Mizu: Finished another one. Today's been great. Finished To Keep Your Love and even managed to finish this chapter. Probably not that well written. I'll rewrite some parts later. Disclaimer time. I don't own anything to do with -Man. That's all I'm gonna say. I'm out of ideas.

Hidden Demons: Speeding for confrontation

"Wh-what?" the three gasped, clinging to each other out of fear.

"That ask you kindly to leave part," Allen chuckled before smiling, "I wasn't going to ask you guys to leave."

"Huh?" the three gaped.

Allen stared that the three dumbfounded for a moment before smiling gently. He made sure to wipe his chin to make sure that there wasn't any blood running down it before walking up to them. It was hard not to laugh as the three tried to scramble backwards, hanging onto one another. They sure were a funny group of people.

"I was going to ask you guys to stay with me here," Allen smiled, bending down to stare at them, "Please?"

"Wait…what?" Kanda snapped.

"You see, it gets rather lonely here in this old house. I really would like to have some people around so this place doesn't seem so…big," Allen stated, slowly looking around, "You don't have to worry about food, I have plenty for you guys seeing as master has a different stock of food than I do. There are plenty of bedrooms so you each can have one too. There's even two full baths on the second floor."

"What makes you think that we'll stay here knowing that you are indeed a demon?" Lenalee snapped.

"Oh that," Allen laughed a little, "Well, so long as I "eat" once a week, I can control my urge for flesh rather well. After that, that's when I have to be careful not to be around humans."

"But you still have to "eat"," Lavi pointed out, "That's not very safe for us, now is it?"

"I guess not," Allen sighed, rubbing the back of his head, "Hm…I know! What if I came with you guys when you guys go out during the day? I don't get the urge to "eat" when the sun is up unless I haven't "eaten" in a long time."

"Why would you want to do that?" Lavi questioned, "Can't you go wherever you want anyways?"

"No. I have to stay within the city limits unless my master lets me leave," Allen said sadly, "But he lets me go anywhere inside town. So will you guys let me hang with you when the sun is up?"

"I don't know," Lavi stated, "Yuu?"

"Don't call me that!" Kanda snapped, "I don't care. Whatever you guys think is best."

"Lenalee?" Lavi asked.

"Y-You promise that to hurt us or any of our loved ones?" Lenalee questioned.

"Cross my heart and hope to die," Allen promised.

"You have a heart?" Lavi asked, astonished, "Sorry, that was rude. It's just that-"

"That all stories say that demons are heartless creatures craving an end to their blood lust?" Allen finished, "It's alright. Yes, I do have a heart. Just like you humans."

"wow…" Lavi muttered.

"B-but you spending time with us during the day won't solve your loneliness at night," Lenalee pointed out.

"True but it will give me something to look forward to every night," Allen beamed, "So?"

"I guess it's okay with me," Lenalee said, smiling weakly.

"Why do you want to hang out with us anyways? Don't you have any demon friends?" Lavi questioned.

"No," Allen sighed, "Most demons detest my presence."

"Why?" Lenalee questioned, "It seems to me that if you are all demons there shouldn't be any problem."

"That's not true," Allen muttered, "I'm not like all the other demons."

"What do you mean?" Lavi asked, curiosity peaked.

"Most were born as demons, I was made one," Allen stated, "and that is not even fully true."

"Huh?" the three gaped.

"You probably should head home. Your guardians must be worried," Allen said, walking to the door, "I shall await you three outside of Lavi's residence tomorrow morn."

The three just looked at each other before walking out the door, "S-see ya tomorrow, Allen."

"Goodnight to you till the morn arrives," Allen said, slowly shutting the door.

"Kanda, Lenalee is waiting for ya outside," Daisya stated, walking by with a bowl of cereal, "She seems a little impatient this morning. It's probably her time of the month."

"Never did know when to shut your effing face," Kanda sighed as he walked out the door.

" 'Bout time, Kanda!" Lenalee snapped, tapping her foot as the teen slowly made his way out to her.

"Not my fault I only got like three hours of sleep last night," Kanda yawned, "Let's just go get the fucking usagi and try to get to school before the Allen kid shows up."

"What? I thought that we told him that-" Lenalee gaped as Kanda strode passed her.

"Do you really want a demon following you around? Especially after last night?" Kanda questioned, not bothering to look back, "If we don't show up, he'll probably just think that he just missed us."

"I guess you're right," Lenalee sighed.

"Good, now let's hurry up and get-" Kanda started to say until he spotted a familiar head of white, "Shit…"

"Allen!" Lenalee gasped.

The demon looked up at them and smiled happily, "A good morn to you two."

"Wh-What are you doing here so early?" Lenalee asked.

"I've seen you three leave this area around this time before and did not want to miss you," Allen explained, noticing Kanda's frustrated look, "I hope I haven't done anything wrong."

"N-No!" Lenalee stuttered, waving her hands in front of her face, "It's just that we have school today so we won't be able to be out much."

"School?," Allen thought aloud, "Oh! The big building that master always goes into most days!"

"Get back here, you brat, and clean you room!" an older man's voice sounded.

"Get off my back, you old panda! I'm gonna miss my train if I do that!" Lavi shouted, running out of his house, "Ah, so everyone's already here."

Lavi ran towards his friends while dodging the random items thrown at him. He hopped over his gate with ease and smirked at the group.

"You're overly excited this morning," Kanda pointed out.

"Who wouldn't be? It's the science fair today. That means Mr. Mikk is going to be busy all day and we'll have a study period for that hour!" Lavi laughed.

"M-Morning Lavi!" Allen greeted, a wide smile on his face.

"Huh? Oh, hey Allen!" Lavi smiled, "Glad that you could make it!"

"Make it?" Allen questioned, tilting his head from one side to another.

"Ah!" Lenalee screamed, "We're gonna miss our train!"

"What?" the boys snapped.

"You took too long, baka usagi!" Kanda shouted as the group ran off towards the train station.

"Not my fault! I woke up late!" Lavi whined, running as fast as his legs would take him.

"Stop arguing!" Lenalee groaned, "It's not going to get us there any faster.

Allen ran beside them with ease. He just stared at them with intense curiosity. Why did they hurry so? What was so important that they had to rush to the building that his master hated so? What was this school they spoke of?

"Jump for it!" Lavi shouted, launching himself through the open doors of the train.

Kanda followed his example with more grace. The two boys stood in the doorway as Lenalee tried to catch up to them. Allen slowed his pace to match hers. She seemed to be so tired.

"You can make it!" the boys encouraged.

Allen turned to look at them. Did it not matter that she was tired to them? Why did they have to take this "train"? Was not their health more important than this school they had mentioned. The demon turned his attention back to Lenalee as she started to fall to the ground. Reacting with extreme speed, the white haired demon managed to catch the falling girl before she hit the ground.

"Lenalee!" her two friends shouted as the doors shut on them.

Allen looked back and forth between the friends as the train slowly started to pull away from the station. It was all too confusing to him. He tilted his head slightly as he looked up towards the sky. These humans were such strange creatures.

"Lenalee?" Allen said gently, "Are you alright?"

"The…the train," Lenalee panted, "I…I missed it…"

"Is it of vital importance that you are in that "train"?" Allen questioned.

"Y-Yes," Lenalee sniffled, "My brother's already left for his job so I don't have anyway to get to school."

"I see," Allen stated, kneeling in front of Lenalee, "Get on my back."

"What?" Lenalee questioned, rubbing her eyes gently.

"Get on my back," Allen repeated, "and I shall get you onto that "train""

Lenalee slowly did what the demon said. She had no reason to doubt that he wouldn't be able to reach the train. After all, this demon had already saved her life once in the pass twenty-four hours. So why shouldn't he be able to catch up with a speeding train?

"Unwrap my left eye," Allen said as he slowly stood up.

"Why?" Lenalee asked.

Allen remained silent. He just stared down the track as his white hair started to spike up like it had the night before. His body seemed to pulse with pure energy as he stood there. Lenalee swallowed nervously.

"You don't have to fully unwrap it," Allen stated, a serious tone in his voice, "Even just loosening it a bit should be fine."

Lenalee just nodded as she slowly untied the knot that held the bandages in place over the left side of his face. She slowly unwound it twice before returning her hands to his shoulders. What was he planning?

"Hold on, mi lady," Allen whispered as he slowly crouch forward a little.

That was all the warning she received. One moment she was in the train station; the next she was side by side with the train. Beside Kanda and Lavi's window to be exact.

"Lavi! Kanda!" Lenalee cried out as Allen kept his pace with the train, "Open the window!"

The two boys jumped out of surprise before fumbling with the window. They both reached out a hand towards their friend. She gratefully took a hold of each and hoisted herself into the train car. No one in the car seemed to notice though. Sighing with relief, Lenalee collapsed onto a nearby seat and just stared at the ceiling. Had that really happened? Did Allen really do that?

"Ah! Allen!" Lenalee gasped, springing up from her seat.

The white haired demon was slowly crawling through the window. He looked up in shock from Lenalee's sudden outburst. With half of his body hanging out the window, the boy froze and looked at her curiously.

"Yes Lenalee? Did I do something wrong?" Allen questioned.

"H-Hurry up and get in here!" Lenalee snapped.

"Of course," Allen said, pulling himself through the window with ease.

"Wh-What the hell are you doing here?" Lavi stuttered.

"Lenalee wished to be on this "train". I was merely granting that wish," Allen stated, slowly starting to rewrap his left eye.

"You just ran five miles going at least thirty-five mph!" Kanda shouted.

"I can just see it now on the twelve o'clock news," Lavi sighed as he slumped into a seat, "Look! It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's a sprinting demon!"

"No one saw us," Allen said calmly.

"No one-" the three muttered, "Everyone saw you!" "That isn't possible. I made sure that no one but you three would see that act," Allen stated, gently tapping his left eye, "Most of the people will just believe that it was a sudden gust of strong wind."

"Wait a minute," Lavi gaped, "So your eye can hide you and what you do from the eye of those you choose?"

"That is correct," Allen smiled, sitting down in a seat while looking around, "So this is a "train". Master has often spoke of them but I am afraid that I have never once been aloud to see one with my own personal line of sight."

"So you've never ridden on a train before?" Lenalee questioned.

"No. If master ever wished me to go somewhere, he would either make me walk or take me a long with him in his loud metal machine with the four wheels that rest on the ground," Allen described.

"A car?" the three asked.

"Ah, yes! That car thingy is what he take me in!" Allen proclaimed, "I find that I do much prefer this train, though, as apposed to master's car."

Allen happily swung his legs back and forth. The three teens stared at the demon. He was like a freakin' five year old. He didn't know anything of the outside world from what they could tell.

"So, Allen," Lavi stated, "mind if I ask you a question?"

"I have no objections to it, no," Allen said, still smiling.

"Ok," Lavi muttered, "Exactly, how old are you?"

"Hm. A rather difficult question you ask," Allen said, placing his right hand on his head to think, "I believe that my body is fifteen years of age but soon to be sixteen."

"Your…body?" Kanda repeated.

"Yes. I told you once before that I am not like most demons, correct?" Allen stated, "Well, my body existed before I turned into one. So my body is at least fifteen."

"Then how old are you as a demon?" Lenalee questioned.

"Hm…about three years old I suppose if we are to assume your form of aging," Allen said, rubbing his head.

"Three?" the three friends gasped.

"H-Hai!" Allen stuttered.

"Hai?" Lavi and Lenalee repeated.

"Did you just say yes in Japanese?" Kanda questioned, "How do you know Japanese?"

"Ah yet another question," Allen beamed, "I was changed in the city of Edo. That is my birthing place as a demon so it is only natural that I can speak it."

Allen stared at Kanda, "Are you not of Japan, Kan-da?"

"I-I am," Kanda stuttered.

"I hope you do not mind if I occasionally slip up then," Allen said, slightly bowing his head, "Now, may I inquire something upon you three?"

"Inquire?" the three repeated.

"Ask a question?" Allen chuckled, "You must forgive my misuse of the language."

"A-Ask away," Lavi stated.

"Is this "school" fun?" Allen asked, eyes sparkling, "What is it that you and my master do there?"

"Well, whether or not it's fun depends on the person," Lavi chuckled nervously.

"We go there to learn while your master goes there to teach," Lenalee added.

"What do you mean? "Learn"? "Teach"?" Allen questioned.

"You don't even know what those terms mean?" Kanda snapped, "Just how dumb are you, Moyashi?"

"M-Moy…ashi…" Allen repeated, eye slowly widening, "How dare you!"

"H-huh?" the three friends gaped.

"How dare you call me a bean sprout!" Allen shouted, "I am nothing like that disgusting plant!"

"H-He didn't mean it that way, Allen!" Lavi exclaimed, waving his arms frantically.

"That's right! Kanda probably just met something totally different!" Lenalee added, "Tell him what you meant Kanda!"

"I meant that you're short, Moyashi," Kanda sighed, "And it's true."

"You say it to mean short?" Allen questioned, "What strange humans…So what does teach and learn mean?"

"To teach someone is to show them something that they don't know or understand," Lavi stated, slowly rubbing his face, "to learn is to try and understand the things that you don't know."

"So if I go to school, will I able to learn about everything in the world?" Allen asked, suddenly excited.

"P-pretty much," Lavi stuttered.

"Really?" Allen exclaimed, "Then it's settled! I shall go to school with you three!"

"Wait…what?" the three shouted.

"Is there something I must do before I can go?" Allen asked, fidgeting from excitement.

"Yeah, enroll!" Kanda snapped, "And you can only do that if you have a guardian do it for you!"

"Then I'll have my master do it!" Allen beamed, "He told me to find something to do with my days and now I have found it!"

"Do you know how to read?" Lavi questioned.

"Of course!" Allen exclaimed, "Everything I know I've "learned" from the books that master left in my residence!"

"…oh gawd," the three whimpered.

"-the hell?" Cross gaped as three of his students walked into his classroom with the one thing he never expected to see. His demon.

"Master!" Allen greeted, "Guess what!"

"I repeat, the hell?" Cross snapped, "What are you doing with these three?"

"I met them yesterday," Allen stated proudly, "That's how come I was so beat up. Then they came to my quarters last night."

"What?" Cross exclaimed, staring at the three teens just standing there.

"It's true!" Allen beamed, "They even let me come with them this morning to school! And now I know what I want to do with my free time."

"And that is?" Cross sighed.

"Go to school here!" Allen exclaimed happily.

"Hell no," Cross stated coldly.

"Why not?" Allen whined.

"I'm not spending my money on a waste of mass like you," Cross explained.

"you…You…" Allen said, head bent low.

"Crap," Cross sighed.

"You fuckin' cheap-skate!" Allen shouted, trying to punch Cross as hard as he could.

"What the hell?" Kanda snapped, "Why are you trying to beat the shit out of him? Isn't he your master?"

Cross dodged one last punch and grabbed Allen by his hair, "I can't believe you picked these three to be buddies with. Could you have worse sense?"

"Hey! I find that insulting!" Lavi and Lenalee pouted.

"If their guardians ever found out, you'd be dead within an hour," Cross warned.

"I-I know!" Allen whimpered, trying to block out the pain in his scalp.

"What does that mean?" Kanda snapped.

"You three haven't told you guardians, right?" Cross questioned.

"No but it's not like they'd believe us even if we did," Lenalee stated.

"Good, there's still time," Cross stated, "Go home and pack all of your crap, baka."

"What?" the three teens and demon gasped.

"B-But master! I have finally managed to gain friends!" Allen whined.

"Shut up and do as your fuckin' told!" Cross snapped.

Just then, the other door to the room slowly opened to reveal Mr. Mikk walking in looking extremely tired.

"Oi~! Cross, do you have any smokes on ya?" Mr. Mikk griped.

The teacher froze once he spotted Allen. Cross muttered some sort of curse under his breath while the teens watched their teachers tense up. They watched as Allen's eye dilated in fear. As his white hair spiked up while his body shook uncontrollably. He swallowed before letting his jaw hang. Mr. Mikk's shocked expression slowly morphed into an evil glare, focused solely on Allen.

"oh crap," Allen muttered, "T-Tyki…"

Mizu: Yay! Tyki managed enters the story! What does Tiedoll, Bookman, and Komui have to do with Allen? Why would he die if they knew? Why does Kanda seem to be a lot nicer than usual? Is Allen still hiding secrets from his new friends?

Kanda: Why are you asking them, brat?

Mizu: Shut up!

Kanda: Tch.

Mizu: Remember that all reviews are very welcome. They help me stay creative and give me the energy to torture Kanda.

Kanda: Wait, what?

Mizu: Ciao for now!
