A/N; After the Black Order moved, it looks like they moved to an Island somewhere in the United Kingdom…so after looking at surrounding islands of the area, I picked one that seemed to fit the bill. An island off the east coat of the United Kingdom called Lindisfarne, also called the "Holy Island." It's near the North-East point of Britain before it becomes Scotland.

At least. That's what it looks like on a map of the United Kingdom.

Reprieve

It was a few days after the big ball, the Noah were lazily lounging around the Earl's mansion. Jasdero and Devitto had awoken from their unconscious coma the day before, and were still a bit weak, and angry about their fight with that lame vampire, and the debts General Cross had left them.

Allen was snuggled up against Tyki, reading over his shoulder at the book he was ready. "Hey, Tyki…when are we going to go see Eeze again?" He asked as he flipped the page when he was finished reading it, not that Tyki was.

The Noah gave the Musician a slightly irritated look and turned the page back so that he could finish it. "Soon. We can go later today if you want to, shounen," he responded, flipping the page once he was done. "I thought you were going to go help the twins pay off the debt Cross left them though."

"Oh. I am. I'llk do it little by little with random gambling sprees, and performances," Allen stated in amusement. "I feel sorry for them. I'm glad General Cross didn't leave me anything to pay!"

"You probably just jinxed yourself, and the next massive amount of money he owes, he'll dump it off on you, shounen," Tyki predicted knowingly as he flipped the page again. "Why are you here right now, anyway? Don't you have school?"

"I skipped," Allen stated simply. "I coerced my teacher into telling daddy I went," Allen stated cheerfully. "Just so I could help the twins, hang out with you, and go visit your friends." He playfully swiped at Tyki when the man reached over to pet him on the head.

"What are you, a cat now, Neko-Shounen?" Tyki asked in amusement. "Do you want some catnip or a yarn, Neko-Shounen? I thought Lulubell was the only cat in this family."

"Stop teasing me, Tyki," Allen pouted, looking away from the man. "You're so mean! I'm not a cat. That was one time! And it was all Komui's fault! That man is worse than daddy with his sister."

"Now…why would I do a thing like that? It's fun, Neko-Shounen," Tyki snickered, reaching over and poking the sixteen-year old in the sides. A squeal as the boy fell from the couch onto the floor. "Tyki! You asshat!"

"That's a new one, Neko-Shounen," Tyki drawled peering down on the floor. "You've always been so ticklish," he commented wryly as he leaned over and prodded Allen in the sides again, reveling in the squeal emitted from the boy as he rolled away. "Where are you going?"

"Away from you," Allen said, rising to his feet and trying to regain as much of his dignity as possible before he stormed off out of the room to find Jasdero and Devitto and go help them pay off Marian's debt. "We'll go visit Eeze and them, won't we, Tyki? Once I get back."

"Of course, shounen. Good luck."

"I don't need luck," Allen stated with a smile as he left the room, meeting up with Jasdero and Devitto. They looked tired still from their fight with the vampire, and their hands were linked, but they were alive. "Ready to go?" Allen questioned, opening an ark gate. "London, okay? I'll play a few performances at some classy club, and then play a few poker rounds."

The three stepped out into the streets of London, each in their normal human forms. Allen seemed to know these streets well enough as he strode confidently through them towards the upper end. He was dressed in a semi-formal attire, while Jasdero and Devitto wore their normal clothes. Allen looked at them, and sighed. "You know, you won't be of much help if you're wearing that. Stay here." The nearest club was open, and Allen strode in confidently. It seemed that they knew him there. Well. It was a club for the wealthy and noble of London, and he was from a noble family, the Kamelots.

The owner apparently knew of Allen's skill, and popularity amongst his club. So he was there, bowing rapidly towards the boy. "What brings you here, Mr. Kamelot, sir?"

"Some friends of mine need some extra money, so I'm doing a couple performances to be nice," Allen stated amiably. "I know you love it when I frequent your club,"

"Of course, Mr. Kamelot! You always attract customers. What will you be playing this afternoon?" He queried.

"The piano," Allen responded, shooing the current pianist out of his seat to replace him and begin playing himself. The melody filtered through the ear in all its glory. By far, the melody that Mana and the Earl had taught him was his favorite thing to play. It was like the song was 'his.'

The performance went perfectly, and several people tossed coins at him which Allen easily caught and pocketed. The owner paid him nicely for the performance, and Allen strolled from the club with ease, dropping the money into Jasdero's waiting hands. "It went well, by the way. As usual," he chirped.

His gaze flickered towards the road, and he was slightly amused to find a group of exorcists walking through the streets. He clicked his tongue and looked at the twins. "Exorcists. What to do with them?"

"Mess with them!" Devitto stated rather innocently, and Allen laughed. He looked again a second time, and smiled. "Lavi Bookman, Yu Kanda, and Lenalee Lee," he muttered. What a fun group to mess with! He moved towards them like a ghost. He was moving and then pouncing onto Kanda's back. "Yu-chaaan~"

The other two exorcists reacted badly with shock as they glared at the teenager with his arms happily wrapped around Kanda's neck. "It's Lavs, and Lenalee. How you doing? I heard you got a new headquarters. Would you care to tell us its location?"

Kanda glanced back at the 'moyashi' clinging to his back and deadpanned. "No, Moyashi."

"My name is, Allen. Allen. I seem to have forgotten how stupid you are, however." Allen drawled, running his fingers through Kanda's hair in awe. "It's so soft!" He giggled, proceeding to begin to braid it easily. "You don't have to tell us…we can find it on our own easily, you know." He was saying, leaping away from Kanda as he drew his katana.

"Leave my hair alone, Moyashi!" Kanda hissed, swinging the weapon at him. "First Illusion, hells insects," a squeal from the other as he ducked and gave this irritated look. "Really? I haven't done anything to you! I have no intention of harming you currently. I'm /working/ currently. Sort of. Your damn General Cross left my brothers his debts. I'm being nice and helping them pay it off." Allen drawled in an overly pleasant voice. "I mean really…what kind of man leaves his debts for other people to pay off? I thought you churchly people were you know…/churchly./"

Lavi was working on prying the young boy off of Kanda's back with a sigh. "You're a lot different with your family, aren't you, Moyashi-chan?"

"My name. Is. Allen," Allen snapped, getting more and more irritated with the demeaning nickname the Exorcists had given him from his time with them. It was a name that would never leave him.

Jasdero and Devitto's eyebrows rose, and they snickered. "Moyashi, Allen? Really? Beansprout in Japanese, isn't it?"

"Yes," Allen responded gloomily as he glared at Lavi. "You people annoy me," He stated boldly. "Do you honestly not care what other people think about what you calling them? No? Of course not. You humans have done nothing but ruin this world. Which is why the Earl is destroying it." He hummed a few bars of the melody that controlled a few bars, and stalked into the Ark with Jasdero and Devitto behind him. "Moyashi, what about our debt?"

"Don't call me that!"

"Moyashi Moyashi Moyashi."

"Shut up shut up shut up!"

"Moyashi."

"Forget it! I'm not helping you."

"Awww, Moyashi! You gotta help us! We're family!"

Lavi, Kanda, and Lenalee glanced at each, giggled a moment but were just mostly confused on the finer aspects of the Noah being there for no apparent reason. Well. When I say they looked at each other it was more like Lavi and Lenalee giggled, and Kanda snorted.

Allen smiled inwardly as he watched Falsetto devour one of the Exorcists golems, and then shift its form to match it. Mission accomplished.

Allen found Tyki in the room he'd left him in, with his book and Allen sulkily crawled into his lap. "Jasdero and Devitto are being annoying," he whined sulkily. "Can we go see Eeze and them now, Tyki?"

Tyki placed a bookmark in the book and closed it, smiling at Allen. "Of course, shounen. What'd they do to make you annoyed with them?" A grumble, and a mutter of "I'd rather not talk about it," made Tyki snicker as he grabbed the boy by the hand. "This is about the time we'd be at the coal mines near Germany," He commented, as Allen opened a gate and dragged Tyki through. At one point, he stopped by the room that stored all the items in Falsetto to pick out a few things from the rather messy room. A brown wig and an eye patch to cover his scar. He was traveling with a group of hobos…he had to look the part.

The two stepped from the ark, both looking their part as they began their search for the group of hobos they traveled with. A smile crossed Tyki's face as he discovered the group and waved. "Yo."

"Welcome back, Tyki. Allen~" Chirped the small boy with a mask covering his face. The child had a bit of a health problem, so was prone to catching colds and things like that. "Your hair is longer…" he commented.

One of the other men glanced up and smiled. "Back from your mysterious second job, you two? Sometimes I wonder what you two do that keeps you away for so long."

"This and that," The two responded vaguely with the smallest of smiles. Allen easily changed the subject, and smiled pleasantly at his group of human friends. "We miss anything or importance?"

"Not really," the simple report came from Momo in a vague tone of voice. Tyki raised an eyebrow in minor curiosity. And Momo shrugged lightly. "You wouldn't believe me if I said it…but these odd monster things attacked us."

Anger flashed between the two Noah, at how stupid Akuma were at times. How dare they attack their friends. Momo and Clack raised an eyebrow at their friends' sudden anger, and then shrugged it off. "How'd you get away?" Was Tyki's sudden question, looking at the three of them with mild worry.

"This random spiky-haired girl did it," Eeze responded, and Tyki looked at Allen. Rhode. She really did care for her family, even if it meant protecting their human friends. "She yelled at them to stop attacking her family's precious humans…"

Allen looked at Tyki, and then at Eeze and smiled. "No clue. But it does make an interesting story, Eeze." He made a mental note to thank Rhode for protecting their precious friends.

The five moved on, chatting about old times. Tyki and Allen managed to joke vaguely about their other job, but they never really mentioned what they did or who they worked for…or how they managed to even locate the two hobos, and always by phone. The other three wondered how their mysterious employer would locate them without a phone…

Allen and Tyki stopped walking suddenly, that familiar feeling of an awakening Noah overcoming them. Of course. Now of all times a Noah would awaken, right when they were with their friends. There wasn't a phone around for the Earl to call them, and they couldn't think up an excuse to leave so soon…

Although, the Earl would be fine picking up their sibling without them, Allen was often used in relieving the suffering from the transformation of the Noah by weaving a lovely little illusion to calm the tunes raging within.

Allen glanced at Tyki, and rolled his shoulders in a shrug. "It would be so much easier if they knew, wouldn't it?"

Tyki agreed, but he didn't want his light life to interfere with his dark life. They were Noah. Destroyers of the human race…and here he was, a Noah, best of friends with three of those humans. How much easier it would be if they knew…but he didn't want that for them.

"Who do you think it is, Tyki?" Allen asked quietly. "It couldn't be Skin, not this soon…From what the Earl's told me…the memories remaining are Corrosion, Ability, Pity, Judge, and Wisdon." It was clear that the Earl was so enamored with his new Fourteenth that he told him a lot of things.

The three humans glanced back at the two Noah holding their conversation, wondering what they were talking. They were friends…but they really didn't know anything about Tyki or Allen these days. Neither of them every told them anything about what happened while they were away. Although they respected their privacy…they couldn't help but be curious.

The feeling of curiosity would never go away until it was satisfied and the three of them made a silent pact to figure out what their two friends were hiding.

A/N; Uh. Yeah. I really wonder what Tyki's friends would do if they found out SO LETS MAKE THEM FIND OUT 8D Soon. They will. Sooooooon.

Anyway. I started school on Thursday. But. I've been working on this chapter during classes. Mostly just my rambling English class because it's the one period besides AMT that I don't get internet.

I'M A SENIOR THIS YEAR. This makes me happy.

And I've seen the DGM spoilers for chapter 207. Hnhn. Lavi fans will not be happy with Sheryl. Chaoji haters will rejoice. Kanda lovers will rejoice.

Next chapter; Allen and Tyki finally leave to go find the Noah of Corrosion with the Earl and family. Eeze, Clack, and Momo will follow them. xD
