My memories were full of brief moments were my parents appeared and lead me somewhere, until I came to the period of were only my father was appearing then there was no one….

…

Cobblestone streets lay before me, blood seeping from the cracks into the rat infested underground, blood stained the edges of my skirt as I ran. I ran my bare feet slamming against the blood soaked streets laughter sounded from behind me. Akuma occupied the street all around me soon joining with their master, I slipped crashing into the street. I was afraid to look behind me, but I could feel him reaching towards me, an hand seized my arm and pulled me to my feet. A woman stood her face hidden in the darkness, we soon fell into darkness and everything disappeared…

…

I jerked awake, a feeling flooded over me, it screamed Cross is dead and Allen is a Noah. I covered my ears trying to block out the screaming, a hand brushed my shoulder as if hesitant to touch me. I turned finding Allen his hand slightly extended, he sat down on the chair beside the bed.

He stood up, "I'm going to go get Lena lee, she said she wanted to see you when you woke up…" then he walked out only to return a few moments later Lena lee following close behind him.

She leaped onto the bed and hugged me fiercely, "I'm glad you're awake, we were scared hearing you passed out shortly after you had just woken up… Allen was afraid you weren't going to wake up…" she said turning slightly towards Allen.

He blushed looking away, "Maybe just a little," he responded.

I slid out of the bed, they came over and practically pushed me back down on the bed, "No getting out of the bed until you've recovered!" Lena lee ordered firmly.

I waved my hand, "I've recovered from it as much as I can, I'll probably feel a little better after some training…" I responded then covered my mouth in shock, did I just say that? I thought.

They looked at me worriedly, "What do you mean by that?" Allen asked.

I scratched the back of my head, "It's nothing, I'm just saying things, I'm going to see if I can find the head nurse…" I said hurriedly as I strode out of the room.

She came walking down the hallway and spotted me, "What are you doing out of your bed?" she asked almost angrily.

"I think I'm fit enough not to have to stay in the infirmary any more…" I responded weakly.

She grabbed my arm dragging me back in, "We'll see about that…"

A few minutes later… ^.^

I walked out of the infirmary and went to the library to ask directions to the training room, I ran into someone I didn't exactly want to see, especially not after my last mission… Kanda.

He noticed me as I turned back and seized my arm, "Are you running away from me?" he asked.

"No not at all," I responded, pulling my arm out of his grasp and I began again to walk away.

He seized my arm again, "Then why are you trying to walk away?" he asked trying to keep the anger out of his voice.

I pulled it out again, "Because I have something I need to do," I paused a few feet away from him, "Thank you for your help earlier," I said softly before walking away.

I rounded the corner and leaned against the pillar, a blush flooded my cheeks… I shook my head, what am I blushing about, I just thanked him… I blushed again, did he want to talk to me, is that why he kept trying to stop me from walking away?

Footsteps sounded and someone whipped around the corner, their face inches from mine, Kanda…

He paused a moment before stepping back, "Didn't you have something to do?"

"I was heading to the library, to ask where the training room was…." I responded… wait why am I telling him this?

He smirked slightly, "You've been here for at least three weeks, but you don't have the layout of the place at all…"

My anger grew, "For almost all of those days I've been in the infirmary…" I retorted angrily, pain shot through the innocence wound. I jerked slightly, ever so slightly, but he noticed, with his hawk like eyes, how I hate those eyes…

He hoisted me over his shoulder, "Where are you taking me?" I screamed in outrage.

"To the infirmary, you just checked out… right?" he paused "You checked out too early, you're obviously not fit to be walking around, Baka." He responded.

I flushed brightly, "Put me down! I don't need to go, what's wrong with me can't be fixed by them…" I retorted angrily then paused… damn I've done it again.

He paused and set me down only to press his hand hard on my shoulder making it impossible to move, "What do you mean by that?" he asked anger making his voice tremor slightly.

"Nothing…" I said quickly, "I just got out of the infirmary and I think I hit my head a little too hard."

He pushed me against one of the pillars, "Stop lying!" he snapped.

I looked at him shocked… the others once told me he didn't care much for others, then why is he acting this way…

Footsteps interrupted what he was about to say, he turned his head, he looked briefly shocked before he released me, he began to walk away, he turned looking straight at me, "The training room is three floors above the library and the garden is two floors below and straight down the hallway." He said before walking away.

I stood completely shocked, a hand touched my shoulder, I turned quickly, too quickly, I began to feel the start of a headache.

In front of me stood a finder, "Are you alright?" he asked.

"Yes, I'm fine," I responded.

He nodded and began away, one hand was in his pocket as if hiding something, I noticed something strange, a stain just above the pocket… blood.

Some sense told me that something was wrong, something screamed, blood, it's Cross', HE'S THE ONE WHO KILLED CROSS!

I turned the corner to find that he was already gone, damn! I cursed silently; my blood pulsed with adrenaline just like my head began pulse with a headache and a feeling of foreboding.
