I woke my elbows rubbed against wood, ropes restricted my arms, my eyes popped open and I found the black-robed people. One held a dagger above my chest, I jerked, it stabbed into my side digging between my ribs. Another shockwave shot through me, Innocence I thought ripping apart the ropes. "Who?" I growled startling the group.
One of them stepped forward holding a blood covered dagger, "Who me? The one to exterminate you, killer of your family,"
I twitched partly at the wound, but mostly at the comment, "How?" I asked softly.
She crept forward, "I can just tell when someone has killed their kin, your father and sister?" she asked.
I jerked, "Have you been killing the people like me?" I asked.
She shook her head grinning, "Not killing exterminating, we just finished off your demonic friend not too long ago, though we left the human alone," she answered coming with the dagger bared.
I backed away, "I have no intention of dying, any time soon, and you would be very helpful for the organization I work for, if you were willing to join." I suggested trying to push down the pain.
"Do you have any idea what I have already done, I've already ridden this world of vermin like you who disguises yourself as human." She growled.
A knife stabbed through my side, my vision darkened and a voice came to my mind, "I'll take care of them, I'll try not to kill the innocence user, but there are no guarantees if she resists,"
My body moved on its own knocking down the black-robed group, they got up again unsheathing hidden knives. My fingers spread apart and the air knocked them back pressing them against the walls.
Something slid into my back piercing my lung; I whipped around sideswiping their head knocking them down and unconscious. I proceeded to strangle them to death; a hand seized my arm caked in blood itself, splinters of wood dropped from it as it healed.
I turned calming myself finding Kanda caked in his own blood and covered in bits of wood, blood seeped from my wounds. I spat out the blood that had began to fill my mouth, "I take it you were sealed in a coffin," I said jokingly finding myself on wobbling legs.
He took my arm more firmly, "Baka, even though you didn't take any of the sleeping tonic you still managed to get captured." He looked around, "Where's the innocence user?" he asked.
I pointed to the one a few feet from us, who was completely unconscious, "Sorry, she wasn't agreeing with me, so I had to rough her up a little." I said weakening I fell and strong arms caught me.
…..
I woke, laying on a soft bed, in a hotel, so we haven't gone back to headquarters, I wonder why? I thought raising myself to a sitting position, I slid to my feet, my muscles quivered and I sat back down. Guess that explains one thing… where are the others, Kanda probably shouldn't be walking about he also got stabbed. I managed to get to my feet and take a couple of steps towards the door before it swung open, Kanda in the doorway.
"What do you think you are doing?" he asked angrily.
"Getting out of bed, what are you doing walking around all fine and dandy?" I retorted.
"It's because I'm already healed," he responded giving no further explanation. "Get back in the bed and rest, I don't want to haul your butt back into it again."
I turned away blushing, then sat down on the bed, "Why haven't we gone back to headquarters?" I asked, "Is it because of the innocence user?"
He nodded slowly, "Apparently she won't move from her spot until she talks to you." He responded.
"Then I'll just talk to her really quick, so we can get going," I responded standing up and beginning to move towards the door.
He appeared in front of me wrist in a death grip, "You will rest until you are healed then you will talk to her, I don't need you passing out on me or even dying because you are so weak."
I slipped my wrist from his grasp, "I'm weak am I?" I muttered I made it out the door and began down the stairs, because this was the only room upstairs. I clamored down a couple of stairs before nearly falling on my face, an arm caught me, "Baka, both you and Moyashi have a death wish, but since you're already this far I'll take you the rest of the way."
"Than-!" I started as he lifted me up carrying me down the stairs and into a separate room. He set me down on a couch across from the young woman, who was the innocence user.
"So you finally decided to see me," she grumbled.
I gave a short laugh, "No, it's because I only just woke up and I really shouldn't be moving around much." I retorted slightly angered, "What was it you wanted to talk to me about?" I asked leaning forward slightly.
"Your ability, did you get that from becoming an exorcist, you know when you made my men fly into the walls without even touching them." She inquired.
I gave another laugh, "I learned how to use my innocence, which in this case allows me to control elements, and people, yours is going to be different, but unique to you." I responded.
She frowned, "So that's a no?"
I shook my head smiling, "Depending on your type of innocence, weapon or parasitic, it effects your ability, Kanda here uses sword techniques, I explained, you probably will use dagger techniques, but sometimes your innocence can evolve to the situation." I explained.
"So if I become an exorcist I can defeat those family murdering creatures? And protect what is important to me?" she asked.
I nodded smiling, "That's a good physiology. By the way they're called akuma they serve the millennium Earl, he creates them so he can eventually destroy the world," I explained.
She looked down thinking, then she looked to Kanda, "I want to speak to her alone," she said quietly.
Kanda looked hesitant it was as if he actually cared… "Kanda it's alright, I can take care of myself and I doubt you let her keep her weapon." I said smirking at him.
