So this chapter is a HUGE time skip, from Tuesday to Saturday. I thought that the story was taking forever, so this will be the day of the and his boss, will be revealed in this chapter. I hope you guys are ready for who they are, even I don't understand why I picked them. Oh, and I won't be typing the whole songs out, because it would take too long, and it would bore you. I don't own D. Gray man, Momma Hoshino does.
Lavi was calling Allen, he didn't have a reason to call him, he was just feeling lonely. The phone rang a couple times until Allen answered.
"What's up Lavi?"
"Nothing, I was just lonely. So talk to me, bud, what ya doin' today?"
"Did you forget, or are you stupid? Scratch that, you have photographic memory, you can't forget things. That only leaves one option."
"Wait, what day is it today?"
"It's Saturday, nimrod."
"Oh… Hey Allen, why are you so cranky right now?"
"Maybe it's because you decided to call at 5:00 A.M."
"C'mon beansprout, this is the time I normally wake up. Oh wait, isn't today your concert?"
"YES DIPSHIT! NOW, LET ME GO BACK TO SLEEP!" Allen was clearly not in the mood to be talking with the energetic rabbit.
"Sheesh Beansprout, take a chill pill, and maybe some sleeping pills too. Actually don't think you should take sleeping pills, you'll over sleep and miss your concert."
"I won't take any pills, you pirate rabbit. Just let me go to sleep, you imbecile."
'Fine, fine. Have a good rest. Don't forget to wake up early!"
"Stupid Lavi, now I can't go back to sleep." Allen could be heard growling like a caged animal.
"COOL, NOW I CAN TALK TO YOU FOREVER!"
"Please, whoever is up there. Please don't let me listen to him anymore."
"That was mean, beansprout. I've never done anything to anger you."
"You have done something to anger me."
"Really? What did I do?"
"You called me early in the morning. You started yelling when I told you that I would be able to go to sleep anymore. And then you say that you haven't done anything to anger me."
"What're you trying to say beansprout? Are you breaking up with me?"
"Lavi, we were never together, and what I'm saying is, is that you are the reason I'm moody right now."
"Isn't there a nicer way to say harsh things?"
"Not in my world. Anyway, can I hang up now?"
"Yeah, but then what will I do? I mean, there is nothing to do here and I'm bored," Lavi then heard what sounded like the call ending.
'Some people can be so rude.'
5 hours later…
Lenalee was getting ready to go to the concert, when the door rang. Lenalee went to open the door and saw Kanda in casual clothing, ready to leave for the concert.
"Kanda, don't you think it's a bit early?"
"Che. We might as well get some breakfast."
"Yeah, and there might be traffic, so we should get going." Lenalee then turned around and called for her brother.
"Yes, my beautiful sister?"
"I'm going to get breakfast with Kanda, and from there we'll be going to the concert."
"OK, Have a good time!" Komui could be seen waving his hand from the front door. He then shut the door and all that could be heard was the clanks of metal and evil laughter.
"I swear, you need to take him to a mental hospital." Kanda shared his, somewhat, smart idea, which only resulted in his getting whacked on the back of his head.
"Don't say such things, idiot. He just enjoys making robots." From behind the door, a human-like scream could be heard, and it didn't sound like Komui.
"I think he kidnapped someone. We should call the poli-" Kanda was stopped in the middle of his sentence, because he was kicked in the gut, and he went flying into a nearby bush.
"That is… his new invention! It may sound like a human, but it's really a robot." A couple minutes after she said that, and when they were about to leave, they heard the "Human-like robot" shouting in pure terror.
"PLEASE HELP ME! ANYONE, PLEASE RESCUE ME FROM THIS TORTURE!"
"Are you sure that it's a robot? Because the last time I checked, robots don't scream for help, they don't even have emotions." Kanda was clearly ready to kick the door open, when Lenalee did it for him.
"WHAT IS GOING ON IN HERE?!" Lenalee was furious, at first, but then her expression turned into one of pure horror. The sight in front of her, consisted of Reever, being tied up to a metal platform, with a laser about to slice him in half.
"Nii-san, letReever-san go. If you don't, I won't talk to you for a week, which means that I'll sleep over at Kanda's house. I'm sure he won't mind." Komui was obviously torn by what she threatened him with, so he did what any normal, loving brother would do; He began to cry like a baby. That's what normal brothers did, right? RIGHT?! Anyways, Kanda and Lenalee left to get breakfast, and then they made their way to the concert.
Allen was getting dressed, and so were the rest of his bandmates. The makeup artists were doing Road's makeup and started using temporary dye to dye Allen's hair reddish brown; Allen's makeup artist also started to take off Allen's face cream, because it hid his bright red scar. While they were getting dressed, they started talking about him.
"So I heard from Suman, that he is back." Tyki was trying not to cause Allen to go into a panicked state.
"Yeah, I remember Suman telling me this, when I felt the observing eyes of someone." At this claim, Tyki sprang from the chair he was on, causing the chair to be knocked over.
"He was watching you?! When did this happen?" Tyki was being overprotective again, but that let Allen know that he mattered.
"Well, it kind of happened on Tuesday." Allen was now pushing his two index fingers together, and having a nervous facial expression.
"It Kind of happened on Tuesday? Are you serious Allen? Something could've happened to you, especially when we don't know what he's capable of."
"The thing is, is that I didn't feel him watching. It felt like someone else, and I've never felt those watchful eyes."
"What?! He's got someone working for him? Great, just great!" Just as Tyki was going to rampage, Road's makeup artist finished, and Road immediately sprang towards Tyki to stop him.
"Calm down, Tyki. There is no guarantee that he has someone working for him. What if it was just a coincidence that Allen felt someone looking at him, then Suman telling him that Narain is back?" When Road said her theory, she automatically regretted it because she saw Allen flinch at the mention of Narain.
"Oh, Allen, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say his name, it just slipped out!"
"It's ok, Road. It doesn't bother me that much, anymore. Anyway, it's almost time to go. Are you guys ready?" At Allen's question, everyone responded with a 'Yes, sir.' As they were making their way to the stage, Tyki pat Allen on the back.
"Let's have a good time, okay guys?"
They were about to make their big entrance, when they heard the shouts of their audience. The different colored lights were flashing everywhere. Then a puff of smoke started appearing on the stage, and two white lights shined on the microphone. The silhouettes of the band were now present, and made the audience cheer and clap louder. As soon as the smoke started to clear up, Allen began to speak.
"Hello there Everyone!" At Allen's greeting, the audience replied. Once they replied, Allen kept the conversation going.
"So, who's ready to start?" The audience cheered louder than when the doors to enter opened. Just as the cheers of the audience began to die down, the sound of a peaceful piano melody began to play; Allen gripped the microphone and closed his eyes.
Full of despair inside a darkness
Self-conscious and scared, held prisoner of war.
Running out of air, buried in a sadness
Want a way out of this paralyzing world
And the sound of the cries when a family's loved one dies
It echoes through a vacant room where a young soul still resides
When the night is cold and you feel like no one knows
What it's like to be the only one buried in this hole.
You can make it to the sunrise
(Woah. Woah. Woah.)
You can make it to the sunrise
(Woah. Woah. Woah.)
The sound of Allen's voice filled the entire building. He continued to sing to his fans, and enchanted them with his luscious voice. Soon, the song finished, and then the band started to prepare for the next song. While the band was preparing, Allen decided to have another conversation with the crowd.
"So did everyone enjoy the first song?" The crowd cheered, whistled, and shouted in appreciation. The band gave a signal that they were ready for the next song, and Allen took notice of it.
"Who's ready for the next song?" Loud cheers were heard, and they began to play the next song. The sound of a guitar filled the entire building. The crowd was waiting for the song to start; then their waiting was cut short, when Allen began to sing.
Saketa mune no kizuguchi ni
Afure nagareru Pain in the dark
Kasanaeta shunkan no tsunagaru omoi tokashite
Samenai netsu ni unasarete saigo no o emo kikoenai
Don't cry! Kowaresou na hodo dakishimetara kimi ga furuete ita
Oh… sotto kazasu te no hira ni furete misete Never… Unitl the end
Koboreochiru suna no you ni
Hakanai negai o Close to the light
Tojita kini no onokage ni karenai namida nijinde
Hodoita yubi no sukina kara
Inori ga fukaku tsukisasaru
Don't cry! Hatenai itami to kanashimi kara kimi o sukueta darou Oh…
The song went on, the crowd joined in, and everyone was happy. Soon enough, the song was over, and the band let Allen talk to the audience.
"Sorry to upset you guys, but that was the last song!" Allen was obviously joking, but he got a bunch of disappointed groans from the crowd. They then started to chant 'Encore! Encore! Encore!' That was when Allen knew he had to clear things up.
"I was just kidding! The next song will be the last song, and one that means a lot to me, because it was for my father who passed away." Allen was about to start tearing up, but he cleared his throat, straightened his back and pressed on. Allen's bandmates were looking sympathetic, but the sound out a piano, started playing.
It's been a long day without you my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
We've come a long way from where we began
Oh I'll tell you all about it when I see you again, when I see you again
Damn who knew all the planes we flew good things we've been through
That I'll be standing right there talking to you about another path
I know we loved to hit the road and laugh
But something old me that it wouldn't last
Had to switch up look at things different see the bigger picture
Those were the days hard work forever pays now I'll see you in a better place
How could we not talk about family when family's all that we got?
Everything I went through you were standing there by my side
And now you gonna be with me for the last ride
In the middle of the song Allen almost broke down, but he was strong enough to hold it in. He made it to the end of the song, and made everyone feel emotional. Allen put his whole mind, body, and soul into making and singing this dark yet peaceful melody. Then there was a split second of silence, until everyone present started clapping and cheering. This made the entire band happy.
"Thank you for coming everyone! I hope that you all arrive safely to your next destination. Oh, and at the exit, you will each receive a balloon with each of our signatures! And if you don't want it, then you don't have to take it." At his last sentence, he made puppy dog eyes, and technically forced everyone to get a balloon.
"So, take care, everyone!" The band got off of the stage and made their way towards the backstage. At the backstage, they were met with a lot of fans with backstage passes, hoping to get a picture with each band member. In the distance, the mysterious silhouette was leaning against a wall. He was watching Allen closely. He moved when he saw that Allen was looking around for someone.
"Boss, I'm reporting because the target seems to have a lot of work cut out for him."
"Are you serious? He's in a famous band, and you expect him not to be busy?"
"I'm sorry, sir, it won't happen again." Although 'Snake' was loyal to his boss, he didn't like his arrogant boss. He would much rather have the 'Hitler-stache' man.
"It better not happen again, just contact me when heis done taking pictures." The call ended, and 'Snake' was left to keep watch.
The last person to take a picture with Allen was Lavi, so you would expect him to do something when Lenalee and Kanda aren't around. Lenalee left because her brother was going to start wreaking havoc, and she dragged Kanda along because he was he ride. So that left Lavi in the present situation, walking and talking with Allen.
"So Allen pretty cool tattoo you have there."
"Tattoo? Oh! No, this isn't a tattoo, it's actually a scar. I had a traumatizing past, but it was also the best part of my life."
"Oh, so you got that how? Or is it persona-" Lavi was cut off by another voice.
"So Allen, I haven't seen you in years, much less heard from you." The voice seemed to make Allen freeze like a statue; But that didn't stop Allen from making a joke.
"Like momma Hoshino?" Allen was looking at Lavi in a confused manner.
"Yeah, but I hear that she's coming back." Lavi seemed to be excited about this newfound news, which also excited Allen.
"Really?!" Allen went on his phone and went on foogle*. "Foogle, remind me to check up on Hoshino's story." Once Allen was done, he turned his phone off and put it in his pocket. The unknown man cleared his throat, startling Lavi and Allen.
"Oh yeah, we someone was talking to us." Lavi sounded confident, but in reality, he was trying to keep his pounding heart from pounding out of his chest.
"You forgot? I thought you had a photographic memory." Allen stated in a 'matter-of-fact' tone.
"Yeah yeah, who is this guy anyway?" Lavi was looking at Allen for some answers.
"That is Narain." Allen responded to Lavi, and then addressed the man now known as Narain. "How did you find me, fucktard?"
"Wow, you've been go for about 5-6 years, and that's the greeting I get?"
"You're lucky you even got a greeting, douchebag." Lavi knew that Allen wasn't Black Allen because he was cocky, and right now, he wasn't cocky.
'Normal Allen is scarier than Black Allen? How does that happen?' Of course, Lavi was confused, but he didn't want to get him by 'Normal angry Allen' so he stepped away from the two.
"I asked you a question: How did you find me? I made sure to stay away from you." Allen was trying to get back to his bandmates, but curiosity and anger were controlling him right now.
"I had someone following you of course. Would you like to meet the one who was following you?" Narain was smirking and was obviously trying to unsettle Allen, but Allen wasn't budging. Instead of getting disturbed, he was calmer than Lavi.
"Yeah, I'll meet him. Bring him out, I'm curious."
"You were always the curious type, like a kitten. Come on out, Snake." A blonde haired man, with two dots on his forehead, came out from the shadows. "Introduce yourself." Narain ordered, in a cold tone.
"My name is Link Howard, also known as Snake. It's a pleasure to meet you." Link stretched out his arm to shake Allen's hand, but Allen rejected his hand.
"No, the pleasure is all mine." Allen still had cold-hard eyes while looking at Link straight in the eyes. Lavi saw that Link shuddered, so he started to smirk.
"So Allen, should we take a walk? It's been a while." Narain looked at Allen in the eyes, and showed interest in something about Allen.
"No, I don't think we should take a walk, but you can take a hike. C'mon Lavi we should get back to the room, they might start to get worried."
"Right behind you bud!" Lavi waved at Allen's already retreating back, but stayed to talk to Narain. "I don't know what you did to Allen in the past, but you better not do it again, or I will personally hunt you down." And with that, Lavi left running towards Allen.
"What interesting friends you have now, my little angel."
