Cursed

Well I just noticed for the past oh last 3 chapters I forgot to change the rating…Ooops! LOL, well the poll from the last chapter is still going on and I do have at least 2 or 3 more plot twists prepared. Though it makes me wonder how many readers will want to kill me at one of the plot twists….Oh well! ^_^.


I was annoyed, very annoyed and that was putting it very lightly to say the least. At the moment all of us were sitting at the dinner table watching as our Lord Millennium and my Shishou were having a go at it in a game of chess. First it was amusing to see the both of them getting frustrated because the last four games came out as a tie…if that is even possible to begin with. Secondly and lastly, since when has my Shishou known how to play chess?! I groaned leaning over resting my head onto Roads shoulder since I was sitting in Tyki's chair because he had been sent out on some sort of mission by the Earl. She giggles and pats me on the head for reassurance. He had been gone for a few days now and wasn't due back till sometime late tonight or early morning tomorrow.

"You're quite good Adam, but I may have you beat at this game. Check!" My Shishou said and only narrow my eyes and sigh knowing something bad was going to happen when the Earl made his move.

"Check mate…you were saying?" The Earl said with a playful smile on his face and none of us were surprised at the table flip that came next. I swear I couldn't be any more embarrassed the moment Cross began shouting that the Earl had cheated. Which in turn began an argument between the two very disagreeable men; oh I wish Tyki was here to make things better than what they were at this very moment!

"Want to go into town?" Road asked and I could only nod my head as the two of us slipped out of our chairs and out the door quietly before making a run for her room.

"It's about time we can sneak you out! You've been here what, almost 2 months and still isn't allowed to leave yet?!" She said as she made a door appear in her room and we slipped through it appearing into an alley. I immediately knew where we were and I slightly cringed.

"Well you can't blame them first it's because the entire Black Order is out to kidnap me; second it's because my innocence is no longer in use till god knows when!" I say glaring at the rainy sky of London above us before letting out a sigh.

"I'm sorry Allen we can go back and I can open another door if you like…" Road began to say and I only shook my head before holding my hand out to her.

"Let's go shopping shall we besides I've been wanting to get out so I can get Tyki a birthday gift!" I smile the both of us run out into the street heading straight for where I knew the market was. It doesn't take us long to get there and we go to the first stand where they are selling antique goods.

"Any idea on what Tyki would want for his birthday?" I ask and I nearly jump from the smile on her face.

"You naked on his bed wrapped in nothing but a red ribbon only allowed to untie you with his mouth." She says and I truly begin to wander if she is sane at all.

"I think you need to stop read Sheryl's love book collection!" I say feeling the edge of my lips twitching from the forced smile I had put on.

"Lord Millennie says that to, but how else am I to help with giving Tyki ideas on what to do with you on the day he finally decides to take you and make you his!" She giggles happily and I swear there was stars in her eyes with little tiny hearts flying around her.

"This makes me happy that Jasdevi only wants to play games and pranks with me." I say with a sigh and I am only hugged by Road soon after.

"Oh come on think really hard on what Tyki would want other than you and poker cards!" She says and we just stand there as I begin to think. The only thing that comes to mine is something with butterflies. We soon begin to walk around again. Nothing was catching my eye that would be something Tyki would like. Road was across the way looking at books when I had gone over to a stand noticing items that were out of the ordinary. One in general caught my eye; it was a butterfly in resign and the tips of the wings were black and it faded into a dark deep purple. I lifted it up and knew immediately it was something to give to Tyki. Smiling I pulled the money I secretly took from my Shishou and paid the stand owner before slipping the item carefully into my jacket pocket buttoning it so it wouldn't fall out.

"So did you find anything?" Road asked once I met back up with her and I nod my head.

"I'll show you when we get back? What did you buy?" I ask and regretted the moment the question left my mouth. She had bought an entire love series and I knew it most likely had suggestive parts in it.

"Well we've been out here for quite a while shall we go find a nice café and grab some lunch?" She asked and nodded letting her lead the way. I kept behind her feeling as if we were being followed but I shook the feeling from my head as the two of us entered this secluded café ordering our food before choosing the table outside to sit out.

"Okay now show me!" She immediately said and I could only sigh unbuttoning my pocket and pulled out the resign antique slipping it into her outstretched hands. The moment she looked at it I saw a warm smile dance across her features and she looked back up at me.

"Tyki is lucky to have you. So we can do more exploring I'm going to send all of our bags back to my room." She explained and I nodded my head watching as all of the things her and I bought vanished knowing it went back to the ark. It was that moment my nightmares came true.

"I'm surprised to see out and about with minimal protection, Mo-Ya-Shi." Kanda said him, Lavi, and Daisya walking out. Road and I jumped to our feet, I had grabbed Road by her arm pulling her to behind me, shielding her. I was glad I chose today to wear long sleeves and gloves, I didn't need the order knowing that my innocence was not working.

"You have one chance boy, give up and come quietly or risk your little Noah friends life and we take you by force." Daisy snapped and I gritted my teeth glaring at them.

"You're going to eat that threat of yours." I hissed tilting my head downward my bangs shielding my eyes. I knew I didn't stand a chance but I needed Road to get away now, for her safety.

"Allen don't please." She begged and I let out a sigh.

"Run, get back to the ark and get help. I'll be fine holding them off. I'm a fast runner." I whispered taking a step forward making the group in front of my believe that I was giving myself up.

"Allen…" Road whimpered and I only gave her a reassuring smile, the second she allowed herself to to float into the air to get away I made a dash for it down an alley way. The three immediately gave chase and I refused to let myself be caught. I cut through alleys and cross busy streets, trying my hardest to outrun my pursuers, but deep down I knew that this time would be the inevitable if the other Noah's don't get here soon.

"ALLEN!" I barely dodge getting side swiped by Lavi's Hammer and Daisya's Charity Bell. I slip through a crack in a boarded up warehouse. Panic was now coursing through me. I tumble to the floor scampering back up to my feet after the boarded up door is blasted in and I come to a dead end wall turning back around to face the three.

"This is your last chance Moyashi!" Kanda smirked beginning to walk forward.

"Why would I ever go back to a place where you'd be?!" I yell clenching my fists.

"Oh yea I haven't told you. After we capture you, you will be stripped of your Exorcist title then you will be put under my watch. Whenever the order needs your abilities you and I will be discharged where you will have to fight your new precious family." Kanda taunted my eyes widening in fear at the sheer thought of being left alone with this man.

"I would rather die than be left alone with a monster like you Kanda." I say my voice shaking from how scared I was.

"Allen…" I hear Lavi's worried voice, I am prepared to be knocked out the moment Kanda unsheathes Mugen.

"Mugen Unsheath, Innocence Activate." He says running his index finger and his middle finger along the black blade and it begins to glow silver. I feel my breathing speeding up and I let out a whimpered cry as I watch him hold the blade sideways a sick smirk on his face. My eyes widen as he crouches down for the attack.

"First Illusion, Netherworld Insects!" He yells and he goes to slash the sword to release the insects.

"STOP IT!" I scream turning sideways and dropping to my knees covering my ears waiting for the attack, but it never came.

"What…just happened?" I hear Daisy ask and I look up to see Kanda begin to repeatedly try and activate his innocence.

"I'll give it a go! Big Hammer, Littler Hammer…Grow, grow, grow!" Lavi shouted and silence once again fills the warehouse as nothing happens, even Daisya tries to activate his innocence but nothing happens. I yelp in surprise when I look down at myself to see that I am glowing the eerie green glow that usually comes from the innocence shards.

"Well this definitely a new advancement in Allens predicament. Did you evolve since you've been gone?" Kanda asks playfully sheathing his sword beginning to walk forward. I am no longer afraid nor am I paying him much attention as I watch the purple Tease fly about in the air above them. Kanda glares at me before ceasing his walk again looking up and behind him spotting the tease.

"Looks like I came at a good time ne, shounen?" I jump to my feet and begin looking around for the owner of the voice. I wrap my arms around myself when a white glowing portal door appeared dark matter blowing past me sending Kanda and the other two flaying back. I couldn't help it when I began to scream stop it over and over again.

"Shhhh everything will be alright shounen." I hear Tyki whisper in my ear arms wrapping loosely behind me as I finally let myself calm down and lean my head back against his chest feeling his hand gently rest around my neck.

"You god-damn curly haired Noah bastard!" Lavi yells and I'm not at all surprised when him and Kanda begin to chase towards. Tyki slips him and I into the white portal like door watching as it closes and the both of us are engulfed in a white light. We float there for quiet sometime.

"Allen?" I look up to Tyki who allows me to turn in his arms.

"I need to speak with my Shishou…My innocence…it's doing something weird." I say and soon I find us in the hallway by Roads room who soon rushes out and latches her arms around me.

"I'm so happy that you're okay." She says and I only hug her back.

"Come I'll take you to the training room, Road could you please go and retrieve Cross Marian?" Tyki says lifting me up into his arms and placing me onto his shoulder before beginning his way towards the training room. When we arrive Jasdevi is already there and they look up to us when we arrive.

"Allen! Have you come to play with us?!" Jasdero asks running over closely followed behind Devit.

"No I came here to test something and the only person I wish to test it on is Cross." I explain, at first they both look upset but soon get over it when I yelp as I am yanked off of Tyki's shoulders and tossed somewhere random in the training room.

"Must you always be so rough with him Cross?" I hear the Earl ask and my Shishou says nothing. Standing to my feet I face cross with a serious look on my face.

"So you want me to attack you?" He asks and I nod my head.

"Like I am your enemy no mercy and I also want you to use Grave of Maria to disorient me and subdue me…in any way possible." I explain my hands were loosely at my sides.

"I don't know why you're asking me but so be it. I will not be held responsible for any damage left on you." He snaps and I find a smirk dancing on my face.

"I wouldn't have it any other way Shishou." I mock and I swear I could see him twitch as he pulls Judgment from its Hollister. It was beginning and drop down into a fighting stance. I can feel the first pulses of adrenaline course through me after dodging the first bullet from my shishous weapon type innocence. This was more than just testing something, I was itching for a serious fight and so far everyone was a bit scared to come at me seriously in fear of hurting. Namely Tyki was the main one to night fight me full throttle.

"Too slow!" I smirk managing to knee my Shishou in the side of the head sending him to the ground skidding as I land on my feet. I yelp in pain when one of his bullets graze my skin and I am once more dodging another onslaught of attacks.

"I believe you have become a cocky since the last time we fought Baka Minarai!" Cross laughed, I darted to behind a pillar. I can't help the yell of pain that coursed through me when one of the bullets went through the pillar and exited out the other side of my stomach.

"ALLEN!" I hear Tyki scream out.

"Stay back baka. I warned him I was not responsible if he got injured." Cross snapped and the familiar sense I usually got when he brought her out appeared. My eyes widened as I watched Cross release Maria. I managed to stand to my feet glaring.

"At this rate you'll kill him!" Tyki yelled he was being held back by Jasdevi which I was glad for. I saw Lord Millennium nod to Cross to continue. I averted my gave back to Cross, I lifted my arm palm held up facing him flat as I began trying to activate my innocence but nothing happened to my arm. I let out another scream when a bullet connects with my shoulder. Maria begins singing and my eyes widen from the pain I had in my head and I noticed the rest of the Noah family vanished as I know they were going to be shielded from the effects she has on those who use dark matter. I let out a pained scream holding my hand out watching Cross fire off the gun once more. I could see each individual bullet.

"No!" I growled out and right before they hit the bullets stopped in midair before falling to the ground. Maria began to sing louder and I dropped to my knees covering my ears screaming in pain.

"STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP IT!" I screamed and I felt a warm feeling course through me as everything had fallen silent. Maria's singing had stopped and I was vaguely aware that I could no longer see her standing behind Cross. I wrap my arms around my own shoulders feeling something almost like fur around me. The green light from in the warehouse was back and it spun around me. I couldn't understand what it was. I saw Cross running towards me screaming that it was over but my brain couldn't register what was said. I couldn't react when white ribbons shot out at him forcing him to jump back and the recoiled back and I was soon engulfed in darkness.

'You're safe now.' I heard a voice inside me say and what felt like arms wrap around me.

'Who are you?' I asked trying to open my eyes but they were so heavy that I couldn't.

'I am the innocence that was once in your arm, I am in true form. I am Crown Clown. But…I am not the only one here inside you. I am not your original innocence.' The voice explained and now I felt like I was being cradled.

'Hevlaska had called you the destroyer of time and you will soon find out what she meant. I am only the true form of the innocence in your arm. When I retreated to deeper within you I allowed myself to combine with your other innocence something you have had since before your mother gave before to you, before I connected with you.' He continued I was going to ask more when I suddenly felt an odd sensation and I let out another scream. Something was happening to my body and I felt like I was growing smaller.


Tyki's POV:

None of us knew what to do as we stood alongside with Cross trying to figure out a way to get close to Allen without those white ribbons shooting out at us and hurting any of us. Cross had explained that this was Crown Clown the true form Allens innocence in his arm. The green glowing barrier around him was the effect of the other innocence with in him finally activating and protecting him. Well this sure explains his arm going normal and the chest pains he had. But it doesn't explain how Allen managed to deactivate now five innocence's. First three were Kanda, Lavi and Daisya's now it was Grave of Maria and Cross's weapon Judgement.

"Road no!" We all turn to see Road walking up to the barrier after Lulu Bell had screamed after her. It made me wonder what that girl was doing. We all watch as she places her hand directly onto the barrier and we jump when she is suddenly forced into her human form the once black stigmata's now gold. I watch her smile sadly as she closes her eyes and places her forehead onto the barrier and whispers something that I seem to be the only one to catch.

I'm sorry to do this but I shall grant you one full day of a happy childhood memory.

I have no clue as to what her words had meant until we are all hearing Allen screaming once more and the glowing barrier in a way explodes sending all of us into our human forms our black stigmata's also gold. A warm feeling runs through me and I feel like smiling. I look over to cross to see Judgment glowing gold before splitting into two.

"Well this changes some things." He says with wide eyes and soon all of us look back to see Road knelt on the ground cradling something in her arms. Fear etched through me and I bolt forward followed by everyone else. I let out gasp and am followed by everyone as well. In Roads' arms sleeping ever so soundly was Allen, but he was tiny. Now I understood what her words meant, for an entire day Allen would be a child, she wanted to give him one day as kid again and give him one happy memory. Something he never truly got growing up. Things were definitely becoming weird.
