Okay update time~

Starting next week I will be posting new chapters ever late Friday/early Saturday. Why? Because I keep typing and I'm sure it's quite annoying to get about 2 updates a week (though some may find it nice) and I don't have too much to do when I'm home. I have no internet, and the weekend is the only time I can post stories. So this week will be a new chapter since Friday/Saturday I will be in New York for a concert. So here is the newest chapter~ Enjoy!

All characters belong to Katsura Hoshino~

"Hey, there you are!" Allen sighed with relief. He ran up to Lenalee who was just now walking through the gates of the Black Order. Her face showed a bit more of an expression unlike how she left.

Lenalee stopped walking when she saw Allen and smiled at him. "Were you looking for me? I thought you knew I had a day off." she said. Allen tilted his head in confusion. "Lenalee, you ran off without saying anything. We all thought you tried to run away. You never said anything about taking a day off-"

"As I said, I took a day off." that smile never left her face.

Allen frowned. "Lenalee are you okay? Why did you 'take a day off'?"

"Because I needed it."

"Where were you?"

"I was in town."

"Doing what?"

"Spending time with a...friend." she smiled.

Allen stared at her curiously. Something was up. Although she seemed happy, Allen couldn't help but feel like something was wrong. Whether something happened on her "day out", or something was going to happen. He let out a small sigh and smiled. "Well all that matters is that you're back!"

Lenalee smiled and nodded. "Let's go to the cafeteria. I want to see the others." she said. Allen nodded and walked with her to the cafeteria. They entered the giant room seeing many other Exorcists along with Finders.

They all gathered at their own table eating and chatting with friends and partners. Lenalee and Allen took their seat at a table where Lavi was sitting. "Hey Lenalee! Where were ya?" he asked with food in his mouth.

Lenalee giggled at him, "I was just out that's all. Where's...Kanda?" she asked looking around. Lavi swallowed his food and shrugged. "I dunno," he said, "I think he is out on a mission or something. Apparently Noah have been showing up in places and we're being sent out to check it out."

Lenalee thought for a moment. Noah? Could they be out for Innocence? But what about Tyki? She stood there thinking. Could their little 'date' have been planned from the start? Or was their meeting really just coinidence? Did he plan to kill her? Or did he really...like her?

She couldn't tell and the thought of it bugged her. She actually thought she was befriending a Noah, though, in her mind she knew that wouldn't be true. It would be too good to be true. Or maybe she was over thinking it...

"Lenalee, you okay?"

She snapped out of it looking down at Allen and Lavi. "O-oh! Yes, sorry I was just thinking is all." she forced a smile. Allen looked at each other and shrugged. "Alright, well you want something to eat?" Allen asked her. The girl shook her head. "No, I'm not. I already ate." she said sitting down.

"How is the master doing~?"

"Eh?" Tyki looked up to see Wisely standing behind him. Tyki had gotten bored he was laying on his bed the opposite direction, his head dangling from the edge of his bed.

"How'd you get in here?" he asked.

Wisely pointed at the wide open door. "The door was unlocked. What are you doing? This is unusual for the master to position himself like this." he pondered. Tyki just looked at him with a bored expression. "Don't call me 'master' it's weird. I have a name."

Wisely frowned. "Sorry, it's a habit Joyd."

"That's not my name either."

"It isn't? I thought that was your Noah name."

"I don't go by that name. My name is Tyki. Don't you know our real names?"

"I thought your Noah name was your real name. Sorry."

Tyki sighed and sat up. "It's not a problem. But call me Tyki, not...whatever you called me before that."

"Joyd?" Wisely asked.

"Yeah," he grumbled, "that. So what do you want?"

Wisely sat on the edge of Tyki's bed. "Well I decided to see some of my fellow Noah is all. I don't see much of you. I won't be long I'm being sent off to find an Exorcist."

Tyki looked at Wisely curiously. "An Exorcist? Who?" he asked. He was curious if Wisely was being sent after the girl too. But why him? "Kanda Yuu." he said. Tyki let out a small relieved sigh. "Ah, alright. Good luck with him." he laughed a bit. He knew how Kanda was.

Wisely looked at Tyki tilting his head. "Why does the master- Tyki- laugh at his name?" Tyki looked at Wisely and just shook his head. "You're just in for something fun." he said. Kanda is stubborn. He won't go down easily, if the kid is supposed to kill him.

"Well actually," Wisely said, "I'm not supposed to kill him. Just mess with his mind for a little while is all."

Tyki glared at Wisely. How did he know what he was thinking? Oh, "You read minds. I forgot about that." he mumbled. How irritating was that? Wisely glanced at Tyki. "I didn't mean to. I don't usually read fellow Noah minds. I respect peoples' privacy." he smiled innocently.

"Yeah, sure." Tyki rolled his eyes.

It had been a few weeks since Tyki had went out to seek Lenalee Lee. Wisely was sent off to play with Kanda's mind and the twins had been out of Tyki's ass for a while. Thank god.

He decided to take a walk around town since his mission had been boring. He wasn't sure when the girl was going to be sent out on a mission, and most likely she was going to be with her friends, especially that Allen boy. The boy Tyki couldn't stand most, yet he couldn't not think of.

Tyki walked down the street at night time. It was always a ncie sight at night, the summer nights always were the most beautiful. Tyki loved them so much, even as a kid. He would remember the nights where he and his brother Cyril would walk around town looking into the sky. He remembered his brother holding his hand keeping them close together so they wouldn't separate.

The starts twinkling to bright in the midnight sky. Once Tyki could recall seeing a shooting star. It amazing him as a child and his brother. The town was always silent at night unless it was a big town full of people. Luckily they had always picked the smaller ones to stay in, the ones with less people to stare at them.

Tyki stopped walking when he came to a gate. Through the gate was a nice sized mansion surrounded with a beautiful garden (just like his brothers). Tyki stared at it for a little while and sighed. He walked away heading off to the woods. There he kept walking till he came to a small pond.

He brought himself to sit down on the ground staring into the water. He could see so much life in the pond. The fish swam around and he swore he saw a turtle. He lay down against the grass looking into the sky. The stars bright and twinkling like he always remembered them to.

Something caught his eye. A bright light shot across the sky. At first glance he thought it was a shooting star, but no, there was something different. Stars weren't a bright green, were they?

Not that Tyki could remember.

He was right about it not being a normal star, because it came towards him now but he didn't budge. He was too distracted by thinking of what it could be. Suddenly the light got brighter and more closer, he could see a figure.

The figure came at him and now Tyki phased throught he ground and the 'star' hit the ground. Tyki came up through the ground behind whatever it was and stared at it. You've got to be kidding me.

"Lenalee Lee." Tyki muttered to himself. The girl stood up as if nothing had happened. She didn't notice Tyki at all. "Where am I?" she asked herself. She turned around looking at her surroundings. Suddenly she stopped as she saw Tyki sticking halfway out of the ground. His legs were glowing a light purple as the rest of them were in the ground.

"W-whoa! T-T-Tyki?" she stumbled back.

Tyki stared at her pulling himself out of the ground. "So we meet again. How unusual." he smiled. That smile again. Lenalee stared at him. "D-did I hit you?" she frowned.

Tyki stared at her. "Uh, no. I got out of the way in time." he said.

"What are you doing here?"

"I should ask you the same."

"I asked f-first."

He sighed. "So you did. I guess I mustn't be rude and I should answer you."

Lenalee nodded. "Yes, you should. So go on."

Tyki laughed a bit. "I was just on a walk."

"At night?" she asked him suspiciously.

"Yes. Is that a problem?"

"Well, no. It's just strange that of all times to go out, you decide night."

"Well then tell me, why are you out here at night?"

Lenalee glared at him. "Well, I was looking for something is all."

Tyki raised a brow. "Really? And what do you expect to find out here in the woods? At night?"

"W-well..I was looking for something. There, okay? I don't need to explain myself completely."

"True. But I'm curious. Why don't you tell me?"

Lenalee stared at him then looked down. "Well, I was looking for something. I was looking for possible Innocence..but it was a false alarm." she said a bit embarrassed.

Tyki stared back at her for a second. "Ah, well that sucks. Better luck next time then eh?" he said. He didn't really care about finding Innocence. Only unless he was assigned to grab it and destroy it. He really just didn't care for it.

Lenalee realized that she was on the ground. Quickly she brought herself off and dusted off her uniform. "Well Tyki what are you doing? Were you out to get something on your 'walk'?" she eyed him.

Tyki shook his head. "Nah, just out enjoying the view." he said. He let his hands reach into his pocket pulling out a pack of cigarettes. He pulled out a lighter in his other hand after taking out one and began to light it.

Lenalee watched him in disgust. "How can you even touch those things? They're disgusting!" she frowned. Tyki didn't look at her, "It's a bad habit. One of many." he muttered. He put the lighter away and took a deep inhale, then slowly exhaling a puff of smoke. "Ah, death sticks." he joked.

The female Exorcist continued to watch him in disgust. "They can kill you, you know!" she growled. Tyki shrugged. "Eh, I won't worry about that." he smiled at her.

She walked up to him, "Put it out! It's disgusting. Nobody likes a smoker!" she pouted. Tyki stared down at her in confusion. "Are you really asking me to put out my cigarette? When we're outside?"

"No, I'm telling you to put it out. We're in the woods and just one simple mistake you could set the place on fire!"

Tyki just stared at her. Was she serious?

"And if I say no?"

Lenalee smiled evilly at him and within an instant, snatched the pack of cigarettes out of his hands. "Then I'll throw them away." she said.

Tyki narrowed his eyes. "If you do that then you buy me more. Those things aren't cheap girl!" he growled. He didn't like it when his things were taken from him, especially so easily. "Give them back."

"Nope."

"Give me them or I take them."

"No."

"You're really calling for a death wish."

"You'd attack me for cigarettes? You really are addicted! You need help."

"I do not. Now give them back."

"No."

Tyki started to get more and more irritated. He wanted his smokes back. "Give them to me," he demanded, "Or I will take them from you."

"And how do you plan on doing that?" Lenalee teased. She held his smokes in the air swinging them around, taunting. Tyki looked furious. But suddenly a small grin spread across his face. "I guess I'll have to take them from you."

Lenalee stared at him for a second, then stuck her tongue out playfully. "Come and get them~"

Tyki sighed but kept his grin. Suddenly, he fell through the ground, that purple light surrounding his body. Lenalee looked around to try and find him but he was nowhere to be seen. Darn, where did he go?

She stood there keeping her guard up looking at every direction. Up, down, left, right, any direction she could turn. Though as she turned to her left no sound was made but the sudden sound of a male chuckling in her ear startled her. She quickly looked to her right only to have her face meet with Tyki's.

He wore that same grin.

"Got'cha," Tyki chuckled. Suddenly, his lips met with hers and he kissed her firmly. Lenalee stood there, shocked. She hadn't the slightest clue on what was going on. She felt his hand creep up her arm and snatched the pack of cigarettes out of her hand.

Lenalee finally came to mind, realizing what was happening. He was kissing her?

Lenalee panicked and without thinking clearly, she bit at his bottom lip hard. Tyki pulled back quickly. "Ouch!" he said as he backed away. He brought his finger to his lip and wiped away some blood. "That hurt."

Lenalee stared at him, her chest heaving in and out. "Y-you..k-kissed me..!" she said. Her face was a bright red and her eyes were wide. She didn't look too happy. "W-why did y-you do that?"

Tyki smiled. "I told you I was going to take them from you, and so I did."

Lenalee glared at Tyki angrily. "B-by kissing me?"

Tyki frowned. "Did I offend you? I didn't think you'd be so angry."

"You didn't th-think? T-Tyki!"

"What? What's the problem?"

Lenalee kept her eyes angrily on him, then looked down her face bright red. "T-that..was my first kiss!" she admitted.

Tyki stared at her. "Oh," he said. He frowned a bit.

"And you took my first kiss! A Noah!"

"That was your first kiss?"

"Y-yes!"

"How could that be? You're so pretty."

Lenalee glared up at him. "W-what...?"

"I'm surprised. You're so pretty, I figured you'd been with at least someone. I didn't realize."

The girl just stared at him. "N-no, never. I never had the thought or chance..."

"I apologize then."

"W-well..sorry isn't enough!"

"It's not like I can do much to apologize for a kiss."

Lenalee turned away from him. "W-well...don't ever do it again!"

Tyki shrugged. "Alright then. I won't."

Lenalee stood in place staying away from him. She was upset.

Tyki could tell that she was, though he could admit that in his mind he was not sorry. He actually enjoyed that kiss even when she bit him. Though he wouldn't be so inapropriate to the girl. She was clearly upset and this was a better chance to get closer to her. The more closer he was, the higher chance he was capable of snatching her up.

He stared at her then finally walked up to her. "I am sorry." he said touching her shoulder. Lenalee ignored him. She was angry. But then again, that kiss...

Tyki kept his hand on her shoulder, he didn't budge. And Lenalee just stood there. He began to wonder if she was alright. He started to worry if she'd actually gone into shock.

But then she turned her head to look at his hand on her shoulder. "I-it's alright." she said lowly. She couldn't stay mad at him, though she did feel ashamed of letting a Noah make a move like that on her. But she couldn't help but feel the urge for another.

Why?

She knew she liked it, she knew it. But she wanted to deny it. Though it was something she couldn't. Suddenly she turned her body to face him. Maybe if I kissed him back, I could call it 'revenge'...

Tyki watched her curiously. She looked up at him, but she couldn't bring herself to do it. She couldn't. What if the Order found out? What if brother found out.

Lenalee began to slowly back away but was stopped when she felt arms wrap around her. Tyki had pulled her into a hug and for some reason Lenalee didn't refuse it. She hugged him back slightly and began to bring her hands up to his chest. For some reason her instinct told her not to touch there, but yet she did, curious as to why she thought she shouldn't.

Her hands crept up farther up his chest, and through the loose dress shirt she could see something, on his chest. Her eyes narrowed as she tried to get a better look. She was able to finally see what they were: terrible looking scars.

Lenalee's curiosity dragged her further into getting closer to them. Why didn't she just stop when she saw them? She wanted to touch them, to see what they felt like. She didn't know why, she was just so curious.

Her hand managed to reach into Tyki's loose shirt, and she let her finger trace part of the rugged looking marks on his chest. For some reason she felt like she knew how he'd gotten them. They seemed painful.

Though she would never realize how painful they hurt.

Not until she was shoved away immediately.

Her body was pushed away and she felt herself hit the ground within a second. Confusion hit her like a ton of bricks and she looked up to find Tyki. What had happened?

"Tyki?" she asked looking around. There he was, far away from her in front of her. He stood there, hand clutched to his chest, to the spot she was so curious about. "w-whats wrong?"

Tyki stood there, silently. His hand clutched at his chest tightly and she could hear him breathing heavily even after being pushed so far away.

What did she do?

Tyki slowly looked up at her with murderous eyes, and Lenalee felt as if her legs went paralyzed.

Tyki was in pain.

HAHA CLIFFHANGER!
