~Nobody's POV!!!~ (I'm just trying this for a while, then I'll switch to 1st person)
The unconscious girl lay completely still as Hevaleska picked her up, examining her innocence.
"This girl's innocence… It's destroying her," she stated, her voice echoing in the darkened room.
"What? We can't afford to lose another exorcist! Not now!" another voice echoed.
"Isn't there anyway to save her?" a smaller voice asked.
"…yes. We can add another innocence to her heart in order to stabilize it. It would be painful but she would become more powerful than she was before and it would save her life," Hevaleska answered.
"Then we must proceed. Is there another innocence that she is compatible with?" a booming voice commanded.
"Yes. It is here," Hevaleska pulled out a small, glowing orb that sparkled as it drew closer to the girl. Hevaleska gently pressed the innocence into the girl's small chest. The girl flinched away from it, her screams filling the chamber.
"Stop! STOP HURTING ME! Help! Someone help stop the pain! HE-," she was cut off as the innocence slid into her body, merging her heart and already existent innocence with the new one. Her body went limp and Hevaleska reached up to touch the girl's forehead.
"18… 27… 39… 54… 73… 78… 87… 91… 90… 91… 90…" Hevaleska repeated the number out loud. "This girl's two innocence are fighting each other while trying to merge. Her syncro rate is flickering between 90 and 91 percent. It's higher than her single innocence's syncro rate of 83. That is all I can do for her now. She must rest until her body has settled and completely merged with each other."
"It's a good thing you brought her here, General. She would have died if she had remained at the Chinese Branch. Thank you," the booming voice spoke again.
"Komui. Have her taken to the infirmary immediately so that she may rest. She shall remain here so that we can observe her," another voice echoed.
"Of course. I shall take upstairs then," he replied. The elevator began to move as Hevaleska gently placed the unconscious girl onto the platform.
~2 Months Later~
"Agh! Stop pulling that bandage so tight! It's gonna cut off my circulation!" the girl yelled as the head nurse replaced her bandage.
"Kana Kazumaru, if you don't stop fidgeting this instant, I really will hurt you!" the head nurse cried, tightening the bandages around the girl's chest before tying a knot. "Here. You're being discharged but you must come back once a week for a check-up and don't forget to change your bandages every three days." The nurse instructed as she handed Kana her exorcist jacket, a loose fitting black shirt/hoodie that ended at just past her elbows, and some extra bandages. The girl sighed as she pulled on the shirt and jacket before stuffing the bandages into her pocket. She reached down and grabbed her slender flat-bottomed boots that ended at her knees and pulled them over her black skin-tight exorcist pants. She checked to make sure that all of her six earrings were still in place, three on each ear. She reached over and grabbed her two knives off the table and strapped them onto her hips. She turned back to face the mirror, examining herself. "Nurse, you forgot to bandage my arms and hands again." She stated removing her jacket and shirt once more and turning her back towards the nurse with her arms raised to shoulder height.
"Ah, forgive me, Kana, this will only take a minute," the nurse apologized and quickly began wrapping bandages around the girl's left shoulder and working her way down her arm, before finally weaving the bandages in between her fingers and tying the knot. She quickly completed the other arm, handing Kana her shirt and jacket.
"Thanks," Kana mumbled as she took the shirt and put it on, followed by the jacket. She turned around again to look at herself before grabbing a black cube, a little smaller than a rubix cube and stuffed it in her pocket. She grabbed a tattered red ribbon and tied her hair up in a low ponytail. She turned and began walking towards the door, the nurse calling after her. "Kana, don't forget to come back for check-ups and report directly to Chief Komui right away!"
Kana raised a hand, showing that she had heard and left the room, not even pausing to look back. She turned a corner and jogged up some stairs, pulling her hood over her black and red hair. She reached the top of the stairs and turned left before coming to a door which she opened. A man with glasses was sipping coffee, ignoring all of the paper scattered everywhere across the room. She stood in the doorway, her eyes wide, as she stared at the huge mess.
"Uhh… Chief Komui?" she asked, a little uncertain. The man looked up and stood, motioning for her to ignore the mess and come in. She shrugged and stepped forward, walking lightly, hardly rustling the paper as she crossed the room.
"Hey, I'm Kana Kazumaru, the transfer exorcist. I was told to come here once I was released from the hospital wing," she said, holding out her hand which he shook firmly.
"Yes, I'd just like to assign you to a room and have you meet a few people, that's all," he smiled at her. At the moment, a girl with long black pigtails walked in holding an empty tray.
"Brother, you really should get some work done. Reever and the others are getting tired of working overtime!" the girl scolded before catching sight of Kana. "Oh, hi! I'm Lenalee Lee, and this is my brother, Komui Lee. You must be the transfer, am I right?"
"You can call me Kana. Nice to meet you," Kana smiled and shook the girl's hand. Kana was a little taller than Lenalee, only by a few inches.
"Anyway, Lenalee, could you please show Kana-san around the place a little?" Komui asked. Lenalee nodded and told Kana to follow her.
"So, you're the new exorcist that came here? That's great! I'm sure you'll get along with everyone! Be careful around Kanda-san, though. He's a little antisocial," Lenalee rambled on as they walked. Kana nodded to acknowledge that she had heard her as she pointed out things. Finally, Lenalee took her to her new room.
"So call me if you need anything, alright? I'm two floors down. Are you sure you'll be ok getting to the office and the cafeteria?" She asked once again.
"Yeah, Lenalee, I'll be fine. Do you have a library here?" Kana asked. Lenalee nodded and gave her directions before running back down the hallway. Kana sighed, tired from Lenalee's non-stop talking be smiled at her friendly attitude. She turned and kicked her door open, walking in and flopping down onto the bed, the door swinging shut automatically. She lay there for a few seconds before getting bored of staring at the plain ceiling. She jumped up, suddenly remembering something and began attacking her bag, throwing things across the room in search of something. Finally, she pulled out two hard cover books, one white, and the other black. The black had white paint splattered across the cover and the white had red splattered over its cover. She sighed in relief and placed them on the desk that sat by the stained glass window. She returned back to the bag and pulled out a stack of paper, all of them covered in drawings, sketches, paintings, etc. that she didn't consider good enough to be put into her sketch books. She placed those pages on her desk as well. She also pulled out a long, black sword which she placed on the top of her dresser. She opened several drawers and flung clothes into them, not really caring where they went. She'd find them later, anyway. She stood up as her stomach growled at her and headed to the door, slamming it behind her as she left for the cafeteria. She reached into her pocket and pulled out the small black cube which she stared at idly before a determined look crossed her face. She stopped and glared at the cube, fixing her blood-red eyes on it. She then squeezed the metal looking cube between her thumb and forefinger. In an instant, it flattened and as she released it, it began to round the corners, becoming circular, a little wider than a quarter. Its surface was completely smooth and black and she began to toss the coin in the air, resuming her walk in search for the cafeteria.
~Kana's POV!~ (sorry I couldn't stand doing 3rd POV anymore. It annoys me GREATLY)
I whistled a little tune, flipping and catching the coin as I walked down the hall, receiving a few surprised and wondering stares. I lifted my arms up and rested them behind my head, continuing to walk down the hall.
After about half an hour of walking around aimlessly looking for the cafeteria and getting hopelessly lost, I finally found someone I could ask for directions.
'I can't believe I'm actually lost! This is soooooooooo not cool! Whatever… I'll just ask that girl over there,' I thought.
"Hey, you! Where's the cafeteria?" I called to a tall figure with long dark blue hair that carried a long sword. And instant later, my knife clashed with the figure's sword, inches away from my surprised face.
'What the hell??? She's a GUY???' I thought, shocked.
"Who told you? WHO told you my first name??? Was it General Tiedol or that baka usagi??? I'll rip anyone to shreds for calling me by my first name!" the boy yelled, glowering at me angrily. (A/N: oh I wonder who it could possibly be)
"Usagi? No… I just came here from the Chinese Branch. And I didn't call you by your first name, baka! I just asked you where the hell the stupid cafeteria was!" I shouted back glaring at him. He flinched slightly before withdrawing his sword and making a "Che" noise.
"I'm not a baka, gaki. The cafeteria is just down the hallway," he muttered before turning back around and storming down the hallway.
"Gaki??? You're calling me a BRAT??? I'm eighteen, damnit! I'm probably older than you, baka!" I yelled angrily, storming after him into the cafeteria. He turned to glare at me and sparks flew. Silence fell upon us and we sped walked towards Jerry to order before the other. Kanda won and quickly ordered his soba before leaving. I huffed angrily to myself.
'Stupid, girly, baka man!' I snarled in my head.
"What can I get you?" Jerry, the cook asked.
"Ummm… What do ya have?" I asked.
"We can make you anything you want to eat!" he replied proudly. I smiled.
"Then I'll have chicken ramen, green tea, beef yakisoba, a side of coffee mochi, and a glass of coconut juice with the pulp. Oh, and a bowl of miso soup, please!" I smiled again as the cook gave me a surprised look. It took a few minutes but I finally got all of me food onto the tray and walked over towards Kanda. I placed me food onto the table and sat down across from him. He didn't look at me and I didn't look at him. They sat in silence, eating quietly. I drained my glass of coconut juice and stood up at the same time as Kanda. We glared at each other for a moment before Kanda walked over to the garbage, dumping his tray and leaving the room. I stuck out my tongue at him before following his example. I had just dumped my tray when I heard a familiar voice calling me from across the room. I turned and saw Lenalee waving at me, motioning for me to come to the table.
"Kana! Come here! I want you to meet some friends of mine!" she called. I nodded and smiled before walking over.
"Hey, Lenalee. Sup?" I asked as I approached.
"I wanted you to meet one of my friends! Allen, this is Kana," Lenalee introduced me to a short boy, with white hair and silver eyes.
'He's probably a few years younger than me.'
"Hello, my name is Allen Walker. It's nice to meet you," Allen said, his white hair swishing around his face as he shook my hand.
"Nice to meet ya. You can call me Kana," I replied, smiling. "Um, Lenalee? Who was mister 'I have a serious wedgy up my ass' with the sword?"
Allen burst out laughing and Lenalee giggled at my comment.
"That's Kanda," she replied, still giggling.
"Why do you ask?" Allen wondered.
I shrugged before making a face. "I asked him for directions and the next thing I knew he was trying to chop of my head and calling me a brat! Asshole…" I mumbled, pouting silently. They laughed and smiled at me. I heard a crackling noise in the corner and already knew what was coming.
"Hey guys I'm gonna go back to my room. I'll see you later, ok?" I said before jogging out of the room. I ran down the hall and up the stairs until I finally got to Komui's office, all the while listening to Komui's voice echoing throughout the hallway calling, "Kana Kazumaru, please report to my office." I opened the door just as he finished the message and walked in.
He blinked, and said, "Wow, what are you, psychic?"
I laughed before replying. "No, it's part of one of my innocences. It's connected to my mind and enhances my five senses as well as balance, flexibility, memory, etc. My other one is my life force. It's the one that controls my emotions and the power to bend and alter this cube into anything I want," I continued solemnly. "Without it, I'd be out like that." I snapped my fingers.
"Ah, so that's what it is," he said sadly. "I'm afraid we'll have to do a few tests on you and your innocence." I nodded and smiled understandingly.
"It's alright. I understand. I'm the only one of my kind so it only makes sense." He nodded.
"Well, we might as well go to the lab and get this over with in the lab," he said and led the way downstairs. I sat down in the chair and he strapped me down before pulling out a drill and grinning evil.
"Wh-what are you gonna do with that?" I squeaked as he approached me.
"Just kidding! I just need to draw some blood," he said, throwing the drill over his shoulder and pulling out a tiny needle.
I yawned as I walked down the hallway. It was around eleven at night but I couldn't fall asleep. I had finally given up on trying and had decided to go to the library. The huge wooden doors creaked open slowly and I walked in. The dim lights that burnt along the walls flickered ominously, the air so thick with silence I could almost feel it. I searched the shelves and grabbed all of the books that looked interesting. In the end, I was holding a stack of seven books and I couldn't even see over the top, not that I was awake enough to care whether I could see anything or not. Suddenly, I bumped into something as there was a loud bang as books fell to the floor.
"Ita…" I mumbled, rubbing my head. I looked up and say a boy about my age, rubbing his forehead. He looked up and our eyes met. Well, my eyes met his eye. The tall red head smiled crookedly at me.
"Sorry, I didn't think anyone else would be up this late so I wasn't looking where I was going," he explained, picking up his books.
I laughed. "Wow, great minds think alike! I was thinking the exact same thing!" He smiled and held out his hand.
"The name's Lavi. Nice ta meet ya," he said rubbing the back of his neck.
"I'm Kana Kazumaru, the transfer exorcist," I said shaking his hand.
"Do you go by Kana or are you all formal?" he asked.
'Wow, he's the first one to actually ask me.'
"It doesn't really matter what you call me," I shrugged, beginning to pick up my books as well.
"Hmmm… Then I'll call you K-chan!" he smiled happily. He helped me pick up my books and we headed over to a table, setting down our books.
"You sure read a lot, Lavi-san," I said, staring at all the books he had been holding as he plopped down into a chair.
"No need to be so formal, K-chan! You can call me just call me Lavi. And I read a lot because I'm a Bookman in training. I have to read in order to obtain information," he replied smiling.
"Oh, I've heard of Bookmen. They record the untold history of the world, right?" I asked. He seemed surprised that I actually knew what a bookman was.
"Yeah… how'd you know?" he asked.
"Well… when I was little, a man, I'm assuming that he was a bookman, took me in when my parents were… killed. He traveled with me and told me that he wanted to train me to record the untold history of the world. He wanted me to become his apprentice. But then we were attacked by akuma and he abandoned me. I raised myself until I was found by one of the generals and taken to the Chinese Branch," I explained, kicking my leg over the arm of the chair and resting my head in my hand that was propped on the other arm.
"I guess we have something in common, then," he smirked. I chuckled quietly.
"Yeah… I guess we do," I replied.
