Summary: She's the new girl to the black order and he just seems to not be able to take his eyes off her.

Pairing: AllenKagome

Protect

She stood behind him currently waiting in line for her turn to get food. She had heard everything that he wanted to eat and was staring at him wierd. I mean, he practically ordered enough to feed an entire army and then some! Looking at him closely, she couldn't help but to poke his side to see if he really was that skinny, or if he was just hiding his weight. Shockingly, he was just as skinny as he looked, and he was currently staring at her with wide eyes and a slight blush on his face.

She did her best to hold in her laughter and stared at him, blinking. It wasn't everyday that he would just suddenly bounce out of the way and give her that kind of look. It was just way too funny to pass up.

She turned to face the food that was now ready and sitting there, waiting for him to take. He took it and ran as fast as he could out of the way of her view, going straight to Leenalee's table. She giggled as soon as he was out of earshot and turned to the cook.

He gave her a strange look. "You're the newbie, right? What's your name, and what would you like to eat."

"Kagome, and Oden with some white rice, please."

"Alright." He prepared her order, then set it down in front of her. "You know, Kagome, you shouldn't have your innocence activated all the time. You'll get extremely tired and hurt yourself."

"No worries." She said simply, smiling. "I'll be fine." Then she walked away, over to where Kanda was sitting quietly.

She set her tray down beside him, causing him to look up. "May I sit here?" She asked. When she received no response, she sat down. "Itadekimasu." She said quietly, causing him to turn towards her this time.

"Nihon?" He asked, and she turned to him, nodding.

"Hai. You?"

"Hai."

It was quiet for a bit and then she spoke again. "Watashi wa...Higurashi Kagome desu."

"Kanda Yuu desu."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Kanda-kun." She said, giving him a sweet smile.

"Your innocence is still activated, why?" He asked, turning back to his food.

"Just because." She stated, eating as well.

----Mission----

She was thrown straight into a wall, but not before she had completely destroyed the opponent. When her companions had composed themselves, they rushed over to her, Allen being the one to pick her up and allow her to rest her head on his arm.

"Ne, Kagome. You should deactivate your innocence. The akuma is gone." Lavi stated as he knelt down in front of her and smiled. "No need to be afraid, even if this is your first mission. You'll get used to it."

She shook her head in the negative, even to Leenalee's pleads. Kanda walked over to her, standing above her and glaring down.

He spoke in Japanese, just so the others would not understand. "Higurashi-san, deactivate it now."

"Iie!" She exclaimed, looking about close to crying. "Onegai...iie..."

Allen held her tighter as if trying to reassure her, but she didn't seem to get it. He bent his head enough so that none of the others could see his face but Kagome.

"Please. Deactivate your innocence before you get hurt by it...please..."

She stared up into his desperate, sad eyes and put her head down. She closed her eyes and they could all feel the innocence deactivate.

They all felt weird now as they stood in front of the woman, realizing she had never once deactivated her innocence since they had known her. Which wasn't a healthy thing.

"Higurashi-san." Kanda said, shocked.

She opened her eyes and looked at nothing in particular. Now that they noticed it though, her eyes were different from their usual blue. In fact, they were brown. A very foggy brown. Their eyes widened once again.

She was blind.

Rewinding on their fears, they realized that yes, they were afraid of humans, and therefore didn't trust them, and yes, one of them had a way to see the akuma when it was right in front of him. What they didn't realize was that they had never thought of being blind before. Not being able to see anything but darkness when you woke up, and when it was day, it still looked dark. The fact that she could no longer see them, but only hear them in her dark world was enough to make them feel even worse about all of their complaints on how they could not see the akuma. She should have more fears than them, but she concurred them all up until she had gotten to be an exorcist.

They felt weak, but apparently, so did she.

She grabbed onto Allen's coat front and buried herself closer to him. He tightened his hold around her, and his bangs shadowed his face once again as he whispered.

"Don't worry, we'll protect you...I'll always protect you..."

"Arigatou..."

End
