And here we go!

Toma the Finder hurried through the long dark halls of the Black Order on his way to the cafeteria. Komui had told him something him something horrifying; 'he had built another Komulin! Oh, and also there was someone thought to be able synchronize with the innocence that we found in China ', thought Toma as he entered the cafeteria. His eyes scanned the crowd for a group of young exorcists. He finally found them and told them the news, "Mr. Kanda and Mr. Walker, Komui told me that you two are going on a mission soon".

"Che", was Kanda's reply before he got up and walked away, presumably to Komui's messy office.

"Ok then", Allen said as he stood up and thanked Toma. Then he ran after Kanda. He turned a corner and slammed into someone's solid back. Allen felt himself falling backwards and closed his eyes as he prepared for a hard collision with the floor only to feel strong solid arms wrap around his waist, making him feel warm and fluttery inside. However, the arms retracted as suddenly as they came, making Allen's heart sink.

"Be careful next time Moyashi", He said to Allen in an almost caring voice. 'I thought Kanda was worried over me for a second", Allen sighed sadly, 'I would have liked him to keep his arms around for a little longer.'

'Wait, what was I thinking?!', Allen asked mentally to himself in horror, 'I'm straight, aren't I? Yeah, I don't like Kanda. He's mean, cruel, selfish, merciless, humorless and he's a jerk! There's no way I could have a crush on someone that terrible! Besides, we're both boys so that's that. I don't have a crush on Kanda, then again I'm arguing with myself…' Allen mused to himself, deaf to the outside world.

Literally

"…yashi, Moyashi!", Kanda yelled, finally snapping Allen out of his daze. "What?!", Allen finally answered angrily, then he realized something. "And don't call me Moyashi, BaKanda! My name is Allen!", said beansprout yelled. Then they stood arguing in the hallway for an hour until Toma was sent to find the two exorcists.

Soon enough, Toma found them bickering in the hallway about some random crap that nobody cared about, such as the fact that Kanda's hair, in Allen's opinion, is far too long to be considered manly. At this point Kanda, with his hurt pride, drew his sword halfway and in self defense, Allen was preparing himself to activate his innocence.

Note: (The second form, the one with the cape and mask. BTW, they are still in the old Black Order and they have the second outfit, the black and silver one but Allen is friends with Nea and his memories are safe. Lenalee has her Dark Boots but they are not crystal type. Neither is Mugen. General Yeegar is still alive. Please PM me if you have any more questions. Sorry for the note and confusion.)

Allen and Kanda were suddenly stopped by Lenalee, who had also just found them and intervened effectively while Toma was asking them to stop so quietly that he wasn't heard over their bantering, grabbing their arms, "Come on, you two, Ni-san already called you half an hour ago!", she told them, frustrated with their childish behavior.

So the group finally made it to Komui's office at last, where they found a ridiculously cluttered office with papers covering the floor and his desk. Which made on wonder, How does he actually get anything done in this mess?!

"Finally! You two are here at last!", Komui said with his usual cheerful face, which suddenly turned serious. "Kanda, Allen, you have a mission together", he said, resulting in an extremely unenthusiastic response from Allen.

"Oh…okay", he said, feeling very reluctant about going on a mission with Kanda alone together after what happened in the hall just a few minutes ago. He could imagine Kanda's muscular arms wrapped around him, giving him a safe, comforting sense and the non-existent (in Allen's mind) feeling that he was loved.

Komui ignored Allen's unwillingness about the mission and continued, "we found innocence in China and sent some finders to confirm its presence. It's in an enchanted lake and they've tried to dive in to get it but it turned solid as soon as they touch it. We also know it's possible for something to go through the water though, they threw pebbles in it and they went in after skipping a bit. My theory is that only exorcists can go into the water, just like the Rewinding Town. I'm sending you two to test the theory out.

Kanda raised an eyebrow, "this sounds suspiciously easy. We dive in the water, get the innocence with no Akuma tailing us? That's a first. This sounds too good and simple to be true".

"You're right, Kanda. It's too good to be true. A few finders reported seeing a young girl sitting on a tree branch really high above them, but when they look up again, she's gone", Komui informed them. "I suspect she may be Road, but the girl is too high up to really see. One finder reported her as having bright red hair, but we can't be sure. It may be Road in disguise, so be careful".

Allen thought hard about the information that was given to him. Something didn't seem right to him. Road showed up at the Rewinding Town, yes but this was a lake in the middle of some insignificant forest in China. The Rewinding Town was a populated place and easy to locate on the maps, but this lake, and this forest as a matter of fact, didn't show up on any map at all. Another thing, why were there no reports, sightings or evidence about Akuma.

'If this substance is really innocence, then Akuma should be trying to destroy it, and yet, there aren't any. Why would Road show up in some random forest at the edge of China without Akuma? Good question, because she wouldn't.' Allen told himself with certainty.

Second Chapter is much longer! Thanks again and I hope you enjoyed a much longer chapter. Over 1,000 words. A new record (for me anyways) Please Rate and Review. Also I would like some feedback about my stories. How long would you like my chapters to be (approximately how many words?), I am splitting this chapter into 2 because it turned out way too long. If you have any suggestions, questions or ideas then put them in the reviews because I will definitely read them. Until next chapter, see ya!
