"Road Camelot! Come and fight!" Lavi shouts.
"Oh?" Allen recognizes her tone of voice as amusement, "and why should I?"
The female exorcist looks at them then at Lavi, "Are they Akuma?"
Lavi looks at her with a solemn face, "The girl isn't. She is human. The boy," He looks back up at them and studies Allen, "I have no idea."
"I see," her eyes fill with sadness and she looks up at them, "Why are humans with the Akuma?"
"I am not just human, but a super human. I am way different than you," Road says, "Tell me, do you know what happens to an Akuma tht is destroyed without innocence?"
The girl looks on confused, "What do you mean?"
Road grins, "You, Akuma, self destruct," Allen hates it when Road does this. She knows that he can see Akuma's souls, yet she still is going to do this. The grip that Road has on Allen tightens. At that moment he knew that Road is sorry for any pain she is about to cause him, any discomfort. She even moves her body to cover the line of sight of his left eye to the Akuma.
"But Mistress Road! I finally evolved this far! Please don't do this to me!" The begging makes Allen close his eyes and look away. Pity feels is heart for the Akuma. He feels a pair of eyes on him and looks up to see Lavi starring at him.
Road taps Lero's head, "Count umbrella."
"A-ah… ten…"
The female exorcist looks back and forth between the Akuma to Road, "What are you doing?"
"Nine… Eight… Seven…"
Road giggles, "You know what happens to an Akuma when you don't kill it with innocence?" The woman just stares on confused –"Six… Five…"— Road's smirk widens—"Four…"—"To put it simply, Linali, An Akuma," –"Three…"— "disappears into the darkness and the soul will forever be un-save-able."
"Two…"
Linali acts fast, rushing towards the Akuma. It was clear that her goal was to destroy the Akuma before it exploded. Allen hopes secretly that she will get there ini time but he knows that she is too late to make it. "Linali! No!" Lavi's voice is heard clearly.
"One-lero…" Lero finishes and the Akuma explodes. Allen clutches his left eye in pain and holds back the scream that he wanted to let out. Instinctively, Road wraps her arms and buries Allen's face in her chest to hide him from the sight. Her grin never leaving her face.
Smack! "Why did you stop me?" Linali screams at Lavi, tears streaming down her face. Lavi looks at her with a cold, blank expression. The anger surrounding the female exorcist slowly starts to go away and her face turns to sorrow.
Allen's body convulses and the scream he had tried to hold back escaped his throat and he buries his face in Road's chest. "My eye! It burns!" Road holds him tight against her and Looks worriedly at him, "Road! My eye! I can't… I… It hurts too much from that explosion! The soul! It called for me! For me to help! Gah!" Allen goes limp in her arms and only the shaking of his body told her that he was still conscious.
"That boy… He is human isn't he." Lavi says his voice cold and distant.
Road smiles sadly down at them both, "I believe I said it's none of your business. Though, do you think it safe to leave her," She points over to Miranda's barrier, "Unintended?" The flying Akuma is heading straight for it.
"Damn!" Lavi shouts and before he could move, Linali is behind the Akuma and destroys it. They both turn to face Road again but she is long gone, along with the Allen. "Looks like we have another thing to report," Linali nods her head and goes to tend to Miranda, "and another thing to put in the history books," Lavi finishes to himself. The room starts to crumble and break leaving all three of the humans to panic.
Road's door opens up to the dinning room, where all the Noah are sitting down and eating dinner. She drags Allen in causing all of them to stand up quickly and go to their side.
"Oi! Boy!" Tyki yells next to him and Road punches him in the arm.
"He isn't deaf Tyki. His eye just hurts," Road looks like she is about to cry, "I made an Akuma blow up around Allen and it hurt his eye more than any other time that any of us have done it. I think the curse is starting to affect him more and more."
"I don't know whether to take that as a good thing or a bad thing," The Earl walks up and kneels beside Allen, "In any case, we should take him to his room. He needs to re-."
Allen reaches up and grabs the Earl's arm looking up at him. His left eye completely black and the scar is running blood. "Millennie… I can't see," Stars start to fill show up on Allen's body.
"Allen!" Road starts to panic touching any skin she could, like she could stop the virus from spreading just by touch. She would hate her self forever is she causes Allen to die just because she wanted to play with some exorcists.
Allen reaches up and grabs her wrist and smiles at her, "It seems a piece of the Akuma must have hit my eye. Along with watching the dark matter suck up the soul of the Akuma, it hurt too much." Allen closed his good eye and took a deep breath. The green light of his innocence that he hates so much, lights up and his body starts to turn back to normal. Everyone gaps at him. "I learned that trick when one of the Akuma's blood ended up in my drink instead of Tyki's." He stares at the twins and they back away slowly.
Road throws her arms around Allen, "You scared me!"
Allen winces and holds his left eye again. "I still can't see and it hurts still."
"You just need some rest. It'll heal in no time." The Earl reassures. Tyki picks up Allen and carries him to his room.
"Boy, next time you decide to act like you're dying don't do it in front of Road. She may have hugged you but you know that she is mad at you."
"I know Tyki, but I also have reason to be mad at her."
"Great," Tyki sighs as he walks into Allen's room, "Just what all of us need, you two in a fight again. Last time it nearly destroyed half of the arc because you two literally attacked each other."
Allen says nothing and Tyki sets him on his bed. He covers his face with his white hair so Tyki can't see his expression. When he was sure Tyki was gone he let his tears fall. He doesn't quite understand, but he is crying for that poor Akuma. Though it may be a weapon to everyone else; something to use for their own gain. To Allen, they were much more. He grabs his sheets in his hands. This was one of the things he hated about himself. 'Akuma are nothing but weapons. Souls brought back by someone that loves them so they can be with them again. The torment is because of this. Humans are despicable. Just to have their loved ones back they would put them through them.' Allen's tears turns to anger. 'Humans deserve to die.'
Pulling himself together, Allen takes off all his clothes but his boxers and crawls under his covers. He looks up at his door to see if anyone was going to walk in. He lets out a small sigh of sadness. Allen had hoped that Road would come in and cuddle with him tonight. Though they were angry at each other at the moment, he really would need her tonight.
As if she had heard his thoughts, Road opens his door and quietly closes the door and climbs into his bed. Allen quickly grabs her and pulls her to him. His body shakes from his sobs. Road just wraps her arms around him holding him tightly against her, trying to calm him down the best she could.
They both feel asleep wrapped in each others arms.
It's a shorter chapter compared to the other one, but I tried my best. I hope you enjoyed. Please review.
