Lunny: Well, here's the next chapter! Sorry, the last one took so long to get out.

Cold: I feel sorry for them in this one…

Solarius: Shut it baka wolf!

Lunny: Ignore the idiots…I don't own anything but the apparently kick ass plot. For those who read both my works that is in-progress: sorry about the YGO story, I know for a fact once I'm done with Night School I'll be able to focus on that baby. I'm really bad at multi-tasking I noticed.

Cold: On with the chapter!

Lunny: HAVE FUN AND DON'T FORGET TO REVIEW!

Chapter 14

What to do?

Thursday- December 24
The Black Order Academy- 11:30pm

Kanda decided that Teachers were useless.

For the entire day the teachers and other adults that were at the school were discussing what went down the other night. Word traveled fast around the school and the Founders hadn't said a thing to anyone.

Here I stand,
Helpless and left for dead.
Close your eyes,
So many days gone by.
Easy to find what's wrong,
Harder to find what's right.

Kanda and the others felt like they were failing Allen. So far it looked as if no one wanted to go up against the Akuma or more importantly…The Earl. Aetas and Morte were dealing with the adults. Kanda hoped that they would talk some sense into them. He vowed to himself that no matter what, he'd go even without his families blessing, however dangerous that may be.

I believe in you,
I can show you that
I can see right through
All your empty lies.
I won't stay long,
In this world so wrong.

The vampire looked around the group that had formed in a short amount of time. Madarao, Tevak, Fou, Bak, Miranda, Johnny, Tapp, Daisaya, Link and Noise had all come when Kanda sent out a message among the students who knew Allen. Lenalee, Alma, Arystar and Lavi were already at his side. He mentally counted their numbers to be 15; he hoped to whatever higher power up there that it was enough.

Say goodbye,
As we dance with
The devil tonight.
Don't you dare look at
Him in the eye,
As we dance with
The devil tonight.

Morte appeared and the group tensed. The pure white feline paused and counted over the number.

[Impressive, Kittens…15 of you still believe in Allen.]

"We're bringing him back, Morte." Kanda said from his seated position.

Morte looked at the group; Kanda was seated on a stone fountain; the water had long since dried up his eyes as bright as the sword resting next to him, Lenalee sat atop the highest basin her legs crossed like a perfect lady wings ready, Lavi sat with his head resting just next to Kanda's sword-less side eyes set and hard his claws visible, Arystar sat inside the lowest basin hidden in half shadow looking for all the world like a killer, while Alma sat on the middle basin one leg brought up for his chin to rest on eyes merciless. Morte was personally glad that while on School Ground he was virtually invincible or else he'd worried that he was about to get killed. He looked around the desolate garden to the others that had gathered.

Link and his cousins were sitting on a stone bench, Tevak leaning her head on her elder brother. Fou was sharpening one of her blades, while Bak inspected his bo-staff. Miranda checked over her holly staff, Noise strummed the lyre he had with him. Nearby those two were Johnny and Tapp; the elf plucked his bow face grim while the ogre tested his spiked club. Sitting in Noise's shadow was Daisaya. The imp had a murderous glint in his eyes that made Morte really glad that the kittens saw him as friend.

[I'm afraid Kittens, that the adults have ruled Allen a hazard and a Noah.] Morte said, expecting an outburst.

"Bastards." Arystar hissed, Kanda glanced back knowing his cousin was getting mad. Morte expected worse, but wasn't complaining.

[Understand, Kittens the Noah's have long been a powerful force. None feel as if they could go against the sheer number of the Akuma at their beak and call.] He explained. Some of the teens nodded, rumors told of at least 15,000 + of Akuma coming to gather around the Earl.

"So, it's fear that halts our respected elders?" Madarao asked, Tevak shifting so that she leaned on Link's shoulder. Her cousin complied and accommodated her, as Madarao laid his arm across the back of the bench.

[Exactly.] Morte said catching the twitch that appeared in Kanda's left brow.

"Still pathetic. Allen's important…" Kanda said. Morte sighed.

[Not to them. He's merely another student here.] The cat grimly pointed out.

"He is to us, Morte." Lenalee said, the others nodding in agreement. Morte smiled and nodded.

[I know Kitten.]

Trembling,
Crawling across my skin.
Feeling your cold, dead eyes,
Stealing the life of mine.

I believe in you,
I can show you that
I can see right through
All your empty lies.
I won't last long,
In this world so wrong.

Aetas hissed to himself as he briskly walked away from the meeting room that the adults had set up. All had basically said that it was far too risky to go after one student. The Founders had sat there and done nothing! The black feline froze and shook the dizziness from his head. He was stressing too much and that was bad. If he blacked out while his brother was here…well, it goes without saying that he and his twin weren't really the nicest of shifters when pissed. He slowed as he neared the desolate garden; the school was upset about Allen just like the kittens that had gathered in that garden. His fur bristled as Lucas ran cold fingertips down his spine. Aetas looked up into Lucas' mask and the cat knew exactly what the Founders were doing. He nodded and walked into the garden.

Say goodbye,
As we dance with
The devil tonight.
Don't you dare look at
Him in the eye,
As we dance with
The devil tonight.

-They're still bickering kittens, only this time it's about how to protect the school. Honestly, the way those idiots go on one would think that the Apocalypse was upon us.-

"So, now they're not even thinking about Allen?" Alma asked.

-Not even remotely.- Aetas said, heaving a sigh.

"Fuck it, we're leaving now. Lavi can you track Allen's scent?" Kanda said, looking to the were. Lavi's smirk could be described as evil or just plain Lavi…Kanda went with the latter.

"Been tracking it, Yuu. I had my personal wolf pack on their trail." The were said proudly.

"Any deaths?" Arystar asked from the shadows, worry evident in tone but not in features. He almost looked hopeful to spill blood in the name of vengeance.

"Arystar, I got spirit wolves on my side. Why do you think I'm next in line for the clan leadership?" Lavi said with a light airy chuckle.

[Spirit wolves were the mark of The Bookman Leader, Just as your sword is your mark Kanda, Allen's Scythe is his, Alma's telekinesis is his and the eyes are a Noah's.] Morte pointed out to the group. A small cough drew everyone's attention to Timothy and Helvaska. The angel held a medium sized backpack, while the child held another.

"Here, medical supplies that Miranda and Lenalee know how to use." The angel gave Miranda the pack, smiling warmly to the others.

"Jerry said that he wanted to be here, but those Noah that got in made a mess of his cafeteria, he's cleaning it now." Timothy said, handing the backpack to Alma. The devil hugged the little fox kit briefly before slinging the pack on. Arystar walked out and hugged the child as well. Timothy sniffled but didn't shed a tear.

Hold on,
Hold on.

Say goodbye,
As we dance with
The devil tonight.
Don't you dare look at
Him in the eye,
As we dance with
The devil tonight.

"Good luck everyone." Helvaska said, all present feeling a sense of warmth and strength flow from her.

"Being Allen home." Timothy said, receiving nods from Allen's closest friends.

[We'll be coming with you Kittens.] Morte said, leaping onto Madarao's shoulders.

-You'll need the added power.- Aetas said from his spot on Kanda's shoulders.

Kanda decided that the adults could bicker all they want. He and the others have a cherished person to save. As the battle ready group headed out; none noticed the founders that followed.

Hold on,
Hold on.

Goodbye.
