Gack! I'm terribly horribly undeniably sorry I'm late with this chapter! I'm such a horrible terrible person for making all you lovely people waaaaaaaaait! I'm so sorryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!! I don't deseerve your revieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeews!!

Ahem…sorry, I had a Ritsu Sohma moment ignore it… Anyway I've decided that now, every other chapter will be written in Allen's perspective.

WARNING!: Another slight/major spoiler! Depends on how you look at it.


Lenalee sighed and sat back against the wall while on the stool next to Hanna's phone, she looked over at Allen, the boy was asleep again, and he'd passed out again almost immediately after thanking General Cross. The girl smiled slightly as she watched his sleeping form on the bed, at least he had some of his memories back, even if they weren't of her or his friends, he'd at least remembered Cross and his childhood before Cross. Although it did sadden the girl to know that he'd had to remember the night he made his father into an Akuma, she new how much pain it caused him to talk about it when he had all his memories. She was snapped from her musings when a voice finally answered on the other end of the receiver.

"Hello. This is Komui Lee." Was the tired reply from Headquarters, Komui had spent the whole night looking over maps of the area he's sent the exorcists to, he didn't know how it would help, but he felt as if he needed to do something to help his sister.

When she heard her brother, the girl smiled "Niisan, its Lenalee. I have good news! And a bit of bad news" she said happily, hearing her brother gasp at how happy she sounded. She waited for him to be done with his rant about how happy he was that she'd called and how much he missed her and her apparently wonderful coffee before she continued. "We found Allen-kun. But…his memory of us and his time at the Order is…"the girl took a deep breath "its gone Niisan. He doesn't remember me or Lavi. It seems he fell from the cliff and he must have gotten amnesia from the fall…" she said almost sadly. She looked over to the window "Oh and General Cross is here too! Please…Niisan, would you make sure that Inspector Leverrier knows that? Make sure he knows that they're here and Allen-kun has no memories of us or anything else, so he doesn't press charges and take my Allen-ku -" Lenalee stopped after she realized what she'd said. "I-I mean…please make sure he doesn't press charges so Allen-kun doesn't have to go through that…"

Komui smiled softly at his sisters little outburst, he knew how she felt about the boy and he knew she was going to say 'take my Allen-kun from me again'. "I'll try Lenalee. But…you know how he is…he may not believe it until he sees it for himself. Even then, he may not believe it. You need to remember that he thinks Allen is the fourteenth and is with the enemy, even if he truly has amnesia, the Inspector still may not believe." The man said signing a paper absently without actually looking at what he was signing.

Lenalee sighed "Yes Niisan, I know …I'll be sure to update you if he regains any more of his memories. Thank you. Oh, and Niisan? I'm sorry I wouldn't talk to you before… I was just…I'm really sorry…" The girl said, she felt the tears prick her eyes, but held them back as best she could as Komui answered her.

"It's alright Lenalee. I understand how you were feeling; your Brother can sense these things. Please take care. Bye." Komui said hanging up; he didn't think that adding the fact that he would never forgive Allen for stealing his baby sister's heart was quite appropriate just then, he wouldn't go into that until Allen remembered all of them for sure. Komui returned to his work, which happened to be classified files as to how he could torment Allen when the boy got back.

"Goodbye Niisan." Lenalee sighed hanging up Hanna's phone and unplugging her golem from it. The girl sighed, her brother didn't seem upset with her, and for that she was glad. Standing up slowly Lenalee made her way back over to Allen's bedside, walking past the window outside of which Lavi Cross and Hanna were talking, Brie was off playing in the woods somewhere. She slowly sat down on the chair beside the bed and took Allen's Innocence hand in her own. Lavi had told her earlier that sometimes Amnesia would wear off on its own but then the person wouldn't have any memory of the events that had happened during their amnesic state, it would all be a blank to them, but it all depended on the person. She wondered idly if that was how Allen's memory would be, she hated the thought that he would have to forget what Hanna and Brie did for him throughout the past six weeks in exchange for his memories of who he's become as well as her and the Black Order.

The Chinese girl absently stroked the back of Allen's Innocence blackened hand, it was soft despite its texture and look, and she smiled as she remembered how self-conscious he was about it before it became Crown Clown. Keeping one hand on said Innocence Lenalee moved her right hand up to brush the hair out of Allen's face, uncovering his curse-mark in the process. She furrowed her brow, it was because of the curse mark that Allen sometimes cried out in pain in the middle of the night, he thought she didn't hear him, but the new Headquarters was made mostly of wood in the floors and walls, and her room was actually above his in the new Headquarters, which was far closer than it had been in the old one. She heard every scream of pain, every moan in his sleep, and everything that was loud enough to get through his ceiling and to her ears above him. Once, she'd even heard him crying quietly and asking why things had to happen to him. This had only happened once and it was shortly after Marian had told him of being possessed by the Fourteenth Noah.

The girl ran a thumb over the pentacle above his eye, it wasn't raised, like one would think a scar should be, it was more of a mark or a tattoo than a scar. She repeated the motion, but stopped when the boy tossed his head in his sleep, it wasn't as if he were trying to get away, just that he was frightened a bit by something that was happening in his dream. Because of that speculation the girl tightened her grip on Allen's hand, stroking it instead, attempting to calm him down even if he wasn't awake. Lenalee's brows furrowed again as Allen's right hand came up to cover his eye with a slight gasp from the boy as his other eye shot open as well. It took him a moment to focus on her and he whimpered quietly from the pain that was apparently coming from his eye.

"L-Lenalee…why…why does my eye hurt so much? What happened, d-did something happen? Is something wrong with me? Why does it burn like this?" the boy asked, his right eye wide with fright as he asked her the questions she would have difficulty answering. Allen sat up and looked at her, his curse still covered.

Lenalee sighed and smiled lightly as she reached up to gently touch the hand that was covering his eye. "It's…it's because you've been cursed Allen-kun. You said you remembered the time before you met General Cross right? Well, you told be that story a while ago now, and the…Akuma, that you made by calling your father back, it cursed you to…to see the souls of the Akuma that you fight…fought…will fight, later on when every memory is back." She explained, trying to put it in terms he'd understand in his current state. "I'm sorry, but I never really understood why it activated when there was nothing to fight and caused you pain like this. You never complain, so I never asked… I guess I should have…" Lenalee said looking down at their hands, which were still held together on the quilt.

"So…the pain, it's normal for me? It happens a lot, and it's because of …of what I made from Mana's soul and that man's skeleton?" Allen asked, starting to grasp it. He smiled at Lenalee as she nodded, the pain was starting to subside a bit and he took his right hand away from his eye and put it on top of Lenalee's on his left. "If I dealt with it before, I can deal with it now right?" he said with a smile "And…if or when I get my memories of why it causes me pain, I'll be sure to tell yo-" the cursed boy stopped suddenly and looked out the window beside the bed as a gear-like monocle appeared in front of his eye. He looked back at Lenalee after a moment "S-something's coming…my-my eye showed me that they're close, are…are these Akuma?" he asked quietly looking back out the window as Lenalee nodded to his question, looking hard as if to try and see something far in the distance. He didn't look back when the stool Lenalee was sitting on clattered to the floor and she ran over to the door flinging it open, he was too fixed on the now visible approaching dots just above the tree line. He only vaguely heard Lenalee's words to the others outside.

"There's Akuma coming! Hanna-san, please bring Brie-chan inside!"


Double digits! Happiness! Woo!

We need cake now…

As I posted on the top, I so sorry I made you wait this long, I had homework piled up on the weekend and my plot squabbits only attacked me for this chapter while I was reading The Wallflower

So yeah. This chapter is just over three pages on Microsoft Word, however I'll try to make the next one a bit longer.

Also, I'm sorry if I got Komui a bit wrong there, I'm not really sure how he'd act when Lenalee apologizes for not talking to him...

Thanks to all my reviewers and please read and review

Thanks

Star

P.S. The prequel is on it's way. It should be out by Friday or Saturday, depending on whether I get grounded off the computer for failing to do my timeline for History class...
