Chapter: 3
Allen's room held no trace of light, the curtains were drawn shut, and the door was closed and locked. The silverette had curled himself into a ball on his bed with his thick woolen blanket on top of him. He could feel the fourteenth in him, like some parasite had invaded his body, he didn't like it, not one bit. A soft, hesitant, knock echoed throughout the deadly silent room.
"Allen? Are you in there? Komui wants to see you in his office." Lenalee Lee's slightly muffled voice leaked through the thick wooden door. That's just what he needed, to get out of his safety cocoon and visit the people he was trying to avoid. Numbly Allen slid out from underneath his blanket and slowly walked over to the mirror above his dresser. His silver eyes had returned but if you looked closely enough at the rim of color surrounding his pupil you could see the smallest hint of gold swimming around with the silver. Sighing he rubbed at his face, shook his head, and determinedly walked out the door to see what his supervisor needed.

"You four are being sent to Edo, Japan." Komui said in an abnormal serious tone. Kanda, Lavi, Lenalee stood in a line in front of Komui's desk. Allen, however, was standing near the door in the shadows. "Now that business is out of the way, Allen may I ask as to why you're standing in the corner? I'd expect that more from Kanda, not you." Komui was back to his playful carefree attitude, which helped lighten the aura of the room a bit, but it was still heavy due to the silverette.
"It's…It's nothing Komui, I just have a headache." Allen attempted as a cover, luckily the supervisor didn't push.
"Ok then, I would offer to let you stay behind but we need as many exorcists as we can get. I suggest you all depart now, the train will be arriving in a few minutes." Komui waved at the group dismissively as he went into the back room of his office, a place no one wanted to be.

A pulsing pain had started at the center of Allen's forehead, it was getting worse and worse, and he feared it would soon be unbearable, but this is a fact he kept well hidden from his already suspicious companions. Lenalee and Lavi were obviously keeping a concerned eye on him and even though he'd never admit it, Kanda kept glancing at him inconspicuously every now and then. Of course the bumpy train ride and loud passengers did nothing to help his major mega migraine, the silverette wouldn't be detoured by such a simple matter. He'd simply take a few (dozen) pain pills the next time he had a moment to himself.
"Allen are you sure you're feeling ok? We can stay a few days at the hotel if you want, Komui didn't give us a time limit on this mission so it should be ok to take a few days rest." Lenalee asked in a worried mother tone of voice.
"I'll be fine Lenalee, it's just a headache. Don't worry I'll be back to new in a few-GET DOWN!" Allen screamed as he tackled her to the ground just as an akuma bullet came flying through the wall of the train's cabin. Their weapons were immediately activated as the quartet got into a fighting stance. The small group was completely surrounded by akumas of all Levels, even a few Level 4s were thrown into the deadly mixture.
Standing among the vast army was a sadistic little girl with a hobo standing behind her. Both of them were in their white form but were just as deadly as if they were in their dark form. The chances of defeating a hoard of various akuma's and two Noah's were slim to none, still the four began slaughtering the deadly machines and headed towards the awaiting Noah's.
By the time they were close to them they were nothing short of exhausted, even Kanda with his regenerative powers was already tired.
"Ok Road, now you can grab him." Tyki said in a puff of smoke, said girl squealed, glomped her Uncle around the waist, and took off. Leaving Tyki in the dust that just shook his head and chuckled at his niece's behavior.

Allen had just got done defeating one of the few Level 4s left when Road came skipping over to him.
"Allen~! Millennie said you could come over and play with me~! But you need to go to sleep first so that you won't hurt yourself on the way back home~!" Road tapped the silverette on his forehead and he immediately felt the effects. Darkness started to creep in at the corner of his vision and he could feel his body starting to sway. The last thing he saw before slipping into the peaceful cradle of sleep was the silhouette of his captor.

"Allen!" Lavi swung his head around at the panicked tone of voice Lenalee used to call out to Allen. His single green eye saw red as he took in Road holding an unconscious Allen whose face was contorted in pain.
"You let him go!" the redhead screamed at her as he charged her direction, using his humongous hammer to whack the unimportant Akuma's aside. But it was too late, the girl's checkered, heart shaped door appeared and the two Noah's disappeared through it.
"Thanks for the present, exorcists." Was the last thing Lavi could hear before the doors shut and disappeared. Leaving only the three of them with the impossibly large army of akuma's. Allen was gone.

"Millennie~!" Road sung out as she entered the Noah family mansion household. Said chubby man turned around with the ever present grin still plastered to his face.
"What is it my dear Road?" he sung out, his eyes locking on the unconscious teen in the girl's arms. "Is that Allen Walker, well good job Road. Is he going to be your newest addition to your doll collection?" the Earl sung out as he turned back to his work.
"Nope~! You won't believe this but I think he's one of us! But…he's the traitor. Maybe we could do the process on him? it might work right?" the girl asked hopefully. If it did work then they wouldn't have to kill him.
The Earl had gone still, slowly he turned to face the unconscious teen, a plan forming in his head, "Yes, I think we might just do that. Get everything ready, and make sure to keep him under until the procedure is ready. With any luck we'll be able to get it done tonight." The Earl walked off humming Road's creepy song along the way. Identical smiles stretched across both the Noah of Dreams and the Noah of Pleasure's faces, it was going to be a fun night.

"What are we going to do? We can't just leave Allen in the hands of the enemy; he's a key part in this war and a beloved friend!" Lenalee said. She had been repeating the same thing since Allen's disappearance. Kanda was standing in the usual corner and had a distant gaze outside the widow, Lavi sat on the chair near the fire with a miserable look on his face (something Lenalee missed). The trio had checked into a nearby hotel and was sitting around thinking of what to do.
A timid knock on the door caught the attention of everyone; reflexively Kanda gripped Mugen, ready for another fight.
"Room service." A wimpy male voice called out. Lenalee cautiously flung the door open and took a defensive stance. When no attack came her eyes narrowed.
"Who are you and what do you want?" she hissed out, she was in no mood to be nice at the moment.
"I-I'm Chaoji Han. I'm just here to see if you need anything."
