Let's celebrate with this for all of you lovelies!~ I made this into a collab with Dark Angel Kaos~ So yeah...sorry if this is crappy and let's get on with the story~ Also, tell me if the characters are OOC~ Love y'all~
Allen and Kanda had gotten word of an Innocence piece within the forest's boundaries but they have been told it would be dangerous to venture there because the forest itself is mysterious. No one who have entered ever returned alive.
Tyki watched the two exorcist with interest as they made it past the barrier Road had set up. They really wanted to find that Innocence, but too bad for them, it had already been destroyed. He smiled to himself thinking of the fun he would have after he subdued them, especially with that raven haired samurai. He licked his lips in anticipation. "Let's start the fun shall we?"
Kanda was not pleased at all as it felt like they have been walking on for hours. It was stupid for them to go but since the white-haired beansprout had insisted, he went along. "Stop. Something's fucking wrong here."
"What now, Kanda?" Allen had felt the raven haired man's displeasure for the whole journey. He was sure Kanda had just spotted something that seemed out of place and it had pissed him off. Maybe a rock or something that didn't look right. "We're still nowhere near to where the Innocence is. We gotta keep moving."
"This is why I hate beansprouts like you! I said there's something fucking wrong here so we should stop dammit!" he gripped Allen's shirt in annoyance.
"Okay, okay!" He raised his hands in his defense. An angry Kanda was a dangerous one. "Okay, we'll stop." The air felt cold just now and Kanda didn't like it one bit. He activated Mugen suddenly in defense,"Come out there whoever the fuck you are!"
He watched as Kanda drew Mugen, then suddenly he felt the pressure Kanda was talking about. It was a familiar presence, one he knew well. "Tyki...I know you're here. Show yourself." He activated Crown Clown and stood in a defensive pose.
The Portuguese Noah smirked, giving a light chuckle. "Welcome exorcists, to your demise." He raised his hands and suddenly the forest seemed to come alive. Thousands of black butterflies began swarming around them, blocking what ever light the moon brought. "I'll make sure it'll be quick and painless..."
The raven immediately tried to hack off the butterflies but failed to as they fluttered without aim to be touched by the blade. 'This is bad...' he thought, still fighting off the insects. "Dammit...!"
Just then, two persons clad in black cloak seemed to come to aid.
"Ne, Enzan...should we be really doing this?" The white-haired stranger asked the other.
"Of course! They're the ones from the prophecy, Nadare!" The ebony haired person replied in enthusiasm. He turned into a huge metal boomerang blade in process.
Nadare seemed to caught on, as they said in unison, "Our name is Worldless; will so strong, even different worlds can't keep hold."
"Damn these annoyances." He kept slashing at the butterflies but it did nothing. He felt himself getting weaker and weaker with each passing moment. 'What's going on?' He paused to glare at Tyki only to widen his eyes in disbelief.
The butterflies were eating away their flesh.
Tyki chuckled as he watched the two exorcists dance to his tune. Just as they were distracted he made his move towards the raven. He extended his hand, which was covered protectively in a black armor-like substance, then pierced forward. He wanted to wound the raven as he would love to play with him later.
Allen immediately ran toward Kanda, bearing with the pain the butterflies brought. "Look out!"
'Nadare' hurled the blade at Tyki, making a gash on the Portuguese' armored hand. "Disperse..." he said, the words affecting the butterflies. They dispersed away from the exorcists, getting enough time to get the raven away from Tyki.
"Idiot, open the gate now!" the 'blade' said as it returned to its' owner.
"Gate of Worldless, open thyself to the prophesy's fruit." His words resounded as a tear opened in the midst, the force pulling in both Allen and Kanda. The strangers jumped in right after while the tear closed.
Although the damage was done, they were now travelling in another realm.
"Kanda!" He ran to Kanda's side, hoping to take the hit for him, but due to Nadare's quick thinking that no longer became necessary. He skid to a stop in front of Kanda, careful not to bounce into him in his haste. He heard the hybrids say something behind him, but couldn't pay much attention to it as he was caught off guard when a dark hole opened, pulling him and Kanda inside. His instincts immediately told him to hold on to his raven haired partner and that was what he did. He wrapped his hands around him protectively as they ventured to the unknown.
Tyki jumped back when the blade came in contact with his hand, managing to avoid a fatal wound. He watched, slightly amused as his butterflies dispersed on another's command, even more so when a portal of some sort seemed to open, taking both his prey with it. "Well, this is unexpected." The portal closed before he could even think about chasing them. "This is very unexpected. I wonder if Road had anything to do with this." Without a prey he chose to leave the forest to return to the mansion. He had to question Road about this surprising turn of events.
+Inside the portal+
The journey was rough and it felt like he was being ripped apart just by the mere pressure of the abyss. But he didn't relent his hold on Kanda. He kept his grip on the raven firm. 'I'll protect you, Kanda.'
Allen held Kanda's frame closer to his chest, as if to protect him while they fell into the darkness.
The portal landed them near the road, where Kio was driving with the Zero pair accompanying him. The lights flashed at the Worldless who were in the middle of the road, making the green haired teen stop the car abruptly.
"Kio, is something wrong?" The teal haired teen asked as if not to notice the black clad strangers.
"Something wrong?! There were people on the road! Just look-huh?" As he pointed, the people seemed to be gone. He went out of the car to look for them but instead he found bodies beside the road.
"They're alive..!" The green haired teen exclaimed as he found a faint pulse on both badly injured yet oddly dressed persons.
"Kio, what are you thinking? Whatever it is, I bet Soubi's not gonna like it."
"...I'm taking them to the hospital,Youji."
"You're serious!" The redhead, known as Natsuo, fake gasped. Kio rolled his eyes.
"Shut up, Natsuo...you two chibis better not tell Sou-chan about this..."
Allen groaned as he tried to make sense of where they were. His head ached from the crash. He tried to open his eyes but he could only make out three silhouettes. They were talking but he couldn't hear what they were saying clearly. He tightened his hold on Kanda just as darkness took over him once more.
+At the hospital+
Kanda was first to wake up. He was feeling weak yet wary of his surroundings. Because for one, he knew that they lost touch with Komui because their Finder went missing, so the Black Order couldn't have gotten them back. When he got up quickly, pain shot up in his system.
"Shit, where am I...?" he asked nowhere. He was surprised when he was answered, by a teen with cat appendages even.
"You're at the hospital, smart guy. Can't you recognize one when you see one?"
He went back to lie down, "The fuck I am seeing things."
"That's rude of you. I exist here, helloooo?"
"Hey don't be like that now, Youji. He's a patient." Kio scolded him. "I'm sorry for his attitude...?"
"Kanda."
"Kanda-san."
After a while, he noticed his weapon's absence.
"Who the fuck has Mugen?"
Kio was puzzled about this.
"What do you mean?"
"My katana is missing."
"Oh, you mean this?" Youji said, waving Mugen around like some stick.
"Oi, watch it gaki!"
Kio's cellphone rang all of the sudden.
"Hold on, I've got a call." The green haired teen said as he left the room.
"Oi, gaki." Kanda said, irritated. He slightly shifted on the bed, feeling comfortable.
"I'm not a gaki," The teal haired boy puffed his cheeks in annoyance," And what do you want?!"
"You're Youji, right? Mind explaining what the fucking hell is this written on my arm?"
Youji hissed at the raven but as he came closer, his eyes widened.
"S-C-A-R-L-E-S-S...?"
"I know how to read that, baka...what I want to know is, why does that baka moyashi and I have the same name on our arms?"
'...a fighter unit? Kio saved a fighter unit? This...Soubi must know. They might be after Ritsuka, too..' he thought as he stared at Kanda's arm. Then he turned to look at the sleeping British on the other bed, remembering how deep the wound he had when they found him and the raven. Allen had his arms around Kanda, as if he doesn't want to let go. '...or maybe not. I wonder what really happened, to make them injured like this...'
Allen was having a peaceful dream. Kanda was in his arms, and he was actually kissing him. If it was a dream, boy, he didn't want to wake up. But just as sudden as the kiss was, it was gone. He groped around only to find nothing but air, darkness. 'What's going on?' He was worried about Kanda, wasn't he just there in his arms? Where did the raven haired samurai go? "Kanda?! Kanda where are you?!" His dream had suddenly turned into a nightmare. He woke with a start breathing heavily. The pieces of his dream lingered in his consciousness and he quickly looked around for Kanda. He gave a sigh of relief when he saw him in the bed beside him, but that was short lived when he saw the persons in the room. "Who are you people?"
"Baka moyashi, I'm just right here..." a vein throbbed on his forehead as it were the usual. He was half happy, half annoyed, that it all came out naturally.
The redhead laughed too much at Allen's previous 'groping' in the air. Just then Kio came back, sighing. He has enough troubles to get into but this takes the cake. Nevertheless, it didn't stopped him from helping.
"I'm sorry if this is all too surprising to you but we'll introduce ourselves alright. I'm Kaidou Kio. The redhead is Natsuo and the other here is Youji."
"Kio's being a good Samaritan~" Natsuo said as if it were some secret.
All those were Japanese names...and if he's right, they're in- that can't be. Edo was long Akuma infested, how would these people even exist?! It was a question that pestered him.
"Kanda, you're okay." He let himself relax are seeing that the raven was alright. When he got the names of the strangers, he returned the favor. "Nice to meet you, Kio-san, Natsuo-kun, Youji-kun, my name is Allen Walker. Um, could you tell us where we are?" He noticed their names were similar to Kanda's but that's not possible as Japan was already destroyed by the Earl so there shouldn't have been any survivors.
"You're in Tokyo, Japan. I assumed you were thrown by some bad people here. Why'd you get those injuries?" Kio asked.
"He's a foreigner! They might be working for some underground agency and they broke the law~" Natsuo said, tapping his eyepatch that reminded him of Lavi.
"Natsuo! That's just rude!"
"Japan?!" His eyes widened in shock and suddenly he was on high alert. "It's in the Earl's hands...are you three working for the Millennium Earl?" He waiting for their reply. It seemed they may have to fight their way out if it came to it.
"W-What are you saying?" Kio was taken aback.
Kanda observed more and more until he need to prove his theory. From the modern clothes they wore, it must be...
"What year is it now, gaki?"
"It's Youji to you! And it's year 2009. Why, ya too old to remember?"
His theory was right. But he cannot tell the strangers about it; they seemed to not know anything about their real place.
"Baka moyashi, we need to talk."
Natsuo and Youji understood, walking out flamboyantly.
When Allen heard the year there were in he was taken aback. '2009? Don't tell me...' When Kanda asked to talk he couldn't say no, they needed to figure out where the hell Enzan and Nadare sent them to. 'Where are those two?' He stretched his arms out to get rid of the kinks in his body. "Ok BaKanda, lets talk." He kicked off the sheets, realizing that he was dressed in a plain white tshirt and his exorcist pants. He also noticed some kinda word written on his left hand but he didn't pay too much attention to it. 'Wait, a word?' He quickly looked at it, noticing the word SCARLESS. "Huh, Scarless...? What does this mean?" He looked at Kanda in confusion, noticing that he had the same word written on his arm.
"Do you remember what the strangers said while they fought Tyki? They said they are Worldless. If I am right, it means everyone in this time has a corresponding name each pair. As much as I hate to say it we are the Scarless pair. I don't know what is the name for but we need to find it out as well as get out of this damn time."
"How the hell do you know all this again?"
"I observe, unlike some moyashi."
Change topic, change topic...
"Kanda, you look cute with those cat ears, you know."
A pregnant pause.
"SINCE WHEN DID I HAVE THEM?"
