was impassive as he strode to his apprentice's side, glancing briefly at the crumpled paper in his shaking hands in disgust.

His eyes landed on the phone, then the other three youngsters in turn, his face still unreadable as they squirmed in embarrassed guilt under his silent disapproval. Leaning down, he snatched the paper from Lavi, his eyes taking in the checked names as he frowned. "Is this what you do in your free time, Lavi?" He said, finally.

The boy shook his head quickly, ready to protest, but was stilled with an icy glare from the elder man. Sighing, the man shook his head. "Give me the telephone, Lavi." The boy nodded dumbly, preparing to lift the heavy base. Bookman frowned in annoyance. "Not the whole thing, Idiot boy!"

The youth stared at him in incomprehension as he leaned forward to snatch the handpiece from it's cradle with a huff.

******************************************

"'Lo? Tyki speaking.."

"Yes! This is Chinese resturaunt, very sorry we make wait for order!"

"Pardon? I don't.."

"Aah, maybe was other man.. You get him, I give much discount for long time, food is ready for deliver now!"

"But you don't under.."

"Oh, no no! It was man, he says 'Bring food to this.. 'Noah' place', but we have broken dish, so take much longer. You get man who order, I wait."

"*Sigh* It was one of the others, I'll see what I can do..."

*Footsteps*

*Footsteps return*

"Look, this is going to take a really long time, sir. They aren't even in the same room, I'd have to ask them all..."

"Oooh, that no worry, I wait for you to find man. Very large order, very much food waste if we not deliver. You find now, yes?"

"*Siiiigh* All right, hold on.."

*Muffled curse*
*Footsteps*

******************************************

Bookman placed the phone gently back in it's cradle. Turning to his student, he snorted.

"Amateurs."

Part 2 - Strung Out

All right, here we go again! Thanks again to Niamh, who makes me think of funny things! XD

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Lavi smiled, glancing quickly around a corner as he prepared to dash across. Leaving his heavy boots behind had been a stroke of genius, if he did say so himself. Taking one last look down the deserted hallway, he sprinted through the archway, pressing himself to the opposite wall.

Clutching a small sack in one hand, he edged closer to his predetermined target: The door to Kanda's room.

Pausing to stifle a snicker, he quickly reached into the sack, pulling out a roll of very fine twine, scissors, and a squeeze bottle of super-strength rubberized adhesive that he'd 'borrowed' from Komui during the last mission briefing.

'Thank God for mad scientists,' He mused, smiling widely. Working quickly, he opened the bottle, spreading a generous amount of the sticky substance across the top of the doorframe. Pulling out the end of the twine, he strung several long strands top-to-bottom over the doorway, securing them at the floor with more glue.

Listening for even the slightest noise, he gave the beginning of his masterpiece a few minutes to set before spreading another layer of glue down the right and left sides of the door's frame. Quietly shaking with laughter, he began to weave more twine over and under the first strands, forming an almost-invisible web that covered the opening from top to bottom. Surveying his work, he nodded happily.

Reaching up, he ran a thin layer of adhesive all around the door to secure the finished webbing, stepping back to see if the lines were visible in the corridor's dim light.

'Now, all I have to do is wait..' He smirked, walking back across the hall, settling himself into a comfortable crouch as he waited for daybreak.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

All too soon, the first rays of sun began to peek over the horizon, their light streaming weakly through the numerous small windows of the Black Order's headquartes. Lavi stirred, grinning in expectation as the first of the early morning risers began to leave their beds to start another day.

'All right, not too long now' He snorted, rubbing his hands together eagerly.

"Lavi..?" He jumped, turning quickly to see the sleepy face of Allen Walker. "What are you doing out here?" He asked, rubbing hie tired eyes in confusion.

The redhead grinned brightly. "Ah, nothing much...Playing a lil joke on Yuu-chan.. Wanna wait with me? It's great!"

The younger boy eyed him warily. "I don't know, Lavi.. The last time you pulled something funny, we ended up cleaning toilets for a week.."

Lavi shook his head in mock shame. "Yeah.. I can't believe that Panda found me out that fast..But you hafta admit, it was worth it!"

Hearing a quiet curse, Allen turned towards the swordsman's door. "I think he's getting up...Hey, what's that on the door?" He asked, puzzled by the nearly-transparent webbing. Lavi grinned evilly, standing quickly.

"Just wait," He murmured, then raised his voice to a low shout. "Yuuuu-chan! Look, aren't these your special undies? The little purple ones?"

As the white-haired boy looked on in shock, the older boy smiled in satisfaction as the room erupted with a furious string of curses.

"Stupid Rabbit! I'll skewer you for..!" The door flew open to reveal a barely-clothed Kanda, his sword in hand as he flung himself through the door with murder in his dark eyes. Then..

(BOOOING!)

(CRASH!)

"What the..!"

(Random scuffling and banging noises)

"You..! I'll kill you! You damned..Oof!"

(Repeat of former bounce/crash/curse)

Lavi howled helplessly, pounding his fist on the wall as Allen slumped to the cold floor shaking with careless glee. "God, Lavi..(HA!)He's going to kill you for real when he gets out of there.."

The Bookman-in-training snickered, wiping his eyes. "Probably. Let's say we just get moving right along, huh? I don't know how long the glue's supposed to last, but we really don't wanna be near here when it wears off."

The shorter boy nodded, still chuckling. "Not a bad idea.. Want to get some breakfast? That's where I was going.." He trailed off, glancing towards the fuming boy's room as they passed. The teen in question was sprawled on the floor, preparing to launch himself at the door again.

"Why doesn't he just cut the string?" He whispered, quickening his steps. Lavi snickered loudly.

"He gets so mad that he can't think straight...He did just wake up, so it'll be a while before it occurs to him that he has a sword." Allen nodded in understanding.

The two neared the end of the hallway, and Lavi looked behind them as another round of samurai vs. string played out in the formerly peaceful corridor. He sighed contentedly.

Allen frowned, remembering the taller boy's rousing shout. "Lavi... How do you know what Kanda's....'Special' underwear looks like?" The redhead grinned brilliantly.

"Well, you see, this one time, when Yuu-chan and I were sent on a mission to France...."

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ok, there's more idiocy to fill you day! Thanks to all the reviewers, I really felt inspired to continue after your generous comments! Stay tuned for more, next time: Revenge of the Unglued Samurai!

That's all for now, more in the works!

En Finite

2007-10-30T07:09:48Z

I cast the strain of blood before Eosel, she who guards and saves, the one that would hold a bond of living.
To westward holdings, I cry release, devour and consume the soul which pleas.
For northern sky, I stand on the mark of Haet, to speed on the weary breath of fate.
Easterly tide, I gift with open heart, to reach the seal that would be undone
And to SOUTH, I grant my leave for restriction, paralyze and sever that which I have wrought.

Leave this place, I cast you away and apart from myself.
Lie down the trail of penance upon I, the beseecher, no other may speak.
Alone I accept the needed price, repay with equal force.

Through name and bind, I command,
Be seperate with force of water, which overflows
The Flame, which consumes
Air, which sweeps clean the holding
Before Earth and Steel, which divide and become the means to pierce a willing heart.

In the hour of the bond I forsake,
A tripled cost retrieve

I command that what has passed be unwent
I command that what holds be no more
I command that the place reserved be filled

I release that which I claim not, untouched as need be
With that word invoked to embrace, I revoke.

Begone, where you would
Begone, as you will
Begone, unclaimed and unheld

Evolvere

Still Falls The Night....

2007-10-30T06:11:36Z

God, I hate emo-ism...

Once, I heard it said that no one can truly cherish a thing until it is gone. Of course, I understood what it meant, but I didn't actually give it much thought..

I wonder sometimes if the hold I have on certain parts of my life will ever feel comfortable, commonplace and secure. Honestly, I think not. How do you become content with the knowledge that the one you never knew you needed would leave you if they could? No hold should be that strong, to compell a person to be what you wish them to be. If there were no power in the world to bind a person to another, would it be so bad?

When you look back at yourself and wonder who you've become, would there be a difference if you had never known how to coerce, to bind and fetter the essence of a free being into slavery? Was the cost of a life worth the repayment of a decade or more, knowing that you can never be what that person would love most?

I think about the life I've had, and I don't think people would be so kind if they knew the things I've done, or maybe the reasons behind those deeds. Is it selfish to live as you wish, without harming or helping? Is neutrility another way to be selfserving and callous?

You know, it occurs to me now that one of my first memories is of the exact hue of warm honey. Even the flavor, sweet enough to be pain, with that deep bitterness hidden within it.. That image, with the sound/thought of 'Just a little longer, wait for me again. I won't be too long'

I don't know how old I must have been, but it made perfect sense to me at the time.

Has anyone ever told you that they need you? Honestly and completely, that they can never have hoped to exist without you? When they say it, what do you do with the knowing, what can you feel, besides gratitude? Could you reject a plea from those same lips, 'Save me from this night, I would be with you always if I could'?

I remember that first time, waking up to find the face of destiny beside me, weeping. And when I said, 'Angel, why do you cry?' there was no answer but 'I am here.' It made perfect sense as well, though I was a much older child then. Old enough to question the facts and fallacies of the world, but there was no need. Between he and I, there was a knowing, a recognition of opposites. He was I, and I remain him. Even now, after losing that night to 20 years of borrowed time, I remain.

Can a wish made through hope save a life? No.
Can it return a soul to it's broken shell? Never.

But a moment's selfish weakness can become a lifetime of misery.

Would I undo what is done?
Though the color of honey cries out against it, Yes. A million million times, I would. I may be alone in that feeling, but I would take the chance. Loneliness was always my confidant, so I fear not to speak the truth.

I would have you gone, to the place you deserve to be.

In misunderstanding

2007-10-16T08:03:55Z

To the one who matters most,

I love you. If I could save you from all pain, I would. If I could but shroud you from the world in raiments woven from the threads of my soul, I would gladly string the loom and draw out the fibres of my being in an unbroken line of adoration. I keep your thought with me, and I would gladly place myself in your most gentle care, if only to partake of the air you exhale from your lips.

No closer to divinity than I, you remain vaunted and saintly, blessings flow through your veins like blood from immortal Met. The aura of your soul is white, so full of color that no hue can be seen with jaded, earthly eyes such as these, and the merest glance of you is utopian to someone so broken.

If at night I would dream of nothing but your luminosity, I would never weep for the loss of any fantasy. The rapture that flows within your space is complete and endless, how deeply I would sink into the darkness, trusting that your essence would sustain me as breath..

The first though of daylight is and will always be of you, and the single image that sends me into the breast of night forever is your face alit with moonlight in your hair. If chains were forged of your words, I would don them to weigh my body with your loving presence, to keep the ultimate caress of my intentions upon some part of you in return.

Would poetry be sweetened by your voice? Or merely shamed as you speak the words, form the candences? I believe the brightness of new dawn pales and fades when compared with its own reflection within your awakening eyes, no living thing upon this earth could compare to the density of your self, and as rain all things would weep in bitter envy of the things that you hold dear..

If indeed there is life after this, I would give my next and next and next to you, as a token of esteem to one who sees it not as a burden, but as the fondness of a stranger, without seeing the words that were never spoken. Please, all things that have power, let the one so named be safe from all of harm, and sent to rest as stars carol in divine worship of a single perfect creature...
