Author's note: … I have nothing to say other than to reply to the two reviews I got last chapter. Sorry.

Nura.0 – I think I'm going to do something similar, thanks for the idea.

Animeloverx175 – Had to have my friend help, or it wouldn't have come out as epic as it did. ShadowNekoSakura helped with the fighting scene.

Vault1412 – Of course I will keep updating. Probably everyday day until school starts for me. Thanks for reviewing.

Thanks for reviewing once more.

Who's crazy now?

"Allen? Why did you attack Kanda? And who's Cross?" Lavi asked shaking the poor, younger boy.

"I attacked Kanda?" Allen's shocked voice surprised the Bookman, who was staring in amazement. "And Cross is my guardian." He added.

"What do mean 'I attacked Kanda?'!" Lavi exclaimed, "You seemed very adamant that you wouldn't be nice, and let something come back, unless Kanda beat you. Then your 'guardian' hit you over with a hammer.

I had some fun. I would have continued unless Cross hadn't come.

Damn it, Crowned Clown, what did you to Kanda?

I already told you, I had fun.

"-Arm wouldn't stop bleeding! You seriously hurt him!" Was all Allen caught from the redhead's story.

"I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to! I swear!" Allen said, shaking in terror that everyone would hate him for hurting someone.

"And I'm curious, what did you mean when you said you would 'let him come back'? Who is 'him'? Lavi asked, "Is it Kanda?"

"I... Don't know what you mean. I don't remember saying anything like that!" Allen whispered vehemently. "He did..." Allen's whisper was barely heard by the young Bookman sitting next to him.

"So you mean Cross didn't tell Panda-ji-ji that you were crazy an-""I'M NOT CRAZY!" Lavi didn't even get to finish his sentence before Allen interjected his two cents worth.

"Because you'll ridicule me, I don't want to say anything else." The, apparently angered, white haired boy snapped at Lavi.

"I won't! I promise! Please?" Lavi begged, trying to get Allen to say more. "I promise I won't ridicule you. I am a Bookman, and we don't break our promises." Lavi solemnly swore to secrecy, trying to get Allen to open up.

"No. I refuse..." Allen murmured, "Not chancing it..." He added after he had rolled over so his back was to Lavi.

Lavi pouted, but it did nothing since Allen wasn't looking at him. "I could just ask Cross." Lavi stated, trying to make Allen jealous, but all he got was a quiet "Good luck. You probably won't get anything..." They were those were the last words he got out of Allen before the boy pretended to fall asleep once more.

~Page Break~

"Kanda. Are you sure you'll be alright?" Bookman asked after bandaging the boys arm up. "Try not to blame Allen for this. It wasn't really his fault, I'm not at liberty to tell you without Allen's, or anyone involved with him, consents to it." The old man added. "Sorry."

"Che." Kanda said as his response, "Stupid moyashi." He muttered angrily. "I won't make a promise about not killing him though..." He growled, How the hell did his arm turn into that weapon? He thought cautiously. I'll figure it out sooner or later... Kanda thought once more.

~Page Break~

Lavi decided to be dangerous and walk on edge with the boy, "So. If it's nothing, would you mind answering this question?" He started, "Why did your hand transform into that weird weapon-hand-thing?" The one-eyed redhead asked. He could hear Allen taking a sharp intake of breath, before hearing his breath fall back into place.

"The Crowned Clown... It's his fault... Or it's mine... I don't know anymore..." Allen softly whimpered, Lavi's ears straining to figure out Allen's words. The listening boy reassuringly put his hand on Allen's shoulder.

"What do you mean? Who is 'he'?" Lavi questioned, hoping to get more answers from the boy while his guard was down.

"The Crowned Clown. That's just it. I don't know what 'he' is..." The shaking boy whispered, "He spites me..."

Lavi remembered hearing the boy say that he had to talk to Allen to make him stop moving, just so he could knock himself unconscious. Was that fight really this 'Crowned Clown' figure against Kanda? What does he mean he doesn't know whose fault it is. Lavi thought, trying to work things out in his mind.

"How does he contact you is you don't know who he is?" Lavi asked, staring at the small, shaking form beside him on the bed. Lavi shifted his weight, moving the side of the bed a little so he could see Allen's hiding face better.

"I know who he is. I don't know what he is..." Allen stated, looking at Lavi in his peripheral vision. Allen could see Lavi's mouth twitching downward with his lack of understanding. "I don't want to say anymore. I can't. I'm not allowed too..." Allen added sadly, he could have been friends with the young Bookman, but he was not allowed to share his secret without their consent. "Sorry."

Kanda stormed into the room a few second after Allen had apologized for seemingly no reason. Allen's eyes widened with fear, Goddamnit Crowned Clown. I have to live with him! And I'll never sleep for fear of him killing me!

I just had some fun. Can't you understand that? You haven't let me out in so long. I got bored, this 'Kanda'-person, was quite fun.

That's not the point if I understand or not. It was wrong, and I'm going to pay for it. Bastard.

You know. This 'Lavi' will tell the pretty boy. Then you'll be done for, for sure.

Damn you, Crowned Clown. Damn you to hell.

Already there, Allen. I'm already there. It's called you.

Allen didn't reply to the comment Crowned Clown had just made, he didn't want to seem any more childish than he already did.

Kanda glared at the boy with hatred, his black aura radiating off of him. Signaling that Allen would be in trouble, Lavi jumped at the change in atmosphere, "Kanda. Be nice! Your not allowed to kill him, we're friends~!" Lavi exclaimed, while hugging the boy to make the scene dramatic. Allen's breath hitched as suddenly Lavi hugged him, which confused the boy, who had grown up with lack of human companionship or affection.

Kanda was startled as well, but refused to let his poker face falter. But the next statement to comeout of Allen's mouth made Kanda's eyes widen, even if only by a little.

"What are you doing?" Allen asked, his eyebrows furrowed together in confused, trying to work out what was going on.

"I'm hugging you obviously!" Lavi exclaimed, "What else would I be doing?" He added, then realized that Allen had just asked what a hug was, "Haven't you ever been hugged before?" Lavi asked, his left eye staring intently at Allen to find out his reaction.

"Oh..." Allen murmured, "No. Nobodies ever shown me affection..." Allen said, but it was such a soft whisper Lavi almost missed it. But since it was obvious the boy hadn't wanted them to hear he didn't ask questions. Kanda just raised a eyebrow at Lavi.

Daku: Review?

Hasu: Please and thank you.

Kya~ I love Lavi in this chapter, I don't know why... . I feel so bad for what happens to Allen in this story... Hmm... This next chapter might take two days, I want to see how long I can make it without it being crappy, because I have a really cool idea for what's going to happen next. Can't wait... :)
