A/N; And here's chapter six for you. As requested, Rhode is in this chapter. And I've also decided to pair Allen with Tyki…because I like Poker Pair. Rhode on the other hand, I will pair with Neah. It's almost a threesome/foursome...

Sheryl's just a freak. Wisely doesn't understand privacy. And the Earl is all happy. ;D

Welcome Home

Allen's fingers delicately tapped against the keys of the piano in the music room that he had created for himself in the Ark to practice. After hearing from Neah about what he had done in his free time to Levellier, Allen wasn't speaking to the man currently, and he'd created a music room of his own in the ark to practice so he wouldn't be distracted inside of his subconscious. The only song he didn't practice on this piano was Fantasie, which was played on the main one so he wouldn't set a new main piano.

"You still aren't talking to your uncle, Moyashi?" Lavi asked, sitting on a couch in the room, watching Allen play; making mental notes of what songs he was learning how to play. Maybe they were important to the Ark.

Allen snorted and shook his head, wincing as he missed a note on Tristesse and instead began to replay the song. "He had no right to go and do that…I don't like Levellier either, not after what he's done…but he didn't have to do that." He was happy that Neah had come back with Lavi, and Kanda's mugen, but going to hurt Levellier like that…it was uncalled for.

Lavi frowned at Allen, noting that he hadn't corrected him for calling him a moyashi. This was clearly bothering him. Getting up from his seat, the bookman apprentice moved towards Allen, lightly patting him on the head. "Think of it this way…Neah could have killed him. He didn't, and I bet he wanted to. He didn't want your hands to cause his death. Everything he does is for you. I never thought I would see a Noah that genuinely cares for somebody like he does for you. Remember what Noah he is…the Noah of Destruction."

"I suppose you're right…it's as much my fault as it is his…As much as he tries to suppress that Noah side of him…it's really hard." Allen stopped playing once he finished the song, satisfied with it for the time being. It wasn't perfect…but he knew the notes of it. Just four more of the songs he had to learn, after that he would continue to practice them. "Even I can feel the tug of the Noah, wanting destruction."

Neah?

"Yes, nephew?"

"I forgive you."

Neah smiled to himself, closing his eyes. Allen had forgiven him. That had been all he had wanted in the days that had passed since his attack on Levellier. "Alright then…since we're talking now…I think we should go to the Noah now. We can use…Levellier to show that you're willing to do that to the Order."

Allen nodded his agreement, sparking Lavi to curiosity and to launch a question towards the Noah. "What are you talking about now, Moyashi? You're planning something aren't you?"

Allen looked at Lavi, and nodded. "I rather thought I would join the Noah family today. They've already told me they'd welcome me as the Fourteen." He rose from his piano bench, but not before opening a door into the heart of the Ark. The door closed once Lavi stepped in and then vanished. "Which means, I'll have to hide your and Kanda's room like this one, so it can't be found."

Settling in at that piano, Allen's fingers glided over the keys, the song bursting into his mind along with the notes. "If we want to rid the world of the Order's corruption, and the Earl's destruction, then we need both exorcists and Noah on our side."

Exorcists and Noah working together? The thought was almost laughable…but the red-head couldn't deny the logic behind the words. The third side to this war would have to have the means of taking out both sides. One question was bugging him though… "What makes you think the Noah will even join you? They're loyal to the Earl last I checked."

Allen had now switched places with Neah to speak, the banished Noah knowing the Earl far better than Allen. "He's going mad; the Earl is…not that he already wasn't mad. Once he reaches his goal of destroying humanity…I'm positive that his 'Family' will no longer be needed. It's just the way he does things. He uses something until it's no longer needed. And some of the Noah; like Rhode, Sheryl, and Tyki I, well, Allen could possibly get over to this side…and if we can get the reincarnation of Wrath first…then there's another one. I don't know enough about the newer Noah to read how they'd fall."

Neah rose from the seat of the piano, pressing a button to open a door to the outside. "Which means, I have to go Akuma hunting. I'll be in Japan if you need me, Lavi. Let Yu know, and I'm sure Allen will check in whenever he can." Neah switched back to Allen, who then switched to Noah form and stepped outside the Ark. "You can also return to the Order if you like, for now, Lavi. Certainly having an inside person would be nice," Allen stated idly. "Six houses passed Kanda's a right down an alley should bring you to Komui's office." Allen lightly tossed Lavi the key to the door. "Tell Komui that I'm sorry what happened to Levellier…even if he did deserve it," with that final statement, Allen closed the Ark Gate.

Activating his left eye, Allen began his search for an Akuma. With Japan being as overrun with Akuma as it usually was, Allen was surprised with the lack of Akuma he was running into. Actually, this was the perfect time for some Musician skills practice. Whistling shrilly into the air, Allen was pleased to soon detect the presence of a group Akuma; a mixture of level two and three Akuma.

"Noah-sama."

"Good evening, Akuma," Allen stated, then covered his eye with the eyepatch he wore around cities to prevent anybody from recognizing him, but as well as hiding the tormented souls from his vision. "I wish…"

"Alleeeeeen," That voice was familiar Rhode Kamelot hurled herself at Allen, suddenly, and for yet a second time, kissing him on the lips. "You're a Noah! That's so greeeaaat. Millenie, Can I keep him?" She giggled at his red face and shocked appearance. "That eye patch looks good on you, Allen."

"Rhode…I'm not a dog. You can't simply 'keep' me," Allen commented after regaining his composure before he turned to the Earl. He inclined his head as respectfully as Allen possibly could, considering whom it was. "Good evening, Millenium Earl." It seemed as if the rest of the family had come to great him as well. Tyki was there with a smirk on his face, although he was holding Sheryl back from attacking him. "Brother, don't attack Shounen."

"But my precious daughter's lips! TYKI. How can you stand by a let him do that to my precious daughter! Rhode, Daddy wants a kiss too." Sheryl then held out his hands for a hug, but didn't that hug because Rhode had decided that she was going to hug onto Allen just to bug her adoptive father.

The Earl then raised his hand for silence. "Allen Walker. Welcome to the family." That simple? The Earl wanted the Fourteen back by his side so badly that he would allow him into the family just like that?

Allen tiled his head to the side slightly. "Neah's here too, Earl…" he tapped on the side of his head. "He's too nervous to come out to see you, though…he's worried about old feelings that you may have for him."

"You just made it sound like we were lovers, Allen…" Neah muttered inside of Allen's head, making Wisely snort and giggle. Allen looked at Noah's Wisdom, and scowled. "Do you always do that?"

"I allow people their privacy."

Tyki looked at Wisely with a withering glance. He most definitely did /not/ respect people's privacy and pried every chance he got. "Welcome to the family, Shounen." Tyki finally released Sheryl after saying this.

Sheryl stalked over to Allen and Rhode, glared at Allen for a moment, pried Rhode from him. Once Rhode was out of the picture of not clinging to Allen, Sheryl seemed to warm up to the boy slightly. He wasn't Neah, he was Allen Walker, who at first was against joining the family…but now that he was a Noah…he was more into being a part of the family since his own family of the Black Order disowned him.

"Tykiii, you never told me that Allen was so…arousing." Sheryl said, clinging to Allen now. "Millenium Earl, can I adopt Allen too?"

"Now now, it's up to Allen, Sheryl." The Earl stated, watching his newest family member closely. What had caused such a change in Allen Walker that he would so willingly join the family?

"Brother, you're such a creep sometimes…"

"Don't worry, Tyki. I'm aroused by you too."

"Ugh. I'm getting goosebumps…" Tyki said, shivering. He looked at Allen expectantly, knowing that if he said yes, that would make him Allen's uncle. He was already Wisely's uncle as well as Rhode's...so why not add Shounen to the mix as well?

Allen didn't risk offended the Noah that could control somebody's body, especially when the man was so close to him and was calling him arousing…such a pervert. Neah was the only normal one of the family, wasn't he? "I…guess…"

Rhode was now attached to Allen again. "Father, this makes Allen my little brother, doesn't it?"

Sheryl beamed. "It also means that he can't do any disgusting things to my cute daughter,"

Wisely was snickered again at Allen's thoughts of Sheryl being a creep, earning him another look. Wisely merely shrugged and tilted his head. "Your mind is an open book."

Rhode now had Allen by the wrists and was spinning him around in circles. "Alleeeen." She spun him right through one of her Doors. "We're going to buy you some adorable clothes and some candy. I'm going to dress my new little brother up like a doll!"

Sheryl didn't have to worry about Allen doing disgusting things to Rhode…but the other way around. Rhode really was attached to the boy, and only the Earl, and quite possibly Wisely with his knowledge knew why.

Tyki sighed, and followed the two through Rhode's door, stating idly. "You should play me a couple rounds of poker, shounen." The door then vanished while the rest of the family moved into the Earl's Ark and home.

Except the Earl.

For a moment, the Earl stood there, leaning on Lero before he moved into the Ark as well, the black gate vanishing behind him. "Welcome home, my Fourteenth."

A/N; I've seen maybe spellings of Sheryl and Road. Cyril, Sheril, and Rhode. I prefer Sheryl and Rhode as my two spellings of those names.
And I so failed at the Earl. ;D

Next Chapter; The first battle Allen fights against the Order.
I'm thinking of doing a Lenalee vs Allen fight since she's still with the Order. Or him fighting Lavi because he does go back in order to be a spy. 3
