Presenting my new fanfic. This will be a short one compared to the ones I'm also writing.

This is a pre-dgm. I don't know the age gap between allen and kanda so I just assumed here that it was 2 years.

Disclaimer: I don't own dgm or any of its characters because if I do, then allen would still have his left arm while holding his sword. xD

Enjoy reading!

A LONG LOST MEMORY

Chapter 1: Companion

A three-year-old boy, with short brown hair and has a deformed red hand was shoved by two policemen in an orphanage. The boy was found in an alleyway unconscious and was almost beaten up to death. The authority decided to place the child under the care of the nuns which supervised an orphanage.

"Oh, poor boy. What happened to him?" one of the nun in the office runs and hugs the boy. The boy was wearing a shirt that was too big for him and it was covered by blood. He also has pants with an end that touches the floor. The boy has several wounds and bruises all over his body. Some of it were already tended to but most are left undone by a nurse in the police department.

After the policemen explained the situation of the child to the mother superior, they reached in an agreement that the nuns will take care of the child.

"Oh, by the way, the boy's name is Allen," one of the policemen said before leaving the office of the mother superior.

After examining the child, the mother superior ordered to one of the nuns to tend to chibi-Allen's wounds. The nun obeyed and led the boy to the clinic of their institute.

"You don't have to be afraid. We will take good care of you here," the nun said after noticing that chibi-allen is shaking as she approach him. "Hmm… I think you need a bath. It's not enough to just clean your wounds when the rest of your body is dirty. Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you my name. I'm Maria. Nice to meet you, Allen-chan" the nun gave chibi-allen one of her sweetest smile but still the child looked scared. He's so cute. Wonder what will he looks like if he smiles?

After some time of bathing and cleaning the wounds of chibi-Allen, the whole staff and orphans in the orphanage were gathered in the main hall.

"Everyone, I would like you to welcome a new member of our family." The mother superior patted Allen's head and smiled at the staff and children at the hall. "His name is Allen-chan. Be good to him, okay?"

"Yes, mother superior," the children said together and focused their attention to the boy. "Welcome, Allen-chan."

Chibi-Allen stared at the faces looking at him. He was obviously the youngest one. Most of them look around 6-7 years old and some looks like 4-5 years old. But the one that really catches his attention was a boy that is standing at the end of the line and is staring at the window. He was the only one who is not looking at him and smiling. The boy seems bored and does not care what happens at his surroundings.

"Okay, children. You can now go back to the playground and have some fun. Be sure to play with Allen-chan okay?" the mother superior said and the children started running outside. The staff then returned to their designated work.

"Allen-chan, you should go play with them," Maria said as she gently pushed the boy towards the door. Chibi-Allen looked at her and then started walking towards the playground, hoping that the other kids will like him.

"Maria, don't leave your attention to that child. Be sure to protect him always at all cost." Maria looked at the mother superior with a confused look. "That child, Allen, he has an innocence in him. It's lucky that he hasn't turned into a fallen one after all that he had gone through."

Chibi-Allen walked slowly to the children playing at the playground. One of the kids approached him and was about to lead him to the others when he accidentally saw chibi-Allen's left arm that is hidden under a longsleeve shirt.

"Waah! Help! A monster! The monster of this town has infiltrated the orphanage!" the boy cried and immediately the rest of the children went to help him.

"What happened?" asked by one of the kids.

"He's… He's the monster the man delivering milk is talking about!" the child then pointed at chibi-Allen, who is now looking terrified. "His left arm is not that of a human. He will bring bad luck to all of us!"

All the children in the playground slowly approached chibi-allen. Chibi-allen, who is now terrified run towards the building of the orphanage but was blocked by the children. He then decided to run at the back of the building. The scenery there fascinated him. He would lay under the big tree together with those lovely flowers if not for the situation he is in right at the moment.

"There he is!" one of the children shouted, making chibi-Allen snapped out of his daydreaming. He then noticed the boy he saw earlier at the main hall, leaning on the tree. The boy is taller and older than him. He has a long shiny black hair and soft flawless skin. He then decided to run at him and take refuge.

"Oi, Kanda! What do you think you're doing?" the tallest of the children asked. Chibi-Kanda looked down at the terrified child that is clinging on his arm. His quiet and nice afternoon rest is now messed up because of these idiots.

"What do you want, Red? Get lost!" Chibi-Kanda gave the kid one of his deadliest glare. The other children hurriedly run away seeing that Kanda is pissed and was soon followed by the remaining kids.

Kanda Yuu is not the oldest orphan in the orphanage but his proud and snob attitude gained him the reputation of someone that is impossible to approach.

Chibi-Kanda also gave chibi-Allen his death glare but the kid just stared at him with a confused look on his face. Then suddenly, chibi-Allen cried without letting go of chibi-Kanda's arm. Chibi-Kanda ignored the kid and once again leaned at the tree and closes his eyes.

After some time, chibi-Allen finally stopped crying and chibi-Kanda decided that his it's time for the kid to leave him alone.

"Now that you've stopped crying, you can now go back inside." But the boy tighten his grip at him and looks like that he's not planning to let go.

Chibi-Kanda sighed. "What's your name?" He's obviously not listening earlier when the mother superior introduced chibi-Allen to them.

Chibi-Allen opened his mouth but no words came out. He tried to repeat saying his name again but only failed yet again.

Seeing that the kid can't talk, chibi-Kanda decided. "Che. Whatever. Let's go, moyashi."

Well, how was it? Hope you enjoyed it.

Sorry for the chibi word. I just wanted to emphasize that kanda and allen here are both chibi! xD
