Part 11: Krory's Love.

Like always, every night at the bar on the back streets:

"Hey hey Allen. Do you think that the boss has been acting very strange lately?" Lenalee poked at the Allen who was lost in his thoughts staring at the cocktail that he was holding, "Do you know what's going on?"

"Oh, him?" Allen answered snapping out of his day dream and turned to look the dumb struck person sitting nearby, then started to swish the cocktail glass around in his hand, "He's in love."

"Ah?" Lenalee looked over at Krory with a strange expression on her face, then found that he's eyes were pinned to some blond haired woman sitting by herself on a sofa from afar.

"Is it that woman over there?...She looks very beautiful. Krory does have good taste."

"But I don't know about Krory though, he just stares at her everyday but never tries to make a move." Allen paused for a while. Then picked up the cocktail again and went towards the blond haired lady.

"Eeh, what are you doing Allen-kun?" Lenalee grabbed him nervously, "That's the person the boss likes, there's no use of you going."

"Maybe….but it's better than sitting around doing nothing." Allen smiled lightly, "Krory is stronger than you think."

"Eh?" Lenalee didn't really understand what Allen meant, but she just stood frozen watching Allen approach the woman.

"Hello Miss, by yourself? I often see you here alone." Allen approached in a friendly tone, his eyes welcoming. The blond hair woman stared back at him with a lazy expression.

"It's you right?…….you're who they call "The Devil" of the back streets."

"Huh?" Allen cocked his head slightly, "Can I help you?"

"……" The woman started to laugh, a relaxed lazy tone, "I'm only here to look for a strong man."

"Oh?" Allen lifted a brow looking a little amused, "Strong eh……."

"WHAM!"

"What does this mean?" Allen asked with a smirk, looking down at the women who had just picked him up with one hand by the neck, then turned his head to find a group of people kicking the door down.

The nice sound of smashed glasses rang through the air.

"Test." There was a slight excitement in her voice, "What are you going to do, Devil?"

"Lenalee, please don't get involved in this, Ne….." Allen said, purposely ignoring the woman who was holding him in the air by the neck. He turned to look at Lenalee with a gentle smile, "Leave it to Krory."

"No problem." She replied waving her hand at the air carelessly in a gesture of agreement.

"You…..will allow yourself to trust your life to that useless person?" The blond hair woman raised an eyebrow her tone of voice impressed at all.

"……" Allen slightly furrowed his brow.

"Firstly, Krory's not a useless person. Secondly, this place is not mine, it belongs to Krory. Thirdly……" A dangerous smile appeared on his face, "….I will not lose my life to something as pathetic as this."

Krory stared at the chaotic place lost for words. Allen and Lenalee seemed to look like they're not going to help. Were they creating a chance for him? He gave them a thankful smile.

He was still slumping a little, and he knew that he looked really pathetic right now, but--he's only got one chance.

So he bent down and grabbed a blood red cocktail from the bar table.

This was only a normal cocktail. Well to normal people it is.

But, he wasn't a normal person. He was Arystar Krory.

He gulped down the drink, and immediately felt a sensation through his whole body. It was getting hot.

--How long was it since then? How long since he had a battle……Since Allen arrived he had stopped drinking this type of alcohol…….

The white streak of hair which had been hanging down, was now raised up, eyes sharp and his pupils expanded until the white was all black, his teeth had become sharpened.

--The transformation of Vampire Krory was complete.

"Argh! What's that?..." A person from the group of people who had charged in earlier, pointed at the person speeding his way.

"V……Vampire!!--"

Under the sharp screams which cut through the air, the gang of people started to panic and scream as well, but it quickly ceased, because before anyone knew, they were lying on the floor. Not one person standing.

"That was fast." Lenalee looked at her watch. It only him took 69 seconds.

Krory's a bakemono too? She thought.

"Let go of him." When Krory's voice cut through, the blond hair lady was still lost in shock from just had happened.

"You……"

"Ok! The test is finished!" No one noticed how, but Allen just appeared next to Lenalee, not a scratch on him. "So, are you satisfied?"

"You are strong……" The blond hair woman started to smile and lazily leaned over into his arms.

"I admire you….." She smiled her eyes softened.

"Err…..Um….Err…." Krory was totally lost, he was so nervous that all he could utter was "Err" and "Um".

"Hohoho! Krory your lucky day has finally come!" Allen laughed happily lowering the cocktail he was holding, "So, the legendary vampire of the back street has finally found love. Ah the world is such a beautiful place."

"Hey…." Lenalee asked slowly, resting her chin on her palm looking over at Krory and the blond hair lady, "How did you know that Krory liked her?"

"Oh, do you mean Eliade? Well, Krory had mentioned to me before what type of girl he liked, something like that……"

"Eh? How come Allen-kun knows her name?"

"She's a well known 'Big Sister' around here. Of course I know."

"Oh…….then what about Allen-kun?"

"Hm?" Allen raised his head, "What about me?"

"What type of girl do you like? If you and Krory had discussed it before……"

"U…..uh…err…..t…that……" Allen gave an embarrassed smile, "Like…….L…….like………like that……"

"Like what?"

"Um……" Allen didn't know what to say anymore to get him out of this situation, he couldn't really tell her the truth…….and tell her that "He likes the kind which are gentle and cute but also a little violent at times? OMG, then isn't that Lenalee? He can't let her find out!" So all he did was laugh dryly and started stepping backwards nervously.

"Allen-kun?" Lenalee tilted her head slightly, and stared at the shocked boy who was stepping back steadily, thinking "Maybe Allen-kun likes girls which have strange personalities so he doesn't want to tell people?"

"Ok then….." Allen felt like he was going to cry any minute, thinking "Why did I ever mention this to her, what can he do now?..."

"Doesn't matter….." Lenalee sighed, "If Allen-kun doesn't want to tell me, I won't force you to."

"Ah, Lenalee is so understanding!" Allen exhaled a breath, thinking "Thank god Lenalee's personality's not like Lavi's, who would annoy you until you told him, buut then agian he really likes that in her as well….."

Wait!

"No no no, don't think about it! He doesn't want to die at this tender age, under the drill!"

But now at the least, it's the beginning of spring for Krory's love.
