To Be An Exorcist (Kanda Fanfiction)

12th Chapter- Calm Before The Storm

-Naomi's View-

After reporting our mission details to Komui, Kanda and I departed ways, heading to our rooms to sleep. I entered my room, plopping onto the bed. I sighed.

I'm so tired, but is it really worth the risk to wake up in shivering fear? Damn, whatever, I'm sleeping.

I allowed myself to fall asleep, embracing the chance to restore my energy.

"Missed me did you Naomi?" Matt smirked. He was clad in a purple-button up dress shirt with a grey vest over it, his symbol on the right of the vest. He wore black slacks and polished black shoes, and to top it all off, a black fedora with white stripes sat atop his head, tilted to the side a bit.

"You're dressed differently, something's up," I deducted.

"Well I was just having dinner with the family some time ago," his eyes glinted in happiness. "Speaking of dinner, in just a few short days you'll be joining me."

"Like hell I will," I spewed.

"You will. I'll kill anyone who gets in my way. However, to celebrate you joining me for dinner, I will allow all your dreams prior to the dinner to be gracefully peaceful. I suppose it's something like the calm before a storm. A great storm at that," he smiled mischievously. "Anywho, I have things to do, preparations you know? So have a nice sleep, love."

With that the whole scene faded.

I woke up, for the first time in a while feeling relaxed and well-rested. I stretched out, then made to get ready for the day. I had my clothes washed yesterday and they sat folded on my dresser, which I was thankful for. I took a pair of clothes, ones consisting of a long sleeved shirt and the usual pants and socks. I walked into the bathroom, caring for all my needs such as showering and brushing my teeth before walking out, clad in my outfit, lacking only shoes. I put on a pair of boots that went up to my calves (much like Allen's).

Finally, I made my leave, taking my staff with me. I started down to the cafeteria.

"Oh! Naomi!" I turned around to look at Allen.

"Good morning Allen," I nodded, continuing on my way.

"W-wait," he stuttered, running over to me. I stopped, turning to look at him.

I raised a brow. "What?"

"Where are you--are you wearing shoes?! And socks?!" his jaw dropped in surprise.

"I believe they're actually called boots, but you can correct me if I'm wrong," I shrugged.

"Why? I mean, it's just, I've never seen you wear shoes before."

I cringed. "Two words. Dr. Evens."

"I'm not sure I want to know more about that," Allen replied uneasily.

I made a face. "You really don't.."

"Anyway, are you headed to the cafeteria?"

"Yeah why?"

He jumped up, becoming all panicky. "Ah, you don't want to go there now!"

"Huh? Why?"

Something's going on, surely.

"Because um..ah, Komui created another Komlin! Yeah yeah, another Komlin, you don't want to be there right now, it's chaotic," Allen rubbed the back of his head nervously.

"Oh, then we should go help," I replied, becoming suspicious.

"Oh no..we can't, because ah, ah.." he turned his head, seeing something and then looking back at me. "Because you haven't said 'good morning' to Kanda yet! Yep!"
