Hola, everyone! I'm back with my new fic! HAHA, this is my first time making a DGM fanfic and it's pretty long in my opinion... But the next one will be slightly shorter.. HAHA, so enjoy :)


Chapter 1 ~ Childhood

ALLEN'S POV

My childhood memories before I was abandoned were both pleasant and unpleasant.

These fragments are all that remain of my early childhood. There are no words, just sounds; my mother's breathy humming in my ear, her voice the most familiar to me, more known than my own hand. My mother's voice is my home and when I am surrounded by her sounds, I sleep peacefully.

My father was a shadowy presence in my life: a silent figure smoking a cigarette, a cough from the living room, a form on the stairs.

When I turned 3, I could remember myself playing with toys that my mother bought for me and when my father returned home, I would jump around in joy, yelling: "Father's back! Father's back!"

As soon as he opened the door, I pounced on him like a tiger. In the winter, his hands were icy cold and they made me scream as they touched my face, pushing me away. I grabbed his fingers and pleaded, "Pick me up! Pick me up!"

"Stop it, son. I'm tired." He would say as he shrugged off his coat.

"Pick me up!" He never did but I said it anyway.

It was strange; he treated the dog better than me. When the dog came up to him, he reached down and stroked her. "Yes," he said in a much kinder tone than he ever used with me, "you're a good, good dog." I stood there watching my father, dumbfounded with tears forming in my eyes.

When I turned 5, just after my birthday, the 25th December, he abandoned me. On that cold, winter night, he stumbled into the house drunk. He took me by the hand and led me out of the house. My mother never knew. She was sleeping in her warm, cozy bed. He led me to the orphanage, gave me to the owner of the orphanage and left. I remembered screaming and pleading before the owner slapped me and dragged me inside. Maybe, he was sick of me and my deformity. People called me; 'Freak' 'Devil's child' 'Abomination'. People started to stay away from my parents, making my father lose his business.

GENERAL POV

"Allen?" Lenalee called out to the young General, who was currently sitting on the bed, deep in thought.

No response.

"Moyashi-chan~" Lavi sang out, hoping to get out a reaction from the silent snowy haired exorcist.

Still no response.

As a bookman, it was natural for Lavi to take notes on everything. And so he did. Allen's eyes were glazed over and they also looked a little sad.

"Che, Moyashi!" Kanda kicked the silver-haired boy, sending him flying away from the bed to the wall with a dull thud.

Allen grunted in pain as he tried to stand up. He brushed the dirt off his clothes, glaring at the raven-haired samurai. Lenalee, Lavi and Kanda (though he did not show it) were surprised at the ferocity of Allen's anger. They've never seen him so angry before.

"Che, moyashi, are you deaf or something?" Kanda smirked, apparently amused and satisfied that he was able to kick the bean sprout.

"It's ALLEN! Do you have a brain problem or something that makes you unable to remember my name? It's just two syllables!" Allen retorted, placing his hands on his hips.

"Che, whatever," Kanda said dismissively as he turned away.

Allen growled and muttered curses in his breath before turning to Lavi and Lenalee with an irritated eye, "Do you need something?"

"Uh…," Lenalee stammered, trying to find the words. "W-we were wondering if you want to –" Lenalee trailed off, slightly frightened as she watched Allen's scowl deepened.

"To?" Allen raised an eyebrow, clearly impatient.

Lavi hurriedly continued for the slightly traumatized Lenalee. "— if you wanted to take a look at the new exorcist! She's a hot chick! She arrived this morning," With a triumphant smile, he pumped his fist into the air, his eyes blazing and said, "When I first laid my eyes on her it was a STRIKE!"

Lenalee forced a laugh at Lavi's antics and then turned to Allen, her short hair bobbing slightly. "So, General Walker? Would you like to head to the canteen to see her?"

Allen ran his hand through his silver hair. "Don't call me that, Lenalee. Let's go, I'm getting hungry," Allen smiled, obviously cheered up at the mention of the canteen, his favourite place.

Lavi clapped his hands together and said cheerfully, "Okay, it's decided! Let's go!" As he grabbed Allen's gloved hand, Allen quickly cut in.

"Er, I have to change first. Can you please get out?"

"We're all guys, Moyashi-chan~ Why are you so afraid?"

Lenalee hesitantly raised her hand and said, "I'm not a guy, Lavi."

"OH ME GOSH! I'M SO SORRY, LENALEE!" Lavi yelled and went on his knees, bowing non-stop.

"Che, baka usagi," Kanda said as he left the room.

"Wait, Kanda! Where are you going? Lavi, come on! Let Allen change in peace!" Lenalee cried out as she went out of the door, dragging Lavi and stopping Kanda from going without them in the process.

Allen stood there, dumbfounded before hurrying into the bathroom to brush his teeth and to change his clothes. He quickly donned his exorcist uniform and rushed out to find Lavi with a certain Mugen pressed on his throat with its owner snarling angrily and Lenalee trying to calm them down.

"Let's go," all of them were startled when Allen's voice pierced through them and they quickly froze on what they were doing.

Lavi sighed in relief when he realized it was Allen. "Mou, Allen, you're sounding more General-like nowadays. You nearly gave me a heart attack."

"I guess the meetings influenced me a little too much," Allen commented as they walked through the grey corridors.

Lenalee giggled as she ran to Allen's side. "Good morning, General!"

Allen resisted the urge to roll his eyes and instead complained, "Lenalee, don't call me that! I hate that title!"

Lavi smirked. "Well, you have to get used to it eventually. You'll have that title until the war is over… So bear with it buddy!"

Allen groaned and ran a gloved hand through his hair once again. "I hate it," he grumbled grudgingly.

Soon, they could hear the usual hustle and bustle in the canteen as all the finders and exorcists ate their breakfast. Lavi slung his arm around Allen's shoulder and whispered in his ear, "Look, the new exorcist is over there. Eating with her parents," he pointed at a table that consisted of a girl with chestnut brown hair wearing normal clothes and two finders: the man had the same hair colour as his daughter while the woman had beautiful, long blond hair. Seeing their hair, Allen was reminded of his previous hair colour before he was cursed.

"General Walker," a voice from behind Allen was heard all of a sudden.

Allen turned around to find a familiar blonde hair man, holding a notebook in his hand and a pen in the other. "What is it, Link?" he asked.

"Supervisor Komui asked me to pass this message to you," Link replied solemnly, his eyes scanning his notebook for the particular message.

"About?" Allen prompted, wondering if it would be a mission as it had been ages since he went out of the Black Order.

"It's about the new exorcist," Link answered, his eyes never leaving his small book.

Allen was aware that the other three beside him was listening intently to their exchange but he paid no heed to them as he continued to force the answers out of Link, who was giving information slowly. Allen nodded towards Link and asked, "What about her?"

"I assume you've met her," Link said. When Allen gave as shake of his head, he raised an eyebrow in surprise. "You haven't? I thought you'll usually be the first to do so. Never mind that. She will be your first apprentice, General."

Allen felt his eyes widen in shock. "A-apprentice?" he stammered in surprise. Beside him, the other three radiated hints of shock but they kept quiet as they faced forward, talking among each other.

"Yes," Link confirmed. "I'm sure you have been informed," when Link shot a dirty look at Lavi before continuing, "that she comes in a package. Wherever she goes, her parents requested that they wanted to be by her side."

"What devoted parents," Allen murmured softly but it was loud enough for Link to hear.

"Yes," he agreed. "I've never seen such devoted parents before. That girl must be very lucky." A rare smile tugged on the blonde man's lips.

Suddenly, a sound like thunder echoed through the canteen, making those who knew very well who it was laugh while those who had no idea look around confused by the laughter.

Allen flushed as he brushed past the others to Jerry to order his breakfast. "Hey, Jerry."

"Allen-chan~ What can I help you today?"

"Hmm… Let's see. I want…." Allen listed the food that he wished for with ease. After what seemed like an hour, Allen completed his breakfast with the last order, "…and 20 – no, 30 sticks of mitarashi dango!"

"Okay~ It'll be done soon~" Jerry replied as he went back to his cooking in a twirl to serve Allen's humongous stomach.

Allen stumbled slightly at the weight of the plates of food on his arms as he reached the table where Lenalee and the rest were sitting and plopped down. "Itadakimasu~" he said before gobbling the food in superhuman speed.

After a few minutes, Allen placed his spoon and fork down before saying, "Gocchoushisama~" (Is it correct?)

"God, Allen," Lavi said, a lopsided grin on his face. "You're awesome! You've set a new record!"

"Really?" Allen asked as he wiped his mouth with a handkerchief Lenalee handed him. "A new record? How long?"

"It's…" Lavi imitated a drummer, making the sound of drums rolling. "6 MINUTES!"

Allen did a small 'ooh' before standing up to send the plates for washing. He nearly slipped as the weight of the plates bore upon him. Suddenly, a soft, feminine voice interrupted his struggle.

"Do you need help?"

He turned with a little effort and he found himself face to face with the new exorcist, holding a plate in her hands. "Oh, you're the new exorcist. It's okay, I do this everyday." He smiled as he walked on.

She smiled gently back. "I'm Carolyn Grant. Nice to meet you," she bowed slightly.

"Allen Walker. Pleased to be your acquaintance," he replied, smiling in return. Carolyn's eyes widened as she heard his name. He was about to ask her what was wrong when suddenly he was interrupted.

"Walker," Link came forward. "Hurry up; you have a meeting to attend to. And after that, lots of reports to help me with."

He placed the plates down and turned to face him. "I understand. I'll be there in a minute," Allen then turned back towards the gaping girl and extended his hand. "Please to meet you, Carolyn"

She extended her hand and shook it. Allen noted that she had a bracelet with a green diamond studded on it on her arm. "Well, I have to go now. See you later," Allen smiled at her as he released her hand and turned to follow Link out of the canteen.

Carolyn stood there dazed until her parents called for her. She rushed to them and told them what she just found out.

The man then spoke, "He said his name was Allen?"

"It must be a coincidence, dear," the woman spoke. "There are a lot of people who has the name 'Allen' in this world."

"But…," Carolyn dipped her head down, disappointed. "I just wanted…"

The woman gave her a reassuring hug as she realized what her daughter meant. Lavi couldn't help listening to their conversation as it sounded really interesting.

What about the name 'Allen'? How interesting…

Meanwhile, Allen was in a meeting with Komui and the other Generals as they gave him advice on how to treat an apprentice. Currently, only Froi Tiedoll was present as the other two Generals were away with a mission.

"….nice to them and give them lots of treats. Shower them with happiness, Allen," Froi Tiedoll was saying as Allen tuned in and out from the meeting. It was so boring!

"Okay, enough, General Tiedoll," Komui interrupted the General. "I'm sure General Walker understands."

Allen shot Komui a grateful smile which Komui returned and the supervisor then addressed Allen, "So, basically, you have to teach your student on how to destroy akuma and their duties as an exorcist."

Allen nodded as he took in the information. Komui then continued on in a business-like tone. "She still has not been informed on which General will take her in. You will be introduced to each other during the welcome party later. Lenalee is showing them around right now. You should join them."

Link interrupted before Allen could answer, "He has paperwork to do."

Allen pouted in disappointment as General Tiedoll chuckled slightly. "Why don't you let him go for once, Inspector Link?"

"I need to watch over him," Link replied in a monotone. "I can't afford him to go running off."

"Hah, that's too bad… And I was hoping Al— I mean, General Walker could have a bonding session with his new apprentice." Komui sighed in disappointment. He then turned his puppy eyes on Link. "Please?"

Tiedoll's ears perked up when he heard the word 'bonding' and he immediately sat up straight and turned towards the blonde inspector. "I second Komui's request."

I will not give in, Link thought over and over again. I will not give in. I will not give in. I will not give in.

When Allen joined the puppy eyes pleading look group, Link withered slightly under the pressure. Wiping his forehead with his handkerchief, he gave in, muttering, "Alright… But only for this one time!" He pointed a shaky finger at the three occupants in the room.

"Thank you, Link," Allen smiled at his stalker while the other two occupants high-fived and danced for joy.

Link hmphed and walked away to the library, slamming the door shut in the process. Allen turned towards Komui and Tiedoll who were still doing their victory dance. "Thank you, Komui-san, Tiedoll-san."

"It's okay. It's my pleasure to help you, plus, I was irritated with that guy following you everywhere," Komui sniffed delicately.

Tiedoll just smiled at Allen and proceeded to leave the room. Komui patted his back and gave him a playful shove towards the door. "Now, go along, find them. BUT DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH MY DEAR LENALEE!"

Allen winced at the sudden outburst and proceeded to find them. Surprisingly, he found them at the entrance of the Order, just about to start showing them around when Allen appeared.

"Allen-kun!" Lenalee exclaimed when she saw him, holding a clipboard in one arm. "How was the meeting with my brother?"

"It was normal, except for the fact Tiedoll-san kept droning on about love and art and love again," Allen replied airily, waving his gloved hand in the air.

"To think that the gentlemanly Allen Walker is complaining about someone," Lenalee said in a detective-like tone. "By the way, would you like to follow us?" She gestured at the three people behind her.

Carolyn who was deep in conversation with her parents had looked up and noticed Allen, "Allen-san!"

"Hello, Carolyn," he smiled gently at her before looking at her parents who were clinging onto each other. He extended his hand towards the both of them and said politely, "I'm Allen Walker. Nice to meet you."

The man shook his hand first firmly and introduced himself gruffly. "Peter Grant."

The woman took his hand shyly and said softly, "Christine Grant."

A strange feeling hit Allen head on as he shook hands with them. They seem very familiar. Argh! I must be hallucinating. It must be because I had that daydream about my childhood.

He withdrew his hand and turned to Lenalee, "I'll be following you guys. I get lost too often so here I am."

Lenalee giggled softly. "True. Your sense of direction is really off."

Hearing that, Allen went to his emo corner, "To hear it directly from someone makes me feel sad…"

"AH! Allen, sorry!" Lenalee cried out before dragging him back to his feet.

"By the way, where are Lavi and Kanda?" Allen asked as they walked through the grey corridor, occasionally stopping to show the three new people where what was for example, like the library.

"Oh, Lavi's with the Bookman while Kanda is in his training room, meditating," Lenalee replied. After a while, Lenalee opened a door and gestured towards it, "This is the library." Before she could say anything else, a bundle of red hair rushed towards Allen.

"ALLEN! TWO SPOTS IS MAKING ME DO HIS PAPERWORK!" Lavi cried as he clung on Allen, shedding crocodile tears as the latter tried to pry the crying rabbit off his body.

"Walker," out of the blue, Link said. "If you're done, come back here and help me. This baka usagi is being a nuisance and he's so not helping. I would appreciate it if you would hurry back here." Out of a sudden, he appeared right behind Lavi and pulled him off Allen. "You're helping me, Lavi Bookman."

"NO!" Lavi wailed and thrashed about. "LENALEE~ SAVE ME!" Suddenly, a book smashed right into Lavi's face and he fainted from the force.

Link frowned and looked up to find the cause of it. A few meters away, stood Bookman panting heavily with a book in his hand. "SHUT UP, YOU IDIOT! THIS IS THE LIBRARY!"

Lavi sat up slowly, wincing as he rubbed his bruised nose. "But you're shouting too, Panda-jiji," Lavi grinned but it quickly faltered as a mountain of books came upon him.

Link made a shooing gesture, adjusting his spectacles in the process. "Come back another day. The library is in chaos – I mean, closed."

Lenalee shut the door abruptly. Suddenly, it was silent once again except for a couple of shouts. The five of them stood there staring at the door when suddenly it opened to find a bruised Lavi on the floor, grabbing Lenalee's ankle in the process.

Lenalee shrieked and activated her innocence. She gave Lavi a bruising kick, sending him flying back to the Bookman. Allen quickly shut the door, the golden earring in his ear jingled as he did so. He laughed nervously. "Can we go to the next one now, Lenalee?"

Lenalee nodded as she tried to calm her breath down from the heart attack. They started walking towards the rooms when suddenly a wail was heard above them and Komui came by with Komurin, yelling, "WHO MADE MY LENALEE CRY?"

The five of them sweatdropped as they noticed that Komurin was heading towards them. With a startled cry, Lenalee quickly opened the nearest door and flung them all inside as Komurin came crashing by with Komui laughing maniacally on top.

"Oi, what the fuck are you doing here?"

"Oh, Kanda," Allen said in a calm tone. "This is your training room? It looks like a dojo in Japan!"

"Don't make me repeat myself, moyashi," Kanda snarled angrily. "I asked; what the fuck are you doing here?"

"It's Allen," the snowy haired exorcist responded automatically. "Komurin came crashing by, so Lenalee saved the day by throwing us in here."

"What the fuck?" Kanda growled dangerously, making the family flinch. "That shit is doing it again?"

"Yeah," Allen responded in a non-caring tone.

Lenalee, at the moment was apologizing to the small family. "I'm sorry you had to see all that on your first day."

"It happens almost everyday," Allen added. "So you might as well get used to it."

"My brother can be very…" Lenalee trailed off as Kanda cut in.

"An overprotective robotic idiot," Kanda suggested although his tone meant it as a statement of fact.

Suddenly, Lenalee stood up. "Dark Boots, activate!" Her pale face scrunched up in horror as she activated her innocence before yelling towards Allen, "Stop Komui from entering the kitchen! At all cost!" And with a blast, she disappeared out from the door.

As Allen struggled to understand what she meant, Kanda sighed deeply and said, "Moyashi, the canteen. If it's destroyed, no dinner."

"It's AL-LEN," he snapped as he realized what Lenalee meant. "Crowned Clown, activate." His white cloak billowing behind him and his mask on his face, he turned to Kanda and gave him an order as General Walker, "Take care of them. If Komui enters back here," Allen narrowed his eyes serious, "destroy Komurin, straightaway."

"Che," Kanda stood up and grabbed Mugen on the way. "You don't need to tell me that, moyashi. I'll destroy every single creation he makes."

With a nod, Allen changed his left hand into a sword, making sure that the small family did not see his left hand before proceeding out. The family sat there, unable to move at the majestic appearance of Allen's innocence.

Kanda smirked viciously as he activated his own innocence. "Mugen, activate. Bring it on, moyashi."
