A/N: Alright, so 1. I want you guys to know that I have NOT forgotten about you guys, I just haven't had any good ways to start the chapter. 2. I'm formatting these a little different now~ 3. I'm definitely off from the original plot I'd had. Oops.
Alright well, I think you guys have possibly figured out that I seriously suck at beginnings.
Seriously.
I'll try, though.
Disclaimer: I don't own D. Gray-Man or any of its characters. Obviously.
"Hello, brother." Neah said again, smirking at Tyki's dumbfounded expression.
"What the-" He was cut off by an angry Road, who had completely jumped off Lero, leaving the poor umbrella floating on its own.
"What. Did. You. Do. To. Allen?" She glared at Neah, who had since changed Allen's white complexion to the signature Noah style.
"Damn, thought you would've been happy to see me, I am your long lost brother, after all." He smiled almost sweetly at her.
"Don't forget you tried to kill us all." She snarled at him, Lero suddenly back in her hand.
"Road, stop." It was Tyki, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder. "He is our brother after all."
She paused, looking back at him before nodding, stepping to stand beside him, looking cheery as usual. "If you say so, Tyki~"
"It's disconcerting when you say my name like that." He said, at which she laughed. "Besides, you know what your precious Allen's going through right now, we all do.
But Tyki was wrong; no one actually knew what was happening to Allen. It is a specific process, tailored to fit each of the Noah's purposes.
Allen felt he was trapped. Trapped inside his own mind. Trapped inside himself. He'd been walking through an endless white room for what seemed like an entire day. And he was damn tired because of it.
"Where…am I?" He asked aloud, to no one in particular, looking into a mirror-like surface.
Then a dark shape appeared in the mirror behind him, a creepy smile apparently permanently on its face, even as it spoke. "You're home, Allen."
Allen stared, wide-eyed as the blank white room he was in morphed into something else. Of course, he was a bit more focused on the fact that he was positively going mental a shape in the mirror had just talked to him. The room around him changed into a still white room, except now there was a white piano and bench as well as a long white couch. It would actually be quite cozy, in different context…maybe.
"Who are you?" He asked the thing.
"I'm you, Allen, and I am not." It replied, still smiling because it is a creepy ghost figure in a mirror.
"What is that supposed to mean? You're a figure in a mirror, how are you me?"
"Play the piano, Allen, play it."
"I don't know how!" He yelled at the thing, turning to the side, away from the mirror when he noticed something. The figure turned with him, mimicking his every move, like it really was a part of him
"Yes you do, Allen. Play it."
He sighed, going to the piano bench and he sat down, placing his hands over the keys. He gasped in surprise as his fingers started moving on their own, playing a melody he'd never heard before.
Insert 14th's Melody here
Lenalee moved from her spot up against the wall of her dice-like block, touching Chaoji's arm.
"What is it, Exorcist-sama?" He asked her.
"Do you…do you hear that? The music…It sounds like it's coming from…Allen…" She breathed, her hand clenching his sleeve tightly.
"What are you talking about?"
"Can't you hear it?"
"Hear what?"
"…Never mind…" She released his sleeve, going back to staring at the, now three, Noahs through the dice.
"So, what's it gonna be? You try to ki-AUGH!" He yelled suddenly, grabbing onto his left arm as if there was a sharp pain there. It then it started to glow, the light starting at his hand and working its way up.
It seemed to be trying to fight the Noah off.
Allen was playing the piano with more force, more urgency now. He felt like he was doing something important, of course he couldn't figure out how playing a piano could fall under that category. He couldn't stop his fingers as they flew across the keyboard, even singing along to the lyrics in his head.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes again and he could see Road and Tyki staring at him.
A/N: Sorry for the length, but I just really needed to get this out there, I'll try to write more over the weekend, because there is one, but, unfortunately no guarantees. So yeah, This chapter was a lot harder to write than previous ones, considering all the other times, if I got stuck, I'd leaf through the actual manga. Ah well, happy whatever day.
