He felt an upcoming nosebleed except it was because Komui punched him. Allen laid on the cold ground for a few seconds with a look of fear at the protective older brother as Lenalee kicked him in the head.

"What do you think you're doing?!" cried Lenalee. Komui lay next to him. Allen turned his head to see if he was alright from Lenalee's heavy kicks and was greeted with glaring evil eyes.

"HOW DARE YOU ALLEN!" Komui got up and started shaking Allen's close. "How can you interlope with Lenalee without telling me a thing?!" He kept shaking Allen's clothes while Lenalee blushed in his direction, but quickly dissipated it.

"Where did you hear that nonsense?!" Komui stopped shaking Allen and both of them looked at her questioningly. "Allen and I are not 'interloping.' Oh god oniichan, how could you listen to rumors about me and believe them?" She picked up Allen off the ground and made a snooty look in Komui's direction as she dragged Allen away.

After a few seconds of watching them go, Komui called, "welcome home!" They had to smile.

The four exorcists had safely arrived home with the loss of no finders. They just stepped out of the boat when Komui ran down the hallways screaming like a madman and crashed his fist into Allen's face.

"Lenalee," muttered Allen lowly. "Was it really a good idea hiding it from Komui?" He fidgeted knowing the consequences of being discovered.

"Well," answered Lenalee slowly. "If we told him, he wouldn't dare let you set foot in the Black Order again. Anyways, who needs to know?" She stopped her tracks and turned around to face him. "We don't need any more gossip and distractions from our duties."

"Duties" repeated Allen. He started walking towards the cafeteria passing Lenalee briefly. She stared at him for a few seconds and caught on up with him.

"Allen?" She grabbed his hand and refused to let him walk any farther.

"Are our duties more important than us?"

She was caught off guard by his words and never really expected it to come from Allen. She knew in her heart what was right over what she wanted and Allen turned around hugging her tightly.

"I want to succeed in both." She hugged him back, but it almost made her cry to pull away.

"We can't let Komui see us." At that, Allen straightened up and kept a few feet distance. She giggled at him. It would be awhile before they would have time alone together especially with the cataclysms of the war.

Lavi had watched Lenalee effortlessly lie to her brother and drag Allen by the ear away. He looked at Komui still sitting on the ground with a puppy dog expression. "If you care, we destroyed the plant." He turned to Lavi and suddenly flashed a light bulb.

"Oh yes! So it's done?"

"Well, as far as that plant goes, yes. We also recovered innocence." He pulled the shining light out of his pockets and handed it out to Komui to inspect.

"That's great! Now we should take it to Hevlaska." Lavi nodded and walked in the direction of Hevlaska's room. "How were things while we were away?" he asked Komui.

"Same old news" replied Komui with a yawn. "We find more traces of innocence here and there, but we'd really like to use some new exorcists. Our branch is running low like all the others." He turned to Lavi and saw the small bruise on the bottom of his chin. "As much as exorcists are used to getting hurt, that doesn't mean you should keep banging yourself out there." Lavi felt his bruise and gave Komui a wide grin.

"Ah, no one wants to get hurt on purpose! These are just unavoidable!" He let out a prideful laugh of his bruises. He took a long yawn. Komui chuckled.

"How about I take the innocence to Hevlaska and you get some sleep?" Lavi nodded and handled the shining globe into Komui's hands. "I'm sorry to say that you have another mission coming up." Lavi shook his head.

"No need for a sorry. Comes with being in a war, right?" His smile was fainter this time.

"Oh!" cried Komui all of a sudden. "I have important news!" Lavi looked at him wonderingly. "We recruited a new exorcist. She's a bit young though; she's 14 and her name is Emi." His next expression was a little disappointed. "She's still trying to find out her innocence capabilities, but she'll join you on your next mission." Lavi gave a nod and stalked off to his room. This information was huge!

A new exorcist would be wonderful, but having a young one can also become troublesome. Still at a tender age, the child might run away from being an exorcist, but who's to blame them? It would be a normal reaction to all the horrid beyond human repair.

With these thoughts still in his head, Lavi approached the door to his room when he saw a girl in front of his door. Don't tell me that's supposed to be the new exorcist. She had black hair that was at her shoulders and large grey eyes. Her features were cute and she only seemed to be shorter than Lavi by a head. "Hey you!" Lavi called out. He walked towards her.

She turned around and was a bit surprised when she heard someone speak. Instead of bowing like he expected such a gentle looking girl to do, she reached out a hand. Lavi looked at it.

"Shake it." He obeyed and smiled.

"I'm Lavi," he said. "And you're Emi, right?" She nodded.

"I'm supposed to be with you on your next mission. It seems like I'll be here for awhile." Lavi chuckled at her.

"Yeah, it will be awhile."

He didn't notice Emi staring at him until a few seconds later. "What?" he asked.

"You look at them confused." He shrugged his shoulders.

"What's wrong with that?"

"Well, you look like you just gave up on something." Lavi knew what she was getting at; he gave up on finding someone special. What was the point when he would eventually have to leave them?

"Well, it's none of your business." It was cold of him to say that, and someone who didn't know him would know that something wasn't right, but Emi didn't know him and she shut her mouth.

A few hours passed and Emi had left Lavi's side to chat with others. He was just walking around giving everyone a greeting to let them know that he was back, but saw Kanda walking out of his room.

"Déjà vu, Yuu!" Lavi gave a wave and ran towards him with a wide smile. Kanda pushed him away.

"Get away from me."

"Aww, Yuu, don't be like—"

"How many times do I have to tell you to stop calling me 'Yuu' before I chop your fingers off?" he sneered and started to walk.

"Don't be so grouchy" whined Lavi. "Did you just get back from your mission? I did with Allen and Lenalee. The new exorcist is coming along on my next mission too." Kanda just gave a grunt of recognition. Has he ever been a conversation starter before? Lavi then remembered how worked up Kanda had sounded when Lavi had first told him about the akuma and how he had licked Allen's stomach. He shuddered for a second. Did that really all happen? Now he wondered why Kanda was so upset when he heard about it.

"Stop following me" said Kanda sternly. Lavi shrugged his shoulders. "If you're bored, go find someone else to bother."

"But you're the only person who I even want to talk to! C'mon, we need some catching up to do! We haven't talked to each other in forever!" Kanda gave a long sigh.

All of a sudden, an explosion erupted next to them. They both were thrown back by the force and ducked their heads. A few moments later, Kanda raised his head and saw through the hole which was Hevlaska's room. She was choking and accidentally crashed into the wall.

"Hevlaska!" yelled Kanda. He ran towards her while Lavi struggled to get up. Why was he having so much trouble lately doing something so simple?

Hevlaska finally spat out a shining innocence and leaned back taking in as much air as she could. "I…I'm alright, Kanda." She turned towards the innocence. "That piece seems to be much stronger than I imagined."

"Hey, what's wrong?!" Emi came running into the room along with Komui. She saw the innocence on the floor and looked up at Hevlaska with worried and fearful eyes. It seemed that she was still a little afraid of the great creature's appearance. Her eyes drifted back to the innocence and she walked towards it. She picked it up and it started t flash in her hands.

"This is awfully strange."

"What is it?" asked Komui inquiringly.

"She is compatible with this innocence also." Everyone gasped and stared with wide eyes at Emi. She blushed and dropped it.

"N-no," she stammered. "I thought I could only be compatible with one. I mean, my synchro rate with my knives isn't strong either." Komui put a hand on her shoulder trying to reassure her.

"We'll figure it out," he replied calmly. "But why did it make you spit it out?" Hevlaska took a few moments to think it through.

"This innocence works oddly. It hurts exorcists, but gives them extraordinary powers afterwards. If it was synchronized, you would be able to heal people, but first they would go through pain like what Allen described his experiences back in the old town where they found it." Komui nodded. He turned towards Emi.

"You might be able to heal people. Would you rather like that instead of having to fight?" He looked at her knives which she had so urgently disagreed with. Emi knew how to use knives, but that was because of her past. She didn't want to fight with someone she didn't like.

Lavi walked up from behind them and folded his arms across his chest giving Emi a respectful smile. "You'll be valuable for later."

Valuable like an object? She stood up and looked at Hevlaska. "What do you want me to do?"

The cafeteria was buzzing with news. Everyone exchanged information on their findings and there was always laughter and cracks at jokes. It was the most comfortable atmosphere Lenalee knew and she loved it to death. There's nothing she'd want more than to sit here forever and just listen to what people say. That's a silly thought. Eventually they'll run out of subjects to talk about. Yet, who knows when "eventually" really is?

"Eh, Lenalee," muttered Allen under his breath as he nudged her. "Jerry is looking at us rather oddly." Lenalee took a quick glance over to the chef's cubicle. He stood there with his face in his hands staring lovingly at the two.

"Ahh, what it's like to be young again!" he sighed. Lenalee turned away with awkwardly.

"He's the source of the rumors, isn't he?" whispered Lenalee back. Allen nervously chuckled. He could hear snickers and stares from around the room at the two. Sure, it was definitely awkward, but the best way to deny a rumor is not let it affect you, right?

"Well, there was a lot of commotion going around while you two were away" smiled Miranda. "Rumors and everything were circling. God, it's starting to feel like I'm in high school again though I hated it…" She trailed off with that dead expression of insanity.

"Ehhh" stammered Lenalee nervously. "We're old enough to know beyond rumors! Don't worry about it!" She really disliked it when Miranda did that.

"Oh, did you hear about the new exorcist?" asked Miranda.

"New exorcist?" said Lenalee and Allen at the same time. Miranda nodded with excitement.

"She's rather young so she's still in training, but she'll be on her first mission tomorrow. We had a welcoming party for her yesterday, though she didn't look all that welcome." Miranda looked up at the ceiling to find the right words. "It's almost as if she's too serious with this duty."

As if she could talk. They both looked at her wanting to know more, but Miranda didn't know much nor did anyone. The new exorcist's powers were still unrevealed to them. It would be great to have another person on board the team, but who knows what this girl is actually like?

Allen yawned and Lenalee started to notice her own fatigue. "Well, I think we're going to head to sleep."

"Not together, are you?" snickered a finder. Lenalee turned to him and glared her most deadly eyes. He quietly turned back to his food.

They walked away. When they were a safe distance away and no one was in sight, Lenalee gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. "We won't be able to actually be together much from here on out."

Allen nodded in response. He knew what this commitment meant: sitting five feet away from each other and not even being able to touch one another. It was going to be one of the hardest things to do especially since Lenalee was the first person he actually had true feelings for. "This war can go on," started Allen. "But we'll go on with it—together." She smiled gratefully.

"Allen, I won't let anything take you away." She sealed her words with a kiss and they walked in opposite directions to their room.


You're probably thinking, "WHAT THAT'S IT?!!!" Yeah, that's it. Thing is, I want this series to take place in the middle of the manga! I left a lot of loose strings, didn't I? With the introduction of this OC character, Emi, I want to make a fanfiction of her and Lavi. No, I don't think I'll make them fall in love. That wouldn't be very original. :) So that means, Allen and Lenalee are resolved. Let's see how Lavi turns out! THANK YOU AGAIN~! This series is officially: COMPLETE.
