A New Life

Lavi had to admit the life of a Noah under the Millennium Earl was very interesting. Sure having to call the Earl Master was a little weird at first but when you got used to it, it seemed like you never had called him anything else. Ever since that day Lavi was allowed to get away with anything there didn't seem to be any rules except for the one about not touching the Earl's stuff. Lavi no longer had to worry about reports and his Bookman job anymore and he could freely have friends without being scolded by an old panda.

Lavi had always thought the Noahs and the Earl were all a bunch of lowlife jerks but when Lavi saw things from their point of view and met them he found out more than he ever expected. Wisely and Kanda like said were brothers from the start and it wasn't long till Lavi joined their little band becoming the three musketeers as the Earl called them an inseparable group of dangerous abnormal people. The Earl actually had a sense of humor and didn't really want to fight the exorcists but they would never stop to listen to him. Lulubell and Road were both fun to be around Road especially although Lulubell sometimes had the air of someone high and mighty. Skinbolic was still an ass that couldn't stand anything that wasn't sweet and Jasdevi were a bunch of pranksters like Lavi. Cyril was kind of like a cross between a therapist and your father and was really good with helping you with your problems. Mercym was more of the strong silent type and never talked to Lavi. Tryde was well judgmental I guess because he was the Noah of Judgment but hey he was an awesome guy once you get to know him, he seemed to like to follow Wisely around. Fiddler was much like Jasdevi a jokester and prankster and Mightra was the scientist of the group. So waking up with test tubes in you and needles was to be expected. The Earl seemed to like having an exorcist on his side and enjoyed watching the surprised and horrified looks other exorcists made when they died but another exorcists hand.

Lavi paused in his writing; the whole journal idea had been Cyril's telling him it would help with getting over his own betrayal. Lavi didn't think it was necessary but he did anyway so hopefully one day when he was gone another exorcist might stumble upon his notebook and Noahs and exorcists could get along. Stowing the notebook into his pocket Lavi stood up; having sat in the hallway outside the Earls room for three hours Lavi's ass was numb. He couldn't wait any longer he had to ask the Earl something so striding forward he reached the door preparing to knock. Only to fall over with a surprised squeal as the Earl appeared behind him.

"Can I help you?" the Earl asked Lavi who happened to be on the floor.

"Have you been gone this entire time?" Lavi asked standing again.

"Yes actually I have why?" the Earl replied.

"So I was about to knock on your door when you weren't there?" Lavi asked feeling utterly stupid.

"Yes which is why I'm asking can I help you?" the Earl replied laughing a little.

"Ah damn I feel like a dumbass," Lavi said slouching over.

"Would it help you if I said you are a dumbass?" the Earl asked jokingly.

"NO!"Lavi shouted back and the Earl laughed.

"What did you need to ask me Lavi?" the Earl asked again.

"Oh yeah," Lavi said remembering the whole point of coming here. "I want to know why you sent Tyki with Pride and Wisely instead of me." Lavi used the Noah name of Kanda to show respect to the Earl.

"Oh just to see how they would work together," Earl replied.

"But Master Earl you know Wisely Pride and I are the best team you got!" Lavi complained tugging on Earl's sleeve like a small child.

"The best three person team has yet to be decided I was merely testing out a different team which is also why Road, Lulubell and Skinbolic are on a team though that one doesn't work quite as well. Tyki-pet, Wisely and Pride seem to work together quite well though. The other reason was I have a special mission for you Lavi one only you can perform," the Earl said.

"Oooohhhh," Lavi said feeling slightly special at the moment. "What is my task?"

"You remember that Walker boy's golem, the golden one right?" the Earl asked.

"Timcampy yeah I remember," Lavi said not quite getting the point of the golem.

"Well I need you to infiltrate the North American base or wherever the Black Order members are and steal it," the Earl said.

"Ok sounds simple enough but why?" Lavi asked.

"The golem can tell us where Cross is because it's his golem this will make Jasdevi's job easier," Earl explained not at all annoyed.

"Oh duh," Lavi said face palming himself.

"Tryde will go with you as a precaution so the exorcists won't kill you," the Earl said and Tryde just so happened to be there. "I'd rather not lose my exorcist." With that the Earl disappeared into his room leaving Lavi and Tryde alone in the hallway.

"I guess that means we leave now," Lavi said and Tryde nodded in agreement. They walked quickly down the hallways till they reached the door leading to the outside, and ran right into Skinbolic, Road, and Lulubell who happened to be returning.

"God damn it,' Skin muttered and went around them.

"Hi Lavi!" said Road happily and she ran past him planting a kiss on Lavi's cheek before disappearing inside. Lulubell merely nodded to Tryde and scowled at Lavi before following the first two inside.

"Not very friendly is she?" Lavi commented as Tryde and Lavi continued.

"She disapproves of an exorcist on our side but doesn't dare challenge Master Earl," Tryde explained.

"Oh," Lavi said and he blushed a little bit thinking about Road.

"Are you thinking about Road?" Tryde asked straight forward.

"Uh what makes you think that?" Lavi replied quickly and his face was even darker red.

"You like her don't you?" Tryde continued. "She seems to like you that's for sure." Lavi merely looked away not wanting to say something stupid.

"Relax Lavi I'm not gonna tell anyone especially Cyril I'd rather not face the rath of fatherly Cyril. Although I can't guarantee Wisely won't tell," Tryde said and he seemed to be glaring into his head where Lavi could hear Wisely snicker as he retreated from Tryde's head.

"Thanks Tryde and I swear Wisely if you tell I'm going to…..," Lavi began.

"Beat me to a pulp?" Wisely finished for him while grinning evilly. "I'd like to see you try." Lavi ground his teeth as Wisely disappeared from his head laughing. Wisely may be an awesome friend/brother but his mind freak powers can be a pain in the ass sometimes. Leaving the fortress behind Tryde and Lavi strode toward the train station like any other humans. Honestly no one would be able to tell Tryde being in his human form and Lavi no longer wore an exorcist uniform. What was also convenient was that fact that now that Master Earl trusted Lavi lower level Akuma listened to him, although it sometimes surprised Lavi it helped. No one in town spared a second glance and no one seemed to care where they were going on the train. It was more like they were afraid of saying anything that might make their town or city the next target on Master Earl's list. Lavi sighed heavily although it was nice living with the Noahs it would be nicer if people still talked to him.

"I could help with that," said Wisely appearing in Lavi's head; Kanda followed close behind.

"Yu!" Lavi shouted and he ran over to his friend giving him a hug.

"Well this could be interesting," said Deak from the top of the pile of coffins in Lavi's head.

"You ever think about redecorating Lavi?" Wisely asked kicking one of the coffins; he made a funny face than began hopping around holding his foot. "That hurt! What the hell you got in these things, rocks?" Lavi didn't answer his question he was too busy laughing as was Kanda and Deak. Wisely continued to hop around until he tripped over a half submerged coffin and slammed into a huge pile of coffins creating a domino effect. Deak was thrown off the top and he disappeared into avalanche of coffins as they crashed down on top of everyone else burying them. Lavi was the first to emerge from beneath a particularly large coffin followed by Deak; Kanda seemed to have vanished.

"Geez Deak do you have to make some of the coffins so big?" Lavi asked rubbing his head. "Who would this one be for anyway?"

"My guess would be Winters," Deak replied sprawled across one of the coffins. At that point a little ways away from Deak, Lavi, and Wisely the coffins started to burn. The fire ate at the coffins and the coffins vanished quickly turning to ash by the fire. Kanda stood in the middle of the ring of fire that was quickly spreading and man did he look pissed. A sword form in his hand made of lightning while his entire body erupted into flames; he charged at all three of them. Lavi dug the rest of himself out of the coffins and ran away from the flaming Kanda screaming, Wisely and Deak did the same. Lavi had to admit though it probably looked funny watching a bunch of grown men run around a hill of coffins one being on fire waving a large dangerous sword around like a madman. Because of said actions any where Kanda went lit on fire like dry kindle and Wisely, Lavi and Deak had to move farther and farther away from the coffin hill. As a result the three ended up cornered with nowhere to go and a very angry looking Kanda blocking the only exit.

Lavi watched with frightened eyes as Kanda drew closer and the tips of his coat touched the walls and lit them on fire making Wisely, Deak and Lavi jump away before getting burned. As if someone hit the pause button on a good movie everything froze including Kanda and a voice could be heard.

"Oi, Lavi we're here!" Tryde said and it seemed to echo everywhere. "Get your happy ass out here before I put you on the tracks of an oncoming train!" Lavi did not want to become a nice red splat on train tracks and apparently no one felt like angering Tryde. So Kanda and Wisely disappeared, Deak began to fix the coffins, and Lavi came out of his head to find Tryde staring at him with an annoyed look on his face.

"How about next time you do that you don't scream in the real world?" Tryde said through clenched teeth. "You know how hard it is to convince everyone on the train that you are not psychotic?"

"I'm gonna guess really hard?" Lavi replied with an attempt at humor; Tryde knocked in the head.

"Baka!" He muttered and stalked off away from the train station.

"Tryde wait for me!" Lavi called after him and charged through the crowd and almost tackled Tryde.

"Would mind not trying to knock me over?" Tryde asked calmly as if he never had been angry.

"Sure rather not collide with you and get sent sprawling on the pavement in front of a lot of people," Lavi replied and they continued walking through the tightly packed streets.

"That reminds me how'd we get to North America by train from Japan?" Lavi asked having completely missed the entire train ride due to lack of interest.

"Apparently the American government found it convenient to build train bridges over the ocean connecting Asia and America or at least North America. I see it as a big waste of time and money but it's their money they're spending," Tryde explained with a tiny bit of venom.

"I missed riding over the ocean?" Lavi said surprised. "Damn I wanted to see the dolphins."

"No dolphins, porpoises though," Tryde replied.

"Aren't they the same thing?" Lavi asked.

"Actually no you see…," Tryde began.

"No need for the lesson on dolphins and porpoises," Lavi said putting his hand over Tryde's mouth. Tryde bit Lavi's hand hard enough to draw blood if Lavi hadn't been wearing gloves.

"Ow!" Lavi squeaked and withdrew his hand back quickly. They both continued on silently; the sun above them was merciless and roasted anyone within its glare; on top of that the multiple compacted people made everything hotter. It wasn't long before both Tryde and Lavi were sweating buckets.

"Did not know North America was so hot I'm roasting," Lavi complained wiping his forehead with the back of his hand.

"Not all of North America is really hot it's just a few states like um Arizona and Texas wherever those are," Tryde explained also wiping his forehead.

"Do you think we are in either of those states?" Lavi asked slouching a little.

"Don't really know never asked what state we were in cause I didn't view it as important," Tryde replied.

"Huh," Lavi said and he leaned over and talked to the nearest person; a tall man. "What state are we in?"

"You don't know? Well we are in the state of North Carolina," the man replied. "It's normally cooler here but for some reason it's been exceptionally hot, it's really getting on my nerves."

"Ok thanks," Lavi said and moved away from the man and turned to Tryde. "Weird it's supposed to be colder here a lot colder apparently."

"Should I care?" Tryde replied. "We aren't finders or exorcists so phenomena's don't matter unless they affect Master Earl which this doesn't. So don't worry about it it's not our problem." They continued on thru town toward the nearest hotel, along the way Lavi noticed multiple finders from the North American base wondering around.

"Obviously North American base has noticed this phenomenon," Lavi whispered to Tryde who nodded.

"Let's find some place more private to talk about this," Tryde replied and he started walking faster. Lavi merely nodded and followed it wasn't long before they had found a hotel, gotten a room, and were sitting on the two beds in said room.

"Ok so what now?" Lavi asked closing the door.

"Well we can wait till the exorcists meant to look for the innocence come here and kill them or we can wait till night to sneak into the base. Your choice," Tryde replied laying down on one of the beds.

"I think we should just wait till nightfall and see what happens," Lavi replied laying down on the other bed.

"Whatever," Tryde said and he fell silent. Lavi had nothing to do so he fell asleep thinking of how many exorcists he would have to kill to carry out Master Earl's request.
