After stopping the blood gushing from his nose, Allen ran to where Kanda and been smacked into the wall. Allen didn't even know what hit Kanda. After climbing over piles of rubble he saw a strange sight. Kanda was sitting on the floor mostly unharmed watching a child who was standing in front of Allen staring up at him.
Looking at the boys face, Allen decided that he was older than ten, but other than that he had no idea how old he was. He was short. The top of his head barely reaching Allen's eye level. His hair was long and tangled and when his eyes caught the light from outside they turned to gold.
"Yo shortstack, go find my bag." Kanda.
"Why?" Allen asked. The boy pushed past him and started to climb out of the old castle. Kanda got up and followed him out.
"Never mind, I'll find it myself." Allen followed Kanda.
When he made it back out he saw Kanda rummaging through his bag pulling out a shirt, socks, boots and a spare jacket. Allen realized why. The boy was barefoot and wearing nothing but a short tunic.
"Hey kid come here." The boy looked back at Kanda. His lips were turning blue, and he was shaking.But he was smiling.
"Where?" He asked, pointing at a tree as he walked to Kanda.
Kanda sat him down on the bench next to Jonney and helped the boy put on Kanda's shirt. Kanda then wrapped his jacket around the kid and put his socks and boots on the boy. He then added the final by wrapping a thick black scarf around the boy's head.
"Where?" He stood up. The jacket and shirt reached his knees and the socks reached the hem of the shirt. The boots were huge but the boy's lips and turned back to pink. The boy quickly lost interest in the tree and turned to a frozen flower. "Where?"
"Hey kid, what is your name?" Allen slowly approach him. He pointed at himself. "I am Allen."
"Allen." He repeated.
"Yeah what's your name?"
"Name." The boy thought deeply. "Seven."
"Seven?"
"It what them called me. Allen."
" That is Jonney."
"Jonney."
"Yeah and that is Kanda."
"Kada, canada, knanda?"
"Hey kid just call me Yuu."
"Yuu."
Allen and Jonney stared at Kanda. He hated his first name.
Kanda glanced at them. "CH."He walked over to the kid. "Can I call you something else?"
The boy nodded staring up at Kanda with wide adoring eyes.
"How about Rin?"
"Rin." Kanda took this as a yes. He reached out his hand and took the child's smaller hand and started walking away. "Your really pretty."
"Thanks." He looked back at Allen and Jonney. "Are you coming."
"What?"
"We found the innocence and the rainbow went away. We got what we came for so let's go find food."
"What the hell?" The white haired exorcist and scientist followed behind staring in shock as Kanda pointed out trees and hills to the little boy walking next to him.
