It's been three days since Allen and his teammates have been in China. Though at the moment, Allen, Lavi, Bookman, and Krory were all waiting for Lenalee. You see, Timcanpy got taken by a cat that ran off, again. So the guts were all waiting till Lenalee retrieved the golden golem and returned. "Allen." Lavi spoke up.
"Yes Lavi?" The whitenette asked.
"Are you alright? Ever since your eye healed, you've been attacking hidden akuma left and right, straight out of the blue. I think you're wearing out your arm." Lavi pointed out. Allen pouted and pulled his left coat sleeve down as far as he could. Just then, Lenalee came back, cat in hand. "Good news, the cat hasn't swallowed him whole yet." She stated. With that, the frightened feline spat out Timcanpy, and ran off. When the golden golem shook himself off, he proudly landed on his master's head. "You need to be more careful Tim." Allen sighed as he patted his pet. Then Lenalee saw Allen's left hand tremble, so she grabbed it. "Allen! You're working your arm too hard!" She yelled as she pushed the whitenette's sleeve up, reveling the boy's innocence arm crumbling into pieces in certain areas.
"Gaaah! Allen she's right, this is bad." Lavi gasped.
"I'm sorry." Allen reclaimed his hand from Lenalee and pouted. After the whole situation bubbled down, the team went back to their search for General Cross. Everyone cheered as some guy claims to have Cross, and it was only a few days ago. The kind man's information brought the team to a place, where a woman called the Mistress of the Brothel was. According to the man, Cross had become the woman's lover quite recently. "This all sounds like my master." Allen sighed. Just then, a person came out, quite pissed. "No first-time costumers or children allowed." The person cracked their knuckles, and pulled Allen up by the collar. Then the person whispered to Allen, "Please go around back. Don't worry; we're supporters of the Black Order." So the team went to the back and was shown the way to the mistress's chambers. "Welcome, I am Anita. And I'm sorry to disappoint you but Cross left here eight days ago." The mistress stated.
"What?" Everyone yelled in disappointment. Then some arrangements were made, tomorrow morning, everyone would sail to Japan. That morning, Allen sat upon the crow's nest on the main mast and stared out to the ocean. 'Japan…Akuma central and Kanda's native homeland." The whitenette softly sighed. Just then Allen's eye activated and a large sent of akuma filled Allen's surroundings. In minutes the huge hoard of akuma began to fly right over the ship. The weird thing was they were all running away in fear. Suddenly one akuma dropped down and picked Allen up, "I told you, it was an exorcist!" It cheered. Then Lenalee activated her Dark Boots and went to rescue Allen. When she got her fellow exorcist, Allen quickly told her to head back to land. "Something's scaring the akuma, and it's also scaring me. We have to go check it out." He informed Lenalee. The girl nodded and flew with Allen back to land. Only to see a huge monster-like creature. "No, Suman. Not another fallen one." Lenalee began to cry.
(A/N: I am sorry, but I am skipping the Suman Dark Fallen vs. Allen scene, as well as Allen's run into Tyki Mikk. So please use your imagination, for it's a part of the story I just don't have the thoughts (or guts) to write these scenes. Again I'm sorry and I might come back and put the scenes in at a later date.)
[This is the start of the dream Allen has while he's "dead" and is being brought to Asian Headquarters by Fo.]
'Where am I? It's so quiet, and look, the moon is so big. Is this what it's like to be dead?' Allen searched his surroundings. "Baka! What are you doing out here in the snow, alone?" Allen heard a faint voice. Quickly he ran and looked into the water. "Dying." He saw his younger self, eight years old, talking to, unbelievably, a younger, eleven year old Kanda.
"Why do you want to die?" Young Kanda asked.
"Because my father is dead, my uncle is dead, and the man who took me in is evil." Young Allen replied, hugging his legs to his chest.
"Ever thought of how others might think if you die? Like your golem over here? *sigh* I better not catch you here again." Young Kanda sighed and turned to walk off.
'He's right…' Young Allen thought. "Wait… Can I come back, to see you again?" Young Allen quickly asked.
"Tsk, fine." A small smirk spread over Young Kanda's face. Young Allen smiled brightly.
"And next time, cover up the ears and tail." Young Kanda stated as he walked off. Then the flashback in the water ended. 'So I meet Kanda seven years ago?' Allen sighed and then something bothered him. Suddenly, the whitenette woke up. 'I'm not dead?'
