Bwahaha! It's the team up you never thought of! Nellchan and Lonely Fantasy! Oh my gosh what the heck's going on in the world? Nothing good, I can tell you that.....hmmm we just thought it'd be fun to write an OC story, so here it is!

Disclaimer: We wouldn't share Lavi and Kanda because we love them too much, so of course we're aren't Hoshino.

"So, you just got back from your mission? Why didn't you stay for the night?" Kaiyo grinned, falling into step with Alex. Alex looked ready to drop dead on the floor, seeing as it was two in the morning at the moment. Everyone else in the Order was asleep.

Alex yawned, shifting the staff on her back, causing the six rings to strike each other and make a noise. "One, Bookman made it clear that I had to be back by today. Do you know how much work I have?" She shuddered at the thought of her in-box. "Second, I don't think I could last another day watching over two pieces of Innocence. What's your excuse?"

"Do I have any other excuse besides Tristan calling me up to work on some inane project?" She shrugged, ice blue eyes looking extremely guilty.. "Aaaand maybe I just so happened to snag a demo of FF XIII..." She scratched her cheek, giving Alex a sheepish grin. "You know me. New video game, had to break it in. And it was a Final Fantasy game!"

"Uh-huh. I thought the game wasn't supposed to come out until 2010?" Recalled Alex, pushing open the door leading to the corridor before Tristan's office. "Didn't Square Enix decide to push it back for some reason or another?"

Kaiyo glared at her, crossing her arms over her chest. "Well, thanks for killing me more, Alex. Yes, it was pushed back, thank you very much." She intensified her glare, as the other had her hand on the handle to Tristan's office.

"Continue."

"But, and this is a huge but." Kaiyo reminded, "I happen to know someone working on FF and said person happened to snag me a demo. Happy now?" She smirked, following Alex into the office.

"What are you guys fighting over now?" Tristan grumbled, dark brown hair a mess as he looked up from his Styrofoam littered desk. "Watch out for the tape. I wouldn't want you guys to trip and fall into that vortex thing."

"Kaiyo." Coughed Alex, skirting around the bright yellow police tape and placing the Innocence on Tristan's desk. "Man, you look like a mess. Didn't we tell you not to drink too much coffee?" She teased, holding up one of the empty Styrofoam cups before throwing it in the trash can next to his desk.

"Hey! I will not trip!" Kaiyo protested, pouting. "Give me more credit than that. I'm not completely- don't ignore me with your iPod Ms. Bookman in Training!" She frowned, sticking her tongue out when Alex replied with a smug smile.

"Could you guys really not act like two year olds?" Sighed Tristan, pinching the bridge of his nose.

"I'm not acting like one. Kai? Not so sure." Alex chuckled, flopping down on the black leather couch against the left wall, propping her staff so it leaned on the arm of the couch. "She's just jealous that I happened to turn eighteen last week and that she's still seventeen."

"Oh, you so wish!" Kaiyo snorted. "At least I'm not blind from spending way too much time on the computer!" She countered, tossing a Styrofoam cup at Alex. "What do you need Tris? I was really getting into my game."

Tristan gave Kaiyo and incredulous look as the Head of Science took a seat next to Alex. "Do you honestly not see that?" He gestured vaguely towards the glowing rip in space that was in the middle of the room. "Did the bright yellow tape not catch your attention?"

"I get it now!" Alex laughed. "And all along I thought it was some screw up of Kai's."

"Is today 'make Kaiyo feel bad so she'll hole herself up in her room' day?" She deadpanned in reply, playfully punching Alex in the shoulder. "Or is it 'make Kaiyo so mad that she'll break Alex's iPod so the Bookman in training will have to learn to shut up'?"

Alex raised an eyebrow, tucking her iPod in her right jacket pocket, shifting away from Kaiyo. "Why don't you go check that thing out or whatever so we can both, that is Tristan and I, can get some sleep? Obviously, you're going to be playing your game, but some of us are actually normal and need eight hours of rest."

"Well, fine!" Kaiyo grumbled, ducking under the police tape. "Someone definitely needs their eight hours. Why else would you be so cranky? Unless you're on your-"

Alex threw a small square couch pillow in Kaiyo's face to shut her up. "Not even, Kai, not even. Hurry up before I decide to ditch you."

"Ouch, you didn't have to throw so hard. I wasn't serious." She paused, rubbing the back of her head, thinking it over. "I take that back, I was serious. Don't throw another pillow!" She held up her hands in defense. "I wanna get out of here as much as you."

"Great to know." A long yawn escaped her. "Let's go, Kai. I'm going to die if I have to read all my mail this tired." She rubbed her amber eyes sleepily, tempted to curl up on the couch and drift off.

"This vortex..." Kaiyo murmured, eyes scrunched in concentration. "Al, get over here, take a look at this. You know what I think this is?" She stuck a hand in the rip, the effect causing a suction noise. "It's a-" but her sentence was cut off for the vortex suddenly started dragging the rest of her in.

"Kai!" Alex and Tristan exclaimed, eyes growing wide as their bodies were jump-started awake.

Alex grabbed her Innocence subconsciously, jumping over the tape. Before Kaiyo disappeared, she managed to grab onto her hand, trying fruitlessly to pull her back. Every time Alex yanked, the vortex yanked harder until both of them were swallowed up.

OH blah, that was a crappy end to the first chapter. ah well, props to whoever figures out what anachronism means without using a dictionary or the internet. Leave us a review and maybe we'll update. Maybe. But while you're here, read Zero Tolerance by LonelyFantasyXIII.
