Chapter 3

Explanations and Lessons

October 3
Friday: 3:00pm- Black Order Boarding School

Allen was set up in Jerry's apartment; he would get his assigned room once classes started up. Because of the lessons he went through with his Uncle Mana he was on the same level as a 3rd year of the school. Allen sat under the school's statue of the first Headmaster and the Vice-Headmaster. He sighed, bored and utterly lost.

"Man, why does this place have to be so bloody large!" he muttered to himself.

"Having trouble, Moyashi?" a superior voice asked, Allen felt his blood boil.

"Of all the people to find me, it had to be BaKanda…"

-Hey, hey, kittens don't forget about little old me!-

"Thank the gods, Rascal!" Allen said, not noticing the gathering dark aura around Kanda.

-The one and only! Now, Yuu-kun, be nice and don't…oh great, he's pissed…Allen, best of luck kitten, this tom's outta here!- Rascal said, leaping off of Kanda and dashing into the darkness of the school. Allen looked back and gulped.

"K-Kanda?"

"Just run, Moyashi…and make it enjoyable at least."

Allen ran.

Kanda pursued.

Timcampy recorded.

After an hour of running Allen found a small courtyard, his lungs burning. Feeling human fatigue setting in he dove behind a fountain and looked up to see an old man sitting in mediation. He blinked and then jumped feeling something touch his shoulder, it was Rascal's tail. Rascal purred, causing the old man to stir and look down. Dark gray eyes met bright silvery-gray; Allen smiled and found a gentle smile in return. Allen made to rise when he heard an unmistakable growl…

"Found you, Moyashi!"

Allen paled. Rascal blinked and looked back at Kanda. The cat took note of Kanda's bright eyes, bright not out of bloodlust…but, out of something else that the cat couldn't place. As soon as his eyes met Allen's, that brightness shifted. Allen felt something take hold and pull, but before he could move a strong smooth hand grasped his wrist. Shocking both teens as the owner of the hand stood. With a stern, but gentle look to Kanda he spoke.

"You must be, Allen Walker. It's a pleasure I am Kevin Yeegar, the Home Economics Teacher here."

Kanda's eyes were wide and when Allen looked back to him all he saw was the end of Kanda's sheath, the tip of his long ponytail and the flap of his long coat. Yeegar seemed worried, but quickly focused back on Allen. Rascal watched the scene with a knowing eye; things were starting to play out. Allen blinked up at the senior teacher and nodded. Tim appeared and landed on Rascal's back, panting. The cat took pity on the poor golem and patted it with his tail.

"The pleasure's all mine, sir. I hope to have an excellent school year."

Yeegar smiled warmly, already liking the new student. Allen got a puzzled look.

"Sir, what happened to Kanda's eyes?"

"The vampire ability to hypnotize their victims. I heard you are half human, so the effect wasn't as profound. The most that would have happened would have been you would get there half way and wouldn't have been so entranced that you wouldn't have had the strength to fight back."

Allen nodded then looked around.

"Sir, where are we?"

"Technically, we are in the main courtyard's garden. Would you like a tour of the school?"

"Please!"

Yeegar chuckled, remembering his first year in the school. Placing a warm hand on Allen's shoulder he started to guide the youth through the hallways. He started to tell the story of their school, Rascal on Allen's shoulders, Tim on his head.

"1,000 years ago, a group of young rulers formed our school. Their goal was to make a safe place for those of non-human blood to pursue an education that would help them in the human world. The mastermind behind the idea became our first Headmaster; a shinigami by the name of Lucas Walker. At his side was the, then, current ruler of the vampires, Ryuusei Kanda the first Vice-Headmaster. Three other figures stood with those two, Yvonne Bookman the female werewolf ruler, Hex Karma the devil ruler and Adam Noah ruler of the demons. Now, the five weren't the only rulers of that time, but in our school's history they are credited with its founding. Tragedy struck the founders when Adam Noah started to train a select group to kill humans instead of live peacefully among them."

-I remember the founders, Allen. I was just entering adulthood when this glorious school was erected. Adam, hated humans, demons were the most prosecuted of all the non-human races so it was natural that he hate. He didn't have to go that far though. What the records never told anyone was that this school originally was for those of mixed blood, Lucas had twins that were half human. He wanted them to live with others peacefully and made this school for them. It grew to a place where blood didn't matter. Then Adam…damn his hatred. He slaughtered all the Halflings that went here. Said it was a message to not mix the bloods. Lucas lost his twins…After that; the Noah Clan was removed from rulership and cast out. Adam took his cursed brood and disappeared. As far as anyone knows, they simply don't exist anymore.-

Allen focused on what Yeegar was saying as Rascal only sent those thoughts to Allen. Yeegar had apparently stopped at a portrait. Allen stopped next to him and sucked in a breath. Tim's wings fluttered with excitement.

The five standing in the frame were…perfect. In the center sat a male with long flowing blood red hair, glittering coal black eyes showed mirth. In front of him laying with his feline body on display was Rascal, blue eyes bright as the sun. To the center males right stood a gold eyed male, long dark blue hair held in a low ponytail that draped over his right shoulder. To the center's left stood a female, long lavender hair fell in waves over her shoulders, bright green eyes shimmering with wisdom. On the far right was a male with jet black hair that swept to his mid-back, random streaks of violet could be seen and bright violet eyes shone with childish intent. The last figure on the far left was tanned with bright yellow eyes that spooked Allen; wavy black hair fell to his shoulders and was held in a half-ponytail. Allen read the plaque underneath.

Lucas, Ryuusei, Hex, Yvonne and Adam: Our Founders and Dearest Friends.

Scratched underneath was…

Also, the infernal lord of the floors: Tarsus

Allen couldn't help it…he laughed. Rascal looked downright proud of himself. Yeegar chuckled and nodded his head.

"And what would our school be like without our mascot?"

-Too boring, Kevin…way too boring.-

"You are correct, Aetas, my old friend."

Allen looked surprised, fiddling with the edge of his shirt, he shyly glanced up.

"Sir, who can hear Rascal?"

"Any who are of the same race as the five founders. So, 5 students including yourself, including myself, 4 teachers and both wards of the school."

"Wards?"

"Ah, 'Wards' are young children raised or taken in by the school. There are two, one is the child of a teacher and the other was abandoned on the statue outside the front doors. Found the child tucked away in the crooked arm of the Vice-Headmaster, only when the groundskeeper went out to check on the statue did he find the infant."

Allen hummed and heard his stomach growl. Rascal jumped and looked around, wondering when someone angered a werewolf, Tim sweatdropped and Yeegar looked down at an embarrassed Allen.

"Uh…*ahem* time for lunch?"

Rascal's jaw dropped.

*-Switch to the field where Kanda ran to-*

Lavi, Alma, Aryastar and Lenalee all jumped when a disgruntled Kanda sat himself in a slight panic between Aryastar and Alma. The devil having known the vampire since the day he was born knew how to read Yuu Kanda like his favorite book. Aryastar having known the young vampire since before either came to the school knew when his younger cousin was distressed. Lenalee just knew that Kanda's eyes seemed shifting between emotions. Lavi could read just about anyone after knowing them for a month and gulped in slight fear.

"Yuu, what happened?" Alma asked, concern evident.

"I…holy shit…not…Moyashi…bloodlust…dazed…"Kanda muttered, Alma grabbed his upper arm.

"What? Allen! What you do to my precious future lover?"

Lavi and the others stared at him.

"Alma, give it up. You and Allen becoming a couple are as impossible as Komui getting over his sister complex…" Lavi said dryly pointing over his shoulder to the not-so-hidden elder brother in the bushes…with a large drill. Aryastar nodded in agreement. Looking back to his younger cousin, he lowly spoke.

"Did you try to hypnotize, Allen-kun, Kanda?"

Kanda mutely nodded, Aryastar patted his shoulder reassuringly.

"It's perfectly explainable…tonight is the New Moon, remember?"

"The night our bloodlust tends to spike…great, now I got to stay away from the damn Moyashi!"

Aryastar could only smile sadly. Lavi snickered at Alma's pout. Lenalee glared at her brother.

6:50pm- The Ark

The Earl sat in his rocking chair knitting a new scarf for Wisely, next to him were scarves for the other members of his precious Clan. Road wrapped her arms around him from behind. The two demonic being shared a knowing laugh. Lero appeared out of the shadows.

"Dear Earl, who will 'Welcome' this generation? The Akuma's are getting restless…"

Road bounced into The Earl's lap, Lero's right eyebrow twitched. The Earl rocked with the young girl in his lap while thinking.

" Just you Lero…"

Lero bowed low, before he could disappear to gather his Akuma, The Earl spoke again.

"Lero, be sure to make it seem hopeless won't you?"

Fading into shadows Lero smiled devilishly, "I'll be sure to give them a proper 'Welcome', dear Earl."

Road grinned, she loved that pumpkin haired assassin sometimes.

7:30pm- Black Order Boarding School

Kanda hated New Moons.

1) Bloodlust was irritating as hell

2) The Moyashi looked damn tasty

3) Lavi was even more of an idiot {if that was even possible}

4) Did he mention that the Moyashi looked tasty…

And to top it off…he felt more than thirst for the damn Moyashi.

"Hell no…I Yuu Kanda am not lusting after that damned Moyashi…"

Fate wasn't kind to Kanda...no it wasn't. Rascal watched Kanda pace the hallway, making sure to keep a lookout for Allen.

-Yuu-kun…kitten, calm down before you really hurt yourself…or some poor bypasser…either way, I really don't want blood and other body parts on the rug.-

"Sorry, Rascal…wait, what the hell do you mean by hurt myself?"

-Nothing…absolutely nothing…- Rascal replied, smirking.

"Damn cat…all right, the only thing I got to do is-"

Both cat and vampire jumped as the alarm for Akuma attack sounded. Rascal took off, memories flashing through his head.

-Not again…no no no…Allen is the only Halfling in attendance! If those bastard Akuma lay even a hand on him…I know what I'm eating tonight!-

*-To Allen-*

Allen looked wildly around at the group of…demons? He didn't know who these guys were only that one minute he, Lavi, Alma, Lenalee and Aryastar were talking about who was in what year…Allen was a 3rd year…and the next they were surrounded.

"Akuma!" Alma hissed, rage barely concealed.

Allen shrank back closer to Aryastar, feeling a sharp pain in his disfigured right arm he winced. Lenalee noticed this and backed closer to Allen.

"Guys, Allen doesn't know how to fight Akuma!"

The others briefly paused; Lavi growled low.

"Then Allen…how good are you at watching and learning on the spot?"

"I was trained to fight, just never used it…" Allen admitted.

-KITTENS!-

The group looked to see a panther the size of a BMW land in front of them. No one moved.

Not even the Akuma.

"RASCAL?" The teens all shouted.

-Who else would be this epic? Please, if you kittens thought that I was a simple black cat…think again. This is my fighting form.-

"Well, well, well, Tarsus…it has been far too long." A snide voice said. The group froze as Lero walked out of the shadows, Akuma parted to let the now clad in black leather (A/N: Damn! Can someone draw that for me?) man forward. Rascal growled.

-Lero, I thought you disappeared with your family leader…murderer.-

"Oh, so cold…" Lero falsely shivered, "And here I was sent by the dear Earl to welcome this generation that we will be defeating."

"Says who?" Lavi cried. Lero's bright red eyes swept over the teens as if he just noticed them there. They lingered on Allen, who felt a pang of sadness at the despair that flashed.

"Says the Noah Clan, little werewolf." He said, coldness dripping from his voice. They all shivered.

"Now, let's see…we have a devil, vampire, werewolf, fairy…hybrid and Tarsus. Is this all?" Lero said clearly hoping for more.

-I'm sure you remember that most students fight in small teams…there more than this group of Akuma. Aren't there?-

"Yes." He answered flatly.

-Then the others won't be here…but, I assure you Lero…I won't be so soft on an old friend.-

The fight started almost immediately. Lero and Rascal started their own deadly dance. While the teens were separated. Allen stayed close to Aryastar as much as he could. His left arm pulsing with pain all the while. He looked over as Lavi shifted mid-way to his werewolf form.

"No full moon, he can only got partially." Aryastar muttered.

Lavi was now sporting a pair of rather large red wolf ears, a bushy wolf tail, clawed wolf feet and clawed hands. His fangs bared he launched into the fray. Alma had his black devil wings spread to full width and was fighting some of the more vicious airborne Akuma. Lenalee was…beautiful, butterfly wings adorned her back and only added to the deadly grace she gave off. Aryastar stood hair spiking out and aura flared, Allen took note that his long coat looked a little like bat wings along the edges. Hearing a snarl from his right Allen was separated from Aryastar. He went to block with his left arm as a reflex and felt immense pain as the Akuma bit into it. Crying out Allen fell with the monster on top him.

The others tried to react but their own respective fights kept them away.

(A/N: KANDA GET YOUR GIRLY ASS OVER HERE!)

Pushing the creature off, Allen was slightly repulsed at the sight of his arm. The red flesh was bubbling, black nails were slowly going white and his shoulder felt as if it was on fire. Seeing the bleeding bite mark, Allen cried.

He cried because of five things:

1) Mother fucker hurts!

2) He's going to kill his Uncle Cross for never actually hurting him

3) He wasn't prepared for pain

4) He's really going to kill his Uncle Cross

5) Where the hell was BaKanda?

Shifting to his feet Allen cringed and looked to the creature. It was…dead? Allen held his arm as he felt blinding pain.

Three things happened at that time.

1) Allen screamed.

2) Kanda came out of freaking nowhere and sliced through most of the Akuma with Mugen (A/N: PMS-ing much?)

3) Kanda caught Allen, when the poor kid collapsed from pain…

Rascal dropped down and glared at Lero, the latter bleeding from a shoulder wound and highly impressed at Kanda's entrance.

"It seems as if we are forced to retreat…but, now that Earl knows there is a Halfling here…we'll come back stronger than before!" Lero said vanishing into shadows, the remaining Akuma hightailing it outta there. Rascal shrank down to his cat form and looked back to Kanda. Bloodlust forgotten the vampire held the weeping in pain hybrid.

-We have to take him to Helvaska.- Rascal stated, Kanda nodded in agreement.

*-Doctor's Office-*

Helvaska Rayne was the school's doctor as well as an angel. Her fluffy/wavy light blue hair fell to her knees and gentle baby blue eyes shone with a mother's warmth. If one was sick, hurt or just not feeling good they came to her. So, when Lero and his group left she was happy that no was seriously hurt, until Kanda and company walked in.

"Oh dear! What happened?" she asked, pulling covers back so they could lay Allen down. Once down however Allen refused to let go of Kanda's shirt. The vampire sighed in irritation, while blushing. Helvaska smiled and then looked Allen over when Kanda shifted so that Allen was laying with his back against the vampire's chest. The angel took one look at the arm and nodded.

"It's his death scythe…" she said, as if that explained everything.

It didn't.

"Sorry, his what?" Lenalee asked.

"Death Scythe: a tool unique to each shinigami. Made from their body or connected with their very being. Death scythe's can slice through anything, even a shinigami…" Lavi recited. Helvaska nodded.

"Exactly, considering the fact that he's only half, I would assume that the human blood is rejecting the scythe, causing him pain. He needs to let it out, but the human blood needs to be distracted."

Kanda thought…and thought…finally looking at Aryastar he let out a breath.

"Stop me if he goes limp."

Without another word Kanda bit into Allen's right shoulder. Allen's eyes flew open as he visibly relaxed, the group watched as he left arm became a large silver and white claw, a glowing green cross on the top of the hand. Kanda released Allen and leaned back sweating and panting. Aryastar looked at him quizzically.

"I heard…someone say…let go."

"Most likely the shinigami blood in him." Helvaska mused outloud.

Kanda looked down at Allen and only one thought ran through his mind.

"Damn, this kid…that was…I want to be the only one to taste this blood."
