The Moon's Wish for Love
Wish Four
Allen turned on his bed, whispering a name that struck his heart like a knife.
"Kanda…"
-*-*-*-
Kanda Yu was not the type to stargaze.
Looking for Allen, now, he found he had a calm feeling when he looked into the sky.
Namely the reason, the moon reminded him of Allen.
He didn't god forsaken know why.
He remembered what happened when he left, searching for Allen.
Komui got up, a worried expression on his face.
"Allen's gone, Kanda. You won't find him unless he lets you." He said sadly, as Kanda glared daggers at the man.
"I choose not to believe that." Kanda snapped, abruptly leaving.
He stalked out onto the wet dewy grass, and he continued to walk. Strangely the moon was full.
He continued to walk, and he looked up at the sky.
He stared at the moon for a while, and whispered, "Allen…"
Then he let his eyes drop and he continued to walk.
"God I'm such an idiot." He muttered to himself, sitting on the train.
Komui had wished him luck, and given him a wad of bills, and told him to use it wisely.
Heh, as if he needed to.
-*-*-*-
Allen's body began to deteriorate.
He began to become transparent, and he shook his head, a bit annoyed.
This happened every month; slowly it began to consume his body.
And then, every month his body would become opaque again. How annoying.
But this time, he began to get weak, too.
He couldn't run like he used to, the road he often ran on in the Above was swirling underneath him, making him dizzy.
Every time he took a breath, his lungs would hurt.
Allen began to run, once again, but his chest ached.
Is this the feeling of a broken heart? He asked himself, as another sharp intake of breath made him see stars.
The world was spinning out of control, and to his mind's eye, the swirls began to get closer… and closer… and closer…
"Allen!" a voice cried, as Allen's body hit the starry-road.
A woman with black hair in pigtails ran up behind Allen, and she gingerly picked him up, and surprisingly, she carried Allen the rest of the way, across the night sky, past the many 'stars' beneath them.
-*-*-*-
Warm. That was all he could feel. Warmth, and nothing else.
"You okay, Allen?" A girl asked, and his eyes opened.
He sat up, a breath of air singed his lungs once again. "Ugh…" he said, coughing.
"Here." She offered a metal basin for Allen.
The boy took it with a thanks, and he began to vomit, blood and all, into the basin.
"I feel so sick…" He whispered, hurling once again into the basin.
"It's alright, Allen." The girl soothed him, rubbing his back a little.
"I feel so sick…" He continued on, "What's wrong with me?" He whispered.
"Maybe you do love him." The girl said, thinking. "You love him too much that you're being ripped into two… One part wants to stay here, to fulfill your duty. The other is that you want to abandon you duty to go back to him."
Allen started crying, clutching his chest. "It hurts so much, damn it. I feel like there's ice in my heart. Linali, what's wrong… now…" His head lolled to the side, and he fell back down onto the mattress.
The girl – Linali – got up, and shook her head sadly. "Perhaps I should go see Nii-San…"
-*-*-*-
Komui looked up from his work as he heard a loud rap.
"Yes, come on in." he said, putting on a straight face. He was expecting a special visitor.
The mask dropped when his sister waltzed in, smiling. She held out her arms in a waiting hug, saying, "Nii-San…"
Komui dashed on over to his sister, and hugged her.
"How goes on in the Above?" He asked, furrowing his brows.
Linali shook her head sadly. "It isn't going well. Allen's body is reacting really… badly. He's breaking in two, Nii-san." She started crying, but never let out a sound. "He even collapsed. He collapsed! Right in the middle of the Starfield! I had to bring him back!" She said, desperate. "I don't know what's wrong? Did Kanda really affect him that much?"
Komui shook his head, at a lost for words. "I guess so."
"What should we do, Nii-san? At this rate, Allen will kill himself!" Linali was hysterical.
River came in.
"Oh, Komui, so this is your sister?" He asked, nodding to the girl. Komui nodded a yes, and motioned with his head for River to leave.
River nodded, slipping out of the door.
"…I guess we should talk to the Elders…" Komui murmured his voice full of sorrow. It pained him more then being separated from his sister than seeing her hurt.
"…I'll schedule a conference…Just them, me, and Allen, correct?" She asked, confirming it.
Komui nodded, a tear falling down his cheek.
"I guess I should leave. Allen will be awake." Linali whispered, stepping back away from Komui.
She drew a long line in front of her, and she overlapped it with a five-pointed star.
It filled the room with a bright light, and Linali turned once again to Komui.
"See you later, Nii-san." She said, and stepped through the portal.
When River popped his head back into the room, he saw Komui, alone, tears falling freely down his cheeks.
-*-*-*-
"Allen, the Elders want to talk to you." Linali stepped in, spying the boy lying on the bed, looking out the window.
"…Why?" The boy's voice was a bit subdued, Linali's brow furrowed with worry.
"I talked to Nii-San earlier." She said, surprised as Allen shot up, interested. "Did he say anything about Kanda? How is he? Can I see him again? Please?"
Linali gulped. "Kanda… went off to look for you… Nii-San says he hasn't heard from Kanda since last week."
Allen settled back onto the bed. "Oh… okay…" He sniffed, sad.
Linali tugged on Allen's arm again. "Let's go. The Elders are waiting."
"…I'd… love to… but… I can't walk…" He smiled with worry.
Linali gulped, and she looked around. "Be right back." She said, disappearing out the door.
She came back a few minutes later, a wheelchair in front of her.
"Get in." She said, and five minutes later she was wheeling him down the smooth hallway.
The wall was purple, with large windows spanning from the twenty-foot-high ceiling down to the purple-tiled floor. There were purple-gauzy shades across the window, and a starry-backdrop was the only thing visible through the window.
"The Elders?" Allen asked, his voice echoing hollowly.
The door Linali wheeled him to was decorated with mahogany gold, and she pushed the door open, and entered it with Allen.
"Welcome." Fourteen voices boomed out at them. Linali and Allen met their gazes coolly, before Allen coughed a little.
"What," One said,
"Brings," a second,
"You," the Third asked,
"Here?" The fourth one finished.
"We request a conference with the Fourteen Elders. We wish to speak of Allen's condition and ask of that mortal, Kanda Yu – to come here. Allen's body is deteriorating and it will not be long before Allen completely dies. I trust you will not want that to happen?" Linali challenged, as the Fourteen murmured again.
"Very,"
"Well,"
"The,"
"Mortal,"
"Kanda,"
"Yu,"
"Shall,"
"Come,"
"Here,"
"Until,"
"Further,"
"Notice." The twelfth figure said, and the Fourteen nodded in unison.
"We accept this change. He will be sent for immediately." The said, as the first one – the one with the most power, said, "Allen Walker, We all hope you will get well."
Allen nodded, smiling a little. "Thank you… Mana…" before Linali wheeled him out of the hall.
She was smiling, "That went well, right, Allen?" She asked the boy.
Allen's face was happy. "Yeah. Kanda's coming… What should I do? I still have to go through the Starfield…" he was quiet.
"The Elders also said, due to your state, you cannot continue. The Mortal Realm will just be moonless for a couple more nights." Linali said, shrugging.
"Alright." Allen said, and he reclined in the wheelchair, falling asleep.
-*-*-*-
Drifting. That's what Kanda felt. He woke up to a soft bed, and he cried out in shock as the blanket he was using just disappeared.
"Hello!" A girl with greenish-blackish pigtails walked in. She carried a tray of food. "I hope this is good for you. We don't usually eat. Unless you're him, but Eeh…" She set the tray in front of Kanda.
"Who are you?" Kanda demanded, as the girl brought a hand to her mouth. She feigned horror. "You don't know? Oh my gosh, I thought my brother told me about you. I guess he forgot. He has such a horrible tendency to forget."
"What?" Kanda asked, as he looked at the girl's face.
"Linali!!" a very familiar voice exclaimed. "I need help!!"
"I'm coming, Allen! Wait a sec!" 'Linali' yelled back.
Kanda heard a muffled thump, and Linali exclaimed something, and she ran out of the room, leaving Kanda alone with his breakfast.
He ate in quiet silence, and he was shocked at how his breakfast tasted. Normally he would've gone with a bowl of soba with some bean sprouts on the side, but this tasted just as good.
A figure walked into the room, as Kanda looked up.
"Who…" he began once again, but the man cut him off. Why was everyone cutting him off lately?
"I realize that Allen loves you." The man said, "And I will comply his wish – but, I require three things from you."
Kanda opened his mouth to protest, but the man once again beat him.
"I require the tears of the shadows, the soul of an undead, and the song of sorrow. Only then will you earn a place in the Above. You have until the year ends. I suggest you get moving soon – they are harder than your other tasks upon Earth." He smiled softly at Kanda, "I'm just happy my foster son has found happiness with you." And he disappeared.
"Kanda!" Allen's bright face appeared, but he clutched Linali for support. "I'm so happy that you're here! The Elders said that you could come up here. I hope you're fine." He said, as Kanda stared at him in amazement.
"Where… did you go?" He asked, as Allen's face fell. He looked at Linali for help. She just shook her head, giggling.
"Um, you may not believe me, but I'm the moon." Allen said quietly, looking at Kanda's face for disbelief. He found none, so he continued. "You see, there was this monster chasing me in the other realm. It's practically between Earth and the Above. We – immortals – have a special word in which we use. It's infested in our magic, our soul. I screamed out my word when the monsters advanced on me.
"It's supposed to keep you out of harm's way, but instead of appearing in the Above, I landed on Earth. In front of the Black Order, in fact.
"I had heard of the Black Order, how they exorcist the demons that live in the other realm, those who are fortunate to escape. Then, I met you." Allen looked in Kanda's eyes. "Of course, Immortals aren't supposed to fall in love with a human. But, I think there's an exception with you. Am I not correct?" he asked, as Kanda nodded, unable to speak.
"Anyway, I couldn't really communicate with you, since the language of the gods is practically music notes. I think Linali slipped a nut into your food and you ate it without noticing." At this Linali blushed, "Anyway, you can understand us now, and speak in our language." Allen looked at Linali, who stepped up. "You've already met my brother in Earth, and of course, you've met our childhood friend already."
"Who?" Kanda asked. He was getting annoyed at the fuss about people and such.
"My brother is Komui Li." Linali said, enjoying the shock on Kanda's face. "Lavi is our childhood friend. He's the apprentice of the Book Lord. He journeyed to Earth to complete his training with the Clan of Bookmen."
"Stupid idiot rabbit never told me?" Kanda snapped, annoyed.
"Of course, Lavi could've forgotten about us. It has been a couple of five hundred years since we saw him." Linali said thoughtfully.
"What?" Kanda exclaimed, "How old are you."
"As old as time itself." Allen and Linali chorused. "We can choose the form we're most comfortable with, and stay that form for as long as we want. I like looking young 'cause I just like it. My hair's naturally white from running across the Starfield."
"Starfield?" Kanda asked, "What the crap is that?"
"The night sky, BaKanda." Allen snapped back, and he started to sit with Kanda on the bed. Kanda scooted over to let Allen sit.
"Uwaa, I'm so tired." Allen wailed, drooping over his knees in a defeated position. "I hate this." He said, getting up and walking into the closed doors on the sides of the room.
Moments later he reappeared wearing shorts and a tee. "Much better." He said quietly, sitting back down on the bed.
"So, Kanda, where're you sleeping?" Allen murmured.
"I think it's next door. This is your room, correct?" Kanda asked, as Allen blushed, nodding.
"I think I'm going to like it here." Kanda said quietly, but in his mind he was thinking, Where will I find the things that man asked me to find?
Whee, long chapter, update, and Kanda gets reunited with Allen! What else do you want? -Smile-
R-E-V-I-E-W-S, what does that spell?
...Yeah you get the point... Yeah...
