Eternal Innocence Ch. 6
Hisoka stepped off of the train and was greeted by a large gust of wind which blew her hair in front of her face, she moved her hair out of her face and kept her hand there to keep her hair from moving again.
Lavi stepped off after her, shivering a bit as the wind met his face. "Woah! Now that's cold!" He shouted out, pulling his scarf over his face.
Aiisu nearly tripped as he got off the train, a strong wind was blowing, but it didn't affect him much. It was really warm here. He then noticed Hisoka and Lavi shivering. "Cold? Are you guys feeling okay? I feel perfectly fine." He commented, looking himself over to see if there was a source of heat.
"It doesn't matter how cold it is, we need to find the Innocence and head back to the Order." Hisoka interrupted. She observed the town and noticed a series of buildings with people walking on the streets, wearing heavy jackets and hats.
"It can't really be that cold here, can it?" Lavi pondered as the three walked into the town, pushing past the crowds of people.
Aiisu shrugged. He still felt perfectly fine, the air felt warm. He looked up to see the sun blocked out by many clouds. It WAS cold outside, but why didn't he feel it?
"We need to get some leads about this place, maybe someone has some information about any changes here." Hisoka explained as she headed off to a large crowd and started to mingle.
Lavi watched her leave and then turned to Aiisu. "I guess it's just us now." He said, looking around. "Leads…leads…" He repeated monotonously.
Aiisu was getting more and more annoyed with each repeat. "I think I'm gonna go on a search of my own Lavi." He said, trying to keep his cool as he walked away from the redhead. He searched around the town for what felt like hours and noticed a large group of people heading into a thick-pine forest that acted as an exit from the town. He felt that this was a bit suspicious and followed the group.
The group stopped in a large clearing in the forest and allowed Aiisu to get a break, he hid himself behind a tree and eavesdropped on the group.
There were 6 people, 4 guys and 2 girls. The leader of the group was an elderly man with a grey moustache and a green jacket and hat.
"Alright! It's obvious that the Innocence is somewhere nearby!" He told his group in a gruff voice.
"Innocence? How would they know about it?" Aiisu asked quietly, he had to listen more to find out.
"I want all of you to spread out and find it A.S.A.P.! Now get going!" He yelled out.
Aiisu heard them start to leave and as he moved to follow the leader, he accidentally stepped on a twig. He gasped as a loud snap echoed through the forest, each of the group members stopped and turned towards the tree Aiisu was hiding behind.
The leader gritted his teeth. "Come out! We know you're there!" He called out to him.
Aiisu gulped and stepped out, facing the leader with courage in his eyes.
The leader frowned, observing Aiisu's clothing. "I see…An exorcist caught onto us, eh?" He commented dryly. He turned to two of his comrades and motioned for them to move closer. "You two take care of him, the rest of you go looking for the Innocence." He ordered before turning and leaving.
Aiisu was left with two of the people staring at him, one male and one female. He looked at them with a blank expression on his face. How were they gonna stop him? He had this assurance, until he noticed the two start to shed their skins as if they were costumes!
He watched with wide eyes as large, greyish colored monsters appeared up in the air. They were round and had guns implanted in their bodies with the faces of humans that looked pale and lifeless. Black and white horns were jutting out from the heads and there was a single black star on their foreheads. The guns were aimed directly towards him and he gasped, taking a step back. "What the hell are these people?" He cried out with wide eyes. The monsters looked at him for a moment more before the guns started to fire.
Hisoka sighed as more people walked away from her. She had been searching for at least an hour now and no one had any useful information. She turned around and noticed that Lavi and Aiisu had both disappeared and she glared at the spot where they once were. "Those idiots left?" She said through gritted teeth. "Great! Knowing Lavi, he's bound to get lost!" She slapped a palm to her forehead. "When I find them, "I swear I'm gonna…!" She threatened, not even finishing her last sentence before she dashed through the town, searching for them.
She managed to dash through at least 4 blocks before she ran out of breath, she panted and got in as much of the air as she could, the cold air drying out her mouth. "Those…two…are….so…dead!" She said through breaths.
"Oh, Hisoka!" The sound of Lavi's voice came up from behind her. She didn't know whether to be relieved or infuriated.
"Lavi! Where did you two idiots head off to?" She reared up on him, clenching a fist.
Lavi put up his hands and chuckled nervously. "Hey, hey… We were just trying to get some clues as to where the Innocence was." He said in defense.
"Great, any leads?" Hisoka asked, a little hopeful.
"Well…not exactly." He replied again, sweat dropping.
Hisoka sighed. "Komui should've sent Kanda with me. We'd probably of found the Innocence by now…" She muttered to herself. She then realized something. "Lavi, where's Aiisu?" She asked, preparing another clenched fist.
"I…uh…I'm not sure." He said, bracing himself, half-expecting to be punched.
Hisoka screamed in anger. "Great! Now we have to find the Innocence and him!" She yelled out, breathing heavily.
Lavi was about to reassure her with some words, but he wasn't able to as a large explosion boomed out from the forest on one of the outer limits of the town. Hisoka and Lavi immediately turned towards the forest and looked at each other.
"What the heck was that?" Lavi cried out, looking towards the large smoke cloud that emerged from the forest.
The townspeople were in a state of confusion and fear, each person running into their homes or the nearest building.
Hisoka was already on her way into the forest, Lavi followed in pursuit.
The forest reeked of smoke and debris and Hisoka ignored both of these, continuing to move forward. They soon came into a large clearing. The trees were smashed down and in the middle of the clearing was a non-moving shape. Upon seeing the shape her eyes went wide.
Lavi's gasp sounded from behind her as he realized the shape himself. "Aiisu!"
