Wow, I can't imagine how many people want to kill me for not updating. There is an awesome plot twist in this chapter, and only one person (Victoria) is aware of it. So I hope it all makes sense.

"Ok Kanda," Jonathon said at noon the next day. "You're free to go. Allen will be released later on. I suggest you go to your room and change."
"Che," Kanda said getting up, leaving Allen behind. His wandered around the tower until he came across the hallway that his room was in. Before he headed into his room though, he snagged Tim from Allen's room.
"Ok golem," Kanda said ignoring how Tim seemed to fly angrily. "I know you want me to know about Allen's past without him knowing that I know, so tell me what I need to know."
Tim opened up his mouth, showing off Allen's beloved diary. He grabbed it and flopped down on the bed. He decided that he wanted to know more about Allen's life before he really knew Mana, so he turned to one of the earliest pages.
-Diary-
Dear Diary
Today I met a very nice (but still kind of mean) boy. He looked Asian, with shoulder length black hair and dark eyes. He came into town with this guy who looked nothing like him. The old guy had big frizzy hair, glasses, and lots of art stuff.
Anyways, I was in the market trying to steal something to eat. I had my eye on this really nice looking loaf of bread. But then when I went to knick it, the guy caught my by my wrist. I shit my eyes when I saw him raise his closed fist. As I waited for the impact on my body, I wished that I had set my standards lower, but now I had to pay the price. But the sharp, stinging pain never came. I cracked one eye open and saw the older boy from earlier (he couldn't be more than two or three years older than me) stopping him.
After that there was a lot of screaming, yelling, and threatening. But in the end the boy managed to get me away unharmed, but he wouldn't let me go. I tried to shrug him off, but he held on tighter with his one hand, and he used the other to put something in my hand. It was the bread!
"Don't get caught next time squirt," he said. And then he left.
I know it sounds really lame, and sad, but I think I loved him. Even though we're both boys. He was the first person my age to care about me.
-End Diary-
Kanda put the diary away when he heard voices outside of his room.
"Get the new kid," he heard Shawnie yell. "Now that everyone's back and there are male exorcist in the building I have to do a presentation."
Suddenly his door crashed in. There were two faces looming at him.
"Hello," they said at the same time. "We won't hurt you, just come with us, quietly. Don't struggle…." If Kanda didn't know they were exorcist, he would have killed them on the spot for being so creepy.
"Who are you again?" he asked.
The dark haired one answered first. "I'm Nikki, the ultra amazing one." Then the other one answered. "I am JACK! THE PUMPKIN KING! Nah, I'm Destiny."
The both looked at him again. "Now that you know who we are, come with us."
"Come into my parlor."
"Said the spider to the fly."
Kanda was really started to get freaked out. They were either saying stuff at the same time or they were finishing each other sentences. He almost passed out when another head entered his room.
"Oi, knock it off you too. It's really creepy when you guys do that," said the youngest looking of the heads. Destiny and Nikki pouted, but then left the room to torment Laura or something.
"Sorry about that," she said. "I'm Victoria if you can't remember."
"Thanks, for helping me with them I mean."
"No worries, I know how they can act sometimes. It's kind of like initiation for them. But anyways, we still need to head down to the meeting room. Your friend should already be there."
"He's not my friend, he's merely someone I am forced to interact with on a daily basis," Kanda said pulling his jacket on.
"Sure, see you in a few."
Kanda signed as he watched the head leave his door. He was used to having 2 females around, not 6. And he had to deal with Allen Walker as well. When it rained it poured.
"Ok," Shawnie said when Kanda finally entered the room and stood in the corner. "I'm pretty sure we all want to know what were here about. Well, there are a few things we need to talk about. One thing is missions. I know that Allen and Kanda are supposed to work together mostly, but I will have you know ahead of time that you will occasionally get a third member or a party, or you will get different partners completely. This can't be helped because sometimes people get sick. And winters in Canada are harsh, so we like to cycle the people in and out."
"That's fine with me. I'm sure it will be a pleasure to work with everyone," Allen said with a bright smile that Kanda knew was fake.
"Good, now the second matter id more for the boys. I'm aware of the amount of female exorcists that live in the England headquarters, and I know that there are more here. This is NOT an invitation to start bed hopping. If I find out that ANYONE is getting any, I will make sure that they will be cleaning the toilets for a month. With a toothbrush and no gloves. Get it? Got it? Good."
"Is that everything Shawnie?" Laura asked.
"Yes, go and enjoy your freedom whilst I stay in here and sign papers until I wither away and die like a prune."
"Shawnie, your metaphors are magical, but shut up," Yuan said, taking a moment of her 'Stare at Kanda' time.
"Yeah, whatever, just go. Except for Laura."
So everyone, except for Laura, left. And since it was dinner time, they headed to the (newly restored) dinning hall.
Kanda, Yuan, Destiny, and Victoria ordered their dinners first. Then Nikki ordered her large proportions, and finally Allen ordered his mountain of food.
"So," Allen said between his monster bites. "What's up with Shawnie and Laura? I mean, why is she the only one allowed to stay in Shawnie's office? Is there something else between them?"
All four of the girls laughed at Allen's question, causing the British boy to turn a light shade of pink.
"Sorry if it's a dumb question. I'm sorry," he muttered.
"No, that's not it," Yuan said. "It's just that your not the first person to ask if their gay for each other. To make the record straight though, no they aren't seeing each other. They're both straight. Shawnie just likes to make it seem that way, and Laura stopped arguing about it years ago."
"Oh, ok," Allen said.
"Well," Destiny and Nikki said. "We're tired, so we're off to bed. We suggest that you also go to bed." And with that said they both simultaneously got up and walked out the door.
"They scare me," Allen said closing his eyes.
"That's normal. Yuan used to be terrified by them. She actually tried pouring Holy Water on them once."
"What happened?" Kanda asked.
"She got Destiny right in the eye, so Destiny chased her around the building until Yuan collapsed and begged for mercy." Victoria explained.
"Victoria doesn't seem to be bothered with them," Yuan muttered.
"I used to be part of a circus. I've had dinner with bearded women; I can take Siamese twin wannabes."
"Yeah well, I'm going to bed," Yuan said leaving.
"Same here; do you two need help getting back to your rooms?"
"No, it's alright," Kanda said.
"Thanks for the off though," Allen said. The two males watched as the girls walked off, leaving them to their own accords.
"Well Kanda, I think now would be as good a time as any to go to bed. What happened to the day though?"
"Well, you didn't wake up until noon. The a few hours later we had a meeting which took a while, and then we had dinner, and we're still partially jetlagged."
"Oh, well let's go to bed then," Allen said as he headed towards the door. "Come on, I hope you don't expect me to lead us back to our rooms."
Kanda signed knowing he was right. He walked towards the door and didn't look to see if Allen was following him. He knew that the white haired exorcist would have to or he would end up spending the night in the hallways. The walk wasn't very long, 10 minutes at most.
"Well Kanda, thank you for your help. I'll see you tomorrow."
"Che, whatever." Kanda walked into his room without looking at Allen. He stripped himself of his coat and shirt and threw it too the floor. Then he kicked his boots and fell onto his bed. He had ever intention of going right to sleep, but there was only one thing stopping him. There was a noise that sounded a lot like someone retching in the room next to his.
Allen's room.
'What the hell?' Kanda though. 'Why would Allen let someone in his room if they were just going to throw up. Unless…he's the one throwing up. DAMNIT WHY THE HELL IS THE BOY WHO EATS FIVE TIMES HIS OWN BODY WEIGHT THROWING UP?!'
Kanda stood up and stormed out of his room and into Allen.
"MOYASHI! GET YOUR PALE WHITE ASS IN HERE RIGHT NOW!" he screamed.
Moments later a paler than normal Allen appeared in the room. "Yes?" he asked in a somewhat horse voice.
"Care to tell me why I cane hear you throwing up?"
"No, not really." Apparently it was time for Sarcastic Allen to make an appearance.
"Let me ask you another question then. Where should I stick Mugen if you don't answer the question?"
"You wouldn't."
"Moyashi, don't you know that some of the world's greatest swordsmen have miscalculated the swing of their swords and killed themselves? I could very easily 'accidentally' stab you."
"You're too much of a perfectionist to stab a comrade."
"My sword is out, and I'm slightly drowsy. I can't be held completely responsible for my actions."
"Ok, okay, don't go and put me on the barbeque! Geez."
"I'm glad to see that we agree," the Asian teen said. "Now speak."
"My Innocence doesn't actually need all the food I give it. It needs certain things. One day it might need Iron, the next day it may need Carbs, sometimes it's Vitamin C. I can't tell which one it is, so I eat a lot of everything. After my Innocence takes what it needs, I'm left will all of the extra. I can't humanly stomach it all, so I get rid of it. There, happy?"
"I've never heard of this before," Kanda said.
"You've probably also never seen anyone, even another Parasite exorcist eat as much as me."
Now that Kanda thought about it, none of the other Parasite types ate as much as Allen. "So why do you need to eat so much more than them?"
"Because the curse makes it harder for me to read what my Innocence needs. Are we done now or do you have some other questions for me?"
"No, I'm done for now. Don't think this is the end though, I'm going to get to the bottom of this," Kanda said as he left the room.
"Yeah, I'm so sure you're going to do it. I control what you know and what you don't know," Allen muttered to himself.
Yay for the 14th chapter! I'm so glad that I was able to come up with it. So I hope that the Innocence thing makes sense. If you have any questions ask me.
Please review.
