Chapter 41:

Kanda and I followed Komui and the two finders onto the elevator.

"You two get out of here!" Komui ordered.

"Like that's going to happen." Was Kanda's reply.

"If Kanda and Hannah are going then I should-" Chaoji had caught up and was going to get on.

"If you get on, your ass is history." I snapped at him.

"My innocence is with Hevaleska right now." Kanda wasn't paying attention to Chaoji, he was talking to Komui. "The barrier won't hold for long. If it comes down to it, I'll take that thing on."

"Don't be stupid! By doing that you're just throwing your life away!" Komui's words stopped there as he realized that Kanda knew exactly what he was doing. Kanda smirked.

"Right, then do your best to stay out of my way, and get the hell out of here." Komui looked at me.

"I'm with Kanda. Get in my way and I throw you out."

"Hurry, Komui!" Hevaleska's voice cut off any arguments Komui might have brought up. "Collect the innocence and the cube inside of me. And also, Leverrier is bringing Lenalee to me." Komui gritted his teeth, he was hating this I could see, but I wasn't going to back down. He wouldn't stand a chance alone and Kanda couldn't afford to waste much more of his life.

"Descend!" He hit the pad and the elevator started to descend at high speed. At about halfway down there was the sound of breaking glass from above.

"It's here." Kanda stated and we got into position in front of Komui. The Akuma was descending fast.

"Hevaleska!" Komui yelled. Kanda and I crouched down, ready to spring forward and attack. The Akuma brought its hand in front of itself and shot at us. I grabbed Komui and pulled him down covering him with my body as much as I could, Kanda and the finders did the same.

Kanda and I got the brunt of the attack, but we'd be all right. I had a parasitic type innocence and Kanda could heal. The finders didn't have a chance to live now that they'd been shot. The elevator had been shot as well and we fell down to the ground in flames.

"Supervisor… Komui… Supervisor…" The finders asked as Komui regained consciousness. I looked to my left, Kanda's wounds were bad.

"Kanda! You protected me?!" Komui was also worried, obviously.

"Calm down." He grabbed his chest where the tattoo was.

I got up. I could feel that more of my ribs had broken. That was the thing about bones, if you broke one the chances of you breaking it again in the same place were high. And if they'd just healed, well, it was bloody annoying to say the least. I couldn't feel my arm and leg anymore.

"Supervisor… are you alright?" One of the finders asked. I turned away, I didn't want to see them.

"Yes, thanks. Are you two okay?"

"We… we're…" There was no noise.

I never understood finders, they put their lives on the line and for what?

"Komui and Hannah and Yu?" Lavi's voice came through the smoke and soon he appeared too.

"Lavi?!" Komui's voice both relayed his surprise and worry.

"Thank god you're alive!" Lavi came to stand next to me.

"Is our game of tag finished supervisor?" I faced the Akuma head on, Lavi and Kanda stood on either side of me, Kanda with his sword and Lavi with his… flagpole? How would that help? Well, it would help as much as the sword…

"You don't have to do this." Kanda addressed us both.

"I know." I said, keeping my ground.

"Once again." Was Lavi's reply.

"Once again." The Akuma echoed.

"Hannah! Kanda! Lavi!" Komui yelled at us as the Akuma came at us. Lavi stabbed at it with the pole, it grabbed the pole and flung Lavi into the wall. I lunged at the opening Lavi had created. I kicked the Akuma in the stomach, creating the smallest dent, but not damaging it. The Akuma grabbed my leg and broke it. I tried to punch it in the face, it caught my fist and smashed its fist into my stomach. I flew into the wall next to Lavi, coughing up blood, thankful that I'd kicked with my broken leg, though now it was broken in two places.

"Still more people?" I looked up to see it holding Kanda by the front of his shirt. It had shot Hevaleska. "What are you doing over there?"

"Shit…" I couldn't agree more with Lavi's opinion. The Akuma dropped Kanda and went to Lenalee. I grabbed Lavi and went to see if Kanda was alright, he was fine- well, as fine as you could be in these situations.

I looked up to see Allen heading at the Akuma. They started fighting and the Akuma was definitely winning.

A green light shone from the right. Lenalee's resonance with her innocence had begun.

"Go to her Komui." Lavi managed to get out. "She's been alive because of you. You know that don't you?" Komui just stared. "Go and stay by her side. Aren't you her brother?" Komui lowered his head and clenched his fists and teeth.

"I… don't know what I should do… I just don't know anymore." That sparked a fire of annoyance in me, it seemed to be happening more often now. The red hair was catching up. Now that I decided that I cared, anything that wasn't right would piss me off.

"What… was that… what did you say you sister complex!" Kanda said the very words that I wanted to. He kicked Komui in the butt, making him fall on his face. "I'm fed up with listening to you people, one after another!" I felt a pang of guilt and a blush creep onto my cheeks. "Why did you enter the Order?" Kanda growled at Komui, glaring down at him. It hit the nerve it was meant to. Which showed that Kanda was good at more than just the sword, a foul mood and a bad mouth.

Komui ran off to where Lenalee was and I saw Allen fall nearby. The Akuma swung an attack at him to which he swung his sword in defense. Lavi and Kanda and I were off to help him. Kanda and Lavi got there first and grabbed his sword.

"Hang in there!"

"You're all we've got right now!"

My broken leg slowed me down, but not too much. I jumped and landed on the blade, forcing it forward.

"Don't give up kid!" I yelled and the sword sliced through the attack, causing it to explode.

I felt myself flying and hit the wall with a loud crunch. If I'd had any whole bones, that was not the case now. Now all my ribs were broken. The burning in my rib cage confirmed that.

I opened my eyes, looked left and saw Kanda, looked right and saw Lavi, looked straight and saw the Akuma ready to destroy Allen. Damn.

Lenalee landed on its arm.

It prepared another attack and shot. Then floated up, I looked up and saw that Allen and Lenalee were up.

"All the way up?! Could you see them, Yu?" Kanda was silent for a moment, probably wondering whether he should threaten about the name calling.

"No." He finally said.

I couldn't see what was going on. Just flashing lights.

Lenalee was fighting on par with the Akuma. They brought it down to the ground and Allen stuck his sword in it. Lenalee landed on it crushing it into the Akuma. She then jumped up higher and higher, to get more speed and velocity, I'm sure. She came down on the screaming Akuma.

Jus then there was an explosion in the wall in front of us.

"The evacuation is off, Komui." I heard General Cross's voice. He appeared with his corpse by his side. "This little beer belly punk is gonna make a lovely little sample for testing."
