"Blue Bird" by Ikimono-Gakari


Ch. 1: Foundation

Night-time reigned over the sky, revealing the bright stars outshone by the sun in the day time. But their light was covered by the loose clouds floated by. The pale moon hung in the ebony sky that illuminated the night. The eerie silence was broken by complaints that came from a grumpy adolescent girl climbing the rough face of a cliff. Her amber eyes lost the burning determination that she had a few hours ago, now they shone with frustration and drowsiness. She groped for the end of the ledge; once she felt it she threw her suitcase up and pulled herself to the top. She came face to face with a whimsical yet irritating sight. A tower with multiple levels stood tall in the air. Looking around her, the girl saw that the tower stood on an isolated "island". Bats traveled to her destination, but they did not chirp and their bodies were oblong.

"Ugh, it's about time!" the girl shouted out loud, as she wiped sweat off her olive-skinned face.

She ran her fingers though her shoulder length hair that fell free and straightened the pigtails that hung from the sides of her head. She tried to make it look neat, so she could make a good impression on the officials located in the building. She dusted the gravel off of her outfit; which consisted of a maroon dress that flowed just above her knees. A pair of black tights that covered her ankles covered her legs and a black coat was thrown over her shoulders. Slowly, she approached the tower; her nerves were got the best of her, for her legs were shaking. She rubbed the golden bay laurel necklace out of habit. In the front of the building, there were a pair of humongous doors with a tikki style face carved in between the doors; it added to the imaginary intimidation and wonder that the girl felt.

"Ah, you must be the new exorcist that Tiedoll was bragging about" echoed a voice.

The girl's head whipped around, her mini-pigtails followed her; she tried to decipher where the voice came from. She saw that one of the "bats" she saw projected the voice. But with a closer examination, she saw that it wasn't a bat, but a contraption.

"Well, stand still so our guard door can examine you"

"What?"

Then all of a sudden, the ground lightly shook and the tikki face came to life, its eyes bulged out if its sockets, a beam of some sort shot out and covered the girl in light. She held her hand up to her eyes, for the light was very bright and almost unbearable.

Inside the control room, a man adorned in a white coat and hat observed the scene that played before him, along with other people who also worn white coats and three teenagers. One had silver-white hair that clashed with his grey-eyes and young appearance. A pentacle adorned his forehead and his left arm had a crackled looking texture in contrast with his other normal arm. His face was filled with curiosity towards the brown eyed girl. Another was a girl of Chinese decent, with black hair that cascaded down the side of her face and was held up with pigtails. Her eyes held excitement; for she saw that her future comrade was a girl like herself. The last was a Japanese teenager with long black hair held up in a ponytail. An intimidating sword hung from his back and his eyes held no emotion.

"Hm" mused the man with the hat on, as voiced out opinions surfaced in the room.

"She's kind of cute"

"Her hair looks really…unique"

"Her necklace is very beautiful" commented the Chinese girl, as her eyes laid on the golden chain that hung around the new girl's neck. It shone brightly as the beam's light bounced off of it.

"I'm assuming that her necklace is her innocence" answered the man with the hat on.

After a few minutes, the light faded and the door boomed:

"She's cleared! Welcome to the Black Order!"

"Oh, um; thank you!" said the girl, still amazed at the fact that the door could talk.

The doors opened and revealed a hall lit up with dim torches. The floor was covered in a checker-patterned tile and columns stood proudly. She turned to the flying machine and let it lead her to her destination. It stopped in front of a pair or normal looking doors.

"Thank you no more Tikki doors" the girl thought as she sighed in relief.

She rapped the door's surface, and was answered with a voice that commanded

"Come in"

She slowly opened the door, and found a room full of people. Most of them were in white coats; she assumed that they were doctors or scientists. Then there were three teenagers that stood out with their black uniforms and silver fastenings. The man with the hat approached her and held out his hand.

"Hello there, my name is Komui Lee. I'm the Supervisor the Head Quarters for the Black Order. It's very nice to meet you" he said.

"It's nice to meet you too, I'm Rosaline Nevergold" she replied.

"Everybody her are scientists that work in the Science Division, except for these three. They will be your fellow comrades as they are also exorcists" Komui said, gesturing towards the dark clothed people.

"I'm Lenalee Lee, Komui is my older brother. If you have any questions, just ask" she said.

"I'm Allen Walker, I just joined as well so I hope we can get along with each other" said Allen

"Kanda" said the Japanese teenager.

Rosaline observed the silent exorcist for a second more; she studied his grumpy stance, his cold facial features, and his long black hair that hung straight down to his back. She turned her head away, as she felt a bit of heat rise to her cheeks.

"Wow, a real Japanese person!" thought Rosaline.

"Well, now that we're all introduced; we need you to be examined" explained Komui.

"Sure" said Rosaline.

As they weaved through out the headquarters of the order, as they did that Lenalee showed off the training rooms, the cafeteria, the lounge, and the library. Komui tailed behind them.

So she followed Lenalee and Komui down to the basement where Rosaline's imagination expanded because of the many possibilities that popped into her mind. She saw complex machinery that beeped and compiled information at speeds that Rosaline couldn't follow. She secretly wished that she had a few more pairs of eyes and more time to admire the vast technology that she saw as they traveled on an escalator down to a lower chamber.

"Um, Rosaline we're here" said Lenalee

"Oh, okay"

There was only a platform that floated in mid air.

"Um, so what am I supposed to do?" asked Rosaline

"You're supposed to get on" answered Komui

"Oh, right! Sorry"

So Rosaline hopped onto the platform with Komui and Lenalee, she almost lost her balance when the platform started to descend towards what looked like a bottom-less abyss. They reached the lowest level which contained only a lonely floor that was barricaded with a fence so that people wouldn't fall into the other bottomless pit. Rosaline was a bit confused; she expected a doctor to examine her.

"Just stand still, and show them what you are" said Komui, taking a few steps back.

Rosaline found out why he stepped back for her body was consumed by swirling arms of an unknown creature. It wrapped its limbs around her waist and lifted her off her feet. It paid most attention to her prized necklace, which hung from her dainty neck. It groped its tentacles around the piece of jewelry and lifted it off of Rosaline. A bit shocked at what the "thing" did, she tried to reach for it with her hands, but it told her in a haunted, yet beautiful voice:

"It is alright, I am not going to harm it"

Rosaline's body relaxed a bit at the news she heard, the creature made her necklace glowed brightly in a pale azure light. Then it placed its head gently onto hers and chanted numbers:

"3%... 15%...45%...68%...79%... 80%...80%... the limit is 80%"

"80%?" thought Rosaline, "what the heck was that about?"

"Ah 80%, that's really good!" exclaimed Komui. "80% represents how synched you are with your innocence"

"Forgive me for scarring you", apologized the mysterious thing "I just wanted to see your innocence"

"Oh" Rosaline said, a bit speechless and frazzled at what she just went through.

"Rosaline Nevergold, you possess one of the same powers that I possess and something else. We are like sisters you and I; you shall soon be the bell that tolls for the order, like I" predicted the creature as it gently let Rosaline to the ground.

"We will be seeing each other very soon" chimed the creature, as it sank down to the pit.

"Very interesting, what do you think?" Komui asked above him.

Rosaline looked up as well and saw a semi-circle of men draped in a long uniform similar to Lenalee's, Allen's, and Kanda's.

"I think that she will be an irreplaceable asset to the order" one of the men said. "As for Helvaska's prediction, we will let time flow the way it's supposed to"

"Well, since we go that over with. Lenalee, can you show Rosaline to her room?" asked Komui.

"Of course, come on!" said Lenalee as she grabbed Rosaline's arm and tugged her along.

After a couple flock of stairs we finally reached my room, it contained the essentials: a bed and a vanity.

"Being an exorcist is going to be great!" shouted Rosaline.

She didn't even pause to think about the true meaning of the Black Order, for she didn't even know it.

The fun has just started, so be patient.

A review would be very lovely; just don't give me really harsh flames, okay?

Constructive Criticism is key!
