Welcome one and all to the new home of Heart Hymn. I have a quick question before you start reading the revised and hopefully improved story!
Quick Q: Would you rather me keep the same name, "Heart Hymn" or change it to something like "Song of Sin" or "Melody of Madness"
If you're new here then enjoy,
but if you're not, I hope you'll take the time to reread because I've altered some key parts.
Disclaimer: I do not own DGM, I do however own any and all OC's.
Allen, and his personal shadow, Link, made their way through the new London headquarters to meet the others at the cafeteria. The new Headquarters was larger than the old one and it had taken Allen, who was easily lost, a while to memorize important routes. He still managed to get himself lost on occasion....
He was getting impeccably tired of having Link trail him almost everywhere, and through his exaggerated sense of empathy, could tell that his friends were tired of him monitoring their conversations all the time as well. It wasn't that they had anything to hide but the inspector made it seem like they were already guilty and he was just re-watching the recordings.
They entered, a tad late because Allen and Kanda's training session had run late because the girly haired samurai had refused to admit defeat. Actually, as usual, it had been a straight out tie.... Komui had made them spar at least once a week so they didn't fight quite so much verbally. Most said it was actually quite a spectacle.
As they entered, Lavi waved them over. Allen ordered his mountain of food and completely blocked Link out as he lectured him, yet again, on the necessity of a balanced diet. Blada blada, did Link have a parasitic innocence or something?
Lenalee reported that Leverrier was announcing his decision on Allen's surveillance yet again today. It would be the third announcement Leverrier had made and they all doubted Allen's sentence would be lifted. Leverrier wanted dirt and he would keep coming up with excuses to keep Allen under surveillance. Cross's disappearance hadn't helped his case at all. Now, instead of dividing their attentions between the two, all there suspicions were on Allen. Lenalee was furious, Lavi, although he didn't show it, was worried, and the others, Johnny, Krory, Miranda, Komui, among others, were upset and thought it was all unjust. Allen was just a victim, in their minds. Someone that the Earl and Noah had picked out of everyone to be a part of their plans.....
As Allen finished his last piece of desert, Johnny sprinted over to their table.
"Allen, Lenalee, Lavi. You're all supposed to report to Komui's office after you finish eating." He looked at their empty plates and spoke again. "Actually, now would be good." He pushed his glasses up and started towards Komui's office.
They arrived momentarily, greeted by Reever in front of Komui's office. Reever pushed open the door.
"Aw dang it, why does he always fall asleep." Reever fumed. He walked up to Komui, Lenalee hid behind the door, knowing what was coming next. "Sir, Lenalee's getting married."
Everyone gasped as the usual alarm didn't work. Reever sighed, "Any volunteers?" Johnny and Lavi stepped back, pushing Allen forward. "Sorry Allen." Reever mumbled apologetically, Allen pushed Lenalee out from behind the door, concealing himself. "Sir, Allen and Lenalee are getting married and running away to Paraguay."
"LEEEEE-NAAA-LEEE! NOOOOO! WHERE IS PARAGUAY?!" The bunny mug went flying as Komui lunged for his sister's waist but she deflected it with a book of the nearest shelf. "Allen!" The supervisor's eyes glinted towards the scared looking exorcist.
Lenalee sighed, "Nii-san, I'm not getting married."
Lavi cleared his throat, "Supervisor, you called for us?"
Komui's other side flashed in and his composure as supervisor returned. "Oh, we have several finders in Sweden as of now, they have reported that at night, a girls voice starts singing a lullaby of sorts. Demon's are flocking everywhere so we believe that it may be a new innocence. Every night it's in a different town and it seems it will soon leave Sweden for the next country over. They have a recording of it and we've tested to make sure it's not hypnotic. It only lulls the mind. It doesn't fully put anyone to sleep or under any trance. It's strange, every night at midnight the singing starts and then after about 5 minutes it stops. The finders can't pinpoint where or who it's coming from because they say it sounds like it's coming from every direction. We aren't sure if it is a parasitic innocence, which somehow seems unlikely because of," Komui cleared his throat, "Well, the innocence that the late Cross used. We're wondering if maybe somehow Maria's innocence found it's way into a new host. Anyways, we want you to investigate but I'll let you hear the recording first. The reason I'm sending all three of you is because, well, just listen." Komui gave them a 'be ready' look. "Another reason we're not sure if it's innocence or not is...."
The supervisor adjusted his hat and walked over to a golem floating nearby. The golem fluttered closer to the 3 exorcists and began playing the recording. A familiar, and in some cases nostalgic, melody emitted from the little golem in a voice that compared to an Angel...
All three of the exorcists were too stunned to react. That song......
"Allen-kun...." Lenalee murmured looking at the white haired boy. His expression was troubled. His eyes took on a slight yellow tint then turned back to their normal silver. The only one who noted this, however, was Lavi. And it worried him more than most could ever know.
