Sorry for the long delay, I caught a bad case of lazyness -_-" That and homework. I'm touched that you guys want me to update so much though :) Like I said, I have this finished, but I'll be happy to change the story a little if you guys have any ideas. Enough with this, enjoy the chapter :)

"Mm… Morning," Kagehi says with a tired voice, though it's stronger than what it was last time

"Good morning! Feeling any better?"

"I think so…" Lavi's eyes lit up and he had a huge smile.

"That's a good thing! Do you need anything?"

"Do you have any fire?"

"Huh? What do you need fire for? Are you cold?"

"It helps me heal. The hotter it is the faster I heal. It helps burn out any poison in my body, too. At least as long as I'm immersed in it.

"Really?" He looked around, noticing something was off. "Hey, where'd Komui go?"

"If you're talking about the crazy guy who had the robot he left while you were asking why I needed fire."

"Oh. I can arrange the fire, but are you sure it'll work?"

"Yup"

"It won't kill you?"

"Nope. I lived in a volcano for a while. I kinda miss it."

"Okaaaay. We'll have to go outside though."

"I should be able to make it that far, expecially if I use a portal."

"A portal? Last time you used one you went into so much pain you couldn't move!"

"That was because of the poison, not the portal."

"Oh. Well, it's worth a shot."

"Kdoke." Kagehi opened a portal and they both ended up outside. She looked around. "Hey, where's the fire?"

"Right here," said Lavi, holding up his hammer. "I can control the elements using my innocence. Can you move back a little? It'd really suck if I hit myself with it."

"Sure." She moves back about ten feet. "Is this far enough?"

"Perfect. Here we go! Hi-ban!" Lavi's hammer glows with the kanji for fire. He slams it down and the kanji encircles them both, and then creates a serpent of fire. It rises up and falls, creating a vortex of fire around Kagehi for a few minutes. Then it dissipates into the air leaving Kagehi standing and Lavi a little confused. "That usually kills people, so how are you still standing?"

"I told you, fire's a good thing for me. Look, I'm fully healed! Your fire was awesome!" True to her word, she looked better than ever.

"I'll have to remember that. We should probably go see Komui. I'm glad you're not gonna die on me though! Plus you're not in any more pain!" He had a huge smile. "Do you wanna walk or open a portal?"

"I think we should walk. I want to learn the layout so I can help newer exorcists find their way around, if I get to stay anyway. Plus it makes opening portals easier." They start walking to Komui's office.

"How so?"

"It easier if I can visualize exactly where I'm going. It takes a little bit more energy to make a portal to a place I've never been," she explains. "While a portal doesn't take much energy, every bit counts during a fight."

"Done a lot of fighting?"

"Yup. I've been hunted by Akuma ever since I can remember. I was probably about five when they started attacking me. The Millennium Earl just started sending the Noah family after me. We usually end up agreeing neither of us can fight any more and leave."

"That's a pretty long time. To start fighting Akuma at the age of five… It's hard to believe you're still alive." They arrive in front of Komui's door and knocked. "Hello? Anybody here? Komui?" No answer. "Guess he's not done talking to the generals."

"Hmmmm…" Kagehi closes her eyes for about five seconds. "Found him. He must be in the kitchen considering how many people are there."

"How do you know that?"

"I can sense and trace auras. Since I met Komui, I can track him if I need to. It's difficult for me to contact them if I'm unfamiliar with my somewhat complex surroundings, though."

"Wow, you're filled with power. What else can you do?"

"Well, you've seen the wings, the portals, and the aura tracking. I can do pretty much anything I want, except revive the long time dead. One of my favorites other than the ones you've seen is shape shifting, along with controlling shadows."

"Shape shifting? Can you show me?"

"Sure, why not?" Kagehi starts glowing with a black light and begins to transform. She looks like she did when she came out of her first portal. She starts to take the shape of… Lavi? "Is this good?" She even had Lavi's voice and hammer.

"Like a brother I never had!" laughed Lavi. "I have an idea," he said with a mischievous grin. "Do you know where Yuu is?"
