Chapter 13: Panic

Midday had fallen. Young Allen Walker swallowed hole a plate of bread. He stared down at a dusty cold room. He sat on a small bed beside a wall. Up from it, a giant painting of a clown covered the wall. The walls were a darkish blue color. The decoration was that of bricks. His blankets had been poorly done. Allen stood inside a small blue room. His hair did not blew as there was no window to do so but his eyes bled blood covered tears. Allen knew not why, but since Hevlaska's check up, blood randomly dripped down his grayish eyes.

Why ? Why was this happening to Allen ? Why were his eye dripping cold tears of blood? They hurt. Not in his body but in his soul. Somewhere inside the tiny body, Allen could feel a distant pain. A pain he clearly knew was not that of his own. A pain not that of the flesh. It was a pain that in an unbearable silence crawled up through like a slight electricity on his flowing veins. His heart beat at the rhythm of a subtle song. A delicate song that fused with his smooth lips, that step by step he recited in dormancy.

" And then the little boy falls asleep
Among the ashes in the flames shining...
First one, then two... "

Allen subtly closed his palpitated eyes. He could feel as a blood-freezing wind looped around him. They tainted themselves in bright colors of black and blue. Allen raised his arms up into the air. Similar to that of a prayer. Warm breath clashed the cold wind that blew around him. Peace ? Was this peace ? Was this suffering ? Was this sadness ? Was this happiness ? What was it ? Who did this ? Who was he ?

" I will still continue to pray
Please show this child what love is
Hands sealed with a kiss"

Allen's expression was unreadable, unbearable. It carried no emotions, no light, no warmth. All he enclosed was an obscure and frigid lust. Trembling yearning hands. Fading soul. A darkened heart. For a covered up child, death and change, was his only hope. His only salvation. Alone on his new room, he sang in whispers as morning came.

MEANWHILE...

Knock - Knock

" Ni - san, it's Lenalee, care for some coffee? "

Cracks echoed the empty hallway. Lenalee offered her lively smile. The one her dear brother just loved to stare at. The white tall man barely kept his glasses in place as he rubbed his tired eyes. With all the small strength he had, he raised one of his arms towards a pink cup of coffee. A cute bunny embedded onto it.

" Thank you Lenalee my sister! "

Lenalee closed her eyes. " It's nothing brother. "

Komui smiled like a moron. He always loved his morning coffee's. Especially when it was Lenalee who brought it. He was about to close his room's door, when suddenly he felt a quick hand hold it in place. Komui blinked.

" What's up Lenalee? Your going to give me some more coffee? " He smiled in a joking manner.

Lenalee looked up at him with concerned tired eyes. Her smile visibly dropped.

" L - Lenalee? " Komui asked startled.

" Ni-san, I have to… " Lenalee's eye's closed.

Komui could see as Lenalee lost her composure and fell on top of his chest. His cup of coffee slipped from his arms. It shattered on the floor, forcing the hot coffee to burn his feet. Komui had barely flinched at his pained feet. He stood frozen holding his sisters numb body.

Komui shook Lenalee's body a bit. " Lenalee? Lenalee, what's wrong! "

Komui touched Lenalee's forehead with his arm. It was hot. " A fever! "

Just as he was to panic in cries, Komui heard footsteps. Footsteps that brought him back on to the real world.

Just from the other side of the hallways appeared a short brown haired man. He wore strange glasses with circles on them. He wore a ponytail on his curly hair. Beside him stood a fat black man. His hair was brown and his eye was covered with a band-aid. They both wore white scientist clothes. They seemed to laugh at each other when they noticed Komui. He stood frozen at the front of his room's door.

" Yo, Komui! ; Whats u- " The man with glasses raised his arm. But quickly dropped it as he noticed what was on Komui's arms. The black fat man almost screamed.

" Lenalee! "

The two men ran towards Komui who hopelessly held Lenalee on his arms.

" Johnny! Tapp! " Komui shouted. His voice trembled.

Johnny and Tapp quickly took Lenalee from Komui's arm not even leaving him space to react. They placed her on top of his bed. She battled to breath as her face reddened.

As soon as Johnny and Tapp had placed a fresh tissue on her forehead, they looked back towards Komui who still stood at the front of his door paralyzed. Johnny walked closer towards him.

" What's up with you Komui, this is so not like you! "

Komui blinked trying to find words.

" I - I'm sorry. " Komui pressed his fists tight. He looked down towards the floor. Tears fell down his cheeks. " It's just been so long since Lenalee has gotten sick! "

He raised his hand towards his face. " I was so surprised... "

Komui felt as Johnny smiled up to him, obviously to comfort him. " Don't worry about it, it's going to be ok. "

Tapp nodded. " It's just a fever, so a little medicine shall do the trick! "

Komui cleaned his tears with his pj's sleeves. " Thank you, I'll take over from here. "

Komui sat beside Lenalee. He was about to set off onto his sister complex world when all of a sudden a thought crossed his mind. He looked up toward Johnny and Tapp who were just about to close the door and leave.

" Wait, I have a favor to ask! "

Both of them looked at him half thinking of what he would most probably say.

" Besides calling the nurse, what else? " Tapp joked.

Komui glared at them pissed off at Tapp's remark. " That! And… " Komui trailed off.

Just beside Komui's bed, which Lenalee currently slept on, their stood his desk replenished with towers of papers. Komui quickly reached out towards a white sheet of paper. He seemed to write some sort of secret message as he closed it in an envelope. He threw it over to Johnny who grabbed it.

" To Kanda. From Komui. " Johnny read the envelope curiously.

" What's this for? "

Komui smiled childishly and raised his finger. " A secret mission for Kanda. "

Tapp blinked. " Well then, Johnny, I'll go call the nurse then... "

Both Johnny and Komui nodded.

Komui coughed. " Please send it to him as soon as possible. Oh, and don't read, it's quite serious. "

Johnny and Tapp gulped. " Y- yes! "

CAFETERIA

Kanda hid his excited smile as he finally savored a scrumptious bowl of soba. His favorite food. It had been days since he had eaten some. Missing it had been inevitable. Stupid missions always getting on his way!

A group of finders eyed him in fear. Others in hate. They remembered as the young samurai had totally kicked all of the finders out of the table. He had even went as far as to threaten them with his Innocence, Mugen.

" You! You! " A tall finder punched Kanda's table, forcing the Soba Bowl to spill a little. Kanda looked up indifferently. He stared up at the man with a brown finder cloth. Tears fell from the man's eyes as he gritted his teeth.

" You, how could you dare criticize us! "

Kanda glared at him quietly. He slowly got up from his chair, unsheathing the Mugen from his arms. The finder's eyes widened as he saw him do so.

" What do you plan on doing! Kill me too? Kill me just as you mocked my friends death! " The finder cried out.

The man felt as the sword faintly poked his neck, making it bleed a drop. The finder stared down at Kanda, not in fear, but in anger instead.

" Even after he died for you! After he supported you! "

The finder raised his fist as to punch Kanda. Kanda hold the man's arms, sheathed his mugen and then pressed the finder's neck.

Kanda's serious face soon widened into a cold smirk. " You? Support US? No, you can do nothing BUT support us. You were unfit to be exorcists. You're just losers whom the Innocence refused to choose! There are plenty of replacements available for you finders. If you don't want to die, then get out! "

Followers got up as to hit him until -

" STOP IT! " Kanda glared down at the short man who stood beside him. His strange glasses stood out. The usual.

" What do YOU want, Johnny? " Kanda let go of the finder's neck as he noticed Johnny's angry eyes. Kanda sighed.

Johnny looked down a bit." Come with me Kanda, there's something I've got to tell you. "

Kanda didn't seem to understand much. Since when did Johnny ever spoke to him? And then with that serious face?

Kanda ignored his soba bowl and followed Johnny towards the front of the cafeteria door. The followers cursed him as he walked by. Kanda ignored them, as he could care less.

Johnny soon took a letter out of his white coat. Kanda exchanged faces, both with the letter, and with Johnny.

" A mission? "

Johnny nodded. Kanda took the letter from Johnny's hands.

" What about Komui? "

Johnny smiled a bit sad. He raised his arm toward the behind of his head. " Lenalee's sick so his taking care of her. "

Kanda not even responding, quickly walked by Johnny towards the gate. On his way, he opened the letter casually. It read:

" Dear Yuu Kanda:

How do you do? As the only exorcist free at the moment I need your help on the following mission. Firstly, have you ever heard of the new exorcist, Allen Walker? "

Kanda stopped walking abruptly for a moment and widened his eyes. The contents of this letter's were no normal ones. This was not just any mission!

" This exorcist claims to be General Cross's student. It's not that we don't believe him, but he is just a bit suspicious as he carries Cross's bullet injuries on his Innocence. Something we found peculiar as to why Cross would do this. Secondly, you might have not heard of this yet but we found Cross Marian again, better said, he got in contact with us, but~ Guess what? He quickly went missing AGAIN. Seeing as he was already missing for three years this isn't all too surprising, but thing is, Allen claims the Earl killed Cross.

For all too many reasons I can't explain to you right now, but both Allen Walker and Cross Marian are suspected as possible traitors. We are not sure of whom but there is a high chance that at least one of them is a traitor. Oh! And Allen is a bit, uhhh, crazy so it's hard to receive accurate information out of him. Don't analyze his words way too seriously. Please keep a close eye on him for the moment and observe his every movement. We don't want to make you seem too suspicious, so Johnny will have a mission prepared for the both of you to go to. I know you are extremely pissed off by now but I'll leave it in your hands! :3

Love~
The all mighty Komui!

PS : Please be nice! Being friends is a good way to spy on him! "

Kanda broke the letter into tiny pieces. Smoke blew from his ears as he burned in fury. He quickly stomped his way towards Komui's room.

KOMUI'S ROOM

Komui caressed Lenalee's hair when suddenly - BAM!

The door slammed open. Komui joined both of his hands together as he smiled.

" Oh! Hi Kanda! What brings you here? "

Kanda almost threw a punch towards Komui but then stopped halfway holding himself.

" What the hell is this! " Kanda smacked tiny pieces of papers onto Komui's face.

Komui spit out the papers. " A mission! Mission! "

" Not doing it! " Kanda was about to turn around when he noticed Komui's serious face.

" Kanda, believe it or not this is serious. What if he really is a traitor? "

Kanda glared back at Komui. He stood quiet for a moment. Almost seeming lost in his thoughts but not enough to space out.

" Fine. "

Komui looked up at the samurai. He was surprised he had accepted. Just as he was to hug Kanda in excitement he saw the door close shut right in front of his face.

"Ey! That's mean! "

A TRAIN SOMEWHERE

Bloody tears continued to fall down the pale boys eyes. His white hair blew along the wind. His scar bled also. People ignored him in fear. The train quickly passed by numerous houses, numerous valleys, numerous towns. His lips were broken. He had bitten his lips unstoppably since he had boarded the train. He carried no smile. He ignored the world and stared out at the window in sadness. His heart bit faster. The sun was quickly hiding underneath the snowy mountains.

THE BLACK ORDER

Kanda ran towards the entire Order. He panicked as he had not found this moron Allen Walker kid yet. Even though he had searched for him through out the entire Order since this morning , he could not come to find him. And now that the Main Gate had confirmed that he had let Allen go out, Kanda could not help but burn in fury, as well as in panic. Night had already fallen and the white haired teen had left early morning...
