Mana and I walked through the village of Portugal one warm, spring day. When suddenly we bumped in to a little girl with spikey purple hair, purplish blue eyes, with bandages on her forehead, and rags for clothes.

"Oh, sorry sir," she softly said, fear in her eyes.

"It's okay little one. Where are your parents at?" Mana asked the girl.

"I-I don't have any parents. I live in the orphanage over on Elm street," she replied. "What's your name mister?"

"You can call me Mana. Would you like to live with us?"

"Really?" asks the little girl, sparkles in her eyes.

"Yes."

"What's his name?"

I hid behind Mana, and said, "A-Allen."

"Hi Allen! Nice to meet yah!"

"Nice-nice to meet you-you too."

"Well, should we go adopt you now, little one?" asked Mana grinning widely.

"Sure! My name's Road, by the way!" cried Road, enthusiastically.

"Come on, Allen! Let's go okay?" asked Mana gesturing toward me.

A couple of weeks later after we adopted Road into our little family, her and I grew closer. She even saw my arm and didn't react to it! All she did was hug it and give it a kiss, in which made me blush. She showed me her forehead and how it head seven crosses on it, and how they went away and came back at will. Like she did with me, I kissed her forehead.

"Road-chan!" I call to the purple-haired girl.

"Yes, Allen-chan?" she asks.

"Let's play! Please?" I pout.

"Of course! What do you want to play?" she laughs out.

"Hide and seek, please!" I cried, jumping up and down.

"Okay! You go hide and I'll count!"

"No, I wanna count this time because you always cheat when you count!"

"Fine~. You can count," she replied, running to go hide when I start counting.

"One, Two, Three…" I peak between my fingers and see her running out the door of our room in the hotel. "Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, and Ten!" I scream, and run out of the hotel room toward the direction she went in. "Here I come, Road!"

First I asked the customers of the café if they had seen Road, they had said she went outside, so I looked out there and I saw her standing by the street.

"Found you Road! You're… Turn…" I say as I look out at Road's shocked face then to the scene in front of us. There was Mana, arms twisted into a funky way and his head bleeding.

We both look at each other and yell Mana's name.

"Mana!" I say when I get to the body trying to hug him, but one of the men that was standing by grabbed me before I could touch him. "Let me down!"

"Yeah let him down!" yells Road, trying to get the man to let go of me.

Another man grabbed Road and held her away from me and Mana.

"What happened?" I asked. "Is Mana… Dead?"

"Unfortunately, the man is dead," one of the medics said.

"What?! He can't be dead!" Road and I cried out loud. We both started sobbing.

"There, there children. It's going to be okay, we'll find a good home for you two," said an officer.

"No! We want Mana!" I shout squirming even more, and the man dropped me and I started running toward Mana and I hugged him. "Oh, Mana!"

Road got out of the other man's grip and sat next to me, crying and hugging me.

"How could this happen?" asked Road.

"I don't know, Road," I replied to the girl, looking at her with blood all over my clothes.

She wipes the tears off of my face, and I hug her tightly, crying and a mess.

"Sh, Allen," her voice breaks from crying. "It's going to be okay. Like Mana always said, keep moving forward."

"You're right Road. We need to keep moving forward."

After the funeral, Road and I were the only ones left at Mana's grave. Road didn't have her bandages on today, and she didn't have her crosses on her forehead. I just turned 12 years old, it was Christmas and snowing. We were shivering with cold, and crying.

"Allen, I love you," she said and kissed my lips.

I blushed and said, "I love you too, Road."

All of a sudden a fat man appeared in front of us, and asked, "Would you like if I bring back your father for you?"

"Can you really do that?" I ask.

"Allen, don't do it. Mana wouldn't want it," Road said seriously. She knew what was going to happen. She was a Noah after all, but I didn't know that at first.

"Why not little one? I'm just trying to help, poor Allen and you to see his father again," said the man.

"I feel like something bad is going to happen," Road said dreadfully.

"No, I promise nothing bad is going to happen," the man promised. "My name is the Earl, pleased to meet you Allen and Road."

"You promise?" we ask.

"Promise. Now all you have to do is say your father's name as loud of you can, and he will come back from that dreadful place called heaven."

"MANA!" we both call, and his name was written on the strange metal skeleton that was produced before us.

"Ugh, Allen, Road," said Mana.

"Mana."

"How could you do this to me! You've turned me into an Akuma!" he yells at us, angrily.

"What…?"

"I curse you! I curse you both!" He slashes our faces, Road on the right side and me on the left side. We both let out a wretched scream.

"Mana, how could you do this to us?" I ask.

"I curse you!" he yells again.

"Mana," Road said softly and started to cry.

He raises his arm again, but my left hand starts to glow green and a giant claw appears instead of my arm. It starts to control itself and grasps Mana in my hand. My hand squeezes Mana, and Mana turns into ash.

"Father," I say for the first time. I've never called him Father before. I killed him. I hear Road crying and I drag myself over towards her.

"Allen," I hear her say. "Oh, Allen. What did we do?"

"I have no idea, Road."

I checked out Road's face to see if her wound have stopped bleeding, and it had. There would most definitely be a scar on her face from now on. The mark started off as a pentacle on the top of her forehead, and came down over her eye. I bet the same thing was on my face.

"Oi, you two idiots, I know what you did," says a mysterious man with long red hair and a wide hat. He explains to us what we did was create an Akuma, the enemy of Exorcists, and the Order. He explained to us who the Earl was and the Noah.

Road and I kept our mouths shut the entire time and listened to the man. I knew now what Road was, and Road did also. We didn't tell Cross at first. We both silently agreed that it would be a chaos if we told him.

"Your arm contains Innocence. Would you like to become an Exorcist?" the man asked me.

"Well, can Road come with me?" I asked the man shyly.

"I guess the brat can come with us, but you have to fallow my orders, you understand?"

"Yes, sir!" we both shout.

"And you both will call me Master Cross, you hear me?"

"Yes, Master Cross."
