The Earl went outside the Arc once he knew that he won't have much time. But, Arisa is still struggling in his grasp. Just before the Earl completely gone, Cross pull The Earl's hand and she can hear the bone in him groaned.

"Release her." Cross said. His eyes are gleaming with hatred and pain.

The Earl can only look at her one last time and slowly releasing his grasp from her neck. He pulled his hat out of his head and smiled to her in a childish tone. "Until we meet again, my dear angel…" And the door started to close.

Cross look at her. Worry and anxious feeling washed his face while he looks at his beloved apprentice. "Are you okay?"He asks with a worried tone. He slowly entwined his hand on her waist.

She slaps his hand and her own fingers caressed her neck. "I'm fine. Thank you for asking."

"I believe you have met your other personality?"

"Yes. She's a total bitch."

Cross sighed. "She's you. Don't you understand? When I met the Earl and you, I forced Innocence into your system that caused it to glitch."

She closes her eyes and felt her knee wobbles for a while. "You don't need to remind me."

…

"Akira-chan?" Ask Road with the word amused plastered on her face.

"Hm?" Akira can already figure out her question she was dying to ask since 6 minutes ago.

"How old are you?"

"I don't know. Older than how I look, obviously." She frowned while lost in her thoughts 'How many times must I answer this questions?'

Road grabbed her in the arm and entwined it with hers. "I think you definitely look cute in your child form. I wish you would never grew up~"

They run excitedly to meet their clown and his big-fat belly. They always love hugging it, because it's so soft and jelly-like. If the Earl is in a good mood, they will play trampoline on it until the Earl said enough. But no matter how naughty they were, the Earl was never angry at them. They were just too cute for his own liking.

At that time Akira is shorter than Road, much shorter. She wore a plain white dress, which was torned and tattered at every edge of the dress. Her hair is black, as dark as night with a tint of dark blue on it, just like the raven's feather, her hair was kept long until her lower back. Her eyes emit the color of crimson blood, obviously one of Road's favorite colors. At that time, Akira didn't know how to control her own powers, causing her wings to pop out on her back everyday, every second of every time. Her wings are relatively small, and it looks cute on her, just like a chibi angel. Road is being her usual gothic child. Her closet is full of purple and black frilly dresses and stripes shirts. Once, Akira was forced to wear her dresses. Which was obviously didn't match her at all, but Road sometimes insisted and pout when she didn't look as Road pleased.

When they reach the Earl's chamber, which consist of mainly telephones and his rocking chair, they quickly climb and his lap and hug him tightly.

"Earl-sama! Fufu~" Road said in her usual tone.

Akira didn't say much. She only jump on his lap and climb on his hand with her small and petite legs, so that she can reach to sit on his shoulder, her favorite place. The Earl didn't protest on the first attempt she tries to climb on his shoulder. In fact, he was surprised at first, even if Road hugged him everyday, the feeling of her climbing on his hand just feels…right. If the Earl didn't support her small waist up to his shoulder, she would fall back onto his lap. Nonetheless, no matter if she falls, she will always try again until she gets to sit on his shoulder.

"Hello, Road-chan, Akira-chan~ we will visit our victims tonight to assemble more army. Would you like to join me?" He asks with his big ol' smile.

"Of course!" Road quickly replied. Akira only nodded slightly.

They went for the human world for weeks, weeks turned into months very quickly while Akira is administrating the Akuma the Earl had created.

"Thirteen in two months." She said with a superficial tone while sitting on the Earl's shoulder. Tonight, Road didn't come with them. The Earl has sent her for a special mission that she can do alone.

"Well, we need much more than that~" said the Earl.

When the wind shifted its direction to Akira's face, she flinched a bit before she sent a growl at the wind. "Innocence." She said between her breaths.

The Earl quickly turns his face toward her. "Where?" his big grin plastered on his face combined with his tone creates an eerie aura around him.

"Just below us."

A large explosion was seen below them. The exorcist is obviously fighting one of the levels one Akuma they brought with them. He fought against it lazily, like they didn't worth their time. And he's a very skilled fighter. She then felt tremendous aura lurking at them. He pulled out his gun to shot them. Akira quickly put the defense layer in front of them with one swipe of an arm. A yellow like translucent wall was formed in front of them as the bullets crumbling her defensive system. She stared at it with shock 'No one in the world, except Noah or the Earl at full power can destroy the defensive system. It was just mere bullets, yet…'

"Yo, long time no see, fatso." Said the stranger smiling lazily at them. "You brought an interesting girl, I see…Is she one of your experimental subjects?"

"Ah~ the joy of seeing you again Cross-chan." Said the Earl while pull out his hat from his head, just to put it back. "This is Akira, my most successful experimental subject, my vessel." He said taunting him.

"Ohh, Interesting." He stared at Akira while she only gives him an empty look. "Isn't she too young?"

"None sense. She's a mature woman; we just have a glitch at the system though. Hehe~"

"Sorry, but I'm not interested in small child even if she will grow into a beautiful woman." He said putting his hand up in the air.

"Same thing here, pervert." Akira suddenly said, hurling the words at him like it was nothing.

Cross can only stood there, frozen by her word. His heart was stabbed mentally. "That's mean." He shrugged. "What have you thought her, Earl? It's not good to let a small innocent little girl learn savage words like that."

"Everything…" he said taunting him once more. "Akira, if you please."

She quickly stood up on the Earl's shoulder and disappears into thin air. Cross eyes stared at Earl wildly in utter shock as Akira suddenly pop out in front of Cross. She brought her leg up to kick him, Cross manage to stop the leg by grabbing it with his arm. 'What power…' She brought her fist into the air to punch him by the stomach but his other arm stopped her. Both of Cross' hand are now occupied and she sent another blow to his jaw with her other leg as hard as she can, causing Cross to stumble down. Then, she returns to sit on the Earl's shoulder as if nothing happens.

With just a kick through his jaw, Cross' mouth bleeds for a while. "I obviously underestimated her." Said Cross, staring at the Earl's face.

"Do you still want to continue the fight Akira-chan?" The Earl asked her, noticing her bloodlust.

She shook her head. "Even so, Earl. Can he really fight? It doesn't matter how he will fight, but he will die anyway." Her face was lightened by the dim light from the moon, her eyes that beams slightly show no signs of forgiveness. But she knew that she can't hold herself much longer, especially for a worthy rival.

In half a second, Cross suddenly fly towards her to throw a punch. She just stood up on the Earl shoulder and fall on her back just before Cross can threw her the taste of his own medicine. Cross' face is washed with shock as he see her fall midair, almost reaching the ground in a matter of second. 'And I thought she was going to dodge.' He thought. She quickly turn her body around so that her feet can touch the ground and she land on it gracefully. She puts both of her arms on her back when she touches the ground.

Cross pulled his gun and takes two shoots for her. She runs with her hand still behind her back. But no matter where she runs, the bullets keep on following her. Cross can only grin wildly. "The bullet won't go away until it hits its target, darlin'". Suddenly, Akira stopped her step and run towards Cross with the bullet still following her. When she was only a few steps from Cross, she stopped. "What the hell are you doi—"she turned around again. The bullets are only a few meters to her face, but she only inhale and exhale with ease. With this, Cross smiled once again. "I told you that it won't go away, unless—"Cross felt something small and light touches his shoulder. Without him looking, Akira already jumped behind him and the bullets are now in front of Cross, it was about to hit him. With no options left, he uses his innocence to stop the bullet.

Akira chuckled, "Can you even fight properly?" and jumped back and sit on the Earl's shoulder.

Cross smiled, his breaths are ragged and harsh "That's the first time anyone can escape through my Judgment." He said with conviction.

"The bullets are nothing. They are just plain bullets that can follow its target without stopping."

Cross laugh pathetically. "Indeed, my love. But what about this?" he puts a large grin on his face and quickly disappears. Without Akira knowing, Cross is already in front of her. He put his fist high on the air, while holding Judgment on the other hand. Akira's face still showed no sign of emotion, but Cross can see that she frowned slightly. 'She can never escape th—'Cross thought was stopped when Akira fall backwards the moment his fist are one centimeter close to her nose. He never expected that a child would dare to jump from such heights, moreover exposed to one. 'Is she crazy? From this height she will die…' within thirty seconds of her fall, she disappeared. She opens her wings and flies next to the Earl. Cross fall gently chuckling in defeat. "Ha-ha sure is an interesting child you got here, Earl."

The Earl tilted his head. "I know right!" he said with the tone of amusement. "I never would have thought that she can dodge your bullets. I thought she was a goner there." He raises his palm to pat Akira's head on his left side. Akira was blushing slightly with proud smile on her face, just like a happy child when she received a gift from her mother. "You have done well tonight, Akira-chan~ what do you want as a gift when we return back home?"

Her face even smiled more wildly and beamed with happiness. "You will give me a gift?" She said with a happy tone.

"Sure. You have done well tonight my dear."

"Then…" She lowered her head almost immediately and grinned more. With a voice as low as a whisper, she said "I want to kill him."

Cross obviously didn't hear what she has to say. But the Earl reacted differently. He quickly lowered his palm from the girl's head and covers his face by lifting down his hat. The moons obscure his face like a shadow. But Akira knew. Under that hat, the Earl is smiling wildly. He was just trying to compose herself. After a while, he let small chuckles part from his teeth. "My, my, Akira-chan. I never knew that you could be that naughty." He sighed.

Cross is dying to figure out what they were talking about. 'No, no way. Even if the Earl's tone is naughty, she wouldn't have slept with that fatso!' He shook his head immediately, erasing the dirty thoughts on his mind. 'No! It's impossible! The Earl hits on little, young girls! And he just sighed!' without him realizing, a small trail of blood escapes from his nose. Right now, he's imagining quite some story in his own world while covering his nose with both of his hand.

"Well, then Akira," The Earl continued. "Let's say I will give you a month to do what you wish for." He leaned closer and whispers to Arisa "He's quite a large fish you see…" Akira can only chuckle.

'A MONTH! 30 DAYS! 720 HOURS! WHAT CAN SHE DO IN 720 HOURS! IT DIDN'T TAKE THAT LONG TO HAVE… PLEASURE?!' Right now, Cross face is blushing and all of his blood went to his face. He just stood there in pure shock, completely misunderstood the situation. 'IS SHE REALLY THAT AWESOME?! FOR A CHILD? EVEN MORE AWESOME THAN THE WOMEN I HITTED IN MY WHOLE LIFE?!' his ears are steaming when Millennium Earl whisper to her and trails of blood have become a blood pool by now.

"Well, then Cross-san~ I bid you farewell…" said the Earl while opening the door, formed by his own ability. He looked away from Cross to see his beloved…vessel. He rises up his hat "Good luck, Akira-chan~" and he leaves.

Cross face looks like he has been flushed in pure shock while standing there under his own nosebleed, but he still keep his hand on his face to cover his nose. Arisa can only look at him with pure disgust and pity. "What are you looking at?" he questioned her.

"Are you…bleeding?" she said to him, looking at him in the eye while pinching her own nose.

Cross look down to his feet and indeed, it was a massacre down there. He looked at her again and blushed. "I didn't think about anything perverted."

She sighed. "Of course you did. You are a grown man. After all," She smiled. Her smile are filled with horror, giving chill to Cross' spine. He stared at her with widened eyes and put his hand back down again. "It would be bad if you didn't cherish the memory of the one who will die right?" She let small chuckle escape from her lips. "Relax. I will make it as painless as possible."

Cross panted slightly and wiped his nose clean from blood. He rummage trough his left pocket, searching for a lighter, while the other hand put the cancer-stick into his mouth. He lit up his cigarette and breathes for couple of times, and then he smiled. "Bring it on, you bitch."

…

"I still don't like you, Cross. You are way too perverted." Arisa grumbles as she walked away from him. She already healed Allen and Lavi from their injuries. Chaoji is still scared at her so he keeps on furthering his distance from her while Lenalee's innocence is still acting against her. She sighed. 'So much for being kidnapped by a Noah.' She thought in defeat. "Cross."

He looked at her through the corner of his eyes. "What?"

"Carry him into the room now. We don't have much time." Arisa replied harshly.

"A room?" questioned Allen.

Cross sighed. "I'm sure you already know why I come here."

Allen flinched slightly. Yes, he indeed remembers. "To destroy the Akuma "plant"?"

"Tim, Angel, brings us to the room." Cross ordered. Tim and Angel shines as they transported into another room.

The room itself is surrounded by dead bodies, lying here and there. The center of the room is filled with a large egg-like shape.

"All we need to do is steal the egg. If we start up this arc and stop the download, the egg will never make it to the new arc. But I'm not going to do it. You are, Allen." Cross explained.

Allen stared at Cross with widened eyes and disbelieve.

"I'm going to sent you to the final room." Cross ordered Allen as he chanted a few spells to open the room.

"What?! But?!"

"You were the only one who can do it, you idiot." Arisa commented before Allen disappears.

"What are we going to do now, Arisa?" Lenalee asked.

"For now…" she sighed. "We wait."

…

The Arc is beginning to re-form once again. The one who died before, are now revived.

"But who were the one singing inside my head?"

And then the boy feel deep asleep

The gasping flames within the ashes

One by one rise up and expand

Into that beloved face

Suspended from the earth

Thousands of dreams

On the night when those wine-eyes trembled

You were born

Shining brightly

Hundreds of millions of months and years

No matter how many prayers are returned to the Earth

I shall continue to pray…

"This voice… Akira-san…"
