Once Allen had fallen asleep, Kanda slipped out the room, making certain that Allen was comfortable. He could sense two spirits watching over Allen.

"Thank you for alerting me to what was happening to him," Kanda stated.

*Not a problem. We know how important he is to you.*

"You seem to know a lot about Allen, please tell me what's going on. I can't wait forever for him to trust me to tell me," the two spirits were silent, "please... I don't want to lose him or see him get hurt anymore."

Kanda stated as tears of blood streaked down the vampire's face.

*We will tell you, but you can't let Allen know.*

Kanda found himself nodding in agreement as he wiped away his tears.

*Allen was created to be the ultimate weapon. The Noah had found him as an orphan pup wondering the streets. They took him and began their experiments altering him. They changed the very fabric of his being. We couldn't allow this child to be used as a weapon. So we struggled to get him away from the group. We were both killed because of it.*

"Wait, then that would mean one of you is Mana, the man who raised him."

*Yes. I see Allen has told you a bit about me. I am grateful that you have been able to help him; he needs someone to help him out.*

*I am his brother, Neah. We both used to be a part of the Noah group until we found out what they were truly after. They wanted to use Allen to bread more like him since their experiments on him proved to be successful.*

"You mean that Allen..."

*Can bear young. Mana and I tried to keep Allen from their clutches, but as you have seen, the Noah will stop at nothing until they have their prized specimen back. Please protect him. Help him awaken his full powers.*

Kanda was speechless. He had no idea that this was the secret Allen was keeping.'No wonder why he has a hard time opening up. He is afraid that the people he cares for will die, but then again, I haven't opened up about my past.'

*Oh by the way... Allen's birthday is tomorrow. We don't think that he has ever truly celebrated since our deaths as we were the only ones who ever cared for him.*

"Thank you for telling me," replied Kanda.

But then it raised up the question. What to get Allen?! He didn't know what the boy would like. And how could you show how much you mean to the child who brought so much back into his life?The next morning Allen awoke. The images of the ghosts and spirits have become much clearer."Where's Kanda?" he asked.

*Study down the hall...* replied a spirit.

"Thank you!" replied Allen as he got up and changed into some new clothes before heading to the study. Allen knocked on the door before he could hear Kanda tell him to enter.

"How are you feeling Allen?" asked the vampire.

Allen bashfully looked down at his feet.

"Better, thank you. Kanda... how did you know how to counteract the silver and Wolfsbane?" Allen couldn't look at Kanda as he felt embarrassed about how he reacted to Kanda's bite.

Allen didn't hear Kanda move as the vampire laid his hand on the young wolf's chin forcing him to look up. Even with what remained of Allen's wounds, he was a sight to behold.

*Beautiful!* Kanda thought. Allen turned beet red.

"Let's just say that you have two very protective spirits watching over you." Kanda stated as he slowly moved his hand away. "I have something for you."

Allen titled his head to the side as he watched Kanda glide clear across the room as he pulled out a small bird cage.

Inside was a hybrid. An angelic demonic spirit who was golden in color. He had small golden horns, medium golden feathered wings, a long golden tail with a tuft at the end, shaggy golden hair, brilliant gold eyes with small slits, as a gold cross sat in the middle of his forehead. His skin seemed to have a golden tan. Allen looked at the creature in awe.

"Happy birthday Allen!" cheered Kanda.

The words registered deep within Allen as he only knew of two people who once knew what today was. Tears rolled down Allen's face as Kanda went to his protectors side. Tears of sorrow and joy streamed down his face.

"What's his name?" Allen asked in between sobs.

"That's for you to decide," answered Kanda. "Once named he is bound to that person. I figured that you could use a companion."

"Thank you, Kanda. He's perfect." Kanda released Allen as he walked over to the cage. "I will call you Timcanpy. Tim for short." he stated opening the cage.

Timcanpy flew out as he nuzzled Allen's cheek.

"Master~"

"So cute~" Allen hummed.

"I thought you would like him. Now, I have a question," Kanda stated.

Allen turned and looked at the vampire, "what is-"

Another pair of lips interrupted his own, and something seemed to click. Kanda smell was all he took in. The pair of silver eyes that stared at him lovingly seemed to mean a bit more. Allen's whole existence seemed to center around this gorgeous being. Kanda pulled away, and chuckled when Allen leaned in as to not let him slip away.

*Mate~* Allen hummed.

*Yes, love?* Kanda smiled.

"You knew all along!" Allen accused.

"Maybe~" Kanda slurred and wrapped his arms around Allen's waist.

"Why didn't you say?" Allen pouted.

"If I told a werewolf a vampire was his mate, what would happen?" Kanda asked, raising a brow.

"They would laugh..." Allen answered slowly, face flushed.

The golden Tim only hovered near the two, confused.

"Pue~?"
