*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I open my eyes to this familiar scenario…
Somehow, the empty room feels even lonelier…
Even with these incomplete feelings of mine,
I can still feel the world getting farther and farther from me…
Everything turning to ink before melting…
Feeling these eyes not worthy of observing them…
There is no more hope for me…

False

"Waking up yet? Little lost pet…"

Suddenly, 'Lavi's' eyes changes, turning pitch black, as the reversed pentangle appeared on his forehead,

"Che… a damned akuma…"

Kanda unsheathed Mugen, getting ready for the battle that was about to come.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"What are you?"

When Lavi's brain actually processed the information that Tyki, a Noah was carrying him, it had been several seconds since the latter spoke.

"Cat ate your tongue?"

"N-Noah…!"

Lavi's currently overworking brain could only manage to stutter that word before returning to its shocked state.

"Now, that's a little mean, don't you think? For that to be the first thing you say…"

Tyki's mocking tone, faking hurt in it, was what put Lavi's brain functioning again, currently thinking of ways to kill slowly and painfully.
Besides, Tyki seemed to be taking the whole situation as a joke, like when he played poker with Allen in that train… at that time, neither of them thought Tyki would turn out to be one of their most fearsome enemies, a Noah.

Lavi tried to get away from him, but his body wouldn't respond.

"What have you…"

"Oh, the paralyzer? Well, we can't have the pet running away, can we?"

"You…!!"

"Now stay still and get comfortable. It's a long trip."

"…Not as if I have a choice…"

"Hm?"

"…Where are you taking me."

"Well, you'll have to wait and see."

Tyki was seriously getting on Lavi's nerves now. The situation just couldn't get worse. A Noah was taking him who-knows-where, and he couldn't do anything about it. Tyki could crush his heart at any moment he wanted, with that bothersome ability his position as the Noah of pleasure gave him.

"Crush my heart… If only I had one to start with…"

Lavi couldn't help himself from recalling what had happened at that time, when Tyki made his 'tease' eat a part of Allen's heart… He remembered getting really upset about it, to the point of breaking one of the ship's glass windows… And Bookman's reaction…

"Don't be taken in by the war. We are only on the Order's side 'by chance', all for the sake of recording history" (AN/ Looked at the manga for this bit XD)

Those words really crushed him. It felt as if the whole world fell on his shoulders, and it was too much of a burden, to carry it all, to follow that path, to not have a heart.

"Maybe I am a failure… as an exorcist… as a bookman…"

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"As a human…"

The akuma's body exploded as Kanda sheathed his sword after the battle. It had been hard to defeat, but it's transformation ability didn't help it too much against the cold-hearted, hot-tempered, currently really angry, Kanda Yuu.

"Now, to look for that-"

"BAKANDA~!!!!"

Kanda almost lost his balance when he heard the deafening screaming, apparently coming from somewhere right behind him.

"…Moyashi…"

He turned around to see his golem on radio mode, probably contacting that unbearable, short, useless, maddening, stupid-

"What's going on?" Allen's voice interrupted his thoughts, leaving him thinking on more insults for the white-haired exorcist.

"Komui told me he couldn't contact Lavi. Did you break his golem on one of your rage fits?"

"The only thing I feel like breaking right now is your little moyashi head…"

"Oh, ha ha… very funny… Then, what happened? I don't think Lavi would do something as stupid as to forget his golem… I mean, that's something you'd expect from you, not him…"

"You're so dying a slow and painful death the moment I see you… Anyway, that moron vanished."

"What do you mean he vanished? Did you lose him? Are you lost? It wouldn't surprise me, coming from you…"

"Don't group me with the likes of you, someone who gets lost at least five times a day. He fell through some weird empty room, and I haven't seen him since then. Besides, a Noah was here."

Their voices seemed to be accumulating more and more hatred and killing intent with every phrase and insult said to each other. That had very few chances on ending in a calm, civilized conversation.
That was, until it clicked in Allen's head that Kanda said the word Noah.

"A Noah?!"

"Yeah…"

"Okay, I'm heading there. We have to look for Lavi and that Noah. This could be bad…"

"They're probably in the same place anywa-"

"…"

"…YOU'RE HEADING THIS WAY?!?!"

"Eeeep!!"

Kanda turned around to see the familiar white arc portal opening a few feet behind him, and Allen falling through it, probably startled by his yelling.

"Owowow…"

"… Stupid moyashi."

"You didn't have to yell like that… I just got worried about Lavi, and decided helping would be the best…"

"Che…"

Allen swore, if he was given a dollar every time Kanda 'Che'd', he'd probably have enough money to pay his master's bills, and have an emergency fund for food.

But leaving that aside, they both started looking for Lavi and Tyki, though none of them expected anything near what was about to come their way.

"What the…"
