Both Noah got out of the room, faces bored. The walls had stuck about halfway and, with nothing more to do, the golden eyed people got out of there (by the door which, for some weird reason, had opened when the walls stopped moving) and went their way backwards. Maybe they had missed something on the way….
Meanwhile, Kanda was spouting out curses in all the languages he knew and are not K+ rated as he cut the very annoying mummy in front of him. Annoying as in it was still moving after having it's left arm and head separated from its body. Faintly he supposed that since it was dead already there was no need for a head but still… it was freaking annoying.
"Simply-" a slash with Mugen "-stay-" cut the thing's right leg "-Down!" his eye twitched when the mummy started dragging itself in his direction. With no pity he neatly cut it in half. It stopped moving. With a glare it the mummy's direction he put his precious Katana in its usual place.
He restarted to walk but a sound made him stop. He glanced over his shoulders and, in anime style, a vein appeared on his face. The mummy apparently could stick together again and it has friends with blades.
The samurai wannabe narrowed his eyes at the scene, studying his options. He could fight against those things and let the mission for later or try to lose them (though it's not as if they are exactly fast) and prioritize the mission. He growled.
The mission was more important than fighting those things however, he didn't like the feeling of running away. 'Oh well. Let's end this already' he thought as he started running to the opposite direction of the undead. The faster he finishes this mission, the faster he could get to eat his soba.
While Kanda was fighting that mummy, Lavi was going through the obstacle course, managing to get to the end of it with some small cuts and scratches… and a bruise or two. He sighed in relief and sat down, regaining his breath.
When he had rested enough, he continued his walk, carefully watching and memorizing the walls and the floor. He didn't want another surprise like that thank you very much!.. besides, Bookman wouldn't be happy if he had nothing interesting to show on his report.
He stopped at a dead end. "You must be kidding…" he muttered, looking around. He would not go through that again.
The redhead noticed some hieroglyphs near. He put his hands on the wall and had them roam around it. "There must be something around here!" as soon as he said it, his left hand found a switch and the wall moved to show a stone staircase going down. He shrugged "Better than going through that trap again."
And so his decision was made and down he went. The moment he was on the stairs the wall slid back together. Lavi blinked "No way back then."
Allen's new head appendages twitched at the crackling sound from the torches around him. The shadows formed by these lights gave the hall a creepy look and his nervousness could be easily seen by the moving from his tail and the occasional glance above his shoulder, half expectant to find a mummy or something in those lines behind him (somewhere above, Kanda looked over his shoulder to see that the mummy and its friends were still following him and swore).
Suddenly, but not really unexpectedly, the corridor parted in two. He looked at both of them, annoyed there was no sign or anything. So, he simply used what he deemed best for the situation.
"Eeny, meeny, miny, moe,
Catch the tiger by the toe.
If it hollers let him go,
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe, you are it!" and then he went left.
A few minutes later, a portion of the wall near the intersection slid open and from it Lavi came out. He looked around in surprise and whistled "Don't tell me there's a welcoming committee near?" he gripped his weapon as the wall disappeared from behind him "Wonder if they're nice…"
He looked at the ground and bent down "This is… white hair?... Allen!" with that he ran to the left hall. He didn't notice the noise from little ways behind him nor the wall covering up the corridor he just took.
The Noah managed to find the switch Allen accidently pushed yet, they didn't fell down like he did. No, they went down with a lot more grace and less bruises.
Tyki's hand twitched, his want for a cancer stick acting up. He sighed as the smaller Noah went skipping ahead of him, already noticing the footsteps on the floor. Someone seriously should think of cleaning all that dust up.
Kanda growled low on his throat as he stopped and turned around, Mugen already in his hands. He hadn't managed to shake them up or find another way to go (vaguely he thought he had been already to that hallway even though he only went forward) so he would fight.
The mummy walked with a limp but fast enough to manage not to lost him. The exorcist narrowed his cobalt eyes. Why did it seem as if the mummy was mocking him?
One of its friends threw an axe at him and he dodged to the side, his hand on the wall to help steady himself. When he felt the wall give, he looked at his hand and then beneath him. A trapdoor opened and he only had time to catch its edge with one hand, the other grabbing his katana. With effort he put his katana on his hip and cursed his luck and looked down. He recognized a flicker of light down there. He turned his attention up and saw the mummy looking (?) at him. The samurai wannabe had the feeling it was grinning.
With annoyance he let go of the edge...
But not without grabbing that thing's leg and dragging it with him that is.

Wow an update!.. that should have appeared somewhere last month ^.^;. Personally I have no real idea where this is going, I'm just going along with what appears on my head... I don't even know where half this chapter came (it wasn't supposed to go this way... oh well too late to change it now)
I've been very busy actually. With tests, homework, laziness, getting sick and falling face first on the ground while in my PE class (my nose huuurts!)
... please forgive me for this very late update? Remember, I can only finish this while alive!
And please review as it makes me very happy and more eager to start the next chapter?
