DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN ANY OF THIS. I ONLY OWN THE PLOT

Ch.3

After finally putting that poor Akuma soul to rest, Allen let out a soft sigh before looking around. Thankfully, the Akuma wasn't hiding in plain sight so Allen didn't have to worry about unwarranted questions from people passing by on the street. The town was unknown to him. Allen was extremely grateful for that, due to the fact that maybe he could have escaped from the Order's radar, if only for a little bit.

After the former exorcist had aimlessly wondered about the town, getting a layout in his head, he collapsed on to a bench. Running a gloved hand through his hair, Allen leaned back to let his face bask in the few sunlight rays left. "Are you okay?" Neah asked softly, trying to push into control of the quickly suppressed Neah and sighed. "It's like they can't let me live out the rest of my damned life in peace. First Lenalee, then I see Timothy and finally Kanda. Why can't they just let me go?" The white-haired clown groaned, closing his eyes as he thought about his friends that he left behind when he left the Order. "This is your entire fault, Neah. If you weren't in me, I could still be over there, enjoying their company." Neah stayed silent as Allen continued to blame him for all of this. "I'm sorry." The Noah tried to console Allen but the clown wouldn't accept any of it.

After the sun dipped below the horizon, Allen finally got up, a low rumple erupting from his stomach. A low chuckle left his mouth as he made his way to the closest restaurant. Once he passed through the door, a few people looked up at Allen, surprised and a bit afraid of the man with white hair and a blood red pentacle on his face. Ignoring them, Allen requested a table and waited for a few moments before the hostess led him to his table. Once again, Neah pushed for control due to how he could tell that Allen was clearly exhausted from everything that has happened lately. All of this was taking a toll on Allen's body and the teenager hadn't been getting enough sleep lately due to how they were always on the run from the Order or other Noah.

To Neah's surprise, Allen let him take control as Allen receded to the back of his mind, the puppet quiet. Once his waitress appeared, Neah gave her a small smile as he ordered a cup of coffee before he began to even look at the menu. As the waitress left to go retrieve Neah's coffee, the Noah opened up the menu to see what even looked appealing to him. A low chuckle left his mouth when the waitress reappeared to take his order. The poor girl didn't know how big the host's stomach was, due to his Innocence draining his energy rather quickly.

As Neah was busy eating food, Allen was deep in thought. He thought about everything that has happened to him over the past couple years. He got accepted into the Order and formed bonds with everyone, The Order became his home and he loved it. Then, the Noah began to appear and soon Tyki was destroying Allen's innocence, leaving him dead. Flash forward and Allen is invoking Crown Clown. After that, Allen was sent to aid his team and then was sent into the Earl's arc to save everyone and eventually ends up breaking the critical point, making his synchronization with Crown Clown over 100%. Past that, Allen ends up gaining the arc and everything was just sent down from there. Allen though about who he had left in life. It was just him, Timcanpy, Neah and his beloved Innocence, Crown Clown. It seemed as if everything that Allen invested into went straight to Hell. It was like God forgotten about Allen or got some sick enjoyment from watching Allen suffer.

Suddenly, Allen pushed for control and quickly finished up the meal, setting some money onto the table and leaving the restaurant. "Allen, what's happening?" Neah demanded to know why Allen decided to suddenly take up control and make them leave the pleasant restaurant. "I have a bad feeling about this." The puppet murmured, looking around, his eyes scanning for any sort of threat or enemy.

A flash of red was spotted in Allen's peripheral vision but when he turned to look, it was gone. Anxious, Allen slowly began to walk toward the edge of the town, a long brown road in front of him. Another town could be spotted in the distance, but it was soon becoming too dark to tell exactly. Allen spotted another flash of red and green. "Who's there?" He called out, silver eyes narrowed as Allen slowly turned around to scan the area once again.

Gears suddenly appeared over his eye, the soft whirling could be heard throughout Allen's ears. Invoking his Innocence, Allen jumped back to narrowly avoid being hit by a barrage of bullets. It was a swarm of Level 3 Akuma, each attempting to attack Allen and claim him as their kill. "Nephew, let me have my fun with them. It's been so long since I got to play." Neah whined, trying to breech past Allen's mind and assume control of the body. The struggle for power could be seen outside of Allen's body as his eyes were shifting from calm silver to a dangerous gold.

The power struggle continued for a few moments before Neah finally won out and a terrifying smirk could be seen on the white haired clown's face as the skin turned a few shades darker. "Is this all that you got, Earl?" Neah growled as he dug his claws into the Akuma. "I want to play, Adam. Come and play with me." The Noah finished off the last Akuma once his sentence ended as a feral smirk made its way onto the host's face. "I'm not done playing just yet, little Allen." Neah purred as he looked around, trying to find any witnesses to what he was about to do. Once he made sure the coast was clear, Neah looked down and licked his lips. Neah willed the White Ark to open a gate beneath him. "Ark Arda!"Neah said as he dropped into the White Ark, watching the gate shatter behind him.

Once landing in the Ark,Neah looked around. Finally, he spotted the door he wanted. The door that led to the Black Order. "Neah, no!" Allen cried, trying to regain control of his body before the Noah within him tried to ruin everything he worked so hard. Allen finally got control and ran out of view of the door, his eyes wide as the door opened just as he hid behind a building. Kanda and Lenalee walked out from the door, discussing their latest mission. Just before the door shut, Timcanpy flew out and flew around the pair, bringing up memories of Allen.

"I saw Moyashi the other day. He ran into a train before I could get to him. Tch, baka Moyashi." Kanda grumbled out to Lenalee, barely loud enough for Allen to hear the conversation. A small frown graced his face as he looked down, waiting for Lenalee's response. "I just want Allen to come home. We can figure something out, I'm sure." Lenalee said to Kanda, a sigh escaping her lips. The duo soon walked into another door, cutting Allen off from their conversation. Timcanpy hovered next to the door, before the golem sensed his new masters' presence and made his way to Allen, landing on his head and wrapping his tail around Allen's neck. "Hey, Tim…" Allen whispered, looking up and sighing.

Stepping out from the shadows supplied by the building, Allen glanced back at the door that leads to the Black Order. He was caught in the middle. Allen wasn't just an exorcist, but a Noah. He was the gray part, stuck in a world made up of black and white. "Should I go back home…" He mused aloud, conflicted.

As all of this was happening, Neah was inside of Allen's head, angry that his playtime got caught off short by Allen. "Just keep this in mind Allen, wherever you go, you won't be able to get rid of me. I am you and you are me. We are one and nothing or no one can change that, no even you." Neah whispered, unheard by Allen.
