A/N: I hope you guys will enjoy this as much as I know I’ll enjoy writing it (I wrote the author notes before writing the story) . Please proceed. By the way, this chapter is on the same day as chapter 3. Except it’s no longer morning, it’s evening.

Disclaimer: I don’t own -Man. Sadly. I wish I did though… okay, mind out of the gutter!

As Allen walked into the cafeteria, he noticed that Lavi was free of all the bandages that had covered him in the morning. Allen wondered what had happened to prompt his ‘miraculous recovery’. After Jerry finished piling up all his food onto his plate, he quickly walked to his table. Technically, it wasn’t his, but he always ate at that table…

As he placed his food on the table, he became extremely aware of Kanda’s famous death glare being aimed at some unfortunate soul. He was about to defend the person when he noticed that Lavi had dragged Kanda and Lenalee to his table.

The three of them settled onto the table quickly.

“So, how did you recover so quickly, Lavi?” Allen questioned, trying to break the ice.

“Yeah, I’ve been wondering about it too, Lavi,” Lenalee said.

“It’s probably Komui,” Kanda said. Nothing happened, except Lavi’s mischeivious smile dimmed a little, but there might as well be a huge neon sign with the words ‘bingo! You’re absolutely right!’ on hanging over his head. Komui had probably been irritated with how close Lenalee was with him.

“So, uh, did anything strange happen to you guys?”

“Don’t worry, my brother can fix it.”

‘Che, he doesn’t even know what happened?’ Kanda thought, irritated.

‘Do you think this is a good time to ask him to reverse this?’ Allen asked Kanda.

“You’re zoning out, Allen, Kanda,” lenalee spoke as she hit them on the head gently.

“Tell us what you did,” Kanda spoke irritably. “Before I shove mugen down your throat,” he continued coldly. Lavi could have sworn that Kanda’s eyes glinted. He gulped and began to explain.

“Well, according to some records, there is a way to bind the owners of innocence together so that they watch out for each other. But because it was the wrong incantation I used, I don’t know what will happen. It’s not well documented… but now it will be!” Lavi said excitedly. He glanced at the two exorcists’ face and was not too surprised to see that both had a murderous aura about them. Nervously, Lavi shifted his chair back.

“Well, you two kept quarrelling!” Lavi continued, trying to defend himself.

“So, er… do you mind telling me what happened? I’m sure something should have happened…” Lavi asked meekly.

Allen didn’t like the way Lavi was looking at him.

‘Why is he looking at me like that?’

‘Who knows what the baka is thinking about? I bet you’re meant to show some effects though..’ Kanda replied.

‘I don’t feel any different. Unless you count us being able to read each other’s minds.’ Allen thought.

‘If I’m not mistaken, that is pretty important’ Kanda told Allen. Allen noticed that Kanda’s temper was on the rise and decided not to test Kanda’s patience for the time being.

‘I guess so. Do you want to tell him?’

‘Whatever.’

‘Say, do you think Komui will try to do experiments on us so he can ‘collect data’?”Allen asked

‘He might. I guess we’ll keep quiet about it for now.’

‘Fine with me. Experimenting sounds painful. How about the ability to sense each other’s emotions?’

‘You can SENSE my emotions?’ Kanda questioned angrily. Allen couldn't help the smile that crept to his face. So there was something that he could do and kanda couldn't.

‘Don’t scream. I assume you can’t sense mine? Try it. You could probably sense mine too,’ Allen said(in his head anyway)

“Allen? Kanda? Are you guys still on Earth?”

“Allen?” Lavi cut in, figuring that Allen would be calmer than Kanda. “Did anything weird happen to you?”

‘Uh… no…’

‘Use your mouth, moyashi. And I would recommend swallowing your food before you speak.’

Allen blushed. He quickly swallowed his food.

“No. Nothing happened, Lavi,” Allen murmured, trying to sound as normal as possible.

“You’re acting kind of weird, the two of you.”

“Che.”

“Yuu-chan’s acting normal already,” Lavi muttered.

As Allen lay down in his bed, he found his mind reaching out to Kanda. He could not stop himself from staring at Kanda’ room from Kanda’s eyes. He only stopped staring when Kanda began to unbutton his blouse. Allen found himself blushing wildly. What was he, a schoolgirl? Still, he couldn’t stop his heart from racing as he remembered Kanda’s toned body.

‘Stop being such a pervert.’

Allen blushed even harder.

A/N: Hope you enjoyed it!^^ I pity Allen, it must be hard to have Kanda reading his mind. I wouldn’t mind swapping places with him though. XD
