Hello! Please Read and Review!
By the way I don't own DGM
In the last chapter of Sacredness in Tears...
"Can you activate you Innocence for me?"
"Sí, of course." Maria's black necklace glowed and she began to sing…
People rushed to hear the sound, the few animals in the Order, came and sat in Koumi's office to hear the beautiful voice. Koumi sank into his chair, marveling at what she could do with just 48% synchronization. He thought he could see the sound flowing from her mouth. He felt his mind dissolve in to the music.
Here in this place, new light is streaming, now is the darkness vanished away, see in this space, our fears and our dreaming brought here to you in the light of this day.
Gather us in the lost and forsaken
Gather us in the blind and the lame
Gather us in the rich and the haughty
Gather us in, the proud and the strong
Call to us now, and we shall awaken
You shall arise at the sound of your name.
You are the young – your lives are a mystery
You are the old – who yearn for God's face.
We have been sung throughout all of history
Called to be light for the whole human race.
When she stopped, she said "Komui?"
"Yes, Maria?" he felt like he would do anything for her.
"Can you introduce me to every one?"
"Of course, the people in black and silver are the Exorcists, the man by the door is Kanda, to the right of him is Allen, but you already know him and my beautiful sister Lenali, the next one over is Bookman, and Reever is the one that kidnapped me earlier today. The group in white lab coats are called Scientists, from the science departments, The Finders, are wearing tan coats that cover their entire bodies. The Nurses are in white doctors or nurse's garb. Oh! And Jerry is the chef and Lavi but he is on a Mission so you will have to meet him later." Koumi fought for breath, wondering why he said it all at once.
"Thank you Komui. Now will the animals, make a noise and touch a human please. Gently, mind you." After they complied she said, "I now let you all free, and please go back with what you were doing." The need to please her stopped and Komui felt like he had just woken up. The others looked dazed and left the office. Kanda ched glaring at the sheepish looking woman as he left the room. Komui then glanced at her and Bookman speaking in Spanish. Bookman left, and Komui asked what they were saying.
"He said that he could have resisted and so could his apprentice with some training. He wished to find a time when we could practice. And to not do that because it would interrupt his apprentice's training? Who's his apprentice?"
"Lavi. He and the Bookman are here to study and learn all of the history the Black Order has to offer. You will meet him later. …So that was your Innocence's power?" She nodded and crumpled to the floor. The last thing she saw was Komui trying to catch her as she fell.

When Maria woke up, she was wearing a white stiff dress, she quietly got up. The woman made the bed she woke up in and looked around. She saw a chair with her clothes folded on it. Maria changed into them, before trying to leave. A scary German woman grabbed her ear and hauled her back to the bed. Maria protested and recovered her ear back by quickly kicking the back of the German's knee. "Who are you? And where am I?"
The woman didn't seem to care about getting kicked, only saying, "Well, I think you were just exhausted and starving. You are too thin. Get out, I don't want to see you for a long time." Maria left as fast as she could, running back to a flight of stairs and the to the Science Department.
When she arrived, She locked herself in Komui's Office and shut the door. Komui watched wondering why the woman who had fainted in front of him moments ago, was flushed and hiding under the paper stacked around the room. "Sooo, what are you doing Maria?"
Maria jumped "Why are you in here?"
"… I work here."
"Oh, right. I'm hiding from the horrifying woman who was going to pull my ear off, and eat it!"
"Maria, I doubt she would eat it." She shook her head rapidly in disagreement. "I'm sure she wasn't going to do that. Well, she might pull it off, but she won't eat it." Komui added in reassurance, noticing Maria's face lose all of its color.
"Who was that- that thing?"
"That," Komui chuckled "was the Head Nurse, we sent you to the infirmary, after you fainted. Why did you faint after using your Innocence?"
"It uses a lot of power and… I hadn't eaten in a while, before I came here." The teasing mood soured as she said it.
Komui was silent not knowing what to say. He decided to tell Jerry to feed her extra, later.
"Well, I still need to examine your Innocence, so why don't you accompany me to my lab and I will study it."
Maria found it very odd to have Komui work on her Innocence. It couldn't come off her neck so she had to put her hair up so that Komui could add a clasp. She was very unnerved to hear drills and a cackling of glee, come from behind her. The woman shut her eyes, gritted her teeth, and prayed to God this was not, how she would die.
Once that was done, the mad scientist took it off and held it in his hands studying it. "I think its name will be Seiren, and I see what Hevlaska meant by half of it being gone." He pointed to the deep blue pendant. "The spiral in the center is missing. Who did you give it too?"
The woman slowly said "I know who I gave it to, but he travels around looking for jobs, so I don't know where he is right now. I don't think he would be back in Barthelona because he prefers mining work."
"Barcelona." Interrupted Komui.
"Barthelona, that's what I said." Maria responded losing patience.
Komui, not wanting to upset the Exorcist, asked instead of continuing the argument, "Was the man you gave it to, the same man whom you conceder family?" She nodded not wanting to say anything. Feeling that he had made a mistake in bring the man up, he backtracked to talk about Seiren. "Does it work on how long you sang? Or by who heard you sing? Can you sing anything shorter and get the same effects as last time?" strangely serious he added, "I am asking because you might run out of breath on the battle field."
She cheered up talking about her beloved necklace. "Seiren works by who hears it so I have to be loud. I never thought about shorter song lengths, but I will try to make them shorter, next time."
"Maria, it's getting late, you should sleep."
"Where do I sleep? No one told me."
"I'll show you." The man skipped out of the Science Department, overjoyed at having a legit excuse to skip out on work.
"Here it is, all females in the Order have their own bathrooms attached to the bed room. Make yourself at home." He passed her a key. He turned away and walked to the end of the hall, after Maria went into her room. He stopped and hid when he heard footsteps running towards him. He pulled out his blow dart to knock out Reever. But it wasn't Reever. It was Maria. He stepped out of his hidey-hole, and asked what was wrong, as he quickly hid the blow dart in his lab coat.
"I forgot that I gave my bag to Allen. I need it before I can sleep." She bit her lip. "Will you take me to his room?"
Ten minutes later, they were two floors, three hallways away from where the female Exorcist's room was. When they finally stopped Komui knocked on a door to the far right of the last staircase, the pair had gone down. All they got, as a response was a muffled "Go away"
Maria tried the door, it was unlocked. She grinned and told Komui to go back to the stairs until she said so. He sulked but complied. A short time after she had gone inside, he heard Allen scream and dash out of the room, like a demon was chasing him. The woman calmly walked out behind him like nothing had happened. Allen was trying to hide in a corner as Maria pulled him out of it, while signaling Komui to come back. By the time he got there, Allen was giving Maria her luggage, and was acting normal. Komui told Allen to meet him in his office in the morning. He turned to escort Maria back, but she was already gone.
Maria arrived at her room and put away her few spare clothes in the dresser by the door. She was observing the bathroom and getting ready to take a bath when someone knocked on her door. The woman sighed and went to go get it. Outside her room were two of the Science Department's scientists. The curly haired one said "Hello, Sorry to disturb you at this late hour but we just finished your uniform and were sent to bring it up. I'm Johnny and this is Tup." He gestured at the man behind him, who nodded. "Will you try this on to see if it fits?"
"Sì, call me Maria, and come on in." She went to the bathroom to change. It was a black jacket with a high collar, a black button up silk blouse, and a long black floor length skirt. The skirt had a slit up to the knees. There also were two pairs of black socks that reached her thighs, one pair of boots and one pair of shoes. The woman walked out wearing the uniform. The two men were standing right by the entrance, edging towards the door.
"Miss Exorcist! We shouldn't be in your quarters! It isn't descent." Johnny stuttered. She laughed at the awkwardness they had.
"It's alright, I trust you guys and I can take care of myself. I had to, living with that damn Cross." She added darkly. "By the way, the outfit was perfect but can you make it looser above the waist and the arms less tight and longer?" The men nodded and wrote it down. She ran to the bathroom and gave them the uniform, after changing into the clothes she had on earlier.
Maria wished them good night, locked the door, and finally was able to take her hot, steaming bath.
