'Master Millennium!' Road exclaimed joyfully, sitting up from the floor and tossing her comic aside the door opened and the earl stepped out, 'you're back! Where'd you go?'

The earl grinned and stepped aside. Allen stood there, a dark smile plastered on his face, his white hair in stark contrast to his ashen skin. Road blinked confusedly for a moment, then her face brightened as she realized what had happened.

'OH! Allen is the new Noah!'

The earl nodded. Road jumped up and heavily glomped Allen. He made an annoyed sound and tried to pry her off, but she only clung tighter.

'This is great, Allen! Now you can be my boyfriend!'

Allen sweatdropped, looking positively disgusted by the idea. He rolled his eyes and wriggled out of her arms.

'Look, I'm not going to be anyone's boyfriend, so stay away from me.'

Road looked disheartened, then shrugged and smiled.

'Very well, for now, but I'll have you soon.'

'Now children,' The earl laughed, 'play nice. Road, show Allen to his room on the ark. Allen, Road will fetch you in a few hours for dinner so I can introduce you to the family.'

Allen nodded stiffly and the earl disappeared through the door again. Road clasped Allen's hand and started dragging him through another of her doors.

'Come on, Allen, I'll show you to your room.'

--

Allen's room was similar to that of a piano concert hall, with mirrors all around, a chandelier hanging from the ceiling and a piano in the middle. Door led off to the side, no doubt to a bedroom, bathroom and whatever other rooms the ark provided.

'Well I have to go now,' Road smiled sweetly from her doorway, 'but don't fret; I'll be back soon.'

The girl left. Allen sighed, relieved to be rid of the annoying girl, then set about exploring the other rooms. He had been right; bedroom with a king-sized bed and canopy, a fancy black and white ceramic bathroom with heated tiles and an in-ground tub, and a giant walk-in closet with formalwear, casual clothes and different countries' traditional wear filling the draws and hangers. Seeing as how he had a lot of time before dinner, he decided to have a bath.

He walked into the bathroom and turned the taps on, starting the get undressed. It was a huge bathtub; a small child could probably swim in it. But, still, the bath filled up surprisingly fast and Allen sighed in pleasure as he sank into the hot water, and let himself soak for a little while before picking up the soap and attempting to scrub off the lingering scent of the exorcists' blood. Once he was satisfied with the job, he washed his hair, and then hopped out to dry himself, the water in the bath mysteriously disappearing as he did. He wrapped the towel around his waist, picked up his old clothes and went out and into the closet to pick some clothes. He picked out some suits and held each one up against him in the mirror to see how they would look. He had never been vain, but apparently he was now, and started to put on the best looking suit.

After that, he picked out a top hat and turned to look at himself in the mirror. Something was missing…

Allen took the hat and went to find his old clothes. In the pocket of his pants was his deck of cards. He picked out an ace of spades and a joker and put them in the black hat band so they looked like an opening fan. He went back to the mirror and checked himself. Just as he was adjusting his bowtie, there was a knock at the door. Allen went to answer it. Road burst in and attempted to plant a kiss on Allen's lips, but he ducked and she flew over the top of him and crashed onto the floor.

'Wow, Allen, You're really fast!' The girl exclaimed, picking herself up. She looked Allen up and down perversely.

'Allen! You're totally sexy!'

Road ran for him again, most likely with the intention of ripping his clothes off. Allen activated his claw and blocked her from getting any closer. She looked disappointedly at him and sighed.

'You're no fun, Allen-kun…'

'Well that's too bad,' Allen said harshly, deactivated his claw, 'Now just do your job and take me to the dining room already.'

Road regained her smile and grabbed his hand to lead him to their destination. Allen was now officially a Noah.

All Lenalee could hear at first was the blood rushing in her ears. As she lay listening to the sound in a kind of stupor, she gradually became aware of other sounds; birds outside wherever she was, soft beeping noises next to her head and the scratching of a pen. Outside, she could hear muffled voices 

talking in hushed tones, their speech indistinguishable. She also became aware of sunlight stretching across her face, and a heavy weight on either side of her. Finally, she noticed the dull throbs of pain from an area between her tummy and heart. She opened her eyes.

'She was in a large hospital rooms, surrounded by monitoring equipment, with tubes and cords poking out of her. Lined up along her bed was book and folders and writing equipment, and in a corner surrounded by papers and files was a tired looking Komui, hastily writing something.

'Brother…'Lenalee managed to croak, somehow unable to think or speak properly. Komui looked up in surprise. He blinked confusedly, and then threw all his papers on the floor in a rush to get to the bed.

'LENALEEEEEEEEEE!!' He cried, hugging her, the papers on her bed scattering, 'Lenalee! I thought…I thought….I thought I'd never…'

Lenalee realized he was crying, and patted her brother on the back comfortingly. Komui regained control and stood back, though still held onto her hand. He smiled.

'So how do you feel? Do you need any painkillers or anything?'

'I'm fine…What happened…?'

'Um…There was…um…An accident…And, um… Well, Lavi found you in time, and you've been in a coma for a week now, but you're ok now and that's the point.'

'Brother…I'm not a little girl anymore. Allen really did turn into a Noah, didn't he?'

Komui sighed and nodded.

'Yes, we saw the footage from Timcanpy. He tried to kill you and left with the earl. I never expected it to happen, really, what with what Cross said when-'

Suddenly, he realized he was saying too much and clamped his hand to his mouth in shock.

'Brother? What did Cross say? You sound like you knew this might happen!'

'That's exactly what I thought.' Said a voice.

The Chinese siblings turned to see Lavi and Kanda looking questioningly at Komui. Kanda strode In and grabbed Komui's collar and held him up against the wall.

'Alright, four-eyes, what's going on here? What have you been hiding from us? Did you know Beansprout was a Noah?'

'That's classified! Now put me down!'

Kanda gave Komui such a scary glare Komui eeped and held his hands up protectively.

'Ok, ok, I'll tell you!'

Kanda smirked and let the man down. Lavi walked in to listen and Komui sat on his chair.

'Ok, sixteen years ago, the fourteenth Noah met a woman, fell in love with her and they had a child. To protect his family, he had no choice but to leave them. What the Noah didn't know, however, was that the woman was an exorcist, as was his new born son. When an Akuma hoard attacked them, the woman died protecting the baby, then a one year old, and the baby was found and taken to an orphanage. After the Noah found out about his lovers death, he betrayed the Noah's ark to General Cross and searched all over the world for his son, and finally found him, and took him away. But, he was so ashamed and guilty, that he never told the boy he was his real father, instead saying he had adopted him lest the boy found out he was a Noah and felt ashamed to be related. Then, that's when he realized; the boy bore both the characteristics of a Noah as well as an exorcist. Knowing he didn't have much time before the millennium earl found him, he began to place a curse on the boy to stop his Noah genes from coming out, but died before he could cast it. Fortunately, the Noah was summoned back as an Akuma, and cursed him before the boy destroyed him with his newly awakened exorcist powers.'

Silence filled the room as Komui finished his tale and the realization the boy was Allen sank in. Lavi was the first to speak.

'So….wait. If the curse was supposed to stop his Noah from coming out, then why did it?'

'You said in the report that Allen had said Tykki had passed through his mind,' Komui said quietly. 'I think Tykki sensed the Noah and set it free.'

Lenalee sighed, thinking about how Allen had acted strange since they had found him in the castle. She looked up.

'Well? Now what? Are we just going to sit here and let Allen destroy himself?'

'Lenalee,' Kanda said, 'The kids a Noah now, he tried to kill you. He's not one of us anymore. Let him go.'

'No, I will NOT let him go! That wasn't the real Allen! Look, right before Allen stabbed me he tried to get me to run away, but I wouldn't listen. I know he's in there somewhere, and if we just…I dunno, we could find a way to turn him back!'

'Lenalee,' Lavi said sadly, 'The only way to turn him back is to destroy him.'

Lenalee tried to retaliate, but found herself crying instead. Komui sighed and hugged her, letting her sob into his shoulder. Lenalee loved Allen, he knew that, and Allen was the only guy he thought Lenalee would be good with. But to get him back body and soul was…Impossible.

--

Allen walked into his room and was surprised to find Lenalee sitting on his bed. She looked up at him nervously.

'Lenalee?' Allen said in a harsh voice, 'I thought I kill-MMPHT!'

His eyes widened in surprise as the girl leapt forward and kissed him. At first he was disgusted to be kissing an exorcist, but then realized her lips were soft, and her body was warm. Unable to help himself, he grabbed her waist and pulled her closer, and found himself kissing back, and moving her slowly back to the bed. Then, there was white hot pain coursing through him and the dream ended.

--

Allen tossed and turned in his bed, groaning in pain. His brain was burning, like an unwanted presence was pushing itself through his mind, trying to take control. He opened his eyes, and gripping his head, he stumbled through the darkness and into the bathroom. He put the plug in the sink, turned on the taps and dunked his head into the water, trying to cool himself. The pain ebbed away slowly, and he came up for air, turned the tap off and looked in the mirror. His skin was back to its normal color and his eyes were gray again, but as he watched the crosses on his forehead disappeared and he was the color of ash again.

'Oh, so you're still there, exorcist Allen?' The Noah said to his mirror, 'I guess that dream of your precious Lenalee gave you enough power to try break through. Well bad news, I'm in control, I'm more powerful, so you can just forget you're pathetic dreams.'

Since there was no response from either the mirror or his body, Allen yawned and went back to bed. He had been here a week, and was going out exorcist hunting tomorrow. He wanted to be rested up.

Wow, long chapter, more then two thousand words. Well, hope you liked it, and if you want to know why Allen is normal when he's got no crosses while the other Noah are still Noah without crosses, its cos without crosses he's an exorcists and with crosses he's a Noah.

and about roads sexy comment..he totally is, i drew a picture to check.

Btw, I can't decide who I want Allen to hunt in the next chapter, so vote in the review box for Kanda, Lavi or Lenalee. Also, I don't know what the room of the 14th looks like, someone just said piano so I imagined.
