A/N; I noticed a lot of random typos in the last chapter. Yeah. I don't have anybody checking my writing for me. So. Sorry about that. I'll do a better job of checking over...
Anyway. I started school, as I told you about last chapter. It's going to be amazing just because I'm a senior. The only class I'm going to have issues with is my health class second semester with Coach Yost. I lose my lunch period, and my working in the school library period for it. However, I will continue to try to get out chapters whenever I can.
And. New -Man chapter is out. Johnny scored points. Chaoji is as hated as ever. I'm seriously wondering if Link is alright. He grew on me. Lenalee. Hate her still. KANDA'S BACK WITH A SMILE. I about died. And he's dressed like a friggin' hobo. XD
Corroded Secrets
The feeling of an awakening Noah wasn't going away, and Tyki and Allen were trying to find a way to go meet their new brother, or sister. They wanted to spend some time with their friends; however they also wanted to meet their new sibling. It was a horrible conundrum.
Certainly the family was wondering where the two had gotten to and why they weren't there…ah there it was. A phone. Just what the two Noah needed. Allen predicted that it would ring in about…now. He approached the phone easily, and picked it up. "Good evening, Millennie," Allen chirped into the phone.
Millennie? Who was Millennie? What an odd name the three normal humans decided, as they waited while Allen spoke on the phone, listening in on the conversation quietly. Tyki stood next to Allen, leaning lightly on the boy to better listen to what the Earl was saying.
They were talking in muted tones on the phone, and their friends strained to hear what was said.
"Of course, Millennie…do you know which one it is? Corrosion? Sounds interesting. Can't wait to meet him." Allen was saying quietly into the phone. "Love you too, Millennie." He replaced the phone on the hook and glanced back sadly at Eeze, Momo, and Clack. "Sorry guys…we have somewhere to go."
"Your mysterious other careers?" Momo drawled, raising an eyebrow in amusement and Tyki nodded, smiling in almost a sad manner at having to leave them when they really had just arrived. Allen took his uncle by the hand, and began dragged him off into an out-of-sight direction.
It was at that moment that the three silently began to follow them. They glanced around the corner, making sure to stay out of sight, confused as to why Allen and Tyki were just standing. They noticed them smile, as this fat, almost jolly-looking…thing appeared from what seemed like nowhere.
The Earl glanced at Tyki and Allen, and shook his head. "Do try looking the part of a gentleman, Allen-kun, Tyki-pon." He drawled, and the two Noah snickered lightly. Before the eyes of their friends, their skin changed to this ashen color, their eyes changed to this gorgeous color of gold. Tyki was now dressed like a noble gentleman, as was Allen, although in a bit more juvenile gentlemanly dress.
"That's much better, Lord Tyki Mikk, Allen Kamelot." The Earl stated, addressing them by their formal names. "We're off to go retrieve our brother, Fiddler. Noah's Corrosion."
"Sounds interesting, Millennie!" Allen commented, leaping onto the man's shoulders with glee as he wrapped his arms around his neck. "Are the rest of the family already there?" He asked, tilting his head to the side, as he stole the Earl's hat, placing it onto his own head. The three friends were surprised that the /thing/ had horns and was bald.
"Oh. I saw the Exorcists earlier! I sent Falsetto after them to find the location of their new headquarters. Then, I'll have Rhode take me there through one of her doors and I can set up an Ark gate," Allen chirped. "They're so much fun to mess with sometimes!"
The Earl chuckled happily at Allen's antics, and he opened a door to his own ark, chuckling. "Good job, Allen-kun. Let's go meet our new family member." He strolled in, twirling Lero happily in one hand with Tyki behind him and Allen still perched on his back.
The three friends moved once their backs were turned, and with the skills only a hobo could have (NINJA HOBOS. That is all), they followed the three Noah into the ark. They were amazed by the blackened buildings. They were either unlucky, or lucky enough that the gate closed right behind them.
The meow of a black cat made the trio jump in shock. A few sniffs and Lulubell caught the scent of Tyki and of Allen clinging to them. They were surprised to see the cat change forms, into that of a tall black-haired, ashen-skinned woman wearing sunglasses. "It seems we have intruders," she drawled in a purring voice as she began to circle them like a predator. "Allen and Tyki's friends, aren't you? However, I doubt they would be pleased knowing that you followed them into our home. I doubt my master would be pleased knowing humans have followed him and my nephew and brother." The Noah family was an odd bunch indeed. The older ones; Sheryl, Lulubell and Tyki were siblings while the younger ones; Allen, Rhode, and the Twins were their nieces and nephews as siblings as well.
She approached them, determined to kill the ones who dare trespass in her master's domain.
"Lulu!" Allen suddenly called with Tyki steps behind. The Earl brought up the rear, with dull amusement. He wanted to see how well these humans would react to knowing their friends secret as Noah. As the destroyers of the human race.
Allen and Tyki moved in between Noah's Lust and the humans easily. "Don't hurt them, Lulubell," Allen whispered. "They're human…yes…but there are friends." He glanced at the Earl sadly, putting on this adorable face that the Earl surely couldn't resist. "Don't hurt them, Millennie."
While Allen appealed to the Earl's loving nature of his family, especially the Fourteenth, Tyki had turned to face his friends, a sad look on his face as he remained in the form of a Noah. "I never wanted you to find out this way, I wanted to continue our travels as per usual until the day came when I could no longer return to your side." A smile, and then an almost joking comment. "Well. You wanted to find out…and I suppose you have."
The Earl was speaking now, that grin still plastered on his face. The three thought it looked absolutely ridiculous, although they couldn't help but be frightened of the look he was giving them. It was a look of curiosity, wondering if these three could be of help at a later time. He had plenty of brokers…but his beloved family seemed to like these humans. He supposed he could allow them to live…if they proved useful.
"Lulubell. We'll let Allen-kun and Tyki-pon deal with this, we have a new family member to welcome anyway." The Earl drawled, and Lulubell shifted forms again, back to her cat form as she stalked after the Earl. But not after the Earl glanced back with another creepy smile. "If they prove to be a hindrance to us, I trust you will deal with it, Allen-kun? Tyki-pon? Oh, Allen-kun…Sheryl is very displeased with you for skipping school today."
Eeze looked at Tyki, blinking in confusion. "Pon? Tyki-pon?"
"I told him I didn't want to be called that!" Tyki fumed slightly, glancing at Eeze. That was a quite the comeback after nearby being killed by his sister. "You must forgive Lulubell…she's been obsessed with keeping the Earl happy since she and Allen failed their last mission."
Allen looked away from the group, and his bottom lip jutted out in an annoyed pout. "Those stupid generals destroyed Millennie's egg! And General Cross ruined my nice clothes for the ball!"
"Let the clothes go, shounen. You got new ones," Tyki said with the slightest roll of his eyes as he began shoving the four in the direction of the manor that was inside the Earl's ark.
A door was kicked open by Allen, into a nice cozy room with a fire-place while Allen flopped into the largest chair. "We'll answer your questions…but as Millennie said, if you prove to be a bother to us, we will have to kill you."
Tyki, although not too happy about it, dully agreed as he took his own seat, gesturing for the other three to sit, running his fingers through his hair as he removed the pony tail, letting the long black locks cascade down his shoulders before easily redoing it. It was during this time that the three humans saw the stigmata across Tyki's forehead. "Question one, I'm assuming is what are we."
Allen took the answer to this one, speaking with easy as he stretched out across the chair he was in. "We are the Noah clan. There are fourteen of us. We have inherited the genes of the original apostle of God, Noah. We are defined by these stigmata across our foreheads, our gold eyes, and the skin. We also exhibit abilities all our own, and control over Akuma, those monsters that had attacked you earlier."
Momo was the first to speak, trying to drink all this information in before speaking. "What abilities do you two have?" He asked, almost warily. "And what are Akuma…who was that girl…and who's the walking marshmallow?"
"One question at a time, my friend," Tyki drawled, rising to his feet. "My abilities…I'll give you a demonstration," He began walking towards a wall…and they expected the man to run into it, only to pass through it with ease. A moment later, his head popped back in. "Allen's abilities are those of the Fourteenth, he is only the second Fourteenth our family has ever had. There were originally only thirteen. I'm the third Noah, I represent pleasure."
"Which is why Tyki-pon looks so…sexy," Allen chimed in with the slyest of smirks. "Noah of Destruction here," He commented with a wave. "My abilities deal with sound and music. Lulubell, you already met, represents Lust, and has transformation abilities. Quite handy if you ask me…you saw Rhode already, she's my favorite sister, is the Noah of Dreams. Her ability is really hard to explain…like really. Mind blowing hard." Allen then started to giggle at some inside joke and the boy fell from his chair.
"Allen, do calm down, I know you're excited that you can be your normal self about our friends, but it's going to freak them out anymore," Tyki drawled, lighting up a cigarette as he settled into his chair again. "Akuma are machines that our master, the Millennium Earl, the walking marshmallow…don't let him hear you call him that. He's scary when he's angry." The next part was hard for him to say, about the Akuma's mission, and their own.
"The Akuma are machines, as Tyki-pon just stated. They're made from the sorrow of a human who just lost the life of a loved one, and the soul of the loved one lost. They are programmed to kill," A smile, twisted and the normal smile a Noah held frightened the three to no end. "Does it scare you? Knowing that we work with such creatures? That we could kill a human with ease?"
Tyki looked tersely at Allen, before speaking himself again. "I never wanted you three to find out about my dark side…Forgive me for lying to you for…" A hug of a child had Eeze wrapped around his waist, leaving both Noah mildly shocked.
"It's alright, Tyki-nii…you do scare us…but you won't hurt us…" The blond boy muttered quietly into Tyki's suit, leaving a streak of tears across it. "If you were so cold-hearted as you're leading us to think…you would have already killed us…that girl, Rhode…never would have protected us from the Akuma…and you wouldn't look so sad."
For such a young human, this boy exhibited wisdom beyond his years. Tyki patted his head lightly with a smile. The other two agreed with the young boy. "We understand if you have to kill us…it was our fault for following you, but I want to help you…you're our friend. No matter what you've done."
Allen smiled, as he rose to his feet. "That's a good mind-set you have there, Eeze. Your resolve is strong. I think we may have a use for you three yet," Allen said amiably. An Akuma dressed up as a maid showed up at the door, and Allen looked at her. "Show these three to a room, they are our guests."
He was draped over Tyki's shoulders now, smiling. "I have a plan…for you three, namely, you Eeze." He commented with a smile. That smile…made Tyki and the other three wonder what he had in mind as the Akuma maid lead them to a room. That done, Tyki and Allen moved to go meet their new brother.
A/N; Uh. So. Yeah. Here's a new chapter.
Allen's idea? You'll see. And I really don't know much about the personalities of Tyki's friends. But I see Eeze as kind of a really smart and wise little kid beyond his years. He just seems that way. So he is.
Yeah. They're going to work with the Noah. So. They won't die.
Next chapter; Lets meet Fiddler and Allen begin working on his plan. Yeah. Finally meeting the Fiddler...I hate him so much. His tongue. IS SO CREEPY.
