Right then, I guess I got a little carried away by summer vacation that I forgot about this. I'm really sorry guys! I'm such a bad author ; m ; And after I promised I would update more. Ugh, I'm despicable . . . Anyways here's the new Chappie~ ; u ;
It's a short one, I know XD I'll try making the next one longer.
"Allen Walker, Inspector Lvellie wishes to see you in Komui's office"
The exorcists, excluding Allen, stood in shock. He was the one that took Allen away. They haven't seen him for 2 years, only receiving updates from a minor Central Officer. To hear him finally coming back, was quite a shock, although, the look on Allen's was void of any emotion.
"H-he's back?" Lenalee felt her body shake in fear. Her little trauma of the man was still there. She thought she already had built enough confidence to withstand the intimidating man, but she was wrong. Even his name made her shiver. Lenalee felt a hand rubbing her back, in an attempt to soothe her. She turned her head and saw Lavi with a dark expression on his face.
"Understood, I'll head there immediately." Allen said professionally as the Crow nodded and left the room with the Central officers.
Kanda couldn't help but think, 'Isn't this the part where they constrict him in seals?'. But it looked like he was wrong. They left with no other word. No seals, no spells, no chains. It just seemed new to him. Well it was the good kind of new and not the bad one.
"Allen, you sure you're gonna go?" Lavi asked the White haired teen.
"I have to, he called for me. I'm sure you know how important that is Lavi." Allen said, his eyes shadowed by his white bangs.
"I know but. . ." Lavi bit his lip, in all of the years he lived as an apprentice of Bookman, A person who almost knew everything in history. A person with great wisdom in which, that wisdom will be passed to him. In all of his years of his life, everything he knew became useless during that moment. He didn't know what to say to the white haired y teenager in front of him.
Allen sighed, "It's just . . . A quick meeting, it won't be that bad . . . I guess. . ." His previous cheeriness gone in a flash.
They all stood in silence as a heavy atmosphere settles among them. Allen broke it when walked towards the door, his hand resting on the doorknob as he was pulled back by an unexpected person.
"Moyashi . . . You. . ." Kanda muttered, gripping Allen's arm. Allen stood in shock but, shook it away soon enough.
"I'll be fine . . . And it's Allen, Bakanda." Allen smiled calmly before pulling his hand away from Kanda. He exited the Training Grounds and left the exorcists in silence. Kanda stood straight again, staring at the door before muttering a quiet 'Tch.'
Lenalee wanted to chase after him, but her legs kept on shaking in fear. Her heart was beating fast and she was scared of what would happen to Allen. She felt so useless. That feeling was horrible.
A blanket of silence enwrapped the 3 exorcists until one of them spoke, "Raise your hands if you want to eavesdrop with me~" Lavi chirped, raising his hand. The other exorcists quickly raised their hands, albeit Kanda did so reluctantly.
'I am getting in sooo much trouble. . .' Lavi thought comically but he knew Allen needed them right now.

To say he was nervous was a big overestimated statement. After 'working' with the man for two years, he grew numb from the anxiousness he felt from the man before. He knew the man would just enjoy his fear and pain either way. He walked in a fair pace in the halls towards Komui's office, which happened to be at the end of the long corridor. There wasn't anyone else in the hallways so the atmosphere felt cold and lonely. He reached for the door knob of Komui's office when he heard Komui ranting inside.
"What are you talking about? He's been gone for 2 years; Of course I would be worried!" Komui's voice sound angry and tired at the same time. Then he heard 'his' voice.
"I assure you Komui, we have assured Walker's 'safety' while he was with us."Inspector Lvellie said calmly. He felt like he could see his sick grin through the thick wood of the doors.
"And I can assure you Inspector that I see differences in the Allen Walker now and before." He said with a knowing voice. Allen's eyes widened in surprise to what Komui said. Did Komui really see through him? He took the silence that came after as his cue to knock on the door.
"General Allen Walker present," He said as he swiftly entered the room, "What did you call me for Inspector?"
Allen inspected the scene in front of him. Lvellie was sitting calmly on the couch which was in front of Komui's desk. Komui stood up, his fists clenched on his desk; evident that he had stood up and slammed his desk in frustration not too long ago, While Link was standing professionally behind the Inspector.
"Ah Walker how nice of you to finally join us," The Inspector said with a sick smile. "How was your long term mission?" Allen knew he didn't even care with the lack of concern in his voice when he asked.
"It was successful; no huge threats were encountered during the mission." Allen said, wearing one of his legendary poker faces. The Inspector clapped his hands in satisfaction.
"Good, I believe you've been doing your Title of General quite fine, yes?" He asked, keeping up his charade of fake happiness and concern.
Allen nodded, "Link and I have acquired seven pieces of innocence in our long term mission. Fortunately, no Noahs appeared to challenge us."
"Excellent work Walker, I see that promoting you wasn't as useless as I thought." Lvellie studied the boy's appearance and how it had change over the years. Gone was the naive little boy, it was now replaced by a mature young man who had seen nearly everything. His little 'experiment' was going quite well indeed.
Komui watched the quiet exchange between the men in front of him. Noticing how Allen stood and answered his questions with no doubt or hesitation in his voice. He couldn't but help to miss the old Allen who had the most innocent eyes and the most naive thoughts. But, he was quite impressed by the boy's renewed determination and maturity.
"By the way, how is 'he'?" The Inspector asked smiling a sick grin. Komui saw the slight shock in Allen's eyes as his calm demeanour trembled for a little bit.
Allen clenched his fists at the question, "He is doing quite fine, Inspector." He tried not to use too much venom in his voice. Komui stood there confused to what they were talking about.
"I do believe I have the right to know what you are talking about Inspector." Komui asked curiosity evident in his words.
"You'll find out sooner or later Branch Head Komui." Lvellie grinned at him. Komui bit his lip in an effort on not to lash out on the Inspector. "Speaking of which, may I talk to him Walker?"
Allen eyes widened at the Inspector's request. Indeed, this man was too cruel.

"I don't get what they're talking about." Lenalee whispered leaning on the door, trying to make out the voices inside. They've been listening in to their conversation for awhile now, but it was quite hard through the thick wood of the door.
"I can hear their voices, but only faintly. They're talking about someone though." Lavi muttered as he too leaned against the door, trying hard to make out the voices in the room. Kanda was not that participative though, he was just leaning casually on the wall in front of the room, watching the two eavesdrop at the meeting on the other side of the door.
"Tch . . . Don't blame me when you guys get in trouble." Kanda said as he rolled his eyes at the two.
"But Yuu took the trouble to follow us, does that mean you care for the Beansprout too?~" Lavi chirped in a soft voice, making sure the people on the other side don't hear them. In an instant Mugen's blade reached for Lavi's chin.
"You really have a fucking death wish, don't you Baka Usagi? " Kanda threatened as he shot a deadly glare to Lavi.
"Alright Alright I surrender~" Lavi quietly said, raising his hands in surrender. Kanda withdrew Mugen as he muttered a small "tch" and went back to leaning against the wall, watching the two listen in to the conversation on the other side of the door.
"Quiet guys, they're talking!" Lenalee ushered as she leaned against the door.
"What is the meaning of this Inspector?" Komui's voice tainted with a vague hint of anger.
"I believe you can make sense of it if you just look at it" The Inspector replied plainly as he smirked.
"Firstly, Allen Walker is not an 'it' and second, I do think this requires an explanation Inspector." Komui retorted angrily as he slammed his fists against his table again.
"You're over reacting Komui." A new voice said. It didn't sound like Allen, it sounded mature yet it had a small tone of mischievousness in it.
"Don't call me that as if you know me, you bastard." Komui retorted to the man. The 3 exorcists who were eavesdropping were quite shock at the anger and frustration that was evident in Komui's voice. The old cheery and annoying Komui was the one they were used to. To hear him speak in such malice was quite surprising. It just proved that the man in front of him wasn't in his favour.
"My my, such vulgarity. . . Mister Lee~" The person said, not affected by Komui's angry outburst.
"Enough, I knew you had done something to him. What did you do to him!" Komui retorted, ignoring the man and focused on the Inspector.
"Hmm, seems you caught me. I only did a bit of tweaking of course. No 'real' damage well somewhat. Besides, with him as our ally, he'll be our trump card in this war." The Inspector said shifting his view from the person to Komui. "With him, we're guaranteed to win this war."
Komui clenched his fists in anger as he tried to lash out on the Inspector but was stopped when the mysterious person spoke again.
"May I suggest, before we continue, we handle the little eavesdroppers right outside the door?" His voice sounded melodic as he told the others.
Lenalee immediately shifted and backed away from the door. Even Kanda seemed slightly surprised as he stood up straight. Lavi immediately stood up and tried to escape but was caught when Link opened the door. The Inspector smiled at them while Komui was slightly surprised. Kanda muttered a low 'tch' when they learned they were discovered.
Lenalee backed away a little, anxiousness building up in her system. She felt a gentle hand on her shoulder and she saw Lavi, "It'll be alright, they won't punish as that much. Besides, it's for Allen, remember?" Lavi whispered as he tried to relax the shaking girl. Lenalee nodded and looked back to Link who stepped aside and let the Inspector and Komui see them.
"Now now, how about instead of listening in, you get inside and join our little talk?" The Inspector smirked at them. The exorcists stood as they watched Komui shift and sit back down on his chair.
It was not long after, Lavi came in the room, the others following as they entered the room. They saw another occupant in the room. His face was shadowed by the dim light in the corner of the room as he stood by there, leaning against the wall. Lavi couldn't make out any specific features, only that he had black hair and gold eyes. He couldn't help but compare them to that of a Noah.
"Now, I won't punish you for eavesdropping but," The Inspector looks over to the stranger in the corner of the room. "I think this is the perfect time to tell you exorcists." He smirked.
"Tell us what, you bastard?" Kanda said, his voice stained with anger.
"Kanda, Please avoid speaking such vulgar words." Komui said, although to be honest, he didn't really care. He wanted to curse at the man for making everyone's life miserable, especially Allen's.
Lvellie coughed, "As I was saying, we have acquired a new and valuable, if I do say so myself, asset in this war." Lvellie smiled a sick grin as he looked back at the exorcists.
Lenalee could feel as though she could puke any moment as she saw the man's smile. Although, she knew she had to pay attention. This man, she couldn't help but have a bad feeling about him. It was like he was brewing up a storm again. Lenalee tried to stay strong and stand confident as she listened.
"But before that Inspector, I'd like to ask where's Allen, we saw him enter this room but right now, it appears he's not here anymore." Lavi boldly asked. He saw the Inspector smirk yet again and the man in the corner looking away in what seemed to be . . .sadness?
"Oh~ I guarantee you, he's still in this room." The Inspector said his voice sounding evil to the others.
Lenalee tilted her head in confusion, "What? But he doesn't seem to be here. . ." Lenalee gulped as she looked away from the Inspector. Her sudden confidence when she asked that disappeared in a flash as she started to shake slightly.
The Inspector started to laugh, "Why don't you show yourself Walker?" he said looking over to the man in corner. The person clenched his fists but soon sighed and walked into the light.
"No. . .It can't be. . ." Kanda muttered to himself as they watched the man walk towards them. Now that the light shone on his face, it showed that he had gray skin and stigmata that lined across his forehead. It was obvious that this man was a Noah. But what surprised the exorcists more was how he looked just like Allen. The tiny features on his face only made him look different. That was when two ideas connected.
"I-impossible. . ." Lenalee said covering her mouth slightly as she stared at him in shock.
"My name is Neah Walker, pleasure to meet you."
