Chapter 5: Family Member

It was a peaceful morning before the sound of an alarm tear through it like a knife through a paper. Allen groaned in agitation before poking his head out of his covers and turned off his alarm. Sighing in relief he snuggled back into bed for a few more minutes of sleep.

Wake up

Allen groaned once more at being disturbed, again.

'5 more minutes, Neah'

No can do Allen, remember what happen last time you slept late

'Road's not here, it's fine'

It's not fine! You can't be late besides it was your idea to attend school so wake up.

'Do it for me'

What?

'Attend school for me, just for a bit. I'm going back to sleep….'

And with that Allen entered a deep sleep causing Neah to take control of Allen's body. Pushing the covers aside Neah started to get ready for school. Nothing he could do about it since Allen can be a bit stubborn at times.

X-x-x-x-x

The school was bustling as the student was making their way to class. Students took their seat as the morning bell rang, announcing that class was about the begin. Regis who was thinking about the other night's investigation got interrupted when Ik-han offered to share his textbook since Regis didn't have one yet. Not too far from them, Yuna offered Seria to share as well.

Neah who sat not far from them smile softly at the interactions between humans and Nobles. Humans always seem to help others when needed. His thoughts were then interrupted when Shinwoo offered to share his textbook as well.

"Hey man you're new as well so let's share textbook, okay"

"I appreciate it, I'll take you up on that offer, thank you"

"No need to be all proper," laughed Shinwoo, "Allen was it? So where you from?"

"I was born in England," said Neah, "But I frequently travel due to my family's career"

"They're famous," asked Shinwoo, "What do they do?"

"We are all musicians," explained Neah before he could explain anymore the teacher announced that class was starting

'Neah'

Well look who finally woke up, got enough rest

'Yeah, thanks for taking over I slept pretty late last night'

I know, I'm giving you back control. Pay attention in class.

School seemed to go by in a flash and before you know it, the school day had ended. Putting his school work together Allen was once more approached by Shinwoo.

"Let's hang out, Allen"

"I don't mind, but what of your friends?"

"They're busy so I'm all alone," urged Shinwoo, "Come on, please"

"Alright"

Shinwoo took Allen to the same place where he and his friends first took Rai when he came. Online Gaming Room. He had thought that since Allen traveled around his whole life he should at least show Allen how to act like a modern teenager. Little did Shinwoo soon find out Allen shows no mercy. Ever. Slumping forward to his computer screen with the sign of defeat flashing over and over. Losing 29 times in a row Shinwoo sighed in depression. Allen laughed apologetically and soon explained how one of his family members got really into games some time ago and kept making him play with him. So naturally after playing so many time he soon got good at games.

"I don't know what I was expecting when we started playing," sighed Shinwoo in defeat, "But it was certainly not this. You're really a pro you know that Allen"

"Honestly speaking games are not my strong point," said Allen, "I'm more of the gambling type"

"For real," Shinwoo said shocked, who would have guessed well can't judge a book by its cover

Shinwoo glanced down to his phone and soon realize that it was getting late. He offered to walk with Allen to his house. Allen in confusion asked why and Shinwoo explained that he just wanted to see where Allen lived. Naturally, Allen didn't have any problem with Shinwoo's idea since his apartment was very average looking and nothing special. While walking together in the dark the two of them came across Regis and Seria surrounded by what looks like a bunch of delinquents.

"What are you doing?," Shinwoo asked stepping up to the thugs, "You messing with my friends?"

"Who are you?," said one of the delinquents turning his full attention to Shinwoo, "Don't get in the way."

"Hey wait," said the other delinquent stopping his friend, "That's Shinwoo Han"

The group of delinquents began to whisper among themselves when they soon found how Shinwoo identity. Shinwoo was known all around to be an amazing fighter that not even the upperclassmen would even think of messing with him. The leader of their little group had his doubts about him since Shinwoo turned out to look way different from the rumors.

"What now," whispered one of the delinquents a little intimidated

"Be quiet," shouted the leader of the group

Looking back to Shinwoo he notices that he wasn't alone. Standing right next to him was another but just by looking one would probably think of how weak he looked. That was if you looked at him at a first glance. But it was the boy's eyes that told another story. His usual silver eyes were dark and stormy and his smile seemed to promise a great deal of pain. The leader saw this and knew that they were going to enter a losing battle. He clicked his tongue and started to walk away but not before saying something.

"Shinwoo Han and Albino kid, don't think you can act up as you wish forever,"

"Whatever," smirked Shinwoo before turning to Regis and Seria, "You okay? They didn't hit you before we came, did they?"

"Pht, nothing happened," scoffed Regis

"Good," Shinwoo said relieved, "You guys going home? Hey, Allen I know I promised to take you home but wanna come with?"

"Sure why not. I got nothing better to do" shrugged Allen

"Don't get so comfy," said a voice from afar. Shinwoo and Allen quickly turned to see who it was. Not far from them stood the same delinquents from before only with more reinforcements

. "You three say back," said Shinwoo, "Regis, take care of Seira"

"You think that I'll just sit back and let you fight them all by yourself," said Allen, "I know I may not look it but I'm pretty strong myself."

Shinwoo smirked at Allen stubbornness, "Well who am I to stop you then."

"I rushed in case I couldn't find you," smirked the Leader, "I wouldn't have run if I knew you would still be here."

"Hey, how did you being you people so fast?" asked Shinwoo, "You ran fast but you ran back even faster"

"They happened to be nearby," growled the leader

"Move," said one of the delinquents who looked like he was an upperclassman of the Leader, "I came as fast I could when I heard Shinwoo Han was nearby. This is just a pretty boy, did you get the wrong guy? Was it all just rumors?"

"That's Shinwoo Han," confirmed the Leader

"Really? Rumors are not to be trusted," said the upperclassmen, "Still running away from a guy like this… Losers"

"What?"

Ignoring what the Leader was saying the upperclassman then glanced behind Shinwoo and commented on how doll-like both Seria and Regis looked. Even more, delinquents started to gather around them to have a better look at the two noble. What really ticked Shinwoo and Allen off was that one of the upper classmates seemed to claim ownership of Seria like she was some type of object. The guy tried to push Shinwoo aside to get closer to Seria that was until Shinwoo punched him causing making him fall back and lose consciously.

"Who dares to look at my friend like that," Shinwoo threaten at that large group of delinquents

The group then charged at Shinwoo and Allen, Shinwoo seemed to defeat them swiftly and with ease. Allen was impressed by Shinwoo strength and speed, he reminded him so much of a certain sword-wielding friend only less of a foul mouth and kinder. Allen could almost laugh at how similar they could be, focusing his attention on the fight he began to take them down with ease as well. Of course, Allen was holding back on it since he didn't want his cover to be blown just yet. The ones that were still standing gazed at the two in fear. Shinwoo glared at them as they slowly started to back away. Not wanting them to escape Shinwoo sprinted toward them and just when he was about the deliver the blow he paused.

"That's enough," M-21 said making his way toward them, "Enough is enough, Shinwoo. That also included you as well Allen Walker"

Shrugging Allen stepped and pick up his school bag that he dropped when the fight began. Shinwoo retracted his arm that was seconds away from hitting the leader but before he turned around he said one last thing.

"If you want revenge for this, come find me," threaten Shinwoo, "I won't accept you messing with my friend like this"

Turing Shinwoo walked toward his friend that was waiting for him. Walking up to them Seria handed him his bag. Thanking Seria he turned to Allen and complimented on how well he handles himself out there.

M-21 viewing the group noted on how much Shinwoo movements have developed. It's possible that his body still remembers the life-threatening situations that he's encounter before his memories were erased. M-21 also glance over to Allen, 'He is a lot stronger than his character makes him out to be but why does he seem so familiar?'

X-x-x-x

Shinwoo Pov

Allen is a pretty relaxed person, not only is he good at games but he's really strong. I wouldn't have believed how tough he was if I didn't experience it first hand. Funny but for some reason, it's like I've known him for a long time. Almost like I'm meeting a long time friend again.

"I'm glad that's over with," Allen said grinning, "Well I'm heading home after all since it's gotten pretty late already"

"I'll walk you home," I offered since that was our original plan before we met Seria and Regis, "Besides since Mister is here they can walk home with him. Is that alright Seria, Regis?"

Seria said nothing and nodded she then walked to where Regis and Mister were at. Huh? I wonder what they're talking about. Well, I can't just butt in into private affairs. Walking to Allen home we talked about random stuff, mainly about his travels.

"I've been having headaches and strange dreams lately," I blurted out to Allen, truthfully he is the only one I've told since I didn't want to get my friends worried. I don't know why but it just felt natural telling him my worries.

"That was random," Allen commented

"I know, but it just feels natural telling you, will you listen," I said rather sheepishly

"Alright, go on,"

"Sometimes during the day my head will start pulsing for no reason and will last for awhile, it doesn't really hurt but it's been getting worse," I said glancing at Allen making sure he was listening, "Then at night I'll have strange dreams where I'm in a room sitting at a large table with others but I can't make out their faces. I can't move from my spot but I can hear whispers around me saying stuff like family and take back, by then I'm awake and drenched in sweat."

Allen who was quiet through it all stopped walking. I looked at him questionably but was surprised when he started to pat my head. He wasn't as tall as me but he still manages to reach. Allen then smiled with knowing eyes as if he knew what I was going through, it was as if he was telling me not to worry, and for some reason, I believed him.

"Well this is my stop," he said pulling his hand back

Looking around I was surprised where he lived. I was expecting him to live in some expensive condo like headmaster since his family is rich. But surprisingly he live in an ordinary apartment, Allen seemed to read my mind before saying,

"I was the one who chooses it if it was my family that got to choose where I lived it would have been some expensive condo that's too large for one person," He said chuckling

"It shows how much they care about you then," I said

Allen nodded in agreement before heading to his apartment. Oh, that reminds me I didn't exchange phone numbers with him yet. I called him out one last time before he went inside his apartment.

"Hey Allen since we're friend now let's exchange our phone number," I said pulling out my phone

"Okay," Allen agreed as he pulled out his phone as well.

Exchanging our numbers we both said our goodbyes. Yawning I decided that it was time for me to go home as well. I really need a nap, hopefully, I don't have any strange dreams tonight.

X-x-x-x-x

Allen Pov

I had my suspicions about Shinwoo when I first meet him but I wouldn't have guessed that it would've been confirmed so soon. Who would have thought that I'll meet a new family member here when I only came to meet Rai again. The world's such a small place after all. It looks like he hasn't gone through a complete awakening, that could prove to be a problem. Will he be able to handle it? Slowly become a Noah will make any normal human being driven into insanity but then again with that crazy strength of his he's anything but human. I need to call Wisely and tell them about this, we need to be prepared in case we need to force him into a complete awakening.

Allen

'Yes?'

What do you think of Shinwoo

'He cares for his friends and is strong really strong. I can't wait till I introduce him to the others, I'm sure that they'll get along.'

Heh I can't wait to see the boy's expression when he does meet them

'Haha…'

Hey, aren't you supposed to call Wisely and inform him?

'Oh that right, I'll do that now'

Taking out my phone I dialed his number. This is going to take awhile to explain I hope that Road doesn't find out yet. She can be a bit exciting at times.

"Hello Wisely, It's me there's something I need to inform you,"

X-x-x-x-x\

(Couple days later)

M-21 was slowly walking alone down a dark street in deep thoughts. Until he looked up and notice the two nobles across from him. Stopping his track he stared at the two, he's not been in good terms with them since they first arrived. But that didn't bother him much since the feeling was mutual. What did bother him was their assumption of him, or more accurately Regis assumption of him.

"What is it," M-21 asked coldly

"I have a few questions for you," said Regis

"I'm not sure if I have answers for your noble question,"

"It seems you have some thoughts about us, am I right?"

"Well, I don't think you wanted to ask me that,"

"Maybe you're better than I thought let's make this simple" remarked Regis before continuing, "You know about the incident that happened at the hospital a while ago?"

"Hospital?"

"Why? You thought I'd ask something about you?," question Regis but M-21 didn't respond back, " Sorry, If I disappointed you. I don't know why you're hiding among humans, but I don't care."

"Yeah, I'm not interested in you, either"

"Good. Anyways, I'm sure you know about it"

'They are investigating that incident,' thought M-21 before he notices someone else walking toward them. Turning his head he was surprised to see that it was Allen. He personally doesn't know much about Allen who happens to transfer at the same time as the nobles but he knew that he was quickly becoming friends with Shinwoo. Sometimes Shinwoo would leave behind his usual group to hang out with Allen which is strange since Shinwoo is never really apart from his usual group of friends.

"Ah, good evening Mister," said Allen before noticing the two nobles with M-21 as well, "I'm sorry am I interrupting something?"

"It's nothing like that," said M-21 quickly dismissing Allen's question, "Anyway, what are you doing out so late? I would suspect that all students will be at home by this time."

"Oh, I recently got a part-time job nearby and I just left my shift. I was heading home before I notice you all," smiled Allen before peaking over to Seria and Regis, "What about you two? Are you heading home now, I wouldn't want another incident like last time to occur again"

"They were nothing. We didn't need you two to step in," Regis said

"If you say so," laughed Allen

"Here you all are. My Allen Walker I didn't know you'll be here as well," announced Frankenstein with Rai walking right behind him, "I came outside because all of you were late"

Allen's eyes flashed a golden color before returning back to silver. No one notice this quick change in Allen other than Seria and Regis. Seria said nothing but Regis frowned slightly at this.

X-x-x-x-x

Regis Pov

How unnatural, for a second Allen Walker eyes changed colors. Seria notice it as well, he's suspicious we'll need to keep an eye on him. I looked over to Seria she nodded agreeing to my statement. Allen is not human, but what is he? From the looks of it he's somewhat hostile of Frankenstein, did something happen between them. Frankenstein from the looks of it doesn't notice. Interesting.

"Let's go home," said Frankenstein clapping his hands together, "Do you want any dish in particular? I'll show you how good of a cook I am."

Rai who was standing behind Frankenstein the whole time started to walk forward. Was he going to say something? He took a few more steps before saying one word,

"Ramyeon"

Again?! That's all he eats, does he eat anything other than ramyeon.

"No good," Allen stated in front of Rai's face, "Is that all you eat Rai? You need to eat different foods as well not just one. It's bad for your health. Headmaster, you can't possibly be letting Rai eat the same thing every day?"

I notice that Frankenstein seemed to stiffen somewhat at what Allen just said. Allen notices this behavior as well and his eyes widen in disbelief. Even with Allen's small stature compared to everyone else he looks like a scolding parent. He huffed in annoyance and flicked Rai's forehead and then Frankenstein's. They both looked at him in shock while Allen continues to stare them down.

"Eat. Different. Types. Of. Food. Understood." said Allen in the most chilling smile that I've seen

Frankenstein swallowed and nodded while Rai only closed his eyes and continued walking. Allen smiled seeing as they understood and waved as he left. When he was finally out of sight I walked up to the modified human.

"We're not done talking," I said before walking away

Allen Walker, are you a threat to humans? He's yet to make a move, we'll keep an eye on him. Perhaps confront him on his intentions later. It's the noblesse job to protect the humans and if that boy shows any signs of becoming a threat we shall eliminate him.

(A/N): So did you like the surprise I presented? Shinwoo is one of my favorite characters in Noblesse. I wanted to do something special for his character since he doesn't get much screen time nowadays.

Question: What Noah should Shinwoo represent? The one available is Judge, Desire, Corrosion, Pity, Wrath, Bonds, Ability.

Until next time ^^
