                        “ You shouldn’t be here. “

Mugen was stuck into the wall on one side of Allen’s head, and on the other Kanda pressed his hand, trapping the other exorcist to the best of his ability. He knew that if the other wanted, he would try and fight his way out and would be able to push him back enough to squirm away. But that’s why he decided he needed to get all of his answers before that happened. 

                                     “ Why do you keep running? We’re all                                         trying to help you stupid moyashi!” 

The general’s uniform, half obscured by a regular overcoat, was testament to that. Kanda had returned to the Order, but he would have never joined their upper ranks if it weren’t for the fact that all of the exorcists were trying to protect  Allen. 

The sword in his hand nearly clattered to the ground at the creature that  suddenly came before him. It had a familiar face that had his stomach curling in disgust and thinly ignored fear. This akuma was sick, wearing the face of someone that he had once known. 

            “Do you know how long i’ve been looking for you?”

Hands fists tightly in the collar of Allen’s shirt, shaking him with enough vigor to harm a normal person. But Kanda knew that Allen was far from normal and he hardly cared if he hurt the white haired exorcists. If anything, he was hoping that it might shake some sense into the other exorcist. Hence why Kanda gave him one last, hard, shake for good measure.

He became a general just to find this idiot, and he was contemplating killing him before he even got any answers about why the other had run away to begin with.

Finding a Noah at a formal event, one that he didn’t even want to be at and yet was forced to all the same - was just the icing on the cake of this shitty day. Tyki looked slightly different in his human form, but Kanda knew his  face too well to be fooled. He assumed the other was here for the same reason as him, to find the rumored innocence the wealthy old woman throwing the party seemed to own.                                 “ What the hell are you doing here? “

He wouldn’t start a fight, but like hell if he was going to be friendly towards the man.

He sat back with his arms crossed over his chest, Mugen siting diagonally  across his chest as he stared out the train window. Mostly so he wasn’t  looking at the blond sitting across from him. 

                         “ Is Allen the only reason you are working                             without the Order’s approval?”

It wasn’t as though he knew for certain, but it seemed as though Link had known the Third Exorcists and he wondered if the blond wasn’t as much of a dog for the Order as he thought.

Dark eyebrows furrowed together as he quickly rounded the seemingly deserted house - the feeling of this being far too easy making the hairs on the back of his neck stand up. But already being this close Kanda realized he could hardly just turn around despite the impending danger. If this was some extremely lucky break to have found the noah’s base while they were gone he would be foolish to sit around and wait for them to come back. The worst that could happen was that he had to fight far more than he desired.

Finding a  window partially cracked open on the second floor, Kanda quickly scaled the side of the building - swinging himself soundlessly into the room. It was disheveled, but empty. With his fingers curling around the hilt of his sword, he continued his silent journey through the house. 

It was messy inside, filled with tipped over furniture and clothing scattered around. That simply served to confuse Kanda more, but maybe that was just because he’d never seen where Noah actually lived before. He considered the fact that this could have been some innocent human’s house before as well.

Since he was already at the top Kanda decided to start his search from there, going room by room. In one of them he caught an akuma off guard, its level low enough he was able to finish it with a simple slice from Mugen. Convinced that there was something here that was being protected gave him hope, he had been searching for where the noah were keeping the two bookmen without any luck so far. Every lead had been a dead end or just another house filled with bullet holes from akuma. 

After the second floor was clear, Kanda skipped the main floor after finding the one to the basement was locked. Kicking down the door with little care for the sound he made, Kanda was not surprised to find an akuma screaming up the stairs at him firing bullets all the while only to be met with his sword. Slamming one boot-clad foot into the creatures face a few moments later he slid down the remaining stairs by using the half-conscious carcass. 

The basement looked far less like a basement and more like a dungeon once he got a good look at it, and so Kanda did the one thing he could think of in order to see if there was any point in searching the whole area. He yelled, his voice loud and firm.
