"There the akumas are gone." Allen said as Lenalee cried,

"Midnight! Kanda! Marie! General Tiedoll!" Looking over Midnight waved as she ran over hugging Allen, Lenalee and Leon.

"We're going on ahead. Good luck finding General Cross. Oh and Leon - level up and kick ass."

"You know it." They hi-five each other as she went back over to Kanda's side before leaving.

"Well let's go, no time to lose." Leon said. In the distance a black cat with a bell around it's neck purred, then disappearing in the shadows after watching them for awhile.

"We should stop at a hotel for the night."

"Yeah, it's been a long day." Leon said as Allen yawned.

"Yo! Allen! Lenalee! Leon!"

"Hey Lavi! Krory! Your back from your mission? And, hello Bookman."

"Hello," He said to Leon as Krory sighed,

"It didn't go how I planned."

"Well your alive, let's head out." Leon said as they nodded walking on. After heavy rain started to pour, they tried to find a vacant hotel room but it seemed impossible! It was hopeless until Leon said,

"Look! Over there!"

"Leon! Your amazing!" Walking in a tall blond with glasses walked in.

"Hello, are you looking for a place to stay?"

"Yes, two rooms if you have it...?"

"We do, have a nice stay you can pay when you leave."

"Sweet!" Krory gasped, "What about food?"

"I'm sorry but we don't have that here."

"Oh," Krory muttered as Lavi re-assured him as they split the room: Lenalee, Leon and Bookman in room one. Then in room two was Allen, Krory and Lavi.

"Why does Leon get all the luck?"

"Because he can be trusted and also it was picked at random..." Allen said somewhat sacrificially as Krory sighed,

"Well it could be worst."

"True." Lavi said, then muttered, "I wish Midnight was with us."

"Careful you on Leon's death list still." Allen said turning off the lights.

"Okay, okay, that's great, thanks brother."

"So what did he say?" Leon asked,

"He said that there's a person who could bring us over seas to Edo and a finder should be there waiting from the Asia Branch."

"Alright."

"What's wrong?" She asked as she got into bed as Leon walked into the bathroom and said dryly,

"Someone died and the innocence was lost."

Later that night a akuma came in, but Leon was ready using his level two beast. That took the akuma down and he went and saved Allen and the others from the second akuma. All of them were up by then.

"We're under attack! Let's move!" Allen order as the rest said,

"Right!" As a huge battle broke threw destroying the hotel and everything in a few years of it.

"Whoa..." I muttered, yawning, feeling like I haven't took a nap in ages.

"Hey." We looked over to see a man. We finally arrived in Czechoslovakia, with General Tiedoll drawing and stopping Kanda from cutting him in half - I say me and Marie did a good job.

"Um... hi." I answered for the group as he walked over,

"The name is Klaud are you going to Jan Novak's mansion?"

"No-" I started as he went on his hands and knees.

"OH PLEASE! TAKE ME!"

"Look we can't take you there." Kanda said as General Tiedoll going over Kanda's head,

"I would like to see this mansion, let's all go help him and get threw the mansion." Marie held Kanda back as a sweat drop appeared on me.

"Well alright but then we can't waste any more time." But I was ignored as General Tiedoll and Klaud walked on, tell some dumb story about the mansion and the guy who build it.

"Well, well, well, welcome Exorcist to the strange mansion - enter if you dare." Then the three level two akuma slipped in the mansion laughing away.

"Let go! They're getting away!"

"Slow down Kanda." General Tiedoll said then, turning to Klaud, "I'm afraid this is as far as you go, we have to kill the akumas."

"Oh, alright - just promise me you'll protect it."

"Of course." He turned to us, "Let's go."

"Right." We walked inside as the 'fun' began. I loved the secret entry, the different levers and traps! When we got to a door, Kanda stepped up.

"Let me General."

"Very well." Of course he tried to open the door as it didn't open. I figured the door opened from side to side. The General stepped in saying, "Kanda, you have to made your mind flexible." And what I was thinking, I said under my breath,

"Is that even possible Kanda...?"

"At any rate," Kanda moved aside as General pushed the door to the side, "The door moves from side to side, you should start thinking like Midnight."

"Say what?!" I gasped as they walked threw without me, "Hey! Wait!" I followed as we ended up in the middle of the room. The akuma appeared as the room floors moved up and down.

"Whoa! What the?!" I called as Marie said,

"Careful! This give the akuma more of a edge!"

"Innocents Activate!" Called Kanda as the akuma attacked, I clapped my hands getting ready for a fight!

Come back for chapter 14!
