Last Chapter
She quietly whispered in my ear, "I'm sorry I couldn't see you grow up this far. I promise I will be here to see you finish growing up though." I felt her tighten her hug as she cried, "I only wish I could remember…" I snuggled into her shoulder finally meeting my mother and finding out she did care…
A/N
Three reviews within a day of me putting it up. Thank you! It makes me know this is enjoyed. To answer the question I have received more than once about Allen I will explain that this chapter. I may make this a crossover with Fullmetal alchemist like Purpose. Komui did not bring back the second exorcist project please review your guesses, if you log in I will PM you back and tell you if you were right or wrong. I should warn you this chapter, I am not one for much of a happily ever after so it is almost guaranteed that someone will die in my stories. That being said enjoy.
Reena's POV
I let go of my little girl slowly, my mind blank other than feeling like my soul had watched from nearby to see her grow up. I meant what I said, I would be a part of her life from this point on, I wouldn't let her grow up without a mother in the critical years.
Flashback
I floated above watching as Lea tackled Allen to the ground while they were playing tag with Lenalee and Lavi. He gently sat up rubbing his head as everyone else laughed. I had been watching since the day I died, since Allen had come to the order he had been able to see and talk to me, he had tried to make me pass on but I couldn't. Allen knew I had to watch my little girl, his eye didn't activate because of me but he was still able to see me. A while ago I had led him to the small locket that held pictures of me and her father on our wedding day, I knew her father hadn't spoken to her since I died. I also knew it contained innocence that was compatible with her. It was a small flute that the song of would shatter the akuma and free the souls within seconds. It would transform when akuma were near which until that day had not happened.
That day was the day Allen walker left the order for the last time to face a level five akuma on his own. She hid nearby but saw the whole thing, the akuma created a blade of dark matter that sliced through Allen like butter. He fell to the ground dead as the akuma approached her, I stood behind watching the innocence, I couldn't intervene, my restraints prevented it. Her flute formed in her outstretched hands as fear took over. Wings formed from her back and she lifted the flute and played a quick harmony, each note signifying the death of an akuma. The level five only lasted a matter of seconds before crumbling to dust. The wings disappeared and she ran to Allen's now lifeless form crying for him not to die.
I had watched from the sidelines as Allen died and my daughter awoke as an exorcist.
End of flashback
In the courtyard was a large graveyard containing the graves of all exorcists that have died to date, in the back the newest graves stood, I walked to the newest one and saw a small carving in the side. I brushed away the dust and dirt and saw a carving of a golden golem, the same golem that belonged to general Cross Marian, Timcampy. The carving moved in front of my eyes and I saw it move beside the name, Allen Walker, also known as Nea walker and Allen Hughes. I had met him on the other side just once, he had been a small child who was Maes Hughes baby brother. His parents had taken him to the hospital due to his arm and he had gone missing, no-one knew what had happened, no-one but me. He had been brought to this world, like I had been brought back to Amestris. No-one knew his family, or that he was from another world, not even himself.
I cried quietly beside the grave at the faces that were beginning to reappear in my memories, I knew I had watched over them before being brought back, how I knew them on the other hand was still unknown. I knew a lot of those in my memories had died and only two were still alive, Lea and a man whose face I could not for the life of me remember.
I looked to the sky as my eye activated and saw hordes of akuma including a level five heading towards the order. I activated my innocence and ran inside and unknowingly right by the man from my dreams.
Kanda's POV
I was about to speak when she blew by me faster than the wind, her eye and innocence activated. I followed and watched as she stopped in Komui's office and half consciously back to the pool where in the side of the wall a sword of innocence laid. She picked it up and ran back outside, our daughter right behind her, flute and wings activated. I watched from behind as the two of them ran to the courtyard. Lea lifted the flute to her lips and play a beautiful tune, each note signifying the death of another akuma. The other exorcists of the order came to assist her just as my innocence activated and I sliced through several akuma. After the fight I heard someone collapse.
I turned around and saw Reena unconscious on the ground, Lea beside her trying to get her to wake up. Her eyes fluttered open and I could tell she was exhausted, it had only been a day since she reawakened and she hadn't even laid down for an hour to gain strength. I gently picked her up and carried her to the infirmary, Lea close behind with some curiosity in her eyes.
We entered the infirmary and I laid her down on a bed and turned around, "Why'd you do that?" Lea asked suspicious.
"Is it wring for me to help another person?" I retorted. I did not want her to find out who her father was. Since Reena had passed on I had become cold a reclusive. Only those who were in the order around the same time we were knew about her, and the fact that Lea was my daughter.
"You never help others, what was it Allen said you had told him when he first entered the order, 'slow me down and I leave you behind, it doesn't matter if your life's in danger.' So why?"
I sighed and shook my head, "None of your damn business pipsqueak." I responded even though depending on your point of view it could very well be as much her business as it was Reena's and mine.
Lea's POV
I stood there as a sudden realization filled my mind, Kanda, who never helps anyone had not only carried her inside but had been very careful with her, not only that but the description that Komui had given me earlier that very day fit. I backed away as the sudden realization filled my mind. I turned and ran leaving a confused Kanda behind.
There was no way it could be, I mean I am nothing like him. He doesn't seem to care about anything. I stopped outside Komui's door without realizing it and knocked before opening it carefully. Komui was asleep at his desk when I walked in. Reever walked by, promptly waking up Komui. He shot up quickly, I knew what Reever had said, ever since Lenalee and Lavi had gotten married, he had become over protective of me. He saw me standing there with tears in my eyes, when he noticed I ran forward and flung my arms around Komui crying, "Please… please tell me my father isn't Kanda…" He hugged me and rubbed my back not saying anything for several moments.
"I'm sorry Lea… I can't" He whispered he confirmed what I desperately wanted to be wrong about, indeed I had no idea what he was like when he met my mother but still what he had become was the one I was afraid of. He was an asshole to everyone, but I was supposed to be his daughter. That fact alone alarmed me, but somehow I realized I had always felt somewhat safe around him, like I knew unlike most other people he wouldn't leave me behind, even if it put his life at risk. I pushed myself out of Komui's hug.
"I guess I should probably go talk to him huh?" I asked, Komui nodded and I left feeling both thankful and a little angry that no-one had bothered to tell me my parentage, my mother was forgiven, hell she couldn't even remember…
