Author's Note: I did promise myself I would update weekly but, I was sort of busy with other things too, so… sorry? I will really do my best to write at least a chapter every week!

And yeah, I thank the people who added my story to their story alert, the one who reviewed and the one who 'favorited'. Thank you, guys! Such things mean a lot to me.

"Kanda, you should have checked up on him earlier!"

"What do you think I am, Lenalee, a fucking psychic? Hell, I didn't even know he was related to that bastard… Cross!"

"Yu-chan, your language…"

"Shut up, stupid rabbit!"

Huh? What's going on? Allen was hearing voices again. Whose, he wasn't sure but he had a clue: Kanda.

First his master, now the high and mighty samurai enters the scene. And wait, did he just hear Kanda mention Cross? Oh, shit. Did that mean Allen owed him money, too?

The fifteen-year old blinked, his eyes still adjusting to the sunlit room. Only then did he realize that he was lying on the ice-cold stone floor, with three unwelcome people inside his apartment. Instinctively, Allen concluded that he was 'probably' knocked out by Kanda and his minions (the other two) while Cross left him (again) to pay for the DEBT. Usual stuff, actually, and experienced as he was, he knew he'd be able to deal with it… somehow.

His mind may be a huge mess as it is, at the moment, but at least his instincts never betrayed him so far. It was during times like this and poker that they proved to be very useful.

I could still run for it, I guess. I'd just have to make it to the door then make out my next move from that point.

When Allen heard the trio arguing, he decided it was his chance. He wasted no time and immediately snapped to his feet, making a dash for the room's entrance. The 'strangers' were taken aback by the unexpected move, and so was the abnormally sharp-sense samurai. Allen knew it was still too early to celebrate but he couldn't help smiling inwardly, seeing their reactions. So long, suckers!

"W-wait, Allen! Don't leave!"

"Where do you think you're going, MOYASHI?"

"It's Allen, BAKANDA! And, there's no way I'm ever paying Cross' debt!"

"That's mean, Yu-chan. I can't believe you're forcing him to pay up when he hardly has_"

"Just shut the fuck up, Lavi and go after the beansprout!"

"Y-yes, ma'am, no, I mean, sir!"

Kanda and Lavi set off to chase after a paranoid Allen. They have yet to realize how challenging it can get.

A/N: Horribly short chapter, I know. I am terribly sorry (again). Please bear with me and my busy schedule, I will try to post the cont. of the chapter within the week. I won't ask you to review this time, but if you do want to… thanks! :)
