D.A: Kanda? Allen? Where are they? *looks everywhere within reason*
Deke/Lavi: What?! Where could they run off to? And just when I came back into the picture, too.
D.A: Don't be sad Lav..I mean..Deke. We'll find them before long...*mumbles*hopefully...
Deke/Lavi: Hmmm. Did you say something..? I didn't catch the last part.
D.A: Oh?! Nothing, nothing. And since THOSE two aren't here would you do the honors.
Deke/Lavi: Sure THING, Boss. The writer of this story does not own, posses, or claim any right to this work of fiction that has any relationship with it original owner. As we wish not to be sued by the state of law that say one cannot claim and copyrighted...*D.A slaps hand over his mouth*
D.A: You get the picture, right? Now to figure out how to get HIM to stop talking.
Chapter 4 (After this Chapter are all the new and unedited chapters)
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.

-one year later-
Kanda suddenly stopped looking around from the alley he currently was inhabiting. Seeing nothing, he still took the time to shift his ears this way and that listening for any sign of danger.
Satisfied that there truly was no one in the area Kanda continued his mission of finding food. All the food he had scavenge a week earlier was running low and they would be out soon.
As of now Kanda was searching the three block radius in hopes of finding a little to feed the Moyashi. The younger Neku had a fever and hadn't eaten in over a day. Kanda was starting to become worried that if he couldn't find some thing he could eat and some medicine than Allen wouldn't make it through the winter.
Kanda had planned for many months and then waited until the time was right before he busted himself and his Moyashi out of the facility.
Since then Kanda had shown many different sides of himself by protecting the younger Neku. Feeding him, clothing him, fighting (verbally) with him, and much more.
Walking through the small Square Kanda noticed that on the far side of the fountain sat a rusty-red headed Neku. Although its hair color was strange enough Kanda hadn't noticed it for that reason, instead it was ehat said Neku was holding that caught attention. In its hand was a bag filled to the brim with fresh food.
Kanda noticed that the Neku was selling the food at a stand for Organic Goods. Organic, maybe. Big and juicy, yes.
Now all Kanda had to do was find some way to destract the Neku from his target. Looking around he saw an elderly man who was quite short with only a short braid of hair left coming off the back of his head walk up to said Neku.
Quickly taking his chance while the two conversed Kanda grabbed the bag of food. And ran.
Yells of anger and protest could be heard behind Kanda as he left the square and circled the outlying alleyways for a bit.
Thinking back he could have sworn that the red Neku had winked at him as he passed by.
Slowing down Kanda was pretty sure no one had followed his trail as he booked it out of the area. Coming to stand outside of several abandoned warehouses.
Slipping around back he walked over to a wall that had a pile of planks stack against it. Kanda gave one last weary look around before entering through a hidden crack in the wall.
Making his way around piles of trash and old boxes and crates Kanda found a smaller Neku curled up in the center of an encirclement of crates and boxes. Kanda had placed them on top and next to each other to create a wall around them to help keep out some of the cold wind that made its way through the old decrepit building.
Setting his plunder of the day down Kanda's ears listened to the other breath as he slept. Looking over he noticed that the Neku was half uncovered by the sole blanket they shared. It was moth eaten and worn from many years of use but it was all the had.
Seeing Allen shiver Kanda pulled the cover up to help keep him warm.

-a couple months later-
When Allen awoke he was cuddled up against Kanda, while they shared the first of two beds in the house Deke was letting them stay in.
At first, Allen hadn't known what to think when they found his friend Lavi, whom he thought was dead, but had just escaped. Lavi had told him that he had changed his name as not to be discovered by the searchers who worked for the white coats. So, he had pick the name Deke.
Allen often dreamed about the time he and Kanda spent running from the white-coats. And when they have ended up coming face-to-face with Lavi. Allen also knew Kanda would some times dream about the past because he had heard Kanda talking in his sleep sometimes. Usually arguing with Deke.
Kanda began to stir from his light sleep when he felt the other Neku squirming beside him.
"Che, stop moving Moyashi. You should sleep more before the Baka Usagi wakes up..."
"YUUU-Chaaan Time to get up," they could hear him yelling from somewhere in the house.
Too late, the usagi was already awake and as energetic as always. "Don't CALL me that!" Kanda yelled back moving away from Allen.
Finally released from Kanda's cuddling, Allen stretched his arms and one good leg. Kanda then turned back to him with a sigh of annoyance and helped him stretch his other leg, so, that it wouldn't cramp up later causing Allen lots of pain.
After stretching the Moyashi, Kanda then stretched his appendages to their fullest length. His tail and two larger-than-average ears also join in stretching. When he was done Kanda stood up and helped move Allen into a swing-like chair.
The chair really looked like a swing because it was made up of two long ropes that were tied to the opposite sides of a plank of wood. The two ropes were rigged by Deke that when Allen pulled on tabs, hand sized pieces of wood attached to strings, he would be pulled to which ever room he wished to go to. Well, as long as he pulled the tab for that room.
Kanda didn't understand how it worked and didn't really care as long as the Moyashi was able to travel freely through out their current house. As unique as Allen's swinging-chair was the house was even better. Well, why someone might have asked, it's because it was a treehouse. If that didn't shock people to find Neku living in a house in a tree without owners, then knowing that the house was the size of a small colony of about two hundred Neku without owners would probably kill them.
Deke owned the 'small' house and allowed the two Neku to live there as well. He even made it where Allen would be able connect with other Neku to keep from being lonely, but far removed from the daily hustle of the main part of the house to give them some peace and quiet as Kanda liked it.
The house that housed more or less two hundred freed Neku was located deep in a forest that was surround by several mountain ranges. This helped protect them but there were still some human villages that were within walking distance.
All the Neku worked together to create a place that could almost be called paradise to them. Because no Neku had to worry too much about humans capturing them will so many difficulties that were in the way. And each Neku could live as if they were never a slave, working in shops selling goods and wears that they had grown or made of their free will.
Finally making it to the breakfast table Kanda sat down in his spot at the head of the table, where his food had already been laid out by Deke. Allen came swinging in soon after stopping on Kanda's right side. This was his seat and like Kanda's his food had been laid out.
"Mmmm.." Allen's mouth watered as he stared at his pile of waffles covered in jams, fruits, and creams. And sitting next to the utensil was a jar filled with chocolate shavings that he could add if he so wished. (I described the waffles this way so you could imagine them how you like them)
Kanda on the other hand prefer to eat more oriental type foods, such as soba noodles or miso. And he would finish it off with a hot cup of tea, which was usually green tea or jasmine tea.
"I'm glad you like it little buddy. And what about you, Yuu-chan?"
Deke walked in the dining room holding a pile of book that towered over him like it was nothing, grinning ear to ear as he saw his two best friends.
"Che," was the only reply he received as Allen's mouth was fill with several of the dazzling waffles that had been resting on his plate.
Kanda looked at the Moyashi sitting next to him, after he glared at Deke for using his first name, he allowed a small smirk to appear on his face to see the once sad Neku looking so happy and enjoying the life he was given. And he, Yuu Kanda, would make sure (with Deke's help) that Allen would stay happy.
