A/N
Hello everyone. I am ReenaKanda, for those new readers I recommend going back and reading Purpose as this is a direct sequel and you will definitely be confused if you haven't. For my other readers please refrain from throwing tomatoes or anything else at me. I know I probably pissed you off with the way I ended Purpose. As mentioned this is a sequel and Reena will be back for you people that love her.
This takes place when Reena's daughter is 10. She has no idea who her parents are, she was raised by Komui. Her name is Lea please read and review.
The little bundle was laid in Yuu's arms as my eyes began to close from fatigue for the final time. I lost too much blood but had managed to see my little girl just once. The world faded to black around me and I heard just one thing, Yuu calling my name, and asking me to hold on… I felt myself drifting away from the voice before everything stopped.
Kanda's POV
Our little girl was laying in my arms when Reena passed away, "Reena, I need you, our daughter needs you, please don't leave." I whispered as I felt her pulse fade and tears began rolling down my cheeks. I held our little girl close and whispered, "Please Reena, promise this isn't the last time I will see you…
Lea's POV
I was laying outside on the grass in the courtyard of the black order trying to process what Komui had just told me. In my few years I had always dreamed of meeting my parents but today Komui had sat me down and told me the cold hard truth…
Flashback
"Lea, there's something I should tell you, I would have told you sooner but I didn't know if you were ready to hear it…" He began, I was confused, ready to hear what? He continued, "It's about your mother," He paused looking grieved at the thought, 'Maybe he knew her and they were close?' I wasn't ready when he looked me in the eyes with tears glistening and whispered, "I'm sorry Lea, she's been dead a long time…"
My eyes widened in shock, "She can't be dead," I sunk down, "I have never even met her, my own mother, the one who would care above all else…" I drifted off tears falling in rivers down my cheeks. She would never be able to come talk to me about girl stuff, or even just talk to me when I was upset like I was now. What I thought was the worst though was that I would never get to feel the comforting embrace of a mother, I would never know her… I looked up, "What about my father?" I asked uncertain.
"He is still in the order and very much alive but I don't think it would be wise to let you talk to him. He's become violently depressed… I think if I were to ask if there's anything he wants he would say to die… That man needs to start moving forward, once he does I will tell you who he is." Komui said looking out the window depressed.
End of flashback
I was laying in the grass playing with the small locket Komui had given me last year for my birthday, I had been unable to open it for the life of me though and I suspected Komui had sealed it with alchemy, an art that he had once let slip that my mother had taught him. Since I found that out I had been nagging at him to let me try with the 'magic circles' as I had called them at the time. He had never let me touch one, he claimed that without knowing what you wanted to do and the knowledge to do so you wouldn't succeed in the transmutation. He had begun teaching me little things last year after he gave me the locket, which made me think he wanted me to figure out how to open it.
I was staring up at the sky when Lavi and Lenalee appeared beside me, "Hey what're you up to?" Lenalee asked gently. She had always been incredibly gentle towards me. She gently touched my hair as she bent down, "Your hair has grown so long, just like your mothers was." I sat up, looked at her and she quickly responded, "Your mother was one of my best friends while she was here at the order, her and your father were probably a perfect couple. She would have loved you…" she said the last part sadly before an alarm began to go off, "The alarm signifying that someone in the pool was awakening, "The second exorcist project was outlawed years ago why is there another one!" She yelled to Lavi before all three of us began to run towards the pool.
When we arrived there a young woman who appeared to be in her mid-twenties was wrapped in one of the scientists jackets. Komui was gently rubbing her back and asking if she remembered who she was, the woman shook her head and that's when I noticed the scar running down the left side of her face, it was a pentacle with a thin line running almost all the way down her cheek with a thin line crossing it just below her eye. Her left hand appeared to be black as well. Komui helped her stand slowly supporting her, almost as if he knew her, "Get everyone out, I think I know who she is but I need to confirm it and maybe find a way to restore her memories."
The woman looked at me with a hint of both recognition and surprise. I saw her eyes were light silver with hints of blue and gold. My hand went up to my eye and I was aware of who Komui thought she was, she could be my mother, brought back from the dead. Komui looked at her and saw the look in her eyes before she came towards me, she gently touched my cheek with her human right arm before whispering, "Lea… I'm glad you're okay…" She trailed off before turning and following Komui to find something decent to wear.
I turned around and saw Kanda behind me with a look something akin to shock. He quickly turned around and left not bothering to realize I had begun to follow him. He stopped outside Komui's door before hesitantly knocking. After the door had been opened Komui noticed me following him and let us both in. I saw the lady holding a small photograph of me and noticed tears rolling down her cheeks, I heard her quietly whisper, "Lea I'm sorry I don't remember more…" she drifted off again before noticing us standing there. Kanda still appeared to be in shock as she stood up and walked over to Komui. She handed him the picture before turning to us. When she did Kanda backed away slowly, but she didn't follow, instead she walked up to me, "Lea… do you know who I am?" She asked with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.
I nodded as I had already figured it out, the resemblance between us was incredible, there were two noticeable differences, our hair and her scar. I looked her in the eyes as tears began to swell in both our eyes, "I'm glad to finally meet you, Mom…" I whispered before she flung her arms around me and tears rolled down both our faces.
She quietly whispered in my ear, "I'm sorry I couldn't see you grow up this far. I promise I will be here to see you finish growing up though." I felt her tighten her hug as she cried, "I only wish I could remember…" I snuggled into her shoulder finally meeting my mother and finding out she did care…
A/N
I wasn't originally intending on bringing her back first chapter but I thought Lea needed someone since Kanda didn't seem to care to much that she was there. I did take her memories though. By the way who do you think it was that brought her back as one of the second exorcists?
Review! Thanks for putting up with me!
