Kanda was going to hurt the farm boy. The white-haired male was getting overly excited about every little thing.

"You act like you've never seen a village before." Kanda grabbed Allen by the collar and pulled him away from the current food vendor that they were passing.

"I haven't! And I never smelt food so good before!" Allen exclaimed with a bit of drool slipping past his lips. Kanda groaned, he should just leave this guy behind. But no, he would be useful in the days to come. So he just had to deal with it for a little while longer.

"So Kanda, you had said something about going to an inn for a night?" Allen let out a small sigh and wiped the drool away from his mouth. Taken back Kanda just stared for a few seconds. "Um Kanda?" Allen waved a hand in the samurai's face. Kanda let out a hiss and grabbed Allen's hand.

"Yes we are going to an inn, but I will leave you out in the dirt if you don't start acting like an uncivilized child." Kanda warned.

"Geez Jerkanda, if I piss you off so much why not leave me here and go get one of your other Black Order friends come get me." Allen huffed and pulled his hand away.

"First of all, I don't have any friends, and second, that's a risk I am not willing to take." Kanda replied and crossed his arms over his chest.

"Well you probably don't have any friends because you are an asshole." Allen huffed. Kanda released a growl that seemed way too animalistic.

"Shut up Moyashi. Now let's get to the inn." Suddenly frightened, Allen followed Kanda without another word.

The inn was quaint. There weren't very many guests so Kanda was able to get separate rooms for Allen and himself. Kanda had warned Allen to get to bed early seeing as they would leave early in the morning. Allen saw no problem with that seeing as he always got up at the crack of dawn to do his farm chores. And that was the last the pair saw or talked to one another for the night. One thing that Allen did not expect was to wake in the middle of the night from a haunting nightmare. Though upon waking he could not recall the nightmare that had frightened him so badly. Holding his burned hand to his chest Allen looked out the small window that his room had.

"I-I wonder if Kanda is awake." Allen had a strange feeling that he should go to the samurai; and without a second thought the white-haired farmhand was out of bed and walked to the neighboring door. Figuring that the door would be locked Allen readied a fist to knock. But he quickly realized that the door wasn't fully closed. Allen gasped and rushed into the room; something wasn't right! The door shouldn't be open!

"Moyashi?!" Allen stared right at Kanda; who was sitting criss-cross on the floor.

"The door was open and I thought…" The farmhand trailed off as he noticed something black move along the floor boards.

"Oi, that doesn't matter what are you doing in my room?" Kanda quickly stood.

"I had a nightmare and for some reason wanted to come over and check on you…" Allen muttered as he stared at the space right above Kanda's head. Was his hair sticking up funny? Was it from the hat he was wearing all day?

"Well get over it, it was just a nightmare. And go back to your room." Kanda huffed and actually started to push Allen out of the room. With a small bang of the door being shut Allen was left alone in the inn's hallway.

"He's right I need sleep…I thought I saw Kanda with cat ears and a tail." Allen grumbled as he padded back over to his room. Kanda was busy cursing himself out…

In the morning the pair was back to traveling. To Kanda's surprise Allen wasn't blabbering hundreds of questions like he was expecting.

"Was that nightmare really that bad?" Kanda scoffed as he looked back at the silent man.

"I don't know, I don't really remember it." Allen sighed and shook his head, "I just had a hard time getting sleep. I think I was seeing things last night I was so tired." Kanda let out a relieved sigh and started walking with some more pride in his steps.

"I know you told me a little about the Black Order, but could you tell me about the people there or something?" Allen questioned not too long after.

"You can't just stay quiet can you? But I guess I could tell you about some of the residents…" Kanda muttered. Allen smiled as he was all ears to hear what the samurai was going to say. Kanda talked about how large the order was and how it was a safe haven for humans and mythical creatures a like. As he talked Allen couldn't help but smile at the samurai. There was just something that seemed to make the samurai relax as he spoke of the order, even though he was speaking mostly ill of the other people. It seemed like in no time the pair was deep into the woods; fog spilling around them ominously.

"Woah, where'd all this fog come from?" Allen muttered as he noticed the fog.

"It's nothing. Normally this fog makes people who wander too close to the order to get confused and lost. But so long as you stay close to me there will be no problems." Kanda huffs out an explanation.

"I understand." Allen goes to grab the black belt around Kanda's waist but a hand quickly slaps it away.

"What are you doing?" Kanda hisses. Allen shrinks back.

"You said to stay close so I thought grabbing your belt would be a good idea!" Allen yells; causing a few birds to fly out of the trees. Kanda's eyes dart towards the sound of the birds.

"Tsk, don't touch me, especially the hat and belt. Keep your dirty hands away Moyashi." Kanda then begins to stomp away.

"K-Kanda wait!" Allen yelps. But it was too late, Kanda disappeared into the fog. "Oh no." Allen scans the area, the fog seeming to grow thicker. Leaning back against a tree Allen took deep breaths to calm himself. Kanda practically said this was magic fog, so then if he focused his magic then maybe he could dispel the fog temporarily. Thinking hard on what he wanted to achieve Allen did his best to channel that thought into a magic spell. With a spark of light Allen created a path of light.

"Is it showing me where to go?" Allen asked out loud. With no other real option Allen followed his light trail. However, the longer Allen walked, the dimmer the light trail grew.

"You're not going anywhere wizard." Suddenly a figure appeared at the end of the trail.

"Who are you?" Allen gulped; he was in no place to fight.

"Why should it matter? You'll be dead soon." The figure sighed and started to walk closer. Allen grew wide eyed as he realized it was a cat-person. He had flaming red hair with matching fuzzy cat ears atop his head and a swishing tail. There was also an eyepatch on his face. Suddenly a name came to Allen's head, Lavi. Kanda mentioned this guy…

"Wait! Lavi don't hurt me please!" Allen yelped. Lavi's menacing glare flew.

"How do you know my name?" Lavi's tail fluffed up; in which Allen did his best not to laugh at the action.

"Kanda told me about you! And he told me about the order too! He was taking me there when we got separated in this fog. I mean it! He just wanted me to get to the Black Order so that I can better understand my magic and get my burns tended to." Allen quickly explained. Lavi seemed to let a bit of his guard down.

"If you want me to believe that, hand over your wand." Lavi held out one of his hands; where Allen took notice that the cat had his claws out.

"Wand? I don't have a wand." Allen squeaked.

"Lair! There's no way that you could produce such strong magic without a wand!" Lavi hissed.

"I'm not lying! Please you have to believe me!" Allen yelped as Lavi pounced on him; the redhead sinking his claws into Allen's arms. Allen turned his head to the side, awaiting Lavi's next attack. But the attack never came. instead Lavi was staring at Allen's face. Allen gasped; his face! He always kept his hair in his face because Cosmo always said that the left side of his face was disgusting to look at and never wanted to see it. The farmhand could only imagine the words swimming in Lavi's head. A hand carefully poked at Allen's left cheek.

"A magic curse?" Lavi muttered, "No wand and a curse. Just what kind of wizard are you?"

"Usagi get off of him!" Suddenly Lavi is pushed off of Allen and the farmhand is brought close to a man's chest.

"Yu!" Lavi squeaked as he got back to his feet. Allen looked back to see that Kanda had come to his rescue.

"I thought I warned the order that I had a white-haired male accompanying me." Kanda growled as he slowly let Allen free from his grasp.

"Well he wasn't exactly with you." Lavi muttered.

"I'm going to chop your tail off." Kanda pulled out his blade.

"Stop!" Both Allen and Lavi shouted. Kanda huffed and rolled his eyes as he put the katana back in its sheath.

"Come on Moyashi." Kanda grabbed Allen's hand and started pulling him along.

"Hold up!" Lavi was quick to follow behind. Soon enough there was a clearing, no woods, no fog, just a giant black tower.

"Well little Moyashi this is the Black Order. Sorry for attacking you earlier." Lavi exclaimed as he skipped ahead and turned back with a smile.

"The name is Allen!" Is all the farmhand stated in return. Lavi just laughed and Kanda shook his head. Nonetheless, Kanda brought Allen over to the gate that acted as a front door for the tower. The younger male couldn't help but squeeze the samurai's hand as the gate slowly opened.
