Chapter 8

Questions

"Susanna made some chicken soup for you Allen."

"Thanks Lenalee." Allen said smiling to his friend wjo just closed the door behind her. Allen was still in bed but know he was playing a card game with Tim. Lenalee put down the tray on the table beside the bed.

"Here." Lenalee said as she sat down on the chair holding the bowl to Allen.

"Thanks." Allen said before taking a spoonful of soup. Lenalee was grateful he was eating but this was nothing compared to what he usually wanted, and Lavi had told her Allen only ate one portion stew before he left to help her and Kanda. Timcanpy was flying around Allen but for once it didn't seem like he wanted to play eat.

"How's the others doing?" Allen asked jolting Lenalee out of her thoughts.

"Ehh? Kanda and Link have been going back and forth from town trying to find the akuma and Lavi has been talking to Erik alot." Came Lenalees answer.

"Hmm... Erik is that boy right? Do you know anything about him? Lavi didn't tell me much." Allen said as he slowed down eating.

"Not much since we got you here he lost his memorys twice. But I did figure out that he is good at playing the piano." Lenalee said.

"Don't Miss Susanna or the priest know anything more?" Allen asked he stopped eating this time.

"Not much. Susanna said he wandered in here one very rainy day asking if they knew him. They let him stay over the night but the next morning he didn't remember them anymore or how he ended up here. Since then they haven't found anyone who knows him around here and they say he still forgets everything sometimes." Lenalee answered. "Aren't you gonna eat more?"

"No, my stomach feels kinda wierd so I better not." He said putting the bowl back on the tray.

"Then maybe you should rest some instead." Lenalee suggested standing up. "I'll take this back to the kitchen. Tim you'll have to come with me, Susanna didn't want you bothering Allen." She continued as she picked up the tray and walked over to the door. Tim followed slowly.

"Good night Lenalee, Tim." Allen said laying down.

"Good night Allen." Lenalee said pushing the light switch leaving only the light from the corridor outside to bright up the room somewhat. She went out the door with Tim on her shoulder. She closed the door behind her and went over to the kitchen to clean the bowl and spoon Allen had used.

After hours off looking for the akuma Kanda decided to head back to the church. Link had already gone back and Kanda turned to get one last look of the town. He couldn't see anything looking like an akuma anywhere near the town. He looked around him, only a farm house to the right suraounded by pastures some off the animals was still outside but they where sound asleep. He looked to his left and all he saw was some fields, no akumas here. He started walking down the road to the church.

The church was built far from town and walking over the next hill Kanda could barely see the top of the church tower. Looking back to the road ahead of him, he saw a light. As a reflex he put his hand on Mugen and glared at what could be an enemy. As the light got a little closer he took his hand of Mugen. It was only that annoying brat holding a lantern and the moyashis golem.

"What are you doing here?" Kanda asked angrily as Erik came up to him Tim sitting on his head.

"Lenalee wanted to see if you where coming back but Allen needed help." Erik answered not the least intimidated by Kandas angry question.

"That moyashi is only problem. And why where you coming instead?" Kanda asked as he continued walking to the church. This brat was annoying not only because he asked so many questions but also because he forgot things all the time and asked the same stupid questions again.

"She asked if I could look instead." Erik answered simplyfollowing Kanda. "What's th-"

"Don't touch that!" Kanda said moving Mugen to his left side keeping it away from Erik who was walking on his right.

Erik didn't try to talk about the sword again but keept staring at it. Whenever he looked at that sword,Lavis hammer or Lenalees foot straps, or whatever they where, he felt that he remembered something but he could never truly say what it was. Tim made some gurgling sound and Erik scratched him behind his horns which the golem seemed to like.

"What is that sword?" Erik asked once again looking at Mugen. Kanda didn't answer and Erik was quiet for awhile.

"Where are you from?" Erik tryed talking to Kanda again and this time froze for a moment but he kept walking without answering.

"Who's Allen?" Was Eriks third question.

"Haven't that baka usagi told you yet?" Kanda answered frowing.

"He told me, but I can't understand anyway." Erik answered looking down and slowly swaying his arms making the lantern be dangerously close to his clothes.

"OY, watch it!" Kanda said quickly pulling Eriks right hand, which held the lantern, up and away from his sweater. "Baka you wanna get burned?" Kanda scolded Erik who simply looked confused. He hadn't tuched that red stuff that hurt since he burned himself when Lenalee lit it before. But when he was about to ask he noticed Kanda looked confusedly at his wrist. He was gonna ask about that too but before he got the chance.

"Erik! Kanda!"
