Chapter Fourteen: Dangerous Forgiveness

Disclaimer: I do not own the Vocaloids. But only the characters I create within the story.

"Go on Len! Just go back to Gaku's house to talk things over with him!" Erin said in a strained as she tried to push her wimpy brother, Allen, out the door.

"No! Don't make me! Look at the scratches on my arm! It's still bleeding even now!" he shouted defensively.

"Maybe he has a good explanation! You know how he has a weak body! Maybe that's just one of the symptoms!" she shouted back.

"A symptom that cause you to harm people, what?" asks Allen.

"Uh...yeah!" said Erin awkwardly. Then she continued to push her brother. He was now putting his hands on the frame of the door so he can't move anymore. Plus he found it embarrassing that his sister can move him, a boy.

"Just-" he turned around and ran into the house, towards his room. Erin was right behind him and he made it just in time into his room and locked it. She pounded on his door loudly and shouted about how he was such a wimp that is so useless during serious times. Allen, he was lying on the floor, curled up in a ball, was feeling bad for himself. He knew he acts like a little girl at almost everything, but now, since he was 14, he finds it a bit demeaning. Erin, on the other side of the door, had given up was swearing silently. She walked into her room and locked the door.

After a few minutes, Allen finally came out. But quietly because he didn't want Erin to get involved. He walked down to the living room and rummaged in the drawers. He took out a pair of scissors and stuffed it inside his pocket. "In case of emergencies." he reminded himself. If Gaku ever attacks him again, he would use the scissors the defend himself. But then he thought scissors would just be cruel. So he went to the kitchen and found the pepper spray, hoping it works well on people's eyes. He grabbed the basket he had prepared for Gaku from the living room table. Then, he ran out the door, towards his older friend's mansion.

Allen hesitated at the door of the large mansion. "Is this a good idea? But, I can't turn back now..." He rang the pressed the button on the intercom and after a few seconds, a gruff voice answered. "Hello?" Gaku asked. Allen breathed in deeply.

"It's me Gaku. I'm back." he said. There was silence at the other end, then the gates finally opened. He walked through them and onto the porch. He opened the door and headed inside. Allen looked around, trying to figure out where Gaku was. "Probably in his room." he finally concluded. He walked up the long stairs and when he finally made it to the 3rd floor, he walked into the hall. Gaku's bedroom was the last door so he walked over there and knocked softly. There was a soft stir of blankets, then the door opened a crack. "Hey." said Allen.

"What are you doing here? I thought you would avoid me for the rest of your life." Gaku said in a hoarse voice. "Huh. So he wasn't talking much after the last time." Allen tried not to laugh nervously.

"How could I ignore you? Didn't I tell you that I promised to watch over you? And besides, you sound like you need the company. If you've gone one more day without talking, I'm sure you'd be mute forever." Gaku laughed, but then it turned into a cough. "Hey, don't push yourself too hard." Allen joked. But then, things got serious.

"Allen, you should leave." Gaku said when his coughing stopped. Allen sighed.

"We've had this conversation before already! I don't care what others think-"

"No. It's actually for your safety. You see, I think something else far more horrifying is happening to me. Besides the fact that the inside of me is changing slowly, I think my mind and brain is changing too. But, in a bad way. I have told you right? About 'it'. My mind is probably being corrupted by that change and that's probably what caused me to harm you last time. And for that, I'm sorry Allen." Gaku apologized. Allen finally understood.

"It's not your fault. I understand you now. I always will. 'Cuz we're the best friends ever." He smiled. But Gaku shook his head.

"You don't understand. They're here. And they'll stay here until the deed is done." he said in a low voice. Allen gave him a confused look.

"And what is that supposed to mean?" he asked the older one. Gaku just shook his head.

"Just promise me, if you ever see someone suspicious or dangerous, please, run into a crowded area with your sister. And also, protect all of your friends. Protect everyone you can..." he said in a faraway voice. Allen nodded. He still wasn't sure what the heck Gaku was talking about but since he trusted him so much, he at least tried to understand him.

Later, Allen had led Gaku down the stairs and onto the living room couch. Gaku's condition had gotten worse and it was saddening to Allen. "Hey Allen." said Gaku.

"Hm?" asked Allen.

"So, have you forgiven me for 'that'?" he asked. Allen gave him a kind smile.

"Of course, you're forgiven." he said. Gaku sighed.

"But, you might forgive me a scratch, but what if I do something much more harmful? Like..." Gaku said sadly. Allen frowned. He didn't like how sad his friend was and wanted to cheer him up.

"No really, it's okay. I trust you, remember?" he said in a promising voice. Gaku managed to give him a smile but he knew that it wasn't true. Nothing was. "Everything's a lie."

"Allen, I want you to remember this: whenever you think one problem is over, there would always be another one ahead of you." Allen sweat dropped.

"Fine, fine. I understand." "Not really." Gaku looked out the window and sighed. "You don't understand yet Allen. But once you do, it'll be too late."

"So, I guess someone finally manned up." said Erin as Allen walked through the door. She turned the T.V. off and stood up.

"Yeah. I did. Turns out, I had nothing to worry about." said Allen as he placed some groceries he bought and placed it on the table.

"See? Told ya!" Erin said happily when she jumped up.

"But he was acting more creepy than all the other times. I think he's just worried." he said. Erin nodded.

"Oh. So that's the only problem?" she asked.

"No. He keeps on saying 'they're here' and all that. And listen to what he told me to remember: 'whenever you think one problem is over, there would always be another one ahead of you'. Is that weird or what?" he said.

"I see... But we should listen to him. You also remembered to forgive him about what happened last time right?" she asked carefully. Allen nodded. "Good. Then we're all fine I guess."

"Yeah, for now." Allen mumbled.

"What?" Erin snapped.

"Oh, nothing~" teased Allen as he walked to his room.

A.N. Allen has forgiven Gaku for his actions. Yay right? Not quite yet. Gaku seems to be hiding something that he knows, but what? And why does he hide it from the person that trusts him the most more than anyone? Hopefully, we will know soon enough. Please review for me~~~!
