Beauty and the Samurai.

Lenalee was ridding well into the night, it had gotten dark three hours ago and there was still no sign of Allen anywhere, yes he had a terrible sense of direction, but Lenalee had always found him after two hours of searching, it was over five hours ago that she had started her search for him.

"Maybe I should've asked some people from the village to help" Lenalee muttered to herself and then thought for a moment and then smacked her head. "No, that would be pointless, no one in the village likes us anyway, well except Johnny, but he'd be scared to death before he even takes one step into this forest" Lenalee muttered again and looked up and saw a high tower of...a castle? Maybe, but it still looked promising.

Lenalee steered Tim to head for the castle, after about fithteen minutes of ridding to the castle they arived at it's front gates, Lenalee stared for a second at the looming, fightening looking castle, it looked abandened.

"Well, I gotta go look, knowing Allen, he would've tried to find some shelter, and there was a pretty bad strom last night...oh, I hope he's ok" Lenalee said outloud, she was really worrying about Allen, he had never gotten lost too far in a set of woods.

Lenalee walked slowly towards the gates and pushed them open, she then grabbed onto Tim's riengs and pulled the reluctant horse inside the gates.

"Come on Tim, I don't want to leave you out there and have you run off somewhere, hurt yourself and then have me hunting for you too" Lenalee groaned as she had a hard time pulling into the set of gates, after that task was complete she cloesed the gates and ten started her slow walk to the massive, dark wooden door and slowly opened the door, the door made a low groan, as if protesting the move.

Lenalee slowly shuffled in trying to be as silent as possible, and pulled her thick coat tightly around her body cold body, she looked around the dark entrance hall, it spooked her, but she pushed onward, she had to find Allen.

"Hello" she called out, hopeing someone, anyone, would hear her she walked to the middle of the room, towards the massive staircase, it was too dark to see the colour of the stairs, but she could tell that they were fit for a castle, just by the size of them. "I'm looking for my friend Allen, he's gotten himself lost and I need to find him, he's got white hair and a strange scar going though his left eye" she yelled to the darkness again, but there was no answer.

-At the top of the staircase-

"Hey, Two Spots, it must be that Lenalee girl my Moyashi-chan talked about, she's cute, maybe she can melt Yu's ice cold heart and break the spell" Lavi said in a hushed whisper so the girl couldn't hear them.

"How many times do I have to tell you not to call me Two Spots?" Link whispered back, but in a more irrated tone, as he woodled over to the wooden bars that held up the banister and looked though two of the bars to get a good look at this Lenalee person. "How could you possibly know if Master Kanda would fall for this girl, what if she runs away because of his apperance or she's one of those girls that only cares about her looks?" Link questioned Lavi, "and have you already claimed that boy as yours even after one day of him being here?"

"I'm possitive that Yu will like this girl, she doesn't seem like she'll be afraid of him or care about looks, and yes I have already decied that Allen is mine, we've talked alot over the past twenty four hours and I really like the guy, he's too cute. He's my Moyashi-chan Two Spots" Lavi answered.

-At the bottom for the staircase-

Lenalee heard a whispered conversation but she couldn't hear what they where saying, she stared to walk towards the staircase and slowly walk up it, trying to search for the people at the top of the grand staircase, but saw nothing.

"Excuse me? Is someone there, please can you tell me if you've seen my friend, Allen, he's not hard to miss" she hoped someone heard her.

-At the top of the staircase-

"I'll lead her to Moyashi-chan, you keep an eye on Yu, yeah? He doesn't usualy come out of his room this late, so hopefully we won't have any trouble off of him, see ya Two Spots" Lavi said as his candles flared up, like they where turned on by a switch and then hopped down the small corridor that lead to the dungeons.

"Stupid Lavi" Link muttered to himself as he shoke his head and went off in another direction, he dissapered into the shadows of the corridor right before Lenalee came up the stairs.

-With Lenalee-

When Lenalee came to the top of the stairs, there was no one, there was only a dim light coming from a candle that was moving down a really small corridor that was to the right, it was really tucked away and very narrow, like it didn't want to be noticed.

"Wait, I'm trying to find my friend, please. Can you please help?" She yelled as she followed the light that slowlyy started to dissapear down the corridor, when she got there, the light was going up a spiral staircase. She ran up the stairs, they went a long way up, it took her about 10 minutes to reach the top of the staircase, but she didn't see anyone just some empty cells.

"Hello?" She called out, hoping she didn't see something that wasn't there, and hopeing someone heard her.

"Lenalee?" Came Allen's surprised voice from inside one of the cells, Allen's pale face came into veiw from the small bars near the bottom of the cell door, his silver eyes showed that he thought he was just seeing things and that she wasn't actually there, he didn't know if he should be thankful that she's here, or be fearful of the fact that she might become a prisoner.

"Allen!" Lenalee yelled as she rushed over to Allen's cell as soon as she got there she feel down to her knees infront of where he was and grasped his long, thin, pale hand and held it tightly.

"Lenalee" Allen whispered in a low voicemore to himself than anything else , his eyes were set on the stone floor. After a few minutes he looked back at Lenalee, his eyes locking with hers. "Lenalee, you shouldn't be here, you have to get out. Now" he said, his eyes were full of fear, Lenalee got more fearful for him than herself, he never had a fearful look, never around her.

"No way am I leaving you here, you're frozen Allen" Lenalee whispered back to him and gripped his hand tighter.

"Lenalee, I'm not going to break my promise to your brother to keep you safe, you need to go back to the village Lenalee. Go now" Allen spoke again.

"No. If Komui was here, he wouldn't want to see you hurt, locked up in a cell and getting frozen to death, Allen" Lenalee said stubbornly, he mentioned her brother first, she'll counter back with it, she knew what Komui would say, he would be worried about Allen. They were like a family, Lenalee pouted at Allen. "You're so selfish, you care about me, and don't care and about yourself Allen, you're the only freind I've had, I'm not about to lose you too" she whispered

Before Allen could answer a massive paw gripped Lenalee's shoulder and forced her around.

"Who's there?" Lenalee asked the darkness, she knew somene was there, but she culdn't see where they where, it was to dark and they where to far away.

"Che, I'm the master of this castle, what do you think you're doing here?" The figure in the darkness growled back.

I'm here for my friend, Allen, please let him out" Lenalee demanded, she glared in the direction that she heard the voice.

"Don't think so, he's my prisoner and that's the end of it" the figure growled again, the figure turned to walk back down the stairs, thinking that the girl will leave it at that, by was he wrong.

"Lenalee, please go, I'll be fine just get yourself out of here" Allen begged her to go, he didn't want to see her get thrown and locked in a cell.

"I'm not leaving without you Allen, dn't you get it. You're my best friend, I'm not leaving you here" Lenalee said stubbornly. "Now, there must be smething I can...wait!" She yelled the last part to the shadow that still hadn't left.

"What now?" The shadow asked in a cold, annoyed voice.

"T-take me instead" Lenalee stuttered slightly.

"No Lenalee" Allen whispered to himself, he stared on, completly helpless at getting his friend out of here, instead he had to sit and watch, he felt so useless.

"You would take his place?" The figure asked himself softly "why would you want to willingly take his place!" The figure then demanded in a cold tone. Why would anyone that was sane want to trade places with any his prisoners?

"He's my friend, I'll do anything for him, and if I traded places with him, would you let him go?" Lenalee had to know, she had to know that Allen would be let out and get to go free.

"Yes I would, but you must promise to stay here, forever and under my rules" The figure answered, he couldn't have her running ut at the middle of the night to tell people.

"Come into the light" Lenalee said, the figure stood there unmoving. "Please, I just want to know who you are, before I make my decision, please" Lenalee continued when she saw that the the figure hiding in the shadows didn't move.

"Maybe this stupid girl would reconsider if she saw me" the figure thought as he slowly started to slide into the only patch of moonlight in the room, that came from a hole in the ceiling.

Lenalee gasped at this beast's sight, he was large a big bushy tail was seen swishing in annoyance behind him, and very tall he towered over her small femiene frame, black as night that seemed to have a tint of blue in it covered his whole body and then his eyes were darker then his eyes were cold but Lenalee could see pain hiding behind the coldness.

"Lenalee, please don't do this" Allen still pleaded with her helplessly, he didn't want her to suffer the fate that he would've suffered.

Lenalee ingnored him, she couldn't let Allen stay here, she wouldn't lose anyone else to sickness. Lenalee stood up on slowly and then moved foward to stand infrom of the creature.

"You have my word" Lenalee said, losing the last bit of confidance she had but still stood strong.

"Done" the creature snapped and then rushed to Allen's cell and ripped off the door and then dragged Allen out by his shirt collar.

"Wait, no, Allen!" Lenalee screamed and tried to reach him, but her legs started to feel like jelly and now she couldn't get up.

"Lenalee!" Allen screamed back as he was harshly dragged down the stone steps and out into the cold night.

Lenalee sat in the cell that Allen was in a few moments ago and then started to cry into her arms, hiding her face from the world.

Ok now that's that
