"Get your lazy ass out of bed Rabi." A scruffy old voice awakened the sleeping succsesor who was trying to ignore Bookman. Still Lavi stayed put acting as if he had not heard Bookman.
"Get out of bed, Lavi." Bookman rephrased sending electric waves down Lavi's back. Slowly Lavi sat up stretching his arms above his head yawning. Right, Rabi is my new name. It's hard to get used to after responding to Lavi for three years. Lavi thought as he stretched his muscles.
"You need to get used to your new name." The old man spoke coldly and harshly as he glared at the yawning redhead in front of himself.
"Yeah, yeah." Lavi mumbled throwing the covers off himself. I honestly could care less about my new name. After all I far proffered Lavi as my name, so I will still go as Lavi when you're not around old coot.
"Now that you're up get to work." Bookman spoke harshly as he always did. "I've prepared a list of what I expect done this week, get started." Bookman handed Lavi a wrinkled piece of paper.
"Ok, don't worry I'll get it done." Lavi mumbled grabbing the paper out of Bookman's hand only to put it down on his desk.
"You better, I'll be going know. Get your work done and I might give you a lighter work load next week." Bookman spoke as he walked out of Lavi's room lightly closing the door behind himself leaving Lavi alone.
Lavi had soon made it over to his desk after changing into a clean pair of clothes. He picked up the paper reading what was roughly written down. "Lets see here..." Lavi spoke slipping into his serious face as he sat down in his chair.
- Report the variations of missions at the Black order.
-Report first sight perspectives of the battle field.
-Copy down (word for word) books on Akuma.
-Record Allen Walker's experiences at the Black order. This task will take a fair amount of time so feel free to take more than a few days to complete this.
Lavi read over the list carefully paying close attention to every task he had yet to complete. "Might as well do the easiest on the list first." Lavi sighed seeing how they were all long and unruly tasks. He pulled out a stack of paper from his desk drawer along with a pen.
Lavi sighed getting up from his seat for a brief second, walking over to the book shelf on the side of his room, his picked out five books. Two of which had names in different languages. Taking his seat once again, Lavi flipped open the first book in his stack stopping on a page. After reading the context Lavi wrote at the top of the paper in front of him Mission variations of the Black Order. After writing said down he began to write more below the title looking back to the book occasionally.
Six hours had passed since Lavi had started this report. The wall clock on the side of his room chimed making Lavi sigh as he stretched his arms above his head for a brief second before he brought his attention back to his work. Counting the pages he had written down Lavi sighed in astonishment seeing how he had written twenty pages of text, front and back. "One down, three more to go." Lavi groaned irritated by his work.
"Which should I do next?" Lavi brought his attention back to the list of tasks. "How about I do Allen's next? After all he does interest me so I won't lose interest half way through my work." Lavi talked as if he was reasoning something with himself.
Settling back into his work mode Lavi pulled out huge stacks of notes from his desk letting them fall with a hard 'thump' sound, making the desk quiver from the weight. After organizing the different stacks of notes Lavi moved his previous report to the side of his desk making room for his next task.
Three hours went by with Lavi referring back to different notes. Now having five pages (front and back) done Lavi decided to give himself a short well deserved break. Pushing his chair away from his desk Lavi stretched his legs out as well as his arms while still sitting. "I wonder if I could read one more entry before I head back to work..." Lavi asked himself pondering the outcome. "Technically I would still be learning about Allen so I guess it would be alright to read just one entry." Lavi grinned due to his own twisted reasoning.
Getting up from his chair Lavi walked over to his desk rummaging through his drawer he pulled out his wooden box, opening it Lavi pulled out Allen's diary. "Lets see here." Lavi mumbled as he sat down on his bed flipping through a couple pages of Allen's diary. "Ah, here we go." Lavi smiled as he began to read the entry.
April 25th, 1887
Dear Diary,
Kanda, Lavi, Bookman and I just got back from the strangest place. It would be a raging blizzard one minute, and the next it there would be hot winds. As it turns out it was innocence, as suspected. Bookman stayed out of all the battles while Kanda, Lavi and I fought. I passed out during out first battle due to being whipped with strong winds while snow buried me. After I passed out Lavi carried me on his back. Yes, it was very nice of him to do so but I have to admit it was a little embarrassing when I woke up to find myself on the back of my new friend. When I did come to my senses I tried to get myself off his back. That didn't turn out very well, I almost knocked him over on top of me while I lost my balance and fell off his back into the snow. Anyway, that aside I feel that the Black Order has really become my home. When we return from missions there is always someone who says "Welcome home!" It just gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside knowing that there are people who care about me. Sorry about the rambling, but I guess you're just gonna have to put up with it considering how I ramble a lot. Well, that's it for now so bye.
Allen Walker-
Lavi just chuckled to himself after reading the entry. "Sounds as if Sprout had a crush on me." Lavi grinned closing the diary wanting to read more but he knew he couldn't. Seeing how he had a lot of work to do he couldn't waste one more second. Placing Allen's diary back in his wooden box and back in his drawer. Afterwards he sat back down at his desk and got back to work.

"God, I thought that training would never end." Allen groaned as he walked in his room flopping down on his bed both physically and mentally tired. "I wonder when we're gonna start back up on our normal missions again instead of training ten to twelve hours a day." Allen sighed rolling over on his side kicking off his boots in the process.
"I should be able to read one more entry from Lavi's journal before I head to bed." Allen sighed sitting up on his bed. He then got up from his bed only to kneel next to it while he rummaged under it, soon afterwards his hand came out with Lavi's journal. Sitting back down Allen sighed in relief flipping through the journal as he laid down making himself comfortable. He stopped on the page he had left off on yesterday and began to read.
April 27th, 1887
Dear Journal,
So many reports... Sorry about not writing in a while but the old panda has been practically burying me in paper work. This may be the only free time I will get for this week or even for the next couple weeks. Anyway, I believe that Allen Walker is the said destroyer of time. Why? Well, I just got back from a mission with him and Kanda. Not only talking to him and hearing his motives but also witnessing him fight is enough evidence for me. However gramps still wants more facts that can help him prove if he is or isn't the destroyer of time. Honestly I believe this boy will make history. And one day or another I will be recording his existence and I will have to remember everyone here along with Allen himself. When I remember my previous 'lives' it feels as if I am watching a movie in my mind. It can be somewhat painful remembering some of these 'lives' and the people in them. But I as a bookman have to push through and throw aside any emotions tied to these experiences. As for they are just ink on paper.
Lavi Bookman. Jr-
Allen just sat baffled at what he had just read. "That's right, we are just nothing but ink on paper to him aren't we?" Allen spoke coldly hating to admit the truth but that's all they were to Lavi, just ink on paper.
Allen sat in silence pondering if he should read another entry or not. Suddenly out of nowhere Timcampy flew in front of Allen's face making the young exorcist jump in surprise letting out a muted yelp. "W-what is it Timcampy?" Allen stuttered a little shaken up. The golden golem flew around Allen's head as if he were trying to catch his attention.
"What's wrong Timcampy?" Allen asked confused by the actions of Timcampy. Landing on Lavi's journal Timcampy stomped his tiny stub of a foot on the page Allen was reading. Allen just sat confused staring mystified by the small creature.
Timcampy let out what was presumed to be a sigh and spined his body around now moving his tiny legs trying to flip the page. "Do you want me to keep on reading?" Allen asked the golem while he tilted his head.
Timcampy fluttered his wings and gave Allen one of his signature creepy grins. "I'll take that as a yes." Allen slightly shuddered from Timcampy's grin. Timcampy then fluttered his wings just enough to lift himself high enough in the air so he could rest on Allen's forehead.
Flipping the page Allen sighed and began to read again.
June 2nd, 1887
Dear Journal,
I am taken back by the kindness focused towards one another here at the black order. Unlike other organizations and battle fields Gramps and I have seen everyone here fights for a reason, a purpose. Lenalee, to protect her friends. Kamui works at the Order to be by his sister's side for support. Kanda, I'm actually not sure... Allen, he fights to save humanity from suffering. In turn he takes all of the pain to protect the people around him. Unlike other places I have seen the Black Order fights without hatred or wrath towards their enemies. They do not wait in excitement for the bloodlust. They all fight for the same cause, to bring salvation. I honestly don't know if I can just think of them as ink on paper anymore.
Lavi Bookman. Jr -
Allen just sat and let out a low chuckle. "Lavi sure changed his mind a lot didn't he?" Allen sighed staring up at the ceiling as he put Lavi's journal down on his lap. "I guess that's what made him Lavi."
- O -
Three months went by with both Allen and Lavi reading each other's diaries. Not all that important of entries were being read. Well, that all changed when they both started to read about Allen's experience in China with Suman and Tyki.
- O -
Lavi sighed sitting down on his bed with allen's diary in hand. He had been looking forward to reading this ll day long. It sounded kind of twisted but it was true. When Lavi started to read he noticed the extensive date change compared. Confused Lavi flipped back one page to see the date written as September 22nd, 1887 he then flipped back to the previous page to see the date written as October 9th, 1887. A little confused by the 18 day spread Lavi read the entry.
October 9th, 1887
Dear Diary,
I know I have not written in a while but I have an excuse. You see Lenalee and I were fighting Akuma when this giant torso part of a body came out from the sky. It seemed like it was the Akuma's target. After trying to protect the creature I learned from Lenalee that it was a fallen one. An exorcist who has betrayed their innocence. And this exorcist turned out to be Suman Dark, one of Lenalee's closest friends. She didn't take it lightly what so ever. Feeling bad we both went to the right side of the fallen one's chest and saw Suman stuck in this weird substance. Then out of nowhere this young girl poped out of the substance screaming for help. I managed to pull her out. However in the process I was sucked in leaving Lenalee to take the girl to the nearest village. After getting out of the quick sand like substance I fought with Suman trying to get him out. In result he bit my hand for some reason or another. It hurt, I have never had experienced pain like having someone bite through your hand literally. Pushing my innocence to it's limit I managed to pull Suman out however once he was out all my efforts were in vain. He had disappeared into a million purple butterflies, yes butterflies.
That is when a Noah called Tyki Myki showed up. I tried to punch him after hearing the horrible things he had done, only resulting in him snapping my wrist. And of course it had to be my left arm that took the blow. It was already screaming in pain but this only made it unbearable. Though I thought that was painful I wasn't aware of how much suffering I would have to go through in the next few minutes. In horror right before my eyes he had ripped my arm right off of my body. That pain was only the beginning. He then shredded it into a million pieces only to take my innocence and crush that as well into tiny dust particles. I screamed for him to stop but he kept going. How I wished to be back on the ship right now with everyone else or even if I could be with Lenalee right now. What happened next terrified me beyond belief. He took what he called 'tease' man-eating butterflies and shoved one into my chest and towards my heart. At that moment everything went black. Not to later afterwards I found myself in the Asian branch of the Black Order. Trying to recover my innocence will take some time but I will make sure I do so. I just wanted to write all of that down before I forget anything about it. I will hopefully recover my innocence and return to the battle field soon. Wish me luck.
Allen Walker-
Lavi just sat stunned, had he really just read that? "That's what really happened to Allen." Lavi still sat shocked by what he had read. "I can't believe that he went through that much pain and suffering in one night."
- O -
Allen dug around under his bed looking for Lavi's journal, seconds later he pulled it out and sat on his bed flipping more than halfway into the book stopping on a page exactly. He chuckled at himself a little amused by how he could just flip right to the page he left off on. He then began to read what looked like somewhat of a short entry.
September 29th, 1887
Dear Journal,
I have just found out some terrible news, Allen Walker was killed by a Noah called Tyki Myki last night. I was shocked to see Tim's memories of the incident. He was brutally killed by having his arm ripped off of his body. For I am a bookman and I should have no feelings but for some reason when we went to the place where it all happened I found a card that was Allen's, it was his ace of spades. I kept it for some reason. And something even more out of character I did was I cried. Why? I don't know. Maybe because I had feelings for Allen? I don't know, but what I do know is that when I finally meet that bastard Tyki Myki I will personally whop his ass and kick the shit out of him! For not only making me soft and causing Lenalee pain but also for the simple reason of killing Allen. He will feel the pain Allen suffered through.
Lavi Bookman, Jr-
Allen blushed slightly after reading this entry. Lavi really cared for him this much? However, he felt horrible for causing Lenalee pain. After thinking about it for a second Allen remembered when he left the Asian branch Lou Fa, Riki, and Shi Fou gave him his deck of cards back. Thinking harder Allen remembered Lou Fa saying that his ace of spades was missing and they made him a new one.
