Tyki shuffled into the front room and dropped an unconscious woman on to the floor. Her head whacked the floor hard and the sound it made on the stone made Allen wince.

"There's your fucking food, happy now?" Tyki growled, kicking off the hand that fell on his muddy work boots.

"Thanks, Tyki!" Road squealed, somehow clearing the five feet between them and glomping Tyki, who swore and pushed her off. Road smiled and grabbed the arms of the woman, pulling her over her shoulder with much ease. Road then managed to carry the woman down a hall to an unkown destination. Kanda sighed and grabbed Allen's hand, who blushed at the sudden touch. Kanda smiled at the pink-faced Allen.

"Let's get out of here." Kanda suggested and Allen nodded in agreement.

"Good night you two." Allen called to Tyki and Lavi as he was pulled out the led Allen off of the property quickly, and Allen stumbled along with his arm about to be ripped off.

"Yuu! Slow down, whats got you in such a rush?" Allen asked as he tripped over yet another rock. Kanda caught him and Allen smiled in thanks.

"I've always hated that place, and you seemed upset. I just wanted to get out of there and get home." Kanda replied not turning around to face Allen. The moments following were filled with the chirps of wild animals and not a single word was exchanged during the brief span of time. Allen walked quickly beside Kanda, their hands still together as they walked and Allen couldn't help but blush at the motion. A thousand and one things were running through his small head and he eventually shook each and every one of those questions from his mind but one.

"Hey...Kanda?" Allen said, stopping in his tracks. Kanda stepped forward again so their arms were extended, yet they still had their fingers entwined together.

"What is it now, Moyashi." Kanda asked stepping closer.

"How long has it been since you've returned home?" Allen asked and Kanda frowned. He closed his eyes in thought and tried to remember when he last set foot in this country.

"Two hundred years, give or take a decade." Kanda replied with a small grin as if pleased with the long life he has been living, but in realitly he was pleased with it.

"T-Two hundred years?! You do realize that your house could be gone by now. It's probably a skyscraper or a golf course or a mall or parking garage. Kanda, you're an idiot." Allen frowned dropping Kanda's hand and Kanda smirked at his distress.

"Don't worry, Moyashi. I asked Road to work her magic on the place before I left. Its more or less the same as then." Kanda smiled, ruffling Allen's hair.

"For the last time my name is Allen." Allen lectured and Kanda smirked, taking Allen's hand once more.


The wrought iron gates blocked the public from entering the small forest that had grown around the house. Kanda managed to open them and the pair walked up the white gravel pathway to the building. Allen stopped in his tracks as the house came into view. He wasn't even sure if it was even something you could call a house by standard definition. The large building to his surprise was still intact and beautiful to say the least. It looked like Kanda had just left, it was untouched byt today's time more or less.

"Is anyone here?" Allen asked wondering if there might still be distant family of sorts here.

"There might be someone here, I just had Road keep it from public eyes, hide a few rooms and maintain it every now and then." Kanda shrugged as he dragged Allen into the court yard. The large building wrapped around the courtyard that was lit by hundreds of lanterns and it housed a small pond with multiple fish swimming in it, a small table and chairs, and an old Sakura tree in the end of its season, its petals covering the ground around it.

"Well some things have changed." Kanda commented and Allen looked up at him with concern. Kanda stopped walking and Allen bumped into him and smiled awkwardly in apology.

"Hello! Anybody here?!" Kanda yelled and Allen looked at him in surprise. A door beside them slid open and a tall man stood in the door way.

"Who are you and what do you want?" He asked stepping of the room, scratching his head and yawning. He fixed his long sleeved white shirt and waited patiently for an answer. Allen frowned at the foreign language and hoped that Kanda would translate.

"I suppose entering there was a weird way to come in. I'm Kanda." Kanda replied in Japanese, Allen stood silent unsure of what they were saying.

"Very funny, I'm Kanda." He shot back with a frown.

"Then you must be my great great nephew or something." Kanda smirked and in return he was given a cold stare.

"Is there something you want, idiot?"

"I know it has been a while, but this is my house let us stay the night and we can discuss this arrangement in the morning. If you don't believe me, check the records. Generations back this place was left to me. This is legally still my house."

"Will you please speak fucking english?!" Allen yelled in frustration and Kanda and the stranger looked at him in surprise.

"Wow, he is really loud isn't he?" Other Kanda stated in english, leaning on the railing. "I don't believe you about all this but if you insist we can go check the records."

"That sounds like a plan, right Moyashi?" Kanda smiled nudging Allen's shoulder.

"My name is Allen. Al-len. A-L-L-E-N. Get it right." Allen pouted and Kanda snickered

"We can check in the morning if you'd like, you humans need your sleep." Kanda replied and the other nodded in agreement not noticing Kanda's slip up.
