The First Meeting

"Would you like another pot of tea?"

The young boy shook his head politely. "No, thank you. I will leave the payment here." He stood up and left. Two women, a child and a young lady of seventeen joined him as he strolled down the street. "How was tea, Allen? Did they try to hit on you again?" The younger one drawled.

"Hmm, that's a rude way to put it. If you mean to ask if they flirted with me, then yes. But I'm not interested in girls, somehow," Allen mused thoughtfully. "That's right; you didn't even bat an eye at my doll when I dress her prettily. Right, Lenalee?" The child complained. Lenalee smiled at her charge.

"He complimented me, Road. He is gentlemanly; he just doesn't have a romantic interest yet."

Allen chuckled in reply. "I guess so. You're both sisters to me. I don't think of either of you in a romantic manner." "Hou…Then what qualities would you look for in a person?" Road quipped with a sly smile. "Hmm…That's really hard to answer. I'm more of liking the person for who they are, so I don't look out for any particular traits," Allen answered thoughtfully.

"So that means the person can be a total ass as long as there's chemistry?" Road asked. "Road, that's a vulgar word!" Lenalee reprimanded to which Road just shrugged. "Perhaps," Allen replied with a smile. "You're such a masochist, Allen!" A barking laughter was heard.

"Hello David. Hello Jasdero. I thought you both were in Austria," Allen greeted the twins. Jasdero giggled. "We came back yesterday, hi hi! Tyki told us you'd be here!" The white haired boy blinked in surprise. "You need to find me?" "Yeah, Cross left us a bunch of fuckin' debts! You're his student, right? Pay for it 'cause we ain't gonna do shit about it!" David shoved a stack of bills into his hands.

Allen went pale instantly. "More…debts?" He was on the verge of passing out. The moment he finishes paying for a bunch of debts a fresh wave of bills would come. There was no end to it!! "Oh, and Uncle told me he's got a mission he thinks you can pull off," David added. Allen recovered from his slump and cocked his head curiously. "Sennen-ojisama has a job for me?" "Something real simple, he said. Can't get you too much involved in our affairs, since you're neutral and everything," the dark haired guy answered simply.

"That's okay. I'm technically a mercenary, so I can help out from time to time," Allen good-naturedly answered.

"Well, if that's the case let's go home. I'm sure Tyki will be back soon from his latest wolf hunt anyway," Road stated and the five of them began a walk towards the ancestral grounds of their family. The brilliant garden hid the dark gloomy aura that surrounded the mansion. "Welcome home, Road-tama!" A young teen with wild orange hair greeted upon opening the large door for them. "Lero, is Sennen-ojisama home?" Road asked sweetly. "Nu-uh, as far as Lero knows, lero," The boy answered.

Despite the forbidding atmosphere around the house, inside it was very much normal like any other home. "Allen-chama!" Another voice squealed and a lithe body came hurtling towards the snow haired boy, catching him off-guard. "Sachiko! Don't do that to Allen-tama!" Lero complained. "Aww, seeing your crush hugging someone else is getting your panties in a bunch?" David snickered. "Hi hi, panties!" Jasdero giggled insanely after his brother. "Sachiko is not my crush, lero!!" The orange top protested hotly.

'Sachiko' pouted. "Call me Chomesuke-cho! Sachiko is my family name and it sounds like a girl's name!" "Chomesuke, you're choking me…" Allen wheezed, turning a light blue colour. "Allen-chama, don't die-cho!" Chomesuke panicked and shook his young master. "Err…Chomesuke-kun, he will if you continue shaking him like that," Lenalee stated. Fortunately for Allen, someone scooped him out of Chomesuke's death grip. Allen was surprised to find himself propped on one arm and broad chest effortlessly and instantly knew who it was. "Welcome home, Skin," the young boy greeted kindly.

Skin frowned. "I should be saying that. Sennen-ojiisan won't be coming back until dinner tonight, but Tyki's back and he's supposed to discuss mission details with you. He's your partner for this time's task." Allen nodded to show he was paying attention to his words. "Where is Tyki?" "In the parlour. We wanted to have tea first," Skin answered. "I had tea outside just now, but I wouldn't mind joining you both," the petite boy stated cheerily. His appetite was legendary.

Skin snorted, knowing full well the extent of Allen's stomach capacity and having the common ground of loving sweets, nobody ever understood their indulgence in desserts. It was hard to explain the feeling of comradeship between the seemingly strange young boy who had no ties to the family and the oddball member of the regal clan. Skin was very different from his pure-blooded vampire family. He was half-demon and the magical combination came off as an upset, because it put Skin in an irritable mood and when he snaps, he goes completely out of control. The only ones who had been able to subdue his bouts of rage were his Millennium uncle and Allen. Let's not forget sweets now, shall we?

Though Allen was the youngest and latest to join their tight circle, he was also the most powerful after the Millennium Count. Road and Tyki followed a close third, Tyki being fifth eldest child of the infamous Noah clan. "Hey, how's my favourite boy doing?" Tyki greeted Allen and held his arms out to lift Allen from Skin's arm and set him to the ground. Allen's smile brightened. "Just fine, thank you very much. Skin told me you have to talk about the mission with me."

Tyki smirked. 'Yes, that. We have a mightily simple task, but we fail then that's the end of us."

"What do we have to do?" Allen asked curiously.

"We're sneaking into the lycan's base in Ireland. There's news that they're transporting an amount of Innocence to another base and will be making a stop there. Our job is to steal the Innocence," Tyki stated. Allen frowned. "But…Isn't the Innocence supposed to be equally divided between the vampire clan and lycan clan? It feels…unfair for us to take what's theirs." "You've heard the story before too, right? Hundred and nine Innocence are divided equally between the two clans and the one person who holds the last Innocence has the power to change the balance between the two clans, which is to say he or she can recreate the world," Road summarized.

"We've got fifty four and they've got fifty four," David stated. "Hi hi hi, but Allen's makes fifty five! They'll never know we have one Innocence more than them!" Jasdero sung. "No one knows if Allen-kun holds the legendary Innocence. It could be an Innocence we already have or is owned by the lycans," Lenalee informed. "That's why we're going to steal it and see if any of their Innocence contains strength that shows such potential power," Skin concluded.

"If it doesn't, can we return it to them?" Allen asked humbly.

"Bah, you're too soft!" David scoffed.

"David, you can't say such things to Allen. It's Allen's kindness that makes him so loved by everyone," Tyki chided, patting Allen's head softly in praise. A light flush covered Allen's face. "It's not like that. I'm just a small person." "You called being admired and worshipped by a legion of various creatures of Dark and Light small?" Road interrupted with a large grin. "Allen-kun, they follow you because of your ideal for a peaceful world and your gentleness towards everything," Lenalee proclaimed with a smile.

"But will it really happen, hi? Lycans and vampires living in peace, hi hi," Jasdero questioned.

"I really hope it does," Allen answered with a smile.

"Yu, wait up!"

"What is it, you baka usagi?"

The redhead grinned at his long haired companion. "We've just put down the package. Don't you want to go grab something to drink, or is it that you can't hold your alcohol?" "Bullshit, ragtag lycan. I can hold my drink much better than you," Kanda scoffed. "Mou, Yu! We've been friends for the last hundred years! Don't resort to calling me childish names now," Lavi mocked good-naturedly.

"Grrr, don't call me by my name!" Kanda growled.

"Can you learn to loosen up? You scare people away easily with those looks," the redhead werewolf quirked as he ducked an incoming fist. "Shut up or I'll cut that tongue out!" Kanda snapped. "Easy now, who's the werewolf here?" Lavi laughed. The two continued their one-sided argument, one-sided conversation as they walked on.

"Okay…The sun has fallen. Are you ready, lad?" Tyki asked quietly. Allen nodded, a dagger tucked into one of his boots. "Remember, if we get spotted I stay behind. You have to run for the portal," The twelve year old insisted. Tyki smiled apologetically at the youth, patting his head softly. "Ya know, Allen? You don't have to do this. You're on neutral side, and nobody asks you questions because you're Cross's only student. But if you keep helping us, the sides will think that you're siding with the vampires. It won't do well for you and your gathering of the neutral."

Allen nodded, showing that he understood. "But Tyki…Even if I stand in between of the war, you are still my family. I will answer to your calls if you all need me. And you all understand that I can be your enemy on any given occasion should I be hired by the opposition." "Well…If you say so. Let's move," Tyki ordered, and the pair stealthily crept towards the large building there. "Strange…No wards…" The taller man mused. Holding Allen's hand in one, he placed the other palm on the wall and phased the both of them through.

"According to Timcanpy's records…The room should be northwards and at the third corridor of this path turn right," Allen informed. Slowly and surely, the duo reached the room. Allen had been extremely puzzled by the lack of guards. One would think that they would fiercely watch over their precious treasure. He was afraid there was a trap that lay in waiting. "I've got it," Tyki stated, holding up the box. At that moment, a voice called out. "Who's there?!"

Two people stood at the doorway. Having planned for this situation, Tyki pushed Allen hard at the two running towards them while he escaped. The dark skinned man mouthed an apology to Allen before phasing through the wall.

Lavi and Kanda were shocked to find intruders in the room where the delivered Innocence was supposedly kept. A man and a boy were standing there, the boy looking surprised as the man pushed him out of the way and made his escape.

The bandanna flew off from the momentum of being shoved. Kanda did not realize a gasp of awe escape him as lengthy locks of white shone nearly silver in front of him beneath the moon's light from the central vent of the ceiling. The petite body hurtled backwards right into him and they both crashed to the floor. "Yu, are you okay?!" Lavi yelled. "Ugh…" Kanda propped himself up and found large, expressive liquid platinum pools glittering at him.

"U-Um…If you don't mind, can you get off me please?" The young stranger asked meekly.

Kanda stood up immediately and pulled him to his feet. "Who're you? How did you get in? Were you with that thief?" Lavi bombarded him with questions. Allen shrank back a bit. "My name is Allen Walker. I'm here because I was going to visit General Yeegar, and I was just shoved away by the thief. I'm a pro at getting lost…I just wandered into this room when you both came." Lavi looked closer at Allen. The red mark on his face seemed to glint ominously. "…You're an Immortal, aren't you? I thought you were a normal human."

Allen nodded. "Yes, I heard that General Yeegar was visiting this place, so I've come to pay him a visit on behalf of my Master, General Cross." Lavi and Kanda both perked at the name of Cross. "You're General Cross' student?" Kanda asked sceptically. "I've heard of you before, but whoa…The rumours are rather true! White hair, scar over the eye, cute face, petite girl," Lavi chirped, circling him. "Uhm…But I'm a guy," Allen corrected the redhead.

Lavi paused at his slip-up. "Ah…Well, you did look girlish there, so I was mistaken. My bad."

"Aren't you worried? The thief must be getting away at this very moment," Allen asked, feigning concern. "It's okay, if he took it from the security room, then he's got the fake ones. We were anticipating an attack," Lavi informed. "That's amazing insight," Allen chirped with a smile. "Oi, how can we be sure that you're really Cross' student?" Kanda suddenly interrupted.

"Ah, come here, Timcanpy," Allen called. The little golden ball landed on Allen's palm, seeming to be cuddling against his master's hand. "Whoa…Even I've never seen a sentient Golem before! There's no doubt, only General Cross is known worldwide to have a sentient Golem!" Lavi muttered in amazement, poking Timcanpy lightly. In return, Timcanpy snapped at his fingers. "Oh dear…Timcanpy doesn't like being prodded. Isn't that right?" Allen asked; which Timcanpy kissed its master's cheek as an answer.

"…Do you still want to meet General Yeegar?" Kanda asked stiffly.

"Yes, I would like that very much. Unless, he is resting?" Allen questioned uncertainly. "Nah, at this time he should be having a late supper. He doesn't really sleep you know, General Yeegar. Years of battle have him on the alert," Lavi stated, leading the way down to the kitchen. Yeegar looked up to see who could be up in this hour of the night when his face broke into a wide smile. "Allen, it's been quite some time! About a year ago, was it?" The old general greeted them and pulled Allen into a hearty hug.

Allen returned the hug with a refreshed grin. "Yes, I missed you, sir." "Does Cross still make you pay his debts?" Yeegar asked with a hint of humour in his eyes. Allen stiffened, and his shoulders sagged. "Unfortunately, sir, I'd have to say yes to that question…" "Would you like to assist me in making supper?" Yeegar questioned kindly. "Of course, sir!" Allen replied in enthusiasm. Kanda could not help but watch the small child totter back and forth the kitchen like a seasoned cook helping the general with preparing supper. In his long years as an Immortal, he had never seen such a beautiful child, human or not. Immortals were beings once human and mortal, but were bound to eternity due to one reason or another. He could see that this boy had been cursed into being an Immortal.

Cold hearted as he may be, Kanda felt a slight pity for this boy named Allen Walker, to be forever trapped in a child's body. For a moment, Allen looked up and their eyes connected. Long eyelashes frame the round soft silver eyes, strands of milky white crowning the petite face. He smiled at Kanda. Then the connection broke off, as though it never happened. The Japanese was taken aback by the brilliance given just with a simple curl upwards of the lips. It was…radiant. Nobody got a word in afterwards because supper was served.

"Allen, your cooking is great!!" Lavi praised, asking for seconds. "Ah, I don't really think so. I'm just used to it," Allen bashfully answered. "I guess you cook for General Cross during your travels?" A soft spoken girl named Rou Fa asked. "Yes, I do," the young boy nodded. "Kanda, after dinner please escort Allen to one of the spare guest rooms," Yeegar requested. Kanda nodded. He would not question this general's orders. After cleaning the dishes, the white haired child dutifully followed after Kanda to his room for the night.

The soft taps of boots against the marble floor was the only sound that accompanied them in their silence. Kanda couldn't understand his growing fixation with Allen. He had not taken his eyes off the small one even once. "…Kanda?" Kanda's head snapped up at being called. "Um…You just spaced out," Allen pointed out. Kanda had to crouch down to come face to face with him. Both his hands came up to cup Allen's cheeks.

Allen didn't know what to think when Kanda just pulled him close and kissed him. He went stiff the moment a pair of rough lips touched his own, pushing against him with a pent-up hunger that was evident from the intensity of Kanda's kiss. The elder Immortal was so drawn by the softness of Allen's lips; he forgot that he was dealing with a mere child. A lust that was absolutely an unspeakable sin before someone at such a young age grew within him, as he spared no mercy in plundering the virgin lips of the child he had pressed against his much larger body. Allen writhed and struggled in Kanda's grasp, an inaudible gasp escaping him when Kanda's tongue slipped into his mouth, uninvited.

Having remained in a child form for as long as he could remember, Allen had forgotten the intimacy that could exist between two individuals. Fingers clenching the broad shoulders tightly, Allen fell into the lull of old familiarity, slowly relenting to the blatant deed of the taller one before him. Too much time he had spent being looked upon as a child, and treated so. This Immortal before him was willing to lavish upon him a fervour that was forbidden for someone of his supposed age, when he was actually nearing centuries old from his curse.

Kanda moved with caution over foreign territory, tongue slowly tracing and memorizing every ridge of solid enamel and every bit of suppleness of the flesh he tasted. Sweetness was a loathe of Kanda, but the honey-like taste with the smooth texture of milk seemed to cling onto his taste buds and he was willing to plunge deeper and drown in the intoxicating flavour of sin. Breathing growing short, Allen finally pulled away from Kanda, panting for air as his silver-grey eyes bore into the deep darkness of Kanda's. Passion and obsession has never been a master of Allen, but right now Allen desired this man before him more than anything. And Kanda finally understood what had pulled him to Allen. This child in itself was an essence of innocence, something he had lost a long time ago, and never thought to seek again.

The small pink lips were bruised from the sweet abuse it received, and if Kanda was ever hesitant to kiss Allen again, it was erased by the look of need in Allen's gaze. Before he knew it, his hands once on Allen's cheeks were now wrapped firmly around his waist and back. To him, who had lived more than three centuries, Allen was only a child who had recently become a creature that would cease to age, but…Possessiveness overtook Kanda. He wanted to keep this boy to himself, train him the ways of an Immortal, and teach Allen to become a lover to him, even if he looked the child that he was. This was how strongly Kanda felt for the petite one within the confines of his arms. Kanda lowered his lips to Allen's, wanting to kiss him again.

"Yu!!"

This is my first DGM AU ficlet. Below is the list of creatures soon to be commonly found in

Vampire (The Noah Clan)
They are bloodsuckers, and unlike myths are able to walk in the sun, eat garlic, unafraid of crosses, etc, but these rules apply only to the pureblood vampires. The Noah Clan is the only clan of pureblood vampires in which they are able to go on long without drinking blood. Lesser vampires mostly populate the earth and they create more by 'blooding' humans. The Noah Clan has no need to do that because they have the ability to procreate unlike the lesser vampires.

Lycan (Lavi)
Werewolves of the most advanced form, they have no need to transform and can control the urges brought on by the full moon. These werewolves were born under special circumstances, fulfilling the astrological signs that signifies their powers. Common werewolves are created by the bites of these pure werewolves, better known as Lycans.

Immortal (Allen, Kanda)
A mortal released from the constrict of time, but also doomed to forever wander for eternity. They only can become Immortal under two circumstances. One in which a mortal had been cursed. Two, where a mortal's emotions overpower his/her will to live.

Demon (Skin/half, Lero, Chomesuke/Sachiko, Timcanpy/half)
Demons come in many variations, but the general grouping of trait is that they are born with inherent magical abilities and need no form of incantation or medium to use magic. Demons are the most common type of creature to roam the earth, more so than vampires and lycans. However, demon blood contains magic that may be 'allergic' to other forms of natural magic, so it is rare to find demon crossbreeds that are not half human, humans being without magic in their blood.

Undead (Lenalee)
The undead are creatures that have returned from beyond the grave. Although vampires are supposedly classified as a type of undead, they are different because they need blood to survive. These do not need anything to continue existing. The undead are born through five ways:

When one has sold his soul, but body and mind remains though he is dead. These are rational undead who are capable of coherent thoughts, but not emotions. Another is when a necromancer revives them. These are controlled by the master who calls them back. Rogue undead are ones that wake because of a myriad of reasons, being exposed to a high amount of magic being one. These are dangerous because they operate solely on instincts and cannot think.

The fourth way is when the living's feelings of wanting to live is so strong, even when they die without realizing it; their emotions tie their souls down to their bodies. They will rise, having all the fundamentals for a human being except life. If they cannot find the reason they want to live for within a set amount of time, they will die once the bond connecting their soul and body 'expire'. Lenalee is one such undead. The fifth is the Akuma, and the most vile form of undead. They are enemies to all creatures. More on Akuma will be described in future chapters.

Golem (Timcanpy)
Golems are creatures that are able to connect to each other to communicate, making them the most common creatures used as a tool. They have no needs of anything and are incapable of thought. However, when a golem has reached a certain age, it will evolve to be a sentient golem, which grows instinctive feelings and are much more smarter than ordinary golems. These golems are extremely rare, Timcanpy being one such golem.

Please review, because I'd like to know how this has turned out, thank you!
