Hiya guys! Sorry for the late update! I'm just getting used to high school life ehehe~ ^^; But I'll try to do my best to update faster!

They all stood there frozen, staring at the figure that was Allen Walker, The exorcist that disappeared over two years ago. The one that made their hearts turn and twist when they received news of his move to the central. Lenalee felt a small warm tear fall from her cheek as she stood there with an expression of disbelief.

Lavi was the first one to shake off the shock as he managed to pat Allen's back "You sure are pretty late, Beansprout..." Lavi said as he smiled.

"It's Allen stupid rabbit" Allen said as he smiled nostalgically.

"Allen-kun!"

Lenalee then ran shouting as she hugged Allen stood there. Miranda tried to wipe off her tears that kept on falling from her eyes. Krory smiled as he patted Miranda's back.

"I missed him too, Miranda" Krory said as he felt a tear fall from his face.

Kanda turned his head "Tch, Stupid Beansprout" Kanda

"Alright, Alright enough with the dramatic reunion," a figure behind Allen said "You all know we have a mission right?"

"Ah, Link's such a killjoy" Allen said as Link dusted off the rubble off his uniform.

Lavi stood there until he noticed something, Allen had changed. His hair was now longer and he was also taller than Link, he dared not to but he compared their height and he was right Allen was now the same height than him and Kanda. Lavi also noticed that Allen seemed to be carrying a suitcase of some sort, it had a steel lock on it and it looked like Allen was determined not to let go.

Link sighed, "Come on let's go find an inn we'll resume our mission tomorrow" Link said as he got off the ruined building.

"Yeah yeah, well then let's go everyone" Allen said as patted Lenalee's head who was still hugging him.

Once the exorcists found a inn, they immediately went to their rooms. Lavi, Kanda, Allen, Krory and Link were sent to one room while Miranda and Lenalee were in the other. Once they got into their rooms, Allen had volunteered to shower first while the others agreed.

Lavi sat on the bed as he polished his hammer until a thought crossed his mind, "Come to think of it, Komui said we'd have a General accompany us in this mission, so does that mean that..."

Kanda turned his head, acknowledging Lavi's point while Krory looked at Link hoping for some answers.

"He was promoted to the title general a year ago." Link said, not looking up from his papers as he sat on a chair.

'How come bookman didn't tell me this" Lavi asked himself as he thought over what Link had said. Lavi turned his head as he noticed that Allen came out of the shower wearing only pants. Lavi's jaw widened as to what he saw

"Ah, now that was refreshing~" Allen chirped as he got out of the bathroom rubbing his white hair with a towel.

The other exorcists in the room were shocked to what they saw underneath Allen's shirt. His body was filled with scars of every kind but the one that was most eye catching was the one that slanted from his left shoulder to his lower right hip. Even Kanda's mouth was slightly tilted when they saw this.

"Allen, What are those!" Lavi exclaimed as he pointed at Allen.

"What's what?" Allen asked innocently as he tilted his head.

"Those scars on your body," Lavi exclaimed "Where did they come from?"

"Oh, this. . .," Allen said as he went silent for a few seconds "Just some battle scars, no need to worry." Allen smiled as he grabbed his shirt from the table near him.

Lavi shot Allen a worried look, "Really, it's nothing I tell you" Allen said as he tried to wave off the other's worries.

"Stupid Bean sprout can't even take care of himself" Kanda said as he crossed his arms.

Lavi sweat dropped as he sensed a murderous aura from Allen.

"I don't need someone who eats nothing but soba everyday say that to me" Allen replied.

"Why what's wrong with soba, stupid bean sprout unlike you I don't chow down on my food like a hungry beast" Kanda said as he gave Allen a death glare.

"Bakanda"

"Beansprout"

"Soba eating idiot"

"King of debts"

Lavi just watched as each of them threw an insult back at each other, "What great friends!" Lavi said with a smile.

"NO WE AREN'T!"

"Yeah, Yeah let's not destroy the inn now" Lavi said as he waved off. Krory just smiled awkwardly as he and Lavi watched the two exorcists quarrel. Link sighed as he tried to desperately finish writing his report.

While in the other room...

"My, It sure is noisy over there" Miranda said as she lay on her bed. Miranda looked over to Lenalee who was smiling as she played with her fingers.

"It's a good thing Allen came back," Lenalee said as she looked at Miranda, "I really missed him and I'm sure the others did too..."

Lenalee felt happy, she thought that a part of her world disappeared but it looks like she was wrong. Allen was precious to her like everyone else, it was enough that the Black Order called him a traitor but having the Central take him away from them was too much. She would protect Allen, she would protect him with all of her heart.

But there was one thought that confused her, Why did the Central wanted Allen to move there? It looked like they would experiment on him because of the Noah in him but Allen looked fine. He didn't looked distressed or anything.

'I should ask him tomorrow...' Lenalee told herself

"We should sleep now," Miranda said "The sooner we finish this mission, the sooner we can get home."

Lenalee nodded as they both fell asleep

The next day...

The exorcists woke up early as they went down to get some breakfast and once again Allen's appetite never ceased to amaze them.

"Ah~ It's so delicious~" Allen hummed as he took a bite of his food

Kanda tch'ed at Allen as he continued eating his soba, fortunately the inn also made soba.

When everyone was done eating their breakfast, Allen then took some papers from his suitcase and started to examine them. Lavi noticed this and tried to peek.

"Hey Allen, What's that?" Lavi asked, Allen had been guarding that suitcase as if his life had depended on it so to see him actually take something out of it was really interesting.

"Oh, these are the briefing folders Link gave to me," Allen said "I didn't have time to back to the central to get briefed about the mission personally.

"Hey Allen...Why did the central wanted you to move there" Lenalee asked as she looked at Allen, who seemed to freeze for a second. It was as if time had stopped, everyone seemed to stared at Allen even Kanda turned his head to him. That was right; they never knew what really happened two years ago.

"A-ah, nothing really the central just wanted me to be move there to enhance Vatican security" Allen said as gave his trademark gentle smile.

'They sent a possible vessel of a Noah for extra security? The Vatican isn't that stupid,' Lavi thought to himself "Allen's hiding something...again" Lavi gave out an exasperated sigh.

"Alright then shall we get this mission started?" Allen asked as if he was trying to change the topic quickly.

"Ah yeah, almost forgot about that," Lavi said "It seems that people have been disappearing around this town and Komui has his suspicions that it's innocence."

"Yeah, and the other thing is the village is currently holding a festival so we'd have to search the entire city and if possible, outside of the town" Lenalee said

"Then shall we split into two teams?" Lavi suggested.

"Yeah, we'll cover more ground that way," Allen agreed "Lenalee, you'll go with Miranda and Krory while Lavi and Kanda will come with me and Link."

"Tch, why do I have to go with the stupid beans sprout and idiot rabbit" Kanda said as glared at them.

"We have no choice Yuu, the festival ends tomorrow and this might be our only chance to search the city since the disappearances started when the festival came." Lavi reasoned as the blade of mugen met his face.

"Never call me by my first name ever!" Kanda said as he gave Lavi a death glare.

"Uh yeah..." Lavi said as he smiled comically while the others laughed lightly.

Allen sighed nostalgically, 'I forgot how carefree I was before' He thought to himself as he smiled. Miranda noticed Allen smiling as she tried to ask him but Allen just waved her away, "I'm fine don't worry" He said.

Allen walked together with Kanda, Lavi and Link as they looked around the busiest section in town. Allen lightly touched his scar as if waiting for to activate. They passed through a couple of streets but still there was nothing to report.

Allen clenched his fist; he forgot that the others were also in the room yesterday so they saw his scars. He'd been too careless and forgotten he had to make a ridiculous lie, he even saw Link raising his eyebrow at him because he knew that was his worst lie yet after years of guarding him. And when Lenalee asked him that question he felt his heart stop, he remembered all those terrible things that- no he had no time to think about this. He needed to focus on the mission.

"Allen you alright you seem dazed?" Lavi asked as he saw Allen walking with a disheartened look on his face.

"Oh it's nothing," Allen replied with a smile on his face "Anyways, Link is there some sort of specific place where the disappearances appear more?"

Link looked at Allen at his question, "unfortunately, the finders haven't gained any further information to where the disappearances happen."

"Maybe we should go look for the finder unit here." Lavi suggested as he shrugged

Allen, Kanda and Link nodded as they went off...

A little while later...

Lenalee looked around the street as she walked with Miranda and Krory. The street was filled with people and different kind stalls. Nothing was wrong with the scene it seemed normal, too normal.

"Lenalee, nothing seems to be out of the ordinary here" Miranda shyly pointed out.

"Yeah, nothing seems to be wrong here" Krory added

"Maybe we should ask around..." Lenalee suggested

Miranda and Krory nodded as Lenalee approached a woman who was sweeping her doorsteps next to a stall.

"Excuse me madam, Can we ask you a question?" Lenalee politely asked.

The woman turned around, "Oh, sure go ahead."

"Did something strange happen around here?" Lenalee asked

"Oh, Patricia's son did disappear last week." She replied after she gave some thought.

Lenalee turned her head to Krory and Miranda as she smiled. Miranda and Krory nodded as Lenalee turned her head back to the woman.

"May we ask where this Patricia lives?" Lenalee asked

"She lives near the edge of town, you can't miss it" She said

"Thanks for your help!" Lenalee exclaimed as she gave out a smile

"Oh, no problem..." She replied.

Lenalee returned to Miranda and Krory, "You guys go and tell Allen that we may have found a lead, I'll go ahead" Lenalee said. They nodded and took off. When they were already far off the woman stopped sweeping and approached a stall near her.

"Did they fell for it?" a shadow behind the stall asked.

"Yes, Master Noah" The woman said as she bowed.

The shadow grinned as it stepped out in the light to reveal the Noah of Dreams, Road Camelot in her white form. "Good, prepare the things needed" She ordered the akuma.

"Yes, Master Noah..." The akuma responded as it disappeared

"Hehe~ I can't wait~" Road whispered to herself as she skipped happily through the street.
