Only one thing: I want say thanks to feefee223 and X Inori x for their nice words! Thankyou very much!

And here we go, chapter two!

But...

"Allen, turn back!!"

He is

"Allen!!"

in front of me!

Allen stopped, in front of the man, two lines of tears went down his cheeks. He couldn't believe in what he was seeing...

"Mana...?"

2. The things that I can't say

"Mana...?"

But the man just didn't stop at Allen's words, he passed through him, and he went on, as a ghost... and maybe he was.

"Wait..." The teen quickly turned around, burning tears on his flushed cheeks, a feared and hopeful look into his pale eyes. He just stayed there, his hands shaking at his sides, thanks to what he was seeing. He couldn't believe... It was just not possible, for nature's laws, for... a dead couldn't turn back! A dead, under metres of cold earth, under a grave, dead into a coffin: maybe... maybe Allen was just dreaming. Yes, it's a dream, he decided. But his heart didn't give up his last hope. Because if it was truth...

He suddenly broke out into a ran, trying to follow the already gone man, but stopped by Lenalee and Lavi.

"Allen! Where are you going!?

"I want to follow him!! Let me go, let me go!!"

"Allen...!!"

"Shut up! He... he's... he's here! I don't care how, but he's here!"

"He's dead!! How can he be him!?"

"Lavi is right, Allen! He can't be your father!"

"Why!?"

"Because he's dead, Allen!"

"But..." Lenalee was right, Lavi was right, but... his heart just didn't want to not believe. His heart was screaming to follow him, that he was really Mana, he was his dad, came back somehow from death... but he was here. He was here, near him, and he could hug him, he could talk to him, he could... a lot of things! His confident mind was already imagining what they could do together "...I don't care... Let me go!" He wanted to...

"We're coming with you!"

"Yes, do what you want! But let me go, please...!!" The last word: Lenalee and Lavi couldn't do anything but let him go. He was so frantic while he was saying it, just like a child who wanted to go to his mom... The look, a deep hint of sadness, and mostly, desperation... desperation to believe that, desperation that it will be all a dream, all fake: Mana wasn't here. But Allen... a little, fill with relief smile onto his lips, gleams of tears flied behind him, dieing on the cold ground, his heart was knocking hard on his chest's wall, like it wanted to go out, Timcampy wasn't in sight, even if the thought of it didn't bother him... Allen was running fast only to see one more time his adoptive father's face, his beam. He didn't understand... yes, he knew that probably it was only a dream, because it was not possible, it was just incredible somewhat like that, but... even if it was a dream, even if it was a fake... maybe an Akuma who assumed his father's appearance... he could kill it, if it was really an Akuma, and like a dream, he could just took the pleasure of fakes embraces. And when he'll wake up, he will feel good, as a child after a cake. He didn't care... just... just... just, please, let me stay with him for a little while...

But he stopped, when nothing came into view. Where was he? Where am I!? Damn, I'm lost...Thought Allen, slightly annoyed. Two streets at his sides, and one in front of him, and they all went on without end. He looked down, maybe crazily thinking that he could find some footsteps... he only found a brilliant puddle illuminated by the moon. Allen stared at his reflex. He couldn't see his face, because the light was behind him, and even the moon was reflected into the little lake on the ground. The sky was still coloured by a strange tinge of scarlet red, and maybe it was the moon's blood...

"Allen!"

"We finally found you!!"

Turning back, he met with his friends' eyes "Hm?"

"Are you okay? Where's... the man?"

"I don't know" Allen said, feeling again frustrated "I don't know! I lost him... I think he's somewhere near, but I can't find him..." He bit his lip, trying to not cry the tears of hopeless that was piercing painfully his heart.

"Maybe h-"

"Shh! Listen!" Lenalee started to look around her "The child! I can hear him again!"

"You're right! But from where!?"

Allen could now hear the hysterically sobs and screams of the child. He\She was an infant, indeed.

"Look! The man is coming!"

The exorcist quickly turned left to see Mana coming from one of the endless streets. He was looking down, maybe searching somewhat... maybe he was searching the child "Mana..." Again, Allen found himself stopped without anything to do. Anything the he could do "Mana, wait... please, wait..."

The man just didn't hear Allen's words, and he passed one more time through him, like a spectre "Mana..." He heard his voice shake, and tears start to fall on his already wet cheeks. Why couldn't he see them?

"Allen! We found the child!"

"Allen... he's better if you come to take a look... This child is really strangely... familiar..."

"Hm?" Allen came to see what Lenalee and Lavi were talking about.

And he froze again, now confused "What!? This is... this is impossible!"

"And maybe I understand" Lavi said, a little, sad smile on his lips. The other two looked at him "Komui said that maybe in this city there's an Innocence, right?"

They nodded.

"Well... strange events occur when it's near, right? So... what if this Innocence is showing Allen's past!"

"What!?" Allen and Lenalee said in unison.

"Allen, you said Mana found you after your parents abandoned you, right?"

"Yes..."

"Well, I think this child is you, and Mana... well, I think he finds you"

A shadow was behind them.

Well? You liked it? Wait for chapter three!
