Author's Note: Hey people, First off I am having huge troubles coming up with ideas for this story, so I'm sorry if it's incredibly crappy. Secondly, thank you all for your reviews/follows/favorites! Everyone who reads this story are now my favorite people ever! Thirdly, I am sorry for taking so long. I got distracted by the new Thor movie and my friend finally lent me her copy of The House of Hades… I also couldn't help but put a couple odd words in the story, so if you can find them, go you! Thanks for reading my story!
"talking"
'thought'
Chapter 7:
Allen's P.O.V.:
'Jeez, their expressions are hilarious. I mean the jump wasn't that high. They also already knew I was in town. And that I loved to have a dramatic entrance.'
"Sure we were taught better than that. Doesn't mean we listened."
"Blossom, when did yeh become spokesperson? Yeh used to not say a word unless we begged yeh to."
"A lot can change in eight years Red." With that being said they attacked.
They all seemed to remember my old weakness, my paralyzed left arm, for they all attacked my left side. At first it seemed like a good idea to them. Until I began to defend myself. What they hadn't known, was that my left arm wasn't paralyzed anymore, and since I used to always beat them in a fight without the use of one arm, it would be easier to beat them using both. Of course, I was a close-combat exorcist that used a claw to fight my enemies, so I would have a distinct advantage in that regard as well. That also gave me an advantage over my fellow exorcists when it came to dealing with regular humans, since I didn't have to use a deadly weapon.
'…Where did all the people attacking me go?' I looked around to see that only the gang leaders were conscious. 'I really need to start paying attention to these things. Someone could sneak up behind me now, and I would probably end up like my friends over there. Oh look, a piece of candy!' Bending down to grab a piece of candy, a person that was apparently behind me, lunged at where my head used to be. Which resulted in himself tripping and accidentally knocking himself out.
I straightened back up to look around. 'This place looks like a hurricane went through it. How can people make it this dirty? There's trash, clothes, and rotten food strewn all over. I could barely see the old foundations. It definitely didn't look the same. But there are still some things that are the same as they used to be. Like our old symbols. Blossom predictably had a flower, Jacob had a wolf, Carlisle had an owl, and Natalie had a diamond. My symbol is still there. It was a mask. Ironic right? But everything else seemed different in some way.'
"'A lot can change in eight years' I know that better than most." I had to make them eat their words. It was their fault they thought I had the same weakness I had back then.
"But yeh can still beat us up no sweat… That's not fair. Yeh still are that insanely impossible guy you were before. Actin' all high and mighty through town. Then one day yeh said yeh were goin' to get stuff from the next town over, but yeh didn't come back. Yeh know how long we waited for yeh? Years. We are still waitin' for yeh to rejoin us, we even left a space open for yeh." Carlisle actually replied. 'That was a huge change in attitude. One moment they were ready to kill me. Next they are trying to get me to join them. Can they make up their mind already? But they did get me to feel a tiny bit guilty. I didn't mean to leave them.'
"Can we talk about this later? I'm pretty sure these ropes are cutting off my blood circulation" I flinched. 'Forgot Lavi and the others were there… Now that I look closely, it seems that they are slowly turning purple. Is that good or bad?'
"Fine. Natalie, cut their restraints." Jacob ordered.
With that, the ropes were suddenly cleanly sliced, but it didn't seem that anyone had moved. Even the surroundings looked the same. Except for one thing. There was a dagger embedded up to the hilt in the wall. Lavi and Lenalee expressed their shock through dropped jaws and wide-open eyes. Kanda and Link slightly widened their eyes, while the gang leaders just raised one arrow while looking at Red.
"Really Red? Yeh just had to go and show off." Natalie said.
"Sorry, I just couldn't resist doin' that. It's been a while since I threw any daggers, so I thought I would be a little rusty. Decided now was a good time to practice since I had a perfect target."
"You just threw a knife at us and then you shrug it off? What person does that?! We could've been injured or even worse, killed!" Lenalee exclaimed shrilly.
"But yeh weren't, were yeh? Besides, it's a dagger, not a knife. There's a difference." Red was totally nonchalant as he answered.
"I don't care if it was a dagger or a knife! You still could've hurt us!" Lenalee continued.
"I'll repeat myself, 'But yeh weren't, were yeh?'"
"No but-"
"See? Anyway, Blossom can we stay here for a while? We're just lookin' for something that may be in town. When we find it, we'll leave and never come back. Saavy?" I asked of them. 'Hopefully they'll agree. The innocence is probably somewhere in this building and if they grant us access, then we can search it freely. Much easier than trying to sneak in. And I doubt they can sneak in here without waking up everyone in this building. They can be as graceful as fish on land sometimes…'
"Fine, yeh guys can stay here a while. Then you're gone. Got it?" Blossom demanded after their little group meeting in the corner.
"Yes Ma'am." Lavi and I saluted her.
With that, they walked off, leaving me alone with my new interrogators. 'Can I ever catch a break?... Nope, probably can't. It still would be nice to have a few seconds off from my life. It would do wonders for my complexion.' With a sigh, I turn and face Link, Lenalee, Lavi, and Kanda. 'This'll take a while…'
