Chapter 1

It was late at night. They were at an Inn. Cross was sitting in their room on a couch. He had many wine bottles before him. Allen sat on a chair.

„When is he going to show up?!" growled Cross annoyed. Neah said he would meet up with him here tonight! But that Bastard wasn´t here. Allen was confused. „Master Cross is in a bad mode…" thought Allen.

There was a knock on the door. Cross sprang up from his seat and went to the door. He tore the door open. „Why are you so late?! I waited 35 years, you asshole!" yelled Cross angry.

„Woah! Calm down Marian. Do you think coming back from the dead is easy?" demanded a man with grey skin and golden eyes. He had crosses on his forehead. And short spiky dark brown hair with a little red in it.

Cross stormed back to his seat on the couch. He threw himself on the couch. „Wow I feel so loved!" claimed the Man. He walked into the room. He blinked when he saw Allen. „I-Is that who I think it is?" asked the man stunned. Cross looked up. He looked at Allen and nodded.

„A-Allen?" screamed the man. He fainted. Cross smirked amused. „Master Cross, who´s that? And how did he know my name?" asked Allen wary and curious. Cross opened a new wine bottle and poured himself a glass. „That Idiot on the floor is an old friend and your uncle. His name is Neah D. Campbell. The brother of Mana Walker." Explained Cross lazy while he drunk his wine.

Allen´s jaw dropped. „That´s Mana´s little brother?!" screamed Allen. He was shocked. His dear foster father was always searching for this man? Did that man know this at all? „Don´t be so loud, Idiot!" roared Cross. He leaned back.

„Ow,…." Moaned Neah in pain. He sat up and held his head. „Where?" muttered Neah in confusion. „A-Are you really Mana´s brother?" asked Allen serious. Neah looked up. When he saw Allen his eyes soften. „So he doesn´t remember…." Thought Neah sadly.

„Yes, I am his brother." Answered Neah truefully. Allen stood up and went to Neah. „Does that mean that you are my uncle?" inquires Allen hopefully. He hoped that Mana´s brother wouldn´t hate him. He would be his last family member.

Neah felt himself melt. He gave a big grin and ruffled Allen´s hair. „Of course!" replied Neah cheerfully. Allen smiled back. Cross snorted.

„Now, that all is clarified, do you want to explain a few things Neah?" hissed Cross. He shot him a death glare. Neah stood up lifted Allen in his arms and sat down next to Cross. He sat Allen in his lap. Allen blushed. „Okay, Marian. I am going to explain some things now. But nobody can interrupt me." Declared Neah with a serious gaze.

Cross nodded and rolled his eyes. Neah began explaining about the Noah´s, how he came back to life due to his Noah memories, how he woke up a few hours ago. Allen who was listining was stunned. Cross nodded with a scowl when Neah finished.

„Now what are you gonna do?" inquires Cross with a raised eyebrow. Neah was thinking about something. Then he shook his head. „I will be hiding from the Noah´s in my Ark and I am going to take care of Allen whenever I can." Said Neah confident. Cross looked surprised. „Are you sure that you can hide from them?" asked Cross.

„I killed all of them with the exception of Road and the Earl. What do you think is going to happen when they find me? The Earl loved me too much, he isn´t going to kill me on sight. No matter how much better that would be than his hugs." Neah shivered.

„Why don´t you make a bond with the brat when you want to protect him so much? Then you could hide better." Suggested Cross with a sigh. Neah perked up. „That´s a wonderful Idea Marian!" praised Neah with a grin.

„Hey, Allen what do you think?" asked Neah excited. Allen looked unsure. „What would that bond do?" asked Allen wary. „We could talk telepathic, you would heal faster and be a Noah. It wouldn´t be bad. It is like you will have some memories from 35 years ago and a bit earlier. I will explain when you get flashbacks. I could hide in your mind and you could control the Ark!" revealed Neah with a gentle smile.

Allen was still a bit unsure but nodded. „Okay." Answered Allen with a shy smile. „Great!" cheered Neah. He hugged Allen. „Just sleep. I will do it while you are sleeping." Whispered Neah softly. He began to sing a lullaby. Allen could feel his eyes drop. Neah gently rocked back and forth in his sleep.

„Wow, since when could you be so gentle?" whispered Cross with a smirk. „I saw what the Earl did to him. And I owe him. I will care for him now. He will remember. But I won´t let my dear friend from back then suffer." Whispered Neah back.

Cross nodded. Allen was a dear friend for both of them back then. „I am going to bed." Said Cross while he stood up. He walked into another room.

Neah softly kissed Allen´s forehead. „Good Dreams." Wished Neah. Timcampy brought him a scissor. Neah cut himself in the finger. He drew smal crosses on Allen´s forehead and opened his mouth. He let his blood drip in Allen´s mouth. Allen whimpered in pain in his sleep.

„So when he wakes up he will be a Noah." Thought Neah warmly. His Noah memories will be his memories from his life 35 years ago and from the begining. There was after all a Noah who wasn´t reincarnated since 7000 years.
