-Chapter 10-
"What did you mean by that, Lenalee?!" Lavi yelped, dropping the photo album by accident.
Thump, dust floated as the album fell on to the wooden floor.
Lenalee breathed, her hands on her knees, "The finders are currently going after them... But it happened all in a sudden! I mean... You know, that boy Yu? He suddenly went to... Um... The 'older' Allen and asking, well, ordering him to take him outside..."
"So he did?!"
"W-well!" She quickly continued, "yes... It was more like Yu dragging... Allen, though the other boy, the younger Allen, tagged along..."
"Oh my god... I still had so many questions to ask though!" Lavi sighed, pushing back his red hair. And regarding about the Last Noah...
He gritted his teeth, and then quickly, he picked up the photo album. Before he placed it back into the book shelf, he stopped for a moment.
"Lavi...?" Lenalee asked, wondering about the album.
"... Actually," He quickly turned around, walking towards the door with the album, "there's something I want to ask Miss Emilia."
"O-okay!" Lenalee followed him outside. There was still time, Lavi supposed. He'll believe the finders. So now, how about a small question?
"..." The man gulped, looking aside nervously as the boys stepped outside. He was practically dragged around with the powerful grip of... Yu.
To Yu though, this was...
"The sky," Yu breathed, staring at the endless blue, "... No windows, nothing," he continued.
He wanted to bring Alma along.
"By the way..." The blue eyes glared at the pair of silver ones. "Why in the world are you here?!" Allen (the boy and man) both flinched, scared of Yu's harsh tone. Trembling, Allen (the boy) laughed nervously.
"B-but... Um... We-"
"I thought you said you didn't want to go outside anymore."
"-A-ah! No, that was..." Allen looked down guiltily, Yu rolled his eyes and sighed.
"Whatever."
For a moment, Allen had thought that Yu forgave him. Secretly though, the boy knew that he was still angry. He smiled slightly. Allen was glad, though. He was glad that Yu was angry... If he wasn't angry, then that means he didn't thought Allen as a friend, right? (At least in this child's mind.)
Then suddenly, Allen realized that something was missing. Something very very important, something that he coud not possibly forget. "MY PIGGY BANK!" Allen screamed, Yu staring at him with dead fish eyes.
"Your what?"
"I forgot my piggy bank!" The brown haired boy cried, waving his arms around, "I had been saving! For this day! B-but!"
The older Allen stared at the boy, a bit startled by his crying. The look in his eyes softened, though. Yu noticed.
"What the heck," He muttered, stuffing his hand into his pocket, taking out a small pouch. Allen stared at the pouch.
"Yu..."
"What."
"It's bad to steal, you know."
"Like hell I did, stupid."
"..."
"... Hmph."
"You've been saving?"
"What. You mean I can't?"
Allen quickly took three steps back, gasping loudly, "Y-Yu, the Yu had been doing chores?! My goodness, the world is changing-"
"WHAT THE HELL?! YOU THINK I CAN'T EVEN DO THAT?!" Allen was getting on to his nerves.
"A-ahem," Allen cleared his throat quickly, trying to keep up a serious tone, "e-even though now, we have the money for food and stuff like that, we have a problem!" Yu rolled his eyes, feeling very irritated.
"Allen!" Allen pointed at the man as the man jumped in surprise. "You're too dirty! We need to get you washed!"
The man stared at the two boys. Yu made a small sound, nodding. Seriously, though, he stunk too much.
The man pointed at himself questionably. Allen nodded.
"...?!"
But at least they moved on. Maybe.
"So, why couldn't the children leave the house?" Lavi smiled, holding the photo album in his hands. Emilia looked down, her hands placed together as the director spoke to the exorcists.
She closed her eyes, her hands forming into small fists, "... Actually, one day they did went outside so long ago... It was during the middle of the night."
Lavi raised an eyebrow, "Oh?"
"And about that boy you asked," she motioned sadly towards the picture of the boy with brown hair and a headband, wearing a grumpy expression. "He's called Timothy... During that day, he disappeared without a trace."
A monster appeared, a monster with a bright gold colored eye.
"No... Stay away from me..." Allen stumbled, hugging himself tightly as blood soaked his clothes. Lenalee shook her head, tears threatening to seep through as she shouted angrily with the voice of determination.
"I won't! No matter what, this time, I will definitely not leave you, Allen!"
"No..." Allen looked at her helplessly, then suddenly pain starting piercing through him, threatening him to lose his control over the Noah in him. "Please...!"
He started crying, not because he really wanted Lenalee to stay away, because what was in front of him was blood.
In front of him was blood and death.
Lol. Sorry for the long wait again ;w; My other fanfic might have to wait even longer until I get the feeling back (psshhh I never really thought how I should write it so ouo). Thank you for reading and for your support!
