Chapter Seven
“Who are you?” She whispered out in confusion. The moment the words left her lips she regretted it. The boys face fell into complete despair. “I…”
“LAVI!” Allen yelled to the two trying to make Lavi realize they were still in the middle of a fight. The red head snapped his head up before quickly twisting the girls body and hiding her behind his own. He whipped his hammer out and with a quick swing knocked two of the monsters out of the sky. He’d deal with the fact that Aya didn’t know him after he was sure they were all safe.
Allen turned back to his opponents, Ryo standing not far behind him. “Just stay back.” The white haired boy whispered into the rain, Ryo only nodded as he spared a glace to Miyu. He again didn’t know what to think when he saw the way the red headed boy stood in front of her, shielding her with his own body.
After a few transformations of his arm, Allen fell back next to the older man. He sighed in relief as the two Akuma exploded into dust. Looking over he watched as Lavi finished off the other two. Ryo noticed the monsters were gone and rushed off to Miyu's side.
Miyu watched in odd fascination as the boy before wielded the huge hammer. She felt herself focusing on him, like there weren’t Akuma trying to kill her. Oddly enough she felt a small smile gracing her face as she watched the male. But her eyes were getting heavy, and her body felt like it weighted a ton. After whacking the last Akuma out of the sky and to its death Lavi pocketed his hammer again. Almost reluctantly he turned back to the girl, only to have his heart break again at the sly smile on her face. One that he’d seen so many other times. He frowned as he watched her eyes drop and her body loosen.
Miyu felt her legs give out and her eyes roll back in her head. Right before she blacked out she heard someone scream “Aya”, and felt that warm body holding her again. Lavi grabbed the girls body before she hit the ground.
Ryo came right up beside him. “Miyu!”
Lavi hoisted the girl up in his arms, holding her firmly against his chest. “She’s burning up. We have to get her out of the rain.” He turned and began walking back towards Ryo's home. He pulled her tighter to him, her head laying securely against his shoulder. He could feel the heat coming off of her and sped up his steps.
Ryo closed the door to the girls room and walked back into the living room where the two boys now sat. Allen was rubbing his hair with a towel as Lavi sat on the couch staring at the ground. The moment that they all entered the house Ryo took Miyu from Lavi, much to the red heads annoyance, and gave the two boys instructions to change into dry clothes.
Lavi looked up when he heard the door close. “She okay?” Ryo nodded before putting the kettle on the stove, he needed something warm to drink.
“She has a fever, probably from being in the rain so much and pushing her body too much.” Ryo said as he pulled out three mugs and waited for the water to heat up. “She’ll probably be out for at least the rest of the night.”
Silence filled the house until the kettle whistled signaling it’s readiness. Pouring the three cups he handing the two boys their mugs. “So, I would like to know your names, if you intend to stay here or try to take Miyu with you.”
Lavi and Allen shared a glance before realizing they hadn’t even introduced themselves. Given they were too worry about Aya’s safety but it was very rude of them. Lavi shrugged his shoulders, letting it slide that this man still called his Aya by the wrong name.
“Lavi.” He said in a dull tone, very unlike himself. Allen raised an eyebrow at the other before smiling at the older man.
“Allen Walker.” He held out his hand and Ryo took it shaking it lightly. “We…” He looked at the red head who didn’t seem like he wanted to converse with the older man. “We don’t mean any harm to her.” He mumbled as he took a sip from his mug.
Ryo sighed and placed his cup on the small coffee table. “So, Miyu is the girl you are looking for?”
Lavi slammed his cup down on the table and stood. “Her name is Ayaka!” He growled out between his teeth before walking out the front door, slamming it. He stood on the covered porch and leaned his back against the house. “Aya…”
Allen looked worriedly from the door back to the other male. Ryo didn’t seem as upset as he thought the man would be. Ryo only stared at the slammed door with a slightly sad expression on his face. Allen set his cup down gently next to the other two.
“Lavi is attached to Aya.” He mumbled causing Ryo to finally look back at him. “When she was first brought to the Order the two of us had found her.” Allen smiled fondly at the thought, she was so stubborn. “She didn’t want to come with us at first.” Ryo stiffened ready to deny them access to the girl. “But she seemed to connect with him, he calmed her and made her realized that it was probably the best place for her.” Ryo was still a little stiff but relaxed some. “She was injured on a mission with me, her first mission, then we were attacked by numerous Akuma, help was on the way but it wasn’t coming fast enough.” Allen twined his hands together on his lap, his knuckles turning white from their hold. “Aya and I were separated, we looked all over for her but we couldn’t find her. We only found her weapon.” Allen glanced back towards the door Ryo following his gaze. “Lavi barely lets it leave his sight.”
Ryo remembered the red pole Lavi delicately held onto earlier that day and for some reason knew it was the girls. He looked back at Allen before standing and collecting his cup to put in the sink. “It’s her choice to go or stay.” He whispered before leaving the white haired boy to himself.
The young girl fell to her knees. Her tear stained face looked down to the two foot red pole that she had dropped before her. Yet her eyes didn’t even see it, they were too focused on the blood smeared across her own two hands. The destruction around her went unacknowledged as her hands began to shake and a soul searing scream left her small body. “Mama!!”
She rolled into a small ball in the corner, shaking and staring at the object she had just used to kill the horrible monster, to kill her mother. Her eyes were glazed over and her mind was blank. She felt fear rush through her as she reached out and grabbed the red pole. Her tiny blood stained hand gripped the cold metal before pulling it to her chest. “Papa…” She whispered with tears in her eyes.
She felt so cold, so alone. Her tiny fingers trembled, her knuckles pure white from the hold on her new protector. She let her eyes close, praying for someone to come save her, someone to help her. Praying for all of it to end. Suddenly she felt something warm on her cheek, yet she refused to open her eyes in fear of loosing the warmth. It spread down her neck and filled her whole body. Two warm objects wrapped themselves around her hands, a smooth sound filled her ears, and for the first time her tiny dream self felt safe. For the first time in a long time, the girl slept without a single nightmare cursing her dreams.
Lavi quietly opened the door to the girls room and peeked in. He saw her eyebrows frowning and small mew of pain left her lips. Quickly he stepped into the room and was by her side. He pulled a chair over and sat by her bed. His eyes widened as he watched the tear roll down her cheek from her closed eye.
“Aya…” He whispered, reaching out and running his knuckles down her cheek, wiping the tear away. “It’s okay.” He kept the same low caring tone. Finally removing his hand from her now dry cheek he took her hand into his two. “I found you.” He squeezed gently before simply holding her hand while she slept. “I’ll bring you home.” Her face seemed to soften and she rolled to her side facing him. He smiled down at her, holding in a chuckle as she pulled his hand up to her face and snuggling into it. He was almost completely pulled into the bed as the girl growled angrily at his uncooperative arm.
Finally letting a chuckle leave him he sat at the head of the bed with his back against the head board. He sighed comfortably as she wrapped herself around his body, snuggling into him like he was a huge teddy bear. With his free hand he gently pet her head, her fever was slowly subsiding and he was happy she wasn’t too ill. “You sure know how to scare the shit out of a guy, don’t you.” The girl grumbled as if she had heard him. Chuckling again he finally closed his eyes.
That night Lavi slept his first peaceful sleep in over three months.
Allen peeked through the slightly ajar door. He didn’t know if he should grin or frown at the scene. ‘Did Aya really not remember anything? Or was her mind just trying to register everything back into order? What if she never remembered? Would she come back with them?’ He stood up straight and took a few steps back to the couch. Figuring he should get at least a little bit of sleep he laid on his back, with his hands behind his head. It bothered Allen to think she’d never remember them because in his mind if that were true then their ‘Aya’ was truly gone.
Ryo sat up on his bed thinking about everything that had happened that day. He had said it was Miyu's choice if she wanted to go back but he still wondered if he should let them take her. ‘It doesn’t seem safe, what they do. Can she really fight like that? Will she be okay? Was it something that happened at the Order that had scared her so much?’ His mind was filled with questions and little to no answers. The biggest of them all, ‘would I really be able to just let her go?’ Flopping back into his bed the older man sighed, the stress from the day finally causing him to fall into the world of dreams.
The girl groaned as the sun filtered through the window right into her eyes. She turned her head and buried it into her warm pillow, efficiently blocking the sun from it’s evil doings. Her hand held tightly to the pillow cover as she titter totted in the realm between sleeping and waking. Suddenly her pillow shifted causing her to growl at it to stop. Then her pillow began to wiggle and it was laughing lightly at her. Pouting as her sleep filled mind thought of ways to get revenge for her pillows traitorous act of disobeying her.
Then finally after a few failed plans ran through her head a very logical thought came about. ‘Pillows are inanimate objects.’ She opened a blurry sleep filled eye and peeked up at her ‘pillow’. Groaning when the sun hit her eye she resisted the urge to hide again. As her vision cleared and she could finally see she froze at what she saw.
Lavi couldn’t help but chuckle when the girl in his arms growled at him. It was utterly the most adorable thing he’d ever seen. Equal only to her snuggling up to him and holding on for dear life. He allowed her hand to scrunch up his shirt a death grip and had a small smile on his face as he watched her slowly wake up. When her tired red eye stared up at him he simply stared back.
She was practically laying on him. Her head resting on his chest, her left arm across his stomach, her hand holding onto his shirt. Her leg thrown over his, lightly twisted around it. His left arm was wrapped around her, its hand laying unintentionally on her hip close to her butt. His right arm causally pulled up behind his head and he was watching her.
When she didn’t say anything he tilted his head, bringing his right hand down and pushing a few strands of hair out of her face. “Good morning…” He muttered before letting his fingers dance over her left hand, which still held onto his shirt.
The girl felt her eyes closing again, oddly comfortable in the arms of the male she didn’t know. “I’m tired….” She whispered back before letting herself fall back into a light sleep. Lavi only nodded as he allowed her fall back into her dreams. He’d stay there as long as she wanted him too, even if his whole body went numb. His left hand idly rubbed her hip as he made himself comfortable. Well, as comfortable as one can get when they were being used as a human body pillow.
After about twenty minutes something in the girls mind finally clicked. Without warning she tried to jump out of the bed. But the blankets were against her and caused her to ungracefully fall into a heap on the floor. Lavi was up in seconds and around to the other side of the bed. He chuckled before crouching down next to her.
“You alright Aya?” He asked amusement dancing at the end of his tone.
The girl pouted and glared at him. Her eyes held no anger though, more like confusion. Honesty, any other time he would have thought the picture she painted at the moment was beyond cute. But Lavi realized she was wondering why he called her that name and it almost made him frown. He stood and held out his hand to help her to her feet. “I’ll help ya up.” He said, trying to stop the choking sound in his throat. “I’m Lavi.” He hated this, did he really have to start over with her? Was everything really gone.
Miyu stared at the boy for a few more minutes before slowly taking his hand and letting him help her up. She grimaced when she stood, holding her head. Lavi quickly held her shoulders to make sure she didn’t fall to the ground. “Are you okay?” He asked worriedly, the girl seemed to not hear him.
“You are pretty clumsy for being an exorcist.” A male chuckled at her as she pouted.
“It’s the floors fault! It should have moved when it noticed I didn’t realize there was a step!” She reasoned as if I was common sense. She saw a hand come out to her, being held out to help her up.
“It’s okay, I’ll make sure ya don’t do anything that would hurt too much.” The male voice said sincerely. “No matter how many times ya fall. I’ll help ya up.” The voice was calmly warming.
The girl took the hand and felt herself blush when he gave hers own a reassuring squeeze.
Miyu opened her eyes only to end up staring at three concerned faces. She glanced between the three, Ryo, the red head she’d woken up with, ‘Lavi right?’, and a white haired boy with an odd tattoo on his face. She saw Ryo's mouth moving but she was still too out of it to hear what he was saying. She only nodded in hopes that it would answer whatever he was asking. Her vision faded slightly as another pain shot through her head.
“Damn! You two get the hell back here!” She glanced back to see a dark haired boy with a sword running after them. His coat black with a bright pink trimming, where white was suppose to be. She giggled as she looked forward, following another boy as they ran through the hallways. “I’m going to kill you both!”
They shot around a corner and the girl panicked slightly when she lost sight of the other boy. Suddenly she felt someone grab her arm and pull her sideways. A hand carefully held over her mouth.
“Shhh, we’ll hide here for now.” She nodded and the hand fell from her mouth to wrap around her. Holding her body close to the boy behind hers as the two hid in the small cubby. She felt her cheeks heat up when she felt his warm breath traveling down the back of her neck. The arms around her body tightened pulling her back flush to the strong chest.
“I think…” She felt her heart triple its pace when she felt him give a questioning hmm against her ear. “I think he’s gone.” She felt him sigh and suddenly hated herself for stating the obvious. She missed the warm of him as he moved away and peeked out.
“Yeah…” He finally let go of her body letting his hands rest on her hips. “You’re right…”
Miyu opened her eyes, a blush on her cheeks and emotions she didn’t know how to describe beating in her chest.
“Are you alright Aya-chan?” The white haired boy asked her without thinking.
Lavi squatted in front of her as she sat in the bed. “Aya? Do you need to lay back down?” Miyu felt her face heat up further when she looked at the red head and she didn’t know why. The emotions running wildly in her body were confusing her and the boys were calling her a name that she, oddly enough, felt familiar with.
Quickly she stood, sending the squatting red head to his ass. “My names NOT AYA!” She screamed before running out of the room and then sprinting out of the front door into the dense forest that surrounded half of the house. After a few stunned minutes the three males took off after her. Once reaching the edge of the forest they all spared the others a glance before they took off in different directions. ‘She couldn’t have gotten far.’ Was on the three of their minds.
