The new chapter of Looking for that One Girl. I should have updated earlier, but I didn't.
I want the rights to volume three. But that's all.
"Allen-Chan," came the voice of Tyki. "Your friends are almost here, so you need to get ready."
"What happened to Rhode?" Allen asked.
"She got too soft for her own good. Doing silly things like feeding you, and giving your drinking water."
Allen would have cried if she had been able to. It had been two days since she had anything to eat or drink. Not to mention that wrist and ankle shackles had been added. She was almost at her breaking point.
"Well, we should get going now," Tyki walked over to the bed where Allen was and released her limbs. Then he picked her up and created a portal to another room.
This room had two tables and a chair in it. Allen was placed on the chair and her wrists, ankles and neck were re-chained.
"Now be careful in that chair sweetheart. There's no back support and you wouldn't want to fall," Tyki said with a sadist grin on his face.
Allen just wanted it all to end.
--
Lavi, Linalee, and Kanda were finally in Mattel.
"Where to now? Lavi asked.
"We have to head to the underground Opera House. That's where they'll be waiting," Kanda said as he strode towards the centre of town.
It was a twenty minute walk towards the centre of town. As they walked they passed different areas that Allen had fought the Akuma in.
"Oh my god," Linalee said at one point.
"What?" Lavi asked.
"It's an imprint of Allen's Innocence on that wall. Whatever hot her, it hit her hard."
Looking at the dented wall Kanda grew angry. He remembered telling Allen to just go and that he didn't care. Now he wished he had watched out for Allen better.
Finally they reached their destination.
"Welcome," came the voice of Tyki. "I see you all made it on time. Except for the golem. Darn, I was hoping it would record the battle so I could watch it again later."
"Where's Allen?" Kanda demanded.
"Where's the knife?" Tyki asked.
Kanda pulled out the knife and threw it at Tyki, hoping it would hit him and kill him. Sadly Tyki just caught it.
"Oh goody," he said. "Now my collection is complete." He stepped aside to reveal two tables covered in knifes, and Allen.
"Allen!" Kanda yelled seeing the girl.
Allen tried to raise her head, but she couldn't. It hurt too much.
"Hmm, amazing how inactive one becomes when they haven't had anything to eat or drink in two days," Tyki said placing the knife on the table.
"You bastard," Kanda cursed. "Allen's body supports her Innocence. You're just killing her slowly and painfully."
"Yes, well regardless of the food thing, Allen might still die tonight. As you can see there is an assortment of knifes on these two tables. Each of you must pick one knife and cut Allen with it. Here's the catch, Allen is deathly allergic to one of the metals and you'll never make it to the hospital in time. You get to go first Lover Boy."
Kanda went to the table and picked the knife he knew was made from the same metal as his Mugen. Allen had already been cut by his sword and lived. But when he reached Allen's sad body he couldn't bring himself to cut it.
"I won't." he said dropping the knife so it fell to the floor.
"Really? She'd be much better off if you did," Tyki said.
"I'll never hurt her on purpose!"
"Your choice, can't say I didn't warn you," Tyki said. Kanda was flung against a wall with Lavi and Linalee. He tired to move forward, but some sort of force field was stopping him.
Tyki walked over to Allen's body. He unshackled her and threw her to the ground before climbing on top of her.
"See Allen? Your beloved would have me violate you then cut you himself. Isn't that sweet?" Tyki said. He turned Allen's head to the side so she was forced to look at her friends. As Tyki began to suck on Allen's neck, and his hands wandered up her thighs, Allen finally began to cry.
"Stop it!" Kanda screamed smashing his body against the force that held him back.
"But Allen tastes so sweet," Tyki said grinning.
"Well I hope you've had your fill," a deep voice called.
"Who are you?" Tyki asked.
"Your worst nightmare," said General Cross as he stepped out of the shadows.
"You! What are you doing here? Tyki said while still lying on Allen's body.
Instead of answering Cross rushed over and slammed his body into Tyki's, sending the Noah clear across the room. His body hit one of the tables covered in knifes, causing them to fall and pierce his body.
"NO!" Tyki screamed as the silver knife cut through his heart. "I can't die… like… this," his eyes shut and what remained of his heart stopped beating.
Kanda, Linalee, and Lavi were all released from the force field. They quickly ran over to Cross, who was standing above Allen's body.
"Allen," Kanda said falling to his knees beside her. He went to move some hair from her face, but his hand was swatted away by Cross.
"What do you think your doing?" Cross asked.
"I'm trying to get a good look at Allen for you information," Kanda said. "What are you doing?"
"This is what Allen would call an OPFC situation."
"OPFC?" Lavi asked.
"Over Protective Father Complex," Allen's horse voice said.
"Now then," Cross said. "Who's Lover Boy?"
"That would be me," Kanda said.
"What do you have to say for yourself? Letting poor, dumb, naïve Allen getting kidnapped, and almost raped?"
"Thank you for saving her," Kanda said.
"Humph, Allen's coming back with me," Cross said. "She obviously needs more training."
"No, she's coming home with me," Kanda said.
"If you can beat me in a fight, she'll return with you. If you lose, there's a chance you may never see her again. And if you do see her, it will only be for a short time."
"Fine."
Both men moved to a different area that was unoccupied. Then Kanda charged at Cross, sword in hand. Cross dodged at the last minute and whacked Kanda's arm with his hammer. This continued until Kanda could barley move. He fell to the floor screaming.
"I'm not done!" he yelled. "I came too far to lose her now. I've been searching for her for so many months, and she's been under my nose the entire time!"
"They I guess you should have fought harder."
"Allen!" Linalee called out.
The two men looked to see Allen running towards them in a sloppy jog.
"Idiot!" yelled Cross. "What are you doing?"
Allen didn't stop until she stood between Cross and Kanda.
"Please sensei, let me go home with Kanda and my friends," she begged.
"Why? He's not good enough for you."
"Please, I want to stay with him."
"What possible reason do you have?"
"I love him," Allen said.
Kanda's heart felt like it was going to explode from happiness.
"No," Cross said. "He only loves your body. He didn't love you when he thought you were a boy, did he?"
"Actually," Lavi said butting in. "Kanda's always had a soft spot for Allen. He saved Allen when he swore he would never save anyone. And he even has a pet name for her."
"Well all I've heard him say that he doesn't want to lose her. Never that he loves her," Cross said knowing that he was losing the battle.
"I do love her!" Kanda yelled slowly getting up. "I love her with all of my heart."
"Please sensei? Please Father?" Allen asked.
"Not fair. You know I can't deny you anything when you call me father."
"So you'll…"
"Yes, I'll allow you to return to headquarters with your friends."
"Thank you," Allen said before collapsing, all the energy from her body drained. Luckily for her Kanda caught her and eased her body to the floor.
"Take her to the train so she can get some food and water. And don't forget to have her wounds treated," Cross said turning.
"Where are you going?" Lavi asked.
"Allen doesn't need me anymore. So I'll just start traveling again," he said as a solitary tear ran down his face. His little girl had grown up.
Yeah, maybe two, three more chapters than an epilogue, I'm not capable of writing a long story. Please review.
