+~+~+~A QUICK ANNOUNCEMENT FROM SEBBY-SAN

Sebby-san, "Please listen to tihis gorgeous butler for a minute. This chapter will be the last of 'His Exorcist...' titles, and will begin with 'That Exorcist...' by the start of chapter 21. Anyways, Allen-kun is still on mission to find all the Noahs located around here and other parts of Europe. As for his love for Lenalee... that will begin to quickly bloom during the second stage of this amazing fanfic."

Allen-kun, "Please enjoy this last chapter of stage one!"

+~+~+~Black Order HQ European Branch

Lenalee was back at the HQ to pick up someone. It was Link Howard (to much of Allen's disgust). They're gonna go out together in London for a break. Allen was keeping a sharp eye on Lenalee and Link the entire time, having Timcanpy by his side, too. Back in London, Sebastian was out in town shopping for his master and the others.

+~+~+~The London streets

Apparently the two weren't holding hands during the walk, but they were indeed laughing together. Allen and Timcanpy snuck behind a tree and watched them walk happily.

"Timcanpy, follow them while I find Sebastian." Tim nodded and flew off to catch up to the couple. Allen ran off to find the butler.

+~+~+~Some random shop

"Thank you for your time here!" said the cashier.

"Not a problem. Have a great time," Sebastian smiled. He left the shop and bumped into Allen, dropping all his bought stuff.

"Allen Walker, what are you-"

"I need your help!"

"What's the matter?"

"It's about Lenalee and Link.."

"Link? Who?"

"Link Howard. Here's a picture of him!" Allen flashed a picture of Link in Sebastian's face.

"Him? What's wrong with him?"

"I hate that guy...! I want Lenalee away from him!"

"I thought you said you're making sure she doesn't get hurt? It seems to me that this fellow isn't hurting anyone. Why bother killing the man?"

"He's... nevermind."

"Alright, I'll help you. Just let me follow you around until you find him. But first, I must drop these off at the mansion." Sebastian ran off to drop his stuff off and came back to where Allen was waiting.

"I'm back."

"That's good to know." Allen said sarcastically. Sebastian accepted it and walked with Allen to find Link and Lenalee.

What a bad pairing! Allen thought.

I'm sure Miss Lenalee will have a change of heart for Allen Walker. Sebastian thought to himself as well.

"Anyways, what do you wanna get Allen?" asked Lenalee. Link pondered his thoughts on what to get Allen for his one year anniversary of being an official exorcist.

"Ah! -whispers-"

"Ohhh, so that's it, huh? Okay then! I'll help you!"

Allen and Sebastian were hiding behind another tree and watched the two mingled with each other.

"Ooooh that Link! I am getting tired of him being around Lenalee!"

"Shhh! You'll get us caught!" Sebastian warned him.

She's gonna help him out? With what exactly? Allen thought again. Allen got out from behind the tree and watched the two walk away from his eyesight. Allen clenched his fists and growled deeply in anger.

"I'll go help, too..." he murmured.
