Mizu: Another chapter completed! I hope you like it! Disclaimer time: I don't own -Man. If I did, Kanda wouldn't have been the one that nearly ended Allen's time as an exorcist.

Innocence's True Form

Chapter three: Another Awakens

"Allen!" Lavi called as he trotted up to the feasting boy.

Allen tried to looked up at the redhead as he entered the cafeteria only to have another plate of food shoved in his face. Glaring at his innocence, Allen continued to try and fill his bottomless pit of a stomach. The Crown Clown smirked from his seat on the table and then turned his attention to the young bookman. He smiled when he spotted Lavi's innocence.

"What can I do for you?" the Crown Clown questioned.

"I was wondering if you could answer some of my questions," Lavi stated, sitting across from Allen, "That old panda would kill me if I didn't get as much info as possible."

"Panda? Oh! The old man!" The Crown Clown exclaimed, glancing back at Allen who had stopped eating for a second, "Keep eating, baka."

"What? I've never eaten this much before! Why do I have to now!" Allen demanded.

"Cause I was being nice and holding back my energy needs so that your body wouldn't have so much stress put on it," the Crown Clown stated, "But now I'm in need for a lot of energy."

"But can't you just eat now?" Lavi questioned.

"It's not that simple. Yeah, I can eat a little but my form can't process a lot of food," the Crown Clown sighed, "Plus most of my energy has to be my wielders or I can't use it. That's just how it is. His body has to process it then I use it."

"I can't take another bite…" Allen groaned, looking at the towering stacks of unfinished food.

"You'll eat it even if I have to force it down your throat!" the Crown Clown snapped.

"So I take it that this new form uses a lot more energy than your other forms," Lavi stated.

"No," the Crown Clown stated, shoving four sticks of dango into Allen's mouth, "I'm trying to store some energy now that I have this form."

"Store it?" both boys questioned.

"Yes. That way you don't have to worry about running out of steam for the next battle you're in and I can stay in this form for a much longer period of time," the Crown Clown explained.

"That's one thing I'd like to know, C.C. Why did you choose now to appear in your truest form?" Lavi questioned.

"C.C.?" the Crown Clown questioned.

"It's easier than saying Crown Clown all of the time," Lavi beamed.

"So you've given me a nickname just like baka here," C.C. stated.

"Hey!" Allen snapped only to have a fork full of spaghetti to be shoved into his mouth.

"To answer your question, look at Allen. How old is he?" C.C. smirked.

"Sixteen," Lavi answered.

"Yes. Six-teen," C.C. stated, "He's a teenager."

"So?" both questioned.

"Puberty?" C.C. asked.

The two teens looked at each other and then at the man sitting on the table confused. C.C. sighed. Why did he have to explain such things?

"For a bookman, Lavi, you tend to be pretty dense," C.C. sighed, "Look. Baka here is going through puberty, right?"

"Right," the boys agreed.

"Baka, less talk, more eat," C.C. ordered, "Anyways, that's normally a pretty stressful time on the mind and body by itself, right?"

"Sure," Lavi chuckled.

"But imagine it for a parasitic type wielder. Their bodies are already pushed far beyond their limits that they should be able to handle," C.C. explained, "Now, a parasitic type that hasn't become fully linked with it's accommodator will normally just lower their synchronization and rarely be able to activate. Hevlaska will also very often remove the innocence from the accommodator's body to limit the amount of stress.

But for those that have fully linked together, these situations can be extremely dangerous for the accommodator. The lowering of the synchronization can cause the wielder to be very weak, sickly, and often passing out. When the innocence is removed by Hevlaska, the accommodator, in the best of conditions, will go into a coma the second their innocence is separated from their body. Under all other conditions, the accommodator would either become almost completely paralyzed or die."

Allen nearly choked on a roll, "W-What?"

"It's true," C.C. stated, staring at the white haired boy, "Besides, should Hevlaska ever remove me from you, even if we weren't fully linked, you'd die."

"W-Why's that?" the teenagers demanded.

C.C. just tapped Allen's chest above his heart, "That, baka. That hole in your heart that part of me sits in. If I would leave your body, you'd die almost instantly."

"B-But-" Allen started to question.

"No, baka. Me being in my human form is far different. I'm still completely connected to you. If I really needed to, I could change back into your arm in an instant and be at your side," C.C. smiled, "But there is a set back from me being in this form."

"What is it?" Lavi questioned.

"Should Allen ever get further than about a quarter mile away, he'll start to go into shock and extreme pain," C.C. stated, a serious gleam in his eyes.

"But I wasn't that far from you in Hevlaska's chamber!" Allen snapped.

"True but the probing from Hevlaska hurts if you are an accommodator and you don't have your innocence," C.C. chuckled, "She was searching for innocence in your body when there wasn't much. So your body was sending out distress signals to me trying to get me back. The piece of me in your heart was responding to Hevlaska fully while also trying to pull me back into your body."

C.C. smiled as he ruffled Allen's hair, "Plus your body is under so much stress that any distance between us could cause some pain."

Allen pouted and picked up another plate before closing his eyes. There was no way that that was everything but he chose not to dwell on it. He instead decided to try and sift through some of the Crown Clown's memories for a bit while Lavi questioned his innocence.

"So, C.C., can you tell when an accommodator and innocence are about to become fully linked?" Lavi questioned.

"Yes. Yes I can," C.C. smirked.

"Then who do you think will be the next one to fully link?" Lavi asked, eye sparkling.

"Uh…Well, Timothy's innocence is rather close to linking with him," C.C. thought aloud, "I know that he can see his innocence in it's human form but I think it will probably be after he passes through puberty before they fully link."

"What about Lenalee? She's the first ever crystal type," Lavi pointed out.

"No, although she's a lot closer than Timothy," C.C. sighed, "She still hasn't fully come to grips with the Dark Boots feelings. Dreams and wishes are the same but emotions still need work."

"Then who!" Lavi fidgeted in his seat.

"Well, I'd have to say that either Kanda and Mugen or Miranda and Time Record," C.C. stated, "Though, I'm willing to put money down on the first of the two. Miranda is still extremely paranoid about everything."

"So Mugen or Time Record…interesting," Lavi pondered, "What about Kuro-chan's? What will happen when they do?"

"Krory and his Vampire Fangs? He'll probably take some of Krory's blood and a lot of akuma's blood to form his body. Can't really take out his teeth," C.C. laughed.

"But you can take my arm?" Allen snapped.

"Ah, so you're finally finished!" C.C. clapped, "Let's go then."

"Go where?" Allen questioned as C.C. dragged the poor boy out of the cafeteria.

"To the bathhouse," C.C. smirked, "I've been dieing for a bath for so long!"

Lavi waited until the two finally disappeared down the hallway before sprinting for Komui's office. He couldn't wait to tell everyone what he had found out. Especially Miranda and Kanda. This was turning out to be a great day.

"Guys!" Lavi shouted as he bounded through the messing office.

"What did you find out, Lavi?" Komui questioned.

"C.C. can tell when an accommodator and innocence are about to fully link!" Lavi exclaimed, waving his arms excitedly.

"C.C.?" Marie questioned.

"Probably Crown Clown," Krory stated.

"So who's next?" Lenalee asked, fidgeting on the edge of her seat.

"Either Kanda and Mugen," Lavi said, an evil smirk growing upon his face, "Or Miranda and Time Record."

"I knew you couldn't keep your mouth shut," C.C.'s voice sighed from the doorway.

Everyone slowly turned to see Allen stretching tiredly while C.C. leaned against the doorway. Lavi gulped as he caught sight of C.C.'s guard.

"Um…ah…you see," Lavi tried to explain.

Allen smirked and plopped down on the couch. He crossed his legs and watched the scene unfold. Lavi was desperately trying to explain himself to his innocence while C.C. held onto his glare. Biting down on his lip, Allen struggled not to laugh. He let his eyes drift over to where Kanda was standing, suppressing his own laugh. Never did he think that he'd ever see the day when Kanda would laugh. Still didn't but now it didn't seem so unreal. Closing his eyes, Allen chuckled and tried to relax.

Suddenly, he felt a sudden rush of power flood his system. Snapping his eyes open he jumped up and turned to his innocence. Both accommodator and weapon stared at each other before their eyes widened through some sort of secret understanding. The two quickly made their way over to Kanda, who was now almost interested in the two.

"What do you want, Moyashi?" Kanda sighed.

"Activate Mugen," Allen and C.C. ordered.

"What?" Kanda questioned.

"Just do it!" they snapped, "We want to see if we were right about something!"

Sighing, Kanda slowly unsheathed Mugen. It felt a little lighter than usual. If that wasn't weird enough, it seemed to be pulsing a little. Raising an eyebrow, Kanda activated his innocence.

There was a sudden, bright, blue light that filled the office. Everyone ducked to behind whatever they could to shield their eyes. What was going on?

"Finally," a feminine voice sighed, "I thought he'd never figure this stuff out."

Mizu: Sorry for the short chapter. I've been so busy with everything this past week that i haven't had anytime to type. I know that today isn't Innocence's True Form's day but I haven't had a chance to upload it until now. I hope you guys enjoy!

Lavi: So Kanda's was next. When is it going to be Miranda's turn?

Mizu: Soon. I'm really gonna like hers. *semi-evil laughter*

Allen: A feminine voice...*snickers* I knew it...

C.C.: Remember, baka, nothing is ever set in stone.

Mizu: Actually, that is.

Kanda: What the fuckin' hell?

Mizu: Remember I welcome all types of reviews. Ciao for now!
