Both exorcists left the cafeteria. Kanda would not stop glaring at the whitenette that was going to be his partner. "Is something wrong? You keep glaring at me." Allen pouted and faced the long-haired male.
"Tsk, why was I stuck with the new kid?" Kanda scoffed
"It wasn't my choice." Allen rolled his eyes and continued walking. Kanda just darkened his glare and said no more. Once at the chief's office, Komui gladly explained the mission specs to the two exorcists. "So you'll be heading down to Italy. We have reason to believe that innocence has been discovered there." Komui clarified.
"Got it. We'll be back soon." Allen smiled.
"Off you go then." Komui chirped. Kanda rolled his eyes and walked off. Allen quickly followed, though he suddenly felt his stomach drop, 'Ugh, it's getting late.' Before the assigned partners left the Order, they located their finger, Toma, and then went to go catch a train. "Whoa! Are we supposed to jump down to the train?" Allen asked, watching the train roll by from under the bridge he, Kanda, and Toma stood.
"What scared?" Kanda sighed and jumped, and Toma followed in suit. The whitenette blinked and then followed the other two. They all then got into the train from a hatch on the ceiling. "Hey! What do you think you're doing?" A train employee freaked as the three dropped down from the ceiling.
"Hmph." Kanda glared at the frightened man.
"We're from the Black Order, you have a car for us." Toma interrupted.
"Oh, the white cross r-right this way." The employee stuttered and began to show the three the way. Once all nicely seated, Kanda and Allen were going through their paperwork. "It seems we'll reach our destination by nightfall." Toma broke the silence.
"N-Nightfall?" Allen pouted.
"Yes. Why? Scared of the dark, moyashi?" Kanda asked.
"I am not! And what the heck is a moyashi? The name is Allen." The whitenette growled and flipped up his coat hood.
"Tsk. I'll remember that if you last a month." Kanda turned to gaze out the window.
"Besides… It's a long story." Allen yawned and decided to take a nap. The sound of the train coming to a halt woke up Allen. "Get up moyashi." Kanda demanded.
"It's Allen." The whitenette growled as he stood up. The long-haired man shook his head and left. Allen sighed and adjusted his hood and back end of his coat before he followed Kanda and Toma off the train. Pretty soon the thick smell of fresh blood and akuma overpowered Allen's sense of smell. He softly gaged and then began to follow the scent. "Seems like he knows where he's going." Toma mumbled as he followed the young exorcist. Kanda noticed the change in direction and then followed. Within moments the trio came across a hoard of level one akuma and dead bodies. Suddenly, in the midst of the situation one of the akuma evolved. "I'm going to puke." Allen turned his head and pinched his nose. Kanda noticed the change in the whitenette's left eye, and he raised a brow. However, hearing the new level two speak caught the exorcist's attention. "Heehee, innocence, innocence." It laughed. Allen began to growl deeply, itching to maul that akuma. He couldn't resist what his instincts were screaming at him, so Allen invoked his innocence and jumped down to attack. "Damn it! Get back here!" Kanda cursed as their cover was blown by the moyashi's rash act. Kanda shook his head and then unsheathed his katana to attack the akuma in his way. When the samurai finished off the small fry, he looked around for the moyashi. Neither he nor the level two were anywhere in sight. "Idiot." Kanda muttered under his breath. Meanwhile, Allen was being beaten by the level two. He wasn't expecting it to have all kinds of new powers, and it kept catching him off guard. Soon enough the whitenette fell through the old floor into some catacombs, while the akuma fled. "Darn it! Now I'm lost and Tim's gone. Grrr!" Allen growled. Then a familiar scent of lotus flowers filled Allen's nose. "That smell…" The whitenette quickly followed the scent. When he located Kanda, the level two was disguised as Toma and the real Toma was in the akuma skin the level two made to look like Allen. The samurai was going to attack Toma and not understand that it wasn't the akuma. "Stop!" Allen invoked his claw and took the blow of Kanda's sword.
"Moyashi! Why are you protecting the akuma?" Kanda growled.
"T-This isn't the akuma, the T-Toma behind you is!" Allen warned and whimpered, cradling his arm. With that the akuma chuckled and attacked Kanda, slamming him through the walls. "K-Kanda!" Allen yelped, and the level two escaped once again.
