Chapter 16
What was this feeling? It felt like ice was coursing through his veins. It burned. It hurt so much! He wanted to claw at his chest, he wanted to scream, he wanted to die, but he could not. Why? Why did everything have to become like this? He felt a sudden pain in his chest area and gasped as the pain increased. Crap…His consciousness was fading…
Silver eyes opened slowly, adjusting to the surroundings. When they had finally adjusted, they focused on a man who had a smug look on his face. Kanda. Just as he was about to call out to Kanda, he stopped. Touching his heart area frantically, he looked to Kanda and questioned him.
"I'm alive?" Confusion was clearly written on Allen's face. Kanda smirked, enjoying the look on Allen's face, before deciding to explain things to the poor boy.
"I gave you some of my regenerative powers. That means that from now on, every injury that you suffer from will heal faster than it usually does." Kanda explained. Allen thought about Kanda's words. He had been given Kanda's regenerative powers. Wait, then would he not change into an...AKUMA? Eyes widened as the realization sunk in.
"Doesn't that mean that I'll change into an AKUMA?" Allen shouted, standing up to distance himself from Kanda despite his body's protests. Kanda merely snorted and crossed his arms.
"I guess Komui didn't tell you. As long as I am willing when I give my powers to you, you won't change." Allen, at hearing Kanda's words, let loose a breath that he had been holding. A smile was about to surface on Allen's face when suddenly, his facial expression contorted into one of pain. Clutching the part where it hurt most, he gulped in a breath of air and fell to his knees, half-heartedly glaring at Kanda.
"What…Did…You…To…Me?" Allen wheezed out, flinching as the pain in his heart became worse. Kanda went through his mind, trying to find out what went wrong. Finally, something clicked. Kanda snapped his fingers and sprang up. It was when he had kissed Allen! A light blush snuck its way up to his face and he groaned. That was beside the point. The point was that somehow, along with his regenerative powers, his ice power had been given to Allen, and Allen's body was rejecting it. His power, after all, was fire, which was not compatible at all to ice.
Glancing at the boy, Kanda knew nothing could be done. Soon, Allen's body would either have to accept Kanda's power, or break down completely.
Tears were in his eyes as he let out one breath after another, the pain becoming overwhelming. He wanted it all to end. That was Allen's last thought before an excruciating pain shot through his back.
"AHH...!" Kanda stared at Allen in shock as wings started to sprout from Allen's back. The wings were completely encased in ice and fire was circling around them. Slowly, Allen stood up, fury and sadness shown in his eyes. A sword started forming in his hand and its blade soon erupted into flames. Then, Kanda heard the words that Allen said.
"I'm glad to see you again, Kanda, but…I'm going to have to kill you." A tear slipped down Allen's cheek and he ran forward, aiming straight for Kanda.
