I'm so sorry for not posting in a while. I had Midterms this week and last week, and also a serious case of writer's block. So, I hope this chapter is good :D Thanks to Lavi-Usagi for helping me with the things I wasn't completely sure about.


Kanda's POV

"TYKII!" Allen yelled as we entered the basement of the castle.

"Well if it isn't Allen and Kanda. What brings you two back here?" Tyki asked exiting a room to our left. I stood protectively in front of Allen once again.

"We have some questions for you...if that's alright?" Allen asked from behind me.

"Certainly! It be no trouble at all."

The more this guy talked the more I hated him. I don't know why, he just does. He's like a slightly less annoying Lavi. Just his presence irks me.

"Thanks!" Allen chirped. I scowled, as Tyki led us into the room he found us in.

"So, what is it you'd like to ask me?"

"Who are you really?" I asked placing my hand on Mugen

"As I said before my name is Tyki Mikk and I'm just a wanderer."

"You're lying! Why are you here really?!" I growled

"I guess I'm not as good at lying as I thought." Tyki laughed, removing his thick glasses and pushing back the hair that covered his face. His skin began to darken into a shade of gray that shouldn't be possible for human skin. A row of seven stigma began appearing on his now exposed forehead. His laugh grew as we watched his entire appearance and attire change. Ripped pants and heavy boots for dress shoes and black slacks. Torn shirt to dress shirt and tail coat. His smile widened as he placed the top hat that appeared in his hands on top of his head.

"You're a Noah." I growled

"That I am. One of the thirteen, true apostles of god."


Allen's POV

I stood in utter shock as Tyki changed into what Kanda called 'Noah'. Seriously confused I looked to Kanda for some form of explanation he only glared at Tyki.

"So I suppose you're here for this Innocence, correct?" Tyki asked as he finished laughing he pulled out an Innocence holding it in the palm of his gloved hand. He closed his fingers around the Innocence, crushing it leaving a powder in his hand. Tyki held his hand close to his face and blew, creating a cloud of Innocence before it disappeared completely.

"You f*cking asshole!" Kanda screamed quickly unsheathing Mugen and attacking the Noah. Tyki laughed wickedly as Kanda's katana missed him as he sunk into the floor. Kanda sliced at Tyki over and over, and Tyki disappeared into the woodwork just before each attack.

"If I don't want to touch it I don't have to." Tyki laughed as Kanda went to slice off his head. He shoved his hand into Kanda's chest. "How would it feel to have your still beating heart ripped from your chest?" Tyki wrapped his gloved hand around Kanda's heart, making it skip a beat.

"Afraid are we?" Tyki smirked as Kanda's eyes widened in fear.

Fear. Fear of death. I froze as his eyes widened. He quickly regained his composure as he drew out Mugen from Tyki's stomach where it currently resided. I activated my Innocence. Attack him while he's distracted by Kanda. I raised my left arm high above Tyki slicing down at him. He was unfazed by the attack, but withdrew his hand.

"So you can fight." Tyki stated surprised I actually moved, I in truth was as well.

"But let's see how good you actually are!" Tyki said as two large purple butterflies appeared in the palms of his out stretched hands. I balled my left hand into a fist and slammed it into Tyki, and he sunk into the flooring below him.

"You bastard!" I screamed punching at him again and again once he reappeared. Nothing. He disappeared just before I could beat in his face. I stood breathing heavily and he smirked.

"It seems you've worn yourself out Allen. I'll let you rest for now. I'll see you at the grand finally." Tyki smirked walking directly into the wall disappearing with trace.

The hum of Akuma machinery echoed throughout the castle.

"Shit." Kanda muttered.
