Chapter 6 - The Dawn of Demise
Komui sat at his desk exhausted. He gave a sigh and removed his glasses.
"What a night," he groaned, rubbing the bridge of his nose. He had gotten out of an emergency surgery with Kuu.
Ah Kuu, if she didn't have the same healing abilities as Kanda and Alma she would have been dead long before Allen brought her in. the wound wounds on her body were horrible. She suffered five gunshot wounds and a couple of deep slashes. Not to mention her chest - though slowly healing - was practically cut open. The poor child seemed to have been through hell and he couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
He squeezed his eyes shut, trying to block the image of Kuu's surgery from his mind. It was the bloodiest he'd seen. Just then there was a knock on the door. He sat up in attention and placed his glasses on.
"Come in," he called out.
The door was pushed open and a lost looking Allen stepped in.
"Allen-kun?" Komui adjusted his glasses. "What do I owe the honors?"
"I want to know how Kuu's doing," Allen asked a bit hesitantly. "Is she alright?"
Komui nodded smiling a bit. "Yes she will be fine," he replied to reassure Allen. "Kanda-kun stopped by to hear about her condition. You just missed him."
Allen nodded. He walked forward and took a seat in the couch before Komui. His shoulders sagged and rested his head in his hands.
He raised his head, looking at Komui with a look of surprise on her face. "Is she really alright?"
Komui mistook the surprise in his voice as one of relief and nodded. "Yes Allen-kun, she'll make a full recovery."
"You're pretty awesome doc," Allen said with a bright grin. He got up and turned to leave. "Yeah I'm sure she'll recover."
Komui froze when he heard what Allen called him. Yes, he was his doctor but never once since he woke up had he addressed him a 'doc.' Only the old Allen would call him by that title. But he didn't anything different in Allen's behavior. The feeling he got from Allen was the same as always. Nothing felt different, nothing had changed.
But he was skeptical.
"Allen-kun, wait," he called out. The light hit his glasses at an angle, hiding his eyes from view.
Allen turned back with a smile on his face. "Yeah, what is it?"
Komui looked at Allen. At his expression and his smile. There was nothing different, but why couldn't he shake the face that there was something definitely wrong? He was Allen's psychiatrist when he had fallen pray to his madness and he was able to perfectly read his emotions in the past. So why wasn't he able to now?
Maybe he was just over-thinking things.
"No, it's nothing…" Komui tried to convince himself of that.
The smile on Allen's face widened. "What's wrong Komui? You seem a bit…jumpy."
Komui shook his head. "Really it's nothing. I'm just a bit tired that's all."
"Kuu's operation took it out of you didn't it?" Allen asked. The smile became creepier. "Those wounds were horrible weren't they?"
Komui had his head down so he didn't see the smile, nor did he sense anything shift with Allen's persona.
"Yes it was," Komui replied sadly. There were warning bells sounding in his mind. "The worse part was the knife woun…" his voice trailed off as he remembered where he'd seen wounds like that before.
Those precise cuts on her chest weren't meant to kill her. How couldn't he see it? The way her chest was slashed open wasn't like any random stabbing. They were done accurately, purposely avoiding any vitals. It was a technique meant to torture. And only one person he knew would do something as cruel like that.
He raised his head to stare at Allen, seeing the expression on his face. His glasses were shrouded in light and he calmly took a breath. He was right to trust his gut feeling.
"Allen-kun," his face was a mask of seriousness. "I see that your memories have returned."
The smile on Allen's face grew more grotesque. "What gave you that idea, eh doc?"
"That little slip of the tongue that you had earlier actually," Komui still didn't sense any change in Allen and that was when he wondered how long ago his memories returned. 'How could it be that no one sensed anything? When did he get so good in masking his emotions?'
"Don't make that face doc. I assure you I remembered everything today," Allen replied with a shrugged. He turned back and took a seat before him. "That wasn't a slip up. I wanted to give you a little hint." The calm look in his eyes darkened to something more sinister, something that Komui was used to seeing on Allen. "So even you can't tell huh? Perfect."
Komui interlocked his fingers before him. "Tell me Allen-kun. The wounds on Kuu, you did it didn't you?"
Allen shrugged. "The wounds they gave her were healing faster than expected," he replied with a dark smirk. "I had to do something about it or else my plans wouldn't go well."
Just hearing that from him made Komui want to throw up. How could he do that to the poor child? Even if she had regenerative abilities it was still cruel. But it was Allen; he didn't care about anything or anyone. Or so he had originally thought, but Allen had genuinely loved Kanda.
"She could have died," he stately clearly.
"But she didn't," Allen replied, smiling. "My daughter isn't so weak."
At what Allen said Komui could see the madness in his eyes. It was well hidden beneath the guise of innocence so it wasn't noticeable. But even then, the purity covered everything, making it impossible to spot his insanity. He lowered his head sadly.
"Have you no regards for human life?" Komui asked softly. He sincerely thought Allen would change for the better. That his memory loss was a godsend but now it just lead up to something even worse.
Allen grinned and it was a frightening sight. "I do," he replied. "I understand perfectly the value of human life. My amnesiac self thought me that. Well that personality is still with me." He crossed his hands at his chest, and his eyes glazed over. "I cringe at the sight of death but at the same time it only excites me more. This feeling of having good and evil inside me is thrilling. I've never felt anything like it before."
Komui shook his head sadly at Allen said. Allen knew killing was wrong but he would still do it. It was like having an angel and a demon inside the same body. A crazed murderer was one thing, but someone who actually knows that what they're doing is wrong and still continue to do it is even worse.
"I see nothing will ever change you for the better, Allen-kun," there was a sad look in Komui's emerald eyes.
The creepy smile on Allen's face widened. "Well I wonder."
"So, does this mean you're going back to your old position?" Komui adjusted his glasses.
"No," Allen replied with a shrug. "The time is not right as yet. I'll play the role of a clueless amnesiac patient a little while longer. Besides I still have a couple of things I want to have done behind the scenes."
Komui was confused. "But why? You've regained your memories. Why would you-"
"I have a plan," Allen replied interrupting him. "And for it to work I need to be out of the picture. But I can't just do it on my own, which is why I came to you Komui." His grin widened. "I'll need your help."
"And what if I don't help you?"
"Then I'll kill your precious Lenalee," the smile that crossed Allen's face was gruesome. "I have no qualms killing her along with destroying your Family doc. So if you don't want to suffer too greatly I suggest you listen to me." He placed his index finger under his chin as if he was thinking up something else. "Oh that also applies if you tell my darling Kanda that my memories have returned. No one is to know, not Kanda or my own Family."
Komui tensed when Allen mentioned his sister. He knew Allen would follow through with his threat. But Allen was just one guy, what harm could he do alone? He shook his head to rid any of those thoughts. Allen was dangerous, even if he was alone.
"You've become even more heartless I see," he used his index finger to push up his glasses. "I guess you leave me no choice but to follow you."
Allen closed his eyes and smiled sweetly. The look wasn't fake as his previous smiles had been. It was completely genuine and it left no doubt that it was indeed real. The murderous aura that surrounded him seemed to have completely disappeared. It was like the Allen who threatened him before didn't exist. The expression was all an act but it felt too real.
"Perfect, this will make slaughtering those fuckers that much easier," the words he said contrasted greatly with the bright smile he had on.

"Yuu are you serious?" Alma stared at Kanda with wide eyes. He couldn't believe what his cousin just told him. Was it even possible to have the DNA extracted from their bodies? "Could Komui really have it removed?"
Kanda got up from the bed he was on and walked over to where Alma was. "He said the experiment is in its trail state but…I'm not sure if we should do it. Even if it's Komui, going through another experiment…it will bring up the past."
Alma reached out and touched Kanda's hand. "I know what you mean. After that I was completely terrified of any medical examinations and going to the doctor freaked me out. I can't stand to be in an examination room without remembering what we went through."
"So you're saying we shouldn't right?" Kanda asked looking up. His eyes softened when he looked at Alma directly in his eyes. "But I want to have you cured…even though you don't blame me I still feel that it's my fault everything happened." Alma made a move to say something but he stopped him with a squeeze of his hand. "No matter what you say I'll still feel responsible."
"Yuu, it was my father who did everything, so you shouldn't feel responsible," Alma replied sadly. He knew the guilt his cousin carried from that time was a heavy burden and he tried almost everything to get him to let go but nothing worked. "It's more because of me that it happened. So please don't blame yourself Yuu. Please…" He wrapped his arms around Kanda, pulling him close.
Kanda allowed himself to be pulled into the hug. He rested his head on Alma's shoulder, relishing in the warmth that surrounded him. It felt calming.
"Yuu…" Alma tilted Kanda's chin up so that he could place a kiss on his lips but just as he was about to Kanda turned his head at the last minute. "Yuu?"
"I'm sorry," Kanda said with a soft sigh. "Let's not do this now…"
Alma felt hurt that Kanda denied him a kiss. Kanda had never done so before and he could only think of one reason why he would now. He pulled back and looked down at Kanda, who still refused to look at him.
"Why can't it be me?" he asked softly. "You know how much I love you."
"Stop it Alma," Kanda said, not looking at him. "I know your feelings already so just stop."
"No you don't!" Alma yelled, closing his eyes tight. He could bear looking at Kanda anymore. His heart was aching… "You've only been concern about that Walker! I don't see why you love him so much after all the horrible things he's done to you! Are you some sort of a masochist? Cause if you want it rough I can sure as hell fuck you rough!"
Kanda raised his head to glare at Alma. "You're crossing the line Alma. Just calm down, you're not making any sense."
Alma gritted his teeth. "I am calm! It's just I don't get what you seen in that psycho nut job. I'm a better person for you. So why won't you choose me? Why won't you love me with all your heart? Why does it have to be him? Why?"
"I don't know," Kanda replied. He lowered his head with a sigh. "I'm sorry."
That wasn't what Alma wanted to hear. He opened his eyes and turned away. "I don't need an apology."
"Alma wait!"
Without even so much of a backwards glance, Alma left, leaving Kanda feeling as if he's just stabbed out his cousin's heart with a dull chipped tooth blade.
Kanda sighed and walked over to the bed and fell down on it face forward. He always hated the fact that he hurt his cousin and that it was all because of Allen. He loved Alma yes, but not as much as he loved Allen. It still confused him, the extent of his feelings for that sadistic bastard who knew nothing but to rip his heart and his body apart.
"I want to hate you for making me hurt Alma…but I can't," he punched the pillow over and over in an attempt to vent his frustration and anger. "Why can't I hate you?" He gave the pillow a hard punch that had all the stuffing's falling out. "Damn it all…"
#$!% * #$! * #$! * #$! * #$!
Alma sat on the roof looking up at the stars. The bright ethereal lights laminated the area around him, giving it a calm and surreal appearance. He couldn't help the sigh that passed his lips when he recalled the argument he just had with Kanda. Granted, it was his fault for getting angry and acting like a spoilt child. But he couldn't help it. He loved Kanda more than anything and wanted him for himself. He wanted Kanda to love him more than he did that Walker bastard, but that would never happen.
"Why can't you love me?" he asked out loud.
"Eh I don't think I'd want to," a voice replied.
Instantly Alma was on alert. Was he really that out of it that he didn't sense anyone approach? He quickly got up and turned to the sound of the voice, snarling when he saw who it was.
"When you snarl like that you resemble a mutt," Allen replied with a cheeky smile. "So, what's a kid like you doing out here at this time of night hmm?"
"None of your fucking business," Alma growled. He couldn't stand the guy. Not one fucking bit. It was different when they were children, when he had helped them. But now he despised the guy and he knew why. He hated him for what he did to Kanda. Even if he had liked him before as an older brother figure, all that had gotten shot to hell. Nothing would make him accept that asshole before him, absolutely nothing.
"For a little brat your mouth is pretty dirty," Allen replied with a shake of his head. "I was just asking a simple question, no need to bite my head off." He shrugged and walked closer to where Alma was crouched. "I wonder though, why you hate me so much." He suddenly gave a chuckle and shook his head. "Who am I kidding? I don't like you that much either. My lover is sleeping with you instead of me. So I guess that warrants my hate."
Alma would have smirked when Allen said that but after that time at the hotel, he hadn't slept with Kanda since. It's not like he had a heap of opportunities present for them to fuck. There were certain criteria that must be met first. They only did it when they were away from the mansion and when Kanda killed, which wasn't that often. As Kanda only intervened in a hit when the target threatened Allen's safely.
"So you can see why I hate you huh?" he replied instead. "I may have his body but you will always have his heart."
Allen smiled mockingly. "I wonder which is more important."
Alma got up. The guy was pissing him off. He walked passed Allen without looking at him and Allen's smile darkened when he did.
"You're acting like a brat," Allen replied with a smirk. He reached into his coat and pulled out something. The blade of the knife glinted in the light of the moon. His voice seemed to darken but Alma didn't notice. "You aren't fit to be by Kanda's side."
"And you think you are?" was Alma's snide comeback. He didn't spare Allen another glance as he headed towards the exit. "You are a hundred times not fit to be by Yuu's side."
Alma disappeared out the door and Allen's smirk widened until he broke out into a crazed grin. He had a perfect opportunity to kill Alma but it was too early to get rid of him, besides he wanted to play with him a bit more. It would ruin the fun if killing him was easy. No, he wasn't going to make it easy. He would make Alma suffer, before he took his life.
"I'm not fit eh?" he chuckled into the night sky. "Rather than keeping an eye on my Kanda you should focus of your own safety mutt."
He returned the knife into his coat and pulled out the cellphone Komui provided for him. Right now there were only two numbers in the phone book. One was Komui's private line and the other he dialed. He placed the phone at his ears and listened to the ringing. After four rings the person on the other end picked up.
"Who the hell is this? I don't know this number."
"Is that how you answer the phone?" there was amusement in Allen's voice. "It's pretty rude ne?"
The person on the other line seemed to pause, not sure how to answer. His voice was a bit hesitant when he spoke once more. "Who is this?"
Allen chuckled and it was a sinister sound. "That's mean, did you forget me already?"
"Dark Clown."
"Bingo~" Allen grinned.
"So your memories have returned eh brat?" the person exhaled as if he was taking a drag out of his cigarette. "What do you want now?"
"Nothing much," Allen shrugged. He walked towards the railing looking down on the city below. It was beautiful at night and he felt a sudden urge to disrupt that beauty. "Just a little something I want you to do. Don't think you have any choice in the matter." A dark smirk split across his face. "Listen closely ne, because I'm not going to repeat myself."
#$!% * #$! * #$! * #$! * #$!
Allen smiled to himself as he walked towards the room where Kuu slept. It was almost three in the morning and such could be seen as the halls were completely empty. He made his way into the room, closing the door behind him. Kuu was sleeping soundly in bed. There were various machines hooked up to her body and an oxygen mask over her face. She looked completely fine compared to how she was earlier that night.
"As expected of my daughter, you survived," he said in a low tone, running his hand over her forehead. "Was I too harsh with those cuts? I'm sorry for that, but you healing ability astound me. It's even faster than Kanda's and that mutt's." He brought his hand down to cup her cheek. "You did a wonderful job today, so daddy will praise you."
"…really?" the voice was hoarse but it was definitely Kuu's. Her pink eye opened to slits and she looked up at Allen's form with a small smile on her face. "I was helpful to daddy?"
"Yes you were," Allen replied, smiling. "And to reward you, we'll do anything you want."
Kuu smiled. "That would be nice…" he voice trailed out and her breath evened out. Soon she was fast asleep.
"My plan is forming out perfectly," Allen gave a wicked smile. "And after I receive those items it will finally be time to set everything in motion."
