I really need to get back on a weekly updating schedule…

This is stupid. There is no way we can possibly travel through space on a BOAT.

"Yuu"

And even if we did, why in the world are we looking for this supposedly destroyed portal anyways? IT'S DESTROYED.

"Yuu~"

And why are we following the advice of a Noah? We can't trust him!

"Yuu…"

The idiot Beansprout is going to get himself in even more trouble. Not that I actually care. Why the hell did I get stuck here with-

"YUU!"

"WHAT?" Kanda exploded. He could only ignore Lavi for so long before he couldn't take it anymore.

"Touchy…" Lavi muttered under his breath, although not unheard. But he ignored Kanda's anger. He was good at that.

"What did you want?" Kanda was even more annoyed now that Lavi had gotten his attention but had nothing significant to say.

"Hmm? Oh, I forgot. But maybe I would remember if you weren't so grouchy," He smiled innocently.

"Che. Whatever." But then Kanda caught a glimpse of Lavi's mischievous grin… a split second before he tripped over a pile of rope. Kanda almost face-planted, but caught himself before he even touched the ground.

Lavi and Allen started laughing hysterically, but stopped right away when they hear the sound of Mugen slowly being drawn from its sheath. Lenalee rolled her eyes.

The four exorcists, Jim, Doppler, Amelia, and B.E.N. were on Montressor Space Port. They passed through crowds of people, although none of them human, as they walked to the ship they were to be traveling on. Since the last voyage, the ship had been repaired, and was now at the far end of the shipyard.

"Here we are!" Doppler announced to the exorcists enthusiastically, "The RLS Legacy!"

"Whoa…" Allen, Lavi, and Lenalee said in union. Kanda just raised an eyebrow.

"Normally, I would hire a crew, but due to," she cleared her throat, "previous experiences, we decided against it. I'm sure we can still run a ship with eight people."

Jim and Doppler nodded in agreement. The exorcists wondered what she meant my 'previous experiences'.

They headed up the ramp leaning against the side of the ship.

*.*.*.*.*.*.*.

Wow. It still looks the same, Jim thought nostalgically as he looked around. He sighed. A bittersweet feeling built up in his chest. This ship brought back good memories… and bad. For the thousandth time he wondered if he would ever see Silver again, the only father-like figure he really ever knew…

"Jim?" A voice behind him asked. It was Allen. "Are you ok?"

"Hm? Oh, yeah," Jim smiled and tapped his forehead with his index finger, "Just brings back memories, is all".

"It really does, doesn't it?" Doppler said cheerily. Then he slightly frowned when the event of the pirates taking over the ship came in to mind. He cleared his throat and ended with a slightly comical, "Never mind".

After about an hour of checking the ship, they set sail. It was a funny sight to see when the gravity lessened. The exorcists semi-freaked out when they started floating off the ground up until B.E.N. flipped the switch to turn the artificial gravity on.

Doppler stood next to Amelia, giving her directions as he flipped his map around, trying to figure out which was north on the map. Eventually B.E.N. took over the navigating.

The four exorcists stood on the starboard side of the ship, looking over the edge at the empty space around them.

"This is amazing," Lenalee said in wonder as Lavi let out a whistle.

"Just wait 'til we get further out into space," Jim grinned, "It really is a sight to see…"

"Yuu?" Lavi looked over at the Japanese exorcist. "You ok?"

"Shut up, I'm fine," Kanda replied edgily.

"Really? You look a bit tense," Lavi grinned mischievously. "Ya scared?"

The red-head ducked when Kanda attempted to punch him in the face. Instead, his fist landed a hit on the back of Allen's head.

"What the heck was that for?" Allen yelled, cradling the back of his head with his hands.

"Che, maybe you shouldn't have been in the way," Kanda said bitterly. "Then again, I guess I could have stopped my fist before it landed- but you're so short of a bean sprout I didn't even see you standing there behind Baka Usagi".

Oh boy, Lenalee face palmed, here they go again.

"It's. Allen. A. L. L. E. N. ALLEN!"

"I really don't care. BEANSPROUT."

"Hey, guys…"

This time Kanda's fist did hit Lavi: right in the center of his face.

"Oww!" Lavi yelled, cupping his hands over his nose.

Lenalee decided she'd better end this before a bigger fight actually started.

"Hey!" She shouted, hovering slightly above them. Having her boots activated made her all the more intimidating. Everyone on the ship (including the people she wasn't even yelling at) froze at her sudden outburst. "STOP. FIGHTING. NOW."

The three exorcists looked at her uncomfortably. They were acting like a bunch of little kids and they knew it. But the fact that Lenalee had to yell and point it out made them feel all the more guilty.

The girl deactivated her innocence and walked away towards the cabins, disappearing from their view. For a few minutes later, everyone stood in silence. Lavi shifted uneasily, still holding his nose. Everyone else was waiting for one of the exorcists to break the awkward silence.

"Well," Allen said, wanting to ease the tension, "At least we know her legs have finally healed…"

In fact, all of the exorcists had healed significantly over the past few days. Kanda had no wounds whatsoever. Lavi's arm was now only wrapped in a thin layer of bandages and a small splint, no longer in a sling. Allen's bandages had been reduced to only two: one on his chest and one on his forehead. Lenalee could now walk without the crutches and activate her anti-akuma weapon. Overall they were in considerably better shape than when they had first arrived here.

For the most part of the next few hours, the three exorcists remained silent, keeping busy with little jobs that Amelia gave them. At one point, Jim and Allen both ended up in the kitchen peeling potatoes.

"So," Jim tried to start a conversation, "Does that happen often?"

"Which part, the fighting or Lenalee yelling?" Allen gave Jim a small smile.

"Both, I guess".

"Well, Kanda and I argue more than I'd like to admit. If no one stopped us, we could go on fighting for hours over something stupid," Allen trailed on. "Now that I think about it, we usually don't fight in front of Lenalee. She hates it when we fight. I guess maybe it's because, well–"

Then Allen's eye activated.

And I shall leave you hanging (Muahahahahaha!) Sorry, I just really wanted to update this as soon as possible, and this seemed like a good stopping point~

As always, please let me know if there are any mistakes that need fixed!

And please review! It gives me inspiration and motivation to continue! ^_^

*hugs*
