Second part of the previous chapter. And introducing the Noah's =3. Unlike in Dragon here they'll be part of the good guys.

Oh and there is a 99,99% chance that both the Millennium Earl and Malcom. C. Levellier won't make an appearance in this story. At all...

I hope you enjoy reading this as much as the previous chapter ^^


The next morning Allen was awoken by Kanda who was gently shaking his shoulder.

"Please master let me sleep for 5 more minutes."

"Che. Whatever you want moyashi, just get off of me so I can go to the toilet."

Still half asleep the companion simply rolled over and released his master. The Japanese teen snorted but otherwise didn't comment.

He made sure to get out of bed as quickly as possible in case the fox-boy decided to use him as a pillow again.

Ten minutes later Allen groggily opened his eyes. After blinking a few times he decided that now was probably a good time to get up and see if his master needed him for something.

"Master where are… Oh master Alma you're back!"

Standing behind the kitchen counter was indeed the older Japanese male, making breakfast. And if the smell was any indication he was making eggs and bacon.

"Yeah, but I got only back like 5 minutes ago. Kanda is in the shower by the way."

Seeing that the companion was standing unmoving in the doorway he added: "Something wrong?"

"If you don't mind me asking but why?"

"Why what?"

"Why are you back here so early? I thought that you were staying at Madarao's house…"

Realizing what he had just said, Allen slapped his hands in front of his mouth and turned a bright red.

"I'm so sorry master Alma! I didn't mean to …"

"Relax kiddo I don't mind. You see the C.R.O.W.s have been requested to go on a mission together."

"Without the exorcists for back-up?"

"Uh-uhm, just C.R.O.W.-members. We are supposed to go to Transylvania in Romania. There are some rumors going on about a Vampire being in the area."

"Like count Dracula?"

Alma laughed a little at that. "I'm sure he's long dead so no need to worry about him. Beside he's just a fictional character. Morning Kanda! Do you want breakfast?"

The – still half wet – teen nodded and seated himself. Patting the stool next to him he gestured for Allen to sit down.

"So what are you two up too today?"

"Sister-complex wanted to speak to us."

"Probably about the new uniforms."

At the blank looks he received Alma elaborated.

"The science department developed this new material that should protect us against attacks from ghosts and Ectoplasmic Creatures. So they decided to give each of us an individual uniform."

"Individual uniform?"

"I'm sure that Komui will be able to explain things better." The Japanese man glanced at the clock and cursed.

"Shit I've got to go or else I'll miss the plane. Bye, bye be good without me!"

"Moyashi go take a shower after breakfast and then we'll leave for Headquarters."

"Yes master."

Kanda sighed, he had given up on trying to make the companion call him by his first name. Allen would do this for approximately half an hour and then start calling him master again.

Finishing breakfast he watched the albino walk towards the bathroom to get ready for what the exorcist was sure to be a exhausting day.

XOXOX

When they walked into the garage Kanda was surprised to find the car missing. It took him a few seconds before realizing that Alma would have probably used it to get to the airfield.

"That leaves us with the question of how to get to headquarters."

"Uhm is something wrong master?"

"Tch…"

Allen took that as his cue to shut up. Silence reigned the garage until the Japanese teen's eyes fell on something hidden beneath a blanket.

"Moyashi do you trust me?"

"Off course I do."

"Then go to the hallway closet and take out the two helmets you find there."

The fox-boy nodded and dashed up the stairs. He let himself back inside with the set of house keys that brothers had given him after arriving home from New Orleans.

Opening the closet that his master had indicated he saw that the mentioned helmets were those used by people riding a motorcycle.

'No way master Kanda wouldn't…, would he?'

Turns out his master would. When the albino returned to the garage Kanda was checking up on something on the sleek silver motorcycle that now stood in the middle of the floor. Well at least now he knew what had been under the blanket that the Japanese teen had been eyeing.

Kanda pointed towards the dark red helmet and said: "Put that one on." He himself the dark blue one on his head.

Once both helmets were firmly in place, he placed his companion on the second seat before sitting in front of him. As soon as he felt Allen's arms around his middle he sped off.

The ride to the Black Order was hell for the poor fox-boy and by the time they finally arrived, he held Kanda's jacket in such a tight grip that the latter literally had to pry the albino's hands off.

"Are you okay?"

"I will be. In a minute or so…"

"You're not used to many things are you? Like riding a motorcycle or flying in a plane to name a few."

"Not really. Cross only let me out of the house when he wanted me to play poker."

"somehow I can see him doing that."

"Master can I ask you something?"

Kanda did not reply verbally but he did not as he walked inside the building he had just parked outside of.

Once inside the lobby – where it was warm – they walked toward the front desk together.

"How do you know my previous master?"

"Everyone here at the order does. After all Marian Cross had been one of the best exorcists before he disappeared almost 7 years ago."

Allen could not answer, instead he looked at the older teen like he had just grown a second head.

"I take it then that that bastard never told you."

Still unable to talk the fox-boy simple shook his head. Arriving at the front desk the girl behind it – a brunette with her hair in two braids and wearing glasses – squealed when she caught sight of the companion.

Said companion didn't knew how to react on that and so he just hid behind his master's arm. Looking shyly forward.

"Lou Fa if you page Komui. That is if you can stop ogling my partner for long enough to do that.

The girl – Lou Fa – did not miss the warning in that sentence and did as she was told. Kanda's wrath was renowned around here and nobody wanted to encounter it…

"There done, the Chief is in the medical ward with doctor Sheryl. He asked if you could meet him there."

Nothing was said and the Japanese teen just walked away through the door while Allen was so friendly – and stupid – enough to thank the girl. His effort was rewarded by another earsplitting squeal.

XOXOX

The hallways of the Black Order resembled a labyrinth more than anything else and thus the albino was forced to grasp his master's hand in case he lost his way. Somehow getting lost here did not sound very appealing to him.

"How can anyone find their way here," He hadn't even realized that he had voiced his question out loud until Kanda answered.

"Years of wandering around the place. I remember one of the scientist getting lost, it took us a week to find the him."

Allen gulped and tightened his grip. At long last they stopped in front of an open door leading to what was the medical ward.

"Ah Kanda good to see you. If you'll follow me to my office I have some things to discuss with you. Allen you stay here. The Order would like a report of your health."

The man next to the scientist now turned to look at the albino.

"Hello little one, my name is Sheryl Camelot and I'll be your doctor for today. Now if you'll be so kind as to strip and take a place on the table. Oh you can hold on your underwear."

With a frightened look – he did not trust this doctor – he turned to look at his master.

"It' s okay. I'll be back before you know it. And I'm sure that doctor Camelot won't hurt you." A glare was directed to said doctor, who started sweating really hard.

"I'll treat him like a real princess…"

"You better." And with that the Japanese exorcist left the room.

Allen did as the scary looking man asked of him. Well maybe the man wasn't really that scary with his long curly hair, tanned skin and golden eyes. But there was something in the way that he carried himself that just screamed 'PERVERT' in bright neon letters to the albino.

"Let's get started all right?"

XOXOX

One hour later and the examination was almost over. So far they had determined that Allen was in perfect health if a little bit underweighted and on the small side for his age. But then again that could be an side-effect from fact that half of his DNA is that of a snow fox.

Sheryl Camelot had also drawn blood and injected him with various vaccinations so that now his arm resembled more a needle cushion that something else. For the most part the eccentric doctor worked in silence sans a command here and there. Like now.

"Right all that is left is a prostate examination, if you would please pull of your boxer short."

Needless to be said that the albino's eyes nearly bulged out at that. "What are you going to do?"

"Well seeing as the man's prostate is placed inside their ass I'm afraid I'll have to put my finger up there."

The smirk accompanying the sentence was enough for the frightened companion to jump of the table and make a run for the door.

"Oh no you don't."

Thin arms that belied their strength wound themselves around his waist and he was pulled back to the table he had vacated only moments ago.

But Allen wouldn't go down without a fight and so he scratched and bit whatever piece of flesh was in his way. Sheryl was cursing and crying out in pain all the while trying to get the companion's boxer shorts off.

"What the hell is going on in here?"

At the sound of Kanda's very angry voice Allen was released and once his feet toughed the ground again, he ran towards his master, throwing himself in the Japanese exorcist's arms.

"Really Sheryl that was low even for you. Besides I thought that you liked that Tokuma kid?"

For the first time the fox-boy took notice of the man standing next to Kanda. He looked a little bit like Sheryl only with shorter hair and a beauty mark under his left eye.

"It's Tokusa and I don't like him!"

"Could have fooled me." The mystery man replied, lighting a cigarette in the process.

"And I would appreciate it if you wouldn't smoke in the medical ward Tyki."

The man called Tyki shrugged and moved outside. Leaving a frightened Allen and furious Kanda alone with – a now scared – Sheryl.

"I'm only going to ask you one more time. What were you doing to my companion?"

"I needed do perform a prostate examination before I could finish the report for Komui."

"And…?"

"And what?"

"Why were you trying to undress him?" Barely concealed rage was heard.

"He wouldn't do it himself and I felt no need for shy little boys to make me stay here longer than necessary."

A sigh and then the master turned towards his companion. "Please do as he says."

"But master…"

"ALLEN!"

Big grey eyes began leaking tears and at that moment Kanda felt like a real asshole for the first time in his life.

"I'll promise to stay with you if that is what you want but let just get this over with."

Allen did as he was asked but refused to let go of the Japanese teen's hand. 5 Minutes later Sheryl declared: "All done. Now if you'll excuse me, some people still have work to do." And he left the room.

"So what did Komui say about those uniforms master?" The albino asked while putting his clothes back on.

"Nothing, he wanted to talk to me because we have a new case."

"We?"

"Yes you're going with us again."

When the companion was finished dressing Kanda pulled him close in an awkward hug, before placing a soft kiss on his forehead. "I'm sorry I yelled at you. How are you feeling?"

"Tired."

"I figured as much. Let's go home so we can pack and go to sleep."

"Where are we going for the mission master?"

"Haunted house in Transylvania." Kanda replied while picking up his almost asleep companion. He would ask Tiedoll for a ride home and come get his motorcycle on another day. The way Allen was now there was a chance that he would fall off.

'Why do I even care?' It was strange indeed. He never really cared about other people except for maybe Alma but ever since meeting Allen all he could think about was keeping the kid safe.

'Fuck it, I'm really getting soft!'


TBC…

And next chapter will be the start of the Transylvania-arc.

Anyone who can guess who the vampire is? It's really not that hard ^.~

Please drop a REVIEW ! They make my day ^^

Hugs and kisses

P.S.: I've been doing a bit of calculation for this fic and it will be at least 20 chapters long:

Next is the Transylvania-arc (2 chapters), cuteness (1 chapter), Japan-arc (1-2 chapter(s)), cuteness (1 chapter), and then finally the disappeared village-arc (3-4 chapters, maybe longer) before the epilogue. After which it will finally be completed.
