Chapter one.
~In Botomta, Spain~
A girl, age 17, walked into the small town of Botomta. She was wearing a long black dress. It had a simple design. The pure black color of the dress brought out the girls pale completion all the more. Her long, straight red hair was left lose to her shoulders, outlining her face. Her lips were a pale pink firmly placed in a displeased frown. Her blue eyes, cold and annoyed, took in everything around her.
Her frown deepened as she looked around. The people walking by were pointing her out and giving her strange looks. They were talking about her like she couldn't understand them.
The girl's hand clenched around a sliver locket that hung loosely around her neck. She hated going into towns. They were too noisy and crowed for her liking. On top of that, most of the time she entered a city or town it would end with her fighting against some akuma.
That's right, she's was an accommodator. One of every few people in the world who could use Innocence, the "Weapon of God", as many called it. The power to destroy the akuma and Noahs.
'God? Tch.' The girl thought as she rolled her eyes. 'Those fools say we're blessed with the power of God. That's all they are, fools. They have no clue what they're talking about.' The girl let out and inaudible growl as she walked. She had her own reasons to hate both Innocence and God.
Finally she found what she was looking for. She speed up, headed straight for the fruit stand.
"Hello Miss." The fruit stand man said in heavily accented English with a smile.
The girl nodded her head in response. "I need ten apples, please." She said in Spanish as she pulled out what little money she had.
The man looked at her in surprise but got her the ten apples. He put them in a bag and told her the price. She quickly paid and took the apples fully content to be on her way.
"Wait! Miss!" The man called from behind her.
The girl looked back, with annoyance clear in her expression. "Yes?" She asked as politely as possible.
"You should watch out if you're traveling. Everyone who's gone into the forest lately has disappeared." The man said pointing at the forest she was just about to head through.
"I'm not worried. I can take care of myself." The girl responded before walking away.
The man gave a small sigh and shook his head. "Can't say I didn't warn her." The man said under his breath.
Once she got to where the town turned gradually to forest, the girl walked behind a huge thick bush and pulled out a messenger bag and katana that was well hidden in it. She then pulled out a black dress shirt and black slacks. She pulled off the dress, hidden from sight by the bush, and replaced it with the shirt and slacks. After straightening everything out she reached down and picked up the katana, which had a blood red hilt and black sheath, and carefully strapped it to her side. Then she put the apples in the messenger bag and the bags strap over her shoulder.
She let out an annoyed sigh. Not only had she been forced to go into the town to get food, now it seemed that she was going to have to destroy some akuma so she could continue on her way. Even if she liked fighting sometimes it was nice to have a break.
She began walking. As she got deeper into the forest she sensed the evil presence, it sent a shiver down her spine. It was much stronger than any level one she'd come across.
It was minutes later that she noticed a strange man.
He looked a grayish color in the shadows of the trees. He was somewhere around 6'2". His long silver hair reached to the middle of his back. He was wearing a crisp black suit, one that didn't look too expensive but still too much for any commoner to buy. He was defiantly a noble.
The girl hid herself as soon as she saw him. 'What the hell's this idiot doing out here?' She thought. 'And without a bodyguard no less…. Not that a bodyguard could do much to stop an akuma.' The girl thought as she watched the noble with curiosity and set her bag down carefully so she didn't make any noise.
The noble took a few steps forward heading to go off the path. Seconds after he did so, four level one akuma appeared around him.
'Dame it!' The girl cursed her luck. Not only did she have to fight now but she had to save some damn noble.
Just as she was about to step out to attack the akuma surrounding the noble a level two appeared.
"What can I do for you Noah-sama?" The akuma asked as it bowed. It looked like an oversized wolf.
The girl's eyes widened. 'Impossible!' She thought as she carefully made her way, out of sight to a spot so she could see the man's face. And just as she did so she saw the one thing she didn't want to see. The black cross tattoos running across the man's forehead. She looked down expecting to see yellow-gold eyes only to find a black blindfold.
That puzzled and distracted her long enough for a level one akuma to sneak behind her.
She, seconds later, sensed the presence behind her. Immediately she activated her Innocence, making it form a dagger in her hand. She quickly threw the dagger hitting the akuma square in the face.
An explosion followed forcing the girl to jump back onto the path, in view of the Noah and akuma, to avoid being injured by the blast.
The Noah turned his head to look at the girl. "My. My. An exorcist." The Noah said a terrifying smirk gracing his features.
It sent a shiver down the girl's spine. 'No! I can't be scared now! I've been training for too long to let a stupid Noah scare me!' She assured herself. Her innocence took the form of a sword which she pointed at the Noah and akuma. "Who the hell are you?" She hissed.
It was at that moment that akuma attacked.
"Phh." The girl rolled her eyes as she raised her innocence, which then took the form of a whip. She sent the whip forward. It sliced through the akuma making them explode as well.
The Noah evaded her attack though. As he watched the girl's movements his smirk grew.
"My name is Haruko Anstice and you are?" Haruko asked confidently.
The girl looked at him suspiciously. "Yuki." Yuki responded coldly with a glare.
"Well, Miss Yuki, I don't usually like to kill women but I'm afraid you're going to have to die." A smug smile covered Haruko's face as he said these words.
"Good luck." Yuki said as she threw her Innocence into the air. It took the form of about 50 daggers which were sent straight at the Noah.
Haruko only smirked, not moving an inch. The daggers hit him and that sent dust springing upward. When the dust cleared Yuki was greeted with the sight of the Noah still standing. The only response she'd gotten from the Noah was his skin turning a black color with a few cracks, like it was a rock of some sort.
Yuki's eyes widened at first then narrowed at the Noah. She let out a growl. 'It didn't affect him at all.' The thought to herself. That didn't really come to a surprise to her though. She knew the Noahs were a hell a lot stronger than any akuma.
"My turn." Haruko said as he pulled out a katana.
'How could I have missed that?!' Yuki thought while keeping her composure. It didn't matter anyway; she preferred to use her own katana.
Haruko jumped at her, blade first. Yuki quickly drew her katana and blocked him moving to the side.
'He isn't all that fast.' Yuki smirked. 'He definitely not fast enough to beat me.'
Both of them jumped back. 'Somethings odd' Yuki thought as she noted the ever-present smirk on his face. It was then she remembered the level two.
"Shit!" Yuki spun around, sending her innocence through the black blade of her katana. As she'd guessed the akuma was right behind her so she attacked it.
Haruko took the chance to attack. Luckily Yuki was able to move to the right just enough to avoid any serious injuries but that didn't stop Haruko from piercing through her shoulder with his sword.
She bit her lip to keep from making any sound; it'd be a sign of weakness. She grabbed the end of the katana that pierced her shoulder and turned holding it in place to it didn't make the wound any bigger. She slashed at Haruko forcing him to let go of his katana.
He frowned in partial annoyance. "I've gotten what I wanted here so I'll bid you ado Miss Yuki." Haruko said as the door to the ark appeared behind him. He walked through it and it closed behind him before she could do anything to stop him.
"Damn it!!! I let him get away! Fuck!!" Yuki growled as she sheathed her katana with some difficulty. She looked at the katana stuck in her shoulder. "Fuck." Yuki groaned. She grabbed the tip of the katana with two fingers and pushed it back until if fell.
She looked over the wound. 'I have to get this treated soon or I'll die of fucking blood loss.' She thought to herself as she saw the blood gushing out of the wound. She put pressure on it and cursed a few more times. 'One of the people back in that town said something about a nearby town having a shrine or something. They'll treat me there for no charge.' Yukio walked back and grabbed her messenger bag. Today had been far worse than she anticipated. She had to go into a town just to get food and now she had to go to another damn town to ask for help. "I hate my life." She sighed as she jumped up to a branch and headed for the town.
~Zaragoza, Spain~
A woman, about 6 feet tall with long black hair that had blond highlights walked out of a train. She had one the exorcist coat with gold instead of the normal silver. Underneath the coat was a solid black Qipao. Her blue eyes scanned the area around her. She was followed by two men.
The first man to follow her out was 5'9". He had spiky brown hair and soft green eyes. He wore a normal exorcist uniform and had a pair of twin blades on his back. He was smiling as he looked around. His uniform was closed so you could only see the black pants he wore and the black boots.
Behind him was a man with short curly black hair. His brown eyes showed nothing but annoyance. He straightened the white short sleeve shirt under his exorcist coat which was open. His brown pants were wrinkled and his dark brown boots were half covered by his pants. His tan face was set into a scowl.
The three walked silently forward after grabbing their bags from the luggage car.
"Where the hell is the damn finder!" Snapped the curly haired man.
"Calm down, Felix." The woman said. "Yelling isn't going to help anything." She said a small smile gracing her features.
"Nonetheless. I'm sure the finder's getting something done to help us." The spiky brown haired guy said.
"Not everything is good, Ryuu. I wouldn't be surprised if the idiots dead." Felix stated as he looked over to the entrance to the train station.
"You shouldn't think so negatively, Felix-san." The woman said shaking her head.
"Lin-sama, they did inform the finder we were coming didn't they?" Ryuu asked the woman.
"Kain said he did but you know how he is. Let's go see if we can find him or her." Lin said walking toward the exit.
Felix and Ryuu were about to follow Lin when their finder came running up.
"Sorry… I'm … late…" The finder said as he gasped for air, his hands on his knees. At first the 3 thought he was a girl that was until they heard the deep voice. His blond hair was down to his waist and tied by a ribbon near the end. When he looked up his sky blue eyes seem to ask to be forgiven. A few stray hairs were stuck to his feminine face.
"What the hell took so damn long?!" Felix screamed at the finder.
"S-Sorry. I lost track of time!" The finder answered backing up a few steps.
"Felix! Don't yell at him." Lin ordered glaring at him and then turned to the finder. "It's fine. What's your name?"
"I'm Sinister Dexter." The finder answered.
"What information do you have for us?" Lin asked.
"Well, Lin-sama. There was an akuma attack across town about a day ago. I didn't get there in time to see anything but the locals who were there said that a girl with red hair and blue eyes destroyed the akuma. They also said she used a glowing sword to do it." Sinister answered, now standing up straight.
"So an accommodator came through? Did the town's people say she was wearing our uniform?" Ryuu asked kindly with a smile.
"No she wasn't. They said she was wearing a black shirt and black slacks." Sinister answered looking at Ryuu.
"She must be crazy to wear something like that here during the summer." Felix said looking around.
"No crazier than us." Ryuu said with a big smile. Felix gave him a little glare.
"Ok. Looks like we're not going to get a break." Lin said looking at the two exorcists with her. She then looked back to Sinister. "Do you know which way she went?"
"She was heading south-west according to the witnesses." Sinister answered.
"Ready to go you two?" Lin asked.
"Yes." Ryuu answered with a smile.
"Let's just get this over with." Felix retorted.
The three immediately headed out of the train station to the path they believed the girl took.
"And by the way, tell Kain where we're headed and all the new news you have." Lin ordered before the three exorcists trailed the path.
