Now, ONWARDS! Innocence Activate!

My heart. My darkness.

My soul. My pain.

My life. His life.

His heart. My darkness.

His soul. My soul.

His life. My life.

Who's 'me'? Who is 'Allen'? Who is 'Neah'?

Who is who?

These are the questions I ask, whether I know am or not. They are the basis for me. For my endurance. My stamina. My purpose. My reason for going on. My me.

As the the time that is slowly running out for me, continues to flow away, my heart is further engulfed within the darkness. My soul slowly starts fading away from the silver it was, still is, for now, to the molten gold.

The molten gold. The color of fate. The color of them. The color of a tainted soul. A corrupted soul. And soon, mine will be the same.

Will I fall? Will I fall to the point of no return? Will I be forced to hurt the people I call 'friend'? Family? I will I be forced to endure the suffering that I wished would never come. The suffering that may, no will, fall on the people precious to me, if I let myself fall to the darkest depths of the hell I call my life. My destiny. My fate.

I expected to never see the people of my past again. The people who took me in and gave a reason to keep on going. To keep on walking. A place to call home. Yet I left that all behind. I left my purpose behind. And gain a new one. A much more painful, hideous, and over all, regretful purpose. I left because I was scared. Because I scared for myself, and most importantly, them. And here I am, seeing one of those few people I thought I would never see again. He was standing next to the bed I in. Just staring at me. Willing me to break the silence first. It was him.

It seems the beansprout is finally awake. He won't say much, except that accursed nickname he gave me. Tch. I may hate it, but it's what bonds us together in a way. But, he will never hear those words from me. Tch.

"Seems like you're finally awake, Moyashi, and since you are, you have some explaining to do. Now, talk."

Brash as always, it seems. He hasn't changed, not at all. I still wonder if he made the right choice. If he followed his heart. I like to think that he did, but I don't know for sure. Only he knows, and I'm pretty sure he won't tell me. If he will tell me anything at all. Sigh. Why couldn't he leave me in peace. I left on my own accord, just like him. So then, why? Why?

I wonder if I should say anything. I could try to run, but I'm too weak for that right now, and he would catch me just as easily as he did earlier. Wait, what time is it?

"What time is it?"

He finally spoke, but not what I wanted to hear. I answer him anyways.

"It's evening. its been a few hours since I found you. Don't worry, we're in safe location. So, talk, now."

I sigh, irritated. Can Kanda not talk like he was looking at the Noah all of the time? But, then again, life hasn't been fair to him. Just like me. So, I decided to just tell him everything.

"After you left with Alma, I was imprisoned due circumstances involving the Noah, the Fourteenth to be precise, and my lack of obedience. So, Central arrested me, and has had me locked up for a while. Then some priest came in while I was having one of those, um, lack of control periods, and tried to fuse with me. Then Tyki and Road came in, saved me, took me out of HQ, and from there, I've been traveling ever since. Up until recently, when I was found by Tyki, that was the third encounter I have had with the Noah, and tenth encounter I have had with the Order. All of which, except today, I have escaped. Happy?"

"Peachy."

Sigh. Kanda.

That beansprout seems to be more negotiable. He better not be pitying me! I am only doing this because I owe him, and I hate owing people, especially that beansprout! Tch.

I feel happier. It might be because I know that he still alive, my friend. My comrade. It could be because I know I'm not alone. I don't care. I'm just happy. Happy in such a long time, but it doesn't last for long. The darkness encroaches upon my mind once again. All I see before my mind goes black is his worried face. Hmm. I made him worry.

The bean sprout gave me what I needed, so now, come the hard part. Telling him I coming along with him. But, before I can say anything, he starts to sway. I instantly get worried. Then I see that his eyes are glazing over. Not good. Soon, he is in the land of unconsciousness again.

Not good at all. Tch.

I hope you like the chapter! Please drop a review! Arigatou.
