I don’t own -man. Though for some reason, the recent chapter of the manga seems to be copying my fanfiction “Komui’s experiment.” IT SERIOUSLY DOES!!

Jamie lay in his bed reading a comic book, not an easy task considering his dominant hand was in a sling. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

‘Door’s open!’ He called.

The door swung open, and Kanda walked in, a tired look on his face. Jamie blinked in surprise, then smiled brightly and put his comic down on the bedside table.

‘Hey, Kanda! Haven’t seen you in a few days! I woke up in the room and went to look for you and ran into that big scary Noah, was afraid you got pummeled until Reever told me you were ok.’

‘Yeah….’ Kanda sighed, running his hands through his hair stressfully, ‘Um, listen Blondie; I need your help with something.’

‘What? What is it?’

‘Um…When Clara had control over you…Do you remember what it felt like?’

‘Um, Not really...’ Jamie said in a confused voice, ‘I already said I can’t remember what happened…’

‘I’m not asking what happened, I’m asking how you felt.’

‘How I felt?’ Jamie’s eyes widened. He scratched his head, thinking hard, trying to remember. ‘Lets see…Well, it was kind of like I was in this cold fear thing, and I knew that I had to do what I was told, no matter what. Does that help?’

‘Yeah, it does. Thanks.’

Kanda turned around and walked out of the room before the Australian could ask what he was helping with. He shrugged and picked up his comic book.

‘Wow, Kanda said “thanks”. Milestone.’

Kanda walked quickly towards the library, where he knew Lavi would be today. The way Jamie had described his love, that wasn’t the same. Kanda felt warm and fluttery when he was near Clara, not fearful and obedient. And now he was beginning to figure out his feelings. He truly was in Love with Clara. But, he was starting to figure something else out too.

He threw open the big new doors to the library and spotted Lavi In the corner writing something down. He walked over there, grabbed the redheads shoulder and spun him around. Lavi looked up surprised for a moment, and then grinned broadly.

‘Yuu!’

‘Eyepatch, that important stuff book. I need you to give me the copies you made that relate to sleeping beauty. ‘

‘Um, sorry, I’m not allowed to-‘

‘Let me make something clear,’ Kanda said, towering over Lavi and poking him in the chest painfully, ‘I love Clara. There! I said it! Happy?! Anyway, because I’m so in love with her, I’m trying to get her mind back, and I think I’ve figured out where I could find information to do that. So don’t go telling me you can’t give me the copies because it’s classified information that only higher-ups are allowed to see. Now give me the copies, or I’ll rip off your arms and bludgeon you to death with them!’

Lavi blinked in surprise, then a bright happy smiled spread across his face. He jumped forward and hugged the samurai.

‘Aw, Yuu-Chan is in love! I knew it! I’m so happy for you!’

‘Eyepatch…’

‘Right, right, copies, sorry.’

Lavi let go and got up and walked over to one of the towering bookcases. He pulled out a book, there was a whirring mechanical sound, and suddenly the bookcase started to lower into the ground.

‘It’s so we don’t accidently fall off a ladder and get killed,’ Lavi answered Kanda’s unasked question.

The bookcase went lower into the ground, until finally Lavi put the book in an empty space and it stopped. Lavi walked carefully along the bookcase, then gave a cry of triumph and picked out a heavy folder titled “Noah of love/ important stuff.”

‘Here we go!’ Lavi said cheerfully, handing the folder to Kanda, ‘That’s everything on Clara we have.’

‘Thanks…..You seem to be walking fine now, how’d you recover so fast?’

‘Panda,’ Lavi sobbed, ‘I was too slow for him and he keeps threatening to “take away my legs if I’m not using them.”’

‘I see.’

--

Kanda scrolled down the list of information. There was nothing really here that he didn’t already know. Sighing, he leant his cheek on his hand and turned the page, continuing his search. Suddenly, his eyes widened and looked closer.

‘Sleeping beauty…Snow white….Her self is locked away inside his heart, only he can release her. True loves kiss will wake the sleeping princess.’

‘No way…’

--

Clara, walked cautiously through the winding corridors and halls, searching for Kanda. She knew that it was unfair to ask for every single day to be spent with him, but she needed him. Komui had slipped out to get fresh coffee, so she had snuck away, and was now quite lost. She could feel the desperate fear welling in her chest. She clasped the golden necklace around her neck for comfort, and peered around the next corner, hoping to find someone, Lenalee, Lavi, Allen, Komui, or anyone who she had been introduced to over the past few days. But most of all, she wanted Kanda. She didn’t know why, but she felt extremely safe around him, so warm and fearless and protected. She didn’t know if she had felt like that about anyone before, but she wasn’t interested in anyone else, and she couldn’t remember doing so, so it didn’t matter.

Looking around the corner, her heart sank. It was just another hall of doors, exactly like the ones she had past, empty of all human beings. She almost felt like crying now, afraid she would be lost forever in this dark, unfamiliar place. But still, she had to press on. Gripping the necklace harder in her hand, she walked on, looking straight ahead. But, there was something that made her stop. The half heart in her hand suddenly felt very warm. Looking down at it, she noticed golden light was filtering through her fingers. Opening her hand, the gold light was concentrated into a beam, and travelled along the hall and around a corner. Curious, Clara followed the beam, running quickly, through the halls, down a flight of stairs, and then finally, as she turned a corner, she collided with a firm body, and she felt someone grip her forearms, gasping in surprise. Looking up, her heart swelled with joy as she saw the handsome face, dark eyes and long hair of Kanda.

‘Clara? What are you doing out here alone?’

In answer, she pressed her face against his shirt. He sighed and put his arms around her, stroking her long red-brown hair.

‘Were you looking for me?’

Clara nodded into him, not wanting to let go. Kanda looked down at her. He had to kiss her, he knew that, but if this worked what would happen. Would she love him? Hate him? Or would she simply have abandoned all feelings for him, leaving a neutral friendship?

He didn’t want to take advantage of her when she was like this, so, he pushed her off, putting his hands on her cheeks and looked down at her seriously.

‘Clara...I think I know how to get your mind back but... I’m afraid of what would happen between us. Promise you won’t hate me?’

Clara blinked up at him confusedly, her big grey eyes that he could stare into forever. She smiled and nodded. Kanda smiled back, though somewhat half-heartedly, and took a deep breath, and pressed his lips against hers. Suddenly, the kiss was cut short as Clara collapsed against him. Yelling in surprise, he caught her in his arms and lowered her to the ground. The half heart necklace around her neck was glowing. He stared at it, confused, when he felt a hot burning sensation against his skin. He reached for his own necklace, and discovered that it too was glowing.

‘What in gods name is going on here? Wait...Did she seal herself in these before the Noahs sealed her mind?’

In answer, the necklaces increased in brilliance.

‘Hey Yuu.’

Kanda looked up in shock. Standing above him was the spectral forms of...His parents and sister?!

‘What the...?’

‘You might wanna put the heart together,’ his father suggested with a grin. ‘Before they stop glowing.’

Still staring in shock, Kanda quickly leant down and put the two hearts together, locking them into place. The light became blinding, and a pinkish light shot out, hovered briefly over Clara’s unconscious form, before lowering onto her chest and disappearing into her body. The light began to dim. Kanda looked up at his mother and father.

‘See?’ His mother smiled at him, ‘I said the necklace would ensure you and your special someone would always be together.’

Kanda blinked, his eyes widening as he remembered her words. But, just before he could say anything, the light faded, and as did his parents. Kanda suddenly felt exhausted, and as the world dimmed, he keeled over sideways onto the floor. The last thing he saw before darkness took him was Clara slowly opening her eyes.

--

Kanda opened his onyx eyes, and raised his hand to block the painful sunlight that hit his eyes. As his eyes got used to the brightness, he glanced around, and discovered he was in a hospital room. But, before he could do anything else, he heard a familiar voice cry out, and felt somebody leap onto him and catch him in a tight embrace.

‘Kanda, you’re finally awake!’

That voice...He hadn’t heard it in so long. He wanted to hear more of it, to know he wasn’t dreaming. He gently pushed the person on top of him away, and saw Clara’s smiling face.

‘Clara?’

‘Yup, it’s me. Miss me much? Cos I missed you. Are you ok? You’ve been asleep for almost two days.’

‘Two days? I guess getting you back used up a lot of my energy...’

‘What?’

‘It’s nothing.’ Kanda smiled, ‘I’m just happy you’re back.’

Clara grinned, and leant down and kissed him, answering Kanda’s mental question of how she would feel. Feeling his heart beat quicken, he grabbed her around her waist, pulling her closer. Then-

‘YOU!’

Kanda and Clara separated and sat up. Allen was staring at them from the door, devil horns coming out of his head, eyes blazing.

‘Y-YOU PERVERT!’ Allen yelled, activating his clown crown. Kanda and Clara dodged out of the way as he leapt forward and stabbed the bed with his clawed hand. Kanda stood up and reached for his mugen, which was resting against the wall.

‘Oi!’ Clara yelled, ‘STOP IT!’

‘PERVERT!’ Allen repeated, attempting to strike another blow to Kanda only to be blocked by Mugen, ‘PEODEOPHILE! RAPIST!’

‘Allen!’ Clara yelled, ‘We were only kissing!’

‘Geez, Allen,’ Lavi laughed from the door as he watched the two boys fight, tearing the room apart, ‘I thought you said you were going to accept their relationship.’

‘Well that doesn’t mean I don’t want to kill him!’

Kanda sighed in exasperation, but suddenly, he saw something at the door that caught his eye. Looking over as he held Allen in a headlock, he saw his parents and sister standing behind Lavi, grinning in amusement.

‘Congratulations, Big brother,’ Sakura smiled, ‘You can handle things from here.’

‘We love you, Yuu.’ His mother said kindly as his father put his arm around her.

‘Yeah...’ Kanda thought as they faded away, ‘I love you too.’

‘AND I LOVE CLARA!’ Kanda shouted in Allen’s ear, ‘So quit acting like I’m gonna kidnap her and hold her ransom and be happy for us, you stupid Beansprout!'
