Not to mention a nosy rabbit and Lolita girl who's sister complex brother is the principal. Can Allen keep to the shadows or will his history come to the light? LxL and KxA
Chapter One:
"You fucking dumbass brat! Can you do anything right?!" A man screamed landing a punch across the face of a young boy with shoulder length red hair. The boy immediately dropped to the floor in a fetal position screaming for the man to stop. But the punches and kicks only continued. The young boy began to cry.
"Adam, if you don't stop then someone will surely notice the bruises. He's going to have to stay home again. If Allen misses another day without a doctors note he'll have to repeat his grade." A woman with long yellow blond hair said stepping out of the shadows.
"He has to learn somehow not to misbehave. He was told not to leave the school without Road or Tyki but he was caught by Wisely and Sheril on the outside of town. He was trying to leave." The man said, the boy Allen had managed to get up and crawl to the corner of the room hugging his knees to his chest rocking back and forth.
"Do what you want but I won't help you if someone starts asking questions." The woman said and began walking off, Allen's head shot up and his eyes widened. Darting to his feet he only had seconds to reach the woman before more pain would ensue. And he was just seconds too slow before he was grabbed.
"No! Don't please! I won't run again…I won't run!" Allen screamed as the man named Adam forced the boys arm into the open fire of the fire place. Allen let out a pained screamed the moment the flames met his flesh. Even though his arm was only in the flames for just a few seconds, it felt like an eternity instead. He was thrown to the ground, screaming in pain. The woman had run back in and chaos ensued as he was rushed out and to the hospital. The woman eventually brought him his things which only filled a single backpack. He knew what she was trying to tell him.
"This is your only open window Allen. Once you're out, never look back and never stop running or hiding. I'm the only one who knows your hair has gone white. This is my work business card, if you ever need additional help on where to go, don't hesitate to call okay. I will also help you with any schooling you wish to do." The woman said sitting in the chair next to his hospital bed.
"Aunt Lulu Bell…how did you come to marry such a horrible man like Uncle Adam?" Allen asked hugging his knees his head rested sideways on them as he stared blankly at the kind woman.
"He was never always like this, I don't know what changed him. I guess it's because you look so much like your mother who he was in love with. He never forgave his brother Mana for taking her and with Neah's disappearance, things only got worst. Stay away Allen, our home will only be your death." She said one last time before standing and walking away after slipping two credit cards within the front pocket of Allen's backpack.
During the early night hours of the next morning Allen changed out of the hospital gown and into his own clothes. Black cotton sweat pants and a thin black long sleeved shirt followed by a white pair of gloves he never had to wear before. Slipping out of the room he avoided nurses and doctors taking a back stairwell which led to an alley way by the hospital. Keeping to the alleys Allen silently slipped out of town unnoticed and knew within the next few hours he would be a wanted person to the Noah Family.
~Allen's POV~
"One year…that was all one year ago and I am finally far away enough that they won't find me. Better yet hopefully they've given up on looking for me." I muttered sitting on a bus that was taking me to a gated school just up the road in the country side of Paris, France. I flipped open the cell phone I got six months before and smiled at the message from Lulu Bell.
'It's official you are now Allen Walker once more and no longer Allen Noah. Have fun at Black Order Private Academy.' The message read from Lulu Bell. Since day one she was always secretly helping me get out of the clutches of the family, but even though I now had my original last name back, my uncle could still come for me. The school I was going to though should be far away enough where Uncle Adam wouldn't be able to find me and take me away even still I vowed to never speak of that horrid past. From coming home to see my parents murdered, to being forced to live with that psychotic uncle to now being on the run. The bus after another 15 minutes pulled through the gates to the school. It was a large place almost resembling that of a mansion out of a gothic horror movie.
"Well it can't be any worse than what I've been through. It beats being on the run." I grumbled climbing off of the bus and into the courtyard where a girl was waiting. She had dark black hair with a green tint put up in pig tails wearing was most likely the school uniform; a black and white blouse with a black skirt.
"You must be Allen Walker, my name is Lenalee Lee the principals sister. I will be your guide for the day." She smiled warmly and I couldn't help but feel welcomed and safe.
"Thank you Miss. Lenalee." I nodded my head to her and she only giggled and I felt my face heat up ever so slightly.
"Pleas, just call me Lenalee. I really do hope you enjoy your stay here." She smiled before nodding her head to follow her. Inside the school was much more inviting than the outside and that showered a wave of relief within me. I wouldn't be reminded to the inside of my uncles home, the outside well…that was a different story in itself. Lenalee went on about the rules about the school and how everyone shares a room with two other students of the same gender. She said there was a possibility that all rooms were full and I'd be able to get my own for a time being, but deep down I knew that was highly unlikely. She escorted me through the entire school showing me shortcuts to certain places and showing me the extravagant cafeteria where you could order anything from the cook Jerry. Now that was something to look forward to. I wouldn't mind sharing a room with one or two other people after getting a smell of that wonderful smelling food. Our last destination ended up being at her brothers office. I thought it cool knowing that her brother was the principal, up until we walked in and she was suddenly gathered into his arms and he began wailing at how much he missed her.
'Well that's not awkward!' I thought watching the scene and just stood there to wait.
"BROther! You have a new student to get settled in! Hurry up with his schedule and text books so I can take him to his dorm room so he can settle in!" She snapped and I am shown who was the leader in their brother/sister relationship.
"Right, right…I apologize about that mister Walker. My name is Komui Lee." He said ushering me to follow him into an adjacent office.
"Um please could you just call me Allen, mister Walker sounds way too formal, especially with me being a student Mr. Lee." I said and only smiled at me, something told me that his smile was very dangerous.
"Very gentleman like, well now call me Komui please. I must warn you, if you wish to survive me you'll never date my sister." He said and I could only stare at him, yep he had a sister complex I had suspected. Reminded me of how Sheril was with Road.
"No need to fret Komui, I have no intentions of dating your sister, maybe become friends with her, but nothing more. You see I'm not interested in the female population." I smiled all too sweetly, if only my god father Cross were here, he'd be so proud, or he'd just throw me through a window and say he was only training me. The bastard!
"Wait…your gay?! That's great! Now to get that Lavi Bookman away from my lovely sister; speaking of Lavi you will be rooming with him and his roommate Yuu Kanda. You wouldn't be interested in helping me keep Lavi away from my sister?" He asked and I felt my eyes narrow at the man in annoyance.
"No thank you, I actually plan to keep to myself as much as possible. I would rather stay as invisible as much as I can." I said and I watch as his face went serious and his smile vanishes.
"So, you're one with a past. Listen Allen, use our resources to help you. Being along isn't living." He said and I had to catch myself from lashing out.
"In no disrespect sir but I will come to terms with my past when I need to, at the moment I will just keep them to myself." I couldn't stand nosey people and he was definitely rubbing onto me to be that way. Or that he was some secret mad scientist who studies on his students…nah!
"My apologies I over stepped my boundaries. I have to remind myself that not everyone wants help. Here is your schedule and dorm room key, warning don't call Kanda by his first name Yuu, he'll kill you." Komui warned before I was ushered out of the office and left into the care of Lenalee once more.
"It's a good thing you came on our Friday holiday, you have three days to get to know your roommates and get used to the layout of the school." She smiled as we headed down the hallway.
"Yea hopefully, and hopefully relax, I haven't had a real day of relaxation in over a year." I muttered.
"Why haven't you had a relaxing day in that long?" She asked and I only stayed quiet starring at my feet, I chose it wise not to answer her. "I'm sorry if I pried." She whispered, she sounded sad and hurt and I felt like kicking myself.
"No, you didn't do anything. I apologize. I have a lot of dark skeletons and at this moment I'd rather forget them instead of talk about them." I smiled and she smiled back.
"That's understandable, but you know talking does help. If you ever need to my dorm is down the hall from yours in room 99. Come and talk if you ever feel like it, even if it's over nothing. Lavi is a bit nosey and Kanda can be an asshole so they're both horrible at serious talks, but me I've had a rough past myself so I'm a good ear listener if you need it." She offered and I felt my smile getting bigger.
"Yea, okay you can count on it. Same with you, I'm a good listener to if you ever need it even though we just met." I offered and she squealed in delight.
"YAY! I now have two gay best friends!" She cheered happily and I could only laugh nervously, this school was sure to be interesting. Reaching the room I was so happy that my room number was 77, it would be horrible to have a different number. Lenalee reached up and knocked quickly on the door.
"Open up you lazy bums! You two have a new roommate!" Lenalee said happily and the door instantly swung open and the girl was swept up into a pair of arms.
"My lovely Lenalee you have returned to me!" The boy cheered, he had red hair and green eyes, one of his eyes was covered with an eye patch and he wore bright green bandanna scarf around his head. He seemed normal enough. That is until he looked at me and I swear you would see stars in them and suddenly his face was inches from mine and I couldn't help but let out an eep.
"Yup I knew it this one is gay!" He cheered stepping back and letting out a laugh only to be punched in the back of the head causing him to fall face first onto the floor. Looking up I barely stop the gasp that wanted to leave my mouth at the handsome person standing in front of me; the boy in front of me had long bluish black hair and dark eyes.
"Baka Usagi what is with you and trying to find out the sexuality of EVERY new person even if you're right the majority of the time?!" The boy hissed stomping the back of his foot into the back of the red haired boys head. Yea I was defiantly going to be having interesting roommates and I was going to need to be careful with that.
"Beherse erm urious!" Lavi muffled and I stifled a laugh at hearing him, as did Lenalee.
"Is he right? Are you gay?" The boy then asked looking up at me, if looks could kill I'd be dead right now, but once you truly stare at them you notice that they are nice sincere eyes and not scary, just his ever prominent frown.
"Yes, I'm gay." I flat lined answered and the boy smirked dangerously before looking down to Lavi lifting his foot from his head.
"Looks like you're the only straight man in a room with two gay men baka!" The boy said before he stepped over Lavi and stood directly in front of me and held his hand out.
"I'm Yuu Kanda, but please just call me Kanda or you'll end up like the baka usagi and be impaled by Mugen." He said and I could only chuckle a bit before taking his hand.
"Allen Walker and that's totally cool with me." I said and I had this feeling Kanda and I could become friends if I could learn how to trust people once again. Kanda led me into the dorm room and slammed the door shut, I guess in a way stating for Lenalee to handle Lavi.
"Your bed will be the one under the wind the dressers for your clothes and everything is built into the actual bed frame. The bathroom and shower is through that door don't be afraid to use it at anytime. I know what it feels like to need a cleansing shower in the middle of the night the hot water never runs out. A heads up Lavi on the weekends will sometimes sneak out and bring back liquor so he gets drunk and he's a dumbass when he is." Kanda explained and I only nodded my head to each thing he was explaining to me.
"Thanks, to be honest I was afraid I was going to get hard to live with roommates, so I'm happy you two are friendly." I said and Kanda smiled before plopping down onto his bed.
"I'm friendly to those who don't act like the baka usagi, I can tell that you're different. But what I can't tell is what your eyes are hiding. You wear a smile but your eyes speak otherwise, why is that." He asked, I was kneeling on the floor beginning to put my things away. I wandered what I should say.
"I've just had a lot of things happen to me in the past. None are worth talking about." I answered as normally as I could. How is it now three people have asked me about my past.
"I understand, just so you know Lavi is very nosy he has to know everything and anything about everyone and he remembers it all that's the scary part." Kanda laughed a bit and had to sit and think on if coming to this school was such a great idea.
"Oh my god!" Both Kanda and I jump and look to the door when Lenalee squealed as her and Lavi came back. She was looking at her high tech phone they call smart phones. I was okay with my gold flip phone.
"Damn it Lenalee are you going to go on about those Teen Idles the Noah Family?!" Kanda growled and I found myself frozen once more. So there were fans all the way out here.
"Yeah! I'm on the newsletter, I send emails back and forth between that Road girl. I know she actually doesn't answer them but still!" Lenalee said and oh how I wish I could tell her that yes Road spends her nights doing homework and answering those damned emails. But what could have been sent out this time I wander.
"I just got a forward from Road stating for everyone to keep a look out for their cousin Teen Idle Allen Noah! He's the one with the silver gray eyes and rusty red hair! She said he had been admitted to the hospital a year ago and went missing. They are now at stand still and have no more leads and are asking their fans for help!" Lenalee said and all I wanted to do was bash my head against the wall. So they hadn't given up on their search for me. Peachy, just fucking peachy!
"Lenalee have you ever considered that you may be a tad bit too obsessed with these people what do they do any ways?!" Kanda asked and I began finishing with putting my things away.
"Well I know Road, Tyki and the Jasdevi Twins were models. Road did extras like dancing for multiple singing groups. Tyki is also a mast poker player, but could never beat Allen. The others are I know are mix of models and singers. Minus Wisely he is a renown psychic who helps police find missing people. Their caretaker Adam Noah who has adopted all these kids is a really rich business man for Noah Corporation and donates a lot of his earning to charity. Allen Noah is the only one related to the man with being his nephew after his son Neah went missing 10 years ago." Lenalee began explaining holding a finger up in the. If she knows anything about me then this girl was the one Road always went on about with being our number one fan.
"So what about the Allen kid? Of hey this is cool our roommate is named Allen!" Lavi laughed and I noticed Kanda and I had both rolled our eyes at him.
"Well he's a singer and solo pianist and is probably one of the best in the entire world! Not only that he tops Tyki with the title of poker master, but never takes the title always gives it to his cousin. He also used to work part time in some carnivals and circus's as an acrobat. He's won quite a few martial arts competitions. And he also modeled quite a lot! But this was when he still lived with his parents Mana and Caroline Noah. After they died, he went off grid and was never really seen leaving the Noah Estate unless is was for school. And then a year ago all information just stopped about him and this news from Road explains why!" Lenalee squealed even more and I stopped the sigh that wanted to leave my lips, yep this girl was the number one fan Road was speaking about.
"So what're you going to do? Go in search of that Allen Noah kid?" Kanda asked and suddenly Lenalee's smile became very devilish and I eep'ed once more.
"Of course I am why wouldn't I?! There's a huge reward of 12million pounds. We could use that money for the school and to help students who can't afford our tuition get into the school!" She said happily and I was glad she was thinking about others and not herself...
'Wait...TWELVE MILLION POUNDS?! What am I made of Gold?!' I thought to myself and had to remind myself to breath in and out as I sat on the bed and starred out the window. I suddenly needed to get away and call Aunt Lulu Bell, but that would have to wait until around dinner time. But then again I don't have the time.
"Um, sorry to interrupt...is there anywhere for me to go to make a phone call?" I suddenly asked and Lenalee's smile went back to normal.
"Yes of course, go down the hall and a set of stairs will lead you up to the roof, that's the best spot." She explained and I nodded my head in thanks and got up to slip by them.
"You said this Wisely guy is a renowned psychic why can't he find Allen?!" I heard Kanda asked and I knew he was iffy on us.
"Well in an interview before back when Allen was kidnapped and held for ransom, he tried but there is something about Allen that keeps his cousin out of his head." Lenalee asked and I stood out by the closed door trying to grasp on how much this girl knows about us. Soon after I jogged to the stairs and up to the rood and was so glad no one was there and instantly dialed a number.
"Hello Lulu Bell speaking, Noah Corporation." Thank god uncle Adam wasn't there at her desk this time.
"Lulu Bell could you possible explain to me WHY there is a 12 million pound reward over my head?!" I asked as quietly and calmly as I could.
"Your uncle is desperate because child services is hounding him to find you. If not all funds from Mana and Caroline will be cut from him and be sent to the credit cards in your name, at the moment the funds are frozen. He knows I know where you're at but for me not to divorce him he's not allowed to ask me. Why?" She asked and I let out a sigh.
"The Noah kids number one fan is now my new friend!" I said trying to stay calm and Lulu Bell giggling at this information was not helping.
"Just becareful sweet heart everything will be fine and you know it. Only one more year until you're 18 and all funds will be yours. I have to go now Allen, stay safe." She said and the line went dead. I sat at the bench that was on the roof and I sighed.
"Of all the places to come hide at and I had to choose our rival school Black Order Private Academy. What the FUCK was I thinking?!" I muttered to myself resting my elbows onto my legs and burried my face into my hands. I couldn't handle much more and I just wanted to disappeare!
Well there is chapter 1, seven pages and a shit load of words! YAY! Hope you all enjoyed it. Leave me a review on what you think. Have a good day everyone!
