Chapter 5 - Family Games
"I can't believe it…" was all Allen said after they separated from Kanda, Tyki and Kuu. He was still in shock, finding out that Kanda had a daughter. He had a freaking daughter. Now his chances with him were shot to hell.
"Allen, stop overreacting," Lavi rolled his eyes. Sure his beloved Yuu-sensei just admitted to having a daughter but he wouldn't blow things out of proportion. There must be a rational reason as to explain Kuu. 'Yeah, he knocked up some girl.' He scoffed at his thoughts. Yuu-sensei wasn't like that. "Remember Kuu called sensei mommy. No child would call their dad a mom unless…"
A similar thought entered both their minds and a blush crossed their cheeks as they imagined Kanda with a baby bump. If Kuu was calling Kanda 'mommy' did that mean he somehow got pregnant with Kuu? Just as they thought they a wave of anger and jealously flooded their minds. If that was true they would kill the bastard who got him pregnant in the first place.
"Could it be Lavi? That Kanda-sensei is Kuu's biological mother?" Allen was considering this as a possibility, no matter how out of this world it sounded. He wouldn't mind if Kanda could have babies. Hell he would welcome the strange ability with open arms. If Kanda could have babies then he would bear a child for him. Just the thought of having a family with Kanda had him tingling with excitement. He started to imagine a bunch of different scenarios with him as a dad and Kanda having a boat load of kids.
"Well honestly, I don't know but I think…eh Allen?" Lavi he waved his hands across Allen's face. He didn't like the creepy look in his eyes. "Oi, Earth to Allen! Dude, are you even conscious?" When Allen didn't respond he reached out and grabbed his cheeks, pulling them. "Oi, Allen!"
Allen was snapped out of his wonderful daydream by a sharp pull of his cheeks. He tried to tell Lavi to let go but it only managed to sound like a bunch of gargled gibberish. Quickly, he grabbed at Lavi's hands and yanked them back, .saving his cheeks from being stretched out too much.
"The hell Lavi?" he groaned, rubbing his bruised cheeks. They burned even more due to the scrapes on his face.
"Lost ya there for more than a minute dude," Lavi replied in his defense. "I was trying ta snap ya back to this world 'cause ya sure looked far gone."
Allen was still rubbing his cheeks. "I'm fine," his mind trailed back to his day dream. That was something he wouldn't mind making a reality. He looked down at his watch, noticing that lunch was up. "The bell is about to ring, and we have English next followed by Japanese."
"Ah two back to back hours with Yuu-sensei," Lavi was starry eyed. "My favorite time of the day~"
A smile was Allen's reply and the two head down the halls towards their homeroom.
~oOo~ooo~oOo~ooo~oOo~
Kuu ginned, smiling brightly as she ran towards Allen. "Allen!" she yelled as she wrapped her hands around his legs. Her pink eyes sparkled with childish glee. She released him and ran to hug Lavi. "Lavi!"
Allen stooped down and ran his hand through her soft pink hair. "You're staying with Kanda-sensei today?"
"Un!" Kuu grinned and then took both their hands in hers, swinging them from side to side. "Mommy said I can 'cause if I'm by myself I'll get lost again." She pouted and it was a cute sight.
Lavi was tempted to pinch her cheeks at how cute Kuu looked. The Gothic Lolita outfit she wore just made her even cuter.
"Kuu," Kanda was at the front of the class, watching the three. He didn't know whether he should approve of letting Kuu get attached to those two but he let it pass. They did find his daughter for him after all. "Its class time come here."
"Okay!" Kuu released Allen's and Lavi's hand, running over to Kanda. She wrapped her hands around Kanda's right leg, pulling on his pants. "Ne ne kaa-chan, pencil and paper!"
Kanda took out the articles she asked for from his desk and handed it to her. He smiled as Kuu squealed and took them, running to the corner where Kanda set up a small area with her toys. She immediately got to work, drawing various things on the note pad Kanda gave her. He watched her content, feeling a sense of relief to have his daughter was back with him again.
Allen and Lavi watched with awe as Kanda's expression soften when he watched his daughter. One thing was obvious: Kanda really loved his daughter.
"Sensei," someone raised his hand and Kanda turned to acknowledge that person. "I don't mean to pry…but who is that little girl?"
Kanda was back to his 'sensei' mode. The smile left his face and his brow creased. "She is my daughter," a loud murmur of voices erupted in the class. Everyone was shocked to hear that Kanda-sensei had a daughter. Allen and Lavi felt smug knowing that they already knew that piece of information. "She can't speak Japanese well but she can understand it perfectly. Her native tongue is English so talking with her would be a good practice for you all who're failing the basics."
That piece of information however got Allen's attention. Not the part about speaking with Kuu would help with the basics but the part about her not being able to speak Japanese. How can Kuu not speak Japanese? She was Kanda's daughter, meaning she must have been born in Japan. Did that mean that Kuu was born elsewhere and probably lived there? And only visited Kanda at times? So did Kuu's mother - or other father (he wasn't completely ruling out that possibility) - kept her? He wanted to know, but at the moment it wasn't the time to ask. After class was over he would corner his sensei and question him. Then he would find out all he wanted to know.
~oOo~ooo~oOo~ooo~oOo~
English class went on without much of a problem and pretty soon after they had Japanese class. Everyone seemed to adore Kuu but she only paid attention to Allen and Lavi as they were her favorites. She would sometimes interrupt the class and Kanda would scold her but not harshly. He was too soft on her.
"Mommy!" Kuu just finished drawing something and ran up to Kanda who was in the middle of reading a passage. "Look at this!" She showed her art to her 'mommy.' When Kanda looked at her sternly she visually deflated and hung her head low. "Sorry…"
Kanda gave a small smile. "It's well done Kuu," he praised and Kuu raised her head. She blushed. "But you can't interrupt me again ok Kuu. I'm bust teaching these bunch of idiots."
Kuu nodded vigorously, but then a sudden thought came to her and she looked up at Kanda with big innocent pink eyes. "Are Allen and Lavi idiots too?"
"Yes they're even bigger idiots than everyone. So if you interrupt every minute they won't learn anything," Kanda smirked when he saw that Allen and Lavi were looking at him with wide eyes. "You want them to learn right?"
"Yup! I want them to be smarter so I won't interrupt again, promise," Kuu stuck out her pinky finger. "Cross my heart."
Kanda clasped his pinky finger around hers. "Good," he patted her on her head and she hurried back to her corner with her drawing.
Allen thought the interaction was cute, despite the fact that Kanda had practically called him a complete idiot and Kuu believed that he was. Class was ending soon and then afterwards he would be Geography with Lulu Bell-sensei and then school would be over. He couldn't wait. Kanda had a senior class when he had Geography so he was definitely going to corner him after that, before homeroom.
The bell rang and after assigning the class a shit load of homework Kanda allowed everyone to leave. Everyone started to file out but a few of the others - mostly girls - stayed behind to talk to Kuu. They giggled and squealed when Kuu said something to them, going on an on about how positively cute she was. Kuu seemed as if she loved the attention.
"Wow, they got her surrounded," Lavi said with a whistle. "I wanted to give her a goodbye hug but I might end up at the bottom of some of these girl's heels before reaching Kuu."
"I know what you mean," Allen replied. He picked up his books and got up. "I guess we just have to try again at homeroom."
Lavi nodded and the two turned to leave. Kuu looked up and saw that they were leaving. A frown crossed her face.
"Allen! Lavi!" she pushed past the girls surrounding her and ran up to the two. "Where're you going?"
"Ah Kuu, we're going to our next class," Allen replied. He stooped down to brush a strand of pink hair from Kuu's face. "We'll see you again after our class ok."
Instead of replying Kuu turned to face Kanda. "Mommy can I go with Allen and Lavi to their class?"
Kanda was about to say yes without thinking but what Kuu asked settled I his mind. There was no way he was leaving his six year old daughter with those two brats. So his answer was a swift and efficient:
"No."
"But!" Kuu looked ready to let loose some waterworks and Kanda sighed.
"It's alright with us Kanda-sensei. Don't worry we'll look after Kuu," Allen offered with a smile.
"You idiots do realize that you're at school right, and not a daycare," Kanda replied. He knew he should have left Kuu at a babysitter but she didn't want to be separated from him after just coming back to Japan. Also she wouldn't start school until next week so for the rest of the week she would have to come with him.
"Yeah sensei," Lavi replied. "We have Geography next and Lulu Bell-sensei isn't here. Besides you have a senior class to teach so wouldn't it be better if you left Kuu to us?"
It was more logical but he didn't want to impose on the brats. God forbid if he had to owe them one.
"Look I'm perfectly capable of…" his voice trailed off when he looked down, seeing Kuu's big pink puppy eyes. He internally cursed. His daughter was just too cute. "Ok, ok, but I expect you two to take really good care of her or else."
Kuu jumped up and down cheering. She ran to Kanda and hugged his legs and then ran back to Allen and Lavi, still smiling happily.
"Yeah we will," Allen replied. "Leave her to us."
Kanda was still skeptical but he relented. Somehow he didn't feel as anxious about leaving Kuu with Allen. He blushed when he realized this and quickly hurried to his next class. The moyashi was a snot nosed brat himself, there's no way he could be a parent. But why the hell was his mind lingering on that possibility?
He shook his head in disbelief as he headed down to his next class. "I must be going crazy."
~oOo~ooo~oOo~ooo~oOo~
"Look at what we have here," Tyki's golden eyes seemed to brighten when they landed on Lavi. He exhaled a puff from his cigarette. "What a pleasant surprise."
"Uncle Tyki!" Kuu ran over to the curly haired man. She coughed as she got closer, fanning the light blanket of smoke from before her. "Gah Smoke!"
Tyki tossed his half finished cigarette on the ground and crushed it under his heel. Kanda would kill him if he heard that he exposed his daughter to second hand smoke. He fanned away the smoke surrounding him and popped a mint in his mouth.
"Kuu, sweetie, why are you this far away from Yuu?" he stooped down to Kuu's level. "I know for a fact he would never let you out of his sight."
A smile crossed Kuu's face. "Mommy said I can stay with Allen and Lavi until class is over."
"Oh is that so," Tyki looked up at the two boys. Allen was glaring at him, which was expected and Lavi was avoiding his gaze. He also noticed how Lavi was a few feet away from him. "Looks like Yuu's getting soft huh?"
Kuu shook here head with a pout. "Nuh uh uncle Tyki, mommy's still really strict."
A goofy grin crossed Tyki's face and he patted Kuu's head. "Ah so cute, but Kuu I told you that calling me daddy is just fine. It's okay for you to call me that."
If possible Kuu's pout deepened. "No way, uncle is uncle."
Tyki lowered his head in mock hurt and Kuu patted his head because she thought he was crying. She tried everything she could think of to cheer her uncle up. When he didn't make any reaction she leaned closer to hug him. Tyki instantly grabbed her and hoisted her in the air.
"Woaaaaaaaaah~" Kuu cheered and giggled as Tyki lift her to his shoulders and spun her around.
Allen and Lavi watched as Tyki spun Kuu around and around until she was completely dizzy and probably seeing doubles. Tyki took her off his shoulders and held her in his arms bridal style. He looked down at her, thinking how fast time had gone by. Six years had already passed since Kanda had - well found - Kuu. He remembered holding her as a baby just like how he held her now. Ah he missed those days. Kuu was growing up too fast.
"You were so cute as a baby," he rocked her in his arms. To Allen and Lavi he looked like a loving parent.
Allen didn't like that imagery that he had of Tyki. He walked over to the Drama teacher with a slight frown on his face. He couldn't wait until he cornered Kanda; he wanted to know right now.
"Mykk-sensei," he tapped him on his shoulder.
Tyki stopped rocking Kuu who seemed to be on her way to dreamland and turned to face Allen, looking down at him. A vein throbbed on Allen's temple when Tyki looked down at him. As if the damn pervert was making it obvious that he was the taller one. Sure Kanda-sensei was a bit taller than him too, just a bit and Tyki was even taller than Kanda. But that didn't deter him as he was a growing boy. In no time he would catch up to Tyki, just give him a few months.
"Ah Allen Walker," Tyki smirked. "What may I help you with today?"
Allen rolled his eyes. "I want answers."
Tyki whistled. "Really now?" he adjusted Kuu in his arms. "And what is it that you want answers to, shounen?"
"I want to know about Kuu," Allen said the first thing that came to his mind. He wanted to know who Kuu's other parent was.
Lavi took it as his cue to drop in. He pulled Allen back and whispered in his ear. "Dude what are you doing?" He was curious too but he didn't want to pry, especially not behind sensei's back.
"I want to know and Mykk-sensei seems to know something," Allen whispered back. Couldn't Lavi see it? He just had to know or else he'll be dwelling on it forever.
Tyki chuckled as he rocked a sleepy Kuu in his hands. "I guess you're right about that," Tyki replied as he heard what Allen whispered to Lavi. "I do know a lot about Yuu. I've been with him since junior high."
Allen knew what that meant. The two of them had some major history. 'Well this sucks.' He crossed his hands at his chest with a frown on his face. Tyki could definitely answer his questions but he wasn't sure if he wanted him to.
"So tell me," he prodded. "Since you know sensei for such a long time you've got all the answers right?"
"Maybe," Tyki shrugged. A smirk crossed his lips. "But I'm sure you've got some kind of guess. I mean Kuu does call Yuu by what he is to her."
Allen and Lavi's eyes widened a large fraction at what Tyki said. Were their theories real? Was Kanda able to give birth to babies?
"You mean…" Allen gulped. He was letting it all sink in. "Kanda-sensei gave birth to Kuu?"
Allen was anxious for the reply but instead Tyki burst out laughing. He and Lavi blinked a bit confused as to why he would be laughing at a time like this. They wanted an answer!
When the laughter finally died down Tyki shook his head. "If Yuu was able to give birth we'd have tons of kids by now due to how much I come inside him," he smirked at the two. "He'd probably get knocked up every nine months at the rate we fu-…uh do it." He caught himself be fore he cursed in front of Kuu.
Red flooded Allen's vision. He did not want to hear that. But Tyki's smirk only widened when he saw how upset he was.
"No, Yuu isn't Kuu's mother. But he's not her biological father either," Tyki replied, looking down at the sleeping figure in his hands. He smiled when she mumbled something in her sleep. "He's-"
"Oi Tyki," Kanda came up behind them. He had a frown on his face. "Why is any of that their business?"
"Ah Yuu," Tyki's smile widened when he saw the English/Japanese teacher. "I was just giving the kids here a peek into the life of the person they're in love with."
Kanda rolled his eyes and walked up to take Kuu from Tyki.
"Sensei, why are you here?" Allen asked. It wasn't time for homeroom so he should still be teaching the senior class that he had.
"I got worried so I left the class on self study," Kanda replied as he adjusted Kuu in his arms. He turned to leave. "Thanks for keeping Kuu's company."
"Sensei wait!" Allen ran up to Kanda and stopped right in front of him, preventing him from leaving. "Why won't you tell me anything about you?" He looked up at Kanda with pleading gray eyes. "I really want to know more about you sensei because I really love you." He reached out to touch Kanda's cheek. "I want to be the one you can depend on for help. Please sensei-"
Kanda slapped his free hand over Allen's mouth. His eyes twitched viciously and he wanted to yank the moyashi's lips off his face, hoping that would shut him up. How can he be sprouting such embarrassing crap?
"Shut up," his hand tightened on Allen's mouth. "You want me an adult to depend on a kid like you? Don't make me laugh." Allen attempted to something but Kanda's grip only tightened. "Didn't I tell you to shut up? Stop acting like you're older than your age you brat."
Allen managed to yank Kanda's hand off his face. "Stop treating me like a kid sensei," he eyes burned with determination. "My feelings for you are not just some silly crush. I love you. I'm in love with you Kanda."
Kanda resisted the urge to face palm. This brat was giving him a fucking migraine. Tyki and Lavi though were quiet throughout the entire exchange. Lavi was shocked at the extent of Allen's feelings. He knew he loved Kanda-sensei just as much but somehow he felt as if Allen's feelings outshone his own.
"Allen loves mommy?"
Everyone's attention was focused on Kuu who had just woken up. She looked up at Kanda and then turned to Allen. Her pink eyes seemed to light up.
Kanda tried to get his daughter's mind off such a ridiculous option but Allen gone ahead and confirm it.
"Yes Kuu," Allen replied with a small smile. "I love your mommy."
If possible Kuu's eyes brightened even more. She leaped from Kanda's hand to Allen's. "Yay! I have a new daddy!"
Allen landed on his back with Kuu sitting on top of him. She hugged him and cheered happily.
"Daddy!" she nuzzled her cheeks in his chest, looking content.
Allen smiled happily but Kanda looked…mortified. He didn't know why but Kuu was easily adapting to Allen. How could she be? Allen was practically a complete stranger to her. But the way she acted was like how she would act around Alma…just thinking that had his heart clenching painfully.
"Kuu come here," he didn't want to watch the interaction anymore. It reminded him too much of how it used to be in the past. How happy they were. Just him, Kuu and Alma. "There's something I need to check on."
Kuu looked up, staring at Kanda with bright pink eyes. But then a small frown crossed her face. She could tell something was bothering her mommy.
"Mommy," she got off Allen and walked over to him, holding his pant leg. "Are you hurt somewhere?" She remembered seeing the same sad expression on his face when her first daddy left.
Kanda shook his head and picked up his baby girl. "No, I'm fine."
"You still can't forget Alma huh?" Tyki asked. He walked up to Kanda, placing his hand on his shoulder. "It's been a year now Yuu."
A glare was Kanda's only response and he walked off with Kuu in his hands. The door to the roof slammed shut with a low bang. Tyki sighed and ran his hand through his curly raven hair. Kanda was still hung up on Alma.
"Before you two start asking me questions, Alma is Kanda's ex but in a way he isn't. Those two had a complicated relationship," Tyki said, turning to face the two. "He died last year." He shrugged and then added the ending as if it was an addition. "He's Kuu's father."
"You're not Kanda-sensei's lover?" Allen asked, tying to digest the new information.
"Used to be, but he broke it off with me after he found out we were cousins," Tyki replied in all honesty.
Allen and Lavi nodded seeming to understand and the suddenly their eyes widened. "Cousin?" They were shocked to find out that those two were related.
"It's that shocking?" Tyki just shrugged. "I don't know if I should tell you this but, I might as well. Alma wasn't Kuu biological father either. Back when they started collage Alma was forced to leave Yuu for a girl who claimed to be pregnant for him. But just as Kuu was born she ran off with the real father, leaving Alma with a child that wasn't his. He begged Yuu to take him back which he did. I could tell from watching them Yuu really loved Alma. Well they lived as a family in San Francisco until last year when Alma died in a traffic accident. Yuu was devastated. I've never seen him so messed up." He closed his eyes. "Dad offered him a job here and he came back to Japan to sort his life out, but Kuu had to stay in San Francisco until the state deemed him mentally capable to care for her." He opened his eyes and looked upwards.
Allen was speechless. He didn't know that Kanda had been through so much. 'Sensei is really strong.' He thought, for him to endure all of that it took a certain level of strength and courage. His fists were clenched at his side. He had to make Kanda-sensei see it. That he could make him happy.
"Allen-" before Lavi could continued what he was about to say Allen ran off. He gave a sigh, knowing where Allen was running off to. "Well looks like he's got a head start." He watched as Allen disappeared through the door and his shoulders slumped.
Tyki smiled a bit at Lavi's attitude. He knew the redhead wanted to go after the raven haired man to comfort him. It was written all over his face but he was resisting the urge because he was probably thinking that Allen would comfort him better. He walked over to Lavi and rested his hands of his fiery mane.
"You're giving up already?" he asked as he ruffled his hair. "That's not the Lavi I know."
Lavi didn't shrug Tyki's hand off. "That's rich coming from the guy who lied about being Yuu-sensei's lover. I thought you are in love with me? So why are you persuading me to go after another man?"
"I do love you but I want you to be happy," Tyki said as he removed his hand, walking off, "even if it's not with me." He stopped a few paces in front of Lavi and turned to face him. "So if chasing after Yuu makes you happy. Go ahead."
The wind seemed to pick up. It threaded through Lavi's hair, caressing his crimson spikes gently. His heart beat sped up and a coat of blush rivaling his hair colour spread across his cheeks. He couldn't believe he was reacting that way to what his perverted sensei said. 'No I can't be drawn in.' He willed his legs to move and ran past Tyki, hurrying out the door.
Tyki watched Lavi leave. He followed after him with a small smile on his face.
