In the morning, Doe rose to the darkness of the room- her room- and stretched. She looked at the clock. The numbers 6:32 were lined in red. Sighing, the pink haired girl stripped the blankets from her body and got to her feet. Because of last night's incident, today would be one of… those days, she decided. One filled with dreadful feelings and the fear of facing the people she knew she had disturbed the night beforehand.
Doe put on her uniform and examined herself in the mirror. A uniform, she thought carefully as she turned, is a sign of unity. A sign that I belong to something. This made her smile a little as she sat down to brush her long, cherry blossom hair. A place to belong. It was something she hadn't experienced in a long time. It sounded... nice.
"Hello there, sweetie pie! What can I get for you today?" said Jeryy, the slick looking chef. "Um... A... Slice of toast and eggs, please." Replied the shy girl. "Aaaaalrighty! Coming right up, sugar plum!" Jeryy flipped his frying pan and returned to the counter several minutes later with her order and a side of fruit. "You have a nice day." He said, winking behind his dark glasses. Doe was amazed at how swiftly he could work. He was definitely talented, and even claimed the ability to make anything and everything. She wondered if maybe Jeryy had some type of special Innocence that allowed him to do this. The young woman timidly took her tray to an empty table away from everyone else, and sat.
"You don't wanna sit there." A voice said. Doe recognised the voice as the light tenor of the man who stopped her from fleeing the Order yesterday. She looked up. "That's where Yuu sits, and you don't wanna mess with him." He flashed a smile. "My name's Lavi. Come on. A girl as cute as you are shouldn't be sitting alone anyway." Doe hesitated. Another tall, dark man, stalked up behind Lavi looking as if he was going to kill him. She stood, suddenly, and grabbed her tray in one hand, and Lavi's arm in the other. "Whoa, hey, I know I'm good looking and all, but you know- Oh. " The redhead chuckled as he was dragged to the table where Lenalee, Allen, and two other exorcists she had yet to meet sat. As she placed herself in her new location, she managed to send a sideways glance towards the one called "Yuu". He didn't look as furious as before, but he seemed to be contemplating something. What was he thinking?
Kanda had no idea who this new onna was, and he wasn't all that interested, to be honest. Whoever she was, she was probably weak. Another ass to save in the middle of battle. As if he would save her. But his eyes just couldn't get enough. He couldn't help himself when staring at the pink hair that reminded the Japanese man of the flowers that bloomed in his homeland, or the timid face with almond eyes the colour of dark chocolate. But a pretty face wasn't going to get him anywhere. He wondered what lay beyond those eyes. Obviously, she was messed up somehow. Something kept her from being friendly and relaxed. What was it?
…Che. As if he even cared.
"Well, I did come from North America, but I've been in Wales for a while." Doe replied carefully to Lenalee's question. "What's it like there?" The dark haired girl asked. "It isn't as beautiful as it is here," Doe said, "but the natives are very wise. They have taught me many great things." She remembered the elders, and what they thought of her Innocence. They had treated her with immense respect, and taught her of the complex destiny she held. Complex? She still did not understand completely, however, she made a promise to herself that she would go forth. She would conquer this "complex destiny" of hers, and find something to fight for. "That's awesome!" Lenalee exclaimed. Doe nodded and glanced at Yuu again. Lenalee followed her eyes. "Oh, don't mind Kanda. He can be a little grumpy sometimes, so you really shouldn't take whatever he did to heart." The kind female explained. "Yeah, don't worry about him. Right now we should go check on your Innocence. What did you say you could do, again?" Lavi asked. She smiled, as the newly found Innocence accommodator enjoyed the alliance she had formed with both her power, and the Earth to create fantastic things.
As she was escorted by her new friends to the Medical Section, Doe wondered what they had done to her Innocence. "They" promised not to hurt it, and she was sensible enough to trust them. They were, after all, an organisation centred around Innocence. However, she was still nervous. When they arrived, she was surprised to see that the Innocence had been extracted from the small penjing she had carried with her everywhere before, and was injected into two green, glowing rings big enough to fit her upper arms. "Hello there, Doe. As promised, your plant remains unharmed. Also, as you can see, we have implanted your Innocence into these bands for you to wear. When activated, well, nature will be at your mercy, as it has always been. I trust you will take great care of this set, as it was chosen specifically for you by God Himself." Chief Komui gestured to the two round bands on the table. They glowed even brighter as Doe moved closer to them. "Go on, try them on." And she did.
And at that exact moment, a number of things happened. A great light flashed inside the room, causing everyone to fall and shield their eyes. A certain brown eyed female fell as well, but for a different reason. Nothing but darkness clouded her vision. He was back.
The man.
The man with the wide smile.
