A/N: So, I was thinking about watching the anime all over again for writing the fanfiction, but then I thought it would be better if I don't. Unless it was because I really forgot the entire arc, or episode, I'm really not going to bother. On that note, I might cut some arcs and replace it with an original I randomly thought of. So, enjoy the chapter, as always.


"Ah! Finally back home!" Suri cheered and headed straight to her room to shower.

"Wait! Suri! Where do I take the innocence?!" Allen called after her. She paused and turned back.

"You can take that to Hevlaska and she'll take care of the rest for you!" Suri replied and went back to skipping to her room.

Allen sighed and he went to the chamber where he had meet Hevlaska.

"Hello, Hevlaska." Allen greeted.

"Welcome back, Allen Walker." Hevlaska replied. Allen presented the innocence that was still in it's glass case. It glowed brightly and came out of it's case. Allen marveled. There were so many things he has yet to learn. Once the innocence was in place, they had both said their farewells. Allen's next destination: the science division.

"Excuse me!" Allen called out. There were books and papers all around, and most people were sleeping. Allen spotted Reever and approached his desk. "Ummm... excuse me, I'm looking for the father of a boy named Jean. Do you know where he might be?" Allen asked, the near-death man.

"There... Russell" Reever replied tiredly, pointing at a stack of papers on a desk.

"Thanks." Allen said, but received no reply. He shrugged it off and headed towards the desk. "Ummm... Mister Russell..." Allen called softly while moving around the table. He looked at how neatly everything was stacked and tried touching a pile.

"Don't touch that. Everything has a specific order and one misplacement will throw all of the rest out of balance." The man behind all of the stuff said. He finished up whatever he was working on, and put his pen down. "Now, how may I help you, young man?"

"Ummm... It's about your son, Jean?" Allen heard Russell's indistinct murmurs. Allen merely sighed and decided to grab a bite to eat. When he reached the doors, Lenalee and Suri had just walked out.

"Oh, Allen!" Lenalee called out. Suri was carrying a large bento box.

"We grabbed some food for you since the cafeteria is off limits right now." Suri covered quickly.

"What do you mean?" Allen asked, curious.

"Jerry just messed up a dish he was working on. It's a real mess!" Lenalee chimed in. Suri facepalmed at Lenalee's terrible cover-up.

"Oh, then I'll go help." Allen advanced towards the cafeteria.

"No! Stop!/Wait!" Lenalee and Suri stopped him simultaneously.

"Eat this!" Suri pushed the bento box to him, and he caught it. "Eat it while we go to the training hall. I want to spar with you." Suri said. Lenalee sweatdropped. No one has be able to beat her in forever besides General Cross.

They walked towards the training hall as Allen ate his snack beside them. His finished just before they reached the large double doors, and Suri stepped forward to open them.

"This is the training hall." She announced grandly. Allen looked around the room in marvel. How had he not know about a room this big?! It was enormous to say the least. She walked them towards a smaller door than the entrance and opened it. "And this... is where our weapons are kept."

There we're weapons of all shapes and sizes ranging from small daggers to curiously shaped blades to blunt weapons. It was a weapons galore. In the back corner lied a large broadsword. Allen walked to it and picked it up, weighing it in his hands.

"Excellent choice, Mister Walker!" Suri toyed. "Now, we can have a sword match!" She picked up a long-blade katana from a solitary glass display in the back of the room.

"I don't think your supposed to be touching that..." Allen commented at how she happened to chose the most precious weapon in the room.

"This is my sword. It was custom made for me by the Vatican. With the trash that they are, they sure make good blades!" She told Allen. Lenalee smiled from outside the room as she saw Allen sweatdrop.

"Now, would you like to begin the match?" Lenalee said. They both nodded and walked outside and met on the floor, facing each other.

"Do you want to do it the traditional English way, or the original face-to-face?" Suri asked with a smirk.

"The facing each other is much more romantic." Allen said, teasing her. The both smiled and Lenalee counted off the start.

"3!...2!...1! Start!" She waved her arm down, and the mach began. They both started circling each other, with both their hands on their respective swords.

"I don't want any advantages, so I'll tell you about my sword." They both continued to circle each other.

"What do you mean?" Allen asked. Was she trying to distract him?

"My sword is not just one blade..." Suri took the first strike, but Allen blocked. He was trying to hold his ground, but she was pretty damn powerful. He was sliding back as she kept pushing. Allen finally caught ground and found the strength to push back against her. She was launched backwards and did a backflip in midair. Allen looked at her suspiciously as she ran her middle finger along the tip of the blade to the hilt. The sword... became two identical ones and landed in her left hand... Allen was dumbfounded while Lenalee was proud. Suri raised her left hand to eye-level and winked at him. "Shall we dance?" Suri asked with what Allen thought of as sensual and blushed, though it was barely visible.

"Yes." Allen said with a steeled determination.

Suri charged with crossed blades. Allen braced himself for impact, but it never came. Instead, Suri had jumped into the air with an easy front flip, landed, and attacked with her right. Allen threw his sword back and blocked the incoming attack. The dust settled as they stayed in position for a second longer.

They simultaneously jumped back, but Suri was the first to attack once again. She laid upon thousands of frontal strikes, switching between her right and left blades with unnatural ease. Allen was drastically being pushed back. What was this insane strength? Either way, he had to find an opening. Suri thought she had won, and Allen had given up, so she took a fraction of time to prepare for the final attack, but instead, Allen had took the advantage and kicked her in the abdomen. Fear of hurting her friend took over, so rather than continuing the attack, she blocked it.

She rolled backwards twice and slid a few feet once she caught ground. Allen saw this as an advantage and started his frontal barrage. He moved quickly, but to her, it was slow and sloppy. Suri lazily span, meeting strike for strike. Finding the perfect opening, she whipped the broadsword out of Allen's hands and it clattered to the floor, harmlessly. Before Allen knew what had happened, a katana was pointed at his neck.

"I win." Suri smiled. It was cold and cruel smile that intimidated Allen, but sent shivers down his back.

"Yes, you did." Allen said in a bright smile. Lenalee walked up to them and clapped twice.

"That's enough, now. The match is over." Lenalee said, sensing some hostility. Suri blinked once and returned to normal, lowering her weapon. She twirled the left sword while touched the right one, and it vanished. Allen wasn't even that surprised anymore. Suri looked exhausted as she trudged to put away her sword. When she made her way back to her friends, she stretched her arms and back.

"That was a good match, Allen. Much more skilled than some imbeciles within the Order." Suri said, smiling tiredly.

"She means to say that you held up better than she had thought you for. You should most definitely be honored." Lenalee explained. If Kanda had felt the way she thought he felt towards Suri, he wouldn't approve of the acknowledgement Allen had just recieved.

"Yeah, that's what I meant to say." Suri yawned, breaking into Lenalee's thoughts. For a second, Lenalee was afraid that she might of said those words out loud. "Anyway, I wanna sleep. I can't believe how draining that turned out to be. I need to train my stamina much more. I'm getting weak." She informed them.

Allen sweatdropped. How was she weak? She was most definitely strong enough to take him even with his innocence activated, Allen thought. Suri stopped by the doorway spontaneously, as if she had forgotten something.

"Tomorrow. Let's do this again, okay?" She looked back at him with a passive face and the slightest of sadness hidden within her smile. Not knowing what to do, he nodded, and Suri went back on her way.


An hour later around eight at night, Allen was found wandering the hall towards the cafeteria for some kind of snack. His mind was replaying that battle over and over again. Suri was a mystery to him. Footsteps rapidly approached him.

"Master Walker! Master Walker!" Toma, the finder from before, called out his name.

"Toma? What's wrong?" Allen asked, worried after seeing Toma panic.

"It's the finders!" Toma was panting. "They haven't responded for a while, and I have reason to believe the boy may be in danger." Toma explained. Allen's eyes widened.

"I understand." Allen spun on his heels and walked towards the boating area. Toma was panicking again. What is he going to do? Suri Blackwell. She may be able to help.

He quickly went to her door and knocked, loudly. There wasn't any response, when he knocked another rapid round, so he invited himself in. "Lady Blackwell! Lady Blackwell!" Toma called. He spotted her on the bed, completely passed out, peacefully. He felt guilty to wake her up, but he had to. He grabbed her hand, and she finally roused.

"Toma?" She asked while half awake, but she snapped up in alarm. "What's wrong? Is it Allen?" She asked Toma in panic. Toma was shocked, how did she know? "I could not sense his presence." Suri explained, as if reading his mind.

"Quickly now." Toma ushered her out of bed while she was still in her tight-fitting, skimpy, see-through nightgown. Suri quickly pulled on her jacket and some shorts. She ran out with her anti-Akuma weapons and Toma tailing her.

"We may be quicker if we traveled on foot. Lets grab Lenalee first." Suri speculated. They quickly explained the situation to her (that Allen was missing) and she was instantly on board.

Swiftly and silently, they jumped the buildings and Lenalee had activated her Dark Boots. They reached their destination within a half hour. What a tiring journey. Suri used the Seer to search for the dark matter, since that's probably where Allen would be anyways. The innocence led them to a graveyard.

"... That's when I had turned my father into an Akuma." They all caught him saying. What?

"Allen turn his father into an Akuma?!" Lenalee exclaimed.

"Drop it, Lenalee. We have more important things to take care of." Suri said as she felt Akuma approaching. And without a doubt, they came.

"Yes." Suri always helped her prioritize on times like these. Suri walked forward, confidently.

"Earl..." She stopped right in front of him.

"Suri-chan!~" The Millennium cooed. "It's been quite a while, hasn't it?"

"Yes, brother. It won't be long now. A little patience will do the trick." Suri replied to everyone's shock and horror. "I'm afraid I'm not joining you for this little party you threw. My family is with the order now." Suri told him.

"Awww~ But Suri-chan, you are mine~" The Earl said. She knew that he was heartbroken, but she didn't care. She would forge her own destiny from now on.

"I'm sorry, Adam." Suri whispered, just loud enough for him to hear.

"You're just like him." He replied, just as softly.

"Haha." she laughed humorlessly. "Now, that's not fair."

"Is that so..." The Earl murmured as he looked into her eyes.

"I wish that things could have been different, but the past is not so easily forgotten. Especially for me." Suri smiled solemnly at him. He was on the verge of tears as she walk backwards, away from him. The Earl closed his eyes, biting his lip. Many Akuma filled the sky. Suri prepared her innocence, then charged forward, but not before she whispered in Adam's ear. "I'll be back." She jumped to the roofs and commenced battle.

The Millennium Earl's eyes widened. What did she mean? When? His heart was filled with excitement. This little play will be so much more fun with her around. Suri had already destroyed half of the Akuma had been residing there.

"Innocence, activate!" Lenalee exclaimed. Once her innocence was out, she danced from Akuma to Akuma.

"I didn't know that Lenalee was an exorcist." Allen commented.

"Yes. Miss Lee has been in the Black Order for quite a while now." Toma explained. Jean's voice brought him back to the ensuing battle.

Suri was standing on a nearby roof, watching the interaction between Allen, Jean, and the Earl with hawk-like vigilance. She absorbed every word like a sponge. The Akuma had lined up behind her, but they didn't attack her. They didn't dare touch a scarlet-colored hair on her head. But Suri thought differently. She destroyed them without thought.

All of a sudden, the Akuma had started retreating. It was over.

"See you soon, Suri-chan~" The Earl retreated. "I'll be expecting you..." Suri heard his voice carried through the wind, for only her and heard only by her.

Suri sighed as some memories had resurfaced. She forced them down, but they just wouldn't go.
