Trembling Heart
Chapter 14

“ALLEN-KUN!” Miranda yelled as she shook the girl.

Miranda checked her pulse, it was faint very faint. Allen’s breathing was very shallow, her chest was barely moving. Miranda continued to shake the girl. Allen’s eyes opened and Miranda cried harder.

“Miranda, why is the light so bright?” Allen asked making Miranda panic.

“LENALEE! ALLEN’S TALKING ABOUT A BRIGHT LIGHT!” Miranda yelled at Lenalee and Krory.


“Damn!” Lenalee said. “There’s no end to them!”

“We have to get Allen out of here.” Krory stated.

“Way it looks Allen’s refusing.” Lenalee replied as she destroyed two akuma.


“Tyki what can we do?” Rhode asked as Tyki walked on the air beside her.

“Leave, the babies are fine right where they are. We can return for them later.” Tyki replied dodging Kanda’s attacks. “Allen looks bad as well, we better let them take her to the hospital.”

“Alright then!” Rhode said as her door appeared. “Bye for now exorcists!”

“We’ll be back for the babies one day.” Tyki said with a wink before they disappeared into the door.


The akuma disappeared when the Noah did and Kanda sheathed Mugen. He ran over to where Allen was and fell to his knees before her. Lavi, Lenalee and Krory ran over to them. Kanda took Allen into his arms holding her close. Miranda stood and backed away a bit to give them some room. Tears burned at Kanda’s eyes as he stared down at Allen. He held one of her hands feeling how cold she was. She gave him a faint smile.

“Yuu…the girls are okay…” Allen said barely above a whisper. “…we need to get them to the hospital…”

“Don’t worry, we’ll get you to the hospital. Just hold on!” Kanda said as Allen’s eyes started to close.

“I love…you Yuu…” Allen whispered as her grip on Kanda’s hand loosened.

Kanda jumped up with Allen in his arms. He turned to Miranda.

“You’re coming with me and we’re taking the horse. Lenalee follow us with the twins.” Kanda said as he walked over to the horse. “I’m taking her to the hospital ASAP.”

“Be careful!” Lenalee yelled as they rode off. “Come on, we better hurry!”

“Alright Krory-kins! Let’s get these girls and run!” Lavi said as he picked up the basket.


When they arrived at the hospital the nurses took the twins. Miranda sat in the lobby crying. She told the others only Kanda was allowed back with Allen. Krory tried to calm her as Lenalee and Lavi used the phone to call Komui.

“WHAT! I’LL BE THERE ASAP!” Komui said before the line went dead.

Lenalee sat down beside Miranda and Krory while Lavi paced the floor. After a while Lenalee couldn’t stand it any longer.

“Lavi sit down!” Lenalee ordered.

“I can’t! They haven’t been in there for 3 hours!” Lavi replied. “We haven’t heard anything or even seen any sign of them!”

“Well at least sit down! You’re scaring the other patients!”

Lavi grumbled as Lenalee forced him to sit beside her. Komui came running in and up to them.

“Is there any news at all of Allen’s condition?!” He asked while panting.

“No, sit down Nii-san.” Lenalee said as the doors opened.

Kanda came up to them and everyone stood. He was paler than normal and his gaze was distant. Lavi ran up to him and shook him.

“What’s wrong? What about Allen and the twins!?” Lavi said as he gripped the front of Kanda’s jacket.

“The twins are fine, they’ve been moved to the nursery.” Kanda replied.

“What about Allen?” Komui asked as Lavi looked like he could kill.

Kanda looked away and Lavi snapped. Komui and Krory grabbed him before he could do something to Kanda.

“She’s gone.” Was all Kanda could say.

“What?” Lenalee said as Miranda started to cry again.

“What happened?! Tell us God damn it!” Lavi yelled.

“The girl version of Allen is gone.” Kanda finished making everyone look at him. “She died but…”

“I came back.” Said a voice.


They looked behind Kanda to see Allen as a boy sitting in a wheel chair. Lavi ran forward and hugged the boy who was in the wheel chair.

“OH MY GOD! YOU’RE ALIVE!” Lavi said as Allen rubbed his back.

“I’m fine Lavi…I’m being moved to a room.” Allen said as Lavi let go of him.

“Are you sure you’re okay?” Lenalee asked.

“Yeah, the doctor said I was in good health and could be moved to the birthing department.” Allen replied.

“I’m so glad you’re alright…” Miranda said as she leaned onto Krory.

“Well the good thing is that Allen-kun is back to normal.” Komui said walking up. “I believe we best leave him to rest for awhile since he did lose a good portion of his blood.”

“I agree.” said a nurse as she walked up. “Mr. Walker is being moved to a room near the twins. Mr. Kanda can show you the twins while we get Mr. Walker settled.”

“Can we stay?” Krory asked as the nurse smiled.

“Of course, visiting hours don’t end for another 3 hours.” the nurse said as she walked up behind the wheel chair. “I’m afraid we have to be going.”

“See you later. Show them the twins Yuu.” Allen said as he waved as the nurse wheeled him away.

“First name bases I see.” Lavi said as Kanda gave a glare. “I OUGHT TO KILL YOU FOR ALMOST GIVING ME A HEART ATTACK!”

“What happened in there?” Komui asked as Kanda turned.

“Not here, I’ll tell you after you see the twins.” Kanda said. “Follow me.”

“Have you named them?” Miranda asked as they walked toward the nursery.

“Yes, I’ll tell you when we get there.” Kanda replied as they went through a set of doors.

“Kanda, what do the twins look like?” Lenalee asked as they entered a different part of the hospital.

They walked around the corner and there was a wall with a pane of glass in it. Kanda pointed to the window.

“Look and see for yourselves.” He said as Lavi ran to the window.


Everyone looked to see two little girls wrapped up in white blankets. One had blue hair and the other had white hair. Kanda tapped lightly on the glass and the twins opened their eyes. The blue hair babe had silver eyes while the white hair babe had deep blue eyes. Everyone just awed at them as they yawned and went back to sleep. Miranda, Lenalee and Komui were crying. Krory was on the verge of tears. Lavi was trying not to cry. Kanda gave a faint smile as he watched the girls.

“Well?” Lavi said turning to Kanda. “Who’s who?”

“The white hair babe is Ayame and the blue hair babe is Hikari.” Kanda replied. "Ayame Walker and Hikari Kanda.”

“They’re so beautiful!” Komui said as he blew his nose.

“I get dibs on the first baby sitting duty!” Lavi said making everyone except Kanda laugh.

“Kanda, can you tell us what happened after you get Allen here?” Lenalee asked as all looked to the swordsman.

“I’ll start when we first arrived and got Allen into the hospital…” Kanda started.
