-The next morning-

Allen awoke from slumber after a long night eating and talking to Ciel. He rubbed his eyes and looked around the room from his bed. Sitting up, Allen noticed the huge amount of sunshine coming through the window. He covered his eyes for a moment, and opened them once he came back to reality. Allen felt like he was still in a daze, clenching his stomach. Timcanpy flew above Allen and landed on top of his head like a helicopter.

"Ah, Tim!" said Allen. "It's sunny out... -yawns- I guess I'll sleep in for today..." Then Allen heard wild screaming noises coming from downstairs. It was Kari screaming in pain. Allen changed his clothes and ran downstairs to see what happened to Kari. It appears to Allen that Kari was stabbed about 32 times, bleeding from head to toe. Allen panicked and used his jacket as a towel to clean Kari's blood off from the floor. Ciel and Sebastian came in and saw Allen helping Kari, who was dying slowly and painfully.

"Kari! What happened to you?" said Ciel.

"Some.. monster.. attacked me when I was getting something to drink at night... I was scared, so I panicked.. I didn't know where you guys were until..." Kari fainted and was in Allen's arms.

"Sebastian, hand me my coat."

"The pretty pink coat Elizabeth bought you or-"

"NOT THAT COAT!" Ciel said in apparent embarrassment.

"I see you blushing, Ciel. Hehehehe.." Allen smirked at him.

"This is all your fault, Sebastian.. Grrr..." Ciel said.

"Well, if it wasn't for Lizzy, then where would the entertainment be?" Sebastian replied, snickering at Ciel. He looked at Kari's stiff body and sighed.

"It was nice meeting you, Kari Berkshire..."

Both Ciel and Allen looked at Sebastian.

"Why would you do that?" said Allen.

"I was expecting her to be a demon lady, but she's not.. Therefore, I will not go out with her again.."

"-sigh- You should've asked her that in the first place!" Then, Ciel slapped Sebastian in the face with a cold blooded look and kneeled next to Kari.

"Get. My. Coat. Sebastian." Ciel ordered the butler again. Sebastian, without a word, walked off to get Ciel's coat.

"That butler.."

"Mm?"

"Nothing, Allen.. Nothing.."

-Black Order HQ-

Lenalee was washing her clothes along with Miranda. She was a bit worried for Allen, staying in London for a whole month without her prescence.

"Lenalee, you look down today.. What's the matter?" asked Miranda.

"It's Allen.. I'm worried."

"Oh, don't worry about him. He can handle living on his own. He is an exorcist, of course."

"I know, but-"

"Don't worry about him. Don't. -smiles-"

Lenalee stared into Miranda's eyes, and smiled.

That day, Lavi was with Kanda, guarding the main entrance. Kanda had his Mugen out the entire time, keeping his distance from Lavi. Lavi began to wonder why Kanda's in a bad mood, and said, "Hey, Yu. Do you want Allen's Mitarashi dango? He had some leftovers in room after he left.. I took one.." Kanda ignored Lavi and stared at the sky. Lavi began poking Kanda in the shoulder.

"Hey... Yu... You hungry yet? Are you hungry now? Hey... Pssst..!" Kanda growled deeply, giving Lavi his last warning before he's chopped up into tiny parts.

"-If only Kanda weren't so mean...-" Lavi thought. He raised a hand at Kanda, almost getting it sliced off by the second.

"Stupid rabbit... Stay away from me.. Tch.."

"Allen, you stay here while Sebastian and I go find Kari's murderer," ordered Ciel.

"Understood." Was Allen's answer. After the two left, Allen's eye activated and was on high alert, hearing loud footsteps coming from the ballroom.

"Innocence... activate!" Allen went into his Crowned Clown form. The footsteps became louder and louder.. Allen prepared himself, eyeing his enemy. His enemy appeared, and Allen shouted, "Edge End!" Allen's attack missed the enemy.

"What the..?" Then, a sound of a chainsaw surprised Allen, making him kick his enemy into a wall saying, "GAH! GRELL?" Grell, in his reaper form, was knocked out.

"Grrrrr. Grell, you scared me!" shouted Allen again. Grell awoke from his daze and stopped Allen from attacking him.

"I was trying guard the mansion! I didn't know you're a reaper too!"

"A what? I'm an exorcist, Grell! This is my Crowned Clown form! See this? This is my mask."

"Too bad it's not red," said Grell, angering Allen even more.

"I like red! What's your favorite color?" screamed Grell in panic mode.

Walking down the streets of London, Ciel saw something flash before his eyes. It was so nimble that it could be impossible to identify it. Sebastian watched the unknown creature running around the streets in a quick pace, and decided to go after it like game. Ciel stood in his place, watching his demon butler chase after the fast creature at the same pace. Sebastian caught it, and suffocated it with his bare hands until it was unconscious.

"Good job, Sebastian. Lets take it back to the estate for Allen and Grell to check it out."

-At the estate-

Grell and Allen were fighting about colors, whether or not Allen should be dressed in red, or Grell should die his hair white like Allen's and the Undertaker's. Fighting for nothing of course.

"That mask of yours is hideous! I want it to be red!"

"It was like this when my anti-akuma weapon leveled up! Don't blame me for having it white in the first place!"

"Sir Allen Walker, quit your whining. I hate that white mask more than that red-"

"Shut up, Grell."

During Allen and Grell's fight, the door was knocked a few times.

"Allen! Grell! Please open the door." It was Ciel from the outside along with Sebastian carrying the unconscious creature on his back. Allen opened the door while in his Crowned Clown form. Ciel was in shock.

"Wha.. You're pure white! What happened?"

"My anti-akuma weapon can turn itself into the Crowned Clown, its final evolution," Allen explained to Ciel.

"Anti.. akuma weapon?" Sebastian said.

"That's right. A weapon that can ward off any akuma you come in contact with."

"So that's why your left hand's red all this time?" asked Ciel. Allen nodded. Grell was silent until he saw Sebastian.

"Se-" Before Grell could start, Sebastian gave him a death glare that would haunt him forever. Allen, done explaining to Ciel about his anti-akuma weapon, saw the unconscious creature on Sebastian's back. He recognized it as.. the akuma.

"So the thing that Sebastian caught is an akuma?" asked Ciel. Allen examined the akuma and said, "This one possibly killed Kari last night. But, we have to find its motive and first victim when arriving here in London." Allen then pierced the akum's chest with his left hand and saw a soul within it. It appeared to be Kari's, poissbly, another woman. Sebastian stared at the soul, and recognized it as Kari's sister. How come the akuma has her sister's soul but not Kari's? Were they killed at the same time but in different locations? There were many questions circling around the young men.

"Kari was murdered, but the akuma has her sister's soul. When Kari died, her soul wasn't accepted by the akuma..." Allen started.

"How do you know if the akuma actually did kill Kari?" asked Sebastian.

"By the akuma's scent."

"Allen, don't tell me your sniffed Kari's body..? Did you?" said Ciel.

"I did." Allen turned away from Ciel and Sebastian and blushed.

"All we need to know is why it didn't accept Kari's soul?" said Sebastian.

"This akuma can only hold one soul at a time. It uses one soul as fuel during the night. Right now, I think it's tired, wanting more. Too late, because Kari's soul already departed this earth.." Allen said.

"Now we know everything, lets demolish this akuma..." Ciel started.

Everyone was sleeping, and Sebastian and Ciel were standing outside of Allen's room.

"I'm still curious about that red marking on his face," said Sebastian.

"There is nothing to be curious about, Sebastian. He's a human, just like us. Don't bother him that much."

"Young Master, I-"

"Don't. Start."

"-sigh-" Sebastian wanted to know about Allen's left eye so badly that he had to take things to the next level..

"I have other plans.."

"What was that, Sebastian? I didn't hear you."

"How about we have a grand ball here?"

"Hmmm.. Why you ask of that?"

"We should have Elizabeth come over to see you again. It's been a few days since her last appearance. So, how 'bout it?"

"If you say, Sebastian. If. You. Say. So."

In Allen's room, Allen was excited.

"Did you hear that, Tim? We're gonna have a ball!"

On the outside, Ciel and Sebastian took a few baby steps away from the door just in case Allen starts to jump for joy WAY too much.
