A/N: This chapter is in Skye's POV. Enjoy!
Komui had started my exam shortly after my brother's; I was waiting calmly on the exam table swinging my legs in a carefree manner. The exam wasn't anything special though he had me extremely worried when he brought out a drill. Thankfully, it was just a humorous scare tactic, and the exam ended.
"You're in good shape, just as your brother," Komui said as the exam ended.
"We take care of ourselves, and Klaud wouldn't let us get too bad," I responded with a smile.
Komui smiled back as we left the exam room, "We have two more stops before you can get to your room."
"Where to, may I ask?" I questioned as we got into an elevator.
"To meet Hevlaska, then to get you sized for your uniforms," Komui informed me.
"Hevlaska?" I asked. The name was an interesting one, one you don't hear normally. This must be an important person if I had to meet them now. The elevator had stopped and before Komui answered I was taken into the air.
I shrieked as I was taken airborne by the strangest thing I'd ever seen. I tried to move but realized I was being held back, and just before I was about to activate my Innocence, an ethereal feminine voice spoke to me.
"Don't panic child. I'm not going to harm you; I just wish to see your Innocence," she said. "I am Hevlaska."
I calmed down only slightly; I could feel something moving around inside of me and it wasn't painful, just very awkward and not welcoming. I struggled a bit before I heard her speak again. "Synchronization Rate…. 97%..." she said before setting me back down next to Komui. "I didn't mean to frighten you, child. Your Innocence is very unique, just as your twin's."
I looked right at Komui. "You could have warned me about that you know," I scolded him, slapping him lightly on his arm.
"Where's the fun in that?" he laughed as the elevator moved again.
"No more surprises?" I asked wearily, my normal energy knocked down a level.
"No more surprises. I can promise you that much," Komui responded, and I sighed gratefully.
"Uniforms next, I take it?" I asked as we got back off the elevator and I followed Komui down the halls.
Before he could answer we ran into a young male, with long black hair that was tied back in a ponytail. From the way he walked and the expression on his face I could tell he wasn't one to be called friendly. But I needed an energy boost and what better way than to scare people? Before he came into hearing distance I asked Komui who he was.
He laughed lightly. "That's Kanda, another exorcist here, and not a very friendly one to be honest," he told me and I smiled nicely. Komui looked at me funny, "Don't do anything to anger him too much; he might just attack you."
"He'll have to catch me first," I muttered as he came within range. Komui called out to the Japanese male.
"Kanda!" The male stopped and eyed me strangely. "Kanda this is Skye, one of the two new exorcists here," Komui introduced.
"Che," Kanda voiced and was about to walk away when I made my move. I walked up behind him and hugged him around his neck, which made him freeze midstride.
"You know… I always had a thing for the tall, dark, mysterious types," I whispered in his ear before kissing his cheek and proceeded to skip away to where Komui was standing, laughing hysterically. When I reached him he started leading the way again, still laughing. I never did look back to check Kanda's reaction.
Komui was starting to lead us back to where I remembered Allen showing us the Science Department. "We're going to the Science Department for this?" It looked identical to the last time I was in here, but taking Allen's weird advice, I didn't move or even look at anything to make sure I didn't touch anything.
"Yep. They do the measuring and everything for your uniform here," Komui explained when as we walked in. "Johnny!" he called out. A curly haired male with glasses appeared.
"Can we fit her for a uniform?" Komui asked this Johnny.
"Sure thing, Supervisor," came the answer. "We can show her to her rooms when we're done if you like, so you can go back to the paper work you need to sign."
Komui sighed. "Can a guy get a break around here really?" he whined before turning to leave, knowing that he wouldn't be able get out of this. I laughed lightly as I turned from watching him leave to the male in front of me who was holding a measuring tape now. Where he got it from in such a short amount of time was beyond me.
"Hmmmm… What style would fit you?" He asked more to himself as I noticed a few others stand around us.
"Perhaps a uniform like Lenalee's?" someone asked.
I looked around. "Um… there's different styles?" I asked. I had only seen males uniforms so far and the one that Klaud wore, which was more than fine by me.
"Oooohhh yes! Long jackets, short jackets, skirts, pants, and different kinds of boots," Johnny rambled on.
"…Do I get a choice or do you just make one?" I asked curiously with a smile.
"You tell us what you are most comfortable in while you're fighting," Johnny answered with a strange smile.
"Hmmmmm…." I thought with a smile.
About fifteen minutes later I was walking into my room that Johnny had been nice enough to show me. Before leaving he told me that Roan's room was next door. "Thank you!" I called out, taking a moment to look around.
The room was nothing special, a plain bed, a small desk, a dresser and a small bookshelf was placed around the room. I noticed the suitcase I had when we arrived was sitting at the foot of the bed. Picking it up, I rested it on the bed and pulled out some new clothes to wear. Pulling out a simple black tank top and a black plain short pleated skirt, I went to wash up a bit before changing clothes. I donned my thigh high, golden yellow leather boots my mother had made for me just before she died, boots I always wore and even fought in; they were high-heeled, making me at least half a foot taller than my normal 5'1".
Once I was cleaned up and changed, I went to my brother's door and knocked on it. When I didn't hear an answer I tried to open it slightly. It was unlocked and as I opened it I noticed him sleeping lightly on his bed. I walked in anyways and closed the door behind me. Walking up to his bed I laid a hand on his bare shoulder. "Roan," I muttered as I shook him gently. He woke with a start, and after recognizing me, he hid his face in his pillow.
"Wake up, sleepy head!" I said as I pulled my hand back and sat on his bed.
"Don't wanna," he muttered to his pillow.
"I'll never understand how you can sleep so much," I muttered looking away. I felt the bed shift as he sat up, noticing the uniform folded nicely on the far side of his bed.
"You didn't have to get measured for a uniform?" I asked looking at it.
"Hm? No, it was already in my room," he told me as he ran his fingers through his spiky black locks.
"Ah! What the crap?! I had to get measured, but at least I got to pick my uniform out," I smiled looking at him. "And you'll have to wait to see what it looks like," I added sticking my tongue out at him. He just shrugged at the same time a knock on sounded on his door.
I looked at Roan for a second before getting up and opening the door to a young girl with short hair and had on an exorcist uniform. Looking at her face I couldn't help but notice she reminded me of Komui. Well he has a sister if I'm not mistaken, perhaps this is her.
"Hi! Sorry to interrupt. I'm Lenalee and I was coming to see if you two wanted to come to the cafeteria for dinner?" the girl voiced. So I was right, I thought.
"Food… doesn't sound half bad," I muttered and looked behind me at Roan who was now standing, still shirtless from his sleeping. "What you think brother?" I asked.
"Sure," he muttered, going to grab a shirt; I looked back with a smile which soon died when I saw the look the girl was giving Roan. Hmmm so she likes what she sees, does she, I thought as I moved in front of her eye sight.
"We'll be there in a few. I remember how to get there from when Allen showed us," I told her; my normally nice voice was replaced by cold steel. Lenalee seemed to be smart enough to pick up on my tone as she nodded before leaving…
I knew then I wasn't going to like her much… not even a little bit…
