Truth Be Hidden

Chapter 3

Awakening

Flashback

He saw her usually determined eyes, filled with fear. Then Tyki understood what he just asked.

He asked her to live with the people who had always wanted to kill her and her friends.

Surprisingly, those fearful eyes took on a solid and that wonderful determined look again.

"I will."

Tyki had never felt more happy. Hugging Allen in a passionate embrace, Allen let the tears flow from her eyes. She realized she was just as stubborn as he was. Right then, Allen knew that Tyki Mikk, her almost-murderer, her enemy, the demon that could easily take her heart right out of her body and not leave a single drop of blood behind, loved her. And she loved him back.

She began to remember all the times where it killed her inside to fight the enemy that she cared about.

That's why she always lost the fights towards Tyki.

She couldn't bare to hurt him.

He felt the same way.

That's why, at that moment, Allen didn't fight back. She let her emotions take over her actions. (As all women did.)

Why was he the enemy again? She couldn't remember..

Tyki looked into her silver eyes. Why did he agree to kill her? He forgot...

The sun was now brightening the whole room with orange, red, and golden shadows.

Allen blushed many different shades of red as Tyki pulled her closer. Wrapping one arm around her waist, and setting a hand gingerly around her neck, he closed the space between them.

His lips were soft and warm..

Her lips were full and delicate...

And she was willing.

Slowly.. Allen began to notice she was still half naked.

Tyki noticed this a long time ago... but he didn't tell her for it was fulfilling his pleasure.

He noticed her gently starting to open her mouth.

Almost. He almost accepted that invitation. But Tyki realized where they should be.

In bed... You should be in a bed with that girl..

The Noah inside his mind was tempting a great deal. Once again. WHY was he chosen for the Noah of Pleasure?

It took him all of his concentration to pull away from that kiss.

But he knew more would await him.

"Darling.. we need to leave.." He whispered huskily against her lips/

He couldn't have sworn he saw the pout in her eyes.

Chuckling, Tyki placed a kiss on her forehead.

Once...Twice... Three times..

He pulled away yet again.

Allen was dazzled. That was her first kiss. And what an amazing and sensual kiss at that.

Finally regaining her senses, she began collecting all her important items and needs into her exorcist bag. She pulled a pair of denim jeans that she never wore over her perfectly carved hips, and squeezed into a tight silver tank top that wouldn't display her rack very much. Slipping into her combat boots, Tyki waved his hands in the air to show Road's door that led to anywhere you wished to be. And she knew exactly where she wanted to go.

It was time to go to her real home.

Tyki could tell that his favorite exorcist was frightened. Akuma were floating in and out of every door, every hallway, every corner of the Noah's house. He gripped her hand to reassure she was in no trouble at all. He was there with her, always and forever.

They soon came to a large set of double doors with that royal pattern that matched Road's dimension doors.

Allen tensed. What if the Noah killed her right on the spot? What if they hurt Tyki for bringing in an exorcist to the Noah Clan's home? So many what if's...

Tyki could see she was regretting this. Taking her chin in his hand, he lifted her lips to his. Allen immediately melted into the kiss.

The doors of the main hall busted open to reveal a very giddy and happy-go-lucky girl with spiky blue hair and flashing gold eyes.

"Uncle Tyki! You're back!"

Road glomped her favorite uncle, and then turned to the stunned exorcist next to him.

Her eyes flashed in hate.

"Tyki.. Why would an exorcist be with you in our home?"

Fearing the worst might be coming true, Tyki set down Road on the floor.

"Road. I want you to help me out here."

Road pouted.

"Only if you buy me a year's worth of candy!"

Tyki face palmed.

"Whatever Road. I want you to tell the Earl, that the 14th Noah has finally come over to our side."

Allen watched in horror as Road danced to where the Millennium Earl sat in the dark shadows.

Even from across the room, she could feel the aura of hate coming from him.

Allen watched as Road bent over to whisper something in the Earl's ear.

His aura changed. It was now full of curiosity and wonder.

He waved his hand and soon, all of the Noah Clan appeared in the depths of the shadows the Earl was sitting in.

Allen counted 12.

Tyki counted as 1.

Which made all 13 Noah.

All of the Noah had the same inhuman gray skin, crosses going from left to right across their foreheads, and those demon-like eyes. Each that sickening shade of yellow.

But Tyki's was gold.

His were different.

They were warm.

Not blood thirsty like the other Noah.

The Earl tilted his head, and all Noah showed that much too wide of a grin on their faces.

"My dear Allen Walker. I welcome you to our family."

Tyki stood behind Allen, holding the girl's hands behind her back, stroking her wrist soothingly.

The change began.

She gasped in pain.

The crosses scared over her forehead. Blood trickled down each cross, matching the deep red color of her scar on her left eye. Allen let out the most blood curdling scream, it rang throughout Tyki's ears. He tried desperately not to stop the Earl. This was her choice. His request. Their home. Her creamy white skin took that gray-ish color, and she closed her eyes, only trying to focus on Tyki's fingers, stroking her wrist.

He felt her shoulder's relax.

Tyki tensed, and walked around to where he could see his love's face clearly, making sure she was alright.

"Allen, lovely." He whispered. His golden eyes filled with worry and concern.

She slowly began to open her eyes.

Tyki gasped at how beautiful she looked.

Her once sparkling silver eyes were now replaced with those warm and rich golden eyes that all Noah possessed.

She looked at him, and smiled.

Tyki almost forgot how to breath.

The Earl chuckled.

"My dear Allen Walker, who has finally awakened as our beloved 14th. I welcome you with open arms to the Noah Clan."

HEHE! XD Next chapter will be out how Tyki gets to know Allen. :) and what he does to get her to tell him. (wink wink) ;D
