Chapter 14

"Miss Lee, it seems the train will be stopping soon. Can you wake up Kanda for me?" Toma's head was peeking around the door watching Lenalee stretch and yawn.

"I thought I told you to call me Lenalee?" Lenalee smiled at Toma before turning her eyes to Kanda, who was sleeping quietly against the window.

"Why do I need to wake up Kanda? Why not Lavi?"

"Well, Kanda would probably kill anyone other than you if someone tried to wake him up. I usually try to avoid death when I can." Lenalee snorted before opening a suitcase that was resting on the floor. Rummaging for a few seconds, she pulled out a clipboard with nothing attached to it. She promptly lifted the clipboard up and brought it down on Kanda's head, not all to lightly.

"Kanda, the train's going to stop soon. Wake up." Kanda opened one eye and glared menacingly at the clipboard the Lenalee seemed to always use on him before sitting up strait.

"Wow, Toma, you're right! I'm completely fine!" Toma chuckled and Kanda ignored them, not sure of what they're talking about.

"Lavi, sir, it's time to wake up." Lavi grunted and rubbed his eye, yawning loudly.

"Are we there yet?"

"Yes, Lavi, that's why Toma woke you up." Lavi smiled happily.

"Ah, finally. We've been on this train far too long."

"Lavi, it's only been a day."

"A day is too long in my standards. We've been in this train almost exactly 19 hours."

"Yes, and we've been sleeping through most of it." Lavi hummed in response before turning to Kanda.

"Good morning, Yuu! Actually, is it morn-" Lavi's head slammed into the wall behind him as Mugen's hilt struck his forehead.

"Ow! Do you realize how much that actually hurts? I'm going to have a headache for the rest of the day because of you!" Lavi unhappily rubbed his sore head while Kanda just smirked, looking at the window.

"To answer your question, yes it is morning. It's about 8:00." Toma said

"Hmm, do you think they'll come around with the breakfast cart before the ride's over?"

"I doubt it. We'll be getting off in 10 minutes." Lavi sighed. He was hungry.

"Can we eat once we get off then?" Lavi looked to Lenalee, hoping she agreed. Fortunately for him, she did.

"Yeah, I think we could stop somewhere. We don't have anyplace to be exactly."

"Except we're supposed to be looking for Akuma." Kanda grumbled.

"Don't be such a spoil-sport Y-Kanda!" Lavi corrected himself just in time.

"I happen to know of a restaurant in this town that's a supporter of the order. We'll go there." Toma said. Lavi grinned and patted his stomach, and Lenalee nodded.

"Che. I'll pass." Lenalee frowned disapprovingly at Kanda, but she couldn't think of anything to keep him with them.

"Actually, the owner is of Japanese descent. He might know how to make soba." Toma supplied. Under the mask that covered his face, Toma smiled seeing the warring look in Kanda's face; it was a choice between eating soba or getting away from Lavi. A hard choice for the samurai.

"I don't need any soba." Everyone looked at him with shock. THE Kanda doesn't want soba?

"Alright then. We'll meet at the train station in two hours to search together.

"Che." And that was the last response they'd get from Kanda that morning.

A couple minutes passed and the train pulled into the station of Chartres, France (I just picked it off a map of Europe) they emerged from the train and navigated through the crowd that was awaiting the incoming visitors.

"At least this isn't as busy as the London Train station." Lenalee murmured to herself. Finally, they found themselves in a quiet outdoor hallway with only a few people walking quickly along it.

"Alright, Kanda, we'll meet you here in 2 hours, got it?" Kanda didn't even nod before walking off, leaving the group behind.

"Be sure to come back, Kanda!" Lenalee yelled, annoyed.

"Gosh, blatantly ignoring me. How could he get any ruder?" Lavi laughed.

"So, Toma, where is this restaurant?"

"It about 2 kilometers away. If you'd follow me." Toma turned and walked away, and the exorcists followed. They walked on a cobbled sidewalk and earned many stares from people who noticed their uniforms.

"Qui sont-ils?" (Who are they?) People whispered in French around them while they walked (A/N Sorry, if I butchered that, I'm using Google Translate for this. I don't know French I am pretty sure you did abyss because I do speak French a little bit and I think that is what it says it is.).

"Est-ce un marteau? (Is that a hammer?)Lavi grinned as he walked, understanding everything they were saying, but Lenalee just tried to avoid eye contact with anyone.

"Lavi," Lenalee whispered, "What are they saying?"

"They're curious. They want to know who we are and why I have a hammer. I guess it's not everyday you see exorcists."

"Of course it's not everyday you see exorcists, Lavi, we like to keep it that way." Lavi rolled his eyes and continued listening to the curious citizens.

Finally, Toma pulled them into a small building that was squished between a pub and a very boring-looking law building of some sort.

"Mr. Haru? Are you here?" Toma called out.

"Toma, is that you? How are you?" A short man with dark gray, wispy hair came out from a door at the back of the small, empty restaurant. His eyes were crinkled and smile marks were practically engraved into his sagging skin. A large nose was centered on his face, making the rest of his features seem smaller. A small, fluffy beard grew from his ears to the tip of his chin.

"I'm fine, Mr. Haru. I've brought some hungry exorcists, sir." Mr. Haru smiled a wide smile and flew back into the kitchens, emerging shortly with three menu's.

"Here you go. This is what everyone gets, but if you'd like, just tell me what you want and I'll make it for you. On the house." Lenalee took the menu, but stared at the old man.

"No, sir, we have the money, we'll pay!" She began to argue. The man just chuckled and started to shuffle back to the door he'd come from.

"No need, sweetie. I'll be back out soon to get your orders." The man pushed open the back door and left the three people to find a place to sit.

"Mr. Haru used to be a finder himself, but Komui let him retire to live with his wife when he found out she had become ill. I think she died two years ago now, so he's living quietly in France running a restaurant, as you can see."

"Why didn't he go back to Japan?"

"Well, he met his wife here in France before he joined the order and this is where he got married. I guess he got comfortable." Lavi recorded the information and leaned back on the booth he was sitting in.

"I think I've heard of him," Lavi started, "Wasn't he the one who trained over 250 finders in two years?" Toma nodded.

"Yes, it's quite a feat. He even trained me, along with two other people, in a week. It was amazing how smart the man was." Lenalee frowned, trying to think if she'd ever heard of him. He must have been at the order when she was very young. She remembered Komui was the one who let him retire, so she might have met him. Eventually, the old man came out and gathered their orders.

"So, what might you guys be doing out here? Are there any Akuma around? I haven't noticed any."

"Well, we're looking around for some Akuma. We don't have a definite location yet."

"Looking for Akuma?"

"I'm afraid I can't elaborate, sir, but yes, we're just here looking around. We might be leaving by tomorrow," Mr. Haru smiled and nodded knowingly. He left them to cook their orders and soon came out with steaming plates full of food that, although looked delicious, didn't compare to Jerry's cooking.

As if reading their minds, the old man laughed.

"I'm not Jerry, but I think you'll find that enjoyable. Mind if I sit with you?" Toma nodded enthusiastically and soon he and Mr. Haru were conversing about their recent lives. After an hour, long after the food was eaten, everyone stood up, saying their goodbyes.

"I'm glad I got to see you, Toma. It's been too long. Come back sometime, alright?" Toma nodded and hugged the old Japanese man. Finally, the company left the restaurant and came out on the streets.

"Well, I suggest we start walking back to the train station, but we'll keep an eye out for Akuma." Lavi said. Lenalee agreed and they let Toma lead the way.

Their walk back was about as uneventful as before and they were surrounded by whispers in french. At one point, Lavi was distracted by an ice cream vendor. He flawlessly ordered three cones in french, handing the man the appropriate amount of money. Toma walked behind the exorcists who were eating their ice cream, somehow eating his ice cream(A/N I mean seriously, does he take the bandages off when he's eating? You'd think that would get annoying after a while. What's it like under there?). Eventually, they made it to the train station, but they were early, so they spent their time exploring the crowds, drawing attention to themselves so maybe the Akuma would be attracted. Finally, around 10:00 am, Kanda showed up.

"What did you do, Kanda?" Lenalee asked.

"Che. I found nothing. Their more likely to be out tonight." And so, the exorcists went back into town, exploring the streets and looking around for a police station.

"You think the police would know something?" Lenalee asked Lavi, confused.

"No, I think they could tell us about any recent murders. Murders that may of may not have been caused by an Akuma. It's a good place to start." Lenalee nodded, now understanding. Every now and then, Lavi stopped a person and asked where the police station was in french. Eventually, they discovered the place they were looking for.

"Ready?" Lavi asked.

"Let's go." Lenalee replied.

The Ark

Tyki, Allen, Cooper, and Road were sitting in the family room doing their own personal activities. Tyki was reading a dusty book that was almost falling apart at the seams sitting right next to a blazing fire. Road was on the floor, using a candle to the arms off one of her many rag dolls, Cooper was making and unmaking weapons so fast he had a new one ever 10 seconds or so and complaining about how he needs to go faster , and Allen was sitting in a large chair talking to Neah and Cooper silently.

'So, what can I do with the Noah powers?'

Well, of course, you have the dark fire that you control mostly with your emotions. I always found poetry made it strongest. You also have the power to control almost anyone with your voice. You can use that power on the other Noah, but they are able to shrug it off with their mind don't know if it will work on Cooper but probably not. Humans have a much harder time ignoring a direct order from you. It's all in the way you talk... Neah went on in a long speech explaining how a certain pitch could control any living object on earth. Allen wanted to test this ability, but had no one to try it on, so instead settled for humming the tunes or notes Neah talked about, earning glances from Tyki. At one point, Allen was struggling to meet a very low note and Neah had him hum it with out stop for almost a whole minute.

No, lower than that. You're doing it wrong, you need to let it come from your core, not your lungs. Don't rely on the air, you won't need it.

'I won't need air?'

You'll still need air, but your using too much air. Focus on vibrating your vocal chords, not getting air out from your chest.Allen tried following the strange advice, but he was obviously doing something wrong. He was surprised at how patient Neah was.

You're not the first vessel I've had. I've done this before. Allen nodded. After more and more minutes passed, Road and Tyki found themselves watching Allen more often. He seemed to be staring at nothing and was constantly humming low notes.

'Cooper can you help me?'

'No Apollo gave me control over light and hello is me too sometimes see into the future with past and while I can usually copy most power I was never able to learn the 14th power over sound.'

'Thanks a lot.' Allen replied sarcastically.

'No problem.' Cooper said back equally sarcastic.

"Shounen?" Tyki said. At first Allen said nothing and continued humming. For a moment he stopped, but he started immediately again. Tyki was about to call out again before a huge grin appeared on Allen's face and he jumped up in glee.

"Finally." He murmured.

"Shounen?" Allen looked up to see Tyki and Road watching him. Tyki looked like he was dealing with a madman while Road was giggling insanely.

"What?" Allen asked, oblivious.

"Well, what were you doing? You were sort of creeping me out." Allen frowned but then flushed when he realized what Tyki was talking about.

"Oh, sorry, I forgot you guys were in the room."

"So what were you doing, Allen-kun?" Road asked.

"I was learning from Neah. He's teaching me to control things with music. Well, not music, more like different pitches. It's hard to explain." Allen smiled slightly and Tyki just watched with confusion.

"Control something? Like telepathically?"

"No," Allen started, "Like controlling a persons actions. Hypnotizing, I guess." Tyki nodded.

"That's pretty handy. Who were you supposed to be controlling just now then?" Tyki asked, suspicious.

"No one. I don't have anyone to practice on."

"You could practice on me!" Road said excitedly. "I'm bored anyway!"

"Well, I could, but Neah says that Noah are harder to control since they can just block it and Cooper will not work either."

"Hey when you have about 12 god's trying to read your mind once you eventually learn how to block out someone from entering controlling your mind and I don't know how to turn it off, sorry."

"Well then I won't block it. Go ahead, try it." Allen sighed but got to work, think over the things Neah told him to do. The process starts by focusing all his dark matter on the person he was controlling, in this case, Road. He stared a her and began humming the low note he had just learned to reach.

That's right, just a bit lower. Allen strained his throat before remembering not to rely on the air. Suddenly, he felt a conscious brush against his, almost breaking his concentration.

Focus. That's Road's mind. Embrace it. This is called resonating with another mind. You can use this to speak to other Noah, but only on Noah. You can't mind speak with humans. Now, are you focused on her mind?Allen nodded slowly, closing his eyes to keep from being distracted by the things in the room.

Now I want you to command it. Use your strength. This isn't just a favor. You have to mean it in order for you to control another. So Allen focused all his thoughts on one thing. He started with something simple.

Jump. Allen opened his eyes in time to see Road jumping in the air, staring blankly ahead.

Pat Tyki's head.Instead of moving, Road just stood still, docile. Allen narrowed his brows and concentrated, humming the note once again.

Pat Tyki's head.Suddenly, Road ran to Tyki and reached up to his head. I shock, Tyki just stood there as Road patted his head, ruffling his hair. Then he backed up, brushing her hands away.

'Hey Neah, can I make her talk?'

You should be able to. Try it. Allen hummed the low note and tried to think of something for Road to say.

Testing, testing, 1 2 3.Allen chuckled slightly when Road said exactly what he told her to.

"Testing, testing, 1 2 3." Road said. Tyki's eyes widened and he looked at Allen in amazement. Allen grinned.

Allen is the most amazing person ever and I will give him all the Mitarashi Dango he ever asks for. Allen waited for Road to say these words, but instead he felt her mind pull away, blocking him from control.

"Heh heh. You don't have to control me to get me to say you're amazing, Al~len-kun." Road giggled and tackled Allen in a hug, causing him to blush.

"I-I didn't mean..." Road just laughed at his stuttering and kissed his cheek. Allen stopped struggling and froze in place. She let go of him and went to Tyki.

"Allen was trying to get me to call him amazing and have me feed him Mitarashi Dango." Allen unfroze enough to deny her words.

"No, I was just playing! I didn't mean – I – No!" Tyki laughed as he noticed Allen's pale skin turn a bright red.

"You want to be fed, Shounen?"

"NO! I was just trying to make her promise to bring me Dango whenever I wanted! I was just joking!" Allen sighed and sat back down into the chair he was sitting in before. "Whatever." He gave up arguing.

"Ne, Allen? Now that you've practiced on me, do you want to go control some humans?" Allen looked up at her in shock but a smile grew on his face as his skin turned charcoal gray.

"Let's have some fun first, shall we?"

"What do you mean?"Tyki asked.

"Where are the Twins?"
