Selfine: I send the author's apology for not being able to update this fanfic early. Here's a new chappie! Hope you like it!. Oh yeah, the reason on why Road betrayed the Earl will be revealed in the later chapters. Once again, there are minor but important changes that had been made. It might be far different than the first one.

Allen stroked Star's fur and looked up at Road. She seemed to be in deep thought. "Road-ee, what are we going to do now?", he asked

She sat down beside Allen and sighed."Ne.. I don't have a single idea.."

Allen looked around. He didn't know what town they were at. He'd never been here before. The people here seemed busy. His stomach growled loudly."I'm hungry, Roadee..", Allen moaned, looking up at Road.

"I guess we really should find something to eat..", Road said, she stood up and glanced around. Allen suddenly found himself being lifted from the ground. A middle-aged man held him up.

"Let me go!", he yelled. He struggled and tried to break free but he held Allen firmly.

"Finally, I've found you..", the man said." I can't believe that such a small child is giving Master Tyki trouble..."

"Let him go", Road said.

The man smirked at Road."Why would I-" The man stopped in mid-sentence. He just stared at Road. Road looked somehow different. She glared at the man with golden eyes instead of purple ones.

"Mistress R-road!", the man exclaimed, he was stammering.

"Let him go", Road repeated.

The man hastily put Allen down. He seems to be afraid. Allen ran and hid behind Road. Star followed then barked at the man."P-please fo-forgive me, Mistress Road!", the man pleaded. He was almost desperate.

"Akuma, self-destruct", Road said in a low voice. The man's eyes widen in fear. Suddenly, the man exploded and was reduced to ashes.

"I can't believe you're rejecting us, Road", a voice said. It was a familiar one.

Allen looked up. It was the man who killed Mana. He was sitting on top of the roof. He smiled at Allen." I didn't expect you to hurt me badly back then, shounen."

Hurt him badly? Allen didn't remember anything of such event. What is he talking about?. Several akumas appeared behind Tyki. The Noah of Pleasure smiled at them..

"Allen..run away from here", Road said.

"But Roadee..", Allen said in a small voice.

"Just go, Allen", Road said."I'll be able to find you later. Just go!"

Allen hesitated for a moment. Then he began to run, Star bounded after him. It was hard to run with the snow covering the street. He stumbled a few steps as he turned into an alley. He looked behind him. There were two akumas after him. Allen quickly stood up and ran again. He kept glancing behind him. Luckily, Star was still able to catch up with him. Allen felt himself bumped against someone. He staggered and fell backwards on the snow.

"Are you alright?", a redhead asked. Allen looked up and saw a guy wearing a black coat. He had a red hair and he wore an eyepatch over one eye. He was with an old man also wearing a black coat. Allen didn't answer, he just looked behind him.

"Akuma!", Lavi exclaimed. Akuma? Allen wondered.

'Give us that child, exorcists and we won't hurt you'

Lavi took a glance at the small child and back at the akumas. What do they need with him? He brought out his innocence and easily destroyed the two akumas. He glanced back at the boy. There seem to be nothing different about him... Allen stood up and thanked Lavi. Suddenly, Allen hunched over, clutching his head. Lavi saw blood dripping on the white snow

"W-what's happening?", Lavi asked but Allen wasn't able to answer.

"I think it would be best if we bring him into a hospital...", Bookman said calmly. Allen felt himself being carried by someone. But he was only vaugely aware of it, it felt distant to him. Like it was happening to someone else... He was feeling dizzy.

'There's no need to worry...'

A... A voice! Whose was it? It seems familiar to him...He had heard it before but where... And when?

'... As long as I'm by your side, you won't need to worry about anything. No one will be able to hurt. No one. Not even him...'

'Him'? He wanted to ask but his voice won't come out. He noticed that the pain started to fade away. He was even starting to feel quite relaxed. 'There are things that would be later revealed at the right time. All you need to know is I'm here to protect you... After all, I was created for that purpose.'

To... protect him?

'...Allen Walker'

~Symphony of Dreams ~Symphony of Dreams

Road crouched on the snow, facing Tyki. Tyki was on the snow covered street, face down. She licked the blood on one of her candles.

"You left me with no choice, Ty~ki. I wouldn't allow you to hurt my Allen", she said. She threw the candle on the snow. She stood up and turned around.".. Even if it meant hurting my former family. I just can't let Him do that again to the fourteenth."

Road glanced at the street. It seems like someone had already destroyed the akuma that were after Allen. She needed to find Allen.

~Symphony of Dreams ~Symphony of Dreams

Allen opened his eyes and sat up. He looked around. He was in a room, it looked like a hospital room to him. He touched his forehead, it was bandaged. Allen saw Star near the bed. He reached down for him but he squirmed away.

"... Star?", Allen asked in confusion. He hopped off the bed. He approached Star but he just continued to back away from him. He seems to be scared of something... Of him.

"What's the matter, Star?", he asked again, crouching in front of him. He'd never seen Star act like this to him. The door opened and Lavi came in. Allen turned to look at him.. It was the red-hair guy with the eye patch."Uhh... food?", Lavi said as a greeting.

Allen eyed the bag he was carrying. He gave Allen a warm bread from the bag. He happily ate it. As he ate, he noticed that the red hair guy was looking at him anxiously. Like he wanted to tell him something. Lavi just gazed at the boy. He still doesn't seem to notice what happened to him. How to tell a boy that he was slowly becaming a noah? Maybe that's why the akumas were after him.

Suddenly the window opened and a black cat entered the room. Star came up and barked at it. The cat glared at Star and he fell silent. He cowered behind the bed. Lavi started. It made Allen wondered, it's just a cat, right? The cat walked towards them. Lavi didn't like the way it was looking at Allen. The cat began to form into a human.

Lulu Bell approached the boy."You're coming with me", she said. At first, Allen was too stunned too react but then he snapped out of his daze. He tried to ran away from her but LuluBell reached out and grabbed him.

"Let the kid go", Lavi said. The lady's hair turned black and her skin became gray... A noah!. "N-noah", Lavi hissed.

"Let me go!", Allen yelled.

Several man entered the room and turned into akumas. They surrounded Lavi. Lulu Bell jumped through the open window and landed on the roof of a nearby house, bringing Allen along.

"Let me go!", He struggled in her arms but everytime he did that, he was starting to feel tired."Let...me.."

His eyes started to feel heavy. He feel so tired... sleepy. A voice achoed in his mind.' Don't worry, I'll take care of this, my dearest musician...'

"Allen!", a familiar voice yelled. Lulubell noticed that the boy had stopped struggling. The boy seems to be asleep.

"I know you could do it, Mistress Lulubell!", Mimi said. Lulubell just stared at the boy. He was the fourteenth's reincarnation but he was still young. The youngest noah. She wondered why Tyki Mikk wasn't able to retrieve him earlier, it seem fairly easy.

"Allen!"

She looked at where the voice had came from. She found the ninth disciple... Road, looking at her with fierce eyes. This was the same girl who had became accustomed to her. She had became close to her that she didn't expect to betray them too.

"Give Allen back!", Road demanded."... Lulubell!"
