Here is chapter 6. I do have a lot of homework, especially over the weekends. So I will continue to try and at least type up a early final draft of the chapter and if I have time, I will read over it and fix any mistakes.

For what happened to Allen in the last chapter, it will be explained as this story goes on. I will say that I did get the idea from xXxPhantomxXx and I asked her if I could use one of her ideas in my chapter. All the credit for coming up with Allen's problem goes to her. So again, i do like commentary.

I will say now that this will take a slightly dark turn. So if you don't like things related to horrible imagery or death, I'd skip Allen's memories entirely.

On a happier note, I'm going to my first anime convention. So excited! I'm planning on going one day as Allen, and another as Norway from Hetalia. I could go as Lenalee but I feel its hard for me to act like her.

I do not own D. Gray Man or any of its characters, it belongs completely to Katsura Hoshino. I only own my one character, Felicity.

Enjoy reading this chapter!

Chapter 6: Allen's Memories

When Feli wakes up, it is only ten in the morning. Deciding to get out of bed, she immediately walks out of the room, moving to the living room to check on Allen once more. Feeling for his temperature once again, she is glad to see that Allen's temperature had broken and he was calmer than he had been the night before.

"This always happens. He gets very sick on this day and then he snaps back after a few hours. You know as well as I do that nothing like this can kill him. Both from his own stubbornness and his ability."

'That doesn't mean I don't need to worry.' Looking back at Allen, she continues. 'This is the first time that I've been here to witness it. Before me, he'd been handling it on his own for years.'

"He's had to deal with this since the first year he became an immortal. He's been handling this for the last one hundred and forty years. Amazingly, this is the first time that he has forgotten about it since 1878. As well as when someone had been in the same place and had watched it happen to him."

'At least it was someone he knows. If it was a complete stranger, I doubt that the person would have used the Allen's phone to call someone on his list. Anyone else would have taken him to the hospital.'

Moving away from Allen, she picks up the phone to make a call. "Hey, Lenalee? It's Feli. I just wanted to tell you that Allen isn't going to be able to come & talk today."

"What happened to him. From what I remember, he is not the type to just decide to cancel on a meeting or anything."

"Allen has a sort of problem where he passes out on a certain day every ten years. Nothing can stop it from happening, so it is best to arrange out meetup for tomorrow." Remembering something she starts again, "Oh yeah, both me and Allen have seen Kanda. He was walking on the same street as Allen when he had his incident. Kanda called me to get me to come help Allen. I drove to both of them, and I checked on Allen. Thankfully. he was fine. Kanda helped me to get Allen home. Kanda and I talked for a bit, and I learned that he does have quite a bit of his memories still in place, more so than the idiotic rabbit."

"What is it you have against Lavi anyway? As far as I know, he's yet to do anything to seriously offend you."

"I know how it looks, Lenalee, but that ass both manages to get under my skin and make my gut twist. I've learned to trust my instincts. They've never steered me wrong before."

"Can you at least try to get along with him? You act like a female version of Kanda whenever Lavi is around you."

Feli snorted at the comparison. "Well, the comparison is somewhat similar, though Kanda beats me in both height and muscle mass. Though I promise that I will at least attempt to not kill the idiot rabbit, and try to 'get along with him'. But if he gets on my nerves, I won't hesitate to throw a punch or two in his direction."

"I guess I can agree to those terms."

DGM-DGM-DGM-DGM

The mindscape was completely dark. Allen knew he'd screwed up as soon as he'd felt the wave of fatigue hit him as he stood across from Kanda. All he could hope for now is that Kanda would be the type to not ask too many questions. Straightening up, Allen prepared himself for the onslaught of memories that were coming his way.

'"What the hell is that thing?! Get that creature away from me!"'

'"Hey, freak! Have you caused anyone to suddenly lose their luck today? Cause you know as soon as it happens, you're done for."'

'"Hey, freak, get back to work or we'll get Cosimo to knock some sense into you some more!"'

Allen was nowhere near close to being done. He'd only just reached his fifth year. Memories he never knew he had. His mother who he doesn't remember… the slum kids who beat him constantly… other circus performers who took away what little food he'd had… they'd all been ready to hurt him in some way.

'"How could you have done this to me, Allen?! You've turned me into an Akuma!"'

'"I'm sorry, Mana!"'

'"I curse you! Allen!"'

One of the more painful parts of his past. Something Allen already has to live with every day, only to be repeatedly reminded of it even more every ten years.

'"So long, Shounen. Tease will take care of you know."'

'"Damn you. You stupid Noah! It's all your fault that this is happening!"'

Two that hurt, both physically, mentally, and emotionally. Tyki's attack on his arm took out his main way to fight for a time, as well as taking out his reasons behind fighting. Kanda's attack on him when Alma awoke, stabbing him. The stab wasn't the thing that hurt the worse though, those were the words that caused the most pain.

The next memory was far off from the rest. After he'd become immortal. Sixty-seven years exactly since he'd changed into the being he was now.

'Trudging through north Germany. Allen, now conscripted into the British Royal Army, walks to a camp. Bergen-Belsen. Now known as the third largest concentration camp of what was the fleeing Nazi Third Reich of Germany. Walking between other soldiers, he moves to the front to see what had stopped the head officers. Seeing what was in front of him stopped him cold.

Men, most wearing nothing but a few rags, stood in front of them as skeletons. All huddled behind a chain link fence. Looking around him through small side glances, Allen notices a few officers and soldiers huddled on the ground, gagging or simply not moving as they stared at the ghosts of the men standing across from them. Allen was the first to make a move. Taking out his knife, he goes to the gate and cuts away the wire, severely cutting up his hands in the process. Finishing up his work, he steps through, moving toward the men while taking off his coat. Finding a small boy, he moves to put the coat around the boy, not expecting him to draw away.

"Mach dir keine Sorgen. Du bist jetzt in Sicherheit. Keiner von uns wird dich verletzen."

Hearing Allen's reassuring words in his own tongue, the boy raises his arms to Allen. Slowly moving as to not startle the boy, Allen picks him up. Looking to his fellow soldiers, he calls out in English. "Bring some food and clothing! These people need it more than we do."

Snapping out of their daze, many of the men do as he says. Others move toward the gate, following Allen's lead and giving their winter coats to the men behind the fence.

As food is given to the men, the boy decides to stay close to Allen, eating his soup slowly after hearing Allen's advise. A private came up to Allen, deciding to ask him what was on many other soldiers' minds. "Captain?" Allen looks up at the private, eyes sharpening as he takes on his facade. " Could you maybe tell us… how exactly did you have such little reaction to the sight, when others wouldn't dare move?"

Eyes softening from the question, he looks down at the boy as he eats. "I used to be almost like this boy. Starving, cold, and having no hope." Looking back to the private and the others behind him, he continues. "As for your question, it's because I've seen worse things than starving men and boys. I've seen many people hurt each other for greed, lust, and many other reasons. To me, all the reasons are the same. Humans are the type of creature that has to hurt others, either different creatures or even their own, in order to feel superior, more powerful." Looking at the boy, who'd finished eating and was moving closer to Allen so he could sleep for a while, Allen smiles and turns back to his men. "It only takes a small amount of kindness to outnumber the evil that one has been forced to feel during a given point.

Feeling a tug on his shirt, Allen looks back down at the boy. Opening his mouth for the first time, the boy says, "Danke dir, mein Engel."'

DGM-DGM-DGM-DGM-DGM

Midnight. Exactly twenty-four hours after Allen had passed out, he wakes up with tears in his eyes, remembering the child who he'd saved all those years ago.

Getting up from the couch, he moves to the bedroom hallway. On his way to his room, he glances into his guest room and sees that Feli was passed out on the bed. Unsurprisingly, she fell asleep while on her computer. Going in, he turns off her laptop, pulls the covers over her, and closes the door. With that done, he moves to sleep himself, thinking of the last words the boy had said to him.

'"Danke dir, mein Engel."

Yes, I did make Allen about 155 years old. But, with how the actual series is going, it is likely he is even older than that. Another thing he shares with Kanda.

Sadly, I did decide to place Allen into World War 2. I figured it would give Allen a little more depth. Yes, he had already seen plenty of death during the war between Innocence and the Earl, but he hadn't seen anything where human cruelty had no bounds. I would think that this would make both his "white" and "dark" side more equal. I don't normally like adding something that had such a large effect on the world, but I believe that this is the type of event to cause Allen to grow more into the person he is in this story. I will admit that the last memory was somewhat difficult to write about.

Translations:

Mach dir keine Sorgen. Du bist jetzt in Sicherheit. Keiner von uns wird dich verletzen = Don't worry. You are safe now. None of us will hurt you.

Danke dir, mein Engel = Thank you, Angel.

So my first chapter of the next story, The White Demon, will be released tomorrow. Please read it and see what you think.

Please review this chapter, I like hearing commentary and ideas. Favorite and follow if you want to.
