Allen sat in his giant silken bed, the, Noah's had given him in his new room. It was quite plain, as, Road said she would help decorate it with, him the next day.
He was alone in the room, the quiet large room, that was even larger in comparison to, Allen.
Allen wasn't used to such a big room, and it made him feel lonely, and small. He even resorted to laying in the middle of the bed, but he couldn't get a good feel to this new room.
Taking a quick glance around the large room, Allen slid off the bed, and pulled off one of the many blankets, and one of the large pillows.
He went over to the window sill, and climbed onto it, wrapping his blankets around him like a cocoon, the pillow like a small mattress, which he laid upon. Feeling secure in his little blanket cocoon, in the corner, on top of the window sill, his eyes fluttered down. The warm blanket of sleep embracing him, and he subdued to the darkness, falling into his own dream state.
(A/N~I'm going to call the, Earl by his name(Adam) because it's easier while writing)
Adam was sauntering towards the, Noah's newest members' room, to say good morning, as the day would be quite a busy one. But when he entered the room after knocking, he did not expect to see, Allen laying asleep on the window sill, in a cocoon of blankets.
He smiled almost lovingly at the small child, and shook his head in silent laughter, before softly walking towards the boy, and gingerly shaking him awake.
"Allen~ Time to wake up~"
Allen just groaned, and rolled over, completely ignoring, Adam's struggles to wake him.
"Allen," Adam called a bit louder.
No response.
"Allen?" even louder now.
Once again, no response.
This continued till, Adam was practically yelling the boy's name, but the child still wouldn't wake up.
He rubbed his temples, sighing loudly, before his face lit up with an idea. With a manic grin, he raced out of the door, to the main family room, where most of the, Noah were residing.
"Does anyone volunteer to wake up dear, Allen-kun? He seems to be quite the heavy sleeper?" Adam chirped mischievously.
"Oh! Oh! Me! Pick me! Me!" Road practically screamed.
"Somebody?"
"Meeee! Pick me!"
"Anybody?"
"I said me! Pick me, Millennie!"
"Nobody?"
"We'll do it~" Jasdero volunteered, him and, Devit standing together.
"Ah! Jasdevi~ So nice of you to accept! Now, off you go~" Adam shoed them away, before turning to, Lulubell once the idiot twins were out of earshot.
Adam sighed, "Follow them, Lulubell, and make sure they don't do anything idiotic.."
"As you wish," Lulubell stated calmly, with a curt nod, and stood up, her dark black hair, swinging behind her.
"Come, Mimi."
"Yes, ma'am!" an akuma that was in a human form at the moment, with chocolate brown eyes, and white-blueish tinted hair held up in pony tails, and a maid's outfit followed closely behind.
"Millennie! Why didn't you let me go and wake, Allen-kun?" Road pouted, and hung off of, Tyki's neck.
"Because, Road," Tyki choked, "He know's how you get with cute things," and with that, he flung her off his back.
Road just huffed, and crossed her arms, crossed, glaring daggers at, Tyki.
"Here it is! The twerps room!" Devit cackled.
"Let's go get 'im~hee!" Jasdero laughed like a madman along with his twin.
They both got on either side of, Allen (who mind you was still soundly asleep in wonderful dream land with mitarashi dango).
"WAKE UP, ALLEN!" they both screamed, and, Allen bolted up, punching both, twins in the face in instinct.
"Owie!" Jasdero groaned.
"My nose!" Devit cried, "Holy-" but his cuss was cut off by a certain tall, Noah by the name of, Lulubell who bonked his head with her fist.
"No swearing, there is a child in your presence, idiots!" she scolded.
"Uh..sorry..I should have warned you all not to wake me up like that.." Allen chuckled nervously, and rubbed the back of his head.
"No worries, these imbeciles deserved it," Lulubell sneered at the two.
"Oh, well. I'm fine with it then," Allen said, still chuckling at the twins who were on the floor dramatically crying in pain.
"But are you okay? My punches can hurt," Allen asked, with genuine worry.
"Eh, don't worry kid, we got super healing powers!" Devit declared, at rubbed, Allen's head playfully.
"Hey!" Allen pouted like the little kid he was, "Don't do that.." he grumbled.
Jasdero snickered, "I guess you're pretty cool, kid. What do ya think, Devit?"
"I think he's in. BUT FIRST!" Devit stuck a stupid pose, his arm sticking up, "We must give him the initiation!"
"Uh..initiation?" Allen asked, cocking his head to the side slightly.
"Yes! In order to fully accept you, we must do a prank of the ages against one of the, other Noahs! Are you up to the challenge?~heehee!" Jasdero asked, joining, Devit in the stupid posing.
"So who you gonna choose?"
Allen sat down cross-legged, and began ruling out all unbreakable, Noah, "Let's see. Not, Road, 'cause she's scary when she's mad-"
Unconsciously, everyone shuddered at this thought.
"-Not, The Earl, because he doesn't seem like the kind of person for one..That, Sheril guy isn't here anymore from what you've all told me..Lulubell is right there so that rules her out, same with you too..I don't want to get on, Skinn's bad side..so that leaves,"
"Tyki," the three said in unison.
"Lulubell," Allen asked, pulling out the puppy dog eyes, "Please don't tell, Tyki about this," he pleaded.
Lulubell cracked a small smile, that surprised both the twins, and, Mimi who was a bystander in this, as, Lulubell rarely ever smiled.
"I shan't dear, Allen," she said, amusement lacing her voice, as she stepped out the door, "Oh, and good luck," and with that she, and, Mimi were gone.
"Oh. My god!" Devit gasped dramatically.
"You got, Lulubelle's blessing! This is going to be flawless if she think so~haa!" Jasdero cackled at the situation.
Allen chuckled darkly, and what everyone dubbed, 'Dark Allen' came out, "And I know exactly how to do it!"
All, Tyki wanted to do was relax, and read a book, but of course, Lulubell, just had to walk up to him, give him a not, and walk away without a word.
He opened the note, and it read:
Yo, Tyki
We got, Allen her with us, & if u don com her, u'll neva c him again!
Jasdevi~~~~
Tyki just sighed, he was doing that a lot lately, "Why must I be dragged into these things?!" he asked no one imparticular, and trudged to the, twins room.
He just fazed threw the room, and saw, Allen dangling from the ceiling, looking quite upset.
Allen's left eye twitched in annoyance at the twins, who just betrayed him, they heard his plan, and then bailed, tying up, Allen and going with their own plan.
"Shounen?" Tyki asked, eyes half lidded, still groggy from being tired.
"Help, those, morons double-crossed me," Allen mumbled, voice monochrome in annoyance.
Tyki stepped forward to grab, Allen when the boy was yanked up by someone higher in the room, "Ya might want to get out of here, Tyki. Their trying to prank you, y'know," Allen said, like he was stating the obvious.
"I'll just get you down," Tyki said, this was starting to get interesting.
Allen was yanked up roughly, earning a grunt from the boy.
"You can't get him~" Devit sung mockingly.
"Help me please," Allen groaned, "I'm being held captive against my will by two double-crossing morons."
Tyki smirked at his deviously, before phasing through the floor, out of the room, but not before whispering to just, Allen, "I'll be back, don't worry."
"Eh? Guess he didn't care," Jasdero said, and turned to where, Allen hung.
"Can you let me out of here, now?" Allen pleaded.
"Nope! You are our hostage now! Buahahaha!" Jasdevi synchronized.
Allen sighed in annoyance, and decided to just hang around..heh get it? Hang? Around? Allen mentally kicked his brain for such a stupid joke.
Meanwhile~
"I request aid!" Tyki declared, his dark hair, messy, and covering his golden eyes.
"Yeees?" Road drawled.
"Hmm?" Lulubell hummed.
No one else was really present, as they were either out of the house doing whatever, or out on some exorcist mission from, Adam.
"Allen had been kidnapped by, Jasdevi and I am requesting assistance from you too to get him back."
Lulubell raised a dark brown at this, "What happened?"
"I went to get him back, and he said the twins double-crossed him or something, and are now holding him hostage."
"Then we shall get, Allen-kun back! Nobody hurts my, Allen-kun without meeting some of my dear, dear friends," Road growled, candles flying up, behind her.
"Eh, I like the boy. I'll help you," Lulubell said, and nodded, surprising both, Tyki and, Road.
"Then we're off!" and the three started off, heading towards the, twins' room. Little did, Jasdevi know, their impending doom was coming to retrieve, Allen, and destroy them as a side quest.
The trio reached the door, when, Tyki stopped, "So, how are we doing this?"
"I brought, Lero!" Road giggled, excitedly, holding the umbrella in a death grip.
"Okay, good! I'll go in as distraction, Road will go in and snatch, Allen, and, Lulubell, you go behind the twins, and go in for the kill. Everyone clear?"
"Yessir!"
"Mhm."
"Then away!"
And everything was going great, and according to plan! Road got, Allen back, Tyki was distracting the twins, and Lulubell was going in from behind to go in for the kill.
Until, Jasdero twisted around at, Lulubell, and shot his pistol, at her, a big bolt of blue shooting out.
Tyki cursed under his breath, "Retreat!" he yelled, and ran out the door, Lulubell behind him, a calm expression, but still laced with hidden amusement, and excitement. Road flew behind them, holding, Allen in a death grip.
The twins were right behind them.
"Oi! Give the twerp back!"
"Yeah! Give 'em back~hee!"
"Over you're dead body!" Road yelled back, purposely changing the way she said the phrase.
"Get back here!"
"Road, get, Allen to, the Earl! He's our only hope! Lulubell and I will hold them back!" Tyki called over his shoulder the the duo flying on a panting, Lero.
"Roger!" Road laughed, and took off.
Tyki and, Lulubell were ready to take on the twins.
Everything was quiet, the air whizzing past the two, when cackling was heard behind them.
"Crud! How did those two idiots get past, Tyki-pon and, Lulubell!" Road cried, and came to a decision.
"Allen-kun, take, Lero with you, and fine, Millennie! I'm going to hold off the twins, just get. to. Millennie!" and with that she ripped off the rope that still constricted, Allen.
"Good luck!" she yelled before jumping off, of Lero.
"Ack! Why is this house to strange," Allen mumbled to himself, "Hey, Lero? Can you take me to where, the Earl is right now?"
"Sure thing~lero!" the umbrella spoke, and fled off, leaving, Road to the two twins.
After many, many turns, they reached set of doors. Lero set to hovering, and neared the door, letting, Allen knock.
But he stopped.
"Eh?~lero. What is it?~leromph-" Allen covered, Lero's mouth, and put his ear to the door.
"Ya think the twerp will know we're in here?" Allen heard, Devit's voice.
"Nah, he'll think it's, Earl. So we're good," Jasdero's voice rang out.
Allen scoffed to himself silently, those two really didn't know how to keep quiet. did they?
"Lero, I thought you said this is where, the Earl was?" Allen whispered.
"I thought so~lero. Those two must have done something~lero..But I think I might know where, Earl-sama is now~lero," and with that, he took off.
The two flew by, dodging traps that were placed all around the mansion, trying to catch, Allen, but with no avail.
The two finally reached the dining room, where, Adam sat at the head of the table, doing paper work, and waiting for the rest of his family to arrive for the much delayed breakfast.
"Yes!" Allen whisper-cheered to himself, and bent down to, Lero's face, "Be very quiet, and don't attract attention, Lero. We don't know where the, twins could be hiding," Allen murmured, and Lero nodded-as well as an umbrella can nod.
The two levitated across the room, carefully, and silently, before they came next to, Adam.
"Psssst," Allen whispered, causing, Adam to look down and see him.
"Allen?"
"Oh thank goodness it's you!" Allen muttered exasperated, and went closer to, Adam, who lifted the child up, and put, Allen in his lap, kind of like a father would.
"What's going on? And where are the others?"
"Okay, so the twins told me to prank, Tyki, so I joined them, but them double-crossed me and held me hostage in their room, until, Tyki came to save me, but he left, and came back with, Road and, Lulubell, and they nearly got away with me, until, Tyki and, Lulubell separated from us to stop the twins, but something happened, so, Road told me to go all on my own and she left to stop the two. And, Lero and, I went to get you, but it was really the, twins pretending to be you, so, Lero, and I came here, and here we are now," Allen said in one big breath.
"Mm, that is quite the story. We will have to retrieve the other at once. After that, I will relay a punishment onto, Jasdevi!" Adam declared.
"Woop!" Allen cheered, and, Adam stood up, walking out, to retrieve his dear, Noah's.
First stop-Tyki & Lulubell
"So around here you say?" Adam asked, Allen who was currently, riding on, Lero, next to, Adam.
Allen nodded curtly, and when the two-three if you count, Lero-turned the corner, and saw two giant coffins, standing upright..
"Eh? Anyone in there?" Allen asked, knocking on one of the coffins.
"Shounen? Is that you?" Tyki muffled voice called out.
"Tyki! Wait..Why can't you get out of there?" Allen asked, while, Adam was chuckling, and going towards the second coffin, where, Lulubell resided.
"Blame the twins," Lulubell sighed, grumpily.
"Ah, I'll get you out of there in an instant!" Adam chirped, and his clown form wrapped around him entirely, and with a single pull, both coffins were swung open.
"Uhg! Thank you, Earl. It was quite stuffy in there," Tyki grumbled.
Lulubell just nodded thanks, and folded her arms behind her back, waiting for their next move.
"I guess we should get, Road now," Allen suggested, and all others nodded.
Next Stop-Road
"So…" Allen trailed off, running a hand through his now, nearly all white hair.
"Poor, Road.." Tyki mumbled to himself.
Road was squished between two giant purple pentacles, and was shouting at the long gone twins to let her out.
Adam shook his head sadly, and heaved off one of the purple stars, letting, Road free.
"Allen-kun~ You're safe!" Road cheered, and glomped, Allen protectively, growling at everyone that got near to him.
"Now to take care of the twins.." Adam drawled, "Why don't you all go off somewhere else, there are some things I need to take care of.."
All-except, Adam-nodded, and scampered off together to another room, leaving, Adam to his business.
Let's just say that night, many screams, and sobs were heard that morning..And the by the time, lunch was ready, Adam was there, smiling as if nothing had happened, two golden pistols in his pocket, twins no where to be seen.
"Ne, Allen-kun, I think we can take off your bandages off now, what do ya say?" Road inquired. Allen had gotten so used to seeing through one eye, he forgotten all about it.
"Uh, sure.." he trailed off, and with a steady hand, started unwrapping the gauze. All the wrapping slowly fell off, and all eyes-except for, Allen who couldn't see it-widened.
"What?" he asked softly.
Road brought a mirror out from absolutely no where, and handed it to, Allen.
His molten silver eyes widened, as he saw the result of the scar. It started with a pentacle on the left side of his forehead, going down across his eyelid, until it strayed left, then down vertically, another stray mark right under his eye.
Not only that, but his hair was now a snow white, instead of, auburn, he looked nearly completely different, if it wasn't for his molten silver eyes.
That's when an, Akuma maid walked in, and his left eye changed into a black and red target. He screamed in pain, and clutched at his left eye, all the other, Noah's present rushing to his side instantly.
Bloody red tears, fell down his face, and Adam ordered all, Akuma out of the room, as if knowing what was going on.
Adam's worried face, along with the others was the last thing, Allen saw before submitting to the darkness, and falling unconscious.
