-----------------
Vague pictures, sounds and feelings…these were all that he could remember from his past life. The faces were blurred and the names partially lost or lost in their entirety. Encounters with some of those reincarnated from that life so long ago had left him wary of all those from his past. Not everyone has a bonded but those that do cannot live without them, well the light side can't. Those with souls of pure light suffer until they are united with their other half……or until they die…..
Today his private school Beratia's was sending its art class on a field trip to another private school, Dark Order Academy, to study the architecture and its differences between the two schools. Allen shivered, it wasn't that it was particularly cold today, only that his very soul felt frozen. Truly he did not have much time left, if Allen didn't find his bonded soon he would die.
He stood apart from the others having never really fit in at any school he'd been to and no longer trying to force it.
"….this structure here, how is it different from our schools!" Professor Roelin asked pointing to the fountain in the center of the courtyard.
As the question was answered by teacher's pet, Lidia Volbeum, Allen looked around taking in the sights of the archaic school.
"Mr. Walker! You'll be transferring here soon wont you?"
Head turning so that he faced the man Allen answered, "That is correct Professor Roelin."
"Why is that? Think they're better than us huh?"
It was a well known fact that Dark Order Academy scored higher than Beratia's in everything. It wasn't that reason that had him transferring though, nor was it entirely the reason he gave, "No sir it's just that it's closer to home and my guardian would like me to go there. I will miss all of you terribly when I go." This was met with glares and eye rolls.
"Is that so….Hmmph, moving on! Now what about those trees over there…"
Allen sighed, was he never going to be accepted. Blinking as he heard someone calling out Allen turned his head only to see the art teacher for this school, Froi Tiedoll approaching. They were supposed to meet up with his art class when they got here but Professor Roelin insisted they just go ahead on their own. Turning Allen began to observe the clouds as he hummed a soft tune. A light breeze twirled around him, causing Allen to shiver and leaves to dance about him, as Professor Tiedoll greeted Professor Roelin.
"My, my I was getting worried you'd gotten lost when we didn't find you at the gate! But I'm glad all of you are okay. Have you enjoyed the sights here?" the man was nice Allen decided as he chirped out the question at the end of his little rant.
While Professor Roelin grumbled some rude answer or other Allen's attention was caught by the feeling of being watched. It appeared that some of the students in Professor Tidol's class found him very interesting. A sharp pain in his left shoulder brought him back from his musings.
"Hey freak stop it with that damned annoying humming!!!" the boy who'd thrown the rock growled out.
"Ah! My apologies, if I had realized that it was bugging you I would have stopped sooner!"
"Who the hell cares just shut the fuck up!"
"Oh my! Professor Roelin that boy should be punished!!" exclaimed a worried Professor Tiedoll.
"Hmmph boys will be boys. Just leave them be it'll toughen the brat up!"
Shooting a reproachful look at the other, Professor Tiedoll came over to him, "Are you alright my boy?"
"Yes Professor Tiedoll, I am perfectly fine, no need to be worried!" was the polite reply Allen gave. Though Tiedoll looked dubiously at him Allen merely gave him a reassuring smile and the man dropped it, for the moment at least.
Professor Tiedoll had apparently decided to stay near him for the moment as he made no move to leave Allen and go back to his students. The students merely came over to them whispering about the altercation and how the "strange but interesting albino kid" had been treated by his classmates and even the teacher. As the tour continued Allen somehow managed to make his way, unnoticed by the group in Professor Tiedoll's class, to the very back of the group. This turned out to be a bad move on his part because it made it all too easy for him to be forcibly separated from the group.
His kidnapers turned out to be the boy who had thrown the rock, Shuji Watanabi 3rd year, and his minions as Allen mentally referred to them as. James Lindrin the 4th also a 3rd year, Martin Palxine 2nd year and 1st year Hitoshi Namura. All of them aside from Hitoshi Namura had confident smirks on their faces. Allen knew they were upset about how their leader had nearly gotten in trouble. He didn't fight back as they pulled him into the dark shadows of one of the buildings, not even when they closed in on him fists raised and holding buckets.
-----------------
As they had come around the corner following Tiedoll the small group of once exorcists had spotted the lone figure with snow white hair just standing there looking at the clouds and humming a light tune. It had to be him he was the only one with hair that natural pure white. As they had gotten nearer they'd noticed that some of the students in the other group were glaring at the slender figure, who was shivering even in the reasonably warm fall air.
When Tiedoll reached their professor the man gave a rude reply to his question. They were still watching the boy, who they were sure was Allen. Then suddenly a rock came flying from the group of students from the other school, hitting Allen in the left shoulder and causing him to wince.
It took Lavi, Marie, Daisya, Suman and Lenalee all to hold Kanda back as he struggled to unleash Mugen on the boy who'd thrown the rock while both Krory and Miranda watched with growing worry. Luckily they managed to calm him down though none of them had expected such a strong response from him. Although he had been more open about his caring for his friends lately and even before they had died in their past lives, he had never reacted so strongly to one of them being injured in such a small way.
Once assured that Allen was alright Tiedoll stayed near him to keep an eye on him and make sure nothing else happened. Following their teachers lead the Dark Order Academy art students moved to stand behind the boy and their teacher. After everything was settled the group moved out continuing the tour of the school.
It was only once Professor Roelin made to ask him a question that anyone noticed that Allen was no longer with the group.
"Mr. Walker can you…..MR. WALKER!!!!....where did that stupid boy get to now?"
"He's not the only one missing Professor Roelin! Shuji Watanabi, James Lindrin, Martin Palxine and Hitoshi Namura are all missing too!" exclaimed Lidia helpfully.
"*sigh* someone go find those boys please…."
"No need professor here they come…well all of them except Walker that is." Takeshi Yamamoto stated in a bored manner.
"Excellent shall we continue then! Walker can catch up later, and pick up his detention slip!" Professor Roelin sang merrily.
"But we can't just leave Mr. Walker behind!" Tiedoll began to panic.
"Nonsense we ca-" Professor Roelin began.
"Ummn Professor Tiedoll is there a bathroom near here that I can use to wash off?" a soft voice asked from behind the Tiedoll's group.
Everyone turned around to see Allen covered in red paint and looking as if he'd been mugged. His button up shirt and sweater were ripped open at the top and his once grey skinny jeans were torn on the right knee. Snowy hair now crimson like blood was tussled and matted with paint. Even so he was smiling apologetically as though his was all his fault.
"Sorry to trouble you but I got lost and accidentally fell into a supply closet and got paint all over me!" he had his left hand behind his head running his fingers through his hair as he said this.

So………what do you think?
