Innocence's Dreams

Summary: What if Road's and Allen's situation got switched? That it Road that got adopted by Mana and Allen is the First Child of the Noah Clan? How would the situation differ then?


"Bye-bye, akuma~", a playful voice said.

The ball-shaped level one akuma exploded in mid-air then a young teenager landed almost gracefully on the ground. The teen had a white spiky hair which reached down just above her shoulders. She had a long sleeved blouse with a tied red ribbon and a black short skirt in a lolita gothic style. A flying gold ball with wings fluttered towards her and rested on her head.

"Ne, think we should head there now?..", Road asked the golem. Her scar was visible in the moonlight. It went through her left eye and ended in a pentacle. The golem flew from her head and began to lead the way.

"Okay, Timmu~", she said giggling. She happily followed the golem.. Their destination... The Black Order.

"The Black Order's above that cliff?...", Road asked as she glanced at the high cliff. Timcanpy seemed to nod. Road pouted."Why did they have to build it up there?.."

Reluctantly, she began climbing it but then she had an idea... She was suddenly covered in a white cloak with a fur shawl. Road grabbed Timcanpy by the tail."Let's go, Timmu!"

The cloak supported her and within minutes she reached the top of the cliff. The cloak quickly disappeared. She skipped happily towards the gate, not realizing that Timcanpy got swayed carelessly. Road peered at the weird gate and glanced around."Anyone here?...", she asked."General Cross sent me here~..."

"Who's that girl?...", a chinese man asked, sipping his coffee.

"Supe..", Reever greeted,"She said she was sent by General Cross..."

"Komui-nii...", a young lady with long dark green hair tied in pigtails greeted. She had a black uniform on with a rose cross embedded on it.

"A girl sent by Cross?... I didn't received any letter..", Komui Lee answered.

"Oh?", Reever asked."Then what should we do?..."

"Let's just have her scanned by the gate.."

Reever turned to his earpiece."... Activate the gate's search function."

~Innocence's Dreams~ ~Innocence's Dreams~

Road turned as she noticed the weird gate moved."Uhh... Hello?", she said uncertainly.

She back stepped a little as the face bulged out. Lights came out of its eyes and began scanning Road. She tensed a little but then eased. The weird gate suddenly shrieked."AAAaaah! She's out of here! She's an akumaaa! An akuma!..."

"Eh?", Road exclaimed, slightly insulted."I'm not some stupid akuma!"

Out of nowhere, a guy with long blue hair tied in a ponytail dropped on top of the gate. He was wearing a black coat with silver linings. He unsheathed a katana and pointed it blandly at Road."You're quite brave to come alone here, akuma..."

"I'm not an akuma!", Road pouted, slightiy swaying the forgotten dizzy golem that she was holding.

"Tch...", the guy grunted and leaped from the gate."First Illusion: Insect of the Underworld!"

Insect-like things appeared and attacked Road. The teen easily dodged the attack. The guy dropped to the ground and launched another attack. A heart-shaped door appeared behind Road then opened up. She leaped backwards into it then the door closed up and disappeared.

Kanda immediately scanned the surroundings but it was completely empty. Where did that girl go? He was busy trying to find Road that she didn't noticed the door appeared behind him. All he knew was that he was suddenly covered in white and someone was hanging onto him. He didn't have enough time to defend himself as he felt something sharp came in contact with his neck..

Road slightly moved the claw, drawing up some blood."I'm not an akuma, stupid exorcist...", she said in a cold tone. This alerted Timcanpy. He quickly flew towards Road and lamely tried to pull her away from the exorcist but got swatted away. Timcanpy was sent stumbling in mid-air.

Road grinned then licked the blood on her claw."Stupid exorcist~", she said in a playful tone,".. Ne, my stupid Master said I shouldn't kill exorcists... Doesn't mean I'm not allowed to hurt one, right?..."

She suddenly felt something lift her up. She peered over her shoulder and saw what lifted her. It was a hammer.

"Oi, Road..", a seemingly familiar voice called.

"E-eh, Nii-san?..."


Road was still pouting as they sat inside the supervisor's office."I rarely have fun and you just have to spoil it...", she complained.

"S-sorry?", the red-head asked uncertainly.

"You know each other, Lavi?", Lenalee asked.

"Sort of..."

Road leaned over the couch and hanged onto Lavi. She swayed her legs carelessly. Somehow, Lavi can feel something bad is going to happen."You should make up for it, ne Nii-san?"

"E-eh?"

Road grinned. The heart-shaped door appeared behind her and opened up. Lavi was pulled back into it with Road. After seven minutes, Road came out of it. Timcanpy flew from the couch and perched on Road's shoulder.

"Where's Lavi?", Lenalee asked.

The answer she got was a giggle from Road. Lenalee glanced at the open door. A very beautiful lady came out of it. She was wearing a long pink gown with lots of ruffles and a huge black ribbon... Wait, why does the lady seem familiar to Lenalee... And the eyepatch."L-lavi?..."

The lady nodded grimly. Lenalee giggled."I didn't recognize you, Lavi..."

"... This isn't funny", Lavi whined. He was glad Kanda wasn't there.

Road stuck out her tongue at Lavi."It's your fault...", she said and turned to Timcanpy."... Right, Timmu~?"

Tim seemed to nod and Road let out a small yawn. Lenalee smiled at her."... You should rest now. It's already late. We'll just examine your Innocence tomorrow..."

"'kay..", she said as she followed Lenalee to her room. She lunged herself on the bed as Lenalee left. She looked up at a painting at the wall. It was a clown tied in a chain. She placed a hand on the painting and smiled to herself.

"... Mana."

'Isn't it rather cold to be outside, young lady...'

It sounded faint at first but then the blue haired lass looked up. Her clothes was slightly torn and was covered in dried blood. She had a pair of emotionless purple eyes. She was playing with a knife in her hands which the man took.

'... You shouldn't play with knives...', the man said in a gentle voice.

'... What do you want?'

'... It's Christmas.. You should be with your family.'

'... I don't have any'

'That's terrible...', the man said and crouched in front of the girl. He gave her a warm smile.'Can I be your family then?...'

'My f-family?...'
