2 Years Later-

"No. When you battle, you want to wait till your opponent makes the first move. Now try again," Tyki instructed, pointing at the spot Allen had started in.

They had been training more, and Allen was learning more than he had before, and in case he had to defend himself against someone else, like Cross.

Tyki ran at the 12, nearly 13, year old boy. Right when he swung his fist, Allen ducked and slid under him, landing behind him.

"Good. Now use every advantage you can get against your opponent."

The boy nodded curtly, and grabbed Tyki's arm, twisting it, but Tyki pulled it out, and pulled a round-house kick at the boys side. he ducked at the last second, and kicked at Tyki's back, knocking him back.

"Good. Now continue like this. Never be afraid, and face any situation head on."

Now was the time Allen was wishing he remembered what Tyki had said about being brave. Because he was currently alone. On a train. Without anyone to help him get home.

He was on his way with Jasdevi to go and find Tyki-who was on a mission-when the two boys ran off, leaving Allen alone. On a train.

He was currently in a corner alone, hugging his knees, as he was pretty much terrified of everyone in the train. Tears were running down his cheeks..He was alone once more, with no one to comfort him.

He kept sobbing to himself, until a pair of black boots stopped in front of him.

0o0o0o0o0o

"Uhh...Jasdero.."

"Ye?"

"I think we lost the squirt.."

"Oh.."

"Shoot."

'Welp, we're dead."

"You wanna go look for him or?.."

"I say we go hide.."

"Agreed."

0o0o0o0o0o

"Are you okay little boy?" a soft female voice asked.

Allen looked up, and saw a girl about 14 years old with dark olive hair, and bright violet eyes peering down at him. She had a long sleeve shirt, and a short skirt.

He sniffled slightly, not looking at the cross embroidered on her breast jacket. He nodded lightly, and looked down again.

"My names Lenalee, what's yours?"

"A-Allen.." he stuttered.

"What's wrong Allen?"

"Well..I lost my family at the station..and now I don't know what to do," he sniffled.

"Hey, hey, it's okay Allen-kun. Here, you can stay with me and my friends until we get to the station. Then we can call your family, that okay?"

Allen nodded, and took the girl's hand, standing up shakingly.

She led him away, towards a boy with long raven hair held up in a ponytail, and sapphire blue eyes, that were currently narrowed at everything. And lastly, a boy with flaming red hair, and a green bandana holding it up, an eyepatch covering his right eye, and a forest green eye.

"Oi. What's with the brat?" the blue eyes teen growled.

"Kanda! Be nice!" Lenalee barked, as Allen hid behind the girl.

"Che."

Lenalee just rolled her eyes, and gestured towards this 'Kanda' and the redhead.

"Allen, this is Kanda, and this is Lavi," she chirped.

"Hi," Allen whispered, and observed them both. That was when Lavi crouched down to the boy, and smirked, "Ey, what's wrong half-pint?"

Allen's eyes just widened as he finally saw the silver rose cross on each of the three chests. His breath hitched.

Exorcists!
He hid his surprise, and just smiled slightly, hiding his innocence arm behind his back.

"N-nothing.."

"Mm..sure. Ya don't look fine, but whatever shortstack," Lavi commented, with a snicker.

Allen's eyebrow twitched, "I am not short! And my name is Allen!"

"Heh..Sure kid, sure."

"Uh...I think I should go." Allen muttered trying to come up with an excuse to leave, before the exorcists found him out.

"Why? What's wrong Allen?"

"I..uh-I just..er,"

"Yeah, why're you so eager to leave?"

"Surprised you all don't see it," Kanda che'd.

"What do you mean Kanda?" Lenalee asked, cocking her head to the side slightly.

"Take a look at the moyashi's arm you baka's."

Both of the exorcists looked at Allen who was currently backing away slightly, hiding his arm even further.

"Allen? Can we take a look at your arm please?" Lenalee asked with honey.

Sad boy shook his head vigorously, continuously backing away from the three.

Kanda just growled slightly, and stood up. In an instant, he was behind the boy, holding his innocence arm in an iron grip.

"H-hey! Let me go!"
Ignoring the boy's protests, Kanda ripped the glove off the boy's hand, revealing his glowing green cross.

Lenalee gasped, whereas Lavi just nodded, a knowing look on his face.

"You're coming with us," Kanda practically barked.

"No! I don't want to!" Allen cried, tugging at his arm, trying to get it free but with no avail.

"Eh, why are you so scared kid?"

Allen just stayed silent at Lavi's question, and glared up at the older teens.

Kanda just che's and started to drag Allen out the door, near a small bird like thing flying in the air.

"Oi, Komui!" the teen barked into the flying object.

"Kanda! No need to be so loud. I was trying to sleep!" the voice from the object-a golem Allen guessed-whined.

"Just shut up. We found an accommodator."

"Really! That's wonderful! Bring him or her right over!" the voice-a man's-chirped.

Kanda nodded curtly, and began to drag the struggling boy away, the two other teens trailing behind him.

They were just about to exit the room, when they all heard shouting from the other cart. Lenalee opened the door to see what the shouting was from, and saw three men on the floor fully clothed, playing poker with some random guy who was stripped down to his underwear.

"Uhhh.." Lenalee trailed off.

The man in the middle with shaggy dark hair, and thick glasses looked up. His eyes narrowed behind his glasses but no one could see it.

"Eh? What do ya want?" the man with thick glasses snapped.

"Just uh..wondering what's going on," the girl murmured before stepping out.

But right before she shut the door, the man with thick glasses saw a small white-headed boy crying out, in the grip of a raven haired man who was dragging him away.

Now dubbed "Thick Glasses"' eyes popped at the boy, "Allen!" he shrieked.

Said boy snapped his head towards 'Thick Glasses' "Tyki!" Allen cried, and broke from Kanda's grasp miraculously, and ran towards Tyki.

"Yo, Tyki. This kid yours or something?" one of the men to Tyki's sides asked.

"Eh? Oh no, he's me err, Nephew! Yeah," Tyki reassured.

"Uhm..Well sir, your nephew is going to have to come with us," Lenalee said, bravely, her voice steely, but crumbling.

His eyebrows raised before narrowing at the three, "And why would my precious Nephew go with you fools anywhere?"

"He's an accommodator for innocence. The brats coming with us!" Kanda sneered, getting closer to the pair. Allen whimpered slightly, and hid behind Tyki's back.

"Don't let them take me Tyki!"

"Don't worry Shounen. I won't," Tyki murmured, pushing Allen behind him.

"Boy's. I gotta take care of somethin', cover me will ya?" and with that, he grabbed Allen lightly, and took him out the door to the three exorcists.

"So why, pray tell, would I let him go with you, accommodator or not?"

"Because it's his duty," Lavi stated simply, seriousness in his eyes.

"Psh! Don't give me that bs! You ain't gettin' anywhere near my nephew!"
"If you don't give him to us, then we'll have to take him!" Kanda growled, and snatched Allen away.

Tyki was trying his hardest not to let his 'black' come out, and trying not to blow his cover.

Allen tried to get away, but Kanda twisted his arm backwards, making the boy cry out in pain.

That was the last straw for Tyki, as he snapped. The lightly flickered.

Once.

Twice.

Before they went out, and darkness shrouded them all.

"The hell!"

Lenalee shrieked, Kanda swore, and Lavi just narrowed his eye.

With the darkness as cover, Tyki gave a cheshire grin, as his skin bled gray, and his golden eyes gleamed in the darkness. His clothes changing into a familiar suit, and top hat. The Noah's stigmata etching onto his forehead, and dark matter swirling around him dangerously.

"So~" Tyki drawled, a glint of madness in his eyes, "You said you wanted to take dear Allen away from us eh?" he purred in the darkness.

Lenalee activated her dark boots, the bright light off them glowing in the darkness, Kanda unsheathing mugen-still keeping a tight grip on Allen-and Lavi pulled out his hammer, ready to use it all a moment's notice.

"I don't think you understand the situation you're in right now~" he laughed with a velvety voice.

"However~" the laugh died down, "I do not want dear Shounen to be scared anymore than he already is. So I guess-" in an instant, he was behind Kanda, snatching Allen away, "-I'll take him with me now~"
And with that, he was gone. The lights flickered on, and the compartment was empty, "What the hell was that!"

"I don't know..But it's not something good.." Lenalee sighed, putting Allen in her memory to remember him whenever she got the chance.

0o0o0o

"Are you okay Shounen?" Tyki asked, kneeling down to Allen, both of them out in the wilderness, as Tyki has just phased through the wall of the train, and jumped out.

Allen just nodded, and clutched his arm tightly.

Tyki grabbed the arm a little more forcefully than necessary, earning a squeak from Allen. The man's features softened, as he apologized, and looked over the boy's right arm.

Where Kanda had grabbed it, was sore, red, a bit swollen. Tyki muttered a curse before turning to match a silvery gaze, "He's sure got a tough grasp eh?"

"Yeah.." Allen just murmured softly, looking at his shoes.

"Eh, Allen are alright?" Tyki asked gently, using the boy's real name.

"Yeah..It's just.." he looked off, "I should have been able to help myself, and not rely on you so much. I was afraid, and forgot what you said..I guess I just wasn't thinking..I'm sorry.."

"Come on Shounen! There's nothing to worry about! You at least knew they were the enemy, and tried to get away! I mean, I don't know how that weirdo, Kanda knew you had innocence. But still!" the man cheered slightly, before frowning.

"What is it?"

"I have absolutely no idea how we're going to get home.."

"Oh."

"Speaking of which. How did you get on that train alone anyway? It was lucky I was there.."

"Oh..well, I was sorta looking with Jasdevi for you, but the two ditched me on the train, and went who knows where!" Allen snapped at the two who weren't there.

"Well, don't worry. I'll just tell the Earl about it. He'll take care of them..again..

"Yeah, hopefully."

"And if he doesn't do anything. Then I will," Tyki growled at the last part.

Somewhere across the world~

"Hey Devit?.."

"Ye?"

"Why do I suddenly get the feeling that someone's going to kill us?"

"I dunno, but we should keep on running!"

"Agreed!"

The two shuddered, and kept running away from the rage of their family that was soon to come.

2 hours later~

"So~" Adam drawled, "I heard Sheril was coming to stop bye."

The noise of someone banging their head on the table was heard. "Uhg!"

"Tyki!"

"Anyways!" Adam interrupted, chuckling at his family's actions, "I heard Allen was getting better at fighting, is that right Tyki-pon?~"

"Don't call me that!" Tyki whined, very unlike himself, but sighed and regained his composure, "Actually, he had gotten a lot better. The boy is now able to weild his innocence as a weapon, and also white knowing how to fight properly. But there is still a long way to go."

"Sounds good. Lulubell? How's dearest Allen's schooling coming along?"

A small, and rare smile cracked at her lips, "He's a very fast learner, and has already exceeded his normal grade level."

"Excellent!"
"Uhm, guys!" Road interrupted, I mean, she was fine talking about her Allen-kun all the time, but that was when she noticed the real problem.

"Yes?"

"Where is Allen?"

0o0o0o

"Hello? Anyone?" Allen called out into the long, long, long halls of the..wherever he lived. He was lost.

Again.

He sighed, "At least I have you Lero, right?" he turned to his left, but in it's place was a nonexistent umbrella. He had gotten lost a few miles back.

"Dangit! And now I'm starving!"

.

..

...

Okay, so I want to explain why I was gone to two days. I was moving for the past week in to an apartment, and WHOOP DE FRIGGIN DO! WE DON'T HAVE WIFI! So I gotta wait like, three days-because we were fully moved in by Sunday-to get WiFi and write this out, because the cable err whatever dude didn't come till today to get all our electronics, TV, and WiFi set up. This was a rough move, but than you all for waiting patiently, YOU ARE AMAZING!

ANYWAYS~

So, I just wanted to mention, that Lavi is acting a bit..off. And I made him like that, because at this moment in time it's like, 3 years till Allen goes to the Black Order in D. Gray-man, so Lavi would still be new to the black order. And I though, that well-when he first joined he wouldn't be the fun loving Lavi we all know and love, he would he the bookman Lavi. So as the time progressed, he starts to gain more feeling, pushing his bookman side to the corer of his mind and such. Yada yada yada, I won't go into much more detail. Anyways, I'll try to get the next chapter out by Monday. So yay, only a few more days!

ALSO~

'asdf' thank you for that comment, i do admit I have a problem with to many commas sometimes, but I will try to dial it down. Thank you for telling me this, and I hope I can make the story more enjoyable to you!
