Allen felt numbness all over his body, the pain in his chest ever present, unlike most pains where the pain throbbed…this was constant. The pain was not physical; it was more like a part of his soul had been torn away
'Useless little boy' A voice snarled, 'What good is he? So he killed a few Akuma, he wont make a difference.'
Allen looked around for the voice, but all he saw was white.
'Yes,' Said another voice, I bet his friends wont cry once he finally does die.'
Allen curled up on the ground, crying. He felt dead on the inside. The voices were right; he was useless, he didn't matter, he should die.
Suddenly, an extra wave of pain washed over him. Allen screamed, holding his head in his hands, and stood up; this was it.
'Bean sprout?'
Suddenly, color returned to the world. Allen saw he was standing in a narrow hallway, leaning against the wall. Kanda was looking at him curiously.
'What the hell are you screaming for? Didn't you just get back from a mission?'
Allen didn't answer as suddenly, Kanda blurred and Allen felt gravity increase. Then, the pain disappeared and he was standing a few feet away from where he was a few moments ago.
'What the…How did I..?'
He heard Kanda swear and looked at the Samurai. Kanda was on his knees, looming above someone who looked like Allen on the ground. Kanda turned the person on his back and listened for a heartbeat.
'Shit, his heart has stopped.'
The samurai unbuttoned the Allen on the floors jacket and started to pump his hands against his chest in a rhythmic motion. The Allen who was standing up blinked confusedly, and held up his hand in front of his face. He was transparent.
'Guessed it yet?'
Allen jumped in surprise and turned around to see a young boy with purple markings under his eyes holding a soccer ball in his hands. He was grinning.
'Uh, who are you?'
'I'm Daisyia Barry.'
'Wow, you're a really young exorcist,' Allen smiled, walking closer to him.
'Actually, I'm about ten years older then you, I just like my child form.'
Allen paused, confused.
'Uh, what?'
Daisyia laughed and patted Allen on the back.
'Poor kid, haven't figured it out? You and I are dead! We're ghosts! That over there is your body.'
Allen looked back at Kanda with the floor Allen. He was still trying to get his heart going. Allen wished he would stop. Daisyia sighed and walked up to Kanda.
'Hm, yup, you're dead alright, but why'd you die? I can't find anything wrong.'
'I was in a fight with this Akuma,' Allen said, following the boy to get a closer look, 'and got this weird pain in my chest-'
Daisyia suddenly looked up at him, alarmed.
'Oh god, not another one!'
Allen sweat dropped.
'Um, another one…?'
'You went against that level three!' Daisyia said, grabbing Allen's collar, 'You're the third exorcist I've met in here that's thrown their life away! Look, that Akuma took away part of your soul.'
Allen blinked in surprise.
'Uh…my soul?'
'Yes, and it's the part that gives you the will to live. Your body died because it just lost the need to keep going. If you come with me, we can get your soul back, you can get into your body, we all go home happy.'
Allen pushed the boy's hands away and shook his head.
'Don't bother; I don't need to go back.'
'Yes, of course you do you idiot!'
'No I don't! Even if I do go back, I won't make a difference! No matter how many Akuma I kill, it will never be enough!'
'Oh yeah?' Daisyia said sarcastically, 'Well I beg to differ...What about you're friends then?'
'They don't need me.'
Suddenly, there was a cry of shock from behind them. They turned to see Lavi joining Kanda on the floor, Kanda still trying to get his heart going.
'I dunno,' Daisyia raised his eyebrow, 'looks like they do need you.'
Allen was silent. He felt heavy on the inside. He didn't want to go on. Daisyia sighed sadly and raised his hand, and Kanda and Lavi appeared to freeze. Allen looked inquisitively at the other ghost.
'I'm slowing down time, or rather, we are speeding up.'
'Speeding…up?'
'Is there an echo in here? Yeah, when you're a ghost you can do stuff like this, it's pretty cool but I miss my life like hell. That's why I choose to hang around here. I sometimes go to heaven, but for the majority I like this place better. Anyway, I'm going to show you why you need to go back. Come with me.'
The boy started walking down the corridor where a weird kind of light was shining. Allen paused, then with a final glance at his two frozen friends trying to resuscitate him, followed Daisyia.

Hm, I wonder what he will be shown. And yes, it really is Daisyia. I like him, so I brought him back. If you tell me you don't miss him, well, you're just mean. Review please.
