"Allen" my master Cross called. My skin was starched and smudged while my hair was a tangled mess due to the lack of combing; I sat on my knees.
"Yes master?" I answered him. I assume that he would want me to fetch him another wine glass.
"It's been 3 years since you become my apprentice." Yeah, and all of those years have been a living hell. "It's about time you held your own…From this day forth, I permit you to formally call yourself an exorcist."
"Really?" I said excited, a smile beamed off my face. I was finally going to help the Noah. Oh, how much I missed them, I haven't seen a single one of them in years.
"But in order to do so we must go to the headquarters together." He spoke in a slur, due to his nonstop drinking.
"Allen…" Cross stood up and reached behind the chair, that he was comfortably sitting on, then walked towards me. "You know where the headquarters is, right?" As soon as he was a foot a way from me, I put my left hand behind me, ready to crawl and run any seconds notice.
"I'll leave my golem behind to accompany you." I was leaning on both arms now. "I'll be sure to send a letter of recommendation to Komui, the head officer on your behalf. Get going as soon as you wake up." Wait, what does he mean 'wake up'? Surely he isn't...
"You can't be thinking about leaving me behind, master?" I tried to reassure myself; this man was the only way to find the Order. My way to the Noah again. My eyes were wide and sweat was on my face from the nervousness.
"I hate that place," That was his response to my question. His eye gleamed red as he swung at me. The last thing I remember thinking is,
'This man is a demon!'
"Allen! Allen!" I heard a voice say, waking me out of my dream. I tiredly open my eyes, but saw red hair, which sadly reminder me of my dream.
"Gomen, Master. I-I-I didn't mean to sleep on the job! I just," I spoke rapidly and jumped out of my bed. While now on my knees and bowing to Cross, I heard snickering. "Lavi!" I yelled in frustration and quickly got up and regained compositor.
"Allen, I really am beginning to wonder what Cross did to you," He said with a giant grin. "Komui wants you in his office. Something about a mission."
"Another one!" I just got back from my last one with Kanda, which did not go well, and the Komlin incident and now this. I grab my coat off the closet and hastily put it on. I swear these people will lose exorcists if they keep this up. I really wonder what the Noah are doing…
"Allen, I gonna take a nap, 'kay?" Lavi called out as I walked out of the room.
"Whatever," I told him but as I walk down the corridor, I never hear the door open for him to leave, now I realized why he asked me.
Idiot, I sighed, fixing my collar angrily. Can't anyone let me rest for more than a few hours?
I opened the door when I reached Komui's office and plastered a polite smile on my face.
"Komui..." I sighed as I looked at Komui who was currently pinned down by the stacks of book surrounding his desk. As he told us my mission which Lenalee would accompany me, we were going take off immediantly. We left him to his work, during the boat ride, we only made small talk but on the train was my time to rest. Finally, I settled back and closed my eyes.
The first thing I see Lenalee's face. I had to stop myself from scowling and snapping at her but I put a friendly smile on my face instead.
"Morning Lenalee," I chimed and yawned while she smiled and replied,
"Were here now," and with that we got of the train and into the city. As soon as we enter, I got a shiver and turned and glared at the entrance.
"Allen-kun are you okay?" Lenalee asked with concern traced in her voice.
"Yes, I am fine. Thank you for your concern." I smiled and tiled my head a little at what was behind her, several level 2 akuma. Luckily Lenalee thought I was directing that to her and slight blush traced her cheeks. I let her drag me off to somewhere but I could only think about the strange feeling.
