"Hey Kanda." Lenalee looked up from her homework. Kanda, his teacup reaching halfway to his lips, stopped and glared at her.
"What." he asked.
Lenalee, even though she's used to his coldness, frowned lightly and started doodling on her notebook. Kanda noticed her scowl and set his drink down. Again, he sighed and asked; with a more softer tone.
"What is it."
Lenalee began twiddling with her papers. "Do...you have something important to you?" she glanced up quickly then returned her attention to her drawing.
Kanda raised his eyebrow as if she's talking another language. "What?"
She laughed softly and waved her hands in front of her as she shook her head. "Well, I thought everybody must have something important to them." She turned the page to her half finished homework. "Something that they live for..."
Kanda stared at her blankly for a second, and with a sigh, he layed down, using his arms as a pillow. Lenalee continued looking down on her notebook as she waited for an answer.
Lenalee shut her eyes tightly. It was definetly an awkward question, and to top it all off, it was Kanda she was asking.
"It's ok Kanda." She said, with a remorseful voice. "It was just a stupid ques-"
"Be quiet." Kanda muttered.
Lenalee obeyed, then slowly, she smiled. "Sorry Komui made you come over, I know you don't feel comfortable in other places."
"Tch." he turned his back to her. "I wouldn't even bother to come if he didn't make a big scene outside the school. I had no choice but to follow him."
"I'm not sure what he wanted." Lenalee started. "But don't worry, I won't let him do anything weird to you." she smiled with unconfidence.
Kanda twitched. "...That's not what I'm afraid of..." his voice filled with horror.
"It's readyyyyyy~!" Komui came out of the kitchen holding a big pot. A strong scent of onions and staleness filled the house.
Kanda sat up straight. "It's this I'm afraid of." he scrunched his face together at the smell.
Komui's grin shoned. "Hehe!" He set the pot down. "IT'S MY NEWEST CREATION! A ONE OF A KIND DISH!" He lifted up the lid "KOMUI'S POT OF GOLD!" he yelled dramatically. "TA-DAAAAA!"
"W- WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?" Kanda yelled.
"Brother! What did you make?!" Lenalee waved her hands all over furiously to clear out the smoke.
"KOMUI'S POT OF GOLD." He repeated just in case the two didn't hear him.
Kanda bent over to took a look at the so called "creation".
"So? What do you think?" Komui asked and beamed proudly.
Kanda eyes filled with tears. "Ugmph!" He covered his mouth and ran upstairs.
Lenalee too peeked inside the pot, but it took one second before her face went distorted.
"Brother! This is disgusting!" Lenalee complained and put the lid over.
"Eh?! How can my masterpiece be disgusting? Lenalee! You haven't even tasted it!" Komui whined.
Lenalee shook her head "I don't need to taste it." she stood up "I'll go check on Kanda." and ran upstairs.
"Le-Lenaleeeee!" Komui cried after her "Noooooo!" He turned his disappointed eyes to the bubbling pot and walked over.
"Can it really be that bad?" he asked himself. He glanced inside the pot and stared into it. An evil smirk slowly formed. "Ke, ke, ke...I know who I can ask to eat it." and chuckled.
"Kanda." Lenalee knocked on the bathroom door. "Kanda? Are you ok?" No answer. She continued knocking. "Kan-"
The door flew open and Kanda appeared with a pale face. "I can't believe I came to see Komui make pig shit." He said and wiped his mouth with his hands.
Lenalee smiled timidly, then handed him a towel. "I'm sorry. He always like to try out different things, most of them turn out like this one."
Kanda took the towel. "No wonder you're so thin, you don't get any real food in this house."
Lenalee smiled cheerfully at his comment. "Thank you, Kanda." She said "Thank you for caring about me."
"Tch." Kanda turned away.
Knock Knock
"Comingggg~!" They heard Komui's voice from downstairs. The door opened. "I'm glad you can make it!" Komui shouted. They heard footsteps coming in.
"Visitors?" Lenalee said. "At this time?"
Kanda frowned, he knew something was going to stir up.
"What is this smell?!" A familiar voice said. "It stinks."
Lenalee knew the voice. "Lavi?" she said and ran to the stairs.
"The idiot rabbit?" Kanda asked as he clenched his fists. "Grr...why is he here?"
"Sensei! What have you been cooking?" Another person asked. Lenalee knew the voice too.
"Allen-kun..."
"Beansprout?!" Kanda exclaimed. "What the hell is Komui doing?" he ran downstairs as if he was hurrying to a fight. Lenalee followed him.
"Eh? Where's Lenalee?" Lavi asked looking around.
"She's upstairs checking on Kanda." Komui said.
"KANDA?" Lavi and Allen cried together as they looked at each other confusingly.
"YU-CHAN IS HERE?" Lavi gasped.
"WHY--WHY IS KANDA HERE?!" Allen screamed with a dumbfounded face.
"I could ask you the same thing, beansprout." Kanda stomped down the steps with an irritated look on his face.
"Lavi! Allen!" Lenalee peeked out "It is really you!" she said happily.
"Ah! Lenalee!" Lavi waved at her. "I was just looking for you." he smiled.
Lenalee smiled back. Somehow, she felt it was going to be a memorable day. However, that moment was stopped from the familiar arguement.
"Get out." Kanda said with his confident stance and his folded arms.
"I'm sorry, I find no reason to."
"Get out now, beansprout."
"I was merely invited here to have dinner, but if you don't like the idea, you may leave."
"I was here first, beansprout."
"Seem's like you're too SLOW to comprehend that my name is actually ALLEN."
"I don't care what your name is, just get out."
"Now, now...let's be nice." Komui stepped in between them. Lavi agreed and held back Allen. "We're not here to fight, Allen."
Kanda shifted his you-must-die glare from Allen to Komui. "This was your little idea wasn't it." he questioned in a murderous mumble.
"Yes, yes." Komui nodded as he led them into the living room. "Since no one was going to eat my treasure, I bet Allen will." he said with utmost confidence
Lavi looked at him nervously. "So what exactly are we here for then? If we don't have any real dinner?" they walked into the room.
Lenalee was pushing Kanda to walk along. "I'll go make dinner then." she sat him down.
Lavi turned around and beamed. "Yeah! Now if Lenalee cooks, I'm fine with staying here to eat." he took a seat and comfortably made himself at home.
Allen nodded "Thank you, Lenalee." he smiled at her.
Lenalee looked away from him, her heart started to thump again, her face turning red and that warm feeling possessed her body. She quickly turned around and started to walk away. "Well I'm going to buy the ingredients first."
Komui frowned disapprovingly. "Lenalee! Brother will come with you! Wait for me!" he stood up.
"No need to brother!" Lenalee hollered from the door. "I'll be back soon!" and they heard the door shut.
"Twenty-one dollars and fifty cents please."
Lenalee nodded as she dug her hand into her coat pocket. Empty.
"Eh?" Her eyes widened. She looked in her other pocket. Nothing. She felt her back pockets, nothing but dust.
"This...can't be happening..." she started to panic. The cashier looked frustrated.
"Miss...there's alot of people in line."
"I'm sorry, ma'am." Lenalee looked again in all her pockets. "I- I forgot to bring my money."
"Miss, I'm afraid I can't..." the cashiers voice gradually faded and she stared past her. Lenalee, still oblivious to this, was searching frantically all over for her missing wallet.
"Where could I have put it." She mumbled to herself. Suddenly, she felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned around.
"You idiot." Kanda stood there with his annoyed face, clutching onto her wallet.
Lenalee blinked cluelessly. "Kanda?!"
Kanda frowned. "Just take it and pay already."
Still in a state of shock, Lenalee took the wallet and set down the exact amount of change.
The cashier, her eyes glued onto Kanda, took the money carelessly and began bagging the groceries. Kanda glanced from time to time at her and finally walked away.
"I'll wait for you outside." he said.
Lenalee smiled brightly and nodded. "Ok!"
"Thank you very much, have a nice day." the dazed worker commented, her eyes on Kanda until the last moment he left the store.
Lenalee held onto a bag on each hand, but her hands were already full from grabbing onto those, she couldn't get the rest.
"Hey miss." The cashier said as she set the other bags down for Lenalee. "Is that your boyfriend?"
Lenalee flustered, her face turned red again. "N-no! Of course not! He's just a friend!"
The cashier laughed. "Well he certainly is a pretty boy." She winked. "And you guys look good together."
Lenalee smiled a little. "Thank you for your compliment." she grabbed all her bags in one go. "have a nice day." and bowed politely before leaving.
Lenalee ran out and looked around for Kanda, but he was nowhere to be found. She let out a breath and giggled softly to herself.
"And I really thought Kanda wouldn't really wait for me." she sighed and took a step forward, but the bags were so heavy for her she lost balance and tripped.
BOOM!
"Ow..ow..." Lenalee stood up and noticed her knees scratched, the same exact place where she hurt it a few days ago. She looked around her, food was scattered all over the floor. She sighed again out of sympathy and began limping her way to the bags to put back the ruined vegetables in.
"How clumsy of me." Lenalee scolded herself and bended down, her knee screaming pain. "Ow..ouch." she flinched. "I can't do anything by myself can I?" her voice choking as she spoke. "Why do I keep on relying on others?" the dry concrete was soon soaked with teardrops. She stopped packing and clenched onto the bag, sobbing softly.
After a moment, she heard paper rustling, and a faint mumble. Someone was there. She opened her eyes and lifted her head.
To her suprise, Kanda was once again in front of her, kneeling down and collecting the groceries. He saw her looking at him and began yelling.
"YOU IDIOT!" Kanda screamed at her. "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!"
Lenalee blinked her tears away. She made sure it wasn't an illusion, then smiled.
"DON'T JUST SIT THERE! HURRY UP AND -"
Lenalee started to tremble, then she began to sob.
Kanda paused and stood up. He walked over to her. "Oi, what's wrong." he asked and nudged.
Lenalee couldn't stop crying, she wasn't crying about anything else, she was crying because she was glad. She was glad that Kanda was there, she was glad he came back for her.
"I- I'm glad you came back, Kanda." Lenalee's sob began to stop. "I thought you left me."
Kanda looked at her as if he's trying to put together a puzzle. "I told you I would be waiting for you outside." he took all the bags and sat it in his bike basket. "I just went to get the bike, besides, I was only gone for a few minutes."
Lenalee couldn't stand up from the embarassment. "I'm sorry, I acted so immaturely."
Kanda kicked off the brake and hopped onto the seat. "Whatever." he commented. Lenalee didn't move.
He started to get mad and finally gave in. "It's ok, alright? Now get on."
She stood up and slowly walked over. She climbed onto the seat and held tightly onto the edges.
Kanda looked at her "Don't blame me if you fall." he said in a sarcastic tone and started to pedal.
Lenalee held onto the edges tighter. But the rocky ground didn't let her, finally she gave up and put her arms around Kanda's waist.
Kanda turned around for a millisecond and smiled triumphantly.
The ride back home was long and dreary, it felt like forever to Lenalee. Even though they don't usually talk alot, the silence between them now seems so much more awkward than usual.
"Thank you, Kanda." she began in a small voice.
"You said that too much today." Kanda replied cooly.
Lenalee hung her head down. "I know..." she felt pitiful. "I don't know what else to say to you...other than thank you. Because that's all you done for me today, everything you've done was helpful, I can't find any more words..."
Kanda stayed quiet.
I know he's mad at me, what am I going to do? Lenalee couldn't stop thinking about that. He doesn't even want to talk anymore. She didn't make a sound until Kanda spoke up.
"Who was it that told me that we can never be even?"
Lenalee looked up.
"We've never been even, ever since we knew each other." he looked back to meet her eyes. "That's why we're friends."
Lenalee thought she saw a smile, a real smile coming from Kanda. But it doesn't matter, because what he said was even better than a smile.
"I won't depend on anybody else next time, Kanda. I'll only be counting on myself." Lenalee said with a determined tone.
Kanda kept quiet again. Lenalee rested on him.
"That question you asked me earlier, something that's important to me..." Kanda started. Lenalee perked up. He continued. "It's not something, but it's rather-" he paused to gather up his thoughts into words.
"Rather?" Lenalee continued for him.
"Rather..." Kanda began "someone important." he mumbled under his breath.
Lenalee looked puzzled. "What did you say, I didn't hear that clearly." she said
"Forget it, nevermind." Kanda turned away from her. Lenalee noticed his grip tightened on the bike. She stretched her neck out to take a glimpse of Kanda's flustered face, and smiled. She rested on him again. It was a question he didn't want to answer, and Lenalee knew it. But one day, he was going to tell her, she knew it.
Sorry to all LavixLenalee or AllenxLenalee. But this is a shrine of KandaxLenalee. Go ahead! Jump on the ship my fellow worshippers!
Allen is still my one and only bishie, but all this mystery surrounding Kanda is making me like him more and more...ttebayo!
