Characters: Rhode Kamelot [

promisedlotus]
When: Backdated to June 20th.
Where: The foggy abandon of Nesreca.
Rating: PG-13 - R. There will be blood.
Summary: Rhode has played nice for a very long time. Kanda has taken advantage of her truce with Allen Walker. So she has finally decided that enough is enough -- and it's time for a lesson.

The moment the feed cut off, Rhode Kamelot opened her Doors -- and the moment she stepped into them, her skin was ash grey, her crown of thorns present, and her frilly pink umbrella clenched tightly in her right hand. Inside her world, it felt safe -- protected -- free from the staring eyes of every single damn Exorcist in Nesreca who wanted her dead.

No, it was time to end the staring and the constant leering.

The Doors opened silently -- and out of them, propelled four black and purple wax candles, each aiming for a different limb of Kanda Yuu's from behind.

"Watch your back~♥, he said," Rhode jeered as she stepped down onto the wet grass, opening her umbrella to shield her from the rain, her smile wide and unstable. "It's so funny ♥ I wish Lero were here, he would laugh ♥"

He should have expected it, really. After four months of having to live with Rhode - forced to live with Rhode in this goddamn building, he should have expected it. When Rhode came out of her doors and sent her candles after him, he didn't expect it. He didn't even know she was there until she spoke.

Only then did he turn around. The candles caught him, mostly, cause him to stumble back from the force and drop Mugen. He didn't waste any time before moving to pull the candles out of him, and the pain was obvious in his voice when he spoke.

"Very funny." Kanda gave a soft hiss, wincing. He couldn't see where Rhode was, and, hell, he couldn't even see where he had dropped Mugen. Not really.

...This was going to be fun.

One patent-leather shoe kicked Mugen as hard as it could, away from the scene of the crime, with a vicious snarl underneath her breath, a vile curse-word that certainly didn't belong in the mouth of a little girl wielding a frilly pink umbrella.

"You should be grateful~♪"

Rhode stepped forward, throwing another candle at Kanda, aimed for his right arm, her golden eyes glinting furiously in the rain.

"I was playing nice♪ this entire time -- because Allen asked me to. And he's going to be so~♪ mad~♪ that his friend was stupid enough to throw away his life for nothing~♥"

Her shoes squelched in the mud as she stepped forward, tipping her umbrella backwards slightly to get a better look at Kanda, her snarl marring her features into something ugly.

"He's the only one who doesn't watch me, you know. He doesn't check on me. He doesn't chase after me and open doors to make sure I'm not there -- and he doesn't tell me to watch my back."

And Rhode raised her hand, her snarl transforming into a wicked smile, holding the pointed edge of the candle directly to Kanda's throat, her tone suddenly light and free.

"And Allen is the only human in this city that's safe. ♥"

Mugen. Kanda's eyes widened slightly when he heard it be kicked away, immediately moving to retrieve his Innocence. He ignored Rhode, seeing as it didn't matter if he said anything at this point or not. He didn't see the candle aiming for his right arm until it was nearly too late, and quickly moved off to the side to dodge it. He ignored the cut it left behind and continued on.

He had to stop, though, at the candle at his throat. A gloved hand reached up to cover his bleeding arm, but otherwise stood there. His eyes scanned through the fog carefully, trying to see past the veil that Rhode was using for her cover.

He still didn't say anything.

There was a shrill giggle as another candle rocketed out of nowhere, to slam into Kanda's left shoulder from behind. This was what Rhode was good at -- ducking and weaving, hitting and running away -- and the sheer delight of finally being able to shut this idiot's mouth from teasing her was almost too much to stand.

"What are you going to do, Kanda~? ♥" Rhode jeered, a shadow in the fog as she slipped further away, but the candle remained hovering at his throat. "Kill me?"

Kanda gave a pained grunt as he stumbled forward, careful of the candle at his throat. He took a moment to simply breathe before letting his eyes quickly scan what he could see of the ground. He'd kneel down to get a better look, but as he reached back to try and pull the candle out of his shoulder, he figured that Rhode would take that opportunity to pin him to the ground. Literally.

Still, despite his situation, he had to give a smirk at the comment. "You tempt me, Rhode."

"With what? Not even Lavi could do it. ♥"

Rhode was gone -- melted away into the fog -- and for the barest moment, it looked as if she had left. There was silence -- no footsteps, no giggling, no laughing to herself --

And then another candle shot towards Kanda's left leg, from the right, along with a snarl:

"None of you can."

Another pained grunt as the candle pierced his leg, and this time Kanda did kneel down. He yanked it out carefully, ignoring his bleeding leg and blood splashing onto the ground and got back onto his feet. He had to try and keep an eye out.

"That's Lavi." Oh, how he wanted Mugen right now.

"He's smarter than you."

And, suddenly, Rhode appeared before him, with a passive smile on her face. A hand shot out to grab Kanda by the hair, yanking him down to her level, a hand pressed to his chest.

She almost looked sympathetic to his plight.

"He wished me a happy birthday."

And she shoved it through his chest.

Kanda's eyes widened slightly as Rhode appeared before him, wincing slightly and glaring at her as he was pulled down. He didn't pay much attention to the hand on his chest.

And instantly regretted it.

Azure eyes widened as the hand went through, immediately followed by Kanda coughing up blood. Rhode, you had better move or he will get the blood right on your dress before moving to pull himself away.

The moment the blood hit Rhode's clothing, she felt a jolt of excitement. Her fingers itched for death -- it would be easy, to end it all, to sever his head and pin his esophagus to the ground --

But something made her fingers twitch and she yanked the candle back out with a growl of frustration.

"I want you to die," Rhode snarled, kicking him soundly in the knees, to attempt to bring him to the ground. "You deserve to die. It pisses me off that you're all allowed to live like you own this world when you don't."

Rhode sent another candle forward, and another, to Kanda's shoulders.

"You sicken me."

When Rhode pulled her hand away, Kanda coughed up more blood. It hurt to breathe, almost. The kick did nothing but bring dull pain to his knee before he was knocked down to the ground by the candles. He gave a pained groan, slowly moving to try and push himself back up.

He was stubborn; he wasn't going to give up so easily even though he was without Mugen.

"I...won't die."
