Three of the Noah came to retrieve them from their dingy little room, and Kanda and Allen made their move as soon as the door was opened. Kanda took on two, while Allen took on one. They would not allow Timothy to fight, even when he had insisted; they would not put him into any more danger than he was already in. Although he looked pretty scrawny, Allen was fast and could fight pretty effectively. Kanda had no problem either. It only took about five minutes to knock out all three Noah, and then they were on their way.

Allen was the only one who knew the way out, as the other two had been unconscious when brought down there, so he led the way out. They were surprised when they were met with no more resistance. Where were the rest of the Noah clan? They had gotten to the front door and started to open it, when the alarms sounded.

"Shit," Kanda hissed. He swung the door open the rest of the way and they saw that it was still dark outside. The raven haired man picked up Timothy, grabbed Allen's arm, and made a run for it. He didn't make it far before a Noah—Joido—grabbed Allen's other arm and pulled as hard as he could. Allen cried out as they all heard a snapping noise coming from his wrist. Kanda let go of Allen's other arm in surprise and Joido pulled him away from Kanda and closer to the mansion.

"Come back here, or watch him die—painfully," said Joido threateningly.

"Yu, go," Allen pleaded with him, tears in his eyes. "Take Timothy and go."

"No," replied Kanda. "I'm not going to leave you."

"Please," Allen begged.

"Oh, enough," sighed Joido. "Get over here, now." Kanda came forward without a hint of hesitation. "Good, now come along." Joido, knowing Kanda would do nothing to bring harm to Allen, turned away and dragged Allen back to the house. Kanda and Timothy followed them silently.

The other Noah were standing back a few paces from Joido, so when the panic started, it was easier to rescue Allen. Apparently Lavi had noticed that Allen had been acting strange and had watched as he left. Because of this he had noticed as Allen got into the car with the stranger that looked suspiciously like a Noah. He had called the police and when he told them who Allen was married to, they had found it suspicious that his husband and the child staying with them had disappeared just that morning. It had taken them a while to pick up the trail, but eventually they had arrived at the Noah mansion. They had seen the scene that took place outside the mansion and followed once the door was shut.

Once the police burst in through the door, Kanda took advantage of the confusion and grabbed a decorative katana from the wall, still protecting Timothy from harm. He unsheathed it, pleased to note that it was sharpened, and pointed it at Joido's chest.

"Let go of Allen, or I will run you through," said Kanda in a vicious voice.

Joido smirked while letting go of Allen. Just as Kanda turned to see it Allen was alright, Joido lunged for the white haired boy with the knife in his hand. Kanda stabbed Joido in the heart with the katana before he could harm Allen. He let go of the sword and turned to Allen again.

"Are you alright?" he asked his husband.

"Yes," he answered with wide eyes. "Are you?"

"Yes," he replied. "What about you, Timothy?"

"Y-yes."

Soon the police had the rest of the Noah rounded up or dead, and Allen was taken in an ambulance to get his arm set and in a cast. Kanda was taken to the station to be questioned about the death of Joido, but only as a routine. The police knew he had killed the Noah in self-defense, so he would not be prosecuted.

Timothy, having remembered what had happened to his parents and remembering that he had no living relatives, told the police all he knew. He would be placed in foster care until someone adopted him, but he would be staying with Kanda and Allen until everything was taken care of with the foster system. Kanda and Allen were going to adopt him before he even had to set foot in a foster care house, however.

As soon as Allen was released from the hospital, he and Kanda had everything taken care of, and Timothy was set to live with them for good.

And then came the time when Kanda had to thank Lavi for saving them…He was not looking forward to that. Allen had already thanked the orange haired man profusely, and now it was his turn.

He took Allen and Timothy to the Black Order Café one day, and he headed to the back room where he knew Lavi would be.

"Lavi," he called.

"Yes~!" Lavi called back in a singsong voice.

Kanda cleared his throat before continuing. "I just wanted to thank you for calling the police and saving Allen, Timothy, and me."

Lavi gave him a wide-eyes stare before his face broke into a grin. "Allen made you thank me, didn't he?"

Kanda sighed. "Yeah."

"I knew it!" Lavi laughed. "You're welcome, Yu~!"

"Don't call me that!" Kanda snarled at the orange haired 'idiot'.

"Why not?" asked Allen, having just entered the room. "You don't seem to care when I call you that."

Lavi looked from Allen to Kanda and back again. "What?" he asked with a blank stare.

"That's different," answered Kanda.

"If you say so," Allen replied as he left the room again.

"Anyway, Lavi, thank you. I don't think I could have lived if Allen had died."

"You really do love him, don't you?" Lavi asked him seriously.

"Yes. I do," replied Kanda, just as seriously.

"Good. He deserves someone that will take care of him and love him." With that Lavi left the room to get to work. Kanda stood there for a few seconds longer before turning to leave.

"Bye, Allen," Kanda said. "I'll see you when I pick you and Timothy up later."

"Bye, Yu," said Allen as he stood on his tiptoes to peck Kanda on the cheek.

"I love you, Allen," said Kanda quietly.

Allen, slightly shocked for a moment, said nothing. "I love you too, Yu." They smiled at each other before Kanda left to go to work.

Life was good. Allen had been having nightmares about the Noah killing his father when he was younger, but it was nothing he couldn't handle, and he knew he would overcome it eventually. So, everything was great…Well, not everything. Kanda still had one more thing to do before he could be completely satisfied with his life.
