CHAPTER 4

"So you're all Exorcists. You sync with Innocence and fight again akumas and the Millennium Earl to save humanity and the world?" I paraphrased their stories to my understanding.

"Something along those lines, yes." Lavi smiled. "And you are a Card Mistress who got sucked in by a black wormhole and woke up in the middle of our fight."

"Something along those lines, yes." Kero-chan nodded as he cross his arms.

"Well although we trust you and know you aren't harmful in any way, I think it's best if you come back to the Black Order with us." Lenalee announced.

"Well it's not like we know where else to go or how to even get back. This isn't even our time frame… It's seems as though we are in the past." Kero-chan decided.

"Then it's set. We'll leave for the next train immediately." Lenalee smiled.

On the train ride to the Black Order, I thought about the friends Kero-chan and I left behind. How worried they must be. 'I wish I can go back to them, but I don't even know how. If it's time we're dealing with, then can't I summon TIME to help take us back?'

As I was in deep thought, I hear Kero-chan talking to Lenalee. "You mean I can have all the cake I want? All of it?" Lenalee nodded in response. "Oh I can't wait to arrive at the Black Order. I'm going to have vanilla cake, lemon cake, red velvet, chocolate cake, straw-"

Kanda snorted as Kero-chan listed out cakes he wanted to eat. "You're just like that annoying Beansprout. Che. "

"Hey Hot Tempered Brat, do you have a problem with me?" Kero-chan retorted.

"'Hot Tempered Brat?!' Have you not seen yourself, you plush animal!"

"WHY YOU LITTLE BRAT! YOU-" Kero-chan's vocabulary has become more colorful than I remembered as he and Kanda-san started to profusely shout at one another on the train.

"KANDA!" Lenalee scolded.

"Che."

"K-K-Kero-chan, I'm sure Kanda-san didn't mean anythi-" My attempts to calm down the Sun Guardian seems to have failed when he continued his rant after taking another breath.

Lavi, Lenalee and I sweatdropped as we witnessed the scene.

"Doesn't this remind you of something?" Lavi asked no one in particular.

Lenalee sighed, "Headquarters is definitely going to be louder now."

I observed the two in their heated argument and smiled softly. 'Syaoran-kun, I miss you.'
