~~Story Time /Sparkles! Sparkles!/~~
"Oi idiot pupil, get up." Cross dragged Allen away from the door and threatened to drop the boy out the window, seeing as they were three stories up.
"I'm up! I'm up!" Allen struggled and looked down at the ground far below.
"Hmmm… I have no use of you now. Should I just drop you here?"
"AGAIN?!" Cross let go and watched and Allen fall, painfully bonking his head on the ground and the people around him yelped in surprise. Allen sat up rubbing his head and glared up at the window. "DAMN IT MASTER!" He ran away from the building. A finder was not far away, he had been waiting for the exorcist to return.
"Ah, you've returned."
"Sorry Toma. My idiotic Master just dropped me out the window." Allen shrugged and walked in a random direction, looking for a secluded area.
"I see. So are we done here?"
"Yep. I successfully got the innocence. Sorry I had to make you wait here though." Allen grinned and stopped to open the ark. They walked through and a small boy made a curious noise and he walked up to the entrance. He poked at it, seeing as his finger went through and he stuck his head in, the fully stepped inside realizing that the whole place was like another neighborhood. He glanced behind himself to see the door he had walked on no longer opened for him.
"Where is this place?" He turned and walked aimlessly, finding the two people he had seen go in before him. He pushed back a lock of green hair and walked silently behind the two, eyeing the white hair one of them had. The other stranger was wearing a tan coat with bandages covering half his face. He looked over at the houses. They looked so similar it was as if they were walking in circles. The man with white hair suddenly froze and started complaining. The boy took the time to listen to what he said.
"Toma! I don't wanna~ not after what happened when Lavi caught me doing that the last time!
"Doing what?" The boy froze and covered his mouth. Luckily the man in front of him didn't notice and Toma couldn't spot him behind the other's back.
"Please Allen-san no need to overreact I was just wondering."
"You're lucky you're one of my best friends now or I would've left you by now. Allen took a step forward before stopping again. "I'll make a door to the order now." Allen looked over to one of the many doors and opened it, revealing a hallway that stretched around a deep hole.
"…Wait!" The boy grabbed Allen's arm and they turned to step into the hallway. Allen jumped and slowly turned around; sighing in relief when he realized it was just a kid.
"Where did you come from?"
"I was just following you guys the whole time! I don't really have anywhere else to go so I thought why not? It's not like I have a family to go back to anyway."
"What is your name little one?" Allen crouched down in front of the boy so they could see eye level.
"M-my name is Makoto." Allen hummed in response.
"Tell me, is your hair natural?" Makoto nodded and grinned. Allen smiled back and stood back up. "Well then come on!" Makoto grabbed Allen's hand and followed them into the hallway. Makoto's hair seemed to glow now that they were in a darker area.
"Makoto-Chan, does your hair always glow?" Makoto nodded, a few strands grew longer and curled around like snakes.
"Makoto-sama, your hair is moving." Toma pointed out and stopped. Allen did too.
"I guess I'll be going now~" Allen turned and looked at the empty spot Toma used to be.
"Honestly." Allen sighed. "How old are you Makoto?"
"I'm… 6?"
"Aren't you a little young to be running around by yourself?"
"I've been living on my own since I was four!" Makoto pouted and crossed his pale arms; his hair glowed slightly brighter than before and swayed threateningly in the air.
"How come?"
"My parents told me they thought I was unique in a strange way and took me outside. A few minutes later I turned and ran after this butterfly I want to catch and it flew out of reach. I turned around and my parents were gone, taking everything with them."
"I think you should meet Komui! He's really nice." Allen picked Makoto off the ground, ignoring the child's protests and ran down the hall.
"So you guys have the innocence, correct?" Komui pointed his pen towards Allen, who nodded. "Alright so who's this little fella?" Komui stared at the child with glowing green hair with the same light green eyes to match.
"This is Makoto. He followed me and Toma here and he doesn't have a family so I just couldn't drop him off on the street again, also I believe he may have innocence." Allen gestured to Makoto's hair and Komui nodded.
"I guess we should take him to Hevlaska." Komui stood from his desk, Allen and Makoto doing the same. Allen guided Makoto to Hevlaska with Komui, the boy slightly aware of how dark it was. He seemed to step closer to Allen and jumped slightly as the small noises. He stared up to what appeared to be almost a transparent woman with an odd body in his view. They could talk to her but Makoto was tuning out everything.
"We believe this child has innocence. Might you check for us?" Hevlaska nodded.
"This child indeed does have innocence in his hair, seeing as it took on a green color from a very early age." Komui grinned.
"Allen?" Makoto pulled on the teen's sleeve (after finding out Allen was actually 15.) Allen turned and gave Makoto a questioning look. "What's innocence?"
"I can explain that later. Just stay still okay?" Makoto nodded and Allen backed away. Soon enough transparent arms wrapped around his small arms and legs and pulled the child into the air. The woman seemed to be saying constant numbers. The boy was panicking and looking at Allen with terror in his eyes. He seemed to calm down mostly from Allen's reassuring smile.
When Makoto touched the ground, he went straight for Allen and clung to his leg. "Could you have warned me?" He growled, his childish voice not giving much of a threat to the older who simply chuckled and shook his head in a teasing way.
"Makoto, since you and Allen have some sort of brotherly connection here, you two will share Allen's room." Komui pushed up hi glasses as they glided back up through the air. Allen nodded happily and Makoto smiled as well, his grip on Allen's leg tightening in a hopeful way.
Allen opened the door to their room and looked through drawers, taking out clothes and giving them to Makoto. "It seems I have kept those clothes from when I was your size. So they should fit. Makoto took off his slightly torn and dirty shirt and looked at the clean dress shirt he was given before turning to Allen again.
"Can I take a bath?" Allen spun around and nodded. He walked over and took the clothes from Makoto, holding his own up as well.
"Of course! Let's go." Allen pulled Makoto's shirt back on and led the boy out the room and down the hall to the baths. (A/N: Random Question #1: would it be bath or baths?)
They walked into the room full of steam and Allen turned to undress the boy, them himself. "I guess you haven't had a bath since you were four, right?" Makoto nodded slowly and took Allen's hand again, they both headed for the bath."Well then, I should wash your hair for you?" Makoto smiled in response as Allen grabbed shampoo and pulled the boy into the bath. Makoto sat back, enjoying the warm water. Allen had started washing his hair.
The door opened to reveal another person walking into the bath. Makoto turned and looked and the long-haired woman walking away from an energetic redhead. They both practically chased each other until finally falling into the bath. Makoto stared curiously at the two yelling at each other before Allen turned with a stern look in his eye.
"Would you two shut up!? Lavi stop messing with Kanda! And Kanda, stop being messed with! They both turned and glared at Allen before noticing Makoto. The boy cast a shy wave and Lavi approached quickly.
"Allen, who's the kid?"
"His name's Makoto! I found him in India. Turns out he's an exorcist." Allen eyed the redhead wearily.
"Hello~ I'm Lavi!" Lavi pointed to himself then directed his finger to the woman. "That's Kanda." Makoto looked over.
"E-excuse me, Kanda?" The girl turned around. "You have a nice name ma'am!" Makoto smiled. Kanda visibly snapped and Lavi burst out in laughter. Even Allen couldn't hide his chuckles.
"Oh my god that was perfect." Lavi fell back against the edge of the bath. "Makoto you've got some guts calling Kanda a woman!"
"That's a woman?" Makoto hopped off Allen's lap, walking over to Kanda and put a tiny hand on his shoulder. "I am so sorry mister." Kanda gave him a half glare and shrugged it off.
"Whatever."
"I'll take that as 'apology accepted'." Makoto grinned and hugged Kanda, the man making no move to shove the boy off.
"Kanda don't wanna drown a little kid today?" Lavi called out randomly. Allen covered his mouth to hide his smile and Makoto let go, walking back over to Allen and sitting on his lap.
"Nii-san I'm hungry?"
"Then we should go to the cafeteria after." Allen said and washed out Makoto's hair.
"Oh aren't you just the cutest thing I've ever seen!" Jerry squealed, ruffling Makoto's hair. The child blushed and looked down. "What can I get you today?" Makoto looked back up to the pink-haired male and began ordering.
Allen was at the table already, slightly watching Makoto as he gulped down his food. Lenalee sat across from him, following Allen's gaze to the boy walking over. "Hello there! Who might you be?" Makoto sat next to Allen, cautious of the tower dishes.
"I'm Makoto!"
"Wow you eat a lot just like Allen!" Jerry wheeled over a cart half full of food.
"Thank you Jerry-san!" Makoto took the plates off the cart and began eating at the same speed as Allen. Lenalee just smiled at the similarities between the two.
"So I'm guessing Makoto's a parasite type?"
"M'up" Allen said with a mouthful of food. They both sat back satisfied minutes later and let a happy sigh escape.
"I can totally see you guys as brothers."
"That's why I love this guy!" Allen patted Makoto on the head and grinned. "I guess we should go to bed now seeing as it's been a long mission and I'm just tired- let me sleep!" Allen went from responsible big brother straight down to slumping over on the table lazily. Makoto sweat dropped and grabbed Allen's hand, pulling him from the table and waved and farewell to Lenalee.
Allen pulled open the door to their room and let Makoto in before closing the door. He dropped onto the bed and stared at Makoto. The boy shuffled to pull his boots off and clambered into the bed after him, snuggling into his chest and falling asleep. Allen laid back and stared up to the blank ceiling; his eyes falling closed. He blindly reached for the light and turned it off.
A figure phased through the door, a smirk on his face, "We won't let you people have another exorcist~" a voice whispered through the room, the door opened slightly and a girl slipped in.
"Careful not to wake up Allen-kun, we only need the boy before he gets a hold of that innocence and learns how to use it!" She hissed quietly.
"Road, I know what to do." The man placed a gloved hand on the boy, picking him up gently and making his body phase through Allen's arms. He held the child and walked through the door Road had created.
"Good job Tyki-pon, Road- chan~ Now we'll raise this child as our own and make sure he sides with the noah."
"One question, how will he side with us if he only has innocence unlike Allen?"
"He's young. He won't know what's what when he's been here for a while~ shower him with love and kindness he'll gain your trust very quickly." Tyki nodded in a somewhat understanding way and Road stared at Makoto.
"He's not as cute as Allen though."
Allen woke up with an empty spot next to him. Instantly he shot up and looked around. "Makoto?" There was no answer. Surely the kid wouldn't have left the room since he still didn't know anything but Allen had to check.
"You're up early, Allen." Lenalee said as she noticed Allen running down the hall in her direction, panic written all over his face. "Something wrong?" Allen turned to the girl and stopped.
"Have you seen Makoto? He couldn't have gotten far…" She shook her head and Allen continued running. He asked everyone around the Order before a dreaded thought crossed his mind.
Had he been kidnapped?
~~Story Time Over~~
Lenalee: What a horrible place to run out of time! Author-sama is mad so I'll have to leave! See you Saturday~
Author: Lenalee! Get back here!
A/N: Hmmm that's a first. I was never really fond of OCs so I'm surprised I actually like writing that. I do like reading the stories just not very into the whole made up character stuff so… yeah… I feel horrible leaving it like that but… I could finish it. Saturday. When I actually start the whole 'updates Saturday' thing.
