They had grey skin. I stared at them, getting quite scared now. No one had grey skin, except for…

"Oh god…"

"Finally seen it?" asked Debitto, with a smirk placed sternly on his face. Jasdero was so serious, so… unlike himself. They both were, and I was completely frozen. They approached and my legs were trembling even more.

"You hadn't expected that, huh?" Debitto grinned and Jasdero giggled.

I was shocked. This shouldn't happen, for GODS SAKE this shouldn't happen. This couldn't happen. It was a lie, just a stupid nightmare. In about a moment, I would wake up and…
No. It was real. This was seriously real.
I thought about what to do. Should I start running, or fight them? No, that was stupid since I couldn't do any martial arts… but I had to get away… I had to.

I'm so dumb… I blindly believed in all they said and didn't consider that they were maybe just lying. They were liars… Jasdero and Debitto had just acted the whole time, and now they… but what are they going to do with me? They won't… no, no, NO!

My heart was beating fast; so fast that I couldn't follow, but it hurt. It hurt so fucking much!

"Why…?" I asked, my legs being unsure whether to back away or keep staying and trembling. "You…"

"We're just doing our job. But I guess you know what it is, since that white haired brat told you everything. Right, Yumi?"

"Don't call me that!" I shut my mouth right after, using my hand to cover up. I didn't know what to say. It just streamed out of my mouth. What could I say? Maybe in about a moment, I wouldn't even be able to say anything. That thought kept nagging me. And the corpses didn't make it any better. The disgusting smell of blood and dead human was in the air.

They had also known everything about what I was doing. They even knew about Allen Walker.

I couldn't stop staring frightened at them. The stigmata looked deep, and their yellow eyes were not like the blue ones. Not at all. These scared me and made me want to cry. They shined in the little bit of darkness that was coming.

"Are you scared, hii?"

I gasped, when he suddenly appeared behind me, breathing into my shoulder coldly. But when I turned around, he was gone again, faster than a human could be. Debitto laughed, big and sarcastically, like he was enjoying my state of fear. I'm sure he was.

"You're weak," said Debitto casually, "Not like that old vampire hag. He was fun to fight, but you're not even able to use your innocence yet."

That was right. My innocence… if I could figure out some kind of way to… no, I couldn't kill them. I couldn't, even though I knew they had lied and betrayed me. I just couldn't… that was over my limit.
But they weren't my friends anymore. Apparently, they had never been, but it was only me, who had lived in a big ignorance. They had known it from the start; that they were going to kill me. The words hurt to say. It hurt to look at them, the smiles on their faces and their Noah appearances. I didn't like to realize who they really were. I couldn't even manage to look them in the eyes.

I had decided to finally do it. My legs trembled, but I unsurely started to run as fast as I could, hoping strongly to get away.

The satisfaction by finally being on my way away from them, made me confident, and the firs gaped over me the closer I approached. My stomach growled loudly, but I just tried to ignore it.
My heart first began to beat anxiously, when I could hear steps behind me. They were running too, but undoubtedly much faster than me.

I was lost already. I could impossibly survive this.

I stared terrified out in front of me, when someone made me trip. My feet slipped immediately, and I fell down into the dirty ground. I could feel how it hurt in the wound already, when the soil and stones drilled into it.

"Like you could escape from us… why do you even try?"

"Because she's afraid, hii."

"Oh yeah…" his smile straightened," Fear."

"No…"

"No…?" Jasdero lifted his eyebrow curiously.

"I thought you were…"

The branches were squashed underneath me, when my legs were getting up. "I THOUGHT YOU WERE MY FRIENDS!" I screamed, and the tears started to stream uncontrollably down my cheeks. I hiccupped, and covered my mouth and muffled the last sentence out. "I thought that I had finally met someone that could understand me…"

Debitto grimaced and frowned. "Well, but then you thought wrong!" He turned to his twin and pointed out in the thin air, hesitant. "Get Tyki or Road, and let's get to the room. I have the key, but we're missing the door."

Jasdero nodded and started to run faster than my eyes could follow.

I didn't really want to cry, since it felt humiliating, but at that time, I didn't really know what was wrong with me. It was like my whole world had collapsed in no time. Now I just felt like… dying.

"I've never liked you, and neither has Jasdero. It was hard… to act like a normal human, but we actually made it." His voice was sounded cheerful but insane at the same time, and he let out a tiny laugh. "It has been hard to be so close to someone else… and most of all, I just felt like throwing up every time I saw you."

He pushed me into a tree and placed a hand tightly around my neck. It was ice-cold. I could feel how it got harder to breathe, and I gasped for air. The tough bark staged my back.

"You have no idea, how much I've waited for this…" exclaimed Debitto, " I almost can't hide my tension."

Suddenly, an enormous flash light came, and I looked shocked and dizzily behind Debitto. I let out a yelp, though I knew they wouldn't care anyway. No matter what I did, it would be over soon. I had gotten into too many problems now, so there was no sneaky ways to get out of this.

A strange door appeared. The corners were golden and decorated, and generally, the whole thing looked colorful and special with so many details around the patterns.

It opened, and from that moment on, I regretted everything I'd ever been sharing with those two.

I'm sure you won't believe this, when I tell you, but…

I met two strange guys.

The first one was very confident and had a strong will

The second one was generous and very lively.

I liked both of them; actually, so badly, that I just couldn't survive a moment without them. It felt like I was almost becoming dependant on them.

They were just like drugs.

I didn't like the thought that they started to become more troubling. So much that simply my whole school broke down and ended up as a big mess.

Actually so much that I had to leave. I needed to get away; to get stronger, and try to resist their being.

I needed to know, that I could survive on my own.

But now, I won't get the chance for that.

-Because now, I will die.

And they will be the ones to end it all.

Men in brownish clothes explored the whole town. They went down to every single little detail and tried if they could find the answer on everything that looked suspicious. Just a single blood stain and they became worried, like some silly women.
There were also a few, who wore black uniforms, and looked more significant with their shiny patterns. Allen Walker, Lavi, Lenalee and Kanda were there. They had parted up to go search for a sign of murder – or something worse.

I looked sulkily down from the building, I was sitting on. I swung my legs back and forth out on the edge. "Why did I get this task…?" I asked casually to myself, "I would rather have stayed together with the others…"
"Oh, that's right", I said and scrambled my voice, so it sounded just like Tyki's, "You've just been sitting there anyway and played with your creepy dolls the whole day, so why not go out and get some fresh air, Road?"

I grimaced at the flowing akuma up in the air. They looked uglier than usual, so I just felt like getting rid of them in some kind of way. I sighed, and pulled my legs up to my chin. All the humans were swarming around down on the ground, all confused and small like ants. Soon the investigation would come up here, so I would have to get ready.

I had even made my hair look more pretty than usual, because I knew Allen would come here, but maybe that had just been a waste of time. I didn't even care anyway. I was sure he wouldn't really notice it.

All of sudden a gust of wind came, and I moved away just in the moment, I could feel a sword touch my throat slightly. The blood spurted out, but as soon as I had been hit, my wound healed. I smiled with delight, when I grabbed around his wrist.

"Road…" snorted Kanda, "I will finish you off".

My smile became twisted and sadistic, as I pushed him away from me right after the clench. Akuma flew towards him, and he swung his sword with ease, while he at the same time ran in direction of me. Blood splattered out, as he cut several akuma into half. They shot after him, but Kanda avoided the attacks.

I avoided getting hit by the sharp blade; swung myself from side to side and snuck up behind his back.

"I know you've got something to do with what's happened here," he exclaimed and tried once again to hit me, but without any luck.

I looked innocently at him and lifted my eyebrow. "And how can you be so sure about that, exorcist?"

He panted and attacked again, but chopped into the harsh ground. "The murders, Road. No human would do anything that devious around here!"

And akuma went in his way and he cut through it, starting in the middle. Without as much as moving a finger, sharp candles emerged. They, at first, got balance in the air and then rushed towards him. He swung himself quickly and barely blocked them.

"Heh…" I grinned.

"Kanda!" yelled a voice some distance away from us. Allen Walker. I stared at him, already getting excited. Finally, he had arrived.

My candles changed direction, and in about two seconds i thought they would be able to hit him, but his arm transformed quickly into an anti akuma weapon. "Crown Clown!" His white mask appeared, and the long cape blew in the air. My candles fell down on the ground, smashed and useless.

"Then you finally came, Beansprout…" sighed Kanda.

"My name's Allen!"

Now it would have been finny – if just the long haired exorcist hadn't been there. I would rather have kept Walker for myself this time.

Suddenly they both rushed towards me. Coincidentally, an akuma blocked their attack once again, and I stepped a bit back to give it enough space. "So you're trying to solve the problems in this town, eh?"

They exchanged looks, before they killed the devilish weapon in front of them. "What do you know about this, Road?", asked Allen, without going into a battle position. He simply walked toward me. I stared at his white clothes, and in a shocking split second, I thought I saw the 14th. I pushed the thought away, as soon as it came. He was dead; not here anymore.

"Well I don't know anything."

"Don't try to act dumb. There were three people who died and one badly injured. Several persons said that they saw something suspicious going on around here."

"Jasdevi", I said bluntly. They both stared at me, confused. Kanda raised his sword slightly. I could see how the sweat was running down his forehead. "Jasdevi were here; not me. I'm just here to delay you."

They didn't say anything, so I continued. "Allen, you were here to meet the new exorcist. I know everything that has been going on here for quite some time; even about the letter."

Allen looked shocked. "How…"

"But the letter was revealed for not only me, because a certain person lost it on her way away."

I little waving golem appeared behind Kanda. It was obviously belonging to him. It scrapped, like there was a bad signal, but I could hear the voice clearly: "Kanda! You must immediately… return home… there's been a train crash! A crowd of akuma is on their way over to you… and you're outnumbered! Kanda, can you hear me! Kanda!"

Allen stared at the black little winged thing. "Reever…"

I lifted my hand up in the air and pressed my palm together against itself. The golem broke into half and fell down on the ground as bits. Small sparkles were the last thing it let out. "Well I say that you're not going anywhere", I said casually and looked at them getting ready to fight.

"Road…" snarled Kanda and Allen tilted his head unsurely.

"You wanna know what happened here?" I asked, like it wasn't even worth explaining it that much.

I would have sung a song, if I had any on my mind at that time, but instead, I would let them play a little guessing game. "A; that is the first syllable… Yu; the second. Her last name means 'darkness', so can you guess who she is?" I smiled, getting expectant now.

They were both confused. Kanda groaned and leaped towards me, getting ready to hit me. "Kaichu: Ichigen!" he yelled while being up in the air, ready to chop down with his sword.

"Her name is…" I hesitated, before he attacked, "Ayumi Kurayami". I said her name with despair, making it sound miserable. Allen twitched.

"Kanda, we don't have time for this!"

He abruptly stopped and glared madly at his companion. "What the hell do you mean 'we don't have time for this'?"

"She's playing tricks with us! You heard Reever; there was a train crash, so we should better get going. There's only one train going around here, so I know what way we should follow!"

Kanda growled. "Tch… don't tell me what to do, Beansprout", he muttered, while he placed the sword firmly in the uniform. Allen started to run.
Lenalee and Lavi appeared, apparently just coming up from the stairs. "Hey Allen, Yu! What's happened? Found anything?"

"No time for talk" Allen was fast, and already ran in between the two and on his way down.

Lenalee saw me, slightly getting into a position, ready to fight, but Lavi pulled her with him as he realized what they had to do. Stupid exorcists. I shook my head and giggled, already hearing the explosions from down on the ground, where the akuma had started to attack.

It was already too late to find her…

"Arrgh" I coughed as I was violently pushed down on the ground; no, a floor. I barely managed to look around me, before they had once again kicked me in the stomach. But at least I had seen the basic things in the room. It was big; book shelves were around everywhere, gaping over us. It looked like a library, but there was very cold.

Jasdero giggled and Debitto laughed, like they already knew what was going to happen. It was like they had a plan; and they had perhaps had it planned from the beginning. It frightened me that I was completely ignorant about what was going on. They hadn't even triumphed about, what they would do to me.

"Ah, finally home!" exclaimed Debitto and stretched his arms lazily.

"Hii hii" Jasdero jumped around like a little child, and I couldn't help but look at the moving light bulb over his head. I still held my arms tightly around my stomach, because it hurt like hell. It was quite some time ago, I had felt a pain this intense.

It was like they had forgotten me in a moment; that I was actually lying on the floor and had just been kicked. But Debitto suddenly stared at me, and it was like his charisma changed. What had before been a smile became a grimace. He sent his twin a quick look, before bending down in front of me. My eyes moved uneasily around, when his golden ones considered me for a moment.

"You're an exorcist…" he started, "So why don't you use your innocence?"

I was confused, but however got something pressed out of my mouth, though my voice was as unsure as the before I met them. "I- I don't…"

"Heh, you fucking weak, you are. You couldn't even get over to the Black Order by train", he said casually, and grabbed around one of my long curls. I became afraid by the way he twirled it around his finger, curiously, and then let go. "It really surprises me, that you managed to run away from the akuma vi had sent over there."

I stared at him. "A… ku… ma?"

The creatures… the ones that had attacked the train, the conductor and all the passengers. Jasdero and Debitto… sent them over there? But where am I even now?

Like he had just read my thought, he answered bluntly. "We're in the ark."

I gave him an incomprehensible look.

"Millennium Earl controls this place… we're Noah."

"N-Noah…?"

That reminded me of something, I had once heard about in school. Something, we had been told for a long time ago, when i was still a little girl. Noah's ark. Yes, there could notbe anything else, and if that was true, the person who controlled this place 'Millennium Earl', then he could possibly be… Adam.

"We don't use innocence, hii" explained Jasdero, "We've got Dark Matter. We're descendants and we've inherited the Noah genes."

"But now, we shouldn't spend too much time talking, right?"

It wasn't even a question.

I tried to breathe for air, when Debitto once again held me up by my neck. My voice was indistinct and could possibly not reach him. It went fast. Suddenly there was exuberant unrest in my body and I was flung across the floor. My head pounded into a book shelf with a thud, and the rest of my body was numb and had no energy at all. Now I would, again, wish that I was able to fight.

"What do you say, Jasdero… shall we do it?"

There was something weird between them, like their voices were twisted and excited at the same time. To be blunt, they actually sounded 'insane'. Jasdero nodded. They both pulled pistols out from their jackets. I stared, horrified. Were they going to shoot me? I closed my eyes, hoping to at least avoid seeing the blood.

But they weren't directing to me.

They pointed to themselves; Jasdero at Debitto's head, and Debitto at Jasdero's.

It made absolutely no sense. I could barely keep my eyes open, as much as it hurt, but I could slightly see a glimpse of a weird aura. It was like the air suddenly became heavy.

Bang!

They shot.

Their shadows melted together and disappeared into a massive hole, which spun around in a spiral. There was smoke oozing out from their indistinct heads and fog was all over the place. I couldn't believe what I had just seen. Why would they suddenly commit a double suicide and shoot themselves? Where was I and what was going to happen? I would really wish that I could get away from here… but still…

… Anyway I was destined to die.
