Prologue: Blind Rage
Some say that Kanda was too impetuous.
Darkness. Once seeded within you, will grow and grow... stretching out it grasping tendrils to untainted places... until it overwhelms your sanity.
"This is nonsense!" Kanda roared in outrage, his trembling hands were wrapped tightly around a deathly black katana which he sought comfort from. "Are you insinuating that he is one of them!?"
"His actions speak for himself," Inspector Leverier stated bluntly, his cold impassionate gaze boring into Kanda's fierce angered one. A glaring match between a snake and a cat.
Kanda's mind was whirling in disbelief. He had seen it all, seen it with his own pair of eyes, but he refused to believe that it had really happened.
It was all Leverier's fault! Baka Moyashi wouldn't have… couldn't have… i-it was… it was Leverier!
As he could not come up with a viable explanation to why what he saw wasn't true, Kanda could only channel his unexplained thoughts to those of anger and hatred, to the mustachioed cold-hearted beast before him.
It was this man who caused all of it to happen, Kanda told his mind, feeding it with blatant lies. Moyashi hasn't done anything wrong! It was all this man's fault! Yes! It's Leverier's fault! Kanda felt better, because he had just taken a step away from the hurtful truth. His mind, however, was not so merciful.
But why…? His mind questioned him. What wrong has this man done?
Kanda could find no answer to that question, for it was a lie that he had weaved out of his emotions himself. And it hurt him so that he could not answer it. That he could not convince his mind to disbelieve what he had seen. Because it only drew him closer to the truth. The truth that hurts so much.
He shook with rage.
It's just his fault, damn it! It's just his fault and that's that! He held that notion firm, because it made him feel better that he need not answer the question he dreaded so. It gave him a reason to disbelieve what he had witnessed.
He could avoid the painful truth.
It's Leverier's fault! He screamed inwardly and raised Mugen, eyes blinded from the truth with rage. The Inspector's eyes widened.
"How dare you raise your weapon at me! Drop it, now!" Leverier snapped at the maddened exorcist, even though fear was clearly evident amidst his harsh sharp tone. Kanda's eyes narrowed. Unrestrained anger roared inside him.
As if he was going to listen to this poor excuse of an Inspector!
Especially if he had hurt Moyashi!
"It's all your fault!" Kanda roared and brought Mugen down forcefully, its blade filled with all the hate and resentment that had built up inside of him. Leverier's eyes widened further, stricken with terror.
Just as Kanda was about to eradicate one hated man from the face of the earth, Komui stepped in, barring the path of the sword from the man's chest.
"Move away," Kanda growled through clenched teeth.
"Kanda," Komui gripped his shoulders firmly and looked at the blue haired exorcist straight in the eyes, pupils unwavering. Kanda thought he saw emotions stir in Komui's eyes. Was that sadness he saw? Or was it pity?
"You know the truth Kanda. Don't try to run away from it. I know it's painful, but you must accept it. You saw it with your own eyes. Allen did it himself."
"No! He did NOT!" he screamed and pushed Komui aside. Then, he swung his blade at the Inspector once more.
This time, the Inspector stood his ground and looked on smugly at the enraged samurai. He had no need to fear, for Lavi had stepped up. A clank was heard as metal met metal, one in the form of a hammer.
"Yuu… please… stop…" Lavi begged through ragged breaths from the exertion of Kanda's strength.
"GO AWAY!" Kanda roared and tried to sidestep the redhead, only to be deterred from his course by Lenalee.
"Kanda! Stop it! Please!" Lenalee cried, tears streaming down her face that was contorted with pain.
Kanda was at a loss at what to do. Madness raged and roared in his mind. The pain was so unbearable. Why couldn't they just let the stupid beast die!? Why couldn't they just let him kill the damn Inspector and get it done and over with!He was the one who had hurt Moyashi, he was the one who had caused Moyashi to be in the state that he was in, and Kanda would kill him for that!
But he... he couldn't... because he was being restrained by them - Exorcists that were supposed to be Allen's friends. Didn't they care for him...? Why? Why!? Those two had always been so close to Moyashi, so why won't they let him defend Allen!?
"ARGH!" Kanda screamed in frustration at his helplessness.
"Kanda! Stop struggling!"
"LET ME GO!"
There's no point in denying the truth, Kanda… he did it himself… you saw with your very eyes… the voice in his head whispered tauntingly.
"NO! HE DID NOT! IT'S ALL LEVERIER'S FAULT!" He thrashed further in the grip of the other exorcists. Leverier gave him a disapproving glare.
"He has lost control and is a threat to all of us here." Leverier sneered with a condescending smirk. "Men! Restrain his limbs and Innocence!"
"IT'S LEVERIER'S FAULT! IT'S THAT DAMN INSPECTOR'S FAULT! MOYASHI IS INNOCENT!" Kanda roared as cloaked men placed restraining charms that bound heavily to his arms, legs and sword.
"Oh, is that so?" Leverier drawled, watching him with contempt. "What proof do you have that Mr. Walker is not guilty of murder? Does not the blood on his gloves prove him guilty? After all, the act of bloodshed is intrinsic of a Noah."
"No…" Kanda whispered weakly. Suddenly, he felt extremely weary, as if his strength to fight for Allen had just decided to leave him. He could not hold it back much longer. He could not continue running away from the truth, and therein lies his grief. He finally gave in, and the heavy weight of the truth crushed the air out of his lungs. His eyelids drooped.
The last thing he saw through his hooded eyes were the worried and sorrowful faces of Lavi and Lenalee, filled with pain and empathy.
"Baka..."
Then everything went black.
Some say that Kanda was too concerned over a certain white-haired boy...
Well, I hope you've enjoyed the Prologue! It's dedicated to our anti-social swordsman, Kanda! It's not a Chapter, just a prologue. I've already decided to make this a 13 Chapters fic, so this isn't counted! :)
Sorry if my description of Leverier/Rouvelier got a bit OOC, but I really don't like his character so... Oh, and can someone enlighten me to whether the Inspector's name is Leverier or Rouvelier? I'm a bit confused and also irritated by my ignorance.
Anyways, please review! I'll really appreciate it even though this is only a prologue! :D
