Chapter 3
Annoying cats
"You sure this is the right town?" Lavi asked the finder.
"Yes, if you come this way I'll show you where miss Lenalee and sir Kanda are staying." The finder said as he started walking into town.
"It dosen't look like some place Akuma could hide well." Lavi said following the others. And he was certainly right. The town might look big but most of it was completely trashed. The town square, if you could still call it that, was razed to the ground and most of the nearby buildings had come down with it. Few of the other houses around the square was somewhat intact.
"Here we are." The finder was pointing towards a house on the other side of a small river. It was still intact aside from a window that was nailed shut with planks. The group walked over a small bridge and the finder showed them through the door.
The inside of the house looked like a bar. Round tables where placed at diffrent areas of the room and a grumpy looking man was cleaning wine glasses behind a bar table. He barely looked at the newcomers before he started cleaning another glass.
"So where is Lenalee and Yu?" Lavi asked but before the finder could ask.
"Allen! Link!" Lenalee came down the stairs located to the left of the room. "Lavi you're here too." The last was more a statement than a question and Lavi simply hold up his hand in a greeting. Link just nodded.
"Hi Lenalee."
"Allen you don't sound so good." Lenalee looked worriedly at the white haired boy.
"My throat is a little sour." Allen said giving his usual smile. It didn't convince Lenalee but before she could say anything Timcanpy jumped from Allens head and flew around Lenalees instead.
"Ah, Timcanpy what is it?" Lenalee asked the golem when it, instead of flying around happily, landed in Lenalees hands and sunk down. The golem shook his head and sunk down even lower. Before Lenalee could conslut Allen, who looked pale even for him, Kanda came down the same stairway she had used.
"You're finally here moyashi." Kanda said in an annoyed tone.
"That's Allen Bakanda. And I'm here know. Hurry up so we can find these Akuma." Allen answered angrily but not very loud, his throat was killing him.
"Allen don't you want dinner first? You didn't get that much for breakfast and we skipped lunch too." Lavi said very concerned as Allen simply shook his head and walked through the door. Kanda and Link followed and Timcanpy flew after Allen and landed on his head again.
"Lavi, what's wrong with Allen?" Lenalee sounded really worried.
"I'm not sure but let's keep an eye on him." Came Lavis answer. Lenalee nodded and they both followed after the others. (Except the finder he stayed at the bar. He wouldn't be any help hunting level threes anyway :)
"So which way?" Kanda asked. They had now reached the center of town and Allens eye had started to react.
"This way." Allen walked to the right into an alley. There he made a left turn then a right and continued walking to the far end of town.
"Oy moyashi, you sure it's this way?" Kanda was getting tired of this walk, mostly because a cat had jumped on him and scratched his face. But also because Allen walked so damn slow. Allen didn't have time to answer before Lenalee cut in.
"Kanda, calm down. Allen will find the Akuma so just take it easy." Lenalee tried to calm Kanda down but he only frowned.
"Oyeah, why don't you tell us what happened in town instead." Lavi suggested. Link who had been walking at the back of the group perked up and started walking closer to here all the details.
"Those Akuma destroyed it." Kanda looked angrily over at Allen.
"Come on give me more details Yuu~. That couldn't ha-" But Lavi was cut short as Crown Clown appeard around Allen and Kanda drew Mugen. The second after three Akumas flew over their heads and continued into town. Kanda quickly ran after them, but as Allen was about to run after Lenalee stopped him.
"You should stay here with Link, Allen." She said gently pushing him away from the directon Kanda went.
"But those Akuma-" Allen began but was cut short by Lavi.
"You aren't feeling to well right? Stay here we can take care of those Akuma." Lavi reassured him. He then started to run after Kanda. Allen was about to protest but Lenalee stoped him in his thoughts.
"We can take care of it even if they are about to turn into level fours." lenalee said before activating her Dark Boots. "Link take care of Allen!" She said before she disappeard after the Akuma.
"Let's head back to the bar and wait." Link suggested, Allen could only nod. He knew he was in no condition to fight but he hadn't wanted to think about it.
As Allen and Link made there way around the fight a cat jumped out of nowhere and snatched Timcanpy, who had been staying on Allens head all this time, and ran off leaving Allen and Link to follow.
