In the middle of the night, Allen was having trouble sleeping soundly. Tossing and turning he screamed, "Mana…Mana…MANA!" continuously throughout the night.

(Dream-Lil Allen POV)

"ALLEN."

"Mana, wait! Don't go! Mana!" Lil-boy-Al said/screamed. "I don't want you to leave me! Don't leave me all alone again! Please Mana!" he begged, stumbling towards the disappearing ghost he called Father. "Mana!"

"Live Allen. Live and keep moving forward. Live Allen… live."

"MANA!" and with that he was gone. "Mana!" Allen sobbed.

(End of Dream)

Allen sat up and looked at his grandfather clock he had in the room."1'o clock, huh. Oh…sorry Tim." he said waking up his golem sleeping by his head, "Go back to sleep Tim. I'm just gonna take a walk before I try to sleep again." Timcanpay looked at Allen like he was going to be lost for hours but thought nothing of it and went back to sleep.

Sigh! Nice, I'm lost, Again! Really now, you'd think I could go walking for 10 minutes and not get lost, but noo! I have to go straight to Kanda's door. And who in their right mind would train at this hour of the night!"

(Recap)

Allen decides to go to the cafeteria for a late night snack but ends up going in the totally opposite direction and lands right at Kanda's door watching him train.

(10 years prior)

"Shh, shh…go to sleep. Someone will wake you up later." said a voice.

"Who?" a girl asked.

"Someone strong. A person who possesses the Innocence, Crown Clown." she touched the girl's forehead. She suddenly looked behind her as if someone was calling, "I must go now." she said hurriedly.

"But why?" she insisted.

"If the others find me here, with you, we'll both be in trouble."

"Okay fine! But promise me this!" she stated pouting.

"Promise what?" she questioned.

"That you'll come back for me, Hibiki." she said proudly.

"Of course I will! I wouldn't have it any other way, Soen."

"Yay! G'night!"

"Yes, good night Soen." and that was all that was all that was said. Soen's body was encircled in a cloth-like cocoon that was stronger than steel and Hibiki disappeared from the room after putting up many seals on the door, separating her beloved sister from the rest of the world.

(Back to Allen POV)

Allen was watching Kanda train, but when he looked away, Kanda wasn't there anymore.

"What are you doing, Baka-Moyashi." demanded a voice from behind.

"Kanda… well I was just leaving to go to the bathhouse…" Allen said keeping his composure after the fright Kanda gave him! He turned to leave but Kanda grabbed his wrist, knowing Allen just lied to his face.

"Tell me." he stated menacingly.

"Okay, okay! I got lost! Happy now!" he panicked.

"Then why do you always get lost around me?"

Stuttering and embarrassed, Allen replied, "W-well I-I don't know! Maybe's 'cause you're…"

He didn't even finish his sentence before Kanda said, "Just get the hell away from me Baka-Moyashi!" letting go of his arm.

Saddened by his retort, our lil boy Al cries, "I hate you, BaKanda!" and runs of in some random direction.

"And I'm lost again…" Allen sighed to no one.

-HAHAHAHAHAHA! Allen-chan's a stalker! Its so beautiful!
