Allen and Lavi had entered the forest, calling out "Kesenai! Where are you?", still searching for him. They continued calling out for him, walking, still searching… And yet not even close to a clue of where he is.

"I think he isn't anywhere over here…" Lavi said.

"No. Keep searching, he'd escape through places where he thinks he could lose anyone without a problem if you think about it. Hmm… Keep moving forward, there's another town after here." Allen explained.

"I see." Lavi sighed and thought: "I guess we now know who is going to be that martyr…"

"Lets go!" Allen said, walking forward with Lavi.

Kesenai's eyes opened slowly, blinking, his eyes beginning to adjust to the fact that it was now day time. He turned his head over to the right to see Road sleeping next to him yet again, her hands on his chest, her face close to his body. He smiled and pulled away, putting his clothes on. His new clothing were a shirt that he created from black colored wool, and black jeans that he had created from wool as well. He yawned and looked out the window, still feeling sorry for what had happened to Road. He also felt a slight bit of remorse for nearly killing Kanda… Suddenly, something wrapped it's arms around his back, feeling something familiar on his arm. He looked to see it was Road, hugging his arm. "Are you going somewhere..?" she asked, looking up at him.

He smiled "No. I was just thinking. Road, I would like to know something…" his expression darkened slightly.

"What would you like to know?" she responded, tilting her head to the side, wondering what he wanted to know.

"I would like to know why was it you were so afraid when you were using your powers on James. Something made you scream in terror from his memories… I'd like to know what you saw…" he said, looking into her eyes seriously. It had been bothering him for a while but he just never had the chance to ask James at all, so he decided upon asking Road since she was the one who saw James' memories. James had always been the type to keep people in the dark of what his true feelings were, keeping a wall around his heart that no one could ever breach, even if they died trying. He never felt remorse for those who died, and for his family's death.

"Oh…" Road replied, remembering what she had seen… "Okay… But I'll need to transfer your own consciousness there." she said, her power beginning to activate.

Kesenai looked around to see himself in Road's dream world. This was the first time he had ever entered, so of course he sweat dropped when he saw all the darkness everywhere, sharp-pointed, knife-like candles floating in the air, presents everywhere in the air. A dummy that looked like Road and floated into the air "The Noah, Road Kamelot will show you the memory of James, the Noah of Darkness…" it's voice seemed so creepy, that even Kesenai had shuddered slightly with a huge sweat drop. Slowly, he began to see the natural memories of the Noah's genes of Darkness. He was shocked, seeing so many memories. No Noah had contained so many memories such as this… Suddenly, he surprisingly was seeing James' past, the day before James had ever even met Kesenai…

James ran over to his mother, Kathy and tackled her down, laughing like a happy idiot. She smiled softly and stroked James' head gently. Kathy was a French woman who was married to an Irish man named Joe. As soon as James was born, they noticed something extremely strange… James' skin was gray, with 7 pitch black crosses running across his forehead. Ever since that day, James had been switching from that, to his normal, white skin color. This only happened during specific times though. When he was with people at school, he remained with his white form. At form, his strange form was around for good. He had been seeing the worst things whenever he slept, so he couldn't sleep, and if he did, he would be asleep with his parents. Kathy said "How are you doing?"

"I'm okay! I just missed you!" James laughed and wrapped his arms around his mother, kissing her cheek.

She smiled 'Want me to make you your favorite food today?"

"You mean pizza?! YES!!" he cheered.

She smiled "Okay…" She walked into the kitchen and began messing around with the dough, making the attempt to make a homemade, Italian pizza.

After what took like a half hour, she had made the pizza the way the Italians would, without sauce, but a separate cup for dipping the pizza into the sauce. Of course, James chomped through about 9 slices, leaving only two slices, one for his mother, and the other for his father. "Mom… I need to know something… What happened to my older brother, Antony?" he asked, wondering about his missing brother who had gone missing ever since James became four years old, no one had ever known what happened to him… He just disappeared as if he were the wind; There, and then gone. The last his parents had seen him, they witnessed Antony's awakening as a Noah. His forehead bleeding, 7 pitch black crosses, symbolizing stigmata, and his skin turning fully gray.

"Oh…" Kathy looked down, unsure of what to say. She looked to Joe, wondering if she should tell James the answer he wanted.

Joe nodded his head, thinking as if she could hear his thoughts: "Go ahead…"

"Well… James… Antony… Um… He's… Dead… He's dead honey…" she said, crying. She wasn't crying because of Antony's death, it wasn't even real. It was a lie that she had to pull out right on the spot since she couldn't just tell James about the Millennium Earl and the Noah clan…

"D-Dead..?" James shuddered to ask.

"Yes, dead." his mother answered.

"You never told me this… For four years… I HATE YOU!!" he yelled and out of anger, flipped the table over. The table flew and fell upside down, forks, spoons, and cups raining down.

"I'm sorry…" she sniffled, really feeling the worst out of having to say that to such a young boy, one who didn't even know the pain of losing someone. Kathy looked down, remembering that the Millennium Earl struck a deal with her that he could take Antony away, and never have to bother with James for the rest of their pathetic, human lives.

"Sorry my ass! You lied to me! I hate you! And you were in on it as well, weren't you, you bastard!" he pointed at his own father. His father was appalled at what James had just said to his mother and to him. James began to cry and ran out the door, not giving a damn whether or not his parents would go to chase him or not. He turned around to look at his parents' house, hoping that they would just burn… Burn the hell away… Burn the hell out of his life… Next thing he knew, a thought had slipped through his mind (Guess who!)

"Kill them… Never forgive those bastards…" a voice ran through his mind.

"I can't!" James said as if he were talking to a person, looking around, panicking because he couldn't see the person that was telling him to kill them. Almost as if something else was now taking over his consciousness, he was forced to watch from a third-person point of view as his body began to move towards the house in which his parents lived in. Dark Matter formed around the body like an aura, the Dark Matter spreading on the house, turning into red flames that spread out quickly. Suddenly, his body took back his point of view, looking at what he just did. "I… Did this..?" James thought.

"Yes! Splendid, isn't it?!" the voice echoed in his mind.

"No… It isn't!" his said out loud. He heard familiar voices screaming in the burning house… "Mother… Father…" he thought.

"Yes, that bitch, and that bastard are going to die… And it's all your fault! People will now hate you, and loathe you for doing this!" the voice laughed in his mind, fading away.

Finally, when the house had finished burning down to ashes, James' tears stopped flowing, his eyes now made him look like he was dead on the inside. An evil chuckle was heard, coming from behind him, so out of reaction, he turned to see a big, fat man with a large, creepy smile. "What do you want from me..?" James asked in a low voice.

"I'm the Millennium Earl. I know where your brother is." he chuckled.

"Where?!" James asked, hope almost returning to his eyes. A figure walked out from behind the Earl, looking at James.

James' eyes widened slightly and said "Antony…" This was his brother. Cold, dark gray eyes, about 6 inches taller than James since they were 2 years apart, pitch black hair, like James, and his Noah features of course.

"So, you're my little brother…" he said, even his voice was cold, yet dead. James shuddered, hearing his brother's once so warm and caring voice, now cold and dark… Almost not even caring… "Pathetic… I should've killed you the moment I knew you were a Noah…" he said, walking away, leaving his brother.

"Oh well, looks like you're not going to be reunited with your brother. Now I must go. Farewell foolish child." he chuckled disappearing into an Ark with Antony. James was now dead inside… No one to live for… No one to call family… No one close to him that he could call precious to him… Suddenly, Kesenai had walked up to him.

"Hello, why are you out here on your own?" he held out his hand to help him up.

"Because I feel like it…" he responded, getting up, leaving.

"Hey wait, you are one of the kids in my school! I'll see you at school tomorrow!" he said.

"Yeah…" he responded with, in a low, cold, dead, hurt voice…

"Whoa…" Kesenai thought, now gulping.

"That is what I saw…" Road said, feeling sorry that he saw what he just saw.

"I wonder… I usually wondered why he chose to be a third side of the war rather than to join our side… But now I think I get it… He's doing it so he can rescue his brother… But if he fails… Then he may have to kill him…" he thought deeply…

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

Kesenai's consciousness had returned and he looked back at Road. "I now know… I'm sorry that you had to see that…" he said, kissing her cheek. He then looked out the window, wondering what Allen, Lavi, Lenalee, James, and everyone was doing… What they were thinking…. What they really thought of this whole pointless chase down for his life…

"Uh, excuse me, sir. I need information on a guest currently staying here named, Kesenai Tsumi." Allen said to the guy at the front desk named Robert.

"Oh, you mean the black haired kid who stayed here since last night with a blue haired girl?' he asked.

"Yes. Which room is he in?" he asked.

"Over in the west wing, 5th room away from the end. You shouldn't miss it. He left a large sign on that door." he answered, pointing towards the west wing. Lavi and Allen looked at each other and nodded, heading over to that room, now… Their search may have been now over…
