Tom, he was a piper's son,

"Kanda! Stop going so fast!" Allen snapped at the other, who was quite a ways off.

"If you can eat that much food, then you have enough energy to work it off." The man called back, a snorting tone to his voice.

Allen pursed his lips and tried catching up.

He learned to play when he was young,

"How long will you be playing that?" Kanda snapped at the boy whose back was facing him.

"Mana taught it to me." The boy replied soberly. "I've known this song all my life."

The man snapped his mouth at that.

And all the tune that he could play

"…This song really is getting old…" Allen muttered to himself, and looked back, almost grinning in the process.

He was sprawled out on the couch, an arm propping himself up, but he apparently was asleep.

Allen giggled, kissing the man on the forehead. "Good night."

Was 'Over the hills and far away…'

The man had to stifle a groan as he saw what laid out before them. "Shit." He cursed to himself as his companion caught up.

"Jeez, would you wait once in a while? I don't have long legs as you. One da-" He caught sight of what was in front of him. "Oh my god…"

Over the hills and a great way off,

The city was in ruins. There were piles of dust on the ground, and black stars everywhere – Akuma poison.

"We were too late." Allen said softly, falling beside a small pink dress with dust flowing out of it. A stuffed bear was next to it. "We were too late…" He couldn't help the tears of dismay fall.

The wind shall blow my top-knot off.

"Stop crying, Allen. You can't win this war by doing that. Suck it up." Kanda snapped, but the boy wouldn't move, much less reply.

He groaned, walking over to the boy and picking him up, carrying him away.

The figure from the sky watched them, an amused smile on his face.

"My, my…" It said, and a large wind waltzed through. "Oh…" His hat blew off. "Oh, my!"

Sorry. Inspired by Kuroshitsuji, or 'Black Butler' Meeh.

Reviews would be nice... And ideas, too...
