A/N: Hey! It's my longest chapter yet for this story :D awesome. Okay, now I really won't be updating much. Maybe over the March Break if I don't have too much work to do. -_- Thank you for your patience! You all get a 2L bottle of coke (or pepsi)! :3 An extra bottle to Rayany Amor for making me happy ;) heheh.

Previously:

"Alma...died?" Tiedoll looked at Kanda with wide eyes and saw a single tear streak down his face before he wiped it away.

"Shooting on the street. Wrong place, wrong time. Allen was shot too." Kanda looked away and wiped another stray tear. Bringing up all these memories again was painful. It was silent for a while until Kanda left the kitchen, leaving Tiedoll to gather his wits and function again.

Kanda and I went to school early again this morning. It was always fun to talk to the Noah, the most interesting topics come up.

"You made it." I opened the door and was greeted with the sight of Tyki, Road, Jasdero, and Debito sitting in chairs in a rough circle. I grabbed Kanda's hand and dragged us to the group. Automatically, they shifted their positions to accommodate us.

"By the way, why was Skin expelled?" Kanda asked as he sat down on a chair. I was just about to grab my own chair, but Kanda grabbed me by the wrist and pulled me down into his lap. I gave a light blush which Debito snickered at.

"He beat up a group of kids for calling him a baby." Road sighed and rolled her eyes.

"Baby?" I asked.

"He likes sweet things." Tyki informed as he leaned back in his chair. After that bit, we got into more interesting topics of conversation until we shifted to talking about the world of D. Gray-Man.

"What has the Earl been doing?" I shifted in Kanda's lap before settling down and leaning into his chest.

"The usual, just making more akuma." I grimaced but didn't say anything. To them it may be normal because they were born in that role, but to Kanda and I, it was disgusting. There was a lull in the conversation when no one said anything and they were caught up in their own thoughts.

"We should have rules." Kanda broke the silence and we all looked at him.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, not really rules per se. We just have to make some guidelines so everyone acts like they're supposed to." Kanda finished and I nodded my head.

"That makes sense. For example, we," I point to the Noah and then to Kanda and myself. "have to pretend we hate each other. If we see each other anywhere, we have to make sure that we are prepared to kill the other person no matter the cost." I thought back to the time when we were on the Ark and I was facing off against Tyki. He was tough to beat, that's for sure. "Also, you," I poked Kanda's chest. "have to be annoyed to death whenever I'm talking." Kanda smirked.

"That's not too hard to do, it happens all the time anyways." He chuckled as I glared at him and turned back around.

"Bakanda." I growled.

OOOOOOOOOOO

It was after school and we just arrived home. I locked the door and took off my shoes right after Kanda. We walked into the living room and I watched him fall onto the couch after dropping his backpack off by the wall.

"Tired?" I asked as I placed my backpack beside his. His reply was a grunt and he motioned me over with his hand. I rolled my eyes but walked over to him. I sat down next to him and he ushered me down so I was lying down beside him.

"What-" Just as Kanda was going to start talking, his phone cut him off. He growled but sat up and got off the couch. "Hello?" I watched Kanda pick up the phone. "Yes, this is Kanda." He looked confused for a second before his eyes widened and the phone dropped from his grasp just a second later. Immediately I shot up from the couch and ran over.

"What's wrong?" I held his shoulders and looked into his eyes. "Kanda!" I screamed and I finally caught his attention. "What's wrong?" I asked again and his eyes started watering.

"Tiedoll died."

Kanda POV

"Tiedoll died." I mumbled quietly as I stared into Allen's bi-coloured eyes. Allen gasped and his eyebrows slanted down sadly.

"Ohmygod."

My vision started blurring and I quickly wiped my tears away. I'm not going to show my weak side to Allen. My heart seemed to throb and my knees wobbled before I dropped to the ground. Why was I getting so emotional? He was just an old man and he used me to get his things. Why should I care about him? He always poked fun at me and teased me any chance he could get. I felt my body start shaking and Allen put his arms around me. He picked up the phone and continued talking to the man who told me the news.

"How did he die?" Allen's voice was quiet but the man on the other end still heard him. Allen nodded his head and said thank you before hanging up.

"How?" My voice cracked but Allen ignored it.

"Car crash. He said the other driver was drunk and sped past a red light." Allen stated quietly in my ear as he continued to hug me and stroke my hair. I felt a small surge of anger within me to kill that bastard if he didn't die already. "He died just after Tiedoll." Damn straight. As soon as I thought that, I felt guilty. It wasn't right to wish death on someone but I couldn't help it. Why did he have to kill Tiedoll? Why couldn't he just kill himself and spare Tiedoll?

"Life's just so unfair." I thought I said that to myself and was surprised when I heard my own tear filled voice.

"I know." Allen sighed out loud and finally released his hold on me. I wiped the rest of the tears out of my eyes and looked at him.

"Come, let's get some rest." His voice was kind and I was glad I could have someone like him to rely on. My entire body felt heavy, but I still forced myself to walk upstairs. I can't let this affect me so much. My face was grim, but I held my head up as Allen led me to my room.

OOOOOOOOOO

D. Gray-Man universe (still Kanda POV)

I woke up in a hotel bed with a nervous Tiedoll shaking me and saying,

"Yuu! Wake up!" He screamed in my face with panicked eyes. My eyes flipped wide open and I stared at him. He logged on. I know it. Allen decided to call this 'logging on' like on a game. Whenever someone comes to this world and is actually 'alive' we say they 'logged on'.

"Tiedoll!" I sat up in bed and stared at him.

"Yuu, you have to help me. I can't leave this world. No matter how much I try I can't seem to exit and go back to our world. What's wrong?" He rambled on and on about what he tried to do and I watched him sadly. Either he got a concussion before he died or he blacked out before he noticed anything really bad happen. "The last thing I remember was driving in my car before another car hit me. I think I blacked out from impact but I don't really know. What happened?" He finally stopped and looked at me. Waiting for my help. It seems Mana told him everything and told him that I was in this world as well.

"Yuu?"

"I'm sorry. You died in the car crash. There was a drunk driver." I replied in a low voice and didn't look into his eyes. I waited a few seconds but didn't hear a reply. I looked up into his eyes and I saw that they were clouded. He saw me looking at him and he gave me a forced smile.

"Well it all makes sense now, doesn't it." His voice sounded strained and he sat down on the bed in front of me. There was a comfortable silence until Tiedoll spoke up again.

"I'm sorry, Kanda. But, thank you for telling me." He put his hand on my leg and gave a small, but real smile. He looked at the ceiling before looking back at me.

"Do you think I'm going to stay here now, or do you think I'll disappear from this world as well?" He asked me and I just stared at him. I hoped that he would stay in this world but I couldn't be sure. I would ask Mana but after the first time, he never talked to me again. Maybe he talks to Allen, I'll have to ask him.

"I think you'll stay here until you die in this world. Not from fighting from akuma, but from old age." I hoped. He didn't live a full life in the real world, so I hoped he would have a good life here.

"I'm really glad you're here." I blurted out before my mind could stop my mouth. My eyes widened and I covered my mouth with my hand. Tiedoll laughed and slapped my knee lightly. He finally quieted down and I could tell he was happy. His entire being was happy because of one sentence.

"You know, the Kanda in the real world is one thousand times nicer than the Kanda from this world." No doubt he was thinking of the memories of when I was just a kid. My rude attitude, I laughed internally, and my obnoxiously long hair. It reached below my butt back then.

"Shut up, old man." I growled with a small smile.

OOOOOOOOOO

Real World (Kanda POV)

I woke up with a smile and turned over to face Allen. He was still fast asleep and his hair was a complete mess over the pillows. I smiled again but stopped. I'm smiling too much. I frowned but it didn't seem right. Maybe it's time for a change.

I lifted my hand out of the covers and touched his hair. I smoothed it behind his ear and did it again to another piece before Allen finally woke up. His eyes were still clouded from sleep but they cleared up a bit when he noticed I was awake. He rubbed his left eye, careful not to hurt it too much.

"What's wrong?" His voice still sounded sleep-filled.

"Nothing." I stared at him and played with his hair. He was completely awake now, and he looked at me confusedly.

"You seem oddly happy."

"Because I am."

"Why?" I told him about me and Tiedoll's conversation and how whenever we die, we go to the world of D. Gray-Man, at least that's what I thought.

"That's great!" Allen smiled. "That means whenever we die, we can still see each other there!" I nodded my head and moved closer to him.

"Thank you," I whispered. "for yesterday." Allen's eyes softened and he touched my arm softly.

"Any time." I leaned in and gave him a short kiss on the lips. I broke it and saw a light blush on his face. I smirked and he pouted.

"Shut up." He looked away but I turned his face back.

"I'm really thankful, okay? If it wasn't for you, I don't know what I would've done." I looked him in the eyes seriously and he nodded. I held his left hand in mine. I did these horrible things to his eye and arm, yet he still likes me. Unknowing to me, Allen saw the sad look on my face when I looked at his hand and he pulled his hand away.

"Stop feeling bad about it. It's in the past. I don't care about it." Allen stated but somehow still seemed unsure of himself. I know he doesn't blame me for it, but he still felt, for lack of a better word, fidgety about it. There was something troubling him.

"What's the matter?" He looked surprised at first, but looked down ashamed.

"They look ugly don't they." He mumbled quietly but I still heard him. I almost laughed. He was worried about looking ugly in front of me.

"No they don't. Now, they're what makes you, you." I kissed his left eye and hand before kissing him on the lips again. This time longer than the last. He gave me a smile before looking worried.

"Sorry to break the mood, but," He looked at something behind me. "if we don't hurry up, we'll be late for school." I groaned.

"Fuuuuuck."

OOOOOOOOOO

Allen POV

It's finally the weekend and Kanda and I decided to go on a 'date'. It was mostly just walking around and go sight-seeing. It seemed more like a day off to hang out, but I didn't mind. It didn't have to be romantic. We were walking hand in hand down a path near a cliff. I guess you could say it was a smaller Grand Canyon. Don't ask me where this is, I already forgot the name of the city and the cliff.

"Come on, let's go check it out." I pulled Kanda over to the cliff and we stood a foot away from the edge.

It was pretty far down, but you could still see the bottom fairly clearly. We sat on the ledge even though there was a warning sign telling you not to get too close. I started swinging my legs back and forth and threw a couple pebbles down.

"Any plans for tomorrow?" I looked over at Kanda and he leaned back on his hands, thinking.

"We could go see that new zombie movie called...what was it? Warm bodies or something? It looks interesting enough." I laughed at his choice of movie and he told me to shut up.

"It has zombies, so shut up. Unless you can't even take a little bit of horror." He looked at me with a pointed look and I raised an eyebrow back.

"Seriously, I kill grotesque akuma and I can actually see them. I think I can take horror." He agreed with me and nodded his head.

"You know, I was thinking we could-" I felt a rough shove from behind and I tipped precariously towards the edge. I was just about to scream at Kanda but suddenly I noticed I was really falling off the cliff. I tried grabbing at the rocks but all I got were cuts on my hands.

"Kanda!" I screamed but then noticed he was only a few feet higher than me, falling as well. What the hell? If Kanda didn't push me, who did? I felt panic rise in my chest as I desperately tried to get a hold of something before I fell to my death.

"Allen!" I looked up and saw Kanda's hand. I grabbed it and he pulled me up to him. We were definitely going to die today, but at least this way, we'll die together.

"I love you, Allen." Kanda held me tighter as I felt us falling faster. I looked up at the ledge again.

"I love you too." I closed my eyes and braced for impact. I felt a sharp burning pain like a thousand knives cutting through my flesh in my back, before I blacked out. The last thing I saw wasn't Kanda, or even his long hair. It was a man on the ledge looking at us fall.

A man with red hair.

OOOOOOOOOO

"Mommy!" A little boy was walking along near the edge of the cliff where there was a railing. It was purposefully built so kids like him would be safe.

"Yes honey?" A young woman looked at her son before continuing walking.

"What's that?" The boy pointed to something at the bottom of the canyon and the woman shrieked.

"Ohmygod!" She covered her son's eyes and pulled him away from the railing.

"Momma?" The boy's tone of voice sounded worried for his mother. She didn't usually scream.

"Nothing, honey. It's nothing." While she pulled her son away from the cliff, she pulled out her phone and dialled 911.

At the bottom of the cliff, there were two boys embracing with blood splattered around their bodies.

OOOOOOOOOO

3rd person

Lenalee sat at home on a Saturday reading one of the newest books she borrowed from the library. She plugged in her head phones and put on her favourite song. For the next few minutes it was all quiet other than the soft sound of pages flipping and occasionally the changing of songs. Suddenly the phone rang and Lenalee put down her book. She stood up from the couch and walked towards the phone and picked it up. She looked at the caller ID and groaned out loud.

"Komui, why are you bothering me? You know it's my day off today. I'm busy!" Lenalee whined and pouted. She crossed her arms and leaned on the wall. There was no sound on the other end and Lenalee was starting to get worried.

"Komui?" There was a loud sob followd by a few sniffles. Lenalee was now fully focused with her joking tone aside. "What's wrong?"

"Lenalee," Komui's voice sounded strained. "I'm sorry. Allen and Kanda died." Lenalee froze and her mouth gaped. "They suspect that it was suicide. They both fell at the same time and the police found them embracing at the bottom of a cliff. I'm really sorry, Lenalee. I know they were your best friends." Tears trailed down Lenalee's face and she sounded out a quiet, tear-filled reply.

"Thank you, Komui. Goodbye." She hung up the phone before she heard his reply and she slid down the wall.

It wasn't possible, she thought. They were always happy, except for that one time when Allen was in the hospital. Why would they commit suicide? Whenever I talked to them, they were always smiling and laughing. At least Allen was. Whenever Kanda smiled, they were always real, and he smiled much more often than before. That was a sign of happiness right? Lenalee gave a quiet sob and hugged her knees into her chest. She wiped her eyes and found a black streak on her hand. Black tears? No. Just smudged mascara. She gave a dry laugh and put her head in her arms. Why was she thinking of stupid things like this and caring about such small details when something horrible just happened?

She held her face and cried harder. Now the only sounds heard were distraught wails and cries from heartache.

A/N: Was that up to your expectations? Maybe? I made it longer for missing last weeks update.
So...anyone read Lord of the Flies? It's really boring so far...people die.

Fun Fact: I love shooting games way more than games like Assassins Creed :3 I love Assassins Creed, don't get me wrong! It's just that I like shooting better. Awesome.
