"What the hell happened Moyashi?"
"I might have fallen off a cliff a little," Allen smiled his through raw from being held around the neck by Tyki.
"How do you maybe fall of f a cliff a little?" he started.
He stopped speaking abruptly when one of the monitors to Allen's side started beeping madly.
"KOMUI," he shouted for the scientist. The others had moved off a ways to give them some privacy but came running back at his anxious shout.
"Move," Komui instructed moving to Allen's side. "NURSE." He shouted. This was bad.
Allen's eyes began to close again and Kanda wanted so badly to hold his hands and try to keep awake but he was being prevented. The nurses had surrounded his bed and Komui was yelling instructions, Lavi and Lenalee basically had to hold him down while he stared worriedly at the situation.
The silence was eerie in the dark night. Where was he? The ruins he was surrounded by had grown larger since the last time. Why was that?
"Good morning Allen." Allen turned to where he thought the hollow, echoing voice had come from.
"It's not morning," Allen commented half to himself and half in response to the voice.
"But it is." The voice continued. "It's the start of something new and isn't that what morning is?"
"Whether you say it is or not it is clearly night. There is a moon and stars and I can't see anyone around. That's night."
"No, night is just the end of the day. Or of something else. You need to know these things Allen. Everything you think you know means something else.
Allen became furious. Why did his emotions seem to be heightened? Was it a result of he voices, or perhaps himself, or something else?
"That's not true. What about Lenalee, she is my friend that's true."
"Wrong."
"Lavi, he's my friend to."
"Wrong""Kanda…. Kanda he…means a lot."
"Wrong!"
"How can you say its wrong."? Allen shouted into the darkness hanging his head as tears escaped his eyes.
"The perspective is wrong."
"It's not wrong if it's my own perspective. I have nothing…hardly anything except memories, and perspective. It true if it's my own."
"Not true."
"What do you mean? Who are you? Where are you? …. Where am I?"
"Here."
Allen looked down at his moving feet. When had he started to walk? He stopped at the edge of the frozen sea. The music was really becoming intolerable…wait music?
Allen looked into the water. However instead of his own reflection he saw Kanda's face.
"What are you looking at moyashi? I don't see anything interesting."
Allen broke down into tears. He collapsed onto his knees by the side of the water.
"Yu. I- I want to go home. I don't like it here. Yu, I need you. Yu."
A wave of dizziness came over Allen as he cried and he was startled to find himself leaning forward into the water. Slowing tipping, he fell forward and broke the surface.
"He's waking up! Nurse quickly get the painkillers."
Was that Komui's voice? No it couldn't be he wasn't in the other world was he? Did that mean he was home? How?
Allen was wracked with confusion and pain as he pried his eyes open. He moaned, he couldn't move without being in pain. After he moaned he felt a short stab in his arm, then the pain was gone.
"Allen? Are you with us? Can you hear me?"
Allen finally had some success in opening his eyes and as he glanced at his surroundings he tried to remember where he was and what had happened.
"Oi, moyashi get up already." There that voice. It was Kanda. Allen shot up only to have the pain return full force. He felt hands on his shoulders as he curled over his stomach.
"Steady Allen, we don't know what's wrong with you so you have to stay still."
That was Komui again. Allen looked up, standing around him were most of his friends. Lenalee, Lavi, Komui, and Kanda.
"Krory and Miranda were here to visit you before but they went on a mission." Lenalee told him.
Allen was thankful when Kanda turned the attention away from himself.
"Do you think this had to do with his injuries from the Noah?"
"Well, it was either that or…*cough*…the potion." Kanda twitched. "Did you just say potion? Haven't you being trying to find an antidote to that?"
"Well…not exactly. Like I told Allen there is no antidote."
As Kanda reached to his hip to draw Mugen Komui made swift moves to placate him.
"I only said there is no antidote, I didn't say I hadn't been trying to get something to remedy it."
"So did you succeed?" Lavi asked.
"Well, not exactly as you can see he still has ears and a tail.
Kanda turned dangerous again. "Do you mean you have already applied this 'potion' to my moyashi?"
"Well…yes."
"What does it do?" Lenalee asked trying to draw Kanda's ire away from her brother. Even though he probably deserved it.
"I don't know yet."
They all sweat dropped. Komui was obviously using Allen as a guinea pig for his experiments again. When will he learn? Lavi thought to himself as the nurse started patching their leader up (Kanda and Lenalee had attacked sure enough).
Kanda turned to Allen.
"Does it hurt?" he asked concerned.
Allen shook his head the pain had gone away as soon as he was fully awake. He wasn't sure if that was because of the painkiller or not though.
Kanda gripped his hand. Allen opened his mouth to speak to him when some type of resistance met him. What was that? It felt like his throat was half the size it used to be, like something was blocking it. He tried again.
"Nya." He squeezed out.
They all turned to stare at him. Allen made a look of extreme concentration.
"Ny-Nya!"
Kanda's mouth flopped open. So that was what Komui's potion did. Allen held a hand over his cat ears as Lenalee squealed.
"Kawaii!"
Obviously Lavi was thinking along those same lines as he tried to glomp the poor boy. He was punched in the face by Allen's paramour.
As he couldn't reach Allen to hug him he resorted to clinging onto Kanda's arm, which was admittedly a bad idea.
" Get the fuck off of me you retard."
"But Yu-chan he's so cute."
"Keep your perverted eyes off of him baka usagi."
"Hentai! I wasn't even thinking like that. You obviously are though. WOW! I never thought you were capable of those types of thought Yu-chan."
Kanda twitched and reached for Mugen. "I'm not, and don't call me by my given name."
As Kanda began to chase the rabbit around with his katana in hand Allen stepped off the bed. This was fantastic. How was he going to order dinner now?
"Hey Allen," Lenalee sidled up to the boy. "I think you have shrunk a little." She said delicately.
He had of course and to make it worse his pants were almost falling down. Unfortunately for Allen he wouldn't fit into any one else's clothes either. The closest to his size were Lenalee and Johnny, and he wasn't even that close to them. Lenalee was a women and he wasn't quite as short as Johnny though he was more skinny and masculine.
"Meow…. Nya." Allen tried to speak again.
"You know I can't understand you right Allen."
Allen hung his head depressed until Lenalee grabbed his arm.
"Come with me I'll fix it up," she said as she was dragging him out of the infirmary.
Kanda had almost caught the rabbit and decapitated him when Lavi suddenly stopped causing Kanda to run into him.
"WTF?" He asked.
"Weren't Lenalee and the moyashi here a second ago?"
"Crap, Lenalee got hold of him."
Allen was shaking his head furiously his tail lashing from side to side. Nope, he wouldn't do it. He had to draw the line somewhere.
"Come one!" Lenalee urged trying to pull him out through her bedroom door.
"Nya!" Sensing that was a no Lenalee let go of him to send him falling to the floor from the recoil effect. She grabbed his feet and started pulling.
"Come on Allen, if I have to drag you like this all the way to the cafeteria, you won't get any food for hours and the dress will come up."
Yep, you heard that right. Dress. Taking him to her room Lenalee insisted that a dress was the only article of clothing that would fit him in her wardrobe. As sure as Allen was that she was lying she had locked the door with her key and hidden it somewhere he couldn't get it. She had basically stripped him as well and set fire to his clothes. She was seriously of her rocker, a complete nutter. A fan girl of neko boys and yaoi obviously which put Allen in a dire situation, as he was covered in both categories.
"Nya-ha-ha-ha…" he sobbed to himself in a cat like manner.
This just caused the girl to become even stranger and as she managed to get the dress over his head and zip it up she grinned triumphantly.
"There. That wasn't so bad was it Allen? At east I'm not going to do your hair or put any make-up on you." She said this but Allen still didn't trust her words as she had a strangely speculative look on her face.
As Allen didn't want to miss out on food or get made over by Lenalee, he walked out of her room himself. His shoulders slumped over and dragging his feet Allen made his way to the cafeteria with his arm being held in a death grip by Lenalee.
"Oh, wait till everyone sees you. It will be awesome, you're so cute Allen."
"(Freak) Nya," Allen said quietly to himself.
"What was that?"
"(No-nothing) Meow. Nya-Hahaha," Allen rubbed the back of head with his hand as he covered for his insult glad she couldn't actually understand him at the moment.
It was with mixed blessings when Allen and Lenalee met two of their friends in the hallway leading to the cafeteria.
There were a number of thoughts running through Allen's head as he saw them. The two most prominent were; oh crap and I guess I'll be missing out on my meal anyway.
This was an accurate thought as well because as soon as the duo had seen the neko boy they stopped dead and their draws dropped.
"Strike!" Lavi shouted punching his fist into the air.
"Keep your eyes off of my moyashi Baka Usagi or I'll kill you." Kanda told him. The tall Asian man then turned to Allen.
"I forbid you to enter the cafeteria dressed like that Moyashi." He pressed.
"Nya (You forbid WHO)?" Allen demanded. To prove Kanda wrong he walked up the half quickly and stepped into the dining hall. The three friends waited patiently for Allen to come running back and hide behind Kanda. Which he did.
"(Keep Jerry away Yu) Nya…Nya!" Allen pleaded almost crying.
Kanda sighed; Allen was such a girl sometimes. He almost laughed at how appropriate that comment was seeing as Allen was dressed in a dress.
He took a moment to look down at Allen. The dress was certainly not something he would have expected Lenalee to have. It was a short, little, gothic Lolita type dress. The frills and ribbons made it look cute and hid very well the fact that Allen was a boy. The dark purple, white, and black colours accentuated Allen's hair and skin tone almost perfectly. Hot!
Under Kanda's intense scrutiny Allen began to blush and fidget. Seeing this; Lenalee and Lavi grinned evilly at each other.
"You know I think you should hide Allen in your room until we can go find some clothes that will suite him more." Lavi said grinning.
"Why can't he go to his own room?" Kanda asked grumpily.
"Because that's where all the perverts will look first. Imagine all the people who say him with his cat features in that dress. I bet the cafeteria was crowded with people who saw him and are dying to get a piece of his little ass." Lenalee said.
Kanda glared at her. "You're the one who put him in it in the first place."
Regardless of what he had just argued against Kanda grabbed Allen's hand and lead him rapidly to his own room.
"This will be fun." Grinning evilly the two deviants contemplated a serious of lascivious thoughts before heading to Lenalee's rooms to see if their camera was working. Perverted voyeurs.
Kanda; "Exactly what do Lavi and Lenalee think we're going to do?"
Allen; "Hey I thought I was supposed to be the innocent one? What do you think people do in their bedrooms BaKanda, drive steam engines?"
Rei; "No need to get snippy,"
Lavi; "easy for you to say, you aren't being forced to spy on two of your best friends as they do the dirty."
Rei; "Thank god,"
Allen & Kanda; "WHO SAYS WE'RE GOING TO DO ANYTHING?"
Rei & Lavi; "Who do you think?"
Rei; "Aren't you forgetting something Allen?"
Allen; "I don't think so….wait. Oh Yeah…..Nya!"
