Chapter 3: Mirror reflects the Heart Part 1

"Why are you disapproving? Would it not be a beneficial to you if a freak like me to d-" He was cut off by a stinging slap from the girl. Silver-blue eyes widened in shock as a hand came to nurse the stinging flesh. He hadn't expected such an outburst. The child can't figured out why the girl isn't happy of him being gone when most, No, all the people in the universe will probably rejoice if he cease to existence. So, why, she's so different from them?

Why does she seemed enraged of his thoughts about himself? Is that supposed to mean what he is thought it is? She cares? No, impossible.

Her eyes narrowing dangerously into slits. "I told you didn't I? Don't disappoint me. Comparing me to such lowly being as those people proves you truly fuck off your head pretty bad, do you?"

"Why do you care?"

Instead of answering his question, A mirror appeared in her hand and pointed it in the boy's face. "What do you see?"

The boy looked at her incredulously. "What do you think I'll be seeing?"

"Just answer the question, damn it!"

"Myself."

"Correct. What else do you see?"

The boy shrugged. "A freak,"

He was expecting some sort of an outburst from the girl when he continue to belittle himself once again but received no response so he looked up to meet her reaction which made his breath hitched, a lump forming at the back of his throat. All he can see is grief and sadness directly towards at him as if she could feel the same misery he was in. Why do you care so much? He wanted to asked her but refrain from doing so as he waited for her further response.

"Wrong. Tell me, What do you really see?"

"A lost child," He answered truthfully now. "A boy who is scared of the world's cruelty and seeks death as his peace but in reality all he wanted was to be accepted as an normal human being because he is no monster as he was just broken boy."

The next thing he knew, he was being covered by overwhelming warmth of the others' embrace. "Mirrors reflects not just deception but the truth as well,boy. Remember that, it will show your heart if you squinted a little further, Red."

"Ah,I see." The boy closed his eyes as he let the warmth engulfed him and lulled him into a peaceful slumber.

"The reports were incomplete," Allen stated calmly after reading the files about their mission which is pretty much the same as Komui have told them before their leave. "So, my assumption is... This isn't your an ordinary mission. Investigate-Kill Akuma-Retrieve Innocence if there is one."

"Shut up, Moyashi." Kanda said, shooting glare at the golden golem baring it's fang against him. "Do you think I care about the damn report? And, Of course, This isn't an ordinary mission. What do you expect, Baka Moyashi?"

The boy remained silent for a few seconds which starting to erode Kanda's patience as Allen just continues to stare at him blankly with undecipherable expression and Kanda was about to explode. Luckily, Allen finally spoke but didn't answer Kanda's sarcasm. "I'm surprised. You're not that talkative usually, Kanda. So, what's new? Did you get laid?"

"What the fuck?!"

"Language,Kanda." Allen reminded him, even he knew it's a futile attempt for Kanda not to swear as it's already in his character to curse like a sailor though much worse than one. "Anyway, back to the mission, Komui did not say how long will this mission take. Don't you think it's strange?"
