OH MY GOD! GAH! I HATE MY INTERNET! On my computer, my internet has problems and doesn't even open up anymore so I had part of this chapter done already when I realized I have to type it all over again on my mom's laptop and I've had MAJOR writers block… so I'm really sorry for the late update… I hope you enjoy it though!
The moment that Allen sprung out of Lavi's arms, Kanda was right after him.
"ROAD! TYKI! DON'T LEAVE ME WITH THESE PEOPLE! SAVE ME!"
Kanda grabbed the white haired boy from the back and covered the boy's mouth. Allen struggled, twisted, and turned but to no avail. The samurai was already dragging him away from his one chance for freedom, pulling him from his family, his friends, his life.
Tyki had noticed Allen's screams and started to run after the boy but was too late… The samurai was already jumping out of the train window with the now unconscious white haired Noah and the red headed rabbit was right behind them.
"Tyki! We need to get Allen! Come on!" Road yelped as she attempted to pull the older man with her to get the new born Noah.
Tyki just stood there… if they went after the boy now, it would be a waste of time and energy. Their little Noah of Purity would probably be just fine at the Black Order for a little bit anyway… It's not like they would find out or anything… or at least not until it would be too late. Take the village, for example, that much damage with a tremendously high fever… imagine what he could do to the Black Order when he's well. They will probably think that the boy's unstable mental state was entirely their fault and would tend to him and make him as comfortable as possible. Yes, he would be fine at the Black Order until they would figure out a good plan to get their brother Noah back.
"Road, calm down… We'll get our Allen back soon; you'll see… we just have to be patient."
"But, why? Why should we just let those filthy exorcists take Allen?"
"Because…"
"Uh-" Road was about to retort and keep pressuring Tyki to tell her what he meant but was stopped by a warning glance from her brother figure.
In a Forest
"Baka Moyashi! You have to go and run off like that and reveal us to the Noahs of all people!" Kanda hissed at the unconscious Allen while pulling the boy behind him.
"Yu-Chan… you don't know what they told him… and if they somehow convinced him that we killed Mana… What else do you think they could've told him…? I mean, look at what he just did, run back to them instead of going back to the Order... So you shouldn't be so rough with the boy… or it might just make his poor mental state even worse…"
"I'll be as rough as I want and I'll be even rougher if you keep calling me 'Yu-Chan'!"
"Ok, Kanda… I won't call you Yu-Chan if you at least try to be gentle with the boy…"
"Che."
The three continued walking and being dragged for about a half an hour, until they spotted a large lake with little boats. Once all three of them were on the small wooden boats, Kanda and Lavi rowed for the next hour with the unconscious Allen there the whole time.
"Oh thank god we're here… any longer and I think Allen might've woken up and if that happened, I don't know what we'd do…"
"Che. Knock him out."
"Well we were in a boat!"
They jumped out of the boat and Lavi had the cursed boy in hand.
"Oh, crap… Allen doesn't know that Komui's dead… That will certainly not help him… Well let's focus on getting the little guy inside and I guess we can deal with that later…"
In the Black Order
Everyone was busy working when a loud screaming was heard throughout the Order: "INTRUDER! AKUMA ALERT! INTRUDER!"
All of the finders, available exorcists, and able bodied science department members gathered at the front gates and prepared for battle, but then suddenly a very familiar voice came through said gates.
"Let us in, you bakas! We found Moyashi!" Kanda bellowed.
"And he's not an akuma! He's just cursed, remember?" Lavi yelled.
"Gate Keeper! Open the gates now!" Reever commanded.
"B-but t-the a-akuma!"
"It's not an akuma! Remember the boy, Allen Walker, the boy that you thought was an akuma when he first came to the Order? Well this is him now! So just let them in!"
The gates suddenly began to open and then the two entered carrying the white haired boy. In about two seconds everyone gathered around him.
"NO! DON'T GET TOO CLOSE! HE NEEDS SPACE! And he's not in the best mental condition either… The Noahs messed with his brain, the poor kid…"
"He was held by the Noahs!"
"Is he ok?"
"Why is he passed out?"
"It looks like he has a fever…"
"We should take him to the infirmary…"
"Yeah…"
"Ok! Lavi, you take him to the infirmary! And Kanda, you get him something to eat when he wakes up!"
"Why do I have to get that Baka Moyashi food?!"
"Because I said so."
"Che."
"Just go!"
Everyone then went their separate ways to take care of Allen, the much missed "spirit" of the Black Order. He used to bring joy to all of the members and when they thought he was dead, it seemed as if everyone went into a depressive state. The Order had seemed lifeless, dead, ghost like. But now everything was going to go back to normal, Allen with his warming smile would be there to tell them everything was alright and that we were going to win this battle and save the world. Or at least that's what Reever thought until he saw what Lavi truly meant by "poor mental state"… It had been 2 days since Allen had come back to the Black Order and Reever finally had time to visit the boy to see how he was doing. When he arrived in the infirmary, he couldn't believe what he saw, Lavi was just trying to give Allen some food and he was screaming his head off.
"NO!!! GET AWAY FROM ME! YOU KILLED MANA! GET AWAY! GET AWAY!"
"Allen… I did not kill your father… Nor am I going to kill you… Will you just eat the food? I don't want you to starve…" Lavi sighed as saying this as if he had said this multiple times.
"NO! YOU KILLED MANA! IT'S POISONED! I WANT ROAD AND TYKI! WHERE ARE YOU KEEPING THEM!? WHERE!? ROAD! TYKI! HELP!"
"Allen, I didn't kill Mana, it's not poisoned, and Road and Tyki aren't here… Please just eat the food…"
"Why? Why aren't they here? WHAT DID YOU DO TO THEM!?"
"I never did anything to them… and they never were here…"
"Road, Tyki, where are you?" Allen whispered as he covered his head with the covers and started to cry.
"Um… maybe I came at a bad time?"
"Oh… no Reever, it's fine, maybe you could talk some sense into him… and you had to inspect his innocence anyway right?"
"Yeah… I'll try…" Reever approached the boy who was crying underneath the covers. "Allen, I'm not going to hurt you… do you remember me?"
Allen just shook his head under the covers, he had no idea who was talking to him, but for some reason he felt like this person was kind and trustworthy… So he decided to peak out from under the pile of blankets.
"Ah, there's that little face I remember, I've waited a long time to see that face again… So, Allen, do you think I could take a look at your arm?"
The boy shook his head furiously and pulled his deformed arm close to him. He didn't want anyone, no matter how nice, to touch his arm. It hurt so bad to have anyone touch it… he couldn't stand it and he defiantly didn't want that exorcist in the room or anywhere near him.
"Oh, come on, I won't hurt you… and if anything makes you feel uncomfortable, just tell me and I'll stop, ok?" Allen still shook his head and then pointed towards Lavi. "Oh! Do you want him out of the room? If he leaves will you let me take a look at your arm?" Allen nodded.
The man looked at Lavi and then the red head left the infirmary.
"Ok, he's gone… do you think I could see your arm now?" Allen nodded and reluctantly stretched out his deformed arm for the nice man to inspect. Reever first just looked at the arm, it seemed as if nothing was wrong, so Reever decided that it would be safe for him to feel the innocence arm and inspect it more thoroughly. He gently rubbed his hand on the arm but the moment his warm fingers pressed against the crimson skin, Allen screamed as he started to convulse. The boy's innocence arm went into that same half invocated state it has gone into a few times before and it started to flail left and right swatting the air. Then, the little boy just stopped moving and lay on the bed very still with his eyes shut.
"A-Allen? Are you o-ok?" Reever asked very tentatively after being almost slashed by the white haired boy's arm.
Allen just lied there with his arm still half invocated, but was now unmoving.
"Allen? Are you ok?" he asked once again, this time becoming filled with worry and moving closer to the boy.
And then, it came, that blood curdling sound that chills you right to the bone. That chuckle, no, that insane laugh that should never ever come from one such as Allen, but now, right now, at this moment, that exact insane evil laugh was coming from the boy.
"Heh! Am I ok? Well, I'm just fine, some might say dandy even!" the snapped boy opened his eyes to reveal gold eyes instead of his normal silverish blue ones and then started to approach the Science Department Supervisor. "If you should be worried about anyone, it should be yourself!"
"Allen? What the hell did they do to you?" Reever said while backing away but still mesmerized by those golden orbs.
"What did they do to me, you say? They did nothing, but make me better, made me realize my true purpose in life, realize my full potential! But like I said, if you should be caring about anyone right now, you should be thinking about saving your own life! HAHAHAHA!" Allen smirked, he was about to kill the Supervisor of the Science Department and he was happy as Hell! This was a golden opportunity and he wasn't about to pass it up! But he also wasn't going to kill him without having a bit of fun first. He looks around the room and is able to find… not much… but that's not a problem for Allen, he just uses his razor sharp claw like fingers and slices a post off of the metal infirmary bed.
Reever was now being backed into a corner by the insane golden eyed boy carrying a metal bed post in his non-claw like hand.
"W-what are you going to do with t-that?!"
"This? Oh, well, I'm just going to have a little fun!" the golden eyed Allen said with an innocent look on his face.
He took that post and started to whack the older man with it with amazing force. Reever was so terrified that he couldn't even scream, but eventually his vocal cords allowed him to get out the single word he needed to have ten people rushing to save him.
"HELP!!!!!!" he yelled at the top of his lungs.
"Just shut the hell up! Do you want to ruin my fun!? I'm just playing! There's no need to spoil the fun!"
Allen was already splashed with Reever's blood and Reever was covered in blood, cuts, and bruises. He also had a few broken bones when Kanda came rushing into the room with Mugen unsheathed.
"Moyashi!?"
Allen turned to face the samurai with those big golden eyes of his and a bloody smirk on his face.
"You! You father killer! How dare you interrupt my game! I was finally having fun in this place you brought me to and you go and ruin it! And here I was finally thinking I might like this 'Black Order' and then the person who bought me here destroys my hopes of having a good time! Great! Just great!" Allen then left Reever alone a switched to Kanda.
The boy approached him with the bed post, but then decided to throw the bed post and attack with his claws instead. He lunged at the older boy but he easily dodged the attack and once again used Mugen's hilt to knock the boy out.
By now, everyone had heard the ruckus and was either already in the infirmary or on their way down. They were all gathering round Reever and Allen.
"W-what happened to Reever!?" Johnny asked.
"Moyashi happened…"
"WHAT!? ALLEN DID THIS!?" everyone screamed in unison.
"Yes." Kanda said in as little words as possible, like always.
"Reever, are you ok?" inquired 65.
"Y-yeah…"
"Did Allen really do this to you???" asked Crowley, the vampire like exorcist.
"Y-yes… I don't really know why… I was just inspecting his innocence when I touched his arm and he looked like he was having a seizure and his arm half invocated itself and started to go crazy, but then he just passed out… So I asked if he was ok, and he didn't respond, so I asked again and that when it looked like he snapped… He started laugh really high pitched and then he opened his eyes and they were no longer his normal silverish blue, they were… gold… Then he started to say things that made no sense and then he started to attack me… He would talk about having fun and then Kanda came in and saved me…" Reever then tried to get up but was stopped by Kanda.
"You baka… don't move."
"O-ok…"
"What can we do about Allen? I mean… what it sounds like is that the Noahs did something to his innocence, messed with his mind, and did something to trigger that reaction when his innocence arm is touched…" stated the Bookman to be.
"Well… we don't want him to wake up and do anything like this again… so why don't we put him in the 'white room'?" inquired 65.
"That might be best… I mean he won't be able to hurt himself or others in the 'white room'…"
Lavi and Crowley carried Allen up to the "white room" on the 17th floor, while the others got to tending to Reever's wounds.
.:Twelve Hours Later:.
Allen awoke to find himself tied up in a straight jacket, lying in a small white bed, and in a large white room with pillow looking things covering all of the walls and ceilings. He didn't like how he was restrained and that the room was so bright, so he shut his eyes tight and twisted and squirmed with all his might to get out of the jacket that bound his arms together behind his back. But then a golden golem flew by his head and started to play a recording:
A tall man with an exorcist coat, long red hair, a mask covering half of his face, and a large brimmed hat appeared in front of Allen.
"Hello, idiot. I heard you came back, alive, good for you. I also heard that you are as crazy as you can get in the head. Well I don't care about that! You idiot apprentice! Getting yourself caught like that! And then letting them screw with your damned innocence! And on top of all of that, you let them mess with your mind a make you a damned lunatic! You are a disgrace and I can't believe you were my apprentice! And because of you they want me to come back there and see if I can talk any sense into you or if I could just get you to behave! I HATE it there! But because of YOU, I am being forced to come back! When I get back there I'm going to rip you limb from limb! GOT IT!"
And then the picture went fuzzy and disappeared.
Timcampy then closed his mouth and went to go snuggle up against Allen's neck to show the boy how much he missed him. But Allen just backed away from the little flying golem and cowered in the corner of his small white bed. He didn't know why, but seeing that man, and hearing his harsh voice just made him chilled to the bone and frightened out of his wits. He also felt a deep hatred bubble up from the depths of his heart for this red haired exorcist, and it wasn't just his average hate of exorcists, it was hate with a passion. He felt as if he saw that man in person, he would wring the man's neck.
The came a knock on the door, not a knock actually… more like a kick… and then it came once more… Then there was that voice.
"LET ME IN YOU IDIOT!"
"Cross… it's not like he could let you in… For one, it's locked from the outside, and for two, he's in a straight jacket…" stated Lavi as he unlocked the door.
"YOU!" The older man screamed at Allen while stomping towards the boy.
Allen was half temped to cower in the corner but was also half temped to lunge at the man named "Cross" and bite him if he had to. And… hate once again won over fear. He lunged at the taller man with all the force he could manage without the use of his arms and actually bit Cross so hard that he bled.
"WHAT THE HELL!? WHY THE HELL ARE YOU GOING AROUND BITTING PEOPLE!? YOU NOW GOT ME ALL DIRTY FROM YOUR FITHY SLOBBER!" so Cross then decided to fulfill his threat of ripping the boy limb from limb and lunged at Allen.
Allen reacted to the lunge by attempting to bite the man again but failed and was pinned to the ground. Allen then resorted to hissing out every curse word known to man.
Lavi just stared at the two of them fight, with Cross obviously having the advantage, but that little Allen giving him a hell of a good fight. Man… Even when he doesn't remember who Cross is… he still remembers all the hatred he had for the man… Lavi finally decided to brake up the two and ended up getting cursed at, bitten, punched, and kicked, but finally succeeded in stopping the fight.
"Why don't we all just try to be nice?"
"Never."
"You killed my father, why should I listen to you?!"
"I never killed your father…"
"Yes you did. You bastard."
"I didn't damn it!"
"JUST SHUT UP BOTH OF YOU!"
"NO!" Allen and Lavi shouted in unison but then Lavi received a death glare from the boy sitting on the floor in a straight jacket.
They all continued fighting for about five minutes until Timcampy decided to step in and stop it all by chomping down on all of their ears. But by now it was late and Cross and Lavi were forced by Reever to leave the room and let Allen sleep.
.:Two AM:.
Allen had not been able to sleep. How could he in this straight jacket anyway? But then again, if he slept, how would he know if Road or Tyki came looking for him? He desperately wanted to go back with them… He hated it here, especially after they locked him in this room for just having a little fun… And now this "Cross" guy… he didn't even know why he hated him so much but he really wanted to kill this man more than anyone, even more than he wanted to kill Mana's killers. When Allen was lost in his train of thought, he didn't realize that there was a tall man in a top hat and suit coming though the door of the white room, without opening it. But he was awakened from this train of thought when the man placed a hand over his mouth and picked him up.
"Hey, Allen. Did you miss me?" Tyki whispered.
"Tyki! I'm so glad you're here! I hate it here! Everyone is so mean and I missed you guys so much! I even missed Skin…"
"Whoa… you really did miss us!"
"Can we go now?"
"Of course."
As Tyki was about to leave the room while carrying Allen, none other than the infamous Lavi appears.
"Where the hell do you think you're going!?"
"Well, we were just on our way out… so if you'll excuse us, my dear Lavi…"
"You are not leaving here with Allen!"
"I think I am… and to be honest, I don't think he really belongs in this place, unlike you…"
"And why not!?"
"I wasn't kidding about him being our brother."
