Another chapter! Woot!
I didn't know what to name this chapter. So I just called it... KITTY POWERS! YAY! xD
Oh yeah, and sorry for the semi-late (In my opinion) update. My plot for this story wasn't really stable, but now that I stabilized it, I'm pretty happy.

Chapter 3:
Kitty Powers

Alyss spotted Allen's shocked look and titled her head in confusion.

"Is there something wrong?" asked Alyss. Allen quickly shook his head, for Alyss may ask all kinds of questions about the future. It's not like he wants to alter the future, now does he? If he did alter the future, then Allen may never meet his friends again. Well, it's not like Allen knows Alyss well enough to know if she's going to surround him with many questions.

"No, I'm fine, Ms. Alyss-" stated Allen. But Alyss interrupted him before he could end the phrase.

"No formalities needed! You can just call me Alyss!" laughed Alyss, "By the way, what is your name, kid?"

"My name?" asked Allen. He was about to say Allen Walker, but for some strange reasons those words wouldn't come out of his mouth. Blinking, he tried again but those words still won't come out. He even tried to scream his name, but his voice was muted.

"Are you okay?" asked Alyss, curious of Allen's behavior. I mean, what kind of person would just began to mouth something, and even seem to scream it. Alyss is not skilled enough in lip reading, though she was going to take lessons...

"Um, yes." said Allen, wondering why he can say THAT but he can't even say his own name. Might as well say something else. "My name is Al Parker. Nice to meet you, Alyss." Al Parker? Eh, might as well get used to that, since he can't even say his own name for some reason.

"Um... okay... Nice to meet you too, Al!" exclaimed Alyss, still a bit bothered by the weird behavior earlier, "When I saw you laying on the street, I was worried. Winter's approaching and I was worried you might of gotten a cold. In fact, it was raining. Who would be crazy enough to go out in such pouring rain?" Great. Now he's going to have to make some excuse. It's not like anyone's going to believe some crazy story about transporting into the past by some crazy weapon that looks like a cute, innocent kitten.

"Well... you see..." started Allen. Lucky for him, he didn't have to make an excuse. Lavi is starting to wake up!

"Lavi!" shouted Allen. Lavi started to scan his surroundings. Where was he? On his left, he spotted Allen and sat on the bed he was resting on.

"You're at my house, silly! Don't worry, I have plenty of room in my house. It gets so lonely here..." said Alyss. She then snapped her fingers and smoke appeared on her right palm. As the smoke disappeared, her golden pocketwatch reappeared. She smiled fondly at it. "I want to become a magician like my parents were... The only thing that truly ever made me happy for years was ever since I got this pocketwatch."

"If you don't mind me asking, you said 'were'. Did something happen to your parents?" asked Lavi. Alyss looked sad, but being the open person she is, she answered Lavi's question.

"My mother died from a sickness a couple of months after my little brother was born. All that was left was my older brother, me, my younger brother, and my father. When my father died from a car accident after he pushed my little brother away from the speeding car, my little brother thought it was all his fault. When me and my two brothers visited my parents' grave, we forgot to bring the flowers we wanted to place on the grave so I told my brothers to stay there as I go get the flowers. When I came back, my brothers was gone. And I was all alone..." her voice trailed off as she explained what happened that faithful night. Tears were on the verge to fall from her eyes, but Alyss thought against it and rubbed her eyes. Suddenly she smiled. If someone is sad, then the room will just get gloomier.

"But don't worry about me! More importantly, you guys! You were out in the rain! Have you guys lost your minds?" asked Alyss, smile turning into a frown as she crossed her arms. She was completely changing the topic. Besides, there is no time to think about the past when the present is already a handfull.

"No! We were just lost!" exclaimed Lavi, quickly making up an excuse.

"Lost, eh? Well, it's a good thing I found you two in time. Or else, who would of known what happened. Al and... um, Lavi was it? I heard Al shout your name so yeah... would you two like hot chocolate milk? My treat!" exclaimed Alyss. Lavi was wondering why was she calling Allen; Al, but anyhow, he nodded in approval.

"Yes, thank you. But you really don't have to-" started Allen.

"Al. It's. My. Treat." repeated Alyss with the strictest voice anyone has ever heard and the most piercing glare possible. Allen gulped and silently nodded as Alyss left the room, skipping innocently as if she hasn't done a thing. When Alyss was out of earshot, Lavi spoke:

"So moyashi, why was she calling you Al?" asked Lavi.

"For some strange reason, I can't say 'Allen Walker' when I introduced myself... Well, now I can but you get the point." explained Allen. Lavi tilted his head.

"Why not?" asked Lavi since now he can say his name but not earlier.

"I don't know. But I think it has something to do with the fact that we have been transported 13 years earlier." commented Allen. Lavi nearly choked on nothing.

"13 years earlier?" asked Lavi in pure shock. Allen nodded.

"It's probably what the akuma meant by 'get lost in the past and never come back'." stated Allen, recalling the kitty's last words.

"Hm... Maybe if you say your name you'll alter the future?" suggested Lavi, thinking about all of the possibilities why.

"So that means if we find our younger selves we can't fix the mistakes we've done..." said Allen, a little bit disappointed.

"Oh yeah! You'd be about 2 years old in this year. And that means I would be 5 years old. Hm..." thought Lavi. He then stood up.

"Hey! Doesn't your injuries hurt?" asked Allen, referring to the huge amount of bandages covering Lavi's body.

"When I was fighting that akuma, they hurted so much. But when we got transported here, they feel like nothing now." said Lavi as he removed his bandages. The scratches were gone. Lavi then stood by the pure white wall and began to do the action of pushing aside something. It was then when Allen realized that the walls were so pure white even the curtains were camouflaged in it's whiteness. Looking outside, it was indeed raining. Standing up, he looked outside. Why did it seemed so familiar yet so distant to him?

Lenalee's POV:

Lenalee skipped along the village. She has been sent to the village over mountains. Getting directions by the villagers, she has been warned the place is haunted and had many monsters around the area. But she paid no heed. Lenalee made her way northern of the village, and followed the river. As she followed the river, there was a young boy dressed completely in white except for his cap, which says Lightial on it. He was running away, face filled with panic. He then tripped onto his shoelace... again. Lenalee helped him up.

"You shouldn't run with your shoelaces untied. Here." said Lenalee as she tied his shoelaces.

"T-Thanks." said Light, blushing a bit.

"So, why were you running?" asked Lenalee. Light's eyes widened. His previous embarassment was forgotten as soon as he got it.

"They're in danger! A guy with white hair and red scar disappeared along some other guy which I have yet to meet! Jake, Clara, and Rika suddenly disappeared too! I was going to go to the police because I saw a pool of blood!" shouted Light. As soon as Lenalee finished tying his shoelaces, Lightial parted. Wait... didn't he said that there was a guy with white hair and a red scar?

"Allen!" shouted Lenalee as she ran to the mountains in a much quicker pace.

Back to Allen and Lavi's POV!:

"I brought you the chocolate milk-" started Alyss, until her face was replaced with shock, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING OUT OF BED?" she shouted, nearly dropping the tray containing the chocolate milk. The two turned to see Alyss really shocked at them.

"The injuries have healed." explained Lavi simply as he snatched one of the chocolate milk's mug. Allen politely took the mug for him on the tray.

"Thank you for the chocolate milk." thanked Allen.

"You're welcome!" smiled Alyss with her previous shock forgotten, "So, since you guys were lost, maybe I can bring you to your destination after the rain is gone."

"Uh, we're travelling, so we're not specifically going anywhere." explained Lavi, since they really have nowhere to go.

"I see. So you're going to leave once the rain stops?" asked Alyss. The two nodded. Alyss is nice, but they wouldn't want to take advantage of her.

"But thank you for your hospitality. Is there any way possible for us to repay you?" asked Allen. Alyss seemed to think about it for a moment.

"Well... I do know this orphanage at the eastern edge of the town. It's called 'Palmer's orphanage'." explained Alyss. The boys' eyes widened at the sound of the orphanage's name. "When you go outside, could you donate this money to them and say that it was Alyss Navida who donated it?" asked Alyss, as she made money appear out of thin air. The money was wrapped around a rubber band as she gave it to them.

"Alright." agreed Allen with a fake smile. Alyss smiled back.

"Thanks. So, if you need anything, just ask me. I'm going to be downstairs preparing breakfast." explained Alyss as she went downstairs. There was silence.

"So... What now?" asked Lavi.

"I don't know. Might as well rest up. Which reminds me, what happened to the kids earlier?" wondered Allen.

"What kids?" asked Lavi. Oh right, Lavi was probably unconscious for the whole time.

"The ones you've asked directions to. I ran into them and they're the ones who led me to the mountain." explained Allen.

"Them? Eh, the two girls will probably be furious because I ran off. I didn't want them to stop me." stated Lavi with a sly grin.

"Figures. So, what happened with you and the kitten? You were badly beaten up, I thought you were going to die." said Allen.

"Oh yeah, that. Well..." started Lavi.

Flashback!:

Lavi ran as fast as he can as he followed the river. Looking behind, the kids aren't in sight. Good, they haven't seen him slip away. They might go looking for him, so he better hurry up. Seeing the mountains in view, he came to a stop as he saw the sign. It's covered with colorful childish drawings. He's here. Looking behind the sign, he spotted a messed up playground. What happened here? Seeing there are no akuma in sight, Lavi went ahead and toured around the mountain.

He then came across a damp field. The field has a few muddy places here and there, but it was relatively dry. Dirt spreaded the field and only a couple of patches of grass lay there. There was a young girl in the middle of the field holding a brown kitten. Lavi passed by them until the girl began to laugh evilly. It then transformed into a level 1 akuma and began to charge towards Lavi! Lavi smirked as smashed the akuma with his already extended hammer. He saw that coming. But what he didn't saw coming was that the kitten began to launch poison needles from it's mouth! Lavi managed to dodge most of them, but one of the poison needles grazed him. Forgetting the pain, Lavi extended his hammer even more as he swung it around, but the kitten grabbed onto it. Making the hammer bigger, Lavi tried to smash the kitty but the kitten was agile as it jumped and began to run along the metal bar of the hammer. And before Lavi knew it, the kitty sunk his sharp claws onto Lavi's belly and at the same time bit Lavi on the arm with it's sharp claws. Lavi screamed in pain. The kitty took out it's claws from Lavi's belly and blood began to uncontrollably bleed. The kitty bit Lavi a bit more then began to cutely wipe off the blood on him onto Lavi's coat. The kitty then backed away and smiled to himself. It's time to end this parade. Well, he was about to destroy the puny exorcist, but however more guests came.

"Lavi!" shouted Allen, "Are you o-" then everything faded into darkness.

End of flashback.

Allen then took a glance at the window. The raindrops are slowly fading. That means they would be going soon. Before either one of the boys got a chance to say something, Alyss barged into the room.

"HEY! It's breakfast! You guys should eat before you part!" shouted Alyss as she rushed downstairs. Exchanging glances, the two shrugged as they went downstairs and ate.

Needless to say, Allen cleared the table.

"Wow! You eat so much! You're just like my older brother!" exclaimed Alyss in awe.

"Really?" asked Allen after he swallowed a plateful. Alyss grinned.

"Yup! He used to clear the table everyday. After my father died, I had to cook. I would have to cook a lot for my older brother. Even if the two are gone, I still cook a lot due to habbit. I still have many omelettes if you'd like, Allen." offered Alyss as she pointed towards the leftover eggs.

"You would?" asked Allen as he shoved the last of his food into his mouth and swallowed. Alyss giggled.

"I can't let all of this food go to waste, now can I?" asked Alyss as she brought out a plateful of eggs.

After breakfast, the two boys departed.

"Bye Alyss!" they shouted as they waved.

"Bye Al and Lavi! When do you think we'll meet up again?" asked Alyss. Lavi smirked.

"Maybe in 13 years!" he shouted, leaving a dumbfounded Alyss at her doorway.

"What does he mean by in 13 years?" wondered Alyss before shrugging and heading back home.

Allen and Lavi didn't need directions to the orphanage. Even if Allen has the tendency of getting lost. The whole walk to there was strangely silent, but neither of them seemed to notice as they head towards the eastern side of the town.

They arrived shortly at the orphanage. The orphanage was a tiny bit outside of the village, but still counted as in the village. There was a lone tree in front of the orphanage, and many rocks surrounding the area. A small child with blonde hair, golden eyes, and rags for clothes looked hesistantly at the orphanage. The child has a huge cut over her right eye, so she's probably blind at that eye. Making a decision, the little girl walked inside. As soon as she entered, a man appeared from in front of the orphanage and spotted the two boys.

"Now I haven't seen you guys around. Is there anything you guys need around town?" asked the man. The man had spiky black hair, piercing brown eyes, and strangely, wore a lab coat.

"Are you a scientist?" asked Lavi.

"No, no! I'm one of the people who takes care of the kids at the orphanage. I'm only wearing this labcoat because I think lab coats are cool. My name is Jack Palmer." introduced the man as he shot one of the most friendliest smile at them.

"I'm Lavi, and this here is Al. We're on an errand to donate money to your orphanage. The person who sent this money is Alyss Navida. So, here's the money." said Lavi as he turned to Allen so Allen can hand over the money. But Allen was frozen solid. He stared in shock at Jack.

"Hello..? Al?" asked Lavi as he began to wave his hand in front of Allen. No reaction. Lavi then just took the money from Allen's hand and gave it to Jack.

"Why thank you! This money should really help the kids here who are in need." said Jack.

"No problem, but remember it's Alyss Navida who donated this money. And please, make sure all of the kids there gets a parent." said Lavi with a sad smile. Jack nodded as he entered back to the orphanage. Lavi turned towards Allen. Seeing he's still not unfrozen, Lavi decided to shout into his ear.

"Hey Moyashi! I heard there was a shop around here that is selling Mitarashi Dango for free!" shouted Lavi. Allen immediately woke up from his trance and began to look around furiously for the certain shop.

"Where? Where?" shouted Allen. Lavi began to laugh.

"I was just kidding!" he grinned. Allen looked at his friend in annoyance as the two left the orphanage while thinking of a way to escape the past and go to the present.

"Anyway, what were you doing? You were frozen like a statue!" exclaimed Lavi, commenting on his friend's behavior earlier.

"That guy is the cruelest of them all." muttered Allen.

"What do you mean by that? He looked pretty kind to me. He's even working to take care of the kids there!" stated Lavi.

"That's an act so people can donate more money. He's all a lie." growled Allen as he quickened his pace. Lavi, wondering what's wrong with him, caught up to his pace. As they left even further away from the orphanage, Lavi heard yelling from far away.

"WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DO THIS TO HIM, DADDY? WHY! HE WAS MY ONLY BROTHER! I HATE YOU!"

"WAIT! RYAN! DON'T GO! YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!"

Lavi clenched his fists as he heard that. Allen noticed his behavior but didn't question about it. There are more important things to do such as finding a way out of here.

I just realized how much dialogue I have written. Well, I hate descriptions.

Also, even if it looks like it, this chapter is not a filler.

And I know it is kinda confusing in the end. But everything wil be revealed soon.

Last thing... PLEASE REVIEW! I know the chapters are getting boring, but I promise I will try in the best of my ability to spice it up. I think some people may object to this, but I am a noob writer that is trying her best to write as best as she can. Every chapter is a work of art... unless I get lazy which is often xD

Oh yeah, and I haven't replied to my reviews! GASP!

All of the reviews, favorites, and alerts are extremely encouraging. So once again, please review! The story will be interesting in the future! I hope.

Sorry! There is no preview today! :( I know what I said last chapter. But I did said maybe, did I not?

The reason there is no preview today is because I don't know where I'm going. I know I said I have the plot all figured out, but that is for later chapters.
