Hello ha
Hello anyone out there.
Disclaimer: I don't own DGM
Also BlackKiryuu, it's here! Your review made me start writing this chappie again with a slightly snarky remark. I bet anyone reading would appreciate that :)
ENJOY!
...
"Oi get up you piece of shit" was the first thing Allen heard.
What a perfectly divine way to wake up.
He opened his eyes lazy to look sideways at the man hovering above him.
"Why?"
"What do you mean why? There's been a Noah sighting in the town over. Komui wants us there now."
Ah, the mission.
They had been sent out as recon. Plus, they - like all the other exorcists - where put into the field for positioning.
The Noah were turning up in random places at random times, seemingly with no connection or pattern. Because there was no way to find where they would be next, the exorcists were sent to be ready and waiting for them when and if they came.
...Allen just didn't expect to be put into action already.
He was planning on trying to summon his innocence privately. Just bit by bit so he could get a handle on it and know his limits.
Now he wouldn't have time.
He groaned. Kanda huffed...Neither felt like talking much.
Allen stood, stumbling around the room to grab his clothing. He made his way to the shower, still half asleep. When he made it to the bathroom, he pointedly ignored the mirror. Slowly, he did as he needed, almost mechanically...his mind slowly coming to life.
...it was getting harder to wake up.
He felt like he was eighty. That everything he did put massive strain on his body. That waking up was worse than a nightmare.
He felt like it was getting hard to live. But he would never give up, never stop walking. He would keep walking down his path and straight into his grave if that was what it took.
But that didn't mean it wouldn't hurt.
He knew his death was going to be a slow and painful one. Hell, it could take years of this before his body finally gave up.
Or it could be seconds.
Life was fickle now, so fragile like a delicate flower. And so easily crushed.
But he didn't really know. He could be a daisy, or he could be a cactus. It was logically to hope to be the latter. But sometimes, just sometimes...
He wished he could be the daisy, just so it could all be over soon.
What a way to live.
But, he wasn't really living either.
He was dying.
And then there was his personal shadow demon. And with that he guessed that there would at least be one advantage to his death.
The bastard would die with him.
Neah needed his family lineage to live off. To haunt. To posses. And since Allen didn't plan on children any time soon...or ever he guessed, Neah wouldn't get anyone else to sink his talons into.
The bastard would have no choice but to let Allen's body become his grave.
And that thought made Allen smile a little.
_...
"We are literally chasing shadows." Allen remarked, watching Kanda search in the bare park the Noah sighting had been.
Allen only stood there,matching Kanda intently glare at everything with a constipated look on his face.
Looks like he trying to use his brain, instead of jumping straight to anger.
Allen was silently applauding him within his own mind.
Because Kanda was already uptight enough. It might just set him off.
See, Allen always played with Kanda. Testing him and annoying him, right to the edge. And then he would ease off, finding something else to do.
It amused him.
And he was beginning to understand the way Kanda functioned much better now.
And he knew when not to push him too much. Like now.
"You are literally on my last nerve, Al-Moyashi."
Allen stopped still, turning to gape at the concentrating samurai.
"You almost called me Allen." He whispered, feigning shock.
Kanda tuned to him then, standing in the middle of the rather large park. He frowned at the boy, clearly looking though his short term memory. Clearly, he hadn't been concentrating on the good Ol' convo they had been having.
"So you think of me as Allen in your mind?" Allen asked, but more like stated. A smile on his face.
Kanda didn't reply for a moment, before he growled lowly, the deep sound rumbling right through Allen.
And that was all the warning he got.
"Hello little brother." Was the strange soothing voice from behind him.
With a Portuguese accent.
...Tyki Mikk
Allen gasped audibly, having not sensed the Noah's dark aura as he approached the two innocence users.
But, Allen had to point out. If you were to be more correct, Allen innocence once was in fact using him, but at the moment, that information was completely irrelevant.
They had a much more pressing matter right in front of them.
"Yes, you are little brother now...because it seems our beloved traitor Neah as found his way inside you"
Allen whipped around, backing away from the eloquently dressed Noah and towards Kanda.
"Oh no, not to worry." The man cooed, looking over Allen in a way he really didn't like. "You, I like to much to kill...yet. It's only a matter of time before Neah takes you over and then I'll kill you both."
"Gladly." Allen remarked, and Tyki looked taken aback.
"What?" He frowned, watching the two exorcists carefully.
And Allen was just about to tell him why he would be so glad for Tyki to kill Neah and himself in the near future, when a hand grabbed him just above his elbow.
"Don't say it" was the hiss right next to his ear. The sound vibrated though him.
Ah yes. He couldn't let the Noah know that innocence was perfectly capable of killing its host, even without being a Fallen one.
Or the fact that the infamous Destroyer of Time may only have weeks to live. Or days, or minutes...or seconds.
And if he activated his innocence here...he was like 86% sure that it wouldn't be pretty.
Not that he was pretty anyway. Should probably add that as a factor into those percentages.
"Oh what do we have here...a little secret? Well, as the Noah of Pleasure...I may know a few little pillow talk secrets. Because people are very willing to spill their deepest secrets during pillow talk. And look at me, haven't told a single soul." The Noah boasted.
Allen decided he hated him almost as much as Neah.
Allen winced when Kanda grip on his arm tightened. Seemed their feeling towards him were neutral.
"Only because petty human gossip is of no interest to you, Noah. Exorcist matters, well. You hate us." Kanda remakes nothing short of pure snark.
"Ah, so you admit there is a secret?" Tyki beamed, before he disappeared. And for a minuscule second...Allen believed he had left them alone.
Before he reappeared right in front of Allen.
He grabbed the boys chin, twisting his head up to stare him in the eyes.
Allen heard Kanda sword unsheathe over his own rapidly breathing heart.
He felt the lure darkness that radiated from the man, staining him where he came into contact with his skin. He felt the pull of his innocence, and tried to activate it without thinking.
Before he forced himself to stop. Yes, he was terrified. But, his life was not in enough danger for the 50/50 chance that he may die trying to active his innocence.
And besides, he had a rather angry ally right next to him.
Kanda lunged at the man, forcing him to let go of Allen to dodge the poisonous weapon.
Allen gasped, like a weight had been lifted from him. Kanda looked at him sidelong as he kept up his defensive stance.
"Are you able to fight?" Kanda asked lowly, watching the Noah as the noah watched them from 5 meters back.
Allen searched within himself. He could feel the strain upon his body already, just from this small but rather non-violent encounter.
And he knew he couldn't do a single thing when it all turned pear-shaped.
Kanda watched him freeze up at the prospect of his vulnerability, before sighing.
"Just stay behind my back, and keep watch. You may need to dodge since he seemed to want this information from just you in particular."
Allen nodded, trying to control his emotions.
Because this was the first time he'd ever been without a weapon within a Noah's presence. Actually, there had been that one time with Tyki in the Forrest...But look how that turned out.
And Allen had a feeling it could end up with him actually dead this time if he wasn't careful. Because, no matter how human Tyki acted...Allen knew he wouldn't be able to control his bloodlust.
And he could very well kill him in his bloodlust just because he was an exorcist...and not because of the extra 'the-dude-inside-me-betrayed-you' bit.
So yeah, he was rather terrified.
Kanda shifted his katana in his hand, and Allen moved behind him with careful steps.
"Innocence, activate!" Kanda yelled, and his blade glowed brightly. The Noah flinched at the celestial light, before growling at him viciously.
And lunged.
Kanda met him halfway. They clashed, Tyki,s dark energy forming a shield against Kanda's strike. He hissed, then shoved Kanda away and leapt again.
Allen hastily backed away as Kanda was shoved back. He virtually cowered behind the older exorcist, as the Noah fought the male with vigour.
And he had never felt more unless.
He complete relied on Kanda's strength, and his ability to protect him. Because, without Kanda...there was nothing to stand between him and the Noah.
No innocence, no nothing. He would like a simple human...trying to fight something that was a hundred times more powerful than he was.
And it seemed the mans noah held a tiny grudge since the last time they had met, and Allen had almost destroyed him.
His human side wanted Allen secrets, and the other wanted to reck havoc upon his body and soul. Plus the fact that the other soul within Allen's body was a traitor.
And if he was alone...He thought those would be good odds.
Good odds of dying.
But then again...he was a little ahead in that department.
"Come on little brother, let your little body guard move out the way...I want to play with you." He said creepily, grinning at Allen sickly as he continued to fight Kanda.
And Kanda was doing a fantastic job. The man had dealt him few injuries in the moments Allen was absorbed into his self-loathing. He was strong.
But Allen could see the signs of exhaustion seeping in.
He knew Kanda wouldn't let exhaustion or injuries get in his way, he would just heal himself. But Allen refused to let him do that...and for his own sake no less. Because if Kanda healed himself...he could end up in the same situation as Allen. He could loose another lotus petal.
And he really didn't have many left.
Allen just hoped they could make this end before they both came to desperate measures.
...but fate had never been fair to Allen.
