Though I like genderbend stories a lot please don't hate me. I will work on "Family" soon. I still don't know how to continue "The Clown and the Alchemist" I still have those uneasy feelings. My motivation on doing some of my manga projects are dying though and I needed some motivation. *cries*

So anyways!

This story is where Allen met Tyki for the first time. *cough* in the train *cough*

Hope you will like the story ;v;)

I need a little help though, How can you get rid of an old man *cough*Apocryohos*cough* in your head? He has been nesting in my brain for quiet sometime and it really REALLY gives me shivers. I do really like his character but nesting in my brain is really not in my plan.

The Hobo, the Nobleman, his Exorcist

Chapter 1: Meeting her

Tyki Mikk, the Noah of Pleasure, the third child of Noah was doing his usual routine in his white form. Yes, he was in his White Form, Tyki the Miner. He was with his human friends playing Poker to those unfortunate souls who come and wonder the train car on their section being a vagabond after all, rubbing those poor souls of their hard earn cash. Their first victim was a person that looked like a vampire and it seemed that he had Innocence on him. He could feel the innocence he possessed and judging the way his dressed, he was not an official exorcist just yet. Maybe a new recruit? It doesn't matter, he was on his white form anyway and there was no mission yet for him to exterminate some exorcists. It was easy to trick the vampire exorcist though who had wondered on their section to play Poker with them and judging from his face he seemed to be clueless on how to play the game. He smirked. This was easy money indeed. After a few more rounds of Poker, he and his friends have successfully stripped the vampire exorcist of his belongings except for the boxer of course. They could sell his belongings later once they have arrived in their destination. Their easy money will last them for a month and that's good news for them.

The door opened revealing two more exorcists to victimize. Just his luck, more easy money. Shuffling his cards he didn't bothered to look up because he could feel the Innocence's hum but he did listen to their little conversation. Then he heard one of the exorcists wanted to play with them. He silently chuckled. He heard the exorcist offer his Exorcist jacket as a bet for the vampire's clothes. He knew that the exorcist's buttons were made of complete silver, they have hit a jackpot. He looked up and saw the white haired exorcist holding his uniform to them. But looking closely, the exorcist seemed to look like a boy but he wasn't that easily tricked and fooled. The white haired exorcist had a lot of "feminine" features on her. She was just good at hiding her real gender or maybe her fellow exorcists were just dumb. He couldn't hold himself; she was beautiful he admitted, those silver eyes were full of life, her pink lips… oh he wanted to taste those lips. Her hair though was a little short, if only she could grow her hair a little longer. He could only imagine and hold himself. There was a whisper… something on the back of his head was whispering to him and yet he couldn't hear it. His hands were itching to touch her to reach for her but he had to shove that thought at the back of his head. He needed to stay calm.

"This place isn't for children" he said looking at the white hair beauty in front of him. He needed to warn the exorcist. He was a gentleman afterall. If this will continue, she might have stripped in front of them, which was not a bad idea for him but in front of five men inside the train car? He doesn't think so.

The white hair beauty smiled and Tyki could clearly see the amusement on that smile of hers. She was challenging him. "What? Afraid that I'm going to beat you?" She said with a smile.

"Alright" he smirked. He just accepted the challenge. The game was going on smoothly, he doesn't need to cheat on this little game. He will win this and at least just one game that he will see more of that white cream skin. Just one game! Just to remove the red ribbon around her neck. He grinned as he looked at his hand, he had a good hand afterall, A Four of a kind. It seemed that luck was on his side.

"Call" the white hair beauty said and presented her cards. Tyki couldn't help but swallow the air on his throat and stare at the cards.

"Royal… Straight… Flush?"

They lose… Maybe it was just luck or luck wasn't on his side in the first place. He slowly unbuttoned his shirt and carefully looked at her for her not to notice. She was blushing as she looked at him. He smirked. Once he fully removed his shirt and placed it on her winnings he looked up again and she was still looking at him, a tint of pink blush on her face. He was chucking at the back of his mind. Once his and her eyes meet, she quickly hid her face under the cards that she was holding. He couldn't help but smirked at her poor attempts to hide her blushing face. A few more rounds of poker and they continued to lose. He could only twitch his eyebrows in irritation. This girl was cheating, he knew it but he couldn't see on how she cheated at the first place. This girl is a pro, not to be messed with in Poker. They were stripped till they were on their boxers and damn, he couldn't help but be amazed at the girl poker skills. Now there was no chance of him winning and see more of that white cream skin. If only he could use his powers to just win the game and turn the table around.

The train whistle was heard which means their stop was already fast approaching. They have ended their friendly game and he and his friends were on their boxers. The weather was cold and he sighed, guessed that they will have to face the cold then.

Outside, he and his friends sneeze from the cold around them. Eeze could only give them a little pat of encouragement to continue to move on from their humiliating defeat. He then looked at the train to see the white hair beauty peeking through the windows with their things on her hands she was looking for someone it seems. His eyes meet hers once again and stopped on her tracks. He could see the tint of pink blush on her cheeks. She lean in the window and offered them their things back. She smiled at them, not those fake ones when they were playing Poker. This smile was a true smile.

"Here" she said as she lends them their things. "Since I got my friend's clothes back you can have yours" she said. His friends quickly grabbed their things and thanked the young lady. He approached her and when their eyes meet, fire was boiling on his blood, his hands were itching and twitching to touch her. He touched her hands as he grabbed his things. His blood sing, the fire rushed through him like raging water. He had to control himself. Looking again to the white haired beauty it seemed that she felt it too. He could clearly see the almost dark pink on her cheeks and her hands twitched from his touch.

As he grabbed his things, she let go immediately and he could only chuckle at the back of his mind. A tint of pink blush was on her face again. Oh he wanted to touch her again, the fire that he felt when they made contact was addicting. He felt so much alive.

"I would like to play with you again, boy" he said and smiled as he looked at her. He needed to pretend that he didn't know her secret. She smiled back at him and nodded. They heard another whistle and that's the sign that the train will depart soon.

He smirked as he got closer to her to give her his deck of cards as a momento to remember him by. She looked at him and his hands. She was looking at it like she was afraid to touch his hands. Slowly she reached and took the cards on his hand. He could feel it again, the fire on his blood as if it was burning him alive. He wanted more of that fire. A voice whispering to him again, he couldn't hear what the voice was telling him. He quickly shove it all back at the back of his mind.

The white haired beauty smiled at him and quickly withdrew her hands.

"I'm expecting a rematch, boy, hope you will visit us sometimes" he said and chuckled.

"Allen!" her red hair companioned shouted. The train was departing, she was waving at him goodbye. He never looked away as he looked at the train as it slowly disappears from him sight.

He had hoped that they will meet again soon.

He looked at his hands and on it was the red ribbon that he secretly took from her.

Yes very soon…

Allen's POV

Her heart was beating loud on her chest as she looked at the deck of cards that he gave her.

"I'm expecting a rematch, boy, hope you will visit us sometimes"

If only Allen could visit and play with them again. If only she could see that man again. The memory of his touch was still burning on her mind and she shudder at the feeling of his touch. She put her left hand on her heart and noticed something was out of place. She looked down and noticed that her ribbon had gone missing.

Wait, what?!

She did remember that she wore her ribbon before she had aboard the train. She did! Now she looked around for it. Maybe it was just around the corner. She felt out of place without it. She put the deck on her breast pocket and quickly looked for her missing ribbon.

Lavi was on her side and tilt his head. "Something wrong Allen?" he asked her. She looked at him and nervously laughed. "Oh nothing, nothing's wrong, Lavi" Again Lavi tilt his head then he blinked.

"Where's your ribbon?"
