A/n: Chapter 2 everyone 3 I even pumped this out while feeling like I got hit by a freaking 18 wheeler of a migraine and even skipped collage cause of it. Hell I'm still not caught up and this migraine is just going to make me have more piled up work. But I love writing and I love you all so here is the next chapter. Umm anyway I decided to do Brotherly!Allen instead of Parental!Allen but i might switch off between the two. Lenalee would be more of the Parental type I think. There really is no set pairing and even if it looks like a pairing its not. Get over yourselves I'm trying to stay away from romance 83
I NOW HAVE A POLL UP! GO VOTE!! It will be taken down by time I hit Chapter 5 so go vote for her innocence please.

"All the world is a stage and the men and women are merely actors."
-Shakespeare
Aurelia awoke to the sound of a gentle playing within her ears. It was a gentle tune almost a lullaby in a way that it forced her to remain asleep, to keep her eyes closed. She knew from experience if she opened her eyes the beautiful music would leave her and she would feel empty. Odd, she mused silently, that she would feel as such and yet it was true. The smell of bacon crossed her nose in combination with the eggs and hash browns that filtered through their home. A growl reminded her that she had skipped dinner the previous night in order to "run away".
'Its not really running when you return now is it?' she thought amused before feeling grimy. She would have to bathe first.
Turning on her heel the young girl made her way to the bathroom, shutting the door as she ran her small, childish hands across the sink and wall until she felt the edge of the tub, nearly fumbling over into it and knocking her head. She cursed silently about her clumsiness and reached for the taps before turning them on. The sound of the water running made her smile, she tested it to make sure it was just right before she removed her dusty cloak, revealing a plain white shirt that was off the shoulders and some black shorts held up by suspenders. Once she was naked she kicked her clothing to the side, opening the door and shouted down to her mother.
"I'm taking a bath before breakfast! I hope you don't eat without me!" She shouted before shutting the door.
She placed her arm into the water and was satisfied when it was deep enough before turning off the taps and slipped in and wasted no time in washing herself, feeling for all the world as if she was caked in mud and other such nasties. She may act like a boy, but she was deep down a clean freak at heart and was often particular about being clean. She wanted to give off the impression she took care of herself and was not a slob, a mere thought sent shivers down her spine, no she would not be a slob thank you very much! As she leaned back in the tub, happy that she now remotely clean she pondered on the tune that invaded her mind. She had heard it somewhere before, she knew, but for the life of her she couldn't think.
From the kitchen her mother hummed happily, nibbling on the bacon she had prepared as she finished making breakfast. She enjoyed having breakfast with her daughter who she felt she saw very little of as of late. Of course she was growing up, she reminded herself and as most young children do they wished for independence. Her violet-blue eyes closed as she smiled to herself. Her daughter would definitely be something else when she grows up and she was sure that if she had died her daughter would survive -after all she made sure her daughter would know her way around and tricks even if she was blind.- sometimes she often closed her eyes and walked around the house, while her daughter was outside doing the garden to see what it was like. It was daunting to say the least and she was not sure how her daughter put up with it. A slight cough made the tall if slightly portly woman glance to her daughter.
"Enjoy the bath?" She asked leading her over to the table. Aurelia had chosen a black sleeveless corset dress with a white peasant top underneath it with black shorts under the skirt. Her daughter smiled.
"Mmmhmm. Is breakfast ready?" She asked grinning.
"Yes it is." she replied placing a plate down in front of her and then got her own. It was the most delicious meal she had, had.
The morning Kanda awoke was the morning hell broke loose. One, there was an annoying rabbit curled up in his bed, snuggling into him. Two, there was an annoying bean sprout who was laying half on his chest and the rest on the bed, curled into him like some love sick little girl. Now it was not uncommon for this to happen as of late the two had become -and he as well but he'd never admit- quite close and the fear of loosing each other often made them stick closer. However despite this Kanda liked his space and when people were invading his space, being so close of course he would be upset.
"The fuck are you two doing in my bed!!!" He shouted, causing both the Rabbit and Bean sprout to awaken.
"Aww Kanda-mama woke up!" Came Lavi's tired if not playful voice. Said man twitched as he reached for Mugen.
"Oh so he is! Kanda-mama it's rude to yell at your kid so early in the morning," He said; grinning in delight at Kanda's mortified expression and then squeaked and ran with Lavi out of the room, the sounds of furniture being destroyed as Kanda chased them waking the rest of the patrons of the hotel.
"I'LL KILL YOU!!! GET YOUR ASSES BACK HERE SO I CAN POUND YOU!"
Lavi grinned as he and Allen led Kanda all through the hotel and out into the streets, weaving in and out of people.
"I think Kanda-mama is having his period!" Came Allen's voice as Lavi cackled.
"Or maybe he needs sex!" he said sniggering, urging on Kanda's anger. With no Lenalee to stop them Allen and Lavi took full advantage of this.
"STUPID RABBIT! STUPID BEAN SPROUT GET BACK HERE!!!!"
And the chase went on for quite a bit until Kanda caught them, beating them up until they couldn't move, eye twitching horribly. After recovering the three realized then that they had skipped dinner and breakfast and the smell of food wafting not far from them made Allen drool.
"I smell food," he said, literally floating in the air it seemed as the scent lured him to a pretty plain house, where a young blond girl sat on the porch, eyes closed, humming the tune she heard in her head.
The three exorcists stopped when they saw her, Lavi being the first to recognize her. Why she really was a girl, he thought grinning as he moved over to sit next to her and, leaning over, blew gently into her ear. Aurelia shrieked and fell over to the side, backing up as she did. Immediately after a door opened revealing a platinum blonde tanned middle age woman who had the beginning of wrinkles at the corner of her eyes. She was tall, but had a pudgy body -not to say she was fat, because she wasn't- but she obviously didn't get near enough exercise.
"Aurelia are you ok?" she asked before turning on the red-headed rabbit. "And you! What are you trying to do to my child?!"
Lavi backed up and hid behind Kanda leaving Allen to deal with the mess he created.
"Please forgive my friend, he's very stupid." Allen ignored the outraged cry. "We meant no harm really. We were following the scent of food and we got led here, and Lavi likes to play pranks on people so he decided to scare your daughter."
At this point Allen bowed to her, shocking her and the daughter.
"So please hold no ill-will to him, he's a poor rabbit who has yet to be trained in manners."
Aurelia giggled suddenly as Kanda made the weird snort/sigh sound as he tried to not kill a now protesting Lavi who kept trying to deny he was a rabbit and that he was also not dumb or stupid. Allen paid this no mind as he continued on a nice conversation which eventually led him inside the house, young Aurelia following, still giggling. When the two arguing suddenly noticed they were alone stared at the doorway before heading inside where the smell of food assaulted them.
"Mmmm it smells wonderful!" Came Allen's voice as her mother set a plate before him.
"Thank you. We're not the richest, so I apologize if the food is not much." She said as Aurelia sat on her mother's lap. She was curious now as to these three men who now sat at the table, eating the food her mother coked.
"It's not a problem. At least this way the Bean Sprout may loose weight," said the innocent voice of Lavi. Allen twitched.
"Are you saying I'm fat?"
"No but you could stand to be more active…"
"I'm sorry if I require more food then you to survive, Lavi." The sudden temperature drop made Aurelia blink, and her mother tilt her head.
"Is this normal?" she asked Kanda who merely shrugged and deciding he wasn't the social merely nodded, watching the spectacle before her. It didn't take long for Aurelia to grow bored and slip from mother's lap, grabbing onto Allen's hand.
"Sir, are you and your friends going to need a guide around town? I know I'm blind but I know more about this town then anyone else!" She seemed very proud of this fact.
Not only that she wanted to know why they had such a weird presence and why it felt familiar. Looking to her Allen grinned.
"A tour would be nice." He said before looking to the other two. "What do you think?"
"Will there be girls?"
"Ch stupid rabbit. Keep your perverted mind from the child."
"Did Kanda-mama just show he cared?"
Shrink. A blade sliced through the space where Lavi once was, hiding behind Allen.
"Do not call me that! Its worse then Yuu-chan!"
"Aww but Kanda-mama sounds so much cuter!"
"I'LL KILL YOU!!"
Aurelia blinked as her mother merely sighed, face palming at the hyper active boys before she turned to Allen.
"Ah would you mind taking Aurelia upstairs and help her get her shoes on?"
"Mother!"
"Of course I will." He said, eager to get away from the two less he get dragged in and that was not on his plans today.
Once away from the arguing duo did Allen sigh in relief. Her room was easy to find as he noticed that her room had more stuffed animals and books then he could care to count. Stuffed animals that looked ripped and cut as if by a knife. Books which scattered everywhere and a bed that looked messy. In short the room was messy, filled with toys and books.
"Please, place me down on my bed, I feel uncomfortable being held." said the small French voice. Allen blushed realizing he still held her and immeditly did as told, as if it was natural.
"Now then you have a lot of toys…"
"They're my friends, they won't ever hurt me you know," she said, clearly leading on to how she felt out of place.
The boy just nodded even if she could not see it and found the boots made of fine leather. He didn't expect them to have such nice shoes but he was not one to question the money status of people, especially nice ones who offered to feed them. He could still hear the ongoing argument and couldn't help but chuckle to himself as he took her leg, noticing the scars and traced them briefly with his eyes before slipping them on -since she was already wearing socks-
"This is so odd," She said gently. "I've never had anyone help me…well my mother but…"
Why was she feeling nervous? It was just like her mother doing it, only it was a boy not her mother. A boy. Who reminded her of a father. A father she never had…a father she wanted.
"It shouldn't be, I'm only doing this to be nice. Besides it's a welcome distraction to the arguing duo downstairs." He said chuckling again, making Aurelia smile.
"Well, thank you, kind sir." She said.
"Please don't call me sir, I'm only sixteen. Call me Allen."
"Alright…Allen."
