Before I continue with this story, I want to say that a big inspiration for this story is Evening Dawn's "Only Human." It's a fantastic fic still in progress, another Allen x Rhode fic, spectacular writing and story, and better than Blood. Go read it now. Read this after you read Only Human. Go. Seriously.....GO!

Blood Chapter 4
------------------------------------
It had been three days since Rhode appeared before Allen. She hadn't been entirely sure whether or not to visit Allen again. Whenever she thought about it, she remembered his two simple words, "I don't," and immediately reconsidered. Not to mention, she wasn't exactly pleased at being called a "whateverthehellyouare." He knew damn well what she was.
But maybe that wasn't it. Maybe it was because she was worried. She had to admit, she felt a little twang of concern when Allen said he was under investigation. Okay, maybe it was more than a twang. Maybe she was scared for him. Maybe she wanted to get him out of that stupid place, away from all of the exorcists, the accusing figures, away from the lowly humans, away from everything. Somewhere made just for them.
Upon realizing what she was just thinking, Rhode quickly gave herself a slap in the face. She can't think things like that. It wasn't her. It was nothing like her in the least.
"Allen..." Rhode thought out loud, "What have you done to me? What have you made me become?"
Rhode sighed, pulled out a piece of candy, and chewed on it absently, "Maybe I should kill him."
*****************************************
Allen was not happy. Being investigated was bad enough. Having Howard Link board with him wasn't helping. And the mere presence of Rouvelier seemed to make him upset. But now he wasn't even able to contact his master. Everything just seemed to be going from bad to worse for him.
Rouvelier. That was a big issue. The inspector who arrived and accused Allen of heresy right off the bat. Perhaps it was his toothbrush moustache, maybe it was the sinister look he always seemed to wear, maybe it was the fact that Lenalee seemed to cringe whenever she laid eyes on him. Whatever it was, Rouvelier was a fairly large disturbance in Allen's mind.
And right now that man was staring him directly in the eye.
It was nighttime and Allen was about to retire for the night. It was just a simple passing in the hallway. But the moment they made eye contact, both simply stopped. It was only a glance that became something of a staring contest. Allen staring in defiance, Rouvelier staring as though Allen were an obstacle. An inconvenience. A disruption in his Order.
Allen, however, did not see Rouvelier as the enemy. Simply as someone who didn't quite get the picture. Not stupid, per se, but not exactly the brightest either. Stubborn but dedicated. Definitely misguided. But despite his lack of hatred for the man, Allen still did not feel he was the best person in the world.
Much to Allen's relief, Rouvelier ended up breaking his stare and moving straight along down the hallway. Allen sighed and continued on his way to his room. It was late and he needed to sleep. He knew Link would already be there, much to his dismay.
Allen had enjoyed his privacy when he still had some semblance of it. Now it was limited to changing and using the bathroom. Everything else, he was pretty much shit out of luck. Link followed him while he ate, did paperwork, slept, talked with friends, and damn near everything else. It's not that Link was a bad person but Allen had tired of this whole thing very quickly.
Allen returned to his room and, as expected, found Link sleeping on a futon on his floor. Allen sighed again before removing his shirt and simply allowing himself to drop face-first onto his bed. He didn't even bother getting under the covers, he just fell right down and closed his eyes.
Unfortunately, sleep would not come. Allen was lying there for a good half hour before he sat up and sighed in annoyance. Three days. Three days had passed and he still couldn't get the incident out of his head. But who could blame him? He had watched Rhode die and fade away but not one week later, he came home to find her making herself comfortable in his room. Not to mention her actions. And what she left behind.
Allen was thankful that Link hadn't noticed it, nor did anyone else who made visits to his room. Rhode's scent. He wasn't sure why it had lingered for a few days but it was finally starting to drift away. It wasn't a bad scent. In fact, it was actually a rather pleasant one. Granted, it was associated with a homicidal child who was part of a clan bent on the annihilation of the human race but it was still...sweet, in its own way. The smell had been particularly strong on the blanket where she had flopped down and began doing dirty deeds though that's where the smell lasted the least amount of time since Allen had made it a point to quickly wash that blanket almost immediately.
Allen took a moment to make sure Link was awake before breathing deep. He had found himself doing this at least once or twice a day since Rhode's visit. He found it peculiar that he allowed the scent to stay instead of simply opening his window and fanning it out, even though it was a reminder of the awkward situation that Rhode had presented him with. Though he felt that such a pleasing scent ought not go to waste. Especially since this would probably be the last night he would be able to smell it, considering the rate at which it had been fading the previous two nights.
Oddly enough, he found it relaxing as his eyelids grew heavier. He lay back down and began to close his eyes. Before sleep took him, he had one final thought.
Rhode. What a strange creature you are.

Eh, I didn't really think much of this chapter. Or about it. Regardless, I would appreciate as much feedback as possible. Also, read Only Human.
