Hello! I'm back with another chapter. Yay! So I have a question to those of you who have read this far... have you noticed something about Allen and his Innocence? If you have Review or PM me telling me what it is.

Reviewers:

Beezlebub01: Thank you for reviewing. I present to you the update that you asked for. I hope that this has some smexy parts. If not let me know and I will try to put some in the next chapter.

Aika-tan: To answer your questions, Allen didn't need anything mostly because he didn't need it. He doesn't need to eat as much. He doesn't need a change of clothes or anything else. As for the bottom of the coat I put that in there mostly because I wanted the readers to see this. It tells that Allen has been thru so much in the 3 months that he was gone. If it was slow going and a safe mission he would have been back sooner and his coat would have been brand new. And his coat wasn't and Exorcist coat. And it is in during the time when Allen, Lenalee and Lavi head to Edo to protect Cross. And right before they enter the Ark. \

redchocobo: Thank you for review. And I'm sure that he's not even if he could be. You can imagine him to be Sephiroth's son.

coolgirl: Thank you. No he didn't he was starting too when Mana died and he started to feel the hatred. But he became a full Noah during his last mission.

So thank you and please review! Disclaimer: I OWN NOTHING! Please excuse the spelling mistakes...

Chapter 4

They all sat on the boat thinking about the mission that was given them. They were to find and protect General Cross Marian? That seemed almost impossible. General Cross needing protection? They were all trying to get it wrapped around their heads when they heard a crash and a surprised yelp. The Exorcists jumped in surprise and looked toward the source of the noise. Allen had fallen asleep and the thing that was holding him up had collapsed and he was just as surprised. 'What a nice way to wake up.' Lavi thought with a smile. He watched as Allen rubbed his head after hitting it on the ground. Allen was indeed different but he was the same old funny Allen too. Allen reset the box that he was leaning against and laid back down, within minutes he was asleep. Lavi watched to make sure he was asleep before he started talking to the others.

"Hey you guys have noticed that Allen is different right?" He asked. Reciving several nods Lavi continued, "When did you first notice it?"

"When he got home from his latest mission." Most answered. Still some answered, "Since the beginning." Lavi was surprised by the latter answers but he shook it off. He continued to talk about the matter and his suspicions. Lavi was so intrenched in what he was talking about he didn't notice that Allen's breathing had changed. The white haired boy was listening to the whole conversation. He felt something in the pit of his stomach. What was it? Why was it so uncomfortable? They figured it out. He was in trouble if they figured it out. What should he do?

"If he is a Noah, shouldn't we kill him?" Someone asked. He recognized it, it belonged to Miranda. Allen's eyes widened. Why would she think that? He wasn't that dangerous, was he? Then his eyes narrowed. 'I knew she wasn't to be trusted. I'll have to get rid of her. She's going to turn the others against me.' He already had a plan set out, he would act soon. He could just see it now, her warm blood running threw his fingers and down his face and he would laugh as he watched the life drain from her face. He had to surpress a laugh but he couldn't surpress the shudder of excitment that ran threw his body. He couldn't wait.

Lavi saw Allen's body shiver. 'He's not awake is he?' he wondered. He didn't feel anything coming from the boy. But you can never be too careful. He stood up and walked over to Allen and looked at his face. He looked peaceful and his breathing was even, so Lavi thought he was still asleep but he was still catious. 'I'll have to talk quiter.' He went back to group and they continued their conversation. Little did they all know that the subject of their conversation was still listening.

Oooooooooooooooooooo

All was silent besides the creaking of the boat. Everyone was asleep besides a young man. He sat on the railings of the ship staring out to the ocean. He had a strange feeling but he just couldn't place it.

Please Noah-sama let me destroy them. I will make you proud. The voice kept calling but the boy just kept ignoring it. He didn't really care what the voice did. It could destroy the whole world and he wouldn't care. Slowly people started climbing onto the deck. The boy was alittle perterbed by the fact that people were desturbing him but it wasn't his ship so he really had no right to complain. He continued to sit there for awhile completely ignoring the red head that had walked up.

"Hey Moyashi-Chan. How long you been out here?" Lavi asked leaning agaisnt the railings watching the boys face.

"It's Allen. I don't know. Lost track of time. Several hours at most."

"And your bum isn't numb?" Allen looked at Lavi.

"What?"

"Your bum. Butt, Gluteus Maximus, Buttocks, Ass, and all those good names. Is it numb?" Allen looked rather confused then he burst out into hysterics. For several minutes he couldn't stop laughing. Finally catching a decent breathe he looked at Lavi.

"No. I'ts all good." Allen looked away toward the sea again. He seemed to be at peace. Then there was a noise and Lavi was sent flying into the mast. Allen watched in surprise as he was sent sprawling. He looked up and saw a shadow floating in the air. He glared at the shadow and knew exactly what it was, Akuma. He stood up and turned toward the offending creature a massive glare upon his face. He dare hurt Lavi? He will pay for what he has done. Then Lavi walked up to Allen's side without a scratch. Allen was indeed impressed then he remembered that Miranda's Innocence was able to turn back time for a while until she let it go. He growled. His plan to kill her would have to wait until after the mission. She was important after all.

Allen wasn't really paying attention until he heard more shouting and a scream. He turned to his left and saw the Akuma was a hairbreadths away from Lavi's face. Luckly for Lavi, Bookman had used his Innocence to block it. He turned and say Lenalee kneeling on the deck trying to hold back tears. Allen's face had a look of disgust on it. She was so whiny. She cried because her comrades were getting hurt instead of fighting. Allen was glad that he didn't have to rely on her. Allen went to help when he was thrown off the side of the boat.

Please Noah-Sama. Don't get involved. Let me handle this. Came a voice within his head. He sighed. Why did people have to think that he couldn't fight? He wasnt working for the Earl anyway. He started humming a small tune and was lifted up onto the deck. He looked and many people were laying there hurt waiting for Miranda's Innocence to work. Lenalee was no where to be found and Lavi was in the sky saving Bookman. Allen felt like he was at a lose. He had missed out on the fun. He looked toward the sky and felt the presence of three more Akuma, all level 2. He jumped onto Lavi's extended hammer and ran up it at a speed that could best Lenalee with her Dark Boots. When he got to the end of it he jumped lightly onto Lavi's head and pushed off. Lavi didn't even notice until he looked up and saw long silver hair flowing in the night above his head. He was amazed at first thinking it was an angel and then realized that it was Allen.

"Allen! What are you doing?" Allen turned in mid air and smiled at him.

"I'm going to put an end to this. You go back and save Bookman. Let me handle this." without another word Allen somehow kept going. Lavi decided to trust his silver haired friend and went back down. When he hit the deck every one was in a panic.

"Where's Allen?" they asked looking for him.

"Fighting the Akuma that are in the sky." Lavi answered simply. He watched as Bookman's wounds healed. Lavi was relieved. He turned toward the sky hoping that Allen would be alright.

Oooooooooooooo

Allen floated in the air using his Noah powers. He glanced around trying to locate the Akuma. After awhile he found them. With an evil smile he flew to where they were located. Slowly like a shadow lerking in the dark he snuck up on them. The said Akuma were happily shooting not even sensing the commanding presence that was steadily approaching. He comes up besides one and looks down.

"What you guys doing?" He asked innocently.

AHHH! They screamed. What is an Exorcist doing up here? Allen's eye twiched. 'Exorcist? They dare they lump him in the same catagory. He was a Noah! The 14th to be exact! He wasn't something so low as an Exorcist!' He glared down at the Akuma. The force of the glare plus the 14th's power, made one explode. He grinned as he watched the others expressions.

How dare you hurt him! You shall pay! They started after him and he dodged away easily. They swung back around and started firing at him. This continued for several minutes before he misjudged one and it hit him square in the shoulder. He cried out in pain and plummented back toward the sea. The Akuma laughed knowing that he was done for. Their bullets never cease to kill anyone it hits. Besides a Noah, but they didn't know the truth about the silver haired boy.

Allen was falling and there was a terrible pain in his shoulder. He knew that it wouldn't be too far before he hits the sea. And falling at the altitude and speed that he is, even being a Noah he couldn't servive. He tried despretly to get a hold of the air current so that he could start floating again but it just wouldn't work. Plus his wound hurt. It was taking longer to heal then most times, it was quite worrisome. He was several feet away from the deadly water before he finally caught himself. He was relieved and he let the air that had built in his chest. He looked toward the boat and saw it sinking. It wasn't supposed to do that. He then looked toward the area where he felt the other Akuma. There were bright lights flashing and sparking. He knew that Lenalee was fighting over there.

Deciding that he had his own battle to fight he shot back up to the clouds. By that time the clouds had cleared up and Allen could see the boat below. He then found himself in between the two Akuma that were left. They were shocked to say the least.

I thought you died!

"I'm not easily killed. And you made the biggest mistake of your miserable lives." Allen growled and without even blinking they both exploded. He smirked and slowly decended toward the boat. By the time he got back the big wooden box wasn't sinking anymore, to which he was grateful. And it seemed as though some people came out okay. With the help on Miranda's Innocence. The said Exorcist looked at him with almost a pleading look. He had to surpress the look of digust that wanted to show. But instead he smiled and asked, "Are you alright Miranda?" She looked mildly shocked.

"I'm not hurt. Thank you Allen-kun. But I'm worried about the crew and Lenalee." Allen bent down to her level. He smiled again. "I'm sure their going to be alright. Lenalee included. She doesn't give up easily. She'll be alright. Don't worry." That may have been what he said but in his mind he was having evil thoughts.

Oooooooooooooo

Lavi was getting concerned about Lenalee. The fighting subsided awhile ago and no sign of the girl. He wanted to go look for her but Bookman strongly refused saying that he was a Bookman and he should act like one. That was one of the things that pissed Lavi off about the Old Panda. He didn't seem to care what happened to the others. After awhile he couldn't stand it any longer and he jumped on his Hammer and started to extend it. Little did he know that Allen had tagged along.

After what seemed like forever of searching Lavi came across an Akuma carring a very large rock. He was curious and changed course. When he got closer he saw something within the rock. He gasped when he got a closer look.

"LENALEE!" He shouted at the top of his lungs. The Akuma was startled but after the first initial shock it came over to Lavi.

I'm so glad that you found me! My hands hurt from touching this Innocence, you don't mind taking it do you?

Lavi was shocked and at first didn't believe the Akuma that hadn't made an offensive move toward him. Lavi started asking it questions and after much talking he still didn't really believe it.

"She's telling the truth Lavi. Just grab Lenalee and we can head back." Came a voice from behind. Lavi almost fell of the Hammer from surprise. He whriled around seeing Allen.

"Allen what are you doing here?"

"I just tagged along. And I will take her so that this poor modified Akuma doesn't have to anymore." Allen said and walked off of the handle surprising Lavi yet again today. There were questions plauging the young Bookman's mind that he wasn't really getting any answers for. How could he do that, just float in mid-air? Why did he have this aura around him that seemed dark and dense? What was going on? These plus many more kept going thru his head. He barely realized that he was being left behind until Allen called out to him. Lavi shook himself and started retreating his Innocence. He had a feeling that he wasn't going to get answers fairly soon.

Oooooooooooooooo

After rescuing Lenalee and meeting Chomeskue they finally finished their voage. Allen was getting bored and when he gets bored... well things don't end well. Right when he was about to go absolutly nuts from boredom they reached Edo. They borded a smaller lifeboat and Chomeskue lowered them into the sea. People were crying because all the people that were staying on the ship were the ones that weren't going to live when Miranda's Innocence stops. Allen knew that he should be sad but he couldn't get himself to feel anything for them. And he was getting really irritated with both Miranda and Lenalee crying. He just wanted to go over there and strangle them. But he knew that that would cause too much trouble and he didn't want to have to deal. Plus he was coming back to the same conclusion, Miranda was needed. Rephrase, her Innocence was important. He really didn't care about her, but her Innocence was important for the sucess of this mission. He kept thinking about this that he didn't even hear Chomeskue talking about how Edo was like a breading ground for Akuma. Even if he did hear he wouldn't really care. They would stay away from them, as long as they didn't get seperated.

"You guys have to stay close to me, and I can lead you thru. Don't get lost or you won't make it." Chomeskue said with a grim expression. Allen didn't care. He wanted to get this over with and go home. Or better yet kill all the Akuma that lived in Edo. He could feel the bloodlust building. He wanted to kill so badly, wanted to feel blood run thru his fingers. It kept building and he didn't realized that Chomeskue was acting funny.

Chomeskue had felt that bloodlust and had felt it grow. She couldn't figure out where it was coming from but she didn't like it. It felt like a Noah's bloodlust. It was scary and nerve racking. She choose to ignore it hoping it was nothing to worry about but it felt like it was following them. She didn't like it and finally she turned around and looked amongest the group. They were shocked that she had stopped to suddenly. She looked around and saw that the boy in the back wasn't paying attention. He was staring off and he seemed to have a dark shadow swirling from his feet. She knew it was coming from him and she was going to say something when he quickly looked at her.

'Say anything and I will kill you with no reserve.' Came a thought penetrating her mind. She could feel the lust in those words. She knew that he would do it, and enjoy it. So she smiled at the others, told them that she thought she heard something but it turned out to be nothing and they continued on their way. They kept walking having no attacks but Chomeskue knew it was the bloodlust. The Akuma were scared of him, and they didn't want to come near for fear of getting killed. But she also knew that they had probably informed the Earl about this strange Exorcist and the Earl was probably waiting for them. She shook her head and continued. They finally made it toward the middle of Edo where they found something shocking, all the Akuma in Edo Japan were gathering there. Morphing together to make giant Akuma's. Chomeskue had never seen anything like that before. Then she was hit with a command by the Earl. She doubled over in pain, clutching her head. The others ran to her.

"Chomekue wants the matter?" Lavi shouted.

"She's reseiving an order from the Earl that she can't refuse." Allen said with a bored tone.

"What? I thought you were modified." Lenalee said shocked.

"I am. But this order is so big that I feel like my head will explode. The Earl has ordered this and I have a feeling that I will give in to the bloodlust. If that happens, I will self destruct."

"Why?"

"It's in my programing. General Cross programed me to do that. I can help but I don't know for how long." They made their way to the middle and were met by Tyki with one of his devilish smirks.

"Hello, Exorcists. I shall be entertaining you while the Earl gathers everything he needs. So lets play." Tyki said rushing toward them. Lavi jumped in the way and hit Tyki with all he had.

"You guys go! I'll take care of things here!" They others looked at him, nodded and ran toward the Earl. All besides Allen. He watched as Tyki threw Iron Hammer off of him and sent Lavi flying. Allen looked at Tyki and Tyki looked at Allen.

"Why hello Shounen. What are you doing here?"

"I have a mission to complete. Let me warn you now, you hurt any of my friends... and I will personally put an end to your existance. With much pain and suffering you will die." Allen said with a smirk that sent Tyki's nerves on high alert. 'When did he get so sadistic? And why did Tyki get chills?' Tyki was surprised and he tipped his hat.

"Well then. Why don't you play with me instead? So I don't hurt your friends." Tyki said with a smirk.

Allen smiled, "Okay. But don't regret your decision." Allen then lunged toward Tyki.

Another cliffhanger. So there you have it. Allen's really strange in this one but I hope that you enjoyed it and if you did review. And about that question... like I said, if you know the answer review or PM me the answer. If you still can't figure it out I'll try to get it clearer in the next chapters. But there you have it and I hope you liked. I'll try to update soon but I was in St. George all weekend and the Internet were I was sucked so that's why it took forever. Anywho... see you!
