Chapter Warnings: Nea being your typical Asshole honestly lol


Chapter One:

The sun was rising up into the sky the early morning birds beginning to sing their song. A soft breeze blew through the trees making the already fall air a bit nippy. A young boy was sitting on a train starring out the window a rectanglular suitcase laid down beside him. Across from him a young man in his mid to late twenties sat, elbow leaned against the window his cheek resting upon his fist. His dark cropped hair in his face. The boy took note at how neat the mans' tan trench coat was given the scuffle he had been in only a few days before. A small little golden ball with wings flew over and landed on top of the boys head and snuggled into the white hair.

"Tired Timcanpy?" The boy asked lifting his eyes to try and get a look of the small creature but was unable to. The boys name was Allen and he was on a trip with the older man to some seaside town in Portugal. All he knew was that this place was to keep him safe. He kind of sort of doubted it. A week previous he had been separated from his mother and his two friends and locked in another room of some sort.

He had been so confused and had been so afraid to. This man before him though had come to keep him company though. Even though he actually hated the man, he didn't mind the company at that time. He found out that this man was the younger brother to his father which made him hate him more. He had no idea what to expect but when his mother was finally able to see him he wasn't expecting him to lose her in those next moments. He had passed out during and when he woke up the man was in a small scuffle with another man who had red hair. The new man didn't agree that he was being taken somewhere different which wasn't a part of some original plan. He questioned no one though. All he knew was he hated both men.

"Glaring at me isn't going to bring your mother back Allen." The man spoke with a yawn sitting up and opening his eyes, revealing molten amber. Allen rolled his eyes and turned his head to look out the window his glare softening.

"I know she's not coming back. If you hadn't been trying to get together with her she may still be alive!" Allen hissed clenching his jaw.

"You know that isn't true Allen. The reason for her execution was your birth because of who your father is." The man continued to explain trying his hardest to remain calm with the boy. The two never got along, correction Allen never allowed the two of them to get along. "I just want us to be friends."

"No."

It was a simple answer, a bit too simple for the older mans liking actually. He just wanted to get up and smack the boy. Half tempted to reveal to the boy that if his mother and him had married she'd still be alive. Hell, if the boys mother had married anyone from the Black Order she'd still be alive but, that woman was so worried about who was influencing the boy her death was unavoidable. Allen made it so difficult for any man to get close to his mother because he was determined for them to reunite with his father and be a family. Too bad the boy had never met the man responsible for his creation. He sat back against the seat and covered his face with his hand, he was so close to strangling the boy more than ever. Maybe he should have had Mana escort the boy to Adam, better the softie than him. Hell, the boy probably thought Mana was his father. Last he checked he had a hit on his head for killing almost everyone in their crazy family. But he had no choice and could only hope Mana and Cross were keeping their words and contacting Adam.

"Nea, am I really an abomination?" The boys timid voice startled him and it reminded him how vulnerable and weak minded Allen really was.

"Don't allow Lvellie's words get to you he's just a pompous asshole." Nea found himself saying dropping his hand back into his lap. He had to last another few hours and they'd be in Portugal and soon to their final destination. He wanted this already four day trip to be over.

Nea wasn't at all surprised when Allen fell silent again watching the trees and other scenery go by as the train rushed through many countries. The boy hadn't spoken much since they initially left that early morning in London. If it weren't for Cross stopping him at the station then he could say they were able to sneak away without being caught, but that isn't what happened. Nea promised Allen's mother to get him out of the clutches of the Order and get him to his father. But even then Nea wasn't about to reveal to either Adam or Allen of who they were to the other. Nea knew the resemblance would have been recognizable if the boy still had his red hair. But trauma did that to people. He could only hope the boy could get close to the others. Closing his eyes once more Nea fell back into a light sleep, he really didn't wish to see his oldest brother again.

Rude awakening was an understatement to Nea when Allen shoved him out of his seat. He really didn't understand the annoyed expression on the boys face. He should be the one annoyed for being woken up so rudely. It only took him a few moments after that to realize he had been shoved because they had arrived to their destination. The boy was pretty impatient and Nea blamed the boys one friend back at the Order. With a groan Nea picked himself up off of the floor and followed Allen off of the train, he was so happy to be walking once again. His eyes narrowed at the welcome sign, he should have known they were coming to the city of Lisbon. Before anything else he left the boy by the station entrance and went to one of the people unloading the train and gave instructions on where Allen's things needed to be delivered. Then he returned to the boy taking his hand and continued to walk with a groan.

"What's your problem?" Allen asked taking his hand out of Nea's and taking a hold onto the belt loop of the others trench coat looking around as the two of them headed out of the train station. Nea wasn't at all surprised by the boys actions since he had done it when they were walking through London. The poor kid had a horrible sense of direction and was always getting lost. He even had to have an escort in the Order and he was born there. Only place he knew had to get there was the damn cafeteria.

"I'm dreading being in this town. I am dreading meeting up with the man I am giving responsibility of your care. Him and I aren't on the greatest of terms." Nea explained grudgingly putting his hand on the boys shoulder as the two crossed the street.

"How come?" This was the first Allen was curious, but the older male couldn't blame him. He was about to be thrust into a very new environment with no preparation of who or what he was about to encounter.

"I made some horrible decisions and destroyed our once happy family. I can only hope Mana or Cross contacted him. If not then I am most likely going to die today kid." He answered Allen's question, he felt the boys shoulders relax some. Timcanpy was flying ahead of them leading the way, the rest of their walk in silence. They were walking for quite a while until Timcanpy finally stopped in front of a gate.

Nea stood there staring with his mouth hung open at enormity of the home where his oldest brother lived. With a groan he covered his face with his hand muttering incoherent curses on why couldn't Mana or Cross bring the kid to this place. Why did it have to be him? Peaking through the spaces of his fingers he looked up to the house to see the drapes of an upstairs room slightly move. Well, there was no running away now he had no choice but to go in. Dropping his hand he gave Allen his best reassuring smile before walking up to a side column and pressed the call button on the electrical device built into the stone piece.

"Hello Nea-Pon!" The voice was deep and held much sarcasm, Nea glared down at Allen who began to giggle a bit.

"Adam long time no see. Mana or Cross should have contacted you about my arrival and the details of me coming here." Nea spoke his voice strained from trying to stay as civil as possible.

"Yes the both of them spoke with me a few days ago. I can count on you that the boy is still all in one piece, yes?" Adam asked his voice now teasing and a bit insulting. Nea couldn't help the growl which came from him.

"Yes Adam the boy is still all intact and very much alive and annoying now can you open the gate so we can get this over with and I can vanish?!" Nea spoke in a strained voice his shoulders twitching in anger.

"Yes, yes of course my dear younger brother. Next time let Mana come instead I really don't enjoy seeing your face. Especially not this early in the morning." The man on the other side chuckled before there was a beep sound and the gate began to open.

Nea growled and took Allen's hand leading him up the curved walkway to the front door of the Spanish styled home. The entire journey up to the house Nea was muttering. Allen had to bite his lip to keep himself from laughing out. He knew if he did Nea would most likely explode on him for sure. A maid was already standing with the door open ushering them to come inside. Allen nodded his thanks to her since Nea didn't as they walked into the home.

"Mr. Campbell is awaiting your arrival in his study, if you would follow me I will take you to him." The maid spoke softly motioning with her hand for the two to follow her up the stairs.

Nea made sure Allen kept close he didn't want him wandering into the wrong room. The older male had no idea if she…was still around. He really didn't want Allen caught up in her games, at least not while he was still here. The woman led them to a set of large double oak doors knocking on the door before entering stepping to the side so Nea and Allen could go in first. Again, Allen nodded his head in and thanks and smiled to the woman since Nea didn't. This time he got a smile in return from the woman before she shut the door behind them.

"My, my Nea you are still such a slow walker." The man behind the desk chuckled his hands folded underneath his chin. Allen took in the mans' appearance. He had wide broad shoulders slicked back dark hair and signs of a growing beard on his chin. Then man actually reminded him a bit of Mana when he wasn't in his clown get up.

"I'm not here to reminisce or crack jokes with you Adam. This is business only and I really want out of here before I'm seen." Nea spoke right to the point his eyes hardening. Allen felt a pang of pain in his chest hearing the others words. Even though him and Nea never got along and fought almost constantly he still was sad that the man didn't want to be near him anymore.

"You're just trying to avoid Road because you know she'll hurt you in her excitement of seeing you again." Adam spoke with a wide smile on his face, Allen looked up to see Nea's expression fill with dread.

"You and I both know she'd most likely kill me," Nea groaned before dropping Allen's hands and pulled a folded piece of paper from his jacket pocket. "Allen be good and go sit." With a roll of his eyes Allen walked over to where there was a set of chairs in front of a fireplace. Timcanpy landing in his lap to keep him company.

"Really Nea you should be nicer to the boy. After this you will no longer see him again most likely." Adam spoke a bit astonished at how Nea was acting towards the boy.

"The sooner the better Adam. The kid and I have a mutual hate for one another and honestly I wish it had been Mana or Cross who brought him. He's been nothing but a thorn in my side." Nea hissed unfolding the paper revealing two pieces and laid it on the desk in front of Adam.

"The woman who was supposed to be his guardian after his mothers' death already signed it and so did Cross who was to take over the boys training. All that's needed is your signature and whoever else's signature to be his guardian and he's officially yours. I need your signature at least on both of them to finalize it. The other persons signature I can send Cross at a later date for." Nea explained his arms crossed becoming extremely impatient.

"You say Cross was to train him, what kind of training?" Adam asked grabbing a pen and began to sign both papers, he already knew the answer just wanted to hear it from his youngest idiot brother.

"He's a parasitic type, the innocence is embedded on the top of his left hand, though his weapon doesn't work so he's considered pretty useless. Do what you want with him, kill him, enslave him, I don't care just keep him out of the Orders hands." Nea growled snatching his copy of the document when handed to him.

"Honestly Nea, do you really hate the boy that much?" Adam spoke and sighed when Nea scoffed at him and turned to leave. Allen was peering over the chair at them a sad expression in his eyes. Adam couldn't blame the boy. Karma had to be against Nea because before he even walked half way across the room the doors burst in and a young girl with short cropped dark hair came in. A hateful look and a mischievous smile gracing her lips stood there with her hands on her hips.

"Damn it Cross you're to blame for this." Nea muttered under his breath taking a step back away from the girl.

"Nea Campbell!" The girl yelled jumping from her spot and tackling the man her hands grabbed onto the collar of his white button up shirt and began to viciously shake him. She was screaming profanities at the man. Allen squeaked in fear and slipped down the chair hugging tightly onto Timcanpy every now and again peering out to see what the girl was doing next. Adam made no move to stop her.

"Damn it Road get the hell off of me, and it's Walker, Nea Walker!" Nea screamed out another man walked into the room with an amused look. He picked up the document Nea had been holding looking it over.

"Ah Lord Millennium shall I sign this as well so that we don't have a mishap like this again?" The man asked the Portuguese accent heavy in his voice.

"If you wish to Sheril, but know if you do I am putting the boy into your primary care. You know how I like to stay in the background of things." Adam spoke with a caring smile on his face.

"Yes, yes of course I understand." Sheril spoke walking over to the desk signing both documents as well. The two were ignoring how Road was now trying to stab a struggling Nea with a very sharp candle. Other candles were floating around her.

"Hold still you asshole!" She screamed trying to pry Nea's hand from her wrist which was holding the candle.

"Allen boy come on over and meet Sheril. Don't mind those two this is how they're always like." Adam spoke calmly with a smile waving for the boy to come on over. Allen was a bit unsure as he shyly walked over to the two men.

"Good morning Allen I hope your journey from London wasn't too stressful." Sheril smiled dropping down so he was at Allen's eye level.

"It was okay, Nea was pretty boring company. But, I had Timcanpy." Allen shyly spoke holding the gold golemn up.

"Yes, Nea is a very boring person indeed. Now tell me a bit about yourself. You know likes and dislikes." Sheril asked setting his hand onto the top of Allen's head.

"I…really don't know. I've never been to school and if the Black Order Scientists weren't running tests on me and the other children we were being trained in fighting. The only time I enjoyed was when it was meal time." Allen explained after he had been thinking for a bit.

"Did you have any friends?" Sheril asked curious seeing the underlying sadness in the boys eyes. He wandered how a boy so young could come to have such eyes.

"Oh yes! There was Yuu Kanda and Alma Karma, they were my best friends. The three of us always drove the inspector crazy. But they were the only two who actually treated me like a human being. All the other kids considered me a parasite like my innocence is categorized." Allen explained excitedly but his voice grew quiet towards the end as his head dropped his eyes adverting to his left arm.

"Well I hope your two friends reassured you that those words were never true. May I see this innocence?" Sheril asked ignoring the loud shriek coming from Nea. Road had nearly stabbed the others eye out.

"Well…I…I guess so." Allen stammered nervously letting Timcanpy to fly off to help his owner while he reached down and undid the button at his wrist. He paused for a moment before pulling his white glove off and pushing the sleeve up.

Adam had to control his facial expressions as his thoughts went crazy about how cruel the innocence was when it chose a host to be born into. He watched Sheril gently take the boys left hand into his own. The other man examined the green shard of innocence in the boys left hand. It was glowing very dimly allowing both men to come to the conclusion that it wasn't very strong. Adam stood from his chair and walked around the desk patting Allen's head gently as he walked by and went over to the two quarrelsome family members.

"Road honey please leave Nea alone. Now that he was unable to avoid you I have some questions for him." Adam spoke his voice full of authority. Road whined only for a moment before getting up off of Nea and running over to Sheril wrapping her arms around the mans neck cheering happily. Allen chose that moment to hide his arm again.

"What questions do you possibly have? The boy could probably answer most of them! Honestly!" Nea hissed standing to his feet and dusting himself off.

"Oh no, these questions aren't about the boy really. It's more of getting an agreement from you." Adam's voice was downright dangerous now as he held Nea's copy of the document.

"The moment I hand over this document to you, the boy is rightfully mine, becoming part of the Clan of Noah. Which means you will ensure we can get him back if the order takes him." Adam asked holding the paper to Nea. The younger male grabbed the paper glaring daggers at the other man.

"The paper states he is legally yours. I cannot guarantee the Order won't send people for him considering his mother was a very important exorcist who committed treason giving birth to the brat. Take my words as you like but he's your problem now, not mine." Nea answered darkly yanking the paper from Adam's grip and walked out of the office not once looking back.

"I wander some times where I had gone wrong with both Mana and him." Adam sighed pushing his fingers through his hair.

"His attitude isn't from anything you've done Mr Campbell sir. Like Nea explained earlier him and I have a mutual hate for one another." Allen's small voice filled the large room.

"How could someone hate someone as cute as you?" Road spoke in astonishment releasing Sheril and wrapping her arms around Allen's shoulders.

"I guess it's because he fell in love with me mum and I wasn't letting him get close to her because I still hoped she'd go looking for me pa but it never happened and before I knew it she was taken away from both of us." Allen explained his accent coming out heavy due to his nervousness looking around for Timcanpy only to see the golemn was now gone. He should have expected it.

"Road why don't you show Allen to his room and we will see the two of you at lunch later. Try not to scare him too much sweetheart." Sheril suggested watching Road cheer and drag Allen out of the room and down the hallway.

"Lord Millennium?" Sheril spoke standing to his own feet.

"I wished he hadn't rushed out of here, but I doubt he would answer the question on who the boys mother was. I know the boy isn't going to open up much about her. It is evident in his eyes that there is much he is holding inside." Adam let out a heavy sigh walking back to his desk and taking a seat.

"Sir?"

"Sheril this is the first time I've allowed an outsider, an exorcist no less become part of the Noah Clan." He answered immediately.

"Why did you sir?" Sheril then asked also curious of his masters decision.

"Cross explained to me that the boy is the missing key to this war and the Order is going to be stopping at nothing to get him back. Which means he will also benefit us, but in what way I am unsure of." He explained before standing a door appear to his right.

"I have akuma to create, you're in charge. I will see you at lunch." Adam spoke his form changing into a grotesque smiling fat man before he walked through the door it closing behind him and vanishing.

"You're more trusting Lord Millennium. I will take over the care of the boy, but I do not accept him as a part of this family." Sheril spoke to himself his voice full of slight hate.
