Chapter 28- Letting Go of My Knight- Lenalee's P.O.V

I stood at the edge of the little balcony outside of my room. Tears fell down my cheeks as I remembered everything about Daisya. I saw his face clearly in my mind. I saw everything that we had done together as if it had only happened today.

The memory of how we met appeared in my mind, so I closed my eyes and watched it.

"I want to go back to Brother," I complained as I followed Rever through the Order.

"Your brother has work to do," Rever said. His voice was gentle. He stopped, and I ran into his legs. "Daisya," He said. "Can you give our new exorcist a tour of the Order?"

"We have a new exorcist?" I heard a boy ask.

"Kind of," Rever said. "She's been here a while, but she's just now getting a tour. She's Komui's little sister."

"Sure," The boy said. "Where is she?"

Rever stepped to the right, allowing the boy to see me. The boy looked surprised that I was right there. I squeaked, and ran behind Rever.

Rever sighed and knelt down so that he was eye level with me. "Lenalee, this is Daisya. He's an exorcist like you. You can trust him. He may be scary looking and annoying, but he's nice."

"I don't know whether to take that as an insult or a complement," The boy- Daisya said.

I whispered in Rever's ear, "But what if Brother needs my help?"

"Your brother will call you if he needs your help," Rever said. "But or now, he's fine. Daisya can give you a tour, and he'll introduce you to know some of the people you'll be working with. You will be fine, I promise."

I felt a hand on my head, and I looked up to see the boy smiling at me. "Don't worry, if I was a monster, then I would eaten you by now."

My eyes widened, and I stared at Rever. He glared at Daisya.

"You are not helping!" He snapped. He looked at me. "He's not a monster. Besides, if he was, I don't think he would be here."

Rever stood up, and walked away.

"Wait!" I yelled. I tried to run after him, but the boy grabbed my arm.

"You'll have a lot more fun on a tour than watching those kooky scientists work," He said. He smiled again.

I got my first good look at him. He had dark brown eyes and hair. Bandages were wrapped around his head, neck, and chest. He wore a hood on his head. On the end of the hood there was a little bell. He also had two, long triangles under his eyes. He looked like the joker on the playing cards that Rever showed me.

"I'm Daisya Berry," He said.

"I- I'm Lenalee Lee," I said.

Daisya cocked his head to the side. "You look more like a 'Boo' to me than a 'Lenalee'. I think I'll call you 'Boo'."

I felt myself smile. "Why?"

"Because you surprised me," Daisya said. "I didn't see you, and I wasn't expecting you to be right behind Rever. Therefore, your new name is Boo."

I giggled. "You're weird!"

Daisya gave a low bow. "The King of Pranksters is at your service." He kissed my hand, making me giggle more.

Daisya stood up and grabbed my hand. "Let's go," He said. "I'll help you find your way around here. I've gotten lost before, and it was not fun. It took three hours to find my way back to where I started."

He started to pull me though the Order, introducing me to other exorcists. He made me laugh constantly. I couldn't remember the last time I had laughed as hard as I had that day.

The memory made me smile. I went through all of my memories that included Daisya. With every memory, I let a little more of reality into my mind. The reality was that he was dead. I wouldn't be able to see him until I died- and even then, I didn't know if I would see him.

I let all of the pain in, and allowed myself to cry. I didn't wipe the tears away. I didn't do anything to control the shaky breaths that entered my lungs. The boy I was madly in love with was dead, and I had to except that.

"Sizin dinlenme yeri, sevgili arkadaşım bulun. Sen birçok kişi tarafından cevapsız olacaktır, ve hatta ahirette, seni sevdim edilecektir," I whispered. "Find your resting place, my dear friend. You shall be missed by many, and even in the afterlife, you will be loved."

"Are you all right?" A voice asked behind me. I wiped the tears away, and turned to face Allen.

"I'm fine," I said. "I was just saying a final farewell."

"To Daisya?" Allen asked.

I felt my heart tighten at the mention of his name. I also felt confusion as I noted the jealous sound in Allen's voice as he said Daisya's name.

"Yes," I said. "What up?"

"I was just checking in," Allen said. "You've been pretty down the last few days."

"I'm fine," I repeated.

Allen nodded. "I'll leave you be, then. Good night, Lenalee."

"Good night," I said. I watched Allen exit my room. I took a deep breath, and walked back into the room. I sat down on my bed and started to play with the ring on my chain necklace.

"You're getting better with understanding that you're your own person, Boo," Daisya said.

"Damn," I muttered. "Now I'm imagining Daisya's voice!"

I heard Daisya laugh. "You're really in shock, aren't you?"

I looked to my left to see Daisya standing against the wall. I screamed, and jumped back.

"Wha- how- Wha- Huh?" I couldn't find what to say. I was freaked out.

Daisya toppled over, laughing. That's when I noticed that I could see through him.

"You're a ghost?" I asked.

"Yep," He said. "You and Kanda both had pretty similar reactions, except Kanda didn't scream and jump back like you did."

I glared at him. "That's because I wasn't expecting you!"

Daisya's smiled widened as he walked towards me, and sat next to me. He leaned in close, and I felt a slight cold pressure on my lips as he kissed me.

My eyes widened. I wasn't expecting to be kissed by a ghost.

Judging by the smile on Daisya's face when he pulled away, I knew that I was bright red.

I didn't know what to say. My mouth opened and closed like a fish out of water. I felt like a complete fool.

Daisya didn't seem to mind because he just kissed me again.

"I'm very confused," I said. "How are you a ghost?"

"I've got some things I still need to do," He said.

"What sort of things?" I asked.

He didn't answer. His eyes tinkled with a mischievous look. He had a plan that he wasn't going to tell me about.

I sighed, and tried to punch his arm, but my hand went through him.

"That is so creepy!" I squealed.

"Be quiet," Daisya said, while laughing. "Your friend with white hair will hear you, and come to see what's wrong. He won't see or hear me, so he'll think you're crazy."

He had a point. "Why can I see you then?" I asked.

"Because I'm allowing you to," He said. "You and Kanda are the only two who can see me because I want you to."

"Why only us?" I asked.

"Because Kanda's a brother to me, and I love you," He explained.

I felt my blush deepen and I looked away. "I'm happy you're still here," I said.

"Me to," He said. He kissed my head. "You need sleep, Boo. Don't let me make you stay awake."

I smiled at him. I didn't know if I was dreaming, but even if I was, seeing Daisya made me happy. I felt protected as he smiled back at me. I placed my head on the pillow, and closed my eyes.

Daisya started to sing the same lullaby that he had always sang. His voice was as soft as silk, and it made me fall asleep.

The words of the lullaby interfered with my dreams, sending me into a medieval land. I was the damsel in distress and Daisya was my knight in shining armor.
