Default - Chapter 2
Disclaimer: -Man doesn’t belong to me *sigh*
A/N: Um here’s the next chapter!! Thank you all for commenting but sorry it will still be an Allen seme Kanda uke type of fic!! I tried to explain why so here:
ATTENTION PLEASE READ:
Let me point out I didn’t make Kanda uke because he has really long hair (just to make that clear I’m not that superficial I like seeing long hair semes and short hair ukes at times). I made him uke…to be honest with you all I heard about -Man when it came out a long time ago (well October 6, 2006 actually) but I never once checked it out, I wanted to but my anime list was way too long (blame me for watching too much anime at once hehehe) but then I when I was searching for a couple Naruto doujinshis and came up on (a doujinshi heaven on the internet next to forums that is) I saw that they had a bunch of -Man doujinshis so I checked them out.
The minute I saw them I was hooked and yes they were all seme Allen and uke Kanda or seme Lavi and uke Kanda so that kinda drove me to skip some of my still unfinished long list of animes to watch -Man. So basically because of that pairing I wanted to see the anime to check out how they really react to each another and I loved it of course but that’s not the point. I got into -Man by that pairing and I’m gonna stick to it, besides yaoi is getting really uninteresting with the regular girly looking submissive uke (seriously no one should be that passive with having a possibly huge dick shoved up their ass) and the really manly (not that semes shouldn’t be manly) dominant (too dominant) seme, I mean look at Kyou Kara Maou Wolfram has the personality of a seme and I like no love to see him as uke and Yuuri is a literal wimp (when he’s not in maou mode) and he’s my perfect (in a way) seme (my perfect seme is Sasuke Uchiha hehe).
I really like to see some variations between seme uke personalities because there are different types of ukes and semes out there (I know that thanks to Genshiken season 2 hehehe). Also I have to admit it can go either way with Allen and Kanda but I mostly like seeing Allen as seme and Kanda as uke that just me (I don’t think Kanda would be a pedophile though nor would he go after Allen, Allen has to make the first move). Everyone has their own tastes it’s just that my tastes are weird at times (most time actually hehehe).
I hope this explains why its still gonna be an AreKan fanfic to you all. If you don’t like the pairing well…that can’t be helped I guess.
Either way I hope you’ll enjoy it!

Chapter 2 - The Five Royalties
“Kuu for the love of god shut the hell up!!!!” Kanda’s voice roared over the loud wailing of his, er daughter who still has yet to stop crying. He squeezed his hand against his ears hoping that it would lessen that goddamned noise.
She has been crying for thirty minutes straight not even braking to take in some air. Allen had already passed out in the initial ten minutes and was now unconscious drooling on Komui’s elegant purple rug.
“Kuu I swear that I will spank you if you do not shut up now!!” Kanda threatened.
Kuu seemed to be ignoring Kanda’s threats as she never faltered. She continued crying not bothering to think about the consequences, her logic was the more she cried the quicker she’d get her mommy to accept her daddy simple like that. So for the sake of that she continued crying.
Kanda swore his ears were bleeding and was sure he couldn’t take much of this torment so he will discipline her if he has to. She was getting too spoilt anyway.
“Kuu this is your last warning” Kanda warned.
Kuu ignored him.
“That’s it” Kanda made a move to walk towards her but a hand on his shoulder stopped him, he turned to glare at the person who dared to stop him, “Moyashi?” he snorted, “I thought you were unconscious”
“It’s Allen and I was but that’s not the point you are not thinking of spanking Kuu are you?” Allen asked, “She’s just sad that’s all so why don’t you try to understand her sadness a little and tell her that you…” he trailed of when he saw that Kanda wasn’t listening, “Hey are you even listening to me!!”
“No” Kanda said bluntly.
“Why you-” Allen began.
Just then the bell rang interrupting him. Kuu instantly stopped crying. She looked up at Kanda with watery pink eyes. Her face was blotchy and red, while snot ran from her nose mixing with the tears.
“Mommy…I hate you!!!” she yelled running out.
The door slammed shut. The echo sounded throughout the room.
Kanda sighed.
Join the club.
“Kuu wait come back!!” Allen called after her.
He was about to run after her but was stopped by Lavi.
“Let her go she’s at that rebellious stage afta all” he said smiling, “Give her some time she’ll come around, she gets like that a lot when ever she don’t get what she wants”
“So we are just going to let her run off on her own?” Allen asked, “And what about what Kanda said why was he gonna spank her? I mean yeah she’s his child I think but there are many other ways to discipline children”
“Yuu was gonna spank Kuu? Haha where’d ya get that one from?” Lavi chuckled, “Yuu always use that threat to get her to quiet down, he’ll never hit her no matter what. His threats to her are completely hollow but to other people that’s another story”
“Wait he wasn’t going to…well she did say she hates him” Allen mused, “But that’s not my problem!!” he decided.
“You’re heartless for her dad” Lavi said, Allen shivered at the way Lavi said dad it was like…he didn’t want to think about it, “Anyway it seems it time for our year group meeting ya need to go to the school’s auditorium”
“Huh?” Allen asked unintelligently, “Oh! Ah yeah I forgot…school darn it hehehe…so uh Kuu told me that Komui could tell me more about innocence and such”
“Ah yes the new exorcist, this is perfect” Komui assumed, “Ah wonderful!! We needed a new joker now that Daisya has graduated” he smiled.
“Huh? Joker?” Allen asked.
“Wait a min Komui ya aren’t thinking of making him join ‘The Five Royalties’ are ya?” Lavi asked, “I don’t think he’s up to the uh standards”
“Standards?” Allen asked, he was utterly insulted at the way Lavi said standards, it was like he was a manner less oaf, “What do you mean by standards and what is this five royalties?”
“The Five Royalties is a group of elite exorcists but that’s not just it” Komui said, “These exorcists are usually chosen from wealthy families, who can easily bear the burden of the growing expenses from the damages caused fighting akumas”
“Meaning it’s a group for rich kids’ right?” Allen asked, already annoyed. It was one thing when people had money but when they spend it senselessly that’s when he gets annoyed. There are other people out there who would want it if they didn’t know.
“Well you could call it that but in reality the group commands respect from the entire school body. They are seen as leaders and are put in charge of the school at times. There are five titles that can be attained in the group. Queen, Princess, Jack, Ace and Joker you can substitute Jack and Joker for King but no one has be able to attain that title as yet” Komui explained.
“Ah I understand I guess but what does that have to do with innocence?” Allen asked.
“Absolutely nothing” Komui laughed - maniacally I might add - he adjusted his white hat, “I just wanted to tell you about ‘The Five Royalties’ after you did ask. Do you know who The Five Royalties are?”
“I could take a wild guess” Allen mumbled, “But I’d probably get it wrong”
“You won’t know until you try” Komui said, “But to save you from that I’ll tell you. First the Ace is no other than my darling Lenalee !!!” his eyes sparkled as he squeezed Lenalee in a bear hug.
“Brother come on let go” she blushed, embarrassed at her brother’s action.
Komui finally let go when Lenalee stepped on his foot.
“The title of Jack belongs to Lavi” Komui pointed to Lavi who nodded, “Our Princess is the darling and dazzling Kuu”
“What? How is that possible she’s only eight well fourteen but you get what I mean” Allen said, he couldn’t believe that Kuu was a high school student.
“Yes she is trapped in an eight year old body but she’s really smart, smarter than anyone in her age group or yours I might add, I believe she will be in your class Allen”
“What? Kuu’s a freshman?” Allen yelled, well there’s no surprise there he already figured she would be a freshman.
“Yes but lets put that aside for now. The last member is Kanda and his title is…” Komui began; a creepy smile appeared on his face.
“Let me guess King right?” Allen drawled. He was sure that cold bastard was king his personality screamed it not really but that was the closest, he couldn’t be Queen right?
“Nope, wrong my boy Kanda is the Queen didn’t you listen to your cute little daughter when she speaks?” Komui said.
Allen’s face instantly turned pallid. Kanda was…no is queen?
“You’re joking right?”
“Nope I’m serious” Komui replied.
“But…but Kanda he…he’s a guy!!! How can a guy be queen!!” Allen yelled it didn’t make any sense. The so called principal didn’t make any sense, the students didn’t make any sense, this entire school didn’t make any sense!!!
“Finally someone sees logic in this stupid school” Kanda muttered.
Allen jumped at the sound of Kanda’s voice. He didn’t know that the guy was still there. He turned the face him and saw that he was sitting on the couch that was in the center of the room, looking cold and harsh as usual.
“You were still here?” Allen asked, “I thought you went after Kuu”
Kanda just tched and turn his head.
“Yo moyashi don’t worry Yuu’s just giving the princess some time to cool off before he goes to see her” Lavi said with a smile.
“It’s Allen!!” Allen yelled annoyed that another person is calling him that word. What’s up with these people he is jus a few inches shorter than them plus he was still growing he’ll catch them up in no time, “Please don’t call me that”
“Why? Yuu calls you that” Lavi replied.
“Yuu?” Allen asked, he noticed Lavi’s been saying this Yuu name constantly but he was sure that he doesn’t know anyone called Yuu.
“Ah you don’t know Yuu is Kanda’s given name. His name is Yuu Kanda” Lavi replied, he smiled at his luck, he’s been saying Yuu’s name constantly and he hasn’t been hurt…yet, “Hey why don’t you call him that I’m sure it would make his eyes pop out”
“I rather not” Allen replied remembering the pain he went through a few days ago. He shuddered, that was something he wasn’t eager to relive, “I guess I will leave now to go to the auditorium for that uh year group meeting, so I’ll see you all later I guess”
Allen bowed respectfully then turned to leave. The door closed softly.
“No one escapes me so easily…he’ll be back” Komui said his eyes gave a scary glint; suddenly he went into a fit of insane laughter.
Lavi and Lenalee took two steps back from him while Kanda scooted over in his seat. That guy is insane!!! They thought in unison.
“And I thought he was mad before….but this takes da cake” Lavi whispered to Lenalee, “Hey how’d ya manage with a brother like that?”
“I don’t know” Lenalee sighed, she looked at her brother who was laughing like a mad man, “I just manage I guess”
Kanda just snorted, his thoughts confirmed Komui is insane.
Outside Allen looked around. The halls were empty, not a soul was there. A tumbleweed rolled across within his field of vision catching his attention briefly, then just as suddenly as it appeared it vanished. He sighed.
Where am I supposed to go now? He asked himself but that answer was evident. I better go back and ask for directions.
He turned back to the door and walked in. Lavi and Lenalee turned to him. Komui also turned to face him, a creepy smile in place.
“So looks like ya back, what? Lost or sum’ting?” Lavi asked with a smirk.
A blush crossed Allen’s cheeks.
“Well you could say that”
“We’ll show you the way though” Lenalee said with a smile, “We’re heading to the auditorium ourselves so just follow us” she walked up to him, “Didn’t you get a handbook with the map of the school in your package?”
“Well yeah” Allen began his mind wondered to what happened to the poor innocent book.
~Flash back~
“Shishou wait that’s my hand book!!” Allen yelled surpirzed.
“Stupid apprentice it might be bugged I have to check it!” Cross yelled back, he had the book in his hands scrutinizing it as if it was some horrid creature, “I wouldn’t put it pass the order’s science department to try and track me”
He dropped a small peck of alcohol on it then grabbed up his lighter setting it ablaze.
“Shishou!!! Noooo!!!!!”
He released his hold on it and it dropped to the cold tiled floor burning to ashes - just like a normal book would. After it was turned to dust he laughed at how he was acting. Was he even that paranoid before?
“I guess it wasn’t bugged after all” he shrugged, turning to look at the other documents Allen got from Black Order Academy, “I wonder if they would try to bugged the others”
“Shishou? What are you doing? Wait a second those can’t be burnt!! SHISHOU!!!!!”
~Flash back ends~
Allen’s face paled at the memory.
He ended up burning up all the main documents claiming that he did it for a reason! A reason my ass he practically caused me hell to replace those documents…it cost me a hell of a lot and I didn’t even get back the handbook. Baka shishou I can’t wait till I’m eighteen so I can finally move out!! I’ll be free of him!! Free I tell you!!!! Muhahahahaha!!!!
“Allen are ya ok?”
Allen not knowing he was laughing like a psychopath out loud clamp his mouth shut. He turned to look at the people in the room, each of them giving him a worried look except Kanda and Komui. Komui gave him two thumbs up for embracing his ‘insane’ side while Kanda gave him the same look he gives Komui the ‘you-are-crazy’ look. Allen laughed sheepishly while scratching the back of his head in embarrassment.
“Um…I ah well why don’t we just forget that little outburst back there…”
“Yeah…ya sure ya ok?” Lavi asked again, this Allen guy was weird, a little funny but still weird, “Maybe ya spend too much time wit Komui his insaneness must be rubbing off on ya”
“Yes, I’m totally fine and Lenalee about that handbook I kind of lost the one I got” Allen replied, “So is it possible…can it be replaced?”
“Ah sure my brother won’t mind” Lenalee replied, she turned to Komui giving him a cheery smile, “You won’t mind do you brother ?” she asked sweetly.
Komui’s heart bounced from his chest.
“Anything for my darling Lenalee !!!” he crooned, his eyes sparkling.
He searched his draw blindly for a handbook. Piles of paper got thrown everywhere in his haste. Soon the room’s floor was piled up with paper. Hard to believe that little desk held so much of them.
“Found it!!!” Komui’s voice yelled from behind his messy desk, “Here you go my darling Lenalee !!” he handed the book to her.
“Thank you brother” Lenalee said smiling, she took the book and handed it to Allen “There you go Allen”
“Thanks so much” Allen said taking the book, “So are we leaving? I mean we’re late right? That bell rang a long time ago…”
“Well yeah if ya think like that” Lavi said a smirk crossed his lips, “We’re The Five Royalties, well four now but what ev, we can go any time we feel like or we can ditch if we want and don’t get into trouble, plus we have special privileges, you’ll get used to it that is if you join”
“Really?” Allen asked, it’s like the own the school…they disobey the rules too…it might not be too bad joining them…but I’m not rich. I won’t be able to pay up for the akuma damages I guess there’s only one answer, “You guys seem really cool; I would love to join but…”
“The moyashi is poor” Kanda said interrupting him, his eyes never leaving the window he was staring out of, “He’s obviously from the lower class, after all he was working at that resort we went to”
Allen’s face reddened in embarrassment at the bluntly explanation of his situation by that stoic Kanda. The guy wasn’t one to beat around the bush he went straight to the point.
“Is that’s true Allen?” Lenalee asked.
He gulped. He hopes this won’t turn out like that movie he watched, where everyone avoided the ‘poor’ guy and who were his friends before shunned him because they found out he was poor.
“Well…yeah but…” Allen began.
“Don’t bother explaining” Lenalee said interrupting him.
Here it comes…
“It doesn’t matter what ‘class’ or if you’re having money problems we’re still gonna be your friend right Lavi, Kanda?” Lenalee declared; “Besides you’re Kuu daddy, so we’re family now” she smiled.
“Lenalee…” Allen sniffed, “I’m so happy, I thought-”
“I know what ya thought” Lavi interrupted, “But dude we ain’t that shallow, so ya joining or what?”
“Yeah…I guess, yeah sure but weren’t you the one who didn’t want me to join?”
“Haha I was just kiddin ya” Lavi said laughing, “We need a new member and you’re here so how about showing us that innocence o’yours?”
“Yes I want to see that too. Hm that scar on your eye what is it?” Lenalee asked.
“Oh this…it’s um” Allen began, trying to think of a way to explain his curse, “well you see…it’s a-”
*Will the rest of the five royalties Kanda-sama, Lavi-sama and Lenalee-sama please report to the auditorium? The integration of the new Joker Allen Walker will begin shortly. This is an important notice from the Princess Kuu-sama, thank you*
The intercom interrupted Allen’s shuttering. He sighed, saved by the bell, in this case the intercom. He wasn’t ready to tell them that much about himself as yet…wait a minute did they just say my name? How did they know I accepted?!
“What?” Allen asked stupidly, “How did they know that I accepted” he voice out loud.
“Kuu probably did it, we’ll leave the innocence for later then” Lavi said walking to catch up Kanda who already got up to leave, “I wouldn’t put it pass the princess, she’s determined to make Yuu like you” he snorted, “I doubt that Yuu will though he likes taller guys like me for instance” Lavi chuckled at Allen’s shocked expression, “So don’t get your hopes up moyashi”
“It’s Allen!!!” Allen yelled following Lavi, “Don’t worry I see where this is going and trust me I won’t get in your way, who’d like that stoic cold bastard anyway”
“Believe me tons are after him boys and girls alike” Lavi said with a chuckle, “I guess Yuu’s in a good mood I mean he hasn’t hit me once, man do I have good luck or what”
Kanda seemed to be in deep thought or he was ignoring them altogether because he kept walking.
“I guess I have to go too, see you later brother” Lenalee said, she bowed politely then left following the others out.
Komui sat at his seat his once cheery face now serious.
“So this is Allen Walker, his apprentice” Komui whispered to no one in particular, “Which means he must be close and is in the area”
He got up, walking to the window.
“Just where are you hiding…” his eyes glinted maniacally and he burst out into a fit of uncontrollable laughing, “No matter where you are we’ll find you!!”
~ x ~ x ~ x ~ x ~ x ~
“Achoo!!!”
“Cross dear are you alright?” a scantily dressed lady asked, she poured more wine into Cross’s wine glass.
“Yes I’m perfectly fine” Cross smiled sexily at the lady making her blush. Weird it felt like some maniac was talking about me. He shivered; I hope that brat’s not blowing my cover.
~ x ~ x ~ x ~ x ~ x ~
“Here we are moyashi” Lavi said smiling.
“It’s Allen!!”
“What ever lets go” Lavi replied with his usual goofy smile in place, “Oooh look at that it’s a full house” he commented, the auditorium was packed, “Lets make an entrance” he giggled.
“Is he always like this?” Allen whispered to Lenalee.
“What do you mean?” Lenalee asked in a whisper.
“Does he always act like an idiot?”
“Yep” Lenalee replied with a sigh, “But he does that for a reason”
“Really? What reason?” Allen prodded.
Lenalee paused for a bit, contemplating whether she should say something or not, she figured it wouldn’t hurt stating his reason.
“You see he acts that way for Kanda’s sake” Lenalee explained, “Back then when they were freshmen Kanda was so antisocial the person he talked to was Kuu and she didn’t even attend the school”
Wow that bad. Allen thought.
“Lavi was the first to approach him with his cheery attitude and of course he got shot down but he continued in Kanda’s case annoying him and well friendship started then” Lenalee said with a smile, “They’ve been together ever since, Lavi’s idiotic behavior acts as a barrier for his real feelings you see…ops”
“No worries I figured that out before” Allen said, “Lavi really likes him huh” some how saying that made his heart clench a little. What’s up with me?!!
“Yeah he does but Lavi is a pervert he likes anybody who’s cute I mean he was all over me when I came here last year and became Ace”
“Oh you’re a junior huh? Wow you all have way more experience in this than me” Allen sulked, “I don’t think I’ll be able to match you all…” I thought Lenalee would be a freshman like me…well there’s Kuu but…He shuddered remembering that she had declared him her daddy…it will be really awkward dealing with her from now on.
“Don’t worry you’ll get there” Lenalee assured, her voice perked up, “Look it’s Kuu” she waved to Kuu who was at the podium on stage in front of the student, “Hey Kuu!!!”
Kuu’s head perked up when she saw everyone, she was still a little mad at her mommy but she’ll let that slide for the moment. Right now she’s going to make sure that her daddy stays permanently at her mommy’s side.
She smiled at them as they walked to join them on stage. Whispers began to fill the air about the new Joker. Most of the seniors were pissed that they chose a freshman when they have been there all along.
Allen on the other hand was very nervous as he was sure the students were glaring holes into his back as he walked. They hate me already?
Once they all reached the stage, the entire school body stood. The freshmen were already given their instructions on how to act on the appearance of high authorities. They were about to say something but Kuu raised her hand and stopped them.
“Its okay, please sit” she said with a smile, everyone followed her instructions “Now let’s continue I want to propose that we make Allen Walker the new Joker to fulfill the position my oji-san Daisya left” she turned towards the rest of the five royalties, “The would be Joker is usually nominated by anyone with a title and must have at least five votes from the royalties and the school body teachers and student alike. Five votes in total out of anyone from the mentioned group, so raise your hand if you want to vote or you can just state it!!”
Seriously? Allen thought, Let’s see if I count Kuu, Lenalee and Lavi that’s three…where am I gonna get two more votes from!! I don’t now anyone yet…
“So to start the voting, I vote yes” Kuu said smiling.
“Same here” Lenalee added.
“I guess I’ll say yes too” Lavi chuckled.
“That’s three votes so far” Kuu said.
“Make that four!!” Komui’s voice rang from back stage.
“Yay!! Four votes now who wants to be the last person, come one” Kuu said smiling.
A hand went up in the crowd.
“Yay the last vote!! Da-”
“Excuse me princess but that wasn’t for a vote I wanted to ask a question” the person who brought his hand up said.
“Oh…well fire away”
“Why is it that you choose a freshman to be the Joker why not one of us?” he asked, “Most of us have been here longer than him, I know of the requirements and all of us may not be able to fulfill the innocence requirement but we there are wealthy persons who can-”
“Yes that is the requirement but I want him to be Joker” Kuu whined.
“I’m sorry princess but we will not support this newbie”
The rest of the school body nodded in agreement with the guy.
Kuu’s eyes began to water, like she was about to cry again. She sniffled getting ready to let loose her tears. Allen saw her expression and was about to go to her but an unexpected voice stopped him in his tracks.
“I vote yes too”
Everything stopped, all eyes turned to Kanda who had an irritated look on his face. One question on their minds: did he just say that?
“Yuu…what did you just say?” Lavi asked still shocked.
“You damn well heard I’m not repeating anything” Kanda growled, making Lavi back away a little, “What the hell have I told you about calling me by that name?”
“I got ya I got ya”
Kuu’s eyes sparkled. Mommy do cares about daddy!! I’m so happy!!
“Arigatou(1) hahaue” Kuu said, her voice sincere and mature and not perky and high pitched like how she usually talks.
Kanda grunted and turned away from them.
“The Queen my mommy accepts it so it’s final!! You all better accept it too” Kuu yelled smiling her voice perky again, “And FYI Allen has a innocence and he is my daddy” she showed them her tongue, “So all you perverts who are going after my mommy you better back off or my daddy is gonna beat you up”
Kanda’s mouth fell open and he almost fell down from the shock while Allen’s face paled almost matching his equally pale hair. He could already feel the rage directed at him from Kuu’s little announcement. Lenalee chuckled and Lavi…well he was apart of the group now intending on glaring Allen to death.
“Daddy as the new joker you have the right to change one thing before your reign” Kuu said smiling, “So what will it be?”
“Uh…” Allen began still not over his shock or the glares he was getting, “Well ah…I would like to change my title…Joker sounds too batmanish if you know what I mean”
“Well I know haha I never thought of it that way before!!” Kuu chuckled, “What would you prefer?” she asked.
“Um how about…” Allen scratched his chin in thought, “Ah I get it, how about instead of Joker you use Clown?”

A/N: (1) Arigatou - Thank you
There you go I hope it wasn’t disappointing. Well just wanna say making a freshman seme and the senior uke for this story is nothing compared to the manga Puchi Puri, in that manga the seme is in elementary school and the uke is in high school believe it or not!! But that manga is really interesting Atsushi (the kid seme) is so adorable his outfits are so cute and Yuuji (the uke) is like so cute and a definite uke-material type!! I still can’t believe Atsushi won Yuuji over and made him fall for him they are like 10 years apart!!! It’s shonen ai and has two chapters so far (that I’m aware of). Ok I’m going off topic here…but anyway it’s a nice manga check it out if you have time to I downloaded it from beautifulsoup but I’m sure mangafox should have it (I don’t know for sure I’ll have to check). If you want you could leave your email address and I could send it to you. Well thank you for reading hehehe!
P.S: I have my exams next week so I ah…might not update in a while. I’ll be out of school on June 1 so until then I’ll be in study mode. But after June I’ll make sure I update at least two chapters (if I can but I’ll try). Once again thank you for reading although I probably crushed some of your hopes with me still stubbornly making Kanda uke.
Next chapter: Mission Starts
Ja na
Kaos
