Chapter 12

True enough, once the small group of exorcists came to the Sagrada Familia, a carriage was waiting for them. Aiki who was the newest one in the group marvelled of the service they got just for being chosen by the innocence.

"All right everyone, get a seat" Cloud said giving Lulubell a warning look.

Lulubell who had been giving a finder a smile equal to a cat grinning at a mouse walked inside the carriage and sat down at a window seat her back towards the driver. She was soon followed by Kitty who sat next to her, Aiki who sat opposite Lulubell on the other side of the carriage's seats, and Lenalee who sat next to Aiki.

Cloud turned to the finders. "We need to get to HQ as fast as possible, but don't strain the horses to much. When we cross the border I want to know about it, is that clear?"

"Hai general Cloud Sama."

"Good… and Arthur… I'm sorry about Lulubell; she is trying her hardest to fit in."

"It's no problem ma'am, I understand."

Cloud smiled and climbed onto the carriage and sat down next to Lenalee.

"All right ladies we have a long trip ahead of us. We will be notified when we cross the border. I suggest we use the time we have till then to get all facts about each other on the table, trust is essential from 1 exorcist to another. Lulubell why don't you start?"

Lulubell sighed. "This is for the look I gave the finder right?"

"Just start Lulubell."

"Hai." Lulubell looked towards Aiki. "As mentioned before, the exorcist live to defeat the millennium earl and his akuma… and also on his team, the earl has the Noah family."

Aiki nodded understanding so far.

"The Noah family is descendants from Noah's family from Noah's ark, and each one of the 14 members has one of the original Noah's feelings."

Aiki continued to nod, still following, Kitty to listening in. All she knew about the Noah's was what her brother had told her through letters.

"Currently" Lulubell said with a sigh. "2 Noah's are traitors to the rest of the family. One is the 14th Noah; better known as the musician… he was tracked down and killed by the rest of the family."

"And the other?" Aiki asked.

"That would be me" Lulubell said with a sigh. "Also 1 Noah is dead, thanks to the exorcist, but else than that, the entire family is alive."

Lenalee looked up from her seat. "What? But Krory defeated 2 Noah's… ok they counted as 1, but still."

"You mean Jasdevi?" Lulubell said with a small smirk. "Not dead, only in a coma for about 4 weeks."

Lenalee groaned. "Oh man Krory is not going to like this."

"Anyways" Lulubell said continuing to talk. "As I said each Noah has his or hers special ability that only they can use. Mine is transformation, I can turn into anything I want… or at least could, I don't know if it still works."

"What do you mean?" Kitty asked.

"Well the Noah powers and the innocence are each others weaknesses. And because of the innocence in my forehead, each time I go Noah so to speak, my head starts to throb."

"What do you mean going Noah?" Aiki asked, being slightly intrigued.

Lulubell sighed and looked to Cloud, as if asking for permission. Cloud sighed but nodded.

Lulubell smiled and looked towards Aiki again, Aiki jumping slightly as Lulubell's skin turned grey. Lulubell smiled as she felt the stigmata's in her forehead appearing, and noticed her hair turning black.

Kitty blinked in amazement as Lulubell's eyes turned golden yellow finishing the transformation.

"I am going to be honest with you" Lulubell said mostly to Kitty and Aiki. "If you meet anyone who looks like this, and know that you are an exorcist… you will die."

"That's enough Lulubell" Cloud said scowling. "Enough with the scaring, you can turn back now before your headache starts again."

Lulubell nodded and turned back to her human self again, slightly shaking her head. "Man that hurt" she muttered rubbing her forehead. "Right then, enough back story, I am the 5th Noah, The Noah of lust, and as most Noah's I am not a people person. In fact, if this innocence hadn't come and forced itself on me I would most likely be plotting on destroying mankind right this very minute. But, here I am, and if I refuse to help out, I am as good as dead… I try my best to become a better person, but it's harder then you think."

Kitty smiled and hugged Lulubell. "Aww it's ok Lulu we are here for you."

Lulubell huffed, blushing, not really comfortable with visible affection.

"Very well then if that is all you wish to share" Cloud said with a smile, Lulubell nodding and drew out her deck of cards again to lay down a new solitaire.

"Very well Lenalee, why don't you go next?"

Lenalee nodded and started to talk; smiling to her self as she noticed that even Lulubell was listening, even if she was trying hard to hide it.
