Flower petals slowly started to fall down to the ground...falling down from a tree high in the sky..the petals slowly hitting the ground. No sound other than the wind was present until a soft 'tamp' 'tamp' 'tamp' could be heard on the snowy ground. A long haired boy walked in the snow, walking down to the tree. He was silent, but was softly making a few noises of pain as blood lightly trickled onto the pure white snow. The young boy climbed up onto a bench under the tree and sat down, looking out across the pure white snow that was trickled with his own blood. "...Why?" He whispered so softly it was taken away by the wind...

Allen's eyes snapped open, his eyes wide and his cursed eye 'pulsing'. He sat up and put his hand over his heart. He had no idea what he had just seen at all, nor why it was bothering him so much. He sighed then and blinked, looking around, wondering where he was. He shook his head and slowly stood up, getting out of the bed he was in and walking out of the room, hearing talking down the hallway. He glanced in the left direction and then decided it was to the right. He started heading that way silently. He walked up to a door and lightly pushed it open, seeing a few people talking while one was bandaging the other.

"I was just saying-ow-Musica...that I don't think we can find Let...Julia can't sent him..and well...it's just a little to risky to stay here any longer...Lucia knows we are here and well-ow- we have no choice but to move on. Let will still find us Musica."

"I know, I know Haru...but we can't leave...the ship has taken heavy damage and I can't say that I can get it up-..." He stopped and looked to the door that Allen had opened. He sighed. "What is it about injured people that make them get up and out of bed?" He shook his head and stood up. "Allen, you should be resting you know. You took a lot of heavy damage from the attack earlier..." He said softly and frowned somewhat at the younger one. Allen shook his head.

"Can't sleep anyways..." He said hoarsely and sat down on a chair and sighed. "Stupid dreams...that's all...I rather not see that dream again though..." He pulled his legs to him and sighed softly. Dreams that I don't even know...He thought and closed his eyes.

"Allen..." He heard Haru say and he glanced up, noticing the worry in the other ones eyes. "Listen, even if you don't want them just...dream and they will leave you're mind you know..." He said slowly and Allen shook his head.

"I don't know about that, I've had the same dream for years...because it still haunts me...with every passing day..." He shook his head. "...It doesn't matter...I'm used to the dr-" He was stopped when the other two both touched his shoulders.

"Relax Allen, you don't have to be worried here you know...we're all here for you." Haru said with a smile. "We all have hard pasts Allen, but we work together to get through all of the pain and problems! We're...friends Allen, and you just have to think that you are not alone!"

And how do I know that? People have left me before even when I thought that they cared about me. Allen sighed and could only nod somewhat before he heard something. He felt Timcampy adjust on his head as he moved around somewhat. "Tim, something wrong?" He asked the other and the small little golem moved around somewhat again. Allen blinked and sighed, then knowing. "I'm fine Tim...don't worry." He said to the golem softly and gave a small resourcing smile and then closed his eyes again. Yet he himself was not to sure about whether or not he was really alright.

The golem seemed to give up on asking and settled down in Allen's hair, not moving again. Haru frowned softly and looked to Musica who was also frowning about this. Allen just shook his head a little and looked up at the ceiling of the aircraft. He could hear people moving about now, but he was lost in thought...

"Allen...why...why do you always try and do things on you're own?"

"Myoshi, you're an idiot! Stop running off!"

"I'm not short BaKanda! And I'm not an idiot!"

"Allen-chan...please...don't look so sad..."

"Allen...Allen-kun...why?"

Allen closed his eyes as they're voices ran through his head, and his own in bits and places. He opened his eyes as the door opened again and he spotted Elie. She was looking worried as she walked over. "Guys...Julia is really upset...we NEED to find Let!" She said. "I'm really worried about her..." She clenched her fists.

Allen swallowed softly, and was really worried about as to if the Earl would come to Julia to relieve her suffering...and he knew that it would only end badly. He stood up softly and he noticed the others look at him. He looked at Elie. "I'll go look, you need to keep an eye on Julia...I don't want the Earl showing up."

Elie blinked but nodded. "Oh wait...are you sure you're alright to-"

"Don't worry about me..." Allen replied, grabbing his jacket and walking outside. "I dun die easily..." He siad, closing the door and going to look for Let. He jumped off of the ship and began to search around...

Allen soon found the dragon race in an underground cave, the other was laying and looking at a wall. "These ruins are from my people." The dragon said and Allen stopped walking. He was silent as the other spoke. "They speak about something that I think you may find...intresting at least to say...it tells of a tale of a Man that took a very precious power sorce and hid it away so that something dipicked as 'ME' would not find it..." The dragon said slowly. "I don't know what this could mean to you, but I thought I should tell you...how is it that I don't know my own history? Why was this hidden from Julia and I?"

"Maybe, it was out of fear..." Allen whispered as he walked up and lightly touched the crasvings and letters. "Fear for what would happen if someone found about...something like this...must have been hard to hide to begin with you know..."

"Yes, yes I know...but..." Let sighed and touched it again. "I...I just want to know about it...and why do I feel as if it pulls me in?" He shook his head.

"...the heart of innocence...all clues start here don't they?" Allen murmured softly.

"?What are you talking about?" Let asked and Allen sighed and looked over at him.

"You see, the heart of innocence...is what keeps all of us exorcists from dying or anything...because well, if it is gone. The entire human race is in danger..." Allen replied and rubbed the back of his head. Let shrugged softly and heaved a heavy sigh. He blinked for a second then shook his head.

"Allen. I scent people...I don't like they're scents either..." He growled violently and got up, despite some pain he was still in. Allen narrowed his eyes, but it soon changed as his left eye noticed that it was akuma...He cursed and shook his head then.

"Stay back, these aren't people. These are akuma." Allen warned, but as he was speaking he heard some slicing noises. He blinked, then helping Let up and they walked from the cave. Allen and Let both saw the blood on the ground and the dead bodies of akuma littered around. A figure stood, sword shinging in the moonlight. "...Kan...da?" Allen's voice was soft, he was not really sure what he was seeing...and if this was Kanda...oh god. Allen would surly be dead...agh. The other didn't like him as much as it was already, and knowing he had screwed up and joined other people...agh. When he talked to him last the other wans't thrilled either...wait...then where was Lavi? Maybe...Kanda came alone...? Gah. Then that screwed Allen over even more.

"..." The figure turned, his eyes locked on the two. Let growled softly, showing a warning sign to not try anything rash. However the person ignored him in total and grabbed Allen's collar, pulling him up. "Where...the hell have you been?" He hissed at the younger one who swallowed.

"Eheh...K-kanda..." Allen stammered. "I-I thought K-Komui-san t-told ya!" He stammered, and bit his lip softly. The other growled still and let go of him.

"Yeah. He just sent us here and expected us to find ya! Hell I lost sight of the Rabbit about 3 hours ago!" Kanda snapped and Allen sweat-dropped.

"...well...that means we have to find him..." Allen said softly and Kanda looked at him, showing he didn't give a care. Allen sighed, knowing they really should just head back. He had about forgotten Let was leaning on him...which was kind of hard since the other towered over him...Kanda noticed and rolled his eyes. He instead took up helping Let stand, and Allen weakly smiled to show thanks and ducked out. He took a deep breath. "Well...let's head back to the others...Kanda do not threaten anyone please!" He snapped and the other simply shrugged. Allen sighed, this was going to take a long time to get used to...agh...and he had many things to worry about as well. Enemies...friends...who really trusted him...? He wasn't to sure really...and he had to figure out something before something happened. Something bad...and that something was going to happen soon. He knew it...but what and when?
