Also thanks to those who favorited, followed or read my story. I hope you review, I'd really like to know what you guys think... whenever you do I get all warm and fuzzy inside. :)

The rest of that day cruised by for Lenalee. She had a lot on her mind, and by the time the day had ended, she had no idea what they had done in her classes. Considering Allen was in most of them, she walked up to him and asked. "Hey Allen, what did we do in class today? I was sort of zoned out, so I can't remember." she said
Allen chuckled. "Don't worry. You didn't miss anything. There's no homework. Though we should probably get together and work on that project for English. The teacher moved it up from Monday to Friday."
"Yeah, okay. Do you want to come to my house? My brother said you could come over any time."
"Sure." Allen replied
they started walking out of the school building when Lavi and Kanda walked up to them. Lavi was wearing his signature grin, while Kanda just had his famous look on. A look that only he could do. "Hey, watchya doin?" Lavi asked
"We're going to my house to work on the English project." Lenalee replied
"Cool. Can we come too? We were paired up and we haven't started it yet."
"You do realize it's due in two days, right?" Allen asked
Lavi nodded. "What can I say, I do all my homework last minute."
Kanda just 'Che'd and started walking with them. "So, Allen. How come your always wearing those gloves?" Lavi asked
"Hm?" Allen looked down at his hand, then back at Lavi. "Oh, that. I was burned really bad when I was younger, and it left scars. I prefer it when people aren't able to see it. I'm more comfortable."
"What about that scar? Did you get it at the same time?"
Allen nodded, and looked down. Lavi noticed his troubled look, and stopped asking questions. The kid would tell them when he was ready. There was nothing else to it.

They arrived at Lenalee's house, and the first thing they did was get food. Allen had run to the kitchen, and was currently looking at what they had stocked up. "Wow, there's more food in here than any other house I've been in. Certainly more than mine."
When she heard that comment, Lenalee looked down at her feet. She still felt a little guilty for eating some of the little food he had. Her brother had told her that Cross probably made him work to pay off his debts, and that he probably rarely had enough to eat at every meal. Lenalee didn't like Cross. She had met him once, and she could already tell he was an irresponsible ass who couldn't keep track of his money.

Lenalee made them lunch, and let them eat as much as they wanted. Lavi and Lenalee were amazed at how much Allen could eat, but if Kanda was, he didn't show it. "H... how do you eat so much?" Lenalee asked
"I've always been able to. I guess I was just born like this. My foster father always said that my appetite was hilarious, but was making it hard for him to get enough money. Of course he was joking, but... sometimes I couldn't help but feel like I was a burden to him. He did so much for me for little in return."
Allen's eyes became sad, and he looked down at his feet. Even though he tried to hide it, Lenalee could see the guilt on his face. "Allen, if you don't mind me asking, what happened to your foster father?" Lavi asked
"He... he was hit by a car. He died... saving me." a single tear ran down Allen's face, which was still turned downward. "He was the first person to care about me, so when he died... I was devastated. I forgot everything he taught me until the street taught me all over again, only harsher. Then Cross showed up and offered to take me in. I wanted to trust somebody so I accepted. He looked at Lenalee, Lavi and even Kanda. "I'm glad I did though. I probably wouldn't have any friends if I didn't. It's worth it, even if it is hard sometimes." Allen got a sour look on his face, which he purposely exaggerated. Everyone laughed, and they started working on their projects, the former depression forgotten.

A little while later, Allen got a call. "Hello?" he answered
"WHERE ARE YOU?! GET YOUR BUTT HOME NOW!" the person on the phone took a couple of deep breaths, and calmed down. "Hurry up and get home kid. I've got a job I need you to do. Where are you?"
"Oh, master. I'm at Lenalee's house, why?"
"I need you to go home and clean the house. I'm bringing a friend over later and I don't want her to think I'm disorganized. You can take your friends with you, I don't care, just make sure you're gone when I come home. Oh, and by the way. That gang that gave you that scar are in town. They were looking for you earlier. It seems they have a grudge against you. Better make sure to watch your back." with that, Cross hung up, and left Allen sitting there with a pale face. "Hey Allen, what's wrong?" Lavi asked
"What? Oh, nothing! My master just wants me to clean the house. He said you can come if you want to."
Lavi and Lenalee agreed, but Kanda just walked our the door. "I'm gonna take that as a no." said Allen

Because they had no car, they had to walk to Allen's house. It honestly wasn't that far away, but it was getting dark. As they walked, Allen was silently panicking. What if the gang had already found out where he was and attacked them now? There was no way they wouldn't recognize him, not very many people have snow white hair. If they attacked him, and he was alone he would be fine with it, but he had Lenalee and Lavi with him. He didn't want them getting hurt because of his past.

All throughout they walk, Allen was jumpy. Lavi had noticed this, but decided not to ask. When they finally got to Allen's house, he relaxed a bit. He was just being paranoid. They couldn't have found him yet. They had probably just gotten into town, and even then they had no real proof that he was here. At least, he hoped he didn't. Maybe, if he stayed hidden long enough, they would give up and move on to the next town.

When they had reached his house, Lavi had been surprised. Surprisingly though, he didn't say anything, just followed Allen inside. They got to cleaning, and after a while they were finally finished. Lavi and Lenalee were worried. They had seen how tense Allen was walking, it was like he expected something to jump out at them. What had his master told him on the phone to make him so unnerved? They weren't sure if they wanted to know. They decided to go back to Lenalee's house. Lenalee offered that Allen stay the night, but he declined. There was something he had to do.
As they were walking back to Lenalee's, Allen was decidedly more relaxed. That was, until they felt a presence watching them. Allen knew who it was almost immediately. Luckily his hood was up, so no one could see his white hair. There was a small chance that they hadn't recognized him yet.
He really wanted to run, but he knew that it would just make the gang suspicious. He made eye contact with Lenalee and Lavi, and made sure they knew to just act normally. He knew they would question him later, and he wasn't looking forward to it. There was no avoiding it though.

As they walked, Allen hoped that they hadn't recognized him. If they hadn't, there was still the chance that they would just move on. Lavi and Lenalee knew him, and that just put them in danger. Even if he had recognized him, he hope that they would attack him when he was alone, so that the other two weren't put in danger. there was still the chance that they hadn't recognized him though. After a lot of thinking he managed to convince himself that he was just being paranoid. There was no proof that it had been the same gang watching them. And even if it had been, there was no way they could have recognized him. With luck, they never would. Most likely, they would just move on to the next place, and he wouldn't be recognized.

How wrong he was.

Okay, so this chapter went pretty much like I wanted it too. I wanted it to be a little longer, but my computer crashed when I was almost done with it, and I lost everything, so I had to restart and I still have to do homework. Again, thanks to those who reviewed, favorited, followed or read my story. I hope you review. Please tell me if you see any mistakes, I'd like to know. Tell me what you think. Until the next update.
