The Gentleman and Lady 01

'In London'

"Ah, just perfect," A elegant lady stepped out of the carriage, "London...how long has it been? I haven't been here for years... Harvard was fun...but not as interesting as London..."

Her beautiful silver hair flowed in the wind. She was delighted to be back home. London. To Allen (or you can call her by her full name, Alice Millennium Walker) who has been an orphan ever since she could remember, Britain was her birth land.

"How long has it been since I've been home..." She gracefully walked up to the mansion. Her majestically gestures captured eyes. She was defiantly from a high, noble family. Her beautiful outer face and gallant gestures said it all.

She knocked on the door. A women opened the door.

"Ah!" The women gasped, "Miss Walker!" The women hugged Allen at once.

"Miranda!" Allen hugged her back, "How long has it been...2 years at least? I left when I was about twelve or thirteen..."

"Yes, it's been 2 years and 9 months! I thought you were finishing your education in America?" Miranda looked confused.

"I have. Harvard was a wonderful experience," Allen smiled. She was an intelligent lady. Finished university at the age of 15. Most students in universities were men. Very few women were university students. Allen was an exception. She was an brilliant lady with a kind attitude, beautiful looks, the wealth and authority as a family member of a high noble family, and amazing skills on the piano.

She was a perfect lady. Sadly, her only flaw was her red scar, hidden under her silver hair. It was right on the left side of her forehead. The injury was inflicted on her after a terrible accident where her father died and she was left with the permanent scar. Her left arm, which was always covered by a white silk glove, was also very unfortunate.

It was red. Damaged. People often were scared because of her injuries, and she often covered her arm.

"Ah...the house hasn't changed one bit..." Allen sighed as she looked around the mansion, "You've kept it in very good shape, Miranda."

"Thank you, Miss Walker," Miranda smiled. Miranda wasn't the best worker. She was always clumsy and careless and broke many items. She was jobless until Allen kindly took her in. She was Allen's only maid and Allen was happy with Miranda. She did not mind a few dishes broken.

"London...How I missed it so much..." Allen took a deep breath.

"What did you just say? You lost the money? You damn ba-"

"Now, Yuu. Let's not say harsh words. We've just arrived in London. Let's try to be like gentlemen, shall we?" Lavi smiled as he tried to calm Kanda down.

"Gentlemen my ass," Kanda hissed the words out. Several eyes turned to him. Some coughs. Some cold stares. Kanda never minded the people. Lavi sighed. He shouldn't expect anything too formal from Kanda.

"What a great way to start in a new country...I thought we agreed to be proper denizens in London... Anyways, I lost the wallet."

"Great, how are we going to live in here?" Kanda growled.

"Well, we can try getting a job. Maybe working as a butler in a rich Noble's house get us a place to stay and money. I can probably find work probably easily. I have my amazing knowledge." Lavi sneared.

"I could get a job just as fast as you." Kanda replied.

"Oh, sure. So, where are we going to sleep for the night? It's only noon, but we don't have any money...How are we going to get a place to sleep?" Lavi worried. He dragged his luggage.

"Just as you said, work as a stupid butler or something." Kanda growled as they walked down the street. The streets of London were usually very busy this time of day. But the road were a bit empty, and there were very few people outside.

"Ah, so little people. It's because of the gang of assassins going around London...Already five have been killed the past two months. The police are desperate in finding them." Lavi sighed.

"Assassins..." Kanda mumbled. Lavi guessed it right. Murders have been going around London. London was no longer a safe place to be in without protection. Lavi walked down the street when something or someone caught his eye.

"Hey, look."

Kanda turned his head at Lavi's voice.

"What?"

"Look at her!" Lavi pointed at a woman in the distance, "She's a beauty...she looks a bit young. Not much of my type, but she's quite a rare beauty, don't you think so, Kanda?" Lavi nudged Kanda. Kanda snarled at him.

Kanda glanced at the woman. Her silver hair. Her petite and adorable figure. Her smile was like none anyone has ever seen. Her smile was so bright, so flawless. So blissful, that it made people smile with her.

Just the kind of person Kanda hates.

Kanda was never the happy person.

"Oh...the gang of assassins..." Allen murmured.

"Yes, Miss Walker....going out to downtown London is very dangerous...I think you should refrain from going downtown until we can hire someone to keep you safe..." Miranda replied.

Lavi couldn't help listening to this conversation when he realized a brilliant idea.

"Excuse me?" Lavi politely interrupted the conversation, "It seems as if you are looking for someone to protect you, a bodyguard perhaps?"

"Ah...yes..." Allen replied with such a gentle and angelic voice, "It seems as if London has changed so much between the last 2 years...It seems as if it is dangerous to wander around without protection."

"Why, of course. For such a beautiful lady like yourself, I would take extra cautions," Allen smiled at Lavi's complement, "That is why I offer you a good deal. My friend here, Kanda Yuu, is a skilled sword fighter from Japan. He is very strong and very loyal. I am sure he will be of much use."

Kanda has about to hit Lavi. He didn't discuss this with Kanda. But he stopped. He realized that this was actually a great idea.

"Ah, that would be delightful!" Allen smiled, "What would you like for you payment?" Allen asked.

"Three meals a day and a place to stay for me and my friend would be satisfactory." Lavi answered.

"Why, of course! Welcome to my mansion..." Allen stopped.

"My name is Lavi." Lavi replied.

"Welcome, Mister Lavi. Mister Kanda."

Kanda complained to himself as he rode the fancy carriage. He did not show his anger, but he was stirring up inside. Kanda was not a very bright person. Very negative, to be honest.

"Thank you for lending me your skills, Kanda." Allen smiled as she rode the carriage. Kanda did not reply. Allen was stunned to hear no reply, but did not complain.

She stately sat down in her seat. Everything about her was so elegant. From the tip of her head, to her toes. She was the kind of person Kanda was bad at socializing with. Kanda tried to ignore her as much as possible, but she had that radiant aura.

The kind of aura that was hard to ignore.

"AH! LONDON!" Allen gasped as the carriage entered downtown London. The streets were quite empty. There were people, but not many. Allen was happy anyways, "Oh my....London! I missed it so much!"

Kanda looked as Allen giggled like a child.

"Were you away for a long time?" Kanda tried to start a conversation.

"Oh yes. I was in America. I was finishing my education at Harvard college." Allen smiled her perfect smile as she answered Kanda so polietly that it made him feel awkward, "I am but an adopted child in such a high born family."

"Adopted?"

"Yes, my father, Mana Walker adopted me when I was very little. He was the distant relative of a very rich and high noble family, the Millenium Family. I can not receive the name of the Walker family until I marry someone...But until then, I decided to go over seas for my studies." Allen explained, "Of course, I expected to graduate at least two years later than this."

"You must be smart."

"Thank you for your kind compliment." Allen smiled.

"So...If you were adopted, where's your...father?" Allen froze and Kanda's question.

"My father died in a accident, about 3 years ago. When I was about 11 or 12. I survived, but there are severe wounds on my forehead and arm." Allen replied.

"May I see it?" Kanda asked.

"Oh no..." Allen whimpered, "I can not show such a ugly and vulgar wound..."

"It's okay. I've seen tons of ugly things in life." Kanda reassured her. Allen was slightly surprised at Kanda's comment. She nodded and silently took of her gloves.

A red, ugly, and discordant arm was hidden behind her silk gloves. It was a tone of light red, the color of blood. Allen looked so sad as she showed Kanda her wound. It was something she dreaded to show. She was teased very often when she was in England because of this.

"It's fine. I've seen worse." Kanda replied, trying to encourage her. Honestly, Kanda did not think this affected her too much, "You're already perfect in plenty of ways. A wound on the arm wouldn't be too much of a bother. You are already very beautiful." Kanda was surprised himself when he said such a comment.

"Th...Thank you." Allen's cheecks turned pink at Kanda's comment. She never met anyone who treated her so polietly after seeing her wound. Most people called her a witch. A monster. They asked how she kept on living with such a unstately arm.
