(I'm not describing their clothing since I know nothing about fashion, so use your imagination. :3)

ALLEN'S POV

Allen, of course, changed using the clothes that were in his room, dressing in all white as he would have in his past life. Kanda, on the other hand, had to go to Road's room, where she dressed him in a surprisingly good combination of black and white. Road skipped the whole way down the hall, singing and twirling with glee. Although it was clearly aggravating Kanda, Allen couldn't help but smile at that. He had always thought of her as a little sister. Of course, he and her wouldn't always get along - mainly because the occasional amnesia Allen was cursed with - but he could never bring himself to hate her.

"Allen's home~", she sang repeatedly.

Tyki just walked and smoked silently, occasionally taking a peek at Allen and Kanda but never once glancing at the dancing child. Kanda was the only one who finally spoke up. "Will you be quiet", he growled loudly, losing his patience by the second. "You're giving me a headache!"

"I don't take orders from you", she spat, turning around and sticking out her tongue at the end of her statement.

Kanda rolled his eyes, growled, and, when she turned around and continued dancing and singing, Allen chuckled lightly. "Maybe you should listen to him, Road. Kanda has a pretty short fuse."

Kanda made his infamous "tch" noise and Road whined, "Awe, but I wanted to sing for you, Allen~! Tyki~!" She turned to pout at the tallest man in the room, trying to get him to help her out.

He looked at her out of the corner of his eye, probably checking to see how serious she was, before closing his eyes, sighing, and saying tiredly, "please don't bring me into this."

"What?!" Road jumped on Tyki's back, making his eyes grow wide and he grunted in shock, dropping his cigarette to the floor. Thankfully, the floor happened to be marble. "You're supposed to have my back, Tyki-pon~~~!"

"Get off", he barely choked out around her choking grip around his neck. "And don't call me that!"

"Tyki-pon~~~~", she continued, pretending she hadn't even heard him speak.

"Allen, help me out here, would you?!"

Allen completely ignored Tyki's cry for help, choosing to look at the wall rather than the man who had killed him. Although he wanted to go at him, he knew the noah was his only hope and savior, so he'd, at the very least, have to put up with him and try to gather the strength to make peaceful conversation. Everyone paused, seeming to notice this, but Allen continued walking. He didn't know where he was going but didn't want to have to confront Tyki - not just yet. Road slid off of Tyki's back, running up to the boy so she stood in front of him and had to walk backwards just so he wouldn't run into her.

"What's wrong, Allen", she asked, a little more seriously.

"Nothing, Road", he responded, smiling with that fake smile of his in an attempt to get her off of his back.

She opened her mouth to speak again but was cut off by Allen's casual but serious voice. "Please just drop it, Road. I don't really want to talk about it, right now."

By this time, they'd reached a couple of white double doors with golden swirls decorating it. "Okay", she muttered, obviously still sounding worried. "Well, we're here, then."

She opened the doors, revealing a ballroom with white walls, a golden marble floor, and a golden chandelier, hanging from the ceiling. The entire room was built with gold designs decorating the walls and the red curtains. The last time Allen was in this ball room, it was decorated in only black and white, having a black and white checkered floor and black curtains. A lot's changed in such a short period of time, Allen thought.

A ribbon hung from the ceiling with "welcome home, Allen" written on it and round tables with red cloths that had white swirls decorating them surrounded the room. On top of those tables were food, wine fountains, and chocolate fountains and all of the Noah were standing around, silently grabbing food onto small plates and sampling them. The only two who caught Allen's eye were Skinn, who was by the chocolate fountain, filling a mug with chocolate and, drooling over his suit, and Cheryl, who was playing the piano in the corner of the room. Everyone was dressed nicely, making Allen glad that he'd changed despite his suspicions.

"Welcome home, Allen~! Isn't it beautiful", Road says, giggling and twirling around the room.

"It's different", Allen says nervously.

Tyki put his arm around Allen's shoulders and leaned onto him, causing the boy to nearly fall under the noah's weight. "Welcome home, boy."

Behind him, Allen heard Kanda "tch". The angel pushed the noah of pleasure's arm off, still pretty mad that he had killed him. Allen continued walking but immediately heard Tyki huff, just before he grabbed the boy's arm and pulled them out of the room and out of sight from the rest of the noah.

As soon as they rounded the corner of the hall, the usually calm noah began his furious interrogation. "What is your problem?! Ever since the incident in the forest you've been so distant. I was acting on the Earl's irrational orders-"

"To kill me", Allen cut in, speaking with no emotion.

"Yes, to kill you. You act like it was the easiest thing for me to do - I was hurting too!"

"And yet you chose the Earl over me."

"I can't disobey the Earl - you know that."

"Just like me and Mana did?"

"And then had to live your lives on the run, eventually being killed and eternally banned from reincarnation. Yeah, that's definitely an option."

Road hopped around the corner and onto Allen's back, giggling and saying, "So~, why don't you come back to your party and explain to everyone what happened after your reincarnation - everyone's curious!"

"Uh", he started, not wanting to have everyone's attention on him. "It's kind of a long story..."

"So? Everyone wants to hear - it's storytime!" She grabbed Allen's wrist, ignoring the boys' protests, and pulled him off to the ball room, nearly dragging him across the ground.

After returning to the ball room, everyone stood in a semi-circle with Allen in front of them. "So...", he began. "Where do I start..?"

(Omg, I swear I thought that this would be the end but I kind of wanna do a flashback. xD I'm gonna upload the next chapter probably tonight or tomorrow - only two are left for real this time! Also, sorry for the late chapter. c:)
