Chapter 4

A new friend or foe?

"In this moment that won't come again,

You are the only one I see in front of me."

A beautiful voice finished singing and the singer listned delightfully to the applause.

"Wonderful performance! Encore!"

Came shouts from the audiance but the singer simply left waving at the many people wanting to hear more.

"That was beautiful as always Miss. Why don't you come live in my big mansion instead? I can give you a life wordy of you're talent." Lord Michael asked the singer.

"I've already decided to wait here, and I will not leave." The singer said walking out of the mansion and towards town.

"Always saying you're waiting for some guy." Lord Michael muttered to himself. "If he isn't dead he's probably with someone else and has forgotten everything about you!" He shouted after her.

"I already know he's probably dead. But I'll still wait beacause he'll never forget." She said as she continued walking back to her home.

"Come here kitty! Where ar-" Allen called but was stopped by his own choughing.

"Let's get back to the inn and get help from the others tomorrow." Link suggested but Allen shook his head. He wasn't going back without Timcanpy. Allens eye had stopped reacting to Akuma.

The others probably led them out of town, Allen thought. Atleast that meant Link wouldn't be in trouble as Allen didn't feel like he could keep them both safe.

"Allen are you listeniong to me?" Link said annoyed turning the teen to stand face to face with him. "If we can't find him within half an hour were going back nomatter what you say okay?" That wasn't a suggestion from Link, it was an order and Allen didn't feel like disagreeing. He simply nodded and went of into another alley walking quickly and looking around for any sign of Tim or the cat that took him.

"Five more minutes." Link announced keeping track of time to the second as always. Allen looked around desperatly, if they waited till morning the cat could have ran of anywhere. A crashing from somewhere nearby caught his attention. It was his last chance for finding Tim that night so he darted of into an alley and turned into more and more labyrinth like alleyways.

As he turned left and ran through yet another alley he ended up on a street he didn't recognise. As he turned to ask Link where they were, he relized he had lost Link in the mace of alleys.

"Link is gonna yell at me for this..." Allen said sighing. He looked around to get some sort of clue as to where he were. When he spotted someone crouching down by a shop farther down the street. He went over to ask for directions but as he got closer he spotted something gold colored in the persons hands.

"Timcanpy!" Allen shouted but started choughing as soon as the words left his mouth. The golden thing in the persons hands really was Timcanpy who as he heard Allen flew over at him and quickly stuck himself to his head.

"Excuse me is that youres?" The person who found the golem asked as he walked up to Allen. As Allen got a closer look on the person he realized it was a boy who couldn't be much younger than himself, but he was dirty and looked like an orphan. Yet the big hooded sweater he was wearing was, even as it was looking really thrased, stitched together in a way that it looked intentional. The boy himself was black haired and had eyes that looked black but that could just be the bad light in this part of town.

"Yes, his name's Timcanpy. Thank you for finding him, I'm Allen by the way." He was about to ask the name of the boy but decided not to incase he acctually was homeless.

"Then do you know me?" The boy asked looking up at Allen even if he didn't look much younger than him he was atleast a head shorter than Allen. Allen was about to say he didn't and ask what that was all about but didn't have time as.

"Allen watchout!"

The next second Allen, the boy and Timcanpy still holding onto Allens hair was transported up to one of the nearby roofs. And that was in the last second as a missile completly blew up the place they had been standing at seconds ago.

"You guys alright?"

It took Allen a while to realize Lenalee had saved them. He was feeling very dizzy from the fast motion, the boy standing beside him didn't look much better either.

"Ahh, just a little dizzy." Allen said grabbing a chimney for balance. The boy was holding onto Lenalee as she crouched down to look if he had gotten hurt. He looked, aside from a bit dizzy, kinda plain for someone who had just been transported onto a rooftop in less than half a second.

"What was that about Lenalee?" Allen asked her.

"The akumas did that." Lenalee said not averting her gaze from the boy until she was sure he hadn't been hit.

"But I don't see any." Allen said looking around confused, his eye should have reacted if they were within 300 meters from him.

"They're up there." Lenalee pointed up and as Allen looked up he did see some small explosions, or maybe they where big just very far of. Far enough for his eye not to react to akuma.

"Maybe I should he-"

"Lavi and Kanda are taking care of it." Lenalee said firmly. "And why aren't you at the inn yet? Where did Link go by the way?" She looked around but couldn't spot Allens watcher anywhere near.

"Ahh,ehh you see we where on our way but then Timcanpy got snatched by a cat... And, well, then I ran after a sound and lost Link... And then this boy found Tim for me." Allen smiled towards the boy who still hold tightly onto Lenalee afraid of falling down.

A lot of big explosions caught Lenalees eyes and she jumped up towards the battle with a "Be back soon." leaving Allen to catch the boy she threw in his free arm. This night could have been better Allen thought.
