THE INNOCENT KILLS

First Meeting

What's taking those two so long? Kanda tapped his foot impatiently against the marbled floor , practically pacing around the lobby, waiting for a certain redhead and possibly a child to make their appearance.

As if on cue, a familiar figure emerged from the entrance of the double doors -- a mop of hair in complete crimson, followed by a shocking speck of white in Lavi's arms. The little boy was the first thing to catch Kanda's cold dark blue eyes, considering the bright snowy strands and those doe silver orbs looked rather unatural. It wouldn't be hard to spot something in the distance, unless the kid were to drown in the waves of crowds, then that would be a huge problem. On the left of his forehead head etched a deep red pentacle followed by a jagged line dragged down to the corner of his lips. And the bandaged arm hadn't been left unnoticed, either. But Kanda decided to push the unecessarry thoughts away.

" Mornin' Yu!" Lavi chirped a greet, receiving a sharp glare in return.

" Call me that one more time and I promise death in your future." Kanda hissed. " What took you so long?"

" Traffic." Lavi simply replied, letting the silver haired boy down onto his feet. " But that's beside the point. Yu-chan, meet my cousin, Allen. Allen, meet Kanda Yu." The red head glanced in between the two, giving a brief introduction of the two. The Asian scoffed, dark blue eyes inspecting the child -- who was now dubbed as Allen -- closely. Allen quivered under Kanda's cold stare, unable to take the pressure and hid behind Lavi's being, using him as a shield. A small whimper left the youth as he kept his eyes shut tight.

Lavi smiled cheekily. " Dun' worreh 'bout, Yu." He said, reassuring the boy with a soft pat on the crown of Allen's hair. " He may look like it, but he ain't gunna hurt a fly..."

Kanda shot Lavi a warning glare, daring the other male to continue his trail and silently promised the other death wish if the red head dared to finish his coaxing. A smugged smirk grew on the corner of his as the red head visibly shuddered,. Kanda turned to hide it his grin.

" Com'on." Lavi urged, gently nudging Allen towards the Asian man, only resulting the child to cling onto his leg tighter. Lavi sighed. " See what ya've done?"

Rolling his eyes, Kanda kneeled down in front of Allen. " Kid." He called, surprisingly in a gentle voice. Dark blue hues soften as he reached over to pat the boy on the head. Allen flinched at the sudden contact, but then relaxed after a moment before he found himself leaning into the touch. His vice grip loosen on Lavi's pants before it fell gently onto his sides. A small blush decorated Allen's pale cheeks -- coloring it a light tinge of pink.

Cute... Kanda pondered, smiling ever so slightly but soon to vanish when a flash hit his vision. The Japanese directed his glare at the grinning red head, gnawing tightly at his teeth. The red head had a camera in his hand and had most likely taken a picture of Kanda patting the idiot's cousin's head with such affection shown to pubic eyes, something that is usually pressumed to be impossible for the Japanese male. But again, Kanda is still human.

Leaning to whisper into Allen's ear, Kanda stood and stalked over to his so called friend.

Being the oblivious and innocent child he was, Allen turned his back towards the two and covered his ears -- as told by the Japanese man. Faint crashing noises and cat hisses sounded in the air, soon coming to a complete stop after what seemed like a minute or so. Blinking, the silver haired boy made an attempted to turn and look, but then found himself being hoist into the air. A puzzled look plagued Allen's face as he turned to stare at whoever that hauled him off the ground. Finding that it was Kanda, he squirmed.

" Calm down. I am of no harm to you." said Kanda as he watched the child froze and stare. A small smile tugged at the corner of his lips as he brought a hand up to stroke the kid's soft snowy hair. " The rabbit's off to catch a flight, so you'll be staying with me for the remaining three months."

Allen nodded meekly. " Where is Lavi going, Yu Onii-chan?"

" To Califor--" Wait... Did the Moyashi just-. Kanda eyed the boy, his expression more blank than ever. " What did you just call me?" His tone sounded of puzzlement rather than anger. He wanted to confirm it. To check and see if his ears wasn't fucking with him. Did he just call him Yu onii-chan?

A guilty look took over Allen's features as he bowed his head, assuming that he had said something to anger the elder man. " I'm sorry... did that bother you?"

Surprisingly enough, Kanda shook his head and swallowed. Damn, the moyashi is too cute for his own good... Kanda pondered. Having this kid around will later be the result of his death...

" No."

Allen looked up at him, confusion visble in his eyes. The Asian male heaves a sigh and started his way towards his aparment. " Adress me as whatever you wish," He stated. At least this one is more tolerable...
