Yes, yes, I know I shouldn't be making another story but I decided to dedicate this story to midnightstardust for how awesome she is ^^ not that you previous followers aren't awesome o_o but she draws many things for me and I'm mostly just thankful so, THANK YOU STAR-CHAN! :3 Oh and I don't like the title of this so some suggestions would be nice *sweat drops*
Allen sighed as she walked down the halls of her high school. It wasn't everyday she felt so moody, but she just received some news from Neah about overworking this weekend. This only meant that she'd have to stay with her annoying uncle for the entire weekend. She'd rather stay with Cross...and no one wanted to stay with Cross. No. One. Allen ruffled the wig on her head. It was starting to really become itchy...maybe I should get a new one...would anyone notice? Eh, probably, but I could just say I dyed my hair. Allen reasoned with herself.
"Allen! There you are!" Allen stopped in mid-step and looked behind her to see Lenalee running after her. Oh jeez, what now? Allen watched Lenalee run over and smile brightly. "Lavi wanted me to relay a message to you!" She said cheerfully. Hearing Lavi's name, Allen's heartbeat sped up.
"Why can't he just tell me himself?" Allen asked, not losing her composure.
"Oh, um..." She mumbled awkwardly, causing Allen to raise an eyebrow.
"What is it?" She asked.
"Nothing! Nothing! Anyways, he wanted to know if you wanted to go to his party this weekend." She said. Really? This weekend? Couldn't he choose a better time?!
"Sorry I can't go." Allen replied.
"If it bothers you that much I can get him to tell you himself!" Lenalee panicked.
"What? Oh no! I just...have some work to do this weekend..." Allen interrupted honestly.
"Oh...you have a job? Where do you work?" Lenalee asked with a smile. Shoot.
"Oh...um...er...I work as a secretary for my uncle..." Allen half lied. She worked with her uncle.
"Se...cre...tary?" Lenalee asked, tilting her head. "Where does your uncle work?" Lenalee asked. What is this an interrogation?!
"Not sure, I just do basic things...at home." Allen lied. She really didn't like lying to her friends, but then again...her whole life was a lie to everyone else. Allen winced at that thought.
"Are you lying to me?" Lenalee asked with a pout. How did she know?! Allen thought, not showing her expression of shock.
"No?" Allen replied questionably, her gut twisting.
"Are you sure? I can understand if you really don't want to go since there's going to be alcohol and danci—"
"Well I don't understand." Lavi's voice came from behind Lenalee...and there goes Allen's heart again. She hated feeling like this.
"U-uh, no it's not that I don't want to go!" Allen replied quickly. Lavi raised his eyebrow.
"That's not what Lenalee was saying..." He muttered.
"She thought I was lying when I said I had work over the weekend..." Allen mumbled back.
"Work? You work? Where do you work?" Lavi asked curiously.
"I work at home as a secretary for my uncle." Allen replied flawlessly. Hey, she already told Lenalee such a horrible lie so she might as well use it for everything now. "...or well, at his house anyways..." She said thoughtfully.
"Where does he live?" Lavi asked.
"Um...I don't think I should be giving out my uncle's address without permission." Allen replied. Lavi snorted.
"Gentlemanly as ever, aren't cha?" Lavi asked, patting her back. Allen shrugged, ignoring the so-called 'compliment.' It wasn't really a compliment to her since she was a girl. Not that Lavi knew that...not that anyone knew about that...
Yup, you heard right: everyone thought Allen was a guy.
There was a long explanation for this really, but to put it shortly, Allen was an undercover agent for the Black Order Agency. She had been in the agency since she was eight and she moved around a lot so she never really had any friends or was attached to any. The only reason she moved around a lot though was because her main target she was after moved a lot. Allen had to wear countless disguises as she moved through several different schools. The target had finally settled for Black Order High School, where the main branch of the Black Order was placed. It was a pretty popular agency so people talked about it a lot, but no one knew the secrets withheld in the agency. Allen definitely doubted the target had settled down like everyone else said though since this was where the main branch of the order was held here...the school was named after it for Christs' sake!
Allen shook her head, her thoughts were totally going off topic. "Anyways, Lavi, I really can't come because of work..." She mumbled.
"Wait...your last name is Walker right?" Lavi asked suspiciously. Allen gave him an odd look at that question.
"Yeah, what of it?" She asked.
"Dude! So like, is your uncle Neah Walker?! I heard that he's one of the best agents at BOA!" Lavi exclaimed excitedly. Allen's eyes widened considerably. "That means if you're his secretary, does he like tell you about all his missions?! Oh man, that would be awesome! My lame old Panda doesn't tell me anything!" Lavi whined.
"Um, no he doesn't. That is top-secret stuff, Lavi." Allen explained.
"Well, yeah, but still...oh! So do you have any siblings?! I hear he has a niece in The Order too!" Allen slightly paled at Lavi's claim. Oh crap! Um...um...
"I'm an only child." Allen replied honestly.
"Huh? So Neah has more than one brother? I thought he only had one...or maybe she's adopted..." Lavi muttered. "Or you're lying." Lavi watched Allen for her reaction. She gulped. Oh man...I need to take this subject somewhere else!
"AL-LEN~" They heard a wail come from down the hall. Allen stiffened while Lavi and Lenalee looked around curiously. Allen totally felt Neah right behind her and side stepped so that Neah glomped Lavi instead. Lavi was too surprised at Allen's epic side step to notice Neah hugging the crap out of him. "Oh my goodness I can't wait for today~! I finally get to spend some time with you~!" Neah said excitedly. Allen giggled at the confused expression on Lavi's face. Neah blinked and looked up. "You're not Allen."
"Huh, I kinda had that thought in my head too." Lavi replied smugly. Neah pouted and looked around, spotting his niece and glomping her.
"I missed you so much, my favorite nie—phew!" Neah yelped the last part when Allen stepped on his foot. How he manages as a spy is beyond me. Allen thought bitterly.
"Favorite...so he really does have more than one niece or nephew..." Lavi observed quietly. He then blinked. "Wait, did he just say niephew?" Lavi snickered at the pronunciation. Allen's eyes rolled to the back of her head before she let out a sneeze in Neah's shoulder. Neah flung himself away from her.
"EW! You sneezed on me!" Neah stripped his jacket off and started shaking it everywhere. Allen's eye twitched.
"Really? I couldn't tell." Allen replied back sarcastically. Neah pouted at her sarcasm.
"That was an oddly cute sneeze, Allen." Lenalee commented. The sneeze was a bit high pitched and she sounded somewhat of a kitten. Allen blushed from embarrassment. She probably wouldn't be so embarrassed if they knew she was a girl. Oh god...
"Allen! Do you have a fever? Your face is red?! Oh I'm so sorry for being so mean!" Neah wailed and squeezed her tightly as an 'apology.' Allen's eye twitching became more frequent and she closed her eyes, trying to be as calm as possible.
"Neah, if you don't let me go right now..." Allen muttered bitterly. Lenalee and Lavi were backing away from the very dangerous aura surrounding their friend. They didn't expect Allen to be such a hateful person...
"But Allen! I feel like such a jerk!" Neah wailed. Allen's ears were burning and she couldn't stop herself from landing a fist on his face. He flew back an impressive amount and both Lavi and Lenalee stared wide-eyed at Allen, who was rubbing her hand from the punch.
"Ah, haven't done that in awhile." She sighed happily. Lenalee slowly inched away from Allen while Lavi stared at her in awe.
"Holy shit...that was awesome!" Lavi cheered and glomped his friend. Allen suddenly felt extremely nervous. Neah suddenly felt overprotective but resisted the urge to mutilate the boy hugging his niece very professionally. He just stood up and cleared his throat pretty loudly with a stern look on his face.
"Stupid rabbit, what's taking you so long?!" Kanda asked from behind them with a murderous look in his eyes. He was a little taken aback by the light blush on Allen's face but thought nothing of it. It didn't exactly surprise him that Neah was here either. He knew Neah from his father, who was also in the Black Order Agency.
"Eh? Allen doesn't want to come to the party because he says he has 'work.'" Lavi replied, pouting. Neah's eye twitched.
"Allen does have work. With me." Neah said, snatching Allen by the arm and pulling her away from Lavi's grasp. Kanda stared at Neah weirdly. That look in his eye...he almost looks...protective...like a father shielding his daughter from a boy...Kanda looked between Allen, Lavi, and Neah.
"Well if the innocent Beansprout doesn't want to go, then he doesn't want to go." Kanda barked and smacked Lavi on the head.
"Ow..." Lavi whined. Neah stared at them blankly for a few minutes before erupting into laughter. Their heads snapped over to Neah in an instant.
"Oh god...ha...aha..." Neah laughed breathlessly, holding his gut. Allen was glaring down at him, where he was holding his stomach on the floor. "Wow, that's just too great! I can't believe he...ha...called you innocent! Oh god, I think I'm dying!" Neah laughed, rolling on the floor.
"It isn't even that funny!" Allen yelled at him. Kanda glared at him as well.
"What the fuck?" He asked harshly. Neah wiped a tear and snorted as he stood up straight.
"Ah, that was funny. Allen...innocent..." Neah snorted again. Allen stomped on his foot. "OW!" Neah cried, holding his foot. "Are you wearing steel-toes again!?" He exclaimed. Allen smirked.
"Maybe I am, maybe I'm not." Allen smirked, crossing her arms.
"Not a very gi—entlemanly thing to do." Neah caught himself when he noticed Allen's glare. Kanda narrowed his eyes. What the hell is going on? Kanda thought to himself. Lavi and Lenalee seemed completely oblivious to his screw up. Kanda inwardly shook his head. He was just being paranoid.
"Whatever, let's go stupid rabbit." Kanda growled and started to drag Lavi off.
"Goodbye, Yuu~!" Neah teased and waved. Kanda sent a murderous glare back at Neah, causing the adult to hide behind Allen.
"Call me that again and I'll fucking kill you!" He seethed and stormed away again, Lavi struggling in his grasp and Lenalee following after awkwardly. Allen sighed with relief, somewhat happy that they were finally gone. It was hard to keep her comments back with Neah around. If they were alone and Neah hid behind her, she'd probably boast about being stronger than Neah in a playful way.
"Well, now that they're gone, we should be going too!" Neah cheered happily. Allen glared at him and started walking towards the exit.
"Yeah, yeah, let's just go..." Allen grumbled. Neah jogged over to catch up with her.
"You know, Allen, it's quite unlike you to make friends..." Neah stated.
"Oh shut up...it was totally accidental." Allen informed.
"Really? Care to tell me about it?" Neah asked. He loved listening to Allen's stories about her friends. She didn't talk about them often and she never wanted to introduce them to him. Even now, Allen refused to tell Neah their names. He only knew who Kanda was because of Agent Tiedoll.
"Maybe some other time." She sighed. They were both quiet walking back to Neah's car. When they got inside, Neah decided to bring up what was on his mind.
"When you catch your target...what are you going to do?" Neah asked quietly.
"What do you mean what am I going to do?" She asked.
"I mean...you won't need to go undercover anymore...are you going to tell them about your true identity?" Neah asked. "If they're good friends with you, they shouldn't really even care..." He commented quietly.
"I don't know, Neah, I haven't even gotten that far yet. It's already been 8 years and I still have no idea what the killer looks like. I'm barely getting anywhere with my investigation. If I didn't do missions on the side job, I'm sure I'd be kicked out by now." She replied sadly.
"Allen, you should be happy about this! He's finally settled down now, so of course you're going to catch him." Neah encouraged. Allen narrowed her eyes as she stared at the school building ahead of her. She couldn't believe Neah, she really couldn't. She just had a sickening feeling about her target's motives. What if he was trying to destroy the main branch of The Order? Neah took her silence as rejection and started driving off. As they were driving, they passed by Lavi, who was walking along the sidewalk of the school. Neah stared at her longing gaze with a sad smile. "So, who's that stupid rabbit kid?" Neah asked smugly.
"What do you mean? You should know who he is..." Allen muttered. Neah blinked.
"Why would I know who he is?" Neah asked. Allen looked over at him blankly.
"Well he is the grandson of Bookman." Allen informed. Neah slammed on the brakes.
"Wait, he's Lavi?!" Neah asked. Allen glared at Neah for almost giving her a mini heart attack. "Huh, maybe it wouldn't be so bad if you married him after all..." Neah mumbled aloud. Allen was covered in a scarlet-colored blush.
"M-married?! What the hell are you going on about?!" She shouted.
"Hm? Well you obviously like him." Neah drawled.
"And he obviously thinks I'm a guy!" She countered. Neah blinked before smirking widely.
"So if he knew you were a girl you would marry him?" Neah asked with his Cheshire grin. Allen deadpanned.
"What...NO! I d-didn't s-say that!"
"But you're blushing~!" Neah teased.
"Am not!" Allen spat.
"Whatever you say, Ally~!" Neah sang.
"Don't. Call. Me. That." Allen hissed.
"At least it's better than what Adam calls you." Neah chuckled. Allen grumbled and stared out her window, her eyes finding Lavi again.
It really sucked being in love with your best friend.
Allen wasn't sure when she had started feeling the way she did. She enjoyed being around Lavi ever since she met him, even if she didn't really show it. She usually hid her emotions but as the years passed with Lavi, her mask slowly started to break apart and now she found herself laughing along with everyone else. It really felt nice to have friends, and she felt that she would do anything in the world for them. She even warmed up to Kanda at some point. Her insults no longer felt like insults and she didn't ever take what Kanda said personally. As much as she'd hate to admit it, she also got used to the nickname 'Beansprout.' She didn't want to think about what would happen between them in the near future when they found out her secret...sometimes she wished that they'd never have to find out.
Allen's phone buzzed, bringing her away from her thoughts. She opened up her cell phone (it wasn't really anything that special, but she could text and call so it was fine) and read the text she received. It was from Lavi.
Lavi: So...you really can't come to the party then? :c
Allen sighed and texted him back. She would usually agree to going to Lavi's parties. It's not like she drank or anything she would just hang out and laugh at Lavi's drunken arse along with Lenalee. He did some pretty stupid things when he was drunk. Allen didn't mind all too much most of the time since it usually involved him stripping. Not that she'd ever admit something so embarrassing...she chuckled at the memory and texted Lavi back.
Sent: Yeah sorry I really do have work.
Lavi: Damn...okay D: I'll miss you~
Allen found herself blushing at his immediate response. She received another text seconds sooner.
Lavi: Oh damn that sounded kinda awkward, sorry about that xD
Sent: I didn't take it that way so chill
Lavi: Oh, well how did you take it then? ;)
Allen's eyes widened and she blushed deeper. Neah was having a pretty enjoyable time watching Allen's exchanges with Lavi. Jeez, she probably wouldn't be able to snapchat him if she had the right technology. Neah mused.
Sent: -3- obviously not in the way you took it.
Lavi: XD! Oh my god I'm dying! You're so funny, Beansprout!
Sent: My name is Allen.
Lavi: Really? I had no idea!
Sent: -_-
Lavi: I'm just kidding, Al.
Sent: Right, well, tell me how your party goes!
Lavi: K
Sent: …
Lavi: Don't say it.
Sent: …
Lavi: Don't. Say. It. Beansprout.
Sent: Potassium to you too :P
Lavi: Damn it Allen. -_-'
Sent: :3
Lavi: You little bastard.
Sent: :C
Lavi: STOP TRYING TO MAKE ME FEEL GUILTY! God damn it now I can see your stupid little puppy eyes!
Sent: If they're so stupid then why do they work :P
Lavi: -sigh- Because they're cute.
Allen found herself blushing again. Lavi really didn't know what he was doing to her, did he? Her phone buzzed again and she checked it, smiling when she saw Lavi's message.
Lavi: Damn it that sounded awkward! You're making me awkward, Allen, stop it! OH JEEZ THAT SOUNDED AWKWARD TOO!
Allen giggled at Lavi's distress
Sent: Okay, well I'm at my uncle's house now so I guess I'll text you later...or see you on Monday.
Lavi: Alright see ya Monday.
Allen snapped her phone shut and crawled out of the car. She stretched before snatching the keys from Neah, who was talking on the phone, and walking towards the house. Neah pouted as she started swirling the keys around her index finger. She casually unlocked the door and walked inside. Neah was still talking on the phone when he shut the front door to his house. Allen was relaxing in a chair at Neah's table. She stood up and walked over to the fridge, bending down to see if he had anything good to eat.
"Wow, Allen, I feel hurt. The first thing you do when you come here is look for food?" Neah whined.
"...but I'm hungry..." Allen mumbled and grabbed some chopped lettuce and some dressing. She wandered around for a bowl and fixed herself some salad. She got near the window above the sink where a cupboard was beside it and looked out the window curiously. "...hey...I didn't know Tiedoll lived across from you..." She mumbled, peering out the window to see him sweeping his patio. "Kanda doesn't live with him, does he?" She asked cautiously.
"Huh? Tiedoll? Oh no, Kanda moved out ages ago. Daisya and Chaoji still live there though so you might want to be careful..." Neah replied.
"Hmm, who's Daisya? I know Chaoji is Kanda's brother..." Allen mumbled quietly as she watched Tiedoll sweep. The only reason she knew who Chaoji was was because Kanda would talk badly of him whenever they tried to hang out. Somehow Chaoji knew who Allen was and thought she was a bad person for keeping secrets from her friends and even had the guts to tell her aloud so Allen really didn't like him all too much either.
"Daisya is Kanda's other brother. I wonder why Tiedoll keeps adopting kids..." Neah wondered aloud.
"I wonder why Tiedoll adopted Kanda in the first place." Allen snorted, causing Neah to wince. He didn't like it when she snorted like that...it was so...not-girly-like.
After dumping a little too much Ranch dressing on her salad, Allen put the leftover materials in the fridge and brought her bowl over to the table, scarfing the so-called 'salad' down. Neah winced at her horrible manners. He really wish she would act like a girl sometimes...the dressing around her mouth was more than just annoying.
"Allen..." He mumbled.
"Hm?" She asked mid-chomp.
"You got a little something...all over actually." Neah gestured to his mouth, indicating her mess. She wiped it off with her sleeve and Neah flinched.
"What?" She asked, shoving more salad in her mouth.
"Nothing...just...don't you think that Lavi would want someone with more...manners?" Neah questioned. Allen narrowed her eyes at him.
"What's with you and Lavi all of a sudden?" She asked. He shook his head and sighed, realizing that her terrible manners were probably Cross' fault.
Neah wished she would have more girl friends. Allen grumbled, her chest was feeling rather tight from the under-bullet-proof-vest she was wearing. It really hid her chest well, but it was so suffocating. She didn't like wearing it, but she supposed it was for her own protection. Neah looked out the window and noticed that Kanda and Tiedoll were talking on the porch. That's weird...I wonder what Kanda is doing over...Neah wondered. His phone started buzzing and he looked down to see that Road was calling him. Ah crap...he thought to himself.
"Allen, I'll be right back, Road is...calling...don't just do that without warning me!" Neah blushed, covering his eyes. Allen looked up from where she had torn the vest off so casually.
"You're my uncle, things like this shouldn't bother you." Allen replied.
What Allen didn't notice, was the fact that Kanda's eyes were glued to her.
What...the...fuck...?
"'Things like this'?! Yes, things like this should bother me, Allen!" Neah blushed. "You should want more privacy!" He grumbled and walked out of the kitchen. Allen blinked and tore her wig off.
"Jeez, what's his problem all of a sudden...?" She muttered, wiping her face.
On the other side of the yard, an astounded Kanda was standing there with the most bizarre look on his face. Am I fucking seeing things?! Kanda wondered to himself as he watched her figure completely change. Kanda felt the urge to cover his eyes but he just seemed too intent on watching when he saw her grab at her hair and completely take it off...and then when she rubbed her face and a scar appeared. Kanda had never been so confused in his entire life.
"Eh, Yuu, what are you staring at?" Daisya came out on the patio, shirtless, drying his hair. He was just so curious when he saw the flabbergasted look on Kanda's face that he couldn't help but ask.
"...what...I...don't..." Kanda stumbled over his words, quite unlike him to do so really. Daisya followed his gaze and spotted Allen putting her bowl in the sink.
"What about her?" Daisya asked.
"That's...but...isn't that...Beansprout...?!" Kanda asked, pointing at her with a stern look. Daisya rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, what about it? Oh wait...let me guess, you didn't know?"
"You knew he—she was a girl?!" Kanda asked with the most murderous expression. "...and you didn't fucking tell me?!" Kanda asked.
"Huh? Dude, I didn't know that you didn't know...Pops told me and Chaoji already—oh wait! Yeah, he explained it when you moved out...no wonder you didn't know..." Daisya said.
"Wait...so...I'm not just fucking seeing things?!" Kanda asked, truly hoping that Daisya was just pulling his leg.
"Nope, Allen Walker is most definitely a girl."
