Chapter 4. Crystal Tears and Heart in his body
Once again, the doctors managed to pull Allen back from death, but Allen remained in a coma even the doctor said he should wake up after a few weeks. Lavi had a fight with Lenalee during the surgery. Allen's doctor said that if Allen can't wake up within three months, the chance that he would wake up will probably be only 10%.
Lavi, who was extremely regretful that he hadn't defended Allen better, take care of Allen every day. One day, when he was hurrying back to Allen's room after lunch, a young doctor stopped him. "Are you a friend of Allen Walker?" Lavi nodded, wondering who the man is. "My name is Komui Lee, Allen Walker's doctor five years ago." "What!!" "Allen didn't tell you. That silly boy. This is a long story, I will tell you after I finished my work. You can wait at Allen-kun's room."
Lavi waited until ten o'clock at night. Finally Komui come to Allen's room. And Lavi was made known of Allen's past.
Allen Walker was a forbidden child. His father was a young businessman; his mother was his sister. They laid together and beget child. His father abandoned them when Allen was one year old. His mother attempted to killed him when he was young because of his face. Allen looked exactly alike his father except for his eyes and hair color, the cursed one, the punishment of God. However, Allen managed to escape from his mother and had been adopted by several families. But every time they know the truth, they abandoned him, left him alone crying and screaming in the dark. Five years ago, he was sent into the hospital because of a strange disease and Komui Lee found out that he was a boy with crystal heart, easily breakable, because of being alone and abandoned for far too long. And Allen left the hospital five years ago and hadn't come back again until now. Allen had went to Komui's quarters and told him that he found someone who treated him very well. Next thing Komui knew, the boy had jumped from the roof.
"When Allen Walker told me that someone was protecting him, his eyes shone brightly like stars. But you people are the same as others. If Allen–kun didn't wake up, please just let him be. Why force people to wake up when you abandon them?" Kamui asked Lavi before leaving, leaving Lavi alone with Allen in the darkened room.
Lavi looked at Allen but he was still unconscious. "Allen, wake up. I will not leave you, so wake up, ok?" Lavi was crying by the side of the bed. "I know you will hear me, don't you? Allen?" Just then, the door crashed down and a very angry Kanda walked in. "Kan...Kanda?" Lavi was shocked, he never thinks that Kanda will come and visit Allen. Kanda walked straight towards Allen as if he didn't see Lavi. (Or maybe he really didn't see Lavi.)
"Moyashi, wake up. That is nothing to me. I won't kick you out. You are the only one I care for." Kanda planted a gentle kiss on Allen's forehead. Lavi was shocked by the samurai. Never had he thought that Kanda could have spoken such soft words. Kanda left after he gave Allen's silver hair a soft rub.
It was clear that the samurai was not as heartless as everyone thinks. Kanda had come and visited Allen in the night. Maybe, he should return home and gets some rest before continue taking care of little moyashi. Lavi thought before leaving Allen's room and missed Allen's tears for the second time.
After several months, moyashi had finally regained consciousness. Lavi rushed to the hospital after he received the call. Allen was the same child from before he jumped from the roof except for his memory. He had shut away his memories in the deepest place in his heart.
"Moyashi-Chan!! Finally you are awake!!" Lavi nearly burst into tears while hugging little moyashi. Allen look at him blankly and asked, "Who are you?" Lavi forced himself to smile when he hear that. "I am Lavi Bookman. A super handsome usagi." "Usagi?" Lavi nodded.
Just then, they heard someone arguing outside the room. "He is the forbidden one!!! You cannot keep him!!" "Shut up! I am his guardian!! I can not and will not abandon him!!" Next thing they knew, the door was flung open, and a very furious Lenalee walked in and pointed at Allen. She shouted : "Because of you we all will suffered. You are the cursed child!! Why can't you leave us alone!! You should died when you jumped from the roof!! I hate you!!!" Allen was stunned by Lenalee words. "I am… not suppose… to live? Then…who…am I?" He asked Lavi, but Lavi avoid his eyes. Allen looked at Lenalee again. "You are the child that even your mother want to kill you!! Cursed Child Allen!!"
Allen was shocked. He never thought that this young girl would call him as cursed child, but something in his deepest memories started to scream in agony. He clutched his head and tried to calmed down, but Lenalee's word kept repeating in his mind. "No! I am not a cursed child! I am not! I am not!!!" he covered his ears and tried to run away from the truth.
"Allen……" Lavi was trying to calm Allen down when the door slammed open and a furious samurai stormed in. Kanda stared at the little moyashi in the bed, crying and trembling. "Stupid moyashi." He sighed and walked near Allen. "Who…who are you? Don't……don't come near…me!!" Kanda ignored Allen's words and hugged him tightly. Allen's eyes widened and he started to struggle, in an attempt to ran away from Kanda. "Stop it." Kanda voice calmed the little moyashi down. He stopped struggling and looked straight into the samurai's eyes.
"Listen, moyashi. Why don't you fight against your fate? If you were born as a cursed one, fight with your curse." Allen asked softly, "How can I do this?" "Not 'I', us. We are the same. And together, we will fought it." Kanda replied with a smile as he pressed his lips upon Allen's forehead. "Together?" "Yes, together."
Allen nodded and tried to hold back his tears but failed. Kanda smiled and mumbled something that sounded suspiciously like 'stupid moyashi' while wiping his eyes discreetly. Finally, his dream had come true; he had found someone who knows the truth but still won't abandon him. (But he lost these memories.) He put his arms around Kanda and smiled.
"Stupid moyashi." "It's Allen."
