Chapter 1

New Meetings

A piece of paper flew through the wind like a bird before settling on the ground. A rustling noise sounded as a young girl with long dark hair and eyes and beautiful light tan skin landed on the ground from up in a tree.

"Damn. I dropped it again." Her voice sounded throughout the area as she walked toward what she had dropped. The girl picked up the paper and turned it over revealing an old faded photo of three people: two children and a man. The girl smiled and was about to put the photo in pocket when a loud noise came from the small town ahead.

"It can't be! I swore I already checked everywhere!" The girl ran toward the town irritated by her own carelessness. She immediately ran from the forest and into the loud streets passing the screaming people running the opposite direction until she finally reached the source of the noise...

"Akuma! Damn it! How many are there? Huh?" A loud shout followed by some fighting sounds rang in the street like a loud bell and smoke was everywhere. The girl coughed as she climbed a tall tree to get onto the roof of a nearby building so she could look around and try to figure where it came from. She made sure she was hidden from the akumas' view while searching.

"Who is over there?" The smoke surrounding the scene slowly cleared away like a cloud floating through the sky. Before she could take a look at the person-or people-who were below, a figure in black shot high into the air attacking the akuma just above with-what looked like a hammer. The person landed the roof of the building next to hers.

The figure was a young handsome boy. He had longish red hair with a headband and whore an eye patch over his right eye along with an orange scarf around his neck. The girl smirked when she noticed a certain symbol on his long black coat that completed the rest of his outfit.

'That symbol... It belongs to the Black Order... I see…' She smiled, 'So this boy... He's an Exorcist... Interesting…' The curious girl decided to watch for a little longer, wanting to know if he was alone and what he was doing here-surely exorcists have more important things to take care of...

The boy smiled and the black hammer that he used to attack the akuma shrank in hand before then he put it away. A shout came from below; it was a girl's voice. 'So he isn't alone...' The girl continued to watch while hiding in the shadows.

Another figure appeared and landed next to the boy. The person was a young teenage girl wearing a similar black outfit that the boy was wearing with the same symbol; the only difference was that she had a skirt. She had long dark emerald hair put up in pigtails and wore black boots. The girl was also an Exorcist according to what she was wearing. The Exorcist girl walked up to the boy, smiling.

"That's the last of them! Nice work, Lavi!" The girl smiled again before continuing, "We should get back to the others and find out why so many akuma showed up at this small town."

Lavi nodded and smiled. "Got it, Lenalee. But afterwards, I'm taking a nap!"

Lenalee giggled before nodding and continued talking with Lavi when something landed by Lavi's foot...

The girl's old faded photo flew out of her hand and landed by Lavi's feet! 'Dang! I forgot to put that in my pocket! Now I have to get it back!' The girl jumped over the small distance that separated the two buildings and ran over to Lavi and Lenalee.

Lavi bent over to pick up the paper when he noticed a beautiful young teenage girl running toward him. "Strike! She's so pretty! And she is just my type too!" Lavi's eyes shined as the girl got closer and Lenalee simply rolled her eyes.

"Excuse me Exorcists..." The girl was panting after running so fast so she took a breath before finishing. "Can I have that back please?" She pointed to the photo that Lavi held in his hands.

Lavi looked at the paper and turned it over noticing the picture of the people. "Is this your family? Here..." Lavi grasped the girl's soft hands and gently placed the old photo in it.

The girl gave a small gentle and loving smile. "Yea. Something likes that..." She held the photo close to her chest before putting it safe inside her pocket. "Thank you." She smiled again.

Lavi leaned close to her. "You have a beautiful smile. Did anyone ever tell you that?"

The young girl blushed and took a step back. "T-thank you... um... Might I ask what your names are?"

Lenalee laughed and pulled Lavi back. "Forgive our rudeness! My name Lenalee Lee and this strange guy here is Lavi!" The dark greenish black haired girl smiled.

"Hey! What do exactly you mean by strange?"

"Exactly what I said! You're strange!"

"I heard but what is that supposed to mean?"

"How can you NOT be strange? You hit on a girl you don't even know!"

"Well that's not anything new!"

Lenalee was just about to reply when they were interrupted by a certain girl bursting into laughter. They looked over to see the teenage girl cracking up laughing.

"Ummm? Are you okay?" Lenalee asked walking next to the girl.

The girl calmed down before speaking. "Yeah. I'm okay. You guy are so hilarious! It's nice to meet you!" The girl reached her hand out and Lenalee politely shook it.

"Lenalee! As much as I hate to, we have to get back to the others!" Lavi walked over to the girl grabbed her hand and kissed the back of it. "Have a nice day!" Lavi and Lenalee started to walk away when the girl stopped them.

"Hold on! I want you to take me with you!" The girl said blushing from when Lavi kissed the back of her hand.

There was a long silent pause...

"HUH?"

Lenalee and Lavi stared at the blushing girl confused and shocked...

"Why do you want to come with us? You are aware that we're Exorcists, so why?" Lenalee asked the girl while Lavi still had a shocked look on his face.

The girl smiled and held up three fingers. Lavi and Lenalee looked at her confused all over again.

"Three?"

The young girl nodded. "That's right. Three reasons: First reason is because I want to do something about the akuma. Second reason is that I want to help save people. Third reason is that I know that going to the Black Order will help me find someone that I have been looking for, for a long time now." She smiled confidently.

Lavi blushed. "She's so cute! Can we take her? Please Lenalee?" Lavi asked, or rather, begged his female Exorcist friend.

"Well... I don't know... We can ask Brother when we get back. He is the one that can let you join. Not me." Lenalee said turning away. "We better be heading back so you can come with us if you really want to."

Lavi nodded. Then he pulled out his hammer and held out his other hand. "I will help you down, Miss. By the way, what's your name?"

The girl smiled and took his hand. They went high in the air on his giant extended hammer. "My name? Well it's…

A harsh ominous wind gusted between preventing the young girl to finish. The air calmed itself once more as she finally announced her name.
