Chapter 2

More rain

"...So Lenalee and Kanda are trying to destroy some level threes in a small town south-west of New Castle?" Lavi asked Reever. He and Reever had finally gotten Komui to let go of Allen and know they and Link was sitting in the cafeteria waiting for Allen to come after ordering his food. (They already changed clothes.)

"Yes, they called this morning saying they couldn't find the Akumas hiding with the people already living there. Marie is still out on a mission so Allen need to go there and help them." Reever said. "Um, Allen is that all you want?"

"Yes, I'm not that hungry. Please continue." Allen said sitting down with only one portion of stew and a piece of bread.

"Oy, Allen you felling alright?" Lavi said concerned looking from Allens meal to Allen and back. Allen nodded as he took a spoonful of stew.

"Well as I was saying Komui has been pacing around all morning waiting for you're return after he heard about these annoying Akumas. They didn't really say how many there where but I don't think to many with Kanda there and all..." Reever said looking worriedly over at Allen. "You sure you're okay Allen?"

"How many times do I have to tell you I am?" Allen said before taking another spoonful of stew.

"Walker are you sure you don't want anything else?" Link said as he started eating on a strawberry cake. Allen didn't have time to answer as Komui ran into the cafeteria.

"Allen! I got Timcanpy back from Leverrier. Now hurry up and help Lenalee." Komui said as he started pushing Allen away from the food.

"Supervisor come here." Reever took Allen away from the Supervisor and started dragging a protesting Komui back to his work. "Allen eat up and then go through gate 36. It's the closest to Lenalee and Kandas location but you'll still have to walk for awhile. Now come here Supervisor!" Reever had to get help from some finders to get Komui away from the cafeteria. Still Komui was struggling crying that Lenalee was in danger.

"Gate 36 huu..." Allen said sitting down by his meal once again. As he reached for his bread he got something hard instead of the newly baked bread he got from Jerry. "Ah, Timcanpy don't take my food just like that." Allen scolded the golden golem who still had bread crumbs around his mouth. The golem just flew up on his head and shook the crumbs away into Allens hair.

"Timcanpy stop that." Allen said trying to get most of the crumbs away from his hair. Not the easiest with a golem on you're head that doesn't wanna move an inch.

"Allen you want me to get some more bread?" Lavi asked.

"No need Lavi. I'll just eat this and then I'll go and help Lenalee." Allen said with his usual smile. He ate the rest of the stew and put his plate away before heading over to the Ark, all the while Timcanpy stubbornly stayed on Allens head without moving. As Allen and Link was about to step through Gate 36 Lavi came running.

"Wait up! I'm coming with you too." He said as he caught up.

"What about Bookman?" Allen asked.

"Nope, just me this time moyashi~!" Lavi said teasingly.

"That's Allen-"

"Better get used to it moyashi. Kandas on this mission too, you know."

"That's enough. Now hurry up." Link told them as he went through the gate, the others followed. After going through the gate the finder, who was accompanying Kanda and Lenalee, meet them and led them towards the town the Akumas was hiding in.

Allen frowned. Meeting Kanda wasn't something he was looking forward too, but staying at the HQ until Marie could help with Lenalees mission wasn't an option. Komui wouldn't stop pestering him about how Lenalee could be in danger if he didn't hurry up and got going. Of course that was only in his imagination. Lenalee could take care of herself, not to mention Kanda was there. He would destroy the Akuma on sight.

As they where walking it started to rain and they had to take shelter in a barn, Lavi had refused to walk in the rain. So now here they where, inside an old barn halfway to town waiting for the rain to stop.

"Wonder if Yu already took care of those Akuma?" Lavi said looking out one of the barn windows.

"If he has this trip has been in vain." Link answerd him strictly.

"Gee, don't be so angry." Lavi said bored.

"I just meant that this time could have been used more effectivly." Link told him still sounding very strict.

"Yeah, like to fill out another report." Lavi answered turning to Link.

"I think it has started to clear up. If we hurry we might make it there before dinner." The finder said as he looked in from the big barn doors. (He had been standing guard.)

"Be there in a sec. Oy, Allen wake up, you sleeping again?" Lavi said walking over to Allen who was sleeping on a straw pile.

"Ehh, wha?..." Allen said rubbing sleep from his eyes. Timcanpy, who had been resting on one of the beams, flew down and landed on Allens head.

"I said it's time to go. You really alright moyashi?" Lavi asked concerned as he helped Allen up.

"That's Allen. And I'm just tired." Allen said still rubbing sleep from his eyes and yawning.

"Let's just hurry to town and get this over with." Link said as he walked out of the barn Allen and Lavi soon followed and they started walking towards the town.

Authors note: I don't think New Castle existed during this time but for now let's say it does. (I tried to find a good location and south-west of New castle was the best I could find looking on a map of England on google. So deal with it.)
