Hello! And welcome back to 'The Darkness is Inevitable'!

So, thank you once again to those who reviewed, favourited and followed the last chapter! It's appreciated.
I'm also led to believe that yesterday was someone's birthday, so Happy late Birthday to hetalia43v3r!

So...I have a feeling this chapter is going to be a bit weaker description wise, because I'm tired and my concentration is so-so to say the least.

But either way, I hope you enjoy this chapter!
And I forgot this last chapter so I'll put it in now!
Disclaimer: I do not own -Man. If I did, I wouldn't be writing a FANfiction.

Allen stood in Lenalee's house studying the photographs out of curiosity. However, when Lenalee walked back to meet him, dressed in her uniform consisting of a patent jacket, scandalously short skirt and of course her Dark Boots, Allen was gazing intently at a picture depicting her and Komui with her parents.
"That's us before my parents were killed." Lenalee stated, walking over to him. Allen's head snapped round immediately at hearing her voice.
"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to pry! It's just...you look so happy." He said apologetically. Lenalee smiled.
"No, it's fine. I've always liked that picture. It's the only one of all of my family together that we still have." Lenalee explained, picking up the photograph. Allen smiled back, glad that he hadn't offended her. They stood there for a minute, both thinking to themselves before Allen broke the silence.
"Lenalee...we need to go. We're going to miss the train." Allen said quietly. Lenalee snapped out of her daze.
"Oh right! Sorry! Let's go!" Lenalee replied as they made for the door.

"Wait. We're jumping onto the train!?" Lenalee exclaimed as she and Allen stood on the top of a train bridge over a of a signal.
"Apparently the Order has always boarded this way, but I imagine boarding a steam train was easier. That's why we use the bridge near the signal, because the train briefly stops here." Allen replied, trying to calm the now hyperventilating Lenalee down. Suddenly, the hiss of the trains engine could be heard below them.
"Quick! We need to go! Now!" Allen cried, grabbing Lenalee's hand and pulling her towards the edge of the bridge and onto the ledge. From past experience, he knew they only had mere seconds before the train would shoot off after it stopped. As it halted, he tugged the girls hand and they fell together, Allen landing neatly on the trains roof, with Lenalee landing in a slightly unorthodox manner beside him. Allen led her to the skylight and told her to hold on tight as the train flew off the mark. Lenalee bit her tongue to stop herself from screaming out whilst Allen wrestled with the cover on the skylight.
"Hah! Got it!" he grinned as he offered out his hand to Lenalee. "Ladies first" Lenalee took his hand and slid into the train, scooting out of the way for Allen to drop inside too.

Suddenly, they were approached by a warden.
"You two! Did you just come from the roof?" He asked, frowning at them like a parent would a naughty child. Allen merely pointed at his Rose Cross on his chest and wardens expression changed.
"Right this way, mister, miss." He said, gesturing for them to follow. Lenalee's expression had also changed from one of shock to one of confusion. After seeing the badge that she and Allen wore, the warden had lead them into none other than the first class car and given them a personal booth.
"He let us on because the Order has affiliations everywhere." Allen answered Lenalee's perplexed expression. She smiled in realisation as the pair of them took their seats.

Lenalee hated boats. She had never let anyone know but she really disliked the concept. A vessel floating atop the waves. Look what happened to the Titanic! It wasn't that she was afraid of them, but his hatred of the form of transportation probably stemmed back from when she was younger and she accidentally pushed herself into the water without the oars on a small, wooden boat. Lenalee had been forced to swim back to shore, where her brother had proceeded to smirk at her soggy form before helping her to dry herself. So it wasn't that she had a fear of the boat, she just didn't want to get stranded again. She didn't intend on telling Allen that though.

After taking the train down to Dover, home to many a white chalk cliff, Allen and Lenalee had boarded a ferry bound for Calais in France. After getting off the phone to Komui, Lenalee informed Allen that a finder was awaiting their arrival at the Dover port with a car. And sure enough, he had been there, a finder by the name of Ryan. He had taken them aboard the ferry in one of the Orders borrowed cars, this one being a black Renault. The Order lacked in decent cars, Allen thought. On board, Allen and Lenalee had sat down in one of the Cafe's and ordered drinks. A coffee for Lenalee and a tea for Allen. Ryan had disappeared somewhere so the two were left alone.

Since boarding the train, they hadn't spoken much. On the train, the both of them had fallen asleep, and additionally the pair had been half asleep whilst searching for Ryan. However, after a caffeine endued wake up call, the two found conversation natural. But, much to Allen's dismay, they ended up going back to the topic of earlier that morning before the ferry even set off. The topic of parents and their past.

And that was how the two of them ended up knowing more about the other than before.


Chapter eleven is done!
So it had little action or anything, just lengthy paragraphs about travelling. Urg. I hate transportation. Any kind. This chapter was horrible to right solely for that reason. I can practically feel the motion. *shudders*

So hope you enjoyed it! And I hope to hear what you think about the story so far.
Please review or whatever you do. I'd love opinions! But if it's a hassle, don't bother. I won't set Kanda on you. Not making any promises about Tim though...

So, until next time!
Chickaboo3000 out!
