Raimi: HEY DUCKIES! We came back with a really short chappie but don't we always!
Kanna: We love all the reviews, please keep them coming! We go through every single one and take them into account, because quite frankly...
Raimi: We're still beginners. Criticism welcome here.

Allen POV

'I dislike listening to Tiedoll coo like an overly attached mother, so very much.' Tiedoll was currently flitting about Tyki's portrait of a nude Lavi. 'It's very detailed and leaves little to the imagination. Makes you wonder how on earth the bloody idiot knows Lavi's body so well. It's not somthin' I want to deal with now. *sigh*'

I shifted in my seat as I continued my wooden statue of a little boy, looking into a mirror and imagining myself younger and rougher. I took out my magnifying goggles and my thin carving knife and steadied my hand into the rhythmic sliding I'd grown used to. The pleasant scent of flowers and the low sunshine coming from the Art rooms giant window gave the entire classroom an easy aura of contentment, surprisingly enough even the new kid Yu Kanda was giving off a tranquil aura. No easy feat when arguing with your stepfather about a painting you spent an entire ten minutes pouring your heart and soul into.

'The painting glows faintly with his aura, proving that he put a lot more thought and effort into than he's letting on. I'm a little curious about what he's drawing... Is it of some boy he once love, or a girl... I don't know anything about him. Maybe it's a pet or a dream... that would be nice... to be able to dream. I would be a normal kid with a normal future, and not the king of freaks.' Sighing I added the younger me to the scene of freaks lounging in a circus ring I made out of wood a while ago.

"That's a very detailed scene you've created !" Startled I looked up and gave Tiedoll one of my best smiles and I look that I hope said, 'Yes, can I help you? "It reminds me of when I was younger and the circus was the only place where we were safe from close minded people. He's with people who won't judge him, why does he seem so upset?" I narrowed my eyes a little, but I think I caught it before anyone registered it. Shaking my head, I forced a small chuckle from my lips.

"This poor kid has been through a lot. No family, no friends, and the only place willing to take him in is a circus... I believe he has a right to be upset." I put the wooden doll down and look up at Tyki who is now kneeling before me. "Yes. What is it that you want?" He continues kneeling but lifts his head to say,"We Noah, born of your fathers flame wonder how it is you concealed your power before we found you?" I shook my head at him and took off the magnifying goggles, "I condensed it into an orb and ate it. My powers are easily stored in my stomach and arm, keeping me relatively human until I have need for them."

Tiedoll smiles and shakes his head at Tyki who has started trying to condense his powers into a ball. 'Sigh.' "Stop trying so hard. Relax and reach into yourself and command it to manifest in the palm of your hand." Holding tyki's hand gently I watched as he relaxed and followed my instructions, and sure enough he lost his gray complexion and his slick hair frizzed up. The pride in his eyes as he saw the purple butterfly fluttering in the palm of his hand. Road jumped into his arms surprising Tyki and making the butterfly explode and it's bits quickly seeped back into his skin, turning it gray again.

Tyki sighs as he runs his hand over his slicked hair, and Road begs me to teach her. 'How about I do that instead? She will surely be surprised.' I place my lips on her and dive easily into her soul and demand her powers to follow me. I lean back and open my mouth and out springs a purple candle striped in black, so sharp it could glass. I look down at he and see her blushing heavily with her new porcelain complexion, and her violet hair now falling down to her shoulders in waves.

I hand the deadly candle to her and she tests it on her finger, and smiles devilishly at the sight of her blood. Lavi bends down to look at it and turns to me. "How did you do that?" I shook my head. "I don't know. I just feel inside the persons soul and command the magic to follow me out. Cross taught me. Come here I'll show you." Lavi crawls over to me and the look of utter fascination gives me an uncomfortable feeling but I couldn't back down. I lean and kiss him softly, and almost got overwhelmed by the amount of crazy being tamed by his intelligence, but I find my target and it obediently follows me out.

Removing my mouth from Lavi's and opening my lips, took a lot of effort and left me exhaustedly looking at the 6 hammers floating in a circle above our heads. "You have to get help Lavi. That isn't healthy." Lavi looked at me confusedly so I pointed up at his hammers, "Each one of those represents one of your personalities and the only thing keeping them together is the sheer amount of knowledge you possess. It took alot out of me to take them from you but I'm sure you can figure it out from here, after all it's part of you."

Leaning back on my knees I slowly start to sense the class again, but only one stands out. Kanda is highly jealous but also appears confused, although his face revealed nothing of the sort. 'Bloody git. why do you smell like him?' "How come you can use your powers still moyashi, don't the seals work?" Til now it was faint but the bloodlust he held earlier is getting stronger. "I cannot fully transform but I can access a good fifty percent of my powers." Turning to the class, "This class is almost over, how about we show new kid BaKanda here, our abilities? Cross will be at least an hour late anyway, plus it's only going to be us mutants."

"Of course, why didn't I think of that. A brilliant idea!", exclaimed Krory. Noise and Daisya agreed to help out too. I walked back to my project to pick up the wood carving of a man in top hat and a woman with long hair. Grabbing my carving knife, I shaved a plain smooth face for both dolls and left them blank. Grief and longing swept over me so strongly that Road and Lavi reabsorbed their power and went back to their projects. I barely noticed.

'Mother. Father. I hope we meet soon. I've been following Cross like you asked me too, but my beast is maturing faster and faster. I feel him getting stronger and without a potential mate, I have no hope of keeping control without you. The mark you left on my face has gotten bigger but Cross says it'll break soon.'

Raimi: There it is! I hope you aren't disappointed! We've been trying to start planning stories because doing these off the top of our heads doesn't give us any regular uploads. We know where this is going but neither of us have figured out how to get it there, so I'm trying to plan out things now.
Kanna: Aiming for plot. Less slash from now on.
