Prologue: Leave

Faint footsteps were heard. The moonlight entered the meditating room through the window situated at the top as the door creaked softly, opened.

"Kanda..."

A shadow approached the sleeping one on the straw mat as he knelt down beside him, his hand slowly reaching out to his face.

"Kanda, you know, I really enjoy the days staying with you every night. I know that I have not made the wrong decision after all." He murmured as his warm breath touched the cool skin of him, making him stirred slightly. He slowly touched his hair and brushed them between his fingers in a slow motion, wanting to remember how it felt like combing his hair with his fingers. He smiled. His hair was soft and smooth, like the skin of a baby. He then wondered what shampoo did he used to wash his beautiful hair to maintain it.

"I do not regret...my feelings for you, Kanda. It hurts, but I do not regret it." The soft whistles of the wind filled the room as his fringe fluttered slightly in the air.

"You would always give me a frown look whenever I disrupt your meditation, and I just do not care, wanting to stay with you. At that time, you are really super angry, and tried to chase me out of the room, but I would always insist on staying here. Staying with you." His index finger gently slid down from his eye to his nose, and to his lips. He stopped.

"But...this would be the last one."

Tears dropped onto his face, as they shimmered brightly in the clear moonlight. The hand continued to caress that beautiful face gently, wiping away the tears, but more seemed to come as they fell onto his face, drop by drop. He gave up cleaning those tears as he began to weep silently, not wanting anyone to know that he was here, crying.

"This would be the last one, Kanda. I promise." The weeping gradually stopped. He brushed away his long silvery strands away from his face as he stood up, staring at him once more. His heart wrenched greatly every second as he peered at the silent one, who was not aware that he had come here.

For the first time, he was glad that he was asleep. He knew that he did not like people to disturb him whenever he was meditating. He knew that he would always be pissed off whenever he stopped by here and annoyed him. He knew that no matter how he chided and scolded him, he would never chase him away.

And he knew that he would not mind at all.

"Goodbye, Kanda. And from here, it ends."

"There are signals that the enemy is here!"

"That is...Allen Walker?!?"

"Why is he with them?!?"

"Emergency! Emergency! Enemy sighted outside the Black Order! All available Exorcists please move out immediately! I repeat..."

"Get out of the way!" Lenalee shouted as she, Lavi and Kanda were rushing along the corridor once they had heard the announcement through their golems. People around them were in a panic state, as everyone was too shocked by the news that they ran around like a stampede, wanting to escape. Lenalee activated her Innocence as she flew in the air and blasted through, while Lavi extended his Innocence hammer and Kanda grabbed hold of the hammer and went together with him. The whole Order was in chaos as Exorcists and those who were currently available were giving directions on where they should go, as well as to calm those who were in a frantic state.

"Nii-san!" Lenalee shouted as Komui looked up and noticed her sister.

"Lenalee!"

"Nii-san, tell me where he is!"

"He..." Komui's words trailed off, not knowing what to say.

"You know that! We want to see him! Where is he? Where is he, nii-san?!?" Lenalee shouted. Komui stumbled backwards slightly, taken aback.

"Calm down, Lenalee," Lavi comforted, as he put his hand gently on her shoulders.

"Oi, tell us, Komui!" Kanda said, getting impatient.

"But...!"

"Komui, if you don't tell us, Allen may not come back to us forever! Please, you have to tell us where he is!" Lavi exclaimed. Komui had a grimace look on his face before he let out a sigh and nodded his head.

"He's...at the cliff behind this building."

The evening grey sky was slightly darker than usual. Grey clouds hovered in the sky, gathering at the middle of the moon which had started to ascend up the sky. Thunder rumbled softly inside those dark clouds that was travelling along the seas of blue.

"Who are you?" Lenalee's eyes widened, not believing what she had heard.

"Allen, it's us! Have you forgotten us? Why are you with the enemy?" The wind swept past the trees and greenery in the moonlight, as leaves fluttered up in the air, swirling in graceful circles.

It was a full moon. Though the moon was partially covered by the dark clouds, they were very sure that the moon was full, seeing the shape of it. At the middle of the moon, there were black figures floating in the sky. It was so obvious that he was at the middle, having his white protective coat of Crown Clown that distinguished him from the rest of the group, but the only difference was that the eyes were dark golden in colour instead of the light grey orbs that twinkled.

"Why...Why did this happen? Why...Allen, I know you would not give up on yourself! You have said that to me before! Can't you remember? Can't you remember...the memories that the four of us have shared..." Lenalee choked as tears began to stream out of her eyes, rolling down her cheeks. She just shook her head and mumbled something under her breath, hiding her face from everyone's view.

"Allen, please....please remember us, Allen..." She could not comprehend why. Why Allen, one of their friends, chose to side the enemy and cut all ties with them? Why must it be Allen?!?

"Lenalee..." Lavi murmured, looking at her. He knew that she was in pain, seeing her friend submitted himself to his fate. He closed his eyes for a while before he stared at the night sky. He knew that feeling very well. It was even excruciating than any kind of physical injury that they had in battle or training.

"Allen, what are you doing? Can't you recognise us?! Allen!" Lavi turned to the tall figure beside him, who had his katana strapped at his waist.

"Yuu, say something! Don't just stand there!"

"Ne, he is not your Allen anymore!" Road shouted happily, giggling. Tyki just gave a smile, seeing how she had enjoyed herself.

"Aww, my dear Rhode, you don't need to be so cruel towards them. Afterall, it's their last meeting." The dark blue-haired girl just gave him a pout and stuck out her tongue, swinging her arms as she hopped up to his shoulders.

"No, this is where it starts to get exciting. Don't you think so, Tyki?" She sniggered softly with her teeth together, emitting out an eerie laughter. Tyki just peered at her sideways and sighed. That girl just loved to enjoy the sensation of people's torment, especially when they showed how desperate they were, crying silently and weakly for anyone to save them from their misery. He turned to look at the emotionless one joining them, before looking at the ones below. He covered part of his face with his gloved hand as his lips curved into a devilish smile. Those desperate pleads from those lowly humans just made him tremble with excitement even more as he controlled his inner dark self from overcoming his white current self. Tyki's eyes narrowed.

How fascinating. How fascinating.

"I don't care." Lenalee and Lavi turned to him, shocked. Lavi gritted his teeth tightly as he stomped up to his friend and gripped his collar of his Exorcist uniform.

"Don't tell me that you also have already given up on him, Yuu?!?" The bookman junior hissed softly and dangerously, glaring at the other.

"Stop it, Lavi!" Lenalee cried, but Lavi did not hear her.

"Of all people, you should not be the one abandoning him! You should very well know that." Kanda just glared at Lavi, clasping on his wrist tightly.

"Let me go, baka usagi. To me, he is just a weakling. And today, he has already shown me his resolve, that is to show me how weak he is. Such people like him are just trash who deserves no one's sympathy." The raven spat out those cold and heartless words without battling an eyelid. Lenalee's eyes widened in shock at what Kanda had just said. Lavi punched him right at his face without hesitation, sending the raven crashing to a nearby tree. Kanda's body was hunched back a little before he straightened himself, cleaning away the blood on his lips. Lenalee stood between the two of them to prevent the dispute from continuing.

"Stop it, the both of you! Fighting does not solve the problem here! Please...stop." She pleaded in a whisper, slumping down on the ground, sobbing. No one said anything. Kanda just stood where he was, while Lavi slammed his fist hardly onto a tree, sending many leaves falling. Blood started to surface as the bruises at his knackles, but he did not care.

"Ah la, they are fighting." Rhode sang as she swung Relo, the Earl's umbrella. The poor one was screaming for her to stop, but she did not seem to have heard its cries as she peered at the calm one at the middle. That silver-haired boy did not utter a word ever since he called for them. He was with them, but by his eyes, she could tell that deep inside him, it was empty. His memories and his usual emotions were gone. He was not the Allen that she met when they were fighting again. Though the one with them was him, but it felt like he was a different person.

Somehow, this feeling was weird, and it just gave her the shivers.

"Shall we go?" The three of them turned to the sky once again as Allen finally spoke something. The twins sniggered softly to each other as Rhode and Tyki just grinned. The Earl opened Relo as the group was starting to drift further away from their positions.

"Wait, Allen! Allen, don't go!" Lenalee screamed as she started to run, trying to chase after them, but Lavi stopped her before her feet stepped out of the cliff. Her hand was stretched out as far as possible, hoping that she could at least grab hold of his disappearing shadow, but realisation hit her as she knew that it was impossible. At the moonlight, though they were seen to be near to them, but the actual distance was just too great. Just...too great.

It was the worst. Allen was not coming back.

"Why...why..." She muttered, her body trembling from the shock and fear that this might happen. Her other hand gripped onto the middle of her chest as tears just continued to drip down, staining her clothes. She then covered her face with both hands as she broke down, crying as hard as she could, hoping that this would be just a dream, and everything would go back to normal again. Everyone would be together, eating, training, laughing...

"Why?!" She screamed out, as her pained voice travelled through the stale air.

Rain started to fall as the lightning flashed across the dark-red sky, their shadows flashed momentarily on the damp ground as the thunder rumbled lowly. Heavy raindrops pelted down onto their bodies like heavy weights as the three of them just stayed at their positions, not intending to move. Memories began to replay once more in their minds, with the accompaniment of more flashes of lightning and booms of thunder.

"Why? WHY?!?" Lenalee lifted her head and screamed.

That string of bond that connected the four of them together snapped. What remained was nothing but emptiness that accompanied them for the whole silent night.
