Chapter 7 - Broken
It was a busy day at the hospital. Lenalee had been running around tending to the many patients whose symptoms were acting up or who were simply seeking attention. It was lunch time when she finally could allow herself a break. Carrying the tray with her lunch, she headed towards the table where her fellow colleagues were waving at her.
"The govenor would like to remind all citizens to give full assistance to the Pentru in searching..."
The nano visual display at every table was screening the afternoon news. Scenery of the Main World City flashed across the screen as the news reporter spoken on about an attack in one of the research laboratory that happened 1/2 a year ago.
"We always get the news late," grumbled a brown-haired nurse, as she chew on her pasta meal. "By this time, whatever criminal they are chasing would have ran off."
Lenalee turned her attention to the news. Afterall their brother was working there. She hoped he would not be involved. She could not believe her eyes when the familiar faces were brought up on screen.
"The world renowned scientists Komui Lee and Bak Chan, were unfortunately viciously murdered by a young man whom we believed was a test subject in their laboratory."
"BROTHER!"
Lenalee stood and launched at the nano visual display abruptly, only to have her hands broke thru the airy display. Tears of disbelief streamed down her cheeks as her colleagues tried to hold her down. Her screams rang through the cafeteria as the next photo was brought up.
Pale skin, asian features and raven black long hair.
Yuu Chan.
"The Pentru is looking for this man, who is believed to be the murderer and had escaped to this city..."

It was a quiet day in the Lee residence. Lavi had went out to submit some of his writings due for magazine publishing, leaving only Yuu and Allen to take care of the house.
Yuu lazed on the couch, a book in hand as he watched Allen playing with Timcampy, the odd golem that seemed to be Allen's favourite pet and at the same time has a penchant for biting on Yuu's hair. At the back of Yuu's mind, a hazy picture of the white hair boy whom had often appeared in his dreams was also playing with the same golden golem. The beautiful grey eyes turned their attention to him and Allen flashed him a bright smile.
A small smile tugged at the edge of Yuu's lips. He seldom smile, but he always felt like he could and he should when around the boy.
Suddenly, the peaceful atmosphere was broken by a sharp loud bark from outside. Immediately Yuu tensed, his senses told him of approaching danger as chills ran down his spine. He quickly pulled Allen to his side and grabbed the sword that had never left his side.
Seconds later the windows broke, the front door was kicked in as men in military uniform rushed in, guns pointing at the duo. Allen let out a scared scream and clinged onto Yuu as the youth glared with fury at the intruders.
The Pentru!
"It must be fate, we have met again, exorcists."
The men at the door parted ways for a man in suit. His skin was a strange ash gray, making his dark grey clothes blend into his body. Dark curls framed his face as his devious grin threatened to split his face. But what alarmed Yuu was the piercing golden eyes that seemed to eat into his heart, with glee.
Who...
"Get away from him Allen!"
Lenalee pushed passed the man, trying to reach the boys but was roughly held back by the soldiers.
"Lena-sis!"
Yuu tightened his hold on Allen, hissing in anger. Something deep in his soul was telling him that the golden eye man is very dangerous. He had to Lenalee and Allen out of the place.
"Allen!" Lenalee struggled with the soldiers.
"Let him go you murderer!"
Allen looked up in shock, unable to comprehen what his sister just accused of the dark hair youth.
"He killed Komui, Allen! He... he.. HE KILLED BROTHER!"
Lenalee cried, tears streamed uncontrollably down her cheeks as she tried to reach out for her younger brother while still being held back.
Yuu's face paled at the accusation.
"Yes, little boy. You better leave this man now, he is very dangerous." The golden eye man smirked.
"This is a lie." Yuu hissed.
"Believe me, Allen. Lenalee." He tightened his grip on the boy's shoulder as Allen struggled to get free.
"No...no... you came from the lab.. I should have knew!" Lenalee cried. Broken free of the men's hold, she lurched forward towards the duo.
At the same time, Allen broke free of Yuu's hold and ran.
"Catch them!"

With a bag of pastries in hand, Lavi headed to the Lee's residence in a relax but brisk pace. Just as he passed by a houseware shop, the news that was on the screen displayed at the window caught his attention.
"... is believed to be the murderer and had escaped to this city..."
Lavi stood in shock for a second, bag of pastries fell onto the ground, as he stared at the familiar face of the raven haired youth on the screen.
"Shit!" And he took off, dashing towards the Lee's.

Lavi cursed silently as he rounded the corner and took in the sight of the damaged house, swarmed by soldiers. He was weighing his options when a shrill scream broke through the air.
That was Allen.
"DAMN IT!"
"Innocence Activate."
It was an awfully sad yet strangely happy feeling as he felt the familar weight of his hammer shape weapon in his hands. Pulling up his hood and scarf to cover his face, Lavi dash into the surprised soldiers guarding outside the house, swinging his hammer wildly, forcing the soldiers to jump or roll away.
The hammer broke down a wall and Lavi gasped at the sight he hadn't expected to see.
Sword drawn, stained with blood, Yuu was standing wide-eyed in shock in the center of the room. Several soldiers were lying around, injured or dead. Standing in front of Yuu was a man with features that Lavi would not forget, could not forget for his whole life. Even if he wished to, he prayed for, the golden eyes and grey skin would forever burn in his mind. The man grinned wide, almost making him look insane as he tightened his grip around Allen, who had fainted.
Lavi's heart stopped as he saw the body lying in blood at the man's feet.
Lenalee.
No movement, except for the pool of blood growing larger underneath her. The clean cut wound on her chest was obviously made from a sword.
...
It took a few seconds before Lavi started to act. At the moment, it's too late to save Allen and Lenalee, but he at least have to get away with Yuu.
Lurching forward, he slammed the hammer head on the ground, hitting up a cloud of concrete dust and stunning the people. Following through his momentum, he grabbed Yuu by the waist.
"EXTEND!"
With Yuu firmly in his hold, they shot through roof. At the corner of his eye, Lavi spotted a gleam of gold as Timcampy fluttered out from nowhere and quickly snugged into his pocket.
"La...vi..."
"Hang on Yuu, we are getting out of here."
"A...Allen...Lenalee... No..No...NOOOOOO!"
A/N: Hi! I'm so sorry it took forever for me to update and... sorry for cliffhanger! Frankly speaking I dislike this chapter, it was hard to write, really hard. T^T.
And... I'm looking for a fic again. The story is about the DGM characters being all elemental spirits (or something to that) and Allen was trapped/killed by Road with her dark powers, in a crystal. Kanda kept him in his basement and grieved, until Lavi and Tyki found out and Tyki used his powers to free Allen. If you know what story is that, please let me know. It's been very frustrating wanting to re-read some nice stories but unable to find them back!
