Chapter Two
The red head crossed her arms over her chest and growled at the tiny man beside her. The two walked slightly ahead of the three other exorcist down a dirt road. Lavi couldn’t help but chuckle at the adorable pout he could see on the girls face. And all it earned him was a less than threatening glare from said girl. She huffed as they continued to walk, she couldn’t believe the predicament she had gotten herself into.
“Alright lets start with your name.”
The girl bit her lip and stared back down at the floor boards. “Mikihara Ayaka” She mumbled as the man nodded.
“Do you know anything about the things you’ve been fighting? Or what Innocence is?” She didn’t bother to look up as she drew imaginary circles on the ground.
Shaking her head she grumbled. “Only what the pirate and scarecrow over there told me. That those things are something called Akuma.” The two boys seemed to puff up and bristle at the insults. Which cause Ayaka to snort lightly. At least she got a brief chuckle out of it. Lenalee giggled at the comment behind them.
Bookman sighed and nodded. Then he began to go into a less than detailed description of Akuma, exorcist, and the Order. She didn’t need to know about every detail just yet. The girl nodded and listened intently to the old mans words. Afterwards he asked her if she had any questions, but she couldn’t think of any at the moment so he continued.
He finished with a few questions of her home and family. At the mention of family she stiffened and went silent. After a few silent minutes he let it pass and stood.
“Wait…can I have it back!” She stood as well, looking rather pitifully at the man. He shook his head and went to leave the room.
“You’ll get it back when you’ve answered our questions.”
She pouted and stared at the man, “I answered them.”
She could almost see a smirk on the old mans wrinkly face. “The supervisor might have some question back at head quarters. I never said you had to answer only my questions.” The girls jaw dropped, and she nearly dropped the sheet that covered her as well. “Get some sleep, we have a journey ahead of us.” Aya let out a low growl as the two boys snuck out, leaving the fuming girl alone with Lenalee.
“This isn’t fair…” She mumbled as she slowed her steps, falling out of step with the oddly fast old man. She shoved her hands into her coat pockets. She hated this, being denied her Innocence, she felt lost without it. And the fact that it was in the grubby hands of a stranger made her feel even more hopeless. Even if they all reassured her that he wouldn’t try to steal it.
Lavi saw the girl falling behind and lightly jogged up to her. “Don’t worry. It ain’t so bad.”
Aya glared slightly. “Fine then let someone take your hammer thingy and refuse to give it back.” The boy tilted his head before smiling. He reached down and unhooked said object and held it over towards her. She frowned and looked down at it.
“You can hold onto it till head quarters.” He said lightly as he tapped it on her crossed arms. His smirk grew as she slowly reached out and took the tiny hammer. She bit her lip and held it up, slightly examining it.
“It’s tiny…” She said off handily which caused Lavi to pout and kick up some dirt in the road. No guy liked a girl calling anything of theirs tiny.
“It grows.” He said sourly and he was shocked into silence when he heard her giggle. He looked over at her, seeing her giggling at him with a smile on her face. He couldn’t help but smile back as she gently twirled his innocence in her fingers.
Allen peeked back at the two behind them. He snorted slightly as he watched Lavi waving his arms in the arm recklessly, probably telling some story of their adventures.
“You want me to go into there…” Aya pointed up to the big spooky looking castle. Lavi nodded happily as the others began to walk towards the huge building in the distance. “You know when, like, adults tell you not to talk to strangers, and to stay away from the creepy van with the dark windows.” Aya let out a dry laugh. “Well, I think that that building is another one of the things parents should warn you about.”
Lavi started laughing and shaking his head at the girl. She was too cute. “C’mon.” He took her by the elbow and started pulling her towards the building. “It’s probably the safest place you can be…”
She rolled her eyes and reluctantly allowed herself to be pulled along. “Yeah, I’m sure. You’d think they make it more welcoming looking if they want you to feel safe. I feel like I’m having a pirate pull me off the plank right into hell itself.”
Lavi stopped and turned towards her with a frown on his cute face. “Why are you calling me a pirate!”
Aya laughed before pointing to his eye patch. “Cause you got the whole pirateness down. Plus, none of you told me your names. So what the hell am I suppose to call you!” Lavi seemed to realize she was right. They hadn’t introduced themselves. Suddenly the young man felt like an idiot, and the blush on his face seemed to indicate his embarrassment.
“Geez! You should have asked!” He took a deep breath before putting his ever goofy smile back on his face. “I’m Lavi! I said this before, but that guy up there with the white hair is Allen.” He then pointed to the other girl with them. “That’s Lenalee, you’ll be meeting her brother soon he’s the supervisor.” He leaned down closer to her ear. “He’s a little bit of a whacko but don’t worry.” Then he smiled as he moved back putting his hands behind his head. “The old panda is Bookman.”
Aya narrowed her eyes as she watched the laid back boy walk beside her. “So, this Bookman is the one keeping my things hostage!” The boy nodded as they approached the floating like castle. “And you are leading me into a freaky death looking castle to meet this Lenalee’s brother, who is a whacko.” The red head boy nodded again and Aya just stopped. “I’m going to end up in like a cell being tortured, aren’t I?”
Lavi look back at her a flirtatious smirk appeared on his lips. “Not unless you like that kind of kink.” After the initial shock Aya glared before smacking the boy on the back of his head.
“PERVERT!” She yelled as he took off and she took chase. He figured he’d have a few bumps and bruises by the time she was finished with him. Yet, he couldn’t find himself caring much, that pinkish tint to her cheeks was well worth a light beating.
Aya sat in the corner of the room shivering and trying to stop herself from throwing up her stomach contents all over the floor. Not like she had anything to throw up anyway. Right now the room was empty but she’d only been put in this room like ten minutes ago…
It was actually rather cute the way Aya stood behind Lavi, quietly trying to hide behind the one person she even remotely trusted in the group. Komui was busy hugging the life out of his sister, while his eyes secretly took in the other girl in the room.
Aya resisted the strong urge to grab hold of Lavi's sleeve and cling to it like a lost child. She had already been scared out of her normally logical mind when the gatekeeper door thing had screamed at her. They had said it didn’t mean to scream, that it’s voice was just normally loud. But that didn’t help calm her nerves, she was even more reluctant to enter the building.
Then they had met this man, this Komui. She quickly understood why Lavi had called him a whacko but she didn’t think that the name even came close to what his man was. Obsessive would be more like it, stalker if you wanted to get more evil-ish. He didn’t even acknowledge the other people in the room, he just attack his sister, hugging and babbling to her.
Finally he took notice of the others and Bookman pulled him aside briefly. Aya saw a glimpse of her pole before it was handed over to the crazy one.
“Hey! Give it back!” She stomped passed Lavi and made reach for the object that was being held hostage. Komui quickly twirled in a very unmanly twirl before smiling goofily back at the girl.
“Soon enough dear Aya-chan!”
She bit her lip until it nearly bled, stopping herself from launching herself at the funny hat wearing man. She wanted to gut him and feed him to the chickens she’d seen in a near by town. ‘Would chickens eat meat…’ She wondered as she looked back at Lavi.
“Well, not what!” She growled and the hat wearing man smirked.
“You get to meet Hevlaska.” Allen froze and Aya didn’t know if she liked the sound of meeting this Hevlaska.
She was proven right when she stood in front of the huge wormy-centipede like creature. The thing had told her not to be scared, that she was an exorcist as well. But that didn’t help Aya's grossness level go down when the thing picked her up and began to inspect her. She was not calmed nor collected when the thing placed her back on the platform, actually she was even more panicked.
After the hellish experience, in which she couldn’t even remember what the big white thing had said, she was escorted to a room by Komui himself.
And there she sat, in the corner, with her knees firmly against her chest and her arms tightly around them. Her face hiding itself in her knees. “He still didn’t give it back…” She mumbled against her own skin.
“Why should I!” Aya growled out, finally coming out of her horrified state. It was well into the third day of her being brought to this hellish place. Yet, she still was no where near the object that the overly deprived of sleep elderly man had taken.
“Because we need to see how skilled you are.” Komui said in a sing song voice, which echoed off the walls of the huge training room.
Aya crossed her arms and plopped onto the cold hard stone floor. “No!”
Komui smirked and reached behind himself and magically pulled out a pretty red pole. “What if I say I’ll give this back to you?”
Aya eyed the man suspiciously, her own hands itching to spring out and grab her property. “Yeah, right! That’s what you’ve all been saying this whole time. And I still don’t have it. Why should I believe you all? All you do is lie!” She hmphed and turned her nose up and away from him. She was annoyed and angry, plus she hadn’t seen Lavi since she arrived. It wasn’t that she wanted to see him, really! It was just that he was the only one that was remotely above nothingness on her scale of people to trust. At least that’s what she reasoned whenever she found her eyes looking for the red headed pirate.
“Well, I’ll give it to you for you to fight with.” Komui proclaimed as he wiggled the object around in front of her. This caught the girls attention, just like he thought it would.
“You’ll give it to me at this very moment?” She asked with an odd look in her eyes. She didn’t believe him, they’d give her back her weapon. They didn’t even know what it was, how she used it, or if she would be able to kill them with it. ‘What’s the catch?’ She thought as she slowly stood to her feet. She held out her hand and waited.
Komui smiled as he skipped over to the girl. Holding out her Innocence he dropped it into her hand. His eyes nearly softened as her face seemed to relax and she sighed in relief.
Aya smiled a small smile as her fingers wrapped around the cold red metal. It was like coming into a warm home after wandering around in a cold blizzard. With her smile quickly turning into a smirk she flipped the pole in her hand, apparently it was upside down. Then she took a stance, eyeing the man with the funny hat. Maybe, she should try to kill him, and run out of this crazy place.
Komui watched her intently as she fixed her hold on her weapon. Well, he couldn’t really see how a pole could have an up and down side, but hey to each their own. He saw the look in the girls eyes and knew she was contemplating his demise. Yet, after a few moments she still made no indication of moving. Then he noticed her eyes were no long on him. Smiling his silly smile he followed her eyes.
“Oh, so I see you’ve found your tester.” Kanda scoffed as he strolled out of the darkened corner. His hand held firmly on the hilt of his sword. Aya snarled lowly as she eyed the boy walking towards her. She didn’t like this, didn’t like this one bit.
Lavi was making his way towards the library. It was like his second room, sadly. The Bookman had been keeping him busy since he wasn’t on any missions right then. He was rather peeved about it really, he wanted to be the one to show Aya around. It wasn’t that he had any special feelings for the other red head, but she seemed most comfortable with him. ‘Yeah, that was right.’ He thought, then he suddenly heard an unmistakable voice.
“Is that all?”
Lavi smirked as he walked over to the ledge above the training grounds. He was taking a deep breath, ready to scream. “YU-C…” He stopped abruptly as he recognized the person Kanda was training with.
Aya grunted as she wiped her bloodied lip with the back of her hand. Kanda didn’t even give her time to collect her thoughts, he rushed at her sword drawn. The clang of his sharp sword hitting her round pole echoed throughout the cold stone walls. Aya was having trouble keeping up with the swords mans pace, he was much quicker than any Akuma she had been attacked by. She also knew that this Kanda had no problems with pounding her into the ground. She already had a bloodied lip and plenty of cuts to prove it. The evil samurai had sent her flying backwards into the stone wall more than once, and if she looked hard enough she thought she could see him enjoying it.
Too lost in her thoughts she allowed her attention to slip, which was a horrible mistake. Kanda expected her to dodge but she didn’t and his sword was on a nonstop flight to her throat. In her foggy panicked mind she thought she heard someone yelling “grow, grow, grow!” Then the next thing she knew she was on the other side of the grounds, with only a small cut on her neck from Kanda's blade. Which she knew should have taken off her head.
She let out the breath she’d been holding and leaned back, only to meet warm firmness. She didn’t even have a chance to say anything.
“Kanda!” Lavi growled out, throwing away the cute nickname he’d usually called the raven haired man. “You could have killed her!”
“Not my problem.” Kanda sheathed his sword and crossed his arms over his chest. “She should have been paying attention.”
Lavi tightened his hold around the girl he’d just swooped in and carried to safety. “Who told you to loose your head while training her!”
“Che!” Kanda huffed as he turned his back to them. “It’s not my fault her Innocence is useless, it doesn’t have any bite to it!”
Aya finally broke free of the horrible confines of Lavi's arms. Though she rather liked the warmness of his body on her back, and the way his arms held her protectively, but she’d never ever admit that aloud. She had enough time trying to admit it to herself. “How dare you!”
Kanda rolled his eyes. “I’m just stating the obvious.”
Neither of the boys had time to react. Aya twirled her pole again getting into a stance neither had seen before. “I’ll let Zetsumei bleed you dry.” She hissed as the red coloring of the pole began to glow lightly, morphing and curving slightly. “Activate!” She growled, and ran towards the swordsman.
Kanda's eyes widened as he pulled his sword out and he barely stopped the shiny black sharp edge. “What…” He didn’t have much time before the girl jumped back and glowered at him. Both boys took in the weapons new form.
Aya expertly twirled the red curvy pole in her hand as she readied herself to lunge at the other boy. The sharp metal that curved from the top never scratching the ground as she attacked.
Lavi couldn’t take his eyes away from the vicious looking item in the girls hand. “Oh, it’s a scythe.” Said a voice behind him. He spun around, eyes landing on Komui who sat back sipping his coffee.
After a few moments of blind fury not letting her land a single hit on the swordsman she felt a swift kick to her stomach. Once again the girl was flying backwards, but this time instead of hitting the wall she used her Innocence to lightly flip her in the air and she landed in a crouched position.
Lavi finally got a good look at the girl and realized her usually dull red eyes were glowing brightly. Right before she went to attack again Komui stood and loudly clapped his hands. “Well, that’s enough for today.” He turned towards Kanda who shrugged, sheathed his sword again, and walked away.
Aya felt her blood boil at the rude dismissal but closed her eyes, slowly trying to get control over her now raging emotions. Her fingers twitched lightly around the handle of her weapon, then it lost its red glow and returned to the innocent looking pole it was before. When she reopened her eyes they were the dull red from before.
“You…you okay?” Lavi asked nervously as he and Komui took a few cautious steps towards her.
She turned her head towards Lavi and smirked, “it grows pretty big doesn’t it…” She teased out before her eyes rolled into the back of her head and her legs gave out from under her.
Lavi was quick enough to catch her before her body met the cold unforgiving ground. He couldn’t stop the chuckle that left him as he plucked her up into his arms. He turned towards the supervisor and smirked. “The hospital wing?” Komui nodded before skipping off on his merry way, leaving Lavi to deal with the unconscious girl.
Back in his room Kanda stripped himself of his uniform, getting ready for a much needed shower. As he untied his hair and looked at his naked chest in the mirror he frowned. ‘That was a close one…’ He thought as he took a rag and washed off the blood from his chest. Revealing a shallow cut across it.
Well, that's it for now...
Hope someone enjoyed that...
