Chapter Six
Tyki looked on in slight confusion. He was standing the forest watching over the Itou house.
The girl ran from the house, grabbing a few chunks of fire wood and ran back into the house. She ran back into the light drizzle and preceded to take the laundry down, it would never dry in the rain.
“This is the dangerous exorcist I’m here to eliminate.” The handsome Noah muttered with a smirk. “Is it possible that I was given the wrong description?” He doubted the Earl was ever wrong, but this girl looked more like a house wife than a killer. He crossed his arms over his chest and leaned back against a tree, he’d have to snoop a little.
Miyu rung out the last shirt in the pile. Ryo came up next to her and smiled sheepishly. “Sorry about that, I didn’t think it would rain.” Miyu only smiled back at him in return. Suddenly Miyu turned her head and glared out the window. Her body gave an involuntary shudder as she stared into the foreboding forest.
Tyki met eyes with curious dull red ones. ‘She noticed me?’ He wondered. She was looking directly at him, even if he was hidden in the darkness of the trees. He’d even bet money on it that she was looking him right in the eyes. After a minute or two the girl looked away and Tyki was left to wonder if he had been spotted.
“Everything okay, Miyu.” The girl turned back to her brother like figure and nodded.
“Just thought I saw something in the forest.” Ryo leaned over and looked out the window Miyu had just been staring out of. He saw nothing but shrugged it off and went back to making dinner.
“Crap!” Ryo yelled from the kitchen, Miyu rushed in worried something was wrong. Ryo looked back at her from his position on the floor. “Ah, I just dropped something.” He scooped up the mess and threw it away. “Damn that was my last egg.” He grumbled.
Miyu was already throwing on a coat before she even spoke. “I’ll run into town and buy some.” Ryo went to protest but the girl was already out the door.
Tyki tilted his head as the girl left the house making her way to town. He fixed his hat and went to silently follow her. He’d probably just have the Akuma finish her off. She didn’t seem like a fun toy to play with, she didn’t even seem like a exorcist.
Lavi took a panted breath as he took shelter under a stores roof. A bell jingled as Allen came out from the store. “Anything?” Lavi asked watching the rain fall in thin sheets.
Allen pulled his hood up and nodded. “They say someone matching the description is staying in the house on the outskirts, with a man named Itou Ryo.” His eyebrows frowned and Lavi asked what was wrong. Allen took a step into the rain and turned to the red head. “They say it matched but her name isn’t Mikihara Ayaka. She’s named Itou Miyu.”
Lavi looked down at the soggy ground. Allen sighed tapped his friends shoulder. “Let’s go check it out anyway.” Lavi nodded and the two walked off down the main road, into the rain, towards a house by the forests edge.
Miyu knew a faster way to get from her home to the shopping area than the main road. So she weaved through the back of houses and trees to get to her designation. She had a odd feeling and kept looking behind her as she continued on. It didn’t take long for her to get back to the town, no more than ten minutes, five if she ran. With a relived filled sigh she walked into the tiny grocery store.
Tyki smirked as he watched the girl. He loved when they got nervous, loved it more when they were scared. He’d let her think she was safe in the well populated store, but once he thought she had enough of that false security he’d strike. There was only one way to truly make sure she wasn’t an exorcist that would hinder the Earl's plan, and that was to kill her.
Allen and Lavi stopped on the porch of the small home. Allen went to knock but the door suddenly flew open. “Miyu, we could have…” Ryo stopped when he realized his mistake. “Uh, sorry, can I help you?”
Lavi looked up at the man, then tried to peek into the home behind him. He couldn’t help it he was anxious and nervous. ‘Aya could be in there!”
Allen looked over and realized his friend was not going to say anything so he took the lead. “Yea, we’re looking for someone.” The two boys seemed to notice the man stiffen suddenly. “It’s a girl around our age, she has…” He was cut off by Lavi who looked up at the man.
“Her names Aya.”
Ryo looked down at Lavi and took a step back, closing the door a little more. “There’s no one here by that name.” He didn’t know how to react to the look in the boys eyes. Ryo had a feeling these people were here for Miyu, yet he didn’t know if he should hand her over.
“She has red hair and dull red eyes.” Lavi continued. “She has a scar under her jaw by her ear,” Lavi looked down at the ground and a small smile appeared on his face. “She bites her lip when she’s thinking too hard, she’s a smart ass but she’s cute about it. And she pretty dense when you think about it.” Lavi scratched the back of his head, then realized the two others were looking at him. “Shit, sorry.” He muttered in embarrassment.
Ryo's eyes softened as he listened to the boy. He had no doubt that the girl they were looking for was his very own Miyu. Yet he was reluctant to tell them the truth and it wasn’t only because he didn’t want to lose his companion. He still remembered the horrible cuts and bruises on the girl when he found her. She would have bled to death had he not been walking down that particular path that day. How was he suppose to be sure these weren’t the bastards that had done that to her?
Lavi watched the mans face as he seemed to be debating with himself over something. Suddenly it clicked, this man was protecting the girl that was living with him. Dread hit him as he took a step forwards. “Does Aya not want to be found?” Both Ryo and Allen shot their eyes to the red head. Lavi looked torn between wanting to hear the answer and busting through the door and dragging Aya back if she liked it or not.
Sighing and running a hand through his hair Ryo opened the door fully. Gesturing the two boys to come in. “I told you there is no Aya here.” As the boys walked in Ryo closed the door and led them to the kitchen. “Do either of you want a drink?” The boys shook their heads no, they just wanted the man to speak.
Ryo leaned back against the counter and took one more look at the two boys. ‘They seem too concerned to have been the ones to hurt her.’ He deducted as he crossed his arms over his chest. “There is no girl here by the name Ayaka but there is one who goes by the name Itou Miyu though, and she is more than likely the same girl.”
Lavi went stiff in his seat, ‘Aya is here.’ His eyes darted around the room looking for the girl.
Ryo shook his head at the boys obvious questioning look. “She’s not here at the moment. She ran to town, silly girl jetted out the door before I told her I could make something else for dinner.” He smiled fondly as he spoke of her. “I found her over three months ago, in the forest.” Allen took a sharp breath. “She was pretty badly off, she was unconscious for a while too.” Ryo looked back up, locking eyes with Lavi, who he had come to the conclusion was more involved with his Miyu. “When she woke up she had forgotten everything, she couldn’t even remember her own name. Itou Miyu is the name I gave her.”
At that moment Lavi's whole world froze. ‘Aya has forgot everything…’ The same sentence running on replay in his mind. “Forgotten everything?” The boy whispered in disbelief.
Them saving her, them bringing her back to the Order, all of the training sessions with Kanda, all of the eating contest with Allen (which she always lost), all of the teasing Lenalee for her crush on Allen. It was so confusing to him that she could forget, yet those things didn’t bother him as much as he thought they should.
Lavi felt like his world had been shoved into an ice age because ‘Aya has forgotten me…’ He had come to the conclusion, on their trip there, that his feelings for Aya were far deeper than he had first thought. He wasn’t really sure what to name it, or if the girl felt the same. He knew he was in trouble when in the back of his mind he was relieved, Aya wasn’t refusing to come back to him, she just forgot where he was. ‘That was a start, right?’
Allen jumped from his seat. “Where is she? In town?” Ryo jumped in surprise at the boys suddenness.
“Ye…yes. Why?” Ryo began to get defensive. “You can’t just take her, you’ll scare her! She just started remembering things and it‘s terrifying her!”
‘Terrifying her?’ Lavi thought before he soon stood too, quickly realizing what Allen was thinking. “That’s not it, sir.” He glanced at Allen before looking back towards the man. “Aya…I mean Miyu if she is the girl we’re looking for, is an exorcist.” Ryo frowned, seemingly not believing the two. “She could be in danger if something were to attack her.” That caught Ryo's attention, even if he didn’t fully believe the two, he didn’t want to take the chance that they might be right.
Nodding he grabbed his jacket and threw it on. “I know a shortcut.” The three ran from the house just in time to hear a loud explosion and see a huge cloud of dust lift from the town not far from them. Without another word Ryo took off into the shortcut, fear pooling into his stomach. ‘Miyu…’
Miyu thanked the woman and took her small purchase. She left the store and frowned as the rain came down harder. She held the bag close to her chest as she stepped out from the cover. Flashes of a large black castle made its way quickly before her eyes but she just shook it away. She walked down the street, thinking she’d get wet if she ran or walked. The flashes were a little more clear now, but they didn’t really make sense, and the people still had unrecognizable faces. She heard a clanking sound that had her looking up from the dirt road. She froze and dropped her package at what she saw. “What…”
The four Akuma looked down at her. “Is that the one?” One asked.
“That’s it. That’s it!” The second answered. “She’s the one!”
“Hahahaha, look it's scared!” The third swooped low to get a better look. “Can I eat her?”
“No, no! Boss said I could!” The forth taunted from behind her. “Scared little exorcist.”
Miyu grabbed her head as pain seared through it. ‘Not now…’ She groaned in her head. A vision of sorts flashed through her mind.
“Stop letting your emotions get a hold of you!” A young male scolded her as he put his sword away.
“Everyone has emotions!” The girl argued back from her spot on the cold stone floor. “You can’t just turn them off!” She crossed her arms over her chest. “Maybe you should show more of yours!” She grumbled unhappily.
“You have to get your priorities in the right order!” The male growled back. “As an exorcist you cannot lose your head in the middle of battle!”
A womans shrill scream knocked Miyu back into reality just in time to dodge and run from the monsters attack.
‘What the hell am I suppose to do!’ She ran down the street, cut left, and hid behind a building. Taking deep breaths she closed her eyes to think. ’How the hell am I suppose to kill the Akuma?’ She was too worked up to realized what she had just called the monster. Yet, she couldn’t help but realize she wasn’t scared, shouldn’t be terrified of these monsters. ‘I mean they are Akuma!’ Another vision like flash had her falling to her knees. Holding her head in her hands she bit her lip trying to will the slight pain away so she could think straight.
“You can’t hiding in here from Kanda forever, ya know.” Said a voice hidden behind a tower of books.
“But if he comes you wont tell him I’m here right?” The girl replied from her hiding spot behind a book case.
The male voice laughed and she could hear the page of a book turn. “Of course not Aya…” His voice was calming and she couldn’t help but smile.
“This is not the time to start remembering things!” She whispered to herself still crouching close to the ground.
The Akuma fired its cannon like weapon and blew the building to smithereens. Miyu screamed and turned. Glaring at the big monster her hand instinctively reached to grab something off her back. When her hand got nothing she frowned, ‘what am I doing?’ She turned and took off running again. She didn’t know why but her legs were leading her away from town. Like somewhere deep in her mind something was telling her to get these things away from the townspeople. Yet as she ran and dodged the attacks from the three Akuma she couldn’t help but wonder. ‘What am I?’
Tyki watched from the darkness wondering why the girl wasn’t fighting back. ‘Maybe she really isn’t an exorcist.’ Shrugging his shoulder he warped away from the town. No use staying around to watch the Akuma kill some nameless girl. When the Akuma finally killed her, if she was the one he was looking for, she’d be erased from his list. If she wasn’t he’d have to start from scratch to find the real Mikihara Ayaka.
The three males ran right into the town. Towards the shop Ryo knew Miyu should be at. They looked around and saw the tell tale signs of some sort of battle. Lavi cursed under his breath that caused Ryo to look back at him. “Wait, what happened? What does this mean? Where’s Miyu?”
Lavi ignored the man as he walked over to the rubble for a clue to where Aya was. It bothered him deeply that he kept referring to her as Miyu. ’Aya is Aya.’ The rain washed away any footprints that might have led the way. Allen took a looked from the frantic older Ryo to the oddly quiet Lavi. “She would take it away from the town.” Lavi mumbled standing and looking for the fastest way out of the town.
“What?” Ryo asked.
“Even if she doesn’t remember. She would know to try to get it away from innocent people.” Lavi reached behind him and pulled out a long cloth wrapped object. Ryo looked on in confusion as the two boys seemed to stare at the object. “Some things are engraved in our bodies. Aya's mind might have forgotten but her body knows. Knows it has to protect itself,” his hands ran over the clothed object, pulling it off of one end, showing a red pole, “because nothing else will.”
“The flower clearing!” Ryo screamed before taking off running, the two boys ran after him. Running through the back of the small town Ryo was surprisingly fast and within moments they were coming up to a large clearing. Just beyond it the dense forest that surrounded the entire town. It was the movement in the center of the field that caught their attention. Making its way towards the cover of the forest was a girl, leaping and rolling out of the way of the four monsters. Long red almost black wet hair wiped around as she twirled from the bullets.
The girl tripped over her own tired feet and fell to the ground. Miyu panted as she tried to get back to her feet. She was exhausted from running so much and she was bleeding from a cut on her forehead from the building that exploded. Her mind was almost completely blank as to what to do. Gulping she turned onto her behind and began crawling backwards away from the four hovering Akuma. She covered her face with her arms and closed her eyes preparing for impact. ‘Zetsumei!’ Her mind scream even though she had no idea what the name meant.
Miyu faintly heard someone yelling ‘grow, grow, grow!’ She felt her heart leap into her throat at the sound. Then the next thing she knew she was flying through the air being held tightly to a warm chest. Only when she finally felt herself stop moving did she dare open her eyes. Her vision was blurry from her eyes being squeezed shut so tightly. She looked up at the person that held her so securely.
Lavi looked down at the girl in his arm with such raw emotion that he couldn’t even begin to try to cover it up. It was Aya, she was alive, and he had found her. He pulled her body closer to his body, he’d never let her out of his sight again. He held his breath as she slowly looked up at him. He looked down into dull red eyes that were framed by her wet hair. He couldn’t force the smile off of his face when she opened her mouth to speak.
“Who are you?” She whispered out in confusion.
Lavi felt his heart break into thousands of pieces in his chest. The normally beating organ stopped and crumbled into tiny shards from one simple question.
