"Which door do you think it is, Kanda?" Allen asked turning around to face Kanda, walking backwards down the white streets that were inside the 14th's ark.
"Why would I know that. Can't you just play the damn piano and bring us there automatically or something?" Kanda replied, scowling at Allen.
"There is already a gate open, we just have to find the door. Which, by the way, I can't remember where it is." Allen said opening a door, peering into the darkness within and closing it once again.
"How can you not remember, baka moyashi?" Kanda growled. Allen closed his eyes in thought, and raised an arm triumphantly when he remembered.
"It's this way, see I told you I'd remember." Allen said turning down a street. Kanda followed close behind, waiting for the moment he could tell Allen that he was a fucking retard. Allen stopped before a door identical to every other one and turned the knob. The door swung open and the light barely made it past the first foot of darkness.
"This is it!" Allen said matter-of-factly. Kanda peered into the darkness, not wanting to enter the room that could led anywhere in the world. This wouldn't be the first time a door lead nowhere.
"Well don't just stand there, get going!" Allen said giving Kanda a hard push. Kanda automatically grabbed Allen to keep himself from falling but ended up taking the white-haired exorcist along with him.
This door was another one that led to some unknown place, the two falling through the darkness for what seemed like an eternity, but in reality was only a few minutes. Kanda landed hard on the ground, leaving him gasping for breath because of the impact. Allen landed half on Kanda, who shoved him off a second later.
"Where the fuck are we?" Kanda asked, brushing the dirt from his pants.
"How should I know?!" Allen snapped back
"It's your fucking ark!" Kanda stated and Allen rolled his eyes.
"It's not mine, BaKanda. I can just control it, sheesh, you really are stupid."
Allen turned his back to Kanda and gasped in surprise. A large wall loomed over them, it's presence intimidating. The rusted ruins of a city surrounded the pair, the warped, rusted pieces of metal sticking out of the barren ground.
"What is this place?" Allen asked nobody in particular, looking around in awe at the twisted scenery.
"Excuse me?" Someone spoke from behind the pair. Kanda spun around quickly at the quiet Japanese, unsheathing Mugen and pointing it at the stranger.
He had white hair similar to Allen's and red eyes that stood out against the white color of his hair, a light-red mark ran it's way from his cheek and around his neck, disappearing beneath his clothing.
"Who are you and what do you want?" Kanda growled. The white-haired stranger stepped back, away from the point of Mugen before answering.
"I-I'm Shion…and you two looked like you needed some help." He said nervously. Allen whacked Kanda in the head and frowned.
"He isn't an akuma, BaKanda. So put it away." Allen demanded and Kanda reluctantly did so, leaving his hand on Mugen's hilt in case.
"Hello Shion. My name is Allen Walker and this is Kanda Yuu, pleasure to meet you. Could you…uh…tell us where we are?" Allen asked with a smile, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly.
"We're in the Western District, just outside of No.6. How could you not know?" Shion replied confused.
"I've never heard of a place called 'Number Six', what country is that in?" Allen asked after thinking about where they could be. Most likely Japan based on the language Shion was speaking and Allen fumbled through his memory for the translation of the foreign language he needed.
"No.6 isn't a country, it's a city, a huge one at that. But what do you mean by country? You mean like America and England we learned about in school?" Shion asked surprised
"Yes like fucking England." Kanda snapped, tapping his foot impatiently.
"What century do you guys think it is?" Shion questioned, looking at the pair more closely.
"End of the 19th, idiot." Kanda said before receiving a disapproving look from Allen.
"We can't talk about this out here, let's take this back to my place." Shion suggested and Allen gave a slow nod.
"Who the hell are you taking to my place?"
"Nezumi!" Shion exclaimed smiling at the figure who appeared. As he neared Allen noticed he looked strangely similar to Kanda, which paired with the white-haired boy before him made him question things. He stood about a head taller than Shion, and had his medium length hair pulled back. On his shoulder sat a brown mouse which ran down his outstretched arm and jumped onto Shion's. Shion laughed and said hello the small mouse.
"Shion, who are these people and didn't I tell you not to be out so late?" Nezumi lectured and Allen and Kanda exchanged confused glances.
"Nezumi, these two are Allen and Kanda. They don't know where they are, can't we let them stay the night?" Shion pleaded
"Don't go inviting random strangers into my house, it's bad enough that I have to take care of you." Nezumi stated and Shion frowned.
"Nezumi, his hair is white just like mine, he might know something." Shion said just loud enough for Nezumi to hear.
"You owe me big time, Shion." Nezumi stated before turning on his heal back to the pair of exorcists. Nezumi stalked off in the direction he'd come and Shion gave a weak smile.
"If you follow us we'll take you there." Shion stated before following his companion. Allen and Kanda shrugged and followed the pair before them.
