A knock on the door awoke me from my slumber, just whose room did I end up in?

"Koumi wants to see you!" Allen said loudly.

I ended up in Allen's room? I got off the bed and rearranged my uniform, "Sorry about showing up in your room, I'm coming." I answered walking to the door.
"Actually," he paused, "It's Kanda's you better come out before he comes back, I managed to find you by sheer luck."

I jerked, Kanda's room? I opened the door and quickly closed it behind me, and began to follow Allen when I heard footsteps, I turned.

"What were you doing near my room?" he asked angrily.

"Sorry, Kanda we just got a little lost and she tripped so I helped her up, but we're good now," Allen said hurriedly.

He grunted, "That better just be all…" then he slithered into his room.

I then realized my hair was completely blocking my vision, I combed it out with my fingers, Allen turned around and parted my bangs, "You know if your hair was a shade of blue you would look like Kanda's little sister."

I pushed it back and up, "If Koumi wants to see me then it's probably important, like a mission so we shouldn't keep him waiting." I grumbled slipping on a pair of gloves to cover up my recently acquired innocence markings, budded roses on the tops of my hands.

We reached his office and Allen fled as if he was going to be shot on sight, a blue haired man sat on the couch eyes closed and an anger mark on his face. "If I'm teamed up with Moyashi, and if he makes me wait any longer I'm going to leave," Kanda said angrily. (AN: Don't ask me how he got there faster than she did…)

"Not Allen, in fact this would be her second mission." Koumi answered from behind clasped hands.

Kanda opened his eyes and looked at me, recognition running across his face, "You're the one, the akuma!" he exclaimed standing up.

"I see you've already met," Koumi observed "You two are going to search for innocence or an innocence user in a village where very strange incidents have been occurring, such as people disappearing and coffins sealed shut with blood stains on the sides. So either someone can tell who is an akuma or we have a serial killer."

We boarded the train, he stared out the window keeping a tight silence between us, rain pattered on the window, thunder sounded.

Unbidden a memory came, of me racing on wet cobblestones, running for my life, a figure appeared in front of me I halted it was not the one I was running from and they seemed faintly familiar. They knelt down, "Selicia?" they asked. I nodded coming a little closer, they reached out with a hand, "I know relatives of yours, do you want me to take you to them?" I nodded again and excepted the hand, darkness blurred around me and I knew no more.

….

Someone shook me, I opened my eyes realizing the train had stopped, Kanda stood above me hands on my shoulders, so he was the one shaking me… "Are we there?" I asked.

He nodded then stepped out of the car (A.N: I honestly don't know what those little compartments on trains are called.) I got up following shortly afterwards, Does he even have feelings other than anger? I thought suddenly.

"Oi!" he called, "We're almost there, keep your mind inside you head." He stopped turning slightly in my direction, "why were those akuma after you?" he asked, then began forward.

"Those akuma were there to kill any exorcist, especially Allen since he was already weak." I answered quickly.

"Then why… did it seem like they were especially after you..?" he asked softly.

Awkward silence followed until we reached the mortician, "We opened the coffins and all we found was ashes, as if they had been burned, but the ashes are black and by the signs of struggle it seems like they were in the coffin, while they burned, but strangely there aren't any scorch marks on the coffin." He explained leading us to the coffin.

I reached towards it and jerked back… this incurable feel of evil akuma, I looked to Kanda he nodded in agreement. "Thank you we'll take care of these," I said to the mortician.

He nodded slightly confused, "I'm glad I was able to help," as he turned away I saw a slight gleam in his eyes, they flickered to a curtain then to the door. "Well if that's all, I was wondering if you had planned anywhere to stay."

Kanda shook his head to my surprise, "No, we didn't have any plans, do you have any suggestions?"

"We have a couple of rooms upstairs, you can use those," he responded, another gleam.

I grabbed Kanda pulling him away, "What are you thinking do you see that evil gleam in his eye?" I asked, "He could very well be a killer."

Kanda shook his head smirking slightly, "Not him, but the people hiding behind that curtain," he answered, walking back to the mortician. "We'll take them, for tonight,"

"Wonderful, I'll show you to them," he responded leading us up the stairs, he opened a door revealing a bedroom with a single bed and couch.

"I'll take the couch," I said quickly setting my stuff down and sitting down, Kanda followed in.

The man left leaving us to get situated, Kanda turned to me, "You take the bed, I'll sleep on the couch, it's closer to the door," he said in a commanding tone.

"I'm good, I can defend myself," I responded proudly.

He came over and lifted me off of the couch and dumped me on the bed, "Like I said I'll take the couch." He plopped down.

I stood up and stared out the window looking down at the street only to revive another memory of a tattered girl running down blood soaked cobblestones, I turned away and the finder who entered the room mirrored my ghostly face.

A knock came and the mortician entered, "I've got some food, if you want any,"

"Thank you, sir." I responded taking the tray.

He blushed slightly, "Call me Eldren," he said, then exited closing the door behind him looking slightly regretful.

I set the tray on the table, "Who's hungry?" I asked taking a bowl.

Kanda stood up taking it out of my hands and took a huge bit, "Jesus, Kanda you could have just asked, I didn't know you were that hungry." He wavered slightly, I grabbed him and sat him on the couch before he fell down.

I turned to the finder to find he had collapsed on the floor, I checked their breathing and pulse… asleep? Some sort of sleeping tonic? I thought.

Kanda stirred, looking at me, "I take it you didn't eat any…"

"You recovered..?" I asked then patted the finder on the cheek, he's completely out of it…

"It's no use; it was a very strong dose of sleeping tonic," he explained getting up.

"Then how did you…?" I asked softly, the door opened and black-robed people floated in.

The knife pierced him before I could even blink; he gasped in shock then turned to the one stabbing him and knocked him down. "Get the demon, he is definitely not human!" they shouted floating closer.

I seized one of them, "Kanda, be careful they're human, they must be the ones killing the akuma…" something jabbed into my arm. I turned finding one of the black-robed people pressing a needle into my arm, their hood fell down, Eldren…
