***** Chapter 1 *****
“You fucking dumbass brat! Can you do anything right?!” A man screamed landing
a punch across the face of a young boy with shoulder length red hair. The boy
immediately dropped to the floor in a fetal position screaming for the man to
stop. But the punches and kicks only continued. The young boy began to cry.
“Adam, if you don’t stop then someone will surely notice the bruises. He’s
going to have to stay home again. If Allen misses another day without a doctors
note he’ll have to repeat his grade.” A woman with long yellow blond hair said
stepping out of the shadows.
“He has to learn somehow not to misbehave. He was told not to leave the school
without Road or Tyki but he was caught by Wisely and Sheril on the outside of
town. He was trying to leave.” The man said, the boy Allen had managed to get
up and crawl to the corner of the room hugging his knees to his chest rocking
back and forth.
“Do what you want but I won’t help you if someone starts asking questions.” The
woman said and began walking off, Allen’s head shot up and his eyes widened.
Darting to his feet he only had seconds to reach the woman before more pain
would ensue. And he was just seconds too slow before he was grabbed.
“No! Don’t please! I won’t run again…I won’t run!” Allen screamed as the man
named Adam forced the boys arm into the open fire of the fire place. Allen let
out a pained screamed the moment the flames met his flesh. Even though his arm
was only in the flames for just a few seconds, it felt like an eternity
instead. He was thrown to the ground, screaming in pain. The woman had run back
in and chaos ensued as he was rushed out and to the hospital. The woman
eventually brought him his things which only filled a single backpack. He knew
what she was trying to tell him.
“This is your only open window Allen. Once you’re out, never look back and
never stop running or hiding. I’m the only one who knows your hair has gone
white. This is my work business card, if you ever need additional help on where
to go, don’t hesitate to call okay. I will also help you with any schooling you
wish to do.” The woman said sitting in the chair next to his hospital bed.
“Aunt Lulu Bell…how did you come to marry such a horrible man like Uncle Adam?”
Allen asked hugging his knees his head rested sideways on them as he stared
blankly at the kind woman.
“He was never always like this, I don’t know what changed him. I guess it’s
because you look so much like your mother who he was in love with. He never
forgave his brother Mana for taking her and with Neah’s disappearance, things
only got worst. Stay away Allen, our home will only be your death.” She said
one last time before standing and walking away after slipping two credit cards
within the front pocket of Allen’s backpack.
During the early night hours of the next morning Allen changed out of the
hospital gown and into his own clothes. Black cotton sweat pants and a thin
black long sleeved shirt followed by a white pair of gloves he never had to
wear before. Slipping out of the room he avoided nurses and doctors taking a
back stairwell which led to an alley way by the hospital. Keeping to the alleys
Allen silently slipped out of town unnoticed and knew within the next few hours
he would be a wanted person to the Noah Family.
~Allen’s POV~
 
“One year…that was all one year ago and I am finally far away enough that they
won’t find me. Better yet hopefully they’ve given up on looking for me.” I
muttered sitting on a bus that was taking me to a gated school just up the road
in the country side of Paris, France. I flipped open the cell phone I got six
months before and smiled at the message from Lulu Bell.
‘It’s official you are now Allen Walker once more and no longer Allen Noah.
Have fun at Black Order Private Academy.’ The message read from Lulu Bell.
Since day one she was always secretly helping me get out of the clutches of the
family, but even though I now had my original last name back, my uncle could
still come for me. The school I was going to though should be far away enough
where Uncle Adam wouldn’t be able to find me and take me away even still I
vowed to never speak of that horrid past. From coming home to see my parents
murdered, to being forced to live with that psychotic uncle to now being on the
run. The bus after another 15 minutes pulled through the gates to the school.
It was a large place almost resembling that of a mansion out of a gothic horror
movie.
“Well it can’t be any worse than what I’ve been through. It beats being on the
run.” I grumbled climbing off of the bus and into the courtyard where a girl
was waiting. She had dark black hair with a green tint put up in pig tails
wearing was most likely the school uniform; a black and white blouse with a
black skirt.
“You must be Allen Walker, my name is Lenalee Lee the principals sister. I will
be your guide for the day.” She smiled warmly and I couldn’t help but feel
welcomed and safe.
“Thank you Miss. Lenalee.” I nodded my head to her and she only giggled and I
felt my face heat up ever so slightly.
“Pleas, just call me Lenalee. I really do hope you enjoy your stay here.” She
smiled before nodding her head to follow her. Inside the school was much more
inviting than the outside and that showered a wave of relief within me. I
wouldn’t be reminded to the inside of my uncles home, the outside well…that was
a different story in itself. Lenalee went on about the rules about the school
and how everyone shares a room with two other students of the same gender. She
said there was a possibility that all rooms were full and I’d be able to get my
own for a time being, but deep down I knew that was highly unlikely. She
escorted me through the entire school showing me shortcuts to certain places
and showing me the extravagant cafeteria where you could order anything from
the cook Jerry. Now that was something to look forward to. I wouldn’t mind
sharing a room with one or two other people after getting a smell of that
wonderful smelling food. Our last destination ended up being at her brothers
office. I thought it cool knowing that her brother was the principal, up until
we walked in and she was suddenly gathered into his arms and he began wailing
at how much he missed her.
‘Well that’s not awkward!’ I thought watching the scene and just stood there to
wait.
“BROther! You have a new student to get settled in! Hurry up with his schedule
and text books so I can take him to his dorm room so he can settle in!” She
snapped and I am shown who was the leader in their brother/sister relationship.
“Right, right…I apologize about that mister Walker. My name is Komui Lee.” He
said ushering me to follow him into an adjacent office.
“Um please could you just call me Allen, mister Walker sounds way too formal,
especially with me being a student Mr. Lee.” I said and only smiled at me,
something told me that his smile was very dangerous.
“Very gentleman like, well now call me Komui please. I must warn you, if you
wish to survive me you’ll never date my sister.” He said and I could only stare
at him, yep he had a sister complex I had suspected. Reminded me of how Sheril
was with Road.
“No need to fret Komui, I have no intentions of dating your sister, maybe
become friends with her, but nothing more. You see I’m not interested in the
female population.” I smiled all too sweetly, if only my god father Cross were
here, he’d be so proud, or he’d just throw me through a window and say he was
only training me. The bastard!
“Wait…your gay?! That’s great! Now to get that Lavi Bookman away from my lovely
sister; speaking of Lavi you will be rooming with him and his roommate Yuu
Kanda. You wouldn’t be interested in helping me keep Lavi away from my sister?”
He asked and I felt my eyes narrow at the man in annoyance.
“No thank you, I actually plan to keep to myself as much as possible. I would
rather stay as invisible as much as I can.” I said and I watch as his face went
serious and his smile vanishes.
“So, you’re one with a past. Listen Allen, use our resources to help you. Being
along isn’t living.” He said and I had to catch myself from lashing out.
“In no disrespect sir but I will come to terms with my past when I need to, at
the moment I will just keep them to myself.” I couldn’t stand nosey people and
he was definitely rubbing onto me to be that way. Or that he was some secret
mad scientist who studies on his students…nah!
“My apologies I over stepped my boundaries. I have to remind myself that not
everyone wants help. Here is your schedule and dorm room key, warning don’t
call Kanda by his first name Yuu, he’ll kill you.” Komui warned before I was
ushered out of the office and left into the care of Lenalee once more.
“It’s a good thing you came on our Friday holiday, you have three days to get
to know your roommates and get used to the layout of the school.” She smiled as
we headed down the hallway.
“Yea hopefully, and hopefully relax, I haven’t had a real day of relaxation in
over a year.” I muttered.
“Why haven’t you had a relaxing day in that long?” She asked and I only stayed
quiet starring at my feet, I chose it wise not to answer her. “I’m sorry if I
pried.” She whispered, she sounded sad and hurt and I felt like kicking myself.
“No, you didn’t do anything. I apologize. I have a lot of dark skeletons and at
this moment I’d rather forget them instead of talk about them.” I smiled and
she smiled back.
“That’s understandable, but you know talking does help. If you ever need to my
dorm is down the hall from yours in room 99. Come and talk if you ever feel
like it, even if it’s over nothing. Lavi is a bit nosey and Kanda can be an
asshole so they’re both horrible at serious talks, but me I’ve had a rough past
myself so I’m a good ear listener if you need it.” She offered and I felt my
smile getting bigger.
“Yea, okay you can count on it. Same with you, I’m a good listener to if you
ever need it even though we just met.” I offered and she squealed in delight.
“YAY! I now have two gay best friends!” She cheered happily and I could only
laugh nervously, this school was sure to be interesting. Reaching the room I
was so happy that my room number was 77, it would be horrible to have a
different number. Lenalee reached up and knocked quickly on the door.
“Open up you lazy bums! You two have a new roommate!” Lenalee said happily and
the door instantly swung open and the girl was swept up into a pair of arms.
“My lovely Lenalee you have returned to me!” The boy cheered, he had red hair
and green eyes, one of his eyes was covered with an eye patch and he wore
bright green bandanna scarf around his head. He seemed normal enough. That is
until he looked at me and I swear you would see stars in them and suddenly his
face was inches from mine and I couldn’t help but let out an eep.
“Yup I knew it this one is gay!” He cheered stepping back and letting out a
laugh only to be punched in the back of the head causing him to fall face first
onto the floor. Looking up I barely stop the gasp that wanted to leave my mouth
at the handsome person standing in front of me; the boy in front of me had long
bluish black hair and dark eyes.
“Baka Usagi what is with you and trying to find out the sexuality of EVERY new
person even if you’re right the majority of the time?!” The boy hissed stomping
the back of his foot into the back of the red haired boys head. Yea I was
defiantly going to be having interesting roommates and I was going to need to
be careful with that.
“Beherse erm urious!” Lavi muffled and I stifled a laugh at hearing him, as did
Lenalee.
“Is he right? Are you gay?” The boy then asked looking up at me, if looks could
kill I’d be dead right now, but once you truly stare at them you notice that
they are nice sincere eyes and not scary, just his ever prominent frown.
“Yes, I’m gay.” I flat lined answered and the boy smirked dangerously before
looking down to Lavi lifting his foot from his head.
“Looks like you’re the only straight man in a room with two gay men baka!” The
boy said before he stepped over Lavi and stood directly in front of me and held
his hand out.
“I’m Yuu Kanda, but please just call me Kanda or you’ll end up like the baka
usagi and be impaled by Mugen.” He said and I could only chuckle a bit before
taking his hand.
“Allen Walker and that’s totally cool with me.” I said and I had this feeling
Kanda and I could become friends if I could learn how to
 
***** Chapter 2 *****
~Allen's POV~
After I had calmed down from up on the roof I finally went back to my new dorm
room only to walk in to find Lenalee still going on about the Noah kids and my
two roommates looks utterly bored. Honestly I could feel for them, I would be
to if I had stayed in here any longer. I walked around the idolizing Lenalee
and went over and sat on my new bed as she went on about how each Noah kid was
wonderful, while here I was insulting them in my mind for every good thing she
said. After a while I was back to starring out the window and drowning her out.
Back when we were all kids, and I mean really young kids we all were very
close. Then suddenly everyone got famous and they all changed and I felt alone
and unable to cope with the loneliness. Road seemed to stay the most in
character, up until I moved into the Noah Estate and she showed how much more
psychotic she was than my Uncle Adam. The fame had gotten to all them minus
Aunt Lulu and I. I guess fame brings out the worst in a lot of people.
"Hey Lenalee we'll see you at dinner, you're really boring us with this Noah
Family thing." Lavi chuckled, I watched Lenalee puss out her cheeks before she
smiled sweetly and walked out. After a few minutes Lavi fell back onto his bed
with a sigh.
"About damn time! If I had to hear anymore of that Noah Family shit I think I
would scream!" Lavi said starring up at the ceiling.
"You're telling me, I bet that Allen kid ran away to get away from the drama
that creates fan girls. I can't blame him for vanishing and I think his family
should let him be." I heard Kanda say. "What do you think Allen?" He then asked
and I just shrugged.
"I think everyone is free to do whatever they want and shouldn't be caged by
how it sounds in that Allen kids case." I answered and fell back as well to
laying on the bed my head close to the foot of the bed.
"Enough of that topic! I'm curious Allen, it's close to summer and you're
wearing long sleeves and gloves...any reason as to why? You must be burning
up?" Lavi asked and I turned my head to look at Lavi right as a pillow collided
with his face.
"Damn it you baka don't bud your nose into others business! It's not polite
asshole!" Kanda snapped and I only chuckled. I hugged my deeply scarred arm to
me and turned my head to stare up at the ceiling above me. This arm was what
keeps all my secrets and I am reminded of them every day. If anyone sees it
then so many questions would be asked and that thought truly scared me.
"Allen don't pay attention to the baka usagi. If there is anything you don't
wish to tell people, then you have no obligation to say them. Your past is your
past." Kanda said and I only nodded my head still starring at the ceiling. Soon
Lavi and Kanda were yelling at one another once more and I had to pull out my
music player and headphones playing my playlist Ivan Torrent the song Before I
Leave This World coming on first. And closed my eyes and let myself completely
go. I could still here the loud argument going on around me. It reminded me a
bit of what went on in that house. Biting my lip I got up and left the dorm
room, not saying a single word. I didn't go to the roof this time but found
myself on a trail into the woods at the back end of the school. I had already
taken my headphones out and stuffed them into my pocket with my music player.
"Hey! Sorry about that back at the room." It was Kanda and he had caught up to
me. I noticed Lavi not too far behind us.
"Its not either of your faults. Yes I have a past, yes it's one of those kind
of pasts. I came to this school to get away from it. That's all I'm going into
with that subject." I explained linking my hands behind my head.
"Then why did you run off? Someone is going to start heavily questioning you if
you run off every time something of this nature reminds you of your past." Lavi
stated and I saw Kanda nod his head in agreement with the red head.
"Yes I ran off from the argument, but that was to give you guys battle room and
to clear my head. I'm not good with change, and when I moved in to my last home
it got worst because I was never able to settle in. Now here I am and suddenly
I feel like I'm settling in right off the bat!" I explained letting out a heavy
breath.
"Isn't that a good thing?" Kanda asked and I had to think about my answer.
"Yes and no. It only is if you're used to settling into new places, no if
you've never really had a home for a long time." I explained starring up at the
darkening sky above us.
"Allen...you wouldn't happen to be that Allen Noah, Lenalee was talking about?"
Kanda suddenly asked and I stopped walking my eyes wide as I looked to Kanda
who now turned to stare right into my eyes.
"Kanda, that boy has red hair why would you ask our roommate who has white
hair?!" Lavi laughed, but the dark haired boy and I just kept starring at one
another.
"No, I'm not. What makes you think I am?" I ask a little too calmly and I could
tell he caught on, or was beginning to catch on.
"Because ever since she brought it up, you've been acting real strange. There
are many ways for your hair to change. Trauma, dying it and wearing a wig. I'm
guessing one of the first two, I doubt your hair is a wig. But if you say
you're not Allen Noah, then I guess you're not. But if you are I'd check in
with your family." He said, with every word that left his mouth caused a
jabbing feeling in my chest from the fear of being found out and sent back
home.
"Even if I was how do you know that me being here is actually the safest thing
for me?" I asked nonchalantly and I watched his lips twist up into a smirk. I
didn't know if his look should worry me or not.
"Like I told you back in the room, your past is yours. No one can force you to
tell them anything that you're not willing to share. But I do advise you to
talk to someone especially if you're in trouble Allen Walker." Kanda said and I
feel my breath catching in my lungs.
"Kanda cut it out you're scaring the boy half to death! He says he is Allen
Noah, so that mean's he isn't Allen Noah. Can we just drop it and leave it at
that and go get dinner? I really don't want to miss Jerry's cooking ya know!"
Lavi said but Kanda and I still stood there even when Lavi finally left.
"So now that the baka usagi is gone are you going to tell me the truth? I just
want to know your identity not your past. I really don't care about no fucking
reward, I could help you since I to am running from a past not worth talking
about." Kanda explained and I felt a wall I had built beginning to crumble
down. I just met this kid and already do I feel some sort of connection with
him. But I knew even though him and I are both gay doesn't mean we'd ever be
able to get together. No one would ever want to be with someone like me.
"My name is Allen Walker. I was adopted by my Uncle Adam Noah when I came home
to find my parents dead. Last year my Aunt Lulu Bell helped me escape my home
and I haven't looked back since. I need to stay away until I'm 18 so my uncle
doesn't get the fund money that is rightfully mine." I said mechanically my
eyes wide and now starring at the ground. I was waiting for the betrayal,
waiting for the moment where he'd run off and call someone to alert that I'm
here. I slightly jump when Kanda pushes his fingers a bit into my hair twirling
some of my white strands in between his thumb and index finger.
"I look forward to getting to know you more so maybe one day you and I could
really open up to one another and help each other." He said before leaning
forward and leaving a soft quick kiss onto my forehead. I felt my face heating
up and soon felt his hand in mine and he began to lead me through the school
until we reached the cafeteria. I felt my entire face heating up when I noticed
almost every female student starring at us and some male students. I had this
undying feeling I maybe having some new enemies once school starts.
"Kanda...we're here at the cafeteria...must you still hold my hand?" I asked
and he only looked back at me with a smirk. My face heated up even more. Why
the hell was it doing that?!
"Once we get to the table, it's quite crowded in here and we don't need you
getting lost or taken away by any other students." He said once we stopped at
the back of the line for food.
"Well we're in line so, um...please let go of my hand." I said looking to the
side to the floor.
"Why? Do I make you nervous?" He whispered his mouth right by my ear. I felt a
shiver run up my spine and send shivers through me.
"No!" I squeaked then covered my face with my free hand from embarrassment. I
heard him chuckle and it was the sexiest sound I have ever heard.
'STOP!' I shout in my mind, now was not the time to be falling for one of your
roommates.
"You know you're cute when you're arguing with yourself." She winked and pulled
me along as the line moved, I watched his back my eyes wide open in amazement.
Since I first met him, he's been nothing but nice to me. Maybe opening up a bit
wouldn't be a bad thing, all I have to do is keep my dark past behind me.
"My favorite colors are white, pasty blue and gold." I suddenly say and wish to
slap myself for being such a girl with the favorite color shit!
"My favorite colors are black, dark blue and silver." He said looking to me
with that small smile of his and I knew I was blushing again.
"Favorite food is Mitarashi Dango's." I say biting my lip but nevertheless
smiling as well.
"Soba and Wasabi with a side of miso soup." He said and my smile grew. Finally
it was our time to order our foods. I noticed Lavi and Lenalee sitting off at a
table waving at us. I gave them a small wave as Kanda gave his order. Next was
my turn.
"What can I get for you new face?" The dark skinned man with purple hair asked
and I just blinked at him.
"Well Lenalee told me you can cook anything here...right? And my name is Allen
by the way." I asked, also being polite with giving my name.
"Ah what a gentleman you are, my name is Jerry and yes, anything your heart
desires I can cook for you." He said giving me a wink and I could only blink at
him before starring at Kanda who was stifling his laughter.
"Well I guess I'll just have a plate of 20 Mitarashi Dango's." I ordered and
Kanda just blinked at me and I only smiled. "I have big appetites." I added.
"No kidding, you out beat Lavi who can only eat 10." He said as we both stood
at the pick up area and waited for our food.
"Favorit season?" He then asked.
"Winter." I answered and he smiled.
"So is mine. Everything is stuck in a frozen beauty and that's why I like it."
He said and I find myself smiling once more.
"I love it because it gives you reason to get even more close to the one you
love for warmth. It's also a time for families to get together." I explain as
our foods were handed to us and we headed to the table.
"That's another reason I like it as well. We'll continue our twenty questions
styled talk later." Kanda said and I nodded my head as we each sat down at the
table we were at.
"So how're you liking your rooming situation Allen? Lavi here told me you ran
out earlier." Lenalee said as she took a bit of her salad.
"What the baka usgai forgot to mention to you was how he was hounding Allen
here about his past and why he wears long sleeves." Kanda said using his
chopsticks to take a bite of his Soba noodles.
"Lavi!" Lenalee shrieked before smacking him in the arm.
"It's no big deal Lenalee, I also needed to clear my head. Please don't get
violent." I said laughing nervously. Her and Road would definitely get along
quite well with their personalities being so close together.
"Sorry, he hasn't learned from scaring off the last person that roomed with
them. He can be so overbearing some times. Don't let him get to you." Lenalee
said with a sweet smile.
"He's not overbearing to me, just a bit eccentric. I've been around people
worst than him. I can tell the four of us are all going to be close friends." I
said taking a side glance over to Kanda who was also side glancing me as well.
My head whirls around to look back at Lenalee when she squeals happily and Lavi
looks utterly annoyed.
"Allen, you and me shopping in town tomorrow! Just us, there is something I
just HAVE to discuss with you pronto!" She said very quickly and it took me a
second to comprehend what she just said.
"Um...alright." I said and took another bite of my dango. Why do I have this
feeling she was going to try and hook Kanda and I together. The rest of dinner
went normally with the four of us talking and laughing and getting to know one
another and it ended up us being the last group left in the cafeteria before we
all headed back to our rooms.
"Good night Allen, Kanda...Lavi no pestering Allen let him offer the
information of his life without being interrogated." Lenalee said grabbing the
front of Lavi's shirt and pulled him down her lips meshing with his. I made an
immediate beeline into the dorm room knowing I was not wanting to watch the
make out session that was about to happen.
"Looks like I'm not the only one. They'll be a while, and Lavi will be a very
long while since he's most likely going to be sneaking out to buy liquor for
tonight." Kanda laughed a bit shutting and locking the door behind him.
"Yea, I think seeing people making out is awkward. I've never been in a serious
relationship before, only one for show." I said belly flopping onto my bed.
"Well you never know what could happen. It's obvious you're attracted to me and
I know damn well I'm attracted to you. But let's start off as friends first,
seeing as we both have trust issues with people." Kanda said sitting on the
edge of my bed leaning over me with his arm across me.
"It's that noticeable?" I asked and he only nodded his head. "Thank you Kanda
for reading me, it would be so much better if everyone could." I added.
"I can read you easily, as you can read me to Allen. We're able to read each
other because we have similar pasts. But one step at a time for right now.
Let's wait till you're more comfortable." He said and I turned so I was looking
up at him.
"If Lenalee were in here this would probably kill her match making plans that
she is obviously making and why she's taking me shopping tomorrow." I laughed
and a bit and he joined me.
"We'll let her have her fun, for now let's get to sleep especially with your
long day tomorrow." Kanda said and he leaned forward as I lifted my head up,
both of us meeting the other half way. Our lips never touched though, we just
sat like that for the longest time just starring into the others eyes.
Eventually we pulled away and retired to bed. My heart was still pounding in my
chest and I wished that our lips had met. But like he had said, one step at a
time. I was perfectly fine with that as my eyes slipped closed to a dreamless
sleep.
Morning came quickly with Lenalee bursting into our room and hurrying me to get
dressed so we could head out. I just half way awake and followed her out to
where the bus was picking us and a few other students up. Lavi and Kanda said
they'd meet up with us later for lunch, that gave Lenalee and I five hours with
one another for shopping.
"So how are you liking Black Order Academy so far?" She asked and I linked my
hands behind my back to think for a bit.
"Well not sure quite yet until I attend some classes but everyone I've met so
far have been really nice. Though I am worried about some students turning
enemy on me for Kanda dragging me into the cafeteria by the hand.
"Don't worry if anyone tries anything they'll get kicked out. There is a strict
no fight, no bullying rule within the school. My brother doesn't tolerate that
sort of thing, since it happened with Lavi when him and I first started dating.
That's how he lost his eye, a few kids jumped him and hurt him quite badly.
Kanda found him and fought everyone off. The two are actually really good
friends you know. So don't worry you're in good company, and we'll always be
there for you." Lenalee smiled and I smiled back at her as we entered the
shopping mall.
"Oh my what a surprise!" My heart stopped in that instant though, two things
were going to happen. First Lenalee will be happy to meet her idols. Second I
will be going through a lot of pain here soon. Standing right in front of us
was Road, Tyki, Jasdero and Devit. I could feel my breathing becoming ragged.
To my surprise though Lenalee didn't begin to fangirl.
"Allen are you alright." I could only nod my head to her question.
"Do you have any idea how worried Papa Adam is?! He misses you a great deal,
but sadly since you're already in school we can't take you back, but we can
have some fun with you right Allen?" Road asked as she stepped forward
maneuvering her face to directly in mine.
"I...I'm so-sorry but I'm wi-with a f-friend at the m-mo-moment." I stuttered
and Road's smile vanish instantly as her eyes slitted at me.
"Jasdevi do me a favor and take him to our hotel room, we'll return him once
we're done with him." Road said darkly, grabbing my wrist and easily pulled me
and pushed me into the two.
"Wait!" Lenalee said trying to reach for me but Tyki grabbed her wrist.
"I'm sorry miss but this is family business, you're going to have to beat it."
He hissed dangerously at her and I watched as her face paled and she backed
away from me.
"Now be a doll and stay here and pretend you never saw us. Lets go boys." Road
smiled and they began walking off with me.
"Nononononono! Stop let me go! Lenalee! LENALEE!" I screamed trying to get away
from my psychotice deranged family, I watched as Lenalee ran off. And it was at
that moment I was once again abandoned.
'Kanda...' I thought to myself hoping he'd come looking for me.
 
***** Chapter 3 *****
~Allen's POV~
I sat in the backseat of Tyki's car sitting in between both of the deranged
twins, Road was up front humming away to the song that was on the radio. I knew
I was going to be hurt very badly, I just at the moment had no clue if I was
going to be confronting Uncle Adam or not. I could feel Jasdero and Devit's
eyes on me as I could see them in the rear view mirror. Tyki every once in a
while would glance back at me so now I kept my head lowered and starred into my
lap silently praying for someone to find me.
"No need to be scared Allen you won't be seeing Adam today, he's still in
London dealing with child services to find you. You see though he doesn't care
about your funds anymore, nor is he going to tell anyone he's found you. Our
job is to every once in a while remind you who you belong to while you have
your fun vacation at your new school." Road hissed once again her face inches
from mine. I yelp in pain when her hand suddenly grabs my chin harshly and she
forces me to look at her.
"You've caused a great deal of hell for all of us and you will be punished! All
of us hoped that what Adam did to your arm was enough to get through your head
that you CAN'T escape us Allen Walker!" She yelled before releasing my chin and
slapping me across the face as hard as she could, the force of the slap turning
my head. I bit my lip holding back the sob that wanted to break through.
"Say something damn it!" She screamed and backhanded me across the other cheek
a sob breaking free that time.
"Just...stop...I'm sorry...I'm sorry." I cried pathetically lowering my head as
much as it would let me both my cheeks stinging from the pain.
"Your...sorry?! I don't think so you're not getting off easy this time Allen!
Mark my words you will never disobey us ever again!" She hissed as the car came
to a stop and my eyes widened.
"No! NO!" I screamed as Jasdero dragged me from the car and into what looked
like a run down building both him and Devit holding onto me as they followed
Tyki and Road up a flight of stairs. Tears ran down my cheeks as I was forced
to climb the stairs, I never once stopped struggling. But they never once
released me not even when we entered a room and I was forced onto my knees and
held there firmly. My eyes grew in even more size until the wideness hurt a bit
when I watched Tyki pull a switch blade from his pocket. Flipping the blade out
her turned to face me. I began to shack my head violently but Road walked over
and stood behind me and held my head firmly as Tyki approached me.
The moment they began, I started screaming my eyes tightly shut from the pain
and how close the blade was to my eye. I continued to try and pull away as much
as possible it hurt so much. Road laughed the entire time and I only cried. I
felt blood running down my face. Though the torture didn't last long, it felt
like an eternity before the were finished and I was tossed aside.
"Next time will be worst so if we call for you, you better come. If you don't
that's fine, you'll one day eventually slip up." Tyki smirked and I heard the
clink of his lighter from him lighting up a cigarette. The smoke from it when
he blew it into my face stung, but I was too numb to really care anymore. They
eventually left and I just laid there curling into as tight of a ball as
possible. Eventually the bleeding stopped since they only carved deep enough to
create a scar. I walked into what was a bathroom and wiped the dust from the
mirror seeing an upside down star with a line going down to my cheek now on my
forehead and face. My breathing sped up and I began crying as I fell down to my
knees wrapping my arms around myself. I needed to get back to the school and
quickly before Kanda and them get back there. I know deep down Lenalee didn't
abandon me and just went to get help. I was just so scared at that moment my
thoughts went south. Lifting the hood to my hoodie over my head I slowly exited
the building keeping out of site as much as possible knowing the road to the
school wasn't too far.
"Allen?!" My heart stopped again when I heard Lenalee's voice and she ran to in
front of me.
"Lavi and Kanda are searching through town for you. I'll call them and we'll
meet them back at the school." She said and I nodded my head keeping it low so
she wouldn't see.
"Can we go right now please...away from here." I begged wrapping my arms around
myself again hearing the sobs beginning to build up once more.
"Alright, come on." She said wrapping her arms around my shoulders and over to
a cab she had jumped out of and helped me in before getting in herself telling
the driver where to go. Next she was on the phone with Lavi and Kanda telling
them she had found me and that something was wrong.
"Allen...do you need medical attention?" She asked still on the phone with
Kanda and I chocked on the sob that broke through. "Right, sir change of
destination please take me to the nearest hospital." She suddenly said and I
could hear the buzz of Kanda's voice from her phone.
"I want papa and mama! Why...why..." I began to ramble my hand covering the new
scar and I began to rock back and forth. Lenalee wrapped her arms around me and
pulled me into her.
"Shh everything is going to be okay, my brother already knows the situation.
Once at the hospital I will call him and have him meet us there okay?" I could
only nod my head letting her comfort me as the driver sped to the hospital.
Somehow Kanda and Lavi had reached the place before we had and the three of
them led me inside. I refused to show anyone until I absolutely had to and that
wasn't until the doctor came to our room. Kanda looked like he was going to
kill someone, Lavi and Lenalee shared looks of horror then sadness.
"Does it hurt Allen?" The doctor asked and I shook my head no, the pain stopped
a half way through the incision. I had side glanced into the mirror that was in
the room and noticed I also had a bruise on each cheek from Road slapping and
backhanding me. All that need to be down was for the doctors to clean me up a
bit prescribe some antibacterial cream and some pain meds. We filled them right
there and waited in the waiting area.
"Allen...?" Lenalee began and I stood up abruptly walking away a bit trying to
get my bearings somewhat before answering her.
"Yes, I am the Allen Noah you were going on about. That isn't my true name,
Allen Walker is my real name. Life with that family isn't what it's cracked up
to be. You can never run from them and stay hidden. I was lucky to escape but
they've made it obvious today that I still belong to them even after what my
uncle did to me a year ago!" I said pacing back and forth until a pair of arms
encircled around me holding me in place.
"Stop Allen, it's over and they're not going to get you! I promise on my life I
will not let them hurt you again!" Kanda said, I bit my lip and pulled away
from him and let out a sigh.
"I'll show you the secret of my past, the reason why I left them and why I hate
them so much!" I said breathing heavily from being so worked up. I fisted my
one hand before pushing the sleeve up my arm revealing red skin from the burn I
had gotten.
"Oh my god." Lenalee said jumping from her chair and rushing over wrapping her
arms around me.
"I'm sorry Lenalee." I said and she only shook her head.
"No I'm sorry for not being able to keep you away from those people." She said
stepping back from tears falling from her eyes,
"If you would have tried they would have hurt you as well. I wouldn't want that
to happen, you have no idea what they are capable of." I told her as I roll my
sleeve back down. Soon Lavi was standing with us.
"I'm with Kanda on this one, no matter what happens we will not let them touch
you again, even if it threatens our own life." He explained patting me on the
head. Not long after my prescriptions were ready and we headed out of the
hospital where we saw a car waiting with a man with long red hair. I froze in
spot again taking a hold of Kanda's hand. The very person I had been trying to
get in contact with was now standing there.
"I already contacted your brother Lenalee I'm taking you lot back to the
school. Allen you're up front we have to talk." The man said and I could only
groan.
"Whatever you say Cross." I mutter not releasing Kanda's hand until we were
climbing into the car.
"Well your cousins certainly did a number on you that's for sure. Lulu Bell
sent me the photo's of what Adam did to your arm. I'm already working with
Lvellie, your case worker to put a restraining order on the Noah family. We
know it won't stop them but at least you will be able to threaten them with the
police if they appraoch you." Cross explained and I could only roll my eyes.
This man was my godfather and honestly he was fucking annoying to be.
"Cross no offense but those people need to go to jail, that would definitely
ensure my safety or better yet...they need to disappear." I said and I watch as
Cross's smile grew wicked.
"That could be arranged." He smirked and I glared.
"You are NOT going to call your girlfriends family! Just because you have a
girlfriend who's family is the chinese mafia doesn't mean you can abuse their
power!" I snapped and I knew I would be explaining this stuff later to my new
friends.
"It was a suggestion Allen, think it over you may like your decision in the
long run afterwards. But on a different note I now have full custody over you
and your funds from your father and mother have been transferred over to you."
He said and he kept on going on and on about random shit. Taking a deep breath
I noticed Kanda was starring at me through the side view mirror. The drive was
thankfully short and both Kanda and I ran from the car quickly since Lavi and
Cross had suddenly became really close friends. In our room though I didn't
make it to the bed before I had collapsed to the floor in hysterics again my
fingers digging into my hair. Kanda was over to me in an instant his arms
wrapped around me holding me close to him.
"Everything is alright Allen, they can't get to you anymore." He said rocking
me side to side as I clutched onto him.
***** Chapter 4 *****
~Allen's POV~
It was Monday morning and that meant starting my first day at my new school.
After the incident with my psychotic family the news spread around the school
like wild fire...no thanks to Lavi actually. I'll have to thank Lenalee today
for beating his ass! Dinner that fateful night was hell with all the stares and
pitied looks, I ended up only eating half my meal before leaving and retiring
back here where I've been since. Kanda has been a real friend and put up with
staying by my side after everything happened. He even got into all the faces of
the students that dinner to stop starring and mind their own business. Even
though it only worked for a moment I was very grateful for it. Lenalee helped
me with mapping out my schedule on the school map just in case I get separated
from Lavi, Kanda or her. I had at least one of them in each of my classes. I
also found out that Cross was the athletics teacher and that made me groan for
about an hour after finding out. Not to mention he's now my guardian after the
whole shit fall with my Uncel Adam. Lately I've considered changing my cell
phone number now because the deranged twins will call every so often, or Tyki,
even Road has, but because I enjoy speaking with Lulu Bell I keep it open. Hell
I've even answered the phone to speak to Skyn and Wisely. Everyone else I have
saved their number just to ensure I don't accidenatlly answer them. I tried
speaking to my Uncle Adam, but that was just too painful and I make sure to
ignore him to. Much to Cross's dismay I have dropped any charges being made
against my family just so I can put it in my past and forget about it. Kanda
even agrees I was stupid to do that, but he understands with the position I am.
He really is a good friend.
"As much as you are going to hate it Allen, but you do need to get out of bed
and start getting ready for class. Breakfast starts in 20 minutes and classes
begin in another 40 minutes after that." Lavi said coming out of the bathroom
in the school uniform with which was black with red outlines, while the girls
was black with silverish white outlines. I could only groan, but I complied and
got up and began getting changed still half way asleep but I was slowly waking
up, Kanda was already finished with getting ready and was setting up his books
for the day. The school was different, first half of the week is one half of
your schedule then the second half of the week was the rest of your classes. I
guess it was so you weren't carrying all of your books everywhere since there
were no lockers in this school accept for the gym lockers. Gym was why I was
stalling with getting ready, it was my first class of the day, but I had Lavi
in it with me, but I have this feeling he was going to go off with some friends
and I'd be left alone. Yep I had a very strong feeling of that happening.
"Allen you really need to stop spacing out or Komui will really have you seeing
the school psychologist and I know you don't want that. Don't get me wrong the
woman is a nice lady but still you're like me, you don't want to talk about
it." Kanda said resting his hand onto my shoulder.
"Sorry, I'm still not completely normal from the other day. I want to thank you
for staying by me, I was probably very boring company." I said and he only
sighed before using his hand to ruffle my already messy white hair.
"Don't fret over it, other than Lavi and Lenalee I have no one else to hang out
with. I don't mind being by your side if you need it. Just don't expect it
every time." He teased before heading back over to his book bag and took a seat
waiting for Lavi and I to finish getting ready. I finished with slipping on
gloves and brushing out my white hair before waiting with Kanda by the door for
Lavi who was in my eyes taking forever like a girl.
"Oh my, Lavi is still the chick in this dorm. You two go on ahead we'll meet up
with you when he's done pampering." Lenalee smiled after walking into the room.
Kanda and I shared a look before deciding to head off neither of us wanting to
watch a soon to come make out session between the two obvious love birds who
were supposedly not dating. Could have fooled me.
"Today I'll try not to let any stares bother me, I'm going to have to get used
it anyways for going into town and such." I said suddenly just to bring up
conversation in this ever boding silence. I don't mind silence but if I don't
make some sort of conversation then I'll be left to my dark thoughts.
"And if its starts bothering you let me know and I'll get up into who's ever
face just to make a point for people to stop being assholes." Kanda said and I
felt like smacking myself in the face...I did anyways careful not to hit the
healing scar.
"Please don't it'll just make things more awkward. I'll deal with it, but lets
see if I can ignore it first." I said smiling my best up at Kanda as we walked
into the cafeteria and I felt like running away in an instant. Once again every
single persons eyes were on me just starring and some whispering to one
another. I groaned and hid my scar with my hand instantly making my way towards
the food line.
"Oh yea you're ignoring it real well." Kanda half way snapped.
"It's not my fault that I hate attention!" I whined still hiding my face
feeling like I wanted to cry. I wasn't expecting everyone to be starring. Today
was really turning out to be one bitch of a day, and Kanda seemed to be a
ticking time bomb.
"OI! If any of you have something to say then say it if not stop fucking
starring or I'll punch you all in the face!" Yep he was bound to explode, but
sadly he lasted until I left the room the other night.
"Mind your own fucking business Kanda if the kid has a problem with it him let
him say it!" One kid stood up and I stepped forward before Kanda could attack.
"I want everyone to stop starring like I'm some sort of freak show. Talk behind
my back I don't care just...stop starring!" I said trying not to hiss my words
out, some people really could be worried and I didn't want to seem like an ass.
The kid just starred at me with a surprised look and I spun around back into
the line since it was my turn and ordered a few buttered toasts with some earl
grey tea. Even Kanda's face was etched with shock at what I did.
"Don't you start starring to Kanda. I may be scrawny and small but I can hold
my own y'know." I said waiting for him to order his food since we had this
thing of waiting at the same time.
"Looks like I was right, you are full of surprises. Just don't turn around and
go all Hulk on me." He joked before ordering his own food. I narrowed my eyes
at his comment before sighing and letting out a dry laugh.
"I won't go all green beast on you, but if I have to I will kick someones ass
if I'm challenged." I said brushing my fingers through my hair as our food and
drinks were handed to us and we went straight for the table. This time I made
sure to sit in the chair with my back to everyone. My day was starting off
peachy and was only going to get worst with me scheduled to meet with my case
worker Malcom Lvellie about my living conditions with the Noah Family. Him, his
assistant Howard Link and my god father Cross were all trying to convince me to
press charges. I just didn't want to deal with any of the bullshit. And if they
hadn't realized these people were my only living relatives and I do want to one
day reconnect and start over with them, pressing charges will destroy all of
that!
"You're spacing out again Allen. What the hell are you thinking about?" Kanda
suddenly asked.
'Damn it he caught me again!' I thought and let out a sigh taking a sip of my
tea.
"I have to meet up with my case worker and his assistant today after lunch. The
two of them plus Cross are still trying to get me to press charges against my
family. How many times do I have to say no before they get it?!" I groan
resting my elbow onto the table and my cheek into my elbow.
"They will never stop asking. Eventually they'll stop showing up but they will
never truly stop calling to ask because they think they know what is in your
best interest. Been there done that, it's why I only give out my number to
trust people you, Lenalee and Lavi. I have someone I'm running from to but
unfortunately its not family." Kanda explained and I just sat there listening
to him.
"Ex-boyfriend?" I asked and he simply nodded his head.
"Yea he got involved with this gang called Akuma and changed drastically and
began to drag me into it. I was lucky to get out while I did. I've been under
hiding since I was 14. So I know exactly what you're going through so you're
not alone, but with you...you have a chance for it to get better." He explained
and I sighed.
"It won't ever get better, tolerable but...never better sadly. Things will only
get better if my uncle were to find his son my cousin Neah. His disappearance
is what caused his insanity." I explained and I watch as he sat and listened.
"Sounds as if you two were meant to meet." Lavi joked as him and Lenalee walked
up and took their seats.
"There is no such thing as fate!" Kanda growled glaring at the red head.
"Really now Kanda but I can see the red string of fate clearly on each of your
pinkies linking you two." Lenalee giggled and I groaned taking another bite of
my toast as Kanda somewhat exploded playfully on Lenalee about her and Lavi
being tied to one another. I laughed as the two paled and instantly began
denying everything. I shook my head at their antics and finished my food at the
same time as Kanda.
"We'll see you two later." Kanda called helping me from my chair by the arm
before the both of us headed out of the cafeteria, luckily no one starred as we
walked out, I let out a silent sigh of relief. Our first class was gym and we
were the first in the locker room and changed into the sweat pants and t-shirt,
I wore the winter gym jacket so I could hide my arm. I don't care if I burn up,
its worth not showing it. Kanda said to be careful as to not pass out since
today was to be a hot day outside,but I told him I'd be fine. When class did
finally start I believe everyone wanted to kill Cross, running around the
entire perimeter of the school including the trail at the back of the school. I
was unfortunately not part of the first group which was who Kanda had to start
with, damn him Cross! Kanda hadn't been kidding about it being hot outside, but
I still refuse to remove the jacket and I prepared with the second group to get
ready to run.
"Begin!" Cross shouted and we took off, I kept a steady pace and also kept to
the back of the group even when the final group passed me. The heat slowed me
down tremendously, but it got me to being alone running. Once I had reached
inside of the trail I had to stop from stumbling and falling to my knees.
"Fuck everyone for being right." I muttered as everything became blurry and my
breathing speeding up and becoming heavier. I staggered back to my feet and
began at first walking before slowly picking up in speed, I didn't get too far
before stumbling again and I was lucky my shoulder hit a tree stopping my fall.
"Damn it! I will not pass out, it's not hot out!" I growled to myself before
allowing myself to slid down the tree leaning my head back starring up at the
sky through the branches of the trees.
Take it easy for a while Allen. Don't push yourself okay? You're injury may be
minor but you did loose some blood according to your records.
Lulu Bells voice rang through my head from the phone call the night before. She
did care for me a lot and it would probably be best not to worry her so much.
Taking in a large breath I steadied my breathing and got back up to my feet
taking off into a jog, making sure to keep my breathing even. I slowed to a
stop when I noticed Kanda standing there leaned up against a tree at the trail
exit. Well at least I know he for one would never be abandoning me any time
soon.
"You didn't have to wait for me Kanda." I said once I caught up to him and he
only smirked.
"I told you, you were going to pass out." He said ruffling my hair once again
with his hand.
"I didn't pass out, just sat to take a break." I retorted instantly trying to
fix my hair as we began walking back to the gym.
"Yea whatever you say Moyashi." Well that was a new word.
"What does Moyashi mean?" I asked, having this dying feeling I wasn't going to
like the answer.
"It means bean sprout." He said smugly and I felt myself twitch.
"I am not short!" I shouted and he began laughing before jogging again and I
followed to keep up with him.
"Yes you are, but that's a good thing." He said and I only rolled my eyes, both
of us jogged into the gym at the same time to see Cross on a rampage yelling at
the other students to keep exorcising. We hadn't been noticed and the both of
us quickly slipped out of the gym again and decided on taking the other outside
door which led to the locker room.
"That man is psychotic." Kanda said shacking his head the both of us already
beginning to change back into our normal clothes.
"You have no idea. He's not as bad as the Noah Family, but what makes him worst
he will cause you harm not care with getting caught cause his excuse is that's
manner building training." I explained and Kanda's eyes were once again that
day wide and boring into me.
"Has anyone ever told you that your shocked expressions are scary as shit?" I
asked causing the dark haired boy to begin laughing. I made sure my long
sleeved shirt and gloves were on first before putting on the uniform pants. I
was barely finished with buttoning and zipping up my pants when I was suddenly
spun around and pressed against the lockers by Kanda.
"I can't resist you anymore Allen. I don't know why, I just have to have you."
He whispered his breath dancing across the skin of my neck.
"You know Kanda you're not easy to resist yourself." I breathed out my hands
clutching onto the fabric of his under shirt.
"Then why are we not starting this?" He asked and I chuckled dryly.
"You were the one speaking words of taking one step at a time." I said and her
smirked his lips inches from my own.
"Fuck one step at a time." He hissed and then his lips were upon mine in a
bruising kiss, I eagerly kissed him back running my hands up his chest and
snacking them around his neck while his fingers were pushed into my hair. We
both battled for dominance fiercely and by the time we broke apart neither of
us had won that battle.
"God Allen I want to take you right here." He said his mouth nipping at my neck
playfully. We both had to suddenly jump away when we heard the locker room door
slam open and Cross yelling about complaining boys. We each grabbed our things
and quietly put away our gym clothes and ran off to the back storage room. We
hid behind some boxes knowing that my god father was looking for us.
"Damn it! Where the fuck are those to idiots?!" We heard Cross growl out and he
left, we knew he'd check for our things next and would figure we already left.
Kanda had me sat against him as he kept hidden against the boxes.
"Lets see how quiet you are." Kanda suddenly said and my eyes widened when I
felt his hand brush me over the fabric of my pants. I let out a quiet gasp my
hands quickly grabbing onto the fabric of his pant legs my head leaning back.
"Kanda this is dangerous." I breathed out as he continued to rub.
"Who cares, I know you want this as much as I do." He whispered taking the lobe
of my ear into his mouth and began to suck and nip at the appendage. I let out
another gasp when his hands undid the button and zipper of my pants and his
hand slipped under the fabric.
"We still have another 45 minutes before class is over, remember this school
has extended classes since we only attend for classes in each half of the
week." Kanda teased making sure his breath danced over the skin of my ear. So
this is what he had planned, honestly I didn't really mind all that much.
"Ah~! Kan...da!" I moaned out as quietly as I could when his hand took hold of
my length and beagn to slowly pump it one of his fingers pressing not painfully
down over the tip.
"Yes moan for me Allen." He said kissing down and up my neck before biting onto
the skin sucking and licking on the spot. My breathing was becoming heavy again
and I had to concentrate so I would buck my hips which would cause noise. Every
now and then we would hear Cross shout for us to come out of our hiding spot,
but we were well hidden by a large tower of boxes in the corner of the storage
room.
"Please Kanda.." I began to beg feeling the building preasure getting stopped
by his single fingure which was covering my tip.
"Say you'll be mine, not forever because we never know. But say that we can
date." He whispered into my ear leaving chaste kisses on my cheek.
"Yes...I'll be your Kanda." I moaned out quietly turning my head so I can see
him a bit better. I watched as a smile graced Kanda's lips before he kissed me
moving us so I was lying on my back and he was towering over me his free hand
pushing my shirt up soon right as he released his hold around me and came,
moaning loudly into our kiss. We would have been caught if we hadn't been
kissing.
"Looks like Lenalee won't be getting her match making fun." He said and I
laughed a bit as he found a stray towel and he helped me clean myself up and he
cleaned his hand.
"Come on he sounds like to be at the front of the locker room we can slip out
through the side doors." He said and I nodded my head and kept as close behind
him as possible. Cross was in the doorway which led out to the gym his back to
us. We silently slipped out the back locker room doors into the hallway and
took a run for it before the door could shut and give us away, we ran until we
were back at our room.
"At least we both have study room next period, I have no plans on going to it."
Kanda laughed once we were back in our rooms. I joined in laughing with him
both of us sitting on the floor backs against the closed dorm door.
"My thoughts exactly!" I said and gave him one of my smirks and he arched his
eyebrow at me.
"Let me give back to you what you've given me." I said straddling his hips up
on my knees, my face inches from his looking down into his eyes.
"What do you have in mind Allen?" He asked and and I kissed him using my hands
to slowly pulling his white hair ribbon undone letting his hair cascade around
his shoulders as my fingers pushed into his silky tresses. Kanda's hands
gripped onto my waist as he deepened the kiss licking my bottom lip with his
tongue, I opened my mouth allowing him entrance which he accepted greedily.
"Mine." He whispered once pulling away and I smirked and began kissing down his
neck my hands hurriedly and smoothly beginning to unbutton his school shirt
then proceeded to pull his white under shirt up off of him. My hands danced
over the skin of his chests continuing their decent as I continued kissing down
his chest my hands reached the hem of his pants. Running my fingers along his
skin around the hem before running them back along and this time I slowly undid
the buttons of his pants, unzipping them even slowly.
"Allen...what're you..." Kanda breathed as I slipped my hand into his boxers
and pulled his erect member out. I breathed a hot breath over him and I heard
him suck in a quick breath. I smirked then took him completely into my mouth
descending my mouth all the way down till his tip touched the back of my mouth.
I purposely hummed getting another noisy reaction from him and I slowly bobbed
my head up and down at the same time sucking on him.
"Fuck...Allen!" He moaned, hearing a thud I knew he threw his head back against
the door. His hands tangled into my hair and I contiued to move my head up and
down sucking and twirling my tongue around him. Just like me it didn't take him
long to come and that meant neither of us had been sexually active for a long
time.
"I don't want to even know where you learned that!" He breathed out heavily as
I smirked at him licking my lips.
"Oh I didn't learn anywhere I taught myself and you're the first for me to try
it on actually." I explained and he just starred at me with arched eyebrows.
"I don't want to know come on." He said standing up fixing himself then led me
over to his bed bringing me down with him.
"So, does this make us official?" I asked as I snuggled into him.
"I sure hope so it does!" He said wrapping his arms protectively around me.
"I'm glade, well I'm taking a nap. Forget about school today I just want to lie
here with you." I yawned feeling my eyes becoming heavy.
"That's fine I'll nap with you and then later go with you to deal with your
case worker." He yawned as well and I smiled letting myself fall into a sleep.
When I opened my eyes I was in a familiar place I hadn't been in since I was a
child. It was the world in between life and death. It was the reason why Wisely
couldn't lock onto me and I couldn't lock onto him. We both could travel to
this world. Standing before me though wasn't Wisely but Neah Noah, my cousin
who had been missing.
"Allen you're in grave danger." He suddenly said and I felt a strike of fear go
through me.
"Neah?! What do you mean and where are you?! Your father is worried sick over
you!" I shouted and began running towards him, but he would never get any
closer.
"It's already too late for me I'll be dead soon. If you wish to live never
leave Kanda's side he'll be able to protect you! They want you Allen, they want
you because your abilities are stronger than Wisely's and they know!" Neah kept
explaining and I kept running towards him.
"Who is after me Neah?! What are you talking about?!" I shouted.
"Akuma, they want you like they wanted me." He said and I froze remember Kanda
mentioning that word.
"A boy name Alma Karma will be after you, he will be coming for you Allen."
Neah said.
"Who is Alma?! And what do they want from me?!" I asked reaching my hand out to
him, but he was so far away.
"Ask Kanda about that person. And they know you can lead them to the relic
which gives eternal life. The amulet of everlasting breath." Neah explained and
the space between us stopped and he slowly began to vanish.
I stopped running and shielded myself as there was a bright light, signaling he
had either gone back to his body or had moved on. And as I spun around to allow
myself to return, Wisely and I came face to face.
I jumped up awake screaming out Neah's name it happened so fast. My eyes were
wide and tears were falling from them. Sweat beaded down my face and I rocked
back and forth. I felt arms circle around me holding me close like before.
"Allen? What happened? Are you alright?" Kanda asked, two shadows hovered over
us and I knew Lenalee and Lavi were there as well.
"Kanda, this is going to sound strange but please don't think I'm
crazy...but...who is Alma?" I asked and I felt him stiffen, looking up I saw
that his eyes were wide in shock.
"Allen how do you know that name?" Lenalee asked very calmly.
"Neah...just now dragged me into the realm between life and death and told me.
He said he was being sent to retrieve me." I said.
"Why would Akuma want you?" Lavi asked his arms crossing and I could feel his
stare becoming hateful.
"Lavi, Lenalee stop it! I only told him about Akuma and never once mentioned
Alma's name. Allen what do they want from you? Did Neah tell you?" Kanda asked
gently grabbing each of my cheeks and forced me to look at him.
"Because of my ability being more advanced than Wisely's, they want me so that
I can locate the Amulet of Everlasting Breath for them." I explained and Kanda
cursed under his breath.
"Fuck so you're the person they've wanted. You're psychic nickname wouldn't
happen to be..."
"Red?" I interrupted him and his eyes widened before and pulled me into his
arms tightly.
"I won't let them take you away! They'll only kill you after they're done with
you!" Kanda said before kissing me harshly.
"Then we need to get out of here, most likely he already knows where I am and
if anything is probably already here." I said wrapping my arms around Kanda.
"Lenalee, go pack your things you're leaving with us. Lavi, you, me and Allen
will start packing as well. Now!" Kanda said and we all began moving. I was
already half way through when my phone went off and I didn't even have to look
to see to know who it was.
"I already know Wisely, we're coming but we won't be able to stay long. Tell
uncle nothing, I'll explain everything!" I said and hung up before I even got
an answer and finished packing.
"Looks like we're meeting the entirety of your psychotic family huh?" Lavi
asked and I just sat on my bed starring into my lap as they finished packing.
Lenalee soon joined us and we sat waiting for the second bell to ring signaling
that lunch had begun.
"Allen Walker could you please come to the front office for a visitor"
We knew it was a trap the moment we heard for me called by Komui's voice over
the PA system, because we knew it wasn't my case worker. He wasn't to be here
till after lunch. Lenalee took out her phone and began texting away and we knew
she was asking her brother. The moment the second bell rang we headed out and
went down the steps that normally led up to the stairs.
"Komui said it's some boy named Alma Karma...we need to go now." Lenalee said
and we ran across the school lawn and over to a black SUV climbing in. Lavi
started it up instantly and we took off. Just as I was hoping to start a normal
life, shit like this had to start up once again.
 
***** Chapter 5 *****
~Allen's POV~
We were standing at the port of Calais, France waiting for Kanda and Lavi to
get back to us with our boat tickets. I didn't really want to deal with any
people at the moment since we were going to be going to the Noah Estate in the
next. I wasn't too excited since my new friends would be meeting the extended
family and I had this feeling that Lenalee was still a bit of a fangirl since
she's been texting away on her phone. I hope with her brother and no one else.
The moment my phone rang I answered it.
"Yes?" I said into the speaker walking away from Lenalee a bit.
'Papa Adam wants to know how many people will be coming with you.' Came Road's
voice and I groaned that it was her of all people calling me.
"There will be four of us in total. Don't make anything like an extended stay
we won't be staying long, only until I have another dream. Even then we're
probably going to be staying at a hotel. So no rooms need to be prepared." I
hissed wanting so much to hang up on her.
'Look Allen, we're sorry what we did to you okay? We were just following
ord...' She began but I cut her off.
"Don't you dare go on about anything with orders! You four could have easily
threatened me and walked away and just tell Adam you carried out the
punishment. But no all you had to continue to prove how much of monsters most
of you have become! Listen Road, and anyone else who maybe listening cause I
know you have me on speaker. I refuse to stay in that house got that?!" I
shouted into the phone before hanging it up. My nerves were going haywire and I
just wanted to lie down, but I was honestly too afraid to. I felt arms circle
around me and I took a deep breath leaning my head back and looking up at
Kanda.
"Don't let them get under your skin, you have friends with you. Nothing bad is
going to happen. When we get onto the boat there is somethings I must let you
know until then lets get back to Lavi and Lenalee okay?" Kanda asked and I
nodded my hand, both of us took hold of each others hand and we walked over to
the other two.
"Everything alright Allen?" Lenalee asked and I nodded me.
"Yea, it's just I thought I was finally done running, but here I am on the run.
And not only that I'm being chased into the arms of my original tormentors.
Unfortunately they are the only ones who can help us right now. What all has
your brother been telling you?" I asked her back hoping nothing bad happened.
"They had to evacuate the entire school, whoever was looking for you had some
friends and they attacked the school. Some students are injured but none are
dead. He's glad we got out and tells us not to stop running until these people
are caught." Lenalee explained as we were being ushered to begin boarding the
boat.
"These people don't get caught. It's either kill them or you'll be killed."
Kanda explained as we were boarding the boat I brushed into a person and froze
as my vision went black and a few faces came into my view, the flashes caused
me to sway a bit and stumble into the wall.
"Allen?!" Lavi shouted, I stayed leaning there my forehead in my hand and
breathing heavily.
"I'm fine, let's just get to the room and stay there okay?" I asked and the
three of them nodded their heads and I was kept securely in the middle of them,
encircled in Kanda's arms. There was a chance the ones looking for me were on
the boat and I had possibly just bumped into one. The moment I got into the
room I pulled out a notebook and began drawing six faces. It was all I knew at
this very moment.
"Kanda are any of these people familiar?" I asked holding the notebook up for
the three of them to see. I watch as Kanda's face pales and I quickly shut the
book and toss it away from me.
"I'm for once not going crazy...wait...this proves that every time this has
happened I was not crazy. Why is this shit happening again to me?!" I rambled
hugging my knees and began rocking back and forth. I felt my bed dip and arms
around me once more.
"Those were the six leaders of Akuma. Alma is the head person now. He over ran
and killed the last person who had been in charge. You just said again, how
long have you been seeing these faces?" He asked and I took deep breaths.
"For the past three years. I knew I wasn't going crazy! Especially after I came
home to my parents dead, I knew it was a warning but no one believed me. Not
even Wisely and he's just like me. Everyone thought I was trying to get
attention and soon the abuse started because Neah had gone missing to prove to
me that I was over reacting. It's all real Kanda...it's all fucking real!" I
cried feeling my body beginning to shack violently.
"You're not crazy Allen and anyone who says you are needs a reality check. I
will protect you from Akuma, I won't let them take away someone else." Kanda
said Lenalee soon walked over and sat on the edge of the bed with Kanda and I.
"So this is real and all of us are in danger either from being a target or
being associated with the target. My brother just said he knew that person was
not normal by any means. He wants us to go into hiding." She said and I began
shacking my head rapidly no.
"If we do that they will find Allen more quickly we have to be careful about
this Lenalee." Kanda said with a sigh and I closed the notebook with the faces
on it.
"Well we have to think of something! We can't just keep running, they're going
to one day catch up to us and then what?!" Lenalee shouted standing to her feet
and I let out a sigh.
"How about Lavi and you go back to the school after we get to the Noah Estate.
We'll be safe there for a while...Kanda you should go back to the school as
well. I won't drag anyone into this." I said and froze in shock when I was
slapped across the face.
"Don't you dare tell us to go away Allen! We're not going anywhere without you
so don't you dare tell us to go!" Lenalee screamed at me after Kanda had pushed
her back.
"Lavi take him out, let me talk to her." Kanda said quickly and I let the red
head usher me out, I already had tears running down my face by the time him and
I reached the head of the boat.
"She didn't mean it Allen. This whole situation is just new for us, we had a
friend named Miranda get taken and never seen or heard from again by Akuma.
That's how we met Kanda. By the time we ran into him he was beaten and broken.
Took us a while to get him normal again." Lavi explained leaning on the railing
looking over the ship. We had already set sail and would be at the coast of the
United Kingdom shortly.
"I know, its just her slap took me by surprise is all, and besides family she
is the first to have ever hit me really. I just wanted to give everyone a
chance to decide to leave instead of getting dragged into something that will
most likely ruin their lives." I said with a sigh leaning against the railing
with my back looking down to the floor.
"We understand...Question, do you think your cousin Neah is alive? Or do you
think he's actually dead?" Lavi then asked me and I sighed.
"Hard to say, if I am dragged to the realm of the dead while awake then he's
alive. But if I'm always ever pulled in while asleep then it's safe to say he
is probably dead. Neah and I were close in abilities, but I was stronger
because I had reign over both light and darkness where he only reigned over
darkness." I answered closing my eyes before opening till they were slightly
slitted open.
"Allen what all can you do ability wise?" Lavi asked and I sighed staying
silent, I had no idea how to answer without having to overall show him. I was
going to answer but the moment I lifted my head I froze. Standing there wearing
a black hoodie with the hood pulled over his head was the face of one of the
Akuma Leaders. He had green hair in an odd side bow style and two dots on his
forehead. He starred right at me with a mocking smile. I knew we had no time to
get away as five others had joined him, one with short black hair which was
unruly with long sideburns accenting his face along with a scar going over the
bridge of his nose. This was Alma, I just knew it. No more staying normal I
guess.
'Kanda...can you hear me?!' I established a telepathic link with my new
boyfriend.
'Allen...What the hell...?!' Obviously he's be a bit freaked out.
'Listen I also have it so Lenalee and Lavi can hear me as well. Somehow the
Akuma caught up to us from the school. I have a green haired guy and Alma
starring right at me with the other 4. Look, Kanda, Lenalee gather our things
and get to the stern of the boat. Judging from the distance wait 10 minutes
then jump off and swim to sure.' I explained and I earned a slight nod from
Lavi and a confirmation from Kanda and knew they'd be in position very soon.
"You asked about my abilities Lavi...well this will be your first time
witnessing them. It's so much easier to explain by showing." I said and began
to walk forward as did Alma the both of us meeting each other at the half way
point.
"Looks as if we have caught you Tenshi." Alma smirked and I felt my eyes
narrow.
"You haven't caught me yet Akuma...But I will show you why you should never
attack me or my friends." I hissed taking a step back. Narrowing his eyes at
me, suddenly Alma had a lite light in his hand and I had a wall of fire coming
at me. Jumping back I had one hand stretched out in front of me an invisible
wall keeping the fire held back.
"So he's a fire user to. Let me Allen." Lavi suddenly said pulling a lighter in
the shape of a tiny hammer from each of his pockets and lit them and suddenly
each of his hands were engulfed and I was tossed the lighters while he used a
double fire wall to push back Alma's single fire wall.
"Lavi?!" I panicked backing till my back hit the railing once more.
"ALLEN! To your right!' Lavi suddenly screamed I spun to the side to see a
large man with black hair in a topknot hair style also with two dots on his
forehead coming at me. I had no time to react.
"Back off asshole!" Someone yelled before I was letting out a scream two rivers
of electricity zooming past me and forcing the person to jump back. I soon had
an arm go protectively around me and pull me into a hard chest.
"Kanda!" I said happily.
"Oh well if it's not a pleasant surprise. Our old comrade Yu Kanda." The large
man said, the fire battle had stopped and Alma began to laugh maniacally.
"Kanda do you really believe you'll be able to protect this one like you tried
protecting that fortune teller Mei-Ling?" Alma laughed and I watched as Kanda's
face turned into a deep scowl.
"Fuck you Alma. This time will be different!" Kanda hissed pulling me back to
the railing Lavi following closely I peered over the edge and noticed that
Lenalee was already in the water in a propeller type inflatable life boat.
'Who exactly are my new friends?!' I thought and I watched as Alma smirked.
"Who are they indeed Allen." He then said and I broke from Kanda a bit and took
a few steps forward before my wrist was grabbed by Kanda.
"Stay out of my head!" I screamed at him my invisible wall pushing out of me
and sending the group back a bit. Turning my head sharply I allowed the large
man to be sent back as well.
"Time to go." Kanda said quickly before grabbing me up into his arms him and
Lavi jumping over the boat the three of us landing in the water. I immediately
swam up but the moment I had taken a breath of air I was brought right back
down under the water. I noticed an invisible hand coming off of the boat and
knew one of the Akuma's had to be behind it.
'I won't be take by you Alma!' I chanted in my head curling into a ball and
prayed Lenalee and the life boat were far away enough as I engulfed myself in a
sphere of my invisible before pushing it out in all directions hitting the boat
forcing it to turn and face a different direction now. Once I was free from
whatever was holding me I swam up to see that Kanda and Lavi were barely able
to keep the lifeboat normal.
"Allen!" Kanda shouted and I began swimming over taking his outstretched hand
once I was close enough to and was pulled up into the boat.
"What the HELL was that?!" Lenalee screamed and I could only laugh as Lavi
started up the life boat and we sped off towards the United Kingdom.
"That was only a taste of the abilities I could, I stayed on the defense I
didn't feel like risking anyone getting hurt." I said and she only sighed
before hugging me.
"At least you're okay, I don't have to heal you." She said sitting back again.
"So all of you have abilities?" I asked and each one of my companions had a
guilty look. I could only smile then crawled over to Kanda and curled into his
lap shivering. It was cold and he was abnormally warm.
"Why are you so warm?" I whisper, but he never answers me and wraps his arms
securely around me. We finally reach the shore after a 15 minute ride and the
moment we climb out I notice a black car up by the road a blond standing
outside of it with crossed arms.
"It can't be." I gawked taking my bag from Kanda and the four of us jog over to
the car and I see that it really is Lulu Bell.
"Well that was quite a show you kids, things are getting interesting. Hope in
we have an hour drive before we get to the house." She said and we all climb
into the and begin the drive towards the Estate.
"So how safe is this Estate of yours Mrs. Lulu?" Lavi asked leaning over the
middle of the car looking up at my aunt.
"It's kept Allen safe from Akuma since his parents died. What has also kept him
safe is his obliviousness to the whole situation and to who is after him." She
explained and that's when it clicked.
"So you all pretended to think I was crazy just so I would be safe?!" I
shrieked, Lulu Bell didn't say anything.
"That's actually smart...what about the hurting him part?" Kanda asked and I
turned my head to shoot him a warning glare. He only smiled at me smugly. Well
its better now that this question comes up than later to my uncle.
"That part was unfortunately collateral damage. He was never to be harmed cause
that could cause his abilities to run wild and go out of control." She
explained and I sighed afraid that, that was going to be the answer. I soon let
my eyes slide close just so I could nap the rest of the way knowing that there
was going to be questions asked about me, and I knew each question would
irritate me, so sleep sounded real nice. I was happy I wasn't disturbed within
my dreams and everything was black. I woke up with Kanda slightly shacking me
and I saw we had arrived to the estate. I instantly groaned and buried my head
into the crook of Kanda's neck.
"I know Mayashi but we need to get inside your aunt is waiting." He said and I
nodded my head letting out a final yawn before leaning forward and lightly
kissing Kanda's lips. He kissed back pushing his fingers gently into my hair.
"Okay now I'm ready." I smiled letting Kanda help me out of the car and we
walked hand in hand behind Lulu Bell into the estate. Everything was quiet and
that only worried me.
"Aunt Lulu?" I asked letting go of Kanda's hand and took a step towards her. I
let out a high pitched squeal when a blur came out of no where and tackled me
with a hug to the ground.
"Damn it Road don't fucking do that!" I yelled and she only laughed sitting on
me now.
"Oh come now Allen, you know I love you!" She said happily with that crazy
smile of hers. I could see my three friends glaring into her back.
"Could have fooled me Road...Now get off!" I hissed and she thankfully did and
eagerly helped me up only to hug onto me again. I squirmed from her grip and
ran to Kanda hugging onto his arm and slightly hiding behind him.
"Allen my favorite neph...OH MY GOD WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR FACE?!" I looked up
to my uncle before turning a glare to Road.
"You mean to tell me that punishment shit was all a farce just to attack me?!"
I yelled at Road who only gave a sheepish smile.
"Dear lord what evilness." Lenalee said and Lavi nodded his head with her.
"ROAD! I said only to scare him! You four were not to touch him!" Adam scolded
the girl who only shrugged and walked off. I looked to the floor fighting back
tears that wanted to fall. So the attack was all them.
"Why?" I suddenly asked looking up to see her stop walking up the stairs.
"To mark you as a Noah so that those damned Akuma's will remember their place
and to not touch our family." She said and continued her way up the stairs. I
froze in shock. Never will I ever understand why Road and my the rest of my
cousins do the tings they do. I sighed closing my eyes, and when I opened them
to say something to my uncle I was suddenly no longer in the Estate but back on
the boat standing to the side as the large Akuma and the green haired Akuma
held Neah who was being restrained on his knees in front of Alma. We had been
on the same boat as Neah?! FUCK!
"I thought you said his abilities weren't as developed as yours Neah that if
would take both of you to find the Amulet." Alma said standing sideways to Neah
spinning a dagger on the tip of his finger.
"Well...guess I lied mother fucker. If he managed to escape Madarao hand then
its for sure you'll never have him!" Neah laughed before adverting his eyes and
looking right at me. This was a replay of what happened right after we left.
Neah had left me a message.
"When all seems to be dark, shine the light and all will be given to you." Neah
said, at that moment Alma I guess figured out what he was doing and suddenly
his hand moved in a quick movement and Neah's neck was sliced. A smile gracing
his lips as his eyes slid closed and the two had dropped him.
"NEAH!"
***** Chapter 6 *****
I couldn't get out of the memory as I was left to watch Neah die, soon the
female Akuma walked over and hovered her hand over Neah. I watched as a black
wave descended over him and slowly his wound slowly closed and he jerked awake
gasping for air. I stood their frozen in fear at knowing what they were capable
of doing. Why was Neah leaving this for me to see. I couldn't understand.
Lowering to the ground I covered my ears with my hands and tightly shut my
eyes. I wandered what my body was doing on the outside. When this happened to
Wisely he would only mumble and occasionally would scream but it depended on
what he saw. I didn't want to see anymore, send me back, send me back!
"I'm showing you this because I want you to see what will possibly become his
fate if you don't decide to give yourself up." I jumped to my feet an spun
around to see Alma standing there with his arms crossed and a smug smirk on his
face. I can only glare at him.
"Only if you release Neah and not kill him." I say having a feeling he wasn't
going to see to those terms.
"Sorry but we're a very secretive group. After we're done with any of our tools
we kill them." He smirks and scowl at him.
"Well then I won't give myself up. And any ways of getting me is using Neah. If
he dies then you shall never get me, because without me he's the only other
tool around who can get you to the location of that cursed amulet." I say
crossing my arms and began trying to find the pull back to my body. I needed to
get back quickly before something else tries to jump in instead.
"I guess Neah wasn't lying about you being as big of a genius as Wisely. You
may even be a tad bit more smarter, maybe just as smart as Neah himself. We may
have more use to the both of you even after we get the amulet. Like I told him,
you better find yourself lucky for us deciding on that. Unfortunately I will be
killing Kanda for sure for betraying me. Not only did he leave my side he chose
to date someone else" I was done listening to Alma, finding the pull I allowed
myself to flow through the tunnel of death and back into my body. My mind came
back to focus and I could hear someone loudly shouting out my name and someone
gently tapping my cheek while shouting at the person to shut their loud mouth.
"More shouting isn't going to shut the original shouter up Kanda." I said my
eyes fluttering open, everything was at first blurry, then really bright and
finally then slowly began to refocus.
"What happened you suddenly froze Allen! First your eyes went lifeless then the
slid closed and you collapsed. You were lucky to be next to Kanda who quickly
caught you. Your deranged family knew what was going on but wasn't telling us
anything!" Lavi panicked, I sighed as I watched Road and Tyki send glares
straight at Lavi then watched as Lenalee smacked Lavi in the back of the head
before proceeding in lecturing on how to not be openly rude to people when they
were standing right there. That awarded her with a few odd stares from my
family members. I decided on ignoring everyone that moment on minus Kanda who
was sitting there with me in his lap watching me with those worried eyes of
his.
"Sadly I wasn't pulled in by Neah, but by Alma himself. Your friend has some
abilities of his own. He nearly killed Neah but had that female Akuma heal him
before he could actually die. From what I can tell is he has advanced abilities
like Neah and I, so why does he need us specifically to find the amulet?" I
asked letting him help me to sitting up.
"Because, the original two who were its protectors was Mana and I. Back when we
were you and Neah's age we were chosen to protect it by our fathers. Its
something the amulet has chosen. The sons of the previous protectors shall be
its new guardians." Adam explained after stepping forward.
"Most go their entire lives only knowing about their abilities. Mana and I were
the first descendants since the first protectors to learn about the amulet,
because the Akuma first appeared on us. Now it has gone to Neah and you. As
long as one of you is alive it shall be protected...It only needs one." He
continued and I find myself starring into my lap.
"Where is the amulet?" I ask
"You already have it Allen. The amulet becomes whatever the youngest guardian
decides for it to be. You decided on it on your 5th birthday." He said and I
jump to my feet not moments later and instantly headed up the flight of stairs,
I heard Kanda, Lavi and Lenalee following closely behind. I knew the rest of my
family would catch up soon as well. I ran up the set of stair which led to what
was supposed to be an attic, but it was finished to be my room.
"Allen what's up?" Lavi asked once we were in my room. I didn't answer him,
inside a white iron bird cage sitting upon a white plush pillow was a golden
orb. It had a whitish gold cross on it.
"Timcanpy...come." I said and I watched as wings sprouted out and soon the
little ball flew over landing on my head.
"Allen...what the...what is that?" Lavi asked after backing away from me.
"A golem, it's as real as you and me. When I was five I had wandered off into
the woods with Neah behind the estate. We got lost and I had fallen down into a
gorge and couldn't get back up. Neah unfortunately had to leave me to go get a
grown up. It got dark and I was scared, that's when Timcanpy here found me and
kept me company until I was found. We had a connection instantly and he hasn't
left my side since. Best way to explain him is he's I guess a type of fairy." I
explained watching Lavi's face go from unamused to completely confused.
"Think of Timcanpy as a tiny mythical creature from a fairy tail book like a
Dragon...just ball shapped and would probably eat you out of your home." I
explained and I still got a dumbfounded look. Rolling my eyes I looked up at
Tim who then flew off of my head before us, opening his mouth and projecting a
quick image before it vanished.
"What did he show us? A overly polluted green stream?!" Lavi asked and once
more Lenalee smacked him.
"Tim are you sure that is where we need to go? You know it's dangerous for
someone like me to go!" I said walking a few steps forward and lifted my hands
up allowing him to land in them. Timcanpy only nodded his body before flying
back up and landing on my head. I looked ahead of me and out the back window of
my room which overlooked the entrance to a trail, a trail that took us deep
within the woods and would lead us to our next destination... Minehead, United
Kingdom.
"Allen?" Kanda asked stepping to next to me and I sighed leaning my forehead
onto his shoulder.
"We need to go to Minehead, a small coast town here in the United Kingdom.
There is a cave there that only our family knows about. That river we saw Lavi
is known as the river of Souls. Only those with psychi abilities can see what
it really looks like. To anyone else its just a cave river." I explained what
we were shown.
"Looks like you guys should stay here for a few days and stock up on supplies.
Adam and Lulu Bell have both ordered for the twins, Road and myself to
accompany you four. If Akuma attack then we can distract them long enough for
you four to escape. The four of us will catch up with you later after wards."
Tyki spoke walking into my room, I puffed out my cheeks and rolled my eyes. I
knew I couldn't argue with what was ordered. My family knew best with this
situation and I needed to trust them.
"Ms. Lee we heard that you're a huge fan of us Noah Kids. Road has asked for
Lavi and you to accompany her and Lulu Bell to the market to buy the supplies."
Tyki smiled slightly bowing like the gentleman he was giving all of us his sly
smile. I rolled my eyes once more. Lenalee squealed happily before grabbing
onto Lavi's hand and dragging him out of the room towards the front of the
estate most likely.
"You make the weirdest friends Allen." Tyki spoke before leaving my room, I
didn't comment on what he said and just went over shutting my door before
leaning my forehead onto it.
 
I smiled when I saw Kanda's hands placed on each side of my head. Even though
he wasn't touching me, I could feel his body heat radiating off of him. It had
to be from his ability to use electricity with his sword Mugen.
"You still hope deep down that Lavi, Lenalee and myself will choose to return
to Black Order Academy." He said and I found myself turning around so I could
look up at him, my back now leaned up against the closed door.
"I hope for you three to make your own decisions based off logical thinking and
not jumping in irrationally. I don't want to see any of my friends hurt.
Especially not you Kanda...I feel a connection deeper with you than I have ever
felt with anyone. I don't want to loose you and Alma has already threatened to
take you away from me..." I began to say but am silenced with his lips meshed
with mine. I kissed Kanda back my hands reaching up and grabbing onto the front
of his shirt as his hands dropped and his arms wrapped around my shoulders and
upper back; bringing my closer to him. I maneuvered my arms until they were
wrapped around his neck. Soon we parted, just standing there breathing heavily.
"Like I told you back at the hospital. I won't let anyone harm you or touch
you." He whispered before kissing me again this time with more passion as he
nipped at my bottom lip and I eagerly opened my mouth granting him entrance. I
allowed him to win in the fight for dominance. I felt an emotion swelling
inside me and it was so foreign to me. I heard the click to my door locking
before Kanda's arms moved to just under my behind and lifted me up forcing me
to wrap my legs around him as he carried me over to my bed laying me onto my
back as he towered over me his hands slipping under my shirt. My hands began
work unbuttoning his. We each button I finished and every inch of my skin he
covered with his touches I felt the surge of electricity coming off of him and
coursing through me. We quickly removed the others shirts. We parted and just
starred at one another. Kanda sat there and let his hand gently run up my
chest, his feather touches causing my skin to twitch and spasm under him. I
reached up and cupped his cheek with my hand motioning him to come back down.
Complying with my silent plea Kanda leaned back over and we captured each
others lips our hands roaming the others bare skin as he guided me until I sat
straddling his lap. My hands untied the white ribbon that held up his hair and
my fingers combed through his now fallen hair. I let out a gasp when his mouth
left mine and he nipped at the skin of my neck. His hands perfectly cupped my
sides as he ran them up and down my sides his mouth sucking and biting on my
neck sending shivers of pleasure down my spine, I could feel gossebumps
littering my arms as my breathing sped up. His left hand moved around to the
front of my abdomen before slipping easily into the front of my pants. I let
out another gasp as he rubbed me a few times before he pulled out and laid me
once more onto my back. His lips roughly kissed mine this time as his hands
quickly worked with getting my pants off. My fingers were still tangled into
his hair. My mind was only on him and I barely noticed when my pants were
slipped off. All I could think about was the electric pulses running through my
veins as we came closer and closer, more of our skin touching than it as
before. Once his own pants were discarded I was once again guided onto his lap
but wasn't allowed to settle down onto him.
"I want to know this is what you want Allen. I don't want you do something if
you're not ready for it." Kanda whispered our breaths dancing together as our
lips were only inches apart. His hands rested on each of my cheeks.
"Kanda I have never been so sure about something my entire life." I whispered
back and once more his mouth was biting onto my neck as I felt three of his
fingers at my mouth. I began to suck on them immediately my tongue swirly
around each one. As I coated his fingers with saliva we moved against one
another each of our members brushing against each other. I let out a gasp of
pleasure while Kanda moaned deeply into my ear before nipping on my lobe
pulling the three fingers from my mouth. I let out a startled gasp when the
first finger slipped into me and as he began moving it in and out of me I bit
my lip as tiny moans escaped me especially as he moved his finger in a
clockwise circle inside me bending it in places. I let out a loud gaspy moan
when he hit a certain spot in me and he let out a small chuckle. I knew what
that meant and I knew he was about to drive me into a pleasured crazed state.
Slipping in his second finger Kanda began making scissoring motions trying to
stretch me some before adding the third finger once more playing with that
certain spot as he moved his three fingers in and out of me at different times
causing my breathing to become irregular and hard.
I whimpered when he pulled out of me but it was replaced by his much bigger
erection as he slowly pushed into me, him hitting that certain spot instantly.
My moan was filled with both sounds of pain and pleasure. He waited a few
moments before he slowly began to move in and out of me his hands guiding my
hips as our mouths found each other again and our tongues danced. My hands
rested on his shoulders and soon had to wrap around his neck as he moved me one
last time onto my back. He pushed even deeper into me now, moans forcing their
way out as he hit that spot each time. He broke away from the deep kiss and
began kissing up and down my neck also making sure to play with my ear as he
nipped at it. I threw my head back moaning for more as continued to thrust into
me each time a little hard, each time a little faster. My hips moved with each
of his thrusts and by now there was nothing but Kanda in my mind.
No more crazy family. No more room. No more Akuma chasing us. Only Kanda.
"Kanda...please..." I begged loudly as I felt myself coming to a peak and I
knew that so was he. My fingers once again tangled themselves into his hair and
Kanda kissed me one last time as I felt him come into me and everything felt
like it was spinning this felt so good. Kanda slowly pulled out of me before
falling onto the mattress beside me pulling me into his arms tightly.
"That was...wow..." He chuckled and I chuckled with him.
"Shouldn't that be my line?" I asked looking up at him.
"Tell me you felt that...the current...the electricity?!" He asked and I smiled
sitting up a bit before lightly kissing him that spark once more igniting
between us.
"You mean that electricity?" I asked and he smirked before wrapping his arms
around me and pulling me down.
"Yes, that electricity...That...that was amazing." He said and I nodded my head
as I curled into him. We both laid there in one another arms starring out my
open window. Lavi and Lenalee had tried to come in a few times, calling for us
even. But we just laid there watching the sky change. It wasn't until Lulu Bell
came yelling through the door that we need to come down to eat and that
everyone was worried about us. We decided on a shower before getting dressed
and the entire time neither of us could stop touching the other. It was when we
left my room meeting up with an irritated Lenalee and Lavi when things changed.
ALLEN RUN!
I heard what sounded like Kanda's voice yell in my head before a loud bang. I
staggered a bit and the three stopped and stood by me waiting. Timcanpy flew
over and landed onto my shoulder as I stood there holding my head in my hand.
Lenalee kept asking me if everything was alright. I couldn't answer as pain
shot through my side, but eventually it faded.
"Allen are you okay?" Lavi finally asked and I shook myself out of my weird
state.
"Yea was suddenly dizzy." I lied, unsure of what just happened but I left it
alone. Kanda and I walked hand in hand behind the other two who also walked
hand in hand. They were a bit of a ways ahead of us when we began our deccent
down the stairs. A few steps down I froze as an image of what looked like
scrolls shoot through the front door and wrap around Lenalee and Lavi beginning
to crush them.
"Allen you're not fine. What's up?" Kanda asked a few steps below me. My
breathing began to become fast and panicked. Especially when a cracking noise
began coming from the front door.
"Lenalee, Lavi disperse!" I yelled right as scrolls burst through the wood
doors towards them. I watched as Lavi shoved Lenalee out of the way of one and
moved back, but was still caught. One had wrapped around his arm. Kanda pulled
away from me and I watched as a black red diamond appeared on each of his
wrists a sword forming from each one into his hands. I watched as Alma and the
five Akuma walk in, the larger one carrying an unconscious Neah. All I could
think was for Kanda not to say it as the female Akuma pulled a pistol from her
side.
"ALLEN RUN!" The moment the words left his mouth everything around me froze and
I felt like I was spinning. I felt a hand grab onto my wrist and yank me back
up the stairs right as I heard the bang and that pain shoot through my side.
But the pain faded as I concentrated on following behind Road as she dragged me
through the halls of the Estate. I heard the others behind me. Kanda lifted me
into his arms after Road released my hand and all of us broke free from the
back of the house and went straight for the woods.
"NEAH!" I heard Lulu Bells scream and I watched over Kanda's shoulder to see my
Uncle Adam pick her up and carry her as well. I lowered my head back down
pressed my the bottom of my palms to my temples as panic shot through me. The
pain in my waist came back and it caused me to start screaming, also because of
the voices that rang through my head.
"Damn it...Allen drop the fucking barrier we don't have time!" I heard Tyki
yell, but I couldn't stop. The images of the souls from that river appeared in
my mind again and this time they were reaching for me. The Pain in my waist now
burned and the image of Alama's sick smile flashed in and out of my vision.
"STOP IT!" I screamed and moments later my whole world went black and still.
 
***** Chapter 7 *****
~Allen's POV~
Everything was echoing around me and my entire right side burned with pain.
Concerned voices were all around me and I knew they were talking about me and I
wandered if we managed to get far from the Akuma. I was being carried that much
I could tell and from their warmth and scent I knew it was Kanda; that made me
really happy. Overall even with the pain I still felt really numb and no matter
how hard I try I couldn't get the voices nor Alma's face from my mind.
"I know you all say for us to trust you, but...if Allen really going to be
alright?" I heard Lenalee's voice, she sounded so worried and it pained me that
I was still not strong enough to open my eyes yet. Sheril probably used a
really heavy sedative this time.
"He's probably already awake and listening to us Lenalee. That sleeping drug
that we gave him is really heavily. His body will be asleep for another good
hour at least. Whatever spooked him had to be pretty bad if it triggered the
barrier that would have killed all of us plus the population in a 50 mile
radius." I heard Road explain and I inwardly cursed myself. So that's what
happened. My panic triggers activated again.
"Listen Lenalee, Allen is very different. Like all of us he was found and taken
in." Tyki spoke next and oh how I wanted to wake up this second and shut him
up!
"What do you mean by found? Wasn't his parents Mana and Caroline?" Lavi was
next to ask and I urged for no one to say anything!
"Yes and no...you see no one knows who Allen's real parents are unlike with the
rest of everyone else. All of the Noah children were taken from their families
as young toddler children by a facility called the Black Order...yes the name
of your school. There is no findings to whether or not the two are linked..."
My Uncle Adam began and everyone fell silent. It was too late now, better in
finding out now then later.
"All the kids who were taken were put in a program known as the
projects...Allen came in later on after being found in a vast wasteland we
suspect the barrier he was about to use was destroyed. He was put into the Noah
Projects, where as everyone else was put into the Innocence Projects." He
continued/
"What's the difference between the two?" Kanda asked shifting me a bit I guess
from how heavy I was.
"Here let me carry him, you've been carrying him since the Estate." I heard
Skinn say, I felt reluctance in Kanda at first but he soon handed me over to
the sweet obsessed man.
"The difference between the two is the Innocence Projects are genetically
altered to eventually be soldiers on command. The Noah Projects are inhumanely
tested on to see how the tick in hopes to genetically fix the Innocence
Projects. Allen was both, and after helping a bunch of children escape he
destroyed the facility and ran. Mana found him and took him in and into hiding.
Allen helped us find everyone here who was in the Noah projects. Road project
Dreams, Tyki project Pleasure, Skinn project Wrath. Jasdero and Devit project
Bonds, Lulu Bell project Lust, Sheril project Desire, Wisely project Wisdom,
Maashiima project Pity, Fiidora project Corrosion, Toraido project Judgement,
Maitora project creation, my son Neah is project Destruction. Then there is me
the first of the projects, project Millennium, Mana was the original leader of
Akuma and the group was actually created to help those taken and turned into
projects." Adam finished explaining and everything fell into a deep silence. I
wanted to wake up.
"Well, one thing to get off our chests is that the Black Order and our school
are one in the same. It's both a school and training ground for us who were
projects under the Innocence title." Lenalee half way spat and you could tell
she wasn't proud to be a project.
"Yea even though we work for them all of us projects have our own agenda of
finding and protecting the boy who made it possible for us to live up until we
were ten then found once more. And I'm guessing Allen is that boy." Lavi then
said
"Yes, Allen is known as project Tenshi...and that boy Alma was known as project
Akuma and the two were brought in specifically for the day they accessed their
abilities 100% and would be put into a large city to fight, just for a test.
Alma escaped first and was lost sight of, Allen felt the need to protect others
and help others sacrificing his own freedom to do so." Adam answered, I had,
had enough.
"Tell...them...truth...Mana..." I chocked out forcing my eyes to open the light
instantly blinding me.
"Allen I di..." He began,
"Now..." I said again and I listened to him as he sighed.
"Alma was created completely from human matter and part of Allen's DNA. He was
bred to be stronger than him but that never occurred. Mana was the one who
created Alma and we suspect that's why both Alma and Mana's group were called
Akuma. Mana may have been providing Alma the edge for fighting. So in a way his
death was a relief to Lulu Bell and I." He finally told the truth and I felt
myself relax knowing that everything was on the table now.
"Well not much news for us except for Alma's part and that explains a lot as to
why he's pestering Allen, in a way they're brothers. But it doesn't explain why
he wants the amulet." Lenalee said and I let out a sigh before taking a deep
breath.
"He wants the amulet because it's the only thing that'll give him the upper
hand in killing me. Both him and I were programed to kill each other on the eve
of my 18th birthday. Now seeing as you three know of the projects gives away
you are projects yourselves...Names since you now know ours?" I asked nudging
Skinn lightly to set me down. Kanda was by me first catching me when my legs
were about to give out.
"I'm project Lotus, Lavi is project Hammer and Lenalee project Dark Boots. We
all have weapons which we can use that harnesses our abilities. Granted we can
use our abilities without them but the weapons give it an extra booth. We are
three of six who aren't under the Orders control thanks to you back when we
were children." Kanda explained using the back tip of his left pointer finger
to move some of my hair from my face.
"Thank you Kanda." I said and even though I groaned I didn't fight when he
lifted me into his arms. I still couldn't walk and for half an hour I made
Sheril know how annoyed I was. Eventually I stopped and got over it apologizing
to the man who had a daughter-complex for Road. It was getting dark and group
of us continued to walk.
"Hey Allen, what happened back at the Estate." I was shocked to say the least
when Toraido spoke jogging till he walked with both Kanda and I.
"I think my abilities are evolving." I explained leaning my head back to stare
up at the darkening sky. "I saw the attack moments before it even happened and
when I finally realized that it was happening I was barely able to change it. I
didn't want to believe I could do something new." I explained and he only
nodded.
"Yea I'd be you in that same situation. You're lucky that the bullet only
grazed your skin. The reason your barriers activated was because Alma's blood
was on it and it was attacking your system, and if Wisely didn't find a way
into your head when he had Alma would have had full control over you." He said
and all I could to was nod my head. Things were getting serious and it was
getting harder and harder to keep up with it. I leaned my head onto Kanda's
shoulder trying to somehow clear my head from everything that was occurring. We
had a while till we'd get to the emergency van and from there we'd head
straight for Minehead and be there within four hours.
"It's okay Allen they won't catch us your Uncle injured three of them so
they'll be down for at least a few days." He said and I could only nod my head.
That knowledge was a relief and I let out a heavy breath feeling some what of a
weight lifted from my shoulders.
"Allen where do we go from the cave in Minehead do you know?" Lenalee asked
catching up to us and I sighed.
"Sadly I don't the next images will be shown once we get there...I don't think
Timcanpy is the Amulet but the chosen tool that's going to lead us to the
Amulet. Either way our lives are in even more danger than before. Soon we'll
have not just the Order on our tails but Alma and Akuma are probably using us
to get to the amulet. In both ways we are just pawns for something much
bigger." I explained pushing my fingers through my hair.
"So how're we going to solve this?" Lavi asked and I sighed glancing over to my
Uncle who was also looking to me. He knew what I will decide and I knew him nor
anyone else would.
"When we find I will destroy the Amulet." I said begging for no one to ask me
how, Kanda would have throw a fit if he knew what my plan was.
"And how would you go about destroying something like that?! It's a relic that
gives eternal life damn it!" Lavi snapped and the red head barely missed the
punch Kanda threw at him.
"Lavi would it kill you to treat Allen a little nicer?! None of this is his
fault you know!" Kanda snapped then let out a breath before turning to me and I
felt an icey chill run up my spine.
"And you, like hell I am ever going to allow you to self sacrifice yourself to
destroy that thing. I'd rather be forever on the run that have you choose
that." Kanda said and I found my mouth hanging open that he knew.
"How did you..." I asked put he set his hand onto the top of my head.
"It was obvious with how you were looking to your family and how they were
looking to you...it was obvious." He said and I felt like smacking myself in
the face for not remembering that he was so observant.
"Finally someone who knows how to read Allen. Thank you Kanda." Road smiled
skipping over to us and standing next to Lenalee.
"What do you mean by that?" He asked and I smacked my forehead.
"You are the first to ever be able to know what I was implying or thinking
without having me directly say it. I tend to get into a lot of trouble by
keeping things to myself." I explain and I get odd looks from everyone.
"How about we all make a deal and not lie, with the situation we are all in we
need to know as much as possible." Lavi suggested and for once I was in
agreement with him.
"Sounds like a plan..." I answer and everyone nods but no one says a word after
that when we came to an old rickety bridge.
"I forgot about this...Three at a time, and make haste across." Adam stated
everyone nodding their heads. Before anything could be decided on who went
first, Road quickly skipped across and waved to us from the other side. I let
out an exasperated sigh.
"Must she really?" I asked looking up to Tyki who only shrugged. Finally after
a while the groups were as followed:
Adam, Tyki, Skinn
Jasdero, Devit, Lulu Bell
Sheril, Wisely, Maashiima
Fiidora, Toraido, Maitora
Kanda, Lenalee, Lavi and Myself would go last the only set of four.
I knew I should be one of the first ones across but if we were caught at least
everyone would be safely across the bridge. I was a quick runner so I'd be able
to loose whoever caught up to us. But what Kanda had said most likely they
wouldn't catch up to us until the cave. Everyone made their way quickly across
the old bridge keeping to their groups and soon it was the four of us.
"Okay remember keep four planks away from one another. Allen you're sure you
want to keep to the back of the group?" Kanda asked and I nodded my head as we
strapped the safety harness that were always left there. For emergencies Adam
had bought a 100 harnesses for this purpose if we had more than just our family
members among us. And also because since this bridge was so old you needed
them. Lenalee was the first one to go hooking the hook link to the rope railing
of the bridge and began her way across, making whining noises the entire time.
I couldn't blame her, if things went wrong we'd fall the 200 ft drop to the
river below us and I doubt we'd live the fall. Lavi was the next one to begin
his way across. I took deep breaths slowly beginning to pace back and forth
waiting.
"Allen it's my turn if you need to take your time. We may have been told to
rush, but you don't have to. Any false movement could cause the bridge to
break." Kanda said leaving a quick kiss onto my lips before beginning his way
across the bridge. I stepped into the opening of the bridge and took a deep
breath and hooked my link to the rope railing waiting for Kanda to step onto
that fourth bridge plank before I stepped onto it. As before when all of us as
kids would play on this bridge it teetered from side to side a small breeze
hitting the one side of my face as I made slow steps across. Kanda was now a
good ten planks from me at the half way point of the bridge. I peered over the
edge of the bridge and regretted doing so as I whipped my head back around and
stopped walking for a moment my eyes tightly shut.
"Come on Allen you can do it!" Lenalee and Road shouted and I began to move
again moving again one plank at a time. I didn't stop again until I reached the
middle this time seeing Kanda had made it fully across now. Then wind had
picked up and it was because it was the middle area and a small breeze was a
lot more stronger when you weren't grounded. I was going to make another step
when a loud screech was heard and I froze in spot again. I turned around to see
the large wooden structure which made up the entrance of the bridge was
teetering now.
"Allen lets go now!" Adam shouted, taking a deep breath I knew I wouldn't make
it with the harness on. I turned my head back and locked eyes with Kanda and
nodded my head to him letting him know what I was doing.
"Shit, Lavi here tie this to you while I tie the other end to myself!" I heard
Kanda order and I knew he found the rope that was always left there.
"Allen don't!" Road shouted but I ignored her and quickly unhooked my link to
the bridge and made a dash for the other end to Kanda's out stretched hand.
'I can make it...I can make it!' I thought to myself as I felt the bridge under
me give way as the crash from the beginning end fell. I quickly hooked myself
to the railing again as the bridge and I fell crashing against the cliff side.
I let out a pained yell as everything in my sight shook.
"Allen! Are you alright?!" I heard Lavi shout and I let out a grunt.
"DO I bloody hell look alright damn it?! Get me up from here!" I shouted back
everything still was spinning.
"Kanda the rope should be long enough, go down and hook him to yourself that
way we can pull you up. If we try pulling him up using the bridge it could
break and tear apart and we could loose him." I heard my uncle explain.
"Hold on Allen I'm coming for you!" Kanda yelled down to me and I looked up
watching him slowly beginning to climb down. I looked below me not only because
sand and tiny rocks began to hit my face but also to just be able to get some
bearings dangling here. It was once again another near death experience and it
was beginning to get on my nerves.
"Hey there sweet thing." I could only laugh when Kanda came down from above me
and shielded me.
"Hey...are you my knight and shining armor?" I asked and he laughed a bit to as
he began hooking his connector links to mine.
"Wrap your arms around me." He said and I did right as he undid my connector
link from the demolished bridge.
"Alright, start pulling us up!" Kanda called up and slowly we were hoisted up
and I was finally back onto solid ground.
"When this is over...Uncle Adam please when you rebuild the bridge have it a
cement bridge!" I said laying on my back just so happy for my feet to be
touching the solid ground.
"I think we're just going to move everything to the other side of the gorge."
He said all of us beginning our journey once more. After the bridge it was only
a 30 minute walk and we finally reached the van where all of us piled into the
five row van.
"To Minehead we go from there...no one knows." Adam muttered starting the van
up and drove off down road. I sat by the window in the vary back with Lenalee,
Lavi and Kanda. The row in front of us had the twins Tyki and Road, across from
them was Maashiima, Fiidora, Maitora, and Toraido. Behind them in the three
seater was Skinn, Sheril and Wisely then in the very front was Adam and Lulu
Bell.
"Okay everyone you can do whatever just don't get too loud." Adam said turning
onto some music station , music filling the van. I smirked when Tyki turned
around and held out a deck of cards.
"Wanna play?" He asked and I found my smirk widening.
"You won't cry like a little bitch when I beat you will you?" I asked and soon
we began playing as Tyki sat in an odd position. Lavi and Kanda soon joined in
and it turned into strip poker. In the end everyone landed in their boxers and
I was still the only one fully clothed.
"Remind me to never play a game against you ever again!" Lavi said throwing his
cards down as I won the final round.
"Agreed...can we have our clothes back now? Road is giving us strange looks and
Lenalee looks about ready to eat Lavi!" Kanda said and I could only laugh
handing everyone back their respectful clothing. Road and Lenalee both whining
before going back to their female gossip they were doing before the poker game
became interesting. Tyki went to conversing with Jasdero and Devit before
beginning to teach them how to play the poker game we were playing.
"Well that was sure interesting, Lenalee wasn't lying about you being the best
at poker." Kanda said allowing me to curl into him, his arms wrapping around me
securely.
"Yea well it isn't my proud talent just something help me get by in a sticky
situation." I explained looking up at my boyfriend poking him in the cheek with
my finger.
"I don't even wish to know Allen!" He said laughing a bit then leaned his head
down and captured my lips with his own.
"Trust me you don't and I pray I never have to use my talents." I sighed before
shifting again and getting comfortable before letting my eyes slide shut. I
knew sleep was about to become less and less so I wanted to sleep as much as I
can. This time for once I had no interruptions in my sleep and everything was
just black and peaceful. I was still aware of the conversations around me so I
knew I wasn't in a very deep sleep which sucked! No one talked about anything
in particular and I was able to sleep the entire four hour drive to Minehead.
The place hadn't changed much at all and the climb down to the secret cave was
annoying as ever.
"So we're here...now what?" Lavi asked and I could only sigh and head forward
into the cave wrapping my arms around myself from the coldness inside. The
first thing I noticed was the eerie glow of the tiny river inside then the
souls floating within it.
"Well...that's not creepy in the least." Lavi said from behind me and I
continued forward walking till I stood in the exact spot I was shown by
Timcanpy. I stood there for a while wondering why I wasn't seeing anything.
"Allen?" Road asked coming up next to me.
"I don't understand...me not seeing anything does that mean the amulet is
here?" I asked and she only shrugged.
"I don't know but nothing is here. Maybe it takes a bit so we'll hang out here
for a while kay?" Road smiled and we sat down and began watching the river of
souls float by. It was during that time I saw it. Something shiny in the water.
Standing slowly to my feet I ventured into the water careful to avoid as many
souls as I could. I ignored the calls to me. Taking a deep breath I allowed
myself to lower under the water till I sat on the floor of the river feeling
around until I took hold of something that was metallic. The moment I did
flashes of a very familiar building popped into my head and if it weren't for
Kanda lifting me out of the water I probably would have drowned.
"Allen? Allen!" Kanda shouted patting me onto the cheek and soon I snapped out
of it as the images finally faded.
"We need to get to Bristol airport and go to Guangzhou, Guangdong, China and to
the one place I vowed never to go to because Cross frequents there." I began
muttering putting my hand to my head beginning to slightly rock back and forth.
"You mean to tell me the next clue will be at the brothel of the woman who is
dating Cross?!" Lulu Bell asked and I laughed nervously before opening my hand
seeing what looked like to be a piece of a circle. A tiny triangle piece.
Things just became complicated.
"What is that?" Adam asked and everyone else had that question look as well.
"This is one piece of 14 to that amulet. And we must find all the others before
Akuma does." I state and every single person in the cave had a look of
annoyance, frustration, anger and neutral. I look to Timcanpy as he landed onto
my shoulder.
"Keep this safe kay?" I asked and held the piece to Tim and watched as he ate
it, knowing it wasn't really eaten, just in safe-keepings. Things were about to
become much more complicated and much more dangerous as we find more and more
pieces. I know I promised not to keep secrets but when the time comes I will be
the one to destroy the amulet and it will be up to Neah to destroy Alma.
 
***** Chapter 8 *****
When did Sheril get a pilot license? When did our family get our own plane?!
When did we get body guards to walk us through the damn airports! I let out a
sigh as we sat in a private holding area while Sheril talked with some of the
other Pilots about getting to Guangzhou, Guangdong, China in one direct flight.
I rested my head in my hand and watched as the argument was slowly heating up.
“Here you seem like you need it?” Lavi said holding out a cup of coffee to me.
Sighing I nodded my thanks to him and took the cup.
“Thanks.” I said and took a small sip from the cup. Kanda had gone with Tyki
and Maashiima to walk around the place. I know it was to make sure none of the
Akuma people were here.
“No problem. I know I’ve been a bit of an ass to you as of late and I apologize
for that. It’s been a while since we were last on the run like this. Last time
Lenalee was more fragile and I’m afraid she’ll be hurt again.” Lavi explained
and I let out another sigh.
“That’s why I suggested for the three of you to go back to the school, but I’m
glad you guys are here and that I’m not stuck with my deranged family. I
promise while I’m nearby nothing is going to happen to Lenalee.” I explained
giving the red head my best smile and he returned it before said girl walked up
and sat directly into Lavi’s lap.
“If anyone asks I went to the bathroom.” I said standing from my chair setting
the cup of coffee onto it and walked off getting a nod from the two and
including Fiidora. The bathroom was just a ways down the hall and I easily made
it. There was a bit of a crowd but that was to be expected at an airport. I
walked into the handicap stall locking it behind me and sat onto the floor my
hands over my mouth as a few tiny sobs broke through. I bit my lip and used the
back of my hand to wipe the tears away. I was sitting there with my knees drawn
up wandering why we would be going to Cross’s girlfriends family bar. Well it
wasn’t just a bar, it was a brothel as well. Shacking my head I rid of the
thoughts that went through. Cursing to myself I moved till I was sitting in
between the toilet and the wall when a few men walked in.
“Hey Thread, I noticed as we were walking by that our target wasn’t among
them.” The first one said, the other grunted at him in response.
“Keep your voice down Eshi, kidnapping the boy weren’t our orders. We’re to
slow them down until Alma gets here, kidnapping would just be a bonus.” Thread
said, I press my hands to my mouth as my eyes widened. It was like I was hiding
from my kidnappers when I was held hostage at a young age.
“What better yet to look for the boy now that he isn’t with his bodyguard!”
Eshi said loudly once more and I prayed for anyone in the group I was in to
come in!
“You’ve got a point…stay here and keep an eye out, tell me if anyone is coming
in.” Thread said his voice almost playful.
“Hehe whatever you say don’t scare the kid too much if you find him.” Eshi said
before I heard him leave. I felt myself panicking as silence ensued. I jumped
though when the first slamming of the stall was heard and I felt tears leak
down my eyes. When the second one resounded I covered my ears with my hands and
began to rock. My breathing became erratic and quick when the stall next to
mine slammed. This was the moment that I was going to be caught! My eyes
widened and I just couldn’t stop starring at the stall door waiting.
“HEY! If you or your friend knows what’s best I’d beat it!” I let out a
relieved breath at hearing Toraido’s voice, Thread let out a huff of breath
before I heard him walk off. Jumping to my feet I darted out of the stall and
let my cousin take my arm and lead me back to the group keeping me close to
him.
“What did you hear?” He asked snapping me out of my panicked reverie.
“They’re going to try and stall us until Alma and them get here.” I said only
loud enough for him to hear. I noticed Kanda, Tyki and Maashiima were back and
I was glad.
“What happened?” Adam asked the moment we got back and I was released, I went
straight for my coffee and sat back down in my seat before I began to rock back
and forth. Kanda knelt onto the ground in front of me and I felt Lenalee
rubbing my back.
“We have to go now…we don’t have much time.” I whispered as I looked to where
Toraido was explaining what just happened to my uncle.
“Allen?!” I groaned at my name being called and I stared into my uncles eyes.
“Can we just go….now.” I begged trying to keep my voice even.
“Sheril do what the man says and get over it we’re not getting a direct
flight.” Adam snapped and I watched as Sheril twitched before finally giving in
and letting the other pilot win. We were instructed to gather all of our
things. I quickly grabbed mine and waited for Kanda before grabbing onto his
hand we all followed the pilot to the gate of the plane we’d be on. I kept
close and my eyes downcast as we hurriedly walk. I felt Lavi and Lenalee behind
me and I felt so weird like this.
“What did you and my cousins find out?” I asked looking up to Kanda.
“Alma is already here with a large group of Akuma’s.” He stated and I bit my
lip and began looking around. Would they really do something with so many
witnesses around? I felt Timcanpy move around in my jacket pocket and I patted
it lightly to keep him calm. When we reached the gate, I was ushered on quickly
and sat in the back with my three friends. As quickly as we got on, all
preparations to take off were quickly done.
“Okay here is the plan Allen. We’ll be landing in Tashkent, Uzbekistan from
there the plane will refuel and we’ll be going straight to China from there.
We’ll have to land in Hong Kong then you’ll go with Tyki and Road straight to
Anita’s. The rest of us will meet you there alright?” Adam said quickly then
walked off. I began to breath heavily again not understanding what he meant
that we were splitting up. We never split up! Did something happen?! Before I
could fully get up the plane moving knocked me back into my chair and Kanda
strapped me in before wrapping his arms around me.
“I don’t understand! Why’re we splitting up?!” I asked but he didn’t say
anything and just shushed me as we took off. The plane began to shack and I
gasped as everything around me went black. I appeared inside the airport
standing off from Alma. He had his hand stretched out and was chanting. I look
out the window to see that his focus was on our plane.
“STOP! You’re going to kill them if you do that!” Neah shouted, I closed my
eyes and pulled back into my body completely disoriented.
“WISELY WE’RE UNDER ATTACK!” I shouted my hand darted to my nose when red drops
landed onto my leg.
“Shit, Adam he just forced a astral projection! Tyki, Maitora help me get this
ass off of us!” Wisely said and they to began chanting. Adam was over to my
side in an instant a wet rag being pinched onto my nose. I ignored him as I
forced myself out of my body again. This time I appeared atop the plane and I
saw the strings that Alma had attached to us.
“Ì nǐ duànjué zài wǒmen jǔbàn de liànjiē. Xié'è de fēnsàn, bù huì zài huílái.
Xié'è de fēnsàn, gǔn ba!” I chanted holding two fingers up using them to make
an X in the air my astral form glowing a deep purple. I watched as a glowing
red X formed in front of me before flying to each of the strings attached to
the plane and cut them. I allowed myself to appear into the plane and laughed
nervously as I saw Adam and Kanda shouting at me to wake up. Shacking my head I
allowed the pull and was reeled back in and I jumped awake.
“IDIOT!” Adam shouted as I was slapped across the face. I sat there only
blinking as the slap registered into my brain.
“He connected his soul to the plane…he was going to bring us down. I had to
help! I’m not a weakling!” I shouted in my defense and Adam only sighed.
“And when you start bleeding from your nose and mouth you know that enough is
enough! Stop pushing yourself damn it!” Adam hissed and I rolled my eyes.
“Don’t you dare roll your eyes at me Allen! You know how serious this is!” Adam
snapped before walking off and I sighed before rubbing my cheek which was now
sore.
“You alright?” Kanda asked and I nodded my head before leaning over onto him
letting his arms wrap around me.
“Yea, though lets hope I never have to attempt that again.” I said with a sigh.
“Listen Allen, if you hadn’t done what you did then we would be crashing right
now.” Maitora said walking up and leaning over the seats in front of us.
“Tell that to Adam.” I said with an exasperated sigh.
“He didn’t mean to flip out on you, he was just worried. He’s lost you three
times now, I think he’s tired of it. First was almost to the Black Order thanks
to Mana, then there was your hostage situation and lastly when you ran away.
Cut him some slack he truly does care for you.” Maitora explained and I only
look down.
“I know but he has odd ways of showing that he cares.” I muttered and everyone
around me just laughed. It wasn’t until we were two hours into the flight that
I allowed myself the okay to fall asleep and mind jump. I sat waiting in the
spot I chose and waited and knew I didn’t have to wait long as I watched Neah
appear.
“Alma was pretty pissed when you destroyed his soul puppet strings, but how did
you know he did it?” Neah asked as he sat down next to me.
“That is something I cannot reveal. I don’t know how well your mind is guarded
at the moment. Neah…we’re all going to die aren’t we?” I asked after a while
pulling my knees up and hugged them.
“No we’re not going to die. You have a smart mind, smarter than Wisely’s. How
do I know? Well you’ve dealt with a caliber this size before. You took the
Order head on and lived. You’ve now lived on the streets twice. I think you’ll
pull through this one as well.” Neah explained and I nodded my head.
“Your mom and dad miss you very much.” I say leaning my chin onto my knees and
stared off into the blackness that surrounded us.
“I know, but keep in mind Allen. They love you very much. Father always wanted
to adopt you but because of Mana he was never allowed to. Do you remember ANY
of the stuff you had to endure at that place?”? Neah then asked and I just sat
there beginning to think back.
“All I remember is pain and darkness. I don’t think I want to remember.” I
stated and Neah sighed.
“You may want to for this Allen. Look back into your dark world and remember
what you could do, remember the abilities you once had and maybe they’ll be
enough to defeat Alma. I have to go now my rest is up.” He said and before I
knew Neah was gone and I was opening my eyes to see everyone had fallen asleep
“Allen?” I looked up to see Road standing there finishing with her yawn and I
smile.
“I just finished talking to Neah…he’s doing fine.” I said and watched as she
smiled.
“That’s good, how are you though?” She asked sitting on the floor beside my
chair.
“Tired and feel like I haven’t slept really. How much longer do we have till
our first landing?” I asked and I watched as she looked at her ball shaped
necklace which was also a clock.
“Another thirty minutes and then we’ll be landing for refueling, and from there
we have another three hours, so go to sleep and try to for as long as
possible.” She explained standing to her feet and walked to where she was
sitting with Tyki. Yawning myself I lifted the arm rest and laid my head onto
Kanda’s lap my eyes drifting close. I felt Kanda’s hand begin to rub mine and
slowly I succumbed to sleep. I once again didn’t dream of anything and only
floated within a shadowy blackness before I woke up as we were taking off after
refueling. I only fell back to sleep as I had seen Jasdero and Devit smiling
insanely at me. Yup more sleep.
 
Dreamscape:
Everything around me was demolished and I sat there next to the pool which was
filled with red water. I would stare at my reflection and notice that I was
still a child, A very young child. There was no one around and I slowly begin
to cry as I stood from my spot on the ground and began to walk around shouting
for my mother. When I reached the outside it was raining and I felt my world
tumble as I saw the bodies that littered the ground. I begin to run, shouting
for my mother and my father. As I reached a home which was very familiar to me
I run inside only to find the two people who I was looking for also dead. I run
out of the house and collapse onto the ground my hands grabbing onto my shirt
over my heart. I let out an anguish scream as a force was pushed from my body
and I watched as everything was destroyed minus in the area which I was in.
End_Dreamscape:
“Allen come on it’s almost time.” I groggily open my eyes to see Kanda above me
trying to wake me and I slowly sit up watching as everyone was getting their
things already gathered.
“Here you go sleepy head. Have any nice dreams?” Lenalee asked handing me my
bag and Kanda his own.
“I could only wish, but I think it’ll help us in the long run, when we get to
where we’re going I’ll explain everything that I just learned.” I said slipping
the bag onto my shoulders.
“Sounds like a plan.” Lavi gave me a thumbs up and soon everyone was strapped
in as we descended and landed in Hong Kong, China. Adam wasn’t joking as we all
separated into three groups. Kanda, Lavi, Lenalee and myself went with Tyki and
Road and went to the outside area flagging down a cab. This is where Lenalee
decided to step up after Tyki was failing to ask for this guy to take us to a
car rental place.
“Nǐ hǎo, nǐ kěyǐ dài wǒmen dào zuìjìn de zūchē diàn?” She spoke and we all just
gawked at her as we climbed into the cab and we were taken straight to a car
rental place where Tyki got us a SUV type and we all fit in just nicely. I
inputted the address into the built in and soon we were off.
“That’s pretty cool that you can speak Chinese Lenalee! Now you and I can hold
secret conversations!” I say happily and Lenalee cheers as we both began to
converse in Chinese. After a while Kanda covered my mouth and Lavi covered
Lenalee’s.
“Thank you!” Tyki cheered, Road could only laugh. Most the time in the car we
played cards or talked, it wasn’t until sunset before we pulled into the
parking garage of the bar.
“So this extravagant place is also an underground brothel?” Lavi asked and I
only nodded my head.
“Yup but keep it to yourself it’s so much easier, they only let certain
customers know.” I explained and he walked to the connecting walkway and headed
into the building where we were instantly stopped by security.
“Sorry but this is for VIP customers only.” One of them said and I sighed.
“I’m here to see Anita. I’m under the file with Cross Marian, my name is Allen
Walker or Allen Noah as well.” I said handing the man both of my ID’s.
“Well I was expecting you Allen…everything is alright boys. This young one and
his friends are welcomed here.” A woman with long black hair said walking up.
“Good evening…Anita.” I smiled.
***** Chapter 9 *****
“It’s been a while since I last saw you Allen. How is Cross? He’s been avoiding
me as of late.” I was bombarded with questions the moment she wrapped her arms
around me. I could sense Kanda becoming a bit jealous and I knew bad things
were soon to happen if Anita didn’t release me soon.
“It has been a while and you know Cross always keeping you waiting till the
last moment.” I answered trying to worm my way out of her grip but it seemed to
only tighten around me.
“Don’t move I wish to see how much I get under your friends skin before he
snaps.” She whispered as her chin rested onto my shoulder. She was teasing
Kanda for sure.
“Could we not piss off my boyfriend?” I asked with another sigh and Anita
laughed before standing straight and taking a step back.
“Everyone this is Anita, she is Cross’s girlfriend and my godmother. Anita you
already know Tyki and Road; I want you to meet Lavi, Lenalee and Kanda my new
friends.” I introduced everyone.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you three. All of you should be safe from Akuma here
so stay as long as you like. Will the rest of the Noah family be coming as
well?” She asked.
“If they don’t run into any sort of trouble Anita we split into three groups.
We don’t know what the plan is.” Tyki explained playing with his lighter, it
was obvious he was itching to smoke.
“I see well follow me we shall go talk serious matters in my office. Mahoja
dear please tell one of the servers to bring us some tea.” Anita smiled to the
large woman who had been standing beside her.
“Of course Ma’am.” Mahoja bowed and she walked off and we were following Anita
through the building until we came to her office. Inside it was gold and jade
green with dragon designs etched into the walls. Tyki was by one of the windows
in an instant opening it and lighting up his cigarette.
“You haven’t changed at all Mr. Mikk do I really still make you nervous?” Anita
asked walking over to her wooden desk and taking a seat in the chair.
“You don’t make me nervous this place does.” Tyki said calmly as he exhaled a
puff of gray smoke.
“Just hang there by the window and you’ll be fine.” Anita smiled and everyone
found somewhere to sit in the room, I chose to just stand.
“So why is Akuma after you Allen?” Anita asked leaning back in her chair hands
folded in her lap.
“They’re searching for the cursed amulet of everlasting breath. They wish to
use Neah and me to locate it.” I explain yelping a bit when an arm suddenly
snakes around my waist and I’m pulled into Kanda’s lap.
“Thank you Kanda.” Road smiled and I only glare at her.
“You were making everyone nervous standing. The more on edge you are the more
likely you’ll lose control on your abilities and we don’t need that.” Road
explained curling her legs under her, Tyki soon joining next to her on the
couch. We sat in silence as I allowed the information to sink in. Mahoja had
joined us carrying a tray of tea handing everyone a cup. I sat in Kanda’s lap
the cup of tea resting in my own as I stared at my reflection, I couldn’t get a
smile to come across my face as much as I tried.
“This is a serious situation. The amulet broke into 14 pieces back during a
fight between Adam and Mana. After that the pieces spread across the world. Who
knows where you’re going to find them. And with Akuma on your asses it makes it
even more difficult.” Mahoja said taking her place standing behind the desk
next to Anita.
“We already found one piece, Allens vision led us here.” Lavi explained, I set
my full cup of tea onto the table across from Kanda and me and stood up before
walking to the open window. Everyone continued to talk as I sat at the window
starring out at the city lights watching as heavy rain began to pour around
everything. Flashes of an all-white room filled my head, children were in this
room with me and we were sat in a circle, I was sat in the middle. I recognized
these children. I saw Kanda and Lavi along with Daisya and Marie. I leaned
forward catching my head in my hands as I closed my eyes focusing on the rain
sounds outside.
I noticed a few nurses standing against the walls watching us and seeing a two
way window knowing we were being watched. A voice came from a PA system and
told the kids to hold hands and concentrate. Concentrate on what was beyond me.
In the memory I had stood up as all the children began to glow, I jump when
someone grabbed my hand and pulled me back down to sitting and I see that the
person was Alma. I was opening my mouth to say something when suddenly a beam
came from each of the kids and connected with us and my world went dark before
I was seeing the Amulet as a whole. I watched as it broke into pieces and
spread across the world. I watched as I was shown two possibilities of what
could happen if someone found the amulet. In the wrong hands everything could
be destroyed, but in the right hands peace would finally be reached.
Forcing myself awake I stumbled away from Alma who was sitting still and I ran
from the group of children to the corner of the room. Some of the nurses ran
over to try and grab me but I put up an invisible wall keeping them away from
me as they tried to grab me. One of the women managed to go through my wall and
grabbed a hold of me. I let out a scream when she pulled out a needle and all
the lights above us shattered scaring the other children causing them to start
screaming and running away. I jumped awake falling from the window seat landing
on the floor with a loud thud, my eyes were still wide in shock from what I had
just witnessed.
“Allen?!” Kanda asked over to my side not long after helping me to my feet.
“I’m ok….I just need some fresh air…come with me?” I asked, right now I needed
to get out of that stuffy room.
“You two just be careful and call if anything happens.” Anita warns us and we
walk out, I head right back out to the parking garage and up to the top level
where I walk over to the ledge and lean on it.
“Allen what happened?” Kanda asks leaning on the ledge next to me.
“How much of the Black Order do you remember as a kid?” I ask looking to the
street below watching the cars drive by.
“Nothing actually, Komui explained to all of us to keep some incident under
wraps they wiped the memories of everyone. Did you see a memory?” He asked and
I nodded my head.
“A possible way to find all the pieces but we’d have to involve all the
children that were once part of the experiment.” I explain taking in a deep
breath and sighed.
“I doubt that’s going to happen could we possibly use everyone in your family?
We just have to hope it has the same effect.” Kanda said turning around and
leaning his back against the edge.
“It may work but as you said we’d have to hope it had the same effect. Ever
since I was told to unlock my memories I’ve been seeing strange things and I’m
afraid for everyone.” I say leaning my head forward into my hands. I feel arms
wrap around me and Kanda lean his head onto my shoulder as he slowly rocked us
side to side.
“You just have to believe it will work. We’re going to get through this. I
promise and I swear to never leave your side. Just promise to never leave
mine.” Kanda whispers leaving a quick kiss on my cheek; it brought a smile to
my face.
“I promise, we will always be together.” I smile turning my head to look at
him.
“HEY! What’re you two doing Adam is worried!” I groaned upon hearing Jasdero’s
voice, it meant everyone was back together.
“Come on lets go back and we’ll not say anything until you have another dream.
We’ll give everyone some time to relax a bit.” We both stood up straight and
began heading back towards the building, Jasdero had already run off. There was
a door at the upper level we could enter from. We were about to walk in when I
felt a sudden chill run up my spine. I paused and turned around to see no one
there, reassuring myself we weren’t found yet I followed Kanda into the
building and we were locked in from behind. We headed into a stairwell and
began heading down to the next level.
“Hold on.” Kanda suddenly said holding his hand up both of us stopping. I could
tell he had heard something and I began to as well. It sounded like a fan was
running. Right as I peered over the edge a man on a jet pack flew out of
nowhere and grabbed onto me.
“KANDA!” I screamed reaching out the both of us just missing one another.
“ALLEN!” Kanda yelled after me and began running up the stairs. The man wore
whit mask with only the eyes cut out.
“NO!” I screamed reaching my hand out pushing my own invisible hand out and
grabbed onto the railing stopping us. I suddenly felt a sudden pain in the back
of my neck and soon my world faded and I felt us moving once again.
 
Third POV:
Kanda ran up the stairs pulling his phone out quick dialing a number keeping
his eyes on the man with jet pack as much as possible. No one answered the
phone the first time and he cursed ending the call and trying a different
number only to get the same response. He tried the first number once more after
sending a quick text for the person to answer the ‘god damn phone’.
“Yu what’s up?” Came Lavi’s voice.
“Put one of the damn Noah’s on the phone right now! Allens been kidnapped!”
Kanda shouted into the phone running out of some door onto the roof. He watched
as the person flew off.
“WHAT DO YOU MEAN ALLEN’S BEEN KIDNAPPED?” Came both Road and Lenalee’s voice.
“Some whacko on a jet pack came out of nowhere in the stairwell and snatched
him. We had no reaction time. I’m on the roof and he’s flying northeast towards
I guess where there is a bay of water.” Kanda explained before hanging his
phone up watching as the person was making a decent to the ground onto the roof
of a warehouse.
“Kanda, what building?” Anita asked after running out followed by Adam.
“The large warehouse northeast from here; it seems to be the largest one
there.” Kanda pointed out with his hand.
“I’ve been having issues with my girls being taken by human traffickers. I have
this feeling someone within my own facility is helping them.” Anita explained
crossing her arms, her eyes narrowing as she glared at the building in
question.
“Kanda, I’m going to find out the exact location of that building. You, Tyki
and Wisely will be going to get him back. Heaven knows what will happen once
Allen realizes what is going on, no one will live and we can’t have the news on
us.” Adam explained, Kanda nodded his head as they headed back into the
building and everyone met up in Anita’s office to set up a plan.
“Adam they’re going to need back up and you know it! All of us should be
helping out in some way!” Road screeched and the three boys stared at her like
she had two heads.
“Oi! We’re not that helpless Road.” Wisely snapped taking a seat next to Lavi
and everything soon went quiet again.
“She’s right though it will be taking more than just the three of us. Lavi
you’re an expert when it comes to unlocking doors quietly. We could use Road
and Lenalee as distractions while we get Allen out. Then Ms. Lulu Bell you’re
good with a car you can be our getaway.” Kanda motioned to each person.
“I can be leading everyone through the building so long as Ms. Anita here has
devices for communication.” Wisely stated with a smirk standing from his spot
once more walking back over to Kanda and Tyki.
“And if we run into any trouble I can wipe them out while you get Allen to
safety.” Tyki proceeded.
“Then it’s settled let’s get moving.” Adam ordered and everyone began to get
ready to rescue Allen. Kanda walked over to the window Allen had sat at before
his hands clenched into fists.
 
Allens POV:
I woke tied to a chair and feeling like I had one too many drinks. I was in a
pitch black room, I could hear water dripping and I wish I had a jacket from
how cold it was in here. I could hear voices and footsteps coming closer. I was
bewildered when a group of three Chinese men walked in. I had no clue who they
were. They began speaking to me in their dialect and they spoke very quickly
all I could catch was they were asking about some girl. I shook my head rapidly
trying to pretend that I didn’t know where they were.
“I don’t know!” I shouted and I watched as the man who had been speaking nodded
to the other two. A towel was wrapped around my face and I plus the chair was
forced backwards. Suddenly water was filling my mouth and I could feel some of
the liquid entering my lungs as I tried to cough it up but with the towel I
couldn’t and I began to panic. The towel was taken off of my face and I was
allowed to sit up coughing up the water that had entered my lungs.
“*Wǒ bù zhīdào nǐ shuō de shì shuí! Wǒ gāng lái dào zhèlǐ de zhōngguó bùshì
hěnjiǔ yǐqián!*” I screamed again this time in Chinese trying in some way to
save my ass.
“So the white one can speak our language, where is the girl and you won’t die!”
The man before had said and I was taking quick deep breaths.
“I don’t know! I just arrived here, the woman of that building is a friend of
mine! Please just let me go!” I begged but from the look on his face he didn’t
like my answer and I was forced back again with water in my face again. They
kept me like that for five minutes before I was let back up again, I was crying
and begging trying to make them understand that I had no idea what they were
talking about. Soon a man ran in and everything ceased.
“*Juéshì kěnéng de rùqīn zhě, wǒmen fāxiàn hòumén shàng suǒ, mén kāile*.” The
man spoke in Chinese the four soon left and the door to my room was slammed
shut. I was left in the dark once more. Every now and then I’d cough up water
and I felt my eye lids becoming heavier but I forced myself to stay awake. I
began to twist my wrists trying to loosen up the knot in the rope so I could
escape but they had it pretty damn tight. I heard a commotion outside and soon
the door to the room was kicked in. Never in my life have I ever been so happy
to see Tyki and Kanda standing there.
“That was easy.” Tyki spoke running over and began to untie my restraints to my
hands while Kanda untied the ones around my ankles.
“We’re not out of here yet! I’ll carry him.” Kanda said lifting me up into his
arms and I wrapped my arms around his neck burrowing my face into his shoulder
as they ran out.
“How is he other than soaking wet?” I heard Lavi ask.
“Probably scared out of his mind let’s just get him out of here and back to
Anita’s.” Kanda snapped and if he wasn’t carrying me I knew he’d take a swing
at him.
“Allen are you alright?” I heard Tyki ask but I only ignored him and I hugged
onto Kanda tighter. Everyone took that as I wasn’t going to say anything and I
felt the cool breeze and the rain hit me as we made it outside and into a car.
“Is he unharmed?” I heard Lulu Bells voice and Tyki confirmed that they didn’t
know cause I won’t say anything. Kanda began to run his hands through my hair
and slowly I began to calm down as the car pulled forward. It wasn’t long until
we were back at Anita’s and Kanda was led to a bedroom him and I could stay in.
Everyone would meet up tomorrow morning to get the details. Kanda laid us on
the bed and he kept me held close to him.
I broke down into tears the moment the realization hit me that I was finally
safe. Kanda only shushed me and held me close his hand still brushing through
my hair. I clutched onto the front of his shirt trying to get some sort of
bearing but I couldn’t. Everything around me was spiraling out of control and
it was hitting me hard. All I wanted to do was disappear; I wanted everything
to be normal. I just wanted to be a normal high school student with a boyfriend
to cuddle with. But here I was stuck in this war that was probably going to end
my life and I was scared. There was no one I could talk to without them saying
that I was over-reacting.
“Let it out Allen, let it all out.” Kanda whispered just letting me cry.
“I was so scared! I thought I was going to die!” I cried out slowly beginning
to calm down a bit.
“I know but you never have to go through that again, I promise.” Kanda said
lifting me up onto him forcing me to straddle his waist. I looked down at him
with his hair sprawled out about him. The smile finally spread across my face
and I leaned forward until my lips met his. He kissed me back and I eagerly
made it deeper as his arms snaked around my waist.
I was safe.
 
Well finally a chapter and it literally took me an entire day to type it! I am
so proud lol xD Not really.
 
Chinese words:
   1. I don't know who you're talking about! I just arrived here in China not
      too long ago!
   2. Sir possible intruders we found the back entrance unlocked and the door
      opened.
 
***** Chapter 10 *****
It was plain simple, I couldn't sleep and Kanda was out like a light. I tried
already a few times to wake him up. So here I was laying in bed starring at the
ceiling and it was barely the middle of the night. Groaning for the hundredth
time I rolled out of bed and ventured out of the room towards where I knew the
kitchen was. I was hoping that a cup of Anita's herbal tea would help me relax
enough to go back to sleep. Entering the stairwell I kept as close to the wall
as possible and began making my decent to the last floor. I was thinking back
to how everything had changed so quickly and wandered if there was anyway for
it to become normal again. I was getting ready to enter back into the main part
of the building when I heard weeping coming from the basement floors.
 
Knowing I should ignore it and go get someone I began making my way further
down the stairs. I was following the weeping noises entering the basement. The
basement was pretty creepy with cobwebs hanging from the corners in the
ceiling. The weeping was getting louder and I continued further surprised with
myself when my fears weren't getting the best of me. I stopped when I came to a
woman huddled against some boxes wearing a black jacket the hood pulled over
her head. She was curled into a fetal position her arms wrapped around herself.
A puddle of water was on the floor around so I knew she had to of been outside
for a while to get that soaked.
 
“You're the one those men are looking for.” I spoke and I watched as the woman
tensed up.
 
“You're Allen aren't you?” She asked and I found myself being drawn to the
person for some reason, the woman looked and I found myself starring into
grayish brown eyes. I couldn't really tell the rest of her appearance since she
had a hood pulled over her head.
 
“How do you know my name? Who are you?” I asked already not trusting her,
hoping she wasn't sent by Akuma to trick me so I could be taken. But there was
just something about her that screamed she was a good person.
 
“Oh I'm so sorry you probably wouldn't remember me.” She said standing to her
feet and pulled the hood down from her head. She had pale skin and long wavy
hair. I immediately recognized her as one of the children from the circle.
 
“You're from the Black Order as well. One of the projects!” I said a smile
dancing across my face and I watched as a smile also appeared on her as well.
 
“Yes, Project Time Record. My name is Miranda Lotto.” She said holding her hand
out to me, I reached out and shook her hand.
 
“How did you end up in a place like that with men like that?” I asked and I
watched her sigh wrapping her arms around herself.
 
“It wasn't by choice. The Black Order sold me to them when I was 10. I have
been with them ever since helping in drug crimes. It was when I found this in
their clutches that I knew I needed to get out and find the chosen boy...you.”
Miranda explained pulling out a piece of the Amulet from her pocket. So we were
supposed to be here when she escaped to get the piece.
 
“Piece number two.” I say picking it up from her hand and studied it. Soon
Timcanpy flew out onto my wrist and took the piece from me swallowing it. He
glowed for a moments before flying up and opened his mouth showing us a coast
to a port city in Italy. I groaned.
 
“One thing after another. Hey Miranda would you like to join me to have some
tea I was going to go make some but then I heard you.” I offered and she nodded
her head. I held my hand out to her and she grabbed it both of us heading out
of basement and back up on floor and into the kitchen where I found Anita
waiting.
 
“I had a feeling we had an extra guest amongst us.” She smiled three cups of
tea already prepared.
 
“Ms. Anita this is Miranda she was part of the projects once before.” I explain
and Anita only smiles.
 
“I have Mahoja already getting an extra pair of clothes for her so need to
worry Allen. Welcome Miranda you're safe here.” She said and Miranda slightly
bowed.
 
“Thank you so much.” Miranda thanked Anita and soon the three of us were
sitting at the table conversing. I found out that after I had helped everyone
escape they were one by one found and sold to various people across the world
for their abilities. Kanda, Lavi and Lenalee were lucky to have been taken in
by Lenalee's brother and protected. I had been sold to Mana who was the head of
the Akuma project after Alma had escaped and disappeared off of the radar. Then
everyone who was involved knew about Mana's death when it had happened. No one
knew what happened to me though, I was kept out of all talk.
 
“You see the Order is ashamed for creating Alma from your DNA now that he is
out of hand. They also want to get you back and keep you under lock and key so
nothing of this sort happens again.” Miranda explained and I sighed things were
getting complicating. Now not only was Akuma on our asses but so was the Black
Order.
 
“Do we know if the Order has any pieces of the Amulet?” I ask bringing one knee
up to my chest and wrapped my arms around my bent leg.
 
“They have seven of the fourteen pieces. They know you'll eventually come for
it so that is their reason for not sending anyone for you yet.” Miranda said
taking another sip from her tea.
 
“Well I guess we'll be looking for the other pieces before we go after that.
Anita could you let my uncle know who now have an extra person with us? I
should get back to my room before Kanda wakes up and finds me gone.” I lightly
laugh and the two women join me.
 
“Of course sweet heart, you try and get some sleep and I'll take care of
Miranda for you.” Anita smiled and I disappeared out of the room. Walking back
up the stairs I had to stop leaning against the wall as I was sucked into that
world again standing face to face with Neah.
 
“Alma is pissed.” He said immediately and I only growled at that/
 
“I don't care Neah! But I guess I have no choice but to ask why.” I say and he
only sighs walking up till he stood directly in front of me.
 
“He's pissed because he can't find nor can he find a lead on where you went.
Where ever you are Allen I suggest you stay there for a while, send everyone
out into groups as you find a piece of the Amulet.” He said and I sighed once
more.
 
“So for once I am safe. Alright I'll do what you say...but how do I know this
isn't a trap?” I ask.
 
“You don't, trust your instincts.” He says then vanishes.
 
I open my eyes and find myself back in the stairwell leaning against the wall
and breathing heavily. Standing up straight I walk to the edge of the rail and
peer to above me, my eyes narrow seeing the roof door wide open blowing heavy
rain in. Stepping back I ran back into the main building on a different floor
and went straight to where I knew the security room was. No one questioned me
when I came in and I began looking through the screens as I pulled my cell
phone out and dialed Tyki's number.
 
“Allen you have better be dying.” He hissed once he answered.
 
“Get everyone up and together and meet in the kitchen. I'll meet you guys
there.” I say before hanging up locking eyes with Alma of the screen in front
of me. He was on the top floor where Anita keeps her training room.
 
“Mr. Allen?” The security guard asked me.
 
“Find the others they'll be dressed like him. Tell Anita we have intruders and
to keep on guard.” I order and left going right back into the stair beginning
my run up the stairs. Things end tonight and I wasn't going to lose. I was near
the top floor when I heard the doors to the floors below me open and I heard
the complaining voices of Jasdero and Devit. No one was happy that I had woken
everyone up so damn early in the morning. I kept moving upward knowing everyone
was going to kill me when they found out.
 
“Will you two shut up and just get moving!” I heard Kanda's annoyed voice and I
sadly smile to myself as I stand in front of the door that led into the top
main floor.
 
“Why is Allen waking all of us up Tyki?” Came Road next.
 
“How should I know?! It better be good though or I'm going to kill him.” Tyki's
angered voice came last. Sighing I pushed open the door and walked through
making sure the door shut silently behind me. I saw the door to the training
room open and a light on from inside. Taking a deep breath I pushed forward and
entered into the room seeing Alma standing there facing the wall where a Dragon
statue sat with a sword on it. On the floor Neah laid there unconscious but
other than that he seemed to be relatively unharmed.
 
“You know you were always the luck one Walker. You were able to locate that
damn amulet. The most I could ever do is destroy things and use abilities that
were similar to yours. On top of that I was created from your DNA!” Alma hissed
slowly turning around to face me.
 
“That wasn't my choice I was kid forced into evil scientific testing just as
you and everyone else was. Don't go blaming me.” I hissed back walking to the
side wall where there was another Dragon Statue and sword.
 
“Only one of us can stand Allen. I don't want your help anymore you took
everything from me.” He said and I couldn't help but glare at him.
 
“Take everything from you?! If you're talking about Kanda then you drove him
away from you! Don't go blaming me!” I yelled watching Alma as he pulled the
sword from the statue and unsheathed it. This wasn't something I wanted to do,
I wanted to avoid this.
 
“Fine, say what you want Walker. But this is where we make our final stand. A
fight to the death.” He said raising the sword and pointing it at me. I let out
an annoyed breath before taking the other sword down and unsheathing it
dropping the scabbard to the floor a loud thud echoing throughout the room.
 
“I didn't want this to be our future Alma, but you've left me no choice...So be
it then.” I said walking out to the middle of the room. I saw Neah twitch and
knew he was bound to wake up soon. Alma watched my every move and I watched his
as he began to slowly walk around me in circles. Suddenly he was charging
towards me jumping into the air and bringing the sword down upon me. I easily
blocked it and pushed him back before charging right back towards him swinging
the sword missing each time as he jumped away. Swinging at me again from the
side I blocked with the sword and my arm allowing myself to be pushed a few
feet.
 
Using my hand I pushed the sword away before swing my sword towards Alma's head
watching as he ducked to his knees barely missing the blade from decapitating
him. I continued to rush at him swinging as much as I could. Our blades would
connect and some times our blades would only cut through air. I was going to
charge towards him again when Alma thrusted his hand out towards me and
invisible force slamming into my chest sending me flying back into the mirror
wall behind me near Neah. The glass shattered and fell around my feet and I
slightly staggered forward. A warm liquid dripped down the side of my face and
all I could do was glare at the boy across the room from me and evil smirk
dancing across his face.
 
“So we're going to play like that.” I muttered to myself adverting my eyes to
above him lifting my hand, the invisible wall connected to the ceiling above
Alma and I quickly moved my hand downward bring the entire wall with me to on
top of Alma. Water poured into the room from the pipes, rain fell from the now
open sky and sparks from the live wires sparked. I wasn't surprised to see Alma
standing on top of the now fallen ceiling dust and debree covering him. I
rushed at him again sword held above me as I was going to bring it down on him.
I was forced to jump back and put up my invisible was because Alma sent a wall
of fire at me.
 
I was barely able to react when the ceiling above me was brought down and I was
forced to grab Neah and jump away. I was taken by surprise again when Alma came
out of no where pinning me to the glass wall behind me with the sword in my
right shoulder. I let out a scream of pain as Alma jumped back. Shacks and
shivers ran throughout my body and I tried to get a hold of myself from the
pain. Alma was laughing uncontrollably as he stared at me. Clenching my teeth I
wrapped my hand around the blade of the sword ignoring the pain in my fingers I
tried to pull it out but it wouldn't budge.
 
“What's the matter Allen? No strength to save yourself?” Alma taunted I watched
as his hand lit a flame and I knew I was going to be done for. I could do
nothing as the wall of flame came towards me. So when it didn't touch me I was
surprised watching Neah slowly stand to his feet using the wall to support
himself. Kanda and Tyki soon ran out of no where towards.
 
“Distract him Kanda this is going to hurt!” Tyki shouted, grabbing onto the
hilt of the sword it slightly moving and I let out a pained cry. Kanda grabbed
each of my cheeks his lips upon mine in an instant kissing me. My mind was lost
for a short while until I felt pain all throughout my body from the sword being
ripped from my shoulders. Kanda held onto me as my knees gave out and he slowly
lowered us to the floor. Next Tyki used his small pocket knife and cut my shirt
off of me.
 
“I know you're not going to stop fighting, we've been watching from the
beginning. You're a real dumbass you know that!” Tyki shouted beginning to rip
my shirt into shreds tying them around the wound.
 
“Spare me Tyki this was bound to happen. I can do this.” I hiss my hands
clutching tightly onto Kanda's arm from the pain. I let out another cry when
Tyki smacked me hard in the back over the wound and I immediately swung my fist
into the side of his face. Neah coming between the both of us before a fight
could start.
 
“Enough! That was uncalled for Tyki and you know it. Allma is outside on the
roof waiting. Kanda help him to the opening. Both of you will be weaponless,
but take this....this is the only thing that could kill either you or him other
than fire. He has one to.” Neah explained putting a black double edged dagger
into my hand. It had ancient Chinese symbols in it.
 
“You're not going anywhere are you?” I asked as Kanda helped me to my feet.
 
“No, I promised him this fight. He's letting me go for this, one of you will
die tonight and Allen it better be him.” Neah said standing in front of my
patting me on the cheek trying to help me stay awake.
 
“Then get to your mother by all means, she needs to know you're okay.” I said
then allowed Kanda to help me start walking.
 
“I'm not going to question you about any of this, I had a feeling something
like this was going to happen.” Kanda said keeping me held close to him.
 
“Why was I given the dagger?” I asked breathing heavily my shoulder hurt so
much.
 
“He said you're the only one who knows how to use it, not even Alma has the
knowledge how to. Here we are this is where I've been ordered to get you to.
Come back okay?” Kanda said as we stood at the bottom of the fallen ceiling.
Nodding my head I leaned forward and lightly kissed Kanda's lips before turning
and heading up the fallen ceiling seeing Alma standing a ways away near the
edge of the roof. He had his dagger spinning on the tip of his finger. I
unsheathed mine and stepped forward dropping down into a fighting stance water
falling around us.
 
“How's your shoulder Walker?” Alma tauned and I gritted my teeth together.
 
“Fuck you Alma!” I hissed and then ran at him. I flipped over the wall of fire
when he sent it at me landing only a few feet in front of him. I wasn't
surprised to see him widen his eyes in shock. I raised my leg and kicked him
straight in the middle of the chest nearly sending him over the edge of the
building but he rounded on me his knee connecting with the side of my head
causing me to stumble away. Giving him room to step away from the edge of the
building he attacked each other with the blades once we were close enough in
range to. When our blades met small sparks flew from the from the force the
slide among themselves. Alma grabbed me by the neck and slammed my back into
the ground. But I quickly spun on my hands maneuvering my legs to wrap around
his neck swinging him into the air then slamming him into the ground. I heard a
loud gasp escape his mouth as blood trickled down the side of his mouth.
Focusing on the wall I usually create I pushed it into the blade watching as
the Chinese characters lit up a bright lime green before bringing the blade
into the middle of Alma's chest feeling his blade connect into my side.
 
“Neah was right....I should have learned more about this blade.” Alma coughed
out, his skin glowing the dull lime green as it the dagger was sucking it out
of him and into me.
 
“You should have learned to work together with me, we could have changed this
world for the better.” I said beginning to breath heavily.
 
“Well...you were always the....better fighter.” Alma chocked out using the last
of his strength to pull the dagger out of my said as his eyes hazed over and
finally closed, the last of the green light vanishing in me. I felt myself
beginning to fall to the side my strength finally leaving me.
 
“ALLEN!” I heard Kanda's voice as he caught me and lifted me up into his arms.
 
“I didn't want to do it.” I cried out feeling the warm tears falling from my
eyes.
 
“I know, but it had to be done. Let's get you bandaged up.” He said carrying me
back into Anita's. I was rushed to her infirmary where Lulu Bell and Mahoja
worked on getting my wounds closed up with stitches and wrapped. I fell into
blackness when they were halfway through stitching up my shoulder. I sat in the
world between life and death. I know I had lost a lot of blood and was on the
verge and I saw both doors. One was back to my body and the other one was to
the after life. I had a choice standing to my feet I walked towards the door
where my life would end. I could stop everything and be free from all the pain
that I was about to most likely go through. Standing before the door I starred
at it with blank eyes.
 
“Are you really going to leave? Leave everything and everyone behind?” I heard
Wisely's voice and I sighed before a smile graced my lips.
 
“No, not yet. There still things I have to do.” I answer turning around to face
him.
 
“Good because Kanda at this very moment is freaking out. Do you know how long
you've been sitting there?” He asked and I shook my head no.
 
“It's been only a few minutes here.” I answer again.
 
“It's already been a full day on the outside Allen. Everyone is worried so they
sent me in. Neah tried to get to you but you kept rejecting him.” Wisely
explained and I sighed.
 
“Sorry, don't know why, but I'll wake up so everyone will stop worrying.” I say
walking back to the door that would lead me to my body. Wisely was suddenly
gone and I know it was to let everyone know. Lifting my hand up I pressed it
against the door and pushed it open. The blackness came from it and it engulfed
me and I soon find myself opening my eyes to stare at the ceiling above me. I
heard that annoying beeping noise next to me and I groaned slowly sitting up
right as Lenalee walked in with a tray.
 
“Good morning Allen.” She smiled and I smiled back.
 
“Good morning Lenalee.” I answer back and she lays the tray onto the bed
handing me the cup of tea. I nod my thanks to her.
 
“Kanda was forced this morning to help everyone with repairing the damage you
and Alma caused.” She giggled and I couldn't help but laugh with her.
 
“I'm sorry if I scared everyone.” I say and Lenalee only shrugs.
 
“Your uncle said your mind probably needed some time to simmer down from
everything that has happened.” She said and I nodded my head.
 
“I've never killed anyone before, at least to my knowledge I haven't.” I
confess and she sits on the edge of the bed holding her own cup of tea.
 
“None of us have Allen, but the sad part is that from this moment forward we
might have to. Alma may be dead but we're still going to have to worry about
Akuma. They will find a new leader and who knows this one might be even worst
than Alma!” Lenalee explained and I nodded my head. After tea Lenalee helped me
from the bed and we headed to one of the many elevators in the building and
went to the top floor. I wasn't shocked when I saw Cross there standing beside
Anita holding her hand. Those two were so right for one another.
 
“Hey look who's awake!” And then there is Tyki who I just want to pummel at the
moment.
 
“You're the last one I want to see right now!” I hiss crossing my arms across
my chest slight pain from my shoulder going through my arm but I ignored it.
 
“Hey you got me back with that right hook of yours!” Tyki exclaimed pointing
his finger at me and I just narrow my eyes dangerously at him. I didn't want to
deal with this right now.
 
“Hey Tyki I think avoiding Allen for a few days may be in your best interest
Tyki.” Kanda shouted running up. Tyki puffed out his cheeks before walking off,
Lenalee had already run off to find Lavi. Kanda wrapped his arms around me and
I leaned into him not caring that he was all sweaty.
 
“It's good to have you awake again.” He whispered and I smiled so happy to be
back in his arms argain.
 
“Now things will become more complicating. We still have Akuma on us and soon
we will have the Black Order against us.” I explain and Kanda just sighed.
 
“Let them come.”
