THE INNOCENT KILLS

PROLOGUE

" Come on, Yu! It's only for three months!"

Kanda elicited an annoyed growl. Feeling entirely too grumpy and sleep deprived; he was tempted to the call but refrained himself, knowing that it would only lead to an endless rant from Lavi. The damned Usagi phoned him at such a godly hour, giving him an eternal ramble.... Something about a friend, some brat name Auron, Alex or- he wasn't even going to bother- and something about babysitting. But then the whole topic made a turn to Lavi talking about hot chicks, the beach, and bikinis. Honestly, he was so done with this... The annoying voice sounded of gibberish to him and it drove him to madness. On the second thought, why did he even bother to pick up the damn phone? It's four in the fucking morning!

" Why the hell should I be looking after some damn kid while you run off your skimpy little ass to vacation?" The Japanese grouched, pushing himself into a sitting position and stroke his temples in sheer indignance.

" Oh come on, Yu! What man would leave such a great opportunity to pick up some girls on a date?" ((*cough*Kanda*cough*)) The rabbit reasoned, only to receive a disgusted look from Kanda. Despite not being able to see the face on the other end, Kanda could feel Lavi grinning cheekily into the phone.

" Baka Usagi," Kanda hissed. " You irresponsible fuck." A tight scowl graces his features when he heard childish giggling. It was disturbing hearing such high pitched laughter coming from a twenty-two year old man in his college years, especially when it's Lavi. Kanda shuddered slightly.

" You know you love me, Yu~."

" Fuck off, Prick." Feeling as Lavi was about to respond, the Japanese male cuts him off. " and why the hell didn't you ask Lenalee? I thought she liked kids." A sudden deep sigh resonated from the other end, followed by a faint rustling sound of cloths moving against each other, indicating that the ginger had shifted on his bed. (( for those who are going to argue, Ginger is the same thing as red hair. Period.))

" Yu, we've already established this." Said Lavi, his tone seems to have lost some of its hype, much to Kanda's content. " Komui is a very over protective brother. Being it's a kid or a man, he will not allow anyone near his precious Lenalee."

Kanda raises an eyebrow, not really following the rabbit's point. " And I should worry about that because...?" Another sigh rushed through the call, only to deepen his frown. Why is he not ending the damn call yet? Oh right... The Baka Usagi wouldn't shut his mouth unless he'd agrees to his terms. That redhead is damn persistent, he remembered.

" Yu-chan has no heart!"

" Shut up, you damn rabbit. And don't call me that."

The Asian yawned. Sleep sounded so good right now. All of this wouldn't have happened if he didn't pick up the phone. Even if he ended the call, it would result to his daily suffering; the cause being the Baka Usagi. Everyone should know how talkative this son of a bitch is when he needs something from you. Kanda cursed his luck, mentally.

" If I agree, will you leave me alone?"

" Yes! The three whole months I'm away. No texts, no calls, no nothing." Confirmed the hyperactive redhead. Huh... Three whole months without an annoying burden weighing on his shoulders... Three months without Lavi bothering him... THREE MONTHS...

" Deal." Came a swift reply from the stoic Asian man.

" Thank you, Yu-chan! I owe you one!"

Said Yu-chan returned an indignant grunt, not even bothering to correct that horrid nickname... The one that his foster father began to call him... God damn, how much he despise his given name...

" Whatever. Now let me sleep, Fucktard."

" G'Night, Yu-chan~!"

Kanda scowled. " Shut the fuck up, Prick." The call soon ended in a quick press of a button. Beyond exhausted as he is, Kanda flopped back onto his pillow and fell into an immediate slumber.
