This is the sequel to Like Helen of Troy. This is the Dark Order version, as was requested by a few people. I hope you all like this as much as you enoyed the first part.
I own nothing but the plot.
The Odyssey of Allen Walker
Chapter One
Three weeks after Allen returned to the Dark Order.
~The bedroom of Allen Walker
"What the bloody hell do you think you're doing here, Tyki?"
"I wanted to see you Shounen. Ever since you were stolen away by that stupid ponytail samurai… I can't stop thinking about you… more than usual. I so desperately wanted to see you."
"And I know just what you were thinking about me, I'm sure! Well, now you've seen me. Would you please get out of my room before someone finds out you're here and tries to kill you. Before I try to kill you."
"Allen, my love, you wouldn't really kill me would you? And even if you wanted me dead, surely you wouldn't anyone else to kill me, yes?"
"…there is something wrong with you." As he said this Tyki had been slowly backing Allen to the bed.
"I'm love sick, Allen love. Only you can cure me." The white haired teen was abruptly pinned to the aforementioned bed.
"Tyki Mi-" Allen was cut off by the lips of a certain sexy Noah. The younger was only wide-eyed and pissed off for a moment. As soon as tanned hands began slowly, sensually moving up Allen's pale sides he was lost. Tyki's hands moved to wrap around the boys back as he started to kiss and bite down his neck. The little moan these actions dragged from Allen's throat was absolutely divine to the Noah's ears.
"Tyki." It seemed the only thing the Exorcist was capable of saying.
Just as Tyki was about to do a little victory dance in his head, a wall exploded behind him and a veritable monster emerged (read: Komurin).
Komui focused on Allen with an intensity that would have scared even Lenalee.
"Allen-kun! Are you alright? Are you okay? Has anyone touched you?"
"No Komui-san, I'm fine. But you're Komurin just destroyed my wall, so-"
"Don't worry about that Allen-kun. I've built a new room for you already. It's 100% guaranteed to keep all these horrible, slimy octopi away from you. And-… Allen, who is this nefarious looking fellow lurking in your room?"
"He's just a pervert who won't leave me be, Komui-san." Allen grinned evilly, knowing what kind of reaction those words would get him because of Komui's new 'Allen complex.'
"But Allen, my love, I'm not a pervert, I just-"
"'Just' what, Tyki? We went over this last week. A person does not express love by constantly trying to get into the other person's pants! Honestly…"
"Allen-kun, has this fellow been trying to… to violate you?" An evil glint entered Komui's eyes. "Mwahahahaha! You will now face the wrath of Komurin XIV: Allen Version! My latest and greatest invention!"
Tyki looked truly concerned. "Uh, Allen, is this really necessary…?" Tyki tried to hide behind Allen, to no avail. "What is that thing?"
"You brought this upon yourself-"
"Haha! I can finally test out the new brainwashing feature of Komur-"
"Allen-kun, what's going on here? We heard so much…noise…" Lenalee and Lavi stood by the remnants of Allen's door in shock as they took in the scene before them. Komurin was currently trying to pry an oddly frightened looking Noah of Pleasure off of a very annoyed looking Allen Walker.
"Ah! Lenalee, Lavi. So good to see you. Do you think you could help get this bloody persistent Noah off of me?"
"O-Of, course Allen-kun," Lenalee all but stammered. "Komui-nii-san, have Komurin let go of the pervert-stalker-Noah. We'll take care of him."
("I'm not a pervert!" "But you admit to being a stalker?" "...")
"But Lenalee!"
"Nii-san!" Knowing that her tone usually meant the imminent destruction of one of his beloved Komurin, he left. Turning back to Allen and Tyki, the Chinese Exorcist had an odd sense of déjà-vu.
"Get off Allen-chan, Beauty-Mark. He obviously doesn't want you."
"How would you know you stupid rabbit? Allen could get rid of me himself, but he hasn't yet. He's just embarrassed about his feelings."
"Yeah, right. Allen-chan has always liked me best! We've been best friends since-"
"Exactly. Best friends. Once the friendship set in you were never going to get anywhere with Allen."
Allen sunk to the floor in a far corner of his room, his head in his hands as the two men continued to fight over him. Lenalee carefully made her way over and sat down beside him.
"You know, Allen-kun, this might end if you just picked someone." She tried to smile encouragingly.
"It's not that easy, Lenalee. It's just… I honestly don't know who to pick. I mean, Waizurely sort of lost interest, Road only promised to give up if I date Kanda, Lulubelle and I are just friends now that she's interested in Krowly, but that still leaves Lavi, Tyki, and Kanda. And they all have qualities I like. By the way, where is Kanda?"
And, as if summoned by his name, Kanda appeared in the ruined door frame. Lenalee and Allen could tell that he was not pleased by the scene that greeted him.
Uncharacteristically, the Samurai did not enter the fray. Using his ninja like skills, he swooped past Lavi and Tyki, grabbed his Moyashi and dashed away without alerting the combatants to his presence. Lenalee continued to sit on Allen's floor with a bemused expression on her face.
~ "What the hell Bakanda? What are you doing? Would you put me down?"
"Shut up, Moyashi. I just saved you from those two idiots. Be grateful."
"Grateful? I didn't need to be saved. And least of all by you. What I need now is to be saved from you. You're going to molest me, again, I just know it."
"What are you talking about, Moyashi? You're mine. I can molest you all I want. Besides, you didn't seem to mind too much last time, hardly resisted at all."
"Argh! God damnitt, BaKanda. It's Allen! Put me down! And I didn't 'resist' last time because you tied me up, you perverted, sadistic jerk!"
"Che, whatever Moyashi. And- fuck! God damnitt Komui, get that damn robot out of my way!"
Komui and Komurin XIV: Allen Version, loomed ahead of them. It seemed that Komui's 'Allen is in danger' sensors had kicked in again.
"Stray here, Moyashi." Setting Allen down, Kanda drew his Mugen, apparently intent on destroying the nuisance that wanted to keep him from getting the frazzled, white haired Exorcist to his room. More specifically, to his bed.
"Get the hell out of the way, Komui. I will cut you down."*(1)
Allen shrunk against a wall and started to back away from Kanda and Komurin XIV as soon as they began fighting. He began to round a corner still carefully pressed against the stone wall. A moment after rounding said corner, a hand forcefully stopped his progress. Slowly turning his head, half in caution, half in fear, Allen was confronted with the visage of Lavi.
"Jesus, Lavi! You scared me nearly to death. What are you..." Allen's voice trailed off of it's own accord as he noticed that Lavi didn't seem to be looking into his eyes as he spoke, but staring intently at his lips. He twitched nervously.
"Allen..." the Junior Bookman said rather distractedly.
"Uh, um, Lavi? Are you... alright? You seem-" Allen was cut off as he was shoved against the wall he'd been slinking against moments before. Not half a second later he found that Lavi was kissing him, with one hand behind his head, the other around his waist. Allen unexpectedly melted, his arms unconsciously wrapping around the red head's neck. However, before it could become anything more, a battered looking Komui and Komurin XIV rounded the corner.
"Stay away from Allen-kun, Junior Bookman, or Komurin XIV will be forced to kill you."
In a mix of shock and fear, Lavi let go of the younger Exorcist.
"I'm surprised at you, Lavi. I had thought that those of the Bookman clan had better self-control. How could you try to corrupt poor, innocent-"
Komui never finished his sentence. At that moment a battered looking Samurai approached them. Lavi took Kanda's appearance as his cue to flee with his Allen. They didn't make it far, nearly running into the Noah who had just materialized through the floor.
"That was sneaky, Red," Tyki grinned viciously. "But now it's time to hand over Allen and get lost."
"Like hell! Allen doesn't want to go with you, creepy Beauty-Mark. He wants to be with me, so you 'get lost.'"
"What the hell did you just say baka Usagi? Why would the Moyashi ever want to be with such an idiot?"
"Better an idiot than a temperamental, rude, wannabe Samurai."
"Better that than a devious, smartass, one-eyed Usagi."
"So now we're attacking aesthetics, Yu-chan? I'm way better looking. And my looks would compliment Allen so much better than yours. At least I look like a man, not a femish, petite, transgender."
"Are you saying I look like a girl, Usagi? It's traditional for a Samurai to have long hair, baka. And even if I did look feminine, how do you know Moyashi wouldn't prefer that? I'm obviously prettier than you."
"Of course he doesn't want someone who looks like a girl, otherwise he'd date a real girl, moron. And besides, I'm sure Allen-chan would rather have someone strong and capable who looks like they could protect him and care for him."
"Idiot, Allen and I have a way higher sync ratio than you. And who said I... necessarily.. had to be the dominant one in the relationship. At least I'd let him choose! I wouldn't mind if..." Kanda flushed, shifting his feet nervously "...if Moyashi topped. He's obviously stronger." Kanda looked both distracted and embarrassed at the idea of he and Moyashi in bed.
Lavi and Tyki just stared at the Japanese male for a while. They didn't seem to notice as a bright red, deeply mortified, but rather flattered Allen Walker began to inch away from them, Komui and his Komurin XIV right at his side.
"Well, I guess I could trade off with Allen. I mean... I'm older and bigger than him, so... it's a little weird, but if it means being with the bean sprout..."
"The two of you are so off about Allen," Tyki said. Lavi and Kanda started. They'd pretty much forgotten about the Noah.
"We're wrong about him? We know him better than you, you damn Noah!"
"I know that what the lovely, little Allen really wants is to be dominated. He's stronger than all of you. He protects all of you. He's the leader. He just wants someone else to take over all of that for him, if only in the bedroom. Plus, I got to make out with him. So, I know first hand. He'd be mine by now if it weren't for that damn supervisor of yours."
The two Exorcists decided that, for once, Komui and his Komurin creation deserved their thanks. Komui's new 'Allen comlpex,' that was scarier than his sister complex, was finally something other than a nuisance.
"That was borderline sadistic. I don't know how Allen can stomach you. I mean, Allen-" Lavi couldn't find the boy he was addressing.
"Where the hell is the Moyashi?"
"How should I know?"
"He was standing nearest you."
"Well- hey, Komui is gone too."
~ "Thank you Komui, but you don't have to follow me around. I can protect myself, I think."
"That's quite alright Allen-kun. I'm here for you. I simply can't allow either you or Lenalee to be violated or corrupted in anyway. It would be a crime to allow such a thing! Ah! I should show you the new safe room I designed for you! Lenalee has already seen hers."
The room that Allen approached- cautiously- looked like the entrance to a small fortress.
"Uh, Komui, why does it... sort of... look like the Bastille? Are you sure you designed a room and not a dungeon by accident?"
"...Of curse, Allen-kun, of course! Now, if you'll just step inside-"
Allen was shoved into his 'safe room,' the door slammed behind him.
"H-hey! Komui, what are you doing?"
"I'm sorry Allen-kun, but this is the only way to be sure you and Lenalee are safe. I locked Lenalee in her room as well, when Lavi and Tyki's fight became a bit too violent."
"Komui!"
"Sorry Allen-kun, but I'm afraid Komurin XIV and I must go destroy your suitors. It's for your own good."
Allen could hear the sounds of the robot getting further and further away.
"...Well, this sucks."
~ "God damnitt Komui! What the hell is your problem? And what have you done with the Moyashi?"
"Mwahahahaha! I have Allen safely hidden away from all you evil, slimey Octopi. I will never allow you to taint sweet, innocent Allen-kun."
"Oudzuchi, Koudzuchi! Get out of the way Komui! I don't want to hurt you, but I'll do whatever it takes to get to Allen." Lavi hit the robot against the wall with his Innocence; however, this Komurin seemed to be quite a bit more resilient than its predecessors.
Tyki watched all this from the side lines. He quickly became impatient, phased through a wall so as to get around Komurin XIV, and continued his search for Allen.
~ "Hey, Lenalee, can you hear me?"
"Just Barely, Allen-kun."
"Ah. Hey, are your Dark Boots useless in these rooms?"
"I'm afraid so. Yours too, huh?"
"Yeah. Do you have a window- a real one? Mine is fake."
"Same here. Nii-san was really thorough with these rooms... So, maybe we could spend this time figuring out who you really want to be with?"
"...Fine. not like there's much else to do..."
"Why don't we start with a 'negative vs. positive ' list for each. That should keep us occupied for a while."
"Grr! Alright. Well, Lavi-"
~"Bloody hell! How big is this place? Maybe I should ask for directions to my Allen." Shortly after this thought Tyki was fortunate to come across the science department and Supervisor Reever.
"Pardon me, but I'm looking for Allen Walker. I believe he has been placed in some sort of... special room," Tyki said in as charming a voice as he could muster for someone who was not his beloved.
Reever looked at him blandly, already too tired and annoyed because of Komui's new complex and new Komurin.
"Who are you? You look like that Noah from Timcanpy's memory of the Ark incident."
"I am a Noah. And I'm just looking for Allen Walker-"
"Yeah, whatever," interrupted an exhausted, peeved Reever, "the possibility of your arrival was mentioned. I don't really care who Allen falls in love with, etc.- he's saved my department and I too often. But I swear to God if you hurt him you will beg for death before the Dark Order's Science Department is through with you," the Australian man said with a continually blank face and flat tone of voice that rather creeped-out the Portuguese Noah.
A dozen scientists appeared behind Reever and nodded their agreement. Tyki regarded them cautiously, nervously. After all, these scientists were of the same sort as that crazy man who had created that insane robot monster.
Reever continued in the same flat voice, "Anyhow, Allen's 'safe room' is on the third floor."
"...Okay... well, thanks. I hope I never have reason to meet any of you again." And Tyki Mikk was gone, phasing through the floor.
"Are you sure it that was wise? Telling a Noah Allen's location? I mean, that guy has tried to kill Allen before..." a scientist asked nervously, fearing for his dear friend.
"Don't worry Johnny, Allen can take care of himself. Besides, everyone is too head-over-heels for the poor boy these days. Even if that Noah wasn't in love with Allen, there are still quite a few other Exorcist's and Noah that would protect him... God, this war has become so bloody strange... Alright everyone, back to work."
As a side note, "Johnny, if you're so worried about that man's intentions why don't you start up a few new experiments for ways to torture the Noah? That's your new assignment, get to it."
The scientist returned to work muttering about the misfortune of the savior Exorcist's life as of late. Poor boy...
~ "Where is Allen, Komui?" Lavi questioned harshly.
"I won't tell an octopus like you. Never!"
"Two things are going to happen if you don't tell me where you've hidden the Moyashi. First, I will personally make sure you are never again able to make another Komurin. Second, I will sick the creepiest Noah, Sheryll Camelot, and Road on you beloved Lenalee"
Komui's eyes widened considerably and despite his insane 'Allen complex,' Sheryll Camelot was far concern and far creepier than his little brother, Tyki Mikk. Komui caved.
"Okay! Please just leave the Camelot's out of this! Anything but that part of the Noah family!"
"So where. Is. The. Moyashi?" Kanda demanded, his patience near it's end.
"Th-third floor, north end!"
~ Due to the amount of time he'd wasted searching the Order aimlessly, Tyki arrived at the 'safe rooms' not minutes before his competition, Lavi and Kanda.
Assuming that the arrival of Allen's suitors meant their freedom, Lenalee was very happy.
The three suitors were certanily not happy in each others presence, as per usual.
Allen, seeing all three men as they fought to get to his door first... he wasn't sure he wanted to be rescued anymore.
This started as seven pages, likes the prequel, and somehow turned into something a great deal longer. And so, I will now be turnign this into a chaptered fic. I have no idea how this happened.
Also, reviewers are allowed to vote for the person they would like paired with Allen at the end. I have my own ideas for the ending, but I'm willing to change things up.
*(1) There is an ending already written that I like, but decided to change anyhow. So, the asterisk is where that alternate ending would begin.
For those of you waiting for an update to Somewhere I Belong, the next chapter is finally in the works. I'm having such terrible writers block. Even the end of the chapter of this fic was rather forced. For those fics some of you have requested, I am still working on them. Please bear with me.
Thank you so much for reading this. I so hope you enjoy it and find it as fun and amusing as was the first installment. Please review and tell me what you think it. And don't forget to vote for a pairing.
Ja!
