Innocence
(This one is going to have the views going back and forth for a while before the view stays in one place. Sorry. Also, I only had one person -Kakudo Shi [thanks for the review by the way]- say anything about pairings and they said they wanted it and wanted them all. Now, all of them may be difficult, but I'll attempt it.)
~Lenalee and Allen's side~
"Oh Lenalee, how good it is to hear your voice again! How I've missed you so!" Komui was practically screaming on the other end of the phone line, making Lenalee have to move the telephone away from her ear.
"Komui!" She screamed back, getting his attention once again. "You were saying something before..." The dark haired girl trailed off, hoping her brother would get the idea.
"Right!" Shifting was heard from his side of the phone. "I was in contact with a group of people who work in London. They are another sort of division of Exorcists except they don't deal with Innocence. Their branches deal with the more supernatural side of things. It's called 'The Institute' and its inhabitants call themselves 'Shadowhunters'."
The silence that he got in response meant that Lenalee had no idea what he was talking about so he continued. "They have people they can spare for a while to help you guys find the Innocence faster, meaning you can come home faster also."
Lenalee could practically see her brothers overjoyed smile over the phone. "So they're coming to help us?"
"Yes. They are sending two boys who know the area well and are trained in fighting. I was told that you should all meet somewhere like a park so neither of you are forced into an awkward situation being in anothers place of residence – no matter how permanent. Also, I'm sending Lavi and Kanda there to help you guys out with this one. There may be more there than originally thought."
The girl nodded even though she knew Komui couldn't see her. "Fine. Where is the meeting spot and when?"
After her brother relayed the spot and time, she hung up, heading off to find Walker.
~Jem and Will's side~
Patience was never one of Will's better attributes. He was walking back and forth, bored out of his mind. "James," he complained, a sigh escaping his lips as he ran his hands through his wild black hair.
Jem rolled his eyes, ignoring his friend and keeping watch for the people they were supposed to meet in a few minutes. A few moments passed and Jem sighed. "Will, will you stop pacing? You're distracting me."
"Hmm?" His face was blank before it quickly turned up into a smirk. "I'm distracting you, am I?"
Without a second thought, Will's face was close up next to Jem's, his breath hot on the other's skin. "Will..." Jem trailed off, his eyes wide in shock.
"Jem?" The black haired boy chuckled in amusement before pulling back just as quick as he had gone forward.
Once his friend wasn't so close to his face, Jem relaxed visibly, his eyes returning to their searching.
~Lenalee and Allen's side~
A bright silver in the middle of a sea of green and dark blue caught their attention quickly. Lenalee's eyes widened as she remembered meeting the silver haired boy earlier. Was it possible that he and his friend were the Shadowhunters that Komui had been talking about?
The young girl could tell that Allen was surprised to see hair that was almost the same color as his. His hair had been turned that color from the curse that had been place upon him when he was younger and now that Lenalee thought about it, she wondered how the other boys hair became silver.
Allen and herself walked up to the two boys, startling them when they said a warm "Hello."
~Normal~
The two Shadowhunter's turned to see the girl they had meet earlier in the streets to be the one who spoke to them.
"Hello..." Will replied hesitantly, still unsure if he could trust the girl that seemed able to see them.
Jem nudged his friend in the side, a smile gracing his lips as he looked at the girl in front of him. "We meet again."
Lenalee nodded, bowing at the two. "My name is Lenalee Lee. I believe that we are supposed to meet."
"Ahh, so you two are the Exorcists we are to meet," Jem didn't allow his smile to faulter, his true happiness that it was someone he had seen before showing through.
Allen couldn't help but stare at the other silver haired boy. Just like himself, he was skinny, almost a 'moyashi' as Kanda called him. This boy was meant to be a 'Shadowhunter', trained in the art of hunting and killing things like he was trained in killing Akuma. Now that Allen saw someone of the same stature as himself, he could tell why people were apprenhensive that he could do anything.
"My name is James Carstairs and this is my friend William Herondale. You may call me Jem and him Will if you wish."
The girl smiled at him, giving him a quick nod as an indication that she understood. After a moment of silence, she looked over at Allen who had yet to introduce himself. He could feel her gaze on him and turned to see what she wanted before realizing his mistake. "Oh, forgive me. My name is Allen Walker. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"Same to you Allen," Jem glared over at Will, encouraging him to be nice – at least for now.
Will sighed, going along with it. "Nice to meet both of you. So, what is it that we are looking for?"
~Lavi and Kanda's side~
"Che," the dark blue haired man growled out as he was forced onto the boat with the annoying rabbit that he so despised. "What was it that Komui said about some different type of Exorcists?" Just because he hated the red head didn't mean he wouldn't use him for information when he himself hadn't listened.
Lavi looked over at Kanda, a large smirk adorning his face. "Now Yuu-chan, don't tell me you didn't listen," he chided the samurai, his finger wiggling at Kanda.
A larger growl escaped Kanda as he glared at Lavi. "Shut it usagi."
Letting it be for now since he still had the rest of the boat ride to pester Kanda, Lavi explained to him what Komui had said earlier. Sometimes it helped being Bookman Jr since he had to memorize everything for instances like this and so he could later record them in data catalogues.
Scoffing at Lavi, Kanda turned away. "New type of Exorcists," he mumbled, annoyed that they had to work with people that they didn't know.
Their boat ride for the rest of the time consisted of Lavi tormenting Kanda and provoking him into almost decapitating him with Mugen, Kanda's beloved sword.
Once they arrived in England, the duo got a ride the rest of the way to London by an old man who talked animatedly to the both of them about how cute of a couple they made; the young lady – Kanda in this instance – looked especially nice. At this, Lavi couldn't contain a loud laugh, the thought of Kanda in any sort of women's clothing making him laugh even harder.
The meeting spot was specified by Komui as they entered further into London, the two men heading in the direction of a park.
~Normal~
Jem, Will, Lenalee and Allen were all talking to each other about the mission when two other young men came up to the group. One had medium length fiery red hair tied back by a green bandana while the other had waist length dark -almost black- blue hair held up in a high ponytail.
Upon seeing the group, Lavi ran up with a smile on his face. "Allen... Lenalee," he greeted, hugging them both. His eyes fell on the other two that were there with them. "Are these the Shadowhunters we're working with?"
Kanda walked up slowly, noting everything about the group. He found that other than Allen, there was another boy with silver hair who looked almost exactly like the boy. "Moyashi, Lenalee," he finally grunted out as he got up to them.
"For the last time, BaKanda, my name's Allen!" The white haired boy yelled out, annoyed that Kanda kept calling him a moyashi.
Will chuckled from where he was standing, not entirely understanding the conversation since he didn't know what 'moyashi' meant.
The other silver haired boy bowed to the two new people joining them. "We are, in fact, the Shadowhunters. My name is Jem and this is Will," he stood straight once more, looking over the two.
"Lavi," the red head returned, holding out his hand and shaking Jem's. "This sour face's name is Kanda." He pointed to the annoyed looking man.
"Nice to know," Will cut in, trying to get back on topic. "Now, can we go over the plan again to get these two up to speed? I'd like to get this done as quickly as possible. Jem and I still have our own things to deal with."
Kanda 'che'd' in agreement the dark haired boy, finally finding someone who felt the same about this as he did. Allen only nodded, accepting this. He went over the plan with Lavi and Kanda, making sure to repeat everything that they had come up with earlier.
Once finished, they all agreed that the plan was good for now but could easily be changed if anything were to happen that wasn't expected.
"If you guys don't have any place to stay I'm sure Charlotte wouldn't mind making some rooms ready for you all at the Institute. It'd be easier to stay close together so we can talk about our plans more. Plus, the place is pretty big."
Allen, Lenalee and Lavi looked to each other while Kanda glared off into the distance, not caring either way. "That actually would be nice," Lenalee finally agreed after a moment of silent debate.
