Here is part 4 of this story! I'm not sure how long this story will be, but I think it will be pretty long… Anyway enjoy the next part!

Part 4

I lay down in the semi-comfortable bed that is in this small room, and drift off to sleep in a tank top and shorts that I had bought before I came here. When I sleep I don't dream, but instead I watch what all of my prodigies are up to. I first usually watch the generals, who were almost always fighting, or silently training, but in Cross' case he is mostly with women… Of course there are the rare moments when he is actually doing something useful, like tonight.

He is watching his Innocence at the moment, and I feel almost pressured to activate it fully. I don't though, because it is not my job to forcibly activate Innocence, but rather watch over it and give it a simple nudge in the right direction.

I watch Cross through the Innocence as he begins talking, "Maria…"

Though this Innocence is not his I still allow him to keep it, due to Maria's last wish to this man. She was truly a beautiful woman when alive, and Cross has done well in keeping her almost as beautiful as in life. The only part that his tackiness has over whelmed is the bow covering her eyes. This bold choice shows nothing of her quite shy attitude when she was living, but it is better that a mask like his.

Cross takes his other Innocence, Judgment, and points it at Maria saying, "Are you watching me even in death?"

He must be able to sense my presence in Maria! Crap! This unpredictable man might be my demise. Good thing for me though a knock comes from the door, and Cross readies Judgment, and raises it to the door. A man comes in the door, but my vision is soon blocked when this man takes hold of the Innocence, and I soon wake up in my room, and I bolt from my room to where I know Allen is.

I stumble outside of his door, and softly pound on the door loud enough that he can hear. Some shuffling comes from the other side of the door, as I try to appear as disheveled as a normal person would be if they just heard that someone was killed. Allen appears from behind the door with his silver hair sloppily brushed through with his hand, and wearing only pants. My mind momentarily drifts to the thoughts of the man before me's bare chest sculpted with many hours of a frequent work out schedule. I soon recover though and look at him with begging eyes.

"Allen! General Cross…" I try my best to act like I was breathing hard due to the run here, "Something happened… You should hurry… And come see this…"

It takes a few moments for his sleep-coated mind to process the broken up information I gave him, but his expression soon drifts from confusion to shock. Allen's dark eyes meet my own for clarification, and I nod at him quickly to confirm his suspicions. He soon bolts from his doorway, and I run in his room thanking him under my breath that he had a shirt laying out, and then I followed him to where Cross would be. I easily catch up to the worried man who was still bare-chested, and I toss his shirt at his face so he wouldn't just discard it.

Allen grabs the clothing that was thrown at him, and examines it until he notices his current appearance and begins to blush. He tosses the shirt over his head, and throws a thankful glance toward me before his takes a full sprint toward the room where his master is. A crowd has gathered outside of the room, and with just one look Allen and my own fears' had been answered. The crowd splits to let us further examine the room, though I was occasionally pushed aside with a silent sorry glance down toward me.

I finally push through the crowd, and meet with a shocked Allen. I look at the place where I had last seen Cross, and my eyes are greeted with a pool of blood in his place. Judgment is sitting beside the blood, and I try to connect to it, but it blocks me out. I watch the white gun in confusion why is Judgment denying- Then I remember the only way this could have happened; an independent piece of Innocence. He must have come here and killed Cross. A rebel if you will, a piece of Innocence that does as he wishes, and sins in the thought of protecting me, just because there is no human who will ever become his Accommodator. Why must he go to these extremes? And at this time? Idiot!

I finally remember where I am, and I look over at Allen who has now started to shake. I feel bad for the man on the verge of tears beside me; I mean he has his now lost his last remaining parent figure, and no matter how much Allen complained about Cross he most likely thought of him as an uncle. I reach out to Allen and pat the taller man's back, and he looks over at me with tear filled eyes. I return his almost balling face with a sympathetic look, that for once wasn't an act. Before I can act a pair of arms are wrapped around me, and a head is stuffed into my shoulder that soon begins to dampen.

All of the thoughts that I had before clear from my mind, and I focus on the trembling man in my arms. I whisper soothing words to Allen that I had heard before through his own Innocence, and he soon calms down enough to stand on his own. Allen looks at me with his now puffy eyes that are filled with mixed emotions of confusion, shock, despair, and depression. I give him my best reassuring smile, and his face begins to redden when he realizes that he just cried on an almost complete stranger's shoulder, and in front of almost the entire European branch. I can feel a blush begin to cross my own face, but Komui clears his throat to get our attention.

"Well Allen, Allison we would like to question you both," Komui simply states, but he leaves us both speechless.

I find my voice first, and ask him, "You think one of us killed Cross?"

He watches me for a while before answering, "To be honest yes I do think that one of you killed Cross, because Allen you were the last one to see Cross, and Allison you only arrived today and then a general suddenly dies. Of course you both are suspicious."

I bite my tongue to keep from giving him a smart remark, but a bitter, "fine," slips out before I could catch myself.

Allen and I are pulled out of the room, to some isolated rooms that are unpleasant to say the least. Komui follows me in, and quickly slams the door behind me. I'm shoved into an icy metal chair in the middle of the room, and Komui slams his hands down on the table that separates us as he sits down.

Komui looks at me right above his glasses and asks me, "Allison Clad, did you kill General Cross?"

"Of course not! In what way would I benefit from Cross' death?" I answer bitterly, being cross at him for even suspecting me.

"You could easily find a new Accommodator for his Innocence. I couldn't imagine it to be too difficult for someone like you."

"Are you an idiot?! Do you know why it's so hard to find anyone with Innocence? It's because not even one percent of the human race could handle what it entitles to have Innocence! Not even half of the Accommodators that I've already chosen have awakened their Innocence to even half of its power!"

"I see… Then do you know who did?"

"Partially… I would have to see his Innocence to know more though…"

Komui places Judgment on the table and pushes it toward me saying, "Here I had a feeling you would say that. Now, ask it questions or whatever you do to communicate with Innocence."

"It's not like that…" I drift off and take a better look at Judgment who still refuses to let me "see" through him. I shaking reach out to touch Judgment, but stop and ask, "Komui how concealed is this room?"

"Well… This is where we usually put people in confinement, and there is a spell on it to keep anyone from exiting or entering this place."

"That's great," I comment as a smirk spreads across my face, and Komui looks at me confused, so I explain, "I'm going to activate my Innocence to see what happened to Judgment."

He looks at me and asks, "I though that you said you can't activate your Innocence, because you would activate every Innocence in our head quarters. Why would you activate it anyways?"

His questions are meaningless to me, but I answer, "Well in this space I can't sense any Innocence, and I will activate Judgment fully to see what happened. No more questions just watch."

I stand up and hold Judgment up to my heart, the Heart imbedded in my chest. My eyes close, and I begin to mumble inaudible words to Judgment in the first language of the Heart. Judgment is soon turned into liquid form, and I look down at myself realizing that I too have changed "form". I stand in front of Komui with silver armor that covers everywhere on my body besides my heart. Over my heart is a black fabric that stretches around my torso, and over the armor. I hold up Judgment to the light, while still speaking in an ancient language, and I begin to drink its new form.

I made this chapter a bit longer than usual as an apology for not updating sooner. Anyway, cliffhanger! Muhahahahahahahahaha! Don't worry though I will update again soon, because I have a lot of time to do so.

Review… review…review… please?

Anyone have any guesses as to what happens next?

Hope you all ENJOYED!
