"Alright then…," Akatsuki thought whole he looked around. He held the hilt of his katana with his free hand. He knew that if he was going to be moving around in this cave, he would probably be ambushed by something or someone. He remained with his guard up, looking around while keeping his grip on the hilt tight and battle-ready.

"This is starting to get boring, why this?" he thought in his mind as he looked around. He noticed that now he was at yet another cross road, so he sighed and dropped the crystal. The cross road he was in had four different hallways, either one could lead him to the Innocence or to just a randomly empty room. Akatsuki sighed and thought, "I hate my life now…," and dropped his blood red crystal onto the ground.

The crystal began to shine brighter, lighting the entire room, revealing each small detail of the room. Akatsuki then dug through his pocket with his now empty hand, looking for the next crystal. He had only one left now. He had dropped the other two blood red crystals a while back. He now just needed to be careful as to where he would lay this last crystal rest.

He walked forth, heading into the now ignited left tunnel. He continued to walk forward while looking around at the tunnel. The tunnel seemed to have had a strange, mystic feeling. This tunnel feels weird… I feel something ancient here… Well, I would not say mystic or ancient, I would have to word it as something dark…

Thoughts of what it could be ran through his mind, so he kept his guard up as he breathed the disgusting scent that the ignited darkness had. He continued to walk through the tunnel anyway, walking on forward through the darkness. Hehe, idiot thinks he is going in the right direction, I think I will keep him company at the end… a soft whisper could be head, but too soft for Akatsuki to even hear…

Cyril looked around, trying to figure out where he was now while walking forward, holding the bright white crystal in his hand. Same story with him, he had only two of them left in his hands. He sighed and thought, "I probably should have stayed with my wife and gone to look for Road on my own rather than speak to that Exorcist boy to look for her…

"Oh well, when in Rome, do what the Romans do I suppose…" Cyril looked around, unsure of what he was going to do next. He was now in a crossroads, just like Akatsuki had ran into. What he noted that was strange though was… the room seemed to have a red glow. Did someone already pass by? He honestly tried to remember in his mind who was the one that held the crystal that was red.

"Damn, I cannot remember that for my own life…," Cyril thought in his mind. He looked at all of the hallways, trying to make a decision based upon where he should go. He noted that the crystal on the ground seemed to have been dimming slightly. "Alright, looks like I will need to leave mine here as well…," he thought in his mind as he dropped the white crystal onto the ground.

He then began to walk into the hallway that was directly to the right and held out his last crystal, preparing for when he was going to need to drop it. That is strange… I did not think that anyone passed by there, but oh well. Whomever it was probably took to a different direction than I did, that I am pretty sure of…

Suddenly, something began to move within the shadows, hiding within the darkness. The figure then stepped out of the darkness and into the bright white light inside the room with a smirk on their face. The person was the exact one that took the form of Lavi in order to trick the Exorcist and Noah into walking into their trap! "Looks like this crystal did perfectly well…," they thought with a smirk.

They kneeled down onto their left knee and picked up the newly placed crystal. He then clenched his fist tightly, as if to crush the crystal in his own hand. The crystal then shone violently, the light escaping from the gaps between his fingers. Slowly, the light began to dim until barely any light produced from his hand. The room slowly then dimmed away since the source of light now became weak.

"Ah, that was perfect…," the person thought as they dropped the crystal back onto the ground. "Now that that's over, I wonder if Anticipation is ready yet…," he thought in his mind as he began to walk towards the tunnel that Cyril had walked into, walking back into the darkness away from the once ignited room. As he walked, his face formed a smirk as he thought, "Prepare to see the darkness that lies beyond the time of your death, Noah…"

It was currently night time, and both Allen and Lenalee sat down at a nearby table, seated right next a window with a view of the beautiful night sky. Lenalee looked out the window, watching the dark night sky that retained many bright dots of light that were the stars. The greatest dot of light that ignited the sky however was the bright, white full-moon.

"The night sky looks so beautiful tonight, doesn't it, Allen?" she looked at him as a smile formed on her lips.

"Yes, yes it does, but there is one other thing tonight that looks much more beautiful than that, Lenalee," Allen responded as a smile formed over his lips. His eyes' gaze were fixed upon Lenalee.

"Huh? What would that be?" Lenalee asked as she cocked an eyebrow in confused, unsure of what Allen meant by 'There is one other thing tonight that looks much more beautiful than that'.

Allen's face had then neared hers slowly, their lips slowly coming together as he then whispered, "You are… You are more beautiful than the night sky Lenalee…," and his lips then met with hers, pressed together for a kiss.

Lenalee's eyes widened in complete surprise as Allen's lips were then pressed against hers. Her eyelids then dropped slightly as she then slid her arms around him, holding him close.

Allen's arms slid around Lenalee's waists, holding her close. Romance within the shadows of war, romantic, is it not?

Both Lenalee's and Allen's lips slowly parted, the both of them staring into the other's eyes. As they stared into each other's eyes, memories of the times they were together had been slipping through their minds. Memories continued to rain in their minds, as they then kissed each other once more. Everything in the room went dead silent, and everything in the room appeared to have been frozen with time.

"Lenalee, I love you…," Allen said in a soft, warm tone of voice, the tone of voice that made Lenalee smile.

"Allen, I love you too…," she said with a soft, warm smile on her face. She then kissed him once more, just a small peck on his lips. Even the smallest kiss had meaning behind the two lovers, a true love, no?

"Hahahaha, you loving idiots do not realize that there is an enemy in the area!" a voice rang out from all the way across the room.

Allen and Lenalee's gazes both immediately shot towards the direction of the voice's origin. To their surprise, there were two people there, but they were not just people… They were…

Allen thought, No way… There is no way they could have… Why did they turn on us?!

Lenalee thought, W-what are they doing here…? Looks like their romantic night out has just been cancelled...
