A/N: I haven't updated this one in a while and before you all kill me I have a good reason! My email is not receiving mail from ff. net and I don't knows why. (sobs) Which means I get nothing. Sigh... I don't know what happened. Anyways, please read and review!

A New Experience
Allen blinked slowly, hiding behind Kanda like a lost child. There were so many sounds and they were all disconcerting. The train as it passed by made such loud hissing and rumbling sounds. The child and people waiting for the train were talkative and they crowded around Allen who hated and feared any touch but Kanda's.
"Relax, moyashi," the comforting voice from the raven-haired man and a reassuring touch on his shoulder soothed his frayed nerves. "It's just a train. Nothing is going to hurt you."
The white-haired boy merely nodded and buried his head into the other's exorcist jacket, shutting his eyes to block out any images of the frightening things. He was on one of his 'mute' days, as he liked to call them.
He was on a mission to Russia with Kanda. His first mission and needless to say, he was scared but having the older teen with him was nice. At least he wouldn't be alone.
Kanda was worried about the boy huddled behind him although his face didn't show it. This was the child's first mission and even though he was one to finish a mission efficiently and quickly, even though he hated burdens, he couldn't help but feel protective and gentle of his small lover.
"We're with the Black Order," he glared at the porter who was eying the quivering boy with what he saw as romantic interest. His hand reached possessively toward Allen's hands and his other hand reached for Mugen's hilt. No one, and he meant no one was allowed to look at his beansprout that way.
"Right this way," the man bowed, escorting them to the first class compartment. After giving Allen one last gaze, the man left leaving both teens alone. Kanda continued glaring at the door in case the porter came back while Allen sat in front of him, his head turned to the window.
The scenery whizzed passed the window and Allen snapped his head back and forth like an excited child to try to capture all of it. He had never been on a train before and the motion made his head spin. He turned back, moaning soundlessly and clutching his dizzy head. A small chuckle turned his attention to the man sitting in front of him.
"Stupid beansprout," Kanda chided softly, pulling the boy from his side to his lap. "Don't look outside if you're going to get dizzy."
Allen blushed when he felt long arms circle around him and keep him securely near the other man. He struggled to move back to his place but Kanda's arms wound tighter and pulled the child to his chest.
"Don't move, Allen," Kanda whispered in the white-haired exorcist's ear. Allen blushed even more but remained still.
His head turned back to the trees and water that was running passed by. He was enthralled with the sight to the point of not caring if he was dizzy from the constant snapping of his head. A hand descended on his line of sight however and he whined in protest.
"You're going to get yourself sick," Kanda growled in annoyance as the silver-eyed teen tried to pry off his hand. "Go to sleep. I'll wake you when we get there."
Allen had been with Kanda long enough to know that this was a command meant to be obeyed and gave up, submitting to the man's wishes. He made himself comfortable, leaning closer against the older teen's chest and closing his silver eyes. Eventually, his breathing evened out and he was fast asleep, feeling Kanda's breath blowing gently at his right ear.
The town was empty except for a stray pile of clothing and ash here and there. It was eerily quiet as the pair walked down the main road.
"They've been targeted by the akuma," Kanda murmured. Allen nodded, walking closer to the taller man.
Dozens of level one akuma surrounded the main akuma, a level three that snickered as they came near it.
"Exorcists," the akuma hissed, clapping its hands in sickening merriment. "Exorcists are here to play with me. I will have fun as I rip you limb from limb."
The machinery in Allen's curse whirred to life, turning into the monocle that zeroed in on the most gruesome part of the demon. The soul trapped within the akuma made Allen want to vomit like usual except this one was in sadder condition than all the others he had encountered. He had only fought level ones and twos so seeing a level three was devastating. The soul was deteriorated to the point where he could not recognize it and its screams of pain and anguish were louder in the cursed boy's ears than anything he had ever heard before. He crumpled to the floor and covered his mouth with his hand to fight the bile rising in the back of his throat.
It was too sad to watch and it scared him. The voice in the back of his head, his Innocence, sang in happiness at the sight of the akuma. It wanted nothing more than to destroy the demon. It wanted temporary possession of his body and it promised to free the soul within.
Allen saw the sense in that. He yearned to help the pitiful akuma and allowed the Innocence this one time.
"Innocence activate," Allen murmured soundlessly, allowing the euphoric feeling of the Crown Clown take him. The blinding white light that always felt warm surrounded him. His silver eyes shut closed and he permitted the voice in his Innocence to snake its tendrils across his body, controlling him like a puppet on strings.
This was the first time Kanda had seen Allen invocate and it was certainly a sight that took one's breath away. The boy's sweet and innocent expression was replaced with one of seriousness and duty that he had never seen on the teen before. A white cowl and a mask adorned Allen, making him seem much more mature and suited for battle. His Innocence hand had turned into long sharp claws and his whole aura radiated off as someone who had done battle many times.
Kanda both cursed and reveled in seeing Allen in such a magnificent form. He could not imagine the pain his young lover had to go through to get to such a high level of Innocence synchronization but he was relieved with the fact that Allen could protect himself and mildly proud that he had such a powerful comrade.
They moved into battle. The white-haired exorcist could feel his body moving quickly through the level ones, taking them out easily. He saw that his Innocence was aimed for the level three. It craved for the kill, licking his lips in anticipation.
"Ooh!" the akuma giggled, "You shall be first, little one? Very well, I'm sure your blood will taste as good as the pretty human boy's over there."
Allen felt his lips pull back in a smirk before lurching forward. His arm reeled back but the demon was quicker and swiped him away to one side.
"Moyashi!" Kanda shouted as the boy was thrown and crushed into the wall of a building. He moved to assist Allen but was blocked by a hoard of level one akuma. Their cannons singled onto him as he cursed, readying his sword.
The cursed exorcist groaned, pushing himself out of the debris. Blood was pouring down in rivers on both Allen's cheek and arms and he was sure the pain he felt in his ribs was because of something broken, but he ignored all the pain and stood alert.
'Wait for the opponent to strike first,' the voice ran through in his head. 'Find where they are striking and then move away.'
The akuma snickered with glee and struck out. Allen moved to the left in a fluid motion. The speed at which he was going astounded even him. The feeling of power fueled with adrenaline coursed in his veins. He loved this. He wanted more of this.
His body knew automatically what to do. It was like Allen was sitting in a corner of his own head, watching through his eyes like a movie projector. He flipped over the akuma and landed smoothly on its back. His lips moved without a sound.
"Pitiful akuma, may your soul find salvation," he formed before slicing one of his talon-like fingers in a cross. The light that was emitted was marvelous and he could hear the soul's happiness and relief. Along with the soul's happiness, he could feel his Innocence laughing in elation.
Allen wondered why his Innocence was so filled with joy until he realized that he couldn't get out of the small corner in his head. He was trapped and no matter how much he pushed and battered at the shields, he could not release its hold on his mind.
"Let me out!" he screamed internally, pounding away at the barriers his Innocence had set to restrain him. "You promised!"
The Innocence ignored him, not even fazed by his relentless smashing but instead turned to face the raven-haired exorcist in front of him. Allen's blood froze and his fighting stopped for a moment before returning full force.
Kanda was more than unnerved to see the smile on Allen's face. It was still the usual understanding smile but more mischievous and malicious. There was also an abnormal spark in the boy's eyes that didn't suit him.
He was even more surprised when Allen jumped into his arms, hugging him enthusiastically and peppering his cheeks with small kisses. Usually he had to coax the smaller boy into more intimate acts of touch but he seemed very willing today.
"Are you all right, moyashi?" Kanda forced the boy to face him and stop his acts of affection, eyes scanning the small and lithe body for any wounds.
"Kanda! That's not me!" Allen from inside his prison sobbed. "The Innocence has taken over my body!"
Little by little, Allen could feel his mind slip further away from his body. The Innocence was dominating him. It wanted full possession; his mind, his body, and his soul.
"Kanda, help me," he pleaded as drowsiness overtook his senses in his little corner where he had been shoved.
"Kanda, help me," the Innocence Allen said before his hand clasped his mouth shut but the older exorcist caught it.
"What did you say, beansprout?" the dark blue eyes narrowed in his direction.
Innocence Allen waved his hands in front of him, smiling and shaking his head in a 'nothing' gesture.
There was something odd about the cursed child after the fight. Kanda could see that but he waved it off.
A/N: There! More Yullen spam for the entire world! Yes, the Innocence has taken over Allen while he is being shoved into nothingness. Soon the darkness will crush him and he will cease to exist! Or will Kanda be there to save him? Fufufufu... tune in next time for more fluff!
Oh! And the Innocence part of Allen that has taken over our small adorable boy will be called Innocence Allen from now on.
