The Misfit's
Chapter 1 The lost and found.
The child had copper colored hair, bluish gray eyes and a cooking mitten on his left hand. A child around the age of 6 or 7 sitting in front of a grave there they where crying. Of course they where, their at a grave so wouldn't they? The child cried and cried till a voice called out to them.
"Why are you crying little boy? Do you miss this person?" The Earl asked the child, said child looked at the Earl sadly "Mana" He croaked.
"Shall I bring him back?" The child eyes widened in shock, "You- you could do that? What do you want?"
"I just want to help you my dear boy~ Now shall I bring your dear Mana back from your detestable god? All you have to do is call his name with your loudest voice, scream out his name! Only then shall he come back, I can't do it with your help."
The boy's mind was a mess, I thought brining back someone no matter how hard you wished for it was impossible, but now this person is offering me the chance to see Mana again. The boy stood and called his fathers name, screaming in out so that everyone could hear. The name 'Mana' now carved its self onto the skeleton's forehead
"A-ll-en, All-en, how dare you?! How dare you make me into an akuma?!"
Allen was taken back "What? I just…"
"I'll kill you!" The skeleton 'Mana' sliced Allen's left side of his face. Snickering could be heard in the background, "Thank you little boy~ Akuma I command you to kill the boy and wear his skin!"
Allen's mind went blank; did I turn Mana into a monster? Is that why he wants to kill me? Salty tears ran down his face, should I let him? Suddenly his left arm reacted, turning into a giant silver claw he knocked Mana away. He had no control over it; it just moved towards Mana was thrown Allen screamed when he saw this, "Mana! MANA! Run away! Father! Run!"
"A-llen I love you, please kill me." Mana pleaded, his left arm moved to grant the man's last wish. It savagely moved downwards and crushed Mana turning him to dust. The boy got up after a few minutes of silence; griping his arm that has now gone back to normal he screamed a scream of pain, anger, confusion but mostly sadness.
Wondering the streets of London Allen looked like a beaten puppy, tired, covered in blood, and broken. He wandered aimlessly before stopping in an ally way behind a food stall. His once copper hair turned white and now a scar was slashed along his face dripping with blood, his clothes ripped in some places and covered in dirt. Hugging his legs he sobbed himself to sleep.
The first thing Allen noticed was the fact that he was surrounded by warmth, secondly the voices of some people in the background could be heard meaning Allen's not the only one there.
"When do you think he'll wake up?" One asked, he sounded to be around the age of 15 but Allen couldn't really tell the other voice sounded young. "I don't know… what do you think happened to him? He's covered in blood and did you see his hair? It's pure white for Pete's Sake!"
Allen heard one of them walking towards him, "He look's like he's been through hell, he doesn't look like he has a family ether…" at this Allen cringed, memories of what happened earlier that day came flooding back to him.
"Oi kid! Wake up!" one said shaking Allen awake, relief washed over the boy as he watched Allen sit up, his gray eyes met the older boy's blue eye's. "You ok? What happened to you?"
Allen didn't answer, using his bangs to hide his eyes, just the name 'Mana' came out of his mouth and that alone. Tears threatened to spill out of Allen's eyes once more but he forced himself not to cry, especially in front of people he didn't know.
"Are you ok little guy? You're shaking… and who's 'Mana'? Don't you have a place to go? Why where you-" He was interrupted when another person held up his hand, "Give to kid some space. What's your name?"
"A-Allen" He croaked.
"Ok then, Allen do you have a home?" Allen shook his head.
"Do you want to live with us? I promise we don't bite, we where all abandoned or left alone on the streets after a death. You don't have to if you don't want to of course, but if you like we'll spread our arms wide open for you. We don't leave our own, that's the code here. I'm Riku also known as 'Sparrow'," He said pointing to himself "That's Kai, or 'Nezumi' as I call him." He said pointing to the person leaning against the door. Just then another two people cam running into the room, one a little boy around the same age as Allen the other an older male about the age of thirty.
"Ah you woke up? That's good, I wouldn't want to think you died."
Maybe it would have been better if I did die back there…
"Don't ever think that! You have every right to live as the rest of us! NEVER take your life for granted got that?!" The little boy shouted. Allen was a little taken back,
"H-how-?"
"This little one can read people's minds, his name is Ritsu or 'Dream Jumper', he doesn't do it on purpose it just happens he can't control it I'm the leader of the gang 'Black Angel' Takano better known as 'Shinigami'. Now what's this about 'never talking your life for granted' Hmm?"
Allen didn't answer so Ritsu answered for him, "H-he thought that it would he better if he died back there. I don't get it! Why think like that?" The boy cried, Allen was shocked to see that, why cry for someone you don't even know? Allen was utterly speechless.
"I see, well Allen I hope you never have to think that way while you're here with us, that's if your willing to stay." Allen looked at the people standing in front of him, I don't think there lying to me but who knows it might be fun… Just as Allen pictured a 'family' Mana came to mind, making Allen even more depressed. No, no I can't, once they see my arm they wouldn't like me any more and besides I'm bad luck a 'demon' I don't deserve a family, I just can't.
As if knowing what Allen was thinking Takano walked over to the white haired boy, "We accept all types of people, let you be blind, deaf, or even disfigured we don't care. We accept all types. You see Riku over here? He lived at a freak show before cause he can sprout wings at will. Kai was drowned as a child and everyone thought he was dead; he came back to his home to find that his family was the one's who did it. If it weren't for his ability to breathe under water he wouldn't be alive right now. Even Ritsu and I have a gruesome story, Ritsu's worse than the rest so you see we don't care."
Takano reached out his hand to Allen before saying; "If you'll have us we'll be glad to welcome you into our family."
Allen's eyes welled with tears of sheer happiness! He had never been this warmly welcomed into a family besides Mana, a real family willing to take me in…
"Really?" Allen croaked, Takano simply walked over to Allen before replying "Really."
And with that Allen was welcomed into a family full of misfit's but none the less a family.
Akuma: Wow I wrote a lot.
Allen: You should really change your name.
Akuma: Why?
Allen: Cause you might be mistaken for an actual akuma you know.
Akuma: We'll cross that path when we get there, that's future akuma's problem not mine.
Allen: That make's no since what so ever...
Akuma: I don't care. Hey reader's did you know that reviewing makes akuma's world go round? So you should read and review so I can be happy and write the next chapter so you can read that one.
Allen: Your bribing them?
Akuma: So what? I don't own Man, if I don I would be writing the actual story right now and not a fanfic.
