Chapter 11 – One Memory

Lavi, Bookman, Kanda and Isaac have returned to the Black Order after their mission. They are in the command room to explain to Komui about the mission.

"I'm sorry chief Komui, but we didn't retrieve the innocence." said Isaac.

"Che, that's because you let the girl get away." mutters Kanda.

"Give me a break Kanda, the girl is safe!"

"My, it looks like you guys aren't getting along." said Komui.

"No, they're getting along just fine." Lavi said optimistically

"SHUT UP STUPID RABBIT!" roars Kanda.

"Now Kanda lets just settle down and talk about your mission." said Komui, "So, you guys mentioned a girl. Is she the wielder of the innocence?"

Everyone nods their heads.

"You let her get away, but she is safe. Can you describe the girl more please?" Komui asks.

"Well, she has red hair, crimson eyes and she wears either beige or a dark brown robe. She also wears a golden mask. When I last saw her, she told him that she can't stay here and she took off." said Isaac.

"Why did she take off?"

"I'm not completely sure. She didn't give me a reason before she left Venice."

"Ah, I see. Do you know about her whereabouts now?

"No, she never told me where she's going. All she told me is "I cannot stay here" and that's it."

"Well, I'm going send a group of finders to look for her. Meanwhile you men should be free to do whatever you want."

"Yay, we finally get some free time!" Lavi jumps.

"No Lavi, you are going to study your research." said Bookman.

"Oh come on you old panda, I deserve some free time."

Bookman suddenly gets in a panda suit and kicks Lavi.

"Stop calling me an old panda you ignorant fool!" he snaps, "Now hurry up and don't goof off like last time."

Lavi sighs and said, "Fine" as he follows Bookman out of the command room. Kanda che'd and leaves the room as well. Isaac takes off his coat and shows it to Komui and asks, "Do you think you can adjust the size of this coat?"

He looks at the coat and said, "I guess I could give it some more adjustments. I'll do it when I got the time."

He takes the jacket from Isaac. Isaac's stomach growls telling him that it's dinner time.

"I'm going to go for dinner now." he said.

"Okay, I'll give you your coat when I'm finish with it."

He walks out of the office and heads to the kitchen. Once he got there, he walks up to Jerry for his order.

"Well hello Isaac! What can I make you this evening?" Jerry asks.

"I would like some fresh salmon with veggies on the side." Isaac orders.

"Okay, one dish of fresh salmon and veggies coming right up!" Jerry said as he starts preparing the food.

Isaac looks for a place to sit while his food is being made. He sees Lenalee sitting alone at one table, eating her Chinese noodles. He approaches her and asks, "Mind if I sit with you?"

She looks at Isaac with a smile and says, "No, go ahead."

He sits next to Lenalee and they chat for a bit.

"So how was your first mission?" she asks.

Isaac shrugs his shoulders and says, "It wasn't that bad. Lavi kept calling me Bubble, Kanda was being a jerk, I don't know what his problem was, but I know he doesn't like me. On the train, Lavi drew on our faces while we were sleeping. I thought it was funny how he drew on Kanda's face. Lavi's mentor, Bookman seems to be a nice man, but he seems serious. If I were his apprentice, I wouldn't be calling him an old panda."

"I GOT ONE SALMON WITH VEGETABLES ON THE SIDE READY TO GO!" calls Jerry.

"That's my order." Isaac said as he got up and receives his dish from Jerry. He came back to the table and ate some of his fish.

"When I got off the train, I saw a girl." he said softly.

Lenalee looks at him puzzled and says, "A girl?"

"She's the one who claims the innocence. She has an ability to see innocence within people or items. Her eyes can also shoot laser beams. The village was being attacked by akuma. We manage to defeat all of them; however, the girl who I mentioned left the town. I tried to talk to her, but she ran off."

"Why did she run off?" Lenalee asks.

"I not sure why; all I know is she told me that she couldn't stay here and ran off. My assumption is probably because her father died or that she didn't want to put the town in danger." Isaac assumes.

He finishes up his fish and says, "Well, at least she's safe."

Lenalee shook her head and says sternly, "The akuma could be chasing her right now. Wherever she goes, she could be in danger."

Isaac blinks in confusion.

"But she could possibly be safe." she adds.

Isaac smiles in relief, hoping that Katarina is safe. Lenalee gets up and says, "Well, I'm going to help my brother in the command room. I'll see you later."

She walks away and leaves the kitchen. Isaac looks at her as she left and blushes.

Allen is in his room after dinner. He may not like being around the Noah clan, but their food is delicious. He had steak and vegetables for dinner and Road was feeding him, hugging him and kissing him at the table. He wishes she could give him some space. Sheryl kept scolding him for being around Road, even though Road is throwing herself at him. Sheryl's daughter complex is just as bad as Komui sister complex. Allen made sure that his door is locked so nobody could bother him. He lies on the bed refusing to sleep, but what's the point, there is no running away from this curse. At some point he is bound to sleep. He also wants to talk to Neah. He doesn't want to be his enemy, but he doesn't want him to take full custody of his body. He closes his eyes and falls asleep.

In his dream, he saw Road, who is on her bed holding his unconscious adopted father, Mana, who is younger than he remember. Neah is standing before them angrily, seeing that his brother is unconscious. Allen looks at a door, which is crack open and spots an old man, who has black eyes.

'Bookman?' Allen thought.

The old man looks younger than Bookman; however, if Neah existed in this time, then this dream takes place 35 years ago. He could possibly be Bookman from 35 years. Suddenly, Allen was in an open field. Allen looks around and sees Mana. He is staring towards a tree and sees the Millennium Earl, holding a dark haired woman's corpse. The Earl stares at Mana and says, "This is your entire fault, Mana D. Campbell. You brought this tragedy onto yourself."

Allen looks at the dead woman and back to Mana. Apparently this woman is someone Mana love and cares. Mana's tears are flowing off his cheeks. Allen glares at the Earl for killing that woman Mana cares about and blaming her death on him. Allen is about to attack the Earl, but a sudden darkness appears. He is no longer in the open field. This area is dark and foggy and Allen looks around to see where he is until he is push into a chair, which has wings on it, and he is suddenly chained up. Allen struggles from his bounds, but it is no use. A silhouette figure appears in the shadows and says, "Let me take over from here."

After hearing that voice, Allen recognizes that this voice belongs to Neah.

"Neah, who was that woman Mana's grieving over?" Allen asks.

The fog clears away to reveal Neah, whose eyes are closed and his head is facing down.

"That woman…was…our mother." he said sorrowfully.

Allen couldn't help but pity him. He understands what it's like to lose someone you care about.

"I'm sorry about your loss. I felt the same way when I lost Mana." he said.

Neah looks at his adopted nephew and asks, "Why do you hate me?"

Allen stares at him Shockley and asks, "What makes you think that?"

"Well, you were resisting me and forgotten that promise you made to me 35 years ago."

"I don't hate you Neah, I was resisting you to protect my friends and I can't recall making a promise 35 years ago if I'm not born. I don't want to be your enemy; I want to know more about you."

Neah turns away and says, "You cannot protect your friends for very long." and he walks away, leaving Allen chained to the chair.

"What do you mean?!" Allen calls, even though Neah already left.

"No, I can't let you harm my friends!" he shouts.

It is morning and Road is skipping to Allen's room. She knocks on the door and sing, "Allen~ It's breakfast time~"

The door opens and she saw Allen standing before her. He is in his Noah form and is dressed in similar clothing as Tyki and Wisely. His body is currently being controlled by Neah. He stares at Road with mix feelings. He did love her before, but after she attacked Mana, he hated her. Neah didn't know why he spared her life 35 years ago. Due to the fact he is wearing a shock collar, he couldn't attack her. He only gave her a smirk and says, "Good morning, Road."

"N-Neah?" she says staring at him. She also has mix feelings for him. She was mad at him for betraying the Noah Clan, but she still loves him; although, she also loves Allen, but he and Neah share the same body. She smiles and gives him a hug.

"Oh Neah, I missed you so much!" she says cheerfully.

Neah stands there confused. He pulls her off and asks, "Y-you still love me?"

She nods, even though he betrayed the Noah family 35 years ago. He looks at her puzzled. He still is mad at her after attacking Mana, but in a way he still loves her. He lets her hug him again. He wraps his arms around Road and hugs her back. They pull back and Road says, "Let's go have breakfast."

Neah nods as they hold hands as they head to the dinning room.

Triforce: Hi guys, thank you for reading, though I could of written it better.

Allen: What do you mean?

Triforce: Well, I could of written something different about Neah's memories and I couldn't decide if Neah should like Road or hate her.

Allen: Are you sure Road and Neah loved each other 35 years ago?

Triforce: I'm not exactly sure, but it is somewhat noted in the Manga. I'm still waiting for the next chapter by the way.

Allen: So the pairing is actually NeahXRoad not AllenXRoad?

Triforce: Actually, there is still going to be AllenXRoad if Neah is not controlling you.

Allen: Noooooooo! How could you pair me up with Road?! I don't want Neah to be paired up with her either because he's in my body! CAN'T YOU SEE, I LOVE-

Triforce: *covers Allen's mouth* Shhh! Don't give the audience spoilers. (To Readers) Hey guys, I hope you like this chapter. This may be my least favourite chapter so far, but I wanted to have Neah in control of Allen's body in the upcoming chapters. I can't just write a chapter that Allen randomly shows up as Neah in the next chapter; it wouldn't make any sense, so I let Allen dream about Neah again so Neah can take over his body. If you guys have any questions or ideas on what I can put in this story, (Note: I'm not accepting yaoi request for this story.) or any future story request. (If it's yaoi, don't request me to do a Yullen story.) *release Allen*

Allen: Please Review!
