lostmoonchild: Hey, thanks for the reviews! I was working on this week's chapter when I managed to zone out (always turns out interesting when writing) and when I tuned back in, there was an argument written. Of course it made me smile and I think anybody who remembers the nails and hair dye argument back in "Scream" will get why. So here's this week's chapter!

Chapter Eleven
She didn't care if she wasn't supposed to leave the Ark. All Lili cared about was making sure that her brother and sister hadn't decided to sell her stuff and to see how badly her house was torn apart. From sight of the empty lot, her siblings had just decided to torch everything and be done with it.
A small scream of frustration left her lips as she kicked at a pipe that stuck out of the ground. "Tantrums get you nowhere, my precious flower." A smooth voice said.
Lili felt her heart freeze in her chest as she felt ghost arms around her, her eyes widening when she felt something solid enter her chest through her back. "Tyki." Lili said softly, her body shaking softly.
"So you do remember me. That's good. Now I won't feel so bad torturing you for what you did to me." She could feel Tyki's chest against her back and the warmth of his breath against the shell of her ear. "I didn't appreciate that, little flower."
"You were going to kill my friends and brother." Lili whispered. "I couldn't allow that."
"Well, this time I'm going to kill you first then I'm going to kill your precious Kanda-bear. After that, your brother will die and you can all be together in hell."
Her breath caught in her throat as Lili felt Tyki's hand squeeze one of her lungs, her eyes widening as she felt his hand moving about her chest cavity. Choker fluttered frantically around them as if urging her to scream but she couldn't get the breath in her lungs to scream. As black dots began to appear and her vision swam, thoughts of death began to move across her mind. So many unanswered questions and experiences that would never have a chance to surface.
Coughs shook her body as Tyki suddenly stumbled back, the air between them singing as a blade fell. Irritation crossed Tyki's features as he stared at the Japanese teenager, seeing the sword he held. "Yuu Kanda." Tyki said lightly. "Come to rescue your little fuck toy?"
A smile that sent chills down Lili's spine spread across Kanda's face, his eyes taking on an almost possessive look. "I haven't fucked her yet and neither will you." Kanda responded as he adopted a fighting stance. "Get up, baka onna!"
"My name's Lili, you blue-haired jackass! Get it right or I'm flushing all your fucking hair dye down the toilet!"
"Quit swallowing those damn nails!"
"You're just pissed cause you get mistaken for a girl!"
"Whereas you get mistaken for a man! Can't say I blame them considering how small your breasts are!"
Lili's face flushed with anger as she glared at him. She couldn't help it that her bra size was a B-cup but at least she could claim that her breasts were natural. "You. Are. A. Dead. Man." Lili snarled at him.
Tyki, apparently deciding that it wasn't worth getting into a fight with either of them while they were furious at each other, simply smirked slightly before quickly vanishing. "Let's go." Kanda said as he grabbed Lili's upper arm and began pulling her down the sidewalk.
"Let me go! Kanda, I swear I'm going to scream if you don't let me go right now." Lili warned him.
Kanda let her go and stared at the woman, excitement rushing through his body as he looked into her anger-filled eyes. "You were told to stay put." Kanda stated calmly.
Lili growled softly before shoving past him. "Something's wrong with my brother!" Lili told him. "I can't explain why but I can feel it in my gut."
"According to the baka usagi, your brother and sister don't give a rat's ass about you."
"Not that brother! Allen!"
Lili gasped softly, her body stiffening slightly. Where had that come from? Was it something she remembered from her previous life or had she truly come to think of Allen as her brother? "Whatever. Let's find the baka moyashi." Kanda said with a scowl. "When we do, somebody's ass is going to get kicked."
(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)
If there was one thing that Allen knew Neah despised with a passion, it was the fact that they weren't being followed despite the fact that he was the new Millennium Earl. As Allen and Road fought against each other, he knew that they'd have a short time before the police started showing up. While he wasn't worried about the police, he'd rather not dealing with any of them unless he wanted to get thrown back into social services.
He scowled to himself as he remembered the few times he had been labeled a runaway and placed into foster care until his family could be located. What amused him was that they had always failed although he supposed he'd be considered insane if he were to tell them the truth. In the end he had taken the path that any good liar and con would have taken. He saved his own skin and took off before people grew suspicious or began to really notice him.
The distant sound of sirens approaching reached his ears, telling Allen that it was about time to go. Suddenly a wide smile spread across Road's face as her golden eyes fell on something behind him. "Looks like everyone else wants to play too!" Road giggled.
Allen spun around and stared with wide eyes as Kanda and Lili began helping Cross with the Akuma. "Don't get too close to Cross, Lili!" Allen shouted as he started trying to keep Road from getting anywhere near them. "He's a womanizing bastard!"
"Do I look like a frigging dumbass to you?" Lili screamed, covering her head when an Akuma exploded. "I can spot asses like him a mile away!"
Road's grin grew wider as excitement appeared on her face. "Oh! She's back!" Road giggled. "Goody!"
She didn't know why but Lili had the feeling that being the object of the clearly insane girl's attention wasn't a good thing. "Flower! Yuu! Allen!" A familiar voice shouted. "Big hammer, little hammer, grow! Grow! Grow!"
A series of explosions followed as they destroyed the akuma, the sirens getting louder as they got closer. "Run for it!" Allen shouted after the final akuma had been destroyed and Road escaped.
The group of teenagers and Cross ran as fast as they could, their hearts racing against their chest as Allen quickly opened a door. "Ooh I can't stand her!" Lili screamed, ignoring one of the buildings cracking as Choker vibrated against her throat.
Allen leaned against a building before glancing at Cross. "So those old records are right. Your sister has a temper." Cross commented calmly as he lit up a cigarette. "So tell me, how exactly did you kids get mixed up with Allen?"
"Ran into him." Lili responded before turning to Allen and marching up to him. "You."
Allen pressed himself against the wall, prepared to escape if Lili began screaming at him. While he didn't doubt that Choker would be able to withstand his sister's screaming, he was still a little wary while she was still technically unstable. "Yes?" Allen said with a forced grin.
She stepped up to him so their noses were barely touching, their eyes meeting. "I want to open doors too." Lili told him.
The white-haired former Exorcist felt his blood turn cold at her statement, his breath catching in his throat. No, he couldn't let her. He couldn't put that burden on her again. "Lili-" Allen started but stiffened when the woman's fist landed next to his head.
"I will keep getting out." Lili warned him. "There's a reason you want us tucked away, me especially, but that's not going to work. Either let me open doors so I can come and go as I please, or I keep leaving without anybody knowing."
His hands were tied and they all knew it. Allen could hear Neah laughing and cheering, commenting how he knew she would eventually see things his way. What did you do? Allen shouted mentally.
"Brought our Lili just a little closer to us again." Neah responded smoothly. "The only question is, dear nephew, will you let her?"
lostmoonchild: I couldn't help but recall something I read (or heard) once. "A real man knows when to run like a little bitch." so I tip my hat to Tyki for running before he got into real trouble and to everybody else for tucking tail and running when the cops got closer. Of course a real man owns up to his responsibilities but that'll be it for my little idea of what a real man does/knows. Anyway, until next week read and review!
