Slight warning to anyone who cares but slight language...

The group of men diminished their bodies getting tossed backwards, on one side was the General the other side a tall shadowed figure. As they completely dissipated from around me, the tall figure grasped my arm tightly towing me behind him.

"Enkou!" the General shouted trying to reach us, but struggling against the now frantic crowd.

The figure pulled me close, "I'll take care of her for now, you just get yourself out of here…" The man shouted.

His voice rasped in my ear as he urged me to move, something was familiar about his voice, but my senses were too dull for me to process it. He gave up trying to drag me and picked me up carrying me bridal style, I couldn't voice a complaint.

Seeming like he was walking for hours before he set me down on a soft bed, I cringed feeling pain again more and more images flashed behind my eyelids, just out of reach.

As a gentle hand pushed the hair out of my face and as my vision faded, I realized in whose care I was… a man whom I could trust… for now.

…..

Slowly awakening, I was aware of the other person in the room their worried emotions swarming about me like annoying bees. My eyelids flickered open and my head pounded with what could be called a hangover.

The man stood up from his chair, "What the hell were you thinking? Going to a bar, getting drunk, letting guys hit on you?" he shouted.

I grumbled clutching my aching head, "It was not my idea and when should a Noah like you start worrying about what an exorcist does in her spare time?" I asked.

He sighed and ruffled his hair, "You got me there…" He walked over to the bed and leaned towards me, "Though should you trust a Noah so easily?" he asked and pushed me back down onto the bed. "You should be glad I'm a gentleman, but you've tempted me too far, and I'm afraid I'll not be able to hold myself back…." With that his lips brushed against mine, then pressed harder, his hand crept to my shoulder pushing away one of the straps on my dress, trying to expose the skin beneath. His lips trailed down my neck, small pecks against my skin down to my chest, one hand sliding against my thigh, fingers stroking my skin. Continuing he slid the other strap down my shoulder revealing more of my chest, his lips brushed against the upper part of my breast.

Recovering from my shock I fought against him, managing to get him to release me, I uttered a quick command causing the bed to become unbalanced. He rolled off of me and I jerked towards the door, throwing it open I found a completely different hotel. I paused a moment to steal a glance back and found he was catching up, dashing out of the room I quickly made my way out of the hotel.

Scampering down the street in just a disheveled dress and unruly hair, I cared not where I was running to I just needed to run to get away from that new threat. Calming my nerves after running out of breath, I quickly remembered the interesting ability to transport, which is exactly what I did.

Appearing I was immediately enveloped in comforting arms, I began to sob recognizing the body of who was hugging me… Lenalee.

Just as suddenly as the arms had wrapped around me they were taken away, the General came into view, "What happened after that man took you away?"

Before I could respond another asked a question, "Where and when did you get those scars on your arms?"

I turned to the speaker to find Allen and of course the guard dog Link… "When I went on the mission to go back to the place where you found me, a Noah showed up and tore up my arms…" I responded avoiding his soul searching gaze and clutching the dress tightly to me.

"Enkou!" The General said sharply drawing my attention back to her, "What happened?"

"He… carried me to a hotel… I woke up and found him gone… I teleported here when I couldn't identify the hotel…" I responded with a shaking voice, tormenting memories crawling at the edges of my vision.

A hand grasped my arm, "General I think that is enough questioning, Koumi wants you guys back at headquarters, he sent us out because you wouldn't respond to the golem… he also wants to be told personally about the information you've gained." Allen said stepping in, for which I felt grateful.

"I'll say this now…" I paused still looking down, but I could feel their stares, "I'm never drinking again…" I finished and they exploded in conversation, mostly those two yelling at the General for letting me drink…

…..

I trudged numbly into headquarters not really paying attention to the eyes that were now focused on me. Just a few more steps and I'll be somewhere safer… that is until 'he' comes here… again. I thought wearily.

An arm brought the world back into my attention, "We're here," Allen said, the look he gave me told me he hadn't forgotten what happened in the practice room.

I stepped forward, "The Earl is one of the well known lords in the city, he has a family of thirteen family members, one of them we know as Tyki Mikk," I paused to judge their reactions, Allen flinched and stiffened the others just took a sharp breath. "I believe all of the other family members are also Noah, during the masquerade, I was pulled into the room where the Earl was, and judging by their reactions to me and finding out I was an exorcist, they were all Noah…"

The was silence, the door creaked as it opened, a sickly feeling came over me, looking in the direction of the now open door. I found Leverrier and the strange dark robed group, "Exorcist Enkou, we've let your rampant behavior go on too long without punishment, you are being ordered to be watched by a Crow member at all times, Tevaki will be staying in the same room, she will go with you everywhere and help you on missions, for which you are restricted from until further notice." He ordered loudly and the feminine figure behind him stepped forward and revealed her blonde hair.

At Link's glare I stepped forward and extended my hand, "Nice to meet you, I hope we can get along…"

She hesitantly took it, again at Link's glare, we shared a brief handshake, I paled feeling the akuma mingled with human, she also paled, "You're a parasitic type too…"
