Kanda glanced towards the girl as her eyes seemed to focus, her body had stopped it‘s relentless attack. Her voice was coarse and far away. He was still a little bit away and the Noah had noticed her sudden state of immobilization. The sick grin grew on Tyki’s face, he brought his hand back and propelled it forward. It heading directly for Aya’s heart. “It’s been fun.” He chuckled, as Aya’s now clear eyes widened. The scream from her mouth seemed to echo and bounce of the ruined buildings all around the broken town.
Chapter Fourteen
Lavi sat up in his bed, breathing heavily and eyes wide. He looked to his side and sighed. A smile graced his lips as he looked down at the girl sleeping beside him. Laying back down he turned to his side staring at the sleeping girl. “Ayaka…” He whispered, but as he reached out her eyes popped open and he froze. Her sad eyes bore into him and he felt his heart give a painful throb. Quickly he reached out to engulf her in a hug, to make that sadness leave her eyes. Yet, when his arms reached for her, they only found covers and bed.
Looking at where his Aya was just laying he found nothing. “My mind is playing tricks on me.” He muttered as he fell to his back on the bed. Rubbing his forehead, he refused to let his eyes close again. Refused to allow his mind to replay the nightmare he’d just been through. With a sigh, he curled on his side and stared out into the night sky, “get your ass back here.”
A silent scream fell off her lips as a thin trickle of blood rolled down her chin. Her hands loosened efficiently dropping her weapons. The twin scythes falling onto the ground below the building she stood on top of. Her body gave a twitch as Tyki smirked at her. Her eyes wide, as she stared at her attacker, with confusion. Kanda stood frozen not five feet from the two. For the first time in a long time, fear had him unable to move to Aya’s side.
Aya felt the Noah’s firm grip on her heart. She could feel his fingers tightening, stopping the organ from beating as it normally did. She didn’t know how she had gotten there, last she remembered was being eaten by the dreadful butterflies. Coming out of his stupor Kanda took a steady step towards them. Without warning, Tyki gave a squeeze, the same sadistic smirk plastered on his lips. Aya let out a grunting sound of pain, not much more being able to be voiced. She was sure she would have long been on her knees in pain if the dark mans hand wasn’t currently impaled in her chest.
Moving on their own her shaky arms rose and her hands gripped around her attackers. A painful, yet ironic laugh left her lips, causing Tyki to look at her oddly. Didn’t people start to cry now, start to beg for their lives, not laugh. No they weren’t suppose to laugh. Her eyes closed and a small smile came to her lips. “Lavi…” She said breathlessly, thoughts of the loveable red head whirled in her mind.
Kanda watched from his short distances, trying to figure out what to do. Normally he would have just rushed in, in attempts to kill the enemy, not worrying about his partner. But this was Aya, someone who, no matter how much he hated or denied it, he’d grown attached too. He didn’t want her to die, and he certainly didn’t want to deal with a distraught Lavi again.
Tyki’s hand loosened drastically as he stared at the confusing girl. His head tilted to the side, he suddenly didn’t want to kill her, yet. He wanted to know why she wasn’t scared, wasn’t trembling in fear. He wanted to know what caused her to smile, even though he literally held her life in the palm of his hand. His hand loosened even more, barely gripping the now sluggishly beating heart. He opened his mouth to voice his questions. “How…”
Aya smirked inwardly, as she felt his hold fall slack. Gulping she used the last of her strength, and her hold on Tyki’s arm, to push the male back. The momentum she used to send the male away from her had her falling backwards. She closed her eyes, knowing she had no strength to stop her downward fall off the roof, and to the earth many stories below her. Tyki’s eyes widened as he felt his hand loose it’s grasp on her, and his arm started to free itself from her body. In a last ditch effort to finish her off, his hand gripped at whatever it could as her body fell backwards.
Aya felt pain sear through her skin as the Noah managed to tear his fingers down her front. He hissed in slight satisfaction at the blood and tiny pieces of flesh that stained his hands. ‘The fall will kill her.’ He reasoned as her body fell out of sight. Smirking he brought the bloody hand to his face, staring at it in fascination. “Pity…” He muttered smearing the blood through his fingers.
Kanda sprung into action the moment he saw Aya’s body fall. Leaping down to catch up with her unconscious body’s growing speed. He pushed off the building, and caught her, sending them both tumbling to the ground on the other side of the street. Her seemingly dead form was held protectively against his chest. He hissed as he tried to move his arm, finding out quickly that it was unusable. With labored breaths he glanced up to where the enemy was. ‘They seem to only really be after Aya.’ He reasoned as he struggled to his feet, trying to keep the girls body in his arms. Sighing he leaned against the wall, half standing. Blood poured from the wound on Aya’s chest, he had to get her tended to fast. Checking up again for the enemy, he found golden eyes peering down at him.
Tyki tsk’ed as he looked down at the two. “She doesn’t know how to die, does she?” He mumbled before disappearing from their sight. Kanda cursed under his breath, quickly looking for where the man had gone too. Tyki watched from his perch on another building top. His eyes focusing on his main target, Ayaka. He was forming another plan of attack in his head when he felt a rip in the dimensions. Frowning, he looked over at the new arrival.
“The Earl wants you to come home.” Road piped happily swinging a grumbling umbrella.
“I will return after I finish this task.” He said standing and turning to start his plan.
Suddenly, Road appeared in his path smiling up at him. “He said to tell you, you will return now, as it is very important.” She said with a wink of sorts, and jumping around the dark male.
With a sigh of annoyance, Tyki nodded and the two Noah disappeared from the now destroyed town. Before he left, Tyki glanced back at the direction his targets were. A menacing smile came upon his face, ‘this gets more and more interesting every time I meet her.’
Kanda hissed as he pulled Aya up with his uninjured arm. He half carried her, her feet dragging on the dirt road. He knew it would be smarter to just leave the girl, and find out where the enemy was, then attack and kill. Yet, he couldn’t bring himself to just leave her. He heard a shuffling sound from the alley they were passing and quickly turned. Not really sure what he could do if something did attack.
The Finder came out of the darkness, his hands up in a nonthreatening gesture. “It's me, remember I was sent by the Order.” If the Finder had been watching closely he would have seen the sigh that left Kanda’s body.
“Take her, we need to get out of here.” The young samurai muttered carefully handing the girl to the Finder. The Finder quickly scooped the girl up and followed after the other Exorcist. The Finder couldn’t help but gasp as he took in the girls wounds, then blush a little when he realized the huge hole in the front of her shirt. Kanda quickly turned, and soon mirrored the same blush. With a groan of pain, he swiftly removed his jacket and laid it over the unconscious girl.
“They have a good doctor, I believe, at the town I was just at. It’s only about a half an hour away.” The Finder supplied as the two left the town.
Kanda briefly glanced back at the two with a hard look on his face. ‘I don’t think she’ll make it that long.’ Thankfully, luck was on their side and a family with a carriage gave them a ride.
Lavi looked over at Bookman who sat beside him in the carriage. “Where are we going?” The younger male asked with a huff. He wanted to be back at the Order, he wanted to be there when Aya got back. Bookman ignored his apprentices annoying questioning. As far as he was concerned, Lavi knew all he needed to. At least all he needed to keep a level head about things. Bookman had been pre-briefed before Lavi had arrived for the briefing of the mission.
Komui took a deep breath as Bookman made his way into the room. The panda like man stood in front of the desk as the supervisor began. “You are heading to pick up Kanda and Ayaka.” The Bookman nodded and Komui continued. “I believe they were attacked by a Noah.” This seemed to catch the Bookman’s attention, but right as he was about to ask for the other to continue there was a knock at the door. Lavi popped his head in with his usually smile on his face. Though those that knew him well enough, saw that it lacked it normal ‘shine’.
Komui’s attitude did a one-eighty as he jumped from his seat smiling goofily. “Lavi! How wonderful! You are going on a mission!” He then explained to the young man that the two were going to do some research on an enemy that had been seen in a village. Thankfully, Lavi wasn’t previously informed of Aya’s mission, or he’d know the town was only one away.
Lavi glanced out of the corner of his eye at his teacher. Sighing, he realized he wasn’t getting an answer form the evil little man. Crossing his arms over his chest, he slouched in his seat and closed his eyes. ‘Might as well sleep till we get there, maybe Aya will be home by the time we’re done.’
“Kanda-san…” The nurse yelled at the male who was storming down the hallway. “You shouldn’t be up walking around!” She said rushing after him, but he only ignored her and continued walking. The nurse huffed and allowed him to go, seeing as this was the third time he had left his bed.
Kanda came to a door and pushed it open, quietly he made his way into the room. He gulped as he walked up to the bed and stood beside it. His eyes checked the form of the girl laying in the bed before him. Checking her body for possibly injuries, like more would appear from the hospital staff.
As if feeling his eyes on her, her own eyes fluttered open. Aya smirked as she startled him out of his injury check. “Shouldn’t you be in your room?” Kanda scoffed and took a seat in the chair by the bed. “You’re only going to harm yourself more.” She muttered turning her head to look at him. The boy only sat there, staring out the window. Sighing, Aya attempted to sit up, only to be stopped by a hand on her forehead. “Umm…” She said looked over at Kanda as he glared down at her.
“You have to stay in bed.” He said in a even tone, causing her to laugh. Which in turn cause her hand to fly to the wound on her chest. Frowning he watched her hand grip her shirt that covered the area.
Forcing out a smile she shook her head, as if saying she was alright. “You were told to stay in bed too.” She gritted out between her teeth, the throbbing pain in her chest was back and just breathing was slightly painful.
He sighed, keeping his hand on her forehand, stopping her from trying to sit up again. “I wasn’t the one who died and came back to life either.” He tiredly growled out recalling the day before events. After those words Aya seemed to stop trying to move from the bed, and simply lay there staring at the ceiling. Kanda relaxed in his seat and went back to staring out the window. He still felt shook up from the day before. When the doctor had informed him that Aya’s heart had stopped, but they were able to bring her back. They were shocked to see her so awake now, but he only came up with one conclusion - Aya was full of surprises. After a few moments of silence he turned back to her. “They are sending a team to help escort you back to head quarters.”
Aya’s eyes turned to him, a gleam of hope shinning in the depths. “Did they say who? Just some Finders?” Kanda just stared a her for a moment before shrugging, then wincing. “Oh, that’s good then, right? We get to go home.” Aya looked back to the ceiling after Kanda nodded his answer. ‘Home…’ She thought as she let her eyes close and a small smile stayed on her face.
“Why are we going to the hospital?” Lavi asked scratching the back of his head, “I’m sure there are better places to collect information.”
The Bookman made not visible signs of answering him, but deep down the old man was sighing in relief. He was worried they would arrive before Kanda and Aya. Yet, he had been informed by the Finder that the two had indeed been admitted. Lavi felt his heart pick up as they entered the large building. He didn’t like hospitals, then again not many people did.
“Ah, you are here for the two right?” A Finder said as he made his way up to them. Bookman nodded, Lavi only looked more confused. Nodding, the Finder turned to lead the way. “Kanda-san wouldn’t stay in his room, so they are both in Mikihara-san’s room.”
Lavi froze in his steps and his eyes stared forward. “Aya is here?” He asked in a hushed tone. He came too and saw the Bookman and Finder standing outside of a door, waiting for him. Lavi felt his feet moving before his mind caught up and before he knew it, he was at the door swinging it open. “Aya!”
