Author's Note: My greatest thanks to those who had reviewed! The first chapter had a lot flaws. Fanfiction could not read the stars that I added in the story so it ended up like "!!!!" along with the scene change being mixed together. So I am here to tell you there are stars in front of those exclamation marks. The misspelled words were due to me typing on a laptop which wouldn't register the letter unless you type really hard. Sorry if the flaws had affected you're reading in the previous chapter. Shall we continue with the story now?

Chapter 2: The Start of Troubles

Road stayed in the newest edition's room, lying on the bed looking at the ceiling with unfocused eyes. She was replaying what Lulubell had said to her a while ago. It was the truth. Allen had angered almost half of the Noah Clan before he even joined them at all. Even the Earl was ticked off by him, which is bad as the Earl rarely gets angry. The last time he ever was furious about it was……

"When the fourteenth betrayed us." Road whispered out loud as she clutched tightly on the sheets. It was still hard to believe even now that he would betray them. The memory was still fresh and clear as she watched the murder take place. The Earl walking away from the boy's body with his sword clutched tightly in his hand. As the blood flowed across the floor, touching her shoes and surrounding it.

"It is necessary. He betrayed us. The traitor of God."

The Earl had spoke to her still in that cheerful voice but Road can tell, his fury was at the point of hitting the roof. But she wasn't looking at him at all. For the first time in a long time, Road's eyes welled up with tears as she cried. With the fourteenth's empty eyes reflecting her movements.

"Why? Zimri, why?"

At the Black Order, along the corridor……

Allen walked down the corridor at a speedy pace with the samurai not far behind him. Though Kanda kept calling him, Allen didn't reply. It was not that he didn't want to reply. He just can't talk with that around him.

15 minutes ago……

"Where the hell do you think you're going, Moyashi?" Kanda asked in his usual cold, harsh tone. Allen unconsciously swallowed down the lump that suddenly formed in his throat.

"M-morning Kanda. I need to use the toilet that's all." Allen said, laughing nervously as he crab walked his way to the side to avoid Kanda. Kanda wasn't convinced. With what had happened on the Ark, along with what he had seen in the early morning of the day, Moyashi was definitely up to something. And that usually led to causing a lot of havoc and Kanda would have to get involved. Troublesome.

Wham!

If Allen had moved a step faster then he did, his face would have been smashed by Kanda's hand. Allen jumped at the sound and impact and sweatdropped as he saw creaks of the wall where Kanda's hand has smashed.

"Boy, you sure have been working out a lot!" Allen squeaked as Kanda's eyes narrowed with irritation and impatience. Will the stupid guy just tell him the truth on where he's actually going? Currently the Order is all over Allen because he has the requirements of the Fourteenth. It would make things worse for anyone if Allen disappears out of the blue.

"I repeat again. This time, ANSWER HONESTLY. Where are you going?" Kanda said each word in a slow and menacing manner. Allen could even see veins popping out on his temple. This is so not good.

Unable to focus by looking at Kanda directly, Allen's eyes wandered around to relieve himself from Kanda's glare. As his eyes wandered, they so happened to land on the reflection of themselves on the tall window panels. Allen widened his eyes.

"YOU!!!" Allen's sudden exclaim surprised Kanda, and of course being Kanda, he didn't let it show except the widening of his eyes by a millimeter.

On the reflection, Allen and Kanda weren't alone. A shadow like figure was hanging behind Allen. Allen knew it can't be there, behind him was a wall Kanda cornered him to! The figure was looking at Allen until it realized Allen had noticed the reflection. A ghostly smile appeared on the shadow's face as it lowered its head till it was next to Allen's ear. Allen suddenly felt a chill run down his spine as he could hear somebody breathing into his ear.

"We need to go to the Ark now." Allen blinked as he heard the words. He was expecting a ghostly voice or something that would fit the figure's look. But he was instead greeted with a voice that sounded very familiar. A voice that was……

"My own voice."

Allen thought. Then he paused. It sounded like a voice he had when he had a cold. Allen sweatdropped at the thought before sensing a killing aura directed at him. Allen slowly turned this face and saw Kanda looking like he was about to explode.

Uh oh.

"May I ask why you suddenly called my name? My FIRST name?" Kanda said in a tone which makes akuma attacks sound like little children disturbing the peace as Allen freaked out and jumped away from in front of the wall. One thing to be thankful for having Mugen in the repair store, you get to live longer instead of dying straight.

"I never said your-"Allen started before realization hit him. Kanda Yuu. Yuu sounds like You. Just when Allen was about to explain, he realized Kanda was in a very bad mood. In fact it was like his whole being in black and his eyes are shining very brightly.

At Allen.

Then the voice came again.

"If you wouldn't move, I'll do it for you." At that, Allen felt a sudden sensation of something heavy pressing into him before it changed into him feeling very light. Allen then felt his body turn without his consent and walked off, making Kanda even more annoyed and irritated.

"GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE BAKA MOYASHI!!!!!!"

Unfortunately, Allen could not turn his head or speak which left Kanda the only option of chasing after him.

Poor Allen.

"You have to go there now!!! We have to save her!!!"

Back to present time…….

"Oi Moyashi!" Kanda finally caught up to Allen, his cause of irritation had finally stopped and turned to the side. Kanda turned to where Allen was looking to see a huge iron door in front of them; there were talismans, magical incantations revolving around the door.

The back door where the Ark was held.

"Oi, what are we doing here?" Kanda nudged Allen but he gave no response. Raising an eyebrow, Kanda turned to face Allen directly. Allen's grayish blue eyes had a slight shade of black compared to normal and his face seemed to be one of a sleeping person. Kanda took a step back and stared at Allen. He was about to shake Allen before Allen's lips moved. A weird language came out of his mouth and the door started to shook. The incantations and talismans vibrated vigorously and shone brighter which made Kanda pull up his guard more. What was Allen doing?

The door slammed open and Kanda found his answer. The talismans and incantations the Order placed were to prevent people from entering. It only can be deactivated from the inside or the casters. Slowly, Allen moved and started to walk slowly to the Ark. However he was stopped by Kanda.

"What the hell are you doing?" Kanda demanded as he shook Allen's arm, getting ready to slap him awake if necessary. What greeted him was a shadow that appeared out of Allen's body, surrounding Allen. Kanda's eyes widened in surprise.

"Don't interfere."

"Moyashi?" Kanda said in surprise before a force pushed him back, pushing him over the railing that was aligned around the corridor and over it. Luckily for Kanda, he was well trained and was able to catch onto the railing before falling. As he climbed over the railing, he saw Allen walked into the room before the door closed and the talismans and incantations returned back to their original state, as if nothing happened.

"Shit." Was all that Kanda thought as he ran from the scene to find Komui, to report what happen and to get Allen out of there. Just as Kanda thought, whatever that beansprout did always ended up being no good.

In the Ark……..

Allen felt free at last. He knew what was happening through out the whole trip here. Man, is Kanda going to kill him if he saw Allen again. Allen shivered involuntarily. He turned and looked around. It was the piano room, also known as the control room of the Ark.

"Why am I here?" Allen wondered aloud as he walked to the piano and placed his hand on the score sheet.

"You have a lot of questions you want answered, don't you?" the same voice that Allen heard before was heard as Allen instantly turned to the mirror, the one which he saw the shadow figure for the first time.

But it wasn't there. Instead, he saw another figure, a human-looking figure, sitting at the other end of the piano looking at him as he swung his legs back and forth, smiling at Allen in a friendly way. The figure was boy around Allen's age. He had bluish brown hair, spiked at the end like how Allen looked when Crown Clown was invoked and midnight blue eyes that sparkled with friendliness and warmth. He wore a cloak which was dark violet blue and underneath it was a suit you see a pianist wear for a concert and had white gloves worn over his hands. The boy tilted his head to a side as he watched Allen look at the other side of piano, to find nobody there. The boy chuckled as Allen faced him again with a puzzled and wary look.

"I am no longer in your world any more so I can't be at your end." The boy said as he kicked himself off the piano and walked over to be next to Allen's reflection. As he stood next to Allen, Allen found that he was an inch taller than him. And his face……. It was as if Allen was looking at himself in the mirror, though the boy had no scar under his left eye.

What Allen found surprising was that he felt at ease instead of wary as the boy took a seat on the piano seat next to Allen. Allen could see the seat's cushion compress at the area where the boy was seating.

"You know?" The boy's voice shook Allen out of his thought. The mirror showed the boy looking at Allen as if they were friends who had not seen each other for a long time. A gloved finger tapped on his chin and he continued to observe Allen. "It would be awesome if the three of us were together again. Too bad, I'm dead." The boy shrugged at the end. The three of us?

"What are you talking about? Why am I here? What do you mean by the three of us?" Allen asked with a look that had suspicion written all over him. There was something about this guy that felt very familiar but Allen couldn't put a finger on it.

The boy stared at Allen for a while. Then sighed.

"Not cute at all." The statement made Allen facefault. The boy sighed again. "I guess I have to tell you a story to make you understand why you, no, we, are here." As the boy said that, his skin changed from light beige to grey, stigmata forming on his forehead. Allen widened his eyes and took a step backwards.

"You're-!" Allen stuttered as he pointed at the position where the now revealed Noah sat. The Noah smiled his friendly smile at Allen.

"Yup. But do you know what?" The Noah stood up and hugged currently surprised Allen in a warm embrace.

"You're one too, Eldad." The Noah whispered before he pulled away and motioned Allen to the seat.

"Now, I need to tell you a story. It is important as the three of us are involved."

At Noahs' Living Room…….

Footsteps were heard as Tyki walked into the room. He stopped behind Road who was currently staring into the fireplace with clouded eyes.

"It seems that you're back to a normal looking form now." Road said in calm and quiet manner, extremely unlike the usual voice which rang across the mansion. The Tyki that stood behind her was in his dark form. It seemed that since his awakening, to make way for the armored form, his light form was 'deleted' away, leaving only room for him to return only to his dark form.

Tyki took a seat on the floor next to room. Without looking at him, Road could feel the sadness coming from Tyki's being. For comfort, Road sat closer to Tyki and hugged his arm.

"I truly can't go back now." Tyki smiled sadly with the corners of his smile twitching.

"Do you blame him?"

Road's questioned as she looked up at Tyki, wanting an answer. Tyki closed his eyes. Truthly, Tyki wanted to blame this on Allen. If it weren't for that Innocence, he would still be able to go back to being the orphan that lived with his three buddies. Though life was hard, the four were contented just by having each other. They were his family before he even discovered himself to be part of the Noah Clan. And now, he couldn't go back, to a family who was still waiting for his return from a 'secret job'.

But Tyki couldn't. It was an instinct for Noahs to kill exorcists. It was his choice to fight and to continue fighting Allen Walker even at his limit. It was his own doing that got him into this mess. Also, there was something about the boy that he found……….alluring. Thus……….

"No, I don't." His answer caused Road to smile and hug him tighter.

"Neee, Tyki. I have a story to tell you. You might need to hear this to understand why someone will be coming so listen closely ok?" This caused curiosity to arise in Tyki despite his current situation. He turned to Road to show his attention which caused Road's smile to widen.

"The newcomer is ……" At that, Tyki's eyes widened in surprise before it shone with glee and anticipation.
