Chapter Eight
Miyu ran and ran until her legs felt like they would fall off, and when they didn’t dislocate from her body she ran more. Tears streamed down her face in frustration and her head pounded as images of things she couldn’t place and didn’t understand flooded her mind.
“Aya-chan! I do not like Allen-kun!” A girl in pigtails demanded, but the blush on her face told that she was lying.
“Sure…” The girl poked the other in the cheek. “You always turn bright red when you talk to every male right?” The pigtail girl felt her face heat up more before pouting and stomping away.
Miyu came to a rest for a moment before she heard someone following her, so she started running again.
“Do you think Bookman will let you come train me for a little when you get back?” She asked hopefully to the small flying golem. The small black ball stayed quiet for a few moments before a cheery voice sounded through it.
“Sure! I can help ya no matter what Bookman says!” The male voice assured her before he said he had to get back to work.
“Yeah, see ya when you get back…” The girl mumbled sadly before the golem flew away.
Freezing Miyu felt her body collapsing and was waiting to feel the hard impact of the ground.
Lavi rushed through the forest, he was getting rather sick of the color green. And even more so this particular forest. Then he caught sight of another person and he sped up before he lost sight of her. He slowed when he saw her stop fearing she take off again. Then he saw her body loosen again and he ran over to catch her before she fell.
The girl felt arms wrap around her and a firm chest against her back. “Let me go…” She whimpered though her hands went to hold onto his arms around her waist.
“No…” He whispered into the back of her head. “You need to go back to the house, you’re still sick.” He felt her body give in and the two slowly fell to the forest floor. He kept his arms around her holding her securely against his chest. “Everything’s okay…”
She shook her head vigorously causing him to pull his own head away so he wasn’t whacked in the face. “No it’s not!” She sobbed holding tightly onto his arms. Lavi felt his heart stop at the painful cries racking her body. “Nothing is okay!” Her voice lowered slightly. “Aya…Miyu…I don’t know who I am.” Her voice finally coming out to a whisper. “I don’t understand what I’m remembering and I’m scared. Nothing is okay…”
Lavi took a deep breath, building up his thoughts before her leaned his chin on her shoulder. “It’s still okay.” She sniffled and lightly shook her head no, he tried to smile but couldn’t quite pull it off. “You’re name could be Aya or Miyu and it wouldn’t matter. You’d still be you. Even if you don’t remember us we will still care about you, we’d still accept you, and give you a home.”
“Really?” She didn’t dare look back at him but she couldn’t help but want to believe him. “Even if I don’t ever remember?”
He gently kissed her shoulder before leaning his forehead on it. “Of course. To me it doesn’t matter if we have to start over again.” He didn’t realize he went from saying us to me. Nor did he realize the way his voice sounded so relieved when he finished the next sentence. “I’m just happy I found you. I’ve missed you.”
The girl bit her lip as she felt those weird emotions fill her heart again. Her body felt warm, and it wasn’t just because of her slight fever. She wanted to remember where the feelings came from, how they started. All she knew was she wanted this boy to stay with her. It didn’t seem to matter if she was Miyu or Aya, as long as this boy didn’t leave her. The two sat there for a few more minutes before she wiped her face dry and glanced back at him. He still had his forehead resting on her shoulder and his arms locked around her waist.
He thought he felt her eyes on him and he peeked up. Seeing he was right he sat up and loosened his hold on her, just enough for her to turn and look at him better.
She smirked a little and sniffled a bit, her nose was stuffy from crying and being sick. “Do you know you kind of remind me of a pirate?” Lavi felt his heart speed up but also felt slight sadness at the déjà vu. He didn’t want to make her upset again by telling her she had already told him that.
So he only smiled his goofy smile back. “Hey! Why are you calling me a pirate?!” He playfully pouted, acting insulted.
She giggled which caused his eyes to soften and his arms to tightened their hold on her. “You got the whole pirate thing down! Though I suppose Lavi does fit better than Pirate-Guy.” Lavi froze and his body gave a small shiver. He looked down, his hair falling over his face. The girl thought she had upset him and panicked. “Sorry! I was just joking. I mean you do look like a pirate but it’s not a bad thing! I like pirates!”
Lavi chuckled and she finally saw the small smile on his lips. He shook his head and pulled her into a tight hug, “no, no I’m not upset!” He laughed out, holding onto her. ‘I never thought hearing someone say my name would make me this happy.’ The girl was a little confused but she held onto his shirt not minding him holding her in a bear hug. After a few minutes Lavi leaned back and froze. A small loving smile was on his face when he looked down at the girl in his arms.
She was holding onto his shirt and her lids were closed over her eyes. ‘She fell asleep.’ She chuckled light and shook his head. ‘Silly girl.’ He shifted as smoothly as possible and plucked her up off the cold dirty forest floor. “You’re going to get sicker if we stay out here.” He mumbled to the sleeping girl as he turned on heel and headed back to the house. On the way he leaned down and nuzzled the top of her head. Taking a deep breath and kissing her once in her hair he couldn’t keep the silly smile off his face. He hoped the two others were back at the house already because he had no intentions of leaving her to find them.
Only moments after he laid her down onto the bed Ryo came running back into the house. He glanced from the girl to the boy back to the girl. “She’s not hurt?” He asked as Lavi gently pulled the covers up over her body. Only seconds later Allen came into the room voicing the same question. The red headed boy shook his head but kept his eyes locked on the girl sleeping soundly before him.
“She still has a small fever but she should be alright.” He brushed some hair off of her face with his finger tips. Finally looking up he grinned his normal grin and rubbed his stomach. “I’m sorta hungry.” Allen nodded feverishly in agreement. He hadn’t eaten all day and he could feel his stomach about to protest to his foolishness.
Ryo let out a both troubled yet relief filled sigh. He turned and made his way to the kitchen. “I suppose I have to feed you two.” He muttered before starting up a quick breakfast/lunch for the four of them.
It was hunger pains that woke up Aya about two hour after Lavi had tucked her into bed. She couldn’t help but smile at the sight that met her when she woke up, even if her stomach was giving painful squeezes in demands for food.
Lavi was sitting in a chair facing her bed. His body slouched down, arms crossed over his chest, legs sprawled out before him and his chin resting against his chest. He was sleeping and a light snore sounded from his nose. She bit her lip and held in her giggles for fear of waking him. With careful steps she climbed out of the bed. She was almost out of the door when Ryo had walked past the door scaring the wits out of her.
Lavi jumped to his feet hearing Aya scream and scramble backwards into his chair. She held her hand to her chest in attempts to calm down her beating heart. “Sorry…sorry for waking you.” She whispered before glaring slightly at Ryo. The older man only snorted before dashing away from the girl. Lavi stretched a bit and shook his head, indicating that it was no problem. The girls stomach thought it a good time to announce its annoyance at being denied food for so long at that very moment.
Lavi glanced down at her stomach wide eyed by the noise it made. Smirking he looked back up at her. “Better get some food in you before the monster growls at us some more huh?” He was delighted at the blush that came to her cheeks. Chuckling he walked past her to leave the room. His fingers dancing down her arm, with barely there touches, causing her arm to break out in goose bumps. Then his bigger hand wrapped around her smaller one and he gently tugged her out of the room to follow him.
She stared at their linked hands the whole way to the kitchen. She wondered if hands were made to fit perfectly with another person. Because her tiny hand seemed to be made to be held in his bigger one. It made her happy to think that it was meant to be there, it made her blush when she looked up to see three pairs of eyes staring at her. Lavi gave her hand a squeeze before reluctantly letting it go so she could sit down and fill her empty belly.
She almost pouted when he let go until she realized why he did. Ryo sighed as he watched her and how she acted around the other red head. He knew that the male had special feelings for his little Miyu but he wasn’t sure if she had had feelings for him as well. Or if she did, would she remember? But it seemed that something didn’t change even if you forgot your past.
Later that night the four of them sat around the living room. Aya was trying to understand and take in everything she’d just been told. They had told her about the Order, the Akuma, how they had found her, about Kanda-Lenalee & Komui, and finally about how they had lost her. She looked at the thing they had called her Innocence, she had recognized it right away even if she didn’t know that that was what it was called. It was the object from her dream. The one that she had used to kill…to kill her mother.
Lavi handed her the red pole and she delicately took it. The moment she felt the cold metal under her hand her whole body seemed to relax, a sigh of complete relief flowed out of her and she had a look of bliss on her face. She felt like she had been given back a part of her soul. It made her feel like maybe, just maybe, everything Lavi had told her was right. Maybe everything was going to be okay.
“We’d like to take you back to head quarters.” Allen said suddenly, and Aya shot her eyes to him.
Okay, maybe everything wouldn’t be okay. She glanced at Ryo and he wouldn’t look at her. She bit her lip and refused to look at Lavi. Allen glanced at the three and sighed. “It’s not that we wish to rip you from everything you’ve come to know.” He reasoned. “It’s just that you don’t remember how to fight, you don’t remember your Innocence, or that you are an exorcist.”
Aya's eyebrows frowned, noticing her sudden turmoil Lavi reached over and gently tapped her nose. She pouted and looked up at his smiling face. “We’re worried more Akuma will come after you. And if you can’t defend yourself…” He didn’t finish the sentence because everyone in the room got the gist of what he was talking about. Lavi locked eyes with her and wouldn’t allow her to look away.
It was true that he wanted her to come back with them. Not only because he was worried she wouldn’t be able to protect herself but because he wanted her near. Wanted her somewhere he knew he could find her if he needed too. And he didn’t hide that fact when she searched his eyes for answers.
Aya had to look away from him when she felt overwhelmed with his gaze. Her face was covered in a light blush that only he seemed to know how put there. “Will I…” She glanced back at Ryo, the man who had saved her and took care of her all this time. “Will I be able to visit?” She didn’t want to cause him any trouble, and if Akuma were coming to attack all the time that would be causing trouble.
Allen and Lavi looked at each other and both decided it was best not to lie. Because exorcist had to cut themselves off from the world, they had to leave their families behind and dedicate their lives to the Order. Aya wouldn’t be able to visit really because they were normally kept too busy to go out and do that. She could come when she had free time but they rarely got any. And when they did it was normally spent resting. “Probably not for a long while. Like years.”
Ryo bit his tongue to keep from jumping to his feet and demanding the boys leave his house right then. He looked out the window to stop himself from grabbing the girl and running for high hills. Aya let out a confused whimper before glancing from Ryo to Allen to Lavi. She didn’t know what to do! Her poor mind was torn between what she had come to know with Ryo and what she had snapshots of memories with the two boys.
Finally after looking over to see a very confused, very upset young girl, Ryo sighed and smiled at her. “You should go with them.” All three youngsters looked at him in surprise. He suddenly got nervous with all eyes on him. “I mean, I want you here but I don’t want you to get hurt. If they say you were happy before, and they can help you relearn how to protect yourself.” He shrugged and kept his smile on his face. “It’s probably the best place for you to be.”
Aya jumped to her feet and swung her arms around the older males neck. Lavi felt jealousy raise its ugly head but fought it back down with a pointy stick. Ryo hugged her back tightly before letting her pull away.
“You can always come back here if you need too.” She nodded and bit her lip only allowing a few tears fall before clearing her face and turning to the two male exorcist.
Lavi smirked and Allen smiled happily. “So we leave in the morning.” She nodded and hugged her Innocence to her chest.
Ryo watched sadly as she went to her room for a good nights sleep, but he knew he was doing what was best. Allen went to get some air and Lavi turned to Ryo. “Thank you.” He whispered and Ryo was caught by surprise by the sincerity in the young boys voice.
Ryo nodded his head indicating he had heard and accepted what the boy said. He stood and turned to head to bed. “Make sure nothing happens to her.” He whispered back before disappearing from the room.
Lavi smiled as he leaned back in the chair letting his eyes close. “Wouldn’t dream of letting anything happen to her." He mumbled as he fell into a light sleep.
