Hey, everyone! its saku-chan. (strange nickname i know, long story, dont ask....) anyway i allmost forgot,
I DO NOT OWN DGM! or Ouran High

also any and all flames will be used to commemorate the dead! ooh, look, isn't it shiny!

also, please review, they are greatly appreciated!

When Allen woke up, he was still in the host clubs room, but there was a rather large group of people gathered around him, just staring. He didn't know any of them which made him a little nervous. Before his nervousness could turn to panic, however, Lavi's face popped into his field of vision. This calmed him immensely to know that there was a friend within the sea of strangers.

"You ok? Allen? Still groggy?" Lavi sighed, then turned to Tamaki and said, "Can you please get these people out of Allen's face? They are scaring him, and with a fever as high as his that will only serve to make it get even higher." Then he followed everyone's eyes and realized what every one was staring at, Allen's gloves were missing. This angered him immensely and he shouted "Ok, who took off Allen's gloves?!"

When Allen heard this he slowly lifted up his trembling hands only to realize that Lavi's statement was true, to his absolute horror his gloves were GONE! Terrified by this, Allen did something no one thought he was capable of in the state he was in; he bolted upright and ran out of the room, fast. He ran until he came upon a bathroom and ran into one of its stalls and shut and locked the stall door. He then proceeded to put down the toilet seat and quietly sat down on it holding his head. Now the stalls in the bathroom went from floor to ceiling so thankfully no one would be able to come in from bellow the walls. He didn't relax till the door was shut and locked.

As he sat, he looked down at his hand dismally. Trying to think of a way to hid it but coming up with none he sighed heavily.

Another thing about these bathrooms is that the stall doors had one way mirrors embedded into them, allowing the person in the stall to see out, but prevented the people outside from seeing in. this was quite helpful when one was hiding, like Allen was, because he could look out and see anyone that would wish him harm right outside the door. But it was also kind of unnerving, (trust me, I know. Those types of stalls are very creepy, especially in the middle of a movie theater…)

He paid explicit attention to how much noise he was making, making sure to make as little noise as possible so that no one would notice him.

After about 3 hours of hiding he decided that it was safe to leave the bathroom without being seen.

He left the bathroom nervously and, hoping he could get back to the hotel he and lavi were staying at fairly quickly, walked down the hall in complete silence. Unfortunately for him he ended up bumping into Haruhi.

"Allen-kun!" Haruhi called, running to catch up with him.

"o-oh, hello, Haruhi-sama, I thought you were with the rest of the host club." (1) Allen stated after realizing that it was her. (He knew it from the start; he was just too polite to point it out. XP) "Ano, Haruhi-sama, why are you wearing a boy's uniform?" he asked his curiosity winning over his polite side.

"UM…" she said.

"Oh, so sorry, please forgive me, I didn't mean to pry. You don't have to answer if you don't want to." Allen exclaimed, embarrassed that he had made her nervous (or at least that's what he thought…"

"No, no, its ok, it's just that not many people know that I am a girl, so you just surprised me, that's all. Also, please don't call me –Sama, its weird. Ok, one last random question, how old are you?"

"Um… 15" he replied warily.

"Ok, then –kun will do! Um… Allen-kun, did something happen in your past that traumatized you so baldy that you are afraid to show your arm? You don't have to tell if it's too painful, but I would really like to know." She said somewhat timidly.

"O-Ok, if you really want to know, I will tell you…" Allen said.

"Ok, if you tell me your background, I will tell you mine!" Haruhi replied exuberantly.

"Alright, I will tell you my past… when I was little my true parents abandoned me because of my deformed left arm. I wandered around for quite a while, always keeping my arm covered, and never staying in one place for more than a week. Whenever someone found out about my arm they would call me devils spawn or some cruel name like that, then they would proceed to beat me within an inch of my life. Then I met mana. Mana was my foster father, he loved me as if I were his own son, and I loved him as if he was my true father. We lived happily for many years. But then, when I was 12, he died, and the rest doesn't matter! Aside from meeting lavi as well as all of my other friends who treat me as their equally rather than something inferior." Allen finished, before letting out a heavy sigh.

"Oh, man, that's harsh. I am so sorry; no wonder you were so scared.

"Actually I personally don't think it was as bad as it could have been. And because of this I am perfectly fine with it, well aside from Mana's death…"

Here we are!" Haruhi exclaimed, for they had just arrived back at the host club room, much to Allen's dismay.

………………………………………..Meanwhile……………………………..………….

"So, you are Allen's friend right, so can you tell me a little about his past?" Kyoya asked, clipboard out ready to take notes.

"To be perfectly honest, I don't really know the answer to that, I mean; I have gotten bits and pieces out of him here and there, but nothing more. But you should ask him yourself, you might get more of an answer out of him than I was able to get. If you do succeed, can you also tell me? I mean I am his comrade and all…" lavi babbled, not making a whole lot of sense.

As Haruhi and Allen walked into the room, everything went silent. After seeing his arm no one knew how to approach him.

Allen fidgeted silently under their scrutinizing gaze, fearing what would happen next, getting ready to run if necessary.

"A-Allen, please forgive me, I was off running an errand, and didn't know what had happened till I heard the screams…" Tamaki stated apologetically.

That's-alright. What happened happened? Nothing can be done about it now." Allen said sadly.

"Allen-kun, please, forgive us, we were curious about what was under your gloves, we knew we shouldn't have removed your gloves, but even still that doesn't excuse our actions, and for that we are truly sorry." One of the girls said, with everyone else nodding along with her.

"It-its ok, I forgive you… so what are you going to do, now that you know? Run away screaming? Punch me then walk out? Beat me up? What?" Allen said with a slight edge to his voice, because though he was fearful, he was still desperate for an answer. And so he shut his eyes and waited for the inevitable.

"Moyashi-chan! I was soooooooooo worried! I couldn't find my little brother A~~~~~~~~ny where!" lavi whined, after glomping Allen from behind so tightly that he couldn't even breath because he had only just gotten back from searching. "Please don't do that again, especially when you have a rather high fever." Lavi finished. Then he picked up Allen, and, before he could protest, he plopped him down on the couch.

"Lavi!" Allen whined, "How many times must I say this, my name is ALLEN! And I am not you brother, baka usagi." Allen finished, borrowing Kanda's nickname for lavi in his time of annoyance. But pouting, he did as he was told and did not get up.

"Oh, Allen, the host club will be putting on a ball in about a week, so, since you are a member of the host club, you will have to attend. And don't think you will get out of it just because you have a cold, that's the entire reason it isn't going to be for a while." Tamaki said seriously.

*Growl~~~~~~~~~l* "hehe, alright, but can I eat first? Please?!" Allen begged feeling like he hadn't eaten in foreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeever.

"Ok, Allen, give me a list of foods you want to have and I will go get as many of them as possible!" lavi said because he was the only one who knew of Allen's Ginormus appetite.

"Kay, I would like to have (hey can someone give me a list of foods, I am unsure of where to find one…but until I get a list, use your imagination, people, everyone has one!) and thank you lavi!" Allen said finishing the list of foods that he wanted with a yawn.

"Kay~! I will be back, but in the mean time, I would like you to get some sleep." Lavi said, then to Tamaki, ignoring the girls purposefully, "Please make sure he gets a nap, he could really use the rest." Lavi said before setting off to find what he had been asked to get.

"Sure……thing….. does he always eat that much?!" he replied shocked by the long list of foods that Allen had mentioned.

"Yup! See ya soon!" he called back before leaving the room.

"Ok, Tamaki-san, who was that? He seemed to know Allen-kun really well." One of the girls asked, walking towards Allen, who flinched back a little. When she saw him flinch she stopped, and Allen immediately relaxed.

"*yawn* good night~" had with that he fall into a sound sleep.

"Kawaii, I don't care if his arm is different, he is so adorable when he is asleep!" one of the girls squealed quietly so as not to wake him up.

"I Agree completely!" another stated.

"anyway, *cough* ah yes, the red heads name is lavi and he is indeed a close friend of Allen's. Please treat him with the respect that he deserves." Kyoya announced to their guests as a whole.

____________________________ (Half an hour later)__________________________

"Finally back, Man, the food here sure is expensive, remind me to get the food elsewhere next time, Kay?" lavi exclaimed wheeling in a cart of food, or should I say it was more like there was no cart, just food.

*sniff, sniff* "FOOD!!!!!" Allen exclaimed, waking up immediately.

"hehe, yes, but you stay put, I will come to you, lenalee would kill me if I let you over exert yourself like you did on the ark." Lavi half jokingly said, while wheeling the food over to his starving companion.

"Hope you enjoy it, Twas the orders money, MWAHAHAHAHAHA~" lavi cried out in a sing song voice.

But Allen was indifferent to his surroundings as he dug into his food, starving after about half a day without food.

"Allen!" Renge exclaimed, with no effect, "it is impolite to eat like that!" she tried again, this time taking away the food, which got Allen's immediate attention.

"foo-d? FOOD!" he exclaimed looking at his food that was currently in Renges possession. "*Sniff, sniff WAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!*" Allen began to cry, because Renge had taken away his precious food.

"What did you do that fore?!" lavi exclaimed angrily to Renge as he tried to comfort Allen.

"the way he was eating was impolite, especially here." Renge replied indifferent to the entire situation she had just caused.

"it's not Allen's fault that he has to eat like that! He has a medical condition that requires him to consume large amounts of food within a short period of time. Trust me, this is normal for him. Now kindly return the food to him so that bad things do not happen to you." Lavi said in a deadly calm voice.

"fine, fine, and Allen," Renge said fearful of the wrath of an angry red head.

"Huh?" Allen replied sadly looking up at Renge with eyes that were clearly begging her to give him back his food.

"I am sorry, I didn't know, here's your food back!" she replied quickly before handing the food over. Never once did she feel Lavi's penetrating glare leave her back.

"That's ok!" Allen replied immediately cheerful again as he got back to the most important thing in the room to him at that time, his food.

_______________________A day less than a week later_________________________

"oh, ya, you mentioned that before!" Allen started a little nervously, since he had gotten over the cold just 2 days prior to the events taking place.

"yes, we did. Why do you seem so nervous, are you like Haruhi and can't dance?" Tamaki asked.

"……………………"

"you cant, can you. Oh well, we will just have to teach you!" Tamaki stated cheerfully.

And so began the dance lessons (to quote my friend and editor, "oh lord……")

______________________________and the party begins._________________________

"Welcome! Please have fun and enjoy yourselves at the party!" they all said in unison, including lavi who had somehow become an honorary member of the host club. (2)

"so, since you two are commoners, you probably don't get to eat high class foods often, so if there is anything you want, don't hesitate to ask!" Kaoru and Hikaoru exclaimed in unison.

"Do you have… Fancy tuna?" Haruhi asked hesitantly.

"Someone get Haruhi some fancy tuna!" Tamaki shouted.

"Anything you want Allen?" Kaoru asked.

"Well, although nothing can beat jerry-san's cooking, do you have dango?" Allen asked.

"um, there is some down there on the table…" kaoru started, but before he could say anything more, a rather large group of girls had brought over a heaping plate of them just for him.

"Yummy! This is really good! But it still can't beat jerry-san's cooking…" Allen said between bites, slightly disappointed, but not all that much, seeing as he knew that on one could beat jerry-san's cooking.

"Ano, Allen-kun?" asked a girl with light purple hair (Not Road, people.) as she walked up to him.

"Hai, hime-san, what can I do for you?" Allen asked (its hime-san, because Tamaki had drilled it into his head that that is what he is supposed to call their guests, also, Clueless! Hehe)

"May I…….. have this dance?" she asked.

"Ano,……" Allen began before being interrupted.

"sure, he would love to!" lavi exclaimed, glomping Allen from behind. From there he proceeded to whisper in Allen's ear. "congrats, looks like you just hooked a real cutie, go get her!" lavi whispered.

Soon a song began to play, it was a sad, slow song called The haru haru, as the D.J. later announced, and Allen led her out onto the dance stage and they began to dance.

"Wow, You're really good!" she exclaimed before adding "oh, my name is ari, (aka, Arianna)"

"really? I don't think I am that good, I only just learned how to dance yesterday." Allen replied.

Suddenly there was a whirring sound and Allen collapsed clutching a hand over his left eye.

"Ano, Allen-kun? What was that noise just now?" ari asked concern in her voice.

"um, I'm Sorry, but I have to go." Allen said quickly before running away.

"Lavi!" Allen shouted before disappearing outside.

Once outside, he began running, trying to pinpoint the akumas location, which he soon found to be about half a mile away. He immediately ran to the location only to find three level akuma floating above the ground in a clearing that spanned about 15 feet in diameter.

"Well, well, exorcist, that was quick! Now, shall we begin?" it said and within moments an all out battle had erupted.

"Activate, CROWN CLOWN!" Allen cried, before immediately getting down to business and, used crown clown's cape to capture one of the akuma, only to destroy it moments later using the claws that had once been his left hand. He then moved on to the next one, and was about to repeat the process when the other remaining akuma came up behind him and shot one of its bullets through his shoulder, fairly close to his heart. This sent forced Allen to hurriedly destroy the 2nd akuma before he fell to the ground on one knee before being blasted back a second time. It was at this point that lavi arrived at the clearing.

"Allen?!" lavi shouted fearful for his friends life.

"stay back!" Allen called to lavi before raising his hand and shouting to the heavens "Cross Grave-u!" he cried out destroying the remaining akuma. Once it was destroyed, he collapsed to the ground both from blood loss, as well as exhaustion and pain from his now broken leg.

"Komui," lavi said, speaking into the receiver of a phone that just happened to be in the host club's room.

"Yes, lavi? What is it?" Komui asked.

"um… I think that people are beginning to suspect that there is more to us than meets the eye. I think it would be easier for us to work if they knew what was going on." Lavi said into the receiver.

"I agree with you completely" Komui replied, before putting his hand over the mouth piece and saying "hey Levi (levier) do you think it would be a good idea to tell the school populace about us if they are already guessing at it anyway?" komui asked.

"*sigh* alright, go ahead." Levi said.

"yay!" Komui exclaimed before returning to his conversation. "it's a Yes! I will contact the head master about an assembly to explain everything as well as the dangers of getting in the way." Komui stated happily.

"Kay, Thanks, Komui!" lavi exclaimed exuberantly.

There was a click and the line went dead.

Well there you have it, sorry it took so long, my sister decided to hog the computer for like a day or more.

1) He calls them sama because he is technically working for them.

2) Lavi is an honorary member of the host club because he is Allen's "bodyguard" and all of the host clubs usual members voted that he should also become an honorary member of the host club *sweat drop…*

Well, wow, this was even longer than the last chapter, about eleven pages hand written where as there were only eight pages hand written in the last one. Hehe, the hand written pages are full of colors because my friend always uses pretty highlighters.

Well hope you enjoyed this chapter of the story,
