Chapter 5

Three weeks had passed since the whole fire incident and little by little Allen had started coming out of his room more often. It started out with him staying out for only a few moments then it progressed to a few hours, now you could find him out for most of the day, but he usually stuck by Lavi or Lenalee's side. At the current moment the silver eyed boy was sitting in the cafeteria with everyone else for once. There was a conversation flying around between multiple groups and most of them were debating over things that Allen had no real clue about. Walking over to sit beside his redhead friend with a tray piled high with many different food items, Allen dug in with a relish, not quite noticing the stares of disbelief as he ate the big meal. Krory hesitantly tapped the albino on the shoulder.

Allen stopped mid-bite and turned towards the wannabe vampire, tilting his head he asked the silent question. 'What?'

Krory spoke with a stutter. "A-a-are you-u can eat all t-that?"

Allen nodded and then turned back to his food. Everyone tried not to watch as the young teen devoured it all quickly. "Dude, how are you not fat?" Lavi asked exasperated.

Allen had developed a habit of carrying a notebook and pen around with him, now was no exception. Pulling out the small book he began to write. 'High metabolism.'

"Hmm that so." Krory said.

"I wish I could eat like you and still be skinny." Miranda said shyly. Everyones eyes turned on her. "What? Did I do something wrong? I'm sorry." She wailed. Not knowing what to do for the distraught woman, Allen walked up to her and patted her head. Instantly she stopped her depressed cries and looked at Allen, who had a small, unsure smile crossing his lips. The middle aged woman returned the smile with one of her own and gently grasped the hand and held it in her own.

"Awww isn't that cute." Mocked Tyki, Allen's head whipped towards him and his eyes glared daggers.

"Struck a nerve, did I boy?" The ash coloured man asked bored. Nicely taking his hand out of Miranda's, Allen faced the pleasure addict, his expression saying he was not amused. 'Dickwad.' Allen thought to himself.

A nurse came in then, telling Allen he had a visitor. Waving goodbye, Allen followed the lady.

As it turned out Allens visitor was his guardian, Marian Cross. He was sitting on Allen's bed, playing with Timcanpy.

"Idiot apprentice." The long haired man greeted.

Allen glared at his, eliciting a chuckle from the man, he had asked on several occasions why Cross called him that but he never got a straight answer. Pulling out his notepad Allen wrote. 'What do you want, Cross?'

"Can't I just stop by to see how your doing?" Cross pouted.

'Not when its you.'

"Ungrateful brat." He huffed. "Anyway I came to see if what the nurses are saying was true."

'What are they saying?' Allen showed Cross his question as the gold gollum flew to him and landed on his hand.

"That you've actually been socializing." Cross said in a monotone voice

'Wow contain your enthusiasm.' Allen wrote, hoping to sound sarcastic.

"Can it brat. Anita told me that if you continue to improve then you'll get to come home sooner than later."

That got Allen's hopes a little higher. 'Really!'

"No I'm just saying these things to get your hopes up, idiot."

All was silent except for the small sound of Tims wings.

"Allen!" Lavi's voice rang through the hallway and into the open door. Soon enough the green-eyed one running through the doorway and glomping the poor boy. Allen fell to the floor from the force of Lavi's tackle hug, taking the taller youth with him. Cross started laughing when he saw his charge getting flattened by another redhead.

Lavi looked up at the sound of laughter. "Allen why didn't you tell me you had a guest?" He whined

The squashed boy shoved the redhead off and stood up, reaching for his notepad. 'You were there when the nurse came and got me.' Was shown.

"Oh, my bad. Anyhoos I'm Lavi Bookman." He said to the older ginger, holding out his hand.

Cross took it. "Bookman's grandson huh. Marian Cross." He introduced himself.

"You know panda?" Lavi questioned.

"Yes but thats not important." Cross got off the bed and headed to the door, just as Allen noticed a stack of paper sitting on his desk." Later."

As soon as Allen looked at the stack of papers, his whole demeanor changed. A sudden growl escaped his lips and he lunged after the escaping man. "Cross you mangy asshole. Get back here so I can kick you into next month." He yelled, confusing Lavi until he remembered that Allen has split personalities and Nea, did indeed talk.

It just so happened that Kanda was walking down the hallway just as 'Allen' was chasing after his guardian and ran into the shrimp. "Outta the way asshole."

Kanda froze. 'Did the Moyashi just talk?' He asked himself. "Watch where you're going Moyashi." He growled.

"Move it asshole, I need to kill someone." Allen said and Kanda took a step back in shock. 'So the Moyashi can talk.'

"Stop blocking the goddamn hallway or I'll dig your eyes out with a rusty fucking spoon." Nea threatened.

"You wanna go, Moyashi?" Kanda growled, he did not take threats lightly

"Ya know what, it's been a while since I've been in a good fight." With that he threw the first punch, clipping the tall teen in the jaw. Kanda stumbled back a step and smirked, putting his hands up in a fighting stance. "What are you going to stand there looking pretty or are you going to come at me?" Nea challenged, taking a running leap and he aimed a kick to his opponents head, Kanda blocked and grabbed the foot, pulling it so the owner lost balance and fell to the ground, where Kanda boot stomped him . Not letting the raven get his victory, from the ground the whitette swung his legs up and captured the long haired teens arm and turned, making Kanda fall on the ground as well. Blow after blow was traded between the two as Lavi sat on the sidelines and watched. Looking up he noticed a group of nurses heading towards the brawling two, he snuck back into Allen's room, trying to stay out of trouble.

The two on the ground didn't notice the nurses and continued their fight. kanda was sitting on Nea, punching him while Nea was on the defense, his arms covering his face. Taking a risk he moved one hand and grabbed onto Kanda's long ponytail and pulled, Kanda hissed at this. Nea yanked again and kicked his leg to the side of Kanda's head, successfully landing the hit and stunning the youth that was on top of him, but not for long. Rolling his weight, Nea managed to reverse their positions so that he was on top, he then started bashing Kanda's head into the floor. He only got in a few bashes until a nurse dragged him off and tried to subdue him, from the corner of his eye, he saw Kanda getting less aggressive treatment. He started laughing.

To suddenly have the weight pulled off his confused Kanda, until he saw the nurses then the puzzle pieces all fit into place. The nurses started checking him over, he didn't fight knowing that if he did, he would end up like the Moyashi. Just as they were checking him over for signs of a concussion, Allen began to laugh. To say the least it was creepy especially with the smile he had. "What the fucks wrong with you Moyashi?" He growled. Over the past few weeks, Allen had been unsure and polite, this new Moyashi was the complete opposite it seems.

"Are you sad you didn't get to use your butter knife, Yuu-chan?" 'Allen' jabbed, that was the last straw for Kanda using a fair amount of strength, he punched 'Allen' in the middle of the face, blood came pouring out of his nose. 'Allen' started laughing again, this time without the smile.

"Don't call me that asshole."

The nurses seemed to have enough of the two and pulled out two needles filled with a sedative and injected the substance into the boys, their strength leaving them almost immediately. The last thing Kanda heard was 'Allen's' Laughter slowly dying off as he slipped into the land of the dead.
