DGray-Man: Recreant

"He was just unfortunate enough to feel an eternity of luck defying moments. But the bonds sharing saddened lives is the greatest form of solution to loneliness. That is why he became a recreant to love."

Chapter 2:

Struck by Tears

After the incident with Chaoji it didn't take long before he was able to move again. He was surprised that after realizing, it didn't hurt much as loud as he shouted in pain before. Allen stood beside one of the gates opened by him from the arc. Waiting for the go for his next mission. He was huffing, he looked pale and again the dark bags were back. When he saw Cross walking calmly towards him, carrying his brief case he slowly smiled and ran out to his master.

"Master...!" Allen suddenly fell to the ground as he passed out. "Hey you!" Cross ran to his apprentice who seemed lifeless.

"He's gone back to the same state as before?" Alma worriedly asked Komui who was pondering on how to solve this.

"It seems so, no one knows if it'll be long this time.. Hopefully it isn't, though." He tried to smile when he saw Alma getting worried the most.

"Why don't you go with Kanda to the cafe and-"

"No!" Startled a little, Alma quickly apologized for the rudeness. "I-I'm sorry... I just feel indept to him." Komui understood him so he didn't question it at all.

"Alma." It was Kanda calling for his dear Alma.

"Ah! Yuu..." He was quite unsettled to leave now but Kanda's presence meant leaving.

"Hey Kanda, would you visit Allen later tonight?" Komui trying his best to ask kindly.

"Why should I?" He coldly swept him away.

"Treat it like an order, please?" Kanda could feel Alma tug his top.

"Fine."

While walking away, Komui gave a smile at Alma as thanks for 'persuading' Kanda to do this for him.

"I never loved you, Allen."

"You were a mistake."

"Why did I pick you up?"

"I lived in misery!"

"Leave me alone!"

"Allen! Stop! Just leave me be!"

"Allen! Give me my peace!"

"STOP THIS!"

Allen woke up early in the morning the day after. Looking frantically as if he was looking for someone. He held onto his chest grasping that he was awake and alive. He touched his head lightly feeling his long locks as a reminder of the current day. He's been scared that one day he might not differentiate reality from a dream. He wanted someone to talk to, he wanted his Master to be there.

So Allen quickly stood up from his bed, steadying his feet. Ran to the door and looked for signs of his master. What he didn't notice was Kanda sitting in front of his door on a bench.

"Hey you're awake" He said casually. Allen suddenly remembers the harsh words Kanda threatened him with.

"I'm sorry!" He left without a care on where he was actually going.

"Hey! Stop would you!" He was freaked out when he looked back Kanda was chasing him. Almost immediately he stopped his tracks and looked behind hesitantly.

"Ah.. what is it?" Not creating eye contact at all.

"Don't move, you're probably not that stable yet."

'What is this? Kanda worrying about me?' He didn't quite believe this and denied it internally.

"No.. I'm looking for Master.." He said still looking away, refusing to make eye contact.

"I don't care, Alma will start worrying again if this continues. Will you just stop with the slumbers? Because whenever you do, Alma always gets involved somehow."

Allen felt the more, saddened. Kanda would never show anyone but Alma a drop of kindness. However he wasn't that surprised, almost as if he knew already. "Okay.. I'll try." Again he smiled sadly. "I'll just look for Master." He slowly walked away. Kanda kept the shock in side. He just gave in again. When Allen was leaving he saw a glimpse of him scratching his shoulder area. He wondered why.

"Master?" Allen hoped this was his room. He had poor memory when it comes to rooms and directions.

"What it is..? So early..." He yawned his hair messy and obviously in the influence of alcohol.

"Master..."

"Oh it's you. You woke up?"

"..." He nodded.

"Had a bad dream?"

"..." He nodded again.

"C'mere." Offering his arms to his slowly tearing up apprentice. Allen instanly grabbed his Master from the back and silently cried. Cross caressed his student's hair and felt him shiver. Cross noticed someone at the side trying to hide when he obviously knew who it was. Not with thag long ponytail of his. Cross smirked at the same time felt angry.

'That kid... he was sincerely concerned. I don't think it was just curiosity... But I won't let you have your way when my kid's suffering because of you as well.'

Cross guided his kid inside as Allen's grasp tightened. "Let's sleep it off" He suggested but then Allen was just so fearsome of the thought of sleeping and seeing those things again. However Cross knew if he didn't sleep now, it'll bring him trouble either way. "Have you been seeing them worse nowadays?" Allen was shocked as to how Cross managed to figure it out so quickly. Ever since the day he was stabbed by Kanda's Mugen, the curse around Allen's eye rapidly increased in power. Allen's been seeing visions of akuma souls crying out to him, calling his name and begging. But what bothered him the most are the nightmares he's been having about Mana.

"Believe me, tomorrow it'll be alright. I'm here." Allen looked at his Master with tears on his face but still nodded. "Okay, let's sleep." He let Allen on the large bed he had and walked towards the opposite side to lie down beside him. He raised the covers and clung onto his student just like those days when Allen was broken.

'A meeting will be held today for all present exorcists. This is mandatory and this will be the only announcement.'

The exorcists all met up in the meeting lead by Komui. "Where are those two?" He said getting impatient with the missing master and apprentice. "Maybe they're fooling around!" That kid Timothy just had to suggest that. Now the image of Cross seducing the female-like Allen to bed is making them crazy. "WE HAVE TO GET THEM NOW!" They said in unison. On their way to the door the 'couple' entered.

Allen was clinging onto his Master's sleeve, Cross had this concerned look on his apprentice. But then the idiotic faces some of the exorcists had made Allen felt embarrassed. "What are you looking at? Beat it." Yes, he still had that grumpy phase on. "Hahaha sorry, this kid's going through puberty a little too late." Allen looked embarrassed which made the mood enlighten a little.

"Ahem! Now... Let's get serious shall we?"

"Sure."

'The cases of exorcists being attacked increased greatly during these few days."

"Well we are exorcists aren't we?"

"But it seemed as if they were targetting only us, recently no civilians are attacked nowadays."

"I see."

"What must we do then?"

"From now on, you are to be grouped. Only in HQ premises are you allowed to disperse, however outside I expect that you will never break the group. As simple as that, any questions?"

"Wait.. what are the groups?"

"Oh I almost forgot, each group will need one general. So we'll have four groups. First group is lead by General Klaud, with Lenalee, Miranda and Marie. General Tiedoll is with Bookman and Lavi. General Socalo is with Timothy, Chaoji and Krory. Aaaand the last group is General Cross with Allen, Alma and Kanda." A final smile and he swiftly made his way out.

"Why am I the only guy in the group?" Marie said feeling a bit cheated.

"Hahaha I guess brother didn't want any other guy with us!" Lenalee just nervously laughed.

"Well our group's pretty boring." Lavi said while the other two old men nodded in agreement.

"This is one ugly group." Spitting in the ground when General Socalo noticed there were no chicks!

While the last group... well just a little awkward.

"Are they gonna be okay?" Feeling a bit worried, Miranda felt the negativity around them.

"Hopefully..."

A few minutes later, they haven't even exited the meeting place and chaos was already happening. "General! What did you do to Allen?!" Alma shouting at Cross who had no idea what was happening, "What?! I didn't do anything!"

"Then why are you guys acting like lovers?!"

"WHAT?!" Even the exorcists around them reacted. No one knew Alma was so straight forward.

"Alma! What are you talking about?!" Kanda just had to butt in the chaos.

"No, what's it to you pretty boy?" Cross teased him.

"Master just be quiet!"

"Why should I? Now what's between you two?" Emphasizing the 'you two' part.

"W-what?! Nothing!"

"Masterrrrrrrrr!"

"Allen stop clinging onto him!"

"Alma let the sprout go!"

"No! This old man doesn't deserve Allen!"

"Oldman?!"

"Well you are old."

"What did you say, pretty boy?"

"He said nothing! Now stop!"

"Beansprout! Stop defending this man!"

"..." Awkward silence.

"He's my Master, so I can't!"

"What of it? I ignore Tiedoll all the time!"

"Why do you care?! I like Master so I'll visit him as much as I want!"

"You like the man that pushed all his debts to you?"

"WELL YEAH SO WHAT!"

"You're really dumb aren't you, Beansprout?!"

"The name's Allen! Master let's go!"

Pulling his master away and towards the exit. Though it was chaotic, they didn't deny that it was a break from whatever they've been going through. Somewhere, the people near them wished it didn't end after all. It was such a while since Allen actually socialized with them. If it were a few days ago, Allen would've kicked Kanda's butt by now. If he could that is. And they all knew the person whom they should thank is Cross.

Author's Notes:
Yaaaaaaay~ New chappie! :3
So Allen's attitude yet again switched. I hope I made the multiple personality very obvious yet not revealing it directly here. I want to make it as if the people around Allen are slowly discovering Allen's true and many sides. X3
