So, according to the latest chapters of
D. Gray-man (spoilers incoming), Lenalee's Innocence is not a
parasite type but a new “crystal” type. So, that was a
jump to conclusions on my part so just pretend I didn't fuck up back
there.

Rhode was stunned. Completely and
utterly stunned. It was the answer she wanted, she hungered for, she
craved. But right now, all she felt was disbelief. Had he really said
it? Did he mean it? Was he just toying with her?
No.
The look in his eyes told her that his
answer was pure and honest.
Allen Walker loved Rhode Camelot.
And then she fainted.
Blood
Chapter 9
Rhode woke up around an hour later. Her
head was throbbing lightly and it was taking her a moment to register
where she was.
Must have hit my head,
she thought to herself, Must've been right after
Allen...Allen! She quickly sat
up from her position on Allen's bed and looked around the room
quickly to locate the cursed boy. Fortunately, she didn't have to
look long. In fact, she practically didn't need to look at all since
he had been sitting right next to her on the bed she lay on with a
tray of sweets.
“I don't
really know what you like besides candy,” Allen said with a
smile as he handed her the tray, “so I just got a few extra
sweet things with breakfast. I always order a lot so no one was
suspicious when I said I'd be taking some of it to my room. Well,
Lavi gave me a strange look when there was something I didn't finish
immediately, but still, it's not like anyone followed me.”
Rhode was silent.
She was simply staring at Allen. She didn't even notice her own
stomach grumbling. It was a full thirty seconds before she broke the
silence.
“Were you
telling the truth?” she asked, “Did you really honestly
mean it? Did you honestly find it in your heart to love someone like
me, who's done horrible things like me, who goes against almost
everything you stand for like me?”
Allen's smile
didn't falter for even a second, “Yes, I meant it. And I do
mean it.”
“Then say
it,” Rhode said. Allen could swear, he heard just a hint of
pleading in her voice, “If you really do, you won't have any
problems saying you love me.”
Allen let out a
light chuckle, “You should eat. I'm sure you're hungry,
considering all the noise your stomach made (Rhode blushed slightly
at the comment about her growling stomach).”
Rhode frowned
through her blush, “Allen!”
Allen smiled softly
at her then started to walk out the room. Rhode growled, grabbed a
donut from the tray, and hurled it at the back of Allen's head as he
neared the door. He quickly raised his hand and caught the pastry
moments before it could hit him. He turned and smiled at the Noah.
“I love you.”
Rhode's heart
skipped a beat as Allen exited the room and locked the door behind
him to prevent anyone from discovering his secret. The Noah sat
silently for a little while before leaping out of the bed and letting
out a victorious “YES.”
Allen sighed as he
began walking towards the infirmary. He was still worried about Bak,
Reever, Komui, and the others who had been injured during the
invasion and the attack of the level 4 akuma. It was true that none
of them were infected by the akuma virus but they were still battered
as hell and only human. They couldn't take the amount of punishment
that an exorcist could. Though the amount of punishment Johnny took
was almost beyond belief. He had been impaled, nearly devoured by a
combined akuma, beaten, thrown around, and almost killed so many
times. It was a miracle that he was still alive. Though the worst
blow Johnny took was the loss of Tapp. Tapp had been turned into one
of the Earl's skulls before having a hole put in him by the level 4
akuma then falling to dust in Johnny's arms.
Despite all this,
his thoughts were still focused on the little girl waiting for his
return in his room. Her and the doubts he couldn't force from his
mind.
Is this really right?
he thought as he walked along, Can I really fall for
someone like that? What can come from a love between an exorcist and
a Noah besides tragedy were someone to find out? The consequences of
this kind of love...Is it too much? But...what can I do? I love
her...and I can't change that. I have to be true to myself...and to
her. I just need to find a way to make this work.
First thing Allen
did upon arriving was check up on Crowley's condition. The man was
slowly recovering from his confrontation with the combined Jasdevi
but at least he was recovering. Next he checked on Komui, who was in
the middle of crying out for Lenalee and bawling over the fact that
she hadn't visited him yet today.
Maybe someone should tell him that
it's only seven in the morning and that she's still asleep,
Allen thought to himself as he handed Komui a tissue box.
Next stop was Bak,
who was eagerly but silently also awaiting a visit from Lenalee.
Komui had been somewhat of an obstacle in Bak's attempts to see her
but now that they shared a room in the infirmary, Komui had no choice
but to let the China branch's head see Lenalee lest he would deprive
himself of her normal visits. Everyone was just praying that he
wouldn't create yet another Komurin to somehow put an end to this.
Next was Johnny and
Reever. Reever had been getting along fine but Johnny was having
trouble staying still. Tapp's death had hit him sort of hard but he
was managing to cope, much to everyone's relief. For now, he was
confined to a wheelchair but he seemed able to continue, regardless.
His visit didn't
last much longer. He said his farewells and generic “get well
soon” comments before going back to assist with the rebuilding
process, despite protests and threats of brutal physical harm from
the head nurse. As he began to resume his work, all he could think of
was how easily all this damage had happened.
Just so easily,
Allen thought to himself, It was a message...He's telling
us that he can kill us whenever he wants...
Allen sighed, And if he can kill us...
“Rhode,”
he whispered.
Yes
indeed, Rhode was the one most at risk. Were anyone, any single
individual to find out about what Rhode had done, only chaos and
peril could befall either of them. The Black Order would try to
capture Rhode, maybe even try to kill her or worse. And if the Noah
or the Earl were to find out, she would surely die as the fourteenth
had. And the only thing that could protect her from either side was
him.
What have you gotten yourself into,
Allen? He grabbed his forehead
and groaned, Falling in love with a Noah...I must be out of
my mind. I'm putting myself in more danger than ever before. And
her...If anyone finds out, she's even worse off than I could ever be.
Allen
stopped where he was and leaned his back against the nearest wall,
brushing back locks of white hair out of his eyes and breathing
deeply, What was I doing, just saying it so openly like
that to her? It's too much. If I had just shut my mouth, I could have
kept her safe, kept her far far away. It would have hurt but she
would have been relatively safe...So all I can hope to do is try.
It's the least I can do for her. It's all I can do for her...But is
that enough?
Allen
would soon receive the answer to that question. But what answer would
that be?

I hate
this chapter. I hate it so much. It took me forever to do because I
got stuck at one point and everything after that point was crap,
crap, crap, crap, crap. Ugh. Hate this chapter but I need to get it
out of the way. I don't even know what direction I'm going in with
this story anymore.
