Until the End

Chapter 3

Underground Dock

"ALLEN-KUNNN!!!!," Leenalee shrieked, throwing her arms around his neck. "Why didn't you tell me you were leaving today! I thought we were closer than that!," she sobbed.

Allen rolled his eyes. This happened every time he left for a mission and he just knew that Kanda was white-knuckling mugen.

"Look, Leenalee. I didn't have time to tell you because Kanda and I had to... uh come to terms with this. You know how we think of each other," Allen lamely said, prying her arms off of him.

"NO!," she cried, redoubling her grip, "Your going to disappear just like General Cross and then be forcefully dragged back!"

'Urk' Allen's eye began twitching at the mention of his late master.

"We need to leave, so get your hands off the Moyashi," Kanda said. The tone of his spoke of his vexation and... possessiveness?... and Leenalee quickly let go of Allen.

"Well Allen-kun, I'll really miss you, so come back often to see me," she said before running up the stairs to the main floor of the Order.

Allen climbed into the boat across from Kanda. "Thanks," he said.

"That girl is getting too bold. Ever since the incident with the Ark, she's jumped you whenever her brother's not around," Kanda said, a vein popping in his forehead. They had been hiding their relationship, so he couldn't blame her for thinking Allen was available.

'But still he hasn't shown any interest in her, because he has me!'

Allen's eye's softened. "Yuu, don't be jealous. You know me better than anyone and you know that I see Leenalee as a sister," Allen sighed, "I don't know maybe when we get back we should come clean."

"What about the Earl?," Kanda asked. What the Millennium Earl would do with the knowledge of their relationship had been their biggest fear.

Allen shrugged. "He already tried using everyone against everyone. Hell, Rhoade tried using Lavi to kill me, so I don't see the point of trying to hide it anymore."

Kanda nodded his head in agreement and then smirked. "Just imagine the look on everyone's face when we come back and stop pretending to hate each other. They'll all try to figure out what happened when we were away," he said.

"Yeah I can imagine Lavi's face looking like he just got hit on the head with his hammer," Allen laughed.

'Leenalee will be pissed, thinking that Kanda stole me from her.'

As if reading his thoughts Kanda said, "Leenalee mistook your kindness as something more than it is. It's her own fault for deluding herself, so she has no right to be pissed at either of us. Besides if it bothers her that much, I did capture you first."

"I know, but I don't want to lose her as a friend," Allen sighed.

"You won't," Kanda promised.

.~*~.

Ireland

"Yuu, Yuu, Yuu!," Allen cried bouncing back to his boyfriend, clutching some kind of green plant.

"What is that?," Kanda asked, suspiciously. He couldn't help but remember the poison oak in America.

"It's nothing bad. It's a four leaf clover. It's a good luck charm! I bet we're gonna find an accommodator soon," Allen said, grabbing Kanda's hand as they continued to walk toward the next town.

'I just hope if we do, we don't run into any akuma.'

Just as Kanda thought this, Allen's left eye activated and they heard explosions from the town just ahead of them.

Allen and Kanda both looked at each other before sprinting into the town activating their innocence. When they reached the town center, they saw that it was filled with akuma.

"Fuck. Was this whole town just akuma?! With this amount there has to be an innocence fragment around here!," Kanda yelled, stabbing mugen through a level one.

"You'd think so," Allen shouted back, destroying five level ones with cross grave, "but no finders have been dispatched to this area, so how did the Earl get a jump on this without there being any abnormal incidents?"

"Don't know! Guess we'll figure it out when we get rid of these things. Luckily they're all level ones," Kanda responded.

Kanda and Allen continued destroying the akuma for an hour. Finally, they both ran their innocence through the last one. They both collapsed against each other and sat in the middle of the street.

"I-I c-can't remember the last time I've seen so many in one place," Kanda panted. Allen could only nod in agreement. They continued to sit for a few minutes regaining their breath. During this time, they began to hear a noise coming from an overturned cart a few feet from them.

"I think it's someone crying," Allen said, getting up to see into the shadows of the cart.

"Be careful," Kanda warned, "It could be another akuma." Allen raised his hand, indicating he had heard the warning, and bent down in front of the cart. Beneath it he saw a child that was about four or five years old.

The child looked up as he heard someone stop in front of his hiding place. In front of him was a person with spiky hair and a big claw. He was scarier than any of the monsters that were here before.

"NOOOO!!! Stay away! I don't want too!," he shrieked, his eyes glowing green. Allen watched as the boy's tears began to lift of his face and float in the air.

'Oh my God!'

Allen quickly deactivated crown clown. "Whoa, whoa, kid. Calm down! I'm human, the monsters are all gone," he said trying to calm the child.

The boy's tears slowed as he saw kind eyes and a kind face in front of him. "R-Really?," he sniffed, his eyes beginning to lose their glow.

Allen nodded and held out his hand to the boy, who took it. As he stepped out into the sun, Allen saw that he had a mop of wavy black hair and sapphire blue eyes. He walked with the boy back over to Kanda. The boy hid behind Allen as he caught sight of the Japanese man.

"What's with the kid?," he asked, watching a pair of blue orbs blink at him.

"An accommodator," Allen answered, giving Kanda a look that said that no more questions where to be asked about this at the moment. He sat down next to Kanda and the boy, deciding that Kanda was nice too, squeezed down between them.

"So," Kanda said, "first thing's first. What's your name, kid?"

"My name's Lyric O'Grady and I'm five," he said, cheering up a bit as he spoke.

"Lyric's an interesting name. How did you get it?," Allen asked.

"My mommy and daddy liked music,... but they, they turned into those scary m-monsters and tried to hurt m-me," Lyric stuttered beginning to cry at the thought of his parents. Allen wrapped his arms around him, slowly rocking back and forth and stroking the boy's hair. He looked over the boy's head at his lover with pleading eyes. The boy was too young to join the Black Order, but they couldn't just leave him there.

Kanda rolled his eyes and said, "Fine, fine! We'll look after him!"

.~*~.

An Inn

Allen sighed. It had been a long day.

They had spent the rest of the day walking the six miles to the next town. After about ten minutes Lyric had demanded that Kanda carry him. The boy had taken a liking to him and had promptly fallen asleep. Allen couldn't help but think how cute they looked.

During his musings, Kanda came up behind and wrapped his arms around Allen's waist. Allen leaned back against him enjoying the feel of his comforting arms.

"What's wrong, Moyahsi?," he asked. The teen had been watching Lyric sleep, with a frown on his face.

"We can't let the Order have him. He's too young to be doing this," Allen said, his eyes beginning to water at the thought of the boy's fate. No exorcist would wish their lot in life on anyone, especially on one with so much more life to live.

"Of course he is," Kanda said, "Don't worry, we'll go back to Headquarters after we train him to control his innocence. And since no one knows about this, we can wait till he's ready, go back out and say that it turns out the boy we found is actually an accommodator, much to our surprise. Until then, we'll protect him."

"Yuu," Allen whispered, turning around in his arms. He leaned up and sweetly kissed Kanda on the lips. Smiling he said, "You already sound like his father."

"Che. Laugh it up, mama."
