Well… I think we need an update. I demand reviews, because they're the only thing that make me want to write.

I think that when me and Lavi hit, this is what the Romans must have thought when they fought people to the east. Tyki and Jasdevi hit us like a wall of bricks, and before long we were both separated from each other. I was trying to get some swipes at Tyki but he merely laughed as he shielded himself with something that I thought was a butterfly. When he pushed me back, another butterfly popped out of his palm. It unwrapped its wings and Tyki tried to push it against my chest but I knew better than to just sit there. Ok, well actually I was going to dodge but I guess accidentally tripping on myself worked out to my benefit.
That's what I thought until Tyki tripped over me and landed on top of me. I coughed and gasped for air, "Get. Off. Of. Me. Fatass!" I hissed through clenched teeth. Instead of waiting, I brought my leg up and attempted to kick him in the head with my boots. It hit, and he rolled off and I was up before I could count to two. I raised my blades, and Tykis hands shot out, wrapping around my ankles. He pulled and I fell back onto the floor where he crawled on top of me, grinning like a maniac. I glared at him and tried to push him off, but he was pretty heavy.
"Get off of me, sicko!" I said.
His grin widened, "You know you like it." He said coolly, bringing the butterfly down again.
"You wish!" I said, slashing his butterfly in two and pushing him off. I stood, eyes traveling over to Lavi. He was on the ground, and when I came to realize it he was unconscious. I opened my mouth and before I could utter the first syllable of his name, a heavy force hit me in the head. My head slammed against the wall, and my vision began to blur. I felt something warm and hot trickle down the back of my neck, and my lips moved to speak but nothing came out.
Tyki walked over to Lavi, eyes widening with a sickening pleasure painted on his face, "Let's tie him up to that light post," he said, the butterfly in his hand fluttering its wings, "I'm going to let my Tease have a little snack before the big meal."
I stood up, ignoring the fact that I couldn't see well, "Don't touch him!" I yelled, charging directly towards the two. Jasdevi smiled, hair flying towards me.
"Don't get carried away, girl!" He said with his signature maniac grin.
My eyes widened as I felt a sharp pain go through me. I looked down and saw that Jasdevis hair had gone right through me, and it was in the same damned spot where Tyki had stabbed me! I looked up, eyes narrowing, "If you touch him, you're dead!" I threatened.
Tyki smiled, "What are you going to do? You can't help your little boyfriend, not in that state." He said, and I knew it was the truth. Tyki grabbed Lavis throat, and I heard the redhead groan in pain.
"DON'T!" I yelled before Tykis hand went inside Lavi. He pulled out a kidney and frowned, "I guess I missed again…," he said, smiling at Lavis pain stricken face.
A strong gust of wind caught Jasdevi and Tyki by surprise. They both shielded their faces with their arms and stared at me. My hands were holding my elbow blades tightly, and I could feel that something was happening. It was like they were evolving… and this new power coursing through me felt good.
The two Noahs stared in horror at the scene in front of them. Jasdevi looked at Tyki, "W-what's happening?!"
"It looks like she's reached one hundred percent synchronization with her weapon," he said, pulling out a cigarette, "Let's kill her before that annoying innocence of hers has fully changed."
"Too late," I said, lifting my arms up. The elbow blades morphed into something rather huge. It was like I was holding two long shields on my arms. Even though they looked like they'd be good for defensive purposes only, I knew they could be used for wicked offensive tactics. I lifted them up and slashed at the air with them like I would do with my original blades.
Tyki and Jasdevi flew back, Jasdevi into a trashcan and Tyki through a shop window. I moved towards them, the urge to kill burning inside of me. Jasdevi pushed himself out of the garbage can, cursing under his breath. Tyki walked out of the window and turned towards me.
"Hey now, missy… those things just make you less and less attractive."
"Shut up you filthy Noah." I said darkly, "Get out of here before I kill you."
"Is that a threat?" Tyki asked, eyes widening with excitement, "Well… I guess we will be retreating for now, but don't forget we'll be finishing this fight later." He grabbed Jasdevi and held the man close. They both disappeared as the moon was cloaked in the clouds. I sighed in relief, my new anti-akuma weapon changing back to my normal elbow blades. I rushed over to Lavi and unchained him from the light post, laying his body down in a sitting position and leaning him against my chest.
"Lavi? Lavi, wake up!" I said, tears streaming down my eyes. 'He can't be dead… right?' I thought, resting my forehead on top of his spiky red hair. It was soft and the smell of sweat and blood trickled into my nostrils. I could care less if he smelled bad, we were alive. We had survived an attack by two Noahs! I found myself laughing at the thought, my sudden laughter weakening as I closed my eyes, feeling my body shut down. It must've been a picture moment, me slipping into an unconscious state and resting against Lavi, but I didn't hear any awes, just my name and Lavis being screamed throughout the empty space.

"How is my idiot pupil?"
"He's fine. His injuries weren't that severe."
"Komui, sir, the boy had his kidney ripped out!"
"You can survive with just one. Like I said, he's fine."
I opened my eyes slowly and stared at the white ceiling above me and wished I hadn't woken up. A new pain had taken place of the one before, and it was nastier. I muffled a grunt of pain with my hand and shifted my eyes over to Komui who was now towering over my bedridden self, lips curled into a smile. My eyes widened at the gigantic screwdriver he was holding and I didn't hear him say, "Good afternoon!" between the drills whirling noise.
"Err-" I paused to cough and forced a weak smile onto my face, "What are you doing here?"
"Well, after I heard the news of your victory I couldn't help but come to visit!" He said, smiling as he put the drill away. He tried to push me down when I propped myself but I merely brushed his hand away, saying I could handle it. I looked the room over and could immediately tell we were in a hospital of some sort. I was in a bed pushed up against the corner, and to my left I could see a curtain blocking the view of another bed. I looked up at Komui, eyes wide. "Lavi!"
"He's dead-"
I gasped.
"Asleep!" He finished with a sick laugh at his genius joke. I merely glared, mumbling that his joke was not funny at all. He put a hand to his mouth and cleared his throat. "Anyways, I'm also here to congratulate you on becoming the Orders newest general."
I merely blinked and raised a brow. "Say what?" I replied.
"Surely you knew?" He asked, eyebrows rising, "During the fight two weeks ago, you achieved maximum synchronization with you're anti-akuma weapon."
"How do you know?" I asked, not thinking Lavi was the one to call.
"Hevlaska, of course." Komui replied with a smile, "And of course you're assigned finder brought your injuries to our attention," he sighed and smiled, "I'm just so happy that we have another female general!" He began, practically twirling in a sort of weird dance, "There aren't a lot of them with us… Oh! If Lenalee became a general I'd have to hug her to death!"
I ignored his ramblings about his little sister and looked over at a short elderly man pushing the curtain of Lavis bed away and walking towards me. He had a lot of black around his eyes and for some reason I couldn't help but think that he looked like a panda. He took his hands out of his sleeves and held out one for me to shake, "I am grateful to you for rescuing my stupid pupil."
I smiled and shook his hand with my left since the right throbbed with pain when I merely thought of moving it. "It was no trouble."
As he finished shaking my hand, he pulled it back into his sleeves and stared at me, "I have no name, so you may call me Bookman," he paused for a few seconds and started back up, "Hevlaska told me the prediction she made when she met you."
"What prediction?" I asked with a blink.
"Don't stray off into the darkness." He said, and with that he turned to Komui, leaving me with more confusion. My eyes widened and I looked back at him, "Hey! Can I see Lavi?"
"Well, you can if you can stand. You broke your ankle, hand, almost your spine-" Komui paused and smiled, "Maybe you shouldn't know the full details. It may make you depressed that you'll be out for another week."
I could care less. I needed a damn vacation. I think that when you deal with a Noah or two, you should get a nice paid vacation for surviving. I pulled the covers off of me and ignored the plaster covering on my leg, twirling around and hopping to my feet. I fell over as quickly as I had stood, and it was to the reflexes of Bookman and Komui that I hadn't broken my neck as well. They helped me over to Lavis bed and the finder that I hadn't seen in such a long time placed a wooden chair near the bedside. I plopped down into it and looked up at the three men, "Thank you," I said with a smile.
"It's no trouble at all, Miss Selene." The finder replied.
"We should leave you alone with your lover," Komui said with a mischievous grin.
Bookman blinked and I merely blushed. "He's not my lover!" I said stubbornly.
"You can't lie," the science head said with a wink, "We heard what position you two were in when you were both unconscious!"
Bookman grabbed Komui and began dragging him out, apologizing for his remarks and closed the curtain behind them, leaving me alone with the sleeping Lavi. I looked at his peaceful face and tilted my head. He was still wearing his eye patch and I thought it was weird for him to be wearing it in a hospital. My fingers trailed over the smooth covering and I found myself lifting it up. Before I could get to the bottom of his eye, his hand shot out and grabbed mine. He looked at me, green eyes twinkling as he smiled.
"No peeking." He said, pulling the eye patch back down as I brought my hand back towards me.
"Sorry." I replied, shuffling my good foot. I felt like a shy little girl and it made me sort of mad. I went up against Tyki and Jasdevi, and they didn't make me the least bit nervous as I was now with Lavi. His hand reached out for me and he ended up pulling me towards him by the collar of a white shirt the hospital must have provided. Our gazes crossed paths, and I looked away only to be greeted by a glimpse of his chest. This made my previous blush deepen. His index finger found its way to my forehead and he poked me with it.
"Fallen for me already? That was fast." Lavi said with a smirk.
"I-I did not." I said, slapping at his hand.
"Hey! Careful there or you'll break it. I already have enough broken bones."
"I broke some too!" I snapped.
"I broke five."
"Hah! Eight, I win!" I said with a smile of satisfaction, dropping it at my immature act. What was so great about having more broken bones? None. I looked at him and frowned, "I'm just relieved to see you're alive." I mumbled, fingers wrapping against the bed sheets. "I was scared that Tyki would've got to you before I could save you…"
Lavi smiled, "It's alright. We're save now."
"But he said he was going to come back!" I replied, heart sinking at the thought.
"Don't worry," he patted my hand consolingly, "We'll be ready next time."
"But, I-"
"Ssh." Lavi put a finger to my mouth, "Shut up and give me a kiss."
"What? Is that all you can think about?!" I snapped, eyes narrowing.
He smiled at my outburst, "You know you want to." He replied calmly, "Selene, kiss me."
I glared at him and kissed him on his forehead, "There."
Lavi chuckled and put a hand behind my head, pushing me down and landing my lips against his. I had a feeling he had a lot of practice because if he didn't I'd probably have ended up kissing him on the eye or something. I felt my body become light and the pain wasn't bothering me anymore. As we kissed, a picture of Tyki flashed through my mind and the memory of him kissing me mad me pull away from Lavi. He looked up, brows raised. "What is it?"
I stared at him for a long time before a smirk crossed on my face, "That's horrible kissing, Mister Lavi."
"Oh?" He replied, "Do you want more?"
"Maybe…" I paused as Bookman yelled from the other side.
"Shut up, stupid pupil! We can hear everything!"
Lavi blushed and the color of his cheeks deepened as I started to laugh. He looked at me as if I was making fun of him and I couldn't help but smile. "You really are… an idiot." I said before locking my lips with his again.
