**Let's start with Lavi**
"I...am...not...Wayne!" Lavi insisted again. Another stinging blow came down harshly on his back with the crackling sound of the whip. Lavi coughed out blood. "Shit, don't you ever fucking listen?"
"You are," Kira growled, pulling Lavi's hair. They were currently in a place like a prison cell, the room made of cold metal walls and floor, a small window high up that only allowed moonlight to stream through, and there was a dim light on the ceiling. "You look like him, smell like him, and though you don't act like him, I'm sure you ARE him. See? Eyepatch? Same. That scar on your back? Same. That small tattoo you have at your hip? Same."
"I'm Lavi!" Lavi growled stubbornly. Another hit struck him, and Lavi gasped in pain.
"Just give it up, all the evidence proves that you're Wayne," Kira's eyes slanted. "Wayne, the one whom I thought was my friend. The one who killed my parents. And the black order covered up what you did, saying they were AKUMA! They were living human beings, and you killed them!"
"Kira-"
"Heh! So exorcists can do anything and get away with it, huh?" Kira's voice was full of bitterness. "You killed them and ran off. You struck me on my head so I couldn't catch you. But well, today, I'm at a higher position in this very black order which hid the truth, and I'm going to punish you!"
"Kira, stop-"
"Hah! Justice? Save the world? The order talks crap! They just want to save themselves, but don't have the power to, so they feed people with sweet lies, and get exorcists to die in their stead!" Kira raved. Kira struck Lavi once again on his back.
"Gasp! Let me explain-"
"No! You're just going to lie to me! That's what the order is best at!" Kira cried out. "You're going to confuse me and hide the truth! I've resolved to do this long ago to get revenge for my parents! Even if you were my best friend, killing two of the most important people to me is wrong!"
"Kira-" Lavi called pleadingly.
Kira hit him again, tears falling down from his eyes. "No! You liar! Don't attempt to save yourself! It's useless!"
"Kira-" Lavi called again.
"Stop calling my name!" Kira wailed. He fell to the ground, sobbing. "I can't... I can't bring myself to do it if you call my name like that..."
"Please, Kira, listen..." Lavi pleaded.
"No!" Kira covered his ears. "Stop speaking, I don't want to hear your voice!"
Kira... look at me. It's okay if you don't want to hear me, I know you know how to lip-read and read sign language, Lavi begged, moving his lips.
Kira sat very still, looking at Lavi with eyes full of despair. Lavi started to move his lips and his hands, and the room was silent.
I... that day, I went berserk. All the personas inside me clashed with each other. It was horrible and painful. Everyone fought to get dominance, even the gentler ones as they didn't want the darker ones to take over. Wayne... Wayne fought the hardest... but the crazy peronas who had been locked away, they took him over, wanted to kill the people most precious to him, you...
You, Kira. Wayne tried his best to intervene, so they couldn't kill you, and they simply struck a blow that was hard enough to make you lose consciousness. They were in a rage. They wanted blood. And the closest people... they were your parents.
"You... I don't believe you!" Kira's eyes wavered. He was confused. And in pain, over his dead parents, and his best friend who was the murderer. He stood up abruptly and left the room in a hurry. He was flustered. he didn't know what to believe. He couldn't deal with the mass of thoughts and emotions that hit him, so he left.
Lavi was left alone on the cold metal floor, breathing hard. A tear slid from his eyes. "Kira..."
**Now it's Jasdero**
When Jasdero woke up, he was alone in a white room. There was a red-haired boy seating by the widow pane, swinging his leg idly as he looked out of the window. Jasdero opened his mouth to speak, but only a dry rasp came out. The red-haired boy sat up immediately and rushed over, helping Jasdero to seat up and giving him a glass of water. Weakly, Jasdero took it and sipped at it slowly. The red-haired boy smiled softly.
"Thank you..." Jasdero whispered. "Who are you? Why am I here?"
"Oh, you poor boy," The red-haired boy sighed. His voice was very quiet, soft and gentle. Jasdero decided that he liked the way the boy sounded. He noticed a small star-like tattoo under one of the boy's eyes. Melodiously, the boy's voice flowed again. "My name's Red..."
"Red?" Jasdero asked incredulously. "Aren't you dead?"
Red laughed softly, sadly. "I was supposed to, I guess, washed down the river, staining the river redder than my hair... but miraculously, I survived, like it was god's will. I couldn't move at first, as I was paralysed by poison, and i couldn't remember anything, but an old man saved me. I couldn't even speak then... but he took care of me... Afterwards, when I recovered, I stayed by him until he died to repay him, as he had no children of his own. And now, I'm back, to find Black, to make sure he's alright..."
"You've... been through a lot," Jasdero said sadly.
"You too, silly. I've seen what happened..." Red was about to say more in his calming, soothing voice when he suddenly flinched. "I...I've got to go. If he realises I'm not dead... he'll make sure I am. I'll come back later..." Red dashed to the window and jumped out gracefully, into the moonlight garden. "Bye, Jas," He whispered, running off.
Raz opened the door and came in, "Oh, good, you're awake! I was so worried... Black suddenly came over and attacked us... he wanted to kill you like Red..." Raz shuddered. "Is your head okay? He hit you pretty hard..."
"Black did...?" Jasdero blinked. He couldn't remember things from back then. Everything was kind of murky. He did recall getting hit and hearing Black's voice, and how Raz blamed Black for hitting him, but those were only voices...
"Horrible kid," Raz sighed. "Killing so many people!"
Jasdero listened, horribly confused. He decided not to tell anyone that Red was alive. He didn't know who to believe, not yet. Then, Black rushed in and glared at Raz. "You. Don't feed him lies! Get out!" Black threw a shoe at Raz, who dodged it. Blue also appeared at the doorway, looking at Raz hatefully. Raz sighed, and stood up to get out. "You better not hurt Jasdero anymore," Raz threatened mockingly. He went out, and Black immediately came over.
"I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to hit you, I was trying to hit Raz, he was going to frame you and..." Black sighed.
"...Black, what kind of person was Red...?" Jasdero asked to confirm.
"Oh, him," Black smiled wistfully. "He was the complete opposite of me. I'm always rushing into things, hot-headed and rash, while he always thought first, a very patient, composed and kind person. He was always gentle and caring, thinking about others first before himself. He's a knowledgable and reliable person... he was my best friend."
"I see..." Jasdero nodded, and regretted it. His head throbbed painfully.
"...Raz is blaming me for hitting you, again. He makes it sound like i was trying to kill you, and everyone believes him! A decision will be made tomorow. If the headmaster of this place thinks I'm at fault then I... I will be chased out of this orphanage..." Black said with lowered eyes.
"I don't want Black to go!" Blue's lower lips trembled like he was going to cry. "Everyone believes Raz instead of us!"
"Tomorrow..." Jasdero was deep in thought. He thought about Red and smiled. "I think you'll be fine tomorrow."
"You believe me, Jasdero?" Black blinked.
"Yes," Jasdero smiled gently. "Red was a very important person to you, I don't think you'd ever hurt him on purpose."
"...Thank you, Jasdero, that means a lot to me..." Black said sadly. "...I think we should go, you need more rest. See you tomorrow, Jasdero..."
"Tomorrow..." Blue sniffed.
"Yeah," Jasdero smiled brightly. "And the day after tomorrow and all the days after that!" Everyone gave a small smile, then Black and Blue left the room.
**Finally it's Debitt**
Kanda ran as fast as he could, with Debitt and Tsuki on his back. He feared that the guards would catch up to them. He took zigzagged routes to throw them off course. After this they would send exorcists to find them, like how exorcists were sent to find Marian Cross... Kanda gasped for breath, willing himself to move faster. Debitt looked at Kanda worriedly. "Kanda... I'm so sorry..."
Kanda shook his head gently, not having breath to speak. He continued to run, until he tripped over a branch and fell over. "Kuso..." Kanda cursed in japanese. He pushed himself up, but it was too late, the guards had caught up. Kanda set Debitt down on the ground gently, before taking up a stance with an unsheathed mugen, ready to fight. He was still out of breath and tired, but he willed himself to focus.
"Please give it up and come back, or we'll have to take drastic measures!" The guards hollered. There were ten of them... and on the other side there was a boy with a horribly painful ankle who couldn't stand, a guy who was severely out of breath with legs threatening to collapse underneath him, and a little cat that was meowing beside the injured boy. What were the odds?
"Tsuki... go help Kanda..." Debitt whispered. Tsuki nodded and activated its claws and fangs. With its little red wings, it flew over to Kanda. The guards aimed for Debitt first, seeing that he was most vulnerable, but Kanda blocked their path. Kanda growled deeply in his throat, like a protective animal over its young. The guards hesitated.
"Mugen..." Kanda whispered. "Kaichū: Ichigen!" Kanda swung his sword and released a small swarm of supernatural creatures. Tsuki meowed and led the army of creatures, attacking the guards who screamed and tried pitifully to defend themselves. Kanda carried Debitt bridal style and shouted to Tsuki, "Tsuki, let's go!" Tsuki flew back quickly, and they ran again, leaving the screaming guards behind. They continued to run, until they stopped by a cave to rest.
"Do you..." Kanda panted, "Even have an idea where he is...?" Debitt shook his head dejectedly. Kanda sighed, and ruffled Debitt's head gently. "It's alright, we have plenty of time. Wait here, I'll go find food for you to eat." Kanda staggered out of the cave.
Kanda left, leaving Debitt and Tsuki behind. Debitt sighed and twirled with strands of his hair. This sucked... He stared at his ankle. Hurry up and heal, stupid ankle, I don't want to be a burden to him... Seeing Kanda fight so hard for him, well, while he couldn't do anything, only made him feel even more helpless... Kanda soon came back with fire wood and some fish he caught in the river. He started a fire, roasted the fish, then handed one to Debitt. "Here, you didn't eat much today."
Debitt nodded, depressed. "Kanda... I'm so sorry..."
"What's this about?" Kanda asked quietly, eyebrow raised.
"I... I'm just a burden to you..."
"Pfft, I came here willingly with you, so shut up," Kanda rolled his eyes. He then softened up and gave a small smile at Debitt. "Don't worry about it. You should thank me instead of feeling sorry."
"...Yeah, thanks," Debitt's face lifted with a smile. He fed Tsuki some of his fish. It was already night time, and they would prepare to sleep soon. It was really cold, with the night wind blowing. "Go to sleep, now. Don't worry about anything, I'll keep watch," Kanda said soothingly.
Debitt frowned. "...We'll take shifts, okay? And you better wake me up for my shift later, or I'll kill you."
Kanda chuckled at Debitt's stubbornness. "Fine, whatever you want, neko-gaki." Debitt nodded and smiled, crawling over to Kanda and seating beside him, before leaning over to rest his body on the side of Kanda's body.
"What are you doing, neko-gaki?" Kanda asked in confusion.
"Shush, I'm sleeping here. It's cold, after all," Debitt pouted. Debitt patted Tsuki, who settled itself on his lap. Before Kanda could say again, Debitt said cheekily, "Night!" and promptly closed his eyes. Kanda sighed and let him stay there. How long has it been since he felt human warmth like this...? Kanda was always antisocial and reserved, so he had not had contact with anyone for a long time. Kanda sighed and rested his head on Debitt's head.
Unknowingly, he fell asleep too.
**Now it's...**
Cross Marian stared at the chicken on the ground which squawked crazily at him. He blinked. This chicken seemed tasty... no wait, it was familiar. Was it someone's pet? Cross smirked as he remembered. Ahhh, those two idiotic noahs who became Allen's substitutes to return his debt. Didn't this belong to the blond one? They didn't chase him lately, and thus he had no one to pay his debts... Perhaps he could use this to lure them out...
Cross Marian cackled evilly and set out.
