Chapter 47- Knowledge Is Power
Author Note: Stupid Xephyr and Grim... Enjoy!


Allen rushed around a corner while Lenalee and Milly followed him quickly while Gene had alerted the plice who saw the three running.

"After them!" The police officers shouted as they raced after the three in hot pursuit.

"Why us!? I bet Lavi's having a better time than us!"


Lavi gritted his teeth as he deflected Gene's right hand and quickly parried his left.

"What's the matter, G? You slowing down a great deal. You're making this as easy as a meal." Gene stated as he flipped backwards onto his hands while Lavi swung his hammer at him.

"Stop talking like that!" Lavi snapped angrily as he rapidly swung his hammer at Gene.

"Don't get a temper now. I'll soon finish this with a bow." Gene stated as he pushed off his hands forward and slammed his feet into Lavi's chest.

Lavi hit the ground and rolled as Gene landed on his feet and grinned as he put a hand on his bandana.

"What's wrong, Ex-or-cist? You done playing our little game?" Gene asked as Lavi slowly stood back up with a grimace.

"Not by a long shot!" Lavi snapped, but his body was telling him otherwise.

'Damn it, this is rough. People with prosthetic limbs are natural more flexible and agile than normal people, not I haven't seen anyone with four fake limbs! Give me a freaking break! He has hardly even used his Noah powers!' Lavi thought, but he perked up as he noticed that Gene's skin was still normal colored.

"Hey, how come your skin isn't ash-like?" Lavi asked, and Gene chuckled as he pointed at Lavi.

"You don't get it yet, Holmes? Wattson's got more smarts than you." Gene stated, and Lavi thought about it for a few seconds.

"Holmes…" Lavi muttered, but didn't get anymore time to think about it as Gene used his weight to push his body forward and kick at Lavi.

Lavi used his hammer to block Gene's foot, but flinched as Gene's fist appeared in front of his face.

"Boo, G. Bad form." Gene said as he flicked Lavi in the eye and flipped backwards as Lavi gritted his teeth in pain while placing his hand over his eye.

"No one need think that the world can be ruled without blood." Gene started to quote while he pushed himself forward towards Lavi.

"… The civil sword shall and must be red and bloody." Lavi finished as he fell backwards just in time to dodge a sudden red blade that emerged from Gene's hand.

Lavi used his hand to push himself back onto his feet while he quickly swung his hammer to block Gene's sword.

"Come on, Green. You're not even trying!" Gene said happily as he snapped his leg up and straight into Lavi's jaw with a snapping sound.

Lavi hit the ground while blood rolled out of his mouth while he gripped at his jaw in pain.

Gene grinned as he threw the sword away and it disappeared the moment it left his hand.

"Tough luck, Holmes. Guess you really can't fight in these conditions. You were told to capture me, but you can't cause I have these arms and legs. If you break one of these you might just cause the shock of it to kill me cause of the nerves, right?" Gene stated, and Lavi froze at Gene's statement.

"H-How…?" Lavi asked through a broken jaw while Gene chuckled at Lavi's face.

"I've read every single book in that bookstore. Many of which are medical books, G. I know everything I've read, which is kinda like you, right?" Gene asked as he flexed his left hand calmly.

"I know the human body's every weakness, strength, weak spots, and even pressure points." Gene added while Lavi thought silently to himself while Gene talked.

'Holmes… Mystery… Crimes… Hidden… He's calling me Holmes to hide his Noah features!'


Police officers rushed by an alleyway as they pursued Allen, Lenalee, and Milly.

In the alleyway, Milly poked her head out as she watched the police officers run around the corner.

"Whew… Good luck, you two. I need to go see about Lavi…" Milly said quietly to herself before she turned the other way and was about to run towards where Lavi was until she saw someone standing in the middle of the street.

"You… You were one of the girls… Kureha, right?" Milly muttered to the long golden haired girl who smiled at Milly with a strange air around her.

"Hehehe, you all are so foolish…" Kureha stated as she opened her eyes and Milly froze at the abnormally blue eyes.

"You Exorcists are so freaking foolish!" Kureha shouted as a pillar of flames erupted from where she stood, and Milly felt a shiver fill her body as the flames parted and Leaf grinned at her happily.

"What's wrong, girl? Didn't see that coming?"


Allen and Lenalee ran down the street as they glanced back at the police officers on their tail.

"Do you think it was smart to let Milly go back?" Lenalee asked, but Allen just shrugged before quickly grabbing Lenalee's arm and sharply turning a corner, and then suddenly regretted that he had done so as there was just a hill right there.

Allen lost his balance and tumbled down the hill while holding Lenalee close to him.

The two hit the bottom of the hill, and Lenalee opened an eye to see Allen looking up at the top of the hill.

"Allen…!"

"Shh!" Allen muttered as he put his hand to Lenalee's mouth and slid into the shadows of the hill with Lenalee staring at him as he hid her head from view.

Allen mentally thanked the fact that they were both wearing black as the police officers looked around and then ran down a random street when they didn't see them.

"We'd better get back to Lavi." Allen muttered into Lenalee's ear and she nodded before being helped up.

The two looked at each for a moment and then ran the opposite way the police officers did.


Gene grinned down as Lavi glared up at him with his black eye.

"Bye-bye, Ex-or-cist. It's been a blast, or not." Gene stated as grabbed Lavi's hair and lifted Lavi's head up a little.

"It's raining, it's pouring. The old man is snoring. He fell out of bed and bumped his head…"

Gene trailed off as he gripped Lavi's hair and flung Lavi into a building with the brute strength of a lion.

"And couldn't get up in the morning." Gene stated as Lavi hit the ground and lay there motionlessly while Gene grinned down at him.

"That's all, folks."


Milly stared at Leaf while she had a hand to her necklace while Leaf just stared back with his hands in his pockets.

"Well?" He asked, and Milly braced herself in case he attacked.

"Well what?"

"Why are you still here? Isn't that Bookman in trouble?" Leaf asked, and Milly's eyes widened in surprise.

"W-What…?"

"I can't get any thoughts from him right now. Either he's near death or…" Leaf trailed off as that was all Milly had to hear for her to rush off past Leaf while he smiled after her with his hands off of his pockets.

"Man, what a pain. Being nice isn't my thing… But still…" Leaf trailed off as he stared after Milly sadly.

"It would make me feel worse if I tried to stop someone from helping a loved one like I did then…" Leaf muttered before sighing loudly and kicking a nearby building, which ultimately fell apart from his kick.

"Stop thinking about it!" He shouted loudly before he put his hands on his forehead as he gritted his teeth angrily.


Milly raced down the streets as she neared the place Lavi was, and she slightly stumbled before quickly regaining her balance.

"Please be okay, Lavi…" She muttered until she went silent as she ran into the area and stared over at where Lavi lay on the ground.

"Yo, little Miss Mary has come." Gene stated from where he stood in front of Lavi's body while Milly glared at him angrily.

"You…!" She muttered bitterly as she detached her cross and it changed into her staff as she glared at Gene.

"Okay! Fight Two, Round One! Begin."


There we go. Leaf had to dress up... XD
