Tyki sighed heavily as he returned to the arc. He'd somehow failed to kill Walker yet again and it was really starting to annoy him. Maybe he should give him to Road to look after. He'd probably want to die after a little while of that, but God only knows what Road would do to the boy, and Tyki would like to keep it that way.

He opened his bedroom door, hoping to take a nice long rest before the Earl realised he was back and told him off for not killing Allen. Again. Honestly, why couldn't the boy have just stayed dead?

He was about to step into his room when his brain caught up to his eyes and he stopped moving. His mouth opened in shock and he looked at the scene for a moment before slamming his door shut and resting his back against it.

"No." He said firmly then reopened his door, hoping to find the horrifying vision gone.

In his room were about ten babies in Exorcist coats, all of them clearly representing different Exorcists, one of them Tyki recognised quickly by the red hair and eye patch and another he recognised by the sour expression and sword pointing at the red head.

There were also all the Noah's as babies and Tyki sniffed the air worriedly and smelt paint. Road had painted the babies.

One could ask how exactly Tyki knew it was Road, but then again, out of everyone who could have done it there was only one person who would have done it, and that was made clear by the candy wrappers and absence of a particular white haired Exorcist.

Tyki paused in his thought as he wondered just what Road was planning on doing to that particular baby. He really hoped his worries were unfounded.

He shut his door again and walked off a little bit and then called out "Road!" very loudly, hoping she wouldn't hear the anger and not come.

Luckily she didn't seem to and she came skipping alone and wrapped her arms around Tyki. "What's up Tyki-pon?" She asked innocently.

Tyki glared at her. "Road. Why are there babies dressed as Noah and Exorcist's in my room?"

Road seemed only to become happier at that. "Oh! You found them! I'm so glad! I've been looking for them all day!"

Tyki's eye twitched at this. "Road, I think you should take the babies back to where they belong."

Road pouted at Tyki. "Naw! But they're so cute and-"

"No Road. Take them back."

Road shuffled a bit. "But, um…"

Tyki sighed. "Please tell me you know where they came from."

"Of course! I've had 'the talk' you don't have to worry about that!"

"That's not what I meant Road."

Road pouted again and sighed. "But Tyki-pon! They're so cute! I even made one of you!"

Tyki's eye twitched again. "Road, please, for what's left of my sanity, take them home."

"But-"

"No buts! Take them back." Tyki ordered, to which Road pouted and sulked off.

Tyki watched her and sighed. "She's not taking them back, is she?" He asked rhetorically and closed his eyes for a moment. "Maybe I can just ignore them. There are plenty of spare rooms." He mused to himself.

A moment after that the Earl appeared, as he often did, only this time it was…different.

"Hello Tyki-pon."

At that moment it clicked and Tyki understood why he hadn't noticed before. He didn't want to. "Yes…" He said, having managed to forget what the Earl had said in his shock.

The Earl had a baby version of himself perched on his shoulder and a second baby on his head dressed as his hat.

"Tyki-pon, are you paying attention?"

"Huh?"

The Earl sighed. "How's Allen Walker going?"

Tyki paled and managed to look away from the babies. "Uh." He responded, not too keen on admitting he'd failed again.

"I see. Not to worry Tyki-pon, I'm sure you'll get it done some time."

Tyki knew he was in trouble so didn't bother to correct the Earl's name for him. "Uh, yes, I should probably go now." He said, his eyes drifting back to the baby hat.

"No no Tyki-pon. Stay for a while."

"Earl-sama, please don't call me that."

"Ho ho ho, come Tyki-pon :heart:."

Tyki sighs and follows the Earl as the man leads him down a corridor past Roads room. Suddenly there was a baby's scream and Tyki looks at the door worriedly.

"Oh, don't worry about that. You'll get used to it."

"Get used to it?" Tyki yelled in shock and opened the door almost violently. "Road, what-" He froze at the sight…

Dun dun dun! What is Road doing to Allen baby? Hahaha, sorry about the long wait! Promise it won't take as long next time, but that'll be the last chapter!
