A/N; Neah makes me happy. That is all.

-Man is owned by Hoshino-sensei

Vampire

Paranoia ran ramp ant inside the recesses of Allen's mind, all thanks to Neah being the freak that he was being after the Rewinding Town incident with Rhode. With the Noah family now in the picture, Neah would have to be more and more careful about his use of his abilities over Dark Matter, along with aiding Allen.

Neah tapped quietly on the keys to a piano inside of Allen's mind, sighing. He was too worried to play, so the instrument vanished like it had been there and was replaced with a table and some tea to watch what was going on with his cute nephew. So they were in search of that man? Finding Cross Marian would be difficult. At least they had his Timcampy to be able to better locate him.

Timcampy had been designed after the Earl's own Lero, only he was far more sophisticated in his abilities than the umbrella. He could grow at will, he had a personality of his own, could store anything and every in his body, knew some forms of sorcery to be able to break barriers…and the best thing of all? He could store many pieces of music, which was probably the best thing ever and made Neah adore the little wannabe snitch.

Neah pulled his mind out of thoughts on his beloved Timcampy to thoughts on Cross Marian. God. He hated that man with a bloody passion; he always dumped his unpaid debts on top of him. Neah had it just as bad as Allen did. He'd always been able to pay it off with performances, while Allen went the gambling route. Neah didn't much like how Cross had turned his cute nephew into a dark gambler with an ego when it came to poker.

"A vampire, huh?" Neah mused, as he watched the mayor of this small German town explain this Crowley figure to his currently tied up nephew. Neah sighed, and wondered…why did his nephew always get into so much trouble? He was always getting into near-death experiences and problems that would leave his uncle panicking and having to interfere with things.

"Bookman Junior?" Neah frowned deeply. He'd known the current Bookman…and his apprentice. And this wasn't his previous apprentice. What…ah well…the Bookman clan wasn't his problem now. It was this vampire, and the Noah clan. Already Allen was getting into oodles of trouble and they weren't even close to finding Marian yet.

"Oh lord. I feel faint. Allen's going to get into so much trouble for before this mission is over…" Neah muttered to himself, although everything he generally said was to himself…

Back to his paranoid stalking of his cute nephew now that Neah had gotten himself all worked in about how much trouble his…oh. He'd already found the vampire…and had been bitten. "Ow. That's definitely Innocence there…" Neah stated simply. "That's….not a vampire. That's an Innocence accommodator."

The two Exorcists were now venturing towards the vampire's castle, by now, Neah had figured out that he was only an Akuma vampire and that's why his cute nephew's blood had tasted so bitter to him. After all, Allen was his cute nephew…his blood would taste as good as he looked. Or not.

"Man-eating flowers? Really Marian? You gave him man-eating flowers? Oh. When I get my hands on you I'm going to strangle the bloody hell out of you…" Neah muttered crossly. He sighed, and rubbed the back of his neck, trying to think of something to let Allen know that they responded to love…kind of like that little man-eater Cross had made little Allen raise. "Aha. Got it." Fiddling around through Allen's head was something he usually didn't do. He was already in his head, so why mess around it even more? He brought up the memory of Rosanne for Allen to remember.

e

"I am Master Aleister's assistant, Eliade"

Eliade? Akuma. Neah could tell that she was an Akuma. No doubt about it, she was an Akuma. "Alleeeen. She's an Akuma." Oh wait. He couldn't hear him. Neah twitched, and sighed. "This is going to end badly." He had no idea that he was so completely right.

"All Akuma. The pentacle marks on the ground must be on the ground because the flesh must have decayed and the insides must have leaked out."

"The Baron has been attacking Akuma."

"It was about time you noticed that he's an Innocence Accommodator." Neah drawled, sighing heavily. "They really aren't that bright, are they? As much as it hurts me to say that about my own cute nephew…"

"Aleister Crowley. Are you really a vampire?"

"Uh. He basically is a vampire...he's an Akuma vampire…." Neah was saying, which for once in his unlife that Allen would /hear/ him inside of his head and not be freaked out by the voices in his head, but generally people were freaked out by voices in their head…

"Oh my…if it isn't that cute little white haired kiddo…I thought I told Aleister to slaughter you."

"I know it. It's going to end badly. Great. ALLEN. She's a bloody Akuma! OH WHY CAN'T YOU LISTEN TO ME FOR JUST ONCE," Neah flung his arms into the air in an angry conniption. "That voice in your head is supposed to be your conscious...why am I not your conscious. I'm smart, I'm reasonable..."

"Aw. No response? Or is it that you don't feel up to it? Perhaps you took more damage from Aleister then I thought."

"Shit! Allen! You dumbass. Fight back! Mana, you effing /idiot./ Now is /not/ the time for you to be repairing Allen's injured eye. There's plenty of time for that later." Neah hissed, flinging his arms back into the air. "Allen. If you die. I swear I'm going to kill you…which in retrospect won'tt work if you're already dead…"

"Extend your neck. I'm going to drain all the blood from your body and hand it at the gates of this castle. That way, no one will ever come here again. I can present this kid's life in exchange for Crowley's; I can gain credit for it as well."

Neah cracked his knuckles in annoyance as he took over. There wasn't a Noah in the vicinity as far as he could tell, so he was at least safe as he did this. Neah's left hand, Allen's hand of Innocence shot out, grabbing the axe easily.

"Che. He's still moving. He's not unconscious?"

Neah's hand tightened around the axe, breaking it easily. "Innocence. Activate." His gaze flickered over to the skull-formation that was Allen's curse and Neah smiled softly. "Welcome back, niisan."

"You're an Akuma."

"You're a strange one."

"Oooh. Nice comeback, lady." Neah drawled sarcastically as his influence faded now that Allen regained consciousness.

"I withdraw my previous remarks. I have a reason to fight you."

Neah huffed in annoyance at having to interfere in Allen's fight, yet again. He swore that kid needed a babysitter sometimes with the manner of which he got into trouble. Neah sighed, and shrugged his shoulders. When he'd chosen to be an Exorcist, he had known his path was going to be dangerous, even deadly. As he had known when he chose to go against the Millennium Earl; it was a dangerous path.

"The first time we fought these flowers, I remembered something. When I was with Master, I took care of the same type of flowers.

"Then you can stop them?"

"Yes. These flowers won't bite humans who are kind to them. Put your heart into it, and show these flowers some love and affection."

"Got it."

"I LOVE YOOU."

"I love you too," Neah trilled, snickering slightly before being all business again, watching sadly as the two enemies; Akuma and Exorcist battled to the death. Enemies like that…nothing could ever change. Neah knew that better than anyone after his betrayal of the Noah clan.

"You stupid flower. You ugly, crap, nauseating, piece of shit flower. I hate you!"

"What are you doing, Crow-chan!"

"I have destroyed Eliade. I have no more will to live…"

"Oh my god. YOU SUICIDAL FREAK. Don't take my cute nephew with you," Neah screeched. "Get away from him if you're going to kill yourself. Get away from him, you freak of nature. Get away from my cute nephew if you're going to insult your psycho flowers."

A/N; Wheee. Neah's angry at Crowley now. xD For trying to take Allen down in his psycho suicide mission.
