A/N: Hey all my lovely -man fans, hope you all had a happy new year and what not. Anyway the other day I was reading over some old stories of mine while sorting out transferring files and what not to the new computer and I came across my little three snippets and thought I would do a few more, for those of you who don't know them they are Snow, Deal and Date and as such you should read them before reading this one. Enjoy and do leave reviews.

Storm
Location: Dark Order HQ.
Pacing back and forth Lenalee Lee considered the large door before her. She really didn't want to enter the room beyond it at the moment. Cupping her hands in front of her body she thought over the coming storm that was her overprotective brother.
'Come on, you can face an army of Akuma so why would this be any different? It's just telling brother I have a boyfriend now. It's not like he is going to kill Allen… right?' The vision of her brother standing over the bloodied body of her newly official boyfriend flashed through her mind, making her shudder.
Taking another deep breath she slowly approached the door and opened it, sticking her head in and calling out to the scientists and other researchers in the room, "Hey guys… is my brother here?"
A long line of pointing fingers indicated the back of the room where a large pile of papers seemed to be moving. Lenalee nodded her thanks and walked over to the pile, reaching a hand in and feeling around until she found her brother's shoulder.
When her gentle shake did not stir the man she moved the papers aside and watched him sleep for along moment. With a sigh Lenalee considered the situation and decided not to wake him in the usual manner. She would simply state why she was here while he was asleep, after all that was sure to wake him. She would be able to calm him before he got to his feet and went after Allen with a vengeance.
Sitting on the edge of the desk after pushing aside more of the papers, Lenalee closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "I'm going out with Allen tonight, brother, as he asked me to be his girlfriend after dinner last night. And I accepted."
Silence. All activity in the room ceased as everyone looked at her as if she was insane. A moment later there was a wordless screech and Komui was up and running for the door much faster than she had thought he would be able to.
His scream echoed throughout the Order a moment later, "ALLEN WALKER YOU ARE A DEAD MAN FOR TOUCHING MY SISTER!"
"Brother, he has been a gentleman to me at all times! Calm down and get back here!" Lenalee called out, getting to her feet to give chase as the tail of his white coat disappeared through the door.
Rushing to the door and peering into the hall there was no sign of her brother and given the length of the hall she had to wonder if he had somehow planted Innocence in his legs to be able to move that fast.
Down in the kitchen Allen looked up at the scream and paled, glancing at Lavi and Krory as he leapt from the seat. "Got to go… I just remembered something I had to do in town."
He bolted, running at his best speed and ignoring the laughter of everyone in the cafeteria as he shot out of the dining hall and into the hallway. Sounds of his retreating footsteps beat a sharp and rapid beat through the complex for a few moments only to be broken off with a scream of surprise.
"Got you!" Komui's voice sounded out a moment later along with Allen's cries for mercy.
A mass exodus ensued with the cafeteria emptying in a stampede in to time to witness Allen being pulled up to the higher levels of the complex in a net, tears running down his face as he begged to be saved. Looking up the watchers observed Komui at the other end of the long rope, a large and particularly evil looking smile on his face as he waved a chainsaw in plain view.
"Komui show mercy! I was a gentleman to her on both dates! I promise not to do anything without her say so! I'll be sure to keep five feet between us on the rest of our dates! I'll take on the Earl right now if you like, but please spare me!" Allen screamed to Komui, activating his arm a moment later in an attempt to cut his way out of the net, only to discover it was made from some kind metal thread that was highly resistant to the blows of his large claw.
"Touch my sister will you?! Taking her out to dinners without my say so were you?! I'll cut you to ribbons and mail the parts to the Earl!" Komui's insane little laugh sent chills up Allen's back.
The laugh turned to a startled scream a moment later as he went flying out into the open air, falling down the central shaft and stopping himself from becoming a part of the tile work in the main entry hall by grabbing a hold of the net mid way down, making it swing wildly off to one side.
Lenalee poked her head out over the walkway from where she had just kicked her brother and sighed. It looked as though she might have just handed Allen to Komui on a silver platter as the net was swinging toward the north hallway outlet which led down to Komui's lab. Allen was screaming his defiance's into Komui's face as the man was trying to inject him with some unknown drug.
"Brother if you harm a hair on his head I'm going to kick you into the city from here!" Lenalee called out, climbing onto the railing and jumping down, her boots changing shape as she fell, green trails of flames following her all the way down.
Komui either didn't hear or didn't care as he managed to get the net and himself onto the north side walkway and quickly cutting the normal rope, grasped the metallic net and pulled Allen up and over his shoulder, before vanishing down the hallway at a dead run.
Lenalee come to a stop a few seconds later out in the open well, where the rope was swaying back and forth., her eyes fixed on the walkway, intent on saving Allen from her brother before it was too late.
"There is no way I'm letting you harm a hair on his head." Lenalee snarled beginning to get more than a little upset with her brother's over protective attitude.
She wasn't a frightened little girl anymore and it was about time Komui accepted it.
"Lavi, stop laughing and head down two levels. Take the east hallway and make a right at the end of the hall and try to cut my brother off before he gets to his lab. Krory, let the Head Nurse know if I get my way, my brother is likely to be showing up soon to be treated for a large range of injuries. Then I want you to find Miranda and head to my brother's main laboratory in the basement." Lenalee glared at the two men before taking off down the hallway to give chase, a number of smirking Finders diving out of the way of the upset girl.
Lavi nodded to Krory and, planting his hammer on the floor with a bang, made the handle grow out enough to swing himself down onto the stipulated level. Krory rolled his eyes in amusement and made a running leap out into the open and fell the needed number of floors to get to the hospital wing, landing without a problem and running the moment his feet hit the ground.
"Komui, I know you are very protective of Lenalee and that we shouldn't have hidden this from you, but do you really want… CUT MY ARM OFF! OH GOD, LEANLEE! ANYONE! HELP!"
Allen screamed as Komui muttered about cutting his arm off and sending him on a mission to the Earl. His ravings then proceeded to involve Alan and a large range of knives sticking out of his anatomy in various sundry assorted places designed to ensure the most hurt.
"Touch my sister and pay the price Allen Walker!" Komui raved, coming around a corner only to turn sharply at the sight of Lavi blocking the passage.
"Lenalee! He's heading back towards you, trying to get down another level! What do you want me to do?" Lavi turned to his Golem where it hovered next to his head and a moment of static cleared into Lenalee's voice.
"Stay with him! I'm heading down to the lab itself. I'm likely going to meet him there as the chances are there are hidden entrances all over the building. Krory and Miranda are blocking the main one, however, so we should be able to catch him before anything happens to Allen."
Lavi nodded, still grinning like a loon and started running after the madman, knowing which of the two evils named brother and sister he wanted to stay on the good side of.
Lenalee won hands down.
A few minutes later Komui, laughing maniacally, entered his main lab and threw the bolts to seal all bar one entrance, reserving that one for his escape should he require it. He didn't want anyone stopping him from having a long talk with Allen Walker about his sister. The pounding on the main door let him know that someone was on the other side, trying to get in and stop him from doing anything to his captive.
"Nothing they can do now will stop me, Allen my boy. You're all mine to do with as I wish for the next few hours at least. It will take them that long to beat those doors down."
Komui produced his most evil smile yet and proceeded to strap the whimpering Allan down to the table and injected him with a drug. With the chainsaw in one hand and a large drill in the other Komui considered his victim.
'Lenalee, he's going to cut me up and I have no idea what he has done to my body! All I know is I can't move... sorry, but I did try to get out of his net.' Allen found himself unable to move or speak, and could only wonder how Lenalee put up with a brother who wouldn't let anyone get really close to her.
Komui loomed over Allen, smiling evilly to keep up his victim's terror, knowing that would be the extent of his revenge as this was designed purely to scare the living daylights out of Allen and keep him honest in his dealings with Lenalee. He had to make certain Lenalee would be treated right and he had no illusions as to having to pay for this when Lenalee reached them, but for now he had Allen at his mercy. Just as the drill was about to touch his arm the wall next to the main door was blown into a vast cloud of small pebbles.
Stepping through the billowing dust was someone Allen would forever call his Angel, but whom Komui now though of as the devil incarnate judging by the look in her eyes. "Drop that drill this minute brother and back away from my boyfriend, before I forget we are related and treat you the same way I treat Akuma." Lenalee hissed and walked forward slowly.
Komui looked down at Allen then to the drill in his hand, then over at Lenalee. He repeated the sequence a few times, noting the evil light in her eyes growing with each passing second, and decided perhaps discretion was the better part of valour. His sister's anger was like a storm gathering and would break over his head at any moment.
Maybe he had pushed the lesson just that little bit too far? In the interests of self preservation, and he did indeed intend to remain amongst the living, there seemed only one option available to him.
He ran.
Allen watched in shock as Komui, saying he would catch up with him later and they would talk, alone, about him dating his sister. Lenalee payed no attention to her brother as she calmly cut the bonds holding Allen down and helped him sit up when it became clear the drug Komui had injected him with was still in effect.
"Lenalee, Angel. You saved me. Remind me to buy you a large present." Allen whispered.
Lenalee helped him to his feet and supported him through the large hole in the wall.
"It's my fault you were in this mess, but don't worry. I'll have a long talk with my brother before I allow him near you again." She headed for the hospital wing, calling over her shoulder to Krory and Miranda who were staring at the ruins of the wall. "Help the Finders hunt down my brother and bring him to me when you find him."
As the two Exorcists ran after the Finders, Lavi moved to help the girl, slinging Allen over his shoulder. Lenalee peered into Allen's eyes and kissed him gently on the lips, whispering so that only Allen, and Lavi's very well trained ears, could hear her.
"I love you, Allen Walker, and you had better get better and take me out to dinner tonight, as you promised."
Allen sighed softly. "Love you too. Thanks for saving me."
As Lavi carried him through headquarters, Lenalee at his side, Allen kept an ear out for any sounds that might be Komui returning.
