Comrade
Chapter 3
It's so very lonely here,
They die only to come back again.
But they're never the same, Always different, no longer recognizable.
I hate it, but at least I got you, my precious irreplaceable friend…
Komui couldn't get himself to say anything.
The being in front of him is absolutely breath taking.
Replacing the white haired teen named Allen, stands a mighty being.
Pristine white fur shine ethereally with bright red intricate markings, bright silver eyes that looked like they where staring though Komui's soul.
It's left paw was a pitch black compared to the rest of it's fur, arrow like markings spread to it's left shoulder.
In front of Komui stands a beautiful wolf.
Allen shakes himself slightly, quite relieved that he's finally back to his real form.
Being human is a pain, speaking of humans, the ones in front of him was still staring at him, his eyes wide open and his mouth slightly agape.
Was something wrong with him?
His comrade once told him that humans get sick easily, is the supervisor ill?
Concerned Allen barked to get the supervisor to snap out of his daze.
Komui startled out of his daze when he hears a strong bark from right in front of him.
When he looks, Komui realizes that he must have spaced out.
"Ah, sorry I ended up staring…" Quickly adding, "There's no need to worry" when he saw how concerned Allen looked.
It seems that that did the trick as Allen wagged his tail happily.
Relieved that Allen isn't concerned anymore, Komui's inner scientist awakens, and he started to question Allen further.
"Can you talk in this form?"
Allen shakes his head, 'no'.
"That's rather troublesome…" Komui muses out loud.
Allen cocked his head to the side, watching Komui with a questioning gaze.
Komui scratches his head awkwardly, "well I guess it's not so much trouble for you…".
He could swear he saw a quick, sarcastic 'you guess?' gaze from Allen, but decided not to question. It must be the most normal thing in the world to Allen after all.
The wolf and human stare at each other for a while before Komui notices just how big Allen is. While sitting up, Allen is easily a couple of heads taller than Komui.
He gulped slightly at that, imagining just how strong Allen must be, and how easily he must be able to tear people apart.
Komui quickly stashed those thought to the back of his head.
He doesn't want to show any fear in front such a terrifyingly strong being.
Allen himself, however, had noticed the supervisor's fear the second it appeared.
He didn't react to it though, he was used to it. It isn't the first time that humans suddenly feared him, and most likely not the last time.
Allen turns his attention to the strange female human instead.
The human female hasn't moved in a while, maybe she was ill?
Slightly concerned for the strange human female, he wanted to bark at her as well.
He didn't get the chance though.
"Are you, even in this form, still capable of using the innocence to it full potential?" Hevlaska suddenly questions, startling Komui yet again.
Allen nods happily, 'of course'.
"I'm glad the innocence is in good hands then."
'or in good paws…' Komui thinks amused.
"Well I believe it would be a bad idea if we took Allen's Innocence away…" Allen growled at that, making Komui flinch "…besides it's most defiantly safe with dear, kind, not vicious Allen here, hahaha..."with that Allen started to wag with his tail happily again, and Komui releases a breath he didn't know he was holding.
"I also believe it's in your best intentions to inform everyone of this." Hevlaska dutifully changed the subject, because of that Komui silently thanks her.
"Yes it does seem like a good idea, seeing that Allen doesn't seem to make any indications to turn back human again…" Komui casts his gaze towards Allen who's by now, not paying any attention to the, apparently uninteresting, conversation. He instead decided that the lift itself was still more interesting, even when he had already seen it move.
Both Hevlaska and Komui stared at Allen who in turn was staring at the lift.
Komui was the first to break the silence "… er, yes I shall inform them as soon as possible…Allen?" Allen tore his gaze from the lift, and cocked his head slightly to the left, almost as if he was asking, 'yes, what is it?'.
Komui smiled at Allen before answering Allen's unasked question, "let's head for your room shall we?"
Allen happily barked and affirmative.
"Let's go then, to your room, to my precious Lenalee, my wonderful sister!"
He cheered as he activated the lift, heading upwards, leaving Hevlaska who was silently chuckling at Komui's antics.
The travel to Allen's newly assigned room went relatively well…
Sure, some people fainted or froze in shock when they saw the, pretty much huge, wolf happily trudge after Komui, but nobody attacked Allen nor the other way around. So that was good, Komui mused.
He could almost swear that Allen was amused at some of the reactions though, but he didn't mind.
Komui was also faintly concerned that Allen, in such size, wouldn't fit trough the door properly. Komui at that time found out that it's a good thing that the doors at the order are quite wide and tall, well at least more that your average doors. They have many different kinds of people here at the order, so it worked out just fine for Allen.
Allen himself, thank goodness, seemed content with his new room and when entering curled up next to the bed. 'By the looks of it he has been travelling with someone before, seeing that he hadn't even casted a look towards the bed… I wonder where his companion went?' Komui though to himself when he saw that Allen fell asleep.
His ears twitched slightly though, he wasn't really sleeping very tightly yet.
For some reason, Komui couldn't help but think that Allen wouldn't, at least not until he was out of the room.
When the he closed the door, Komui happily skipped to his office.
His darling sister would be there, with coffee and with her beautiful radiating smile.
And realizing one of the best things of Allen not being human.
He wouldn't try to charm his precious Lenalee.
One octopus less to be concerned about, yay!
While skipping, it seemed that Komui suddenly came to the realization that he still had to write out a small report on Allen. His shoulders suddenly drooped, and his face fell slightly.
Oh, oops, almost forgot…
