Two teens are on the back of a carriage. They both have blinding white hair. One of them is lounged back, his hands behind his head. The other is sitting up, his knees crossed. Timcampy flew around them. The one that is sitting up with his legs crossed is Allen Walker. A glove covers his left hand. His left eye has a curse mark over it.
The one laying on the floor is Nella Walker. He has an annoyed express on his face. His right hand is covered by a glove. Above his right eye is a curse mark. Both their curse marks are different. Allen's allows him to see the souls of Akuma, or the Millennium Earl's soldiers. Nella's is the opposite. It allows him to see and interact with what is known as Innocence.
Nella grabs Timcampy glaring at it. "Quit flying around you annoying cat bait. What will we do if you get swallowed by another cat?" He said. Allen gave a comical expression. The one thing about Nella is that he still has the attitude they had when they lived on the streets.
"Um, Nella I really don't think that you should be doing that." Allen told him. Nella sighs, and lets go of Timcampy.
"Whatever, how much longer until we get there?" Nella questioned. Allen thinks thoughtfully.
"I don't really know, it shouldn't be much longer." Allen replied. He fell back beside Nella.
After losing Mana, Nella became super clingy to Allen. Of course it was to be expected, since Allen is the only family he has left. Even more so since they are related by blood. That's why Nella snuggled up to Allen to drift asleep. Nella was this gentle only around him, and Allen is grateful for this. Mostly because he is the only one to always watch over his younger twins safety. They soon drifted asleep.

[Three months ago somewhere in India]
An elephant was bathing it self outside the window. Both Allen, and Nella were sitting on their knees. A man with an eye patch, red hair, and wore the Exorcist uniform sat in a chair. He was Cross Marion, the master of Allen and Nella. Nella had a glare on his face, but he was looking down at the ground. Cross, and he did not get along. Though Nella would never admit it, he was another father figure in his life.
"Allen, Nella." Cross said.
"Yes master?" Allen asked.
"What do you want old man?" Nella questioned. Cross's eyebrow twitched at being called an old man.
"Its been three years since you became my apprentice. I think its about time you go out on your." Cross said, taking a sip from the wine glass. "From today on, you carry the title "Exorcists"." He told them.
Allen looked extremely happy, and quickly asked, "Really!?" Nella on the other hand glared at Cross. 'That fucking old man better not have anything up his sleeve. But knowing the old man he does.' Nella thought.
"But, to officially become an Exorcists, you must first come with me to the headquarters and greet the people there." Cross said. Nella shivered, suddenly feeling a chill.
Cross pulled a hammer out, and both Allen and Nella leaned back. "You do know where headquarters is don't you?" He questioned. Nella nodded while Allen said yes. He took a step forward. "I will have my golem go with you, and even send a letter of recommendation to your superior Komui. When you wake up go forth." By now both Allen and Nella were sweating.
"Don't tell me you're going to be backing out master." Allen said.
"Yeah old man what gives?" Nella asked. Cross raised the hammer up above his head. His smile put the Millennium Earl to shame, and it gave off malevolence.
"I dislike headquarters." He said, bringing the hammer down on Nella, and then Allen.

Both Allen, and Nella woke with a start. Their clothes were covered in sweat, and they both were breathing rapidly. "You dreamed about master too huh." Allen said. Nella only nodded. Allen shivered, and then smiled nervously at the murderous aura coming from Nella. 'When I see that old geezer, he won't know what hit him. While he might have a ton of vitality when it comes to screwing a whore, when I get my hands on him, I'm going to cut it off, and then gut him.' At this thought Nella began to chuckle deeply.
"Its an Akuma!" A voice shouted. Allen quickly looked over to where the voice was.
"Thanks for the lift." He said, and quickly jumped off the carriage. Nella followed, but stayed behind.
"I'll be wandering around town Allen." He said. Allen only nodded. Nella walked off to find somewhere to eat.
He soon arrived to a rundown tavern. He could see people were playing poker. A lot of them were losing to a man who looked like a hobo. Well he was one. He had thick glasses, and a cigarette in his mouth. The man had made a lot of money. Nella smiled with malicious intent, and walked over there. "Um, excuse me?" Nella asked. He made his voice innocent and sweet. The men looked up at him, and he could see some had the look of lust in their eyes. The hobo however, only looked at him with interest.
"What is it boy?" He asked. Nella then smiled sweetly. He had practiced this when gambling. He wasn't above using his looks to trick perverts into lowering their guard.
Nella started to fidget, and looked at the ground. "I was wondering if you wanted to play a game of poker." He said shyly. This caught everybodies ears. "Each time you have a better hand then me, I will take off a layer of clothes. If I win, you will hand over all your money that you made." He told men around them cheered, but the hobo had an amused smile.
"The name is Tyiki Miki, what about you boy?" The Hobo questioned.
Nella smiled before responding with, "Nella Walker."
Tyiki only nodded, and began to deal the cards.
Sometime later, Nella was smiling like a devil, and carrying all he earned. "Well you win boy." Tyiki said. Nella blushed. It was the first time Nella has ever actually felt like this . Of course it was mostly because Tyiki felt similar to him. As in he put a mask on.
"Thank you." Nella responded, his mask still in place. Tyiki frowned. He had already seen through Nella's mask. He ordered a beer, and a room with two beds.
"Perhaps we can play over the night." Tyiki said. Nella nodded. Allen probably wouldn't be back until later tonight or tomorrow.
They both headed to the room. They both talked, but Nella had a bad feeling something happened to his twin. He got up, and apologized to Tyiki, and quickly left the tavern. He ran through the streets, soon coming to a cemetery. His eyes narrowed at what he found there.
Akuma were surrounding Allen, and a boy. Nella scanned the Akuma, and found the Millennium Earl was standing on one. Nella's curse mark activated. The color scheme was reflected from Allen's curse mark. "In the past I made an important person to me an Akuma." Allen said. The Earl's eyes went wide, then his smile got even bigger.
"You're that brat Allen Walker." He exclaimed. Nella felt his Innocence wanting to spill the blood of the Akuma, and Earl. It cryed out to him, yelling at him. Nella was obliged to answer.
The Earl quickly turned around, and blocked using his sword. "Oh, who might you be?" He questioned. Nella didn't say anything. He was too consumed by rage. His master once said, he shouldn't fight the Earl with anger, but he didn't listen. He could only see the Earl in his views.
"Nella stop don't fight him with anger!" Allen yelled. The Earls eyes went even wider at that.
"You're that brats twin brother. Nella Walker." The Earl sounded surprised. "Such anger, such rage, you're so much different from your brother. I can tell you don't desire to save the Akuma. No, you want to rip through them, and destroy them. Not even the Black Order has the hatred you have. You remind me of someone long before Innocence. One who fought against your God." The Earl mused. "Tell me, can you're eye see the souls of Akuma too?"
Nella grit his teeth his eyes narrowing, "No, I'm not like my brother, but I can see Innocence." Nella told. Nella told him. The Earl's smile got even wider, and before Nella could react, he received a punch to the stomach. The blow was so hard, that it sent him flying back. He crashed through several grave stones, and his the iron fence. He blacked out, and everything after that was a blur.

Nella woke up on the back of Allen. He hugged closer to his twin, and sighed. He felt rage at having not been able to kill the Earl. "You shouldn't have fought with rage Nella." Allen scolded. Nella bared his teeth, a habit he picked up on the streets. He used to hang around animals a lot.
"What the fuck did you want me to do? I'm not you Allen, I'm not filled with happiness, and I'm not looking to save the Akuma. We are mirrors of each other. We both know this! You seek salvation for the Akuma, I seek their destruction! Why the hell can't you get that through your head?" Nella was practically yelling. He hardly ever yelled at Allen, and so the other flinched.
"I know Nella, but I don't want you to die, and leave me alone." Allen told him. Nella could only sigh.
"I know brother, I know. I won't ever leave you alone you know this." Nella told them. Both of them fell into a comfortable silence, heading to the Black Order. Both twins, and yet neither knew of the hard road ahead of them had the chance to separate them.
