Lavi ran to Lenalee's flower shop called 'Innocence Hana'. He was ten minutes too late because he wasn't able to take the route he'd normally use, the roads were blocked. Some sort of weird accident occured there. Lavi didn't care though, he was actually pretty pissed off since he had to run his way around the whole place which got him to wish those people were dead. On top of that, he lost his black bandana on the way, causing his hair bangs to sting in his eye. The other eye was lucky, hidden behind his eyepatch.

Shit! I'm too late! I hope she wasn't waiting for long.. that road just had to be damn blocked exactly when I need to take it huh! Every damn second counts! Why can't people just.. AAH JEEZ. ANNOYING HAIR! I'm almost there... just a little.. further.. Lenalee just wait for me!

Lenalee was checking her cellphone, waiting infront of her store. She didn't go inside yet, just to make sure Lavi was able to find the store.

Aah mooh, he's a little late. It's fine if he's late but I'm just worried something happened to him.. I mean.. I'm still not feeling okay because of the whole Kanda and Allen thing.. if something were to happen to Lavi I wouldn't be able to pull myself together anymore..

Lenalee closed her eyes, trying to ease her worries. She sighed as she put her cellphone back into her pocket. She decided to wait for another five minutes. If he didn't arrive by then Lenalee would call him.

Lavi ran around the corner. It's somewhere here right? Yes, THERE! I can see her! "LEH-.. LENALEE!", Lavi yelled as he ran to her. He was clearly out of breath, but Lenalee did hear him calling for her.

She opened her eyes, stared in the direction the shout came from and smiled. Lenalee waved at him.

"You're late, Lavi!", said Lenalee when the sweating red-head was infront of her.

"So.. so sorry..", he panted as he sat down on the street, gasping for some air. "The road was.."

"Calm down, you! Sit all you want there. I'll open the door of the store and get us something to drink"

"It was.. blocked.. and all.." Lavi wiped some sweat off of his face. He felt a bit better after a few minutes. Lenalee had already gone inside the store.

The first thing Lenalee did was getting something to drink out of the personnel room. Lavi probably wants some lemonade.. hm.. I hope Fanta will be fine. She grabbed two Fanta cans and returned to the front of the store.

Lavi got inside the store. He immediately blocked his nose with his fingers. "LENALEE, This smell is so bad! It reeks of flowers and poop!"

"My apologies Lavi, bear with it for a while", Lenalee replied with a sigh.

"I'm so not going to reach the 30's if this keeps on..". Lavi grabbed one of the Fanta cans.

"Maah, Lavi! Stop that and get serious! Do you have any plans or did you come up with something?"

"Sorry, Lenalee.. but this stench.. Well, no I haven't quite thought of anything- just the fact that I don't even know WHERE to find those two. I'm too scared to ask Cross, Komui or Bookman... Bookman will definitely scold me..", said Lavi as he opened the Fanta can. "Thanks for the drink, by the way".

"You know, Lavi? Yesterday I called Komui Nii-san.. I tried to ask him about it but he tried to hide it from me.. I hope he didn't figure out you were the one who gave the information.."

"Ah.. you did that-.. YOU DID WHAT?!", Lavi almost fell off of his chair. "You do know Komui is going to kill me when he DOES find out it was me?! I'M FOR SURE HIS NUMBER ONE SUSPECT!"

"He won't kill you, don't worry Lavi!", Lenalee smiled innocently, which made Lavi shake.

'Don't worry' she says.. IT'S KOMUI. I don't think she realizes I maybe need to be on the run FOREVER!

"Sire, let's evacuate like everyone else!", suggested Howard Link.

Leverrier and Link were running through the western half of the giant building that was still intact. For the past couple of hours in a slow pace, Kanda had been demolishing everything around him.

Allen was unconscious, still positioned in the cube. Kanda only had done minor damage to the analytical room - around Allen - he had awakened in, so he wouldn't kill Allen. Although, there was a big gap in the room, 'eaten' by one of Kanda's powerful spells, since there was the attached room Leverrier was located in for observation.

"Hitler, you can't run away for eternity. This game of tag will be over soon", Kanda said to himself as he broke an arm of a researcher. The researcher screamed and begged for his life.

"S-someone.. help! HELP!"

Kanda looked down with a cold gaze, "Neither will you, struggling little worm".

He instantly ripped his head off of his body, letting his hands bathe in the warm blood that poured out of the beheaded body.

"Ah, this feels good.. It's so funny how all those dirty worms are crawling back in their holes". Kanda snorted. "I'll kill them all".

"NO! Not yet! We can't leave this place! All our research will be for nothing! Somewhere near here is a secret room where I placed copies of most of our lifework!", complained Leverrier. He was driven quite mad- desperate to obtain the remaining data. "And we still have 'that'.."

"F-fine, sire". Link was unsure if he should stay. He thought the possibility of making it out alive was below one percent if they left in atleast an hour. Who knows how long it'd take for Leverrier and him to take everything with them. What does he mean with 'that'?

"Disappear", Kanda grunted while he pulled someone's heart out. He dropped the bloody heart and walked down the hallway.

What should I do to stop all of this?

- What is it that you are truly looking for? -

Didn't you ask me that before..?

- Your wish. -

Wish?

- Heart. -

What do you mean..?

- Follow your heart. -

.. I want him. I want to protect him. I want to stop this horribleness. I want a world where he and I can live in without getting separated.

- Then.. let's go. -

..Where?

Allen became clouded in a white light. He slowly opened his eyes, looking at the white light that was covering his body. Then, his black hand. Somehow there was a small, green glowing crystal embedded in it. It's a warm light.. could this be..-? Ah.. I see..

He got up, took a deep breath and parted his lips.

"Let's go, together".

The white light became a substance, completely surrounding Allen's body. The substance formed a white-hooded cowl, some of the substance turned into a sleeve covering his shoulders and right arm.

His black arm and hand however, changed. They became completely clad into some sort of armor, making them sturdy. It turned his hand into a claw, razor sharp. Allen's hair received a spiky rear.

I won't run away. I won't hurt myself - and you - anymore. I'll become stronger. I'm going to end this. I'm going to protect you.

Kanda, just wait for me.

enjoy xP I'm hungry D:
