"SHINI!"Kari yelled shooting the zombie in every place possible killing it from blood loss she was breathing heavily and she took off her hoodie that got ruined in the acid blood and she looked at a photo that was in the pocket and it was ruined and she clenched it tight in her hand.

"Can zombies dye from blood loss?" She thought curiolsy, as she then landed next to all of them "So someone can tell me what happened?" She asked

"I kinda taboo'd the whole 'this is to easy thing' so we had to get rid of this bugger."Kari explained in a strained voice trying to keep her temper

Jillian nooded as she looked at whole mess, "This place is destroyed" She thought, she then looked at Kari noticing the tone of her voice "Anything else happened?" She asked

"It's nothing........"Kari said quietly

Allen was beyond pissed. So far, the priest was just laughing at him, telling him that only he, the priest, could ever hope to gain the spotlight in the eyes of the gods, living forever. This was making him infuriated. He squeezed a bit harder on the priest with his arm, holding him against the wall.

"A fool you are," he muttered, and suddenly, he felt himself, the White and Black, slip away and a different persona came into being. He could only watch as the other self laughed, wrapping his claws around the man tighter, draining any air from his lungs. He felt his forehead sting along the hairline, blood dripped down his face, and his skin a grayish color (though he didn't know this). He gave the priest one look, and all the laughter and power hungry looks left him, replacing with fear and horror.

"A-a N-n-noah!!" He screamed, and felt his ribs crack some, the pressure becoming stronger. A manianical grin crossed Allen's face, seeing the fear radiate from his very pores in his skin.

"Listen good and well," Allen stated, bringing the man away from the wall and towards his own body.

"I am the 14th of Noah's decendents, also known as The Musician," and with that, Allen squeezed a bit more, and the priest was crushed, his spinal column breaking in two and his broken ribs puncturing his heart and lungs.

Seithreoth saw this and smiled slightlly. ...I may be able to provoke that... he thought to himself as he flew down to Allen.

Allen threw the body of the dead priest, his face frozen in pain and horror, towards the side, and turned towards the others. He shook his head some, his now black locks whipping around his head, and returned his arm to normal. He continued to look at them, the silver haired man, something telling him that his name was Sephiroth, flying towards him. He blinked his eyes, obvious boredom evident in his now red eyes. He felt his Noah side give an amused smile from within at seeing the almost fearful expressions the two girls held upon their faces, the wolf growling at him with the intent to kill if provoked.

"My my, what a pleasent surprise that I am to meet you all here," he rumbled out, his voice deep from what his normal one would be, and bowed, a smirk playing at his mouth.

Seithrioth said nothing but smiled slightlly as he landed infrount of The Noah Allen.

Allen gave a charming smile, his exotic red eyes meeting the icy blue ones of Sephiroth.

"What is it that I have earned the right to have Sephiroth, the One-Winged Angel, be around my prescence?" he questioned, the smirk still in place upon his lips.

"You remind me....of JENOVA." Seitiroth said smirking back with an omnious aura meeting Allens.

"Jenova? I do not know who this person is," Noah Allen started, raking a hand through his dark locks revealing the line of cross' upon his hairline,

"But you remind me of one of my brothers, though I do not know his name at this moment in time," Allen stated, his smirk growing, turning into a devious smile. He slowly turned his head away, the grin still in place

"It seems my prescence is attracting the attention of the Earl," at this point, he dropped the smile and adopted a scowl, "I should leave, for if he finds me, you all will be in danger." With that, Allen's Noah side receeded into himself, and he turned back from his introverted self, white hair, pale skin, unmarked forehead (save for the pentacle), and silvery blue eyes. He collapsed to his knees, feeling thoroughly exhausted, and hungry at that.

"hmmm..intresting..." He said. he grabbed allen and carryed him on his shoulders. "Lets get going." He said as he turned to The other 2.

With his eyes only half open, he watched from upon Sephiroth's shoulder the other two follow, out the crumbling hospital, and he felt something wet fall into his hair. Rain. Soon it started to drizzle, and he could only stare with a glazed look in his eyes, as the world blurred around him, not noticing the yellow ball that was flapping its wings quickly in front of his face.

"...You're making me dizzy..." he said to the little golem, but it was loud enough for anyone else to mistake it for him talking to them. He felt the little ball snuggle into his mess of white hair and fell into darkness, his body and mind tired from everything that had just happened.

"Then don't look at the wing." Seithiroth said simplly as he reached the ground.

Allen didn't hear anything, but layed there upon his broad shoulder, his mind plauged with those dreams. Dreams of when he was young, before Mana, before Mana's death, before the curse, before General Cross. Those times when he was shunned, forgoten, and hurt.

"No... I think I'll just.... wait, please don't..... don't take it away from me..." he mumbled to himself, a tear falling from his eye, though hidden by the rain falling all around them.

Seithiroth heard this but pretended he didn't as he walked toward the car.

Allen's eyes shot open, finding himself sitting in the back seat of a car, the motion of the ride waking him some from his mind, but not the actual reason. He placed his left hand, the glove still off, upon his forehead and winced.

"What happened?" He questioned no one, his eyes closed from the pain.

"you...grew closer to the lifestream." Seithiroth said simplly.

Allen turned toward Sephiroth, his face contorted in great confusino.

"Closer to what?" He questioned, laying his head back against the seat, willing the headache (or migrane) to go away. He felt Tim nuzzle at his neck, letting him know that nothing was gonna happen.

"I will say no more." Seithiroth said with an invisable grin. "Check your arm. I noticed something odd on it." Seithiroth said. On it was a diease called Geostigma that he had created. Soon everyone in the caqr would contract it exculdeing seithiroth. That however didn't apper as anything seirous other then mirgains and views of an odd woman floating in a tank of liquid.

Allen looked upon both arms, and saw that they looked fine. He looked at Sephiroth, then at the glowing green cross that was embedded into the back of his left hand. He looked at it more closely, and saw that it only really glowed this bright when the Innocence found something it did not find safe. He blinked a few times, pulled the sleeves of his coat back down, and looked ahead on the road, the wipers working to keep the window clear.

"I didn't see anything out of the ordinary. Well, for me that is..." Allen stated, indicating about his deformed arm and the cross stuck in his hand.

Kari had her hands in her pockets with her hair hiding her eyes with Hiro at her heels looking at her worriedly.

Allen, sensing Kari's distress, turned towards her and tilted his head in confusion, wondering what was ailing her.

"What's wrong? If it's something I've done, gomen nasai.." He apologized to her. The Japanese language was stuck with him after listening many many times from Kanda, Lavi, and Bookman on the Japanese language, even though he was British.

"It's not your fault it's just when my hoodie got messed up from that acid blood something else that was in my pocket isn't of any use anymore."Kari said quickly blushing slightly since she was in her own world and she somewhat started her

Allen nodded in understanding.

"It was a picture, wasn't it?" He questioned, trying to get accurate info just incase he may be able to fix it. Tim decided that he was bored, and started to chase his own tail around Allen's head, the big fluff ball at the end of the thin tail making it easy to catch to some, but for Tim, it was hard.

"Tim, you're gonna get dizzy if you keep doing that," Allen stated, knowing full well the the golem wouldn't listen.

"H-Hai.I don't think it can be fixed though."Kari said she was British as well but she was in Japan too long and the words came randomly to her at times

Allen held a thoughtfull expression on his face, feeling Timcampy's tail wack him in the head a few times. After about the fifth time, Allen grabbed the end of the tail, and stopped the spinning golem.

"Hey Tim, I gotta a job that is right up your alley," Allen stated, bringing the dizzy golem upon his index finger where he can look at it face to face.

"Tim can do a lot of things here, and I bet Master was either drunk enough or smart enough to have Tim be able to fix photographs, no matter the damage," Allen stated, poking the now still golem with his other finger.

"Heta really?! Yay arigato Allen-kun and Tim-san."Kari said happily as she took out her photo that acid had burned through most of it.

Allen smiled and gently grasped the photo, and held it in front of Tim.

"Can you fix this Tim?" Allen asked. The golem gave him an indigent look (though he had no eyes) and swallowed the thing whole. Allen let go of Timcampy's tail, letting him go just incase he decided that biting his nose was more fun then fixing a photo. For a moment, Tim hovered there, his wings flapping quietly. The golem gave a couple of coughing sounds as it bounced around a bit, then spit the photo back up, looking like it was just took. He dared not to look into the picture, but could tell that it was fixed, and completely new.

"Thanks Tim," Allen said, and felt Tim chew on a white lock of his hair. He handed the picture back to Kari.

"Note to self when going on missions likes this leave the dang thing somewhere else."Kari said sweat dropping as she looked at the picture that was with her looking unusually serious,probably back when she was the black cat and a bouncy looking girl in a kimono taking the picture with them her making a funny face.

"I agree with you, though I'd rather have Tim around me just incase," Allen stated, looking at the golem that was finding his hair quite tasty.

"Timcampy! Stop that!" He yelped, feeling his hair being tugged on, "I swear, you eat more then I and I have to have about ten meals just to survive!" He continued, thoroughly annoyed at the predicament he was in. Tim never let go unless he wanted to, or was assinged something to do.

Kari laughed and expertly caught Timcampy by his wing and she was looking at it curiously "He's an interesting little fellow." she said studying him

Allen chuckled some, rubbing the spot where Tim had latched onto that strand of hair.

"My master, General Cross, created him. He's smart, my master and Timcampy, but I wondered how Master acutally thought of the idea. Probably when he was drunk," Allen said, a look of horror in his eyes at the thought of a drunk Cross who was deep in debt, which brought shivers to his own spine.

"Neh I heard about him,something about him always being drunk and having a ton of debts to people including whom I worked for."Kari said sweat dropping as she remembered that she actually had to go get the money from him at one point in time.

Allen chuckled, and pulled out a deck of playing cards from his coat.

"I had to pay those debts off, and the only way was with gambling," Allen stated, giving a stupid/innocent grin at Kari.

"Master found that my nack for cards was incredible, and had someone teach me, though got in debt with him as well, and as of three years ago," he paused, and felt a smirk alight his face, "I haven't lost a game of Poker."

"Want to play?Just for fun."Kari said/asked she may not seem like it but she used to play poker herself in between missions as a black cat and never lost.

Allen felt himself smile sweetly, but deep inside, he chuckled evily.

"Sure, why not? After all, no betting in this game," He stated, undid the rubberband that held the cards together and shuffled them with expert ease. He dealt her six cards, and and himself six cards, and set the pack in the middle of the two of them in the car.

"Lady's first," he offered, another sweet smile upon his face.

Kari grinned innocently/evilly she had cards up her sleeve as she always did so with a sleight of hand she put down a royal straight flush "How's that?" she asked grinning mischievously

Allen smiled again and revealed the same thing, his own cards hidden in his sleeve.

"A tie it seems," he stated, that sugary smile never leaving his face.

"I had a feeling it'd be a tie."Kari said with a laugh,she felt more at ease when it came to talking with Allen,probably because unlike Seitheroth he wasn't threatening to break Hiro's neck.

"Another round?" He asked, taking cards, shuffling them, after slipping his cards into his sleeve again, and then delt them again. He looked at his hand, he had a King of Clubs, Ace of Clubs, a Ten of Clubs, a Three of Hearts, and a Five of Spades. He got rid of his two cards, the three and five, and took two, having put two on top from his sleeve. He saw that indeed, he held a Queen of Clubs and a Jack of Clubs.

"Call," he said, and presented his Royal Straight Flush to her.

When Kari put down she had the exact same except it was diamonds and spades "I'm getting a feeling it's going to be a tie either way." she said with a giggle attractive laugh,she did NOT ever giggle.

Allen chuckled as well, hearing the 'attractive laugh' that she made.

"Well, since we're both evenly matched, I think it would be very boring, would it not?" Allen asked, taking the cards back and (putting his own cards back in his sleeve) shuffled them once again.

"Fairly boring."Kari agreed putting her own cards that were up her sleeve in the pile she had shuffled them and started putting them out and she explained "I haven't gotten a chance to play solitaire in awhile."

Allen chuckled as he continued to shuffle the deck in his hands, given to him by someone whom he had a fun game of Strip Poker with (though he didn't lose).

"Yes, Solitare is an interesting came," Allen stated, dealing out the cards where they were supposed to be, and flipped three cards from the deck that was left over.

"And I'm just as good at it as I am with poker."Kari mused and added with a grin "Especially since it's a game that takes wit and planning.It's like chess without the big board."

"Too true there, Miss... I'm sorry," Allen apologized in english, rubbing the back of his head, "I never got your name. I'm Allen Walker." He stuck out his right hand, knowing that his left one might make her reluctant for her to accept him.

Kari laughed lightly as she shook his hand saying "Kari,Kari Neko,nice to meet you Allen-kun." Hiro barked as he was sitting next to her and she sweat dropped and said "Oh yeah this is Hiro-kun."

Allen chuckled some at the wolf he now knew as Hiro. He brought his hand forward for the wolf to get his scent. Suddenly, he screamed in pain at the feeling of those sharp teeth of Tim's bitting into his ear, causing it to bleed.

"Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Okay, okay! What is it Tim!?" He shouted, the pain incredible. The golem let go and faced him, and have a small chirp, though it sounded extremely jealous. Allen sighed, and knew what he wanted.

"Okay, you want info, on what?" He questioned, the game of Solitare he was playing forgotten. Tim turned towards Kari and continued to look at her.

"About Kari?" He questioned the little snitch-look-alike. Tim bobbed up and down in a yes manner. Allen heaved a sigh and gave Kari an apologetic look.

"Once he learns the name of someone, he wants, no, has to know at least something about that person, and different almost each time," he explained to her, nervous at her reaction.
