I was currently sitting in a tree as I watched my fellow apprentice run like an idiot. A small laugh passed my lips as our master, General Cross Marian, screamed at the boy from his place by the hut we currently took residence in.
"A little help here, Koyuuki!" came Allen's scream as a lion began to chase him. I could see the tears in his eyes as he ran in my direction, the lion following its target.
I gave out a sigh as I quickly swung my body with my legs holding the branch. "I got you Allen!" I shouted as I thrust my arms out to my friend. Seeing what I was doing, Allen threw out his arms and grabbed my hands. With as much force as I could gather, I pulled Allen and myself back into the tree and away from the lion. The large animal stalking around us watched our every move; waiting for one of us to fall into its awaiting jaws.
"Thanks…" came his voice as he tried to regain his breathing. Sweat was gathered on his face from his long and unwanted game of tag.
I brought up my hand and ruffled Allen's snow white hair as I smiled at him. "You know I'm always going to be there when you need me. That's what friends do." I stated to him with a smile.
His stormy grey eyes looked back to me as he also gave me a smile. The pentacle curse on his left eye only added to the boy's smile in my opinion. His plain white button up shirt was rumpled and covered in dirt and small tears while his black trousers had dirt stains on the bottoms near his shoes. Two mangled black gloves covered his hands, hiding his parasitic type innocence from view.
Taking my hand back, I looked down to the ground to find that the lion had left during my short conversation with Allen. "Well what do you know? It's safe for us to head back to Master." I commented to my white haired friend. Looking back to him I saw that he, too, was looking at the place the large feline once stood. Grabbing his left hand in mine, I quickly pulled the teen with me and off of the tree.
With our hands still linked together, we both made our way back to where General Cross stood with our two golems.
"Hey, Koyuuki?"
I turned to face Allen as he looked forward with a nervous look on his face. I tilted my head to show my confusion. He must have sensed my stare since he continued; "Earlier, you mentioned that you and Master had something to tell me…" he trailed off at the end of his inquiry. His grip on my hand tightened as we continued to walk back.
I gave a nervous chuckle when he looked at me in question. Scratching my cheek with my free hand, I hesitantly faced the small shack we had been living in. Dread began to settle into the pit of my stomach the closer we got to Master Cross.
"It was more of Master needing to tell you something. I'm simply to watch…"

"Was that really necessary!?" I screamed to the red haired General as he threw me over his shoulder. A grunt of discomfort escaped my lips when his sharp shoulder dug into the tender flesh of my stomach. The anti-akuma weapon strapped to my hip being squished painfully into my side.
A small chuckle escaped his lips as he began to walk away from the shack; an unconscious Allen still inside. "The idiot will be fine; he has Timcampy as well as a spare letter from you. Besides," he looked over his shoulder to lock eyes with my own cobalt ones, "You don't want to be going where he's going." Turning to face forward again, Master Cross continued to walk away from the place we had called home for the past few months.
"That didn't mean you had to knock him out!" I yelled from my place on Cross' shoulder. "You could have just sent him on another errand and had him take Tim!" My frustration only seemed to grow as I thought about what Master had done; what I had done.
My eyes moved to the ground; a hard look passing over my features. My medium length midnight blue hair fell into my eyes as it swayed with each step Cross took. Small hands gripped the fabric of my Master's black and gold Exorcist coat. A light purple beaded bracelet clung to my right wrist, an identical with someone else.
"Where are we going this time?" I softly asked. After being taken from my best friend for who knows how long, I wanted to at least know where our next destination would be.
Master's white masked eye turned in my direction as I moved my sight to the small speck in the horizon that was our previous home.
Releasing a sigh, Cross faced away from me in thought. His grip tightened on my waist, signaling his frustration. His answer only fueled that frustration.
"Somewhere the Order won't find you again."
His tone was dark as he spoke of these thoughts. A frown tugged at his lips; his always lit cigarette long since burnt out. I couldn't blame him. We DID kind of leave the only person he thought of as a son while having to hide the one he sees as a daughter.
A bitter laugh escaped my lips as I thought of his reasoning. While I really didn't want to go back, I knew that at some point, I would have to. I couldn't run from my fate forever. Sooner or later, the past will come back to haunt me.
'I only hope I'm ready for it when it happens.'

Hey guys! I know its short but its 4 am when I finished typing this. I know I've been gone longer than you expected but there was just soooo much going on that it took longer.
And I just didn't know how to continue. So I've been reading and watching anime to get an idea of what to do.
There are starters to other stories that I have typed up and ready to post. No, I haven't forgotten my previous ones. I simply have no idea how to fill in the blanks that I have for the plot. Slowly but surely I am typing more to Uchiha no More so don't think I have abandoned it! Feel free to read the others I have up while you wait. I'll be posting the other starters soon so that you have SOMETHING new to read while you wait.
Thanks again for the support guys!
Until Next Time,
JA NE~~
