Disclaimer: Chapter two. Nothing really bad still. Sorry again. Also, I don't own D. Gray- Man. Hoshino-sensei does. So, this is pure fun to screw with the characters minds stuff. Yaoi in later chapters, and hints now. Don't like, then go the fuck away.
Allen scrambled out of bed at five in the morning, and showered quickly for his first day at work. He had gotten the job immediately and had spent all of yesterday training for it.
He was officially the aquarium's new… Dolphin tank cleaner. He wasn't proud, but, it was a start, so he could get to know all of the animals. Today it was dolphins, tomorrow it would be walruses.
He was quick to work, and quick to change into a swimsuit for cleaning. After spending three hours cleaning the tank, twice, he changed into normal clothes, and washed his hands several times. Then, he towel dried his hair, and ran for the same restaurant he'd been at yesterday.
After a short three-mile jog, Allen came upon it, and entered, smiling when he spotted Kanda over a bowl of soba with a sketchbook before him. The raven-haired man looked very confused.
Allen sat across from Kanda and smiled. "Hello, Kanda-san. Nice to see you again."
Kanda looked up and tilted his head, his eyes portraying a little bit of confusion, and a lot of shock. "You're Allen. What the hell? Who are you?"
Allen was shocked. Was this what happened to people Kanda forgot? He cussed them out?
"Kanda-san, yes, I am Allen. But, I met you yesterday. You have two brothers, and you draw to remember people." he explained.
Kanda just growled and backed away from Allen, out of the booth, and picked up his shoulder bag. He walked towards the door, and Allen followed. "Please, Kanda, believe me."
"You are in my sketchbook for no reason!" he shouted, whipping around.
Allen was confused, then he remembered. Kanda had also had a reason beside Lavi's drawing. But, Allen didn't know if Kanda had written a reason for him. Apparently not.
"I… We met yesterday, and we talked for almost two hours. I was almost late for my interview." he explained.
Kanda shook his head and turned, only to dart from the restaurant. "No!" he shouted, running to a sleek, black sports car, obviously very expensive.
Allen followed, and saw why Kanda was freaking out. A police officer was writing him a ticket. The silverette followed quickly, along with Lenalee.
Kanda reached the officer just as he was walking away. "Hey, what the hell? Why are you writing me a ticket?" he shouted, ripping the ticket from his wiper.
The officer sighed. "Your tag expired nearly seven months ago."
Allen looked at the tag, and sure enough, it said December 2011. He paled. So did Lenalee.
"Officer, please, can I speak with you?" Allen and Lenalee asked together.
Kanda stopped the cop from answering. "I'm not paying this, my tag expires in six months! It's June sixth not…" he checked the ticket. "July seventeenth." He paled some.
The ravenette was quick to run to the nearest newspaper stand, right down the street and start checking through the newspapers. All of them read the same date he'd said.
Allen came up behind him. "Kanda-san?" he asked.
Kanda threw the papers at Allen, and ran to his car. Allen was quick to apologize to the stand owner, and followed, tapping on the window. Kanda unlocked the door, and Allen climbed in. "I'm sorry. I have to come with you." Allen said, looking serious.
Kanda looked about in tears, and drove quickly to his house in the back part of Japan.

Tiedoll saw Kanda's car coming up their drive. "Uh-oh. Bad day! Marie, Daisya! Be prepared!" he shouted, running for the front door. A youth a little older than Kanda came out behind Tiedoll carrying a soccer ball, then came a man in his late twenties, with headphones.
Tiedoll was beside the car as it parked, and two figures stepped out. Kanda was the first to attack Tiedoll verbally. "What the hell?" he shouted.
Tiedoll shushed Kanda, and the teen feel quiet. "I'm sorry Kanda. But, there's something you need to understand." he stated.
Kanda looked surprised and shocked. "What is it?" he asked quietly, a little scared.
Tiedoll was quick to take Kanda's hand and lead him around. First came the stash of newspapers, all with the date June sixth, and he quickly told him everything he did, from filling Kanda's shampoo bottle, to washing his clothes that he wore everyday.
Then, came the worst part. Tiedoll pulled out what looked to Allen like a scrapbook, except it was a scrapbook with horrible mementos.
First, a clipping from a newspaper the day after the crash, showing Kanda's car, which had hit a tree. The headline read, "Car hits tree after swerving to avoid child."
Tiedoll flipped the page since Kanda was too stunned to. The next page showed Kanda, bloodied, bandaged, and obviously still unconscious. Cuts ran along his face and neck, there was a bandage around his head, and several bruises, mainly around his eyes and forehead.
Kanda's hand went up and felt the back of his head, where he ran his fingers along, and could feel the line where the scar rested. His eyes closed and he shook his head. But, what truly broke him? He had taught a music class. He himself played flute.
There was a card, drawn by his most artistic student, of him playing his flute. All of his students had signed the card. This broke him. He knocked the book from Tiedoll's hand and ran, not knowing where he was going; only knowing he was running.
Allen was about to follow, when Marie and Daisya stopped him. "This happens all the time, dude. Just let him cool off." Daisya had said, and Marie nodded.
"He just needs time, if you'll allow him. In the meantime, will you tell us who you are, and why you were with Yu-kun?" Tiedoll asked, sitting and offering Allen the seat across from him outside. They would wait for Kanda, no matter how long it took.
"My name is Allen Walker; I met Kanda-san in this little restaurant, and we talked. I got to know him better, how you taught him to draw, and he learned a lot about me. But, today, he forgot me, and then a police officer gave him a ticket, he flipped out, and came here." Allen explained.
Tiedoll nodded. "This happens often, Allen-kun. But, usually he's calmer. I hope this didn't mess him up too bad." he said, concerned.
Allen looked outside, where Kanda had walked back into the yard, and was kneeling in the middle, clutching his head.
'Poor Kanda-san. I want to make him feel better.'
Kanda came in after a few minutes, and looked at Tiedoll. "I have to see this doctor. I have to hear it from his damn mouth." he stated.
Tiedoll sighed and stood. "You have. Several times, in fact."
Allen stood. "Actually, I can take him. I kind of want to hear it, too." he stated.
Tiedoll sighed. "We'll all go, then."
Yeah, end of chapter two. Hope you enjoy, and I'm not going to beg for any reviews, but some are nice. I already got two. But, one was from my creepy stalker friend, AllenxEdward. Hope you like chapter two! All of you. And, if it's not too much trouble, drop a review. I love hearing your words. Until next time!
