Allen: Wait is Lavi dead?!

D.A: Yes and No.

Allen: What does that mean? Is he or isn't he?

D.A: Yes and No. *has a knowing smile*

Allen: But-t… T-That makes no sense…

Kanda: *walks up behind Moyashi* What? Can't tell your head from your tail, Moyashi?

Allen:*jumps in fright* She's not making sense, Bakanda.

Kanda: Che, like I care. Now shut up about that and do the intro.

Allen: *pouts* So mean, BAKAnda. *gets hit in the head by said person* Fine, in no way, form or fashion does this work belong to D.A other than its plot, OCs, or OOC-ness. There, Happy Now!

Chapter 3

"Kanda. My name is Yu Kanda."

The silence was broken only by that one sentence.

Finally free Kanda rubbed his wrists and fore arms relieving the stinging sensation from the ropes that had been there. Stretching a little Kanda then turned back around to stare directly into the eyes of the Neku while he was bunking with."Why are you in this block?"

The facility Neku were sealed and treated in were separated into three outlying blocks from the main center. One could best visualize it by thinking of a blank piece of paper. In the center of the page there is a big circle and connected to the circle are three rectangles pointing out to endpoints. The endpoints if connected would create a giant triangle having the circle in its center. The three blocks that the Neku were separated into are A Block which houses the Neku that could be fixed easily or were just sick or had healing bones. They would be able to return to their post within a few weeks of maintenance.

Then B Block which held the Neku who had mental instabilities. Most just called them loony, and they were life members for the white-coats to experiment on. In Allen's view most that were put in that Block were broken by their Masters' cruelty to them. The Neku might be made stronger than humans but they were broken the same way.

Lastly, there was C Block which Allen and Kanda were in. C Block houses any abnormal Neku that didn't fit in with the other two blocks. They weren't crazy and they didn't have anything that could be fix within a month.

Allen remembered Lavi had also been in C Block. He remembered the day he met Lavi when the chattering Neku had ran up to him asking random questions. Allen learn that he had escaped his cell and raninto the next room because he was bored. Lavi had also told him that everywhere he went he could one or more white-coats gossiping about the rare white Neku station next to him.

Lavi was always smiling when he escaped his charges or his container to come see Allen. He told Allen that it was because he was able to see something beautiful and breath taking everyday. When Allen asked him what he meant he only winked and patted Allen on his head.

The Neku had the fortunate skill to be able to escape from his cell, Lavi would drop in to talk to Allen because he hardly ever left his cell or had any interaction that wasn't connected to someone bringing him food twice a day. But Allen knew that he was making sure that Allen was okay after each experiment because they thought of each other like brothers.

But after the games Allen never saw Lavi again and it was saddening to think about his old friend now. Mentally shaking himself Allen looked back at Kanda shyly.

Allen took a moment to think. He knew Kanda had felt the awkward way he'd sat up to untie him and just being in this block a dead giveaway. Grimacing Allen decided to show Kanda the damaged goods that he was.

"W-well, I'll just s-show you."

Allen reach up to his left arm and pulled of a long black glove that was hiding his disfigured arm. The glove was made from a special fabric that Jonny had made to help hide his arm without irritating the sensitive skin. The arm was red, as it had been burned by the chemicals that had coated it in the accident, and it was filled with scars to the point it looked like the bark on a tree.

Then Allen positioned his right leg so that Kanda was able to see the long scar that ran from his ankle and traveled up to his waist along the outer side of it. Allen didn't show him the full length of the scar, only until it came to the bottom of the white shorts they were made to wear.

Allen's ears were laying flat against his head as he waited with baited fear for Kanda's reaction to his deformities.

Kanda was somewhat shocked to see the cute Neku so badly broken.

Kanda's large ears twitched with the urge to lay flat on his head out of anger, while his tail swished back and forth because he was not able to hide the agitation flowing through it. With the younger Neku in front of him looking helpless and ashamed, Kanda couldn't help himself with what he did next.

"Fucking Bastards!"

Walking away from Allen as he flinched away in fear Kanda kicked at the walls of their cell and then at the bars that became the door. His anger had been building ever since he awoke in the facility and now. Kanda was now reaching a boiling point and attack and beat the far side of the cell away from Allen. Cursing the entire time to many unknown deities and gods.

This lasted for several hours and when the white-coat who brought their meals walked in he turned tail and ran. Kanda barely noticed the man or spilled food as his body raged a war against the bars and walls of the cell.

With Allen's ears laid flat against his head in submission and shame he didn't notice when Kanda had suddenly gotten closer. And a lot quieter than he was moments ago.

Suddenly, Allen was lift up into a standing position, which he wobble from, and just as fast Kanda had scooped him off his feet. Allen was now being held in Kanda's arms 'princess' style.

Kanda looked down to see that Allen's face was lit up as red as a Christmas ornament. This made Kanda smile for some reason that he did not know.

When the Neku looked up at Kanda turned his back to the cot as he fell back onto the it with Allen still in his arms.

Now, Allen was sitting on Kanda's lap with Kanda's arms supporting him. Allen knew that his face was red from the heat he felt coming off of it and he was unable to meet Kanda's gaze as his face grew hotter with each passing second.

For several long moments Allen and Kanda sat on the cot in this position before Allen asked, "Why? Why would you-u do this?" For some odd reason Allen needed to know why Kanda would get close to him with how disfigured and useless he was.

"Why, you ask? Because I want to, Baka."

For some reason this simple answer was enough to set Allen's mind at ease as if Kanda would never lie about something like this. He felt an unknown emotion, or was it an emotion that he remembered from a long time ago, he didn't know. The closest he could come to describing it was... safe. He felt safe, as if nothing could hurt him when he was in Kanda's arms.

Cuddling closer Allen suddenly relaxed in the dark Neku's arm, until Kanda had to look down at him only to find that Allen had fallen to sleep. His face was soft and a bit baby-ish and didn't show any of his earlier pain or sorrow, which Kanda decided he liked much better.

Slowly, Kanda laid both him and Allen on their sides on the cot without letting Allen out of his grasp. Getting into a comfortable spot Kanda curled around the smaller Neku, promising to himself before letting sleep take over that he would protect this Neku with his life. That he, Allen, didn't deserve to be hurt like this.

Well, This is the NEW and EDITED version. Sorry to the people who wanted to read or liked the original.

D.A: Well, Allen and Kanda have disappeared some where. Which makes me worry?!

But I'm soooo*yawn*ooo tired that I don't care right now. And I hope those who read this can give me some feedback by reviewing...*falls into a stack of pillows fast asleep*
