Just wanted to metion I don't own D. Gray man So there's your disclaimer.

"Come on Allen play with whined the small girl."

"Jeez road we've been playing for hours give me a break. All you ever want to do is play. Why don't we just sit down for a while?"

"But Allen, I wanna play- "Well too bad Road! I'm sick of playing with you. So will you just leave me alone?"

The poor girl looked at him with tears in her eyes and started to turn away but he grabbed and pulled her to his chest.

"I'm sorry road he said. I shouldn't have snapped at you like that I'm just worried about my dad he should have been back by now."

"I thought you said you didn't know when he was coming back."

"I don't but I just have his morbid feeling that something is wrong that's all. I really am sorry I snapped at you he said wiping the tears from her face. You know I didn't mean that, I love playing with you I just have a lot on my mind right now that's all. With my dad missing and my conversation with Adam yesterday"- "what conversation?" interrupted Road worried about her guardian.

"Well it wasn't really a conversation I guess. We were at breakfast and something seemed to be really troubling him but he wouldn't talk about it. I don't know why but he said it was nothing for me to worry about right now and that we might talk about it later when I was older."

"That's strange mused road. He's usually pretty open with me. You want me to talk to him about it?"

"Nah it's alright I'm sure he has his reasons for not telling me. He just doesn't want to talk about it that's all Road. It's no big deal really, I just care about him, he's like a second father to me you know."

The Earl having walked in at this moment nearly swooned from delight at hearing the boy thought of him as a father and swept the boy into a hug startling him.

"Oh thank you Allen and just so you know I think of you as my son. It's somewhat hard not to as much as I see you. And don't worry about our talk at breakfast. I'm fine. You really don't need to worry I was just having a bad morning that's all he said cheerily. Well now what should we do, he said looking at the two of them. I really want to go out but there is the matter of Allen not having proper clothes for the occasion said the Earl frowning slightly."

"Ooh don't worry squealed road I can take care of that proceeding to drag Allen to her room. She stopped suddenly looking back at the earl, is there anything specific you want him to wear?"

"No just something formal we all are going out to dinner and a movie he said warmly."

'This oughta be fun road thought to herself, but he is really going to hate this.'

Smiling she headed back to her room. Seconds later Allen's cries could be heard throughout the mansion.

"Wait road what are doing? No wait. Road… Road stop!" Aahhhh he ran screaming out of the room half naked pins sticking out him as road chased after him.

"Allen you have to let me measure you so the suit fits right."

The Earl chuckled to himself at the spectacle of Road chasing the half-naked Allen around the mansion. Allen screaming his head off was finally brought down as road tackled him to the ground. "

Well I was going to do this the easy way but since you want to be difficult I'll just have to tie you down instead then," she said grinning darkly and then dragged Allen back to her room to finish her work.

Hours later at the restaurant Allen was bickering with road as she kept poking him with her for.

"Would you stop it Road?"

"But I'm bored she whined. Millenie and I am already finished eating. Why do you have to eat so slowly?"

"It's not that I eat slow road it's that I ordered here twice as much food as you did silly," he said with a content look on his face as he sat back finally finished with his large meal.

The people around them looked in astonishment at the kid who had finished off more food in an hour than they would eat in a day. Even the earl was shocked staring at Allen slightly disturbed.

"What? I didn't get to eat lunch thanks to this one."

"Oh we both know enjoyed it she said, grinning at a now blushing Allen. See I knew it she said giggling, your face is redder than a tomato."

Allen's blush only deepened at this statement causing road to laugh even harder.

"All right you two calm down and get ready or well be late for the movie. Ooh what are we going to see? I don't know whatever you two can agree on he said. I really don't care I like anything as long as it involves you kids he said smiling.

This will be the end of the intro to the story and will be split into two parts. I'm sorry that these chapters have been so short but it was difficult to write Allen's childhood for me. The chapter after next will make a huge jump in time to warn you and Allen will be in high school.

I also apologize for theses short chapters taking me so long to write. Sadly my computer is not set up yet as I don't have a power cord for it. I will be getting one soon though so don't worry. And lastly I want to thank those who favorite so quickly because you made my week. Thank you and I will see you all again soon.
