Autty: WOOT! Haha and thus it begins. Should we be at least SOMEWHAT concerned for our toys?

Star: Considering it's only the first chapter and I already have Allen like THIS? You tell me ^_^

Autty: hmm... So not at all! *begins humming Sexy Silk* So~ our second RP but our first story. It even beat out Send Me an Angel. XD not surprising seeing as we're waiting on you for that one. ^_^

Star: Sounds about right to me ^_^... HEY! That's not my fault! It's evil... and stubborn...

Autty: ...like you, Moyashi? ^_^

Star: Shut up BaKanda, that thing's worse than me... Never thought I'd see the day that happened =_="

Autty: oh? I thought- never mind. So shall we get on with the show~?

Star: I'm ready when you are, BaKanda~

Autty: Tch. Ready? Always!

Star: *Mutters* Yeah, we'll just see how long that lasts...

Autty: indeed. Especially with how things turn out for "you".

Star: Yeah... I'm still wondering if this makes me a masochist on some level =_="

Autty: ... Uhm. Not sure if I want to find out... ^_^"

Star: Neither do I =_="... So, disclaimer~? ^_^

Autty: *nod hurriedly* y-yeah. Let's do it...

Disclaimer: Autty: I don't own. Do you?

Star: *Raises one eyebrow incredulously* If I did would Allen still be, oh, I don't know, ALIVE at this point?

Autty: nope. He'd be raped, beaten, loved by Kanda, then he'd eventually commit suicide. Sound close enough? ^_^

Star:... Oh, just shut up and get on with it... *Goes to sulk in the corner with a new plot bunny on her back*

Autty: now I have to go deal with my Moyashi. Enjoy reading!

Allen panted lightly as he stumbled a few steps out of the portal before allowing it to close and vanish behind him and continuing to stagger forward, silver eyes glazed with pain as every step sent a fresh wave of agony tearing through him, but he did his best to ignore it, to just keep going despite the way it all hurt, burned, and screamed for some form of relief from the blistering pain.

It wasn't like it mattered, he'd be dead soon anyway.

He could still feel himself bleeding from the new wounds, the countless cuts and burns, and he could still feel the sickening mixture of blood and something else he refused to think about rapidly drying to his legs and the inside of his thighs beneath the dark leather making the fabric stick unpleasantly to his skin and his stomach churn. He knew that he wouldn't have long left if he didn't take care of his wounds, but he didn't care, didn't want to risk the time that it would take when he was so certain that it would only result in them finding him, and if that happened he knew his death wouldn't be swift-assuming he was even allowed to die.

Was he?

He honestly didn't know anymore.

He looked up as he felt something cold touch his cheek to see fine white flakes the exact shade of his hair falling from a dark gray sky to join the countless others that littered the ground -snow, at least that's what he thought it was, what the humans called it but he couldn't say for sure, not with how few times he'd been allowed to come to this realm. He liked the feel of it though, the feel of the cold against the skin left bare by the leather vest that clad his torso. The cool touch on the cuts and burns, some old, some new, that lined his arms, as well as the crimson scar that ran down the left side of his face, felt so much like what he imagined heaven to be, the soft caress pushing the cruel reminders of 'home' to the back of his mind.

He stumbled forward a few more steps, but it wasn't long before the pain and exhaustion all became too much for his lithe form to bear and he finally fell to his knees, crying out at the fresh wave of blistering pain that shot through his lower half as he hit the snow. He gasped in agony, lowering himself onto his side and curling up on the cool surface of white, feeling a few pained tears slip through his clenched eyelids as he gritted his teeth against the pain, trying to keep the choked sobs of sheer agony at bay as they tried to rip from his already raw throat, soon feeling the tears dry, the tracks remaining as pale streaks of ice against pale alabaster, and the pain ebb as his body began to go numb, the cold both soothing yet painful in its own right.

But he didn't care.

This kind of pain, the kind that chased away sheer agony and replaced it with stinging cold and numbness was welcomed after all he'd been through, and he just stared at the snow falling from the sky out of the corner of one mercury eye, making no move to stand, even as he felt his energy slowly bleeding away and being drained, the light in the once brilliant pools of liquid silver dimming slowly till they matched the dull, storming sky above.

Star: Huh... I think this is a record for how fast I managed to screw him up...

Autty: hmm... I don't know. That's two fics now that he walks through the door more than half dead. XD

Star: maybe, but I'm pretty sure he wasn't this fucked up in the other one ^_^

Autty: Not in the head at least. ^_^ ...why are we smiling about this?

Star: *Smiles sweetly* Because we're evil sadists with a thing for tormenting out canon counterparts~?

Autty: ...sure! Let's go with that! XD

Star: Course it could just be that we're seriously fucked in the head ^_^"

Autty: *rolls eyes* So~? Did everyone enjoy~? Do tell us~!

Star: *Sticks tongue out at Autty* In our language that means 'review and maybe we'll update soon' ^_^

Autty: emphasis on the "maybe". XD

Star: *Twitch* That better not be another shot at my updates BaKanda...

Autty: *smile* of course not. Besides, I've been slow too because it's the end of my school year now. WHY MUST EVERY CLASS INSIST ON ESSAYS? *goes and begins to grow mushrooms in the corner*

Star: Yeah, that's what I thought... *sweatdrop* Anyway, again, review and we might update soon, but, in the meantime I need to go see about coaxing her out of that corner...
