Dealing with little Yu

Chapter 1

Another mission… with him! Hell is more pleasant place than the situation in which Allen Walker found himself. Komui sent him and Kanda of all the people on a mission. The only thing which was good in that, it supposed to be a fast and easy job. They didn't even have to travel too far thankfully. When they finally arrived at the town where they were sent, Allen was the first to escape from the tense atmosphere of the train cub. Kanda walked slowly after him with a scowl on his face.

Hurry up! Hurry up! Hurry up! Was on the younger exorcist's mind as he ran from an inhabitant to another one asking questions. Step by step they were lead out of the town. Soon they were walking in the forest, slowly approaching the hills. Kanda went at the front, while Allen stayed behind a little. They weren't surprised, when the Akumas suddenly attacked. In addition, they were just waiting for it. While Kanda fought without any emotion, Allen tried to conduct his stress while giving salvation to the poor souls trapped in those machines, but the battle was over quickly.

Kanda raised his head while he narrowed his eyes.

"The Innocence is near" he said quietly.

"How would you know?" Allen asked mumbling. Kanda gave him a glare and a "che" then continued his journey towards the Innocence. After an hour and two other fights with the Akumas, they spotted a light between the trees.

"And you said it was near!" Allen noted sarcastically referring at the hour which had passed since the older male's statement.

"Shut up, Moyashi!" Kanda hissed and walked towards the light. Soon they could see the Innocence levitating in the middle of a clear.

"I have a name, you know…" Allen said not paying attention to the Innocence anymore. Kanda is perfectly able to collect one without any assistant, right? So he continued his monologue "… why is it so difficult to say Allen?" at the same time Kanda reached out for the Innocence crouching down a little. His fingers slowly wrapped around it…

"So try to say it! It's not that difficult! Allen. A-L-L-E-N! A…he was cut off by a sharp light which enveloped the long haired exorcist, and blinded the other one.

"Kanda!" Allen shouted when his sight came back. He spun towards where his mate supposed to stand and frozen in shock.

"Oh my God!" Allen gasped. Kanda was nowhere to be seen, but where he stood a minute ago a little child was sitting in a mini-exorcist coat, with long raven hair and large dark blue eyes. In his little hands was the Innocence which he was giggling at. Allen quickly shook his head, but the shock remained. Slowly he walked closer to the child and crouched down in front of him still staring with wide eyes.

"Kanda? Is that you?" he asked in disbelief. The little one looked up curiously then smiled a huge smile.

"Daddy!" he cried cheerfully.

"No way!" Allen shouted jumping backwards. The lil' child flinched at the harsh tone and huge crocodile started to appear in his eyes. Realizing his mistake Allen quickly crawled back to the child outstretching one of his arms.

"No! No! No! Don't cry! I didn't mean it like that! I'm just not you Daddy!" he explained rapidly. Still sniffing the girlish looking boy stared at him.

"Not Daddy?" he asked with a small voice. Allen shook his head in negative. Suddenly the boy's face lit up. "Mommy!" Allen was shocked. He needed few minutes to recover.

"I-I'm not Mommy..." he groaned after a while. The little kid stared at him with his huge eyes.

"Not Mommy?" Allen immediately shook his head. The boy spun around sharply and showed his back to the exorcist. Allen blinked confused.

"Erm… What's the matter?" he asked. The kid remained silent and didn't turn back. He continued to play with the Innocence.

"Hey?" Allen called hesitantly and touched the kid's shoulder. The lil' one spun around angrily.

"Not talk with stwangews!" he said seriously and turned his back at the other one again. Allen started to run out of ideas.

"I'm not a stranger!" he said weakly.

"You awe! You not Mommy and not Daddy, so you awe a stwangew!" came the answer.

"I'm your friend, Kanda!" Allen smiled hoping that the little version couldn't use Mugen.

"If you awe my Fwiend, than why do you call me Kanda? Use my fiwst name if I'm fwiend!" Little Kanda said with a frown which was so cute on his childish face. Allen smiled at him kindly.

"Okay, Yu!" Little Kanda forgot his anger immediately and started giggling again, still playing with the Innocence. Allen called for Tim quickly.

"So this is a golem!" He said cheerfully. Kanda looked at the golden thing levitating above him with huge eyes. "Do you want to play with it?" Allen tried hoping. Yu nodded eagerly and reached for Tim.

"Before you do that, you have to feed him!"

"With what?" Yu asked still staring at the golem.

"With that thing in your hand! Give it to him and he'll play with you!" Yu looked up at Tim then at the Shining thing in his hand, after a while he slowly offered the Innocence to the Golem which swallowed it quickly. Allen sighed with relief than picked Yu up.

"Whewe Awe we going?" Kanda asked while he captured poor Tim and held it by its tail.

"We are going home!" Allen grinned nervously.

An hour later the telephone in Komui's office started to ring. The chief picked it up quickly and happily, 'cause he had a reason again for stop working.

"Halo?" he said cheerfully.

"Komui, it's me!"

"Allen? How are you? How is your mission with Kanda?"

"Erm… We got the Innocence, but…"

"But?"

"We have a problem…"

"What kind of a problem?" Komui asked suspiciously. In the same time Allen looked at the bed of the inn where they stayed for the night and met with two huge dark-blue eyes.

"Erm… a maybe three years old problem?"
