Chapter 1

A little boy was abandoned on the door-step of a well-known, local, Clown's small apartment. The man was alerted by his own installed doorbell as he quickly hopped off his sofa and ran over to the door, swinging it wide open. He looked around but saw no-one...

"Huh... Must have been a couple of Pranksters..." He said, aloud to himself. He turned his back to the dark world that was now behind him as he was just about to close the door when he suddenly heard a strange noise come from where he had just been looking... Slowly, he turned around once again, but this time, he looked down; and he saw it, or... In this case, him...

Mana knelt down and smiled at the small child that was snugly wrapped up in a thin blanket to him warm. "Now... Who would leave such a small child on a strangers' door-step...?" Mana asked, mainly to himself as he took one last glance around the dark to make sure there actually wasn't someone looking for this child as he picked up the small bundle, holding the child in his arms securely as he went back inside, shutting the door behind him.

"I guess we're just going to have to look for your parents tomorrow, huh..?" Mana spoke to the child quietly. "But, for tonight, you'll stay here, with me." He added with a small smile. Mana loved kids, too bad he didn't have any of his own... No-one wanted to be in a relationship with a Clown...

He turned to leave the living room, grabbing the remote on the way to turn off the television as he tossed it onto the couch before heading down the hall to the bedroom. Mana's bed was safely against the wall, so he wasn't too worried about the child rolling off by accident and hurting himself...

He set Allen down gently on the bed by the wall as he got ready. He came back minutes later to find the small child unwrapped himself from his own thin blanket and was wandering around on the bed. Mana walked over and chuckled softly. "Such a curious little boy..." Mana said, picking him up carefully.

The little boy giggled adorably, making Mana smile in delight. But then, Mana noticed something. It looked like a little piece of paper... "Must've fallen out of the blanket when he removed it..." Mana sat, gently setting the child back down by the wall as he sat on the edge of the bed. He picked up the piece of paper and began reading it aloud to himself.

"My name is Allen... I'm yours now.. My mommy and daddy no longer want me. If you want to re-name me, you may. Please take good care of me."

Mana blinked and frowned as he looked up at the little boy. "...So... You're name is Allen, huh..? Your parents no longer want you..? You poor thing... I'll take care of you then..." Mana smiled as the child didn't seem to know, or care for that matter, about what was going on.

"I'll keep your name... Allen... Allen Walker... That sounds good, right?" He smiled at the name before looking at the child as he giggled again. "You like it too?" Mana smiled again.

Mana set the piece of paper down on the nightstand beside his bed as he sighed. He turned off the light and laid down next to Allen. "...Mine now, huh...?" He said aloud, staring up at the ceiling. He rolled over onto his side, elbow on the bed as he rested the side of his head in the palm of his hand. "I'll raise you the right way, Allen..."

Mana then turned his attention to Allen's left arm. "Strange... I don't remember you getting hurt..." He said as he sat up slightly, gently grabbing Allen's left. It didn't seem to hurt or bother him. Mana smiled "No matter..." He said as he laid back down, pulling Allen to him gently. "Time to sleep, Allen..." Mana said softly as the child yawned.

Mana put Allen to sleep before he soon fell asleep as well. No need to look for his parents anymore...

So.. I know it's not much.. It actually just popped into my head tonight and thought i should get it down on paper or something. Turns out, i actually like it.. So i decided to turn it into an on-going story. I hope you like it.

It is rated M for later Chapters... I am going to pair Allen with Kanda because Yullen is just fucking adorable and cute... It is an AU and i don't know if i'm going to have them as "Exorcists" or not.. I guess it all depends on the flow of the story.

Rate and review please! I'd really like to know how this "chapter" turned out. If not too many people like it, then i'll probably delete it.
