"Here we are, ladies," said the driver. Lenalee thanked the driver and carried Alena out of the carraige.

"When do want me to pick you guys up?" asked the driver.

"Oh, we might walk back, but if you don't have anything else to do, we're free," said Lenalee. "Around 4am tomorrow sounds good."

"Grreat! I love staying up!"

"Just get going and- Alena?"

"Mama, there she is... Fia the Lynn.." Alena said softly. The driver drove off and Lenalee ran to Alena to see what's going on.

"What is it?"

"Fia's over there with Piich! Wait, that's not Piich, is it?"

"I don't think so, Alena. That's Road."

"Road?"

"She's a Noah. You don't want to mess with her."

"*in the distance* W-Why are you trying to kidnap me?" Fia cried out, hoping for a response from anyone. Road clutched Fia's throat and held a sharp candle to her throat.

"Act with me and no one gets hurt, okay?" asked the devilish Noah. Lenalee and Alena were watching from a distance in the bushes.

"Don't take me away, please!" shouted Fia.

"But you're the most important part of the ingredient! I need you.." Road grinned at Fiaand licked the sharp candle.

"W-What are you gonna do with that?" asked Fia.

"Kill you if you don't comprehend," answered Road.

"Mama, when are we-"

"Just stay low and be quiet. Do not make a sound."

"You're a Noah, aren't you?" asked Fia.

"Why, yes I am. Why do you ask?"

"Get away from me and my family," said Fia, growling and shivering in anger.

"Oh, what's this? A cold blooded Lynn? Too easy. You're coming with us!"

"Not without a fight," said Fia.

"Huh?"

"If I win, you leave my family alone for good. If you win, you can take me away, and I don't care what you do to me as long as I'm still alive."

"Very fair indeed. You're such a good little Lynn aren't you? Lero, let's take her out.." Road's speaking umbrella rose from Road's shadow and stared at Fia.

"Road, she's a Lynn, Lero!"

"I get that, now come on!"

"Mama, are gonna stop the fight?" asked Alena.

"No. I'm going to find Piich and warn her about this." Lenalee dashed out from the bushes and hid behind Fia and Piich's house before Lero or Road laid eyes on Lenalee.

"Huh? I felt something.. Was it the wind?" said Road.

"I don't know, lero," answered Lero. Road shrugged a bit and continued to fight Fia.

Lenalee was behind the house, peeping through windows and even opening up doors to find Piich. She was nowhere to be found, until...

"Psst! Over here!" whispered a voice.

"W-What was that?" said Lenalee.

"I'm Piich, Fia's friend. I'm hiding."

"Why?"

"I know I'm supposed to help my dear friend, but it turns out that the Noah want me too."

"Then let the both of us help Fia, shall we?"

"I guess so. You got Innocence, right?"

"Of course I do."

"Good. I got some too. It's this sword right here. I call it the Tamer for many reasons, and those reasons should not be questioned or answered. Lets go."

"I hope Alena's all right," Lenalee spoke to herself.


"Allen! Wake up! We're almost done with the school! Wake up!" shouted Lavi, with Timcanpy on his shoulder. Allen was sleeping for almost half the day while working on the School of Exorcists.

"*murmuring: Sweet potato pie, cheese, dango... Guhhhhh.. Food...*"

"Oh, my- Allen, wake up, NOW!" Lavi shouted again, but Allen refused to wake up.

"*murmuring: Leave me alone. I'm sleeping!*"

"*sighs* Tim, fetch me a dango, and DON'T eat it."

Timcanpy nodded and flew off to find some dango for Allen. Moments later, Timcanpy returned with 89 Miturashi Dango.

"That's a lot!" said the surprised Lavi. Timcanpy nodded again and fed the sleeping Allen with dango.

"*murmuring: I smell dango... Dango...*"

"He's waking up..!" said Lavi. In seconds, Allen ate about 78 of the 89 dango Tim brought to him.

"L-Lavi..? Where am I?"

"You were friggin sleeping while the rest of us were working all day today! You slept half of the entire day by yourself! What has Cross done to you?"

"I know you feel bad for me, but that's how I am.. Right now, this is my last dango.. *cries*"

"*thinking: He even feels bad for losing all his dango in one bite.. What a loser..*" Lavi thought. Allen finished all of the 89 dango Tim brought to him. Looking t the empty, sticky sticks, Allen lit them on fire.

"A-Allen, are you nuts?"

"No, I'm just bored, but I sure do want some nuts.. Honey flavored if you have some. *smiles*"

"THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT!" Lavi shouted.


While the fight between Fia and Road continued, Piich and Lenalee were on the verge of attacking from behind Road and Lero..

"By the way, what's your name?" asked Piich.

"It's Lenalee.."

"My real name is Luciel," said Piich.

"Oh.. I didn't know that.." said Lenalee.

"DIE!" shouted Fia.

"Your friend's really good at fighting the Noah," said Lenalee, watching Fia take Road's head off with a single blow from her sword.

"Is she dead?" said Luciel. Road began to regenerate herself. Lenalee and Luciel freaked out.

"I didn't that she could that..!" said Lenalee.

"Hmm? I see you...!" said Road.

"We're dead," said Luciel.

"Not if we fight," Lenalee replied.
