Kanda jumped in to the gate.
He felt like he floated in the air when he was in side, but it was too dark, so he closed his eyes.
When he heard that his foots landed on ground, opening his eyes, he noticed he stood in the center of the room, everyone in the room looked at him.

Allen flinched, he started shaking his head.
"No, no, no, no, no ,no, no." he said, covering his head with his hands.

Lavi and Bookman soon noticed that Allen acted weirdly.
Even Neah stood up, but he didn't say anything, he just observed the situation.

Kanda noticed Allen lying on the couch.
Kanda took a step forward, what happened to him?

"Are you the one who he brought in here?" Bookman asked, giving Kanda a serious gaze.

"Yeah, that's him alright" Neah answered.

"Get out" Lavi shouted "Get out now!"

"Tch." Kanda hissed. "You're throwing out a man even when you haven't heard him speak?"
(Meaning: That you react before you listen)

Bookman lifted his hand up, trying to tell Lavi to stay silent and stay still.
Lavi just waved his hands in the air, and lied down sideways on the floor having his arm as a pillow.

"I just want to know what happened. I haven't told anyone about seeing you, if you're worried about that" Kanda said "Can you tell me?"

Bookman walked over to Kanda and tried to put his hand on his shoulder, but was too short. So he waved his hand, telling Kanda to follow him.

"I tell you about it" he said. And Kanda nodded and follower Bookman to the next room.

"Are you sure you want him to know?" Lavi pouted, after they left the room.

"If he knows A let him know B" Allen answered. Neah just nodded.
(Meaning: If he knows the beginning let him know the rest)


Bookman told Kanda about Allens past, skipping some parts like, being friends with Akuma, but still telling him that the Akumas gave him the scar.

Kanda and Bookman came back. Bookman nodded to Kanda.

He slowly approached Allen who was laying in the couch. Allen flinched, noticing that he approached him.

"May I sit here?" Kanda asked and pointed on the floor next to the couch. Allen didn't say anything, so Kanda sat down.

"I'm sorry to hear about your past. I know that feeling having a shitty past like that" Kanda said.

Allens eyes widened. "Oh" was the only thing he said though.

Kanda continued "Well I was kinda thrown out of the house when I tried to help my friend, and we were just kids and nobody did really help us." Kanda gave a sad smile. "I know I can't speak for the rest of the village, but I'm sorry. I should have met you hell-of-a-lot sooner, so I could have helped you too"

Allen raised his head, looking at Kanda who seemed as the person who doesn't lie.

"Really?" he said.

"Yeah" Kanda grinned.

Even though they hadn't known each other for very long, even though Allen slammed a book in Kandas face when they met, they soon opened up for each other.
Allen explained to Kanda how hard it was to even walk to the village, have to dye your hair and wear gloves and long sleeves even if it was summer. Kanda nodded.

Kanda flinched though when Allen told him that he or Neah used to go to the village at night, because the view was so beautiful and you could see stars. That because of that there was nothing better to do, they used to sing on the roof top. Now known in the village as the 'Witches praying'.

Kanda faintly asked Allen "Do you know what happened to the 31 villagers in the village"

Allen flinched, his whole face turned pale.

"Yes, I killed them" Neah said.

Kanda stood up, walking to the mirror.
"Why did you do that, they did nothing wrong!"

Lavi sat up "Why did your patrol shoot Allen? When he did nothing wrong?"

"That was after though" Lavi, Allen, Bookman and Neah thought.

"They did what?" Kanda turned around with a shocked face.

"Yes, he's under treatment, he fell down the roof when he was shoot, his spine didn't break, but it took the turn to the worse when he forced himself to move." Bookman said, walking to Allen and checking his body.

"If he hadn't walked in to Lavi, we wouldn't have noticed him and then he would probably had been dead meat" he continued.

Kanda was shocked, was Allen treated this way ever since he was born?
Had he always lived here, alone with Neah?
It's like keeping a butterfly in a cage, because the people are too afraid that it eats people.
Even Kanda had a shitty life but he atleast experienced it, seeing the world.
Allen was kept here so he wouldn't be killed.

"Allen, would you like to see the inside of the village, instead of looking at the shell?" Kanda asked, turning his gaze up to the white mirror.

Allen looked confused at Kanda. "Yeah, but.."

"No buts are accepted" Kanda pouted.

"Yes?" Allen shrugged.

"Good" Kanda said, and turned his gaze on Allen giving him a warm smile.

Bookman and Lavi looked confused at each other. What the hell just happened.
Neah chuckled, trying not to laugh.

But inside everyone was happy, that someone out there cared.
Not only listening and following to the damn fable that the villagers had made.

"But Allen has to be cured first" Bookman said.

"Yes, I can wait as long as you want" Kanda replied. He was used to waiting, he knew that feeling very well.

Allen just smiled, even said a small thanks to Kanda.

Kanda took out his pocket watch and noticed that 4hours had gone fast by.
Alma!

"Excuse me, but I have to get food ready at home" Kanda said.

"But you can eat here" Lavi answered, he wasn't really trusting Kanda yet.

"I could, but my friend at home can't get food himself" he replied.

"A cat?" Lavi narrowed his eyes.

"No, a person. Well, almost like a cat. He's disabled" Kanda said and sighed.

"Oh, is that so. Well you gotta hurry then" Lavi grinned.

Neah sat down on a chair and pushed himself closer to the piano.
He cleared his throat, and looked at Allen.
Allen smiled and closed his eyes.

Neah started playing the piano and Allen sang.
It sounded so beautiful, even Kanda gazed them with awe.

The gate ripped open, and Kanda waved his hand and walked in to the gate.
When the gate close, Lavis grin turned to a serious face. He didn't trust Kanda at all.


Meanwhile at Komuis:

Komui was at the bookstore today, buying history books.
He brought them home, even Lenalee was surprised how messy the kitchen table got after 5minutes.
There were papers, books, files everywhere. Even if you could go around the table, it took a time to spot Komui.

"Nii-san, what are you doing" Lenalee said, she was utterly confused, not knowing what her brother was doing.

"Researching history" Komui replied.

"About what" Lenalee broke out, giving a sigh.

"About a scar" he replied.


Kanda got out of the gate and stepped in to the forest.
He was surprised how dark it was, even if it was summer.
He soon rushed home, step by step, almost flying away from the ground.
(It's a saying here that you almost fly away from the ground if you run so fast ^_^)

He slam opened the door, and walked to Alma.

"I'm sorry Alma, I had to work some extra" Kanda lied.

Alma flinched "You lied, you even skipped work, that's what I heard from your boss who came by today."


Everyone has a coin in their life.
The coin gives you two choices, but you can only choose one.

Now, now, think about it like this.
You tie two persons on each side.
One of them is disabled, but has friends, even if he can't walk the same path as them.
The other one is rumored, and has no friends, even if he wanted them.

You flip the coin into the air, and watch it spin.
Wait for one of the sides to turn up, squashing the other side, killing it.
You can wait or choose.

But you have to choose soon or the coin will fall itself.
Kanda was soon to get to know this.
