Possession Ch. 2 The Journey

I awoke with a start. I just had the craziest dream that I had wings and that I was to become something called an "Exorcist." I should go tell daddy of my dr-…Why does it feel like I'm being carried? Then all the things from last night flooded into my mind. So…it's not a dream. I felt sadness once again dig into my heart. Daddy…You are gone…You're in heaven with Momma. Then I remembered what Kanda told me last night, or at least I hope it was last night. What you can do is fight in their honor by coming with us and becoming an Exorcist. Well with that in mind, I should let them know I'm awake. I barely opened my right eye to survey my surroundings. Above me was Tiedoll…So that's who is carrying me. My God! How long has he been carrying me? I quickly opened my eyes, though I was unaware of me trying to get out of Tiedoll's arms. I finally felt the air rush out of my lungs as Tiedoll pulled his arms towards himself, which in turn made it impossible for me to move. "Calm yourself child, you are in no danger." I heard his smooth voice command. I let myself relax and Tiedoll set me on the ground. I passed a glance at all of them and asked quietly. "How long was I unconscious? Justice told me I would be once she let go of control…but for how long?"

Tiedoll smirked. "Oh, only all night."

My eyes went wide and I bowed in apology. "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to be a bother, sir."

I then felt his hand on my head. "It's, honestly, no big deal my young apprentice."

I looked back up to him, my eyes still wide. "A-Apprentice? Me?"

Tiedoll chuckled. "Yes, you have quite the talent young lady." I smiled brightly and nodded in excitement. I'm actually going to become an Exorcist!

Tiedoll smiled and nodded for us to keep moving. We all then continued on our journey to the Black Order. Tiedoll was leading, Marie was behind him, then me, and Kanda was in the back of our little group. As I walked Justice spoke to me. Lyna, I made a necklace last night, I thought you would like it. A-A necklace? I brought my hand up to my neck to feel the string of the necklace, and sure enough, it was there. Pulling the rest of it out from under my shirt, I looked at it. The sight of the two rings nearly made me choke. It was my parent's rings…It hurts to look at them and yet…they are oddly comforting. I gripped them hard in my hand and felt a single tear fall. I will miss them, but I have to move forward.

I felt a hand roughly push me forward. I turned to snap at Kanda, but he just held up his hand before I could utter a sound. "You stopped walking Ōkī Kuchi. Keep moving." He said with narrowed eyes and nodded towards the other two men. I felt my cheeks redden a tiny bit in embarrassment. "Right…" I muttered under my breath and walked quickly to catch up. Damn that stupid Sasu. He's such a jerk. As the thought of the Sasu came to mind I felt myself scowl. I hate him.

.0.

Ugh…Three weeks and we aren't there yet. I was only in Ireland. Does it take that long to get to England? Patience little one, we shall be there soon. I hope so. I'm so tired of walking. I think my legs might fall off. Right now we had set up a camp for the night. Unfortunately there were only three tents since General Tiedoll wasn't expecting to acquire a new Exorcist. Which meant one of us would have to share a tent. With no hesitation, it was decided that Kanda and Marie would share a tent and I could have the last one. All of us were eating supper. To my right was Kanda, to my left was Marie, and in front of me was Tiedoll. Our camp was situated in a little circle. My tent was behind me, Marie and Kanda's tent was to the left, and Tiedoll's was to the right. In the center was the fire.

Once we were done eating Kanda stood up and announced. "I will take the first watch."

I raised my hand while saying, "I'll take second watch." Marie claimed third and Tiedoll took forth. Once settled all of us, except Kanda, retired to their tents.

Once inside my own tent I plopped down on my sleeping mat and sighed. I ran my finger through my long red tresses and once again sighed. I'm too young for this. I feel older than a nine year old. Grabbing my pillow, I shoved my face into it and screamed. I felt angry and felt like crying though I don't know why. You are young child. You are losing your childhood right now. Is that what you are upset about, little bird? Don't call me that Justice. Only my parents can call me that and you aren't them so never call me that. I want to make that clear. I'm sorry Lyna. I was mistaken that you wish to be called that. Glad we made that clear then… Lyna, perhaps you should write in your diary. I did grab it for you. Perhaps I should.

I threw the pillow aside and went for my suitcase. Opening it, I began to rummage around in it till I found my diary. Opening it up to the next clean page I put the book down to grab a piece of charcoal. Now having what I needed, I began to write.

3/10/1876

Well it's been a while since I've last written an entry…So much has happened in the past week. Mom dying…Then dad…Me learning that I have Innocence and that I was chosen by Justice so that it can help in this fight ,that I didn't even know about, between the Exorcists and the Millennium Earl and his Akuma. I still don't understand most of it but, I am nine after all.

Even though I just started traveling with Tiedoll and the others. They've been so kind…Except for that Sasu…He is kinda cute though…No! Bad Lyna! Bad! You can't think of that Sasu like that! What's wrong with you! He's a jerk. All he does is yell at me, tease me, and call me Ōkī Kuchi. He's infuriating. How can anyone stand him? What happen to him that made him like that…Unless he was always like this. Perhaps I will ask Marie about that tomorrow. Anyway! On to next topic!

My wings…I can't describe what it's like having them. Good? Bad? Unsure? Problobly the last one. And the powers. I think they're cool. Justice says I have more powers than just Burning Fury, I just have to explore them. Justice told me that when I get more synchronized with it I will unlock new powers. I don't know what to think about that either…I think that's enough for tonight…Tiedoll said we should make it to Headquarters in a few days…I'm nervous and excited at the same time.

Well…Seeya diary…Till my next entry!

I sighed and but the book down. Just then Kanda walked in and looked at me with a scowl. "Time for you take watch, don't fall asleep. Got that?" I narrowed my eyes and picked up my diary and set it on my suitcase. I then walked over to Kanda where he stood with his arms crossed. I stuck my tongue out at him and pushed him out of the way with my hand.

When I looked at the fire, it was a small red glow. It was a pretty glow. A you can stare at it forever glow, just thinking. I sat down and looked at it, my mind began to wander to my parents. Unconsciously my hand started holding on to the rings around my neck. I was so absorbed in my thoughts, I didn't notice Kanda not going to his tent.

Kanda's POV

Kanda looked back to Lyna as she sat there holding the rings around her neck. He still didn't understand why it felt as though he knew her. Making sure she wasn't watching he went inside of her tent. He saw the book from earlier. He walked over to it for closer inspection. He set Mugen on the ground and picked up the book. It was a diary not a book. Was she writing in it, or looking at old entries? Maybe this has something in it that can give me a clue about why I seem to know her already. He took the diary and put it inside of his Exorcist uniform. Picking up Mugen he looked out of the tent. Lyna was still looking at the embers and her back was to him. He looked at the feathered masses that protruded from her back as the fluttered as he heard a small sob come from the small girl. He felt his heart wanting him to go to her. But why? She's just a stupid girl. It was if his mind and heart where at war with each other. One wanting him to go to her and the other wanting him to leave. He clenched his fists and teeth. This never happens! Why is it happening now!? He needed to get to his and Marie's tent. If he stays here his heart will win. He won't let that happen for a stupid girl. Angrily, but quietly he made his way to the tent. He casted one last glance towards Lyna. She was gripping an item, what he assumed where the rings, so harm it had drew blood. It was slowly dripping onto the ground. He once again forced the want to go to her down and quickly turned away.

Once inside he looked at the dark area and saw Marie's sleeping form. He grabbed a candle that was on the Marie's suitcase and lit it. Placing it on the opposite side of Marie, he then took the diary out from his uniform. He opened it to a random page. He then looked at the date. 3/10/1876…That is today.

Kanda read what she had written till he came to someone called Sasu and a scribbled out part. He furrowed his eyes at who she was referring to then it hit him like a smack to the face.

"'Not bad Ōkī Kuchi.'

She smirked at him and pushed herself away from the wall. "'Same to you Sasu.'"

I'm such an idiot! Why did I not get the second after I read it?! His heart told him the answer put he pushed those feelings down. Instead he tried to understand what she had scribbled out. He is kinda cute though. Why did that sentence make his heart jump? Why did it make his cheeks red? Why does he even bother to have any sort of feeling towards this girl? What is she to him?

He sneered at the diary. He didn't want to read anymore. He extinguished the candle and threw the diary aside. He started undoing the buttons to his uniform and it fell to the ground, where it left his bare chest. He brought his hands behind his head and grabbed the hair tie and pulled it loose, allowing his hair to fall around his shoulders. He then laid down onto his back sighing as he hit the ground. He knew he would not sleep, not with all this on his mind anyway.

Lyna's POV

I felt my tears subside so that I could actually see again. How long had I been crying? I looked down at my hand and saw little drops of blood here and there. Great, that's just great. Just then I saw a shadow move into Kanda and Marie's tent. I got up quietly and walked up to the tent. Looking inside I saw Kanda sitting up, reading a book. Wait…that just isn't any book…That's my diary!

I felt my face redden with anger. How dare he? Those are my personal entries. Why does he want to read them in the first place? What does he want to know? I was about to storm in there but I saw his cheeks redden the slightest but then saw him sneer and throw my diary onto the ground. He then proceeded to take of his uniform and let his hair down. I felt my cheeks redden at the sight. I then saw him lay on the ground but he did not close his eyes to sleep. It didn't even look like he was going to sleep. Taking my chance I walked inside the tent and up to him. He looked at me with wide eyes for a moment before his mind understood what had just occurred. His eyes narrowed at me and he sneered out in a whisper. "What do you want Ōkī Kuchi?"

I narrowed my own eyes and answered just as venomously and quietly. "What do I want? I want my diary back you baka Sasu." I put my hand on my hips and fluttered my wings as I glared at him. I looked to where he threw the diary and walked over and picked it up. I also grabbed his arm and started to drag him with me too. He was a lot stronger than me but, he just followed me till we were out of the tent. Only then did he yank back his arm. Just as he yanked his arm away did I turn and hit him upside the head with my diary.

I saw, as if a switch had turned on, a menacing fire in his eyes as he held his jaw. Reaching out he tried to grab for me but I just jumped back. He sneered again and lunged at me. Just before he hit me, as if it were in slow motion, I flew of the ground. I watched him with a mischievous smirk on my face he quickly rolled of the attack and turned to me again. Running back to his tent for a moment, he came back out with his sword. I laughed. "What are you gonna do with that Sasu?" I taunted.

He smirked. "This." Was all he said. He then unsheathed his blade and activated his Innocence while saying. "First Illusion: Netherworld Insects." Just then all this worm things came at me. I flew higher to doge them but they just followed. I yelped as one of them ran through my wing, making me fall to the ground. Use, Healing Touch Lyna. It will help. I smirked and brought my hands to my injured wing and whispered. "Healing touch." I felt my Innocence activate and send waves of energy to my hands, my Innocence looking just like Burning Fury but in place of the red fire were green orbs. I felt the wounds begin to mend and soon I was in the air again. Kanda had set another wave of those things towards my again but, this time I was ready. "Burning Fury." I called and then the orbs changed to fire. I smiled. I threw fireballs at the creatures and when there was nothing I rocketed towards Kanda, who had his blade up and ready to block my attack.

Just at the right moment when Kanda swung his blade, did I discharge Burning Fury and tackled Kanda to the ground. Kanda, completely caught off guard, dropped Mugen and was pinned by me. Once he regained himself he began to fight for dominance. He was still stronger than me so he flipped us and raised his fist to punch me but, as his hand came down to deliver the blow, another hand caught his own. It was Marie. Behind me was Tiedoll. They pulled Kanda and me away from each other. Kanda was still struggling against Marie to let him go so he could finish it and I was no different. Both of us continued to yell at each other.

"You stupid Ōkī Kuchi! This is all your fault!"

"My fault! You're the one who looked at my diary!"

"I was going to put it back!"

"You shouldn't have taken it in the first place!"

"Don't tell me what I should and shouldn't do!"

"I was my item that you took!"

"Che, you are so annoying! No wonder your parents died. They didn't want to take care of a baka like you!"

That did it. I felt as though I had been stabbed in the heart and the blade was twisting painfully. I went lax in Tiedoll's arms and I felt tears start falling down my face with full force. I was losing control. Justice knew this too and was slowly taking control, even though I didn't know, my soul was letting it take control. Justice was filling that hole in my soul with comforting words of a mother comforting her child.

With my head still bowed and breathed out heavily while growling out. "That's not true." The eyes on my back were moving up my back and I didn't even know it. None of us did. Anger flooded through me. I snapped my head up and focused my eyes, which were now glowing blue, and shouted at Kanda. "That's not true!" It was if I had found new energy to fight. Justice had taken control and yet I'm still conscious. Let us be one. Was all it said. I began once more, struggling to get out of Tiedoll's grasp and this time, I was winning. Tiedoll's arms finally gave out and I landed on my hands and knees. When my fiery blue eyes looked up to Kanda I finally saw a hint of fear. Why did that hurt my heart too? Why is he afraid? Did I take this too far? Yes, I did…But why did he have to say those mean things? Because we were angry and didn't know what we were saying. Justice stop this. Stop scaring Kanda! I think I made Justice mad but non-the-less it obeyed my command while adding. Y-Yes Lyna. And that was it. The blue glow left my eyes and the eyes returned to my back, even if I was still unaware.

Tears pricking my eyes once more I got up and ran to Kanda and hugged slash clung to him. I then begged. "Please, Kanda! Please forgive me! I'm sorry! I didn't know what happened, first I admitted defeat but then…then that happened. I'm sorry, so sorry Kanda." I cried.

I soon felt his arms surround me and heard him whisper. "I'm sorry too, and you are forgiven." I looked up to him with tear stained eyes and smiled a bit. Letting go of Kanda I turned to Tiedoll and Marie, he had let go of Kanda and walked over to Tiedoll during our little…moment, and bowed apologetically. "I'm sorry to you as well, Mr. Tiedoll and Marie. I should not have acted that way."

I saw Tiedoll come up to me and give me a bear hug and said. 'No need to apologize, my dear. I had watched it all. It was a very good fight, or sparring match. Everything else, was not your fault." I returned the hug. Marie, too, hand walked over. He didn't say anything but he did ruffle my hair and I giggled. We also decided to get moving as well. I noticed while we were walking, that Kanda had started walking next to me and that made me happy. I also noticed that Justice had not said anything at all since last night. Perhaps it is angry at me. I don't know why though.

A few days later I'm standing in front of Headquarters and I had a sudden want to be a turtle so I could hide in my shell…
