Lavi groaned feeling sleep beginning to leave him. He felt arms wrap around his waist and the heat of a body next to him. He quickly opened his eyes only to smile when he saw that it was Allen sleeping with him. He ran a hand through his silver locks and kissed the top of his head. He then froze. Ack! What the heck am I doing! I can't just kiss Allen while he's sleeping!...Even if it was only the top of his head... Maybe-Ah! No! Snap out of it Lavi! Lavi mentally scolded himself. Allen stirred then looked up at Lavi with a smile on his face. "Oh... Good morning, Lavi," Allen yawned. Lavi blushed.

"M-Morning, Moyashi!" Lavi said a bit too loud.

"That was weird. Are you okay?" Allen asked.

"Y-Yeah! I'm just fine. Don't worry about me, Moyashi," Lavi smiled widely.

"It's Allen! How many times do I have to say it? It's Allen!" Allen pouted. He huffed and crossed his arms over his chest. Lavi laughed and pulled Allen into a hug.

"Yeah, yeah, I get it. Man, you're adorable!" Lavi laughed. Allen's cheeks flushed.

"Re-Really?" he asked.

"Yup," Lavi pulled back to look at Allen's face. They smiled at each other. The door knocked and then opened. Raul walked in.

"Oh... um... Sorry to interrupt, but breakfast is ready," Raul said hints of a blush on his cheeks looking away from Allen and Lavi. Lavi quickly put everything together.

"W-Wait! Th-This isn't!" Lavi stuttered.

"Just come down when you're ready," Raul said before leaving and closing the door.

"I'm telling you you're wrong!... Great," Lavi huffed out. Allen looked at Lavi confused. "It's nothing Moyashi. Don't worry about it." It'll effect me more than you, but then again, I'm not entirely sure how Link handles things either, Lavi thought.

"It's Allen!" Allen shouted throwing Lavi out of bed. Lavi laid there in shock then sat up.

"What the heck did you do that for?" Lavi shouted.

"That's for being in my bed," Allen stuck out his tongue.

"Hate to break it to you, but you're in my bed. This is my room, Allen," Lavi smirked at Allen's reaction. Allen's mouth was open in shock and his face was beet red.

"R-Really? S-Sorry!" Allen shouted before running out. Lavi chuckled and quickly changed into his exorcist uniform. He traveled down to the dining room where he found the others already seated around a table. Raul, who was up and serving breakfast, looked up and smiled at Lavi.

"Buenos dias, Lavi," Raul greeted.

"Buenos dias, this looks good. Did you make it?" Lavi asked taking a seat next to Rayne who watched Lavi intently.

"Yes, I hope you all like it. It will be a long day today, no?" Raul asked sitting next to Lavi with a plate set in front of him too. Allen walked into the room sitting next to Link.

"Good morning, everyone," Allen smiled looking at the food before him. Everyone exchanged greeting and started eating with Allen finishing first. By the time they had finished, the sun was shining, and the streets were filled with people again. Allen looked out the window then back to the others. "This sure is a lively town. It's still early morning, but everyone's already out and about."

"It's because of the disappearances. Everyone is scared of the night, so they try to get everything done by the time the sun sets again. The streets used to be just as filled with people during the night as they are now, but that's changed now," Raul explained.

"We should hurry and find out the reasons of these disappearances then. If it is caused by innocence, then it's only a matter of time before akuma start to appear," Toma said.

"You're right, but if it is innocence then why have they waited so long to attack? Raul, do you know of any other towns announcing something about deaths?" Lavi asked.

"Not that I'm aware of. The other towns have stopped all communications with us since the disappearances started," Raul explained.

"Scouts you have sent check to those communications?" Rayne asked.

"Um... we have sent some people to try to negotiate with them, but they disappear too. We figure they do because it's a two-day travel to any town around here. Traveling in the night is inevitable," Raul explained.

"That's not helpful... but you say that only men are disappearing, right? Have you sent any women out?" Link asked.

"Not yet. I don't think anyone in this town has the intentions of sending women out into the woods to fend for themselves, even if it is for a short while," Raul said.

"Sorry we are, but I and Lavi leave must we. Library be the at we will," Rayne announced standing. Lavi sighed and stood too.

"We'll meet up with you guys later. Maybe here in front of the inn before sunset?" Lavi asked starting to leave with Rayne. Toma nodded.

"That's a good plan. Will the two of you be alright?" Toma asked.

"Of course we will. We are Bookmen after all. Good luck," Lavi smiled before leaving with Rayne. The two walked around town. Rayne stared at Lavi disapprovingly. "What is it?"

"Really nothing. Thinking just am I hand in case about. Three months after akuma none there are," Rayne said trailing off.

"I know... It's not sitting right with me either... Do you think those traveler disappearances aren't really disappearances at all but rather akuma attacks?" Lavi asked.

"Be could... The others up to out figure it is it," Rayne said entering the library. Lavi followed and they traveled through the shelves of books.

"How exactly are we going to research this? We don't exactly know much about the situation," Lavi said browsing through the many book titles.

"Simple. Phenomenons unnatural with occur innocence. Phenomenons unnatural research will we about disappearances dealing with," Rayne said handing Lavi a stack of books. Lavi held onto the heavy books giving Rayne a disbelieving look.

"And this will work?" Lavi asked.

"Believe not do you in history, Bookman?" Rayne asked amused. Lavi grumbled upset and continued to follow Rayne around the library until they settled down to read. The table they sat at was covered completely in books. Villagers seemed to avoid them giving them the silence they needed to read.


As the sun was setting painting the sky a bright pink and orange, Allen, Link, Toma, and Raul stood in front of the inn. They waited around nervously for Lavi and Rayne to return. The streets were starting to quickly empty as the sky got darker. The air around the four was tense and fragile. "I wonder where they could be," Allen said to break the silence.

"Where indeed. They couldn't still be at the library could they?" Link asked.

"It's a possibility. If they are too late to leave, then staying at the library would be better than trying to come here," Raul explained.

"Would it really? Do these disappearances not also happen to those inside?" Toma asked.

"Hmm... They do... My brother was indoors when he ran off, but if that's so then how are any of us safe?" Raul asked. Lavi and Rayne walked up to the group tiredly.

"Oh, they're here," Allen smiled and perked up. He walked over to greet the two. "Did you find anything useful?"

"I wish. We read so much, but got nowhere. Just when we thought we found a lead, it was just a wild goose chase. It looks like we're going to have to go back tomorrow as well," Lavi sighed.

"Remember just all read you today. Might it be useful," Rayne ordered.

"I know, you don't have to tell me that. Besides, I've got a photographic memory. There's no way I'll forget," Lavi bragged proudly. Lavi looked over the other four there. "So did you guys find anything out from the villagers?"

"No... Whenever we asked, they either ran away scared or they didn't know anything," Allen said sadly.

"Don't worry about it. There's always tomorrow, Moyashi," Lavi smiled putting a hand to Allen's shoulder.

"My name is Allen!" Allen growled. He removed Lavi's hand and stormed inside the inn. Lavi chuckled only to stop by Rayne's glare.


Lavi laid on his bed staring at the ceiling. It was late into the night yet Lavi couldn't sleep. His thoughts wandered around the disappearances and around Allen. Lavi sighed whenever his thoughts would lead to Allen. He was thinking about Allen a lot lately, and he had to admit that he was loosing his control. He felt emotions and it showed. A knock at his door interrupted his thoughts. He sat up. "Come in," he called. The door opened and Raul walked in. "Raul, what are you doing here?"

"I just wanted to talk..." Raul started stopping where he was.

"Right, um, sorry, uh... here, come sit," Lavi said shifting over so Raul could sit next to him on his bed. Raul nodded and sat next to Lavi. "What is it you wanted to talk about?"

"About these disappearances. This morning you had mentioned akuma. Without the others knowing, I had asked my villagers what they knew about such diablos, but they all thought I was pranking them. What are these diablos?" Raul asked.

"First off, they aren't demons. Akuma is the name of a weapon made by a person called the Millennium Earl to destroy humanity. These weapons are made from the sorrow of humans and are programmed to kill. They don't mean to kill, but they can't fight orders from the Earl either. That's where people like me, Allen, and Rayne come in. We're exorcists sent to destroy these akuma," Lavi explained.

"They kill? Do you think they could have..." Raul trailed off looking down sadly. Lavi placed a firm hand on his shoulder.

"Don't think like that. You're brother's okay, and we're gonna find him," Lavi said reassuringly. Raul looked up.

"Really?" Raul asked.

"Yes. I guarantee it," Lavi smiled at him making Raul smile as well.

"Alright, well if you say so then I guess-" Raul stopped as a song filled the air. The song was faint yet very alluring. The gentle melody played in the air.

Mecum fugere

Sub caelo astrifero

Veni mecum, mea praeda

Ad tenebras ignotus

Lorem cadunt

In profundis tenebrarum

Sed caritas non TARDESCO

Raul's eyes widened and he froze in shock. Lavi watched Raul intently. "Raul, que pasa?"

"That's the song," Raul said his voice barely a whisper. He snapped out of his shock and gripped Lavi's shoulders urgently. "That's the song! The song that was sung when my brother disappeared! We have to hurry before they get away!"

"Right! Stand up," Lavi said. They both stood and Lavi grabbed his hammer. "Stay here."

"Wait! Am I not coming with you?" Raul asked. Lavi hesitated.

"Alright, fine. Hold on tight then," Lavi smirked.

"What? Hold onto to what?" Raul asked. Lavi didn't answer and just stood by his window. He pointed his hammer towards the ground.

"Oodzuchi Kozuchi, shin!" Lavi shouted. His hammer handle extended until the hammer spike was planted firmly into the ground. He turned back to Raul who stood in shock. Lavi smirked. "Are you coming?"

"Y-Yes!" Raul said. He wet over to Lavi looking out the window. "Did you-"

"Come on, you gotta hold onto me," Lavi said wrapping and arm around Raul's waist. He planted his feet onto the handle and pulled himself and Raul out the window.

"W-Wait! I don't know what to hold on to!" Raul cried.

"Shin!" Lavi shouted not waiting for Raul. They shot up into the air on Lavi's handle. Scared, Raul gripped onto Lavi who laughed. "There ya go. Keep holding on, okay?"


And... chapter! This chapter felt a lot longer than it is -sigh- oh well. I'm moving along with the plot and introducing some slight RaulxLavi. You're gonna have to wait and see what happens both in the disappearances and in Lavi's life especially with Rayne there to make things harder. Until next chapter. Review please!
