Last time on Chaos in the Order.
"I don't fucking care what you have to say, Moyashi." He told Allen in a rough voice, "I'm taking you to the Bakufu headquarters where you will be dealt with."
Allen was pushed forward as the samurai walked behind him, his sword still aimed at his back. It seemed as if Allen's luck had run out. What were the chances of being caught by a lone samurai in the middle of the night in a deserted alley? Surely it was one in a million, but no, Allen was caught covered in blood with a sword in his hand. A sword that was illegal in Edo. Allen let out a long sigh, his head lowered in defeat. This wasn't how things were supposed to go.
Allen glanced back at his captor. Summoning up some courage, he said, "My name is Allen. What's your name?"
The samurai let out a Tch, and glared at Allen, "I don't give a fuck about your name, Moyashi. You're the lowest of the low, so from now on your name is Moyashi."
Allen glared right back at him, "You didn't answer my question, bastard."
"If you must have a name, you can call me the executioner, because I'll gladly chop off your head for what you have done."
Allen had never been more irritated in his life. You could visibly see his face twitch in anger. He was about to make a witty remark when footsteps were heard rushing toward them.
"Kanda!" One of the samurai rushing toward them shouted.
"Oh, your name is Kanda? Ne, Executioner-san?" Allen smirked back at Kanda.
Kanda let out another Tch, and glared at the samurai in front of them, "What the fuck do you want?" He asked them.
The one that shouted his name spoke up first, "There seems to be a riot in one of the local taverns."
"You came all the way out here to tell me about a drunkard getting unruly in a tavern? Why didn't you take care of it yourselves? Are you all fucking stupid? Fix it yourselves!" He shouted at them. When he was done with his rant, all of the samurai were rushing to follow his orders.
"Hey, Kanda, That wasn't very nice." Allen said.
"Says the person who murdered five people in an empty alley." Kanda replied, "And don't call me by my name, Moyashi."
Allen let out his own Tch as he was pushed forward once again. A strong feeling of dread came rushing to the surface, and Allen couldn't help but tremble as the feeling washed over him. How was he supposed to convince Kanda that he was innocent? If he told him the truth, he would surely think Allen was insane. He would gladly chop off his head, and even laugh at his demise.
Kanda was watching Allen have a battle with his inner thoughts. As he continued to push Allen forward, he let his own thoughts travel to what happened prior. He was simply patrolling the area when he heard the sound of swords clashing in the air. He had rushed to find the source when he came to an abrupt stop at the end of an alley. In the middle of the blood covered alley, stood the Moyashi, blood dripping from his snow white hair, and his breathing coming out in fast pants. He was truly a sight to behold, almost beautiful as he stood in the alley. He looked like a samurai from the days of old, when they would rise from the depths of hell covered in the blood of their enemies.
He was startled out of his thoughts, as the Moyashi dropped to his knees clutching his left arm. Kanda walked around him and said, "Oi, what the fuck are you doing?" He noticed the brats teeth clenched tight and the hold on his arm kept squeezing harder.
After a minute of ignoring Kanda's question, Allen replied, "You won't believe me if I told you the truth. So why should I tell you?"
Allen held in his groan of pain, as another throb wracked through his arm. His thoughts were in disorder as he tightened his hold on his arm. This shouldn't be happening. It was only a couple days ago that he strengthened his seal. The demon should have been sleeping in the recesses of his mind, gathering power for his next attempt to break free. He shouldn't be able to fight back this quickly in such a short amount of time. Allen wasn't prepared to fight back.
"You better tell me what's happening, or I'll kill you right now, Moyashi." Kanda told him.
Allen glared at him until he heard a loud cracking sound, and pain filled his senses. He let his discomfort be heard through a loud groan, as his fingers started to break and shift, turning into elongated claws. "You want…to know…what's happening?" Allen asked through his gasps of pain. "I have a demon sealed inside me and it's trying to break free. That's what is happening." He clenched his teeth as another bone in his hand made another loud snapping sound.
"You can't be serious. Demons don't exist in real life." Kanda said as he heard another loud crack, and Allen let out another groan.
Allen looked back up at him and then back to his arm. He pushed the sleeve of his kimono down and bared his left arm for Kanda to see. "Then what do you make of this?" Allen asked through gritted teeth as his arm turned crimson red. His arm trembled and his elbow jutted out with a loud crack, and Allen let out a scream of pain. His bones kept shifting underneath his skin, and Kanda could see each one as it moved.
He couldn't believe what he was seeing. This shouldn't be possible. He smacked his cheeks and rubbed his eyes, but Allen was still kneeling on the ground clutching his arm in agony. "How do we fix it?" He asked Allen.
"I need to go back to my home, and get Lavi to help me." He said through clenched teeth.
"You need the baka usagi? What does that worthless book worm have to do with you?" Kanda asked incredulously.
"You'll find out later. Just help me get to my house. It's around the corner. We need to hurry."
Kanda helped Allen up to his feet and turned in the direction Allen pointed. Every couple steps Allen would groan out in pain and his arm would flash a bright red. His body was trembling against Kanda's and he noticed just how thin Allen truly was. He grinned to himself as he realized just how fitting the nickname Moyashi really was. They rounded a corner, and Kanda could see an old rundown dojo at the end of the pathway. A kid was sitting in front of the gates, and he perked up as he noticed them walking toward him. He ran forward as he noticed Allen draped across Kanda's shoulders.
"Nii-san," He shouted to Allen.
"Timothy, I need you to get Lavi. He should still be at that little ramen stand we eat at." The boy nodded, and raced off to find Lavi.
Allen guided Kanda through the gates and toward his bedroom. Kanda helped lower him to his bed, and glanced around for something to do as he waited. Allen kept clutching his arm, and Kanda felt out of place. He didn't know what to do, or how to act. He was submerged in a fictional tale. Demons didn't exist. The only demons he knew of were the people he arrested on the streets.
"Allen!" Lavi burst through the door and ran right up to Allen.
"Lavi, the demon is stronger than before." Allen groaned.
Kanda noticed Lavi grab a box from beside his bed. "I think we need to use more than one Innocence cube this time, Allen."
"Innocence?" Kanda asked aloud.
Lavi turned around, almost dropping the box in his hands. "Yuu, what are you doing here?"
Kanda growled low in his throat, "Don't call me by my first name, baka usagi!" He shouted.
"He caught me in an alley after I fought off some Akuma, Lavi." Allen whispered. "He was taking me to the Bakufu, when my seal started to fade."
"You don't have any luck do you, Allen?" He grabbed two cubes of Innocence, "Are you ready?" He asked Allen.
Allen nodded. Lavi placed the two cubes side by side right above his heart. As they started to submerge Allen's arm pulsed red and it shot out aiming for Lavi. He tried to change the pathway, but his arm was not in his control. Lavi let out a scream as Allen's claw like hand dragged across the right side of his face. Blood dripped to the floor as Lavi clutched his right eye, breathing hard as his body trembled.
He looked at Kanda and said, "Hold him down, Yuu. He can't control himself anymore."
Kanda let go of his tight grip on the hilt of his sword, and did as Lavi requested. He straddled Allen's waist and held both of Allen's arms down as he thrashed around on the bed. Lavi placed a bloody hand on the Innocence cubes and pushed down, trying to speed up the process. Allen let out a blood curdling scream as the cubes fully merged with his body. The pain in his body was almost mind numbing, be he couldn't pass out. Tears formed in his eyes and trailed down his cheeks as the pain in his body sky rocketed. He let out another scream as his whole body trembled with another wave of pain passed through him.
Kanda noticed Allen's lips moving and he leaned in to hear what he was saying. "I'm sorry, Lavi. I'm so sorry." He kept repeating sorry over and over with pleading pain filled eyes.
Kanda glanced back at Lavi. He was sitting against the wall with his hand covering his right eye, blood trailing through his fingers. "Are you going to be okay, Usagi?" He asked Lavi.
Lavi glanced toward Kanda and smirked, "It's just a flesh wound, Yuu. I'm so happy that you're worried about me!"
"Don't call me by my name! Baka Usagi!" He gave a Tch and glanced back at Allen.
He had calmed down but his body was still trembling. His arm and fingers were popping back into place with loud cracks. But what scared Kanda the most was the lifeless eyes gazing at Lavi. He didn't know the kid, but when Kanda was in his presence the Moyashi always had eyes that were alight with fire. Not these dull lifeless eyes.
"Usagi, fix him." Kanda told Lavi.
"I already fixed him, Kanda." He said.
"I mean make him feel better. He has the eyes of a dead fish. Fix him." He glared at Lavi.
Lavi stared at him in disbelief, "Did you just show some feelings?"
As per usual Kanda let out a rather loud Tch. It seemed to be his habit since he found the Moyashi in the alley. "Just fix him, Usagi." He got up and stormed out of the room, leaving Lavi to talk to Allen.
Lavi pushed himself off the wall and walked toward Allen. Stooping down to his level, he patted Allen's face to get his attention. Those dull eyes glanced up at his face. "Allen…"Lavi started to say. He took in another breath and continued, "Allen, I don't blame you. This is not your fault, okay?" Allen kept gazing at him with those lifeless eyes. "Allen don't go down this road. You must persevere. Don't stop walking forward." He whispered. A light sparked in Allen's eyes, and a few more tears ran down his cheeks. Lavi heard him whisper Mana, but then he rolled over, turning his back on Lavi.
Lavi sighed and walked out of the room to find Kanda standing outside. "How's the kid?" Kanda asked him.
"I think he needs some time alone." Lavi whispered.
"Are you going to tell me what the fuck just happened? Or do I need to make my own assumptions?" Kanda growled.
"Only if you help me bandage my eye and let me sleep for an eternity." He replied.
Kanda let out a sigh of defeat and followed Lavi to a spare bedroom. He'll just have to wait till tomorrow to figure out what was happening.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart! You may be just the few who liked my story, but to me it feels like a hundred people liked it. Again, Thank You!
So for those who just started reading Chaos in the Order. Did you like it? Do you think it's a piece of shit? Please, tell me! I sincerely want to improve my writing skills.
On another note, Silly Me, I wrote Bakufu as Bafuku in chapter one. I corrected it here, but have yet to do so on chapter one. I am so sorry. But for those of you wondering Bakufu means "tent office". It's pretty much the higher authorities in Edo.
Anyways, Thanks for reading!
Red.
