Chapter 6

Road was leading through twisting hallways, and Allen was sure he'd never find the way to his room again. Finally, they reached a door guarded by two Akuma. Allen, however wasn't as weak as before, and he just barely winced when his eye activated.

'You will get used to it.' Cooper told him in is head

'How do you know?'

'Because I have.'

Allen was about to question this but remember that when he got drunk that Cooper also got drunk so it make sense that Cooper would also be ably to see the souls of the akuma.

'You are right might as well get used to it' Allen once again noticed he actually was comfortable around the Noah, or at least Road, and the nagging buzz was getting weaker by the hour.

"Ready Allen?" Road was actually a bit serious. She didn't want to put her family or Allen in danger, but she felt reassured when Allen determinedly nodded his head. So, ready to get it over with, Road threw open the doors and announced her presence.

"I'm here! And I brought Allen too." Sitting around the table are five Noah, all staring at the boy behind Road, except one who is quietly sipping milk from a tea cup.

"I'm here to." Cooper said in a bored tone and walked up to Allan putting his arm around his left shoulder

"Hey there, shounen."

"Hi." Allen tries to hide himself behind Road, but she abandons him by the door and makes a running leap into the Millenium Earl's lap, and when he tried to hide behind Cooper the arm around him held him in place.

"Good Morning Millenie!"

"Good Morning, Rodo. I'm glad to see you brought Allen-kun." Road happily nodded and the Earl took an curious glance at the quivering ex-exorcist.

"what am I chop liver?" Cooper said throwing his arms up dramatically letting go of Allan.

"Please, sit." The Earl gestures at a chair two seats away from him. Allen stands for a moment before shuffling to the directed chair.

"Hii! Isn't he that general's apprentice?"

"Yeah, Jasdero! What's he doing here?"

"Jasdevi, your questions will be answered later. Eat." The twins sank back into their chairs and messily shoveled food into their mouths. Allen sunk into the intimidating chair and watched a maid come to him carrying a tray of food and Cooper stud behind him.

Once Allen had sat, Road got off of Millenie's lap and sat between Allen and the Earl.

She gratefully excepted the plate placed before her and watched Allen stiffen at the Akuma maid serving their food.

"Don't worry. Just relax, Allen." Allen followed her advice and lowered his stiff shoulders. But before he picked up a fork, his face flushed.

"Er..."

"Shounen?"

"W-well, I-I have a pretty big appetite. Can I g-get some more food please?" The silverette's face had turned a dark red as he stuttered out his sentence. Tyki didn't see what was so embarrassing for him.

"Of course. You. Bring out an extra course."

"Um, make that three extra courses." Allen called out to the maid. Tyki tilted his head and stared at the boy. He saw him shrink farther into his chair.

Allen didn't know why he seemed so nervous. Maybe it was because of how mannerly everyone was.

"Are you sure you can eat all that, apprentice?" Devito sneered.

"Mmhmm." Almost as soon as Allen had asked, two maids had come into the dining room carrying the three trays of food. After a short struggle of finding where to place the plates, Allen picked up his fork and began to eat as cleanly as he could. He was sure not to dirty his fresh gloves and he even used a napkin on his face after every few bites. Although he was eating slower than usual, he was done with his food before everyone else. Not even Lulubell had finished her milk.

Road giggled at Allen's appetite, gaining another blush. The Earl was the first to say anything.

"It must be the innocence." Allen nodded watched Road eat, mentally willing her to eat faster so he could get out of the silent room.

"Yep sense he has both of us it tacks a ton of energy from him." Cooper stated pointing to Allen's arm and then himself.

"What?" Tyki looked to the Earl for an explanation.

"Parasitic-innocence wielders eat an unnatural amount of food to make up for the stolen energy that the innocence uses when activated and for all of the energy that and remember how much Neah ate that is because Cooper uses their energy as well sense he the 14th innocence but not as mush as the parasitic-innocence because of him having is own energy as well." Allen was surprised the Earl knew that, but he made no comment on his words.

"That reminds me Cooper how do you replenish your own energy?" Allan asked.

"Well that is simple watch this, akuma come here." Cooper called over to one of the akuma and it looked worried but came over to him any way.

When the akuma finally got over to Cooper he put his hand in the air and his sword appeared in his hand, now that I got to look at the sword it looks a lot like my crowned clown sword.

He then stabbed the akuma in the chest and instead of exploding in to purple dust it started to be absorbed by the sword and then in to Cooper.

"What did you just do the soul, you absorbed it?" Allan asked a bit mad that the soul was not set free.

"When I kill something that has a soul I absorb the soul and it becomes a part of me, it also replenish my energy and depending on if the soul is powerful it can add to my power." Cooper told him to calm him down.

"Ok at least they where not destroyed complete." Allan said now calm.

"Next question. Why do you have crowned clown?"

"Because me and crown clown once one being until we were split in two made into two different innocence. That is why I can use crown clown and why crown clown is such a lively innocence." Cooper told him and Allen seamed to except the answer.

"Anymore questions?"

"No."

"Ok"

"Ne, Millenie, I'm full. Can me and Allen go play?" Millenie stared at Road for a while before finally letting her go.

"Don't go breaking anything, alright? And don't leave the black ark."

"Alright-y!" Road jumped up and rushed Allen out of the room, pulling him by his collar.

"Hay Road careful don't go and hurt him now!" Cooper yelled and ran after them.

"What do you want to do, Alle~en-kun?" Road asked while she pulled him down a hallway.

"Erm," Allen didn't reply for a moment, "I don't know. I was normally bust with missions at the black order and I really only talked to the scientists for my free time. That or trained."

"Ehhh!? You never played anything?"

"Well, I played the piano in the ark." Road didn't respond immediately, but then she pulled him into a room very suddenly.

"Here then. Play for me." Allen looked and saw a black grand piano in the corner of the room with the lid propped up.

"Do you know any songs?"

"A few." Allen didn't exactly know the songs, but he could always seem to find something to play when he sat in front of the piano. So, he walked to the corner of the room and sat on the bench behind the ivory keys. He rested his fingers on the piano and waited for a melody to come to his head.

"Here." Allen heard the beginning of a song flow through his brain and he put all his concentration on the melody. Softly, he began to play, gaining confidence the further he got in the song. As he played, he lost all awareness of his surroundings and started to sway along with the tempo. He didn't notice when Cooper or Tyki slipped into the room and sat next to Road on a couch near the piano, nor did he notice the black cat that had strode into the room as well.

After a few minutes of playing, the volume started to lower and Allen realized he had shifted to a whole different song; a lullaby that pulsed with quiet and loud accents and then morphed into a faster melody that became more intense, like a battle. Allen's fingers were moving across the keys rapidly and he wasn't aware of pressing the keys but just heard the song spilling from the open lid. After about six minutes of playing the sharp lullaby, the song finally ended. On a drawn-out, soft chord.

Allen snapped back into reality and looked around the room to see a smiling Road, smug-looking Tyki and a proud-looking Cooper.

"What?" He asked timidly.

"That was amazing, Allen." Road complimented Allen on his playing over and over again, soon being joined by Tyki. Allen denied each compliment and instead turned his attention to the cat lying in the morning sunlight that was coming through the window.

"A cat?" The said cat open a single golden eye and stared at Allen.

"That's Lulubell. I'm pretty sure you know her." Allen jumped at Road's words and quickly looked away, so as to not be rude.

"Ne, Allen, can you play another one? Tyki wants to here you play more too." Tyki frowned at Road, but he didn't deny her statement but instead reached in his pocket for a cigarette. He also pulled out a silver lighter and lit the rolled paper on fire. Allen winced at the action as thought of his master came to his mind. Road seemed to notice his reaction.

"Ugg, Tyki, can't you just quit those things? Or at least have the decency to smoke outside so you don't poison other people's lungs?" Tyki sighed and reluctantly stuffed out the burning stick. Allen sighed and turned back to the piano.

"You do know your Second point is invalid seeing as that can't kill Noah and it won't kill me." Cooper said only to be stabbed in the arm by one of Road's candles.

Allan then rested his fingers back on the piano and searched his borrowed memories for another tune. As he was searching, his thoughts strayed to the most recent memory that he had just dreamed of that morning. Before he knew it he was sucked in, and a barely heard the bang of multiple keys being played at once as his head struck the keys.

"You're ready for the next part of the transformation."Allen heard Neah's voice whisper and lost consciousness.

"Allen?"

"Shounen?"

"Crap crap crap."

Lulubell stood back on all four paws and shifted to her human form.

"It seems he transformation is continuing."

"So early? But I thought he'd be fine until tonight!" Tyki had gotten up and went to pick up the sleeping boy.

"The boy seems to be allowing the 14th to transfer it memories easily. He's given up resisting them. It's much less painful that way."

"It must have been the songs he played." Cooper said.

Tyki, now holding Allen bridal style carried him out of the room with Road, Cooper, and Lulubell following him. While they were walking, Cooper was using his powers to make sure that the pain was not too bad, Lulubell shifted back into her cat form that she was much more comfortable in. When the group turned the corner, they stumbled across the twins shooting each other.

"Keep it down. Someone's sleeping." Jasdevi stopped their war and spun to Tyki's voice. Then they saw Allen in his arms.

"Awww! Is the apprentice sleepy?"

"Hii! Sleepy, ne?"

"Shut up!" Striped candles phased into being, their points aiming at the giggling twins.

"Yes mam."

"Hii! Scary Road!"

"Thanks Road." Tyki slipped past Jadevi and Lulubell followed, her tail brushing against his ankles, Cooper what by them to focused on Allan to bother doing any thing to them. Road, the last one passed by glaring at the mischievous boys.

"If you do anything to Allen-kun within the next few days, I will personally give payback and you'll be spending more than a few nights in my dungeon." The two winced and backed into the wall, gulping.

Road finally left them but her candle's still floated around the twins. Once she was gone they moved, but the candles followed their every move. They found that where ever they went, they had an army of candles stalking them. It then they realized Road's threat was more than just a threat, but a promise.

Meanwhile, Road had caught up to Tyki, Cooper, and Lulubell just before they made it to Allen's room. When they entered, Tyki took Allen to his bed. Road moved the covers out of the way so that she could cover him once he was in.

But as soon as Tyki let go of Allen, Allen started to twitch and a light sheen appeared on his forehead. Road slipped into the bed and with held a giddy laugh when Allen clutched at her arm once she laid next to him.

Tyki pursed his lips, but she ignored his expression and pulled the covers over her and Allen.

"Road, are you really sleepy?"

"Of course, not but can't get bored in my dreams, so I'll sleep with Allen today." Tyki flushed at her words and a twinkle sparkled in her golden eyes.

"You're such a pervert, Tyki." Tyki just growled and left the room. Surprisingly, Lulubell didn't follow. Instead, she jumped up on the bed too and curled up on Road's blanketed lap.

Road grinned at the black cat. Then she put her head next to Allen's, and studied his face. She noticed his face seemed relaxed, but she could feel that his whole body was tense. She ruffled his bangs and smiled to herself.

No, she'd never get bored of Allen.

"Hay Road still remember what I said to you?" Cooper asked.

"Yes."

"Good." Cooper said and then sat on the floor near the head of the bed.
