Chapter 6: Learning on the job

{{{{{{{}}}}}}}

Allen sat on Lero while Road worked. Allen hummed happily. The Earl would be proud if they succeeded. Road thought it would be funny to nail the woman's hands to her clock. Shortly after, the three level two Akuma brought the two Exorcists. Allen covered her left eye. The white-haired girl really didn't want to see the Akuma's souls. Road sat on the arm of the chair Lenalee was sitting on. The green-haired girl was dressed in a fluffy dress and her hair was curled and in the pigtails that she always seemed to wear.

"She looks so good in this dress, don't you think so, Allen?" Road asked.

"Hmm? Oh. Yeah." Allen replied no where near as enthused as Road.

"You know... I should curl your hair some time, Allen~." Road smiled deviously.

Allen frowned at the idea.

"The red head's waking up Road." Allen said.

The red head stirred. Allen stood up and jumped to the ground, landing softly on the balls of her feet. The white-haired girl walked up to the red head. Green met silver as the red head stared at Allen.

"Hello again, Mr. Ex-or-cist." Allen said with a smile.

"You're with the Akuma? Why?" He asked calmly.

Allen sat down and thought.

"I don't really want to answer that question." Allen stated. "You never did introduce yourself. That was kinda rude."

The red head was obviously shocked.

"Or should I just call you Mr. Exorcist?" Allen questioned.

"Allen~! Come here~." Road called.

"But I'm talking to Mr. Exorcist!" Allen complained.

"Lavi." The red head spoke.

"Is that your name?" Allen turned back to him.

He nods. Allen smiled and stood up.

"Nice to meet you, mister Lavi~." Allen said and skipped to the woman.

The woman was crying miserably and Allen crouched down in front of her.

"I feel sorry for you, miss. If you never found that clock, you wouldn't be here. But it's too late now." Allen said.

Allen stood back up. The white-haired girl walked back to Road. The older Noah hugged Allen.

"You need to be careful, Allen~! You could get hurt~!" Road scolded.

"I know Road. I just wanted to talk to them a bit." Allen said with a smile.

Road fixed the coat she was wearing. Lavi's eye widened as he spotted his companion. Road laughed, knowing exactly what he was looking at. Lavi glared at Road.

"I think you should be more concerned with yourself." Road said.

"Lavi... Lenalee..." The woman sobbed.

"Miranda! Damn it!" Lavi said.

"Watch your mouth around Allen~. She's impressionable~." Road said threateningly.

Allen fiddled with the little hammer Road told her to hold on to, mumbling, 'I'm not that impressionable...'.

"You talk about me being rude for not telling you my name and yet, you didn't even answer my question." Lavi said.

Road gave a low whistle. "You're pretty long-winded. So I'll answer you~. We're friends with the Akuma~."

Lavi didn't look convinced in the slightest.

"Humans can be friends with Akuma, right? It's not that hard~." Road giggled.

"Akuma kill humans. Not befriends them." Lavi said.

"Humans kill humans too. Yet some can be friends. Akuma aren't much different." Allen and Road spoke in unison.

"Jynx. You owe me candy." Allen spoke before Road could.

"You aren't human." Lavi stated.

Road sighed and her skin went ashen gray and the seven stigmata appeared on her forehead.

"That's right~. we're the true apostles of God~." Road said and gave Lavi a horrifying smile.

Allen shivered.

"Allen too?" Lavi asked, almost afraid of the answer.

"Hmm. Nope~. She's just Allen~." Road said.

Allen was as quiet as a mouse at that point. She knew how Road got some times and dared not to get in the way.

"You're still human."

"Wrong~! We're Superhumans~. Humans are a subspecies~." Road said.

"That's one way of putting it." Allen said.

Lero would have said something if Allen hadn't had such a grip on him. Lavi looked between the two. In a blur of red and black, Lavi attacked the two girls. Allen used Lero to escape while Road jumped out of the way. Allen had dropped the little hammer and Lavi quickly grabbed it. The three attacked Lavi at the same time, not giving Lavi the chance to activate his Innocence. Road took off the jacket and grinned. The red head was barely able to stand.

"Can't handle a couple of little Akuma~?" Road asked.

Allen watched with interest. Road looked at Miranda.

"I forgot about you~. Can't let you feel left out~." Road had a sadistic smile on.

The pointed candles flew at Miranda. A giant hammer kept Road's candles from their goal. Lavi was kneeling next to Miranda and pulled the nails away. The woman scrambled away. Lavi used his weapon to keep himself upright. Miranda was muttering too quietly for Allen to hear. Miranda got up the courage and crawled back to Lavi. Moments later, the woman's Innocence activated. A dome of clocks surrounded the pair. The three Akuma somewhat surround it.

"Do you think we could touch this?" One asked.

As if on cue, What looked to Allen like a handle to the hammer came from the dome and raced towards Lenalee. Lavi grabbed Lenalee before retreating to the dome. Allen sighed before settling down. The Akuma decided to attack the dome of clocks only for a mini tornado to burst out. Both Road and Allen were shocked speechless. Allen could see what was happening but noticed one of the three souls float away. The mini tornado dissipated to reveal the two exorcists. Allen was tempted to start clapping but thought better of it and stayed quiet. Allen reached back and undid the braid Road did. Only two of the Akuma remained.

"Allen~? May I join you and enjoy the show from there~?"

"Oh. Sure!" Allen nodded.

Road stood next to Allen on the Umbrella. The older Noah gave a smirk.

"Road, what are you planing?" Allen asked cautiously.

"Do you know what happens to Akuma that are destroyed by means other then Innocence?"

"What?" The two Exorcist asked in unison.

"Do you?"

They both shook their heads.

"Road, Please don't do what I think you're going to do."

Said girl looked at Allen.

"What's wrong with your eye Allen?" Road asked.

"It reacts to Akuma." Allen said. "It's because of the curse Mana gave me."

Road hugged Allen.

"I'm sorry for what i'm about to do Allen. You," Road pionted to the large Akuma. "Self-destruct."

Road poked Lero and told him to start at ten second count down. Road covered Allen's ears and Allen covered her face. Road explained what would happen if that were to happen. Both Exorcists looked mortified but only Lavi made a move to destroy the Akuma before the count down ended. Lenalee grabbed Lavi's wrist to stop him. When the countdown reached Zero the Akuma exploded. Allen didn't dare to look. Road removed her hands and hugged Allen.

"Thank you Road."

Road smiled, knowing that the white-haired girl was thanking her for covering her ears.

"You're welcome Allen~."

Allen payed no little to no attention to the fight, finally uncovering her face. The two exorcists finally finished off the last Akuma.

"That's our cue to leave Allen~. You'll be getting your candy too~."

Allen cheered up significantly at the thought. A heart-shaped door rose from the floor and opened.

"Better be a big bag." Allen said. "Oh. We'll be seeing each other again, mister Lavi, miss Lenalee. Bye-bye~!"

Allen skipped through the door.

"But next time, Melleniee will set the stage~." Road said eerily before following the white-haired girl.

InsanityOwl: OMG THANK YOU! I have a really hard time writing a sad Allen so it's pretty unlikely it'll end sadly. But there'll be sad moments.

Guest: Glad to hear that. I hope you'll keep reading.

Alright! Review and Allen-pon will give out free hugs.
