To Learn the Truth

Chapter 1

"Everyone's tence." He said, expecting an answer immediately after his statement. He began getting visually pissed when Reever only looked more confused than before.

"Really? Haven't we always been this way?" Kanda growled and walked away, leaving Reever to think about what he was talking about. It took a few minutes, but Reever finally got it, long after Kanda was gone. He debated going to find the irritable samurai before he cut off any limbs unlucky enough to make him blow his top, but eventually decided it would be alright. Someone would figure out what the boy wanted.

Johnny was his next victim.

The boy was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and he knew it when he was pressed into the wall feet away from him, a hand on his chest to hold him back. Kanda waited for the poor boy's head to stop spinning before questioning him. Johnny immediately got what he was wondering about and burst into tears. Kanda, not expecting such a reaction, released him and stepped a foot back.

"A-A-Allen!" Johnny wailed, and the people around him covered their ears and continued walking, already used to what was going on after two weeks of having to deal with this same thing. Someone from the science devision, someone who Kanda never bothered to learn the name of, just sighed.

"You had to get him started, didn't you." Kanda was too confused to react to the man's words, and the man scurried away when he realized who he was talking to before Kanda's mind could catch up.

"Did that dang moyashi got and get himself killed?" Kanda asked himself, too quiet for Johnny to hear, but enough for one of the finders who was scurrying past to catch the name moyashi, and guessed who Kanda was talking about.

"Kanda-san," He started. Kanda's attention drew to him after a moment's hesitation, as though trying to figure out if it was worth talking with the man or not. "You ha-ha-haven't been here for the past three w-weeks, cor-r-r-rect?" Kanda nodded, skeptical of why the man would chose to give him information without being prompted. "Well, Walker-san has been se-se-ent to the infirmary, and no o-one knows if he is alive o-or not. This wa-was two weeks ago. We haven't been gi-i-iven any information about his condition, and Johnny-san has been un-un-unde-understandably upset. Please don't ma-a-ake him cry any more." The first information to compute in Kanda's mine was that someone who wasn't an exorcist was talking with him willingly. The second was that the man was scurrying on his way, so Kanda couldn't question to clarify what he was saying.

The third was that no one knew what was going on with Allen.

Finally understanding the tense atmosphere, Kanda relaxed a tad and continued on with his day. First to the canteen to grab some well deserved food, then on to bed.

The next morning he went to the dojo, just as he always would do in the mornings, ready to meditate.

Only, Lenalee had beaten him to it. She was sitting in her usual spot that she would go to when quiet was all that she needed. And Kanda would normally be fine with that, if only there wasn't someone sitting in his spot.

Especially if that someone wasn't an eyepatch wearing, red haired, annoying bunny.

It took an entire fourth of a second, but soon enough Kanda had mugen out and against the side of Lavi's throat, pressing just enough to express his irritation.

"Yield! I yield!" Lavi shouted, slowly standing up and moving away from the sword, pressing the tip away from his neck as he did so. "Lenalee, tell Yuu not to kill me!" Once again the sword was up against his neck and Lavi scampered to get away. Kanda sat down in his spot, not caring enough about the red hair's actions to continue his chase.

Kanda expected Lavi to keep taking, but never would have have expected that Lenalee would be the one to question him. She knew the rules about being in the dojo while he's meditating. "Did you hear about Allen yet?" Kanda didn't reply, hoping she would leave him alone when she got the message. And she did, but Lavi picked up where she left off.
