Until the End
Chapter four
Over the next month, the new "family" made their way across Ireland, to Dublin Harbor. Lyric became more out going and more of a handful. He took the explanation about the Earl, Noahs, and akuma in a way only a child could... blind acceptance. It made perfect sense that these things should exist, after all he had seen them.
During this time Allen and Kanda drilled him constantly, until he could control his innocence with conscious thought and not just emotions. Because of this Allen and Kanda felt it was safe to take him back to the Order, but they had warned Lyric to never allow anyone to know he was an accommodator.
~Dublin~
Bounce. Bounce. Bounce.
'Huh? Did we get on the ship already?' Allen thought groggily.
"Kaa-san! Tou-san! Wake up! You promised we could go to the festival!," Lyric shouted, jumping on the bed.
'Ugh. Why did Yuu have to teach him Japanese!'
"Baka Chibi! Stop jumping on the bed!," Kanda growled. His wild and sleep mussed hair intensified his glare. At this sight, Lyric quickly jumped off the bed with a squeak of fear.
"Yuu," Allen yawned, running a hand through his hair, "Stop scaring him. Jeez he's just doing what kids do."
Kanda blushed. "But I was having a really good dream, and the kid ruined it," Kanda practically whined.
Allen snorted. "Wow Yuu. Really? We'll be back at HQ at the end of the week. I think you can control yourself till then. Hmm?"
Kanda mumbled something that sounded like "it's still early."
"It's seven," Allen said, "You usually wake up at four to meditate, so get up. The ship leaves at noon and we promised Lyre that he could see some of the festival."
Lyric let out a whoop and dragged his parents out of bed, shouting, "Let's go!"
.~*~.
"Sugoi!," Lyric said, his eyes as big as saucers. He began running from booth to booth and looking at the various games, food, and wares.
"Lyre!," Allen shouted, "Don't wander too far. We have to be at the dock in an hour!"
Lyric barely heard the warning as he came to a fortune teller's booth. The girl inside it looked to be about fourteen and had spiky blue hair.
"Hello little boy. Would you like me to read your fortune?," she asked, sweetly.
"Ah sure."
The girl took out a deck of tarot cards and began to shuffle and deal them. Inspecting the cards she said, "My, my you have an interesting future."
"What do you mean?," Lyric asked leaning over the cards.
"You have been through a great tragedy, but you have also found great joys. A home and a family, but it will not last. You will lose everything." At this last statement the girl smiled sadistically.
"Uhh, I think I hear my Kaa-san calling me," Lyric said, unnerved. He ran back to where his parents were waiting for him.
The girl watched him go, the sadistic smile still on her face, as her skin turned gray and a row of crosses appeared on her forehead.
"Fufufu. I can't wait to play with you again, Allen, and your new little family," Rhode laughed.

oh noes!!! What do the Noahs have planned?
sorry this chapter is so short, so to make up for it i shall give you a double chapter! yay!
and yes I am aware that Kanda is a bit OOC. I did this on purpose, because it was the only was to make the story work. besides in this story K and A never really hated each other, they just acted like it for the benefit of everyone else. My story, my rules. :)
Whew, hopefully that's the end of that. Till next time.
