Lece: Alright, sorry for the late update!

NEW BLACK ORDER
Chapter 14: Shocked

"Tell me about it." Leo said as he gazed at Allen.

"He saved me from a Level Two akuma. It was our first mission together." Allen replied. "He had never done that for anyone else before so it shocked me and excited me at the same time."

"Same here." Leo said as he leaned back. "I say I was about 13 when I started to notice the signs of my affection."

"How did it go for you?" Allen asked.

"Well…"

Leo sat behind a rock. His scythe lay beside him. He was panting and nursing a cut on his leg.

"Damn akuma." He cursed as he tried to move.

Leo was dressed in tan shorts that came to his knees, hiking boots and a white t-shirt. The cut ran from his knee to about 2 inches from his ankle. The blood was still flowing meaning it was pretty deep.

"Sensei's gonna have my ass for this." Leo said as he leaned back feeling light headed. "I can't move and the bleeding won't stop."

"LEO!" he heard voices yelling. "LEO!"

'They're searching for me.' Leo thought as he closed his eyes. 'Just go away.'

He heard someone knell beside him and a place a hand on his forehead. Leo opened his eyes but his vision was blurred.

"Leo."

"Sensei?" Leo said as he winced in pain.

"Stay still you've lost a lot of blood." Melody said as she looked at his leg. "It's deep too."

"I'm alright." Leo said trying to stand again.

"I said stay still." Melody said as she held him down gently.

Leo was shocked at how kind her voice was towards him. Also how gentle her touch was. Her hand started to glow and she placed it over the wound. Leo bit his lip so hard it started to bleed.

"Don't do that Leo." Melody said as the wound healed. "You don't want to bite a chunk out of you lip."

Leo obeyed still amazed she wasn't yelling at him. He hissed in pain as the wound healed.

"It's almost healed." Melody said as she ran her free hand through his messy short hair. "Just relax."

"I'm sorry." Leo said making Melody look at him shocked. "I didn't pay attention."

"Leo I'm not mad at you." Melody said making Leo look at her confused. "Why did you think I'd be mad at you?"

"Because I didn't pay attention to my surroundings. You stress that a lot." Leo replied making Melody shake her head.

"Leo, you fought off a Level 2 by yourself and got away with just this wound." Melody said as her hand stopped glowing. "I say that deserves praise instead of punishment."

"Really?" Leo said making Melody smile as she pulled out a first aid kit.

"Of course, I'll make your favorites for dinner tonight."

Leo blushed as she bandaged his wound.

'She's never praised me before or smiled at me like that.' Leo thought as she stood.

"Come on, give me your hand." Melody said as she held her hand out. "You need to walk with your scythe so you won't open the wound again."

"Sensei." Leo said as she helped pull him up.

"Yes?"

"Thank-you."

Melody smiled and kissed his forehead. Leo's blushed deepened.

"You're welcome."

END

Allen blinked at Leo who sweat dropped.

"Yes I know it's pathetic." Leo stated as he stood. "But I think that's when it started."

"At least you let her know about your feelings." Allen said as he stood. 'He'll never get to know mine.'

"We better head back." Leo said as he started to walk away. "Lisle makes a mean dessert."

Melody sat on Komui's desk while the rest of them sat on the couch. Leo sat in a chair.

"I will be going in search of the Heavenly powers while the four of you are going to meet Yuusuke at the safe house." Melody said as she stood. "I want you to head back to HQ where Aaron will be safe. I must do this mission alone."

"Sensei one of us should go with you." Leo said as she glanced at him. "You could need the extra set of eyes."

"No, you are to protect not only Aaron but Allen as well." Melody replied looking at Allen. "The Noah want him dead so he needs to be kept safe."

"I can take care of myself." Allen stated making Melody raise an eyebrow. "I should go with you."

"When I say no I mean it." Melody replied. "I have to make sure that everyone is safe. You haven't been a General long enough to understand this world."

The other three glanced at Allen. Allen stood and glared at Melody.

"Keep everyone safe? I wanted to do that too. But while I was away the Noah attacked my friends and KILLED THEM!" Allen said catching Melody off guard. "I heard what Akira told you. No survivors were found."

Melody hung her head. "So you were listening in on the conversation."

"Yes I heard." Allen said making Leo stand.

"Allen back off." Leo said making Allen look at him. "You've said enough."

"So you knew too." Allen said as Aaron stood.

"No we just found out." Aaron said as Lisle teared up. "But don't vent on Sensei."

"If she was there then why didn't she do something?!" Allen yelled.

"All of you should get going right now." Melody said as she left the room. "I'll call you in due time."

She slammed the door leaving them alone. Allen gripped his hands into fists. Aaron sat back down and tried to stop Lisle from crying.

"Let's get moving." Leo said as he walked towards the door. "I have my teleporter remote with me."

"You three can go." Allen said making Leo look at him. "I'm going after the Noah."

"You shouldn't." Lisle said as Allen walked towards the door.

"I don't care what you think." Allen said as he passed Leo. "I'm going."

A blade was pressed against his throat. He looked to see Leo with his scythe. Allen noticed a fire in Leo's eyes.

"The hell if you are." Leo said as Allen glared at him. "Look, I might not be able to understand what you're going through right now but you just insulted all of us by the way you treated our Sensei."

"Let me go." Allen said. "If you don't I'll make you."

"Some way of showing respect." Leo said not flinching. "We've done many things for you. All we ask of you is to follow the rules."

"Rules?" Allen said looking at him. "I'm telling you now as you superior to get out of my way."

"Now you pull rank. Sensei is your superior." Leo snapped. "You have to listen to her. You wanted to be treated as a dog like the rest of us."

"Stop it you two." Aaron said running over.

"Stay out of this." Leo said the blade of his scythe glowing. "I won't have him treat any of us like this."

"Last time, get out of my way." Allen said raising his voice.

Little yellow balls surrounded both of them. Both glared at Aaron.

"I said stay out of this." Leo said as Aaron folded his arms.

"If both of you don't back down I'll blow both of you up." Aaron said making Lisle stand. "I'm tired of this. I won't hesitate either."

"Aaron calm down." Lisle said as she walked up to him.

"This is the only warning the two of you get from me." Aaron said as Allen turned towards him.

"If you try to stop me I'll fight my way through." Allen said making Aaron shake his head.

"I warned you." Aaron said as he snapped his fingers.

A yellow ball collided with Allen's right shoulder. It exploded causing Allen to fall to his knees.

"AARON!" both Leo and Lisle yelled.

"I told you I wouldn't hesitate." Aaron said as he knelt down to be face to face with Allen. "Now you're going to listen to me. You are going to come with us whether you like it or not."

"Bastard." Allen said as he gripped his shoulder.

"I didn't do anything that would damage you." Aaron said as he stood. "You'll just have a burn."

"You went overboard." Leo said making Aaron glare.

"You remember what life was like for us don't you? I won't have anyone disobey." Aaron replied. "I wasn't the only one who went overboard."

Aaron left the room with Lisle right on his heels. Leo sighed and helped Allen up.

"He's gone into rebel mode." Leo said as he checked Allen's shoulder. "Just a first-degree burn nothing too bad."

"I'm a jackass." Allen said as they walked out of the room.

"Right now you are." Leo said as they walked down the hall. "You just need to vent that anger out on the akuma."

"It's hard to." Allen replied. "I've lost everyone I've ever known."

"We did too." Leo stated making Allen look at him. "Our parents died in the war."

"But now you have someone." Allen pointed out. "I have no one left."

"What are you talking about? You have us and Fou." Leo said as they turned a corner. "Fou is the only person who knows you. I'm sure she's taking this hard since Baku won't be by her side."

"I didn't even think about her."

"See you're not the only one whose heart is dying."

"I'm still an ass."

"Well you will be better in due time."

"What makes you so sure about that?"

"You don't seem the type to stay in the dumps for so long."

'If you only knew.' Allen thought as they came up on Lisle and Aaron.

"Now that everyone's calmed down, let's go." Leo said as he pulled out a remote similar to Melody's. "Yuu's waiting for us."

"One question." Allen said. "Where is this safe-house?"

"Can't tell you that." Aaron said as Leo pushed the button. "This one has to remain a secret."

Allen blinked and they were in front of what looked like a traditional Japanese house. He glanced around, they weren't in Japan. These woods were different from what he was used to. They weren't even in Europe.

"This place…" Allen said as he looked around.

"Don't even try to figure it out." Leo said as the sliding doors opened. "Hey Yuu!"

"Call me by my full name you baka." Yuusuke growled as he looked at everyone. "Get in here."

"He's in a bad mood." Lisle pointed out as they removed their shoes.

"I can understand why." Aaron said as they stepped inside. "He did his best to save everyone and it was all for naught."

"Shut the door." Yuusuke said as they walked into the hall.

Once he made sure all the doors were locked he turned to the others.

"Akira has false information on what happened." Yuusuke stated making Allen look at him confused. "Not everyone was killed."
