So I know I probably shouldn't start a new story but at least with this one I've written five chapters for it. And I plan on keeping myself like that, forever ahead of the updates. Expect an update every week sometime during the weekend.
Anyway, this story is going to be told in drabbles and if you're not sure what I mean by that, check out Invisible in the rise of the guardians fandom. It's the most favorited story there, I think. The only difference is that mine will have a plot so it will eventually end, while that one will never really have an ending. And by drabbles I mean I am going to put some things out of order.
Like this chapter is actually at the end of the beginning so later on you will get some chapters that don't have Lavi. Hopefully that makes sense and you won't get too confused.
Drabble #1: A scribe joins
Lenalee wiped her forehead for the third time in a row because, boy, was it hot! She could probably roast some poor goblins in this heat… actually, didn't she have some left from the last time they had snuck into her shack?
She shot a glance at the two boys who were glaring at each other to make sure she wouldn't be seen and then slowly took off her satchel to rummage for the unlucky goblins.
No, she didn't want her staff at the moment, neither did she want her ornate scrying bowl. Or whatever was in that sealed jar. Lenalee gritted her teeth together, just where were those stupid goblins?! Even dead they annoyed her. She stuffed her hands in the magical bag once more and let cheer escape when she felt the plastic feel of the bag that held the creatures.
Too bad that when she had cheered, both Kanda and Allen had turned around immediately suspicious of her (and they had a good reason too; last time she had cheered like that had lead up to them being cats for a day) to find her holding up a bag with a gleam in her eyes that sent shivers up the boys' backs.
Kanda wanted to ripped it from her evil clutches but Allen being the gentlemanly ghost he was, put up a hand to stop him and asked with a smile what was in her hands.
"Oh, you know, the usual." She said dismissingly, hoping they would shrug it off, but her hope diminished when she saw Allen narrow his silver eyes.
"Actually, Lenalee, I don't. If you could remind me that would be appreciated."
The girl sighed in defeat and muttered, "Goblins."
Kanda's eyes widened by a silver, "Damn witch, trying to cast a spell again. I'll take them." He took a step forward, and this time Allen didn't stop him, and held out his hand. Lenalee dropped them in there with a pout before hurrying forward, the very picture of a sulking witch.
The midnight-blue haired man opened the bag and took a sniff only to scrunch up his nose. Allen laughed and Kanda turned to glare at him while internally cursing the horrid stench.
It was about to escalate to a shouting match when Lenalee interrupted them.
"Hey! There's water over there!"
Kanda rushed to her side, he needed to cleanse his nose of the odor. But his face fell when all he saw was the same old red-orange color of the sand they were standing on.
"Che. Liar."
"Stealer." Lenalee shot back. She had to get revenge somehow.
Poor Allen chose this moment to appear next to Kanda searching for the nonexistent water and suffered a punch to the shoulder.
"What was that for!?" He squawked.
"Your idiocy. There's no water."
"Wai-" Lenalee tried to shout.
"That's no reason to punch a person!"
"Che." Kanda glanced away.
"Hey! Don't ignore me!"
"Wait!" Lenalee yelled with her staff in her hand.
Allen tried to say something but couldn't move his lips. Kanda realized this a second later.
"I will take the spell off in a second but first I have a question: how can Kanda punch you if you're a ghost?" Lenalee asked with her brow furrowed into a frown. She gave them time to get their answers ready and then lifted the spell.
A voice answered for Allen who was now moving his mouth to make sure it was working.
"It's because the demon is a powerful one, right?"
Lenalee spun around to see who had spoken. It was guy who had bright red hair that reminded her of a potion that caused objects to become liquid, quite useful when trying to hide something. Anyway, he had an eye patch over his right eye and his other eye was emerald. Lenalee got the sense that he had seen things that he hadn't supposed to see and decided to keep that thought to herself.
She asked the obvious question as her teammates were still struggling with the simple spell she had cast. "Who are you?"
"I'm a simple scribe who calls himself Lavi." He introduced himself.
"And why are you in middle of nowhere?"
"Following you guys. And girls." He said rapidly when seeing her face.
"Why were you following us?" At her guarded tone, Allen and Kanda got ready to fight, though Lenalee wasn't too sure how Allen could fight. After all, he was a ghost and couldn't touch anything and anybody so it wasn't like he could punch or kick Lavi. Even she couldn't touch him unless she cast a spell on her hands.
"I was forced by my gramps." He sheepishly rubbed the back of his head with an easy going smile on his face. "He wanted me to record your adventures because apparently he felt like something important was going to happen to you guys… So like it or not, you're going to have to deal with me!"
Lenalee turned her back to him and walked to Allen and Kanda to discuss what to do with him. He didn't seem to be too bothered.
"Allen what do you think of him?"
"I think he's fine and if not we can always drop him off somewhere, Lenalee."
"I was thinking the same thing."
They both looked at Kanda who looked away when he noticed they were staring at him.
"Kanda." Allen said exasperated of the older's tactics. "As much as I hate to admit it, you're part of this group so we need your opinion."
"Che. He seems like an idiot but he's better than you at least." Kanda conceded.
"Okay, that's great!" Lenalee exclaimed and walked back to the newcomer to tell him of the good news.
Meanwhile, Kanda and Allen hoped that her brother wouldn't find out about Lavi because or else they were dead.
It was dinner time or as close as it would come to dinner time in the desert-like area where there was no water.
"Oh! I apologize, we never did introduce each other to you." Allen realized and stood up with a polite smile. "I'm Allen Walker, just call me Allen though."
Lenalee followed his example, "I'm Lenalee! I've been traveling with these two for like two weeks now so if you have any questions I'm not sure I can answer them, but don't hesitate to ask me."
"Will do, Lena-lady~" He said cheekily causing her to sigh, "I just told you my name's Lenalee."
Kanda was not going to introduce himself to the idiot so he didn't move.
"That's Kanda Yu and don't worry he's always like this." Lenalee said for him.
Lavi smirked and winked, or at least Allen got the feel that he was winking, "So Yu, can I call you that?"
Now, that got a reaction out of Kanda.
In a flash, Lavi was pushed up against the hot sand with a katana pressed up against his throat, "Do. Not. Call. Me. That." He threatened with his voice low and Lavi, all of a sudden, remembered something that he had overlooked, Kanda was a demon. In his human-like form, Lavi had forgotten that Kanda had probably killed a bunch of people. And that made him wonder… Why was he traveling with those two?
And just what were the objectives of this group of misfits?
Hopefully, he would get these answers relatively soon but for now, he had to talk his way out of this demon's clutches.
"Okay, okay. I won't call you that." For now… Lavi could feel himself starting smirk so he quickly put on a scared and desperate face to hide his glee.
Kanda let him go with yet another shove and stalked off to who-knows-where.
Lavi brushed himself off and started thinking about all the things that could end with a demon hating his own name. Without knowing it, his eyes turn cold and calculative like the actual person he was rather then 'Lavi'.
He was so caught up in his thoughts that he didn't notice Allen's eyes narrowing and Lenalee looking lost at both of her partner's reactions.
"Hey! Allen!" Lavi was trying to wake up the white-haired ghost. It was surprisingly hard. Allhe could do was yell and shout because he couldn't shake him awake as his hands would just go through him. "All-en! Wake up!"
Allen woke up with a groan, "what?"
"It's time to eat!"
"…you realize I'm a ghost."
"Well, yeah. It's sort of hard to forget when you're practically translucent."
"Just making sure."
"Though doesn't that mean that you don't need to sleep?"
"I don't have to sleep but I like to."
"Ah."
Lavi left the makeshift the tent they had set up last night and waited for Allen to come out. He felt sweat drip down his face and couldn't help but think that it was too hot here.
Lenalee walked by and sat next to him. She wasn't sure why but she wanted to be by someone who was human just like her. Sure, she was a witch so technically she wasn't human. Despite that she had human feelings and being with Allen and Kanda had made her miss the people who ate, and who felt.
Witches were in-between the 'non-humans' and the 'humans' causing them to move around often and she hadn't wanted to hold back her brother who was a renowned human scientist.
"Hey, you've been here for two weeks right?"
Lenalee nodded distantly before snapping out of it and saying, "Yeah, why?"
"Just wondering. Hey, you're a witch a right? Can you make them turn into frogs?"
"Yeah, I could if Kanda hadn't taken the goblins I had." She pouted as she remembered the cruel fate that had befallen her goblins. They hadn't even been put to use.
"Do you think he still has them?" Lavi asked with a smile that made her want to start scheming all over again.
"Probably. Why, do you know how to get them back?" She questioned, feeling her "witchy" side coming out.
"I have an idea…"
Allen, of course, decided to step out of his tent that moment so Lenalee never got to hear it. She instead saw it in action while they were marching across the never ending stretch of sand.
"Hey, Kanda! I heard that you took Lena-lady's goblins and couldn't help but think that it wasn't very nice." Lavi said looking at Kanda.
"She was going to make a potion out of it." Came the response.
"Well, if Lenalee promises not to make a potion, will you let her get them back? They are quite rare to catch." Lavi reasoned.
"If she promises."
"I promise!" Lenalee promised while internally adding 'not' to the statement.
"Che." Kanda got out the bag making sure not to breathe. The smell was still haunting him.
Lavi snatched it up and handed it to Lenalee with a mischievous look and she returned the look.
She knew there was a reason she had been glad when they had accepted the scribe into their little group. With him there were so many more possibilities, she could do curses, potions, spells…
Wow, Lenalee, who knew you were so evil?
