Chapter 2 – And So It Begins

Soft humming traveled through the empty streets covered in white. A boy—no older than 15—strolled down the white street of the city, a content smile on his face. His hair was pure white and unruly, the front coming to stop just at his shoulders while the back was a couple inches shorter. The black vest he wore lye on top of the white dress shirt accompanying black pants and white boots that stopped a few inches below his knees. A red ribbon was tied neatly around his neck, his white coat hiding most of his clothing.

He turned to his right, following the white road beneath his feet. Even though his eyes were closed, he knew exactly where he going. When to keep straight, when to turn. He knew these streets like the back of his hand. The city—also known as “The Arc”—was the only place he felt at home. The only place he could think clearly.

Allen had been here for nearly five years now. Taking the Millennium Earl’s offer to be part of his family was one the best choices he had ever made. Of course, at first he thought the “clown” was lying to him. No one had ever been that nice to him before. No one but Mana.

Mana wasn’t Allen’s real father. Allen had never even refereed to Mana as “father” until that night five years ago. He was simply someone that had taken Allen in when no one else would. He was someone who didn’t call him a monster or cast him out because of his arm.

His current family was the same.

His new family called themselves the Noah. There were 13 in total, not counting him of course. The 1^st Noah was The Millennium Earl himself. The 2^nd Noah was called Toraido, he was the “Judge” of the Noah. The 3^rd was called Joido, but he liked to be called by his birth name—Tyki Mikk, he was the “Pleasure” of the Noah. Sheril Kamelot was the 4^th. He was called Dezaiasu or The Noah of “Greed”. Sheril is also the blood brother of Tyki but you really couldn’t tell by looking at them. The 5^th was Waizurii, or Wisely, the “Wisdom” of the Noah. Fiidora was the 6^th, the Noah of “Corrosion”. Maashiima was the 7^th, The Noah of Pity. The 8^th is the Noah of “Wrath”, Raasura but he liked to be called Skin. The 9^th was Road Kamelot, the adopted daughter of Cyril and the Noah of “Dreams”. The 10^th and 11^th were Debitto and Jasdero, they made up the “Bond” of the Noah, they were referred as “the Twins” but not by blood. The 12^th was Rasutoru but she preferred the name Lulu Bell, the “Lust” of the Noah. The 13^th was the “Ability” of the Noah, Maitora.

All of them separated their lives: Human and Noah. Along with their human appearance, they led regular lives, but there were some that liked staying in their Noah forms. Once a Noah, they each had golden eyes and ashen grey skin. Seven black crosses displayed across their foreheads; the key sign that they possessed the dominant Noah gene that all humans were rumored to have.

When he had met his new family, he was skeptical at first. Most of them were a bunch of weirdoes at first glance, but as he got to know them…he soon realized he was right. They were a bit weird.

But he was no different. After the incident in the graveyard, after Mana had cursed him, his hair had turned as white as snow. The wound over his eye had healed quickly but it now left the mark his so-called father put on him.

A blood red scar ran down his left eye, going horizontal at his cheek and curving back down. The line at the top of his eye connected to a red up-side down star. A pentacle; and proof of the curse.

Not too long after he was brought here, the Earl told him about his left arm. It was made out of a substance called Innocence. Innocence could only be used by an accommodator called an Exorcist; the enemy of the Noah. The Earl had quickly explained that he was what they called a parasite type, meaning that he and the Innocence were one, in a way. It made sense to him, seeing as he’s always had that deformed arm for as long as he could remember.

The Earl also explained that his new family’s goal was to destroy the Innocence and wipe the world clean of humans—to start anew with the world. He also told him about the Black Order and about the history of the Innocence and the Noah.

At first, after being told all this, he began to feel even worse about himself. If he had Innocence imbedded in his left arm, then he was a threat to their cause, but he quickly found that he didn’t have to be. He could still help his new family. For once, he was glad he could be helpful for someone he cared for.

A smile adorned his face when he remembered the Earl’s comforting words about how he wasn’t useless, how he would be a great help to their cause and how he was a special child.

Silver eyes opened and observed a pair of large white doors that stood in front of him. He knocked softly and waited for a reply before opening the doors slightly and peaked timidly into the room.

Unlike the rest of the Arc, this room was wide with golden walls and black trimmings along the edges, a king sized bed sat to the left of the room, a dresser that matched the bed was to the right. Two other doors were in the room as well, one on each side. The one on the right opened and a man wearing nothing but black pants and black dress shoes walked out, a small white towel around his neck.

“Tyki?”

Tyki looked at the boy and smiled. “Come in boy.”

Alen slowly came in, closing the door behind him, and sat on the bed. He watched as Tyki walked to his closet and fished out a white dress shirt and laid it on the bed. He ran the towel over his wet hair, before letting the semi-dry curly black locks fall down. He quickly picked up the shirt, putting it on, and sat down next to Allen.

“So what do you want to do this time?” Tyki asked.

Allen shook his head, his white locks flying everywhere. He gripped Tyki’s arm and buried his face in the man’s sleeve. Tyki chuckled at the sight and ruffled the boy’s already messy hair.

Tyki pulled out a cigarette and lit it. Allen tugged on his sleeve in disapprovement.

“Tyykiiiii! Those things aren’t good for you!” Allen whined, grimacing at the small stick.

“Maybe not for you.”

“Hey—“

Before he could finish, the door flew opened. Both heads looked at the door before spiky blue hair jumped in between them, knocking all three back off the bed and onto the floor.

“Road.” Tyki greeted casually, as if they weren’t just tackled onto the floor.

Road was a girl about 12 in appearance, she had spiky blue hair and indigo eyes, and wore a traditional European white dress shirt that had a red ribbon tied around the collar and a frilly purple skirt with purple and white stripped knee stockings along with black dress shoes. At first look she looked very innocent and sweet, but she was anything but.

Said girl laughed and hugged Allen, a mischievous smile on her face. “Ne, Allen lets play.”

Allen smiled and laughed nervously. “I’d rather not.”

One of the first things Allen quickly learned about Road was whenever she wanted to “play” with you, it usual involved you running for your life or having very large and very sharp candle being thrown at you while you’re pinned to a wall.

Road pouted. “But I’m bored!”

Allen gave another nervous laugh before shooting up off of the floor and looking at the clock on Tyki’s bedroom wall.

“We’re going to be late for dinner.” He said, pointing to the clock, and leaving the room. He smiled slightly when he heard Road whine before muttering “No fair” and following him out along with Tyki.

Their walk was quiet except for Allen’s soft humming and the occasional clack of their shoes hitting the ground. Tyki blew out a cloud of smoke and dropped the cigarette on the ground, stomping his foot on it before following the two in front of him. Within no time, they were in front of two familiar grand doors.

Inside a large table sat in the middle of the room, fourteen chairs circling it. The walls were a dark brown color with light brown strips, but one would barely notice it because the only lighting in the room were the candles mounted upon the wall.

Everyone was already seated at the table and looked at them as they entered. The Earl sat at the center of the table, wearing the same thing Allen remembered him in when he first met him. The Earl looked up, his grin increasing at the sight of the three.

“Nice of you to join us~! Now we can finally start our family dinner~!” The Earl said sweetly.

Allen rushed to his seat, his face flushed red. Tyki strolled casually to the seat next to Allen and sat down. Road took the seat on the other side of Allen. The doors behind the Earl opened and a few maids came out with their dinner. As soon as Allen’s plate was sat down in front of him, he started stuffing his face.

One thing about Allen’s Innocence was that since it was a parasite type, it drew its energy from its user. Meaning that Allen had to consume a lot of food to keep the Innocence satisfied. Within no time, Allen had consumed more than thirty plates and was starting on his next, literally inhaling his food.

He heard Tyki sigh and looked up at the dark haired Noah with a curious look in his silver eyes.

“It never ceases to amaze me how you can eat like that.”

Allen pouted and continued eating. He was on his next plate when he felt something hit his forehead. He looked down at the small piece of apple that landed on his plate, he blinked before looking up and saw the Twins snickering. His eye twitched when another chunk landed on his head. Calmly, Allen picked the apple from his head. His eyes shifted from The Earl to everyone else—none of whom looked like they noticed, which he knew they did—and back to the Twins. He picked up his spoon and scooped up some of the potatoes on his plate and after one last look around the table, he flung the potatoes at the Twins. He laughed slightly when they met their marks. He stopped when something purple hit him in the face. The Twins victory was cut short when Road decided to join into their little “game”.

Everyone continued eating, ignore them as they flung food at each other from across the table. Only when the Twins got fed up did things start to escalate. The Twins looked at each other grinning before picking up a plate in each hand and threw the plates. Allen’s and Road’s eyes widened before they ducked. The plates flew into the wall, the shattered piece falling loudly onto the floor. Road and Allen laughed at the fuming Twins. Jasdero and Devit gave off a frustrated yell before standing. Wisely and Sheril yanked them back down before they could kick over the table.

“Now now, children.” The Earl chided lightly. “Please behave at the dinner table~.”

The Twins stood again and pointed their guns at each other while pointing at Allen with their free hand.

“It was all his fault!”

“Yeah! His fault, hee hee.” Jasdero agree eagerly with his twin.

Allen gaped at them before standing. “You started it!” He yelled.

“Did not.”

“Did too."

“Did not.”

“Did too!”

“Did not!”

“Did too!”

Tyki put his hand on Allen’s when he prepared to leap over the table.

“Come down boy.” He told Allen softly.

Allen took a deep breath, doing what Tyki instructed, trying not to think of ways to kill the Twins. But that effort was soon gone when an apple bounced off his head and onto the floor.

Dignity be damned.

Allen launched himself across the table, knocking the Twins over onto the floor. He reached his hands out, taking a handful of Devit’s hair and gave a hard tug. Devit yelled when he felt his hair being pulled, and in an effort to get the white haired boy off of him, he grabbed some of Allen’s hair and began pulling. Jasdero was trying to pry Allen off of his twin, but Allen would only tighten his grip on the raven’s hair.

“Let go you little demon!” Devit screamed, fingers never losing their grip.

Allen only tugged harder in response. “You let go!”

“Jasdero demands you let go of Devit!” Jasdero yelled, still failing at separating the two.

“Hey! Cut that out!” Wisely yelled when Devit’s leg made contact with his thigh. The other Noah watched with amusement but none made an effort to separate them.

The Earl grabbed the napkin next to him, cleaning his face from any remaining foods before he looked up at his family. His eyes gleaming behind his glasses.

“We are about to begin.~”

The room became quiet as all eyes turned to The Earl, his grin widening. Allen and the Twins had stopped as well, each releasing each other to give The Earl their attention. Allen looked around him, his family seemed to be ecstatic about what was said. The Earl smiled in understanding at the confused look on his face.

“But, before we start, our dear Allen needs some experience~.”

Allen’s eyes lit up in understanding. “You mean I get to help you?” When The Earl nodded, flung himself at The Earl, hugging the fat man in a tight grip.

He had been practicing using his Innocence for a while now. Everyone participated in helping him master it and now he can finally show them that all their hard work wouldn’t go to waste.

“Of course, you won’t be alone. Tyki will be accompanying you~.”

Although Allen was glad Tyki was coming with him, he pouted at the thought that The Earl thought he needed to be watched. “I can take care of myself.”

The Earl patted his head lovingly. “I know you can, I just don’t want you to get hurt~.” Allen let go of him as The Earl stood. “I will give you two the details in the morning~”

With that said the Earl stood and bid his family a good night before leaving the room. One by one everyone left, each giving their own goodbyes, leaving Tyki, Allen, and Road alone. Road pouted cutely and crossed her arms.

“It’s not fair! I wanted to go with Allen.”

“Don’t worry, Road. I’ll go with you next time.” Allen assured her.

“You better!” She said, clinging herself to Allen’s side.

Finally Tyki stood and pulled out a cigarette and put it in between his lips. He gripped the cigarette, and breathed out a small cloud of smoke after he lit it. “I guess I’ll see you two in the morning.”

Allen and Road watched him leave, making sure to say goodbye before they left themselves.

While they walked, Allen’s mind was set on his first mission. A smile graced his lips at the thought. His future was going to change, he could just feel it.
