Chapter 2
Welcome to The Black Order
October 1
3:30pm- City of Martel Train Station; Wednesday
Allen rubbed his head where his Uncle Cross had smacked him for asking the age old question of 'Are We There Yet?' for the 5th time. After seeing the train station both of his Uncle's rudely tossed him on his ass…while the car was still moving! Flittering around his head was the golem, Timcampy, given to him just for his 'adventure' at the school {Uncle Mana's words}. The small golden orb could grow and shrink its size, has feathered gold wings and a long tail with a wisp at the tip. Its 'eyes' was a pointed cross on its face, just underneath it was an almost invisible line of its mouth, which was filled with sharp little teeth surprisingly.
"Stupid gun-wielding-womanizing-drunk off his ass half the time-psycho and here I thought my gentle-kind-patient as hell-fatherly-angel-of-a-Uncle was on my side…no, both those bastards threw my ass out the car…while it was still moving! Now, Uncle Mana said that Cousin Jerry would be waiting for me…" Allen muttered to Timcampy, looking around for the oddest looking Walker to ever exist.
"All~~en!" hearing a jovial voice sing his name, Allen turned to see his cousin waving to him, standing with a fellow shinigami. Feeling nervous around other shinigami, Allen walked shyly forward, the golden orb sitting on his head.
"Honorable Cousin Jerry…fellow shinigami…uh…" Allen started to be polite but was cut off by Jerry dragging him into a bear hug, causing Tim to go flying off and land on top of the luggage. The coffee colored pink dreadlock haired…yes pink with dreadlocks (A/N: that's how I explain the epicenes of Jerry's appearance)…sunglasses wearing man easily shushed the youngest member of the Walker Family.
"Now, cutie…this here is Reever Wenhamm. The Wenhamm Family is the second branch of the Walker Family…so, cutie this is pretty much your cousin. And what have I told you about being so formal with me!" Jerry said, releasing the teen and then lightly smacking him on the head. Allen rubbed the back of his neck with his right hand, careful to keep the light-weight gloves on. Jerry sensed Allen's shy nature surfacing so, on way to the train, he did all the talking. Reever, in Allen's opinion was a straight-laced, laid back man that quickly made Allen feel at ease. Reever had fluffy short blonde hair that looked to be eternally bedhead, and soft blue eyes. Soon, the three were avidly talking back and forth about random trivial things. Tim resting either on the window sill or Allen's lap. Then Allen asked a question, gently playing with Tim's tail.
"So, when does classes start?" he asked, Jerry glanced at Reever.
"The 13th." Reever answered.
"What? Why then?" Allen asked, slightly shocked that classes would start that late, wasn't this school top-notch?
"Well, the teachers are…slackers at times and usually we have the students get used to everything, we recently moved the school. It used to be in the city, now it's in Innocence Valley." Reever said picking his words carefully.
"Wait, isn't that place haunted?" Allen asked, mentally killing his Uncle Cross for telling him ghost stories of that valley.
"Afraid of ghosts?" Reever asked with a quirked eyebrow.
"N-No!" Allen said a little too quickly. Jerry snickered, knowing his Uncle Cross. Reever only nodded in sarcasm.
"Ok, sure Allen."
A few hours later and train came to a stop. Jerry chuckled at Allen; the teen had fallen asleep sometime after lunch. It was dusk and Jerry smiled at the small welcoming party that he asked to welcome the little hybrid. Reever got off first, and then paused as Timcampy hid in the back of his shirt.
"Uh?"
Allen looked to Reever and lightly laughed.
"Uncle Mana said that Tim was afraid of cats, there must be one around here. He also said that Tim eats regular food, which is odd for a golem like him…isn't it?" Allen said, as the trio approached the gates. Before the shinigami could reply a squeak was heard.
"Reever!" a glasses wearing man cried, dramatically running forward. The blonde side-stepped and the black haired man fell to the side of Allen. The teen looked down and then back to the blonde who held up three fingers and silently counted down. The man sprang up and glomped Reever. Allen blinked, and looked at Jerry. The taller man merely sighed dreamily, while waving a hand to the other five teens standing with a sweatdrop at the gate. One had the jet black cat Allen recognized from the booklet, laying across his broad shoulders.
"Oh dear god, he's gorgeous!" Allen thought, as the five walked towards him. A light blush dusted his cheeks as the group got closer and Allen got a better look at him. (A/N: *cue the squeals of: FIRST MEETING!* Also, I described all but like two of the five teens, so meh! Lazy authoress here!) Quickly looking away to douse the blush Allen looked to the other teens. There was a redhead with a wide grin, a dark green haired girl with a gentle smile, and two others.
The tallest of the five teens had short black hair that softly spiked back; sweeping to the side of his face was a shock of pure white that looked to be his bangs. His black eyes were obscured by bookish glasses. Beaming next to the long haired teen and scratching the cat behind its ear was a teen with short black hair, it was ruffled and he had a lock of fluffy black that fell before pointed ears, pure shocking violet eyes shown with innocence. Allen took note of the devil tail and small wings that the violet eyed teen sported. Jerry cleared his throat; all teens stopped staring at poor Allen.
"Everyone, meet my youngest cousin, Allen Walker!"
*-Kanda's POV-*
5:25pm: Innocence Valley- Black Order Boarding School
The small group that had gathered all waited nervously for their new arrival. Kanda looked to his childhood friend, Alma Karma. The teen was practically hopping in place along with the baka usagi. Rascal leaped from the peak of the arch above the gates and landed in front of Kanda. Seeing the regal cat in the sunset gave Kanda an eerily calmness. He looked to his fellow vampire, Aryastar, and inclined his head. The taller vampire merely smiled warmly in return.
"Yuu-chan-YIPE!" Lavi froze at the sword that swung to point at his throat…in mid-air. Kanda glanced at him before grabbing said sword, Lavi's eyes were wider that saucers as he gulped. Lenalee sighed and side-glared at Kanda, Alma shook his head in amusement at the two. Komui, Lenalee's elder brother, shook his waist length black hair back over one shoulder, soft black eyes obscured by his scholarly glasses. Lavi coughed, while backing away. Rascal looked back at the small group.
-Yuu-Kun, what do you think the new kid will be?-
Alma and Lavi both looked to Kanda at Rascal's question. Kanda shrugged.
"Tch, considering that Jerry and Reever. Both, went to get them…most likely a shinigami." He answered, Aryastar nodded in agreement. Lenalee and Komui shared a pout. Neither fairy could hear the ancient cat, only devils, weres, vampires and demons…basically the top non-human predators would be able to hear the cat.
-Here they come.-
The cat leapt onto Kanda's shoulders as the two shinigami's walked forward with what looked to be a short haired girl. Kanda stared and Rascal purred low.
-It's a boy, Yuu-kun…a rather feminine boy…but, a boy none the less.-
Kanda blinked, "Cute….wait…what the hell?"
Lavi grinned as did Alma, the devil scratched Rascal behind his ears. The group of teen's sweatdropped as Komui went to glomp his crush. This, failed…Kanda kept his eyes on the newcomer, seeing now it most definitely was male, and damn it all to hell the kid was cute!
"Let's go welcome our new friend!" Lenalee said, leading the four boys. As the five came to a stop, Kanda took note that the kid was nervous and pulling down the sleeve of his left arm. Raising an eyebrow which caused another light blush from the kid, and a smirk from Kanda. Jerry practically sang, his introduction, hands clasped on the kid's shoulders.
"Everyone, meet my youngest cousin, Allen Walker!"
*-Reader POV-*
"Hello, Allen-kun. My name's Lenalee Lee." Lenalee said, winds changing to a warmer temperate. Allen smiled politely. Lavi's grin grew evil, Alma saw this and sighed. Lavi pounced forward and caught the startled teen in a one-armed hug.
"Hey there, Ally-chan! Name's Lavi Bookman, but you can call me Lavi!" Lavi said, already giving the poor kid a nickname. Allen looked horrified, Aryastar sighed.
"Greetings, Allen-san, my name is Aryastar Krory. Don't mind Lavi…"
"He's an idiot." Alma finished. Allen's smile was strained and Lavi leaped away with a 'yelp', it seemed as if Allen pinched him with his left hand. Kanda's smirk grew with sadistic pleasure. Rascal saw the smirk.
-Please refrain from corrupting this precious child. That's my job…-
Allen looked at the cat, his smile gentle and warm.
"What's this pretty one's name?" he asked tilting his head to the side. Lavi answered before anyone else.
"That is the unofficial mascot of our fair school, the infernal cat, lord of the floors: Rascal…or as Old Man calls him: Aetas."
Allen chuckled, Alma stepped forward. Smiling he held out his right hand.
"Alma Karma, Allen Walker, welcome to Night School!" Allen hesitantly used his left hand to shake hands with Alma. The sharp devil was gentle, but firm with the handshake, Kanda 'che'd. Releasing the handshake Allen looked at Kanda, with slight surprise.
"Moyashi."
Allen's left eyebrow twitched, "Did I call him gorgeous two minutes ago…I meant jackass…"
Lavi and Alma both sweatdropped, Lenalee gasped.
"Yuu Kanda, what did you just-?" Jerry exclaimed. Aryastar gaped.
"Kanda, that's really rude!" the taller vampire said, already knowing that Kanda would be a jerk…like he always is.
"The name's Allen! Not 'Bean sprout'!" Allen cried, Kanda didn't show it as he turned and walked away, but he was impressed with the fact that Allen knew some Japanese.
"BaKanda!"
He froze.
Lavi and Alma exchanged looks of barely contained amusement. Komui, Reever and Jerry were ahead of the teens and so they saw Kanda's dark expression. Lenalee and Aryastar mentally prayed for Allen's well-being. Rascal looked from Kanda to Allen the back. The cat's right ear twitched and leaped to the ground, trotting back to Alma. The devil picked Rascal up.
-Does the kid have a death wish?-
"No, I don't…" Allen whimpered, now feeling immense dread about the dark aura gathered around Kanda that he could see with his left eye. Rascal paused, as did Alma and the others.
-Allen, Welcome to the school. So far you have managed to piss off the residential sword-wielding Pyscho, Yuu Kanda….how do you feel?-
"*gulp* Terrified, cause that's one hell of a dark aura…what is he?"
-Vampire.-
"Shit…I'm dead…"
-Allen…what are you?-
"Half human…"
-Half shinigami…-
"Yeah…"
-Run behind Alma over here and then look down…-
Allen didn't need to be told twice. He dashed behind Alma, only relaxing when said devil's tail encircled his waist to pull him closer. Allen then peeked over Alma's shoulder to look at…Rascal.
"Oh, Rascal…you can talk?"
The cat looked highly impressed. Not only could a Halfling hear him…but, a half human/shinigami could…
-Huh, so whenever Oliver glared at me it was cause he could hear me…-
"You know Grandfather?"
-Shinigami parent?-
"Maria Walker."
-DAMN! No wonder you can hear me…your Mama was strong kitten!-
"Mom was that strong?"
-Yup! Yuu-kun, leave this kitten alone or else I'll break all your hair ties again.-
Allen watched as the aura disappeared as quickly as it gathered. Shooting the Halfling a glare, Kanda sulked off. Rascal snickered, Alma turned and caught Allen in a full hug. Rascal switching to Allen's slim shoulders. Allen blushed as the devil nuzzled his hair.
"Awesome! We have a new friend! Ne, Allen…if you want a boyfriend anytime soon, I'll be happy to fill in!"
Rascal fell off Allen's shoulders and leaped up, performing an impressive drop kick to the devil's head. Thus separating him from Allen, then the irked cat leaped onto Allen's shoulders, hissing.
-Not the time for you to turn into an incubus on us, Alma!-
Lenalee and Aryastar looked at one another agreeing that Allen needed 'elder sibling' protection. Lavi couldn't breathe he was laughing too hard, Kanda who heard all that leaned on the nearest wall for support just knowing that Alma would be damn annoying from now on.
