OK! Yes, I am working on my other stories...no they won't be quick updates. I find procrastinating and working with idiots for your supporting club officers rather stressful. As much as I'd like to write, I never get the chance. Have fun reading this~! I'm always hit by waves of inspiration whenever I read other fan fiction stories. :D not that I'm copying them, I like having unique stories. Well, please review if you want to comment about anything or correct me if I screwed up somewhere! I'm still a novice at writing, so yeah...I'm open to constructive criticism, just not flames!

disclaimer: I do not own it! Back away you crazy lawyers!

P.S. thanks a lot to my lovely reviewer who told me that the words were all bolded! Ahhh, it wasn't even like that in my document, I don't know how it happened, xP

In the Beginning

Dead...dead, he's actually going to be dead...

DEAD, DEAD, DEAD...WHY?!

Is this the beginning of the end, or the start of a new beginning...?

"Allen...my dear boy..."

A small boy with auburn hair that seemed to be fading to grey looked blankly at the shadowed figure- his right arm tensed up in a manner that showed the excruciating pain wracking his entire body as he sat there, laying against the grubby wall of a London building.

"Whatever may happen to me, or to you, I just want you to remember..."

Tremors shook the man as he lay underneath the black blanket of the night, and in a moment, a single, spoken line spun an intricate web of complications and matters in the life of the young boy forever.

"Keep walking, Allen."

...In another place...

"I sense the soul of one who mourns deeply. It feels...different. Nevertheless! More of my precious Akuma must be made~! Lero, you can accompany me this time, just stay quiet and let me do all the talking!"

"H-Hai, Millenium Earl- Sama!"

"You don't have to act like you know Japanese, Lero. Its sad listening to you speak broken Japanese mixed with English."

"...yes sir..."

...In another other place...

"I guess its about that time I should go checking in on those two idiots. According to our agreement, and if Mana's been truthful about everything, then those two should be traveling somewhere close by. Apparently they're with some circus... Excuse me! I'm ready for my bill."

"Yes sir. I'll be right back with the full amount." The waiter walked away, his long strides taking him behind the kitchen doors in only a matter of seconds, giving Cross Marian more than enough time to slip out of the restaurant with his small companion, Timcampy, a tiny little golem, modified with a feisty personality as well as undeniable loyalty to those it deems as trustworthy.

"I hope the boy's been raised well. I don't have time to deal with an annoying brat. Ugh... just thinking about it is making me lose my meal." Cross sped up upon hearing the crashes and shouting coming from the restaurant behind him. "Heh, I guess we won't be able to walk out in the open around here for a while now, will we, Timcampy?" The golem only nodded in response, too much aware of its master's bad habits.

I'm not entirely sure when this story will update, haha(because I forgot what it was even going to be about), but I posted it up for a reason! I'm not going to give up on this! xD Look forward tot he next update! :)
