Hey Everyone….I'M AM EXORCIST…..just being me…got my badge for my Allen costume for Youma con the other day so I'm all excited and stuff!
Disclaimer: I don't own DGM or I would not work at Mc-evils…
Edit: sorry it took so long I know I said I would have this up like forever ago…DON'T KILL ME!
It had been several hours since Allen had arrived at the asylum but he hadn't really discovered much. Kanda had taken a full hour to trust him enough to draw without looking up every five seconds. Once he had relaxed however Kanda's face had become serene and Allen had no doubt about the other's innocence. Allen had no illusion about this being easy or about things going well at all but he was determined to help Kanda and he knew someone who could do just that. Allen jumped when the door opened next to him revealing Lenalee.
Blinking she tilted her head and addressed Allen in a confused tone, "Allen-kun…what are you still doing here? The others went home on the bus hours ago!"
There was absolute silence for a moment before, "WHAT!...Oh no how am I going to get home then…sigh….guess I'll be walking…" Allen sat there staring glumly at the floor while the other two just looked at him. Then Lenalee perked up.
"Don't worry Allen, Ni-san can take you home! But it will be another hour until we leave is that okay?" Smiling she got ready to leave and tell her brother that they had an extra passenger as well as stop tonight.
"Oh no Miss Lenalee I couldn't cause you so much trouble especially since I've only just met you today! Besides it isn't that long of a walk to my home…"
"Nonsense I looked at your file Allen you live an hour away from here by car walking or even running the whole way would still take you at least 3 hours and then you wouldn't get any sleep and there's also all the dangers to worry about!" Allen looked like he was still going to protest so she continued quickly, "Besides it would make me feel much better knowing you got home safely….I would just worry myself sick if I were to just let you go home by yourself!"
It was obvious she had won with that one, Kanda would have smirked but he had yet to truly understand and trust the kid. He said that he was going to help him but could he really trust this scrawny child? His thoughts were interrupted when Allen turned to him.
"Good-bye Kanda-san it was really nice meeting you I hope we can be close someday. I promise to do all that I can to help you!" With a polite bow and a little wave he left the room with Lenalee leaving Kanda to think about his new monitor.
As they walked down the hall Allen took notice of how Lenalee was looking him over. She appeared to be looking for something, though what Allen had no clue.
"Miss Lenalee…is there something wrong?"
Lenalee waved her arms about, "Ah no, no nothing is wrong!...I'm just surprised is all." calming she stared ahead and Allen waited for her to continue. "It's just, you're the first person he hasn't hurt in a long time. I was actually very worried leaving you there by yourself. Ni-san told me that it would be fine but I still worried. One more incident and Kanda will be moved to the R.E.D. wing with no chance to ever be let out." here she paused and a sad smile lit her face, " Actually it's only because of Ni-san that he hasn't been placed there already."
Allen watched her noting how she saddened at the end. She cared for Kanda enough to not want him to be trapped here. He wondered if she thought he murdered his parents or not. "Miss Lenalee, do you mind if I ask you a question?" she motioned for him to go ahead. "Do you think Kanda-san, killed his parents?"
"NO! There is no way Kanda would ever do that!" Lenalee was defiantly on team Kanda, "Kanda has been like another older brother to me since we were little there is no way he would murder someone. He didn't even think of those people as his parents!"
She was panting from her little rant and Allen had taken a half step back without realizing it. "Eh sorry to upset you Miss Lenalee I believe him too when he told me he didn't do it I know he meant it!" Allen hoped this would calm down and placate the aggravated girl.
"O h my, I'm sorry if I startled you Allen-chan and please just call me Lenalee." Nodding and deciding for now to not question the chan thing Allen and Lenalee headed to her Brother's office to wait for him to be done so that they could go home.
Kanda looked up as the door to his room opened; Lenalee stepped in smiling and holding a tray with tea and soba on it. "Good morning Kanda! How was your day with Allen-chan yesterday I never did get the chance to ask you? Ah but since it started so late in the week Allen-chan won't be back until Monday."
"che." was her answer he didn't feel like talking. And besides he wasn't sure what to think of the kid. He had said he believed him but before that day they had never met, the kid didn't know anything about him and yet he seemed willing to take his side right away. It was strange to say the least.
"Ah Ni-san and I dropped Allen off last night and I am really glad we did it was a lot further than I thought to his house. I t was actually very interesting; we got to meet his guardian Marian Cross. I don't know what to think of him though he was rather rude to Allen and he smelled horribly of cigarette smoke and alcohol. Ni-san knows him though and he said that Cross isn't really a bad guy he just doesn't like people to know that he cares for others."
Kanda took all this in and added it to his very small list of what he knew about the Moyashi. What Lenalee said next though added even more to the small list and gave him a lot more to think about. Blinking he decided to ask a question of the Chinese girl. "Oi….why do you keep calling him chan?"
Lenalee blinked a few times before smiling and answering the other, "Well when Lavi-kun saw him earlier this morning he thought Allen was a girl and when I explained thing s he decided that Allen-chan was too cute and he needed to have chan instead of kun or something else."
There was a lengthy pause in which Kanda stared blankly at the girl and Lenalee continued to smile. Honestly it didn't surprise him that the damn baka usagi had decided something so stupid.
"It really is amazing though that Allen-chan can smile like that still after all that he's been through." Lenalee was suddenly very sad and serious, " Ni-san let me read his file, all interns have to have a background check as you know, Allen-chan has had a very traumatic life. His biological parents abandoned him on the streets for an unknown reason when he was only two years old ; and for four and a half years that is where he stayed. Unless Allen-chan tells us no one truly knows what happened to him during that time. When he was about four and a half a traveling circus performer Mana Walker found him and adopted him but Mana was killed just three years later when someone tried to rob their house. Since then, Allen has been living with Cross and traveling the world." she paused bringing a finger to her lips in thought, " Actually Ni-san said it was only about a year ago that Cross decided to settle down here and become a teacher. *sigh* I wonder though, if Allen-chan is really happy, or if he's only smiling like that so that no one will get close enough to hurt him again?"
Lenalee left him then seeing that he was deep in thought and her presence was no longer being paid attention to. She hoped that by telling Kanda all that, that he and Allen could become closer and help each other to heal.
…ring…ring…ring…ring..*click* "Hello?"
"Hello Ni-san?"
"Hai!"
"I have a favor to ask."
"What is it Allen-chan?"
"There is someone I would like you to help. He's been accused of something he didn't do. I know he didn't do it so please won't you help him?"
"…I'll see what I can do, but I won't make any promises until I know all the facts shounen…"
"Arigatou!"
So what do you think? I know it's late by what I promised but I really can't write very well when I am not in the mood and forcing it contrary to many people I knows beliefs does not help it makes it worse!
Lavi: waaaah why haven't I been in the story yet!
You'll be in there soon actually in the omake I am writing for after this chapter
Lavi; eh really!
Yup!
Review and let me know how I'm doing k…no flames…or well go ahead but I will only use them to fuel the jetpacks of my flamethrower-wielding squirrels who will come and find you…...
