Chapter 21: Captured Memory
Exhausted and hungry from the day's trial, Allen and Lenalee eat at the cafeteria with their friends. They didn't hesitate to eat because of fatigue. It is also bad for Lenalee and their unborn children if she doesn't gets proper nutrition that's why Jerry made a special meal for her. The usual Allen ate as much as he can. There was like a contest in eating between Allen and Lleana, who has the same apettite like his father. Alex, Angie and Hana joined them along with Lavi, Agatha , Miranda and Krory. The long wooden table was filled with food and friends who were reunited once again.
"Tomorrow, we will be training again now that you already breach a general's level." Alex started after finishing his meal. "I'll go two on one with you two if that's okay with you."
"But I'm not yet done with them, Nii-san!" Lleana demanded finishing the last of her favorite food, the mitarashi dango.
"You have to train, Miranda-san and Agatha-shishou for tomorrow. Besides, you need to rest a bit. Among us, you took the most damage." Alex replied.
"Well. If that's how you feel, Alex-kun. I see nothing wrong bonding with us, right Allen-kun?" Lenalee teased. "Aw. Cute. Father and Son bonding moments and I'll be there to see it."
Alex and Allen both sighed upon hearing her words. But there was a strange bliss that they all felt between those lines. Indeed, they are a strong family as well. Their bonds are stronger felt than being seen.
"Uhm. Lenalee." Allen started getting her attention.
"Moyashi! What is it?" Lenalee replied trying her new teasing method for the second time. The whole crowd went silent upon hearing her saying that word. It was so unlike her.
"Lenalee, what did you just call Allen?" Lavi asked looking puzzled after hearing the unusual word coming out of her mouth.
"Moyashi." She giggled.
"Okasan! Don't call Otousan like that! Look!" Lleana said pointing at Allen who went emo all of the sudden. They laughed at the two exorcists.
"I'm sorry, Allen-kun! What is it that you want to say?"
Rising from his despair, Allen stood up and took her hand. "Let's go to the piano room."
"But, the door is already gone!" Lenalee replied.
"That door should be there by now. Trust me!" Allen winked at Lleana. It seems like the two of them have a plan or something. Nodding with his request, they went to the ark once again.

Komui went to the science department to view the greatest miracle of the night. The department held a video of the event that took places in the Order's grounds. The man with the glasses viewed it.
'This is not the usual Crown Clown and Crystal Boots. Looking at them like this seems to prove that they exceed the limits. Indeed, the heart of all innocence is too powerful. Who would have guess that it splitted into two pieces after the great flood.' Komui thought placing his hand on his chin. 'What's that on her hip? Could it be?'
"Supervisor, the two really resembles the two angels in one book that I read." Johnny commented while viewing the scene.
"Really? Tell me about it." Komui said looking interested after being spooked all of a sudden forgetting what he pondered a while ago.
"Well, Lenalee-san resembles the angel of light, the caretaker of peace and purity, the symbol of life while Allen looks like the angel of darkness." The man with the geek glasses replied. "He is the symbol of death, justice and darkness itself."
"That's very interesting, Johnny! Indeed!" Komui grinned upon learning that story. "But I believe that they will be the ones who will determine their identity. As for now, these angels are sent by God, Himself!"
The australian captain, Reever, rushed towards the science department. He was desperately looking for the man with the beret.
"Supervisor Komui!" He shouted.
"What is it, Reever?"
"I just heard from Lavi that Allen is going to reactivate the ark!"
"Okay. Let's go there! Please fetch Bak-chan, Johnny!" Komui ordered rushing. Johnny nodded and went of as well.

Allen and Lenalee went to the highest point of the Order. They were greeted by the dead end, the former location of the ark's door. Nobody have been here for the last 5 years.
"Allen-kun. The door is not here." Lenalee said.
"It's here. You should take a better look." Allen smiled at her while a door was slowly materializing infront of them. He was certain on what is he doing.
"How did you know that? Eh. Allen-kun, your eyes." Lenalee gazed his golden eyes. She wasn't used to the golden eyes that were looking at her.
"It's okay. This is still me, Lenalee! I won't let anything happen to you."
He gave her a warm hug of assurance. As they grow more mature, their relationship grew stronger. It only felt like yesterday when she saw him on his way up the former Order's location. Back then, they were still uncertain. But now they were more than what they expected.
"Let's go, Lenalee."
The two lovebirds entered the ark through the door. The place was still the same. The town inside was still the same as well as the center tower. The signs of Asia, India, America, Australia, Europe and others were still on their corresponding doors.
"It still looks the same." Lenalee commented.
"Yeah. It feels like my second home."
The two were reaching the old piano room where they used to meet whenever their lonely or just coming back from the missions they accomplished. The room was a witness of their growing innocent love for each other and the moments of loneliness because of missing each other.
The white piano was still there inside the room along with some table and chairs and a bed just near one of its corners. The window was giving light to the said room.
"It's still the same. Nothing changed." Allen muttered as he sits on the piano seat. Touching a few keys, the notes came out. "Say Lenalee."
"What is it Allen-kun?" She asked while seating beside him leaning her head on his shoulder. She was always like that whenever he plays for her. Somehow it adds comfort whenever she's exhausted plus the song often puts her to sleep without knowing. He didn't took advantage of it though. He was a gentleman letting her stay like that eventhough he waits for hours for her to wake up finding herself still on his side.
"Aside from the piano, what instrument you like best?"
"Hmm. That's a tough one, Allen-kun." She giggled. "But I guess I like the violin."
"Wow. But why the violin?" He asked out of curiousness.
"Uhm. I've seen a beautiful woman back in France who was famous because of her talent in playing the violin. That's why I guess I picked the violin as the second."
"I see." He smiled. "I was thinking that if there was only a violin here, you might have time to play it with me."
"Don't be silly, Allen-kun!" Lenalee replied pressing the keys of the piano. "You know I can't play the violin."
"We won't know until we find out. If I wish for it, the violin might appear." He concentrated thinking of the instrument. Then something glowed behind them. A musical instrument was resting on the lone bed. It was a white violin.
"Wow. Are you a wish maker or something? It is beautiful, Allen-kun!" Lenalee giggled at the time her hands held the violin. It was light and perfect for her. "I don't know, but I'll try imitating how they play it."
"Just play with your heart. Then everything will be in their right tempo."
"Wow, you sound like a musician now, Allen-kun." She chuckled before trying the violin. "Here goes nothing!"
She tried her first attempt. It sounded right just like what he thought her about playing the piano. It was almost the same. She was a natural talent.
"Wow, you impressed me, Lenalee. You can play it well." Allen commented. "Now, I will enter with the piano."
The two lovers become two musicians. Their melodies were just like them, blending and uniting producing a wonderful music that filled the room. With every note being played, they put their soul in it.
Their music was giving life to the ark once again. It has been a long while since then. Now there are two players.
She was so happy to find the right instrument for her. She never knew that she could play the violin. Maybe the violin itself is special. It plays what the heart desires. Ending the song, she smiled and open her eyes. She was so into the music.
"Allen-kun! I did it!" Lenalee said with so much bliss. Then she noticed him kneeling before her like a Knight bowing down before the Princess. "Eh? Allen-kun, what's wrong?"
"LENALEE LEE!" He shouted while he was bowing down. There was a trace of nervousness on his voice. Getting something in his pocket, he brought out a small red box. "I've been waiting to give you this!"
"Eh? What is this about?" She blushed at the moment. She wasn't use to the thought that her Allen-kun is bowing before her. Her body felt a warm feeling that she always knew whenever she was with him. His silver eyes also speak of it.
He opened the red box and reveal what is inside to her. It was gold in color. It is what every woman wants from their lover. The golden ring greeted the woman with a shimmering glow. It was beautiful.
The pressure was building up inside him now that he showed her the ring. All he needs to do now is to ask her those words before anything happens. It is possible that Komui might appear. Anything is possible with that man when it comes to his sister. Earlier before this, Allen even ask advice from his daughter, Lleana, if what he was planning was good. Lleana even gave him a strong push agreeing on his plan. Taking in a deep intake of air, he went for it.
"Lenalee Lee!" He said. It's now or never. "Will you marry me?"
She looked happy about it. His words was enough. And besides, he took in a lot of courage pills to ask her out. She noticed that was really nervous about it because of his sweat. She was also into that mood.
"Uhm. Yes. Silly." She replied. The "yes" word was enough for him. All paid off. Then he went for her finger. He tried to put on the ring.
"Uhm. Allen-kun, that's my index finger. That's why it doesn't fit it." She giggled noticing his innocent mistake. He blushed and then finally placing the ring on her left ring finger. He was embarrassed because he tried to make the ring fit the wrong finger. Then he hugged her and whispered.
"Thank you, Lenalee!"
"Well this calls for a celebration!" Lavi interrupted entering the room with most of their friends. "Congratulations, Allen and Lenalee. I can't believe that you are already going at that stage in life!"
"Lavi!" The two lovers said chuckling.
"Congratulations, Allen-senpai, Lenalee-senpai. I'm so happy for you two!" Agatha greeted the two of them.
"Lenalee-chan, I wish you all the best with Allen." Miranda said crying again. "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry because it's the first time two of my friends are marrying each other. I don't know if I'm acting properly! I'm so sorry!"
"Ai. Don't worry too much, Miranda-san!" Lenalee wiped her friends tears.
"Allen, I have seen you grow mature de aru. Back then, you always save me from being fooled so I'm wishing you goodluck!" Krory said with tears.
"Thanks a lot Krory-san!" Allen replied.
"Tch. You didn't have to force me to be here usagi!" Kanda said crossing his arms over his chest while leaning at the door.
"Don't be like that, Yuu."
"I told you many times not to call me that usagi!"
The four time travelers were also there. They greeted the engaged lovers. Lleana was so happy about it. Alex made no comment.
The sound of footsteps were drawing near them. Five individuals were rushing towards the piano room. The Great Bak of China was trailing from the four.
The man with the beret rushed in for some interrogation.
"Allen-kun, is the ark functional once again?" Komui asked the white haired exorcist.
"Yup. We can use it again!"
"I'm glad." Komui stopped when he saw a shimmering object being worn by her sister. His eyebrows twitched the moment he saw the golden ring. "Allen-kun!"
"Ye-yes?!"
"Did you just ask my innocent Lenalee to wear that ring?"
"Uhm. Yes! Komui-san, I can explain!"
"Nii-san! Stop questioning my fiancé like that!" Lenalee interrupted. She sensed that his brother's sister complex would activate any minute. She has to stop it before it's too late.
"HOW DARE ASK MY PRECIOUS LENALEE TO BE YOUR FIANCÉ?! YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME ABOUT THIS LENALEE!!" There he goes again, crying and crying.
"Nii-san! I told you yesterday remember but you won't listen to Allen-kun."
"HE BRAINWASHED MY LENALEE! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!"
"Nii-san, Allen and I would become parents soon and now is the right time for this! So please stop now."
She was ignored. His sister complexity was reaching the highest level unimaginable. His smile was just like a Noah. That creepy twisted smile gave Allen his nightmares back when he was hiding from Komui. If there is one thing that Allen fears, that would be Komui.
He reached and brought out a remote control from his uniform. "THIS TIME IS PAYBACK TIME! LET'S GO KOMURIN 007!"
He pushed it. It's over for Allen. He pushed it again. Nothing was happening. No Komurin 007 was showing up.
The man with the geek glass grinned at Allen. It was him. He betrayed Komui by reprogramming the remote.
"What are you blabbing about, Komui?" Bak asked and then he noticed it as well.
'No. I can't be. That thing is not from the great me. It must be. No. He did not! This is not happening!' He was having his hives once again. Johnny and Reever knew this would happen so they went prepared.
"Let's go, Johnny!" Reever ordered.
"Lou Fa-san, quick! The Tapper!"
"Oh. Ye-yes! Here!"
The girl with the glasses and braids gave them two bluish fluids from her lab coat. The two immediately injected the "Tapper" to the supervisor and the Great Bak of China.
"Oi. What did you just do to them?" Alex asked.
"Are they alright?" Hana followed.
"You guys give me the chills." Angie commented.
"What did you injected them, Johnny?" Allen asked.
"Oh. This baby, the "Tapper" is formulized to prevent Komui rage and Bak Hives. I have been waiting to test it ever since but I didn't have a chance!"
"But why name it "Tapper"? Lavi followed up a question.
"Because it was Tapp's idea."
A moment of silence.
"Oh. There's no need to be lonely. Now let's capture this moment!" Johnny said wiping his tears.
"H-how?" Lenalee asked.
"By means of this!" Johnny replied revealing a camera. He placed it before them and set the timer. They all went to take their pictures taken. Komui and Bak were looking dumb while Kanda was dragged in by the great Usagi. Krory and Miranda stood at the ends. The scientists knelt in front along with the dumb ones. The four time travelers stood beside the two lovers. And a the flash of the the camera event though they were shock causing a nearly candid shot, they made a memory to remember.

G.N: That's the end of chapter. The next one is up so please read and review.
here is another follow up scene. I hope it's clear.
xXx
Ring-ring-ring.
It's already 4:44 in the morning by looking at Komui's clock. Komui was still awake browsing some of his files. He took the phone call.
"This is Komui Lee speaking. How can I help you?"
His face frowned after hearing the caller's message. He nearly dropped the phone upon hearing it. Then he put it on hook and rushed away from his room.
"What the hell did that caller say?" G.N asked himself while he was typing. He felt the chill because he was writing was he was currently doing. "I hope nothing bad happened to the other exorcists."
