Chapter 1 – The beginning of Hell .
Snow covered over the vast fields like a winter wonderland as I watched in amazement. Everything felt fuzzy … like a hazy dream. Mana's outstretched hand welcomed me as I took it in my own. He pulled me across the field into an open area where foot prints didn't break it from it's own beauty and Mana started to draw characters in the snow with a stick. I watched in fascination for I was oblivious to what he was writing, to me, it seemed like foreign characters. As he slowly began to draw the end of the circle, Mana pulled me close and held my shoulders. He whispered quickly, yet quietly through the winter air, " Allen. This is our language. Others in which they must never know of. You may understand later on as you progress in your adolescence." As he told me this, he stood. He brushed past me and walked on through the fields. I turned quickly calling for him to come back with the fear of being alone forever , " Mana … Mana ! Where are you going? Don't leave me… please Mana."
I gasped for air as if I've been drowning. I looked around quickly trying to take in my surroundings. I finally relaxed as I realized I was still in my bedroom at Headquarters. Sweat clung to my face as I knew then, that it was all a dream. I put my head in my hands and thought, "Why… out of all times. Why do I keep having dreams about him, why?" As I sat there in my small bed, dreading in my own despair, I looked up. I can't just sit around all day, wallowing in self-pity. I always have to keep my head help up high. I brushed my bed covers aside and walked over to my dresser. I pulled out my usual exorcist clothing and changed quickly. It was only 5 AM as I saw on my desk clock. So then, I headed down to the cafeteria where there seemed to a big commotion going on and a frying pan came flying past my face.
"YOU D*** B******. YOU TAKE HIM TO HIS F***ING SCHOOL CAUSE I'M NOT A GOD*** BABYSITTER," exclaimed Kanda as he drew his sword at Lavi.
Lavi was twirling his minature sized hammer in between his fingers as I could notice veins popping out at every angle. The hammer started to grow and other exorcists and lab workers scurried to get out of their way. Lenalee was trying desperately to break up their dispute over something stupid I suppose. I walked in nonchalantly trying not to involve myself with their silly little problems. It seemed as though they threw every food that was made at each other since it seemed to decorate the floors and the walls. I noticed an untouched bowl of cereal so I grabbed that and sat by a table that had a clear view of their dispute.
Lavi exclaimed, "Do you think I give a f***? I swear to god, we can take turns or something. But you have to go first Kanda. It's what the Director said so you have to do it!"
Kanda stances in a fighting pose with his sword, daring Lavi to say more. You could just feel the threatening aura around them. Lenalee spotted me as I was eating my cereal and she rushed over saying, "Oh Allen-kun, please break their stupid fight up."
I sighed, feeling as though it was my job, I shouted, "LAVI, KANDA. SHUT UP AND STALK BICKERING LIKE LITTLE BI****. AND GET OVER YOUR STUPID DISPUTE OVER SOMETHING PROBABLY POINTLESS." I sat back down as they both looked at me in surprise then that look slowly changed into anger.
I picked up another spoonful of cereal and put it in my mouth as they shouted simultaneously at me, "SHUT UP BEAN SPROUT. WE'RE FIGHTING ABOUT WHICH ONE OF US HAS TO TAKE YOU TO SCHOOL." I choked on my cereal and said with a mouthful, "SCHOOL?"
I tried to regain my ability to speak as Lavi and Kanda look at me with a dumbfounded. There was absolute silence other than the fact that I was trying to cough up Frosted Flakes. Lenalee decided to break the silence by asking, "My brother didn't tell you about it?"
I replied with utter shock, "No, I don't believe he did. Why in the hell would I go to school? I'm an exorcist that doesn't need basic education such as high school."
Lenalee muttered, "God, my idiot brother."
She quickly grabbed my wrist and dragged me down throughout the walls until I stood before Komoui-san's door. Lenalee knocked frantically on the door multiple times and waited. After a minute without a response, she opened the door and a river of papers and books came flowing out. Lenalee and I choked from all the dust particles.
Lenalee whined, "Brother! Why can't you keep your office clean?"
We looked up as there was a looming pile of books and there on top was Komoui-san sitting nonchalantly within that pile of a mess.
Komoui-san jumped down off the tower of books and greeted her warmly, "Why hey there my cute darling Lenalee-chan! Did you miss me baby?"
Lenalee got right to the point, "Brother! Why didn't you tell Allen about him having to go to school. After all, he's the one who should have been notified first and especially considering the fact that you put Lavi and Kanda in charge of taking him to school. I could have done that!"
He replied calmly, "Oh, well it must have slipped my mind Lenalee, I'm so sorry. And I could never have you do such a horrible job. It's not your right to babysit the dear exorcists. I can leave Lavi and Kanda to do my dirty work, haha!"
I clenched my fists and said, "Komoui-san, why must I attend school? What purpose is there or is there an ulterior motive to this?"
He smiled a sly grin and replied, "Well you are our legendary exorcist who restored himself after almost having nothing but a shattered innocence left. What's not better than a normal education like today's society even though the present time is a bit better."
My jaw hit the floor, "So there is absolutely no other purpose for me to join that school except to get an education?"
He paced around the room while papers fluttered around his as he did and said, "Well actually there is of course. We need you to find out more information about Ayumi Kobatsu. A typical Japanese girl but apparently she has some kind of connection with Road but we find it hard to believe because Road has a deep hatred for humans."
I tried to comprehend what he was saying to me, "So if there's such a high doubt about it, then why send me in?"
As I spoke that sentence, Komoui-san winced, "We actually sent someone in to try and check up on Ayumi. We sent them in to watch and follow her for a few days. By the time he was scheduled to come back, he never did. We thought, maybe he got lost or forgot about it. But we got a box mysteriously that had the corpse in it and a note that said, 'Don't try this again.' So we've decided to put further investigation upon it."
I stood back in horror, "How could they .. ? That's horrible. I understand, I'll accept these orders."
He smiled and said, "Good. Now you must go get changed, I've asked a few people to arrange some clothing for you to wear to school, there is no uniform code for this school so I hope the apparel is to your liking."
A look of confusion washed over my face and Lenalee grinned from ear to ear. She pulled me again by the wrist down to my room. She had a huge pile of clothes and she pulled unusual clothes out and thrusted them into my arms.
I asked, "What kind of clothes are these and where did you get them?"
She squealed, "I got them off a magazine catalogue. Apparently it's all the latest fashions!"
She urgently pushed me into the bedroom and said, "Hurry up and change. After you're done, we have lots to do for you in the bathroom."
As I finally managed to get the clothes on somehow, I looked out my door and it Lenalee was gone. I looked around trying to find out where she went but then I saw a little sticky note on my door. I grabbed it and it read, "Come to the dining hall's boys bathroom quickly! 3"
I sighed in exhaustion as I progressed to the huge dining hall's bathroom. Then I thought, "What's she doing in the boy's bathroom?"
I ran in frantically, hoping that no one sees her in there and as I see her with a box in her hand, she grins. My face goes blank and she pulls me over to her and she says, "Hair dye! I'm going to turn your hair into a brown color!"
My look of confusion just couldn't be described as I wondered why I even had to do this. So then in the next 35 minutes, she had successfully turned my gray hair into a dark brown. She looked at me as though I was a masterpiece painted by a famous artist. Then she pulled out a cell phone from her back pocket and she handed it to me.
"What's this?" I asked cautiously, not wanting anymore surprises today.
She replied joyfully, "It's a cell phone. Just in case if we need to contact you or if you need to contact us. I already put in Kanda's, Lavi's, mine, and my brothers number in there so all you need to look is on the contact list. Oh and some of the lab workers re-wrote the data code on the phone so it's finger print locked. If you wanted to unlock it, you would have to keep your finger on the bottom part of the screen where it tells you to put your print. Then it'll open automatically after it scans it. We can send information and photos through it as well. It's imported from America just to take pre-cautions, it's the Galaxy SIII. The language is set to English of course and if you want, you can change it to any other if you would like."
I smiled and put the phone In my back pocket, "Thanks Lenalee. You've been a great help for me, I know I can always count on you."
I could see her cheeks getting a bit flushed and she stuttered, "T-Thanks Allen-kun. B-By the way, I think you look pretty cool."
After she said that, I looked away, feeling a bit embarrassed. I looked into the mirror and saw my reflection looking back at me. I had black skinny jeans on with the Air Walk shoes. A white T-Shirt with a black jacket that covered it, my hair was brown and flipped in a certain way. My cursed eye was still there and I looked back at Lenalee.
She said, "Don't worry, it's okay. If people ask about your eye, then just tell them it's a scar."
I nodded and she said, "Okay, let's go back and talk with my brother about going to school."
As we were sitting on books in the messy room of Komoui-san he said, "Wow Allen, it's like a complete transformation with you. Oh good job Lenalee-chan! You're amazing as ever."
Lenalee, with her hands on her hips, "Stop brother! Now what does Allen have to do for you?"
Komoui-san pouted, "Lenalee~ Okay well Allen, you're going to school now and I guess Lenalee can drop you off if she wants too. But Lenalee, you must go get changed. You can't go out with your Exorcist apparel. He'll meet you by the front gate."
Her face lit up and she rushed out of the room. He looked at me intently and said, "You have to try and get close to Ayumi and find out. Possibly try and get invited by her and she'll let you into her house. You have to find out about this mysterious connection with her and Road. Are my orders clear? This is just not my decision. It's been through as a council meeting has taken place for it and the generals have agreed on this decision as well."
I nodded and said, "I'll do my absolute best."
Komoui-san smiled, "Okay, now go out by the front gate and Lenalee should be there waiting for you."
I left the room and walked toward the front gate, there was Lenalee and she was leaning against a black motorcycle. She pulled up her helmet as her beautiful green hair flowed past her shoulders. She was absolutely gorgeous.
She looked at me and said, "What are you looking at? C'mon, hop on."
She handed me a helmet and I put it on, I sat behind her and she said, "If you don't hold on, you'll fall off. So hold on tight."
I slowly put my hands around her thin waist and my heart started to flutter. I'm glad she couldn't see my face through the helmet because I was blushing like hell it feels like. She turned on the engine and we started to go. As she was driving, I felt the wind rushing through. It felt really fun, I smiled to myself. We actually got to the school in no time.
It was a tall and wide building that said Santotsu high school by the entrance. You could see students walking into the building as it was only about 6 AM or so. People stopped and stared in amazement as we both took off our helmets. Lenalee pulled on some sunglasses and she said, "Okay, let's go inside and check you in. You're a transfer since it's been a few months when school started."
I felt nervous but I wondered why, she walked toward the front of the school with my trailing behind. I felt as though everyone was constantly looking at me.
As Lenalee gave paperwork to the office and I was looking around the school. It was a big building and it was pretty nice inside.
Lenalee turned around and handed me a slip of paper, "Okay, their school ends at about 3:30. I'll pick you up at the front gate or just text me, whichever you prefer."
I smiled, "Okay, I will. Thanks Lenalee-kun. I'll see you later."
I watched her leave and I swear to god, the guys that were passing by were staring at her hardcore which made a little vein pop in my forehead.
I opened to piece of paper which read, "Allen Walker, Class B- Room 204" Utterly confused to the fact that I didn't know where to go.
Then I spotted this girl standing with her friends that kept occasionally kept looking at me and I walked over to them.
"Hey, Excuse me. I was wondering, I'm new here and I don't seem to know where Class B- Room 204 is. Could you tell me where it is?" I asked politely.
One of the girls with blonde highlights said, "Yeah, you go up those stairs then go left and the room should be on the right."
I smiled, "Thanks so much."
The staircase spiraled around and I got up to the second floor and took a left. The classrooms looked pretty cool and I saw a lot of people who kept looking at me. At first I felt like I had something on my face or they were laughing at me. Then I finally found my classroom on the right.
I stood before it and looked up. Then engraved on the top of the door was Class B- Room 204. I sighed and thought, "Wow, just got to open the door and face it through."
Finally after getting my act together, I opened the door.
The beginning of hell has begun.
