Chapter 6 (Allen´s and Kanda´s Mission Part 2!)

Kanda, Allen and Toma were running towards the abandon City. When the City came nearer they stopped at a cliff and looked down. They saw the doll from there. A few Finders that were still alive tried their best to keep the Akuma´s imprisoned in a barrier.

Allen´s left eye had changed when they got near the town. It was completely black with two red rings in it. Toma had asked what was wrong with it. Allen explained to him that he could see the souls of the Akuma, so he could detect them with his left eye. Toma looked at him in horror. Kanda looked a bit interested.

Allen turned to Kanda. „There are four Level 1 Akuma down there and a few meters away is an Level 2." Informed Allen with a serious face. Kanda looked at him. He had a scowl on his face. „Tch, we will just take the Innocence and get back to headquaters." Ordered Kanda. He grabbed Mugen and pulled it out of it´s shelf.

Allen looked at him in disbelief. „And what about the Finders?!" he demanded angry. Kanda looked at him and snorted. „That´s their job. We aren´t supposed to care about them, Beanstalk." Replied Kanda. His face was blank. Toma looked down. Kanda turned around and jumped down.

„What the-?! Such a Jerk!" growled Allen. He looked like he wanted to beat Kanda up. „I don´t like his way of thinking." Allen thought with anger. Suddenly he heard screaming. It was coming from the direction oft he Level 2. Allen jumped after the noise.

Kanda´s Perspective

I jumped down and ran towards the doll. Tch, naive Beanstalk. I didn´t hear him behind me. „So he went after the Level 2." I thought. He will die. I mean look at him. He´s weak. People with our Job don´t have time to worry about others. Such emotions make us weak.

I jumped up and cut the Akuma. I saw that all Finder there were dead. I walked over to where the doll was sitting. It had a girl with him. She had long curly blonde hair. She looked up in fright and hugged the doll tighter. I scoffed.

I grabbed her and the doll. I jumped up. „Stop struggling." I growled. The doll was stiff, just the girl was struggling. I sighed in annoyance. I hated my job with a passion.

Allen´s Perspective.

I saw how a Level 2 Akuma was hitting a dead Finder. The Akuma looked like a big clown with horrible makeup. It had a dark grin on it´s face and was laughing. I activated my Arm and threw the Akuma against the wall. It stopped laughing.

„Argghhh! Who dared to?!" it yelled in anger. I stood up straight. I was staring at it. It saw me. It stood up and began giggling.

„Hehehe! So an Exorcist? This will be so much fun! I will kill you slowly!" it snickered darkly. It made a move to attack me. I saw it coming and avoided it. I jumped back. The Akuma looked like it was getting frustrated. I smiled at it.

„What? Are you tried already?" I teased with dark humor. Looks like Neah rubbed of on me. Or my Noah side. The Akuma only looked angrier. It tried to attack again. „SHUT UP!" it roared. I couldn´t stop my amused snicker. All Noah were amused by more dark things. I wasn´t paying attention and it got a hit in.

CRASH! I flew through a wall. I winced in pain. I stood up and heard it laughing.

„Hahaha! Not so mighty now Exorcist!" it made fun of me. It had a smug grin on it´s face. I was getting pissed off. It was mocking me!

I jumped at it and tried to slash it, but it blocked me with my own Innocence Claw! I stared in shock. My eyes wide open. It laughed again and stabbed me in my stomach. I coughed up blood. It still had it´s claw in my stomach.

It whispered in my ear. „Surprised? That´s my Special Ability! I can copy everything! How does it feel to be beaten by your own weapon?" it asked with sadistic pleasure. I shoved it of and jumped back. I held my wound.

T-The Akuma looked like me! It had my face! It struck it´s tongue out. „I am so much more powerful than the Level ones! Now I will kill you, hehehe!" it chuckled darkly. I was to stunned to move. It attacked again.

I was too late and it cut me in my shoulder and I flew back. I crushed through a few old and broken houses.

„Neah is going to kill me….Master will laugh at me…" I thought dryly during my flight. My wounds were stinging. I was losing blood too.

I was a Noah true, but I still had Innocence. That meant I had better healing than most but because they were total oppesite to each other, I couldn´t heal so fast like a normal Noah . ?docid=49195093

Well I could tell the Akuma to go away or to destroy itself, but that would reveal me. So that option was out of the window. And I don´t want to destroy it´s poor human soul.

I came to a stop. There were stones all over me. I suppose I could have stopped the Akuma with my left hand but it would have been Injured again and then I would have to go to Komui! I think a flesh wound that will heal is better than a mental scare from that psycho!

I moved the stones of me. I wiped the blood of the corner of my mouth. I leaned against a wall or what was left of it. I heard a breaking noise.

I looked around in wonder. „Where´s it coming from?" I muttered in confusion. I felt the ground under me break. I fell down.

„Ahhh!" I screamed. I landed on the ground. I cussed. „Why is it always me?" I whined. I rubbed my face. I sat up and looked around. There was a large cave underneath the City! „Any more surprises?" I thought with sarcasm. I mean really? An Akuma that can copy things, a cave underneath a City, what´s next the Earl in a bunny outfit? Or Master is returning to the Order? I snickered at the thought.

Kanda´s Perspective.

I jumped over the roofs of the broken houses. I heard the Beanstalk fight the Level 2. „I think it would be best if we would go underground." Whispered the girl. I looked at her. „Underground?" I inquired as nice as I could. Wouldn´t do good if I scared the kid. She finally stopped struggling a while ago.

She looked at me. „Under the City there´s an underground district. It was made to protect the workers from the heat. That Thing can fly right? It would be our best chance." She answered with a hopeful look. „The only risk is that if you get lost there you will probably never see the sun again." She added unsure. I asked her to tell me directions to an opening.

When we were at an opening, I sat the two down. My Golem started ringing. I answered.

„What happened?" I demanded quickly. I knew that it was the Finder from before. Not that I remembered his name. It was unnecessary information. He explained the situation quickly. I growled. Of course the Beanstalk wouldn´t finish his fight! So useless!

„I will send my Golem, he can´t have Timcampy we need his abilities." I barked. I was in a bad mode. I hung up and turned back to the girl and the doll.

„We will go underground now, you know the way right?" I asked with a glare. The doll spoke up. „Of course I do. I lived here for 500 years, I know every way." It responded in a rough voice. The girl looked worried. „Guzol…" whispered the girl. The doll looked up. It had a deformed face. It covered his face up with a hat.

„So you can talk? That´s amazing for a doll." I remarked. That was unusual. Normally a thing that came in contact with Innocence couldn´t talk. Only a person. The doll looked up again.

„You want to take my heart right?" it asked in a quiet voice. That was the mission. I stared down. „I want it now." I said in a blank voice. The girl flinched and hugged the doll. I knelt down.

„It would be a waste of time to carry a big doll." I explained coldly. The girl looked panicked. She stood up and shielded the doll with her body. „H-He´s the only one who know´s how we can get out of the Underground!" she stuttered. She was shaking. I starred at her.

„And who exactly are you?" I deadpanned. This mission was getting annoying. My patience was wearing thin. She looked me in the eyes. „I am Guzol´s-." she began. The doll cut her off. „She´s a kid I adopted!" responded the doll hastily. It began coughing. I was quiet. „Strange…a coughing doll?" I was getting suspicious.

„Sir Kanda!" yelled a voice. I turned around. I saw the Finder. I turned back to the doll. „You can keep it for now, but I will get your heart later." I assured. I knew I was quiet cruel, but it was war. Sacrifices must be made.

The Finder walked up to me. He held broken pieces of something in his hand in front of me. They flew up in the air and Timcampy formed again.

„Show me Info about the Akuma." I demanded. Timcampy showed me a hologram picture of it. My eyes widen when Timcampy showed me the picture of the Sprout.

„It´s like a mirror. When he looks like the Sprout, everything is backwards." I muttered to myself. It was true, even the scar was on the wrong side.

„That must be his special ability, he can copy everything and use it like his own." I said. I glared. „That damned Beanstalk! I will kill him next time I see him for letting his Arm getting copied!" I thought pissed off. I knew he was a good for nothing.

„We should search for Sir Walker." Said the Finder. I turned to him. „I mean we can´t know if it´s the Akuma or not." He continued. I shot him a death glare. Did he not listen while I was explaining?! „The Akuma would be a bigger retard than the Sprout if he showed up like that. He would be the oppesite of him. We could see it at first glance because of his scar." I grumbled. Was I only surrounded by Idiots?!

I turned around to tell the doll and the girl that the break was up and that we should get going, but I saw nothing.

„What the-?! They are gone! They run away!" I yelled furious. After all that, the nerve of that two. I was seething. My glare could have set a forest on fire.

„Sir Kanda! The Akuma!" the Finder warned. I quickly turned around and pulled out Mugen. I saw the copy of the Beanstalk standing there.

Allen´s Perspective

I was crawling down a cramped tunnel. I never thought that my short height would be an advantage for me. „Bakanda wouldn´t get through." I thought smug. At least I knew where he and the Akuma were because of my Noah. I was crawling for a while now. „I think I am lost…" I thought depressed. Where was Timcampy when you need him?! This time it wasn´t my fault that I got lost! This place was a maze! I sighed in annoyance. It couldn´t get any worse now.

„What´s wrong, Nephew?" asked a cheerful voice. I sweat dropped. Apparently it could get worse. Forget I said anything. „Damn, I just had to jinx it." I thought annoyed to myself. „Nothing, Neah." I responded quickly. I hoped he didn´t notice anything. He chocked. „Nothing?! NOTHING?! I can see that you are wounded! I leave you alone for a few minutes and this happens!" Neah complained near hysteric. And there went my chance at getting out of one of his lectures.

Kanda´s Perspective

„K-Kanda." The Bean stuttered. I narrowed my eyes. I smirked arrogantly. „You are pathetic really. Did you really think I would fall for a trick like that?" I mocked it. Really it was stupid. I attacked.

„First Illusion: Hell Insects! Now die!" I yelled. Demon Insects were flying towards the fake Beanstalk, but before they could harm it, something blocked my attack.

I stared in shock. The Fucking Sprout was protecting the Akuma. He was coming out of a hole in the wall. I glared at him. „Why the fuck are you protecting the Akuma?!" I growled furious. That was the last straw. Fuck Komui, he was killing the Bean. Less trouble for the world.

He turned to me. He was kneeling down next to the Akuma that lay on the ground. „He isn´t an Akuma-You Idiot! Get away from him! He´s the Akuma!" screamed the Sprout. He pointed at the Finder. Before I could react I was slammed against a wall. The Akuma held me by my neck. I glared down at it.

„W-When?" I stated in confusion. It grinned up at me. It tightened it´s grip. „When you hung up!" it giggled. It was fucking mocking me! I growled. „I just made him wear the white haired ones image! You didn´t notice right? Who´s stupid now?" it giggled mockingly. „You bastard." I hissed. It slashed me across my shoulder. I coughed up blood. „Just die~!" it sung. I scoffed. „I-I can´t die till I find t-that Person." I stuttered. I could feel my uniform get soaked in my blood.

I couldn´t die till I saw her again. I didn´t know who she was but she was important to me. My only reason to not give up on living. I wanted to see her again one last time, that was my wish. No, I needed to. I saw her for a short moment. I couldn´t tell how exactly she looked like, but that didn´t matter to me.

There was a time where I saw the outline of a young man with her, but that was long ago. That man pissed me off, like never before. Strangely I found his presence pleasant. Like an old good friend. I rarely saw him in my hallucinations. Tch, wouldn´t matter, that guy is probably dead.

It tried to attack me, but it was shot away. „ARGGG!" it screamed in pain. I starred up. The Beanstalk was standing in front of me and he looked furious.

Allen´s Perspective

I saw Kanda get slammed into the wall. I could feel my anger grow when I saw that. „That Akuma is so dead." I hissed. I may not have liked Kanda, but he was somebody important to me, even when I didn´t know why. I got Toma out of his disguise. I heard Kanda mutter something. „…can´t die till I find that P-Person." I instantly thought of the boy and the woman from my Vision. My eyes widened in alarm when I saw that Kanda was injured. I could feel my Noah purr and my Innocence hum. They reacted to my anger. Like they were agreeing with me.

I reacted before I could think. I shot that pest away from him. It flew a few meters. „ARGGG!" it cried out in pain, wich was like music to my ears. I stood in front of Kanda to shield him. „You need to calm down, it wouldn´t do any good if your secret gets out." Soothed Neah calmly. I gritted my teeth and took a few deep breaths. I turned to Kanda.

I shook him a bit. He looked dazed. „Kanda? Kanda!" I tried to call him. He didn´t respond but I could hear him breathing. „Haa…hahh." panted Kanda. His hair was open from the throw. He was getting pale and had blood on the corner of his mouth.

„Hey, you said you have to find her right?! That means you can´t give up yet!" I tried to get him to react. I knew he meant the woman, the boy from my Vision was dead or at least I was pretty sure. It seems my trick worked. His head snapped up in surprise. I sighed in relief. I didn´t know, but I felt that I could breath easier when I saw him react. That deep panic in my stomach was slowly disappearing.

Kanda´s Perspective

I felt how the Sprout was shaking me. I had to wait for my wounds to heal before I could beat him up for touching me. Stupid Idiot worried too much. I couldn´t focus on my gaze. I had a bit of a trouble breathing. It was because of the blood that was getting in my lunges. But I didn´t worry to much. I would heal. I always did. Even if it was for a price.

I heard him try to call me. Then the next thing he said got my attention.

„…you have to find her right?! That means you can´t gi-…" I couldn´t hear all of what he said but my head snapped up. „How in the world does he know it´s a she?!" I thought in suspicion and surprise. Nobody knew. How the fuck does he know? I didn´t mention it! When I looked at him my breath got caught in my throat.

There was that outline of that man again! He was behind the Sprout! I could only see that he was maybe a head taller than the sprout. That thought made me smirk a bit. I could recognize big round glasses. The young man had longer hair too. I tried to get a better look at him, but my Vision got blurried and I could feel how my body gave out.

„J-Just a bit longer…" I thought in annoyance when my vision went black.

Allen´s Perspective

I saw Kanda look at me weirdly. „I think he´s looking behind you." Corrected Neah serious. He wouldn´t leave me alone for this mission. I couldn´t blame him. This was pretty fucked up. I starred at Kanda in concern. „And why would he look behind me?" I inquired in confusion. I could feel how Neah shrugghed with his shoulders. „Don´t ask me, I have no idea." What a great help Neah was.

I saw how Kanda fainted. I started to panic again. „God, calm down! I swear you get worse every time! You mother-hen!" sighed Neah. I could see how he rubbed his temple. I felt offended, but I ignored his comment for now.

I gently threw Kanda over my shoulder and picked up Toma on my other. „Can we leave him he-." I heard how Neah began. I cut him of. „No." I refused coldly. He pouted. I used the advantage of the buried Akuma and got away.

Third Perspective

Allen was walking down a hallway in the Underground district. „L-Leave me here Sir Walker…" stuttered Toma weakly. Allen looked surprised, but happy. „You are awake?" Allen asked in relief. He felt how Toma nodded weakly. Then he remembered what he said. „I am not going ot leave you here." Allen said stubborn. Toma tried to protest but Allen wouldn´t let him.

Allen winced a bit when he shifted Kanda on his shoulder. His wounds weren´t healed probably. Toma stiffened. „Sir Walker..I am just a burden.." he tried to protest again. Allen shook his head. „Nope~! Not a chance! I can handle it. Trust me, what Master made me do was much harder." Allen answered cheerfully with a smile, at the end he shuddered.

„G-General Cross M-Marian?" asked Toma curiously. Allen nodded. Toma shivered. „..I…fell..bad for ….you." Was that pity that Allen heard in Toma´s voice? Allen sighed. He opened his mouth but was interrupted.

They could hear singing. It was a beautiful soft feminine voice. It sounded sad. The language was latin, when Allen heard correctly. He started to walk towards the singing.

Allen came into a room where an old man was leaning against a pillar. Next to him was a young girl with blond curly hair that reached her feet. She had one pretty blue eye. The other was bandaged up. She was the one who sung. The room was pretty broken down. There were laying stones and rocks on the ground. The ground was sand.

Allen´s Perspective

„Are you sad, Lala?" asked an old man. His face was deformed and he was leaning against a giant broken rock. His voice was rough. He looked at the Girl. Lala, if I heard correctly, finished her song and starred at the man. She was smiling. „Strange question. No as long as I am with you I am happy! What should I sing next?" she asked cheerfully. She looked truly happy. I guess she was the doll. I mean in the Mission report was stated that the doll sung.

The man smiled gently back at her. „You know I am really ugly, I am so glad that I met you…Lala, I want to end you, when I die." Confessed the man. Lala looked at him with a grin. „Of course! I am your doll after all, Guzol!" she assured warmly. She was glowing. „Okay, so that confirmed my theory." I thought proudly. I was getting a bit nearer.

Their heads snapped to me. „Damn!" I thought in panic. I had the worst luck ever. I stared at them wide eyed. „Sorry! I didn´t want to earsdrop but…" I began nervous. I looked at Lala, she stood up. I sighed.

„You are the doll right?" I wanted to make sure. She glared at me. She picked up a large rock that must have weighted much. She held it above her head.

I gulped. „I am dead." I thought stunned. „Stop daydreaming and move!" screeched Neah in panic. I managed to dogde the rock she threw at me just in time. I mentally made a note to thank Neah later. I tried to reason with her.

„Stop it! I will not harm you! Wait!" I yelled at her. She ignored me and threw another rock at me. It was twice as large as the first one. I sat Kanda and Toma down where I knew they wouldn´t get hit. I caught the rock she threw at me and threw it at her. Neah was getting excited. Figured. He was still a Noah, of course he would be enjoying fighting Innocence.

Lala crossed her arms above her head to shield herself. She heard something explode. She slowly opened her eye. She looked confused. I smiled at her.

„Now you can´t throw things anymore!" I cheered. She looked around. It was true. All rocks were destroyed. Her knees gave out. I looked down on her. My eyes softened. „What´s wrong?" I asked her warmly. She looked like she would cry. She looked up hopeful.

She held her hand over her chest. „Please! Guzol hasn´t much time left! I will give you my heart, just let me be with him till the end!" she pleaded heartbroken. She looked really desperate. I nodded with a bright smile and sat down next to her.

She looked surprised at me. She smiled tearfully. „Thank you." She was grateful. Guzol, the old man came to us and Lala sat in his lap.

Third Perspective

Lala began to tell her story. „I was walking through the City, when I heard a little boy crying. He was all alone without family or someone. I went to meet him. He was kneeling on the ground, scared." She sounded sad. Guzol hugged her.

„I went over to him and asked him if he liked to hear a song. He wasn´t the first human to get lost in this ghost city since 500 years ago. I just wanted to sing for them. It was what I was made for after all." She added softly.

„The Others before him always attacked me every time I got near them, but all I wanted was to sing to anyone, to someone." Her voice was starting to shake. She took a deep breath and continued. Allen was listening with full attention.

„They hit me, called me mean names. They even destroyed one of my eyes. I was so sure that the boy was the same….I would kill him if he didn´t accept." She hissed with anger. Guzol petted her head and she relaxed again.

„Then the boy did something I would never had thought he would do….He looked up and smiled. He asked : „You will sing for me? Please do! You are really nice and pretty! No one sung me a song before!" He was so happy and excited. We hadn´t separated since then." She was chuckling heartbroken. She had tears running down her cheeks.

She looked at Allen. „I am glad that you will let me spend the rest of his time with him till he dies. He hasn´t much left." She thanked Allen again. Allen opened his mouth again, but he was cut of by a shout.

„Like hell he will!" barked Kanda. He was leaning against his sword, so he wouldn´t fall over. He had a glare on his face. You could see he wasn´t pleased.

Allen tried to protest but Kanda growled at him. „We can´t wait! We have to take it now! We are not hear to grant wishes, we are here for the Innocence!" he reminded Allen with a daring look. Like he dared him to protest against that.

Allen swallowed. Kanda stumbled passed him. „We aren´t Saviors! We are Destroyers! Don´t forget that. We can´t grant wishes." He hissed at Allen. He drew his sword and held it against Lala´s neck.

Allen grabbed his Sword and moved in front of Lala and Guzol. He looked at Kanda with a smile. He forced the sword down.

„A Destroyer? Then I want to be A Distroyer that saves People! If I destroy the Akuma we can grant that wish right?" Allen asked confident. Kanda starred at him and snorted. „Naive Sprout, now move out of the way." He ordered. Allen stood his ground.

„I will not! Why should we make pointless sacrifices? That´s just inhuman! I will destroy that Akuma if it´s the last thing I do!" Allen yelled with anger. Kanda looked up sharply and punched him. Allen fell to the ground. Kanda was on his knees now. He was exhausted. Toma looked worried.

„IS THERE NOTHING IMPORTANT TO YOU?! WHY WOULD YOU SACRIFICE YOURSELF FOR SOME STRANGERS WITH A SOB STORY?!" Kanda roared furious. He couldn´t understand how someone could be so selfless. It was stupid. It disgusted him.

Allen laughed. „Hmm, no there are things that are important to me, but I learnt of a mistake in the past. I had somebody who meant the world to me….Had I the chance for a wish back then, I would have wanted more time with him or that I wasn´t so stupid." He explained in a pained voice. He was feeling regret again. He looked up at Kanda. Kanda looked surprised at the confession.

„I just want to grant their last wish, when I can help I want to help. And you understand what it would mean to have more time with a important person, right? Or to desire a last wish." Allen whispered softly. He had a wry smile on his face. Kanda flinched a bit.

„These eyes…I hate them...yet I think it isn´t the first time I look at them..." Kanda couldn´t help the swell of guilt that he felt. He hated the Beanstalk for bringing something like that up.

STAB!

Allen and Kanda turned around. Lala looked down shocked. She had a claw sticking through her chest. „G-Guzol." She whispered in horror. She was dragged back.

„DAMNIT!" Allen cussed in panic. He didn´t saw Lala. His attention was so absent that he didn´t feel the Akuma! He was so stupid! Now Lala and Guzol payed for his mistake!

„It´s the Level 2!" Kanda growled. The Sand on the ground began to move. The Akuma came out of the ground with the Innocence in his Claw. He threw Lala and Guzol to the side like trash. It giggled. „Hehehe! So this is Innocence~!" it said cheerfully. It looked it over. It glowed in a soft green light.

It stopped laughing when it felt a intensive bloodlust in the air. It turned around and froze. Allen stood there. He was glaring at the Akuma.

„Give it back." He demanded in a dangerous quiet voice. His voice promised pain. „Give the Innocence back!" he repeated. This time his voice was louder and it had an angry undertone. You could see how an dark Aura was building up with him. His Innocence was pulsing with his Noah. It was a wonderful feeling.

Allen lunged at the Akuma. It hid in the Sand. „Hehehe! Now you can´t see me!" it mocked. Allen smirked darkly, changed his Claw into a Canon and shot at a spot in the Sand.

„ARGGG!" The Akuma sprang out of the Sand. It cussed. Allen kept shooting at it.

„He hit it…" Kanda commented. He was observing the fight. That was impressive. He hadn´t know where the Akuma was. Maybe the Sprout wasn´t so useless.

The Akuma looked angrier. „You! Why is your weapon stronger than mine? We have the same weapon!" it roared. Kanda smirked.

„You are an Idiot! Of course his weapon is stronger, you can´t synchronize with Innocence! It´s completely different!" he yelled only to have to Akuma to jump back from Allen. He tried to avoid every shoot. Allen got him a few times.

The Akuma went back into the sand. He got up with a sand armor. It danced around. „Now, your shoots won´t affect me!" it snickered darkly. It moved to attack. Allen jumped out of the way.

He changed his weapon into a (laiser?) sword. Kanda and Toma looked on in fascination. Allen jumped and slashed the Sand of the Akuma. It looked enraged.

Allen tried to slash at it but coughed up blood. He stumbled back. „Damn, forgot it isn´t good at my Level to use my Noah like that." He thought in annoyance. „I told you no using your Noah till you are a Critical!" Neah scolded with a frown. „I know! It isn´t good for my Innocence, since they aren´t completely accepting each other yet." Allen blocked Neah after that. He didn´t even notice that he used a bit of his Noah. It must have happened when he was seeing red.

The Akuma giggled sadisticly and tried to cut Allen.

CLING!

Kanda was standing there blocking the claw of the Akuma with Mugen. He stood in front of Allen. He scowled and turned his head to him.

„Stand up! I hate people like you! But people I hate to most are these who can´t keep a promise!" he growled. He had trouble blocking the Akuma with one arm since his shoulder was still wounded. He looked alarmed at the amount of blood that Allen had coughed up.

Allen starred at him in surprise. Then he smiled cheekly. „I was just testing if you really are a cold hearted Bastard!" he teased. Kanda´s eye twitched. „You have guts, you nuisance!" he grumbled. He threw the Akuma of.

Allen stood up and changed his sword back to his canon. He and Kanda attacked at the same time.

„First Illsuion: Hell Insects!" Kanda attack with his Illusions, while Allen shot with his Canon.

„ARGGGGGGHHHHH!" The Akuma was destroyed. The Innocence fell to the ground. Allen rushed over and picked up the Innocence. He went over to Lala´s shell and placed the Innocence back in.

„Come on! It gotta work!" he pleaded. Lala´s head snapped up. She turned her head to Guzol and crawled over to him. „D-Do-you-want-me-to-sing-a-Song?" she asked in a rebotic voice. Allen felt his heart drop. That wasn´t Lala.

She reached for his hand and sat up. „What-would-y-you-like-to-h-hear?" she asked emotionless. Guzol smiled and cupped her cheek. A tear slide down his cheek. „A Lullaby please?" It was his last wish. Lala smiled softly and took his head in her lap and started singing.

Allen, Toma and Kanda went out. They could hear her singing.

After 20 Minutes.

Allen was sitting on a stair. He looked up at the dark sky. He was feeling down. He heard footsteps. He saw Kanda going down. Kanda sat down on a lower stair. His hair was in it´s usual ponytail.

„Komui called, I have a Mission after this. You take the Innocence back." Kanda informed him. Allen nodded mutley. He was blaming himself. If he had been paying attention he would have seen the Akuma coming. Then Lala would still be the same. If he wouldn´t have let his anger get the better of him, he could have destroyed the Akuma easily.

Kanda looked up at him and sighed. „You know that it´s not her anymore, so just stop her singing if it hurts." He muttered. Allen away from the sky to look at Kanda. „I can´t do that only Guzol can stop Lala." He declared, like it was obvious. Kanda sighed in annoyance.

„Kanda." Allen called him hesistant. Kanda turned his head in acknowledgment. „You aren´t so bad...and you know she taught me her song in the time you were unconscious." Allen admitted quietly. Kanda raised an eyebrow. „Don´t get all sentimental with me Beanstalk." He grumbled. Allen stammered.

„Y-You Jerk! I-I just wanted to be nice, Asshole! Arg! Forget I even said anything! You stupid Iceblock!" His cheeks were pink. Really he just wanted to be nice to the Prick and then he ruined it. Kanda smirked. „Don´t get lost on your way back, Sprout." He teased. Allen was getting red in the face from anger. Kanda stood up and walked away.

„This time I will ignore it and let it go Beanstalk." Kanda thought serious. He wouldn´t push Allen now on how he knew about her. Who knows maybe it was just luck? But that couldn´t be the Sprout wasn´t lucky. Just because of this fucked up Mission. Wouldn´t do any good if the Sprout went fucked up again.

„My name is ALLEN, Bakanda!" Allen yelled after him. Then he huffed. „Really, how many people are assholes in this place?" he sighed to himself. He heard how it was quiet. He sprang up and raced back inside. In the room he saw that Guzol was laying down. He seemed to be dead. Allen went over to Lala.

He tensed up, when she turned around. She had a smile on her face when she looked at him. „Thanks for granting my last wish. Remember your promise." She whispered happy. She fell. Allen caught her. The Innocence fell to the ground and she was moveless. Allen forced back tears.

„I will thank you too." Allen laid her down and stood up. He remembered a few hours ago.

FLASHBACK

Allen was sitting besides Lala and Guzol. Guzol was praising Lala for her beautifull voice and how it would be sad to have her song forgotten. She beamed up at him.

„Don´t worry! I am not to sad." She assured him. Guzol looked pretty down. Allen was considering what he could do. Neah did say that he had a good voice, but he wouldn´t want to taint Lala´s Lullaby. He took the courage and asked.

„Could you teach me?" he asked curiously. Lala and Guzol turned to him. They looked surprised. Lala´s eye was wide open in shock.

„You want to learn? You like singing?" she asked excited. She never sung a duet before! This would be her chance! She was leaning back and forth.

Allen nodded. „It would be a waste to let your beautiful Lullaby get forgotten. I don´t want to taint your Lullaby thought, so if you don´t want to-." Allen was ranting, but Lala cut him of quickly. „NO! I-I mean I really want to do a duet…" she stammered nervously. Allen smiled brightly and gave her a thumps up. He asked her to sing it one time so that Timcampy could record it and show the text.

Lala smiled brightly. She held up her hand. „Okay, one, two, three!" They began to sing.

„Lacrimosa dies ella ~
„Qua resurget ex favilla~
„Judicandus homo reus~
„Huic ergo parce, Deus~
„Pie Jesu, Domine~
„Judicandus homo reus~
„Huic ergo parce, Deus~
„Pie Jesu, Domine~" they softly stopped.

It was really beautiful. Their voices were breathtaking together. Lala was beaming in happiness. She laughed. Guzol clapped. „That was really fun! You have a really beautiful voice!" she praised with a grin. I smiled back. „I think it was fun too. I usually don´t sing that often.." he admitted while he rubbed the back of his neck. Lala looked shocked.

„Why not?! Singing is fun!" she absolutely couldn´t understand why someone like him, with a voice like that wouldn´t sing at every chance he would get. Allen chuckled embarrassed. He waved a hand. „It´s just I only have two people I could sing to. I don´t think others would like to hear me." He stated with pink cheeks. Lala pouted. She pointed at him.

„Promise me that you will sing for your percious people! Like when you want to comfort them or cheer them up!-or if they ask you to!" she demanded. She looked very serious. Allen looked taken aback. Then he considered it.

He nodded. „Okay, I will sing for my friends if they need it, I promise." He assured her with a fond smile. She looked happy.

END OF FLASHBACK

Allen stood up and went to get back to headquaters. He wouldn´t forget Lala or his promise. He didn´t knew that Toma heard them. That he wasn´t unconscious then.

At the train back ride.

Allen was leaning against the window. His head was leaned back and he had his arms crossed over his chest. He felt his eyes drop. He slowly fell asleep. Timcampy was resting on his head.

DREAM (Allen´s Perspective)

I was walking through a forest. I heard an explosion and was worried. I ran as fast as I could. When I saw blood on the grass, I only panicked more. I was examining the blood. It was still fresh, so somebody near me had to be wounded. How bad I didn´t know but I knew I must hurry. I tried to look around, I get lost quickly. I hid behind a tree when I felt a presence of something. I think it was an Akuma. I was somehow able to sense them. Don´t ask me how.

It was laughing about something and I heard someone cussing. I frowned. I didn´t like rude people, even when I sometimes cussed. It was a bad habit, wich I tried to get ride of. But old habits die hard.

I adjusted my glasses on my nose and peaked a bit. There was a young man in his middle twenties when I guessed correct. He had blonde short hair. He wore a black uniform with a cross on it. „Exorcist" I thought in interest. I never had anything against them. I felt a bit weird but not in a bad way. Just neutral I guess. He was bleeding on his side. He had a sword in his hand.

I think that was his Innocence. I found it fascinating. I wondered how it would feel to bound with an Innocence. I knew that Neah and his Family weren´t a Fan of it.

„You damn piece of shit! I will cut you up and feed you to your Masters!" the man spat. He looked really pissed off. He glared at the Akuma. It only made fun of him. He tried to attack a few times, but he was wounded and against a Level 3…it would be very difficult for him.

I considered my options. I could use a spell, I read about it and Cross said I wasn´t so bad at it. Then there was the option that I could show myself, they wouldn´t attack me in fear of Neah, Adam and Road. But they wouldn´t be happy if I helped an Exorcist. I felt nervous. I needed to do something!

Suddenly I remembered something strange. I had a feeling since a few weeks now. Every time, I sleep I get Flashbacks. I don´t know what up with that but,…I did something weird last week. When I was running, I suddenly was a lot faster, like everything go slower. Maybe I could do that again? I had an headache after that but it would be worth it. I just needed to make a barrier around the Akuma and then I could run and grab the Exorcist and get away.

I took a deep breath, counted to ten and did the spell.

„Impedimentum*." I whispered and I saw how a barrier formed around the Akuma. It was a hard spell, that made the Akuma unable to escape for a while and see. I used that moment to concentrate and run.

I felt how the time slowed down for a few moments. I grabbed the man by his wrist, he looked pretty dumb founded, and dragged him with me. I ran and ran and ran. When I was sure we were far enough away. I felt time slow down and the Barrier break. We were out of the forest and in my house. It was near the forest, but not right next to it. You had a 20 Minute walk to the forest.

I let go of the mans hand, when I pushed him inside my house and went to get me and him some painkillers, a wash cloth, a bowl of warm water and bandages. When I came back the man was only lightly panting and had his sword in my face. He glared at me.

„Who the fuck are you and what did you do?!" he growled. He looked like a cornered animal. I looked him in the eyes, the pushed his sword down and shoved him to the couch. He tried to protest, but he was to weak to do anything. He was losing to much blood.

„Charming aren´t we?" I asked with sarcasm. He snorted. He gave me suspicious looks. I sighed and set the things down. I took his hand and give him the painkillers. He looked sour. I rolled my eyes.

„Just take them! I want to help and I will whenever you want me to or not." I ordered with a serious gaze. He growled and took them. I tried to get his shirt of to look at the wound. He pushed me away. „What? Isn´t that a bit fast for a short kid like you?" he mocked. „Sorry I am not into that." He kept pushing my patience with that stupid smirk of his. I took the cloth soaked it in warm water and pressed on his wound. He yelped in pain. I smirked amused. That is what he gets for making fun of me.

Not even Cross or Neah got away with calling me a kid or short. That were insults were I drew the line.

He greeted his theeth and looked like he wanted to punch me. I ripped the teared clothes a bit more and cleaned the wound as gently as I could. He seemed to relax at that.

„I am 21 for your Information." I said dryly. He looked stunned. That pissed me of somehow. He looked at me in disblief. „21? You look like 17." He said with a amused smirk. I put more presure on the wound. He winced and scowled at me again. I smiled sweetly up at him.

„Sorry, didn´t want you to bleed to death." I answered as innocently as I could. He snorted. „Didn´t want you to bleed to death my ass." He cussed. I whacked him on his wound. He hissed. „What was that for?!" he spat. I gave him a disapproving look. „No cussing." I stated. He looked like he would commit murder any second now.

I finished getting his wound bandaged up. He examined his patched up wound. He nodded to himself. „Not bad…" he muttered. „Thanks." I deadpanned. Seriously not even a thank you?! Ungrateful!

I stood up and went to get everything I needed for a blood transfusion. He looked at me in confusion. He was pale. „What are you going to do now?" he asked with a sigh. I felt my eye twitch. That little-! Well, I noticed that this time he didn´t cuss. I held back a smirk.

„What blood type are you?" I inquired quickly. He looked at me in relastion. „AB." He answered with a frown. I nodded and began to make a blood transfusion. He starred at me for a moment.

„What? I don´t want you to die here, so shut up and take it." I replied annoyed. He was getting on my nerves. He smirked arrogantly. „Yes, Mom." He teased. „Jerk." I hissed. That Asshole knew how to push my bottons.

After the blood transfusion, I went to make us some food. I made a simple meal. I brought him a plate and sat down across from him. He had looked around in my absence and looked more comfortable on my couch now.

We began to eat.

„Do you have something other here than books or cards?" he asked with a raised eyebrow. I looked at him in surprise. „Wow! You started a conversation! I am so proud of you! Maybe you aren´t antisocial after all." I responded to annoy him. It seemed to have worked. He bristled.

„Fuck of Fourglasses." He growled in anger. I glared at him. „Watch it, Blondie." I insulted right back. We started a insult contest.

„Bookworm." He hissed with a smirk.

„Jerk." I spat back.

„Dwarf." He replied.

„Prick." I growled. It went on for a half an hour till we went silent again.

„Why did you help me today?" he asked with narrowed eyes. His face was blank. I answered without hesitation. „Because you needed it. Doesn´t matter who it is." He relaxed again. „Even if it was an Asshole so cold like a icecube." Added I in after thought. He seemed offended. „Tch, watch it shrimp." He simply said. Looks like he didn´t want to get into an agrument. He stood up got his coat and went to the door.

I watched him go. He opened the door. I thought he would just leave, but he stood in the door way. He turned around.

„Thanks, Shorty." He said. I smiled. „No problem and the Name´s Allen Walker, Jerk." I answered him. I had a feeling that this was the begining of a very unquie friendship. He smirked and turned around. He opened his mouth to say his name.

„K-

END OF DREAM

Allen sat up straight in his seat. His heart was racing again. „It couldn´t be…" he thought in disbelief. He shook his head a few times. No just because the Name of the Jerk began with K didn´t mean anything. Allen yawned. He stretched a bit and got comfortable again. It wouldn´t matter. He wouldn´t see that man/friend again.
