B.W. Bunny: Hey I'm back! Don't worry, I swear I'm not stalling for time because I forgot to finish writing the next chapter of Mind Games~!
Raven: But I thought that was exactly what y-
B.W. Bunny: SHUT UP RAVEN!
Raven:Okay~!
B.W. Bunny: Ugh... anyway, as much as it BURNS MY SOUL to say, I do not own DGM. Or this story actually... anyway the author was -once again, WordsLeftBehind! DANG, she rocks! Make sure you check her out!
Raven: Yeah! Now on to the story before Bunny collapses from lack of sleep!
B.W. Bunny: Oh come on, I've only pulled three all-nighters to work on my story lines!
Raven: ...Yep. Only Three...
I drifted into hazy awareness. My head was on fire, pounding along to some insane beat. I felt… wrong. My left eye wasn't twitching, anticipating the next akuma. Yet… It was twitching, I could feel the curse's incessant pull, but it felt subdued, almost as if my curse wasn't there. Faint voices interrupted my thoughts.
"...can't be…"
"...n's uniform...has to…"
"But…"
I decided to tune them out. Laying there… thinking like that… it was pleasant; nice. Nice like the vacation I'd never gotten. Nice like talking to Timcanpy. Nice like…
"Allen…? Are you okay?" Johnny's voice sliced through my thoughts. I sighed, and forced my eyes to open. My headache didn't approve. I watched as nebulous forms faded into focus, revealing Lenalee with her emerald hair, Link with his two-dots, Johnny with his glasses, along with Reever and Timcanpy. Above them, I saw the dark ceiling of HQ. I was lying on the ground, Tim and the others were standing over me. I hypothesized that something had happened as each of their faces were decorated with worried looks. I felt that there was more than worry in their glances, I sensed pity as well. It reminded me of how people stood over me after Cosimo beat me. First pity. Then disgust. I sighed, Cosimo was just another ink splotch on the book of spilled ink that called itself my past. I should have gotten over it a long time ago. Sudden pain flooded my ear, which, in turn, made my headache pound faster and more painfully.
"Ow! Timcanpy! Sto-" I cut myself off. I was pretty sure I didn't have a British accent. Not anymore. Same with the strand of auburn hair that drifted in front of my eyes. I had white hair, and I didn't have a British accent... Komui chibi-fied me. Yeah... This was going to be fun...(1) Timcanpy let go of my ear, and flew in front of me. He looked annoyed.
"Allen! How are you feeling?" Johnny, and Lenalee begged for an answer. Tim looked expectant in the same way I imagined a mother would when forcing her child to apologize.
"Oh," I flinched at the sound of the voice that was no longer mine, "I-I'm fine, sorry to bother you. May I ask what happened?" Timcanpy gave me an approving look.
"Sir Komlin the Third," Reever curtly explained. He didn't need to say anything more.
"And Sir Komlin the Fourth, along with Sir Komlin the Fifth," Johnny piped up. I decided that Komui was going to need some CROW guards if he wished to survive my wrath. If he did survive my wrath, I was going to hire a full time babysitter. Someone needed to stop that man.
"Don't worry, I convinced brother to make something to reverse the effects," Lenalee attempted to comfort us. The intended effect was not achieved, instead, Reever, Johnny, Link, Timcanpy and I blanched at the thought of what Komui's next experiment would do. There was no way I'd use Komui's concoction. Did Lenalee think I had a death wish? What would happen to me? Would I turn into a girl? Would I become a cat? Would the potion trigger my Noah transformation? What if it gave Neah control of my body for a day?
I pushed myself up into a sitting position. Fabric slid off my shoulder, revealing my crimson innocence.
"My innocence is dormant," I informed Reever as I realized that I couldn't move my arm. It seemed I was temporarily relieved of my duties as 'The Destroyer of Time'. Silence settled over us. I wasn't sure what everyone else was thinking about, but I was debating what Komui was going to do with me. I could already hear my future screams… I shuddered, Komui seriously needed a babysitter.
~Komui's POV~
I looked at the bottle of azure liquid. I had finished it as quickly as possible because Lenalee asked for it. I wasn't going to fail my adorable little sister! Even if it meant making a potion to cure some octopus. Although, said octopus was The Destroyer of Time. Not that I'm going to go easy on him because Hevlaska gave him some grand prophecy. He's still an octopus.
I reached for my bunny-covered coffee mug, and knocked the potion over. The neon liquid was soaked up by some unfinished paperwork that I'd been using as a pillow. Oops. I couldn't keep my precious Lenalee waiting much longer, she'd be upset. Making the cure again would take too long. A dark, shifting silver-filled bottle caught my attention. Hmmmmmm….. Well… I picked up the bottle that had contained Allen's antidote. It was now only a quarter of the way full, that wasn't enough to cure Allen. But... maybe if I added a bit of Miranda's Time Record-repairing potion in it…. No one would notice, what's the worst that could happen?
I poured some of the metallic liquid into the vibrant blue, and smiled as the two waltzed around each other. The colors mixed slowly, spiraling into the center of the container before the lines between the two colors blurred, and settled into an inky black. There. Done. Lenalee was going to be so happy! I finished it quickly, and it'll work! Probably! I snapped the container's lid on, and hopped to my feet. Time to go deliver my present!
B.W. Bunny: Sooo? Did you like it? Make sure to review so I can keep sending WLB ideas! And again, check her out!
(1) 'I wasn't amused by this revelation.' was the original line written by WLB. Unfortunately, I had to add my own bit of flair to it.
Raven: Don't worry guys, she didn't change too much of the story!
B.W. Bunny: didn't I already say to SHUT UP!
