A/N: A lot of people are asking why the Earl didn't recognize Allen. Well. It's dark in the cemetery since it's night when the Earl shows up (in the anime/manga at least), Allen's been crying for hours so his face is red and puffy, his eyes are bloodshot as well, he's really dirty so his hair looks more brown than red-brown, and lastly the Earl is not all quite there and he's living in denial. I'm sorry that I didn't really explain that that well last chapter. It was really late and I kinda submitted it before looking it over because I was super excited. Thank you to everyone who has favorite, followed, and reviewed!

So far we have: Evil Order, Nice Noah in first place; closely followed by Evil Order, previously Nice Noah now Evil. One person has voted for some Evil Order and Nice Noah.

Warning: Other than me probably confusing people? None, surprisingly!

After the fight with Road

Third Person POV

Allen: 15

Allen wakes up to find himself in a strange room. He can only see out of his right eye and at first he's confused, but then the memories come back from his fight with Road.

~~Flashback~~

"Welcome, little lark," the voice rang around him. "Don't worry about your little secret. I'll let you play "hero" for a little while longer. It's too bad your memories were sealed. Only you can unlock them. But first, we'll play." The pure white smile glared down at him sinisterly.

~~Flashback End~~

"Ah, you're awake," Komui sighs from his perch next to Allen's bed. Allen is startled out of his thoughts with a jump when he heard the whirring of a HUGE drill. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you."

"Komui? Where am I?" Allen stutters, almost falling out of the bed.

"Where? It's the hospital. It's a facility associated with the Order," Komui explains once he puts the drill back on to the floor.

"Oh, but why are you here?"

"To heal you, of course!" Komui's face contorts in to a wink with his tongue sticking out of his mouth.

Allen had a deadpan look on his face as he mumbled, "Really?"

"You were too badly injured, so I couldn't just take you back to headquarters. We don't want you to loose your 99% Synchro rate."

"How's Lenalee?" the young man quickly interjects, wanting to avoid the subject.

The older male takes on a solemn expression and tells him, "She's had some nerve damage, so she won't wake up right away."

"Oh, I see."

By this point Lavi was leaning against the doorframe. His wild hair taken out of his headband and somewhat tamed for once. His bangs were covering the right side of his face, hiding his eye patch.

"She'll be fine," Lavi interjects. Allen jumps once more at the sudden noise and looks to the entrance of the room. His eye widens in horror at what he sees. Lavi doesn't seem to notice the look of terror that crossed his face, too busy focused on Komui. "Gramps is looking at her-." Before he could continue Allen let's out a wail of distress, trying in vain to get away from the man in the doorway. He scrambles to the corner of the room with the pillow in his hand, squeezing it to his chest.

"How are you here?! Stay away from me!" The two other occupants in the room stare with wide eyes in disbelief at the small boy screaming in hysteria. "I'm not Red anymore! Leave me alone!"

Komui rushes to the boy's side, but is quickly pushed aside. "No! You're in league with him! You lied to m-," his yelling was cut short when he was hit by a dart. Lavi and Komui look at the door to see Bookman standing at the door with a pipe in his hand.

"Don't worry. It's just a tranquilizer. What happened here, exactly?" Bookman demanded of the conscious people of the room.

"I don't know. All of a sudden he started screaming and demanding how I was here, to stay away from him, how he wasn't "Red" anymore, and to leave him alone," Lavi accounted the events that happened. Timcampy was fluttering hastily over his Master worriedly.

"Tim, do you know why Allen was flipping out?" Komui asked Tim and the Golem nodded its head. He opened its mouth wide and projected the scene of Allen and Cross talking in Mother's house.

Allen POV

"So, what's with the ring Moyashi?" Lavi inquired out of the blue. I stop dead in my tracks, looking up at the taller boy. "What? I saw it on you while you were in the hospital recovering. I'm just curious. Not everyday you see a 15 year old boy with a wedding ring."

"Well, first of all, my name is Allen! Why can't you and BaKanda-" "So you've met Kanda?" "-figure that out? And secondly, it was from my foster father. He said one of his best friends gave it to him because it brought up too many bad memories for him. Apparently the friend's girlfriend died while giving birth to their son, who died five years later. His friend couldn't bare the memories that came with it, so he gave it to my foster father to take care of." I replied, a sad smile crossed my face.

"Can I see it?" He holds out his hand for me to place mine in. I hesitantly took off my glove and placed my hand in his. He whistles low, in an impressed manner. "Damn Moyashi-chan. Your foster father's friend must have been loaded!"

"It's Allen! A-L-L-E-N! And why do you say that?"

He brings my hand closer to his face to gain a closer inspection. "This ring is worth 138,725 pounds (~200,000 USD, I wanted it to be a ridiculous amount, sorry)."

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!" I scream, shock evident on my face. My outburst caused a few people on the street to look in our direction in confusion. "Holy crap. I thought it was worth at most, the extreme, 200 pounds (~288 USD). Mana and I… we were dirt poor. Sometimes we couldn't even afford dinner."

"That's really interesting…" Lavi trails off. His eye becoming blank and filled with nothingness.

"I'm… I'm sorry about earlier, Lavi," I apologize, shame filling my being. His eye refocuses and he cocks his head to the side in confusion. "You know, for freaking out… Confusing you with someone else…"

I feel his hand ruffle my head and I flinch at the contact. "It's ok, Allen. We understand why you did that." He looks at me with a caring smile and hugs me.

"You do?"

"Yeah, Tim showed us when you and Cross talked about what happened. We'll protect you, Allen. Don't worry."

"You can trust the Bookmen, Allen. They are not a full participant of this war," Neah soothed.

-/-/-/-/ After Krory's Arc -/-/-/-/-/

I gaze at the sheet music that I pulled out of my pocket, and Neah starts berating me.

"You need to practice! You've been lazing too much lately," he reasons. His voice making me frown as I try and concentrate.

I reply in my mind, "Well I've kinda been busy trying not to get blown up, sliced up by a samurai wannabe, or stabbed by some crazy pre-teen. What was she on even? Saying she'll keep my secret or something…"

"Busy isn't a suitable excuse. I am enforcing a new rule. You are to practice at least once a day. And when you are sleeping you are going to practice your piano skills. You had all that time on the train and…" I start to tune out Neah's lecture as I focus in on the music, and I practice, hoping to shut him up.

A body plops down in front of me, smiling wide. "I didn't know you could sing, Moyashi-chan!" Lavi cried as he sprawled out. Krory abandoned us a while ago in favor of looking around the train.

I felt a tic and I retorted, "It's ALLEN! What's the matter with you and BanKanda? Do I LOOK like a beansprout?"

"Wow. I can't believe you actually knows what that means," Lavi states, looking at me with an impressive stare.

"Well, Master and I, as well as… Mana and I traveled a lot, so I picked up a bunch of different languages. All those nights learning… It was awful."

"That's so cool! That's how I spend most of my time! Anyway, you never did tell me how you met Yu-chan."

"Yu?" I mutter, uncertain if I heard him correctly.

"Yup! That's Kanda's first name. He HATES it when people call him by that. It really gets to him. That's why I do it! Works every time," he chuckles out, a mischievous look in his eye.

"Ok… Well, when I first arrive at the Order the Gate Keeper thought I was an Akuma due to my scar, so Kanda tried to kill me."

"Sounds like Yu-chan alright. Always on the defense, but don't take it to heart. He's tried to kill everyone at least once. Except Lenalee. He doesn't want to deal with Komui."

"That's understandable." A delicate pause fills the air as I study the music. "It's been a while since Krory left, hasn't it?"

"About two hours and forty-three minutes since he left," replied Lavi matter-of-factly without even looking at a clock.

"We should probably go and find him," I suggested, getting up and stuffing the papers back in to my pocket.

"Why won't you practice, Allen-chan~?" cooed Neah, sending me an annoyed emotion through out my being.

"Because I need to find Krory just in case he got in to trouble," I retort, not breaking my stride. "Plus I know the song by heart, I just find comfort in looking at the music…"

"You ok there, Moyashi-chan?" inquired Lavi, taping my shoulder. I shrug away from the touch and smile wide.

"Yeah, everything is fine. Just thinking about getting more music. This is the only sheet music I own."

"Well, at the next stop we can get you some music to study. How about that?" Lavi offers with a warm smile.

"That sounds nice. I hope they'll have a good selection."

We get to the last cabin of the train and we open it to see a half naked Krory with three men and a boy playing poker... Oh dear.

-/-/-/-/-/ After a few card games –/-/-/-/-/

Tyki POV shift

"Call: Royal Straight Flush. From that look on your face, I would say I win again? What do I get this time?" the boy said angelically. I blink at the vision in front of me. It looked like little Allen when we played poker for the first time. I pushed my glasses up with my knuckles to rub at my eyes, and the vision drifts away.

"Damn it Tyki, I thought you were giving him all the bad cards," Momo interjected.

"I am. Damn kid must be cheating," I bit back after my shock passed.

"Another round, gentlemen?" the boy queries as he shuffles the cards, with his oh-so-innocent smile. "If so, please wash your underwear before handing them over."

Before any of us could respond the train whistle blows signaling that we have five minutes left till the next station.

"Sorry, Shounen. We're actually getting off at the next station. Maybe next time?"

"We're getting off at this station as well!" cried the Red head, bouncing out of his spot on the ground. I eye his Innocence strapped to his thigh as he stretches.

"We are? I thought we were supposed to meet up with the others?" The vampire looking man stuttered nervously.

"Yeah, but Allen here wants to buy some more music. He only has one piece! He needs to explore the world of lyrical paradise!"

Said boy blushes in embarrassment, scratching the back of his head. "Allen, I didn't know you were looking for more music. I would have given you some of the pieces I had in my library… I feel bad now," Vampire apologized profusely.

"No, no! It's ok, Krory. You didn't know. I understand why you did what you did so there is no reason to be upset about it," Allen comforted the older, sniffling man.

The train slows to a stop and we step out of the carriage and Allen hands our clothes back. "Since I won my friends clothes back you can have your clothes. I have no need for them. It's pretty cold here, anyway." He smiles at us. It was so fake it was hurting me just looking at him.

"We don't need your charity, boy," I stated, but grabbed the clothes anyway.

"Your hands say otherwise," he deadpans, causing my crew to sweat drop.

"Thanks boy, thought we would freeze out here today," mumbles Momo.

"In appreciation, here," I start, handing him a deck of cards, "are some cards for you. A poker master like you could always use a new deck every once in a while."

He smiles wide at me, a true smile. "Thank you, but we should get going. Hopefully we won't get in too much trouble for making a detour."

"See you later, Shounen."

We set off on different paths, but I couldn't keep the boy out of my mind. He was so familiar… And that vision. That was strange. I'll have to talk to Road about this later. He was a very handsome boy though, I do admit that. I'm startled out of my thoughts when the public phone rang to my right. I sigh, knowing who it was already.

A/N: Ok? Um. Well. I feel this is more of a filler than anything. It explains a couple things people were confused on, I think. If anyone has any other questions, feel free to ask! PM, Review, either works! The whole Road thing may be a bit confusing, I'm sorry and will explain it later on in the story. I hope you all liked this portion. Would you guys like me to do the filler that the anime put in, or would you like me to continue with what the Manga did? Don't forget to vote for your evil/somewhat evil/good people!
